Chapter 372: Exploring Songjiang Mansion at Night
Like other cities in the Great Xuan Dynasty, Songjiang Mansion also has a towering city wall and four gates in the south, east and west, all of which are cast of fine iron.
Among them, the South Gate and the West Gate were the main offensive directions of the Jiuye Army, so these two places guarded the most soldiers, and the other two places were regular patrols.
This is the information that Pei Ding got from the scouts in the army, and according to his presence at the scene, the situation is generally the same.
Because the exit of the dense forest was on the west side of the Songjiang River, he decided to enter through the north gate.
Under the dim moonlight, they silently came to the north gate under the walls, ready to enter the city at the right time.
After everyone observed, they didn't want to be the first to speak.
"Wu Shao, I have seen it clearly, judging from the speed and direction of the soldiers' patrols, as long as we jump to the corner tower position within ten breaths, we can avoid the soldiers. ”
Ten breaths?
Pei Ding looked up at the corner tower, and quickly calculated whether he could do it, and the result was ......
sadly found that with his martial arts, it was impossible to jump up to the corner tower within ten breaths.
Both drunk and others were also silently calculating, and their expressions were inevitably a little depressed: to do this, it seems, it seems...... It's very hard.
"I carried Wushao in on my back, it was easy. What about you?" said Shower, who couldn't see anything on his unremarkable face.
Ji Drunk took a deep breath, covered his heart and said: "There are three of us who can barely do it, for the sake of safety, we have to make a sound and try to attract the attention of the guards." ”
Pei Ding touched his nose and did not express an opinion.
He has always been self-aware not to participate in this kind of topic related to physical fitness, and he has no objection to being carried into the city gate by a shower.
If it weren't for the fact that no one knew Ye Yong better than him, he wouldn't have had to make this trip.
"Then let's release the birds. My birds have been following. A thick-eyed guard said, patting the small birdcage on his waist.
The Pei family has a lot of birds, which are used for news, and this time Pei Ding went south, and the little birds he raised naturally followed.
It's just that Pei Ding thought that Ye Yong knew very well that the Pei family had many small birds, and he hadn't used these birds since he came to Jiangnan Province.
At the moment, you might as well use it.
So, in the eyes of the soldiers at the North Gate, at a certain moment in the middle of the night, a few birds flew over the city wall "fluttering" and making a crisp "chirping" sound.
Their eyes involuntarily looked at the birds, and they didn't realize that someone had already jumped up to the corner tower on the city wall.
As long as you go up to the corner tower, the rest of the things will be much easier.
Pei Ding and the others originally planned to slide down the city wall directly from the corner of the corner tower, but when they didn't want to, they heard the conversation of several soldiers in the corner tower when they were waiting for the opportunity.
"The Jiuye Army on the other side of the West Gate has attacked again, fortunately we have Lord Ye, otherwise Songjiang Mansion will ......," a soldier sighed, his heart palpitating.
Another soldier answered: "Yes, fortunately, there are adults. When will the imperial reinforcements arrive? I'm really worried that we won't be able to hold on. ”
Pei Ding's eyes flashed: A few days before they were stationed in Huzhou, Zhao Dajun had already sent scouts to Songjiang Mansion to report the news, why didn't these soldiers know?
"Alas, it's a pity that so many children of the Ye family can't even find a corpse, so they can only be buried in armor and clothes, it's too miserable. ”
Several of the soldiers sighed a few times, and then stopped talking.
Pei Ding waited for a while before he gave a glance at the shower, and the group of five quietly slid down the city wall.
When he disappeared, Pei Ding glanced back at the corner tower, and a thought lingered in his mind:
There are so many children of the Ye family, and they can't even find a corpse?
Pei Ding originally planned to go straight to the Songjiang Mansion, but after hearing these words, he changed his mind.
The Songjiang Mansion was not in a hurry to go, and it seemed that they had to spy on the news among the people and ordinary soldiers of Songjiang Mansion.
In the next two days, Pei Ding and his entourage were divided into four groups to inquire about news in various parts of the city.
Shower Yu was still by Pei Ding's side, he was very clear about his task, the little master asked him to protect the fifth young master, but he didn't come to investigate the news of Songjiang Mansion.
However, under Pei Ding's orders, he also took Pei Ding to several places, hiding to listen to the news.
When the news from all parties gathered, Pei Ding had a good grasp of the situation in Songjiang Mansion.
"Wu Shao, I went to the side of the Jiangnan Wei soldiers, and found that they really didn't know anything about the Jiuye Army before, they followed Ye Yong and retreated to Songjiang Mansion to survive, but the number was also very small. ”
When the turmoil broke out, some of the Jiangnan Guards stationed near Songjiang Mansion rushed to the battle and could only be defeated step by step, and in the end it was Ye Yong who reconciled them.
In addition to the Jiangnan Wei soldiers, the original government soldiers, government servants and young soldiers of Songjiang Mansion are also in this situation.
Another guard said: "Five young people, what the people talk about the most is that Ye Yong guarded Songjiang Mansion, and now the Ye family's prestige in Songjiang Mansion is unmatched. ”
As for the drunkenness of the final report, he looked a little strange, and took a deep breath before saying, "I went to dig the ancestral grave of the Ye family...... The newly buried children were indeed empty coffins. ”
He really didn't want to do it digging people's ancestral graves or something, but this was ordered by the Fifth Young Master, what else could he do? Of course he could only do it!
What those corner tower soldiers said was true, none of the children of the Ye family could recover the body.
At the end, the thick-eyed guard who had released the birds earlier said, "Five Shao, it sounds ...... The Ye family guarded the people of Songjiang Mansion, which is indeed a great achievement. ”
Pei Ding was silent for a while, looked in the direction of the Songjiang Mansion, and ordered: "Let's talk about these later, let's explore the Songjiang Mansion first." ”
Now, only the Songjiang Mansion is left without listening, it is the center of Songjiang Mansion, Ye Yong is in it, and the key to the Jiangnan battle is in it.
As soon as Pei Ding said this, everyone's expressions became solemn.
Songjiang Mansion, it must be heavily guarded, this trip is too dangerous, the son of the daughter can't sit down, and the five young people don't have to enter the government in person, right?
"Five less, it's better to be ......" was drunk and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Pei Ding.
"Showers took me into Songjiang Mansion, and you answered randomly. Pei Ding said.
Shower is Ah Heng's faction by his side, and his martial arts are strong, and he has full confidence in him.
Even if they are drunk, they may not be able to leave safely when they enter the Songjiang Mansion, but they will definitely be able to rain in a shower!
Facing Pei Ding's trusting gaze, Shower directly denied Sanlian: "No, no, no." ”
He didn't know what was in the Songjiang Mansion, so naturally he couldn't take the fifth young master to take the risk, if something happened to the fifth young master, he couldn't explain it to the little master.
"......" Pei Ding was speechless: Do you want to refuse so quickly?
Of course, no matter how Shower refuses, it is useless, Songjiang Mansion, he must enter
