Chapter 442 Sudden
Meng Huo came out of the Han camp carrying his sword inlaid with pine patterns. Meng Yan behind him asked, "Brother, where are we going this time?"
Hearing this, Meng Huo looked back at the clan members following him. Everyone was more or less injured, and their expressions were extremely depressed.
He knew that everyone had been defeated by Zhuge Liang and lost their will. Even if they could gather the soldiers again, they would be afraid when they encountered Zhuge Liang and lose the courage to fight.
He could only let out a long sigh, "Go back and find the lost people first, and then make long-term plans."
Let alone them, it’s me. How can it be that I have already convinced Zhuge Liang?
Remembering that Zhuge Liang could predict his actions every time, which was really like the help of ghosts and gods, Meng Huo couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart.
Thinking of ghosts and gods, he recalled the thunder warning when he was in Wei County, and his fear became even more intense.
“Brother, do we really want to keep fighting?”
Meng Yan asked numbly.
Meng Huo smiled bitterly, "How to fight? This time, it is our last fortune."
Nowadays, all the cave masters and commanders in Yizhou County regard themselves as a savage beast and cannot avoid them. They just want to tie themselves up and go to Zhuge Liang to ask for rewards. How can anyone be willing to send troops to help them?
After thinking for a while, he confessed to everyone, "I want to go back to the stronghold, recruit the lost tribesmen, and then surrender to the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. What do you think?"
After hearing Meng Huo's words, everyone was stunned, and in the end, for some reason, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Huo saw this and understood. He knew that even those closest to him were tired of the war, and he was even more determined to surrender.
Mrs. Zhu Rong, on the other hand, frowned and said, "Just now in the Han military camp, the Han officer was so disgusting! Ayi Abei, since you went out in anger, if you turn back and surrender to the Han people now, I'm afraid you will be humiliated by him again."
After hearing this, Meng Yan's face changed and he said, "If brother really has this intention, how about I go into the Han camp to see Zhuge Liang first and observe what's going on?"
"you?"
Meng Huo looked at Meng Yan with questions in his eyes.
"Yes," Meng Yan nodded, "I think about it, if Zhuge Liang let my brother go many times, wasn't it just to convince him?"
"So I'm going to find out what it means first. If I guess it's true, I think my brother will be happy if he comes to surrender. If not, why should my brother be the one begging for mercy? Just fight to the death with Zhuge Liang. "
“Good brother…”
Meng Huo held Meng Yan's arms, his face full of emotion and guilt, "I...brother, thank you very much. I promise you, if they dare to humiliate you again, I will not surrender until death."
Meng Yan forced a smile, nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the Han camp again, but when he lowered his head, there was a flash of guilt in his eyes that no one else could detect.
The sergeants in the Han camp couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw Meng Yan leaving and coming back.
“Sir, please come this way.”
Naigu led the way and pointed ahead and said, "Sir, I heard Api say that after passing the valley in front, the copper mining place is in the mountains inside."
Naigu said while walking in front and leading the way, "Api won't let me. They said that ordinary people cannot enter this place."
As he spoke, he pointed to both sides of the valley, "I heard that there were people guarding this place before."
"Although the people evacuated later, who knows when the government will come back? If they come back and find someone going in privately, it will be bad. So Api and the others made a rule that no one in the village can enter here. valley."
“When I was little, I often heard Api say that there are ghosts here who eat children...”
“As time went by, the people in the village gradually got used to it, so I really don’t know what it’s like here.”
Naigu talked nonchalantly and took the lead into the valley.
“It doesn’t matter, Elder Gu, as long as we can be sure that copper was mined inside. With so many of us, we can find the mine anyway.”
Because Nai Gu said that he didn’t know which hilltop his Api dug the copper from, Feng Yong brought most of the people over and then dispersed them all to find the mine that year. It must not be What a difficult thing.
Nai Gu turned around and smiled, "Yes, sir, you have brought so many people, it must be enough."
At this time, Old Soldier Lu walked up to Feng Yong, reined in Feng Yong's horse, and said with a smile, "Master, everyone is tired, why don't you take a rest at the entrance of the valley first?"
Feng Yong was stunned for a moment and looked back at the team behind him. Then he remembered that he was the only one riding a horse in the team. He nodded immediately, "Then let's rest for a while."
With that said, he got off his horse and said to Naigu who was walking in front, "Elder Naigu, let's take a rest here first and move forward later."
Naigu paused, looked up and looked ahead, as if looking at the sky, "Sir, it's getting late, I'm afraid we have to get to the field quickly, why not rest after crossing the valley?"
Feng Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry, we brought enough food when we came out this time. It's no problem to stay in the mountains for an extra day or two."
“In that case, then listen to your Majesty.”
After the order was passed, Old Soldier Lu walked up to Feng Yong and said softly, "Master, would you like me to send a few people to explore the way ahead?"
Feng Yong was startled, glanced at Nai Gu in front of him, and then asked in the same volume, "What did you find?"
Old Soldier Lu shook his head, "Nothing unusual. It's just that I think it's better to be careful as the master is in an unknown place. Besides, when marching in a dangerous place, it's common sense to send someone to find out the situation first. "
Feng Yong glanced at Old Lu with a complicated look. So this was the reason why he suggested taking a rest in front of the valley entrance, right?
Although he felt that Old Man Lu was making a fuss, he was doing it for his own good. After all, he was also a cautious and loyal person. Feng Yong couldn't help but calm down, so he nodded immediately.
“Sure, let a few of you go to the front and take a look, be careful.”
“The villain understands.”
After getting permission, Old Soldier Lu turned to the soldiers, called a few people, pointed to both ends of the valley and said something, and then the people started running towards both sides of the valley.
Naigu saw what he was doing here, turned around and walked to Feng Yong, bent down as if to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Do you believe in villains?"
Feng Yong was a little unsure and shook his head. A smile appeared on his face and he was about to speak when he saw Naigu's face suddenly turned ferocious. The hand hanging on his waist suddenly pulled out a short knife from his arms and stabbed Feng Yong straight at him!
Feng Yong was sitting on the ground, his movements were inconvenient, and his reaction was half a beat too slow. When he saw the short knife in Naigu's hand, his head buzzed, and he felt that the blood all over his body was boiling.
