Chapter 725
As a close confidant of Meng Yuan, Wu Gou is now a deputy general, and has received the rank of a sixth-grade general. However, his lieutenant general is no more than an ordinary lieutenant general, that is, a battalion officer whose rank is much higher than him, and he has to be polite when he sees him.
Because of this, Wu Gou's appearance in the camp of the former guard did not arouse anyone's suspicion, he was already ordered by Meng Yuan to inspect the camps, and it was normal to appear anywhere.
Wu Gou lowered his gaze and looked at the official road under the city wall.
The walls are lit with huge white oil-paper lanterns, and the light shines directly on the official road. However, the rain was so heavy that these rays of light could only illuminate a vague outline in front of the rain curtain.
Wu Gou glanced at the man.
That person was hidden among the soldiers on duty, and he was only wearing a felt coat, which was much worse than Wu Hook.
After all, he didn't suffer alone, Wu Gou grinned silently and smiled.
Tang Dao, who was hiding in the tree and was in charge of watching and monitoring, I don't know if it has become a soup chicken at this time, oh no, it should be called a soup bird. Wu Gou gloated again, and the corners of his grinning mouth bracketed outwards again.
Early this morning, the battalion officer they were watching sneaked into the woods, made a few marks on a crooked-necked tree, buried a note under the tree, and left.
Wu Gou divided his hands to stare at the man, and he stood by the crooked neck tree, and not long after, a soldier with a bow and arrow, a sword hanging from his waist, and an extremely ordinary appearance, ran over, dug out the note and read it, and swallowed it in his stomach.
Wu Gou originally thought that this person was going to deliver a letter, but who would have thought that after the soldier returned to the camp, he ran to change two shifts with others, and since the day, he has been guarding the wall.
It's just a matter of staying at the wall. But the man had three bows on him, one with two stones, one with three stones, and one with five stones.
Just looking at this person's posture of fiddling with bows and arrows, Wu Gou knew that this person must be a master of archery.
From that moment on, Wu Hook's heart has been raised in his throat.
The poisoned arrow in Meng Yuan's back. It was an ordinary Xiaoqi named Chen Xilai. That Chen Xilai is also a master of archery.
If it weren't for Meng Yuan's strict order not to act rashly, he would have arrested this person a long time ago. But Meng Yuan confessed. When there is news from Zhao Shujiang's side, when can they make a move.
Therefore, he could only stare at that person secretly, and did not dare to make the slightest move.
I kept thinking about it. Wu Gou stood at a different angle again, pretending to wipe the rain from his face. Press down the spring of the sleeve.
The torrential rain was pouring down, and the sound was like thunder, and the little noises he made were completely hidden in the sound of the rain, and the man did not hear it.
In fact. That person's full attention was focused on the official road ahead.
There, the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard.
Wu Gou's eyes narrowed slightly. The man had taken a step back, letting go of the soldiers in the middle. At the same time, the wrist flipped, and the sleeve was already aimed at the person.
Almost at the same time, the man took a step back, hiding himself in the shadow of the battlement, and then lifted a large felt cloth in front of him.
The bow and arrow could not be used through water, and the felt cloth was used to keep out the rain. At this moment, the man was already holding a bow and arrows, and the black and shiny arrows flickered in the shadows, moving little by little with the sound of the horse's hooves.
The sound of the hurried horse's hooves was getting closer and closer, and Wu Gou looked at it, but saw that in the silver line of rain, a figure of a rider gradually appeared.
The rain curtain was heavy, and the figure of the person on the horse was a little blurred, but the long and deep breathing of the person next to him became quiet at that moment.
"Who's up ahead?" The guards outside the wall shouted loudly, and the spears in their hands pointed forward.
The galloping horse gradually slowed down, and the figure of the rider on the horse slowly became clear.
The rider was a woman!
"The general is slow, and the people have important military reports." The woman's voice was hoarse, but her words were clear, and she reined in her horse as she spoke.
At this time, the woman was not far from the hole in the wall, she was soaked in the rain, she did not even wear a coat, her hair was stuck to her delicate face, her dress was all close to the body, and she was delicate, and she looked both wolf and a little seductive.
"Stop!" The guards were not confused by her appearance, and pointed their spears at the woman, and their tone was very stern: "This is the forbidden palace, and the common people are not allowed to approach!" ”
"The people's daughter Lu is the first to raise the daughter of the Houfu, and the people's daughter has an important military report!" Lu You's voice was very sharp, piercing the rumbling rain.
Her words succeeded in making the guards stunned.
Lu let out a long breath.
She knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, these soldiers would be careful. Even if she is the daughter of a criminal minister, she is also the daughter of a former noble and noble family, and with her status, these pawns will definitely report to their superiors.
If she comes, she and Meng Jiazaburo will finally meet.
At that moment, bright light shone on Lu You's face, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes flashed with a strange light.
She opened her mouth and tried her best to raise her voice to the highest: "The Han Dynasty has the remnants of the Nanshan Kingdom, and the brave ......"
"Poof"!
There was a muffled sound, and the high-pitched words were truncated.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked at it, but saw a feather arrow shot from nowhere, which was inserted into Lu You's throat at the moment, and the white feather of the arrow tail trembled to himself.
"This woman is the remnant of the rebel prince, and she should be punished quickly!" Wu Gou's solemn voice came from the battlements, and as he spoke, the sleeves in his hands had been withdrawn.
The Lu family and Fu Jun have always had a big feud, but Wu Gou knows it clearly.
As soon as Lu You opened his mouth to say the word "brave", Wu Gou knew that it was not good, but before he could make a move, the person had already released the bowstring and nailed Lu You's words to death in his throat.
If he came, Wu Gou would feel relieved.
No matter why that person shot Lu You, it was a really good kill.
"You did a good job, General Meng will definitely be rewarded." Wu Hook said to the man.
At this time, the man had already put away his momentum, touched his head and smiled innocently, "The mark is slippery, the mark is not daring......" He snorted, with an honest face, and lowered his head while speaking, as if he was frightened, and the bow and arrow in his hand were also thrown on the ground.
Wu Hook glanced at him lightly, and secretly made a gesture, ordering Tang Dao to continue to keep an eye on this person, and he himself stepped down the city wall.
With his orders in front, the guards obeyed as they could, and when they saw him coming down, they made a way.
Wu Gou slowly paced in front of Lu You.
Lu You was still sitting on his horse.
Her mount had been modified by Letu, and two rudimentary wooden frames were mounted in the saddle to hold her body in place and to compensate for the inconvenience of a broken leg, so that, even if she had been struck by a fatal arrow, she did not fall off her horse, but sat upright, with her hair disheveled, her face pale and her throat gushing with blood, like a terrible ghost.
