C224 He's Honest and Honest
If they choose the direction of Luoyang, it's as good as sending themselves to their deaths. This was because the legendary Guanning Cavalry, which came from the east of Liaodong, was currently clearing out the rebel armies, causing the rebel armies to fall to the ground. They cried for their parents, all of them hating that their parents had given birth to two less legs. They hoped that they would be able to run faster than their allies, and that the Guanning Cavalry would never chase after them.
If they were to head towards Luoyang at this moment, it would only mean that they were tired of living. Therefore, on this path, Mi Shuhuang did not send anyone to investigate.
The scouts sent out later reported that there were still no traces of Zhang Jingxuan's troops on the road to Luoyang. Mi Shuhuang felt that he could not help but curse.
It wasn't a big deal that he couldn't find them, but the two ancestors that he had spent a lot of money to invite back. It wasn't something that could be settled with money. He had also arranged for Zhang Jingxuan. He said that he disdained the Mi family. That was why he had provoked these two ancestors to stand up for him. Of course, material benefits couldn't be excluded.
He was in such a hurry that he couldn't find anyone. He was still alright, but if those two ancestors became impatient and left, if he lost his backer, it would be fine for him to be busy for nothing... If he offended those two ancestors, he would really cry, but no tears would come out.
Fortunately, at this moment, a scout from the border came to report and discovered the whereabouts of Zhang Jingxuan's team.
That trace did not come from the main road, but from a remote road. There were traces of a large group of people passing by. The scout did not dare to be slow and quickly returned to report.
When Mi Shuhuang heard the news, he personally led a team to check it out. The final conclusion was indeed as the scout had said. Zhang Jingxuan led his team and did not choose any city as their next stop as everyone had expected. Instead, they went into the mountains.
Mi Shuhuang's wishful thinking turned into nothing.
He had wanted to make use of the advantage of having more cavalry under his command, even if he let Zhang Jingxuan's troops go first for a few days. And five or six days later... It was time for them to be tired of horses and horses. He would ride lightly and chase after them. He would be able to maintain his best condition and face a bunch of motley crew members. It was a piece of cake.
However, now that the other party had entered the mountain for no apparent reason, the advantage of his horse was almost gone. Moreover, after delaying for so long, the other party had already walked for three to four days. It would be extremely difficult for him to chase after them again.
If he chased at full speed, he would become a tired master. It was hard to say whether his subordinates could endure it or not. If he caused another mutiny among the soldiers, it would become a big joke.
In the middle of a dilemma, Mi Shuhuang could only turn his gaze to the two helpers he had hired with a large sum of money.
These two were his grandfather and grandson. The old man was about fifty years old, and his face was covered with wrinkles. His waist was no longer straight, and he was holding a pipe in his hand. He would smoke from time to time, then cough for a while. No matter how he looked at it, he could not tell that he was an expert.
That grandson was about 18 or 19 years old, and he didn't look very similar to the old man. He had a round nose and curved eyes. When he smiled, his teeth were uneven. If he was thrown into the market, he would probably be bullied. But he just felt as if he was Pan An's reincarnation, and he often needed Gu Jing to feel pity for himself. Looking at his intoxicated appearance in the mirror made people's hearts break. Everyone broke out in a cold sweat for the mirror, wondering if they would look in the mirror. The mirror would be ruined.
The old man's name was Mi Huawei, and the junior's name was Mi Ouping. From the looks of it, the two of them were... However, Mi Shuhuang was a great general. It was as if he was afraid that the two of them would be scared to death, and he was extremely respectful to them. Therefore, no matter who it was, no one dared to underestimate the two of them.
"Hey, Xiao Mi, did you inform that brat in advance? That is why he is afraid of running into this mountain and causing us to make a trip here for nothing to earn money ah? There are snakes, rats, mosquitoes on this mountain and my grandfather's health is not good either. Let's make this clear first, we are not responsible for overturning mountains and overseeing the wilderness to help you vent your anger. Of course, unless you can afford it, we are a group of honest people. We are the most trustworthy people. As long as the previous price is increased by tenfold, we will go into the mountains and get the people without saying anything. "
Mi Ouping held a toothpick in his mouth and casually said to Mi Shuhuang, but his eyes did not even look at the other party.
"How dare you? How dare you? That kid must have heard the names of the two of you and fled when he saw the wind. And he didn't dare to walk on the main road, so he could only dig a mountain and escape. As for the reward, since the two of you are here... Naturally, there won't be a single cent less. Furthermore, I have found some small items these few days. Borrowing flowers to present Buddha, I am just about to send them over. I hope that the two of you will not mind.
Grandpa Mi's health is more important, so don't mention about entering the mountain. Anyway, that kid could run away, but the monk could not run away from the temple. He had to come out early, late, and late at night, right? At that time, I will prepare another sedan to invite the two of you out. Furthermore, the remuneration will be paid separately."
Mi Shuhuang said with a little flattery, but in his heart, he thought, Ten times? That was going to take his own life. Since he couldn't catch that kid at the moment, it was better to send these two ancestors away as soon as possible.
"En, let's do it like this. No wonder grandpa always says that Xiao Mi is a good child. Looks like it is not for nothing that I dote on you. If there is nothing else, then go back. It is time for the two of us to go home. You can just directly send the things to the residence."
Mi Shuhuang was a lot bigger than Mi Ouping, but Mi Ouping kept talking about Xiao Mi. He had almost treated him as a junior, but Mi Shuhuang didn't feel ashamed at all. On the contrary, he was beaming with joy, as if he was the most glorious person in the world. Even the soldiers under his command couldn't stand it any longer. However, who would care about such a thing?
Mi Shuhuang bowed respectfully and left with his subordinates in a hurry. Mi Huawei looked old and dizzy, but he didn't say anything. Since Mi Ouping had sent Mi Shuhuang away in a hurry, he must have some thoughts.
"Grandpa, Zhang Jingxuan didn't walk on the road, but went into the deep mountains and forests. He must be tired of cats. Shall we go and take a look?"
Mi Huawei heard this and coughed a few more times. He did not say anything and only nodded to express his agreement. After a moment, the two of them disappeared into the dense forest.
Zhang Jingxuan chose to enter the mountain not because of a sudden impulse, but because he had made a careful decision after having a deep conversation with Lee Yao. Ding Zhaoyun played a big role in this.
Shang Mountain was a part of the Qin Mountains. The mountain was winding and steep. The poet of the Song Dynasty, Yu Zhong, had specially composed a poem called Shang Mountain.
Six hundred miles of rock, Lan Guangdi. He had not gotten it over the years, and he could not get tired of it.
The mountain was fast, and the mountain was fast, blocking the sea toad. In the deep spring, there was ice, and in the broad spring, there was no fire.
It was enough to show the magnificence and magnificence of the Shang Mountain.
