Chapter 145: Night Inn
The majestic and cold mansion was full of officials of all sizes in Lanzhou City, and everyone's expressions looked a little cramped and uneasy. An Shiqing stood up at this time, looked around towards the hall, and tried to use his intuition to find out the spy from it, or use his solemn expression to deter him.
An Shiqing glanced at the officials below and smiled contemptuously, "General Ben actually expected that there would be spies among us. At the end of last month, General Ben led 3,000 men and horses to patrol outside the city of Shanzhou, but was raided by the Dafan army, fortunately, I had already prepared for the second hand, and let my deputy general Su Million lead 5,000 troops to respond, otherwise this general would have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Since then, every time I send spies to Shanzhou City to inquire about the news, every time I go, there is no news, no trace, if it is not for my own people to know the truth Gaomi, then how can Dafan know what our secret agent looks like? And how can it never be returned? Unless......" An Shiqing said and showed a hideous smile, and the officials in the hall shuddered when they saw it.
Fang gradually felt that something was wrong, "So we really have a spy inside?" But what General An just said is a secret in the army, and I don't know as an assassin, how did this spy get close to you and get this news? ”
An Shiqing continued: "That's right, Lord Assassin Shi is a parent official, who only governs internal affairs, and does not ask about military affairs. ”
Lanzhou General Judge Wei Nuo also sat behind Fang Yanzhi, and when he heard General An say this, he also understood, "General An, do you mean that it is possible for a spy to serve in the army?" ”
Gao Yun also stood up at this time, pacing back and forth in front of the hall, while sneering: "That's right! In fact, we have already found out who this spy is, Ben Shuai will give him a chance to reflect today, as long as he is recruited from the truth, Ben Shuai will definitely deal with it lightly. ”
The officials in the hall listened dumbfounded, and it was obvious that everyone was a little caught off guard.
When the officials in the hall all retreated, it was almost time for lunch, but Fang gradually remained in the hall, and smiled at the marshal standing in the hall: "Marshal Gao has worked hard, the lower officials have prepared thin wine at home, and washed the dust for the marshal and the adults, and asked the marshal to go and rest his feet." ”
"Good!" Gao Yunqian said with a smile, "Since the history of the house stab is beautiful, it is better for this handsome to be respectful than to obey his fate, then I will bother with it." ”
"You're welcome!"
"Then Fang Thorn Shi will go and get busy first, I'll be there later."
Fang gradually gestured to the adults in the hall, "Ladies and gentlemen, then the lower official will leave first." The lower officials are waiting for you in the palace. ”
After watching Fang gradually walk out of the courtyard gate, Gao Yun looked at Lu Zuo beside him questioningly, "Big brother, did you say this trick worked?" ”
An Shiqing also asked curiously: "We are so scared, what if the spy escapes?" ”
Lu Zuo smiled disapprovingly, "Does my brother know that there is a kind of rat in the countryside, which specializes in eating the crops of old farmers in the fields?" ”
An Shiqing shook his head in confusion. Yin Ji had heard of it, and said casually: "Master, I know that this kind of rat is the most hateful, and the crops we have worked so hard to raise are all wasted by these rats. ”
"That's right, these rats are also very cunning, and the cunning rabbits have three holes, and the holes they make are intertwined and extend in all directions, and it is very difficult to catch these rats.
Gao Yun was even more puzzled, "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" Little brother really can't understand? ”
"Don't worry, listen to me first. In order to eliminate the rodent infestation, we farmers also came up with a solution, which is to find one of the rat holes, light dry firewood at the mouth of the hole, and then smoke it. ”
An Shiqing seemed to understand, "Oh! So I get the idea. What we use in this trick is to scare the grass and snakes, and we want to catch it! ”
Lu Zuo nodded knowingly, "I believe we will have something tomorrow!" ”
In autumn Lanzhou, compared to the day, it is really cold to the bone, coupled with such a night and heavy rain, wearing two clothes is already cold and shivering.
Outside the post house in Lanzhou, there is also wind and rain at this time, and the sound of rain on the eaves can be heard from time to time, as well as the cold wind whistling by.
In the second-floor building near the street, the candlelight is flickering, and the autumn wind carries raindrops into the low-open windows from time to time. A low, hoarse voice said, "You two go and close the doors and windows!" ”
But I heard two "squeaks", and the doors and windows were already closed. Three dark faces, sitting in the shadow of the dim lamp. A trembling hand held a pair of scissors to cut off the excess wick from the candle, and the originally dim room seemed to be much brighter. Zhang De threw the scissors in his hand on the table, faced the two old faces in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, "What do you say next?" ”
Li Keshou sat a little uncomfortable for a while because of his slightly fat body, leaned forward, folded his hands on the round table, gritted his teeth and said: "Just don't do it, let's escape from the city overnight!" ”
Xu Wuyou's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Li Keshou, "The city gates are closed, you should run!" In case you are caught, don't say that you have not committed treason, you will be treated as treason. ”
Zhang De frowned and bit his head, "Things may not be that simple!" ”
"Yes, I'm also strange, do you say that An Shiqing's guy really already knows who the spy is?" Xu Wuyou asked.
Zhang Dehu looked at the closed door suspiciously, Xu Wuyou and Li Keshou also looked at the door, the three of them held their breath at the same time, and suddenly there was silence in the room. Except for the autumn wind and the autumn rain outside the house, there was no other sound. Zhang De made a look at Li Keshou and motioned for him to go to the door to take a look, Li Keshou understood, and there was a trace of fear in his resolute eyes.
Li Keshou supported his hands, stood up with difficulty, turned around and walked towards the door, the door five steps away, was so far away at the moment, Li Keshou looked at his black shadow stretched by the candlelight, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, for fear that the moment the door opened, a group of officers and soldiers would rush into the house, capture themselves, or hack them to death. He glanced back at the two of them in fear, and they both stared at him with wide eyes, and Li Keshou was dressed and emboldened, and strode behind the door. Li Keshou's trembling hands, the moment he pressed the door latch, a terrifying voice came from outside the house, "Why is the night owl still sleeping during the day?" ”
A familiar code, the eyes of the three people in the room instantly lit up, Li Keshou's face was full of excitement, and he turned around and glanced at Zhang De and Xu Wuyou happily, Zhang De smiled and nodded to Li Keshou, signaling him to hurry up to the code. Li Ke understood this, and after clearing his throat, he replied in a low voice: "Because I have to go out to hunt at night!" ”
