From Xinghu to Famen Temple, there are rivers everywhere along the way. There are large plains between rivers and fertile fields everywhere. The villages are crisscrossing with fields and lush fruit trees. The mountains seem to be in the sky at all times, but even if you walk towards the mountains for half a day, the terrain is still flat, and the distance between them does not seem to be brought in.
Xiao Zhenwei led Taoist Pu to walk on the road. He looked at the gentle rivers in the world around him, felt the peaceful and quiet atmosphere in the fields, and felt different feelings in his heart.
Taoist Pu was not short at first, and his body looked majestic when he was hung with things on his body. In addition, he had strange horns on his head, which made his hat look taller. In this way, his body looked particularly tall.
But the longer he followed Xiao Zhenwei, the more he felt the occasional fluctuation of the energy when Xiao Zhenwei felt the sword intent, he naturally became more afraid, just like a completely tamed cow and horse.
Chen Ruoruo and Shangguan Zhaoyi have gradually adapted to this kind of walking in the open and sleeping place. Now they don’t need to carry any luggage. They talked and laughed with Gu Liubai, but it was really like an outing.
Walking in this plain for two consecutive days, bypassing more than ten villages, there was nothing unusual. However, in the afternoon of that day, when we arrived at the famous Meiyang River in Fufeng County, many hills finally surged on both sides of the river. While the scenery became more beautiful, it was easier to hide our whereabouts, Gu Liubai suddenly said to Xiao Zhenwei, "Master, it seems that we are going to prepare for a battle again."
Xiao Zhenwei was originally thinking about the problem of swordsmanship, but suddenly he heard Gu Liubai say this, and he was a little surprised, "Where did you see it?"
Gu Liubai knew that his master was studious and had the power to be better than his own. He did not hide his own personal gains and taught him, "My master, we have been walking on this plain in the past two days, just like walking outside the wilderness, both have advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that there is no big cover, and the enemy can find our whereabouts outside our perception. However, the advantage is that we practitioners can see far and easily find some clues. In the past two days, I have been paying attention to the birds in the distant sky. There are only a few birds on the plain here, and some birds used to convey military information may not fly faster than ordinary birds, but they look purposeful and will not circle too much in one place."
Chen Ruoruo was so sensible that he felt that this was indeed interesting. Xiao Zhenwei couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes, even the most ordinary pigeons will not play and play somewhere like those ordinary birds, and will not stop on some trees."
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I saw that the birds flying out of some directions specifically for military information seemed to be strange birds, with speeds much faster than ordinary carrier pigeons, and they were extremely regular. After carefully looking at the course of these birds, I felt that someone was rewarding our whereabouts. However, today we walked towards Meiyang River, and it has not been transmitted by such birds for nearly two hours. This is very abnormal compared to usual days, so I think the opponent may have been prepared and there is no need to observe our whereabouts too much."
Xiao Zhenwei's face looked slightly cold and said, "It turns out that there is so much knowledge. If you want to predict the enemy's initiative, you have to make a fuss in the details. If the opponent ambushed the heavy troops in the hills along the river, how should we deal with it?"
Gu Liubai now knows him very well, and he has learned so long, and he also knows Gu Liubai's style of behavior very well. He knows that if he had changed to an ordinary person, he might be thinking about bypassing the banks of the Meiyang River and avoiding the enemy, but he is sure that Gu Liubai would not think so.
Sure enough, he heard Gu Liubai smile and said, "My uncle, the soldiers are the tricks. We are stronger when fighting in the river. The two of us are in the river. The banks of the Meiyang River are high and low hills, which is not conducive to the cavalry passing through. As long as there are not thousands of cavalry surrounding us in the middle, we can do whatever we can. We can pretend not to know, set up a point of action, or pretend to have discovered their intentions. We pretend to take a detour, but sneak back to humiliate them. I tend to be the latter between the two, because the first method is similar to the last time we waited for Qilian Canglan in the workshop, and it is too boring to use it."
Xiao Zhenwei is now very fond of sneak attacks. He nodded frequently when he heard it, and felt that it was just right for him.
Shen Ruoruo rolled his eyes and said, "Young Master Lu, I think you can't bear to give up on me and think that I will squander the first method again."
Gu Liubai's old face turned red and said, "How is it possible? It mainly makes you feel a little fresh."
Shen Ruoruo's eyes flicked, and he suddenly smiled, making Gu Liubai feel a little guilty.
However, when the enemy was facing, Shen Ruoruo did not let Gu Liubai distract himself too much and took the initiative, "Then where will we go first?"
Gu Liubai smiled slightly and said, "The other party set up a formation and waited for us. It was their urgent thing. It was not us. We might as well pick a place with good scenery by the river to take a rest and see what their reactions are. Do you want to eat fish? If you want to eat, I can catch two."
Shen Ruoruo was delicious, and catching fish in this wild river to eat was the first time for her. She immediately became interested and said simply, "Eat!"
"That bamboo forest is good, you can just play there and see the scenery." Gu Liubai pointed at a nearby bamboo forest.
"Let's go." Shen Ruoruo couldn't wait to pull Shangguan Zhaoyi towards the bamboo forest.
Gu Liubai instantly swung his knife to cut a bunch of bamboo without any rope binding. He just cut out some gaps and inserted them into each other. Before Shen Ruoruo understood what he was going to do, he had already made a big bamboo raft, then cut some bamboo and made a spear.
Shen Ruoruo was smart and knew Gu Liubai. Seeing Gu Liubai instantly made a big bamboo raft, she understood that Gu Liubai had prepared a way out of retreat by taking advantage of the reason for catching fish, but she just didn't want her and Shangguan Zhaoyi to be nervous.
She and Shangguan Zhaoyi looked at each other and knew that Shangguan Zhaoyi had already seen it.
The two sides exchanged their eyes for a moment, and Shangguan Zhaoyi smiled slightly and asked, "Young Master Lu, are you so good at catching fish?"
Gu Liubai patted his chest and laughed, "Who doesn't know that I, Lu Letian, love fish alone? Isn't love fish yet?"
Shangguan Zhaoyi often played with Heitutuan and knew about Heitutuan stealing fish, so he immediately laughed out loud.
Gu Liubai explained softly again, "In the past, I often caught fish and rabbits with Zhou Lu'er. These things can make perfect. Especially after I practiced my sword skills well, if I encounter a water pool with fish, catching fish will be too simple. If you don't believe me, you can make a fire. I promise that you just have good fire, so I will catch a few good fish."
"This bamboo is so hot, sister Zhaoyi, let's make a fire soon, let's see if he blows it through." Chen Ruoruo immediately went to hold the bamboo leaves and bamboo branches.
Gu Liubai intended to make them happy and pushed the bamboo raft into the water. After the flames rose, he jumped onto the bamboo raft. He only heard him stomping on the bamboo raft a few feet, and the sound of a bang. Many fish in the river were frightened and jumped out. Gu Liubai used a bamboo spear to stab them, and instantly stabbed several fish of all sizes, and even the breed was different.
Chen Ruoruo looked at the fish carried on Gu Liubai's bamboo spear and found that they were all passing through the gills. She couldn't help but stretched out her thumb, said loudly, and then asked happily, "Which one is the best?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "You try any one of them. I'll help you catch them if you think they are the best."
Chen Ruoruo sighed, feeling that his little man's answer was really impeccable.
Gu Liubai skillfully opened several fish to the stomach, washed them, and then put them on the fire to roast them. After a while, he felt idle and was idle, so he actually grabbed two more, took a marching pot from his bag of Pu Taoren, hung it on the fire, and started to use the fish to make fish soup.
When the grilled fish was about to be roasted, Xiao Zhenwei said, "Someone is here."
Gu Liubai climbed up a bamboo in just a few seconds, and Chen Ruoruo laughed out loud, "Young Master Lu, the monkeys are not as fast as you."
Gu Liubai looked around and found that there was only one person walking over a path.
The man carried the load and looked like a peddler, but when he got closer, Xiao Zhenwei said, "This man is a cultivator."
Gu Liubai jumped off the bamboo and then grilled the fish, saying, "Master, this man is probably a Xuanjia Soldier. The Xuanjia Soldier's waist and legs are particularly thick. He looks fat on his waist, but in fact he has no fat at all."
Xiao Zhenwei was stunned, "Can you even see this?"
He looked at the person carrying the burden again, and he realized that the man's legs and waist were indeed much thicker than ordinary people.
The man who was carrying the load was still half a mile away from the bamboo forest, but he had already asked, "But Mr. Lu?"
"What kind of way is this?" Chen Ruoruo was a little surprised.
Gu Liubai frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
The person carrying the load responded, "In Xiawei Qinghe, I am just an unknown person. I am here to help Mr. Meiyu come to give Mr. Lu a gift."
"My Yu Young Master?" Gu Liubai had read some military information about Goryeo, and he thought of this person in his mind, "Is Mr. Goryeo's Mei Yu Young Master?"
Weiqing River, “That’s it.”
Gu Liubai said, "What did he ask you to send?"
Weiqing River, "It's fine wine and some food."
Chen Ruoruo and Shangguan Zhaoyi looked at each other and suddenly felt that the handsome young master's style was different from that of ordinary people.
Gu Liubai smiled at this time and said, "Then you send it here first. He asked you to send these things. What words do you have to bring?"
Wei Qinghedao: "He posted a letter but did not explain anything else."
Gu Liubai nodded and said nothing more.
Wei Qinghe came over and put down the load, lifted the cloth covered with the basket, and there were indeed wine jars and food boxes inside.
Wei Qinghe took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Liubai.
