A window on the third floor of a restaurant diagonally opposite the central axis of the Drum Tower opened a slit, and the two pairs of eyes looked at the Mafu mansion for a while, and then closed the window again.

"Are you all set up?" In a private room on the third floor of the restaurant, Yu Qian asked a burly and imposing man, "But what's the situation?" ”

The man clenched his fists and replied respectfully: "Back to Lord Yu, I secretly sent people to surround the Ma Mansion, and they are all keeping an eye on it!" Don't talk about people, even if you run out, only rats can't escape our eyes. He is Deng Zupeng, the commander of Changping Wei, and in the face of this boss, he naturally behaves very hard.

"Well," Yu Qian nodded, and suddenly asked, "Has Mrs. Ma returned home?" ”

"No," Deng Zupeng replied very simply, as if he knew what Yu Qian would ask next, and said in one breath: "Mr. Yang Qian has not sent any information back. ”

"Oh?" Yu Qian's brows furrowed deeply when he heard this. Sideways glance at the dark sky outside the window, it was already late, Mrs. Ma had not returned home, what was the idea? There is also Yang Muyun, who tiptoed Mrs. Ma out of the city, and there has been no response until now, isn't something wrong?

"Do you want to send some people out to inquire?" Deng Zupeng asked with some apprehension in his heart.

"No need," Yu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "The soldiers and horses of Huailaiwei and the town border guards have not yet arrived, and your people still guard Juyong Guancheng, so don't worry about other things." He understands Yang Muyun's skills, even if he encounters a change, it should not be difficult to get out.

"Lord Yu," Deng Zupeng said again: "It's been a whole day, and there has been no other movement in the Ma Mansion except for Mrs. Ma leaving the house in the morning, do you want to take someone in to take a look?" ”

"You want to raid Ma Chongtao's mansion?" Yu Qian's eyes stared at Deng Zupeng and said.

"Well, no...... No," Deng Zupeng squeezed out a smile unnaturally on his face, "I just think it's not a way to keep staring like this, it's better to go in and have a look." ”

"How?" Yu Qian's gaze became stern, "Ma Chongtao is still the commander of Yanqingwei appointed by the imperial court, if there is no conclusive evidence of illegality, even this official cannot casually lead troops into his private mansion." Accentuated tone, "Restrain your subordinates, if anyone dares to act rashly, I will only ask!" "At the end of the day, it's all about it.

"Yes, yes," Deng Zupeng was bluffed by him, "I must obey your orders." ”

————————————

......In the wooden cage, Yang Muyun said a series of Mongolian words, he remembered very well, although he couldn't understand what they were saying in Mongolian when he was in the big tent, but the tone of his speech was not far from ten, and at this moment, he was talking to Mo Buyu according to the gourd painting scoop, and winked at him after speaking, "What did you mean by saying this paragraph just now?" ”

Mo Buyu scratched his head, his eyes were very surprised, "Adults have a good memory, it's amazing to be able to memorize so many Mongolian words......"

"Less nonsense!" Yang Muyun's eyes widened, and he interrupted: "I asked you what you mean by this, why are you pulling some useless stuff for me?" ”

"Oh," said Mo Bu, "My lord, what you said in this passage is that the third group led by Agler has crossed the Longmen River, and will probably be able to arrive here tomorrow. ”

"Who is Agler? What third group of people? Yang Muyun was a little inexplicable.

"I don't know wow," Mo Buyu spread his hands, pursed his lips and said, "I'm just translating it literally, I don't know what it means." ”

"Well......" Yang Muyun fell into deep thought, since Norbudan added the account, when he talked to the man on the right, he called him Shabudan, but after saying a few words, the man stood up in fear, agreed again and again, and then hurriedly left the account. Judging from Totobuhua's rather unhappy face, it should be urging the man named Shabudan to do something.

His eyes looked out of the wooden cage, the sky gradually darkened, and the men in the strong suits outside began to be busy in twos and threes, as if they were preparing dinner for the evening. Judging from their relaxed expressions and happy faces, there should be nothing else to do in the evening except to eat and rest.

"They're altogether

How many people, have you counted? Yang Muyun said suddenly.

"Well," Mo Bu muttered, "I was blinded at the mention of counting...... They come and go, it looks like there must be hundreds of them, right? ”

"A few hundred people are in harmony with Ma Chongtao, it's a little less," Yang Muyun muttered, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to Mo Buyu, "So they are waiting for reinforcements, and when the reinforcements arrive, they can do it, and the third group of people led by Agre is their reinforcements." ”

Mo Buyu was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "If the adult thinks so, then it should be." ”

"Silent," Yang Muyun stared at him, "Do you know where Longmenchuan is?" ”

"Longmen River?" Mo Buyu thought for a while and said, "That's a river valley where the monolith water flows through Longmenwei in the north, and it's probably less than three hundred miles away from Juyongguan, right?" ”

"Less than three hundred miles?" Yang Muyun frowned, counting the difficulty of walking after the snow and avoiding the attention of the Ming military guards, it is already very expensive to be able to get here tomorrow. The Great Wall on the front line of Xuanda has not been fully built, and there are some gaps, which will indeed allow the Tartar rangers to infiltrate if the defense is not strict.

If you want not to attract the attention of the Ming border army, you can't infiltrate too many people, like the Urat cavalry that went straight to the city of Jingshi before was only about 5,000 people, and the third group of Agele people mentioned in the mouth of Totobuhua should not exceed this number, if this group of people can arrive normally tomorrow, then the action of conspiring with Ma Chongtao to take Juyongguan should be no later than tomorrow evening. Thinking of this, Yang Muyun's heart couldn't help but become nervous, now that Yu Qian can command only one soldier and horse of Changping Wei in Juyong Guancheng, if the balance of forces does not change tomorrow night, then Juyong Guancheng is in danger.

Instead of building a roaring bonfire like in the grassland, these warriors from the grasslands gathered together in three or four to dig a deep pit in the ground, and built a fire in the pit, on which they set up pots and kettles to cook food, so as to cover up the fire as much as possible to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed.

Yang Muyun shook the wooden pillars of the wooden cage with his hand, these wooden pillars were thicker than ordinary people's thighs, hard as iron, he tried all his strength and couldn't shake a single bit, he couldn't help sighing, the double-edged knife was not on his body, and there was almost no possibility of breaking the wooden pillar with his bare hands to get out of the cage.

"My lord," Mo Buyu said to his side, "I have seen it, this wooden cage is made of iron birch from the bitter cold land of the far north, this kind of wood is harder than steel, even your treasure knife may not be able to split, you still don't want to waste your efforts." ”

Yang Muyun looked up at the dark sky, and his heart sank, was he going to be trapped here?

......

In the dense forests in the mountains, more than 1,000 warriors in strong armor did not make any noisy sound when they had dinner, and there was no scene of singing on the grassland at all, which showed that they were well-trained and disciplined. They did not relax their care of Yang Muyun and the others at any time.

"Your Excellency, would you like to have something to eat?" Mo Buyu brought a large iron plate to Yang Muyun, which contained the food sent in by the other party, which looked good at first glance, a few baked brown dough cakes, as well as a few large pieces of beef jerky and a pot of hot soup.

Yang Muyun was so anxious that he was not in the mood to eat at all, so he reached out and pushed the iron plate, "I can't eat it, you go eat it!" ”

"Hmm......" Mo Buyu pursed his lips, sat down with an iron plate, and glanced at Yang Muyun worriedly, "My lord, then you're welcome." He grabbed a piece of bread and took a big bite, puffing out his cheeks and munching on it.

Yang Muyun leaned on the wooden railing, his eyes looked outside, and his thoughts kept turning: he was locked up here and couldn't go back, and he didn't know what the situation was in Juyongguan City. Did Lord Yu stabilize the Yanqing guards and horses? What happened to Lin Meier in Mafu, and is she in danger...... He had never felt a deeper sense of powerlessness than he did now.

Yang Muyun's heart was surging, and he suddenly shuddered, the nights in the mountains and forests in winter were extremely cold, especially sleeping in the wild, ordinary people couldn't stand it at all. He tightened the placket of his clothes, and suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, and when he was about to look over, several figures disappeared.

"Who?" He was shocked in his heart, if it was a subordinate who had escaped from the flowers, there was no need to dodge at all, could it be...... A glimmer of hope suddenly welled up in his heart.

It's late at night, mostly

The warriors in all the strongarms went into the tents to rest, and a few scattered around to stand on guard. The wooden cage couldn't hide the cold air at night, and Yang Muyun couldn't sleep. Mo Bu was silent but did not feel anything, he fell asleep after eating and drinking, and after a while, a thunderous snoring sounded in the wooden cage.

I don't know how long it took, Yang Muyun's eyes couldn't open, and his body shook and shook. At the dreamlike moment, I suddenly heard a "clang" iron chain in my ear, my body trembled, and I turned my head to open my hazy sleepy eyes.

The door of the wooden cage opened, and two figures stood outside, one of whom said to him, "Boy, we Khan want to see you, come out quickly." ”

"It's so late, you Great Khan want to see me?" Yang Muyun raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the night was like ink, at least it should be between the ugly time and the bad time. It's really rare to go to see people at this time. He didn't think much about it, he got out of the wooden cage in a daze, and the two of them walked forward with him one after the other.

Walking and walking, Yang Muyun suddenly felt that something was wrong, the road was getting more and more difficult to walk, and the surroundings were becoming more and more desolate. A cold wind blew, and he shivered, and his mind cleared up.

"Two," Yang Muyun asked, "Is this the wrong way, and the big tent where you live is not here?" ”

"No," said the man in front of him without replying, "the Great Khan's tent has been moved, and it is different from the arrangement in the daytime." The man said, quickening his pace.

"No......" Yang Muyun vaguely had an ominous feeling in his heart, and he stopped unconsciously. Just wanted to turn his body, "Whew-" A cold iron chain was under the hood, and then his throat tightened, he was a little out of breath, and he fell on his back.

With a cold glint in his eyes, the man in front of him turned around and slashed at him head-on with a long knife in his hand. He didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly turned over, and with a "dang-" sound, the blade slashed on the snow, causing the snow chips to splash wildly.

"They're trying to kill me." Yang Muyun's heartstrings tightened, and he rolled on the spot, wanting to tear off the iron chain around his neck, when suddenly a few cold lights flashed towards him, and he twisted his body, only to hear a "clanging" sound, and several sharp blades were all cut on the iron chain.

"They still have someone in ambush here," Yang Muyun's mind was confused, "Who is going to kill me, can't you sweat and get rid of it?" Then why didn't he do it during the day, and chose this late midnight...... "The surrounding figures swayed, and at least seven or eight people had already appeared.

I only heard a shout, as if he was greeting the person behind him, the iron chain in Yang Muyun's throat was tightened again, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, his body swung, he turned over in the air, and kicked his feet on the chest of the person behind him.

The man screamed, blood spurted from his mouth, and he fell backwards.

Yang Muyun's throat loosened, grabbed the iron chain in his hand, and threw it towards the person who rushed towards him.

"Smack-" The chain hit the man in the face accurately, and the man snorted wildly, covering his face and squatting down.

The rest of the people were not afraid at all, and they all brushed up their knives and slashed towards Yang Muyun.

The sounds of "zheng" and "ding" are endless, and sparks continue to emerge in the dark night.

These people make the knife quite orderly, all of them are equipped with martial arts, although they are not very high, but they all put on a desperate posture, which makes Yang Muyun quite unable to parry. And judging from the anger in their eyes, they all hate themselves to the extreme. Several of them are like crazy tigers, and they all use the same way of playing.

"What kind of hatred do they have against me?" The more Yang Muyun hit, the more frightened he became, "Why do you have such a deep hatred?" ”

"When-" Yang Muyun's iron chain wrapped around the blade in a person's hand, he pulled it hard, and the knife in the person's hand flew away, but the man didn't flinch at all, opened his arms and pounced on his waist and bit it hard.

Yang Muyun only felt a sharp pain in his waist, and in horror, he bent his elbow and sank down to smash the man's vest, and the one who spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, still holding on to Yang Muyun's feet and not letting go. Yang Muyun wanted to kick him away, but at this time, five or six knives slashed towards him from different directions, and in a hurry, he raised the iron chain to block it, "Ding Dong Dong-" The iron chain was broken in two, and his whole person was also carried backwards by the huge momentum.
