Chapter 57 Catching Big Fish

PS: Start recommending on Sunday, and strive for two updates a day.

Erji opened his big mouth, showing his yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "Then I will accept your good words. If such a good thing really happens, I will definitely give you a generous gift."

Su Le also smiled and said: "What's wrong with E Zhen? I'm very grateful that you are willing to help Su Le. How can I dare to accept E Zhen's gift?"

Erji said bluntly: "Su Le, you are too outrageous to say that. Don't think that you are just a Suijiaba Shiku now. It is because you were born as a Jurchen, and it is not easy to reward you when you first enter the battlefield. But who I don't know that you are the companion of Lord Yu and all the sons of Bei, and with such a status, you will only be successful in the morning and evening, so just don't forget me when the time comes."

Su Le showed his face and said: "Ezhen is joking, Su Le is a lowly person, please help Ezhen a lot."

The two were talking and laughing happily on the hillside, and they didn't pay attention to the group of people on the winding official road below the hillside, as if walking there was not a group of strong soldiers, but a group of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

This group of people was the first group of Li Tingyu's white-pole soldiers. They ran in the valley all night and walked out of the mountain road at dawn. Everyone was exhausted. In order to pretend to be merchants, they carried heavy cloths on their backs. , even more tired, the leader Qian Zongguan was encouraging loudly, shouting to go forward for a while, and find a hidden and safe place to rest.

Hearing the shout, Fuquan let out a sneer, leaned close to Su Le and said, "My lord, all the Nanmans have come out, did you ask the sons to rush down and kill them? Everyone has been waiting in this forest for a long time, and the stomach is full of pain." Hold back a burst of fire, the military spirit is very strong."

Su Le looked down the hillside intently, waved his hands and said, "No hurry, look, how many people are there in this Nanman team?"

Fuquan was taken aback, quickly stretched out his fingers, counted the number carefully, and replied: "My lord, there are 50 people in total."

As soon as the words came out, he came back to his senses: "That's not right, the spies reported a few days ago that there are more than 400 people left in Nanban. Where are some of them?"

Su Le sneered and said: "This is the cunning of Li Tingyu. He also knows that the territory of HN is already my Qing Dynasty. Even if he is careful and careful, he will inevitably meet our warriors. If everyone gathers Walking together, if you are surrounded, you will be finished, so we sent forward the vanguard. If we rush down now, it is easy to kill them, but it will scare the snake. The group behind will rush into the mountains, and it will be difficult to find them. gone."

He snorted coldly and said again: "You call that Nanman guerrilla here, tell him to recognize someone later, and we can only do it when Li Tingyu shows up. As for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of us, it's no problem to chase them after the leader is dealt with." Late!"

Fuquan took the order and turned to leave. Not long after, he turned back with another person.The man brought back had a sallow complexion, mouse eyes and light brows, the appearance of a monkey with a sharp mouth, and a horizontal arrow mark on his forehead.

Tian Xiong smiled charmingly, bowed and stood behind Su Le, and asked respectfully, "My lord, did you call me?"

Su Le didn't even bother to turn around, he pouted at Fuquan, Fuquan shouted: "My lord ordered you to observe the slope down here, if Li Tingyu shows up, please remind me immediately."

Tian Xiong Yixi, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious service in front of the nobles of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. I have been dreaming of being able to blend into the embrace of the Qing like the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. The time has come. If I can get this seemingly powerful The young Qing army officers appreciate it, so why worry about not being able to achieve their goals?
So Tian Xiong patted his chest and said boldly: "Don't worry, my lord, even if Li Tingyu turns into fly ash, I can still smell his smell, so I guarantee that there will be no mistakes."

Su Le glanced at him sideways, and then said: "A few days ago, I was at the Guangzhou Ferry, but I saw Li Tingyu come ashore with my own eyes?"

Tian Xiong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, even though it was dark that night, I could see clearly, there is no doubt that Li Tingyu went ashore!"

Su Le nodded, and didn't make a sound anymore, just focused on looking down the slope, waiting and watching with hope.

The white-armed soldiers at the foot of the hill didn't realize that on the hill not far from them, there was a group of Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army staring at them like wolves and tigers. It was already bright, and it would be inappropriate to take the risk of traveling during the day, so he urged his men to leave the valley as soon as possible. He had seen the map when he set out. He said that it would be safe to find a secluded mountain to rest at that time.

How did he know that his 50 people had already turned around in front of the Hall of the King of Hades, and under the gaze of Su Le and others, they followed the road and left the sight of the Qing army without knowing it, turned around the hillside, and disappeared.

Half an hour later, the second group of soldiers with white poles appeared at the corner of the mountain official road. Suler calmly waited for all 50 people in this group to walk out and there was no one behind him. He turned back to look at Tian Xiong and used His eyes asked.

Tian Xiong looked carefully and carefully, taking a close look at the appearance of everyone in the queue. He shook his head in response to Suler's gaze and gritted his teeth and said, "Li Tingyu is not in there."

Erji and Fuquan looked at Su Le, Su Le pondered for a while, and said decisively: "Let them go!"

Erji was full of helplessness, staring fiercely at the team staggering down the mountain with a pair of bull's eyes, muttering in his mouth, he didn't know what he was talking to himself.

The second team of white-armed soldiers also did not notice the Qing soldiers ambushing on the hillside. The Dabie Mountains are full of stones and trees, and there are no human settlements. They have walked all night and found nothing unusual. When they came here, they were physically and mentally exhausted, so naturally they would not suspect someone in an ambush. , just bowed his head and hurried on the road, following the official road, the group of people also disappeared at the corner of the road.

When the third team appeared, it was almost time. The sun was high and the sun was shining brightly. The warm sun shone on the people who were driving at night. The heat made people feel comfortable. The white soldiers who came out of the woods I just felt that my whole body strength seemed to come up again, and they all cheered up. The jokes in the team that had been silent for a whole night sounded again, and the leader of the team, Qian Zong, laughed and cursed, and led the people to walk out of the valley in high spirits.

Before Su Le on the hillside turned his head to ask, Erji beside him couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at Tian Xiong impatiently in a low voice: "Nan Manzi, you motherfucker, let me see clearly, is there anyone in this team?" The thief?"

Tian Xiong's heart skipped a beat when he was yelled at by Erji, who was as strong as a human bear. He looked and looked down the mountain tremblingly, and replied with horror: "My lord, I still haven't."

Erji was furious, rushed over and grabbed Tian Xiong's lapel, grinned and cursed: "Have you seen your eyes clearly, kid? It's already past the third team. The thief has gone to heaven, why hasn't he appeared yet?"

His face was extremely ferocious, and when he was angry, he became even more ferocious. The saliva from his mouth sprayed all over Tian Xiong's face. Tian Xiong was so frightened that he cried out: "My lord, my lord, the one who is coming down below is here." It’s really not true, I looked carefully and it’s true that Li Tingyu didn’t go there.”

Fuquan persuaded: "Sir Ezhen, this person is Li Tingyu who used to be a guerrilla in the army. He knows the appearance of the thief leader and will not admit his mistake."

Erji let go of Tian Xiong angrily, and Tian Xiong rolled aside as if he had been pardoned, not daring to look at Erji.Erji angrily said to the silent Su Le: "Then what should we do? Let this team go?"

Su Le turned around, his eyes were as calm as the blue waves of autumn water, without a single ripple, he said indifferently: "Let them pass!"

Erji's face was flushed and his eyes were red with anger. He watched the third group of white soldiers slowly disappear from the official road to the end of the road. He stomped his feet resentfully and shouted: "Su Le, This Southern barbarian is so stupid, who knows if he can recognize it? Then the three groups of Southern barbarians in the past carried a big burden on their backs, which must be full of gold and silver treasures that we have found so hard. Let them go there, if we can't catch up and find them in the future, how will you and I explain to Prince Yu?"

Su Le still said calmly: "Sir Zhen, there is a saying among the Han people, which is to put a long line and catch a big fish. Have you heard of it?"
