Chapter 211: No one
Xia Chen reluctantly settled down: "General, what about the person who sent the things?" ”
Li Ze hurriedly called a goalkeeper to check. After a while, the gate came to report: "The car that the general said has left the east gate."
Li Zechong kept looking at Xia Chen, who was in a daze, and said softly: "General Xia, is this person very important to you?" Do you want me to send someone to chase her back? ”
"No need, there is General Lao." There are more important things to do now, she bowed to Li Zeyi and left the study.
Only then did the goalkeeper remember another thing: "General, there are a man and a woman in the carriage you asked me to find." ”
Li Ze was stunned: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" How old are the men and women, and what do they look like? ”
The goalkeeper hurriedly said: "It is said that they are all young, the men are handsome and the eyebrows are long, and the women are beautiful and dignified and white-skinned. ”
Li Ze nodded: "Immediately send a fast horse along the road to inquire about their whereabouts." ”
"Yes."
Xia Chen put this golden silk armor in the black clothes, not only did he feel stuffy, but he felt a little cool. Thinking of sleeping with Wei Han in the mountain hut that night, he once said that this silk armor was woven with ice silk and gold silk to be warm in winter and cool in summer.
At this time, Hongzheng, who had already found his shirt and clothes, pushed the door in: "General, didn't you say that you left in the middle of the night, why did you advance it?" ”
"The situation has changed somewhat, and we must block the progress of the Xuan Army as much as possible."
Hongzheng grinned: "It's the same for me, if it weren't for the merchant boy who stopped me, I would have done it a long time ago." By the way, Shang Gongzi ......"
Xia Chen motioned for the red kite to silence her ear and whispered, "I told him that tonight's operation was canceled." ”
Red Kite nodded: "That's very good." ”
The two of them took advantage of the darkness to leave the city and walk along the avenue all the way to the northwest. Although it was night, there was no coolness, and the wind gusted with it, and the air was unusually humid. Xia Chen glanced at the hazy moonlight in the thin clouds: "It seems to be raining." ”
"yes. However, the clouds are not thick, and it will not rain too much. ”
Xia Chen said: "It should not be far from the camp of the Xuan Army, be careful." ”
Sure enough, after walking another four or five miles, I saw a glimmer of light in the distance. Xia Chen slowed down: "If we go again, I'm afraid that some soldiers patrolling the camp will find out, so let's find a place to hide the horse, and then sneak over from the side of the road." ”
"Hmm."
The moon was fainter, but the fire in the camp was getting brighter. Xia Chen jumped up on a tree and jumped down: "The camp of the King of Hai is on the right, there are many guards, let's go around." ”
"Hmm."
In the middle of summer, the trees on both sides of the road are luxuriant. Wild grass grows in the tree belt and the drainage ditch between the fields. Although the camp of the Xuan army stretched all the way to Tian Mo, it was still extremely long longitudinally.
Based on Xia Chen's understanding of the King of Hailing, even if it was a temporary camp for him, the imperial tent must be very spacious and comfortable, so she judged that the tent that was four or five times larger than the ordinary military tent was the imperial tent of the King of Hailing.
There were patrols around the camp, and teams of six or eight with torches in their hands. It took Xia Chen and Hongzheng about half an hour to finally approach the camp. At this moment, another group passed not far ahead of them. The two of them hurriedly bent down.
When the group passed, Hongzheng whispered: "General, the defense is too tight. "Waves of patrolling people are almost looking at each other, and it's almost impossible to get into the camp without being detected.
Xia Chen looked up at the sky, the clouds were getting denser and denser, the moon was completely obscured, and the grass and trees were rustling in the wind, as if indicating that the mountain rain was coming. Another team of people passed, and she took out the Wind God Slash with her backhand: "God help me!" Saying that, concentrating on luck and casting a gesture to call the wind and rain.
Within a radius of more than a mile, the wind suddenly rose, mixed with scattered raindrops. There was a shout from inside the Xuanjun camp: "It's going to rain, light the wind lantern." ”
The torches in the hands of the patrolling soldiers were blown on and off. Alternately entering the camp to change the wind lanterns. Xia Chen kept whispering to the red kite: "It's now." ”
The two of them quickly walked through the patrol belt to a normal tent on the edge of the camp, leaning against the backlit face and waiting for a group of patrol soldiers to pass and sneak into the tent.
There was no one in the tent, and in the middle of the tent was a horse lamp hung from a hemp rope, and a few pieces of felt were laid on the ground, apparently for the soldiers on patrol to rest.
Xia Chen and Hongzheng had just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard a sound of footsteps. Then the curtain was lifted, and two soldiers entered.
The soldier who walked forward scolded: "His grandmother's, it's finally a shift change!" ”
The soldier behind sighed: "Say that the wind is the rain, what the hell is the weather!" I'm covered in eczema. It's still Xuanguo, it's good wow. ”
The soldier in front of him suddenly found a knife on his neck, and just as he wanted to shout, he felt the blade sink into the flesh, and swallowed the sound back with two gurgles in his throat.
Xia Chen said in a low voice: "If you dare to shout, let your head move." ”
Hongzheng was not polite at all, he had already solved the soldiers behind him with a sword, the soldier's throat was cut along with the artery in the neck, blood sprayed out from two deep blood mouths, and a bloody breath instantly spread in the tent.
Although the soldiers under Xia Chen's knife didn't look back, they knew what was happening, and their legs fell limp and fell to their knees. "Spare your life!"
Hongzheng came over and whispered in his ear: "If you want to live, tell me if your emperor is in that big tent with a yellow roof." ”
"Yes."
Xia Chen bent down: "How many shadow guards did he bring?" ”
"A dozen!"
"In his tent?"
"No, no, there is no one in the imperial tent, and the four of them take turns guarding outside the tent." As soon as the soldier said this, he was slapped on the back of the head by Xia Chen and knocked unconscious.
Red Kite snorted, "He should be killed!" ”
Xia Chen stared at the red zither sternly: "Wait a minute, you use your bow and arrow to lure away the guards from the place I just mentioned, remember to run into the field behind immediately after releasing an arrow, no matter what happens, don't stop and don't come back." ”
"General!" Red Kite kept shaking his head.
Xia Chen patted her on the shoulder: "There is only one way!" I think they'll soon find out they've tricked the tiger out of the mountains, and you'll get out of their tracks and back to where we're hiding your horses. Speaking of this, she paused slightly: "If Xue Yan is still handing it over to my second uncle, if it is not there, it means that I have returned to Anyang, and you will go back immediately." ”
Hongzheng still wanted to argue but was covered by Xia Chen, looking at Xia Chen's determined eyes and nodded.
"Fight quickly before these two are discovered!" Xia Chen said as he swept to the side of the tent door and opened a crack to look outside.
At this time, a light rain was falling in the sky, and the torches in the camp were replaced by wind lights, which was much darker, which was very beneficial to them.
Seeing the opportunity, she beckoned to the red kite: "Go." ”
A moment later, a sudden shout came from the camp: "There are assassins." ”
"Ran over there! Pursue! ”
"Chase!"
Xia Chen saw that the people on the side of the emperor's tent had chased out, and flashed out from behind a military tent on the side, and split the curtain with a knife and plundered into the tent.
"Protect the Emperor." There was a shout from outside, followed by footsteps.
Xia Chen had already used all her internal strength to slash into the couch, and a green blade qi split the veil and the wooden couch in half, and she flew into the veil almost at the same time.
No one! There was not a single man in the curtains! Her heart sank suddenly, and without thinking, she swung her knife and slashed open the curtain in front of her. (To be continued......)
