Chapter 10 Leiyu Bay (Part 2)

The sky in the east was already bright, and the heavy red sun was slowly climbing on the distant horizon. Yes, it was a clear morning.

Liu Yixuan was only concerned about interrogating the man who was keeping watch for the Jin soldiers in front of him, but did not monitor the thatched hut not far away. In fact, Niu Er also had an accomplice, named Yu San, who was two years older than Niu Er and in his early thirties. He was a fisherman from the same village as Niu Er. When he saw Niu Er get this job, he also signed up in the Jin camp. The two were companions at the outpost.

It was already dawn, and Yu San got up and rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched his big waist on the mat. He turned around and looked at Niu Er's mat. There was no sign of people. In the past, Niu Er had to wake Yu San up when he woke up in the morning, and then went to the military camp to pay the money together. When Niu Er got up today, he found it strange that he disappeared.

"Niu Er, Niu Er! Where have you died?" Yu San shouted outside the door.

This shout immediately surprised Liu Yixuan. He hurriedly asked the soldiers around him to hide and grabbed Niu Er.

"Speak quickly, who else is in that room?"

"Good man, please spare me, I said,! There is another companion in the room, who is from the same village as the younger one, and his name is Yu San!"

"Why did he call you?"

"This...he probably saw that the little one was not in the house, so he called the little one at will!"

"Then when did you go to reply to the Jin Bing?"

"It's hard to say this. Anyway, I'll go back when I wake up in the morning. There is a manager in the military camp who is also a Han Chinese. We all go to ask him for a reply and then get the salary for today."

"Oh? That Jin camp is not far from here? How many people are guarding?"

Niu Er felt a little worried when he heard that Liu Yixuan was about to inquire about the Jin soldiers' camp, because he didn't know what the group of people in front of him did? He only saw them holding short knives and daggers. Although they looked like robbers who were robbing families, they didn't ask which local big families were there, but only asked about the news about the Jin soldiers' camp. Although he was a rural villager, he still had several plans in his heart. He was afraid that he would leak the secrets of the Jin soldiers for a while and be retaliated by the Jin soldiers in the future.

"This... the villain is not very clear. Usually, the Jin soldiers didn't let us in, and they just finished the settlement outside the camp."

"Niu Er, Niu Er!" Yu San in the house called out again. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he had to get up and put on his clothes.

Liu Yixuan quickly asked the people around him to retreat into the reeds to hide. He pressed Niu Er's back with a dagger and said softly in his ear:

"The first condition is to do everything as I said, the second condition is to take me to the Jin Bing Camp, the third condition is to let me know after I have thought about it, have you heard it clearly?"

"I heard it clearly, I heard it clearly, please spare my life!" Niu Er begged.

"Okay, very good. The more you are obedient, the longer you live. I think the Jin soldiers told you how they said it!"

"I dare not, I dare not, I will listen to the old man!"

At this time, Yu San had already put on his clothes. He pushed open the door and walked out, "Niu Er, Niu Er!"

"Promise him, hurry up!" Liu Yixuan ordered in Niu Er's ear.

"Hey, Yu San, I'm here!" Niu Er replied tremblingly.

Yu San turned around and looked to the river, and saw Niu Er standing in the grass with his upper body, and a young man was standing beside him.

"Niu Er, you are deaf. You won't agree if you call you for a long time! Huh? Who is the one next to you?"

"He is..."

"This elder brother, I am Niu Er's distant cousin. Today I came to visit relatives. I heard that he was working on a job by the river, so I came to find him. When I saw the elder brother sleeping in the house, I didn't dare to disturb him!" Liu Yixuan replied in a distance.

"Oh? It turns out that the relative is here, so come over quickly, why are you standing by the river doing!"

Liu Yixuan leaned against Niu Er's shoulder, took the dagger back to his waist, and whispered: "Don't play tricks for me, my brothers are all following you. If you want to run away, then don't want the lives of the whole family!"

After hearing this, Niu Er felt a little sad. He only regretted not telling this group of bad guys about his surname and address. Now that he can run away, the monk can't run away.

"Yes, yes, yes, little one dare not, little one listens to your instructions!"

Liu Yixuan and Niu Er walked to the door of the thatched hut, and Yu San carefully looked at Niu Er's "relative". Although Liu Yixuan was wearing a coarse casual clothes at this time, he could not hide his delicate face.

"Second, where is your relative? Why haven't I seen it before? It's so white, not as thick as you!"

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan quickly replied: "I am from Fengqiu, Niu Er Ge's distant cousin, and he is still studying in the school."

"Oh, I said! Why do you look like a scholar? Niu Er, you have such a relative, and I have never heard you mention it!"

Niu Er smiled and said, "Yes, he is my distant cousin. Because he is far away, he has not had much contact and you have never seen him."

After hearing this, Yu San nodded and said, "That's right, this Fengqiu is indeed quite far away from us!" He then asked, "What are your cousin doing here this time?"

"This time he..." Niu Er didn't know how to answer.

"Oh, that's right. I originally wanted to study and get a fame, but now we have all become slaves to the destruction of the country. The emperor of the Jin Kingdom did not enroll in the imperial examinations to obtain scholars. I think studying is useless, so I might as well go out for a walk, so I thought of traveling around Puyang and Handan. One came to visit relatives and friends, and the other was to have a long experience. When I passed by this place, I remembered this distant relative and took the opportunity to visit him."

"Oh, so that's it. Niu Er, why don't you go back and ask your wife to prepare the meal and treat you, the distinguished guest!" After hearing this explanation, Yu San did not doubt it. After all, he was someone else's relative, so it was not convenient to ask more questions, so he had to politely say a few words.

When Niu Eryi heard that he was going home to entertain him well, he shouted and scolded, but he had no choice but to endure it. He remembered that this group of people wanted to go to the Jin army camp, and it was probably the Song army on the south bank. If this was the case, he might be able to save his life.

Niu Er said to San: "My brother heard that I was working in the military camp, so he shouted that I would take him to the military camp to see it. We were going to go to the military camp to report, so we would take him together!"

Yu San smiled and said, "Niu Er, are you confused again? The Jin soldiers' barracks are ordinary people. Let's go to work as a service officer and just watch from afar outside the gate. He is a stranger, how can those who stand whistle let him in?"

In fact, Niu Er said this on purpose, just to let Liu Yixuan listen. It was not that he didn't work hard, but that the golden men would not let the strangers enter at all. After Yu San said this, Niu Er deliberately pretended to be helpless to Liu Yixuan, meaning: You have heard it, it's not that I won't take you there, but that the strangers wouldn't let them get close!

Liu Yixuan was not willing to give up. It was not only Niu Er who was patrolling the river. Yu San and the other two were still many such outposts on the Yellow River defense line hundreds of miles away. How could the Jin soldiers know all of them? This must be because Niu Er is timid and afraid of things and unwilling to work hard for himself.

Liu Yixuan said to Sanxiao: "I just want to go to the edge of the military camp to see it, open my eyes and gain a better understanding, and never disturb my brothers' business. You can take me to see it!"

When Yu San heard the white-faced scholar's request, he was a relative of the Niu Er family and it was difficult for him to refuse. He looked at Niu Er's expression and looked embarrassed. In fact, Niu Er was silently reciting in his heart: "Don't agree! Don't agree!", but Yu San thought Niu Er was making things difficult for this matter. Since they were good neighbors, how could Yu San not help him?

"Okay, since you have this interest, you can go with us as soon as possible. But you have to wait in the distance and don't walk forward. Those Jin soldiers are all fierce!"

Liu Yixuan immediately became happy and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, brother, I have all recorded it!"

Niu Eryi saw that Yu San agreed. The two of them were talking and laughing like brothers. There was no way to accept their fate.

………………………………………

The Jin soldiers' barracks were not far from the outpost, only more than two miles away. You could see the white camp tent in the distance through a small forest. Liu Yixuan followed them and looked back to check. Wang Zichun and a team of people followed behind them.

Liu Yixuan came to ask Yu San: "Brother San, when do you fish on weekdays?"

"What? Still fishing? We haven't fished for half a year?"

"Why don't you fish?" Liu Yixuan asked intentionally. Niu Er listened on the side, glanced at him, and cursed in his heart: "I have told him all this bastard, and he came to ask Yu San, obviously he didn't trust me. He is really not a bunch of good birds!"

Yu San said: "We also want to fish, but we have no boats. How can we fish?"

"The ship is gone, too? Where have the ships gone?"

"Well! You don't know yet, our ships were conquered by Jin soldiers!"

"Is the conquest? What did the Jin soldiers want these ships to do? Could it be that they split them and burn the fire to keep warm?"

"Haha, this little brother is really good at joking. How can I use fire to keep warm in this dog days? These boats are all housed in the Liyu Bay to the west!..."

"Yu San! What were you talking about?" Niu Er quickly interrupted Yu San's words. Yu San knew that he had lost his words and hurriedly covered his mouth.

When Liu Yixuan heard the three words "Liyuwan", he had already predicted that it was the place where the Jin soldiers stationed their ships, but Niu Er was a little scheming and had to be careful for the moment.

Liu Yixuan originally wanted to teach this cunning Niu Er a lesson, but at this time there was Yu San around him, and there was another Jin Bing camp not far away. He had to glar at Niu Er fiercely, record the accounts for him, and then come to calculate for him in the future.

Five or six hundred steps away from the gate of the Jin camp, Liu Yixuan gradually slowed down. He observed the terrain left and right, and remembered the surrounding dangerous landmarks in his mind. This time he crossed the river, his purpose was to find the place where the Jin soldiers stationed their ships and get thousands of warships for the army on the south bank so that Zong Ze's army could cross the river smoothly. As for the Jin soldiers here, they naturally did not dare to touch them.

Many communicators who were communicating with each other came one after another, Niu Er and Yu San could meet some acquaintances. The two of them were just talking to acquaintances from all over the countryside, but they didn't pay much attention to Liu Yixuan behind them. When they were still a hundred steps away from the gate of the camp, Yu San remembered to instruct Liu Yixuan to stay away and not to follow him to the gate of the camp. When he turned around, Liu Yixuan had already disappeared!

"Huh? Niu Er, where is your relative?"
