Chapter 875 [Spy]
"No"
Le Jin led two hundred cavalry to the city of Lunshi County, and when he saw that the gate of the county was closed, Le Jin shouted to the city wall: "I am Yokono General Le Jin, open the city gate quickly." β
The voice fell, the gate of the county seat of Lunshi County was opened quickly, Le Jin drove into the county town with two hundred cavalry, and saw that the streets of the county town were empty, the ground was in a mess, and the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city still had a little fierce light, and a trace of doubt quickly appeared on his face.
"Stop" Le Jin suddenly reined in his horse and stopped in the opening of the city gate, and two hundred cavalry lined up behind him......
"Where is the prefectural order?" Le Jin turned his head suspiciously and asked a soldier guarding the city.
The soldier didn't speak, his eyes flickered, and finally under the gaze of Le Jinru's torch, he said slowly: "The county commander is in the county office......"
As soon as Le Jin heard the soldier's words, he immediately felt a kind of danger, because the soldier's accent was not local, he stabbed the soldier to death with a gun in his hand, and then killed the soldier on the other side, and shouted loudly: "Retreat, all the army retreat"
At this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly emerged in front of the door hole of the city gate, the first one was a silver helmet, silver armor, silver spear, white robe, white horse, white face, a pair of hot eyes shot out of an incomparably fierce light, the handsome and heroic face added a little majesty for no reason, and the cavalry behind him was all the same.
"The king of Lejin has been waiting for you for a long time" The person in front was Ma, he pointed forward the bright silver spear in his hand, and said loudly with a little confident smile on his face......
At the same time, Qian Hu led fifty cavalry out of the woods outside the city gate, and rushed with lightning speed, arrows flying. The spears stabbed indiscriminately, blocking Le Jin's retreating subordinates again, and the fifty cavalry seemed to fall from the sky, everyone was brave, and after a charge, they did not lose a single cavalryman. Stunned, the horses that appeared in the city blocked Lejin and more than 160 horsemen in the narrow doorway.
Le Jin saw that there were ambushes in front and behind, and there were only a hundred cavalry together, so he shook his spirits and loudly comforted his subordinates: "Stabilize me, don't mess up, whoever dares to mess up, will not be forgiven."
After the soldiers heard Le Jin's words, they immediately calmed down, and everyone did not dare to move at will. They all clenched the weapons in their hands, waiting for Lejin's new order.
Le Jin is strict in governing the army, and he is famous among the generals of the Wei State, he was born in the army, was accidentally appeared by Cao Cao, and was promoted to general, and the requirements for soldiers are very strict, so his subordinates are in the overall combat effectiveness. All of them are among the few in the Wei State......
Ma met Le Jin for the first time, and saw that there was no wave on Le Jin's resolute face. His words were like a stone sinking into the sea.
"Who are you?" Le Jin was sober-minded, and saw that the other party was only a hundred cavalry, although he knew that he should not be careless, but he was not afraid.
Ma laughed dryly twice and said, "This king is the king of Qin who was personally canonized by the emperor of the Han Dynasty."
"Horses?" After hearing this, Gu Bo's face showed a trace of great surprise.
"It's the king"
Le Jin frowned. But then he furled his brows, tightly clenched the spear in his hand, and said: "The King of Qin personally visited the Wei State, and as the general of the Wei State, I will not lose my share in personally welcoming the King of Qin." Since the King of Qin is here. Don't go, stay in Wei and be buried with the innocent people you killed."
"Just you?" Ma Wu fiddled with the spear in his hand, and there was a hint of sarcasm and contempt in his words.
The corners of Le Jin's mouth moved slightly, and a great fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Kill"
Under an order, Le Jin's subordinates were very tacitly divided into two parts, one part followed Le Jin to ride the horse forward, and rushed directly to the horse, and the other part rushed backwards.
Seeing this, Ma smiled and said, "If you want to die, then the king will fulfill you."
As soon as the words fell, the cavalry behind the horse did not have to wait for the horse's order, and rushed out directly, while the horse rode forward quickly, and killed the music in the face of Lejin.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, the horse and Lejin's subordinates rushed together, and the horses of the two armies collided, and those who rushed to the front immediately turned on their backs. However, it was only Lejin's subordinates who turned on their horses, and the horse's subordinates sat on the war horses as solid as a rock, and the spears came out of their hands and threw them at Lejin's subordinates, and then drew the saber that was bent into an arc at the waist to slash the enemy in close quarters......
"Zheng"
The spears of the horse and Le Jin collided together, and there was a crisp sound, and the barrel of the gun trembled slightly, which shocked the hands of both of them a little numb, and it can be seen that both of them used all their strength.
The two men had a short round, and in an instant, they both rushed into each other's crowd, and wherever the spears went, all those who stood in front of them fell off their horses.
When the two men turned their horses' heads, they each killed a clearing in the enemy formation, and each killed four or five people.
The blood poured like an infusion, gushing continuously, and in the doorway of the city gate, the blood flowed like a river, and the two sides only had one hedge, and they immediately divided the advantages and disadvantages. Ma's subordinates only lost more than ten people, seven or eight of them were killed by Lejin, while Lejin's subordinates had already lost fifty or sixty people.
Le Jin frowned, seeing that his carefully trained subordinates were so vulnerable, he couldn't help but secretly think: "I really didn't expect that the strength of the other party would be so strong, it seems that I underestimated them too much......"
The scuffle continued, and the screams still surrounded the doorway, and they couldn't disperse for a long time, however, Ma and Lejin didn't confront the enemy head-on because they were trapped in the enemy formation, and because the doorway was too narrow, they only cared about killing the soldiers around them.
After a quarter of an hour, the disparity became wider and wider, and there were only more than twenty people left around him among Le Jin's subordinates, while Ma's subordinates had more than seventy people, surrounding Le Jin in the center.
"Lejin, I know that you are a famous general of the Wei State, and there are not many of your subordinates left, if you kill yourself in front of me, I can consider letting your subordinates live." The horse's body was stained with a lot of blood, staining his silver armor red, and he looked at the surrounded Lejin, and shouted.
Le Jin has already noticed the current situation, but he has never been afraid of the strong, in his life dictionary. Only died in battle, did not kill himself, and did not surrender.
"Less nonsense, just let the horses come." Le Jin regained his energy and said.
Ma sneered and said, "It's not enough. So be it. I will fight with you alone, and if you defeat me, I will let all your men go, including you. β
"Come on" Le Jin didn't think about it, and agreed to it.
"Bold enough, a man." There was a hint of murderous intent in Ma's eyes and he praised.
"Master, kill chickens with a knife, let your subordinates come down. Happy to enter this person. is not the master's opponent, it is better to hand it over to his subordinates, so as to give the master prestige. Qian Hu said to the horse.
"Okay, you can go to the meeting and let the people of Wei see how strong my horse's subordinates are."
"No"
Qian Hu received the order, rode his horse and took a few steps forward, he clenched the scimitar in his hand. He looked at Le Jin with a hideous face, and said loudly: "Under the account of the King of Xiaqin, Hu Ben Zhonglang will be Qian Hu." I came to ask General Le for a good move."
Le Jin had already noticed this person, just now when his subordinates were about to kill out of the city gate, it was Qian Hu who led people to block the way, and killed his subordinates at will, like chopping melons and vegetables.
He clenched the spear in his hand, his heart filled with rage. didn't answer, and slapped the horse and took the money tiger directly.
Le Jin and Qian Hu instantly hedged together, and Le Jin's spear immediately stabbed out, only to see Qian Hu slightly sideways his body, dodging Le Jin's first attack. At the same time, the scimitar in his hand slashed out and slashed towards Le Jin's head.
"Zheng"
Seeing this, Le Jin hurriedly withdrew his spear, sidestepped Qian Hu's scimitar, and the two weapons collided, making a violent sound, echoing continuously in the door of the city gate.
In the blink of an eye, one round of competition between the two men was over, and the two men separated again, then reined in their horses, turned around and fought again, the second round, the third round...... The fight lasted until the tenth round, and the two men were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
"One of the horse's subordinates is so powerful, isn't that horse even more powerful?" Le Jin secretly shouted in his heart while shielding Qian Hu's attack with a spear......
As soon as Qian Hu's scimitar is shot, it is like an endless stormy wave, coupled with his amazing arm strength, every time he slashes out, his strength increases by one point, and he makes up for the lack of scimitar in defense with a fast attack.
The two people gradually scuffled together, the horses were spinning in place, but the people were struggling to fight on horseback, spears stabbed, scimitars were rounded, everyone used what they had learned all their lives, the moves were all killer moves, and the two people in the fierce fight were even more dangerous.
"Boom"
Qian Hu quickly slashed out three knives, cutting off the head, cutting the chest and lungs in the middle, and slashing the abdomen down, one move and three styles, all in one go.
"Dangdang Dang"
Le Jin is not a mediocre hand, the spear in his hand is handy, the gun is always in front of the rung, seeing that Qian Hu's moves suddenly became urgent, he immediately blocked it, and blocked Qian Hu's offensive after finishing it......
"Lejin is worthy of being a famous general of the Wei State, and his defense is so tight, it can be called a drop of water." Under Qian Hu's attack, he failed to cut Le Jin, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart.
There are no cold arrows, no cold guns, only the single fight of Le Jin and Qian Hu, whether it is Wei Jun or Ma's subordinates, they are all looking at Le Jin and Qian Hu in the battle circle, and no one will make a move when there is no winner or loser.
After more than a dozen clanging weapons colliding, Qian Hu and Le Jin couldn't fight, and the horse who was watching from the side, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and he hurriedly shouted: "Qian Hu, don't grind, hurry up and get Le Jin, leave ......."
Qian Hu heard the horse's cry and said, "Obey." β
Regained his spirit, Qian Hu's scimitar move changed again, and the offensive became faster again, and the onlookers could only see the cold light constantly flashing around Lejin, but they couldn't see where the entity of the scimitar was, as if there were more than a dozen scimitars attacking Lejin at the same time.
Le Jin couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Qian Hu's offensive suddenly become more rapid, only to see countless sword lights coming towards him like himself. He held a spear in his hand, and he was already at a loss to fight with Qian Hu at such a short distance, and the spear could not be used, although the marksmanship was exquisite, it could only be used to resist Qian Hu's attack.
Annoyed, Le Jin freed up a hand, and then pulled out the long sword in his waist, holding the gun in one hand and the long sword in the other, and immediately danced the long sword in his hand, using a sword net to cover his body, and the spear was improvised. Swift slammed forward......
"When"
A loud bang then sounded in Le Jin's ears, and the spear in his left hand suffered a huge brute force, the palm of his hand could not withstand it, the tiger's mouth was numb, and the spear fell off in an instant. It fell directly to the ground.
Le Jin was shocked, only to see a cold light flashing in front of him, and the long sword hurriedly went to block it, but the sword light disappeared instantly, and the scimitar in Qian Hu's hand was slashed from the right side.
"Ah......h
Blood splashed, screams began, and a blood red suddenly appeared on Le Jin's right cheek, and the blood flowed, staining the whole face.
After the horse looks. With a slight smile on his face, he shouted to his subordinates: "Kill them all, leave no one, and leave after killing......"
"Whoosh"
Before the horse could finish speaking, he heard the sound of an arrow breaking through the air behind him, and he was startled, and hurriedly leaned over the horse, but saw an arrow flying overhead. In a flash of lightning, he almost died under the arrow......
"Ah......h
The arrows did not stop. Shot directly into the body of one of the horse's subordinates, then the cavalry was pierced through the throat by an arrow, and died on the spot.
"Hugh is leaving"
Outside Lunshi County, Cao Hong held a big bow and galloped in a hurry, followed closely by five hundred tigers and leopards behind him. The sound of thunderous horses' hooves rushed to the ......
When the horse turned his head, he saw a large number of cavalry galloping outside the city of Lunshi County, and saw that one person was Cao Hong, who led the elite cavalry of Wei State, and the tiger and leopard riders were all horses, so he immediately made a decision. Shouted loudly: "Withdraw the whole army and retreat." β
As soon as Le Jin's face was injured, he was immediately at a disadvantage, but in the face of Qian Hu's attack, he blocked it quite tightly, and the sword net covered his whole body, no matter how fierce Qian Hu's attack was, he couldn't break his sword net. Among the generals of the Wei army, he is known for his defense, and his force is not first-class, but when it comes to defense, he is definitely the first-class among the first-class, although Qian Hu injured him, he could not kill him immediately.
Qian Hu was fighting Lejin with all his might, suddenly heard the shouts of horses, looked up and saw Cao Hong leading troops to kill outside Lunshi County, without saying a word, he immediately abandoned Lejin, turned around and ran into the city......
Ma Ze galloped wildly, seeing that Le Jin was not dead, his brows were furrowed, and he took out a scimitar from his waist and threw it directly at the back of Le Jin's heart.
Le Jin saw Qian Hu leaving, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt a sharp force behind him pressing towards him, he hurriedly turned his head, only to see a flash of cold light, and a sharp blade flew towards him. Frightened, he immediately blocked it with a long sword, and with a sound of "dang", the strength of the scimitar was weakened, and the blade deviated from the original track, and grazed from Le Jin's left arm, and a blood-red cut suddenly appeared.
Seeing that Le Jin had escaped again, the horse raised his spear and killed Le Jin, but as soon as the horse galloped two steps away, Le Jin's subordinates rushed up, and immediately blocked the horse's way, and the other two people escorted Le Jin to the edge of the door hole of the city gate, forming an impermeable human wall......
"The enemy general will leave, eat my Cao Hong's arrow" Cao Hong saw that Ma and the others were leaving, so he set up the arrow again, filled the bow and arrow, and shot the arrow.
The horse had already gone out of the doorway, and felt the arrows flying behind him, so he immediately gave up the idea of killing Lejin, supported the saddle with one hand, and his body made a 180-degree rotation on the horse's back, and the bright silver spear directly pushed away the arrows shot by Cao Hong, glared at Cao Hong, and laughed loudly: "Cao Hong will see you next time, this king will definitely take off your dog's head, and leave you a commemorative ...... this time."
"Whoosh"
An extremely thin flying knife flew out of the horse's hand in an instant, heading towards Cao Hong.
Cao Hong was taken aback, he didn't see how the horse made a move, he saw a swift cold light flying towards him, he hurriedly pulled out the long sword in his waist to cover it, but as soon as the long sword was mentioned in his chest, the cold light was already approaching his face......
He stared at his frightened eyes, instinctively turned his head to dodge, and was about to dodge, but he only felt a hot pain on his cheeks, and liquid seeped out, and the flying knife actually grazed his cheeks.
He gritted his teeth, held back the pain, and when he went to look at the horse again, he saw that the horse had already run towards the city with his men, and galloped out of the other gate along the main road in the city.
"Who is this person, and how capable he is?" Cao Hong saw that there was billowing smoke and dust on the official road, and he didn't dare to chase it anymore, for fear that the other party would lure the enemy deeper, so he ordered his subordinates to stop......
Turning over and dismounting, Cao Hong wiped the blood on his cheeks, walked straight to the injured Le Jin, and asked, "Wen Qian, are you okay?" β
"Extradermal wounds. It's not a big deal, if it weren't for General Cao's timely arrival, I'm afraid that I will be killed, and Wen Qian would like to thank General Cao for saving his life......"
"Wen Qian doesn't have to be like this, who is this person, and he is so capable?" Cao Hong immediately interrupted Le Jin's words and asked.
Le Jin said: "Qin Wang Ma"
"Horses? Is it the son of King Liang Ma Teng? Cao Hong said in surprise.
Lejin nodded. said: "General Cao, there are few horsemen, only one hundred cavalry, and now there are sixty or seventy horsemen left, please General Cao to pursue him, he will definitely be able to capture him alive."
After Cao Hong listened, he immediately dispelled his scruples, didn't say a word, and hurriedly turned over and got on the horse. shouted at the five hundred tiger and leopard riders he had brought with him: "Leave a hundred people to take care of General Le, and the rest will all follow me."
At the sound of an order, Cao Hong chased the horse with 400 tigers and leopards.
The horse took Qian Hu and the seventy elite horses and galloped out of the county seat of Lunshi and headed towards Xuanyuan Pass.
After galloping forward for less than five miles, Qian Hu said: "Master, our number is too small, we should leave the Wei State quickly, otherwise we will inevitably be surrounded by the Wei army." β
The horse nodded. said: "Go to Chenjiazhuang outside Xuanyuan Pass and change into Wei army clothes." After walking from Xuanyuan Pass and returning to Hangu Pass, this king will inevitably personally lead a large army to attack Wei and avenge his dead brothers."
"Revenge, revenge, revenge," Qian Hu and Ma's subordinates all shouted together.
The horse and the cavalry advanced non-stop in front, and the cavalry rode Xiliang horses with strong endurance under the seats, running like the wind, and soon galloped out of the territory of Lunshi County.
Cao Hong took four hundred tigers and leopards to chase along the horses' hoof prints left along the way. However, the endurance of the horses under the seat is not very strong, and the more they chase, the greater the gap, and after a day of hard pursuit, at sunset, the horses can no longer carry it. Many of the tigers and leopards rode on their horses and fell on the side of the road from exhaustion.
"The subordinates of the general's horse are all high-quality Xiliang horses, and their endurance is extremely strong, and if they chase after them like this, they are afraid that they will ......"
"The whole army rests in place" Cao Hong interrupted the words of the lieutenant under his account, and immediately ordered, "Quickly contact the scouts nearby, let them go to Xuanyuan Pass, and inform the guards that without the order of the general, don't let anyone go." β
"No"
The horse took Qian Hu and seventy elite horses, dressed up in disguise, and became an elite tiger and leopard horseman, and galloped quickly to Xuanyuan Pass.
"Quickly open the gate, my general is ordered to go out" Qian Hu rode forward, came to the city gate of Xuanyuan Pass, and shouted loudly in the accent of the Central Plains.
On the Xuanyuan Pass, the guards saw the tiger and leopard riding under the pass, and immediately became very frightened, and they didn't dare to have the slightest neglect, and immediately went to report to the guards.
Xuanyuan Pass will be Lejin, at this time Lejin is still in Lunshi County, leaving the deputy general Lei Bo to guard the pass.
Lei Bo was originally a general of Yuan Shu, and when Cao Cao attacked the Song State, the brothers Lei Bo and Lei Xu could not resist the offensive of the Wei army and were forced to surrender. After the surrender, Lei Bo and Lei Xu were transferred to Lejin as generals and have been stationed at Xuanyuan Pass.
In the Guancheng of Xuanyuan Pass, Lei Bo and Lei Xu were sitting opposite each other drinking, and the two of them were living freely and carefree......
"Newspaperβ"
"Why are you so flustered?" Lei Bo picked up a bowl of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and asked.
The soldier said: "There are tigers and leopards riding outside the pass, saying that they are ordered to go out of the pass, and the two generals are invited to decide." β
"Tiger and leopard riding?" Lei Xu was taken aback, he knew that the tiger and leopard rode well, when Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu, he and Lei Bo led the army to resist Cao Cao, but they suffered the loss of the tiger and leopard ride, and finally were surrounded and forced to surrender to Cao Cao.
"The tiger and leopard rider is the elite of our army, and the people who lead the tiger and leopard ride are all the king's relatives, since the tiger and leopard are here, then the person who leads the tiger and leopard ride must be the king's family, and we must go to meet it in person." Lei Bo said.
"Well, what the eldest brother said is right, now our identity is a general, and our status in the Wei State is low, no one can offend......" Lei Xu said helplessly, "Big brother, let's go out of the city and take a look"
Lei Bo put down his wine glass, put down his uniform, and then put on his whole body with Lei Xu, and went to the wall of Guancheng......
The two of them glanced at the pass, and saw that there were seventy-two horsemen under the pass, one of them in silver helmet and silver armor, with a handsome and white face, and the two looked at each other, but they were both a little puzzled, because they had never seen this person.
"Wu Na guard, when you see this son, don't you get off the pass?" When Ma saw that the guards of Xuanyuan Pass, Lei Bo and Lei Xu, came out, he immediately shouted.
Xuanyuan closed, Lei Bo frowned, and said to Lei Xu: "This person claims to be the son, could it be the king's son?" β
"Most likely, we have all seen the generals of the Tiger and Par Riders. Cao Hong, Cao Chun, and Cao Xiu are all generals of our army, and I heard that Cao Ang, the eldest son of the king, has also been included in the tiger and leopard cavalry recently, serving as a tun commander, could it be that this person is the eldest prince Cao Ang? Lei Xuhu said suspiciously......
Lei Bo said: "No matter who it is, we can't slack off, after all, we are all the prince's family." β
"Big brother. Let's go down and greet the eldest son. β
"Yes"
Lei Bo and Lei Xu had already made a decision, so they quickly ordered someone to open the gate, and the two walked to the front of the gate and greeted the horse in person.
"The last general Lei Bo, Lei Xu, I have seen the eldest son" Lei Bo and Lei Xu said.
Ma secretly infiltrated the Wei State, and he had already known the Wei State very clearly, so this time he pretended to be Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and asked his subordinates to pretend to be tigers and leopards. It was originally in his plan......
"The two generals are exempt, I am ordered by my father to go out of the customs to the old capital of Luoyang, and I also ask the two generals to make it convenient." The horse was already arrogant, and at this time, it was even more obvious to be powerful and blessed, and the appearance of a big prince was vividly interpreted.
Lei Xu asked, "I don't know if the eldest prince has a token to get out of the customs......
Lei Bo suddenly stopped Lei Xu, hurriedly grabbed Lei Xu's hand, and said to the horse with a smile: "The eldest prince came from afar. It's better to rest in the customs for a day or two, and then it's not too late to get out of the customs. The last general is also good to entertain the eldest prince. β
"No need, what's so good about Xuanyuan Pass? It's all for Ben Gongzi to get out of the way, and Ben Gongzi wants to get out. "The momentum of the horse is strong and gives an irresistible posture......
"No" Lei Bo took the initiative to pull Lei Xu, get out of the way, and said to his subordinates. "Get out of the way, send the eldest prince out of the customs."
The guards of Xuanyuan Pass were all Lei Bo and Lei Xu's old troops, and when they heard Lei Bo's words, they immediately got out of the way.
Ma Lidu Ermi paid attention to Lei Bo and Lei Xu, and raised the whip. A whip was whipped on Lei Bo's armor, and he scolded: "Even if you know each other, Cao Hong will follow after a while, I am playing with Uncle Cao Hong, he wants to compete with me, if Cao Hong asks, you will say that you have not seen this king, understand?" β
Lei Bo and Lei Xu said: "No, the last general understands." β
As soon as the words fell, Ma took Qian Hu and left Xuanyuan Pass quickly, and left without stopping.
When Lei Xu saw that the horse was gone, he asked, "Big brother, just now I asked the eldest prince for a customs token, why did the eldest brother stop me?" β
"Nonsense, you know that he is the eldest prince, what token do you need? The people of the Cao family, none of us can afford to offend, and if we anger the eldest prince, you and I can't eat and walk around......"
Lei Xu let out an "oh" and said, "It's still the eldest brother who is smart, but the eldest prince didn't expect to be so handsome, and he and the king are like two people." β
"Uh...... You don't say that I don't show up, but when you say this, I really have a trace of abnormality, the king looks obscene, but the appearance of the eldest prince is extremely handsome, isn't the eldest prince not the king's own child, it's ......"
"Hehe, big brother, this is very likely. Cao Cao is lustful, maybe Cao Ang is a cuckold that someone else put on him......"
"Shhhhh......h
"Big brother is right......
"Lei Bo, Lei Xu takes the order" A fast horse carrying a scout galloped over, and the scout shouted loudly after seeing Lei Bo and Lei Xu......
When Lei Bo and Lei Xu saw the scout, and saw that the scout was wearing the waist card of the tiger and leopard riding, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Lei Bo and Lei Xu listen to the order"
"General Cao Hong has an order, ordering you and the other two to guard the Xuanyuan Pass, without General Cao's order, no one is allowed to leave the pass, and those who violate the order will be beheaded and will not be pardoned."
Lei Bo and Lei Xu looked at each other, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they both thought in their hearts: "But you must not let Cao Hong know that the eldest prince has passed......
As soon as the scout gave the order, he galloped back......
Lei Bo and Lei Xu saw that the scout was gone, and they both breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to the subordinates behind them: "If anyone says that the eldest prince has passed from here, he will not be forgiven."
"No"
β¦β¦
Thirty miles outside Yangzhai City, Lin Nan, Gan Ning, Zhen Mi and others marched north along Yingshui, unimpeded along the way, and at the same time they were constantly inquiring about the surrounding news, and after learning that the mysterious team was burning, killing and looting in the territory of Wei, and acting recklessly, they did not speak.
The group stayed by the Yingshui River again because of fatigue, Lin Nan called Gan Ning to his side and said to Gan Ning: "This place is very close to Yangzhai City, Yangzhai City is the county seat of Yingchuan, the closer it is to Yangzhai City." The more you have to pay attention, Xu Shu is not an ordinary person, if it arouses suspicion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out......"
"What does the master mean ......," Gan Ning leaned over.
"Xu Shu has seen me, you have to disguise yourself, you go get some clothes."
"No."
Gan Ning found some clothes from the entourage of the Zhen Mansion. Let Lin Nan put it on.
Lin Nan cut off a few strands of hair, made a beard, pasted it on, and seemed to be much more mature, and also made an eye patch, and made himself look hunchbacked.
Gan Ning glanced at Lin Nan in disguise, he couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't recognize Lin Nan at all, not only did he hide some of Lin Nan's unique aura. It's also hard to recognize......
"The host...... Master, you are ......."
"Hehe, you don't recognize me, do you? That's what I want......"
"Gotta ......"
A fast horse galloped from the front, and on the back of the horse was a middle-aged man, who was dressed luxuriously, and when he saw a group of people staying by the river, he slowed down, but his eyes kept looking at everyone in the team.
When the man's eyes saw Gan Ning, he released a glimmer of brilliance. immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked straight towards Gan Ning.
Gan Ning appeared from the middle-aged man. He immediately became alert, his hand pressed a steel knife on his waist, his eyes were like torches, and he subconsciously blocked Lin Nan's body.
Lin Nan hunched his back and saw the man gradually coming over, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Opened Gan Ning with his arm, and said to himself: "It's finally here......"
"Bian Xi has seen the master." The man walked straight to Lin Nan's side, recognized Lin Nan at a glance, and leaned down to worship.
Lin Nan was no longer hunched over and stood up straight. He grabbed Bian Xi's hand and asked, "You came at the right time, after a year or two, are you okay in Wei State?" β
Bian Xi nodded and said, "Master, everything is very good, and it's very good." Recently, I heard that the master had gone to Wu, so I asked someone to inquire about the news and sent his cronies to intercept the merchant ship at sea, so that he knew the master's whereabouts. It just so happened that Yingchuan had been attacked by unknown in the past few days, and I thought it was the master, so I rushed all the way from Changyi......"
"You're Bian Xi?" Gan Ning had never seen Bian Xi, and at this time, he saw Bian Xi dressed luxuriously, with a red face, who seemed to be an extremely wealthy person, and the jade wrench he was wearing alone was worth a lot, so he couldn't help asking.
Bian Xi nodded and said with a smile: "General Gan doesn't know me, I went to get to know General Gan, General Lao Gan took care of the master along the way, and General Gan worked hard." β
"It's my duty to protect my master," Gan Ning said proudly.
Lin Nan smiled and said, "This is not a place for small talk, I don't know if you have any place to stay?" β
"Of course, master, please come with me, let's go to Yangzhai City to rest."
"Yang Zhai City? Isn't that a county town? Are you going to put your master in trouble? Gan Ning said.
Lin Nan trusted Bian Xi very much, and immediately said to Gan Ning: "Bian Xi won't harm me, the most dangerous place is the safest place, let's go to Yangzhai City." β
After hearing this, Bian Xi was very moved, and immediately said to Lin Nan: "Thank you for your trust."
Bian Xi took Lin Nan, Gan Ning, Zhen Mi and other people straight to Yangzhai City, and the soldiers guarding the city saw Bian Xi in front, and they all bowed respectfully to Bian Xi, and did not dare to stop them, and directly let Lin Nan and others enter the city.
After entering the city, Bian Xi arranged Lin Nan and others in a large courtyard on the north side of Yangzhai City, which was considered to have a place to stay.
In the hall, Lin Nan, Gan Ning, and Bian Xi gathered together, while Zhen Mi and others were tired from the fatigue of the carriage and horses, so they rested early.
The shadows of the trees moved on the carpet, and the smoke of a good incense in the big xuan furnace continued to rise. The wall coat on the east side is bathed in the sun's rays, and the gold and splendid scenery attached to it reflect the dazzling brilliance. There is a painting of ink dragon hanging in the middle hall, and the elephant with teeth and claws is about to fly down. On the west wall is a landscape painting, the kind of soft and soft brushstrokes, which want to protrude from the silk surface, which is unforgettable......
Lin Nan looked at the ingenious decoration in the hall, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and praised: "You are really comfortable, it seems that you are doing quite well in Wei Kingdom." β
Bian Xi laughed dryly twice, and immediately said: "Master, this is also caused by coincidence, in Wei State, his subordinates are not called Bian Xi, they are called Bian You, and they are currently the captain of Wei State." β
After Gan Ning heard this, he asked, "What is the position of Captain Touching Jin?" β
Lin Nan explained: "Captain Touching Jin is a person who specializes in tomb robbing. β
Captain Touching Jin is an ancient military title, which was first set up by Cao Cao, and in layman's terms, it is the director of the National Tomb Robbery Office...... Specialized in digging graves and stealing property to pay for military salaries, and later mostly referred to tomb robbers.
The captains of the Golden Colonels worked, each wearing amulets made of the claws of pangolins, and whenever the tomb was dug up, a candle was lit in the underground palace of the tomb and placed in the southeast corner.
Then open the coffin and touch the gold, the most valuable things of the deceased are often carried on the body, some tomb owners above the princely level, are all with beads in their mouths, covered with gold and jade, and there is a heart jade on their chests, and they have jade Ruyi in their hands, and even gems are stuffed in their anuses.
At this time, do not damage the remains of the deceased, lightly touch from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, and finally leave one or two treasures for the deceased, in between, if the candle in the southeast corner is extinguished, you must put back the property in your hand as it is, respectfully kowtow three heads, and return the way it came...... The scientific rationale for this is to prevent bad air in the tomb, and to ensure that people are not poisoned by bad air when the candle is extinguished and exited from the tomb.
Because legend has it that there are ghosts in some tombs, as for why these ghosts do not enter the reincarnation and have remained in the tombs for thousands of years, it is difficult to say, it is likely that they are reluctant to live for glory and wealth, and after death, they still stare at their treasures every day.
"Tomb robbing? How did Brother Bian do this kind of thing? Could it be Cao Cao, he ......," Gan Ning asked suspiciously.
"Yes, this official is indeed set up by Cao Cao, and I am currently serving as it, and I have another identity, that is, Cao Cao's brother-in-law." Bian Xidao......
As soon as these words came out, Lin Nan and Gan Ning were shocked, and asked at the same time: "Are you Cao Cao's brother-in-law?" β
Bian Xi nodded, looked at Lin Nan and Gan Ning's surprised faces, and said, "What I said is true, this matter has to start from the beginning......
Lin Nan and Gan sat there quietly, listening to the story told by Bian Xi, listening to it with relish.
It turned out that Bian Xi was secretly sent to Wei by Lin Nan two years ago to do intelligence gathering work, and by chance he rescued a woman, who actually had the same surname as him, called Bian Linglong.
Bian Linglong was born in a family, because of the war, both parents died, so he lived in the rivers and lakes, originally wanted to find a place to live, how did he know that he met a bandit...... At that time, Bian Xi passed by there, so he beat away the bandits and saved Bian Linglong.
Bian Xi saw that Bian Linglong was quite attractive, so he took Bian Linglong in and took Bian Linglong directly to Changyi. Later, he heard in Changyi that Cao Cao's wife Ding could not have children, so he gave birth to a plan in his heart, so he took the initiative to give Bian Linglong to Cao Cao, Cao Cao fell in love at first sight, and accepted Bian Linglong as a concubine.
Bian Linglong was grateful to Bian Xi for saving his life, so he recognized him as his brother and followed Cao Cao from then on. Bian Xi and Cao Cao have met once or twice, in order not to arouse Cao Cao's vigilance, he said that his name is Bian You, and said that Bian Xi is his cousin, and his appearance is very normal, plus Bian Linglong blows the wind on the pillow, Cao Cao gradually eliminated his suspicion of Bian Xi......
Bian Xi knew that Cao Cao was suspicious, and in order to completely dispel Cao Cao's concerns about himself, he resumed his theft and gave Cao Cao a lot of gold. At that time, Cao Cao was at war with the Song army and lacked money and food, and Bian Xi's gold was like charcoal in the snow, which gave Cao Cao a great help.
Cao Cao dispelled his suspicions about Bian Xi, and appointed Bian Xi as the captain of the Golden Colonel to dig tombs in various parts of the Wei State, and Bian Xi naturally became Cao Cao's trusted brother-in-law.
When Bian Xi finished telling about his two years in Wei, Lin Nan and Gan Ning felt incredible after hearing it, and they didn't expect Bian Xi to become Cao Cao's trusted figure. (To be continued......)
