Chapter 39: Long Yuan's Surprise Attack on Canglong Pass (3)
Lao Hu stepped on his feet and said coldly: "Recently, there are some wanted criminals who have infiltrated Canglong Pass pretending to be caravans, are you wanted criminals?" ”
Lin Xiao hurriedly explained: "My lord misunderstood, we are businessmen in our duty, where will there be a wanted criminal." ”
The words are full of humility.
Lao Hu pushed Lin Xiao away, "Hmph, it's not up to you to decide." ”
"Brothers, search for me!"
Between words.
A dozen or so guards rushed up.
Rummaging through the wagons.
Qin Yuan and the others were a little nervous, clenching their fists, ready to make a move at any time.
After all.
There were many weapons hidden in the carriage.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency..."
"It's cold, please have a cup of hot tea brothers."
"We're really serious businessmen."
Lin Xiao hurriedly ran to Lao Hu's side and stuffed two more bags of silver into his sleeve.
This time, Lao Hu finally showed a satisfied smile.
He patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, "Hehe, brother, it's not that I deliberately embarrassed you. ”
"You also know that recently, the world has not been peaceful, and we are also routine."
"Since you're all right, let's get in."
Lao Hu waved his hand, and more than a dozen city guards who were looking through the goods all retreated.
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "It's an adult, it's really troublesome for an adult." We won't cause any trouble to adults. ”
Qin Yuan's clenched fists also loosened, and cold sweat broke out in his palms.
If he were to be himself, he really wouldn't be able to settle this old beard.
Then.
The gray-armored man walked out of the city gate and said to Lao Hu, "Lao Hu, I'll take them to the foot merchant station." ”
Lao Hu said: "Okay, then it's hard for you, at night, let's have a few fun." ”
The gray-armored man looked at Lin Xiao and said impatiently: "Come with me, the rules in the customs are very strict, don't move around at will, and hurry out of the customs when the time comes." ”
Lin Xiao responded to the gray-armored man and beckoned, "It's my lord." ”
"Quick, pull the carriage, let's go to customs."
Qin Yuan and his entourage, driving the carriage, followed behind the gray-armored man, and entered Canglong Pass.
Canglong Pass is different from the city, although there are many houses in it, there are no residents.
All the people who live here are Canglong Pass guards.
The conditions at the pass are often difficult and life is more boring.
There is no place to sell gold.
Not much.
The gray-armored man stopped in front of a dwelling, "You guys just stay here first, remember, don't come and go at will." ”
He said.
Secretly stuffed a strip of cloth into Lin Xiao's hand and left as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xiao held the strip of cloth tightly in his hand.
The group hurried into the house.
The house was large, but somewhat dilapidated, and the carriage was pulled into it.
Entering the house, one person stood guard on the roof, while the others hurriedly removed the goods from the wagon and took out the boxes containing weapons.
Qin Yuan and the others entered the house, and Lin Xiao gave him the strip of cloth, "Lord, this is what the person stuffed for me just now." ”
Qin Yuan took the strip of cloth and shook it.
"People are next door, and the day after tomorrow is ugly." There are only these eight words on the strip of cloth.
He tore off the back half of the cloth and threw it to Lin Xiao, "Tie it to the blood pigeon, and pass the letter to Lu Xun." ”
The blood pigeon is a carrier pigeon that Qin Yuan exchanged for merit from the Treasure Pavilion, and it is extremely practical.
It's a relatively convenient communication tool.
Lin Xiao responded, "Yes, lord." ”
Qin Yuan then turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, "Zilong, Wen Yuan, they are next door, you call them." ”
"Yes, my lord." After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he walked outside the house.
"Goo... Under the courtyard wall of the house, Zhao Yun learned to call birds.
Not much.
A figure turned over from next door, "Zilong, you're finally here." ”
This person is Zhang Liao, who was the first batch to enter the customs.
Followed by.
Three more people turned over, namely Chen Dao, Pan Feng and Ye Xuan.
"Let's go, the lord is waiting for us in the house." Zhao Yun said, beckoning them to walk towards the house.
"My lord."
"My lord."
Several people entered the house and saw Qin Yuan, and they saluted one after another.
Qin Yuan said: "No need to be polite. ”
"How's it going, have you figured out the situation?"
Zhang Liao said: "Back to the lord, I have figured it out." ”
"The street we were on, about a quarter of an hour's walk from the city gates."
"On the way, you will encounter three waves of patrols."
"There were about 300 guards, but they were very lax in their vigilance, and they all fell asleep after a while."
"We calculated that it would take half an hour to get from here to take the city gate."
"However, the speed of the defenders' support is fast."
"We can only resist for a quarter of an hour."
"If it takes a long time, we'll be in danger."
"The White Horse Camp is at its limit, and it takes a quarter of an hour to reach the city gate."
"So, our actions are not easy."
"The time must be accurate."
Listening to Zhang Liao's report, Qin Yuan understood that they had not waited in vain in the past two days, and had indeed worked hard.
"It doesn't matter."
"We only need to take the city gate, and Lu Feizhang will also find a way to delay the defenders."
Subsequently.
Several people discussed the details, and Zhang Liao took people to turn it back.
In the evening, there will be city guards to count the number of people.
Late at night.
The blood dove flew back.
Qin Yuan took off the strip of cloth on the leg of the blood pigeon, which was Lu Xun's reply.
The Long Yuan Army has already been fully equipped, and they will rush to attack Canglong Pass as soon as Qin Yuan and them make a move.
......
Day 3.
sub-hours.
Qin Yuan and his party counted the time and turned out of the foot merchant's house.
Fifty men, dressed in night clothes and holding short knives in their hands, touched the south gate.
Due to the large number of people and the size of the target, they split into two teams.
Qin Yuan's team was led by Chen Zhi.
The group just followed behind Chen Dao, walking cautiously, not daring to make any sound.
It was the first time Qin Yuan had done such a thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Less leaning.
Chen stopped in an alley and raised his right hand.
Suddenly.
Everyone crouched under the wall, their bodies pressed against the wall.
Moment.
A patrol marched through the street in front of the alley.
Trample... Trample... Trample...
Dead.
The sound of cloth boots stepping on the ground is clearly visible.
Looking at the patrols shuttling by, everyone held their breath.
Suddenly.
Zhao Bufan's nose was a little itchy, and he was about to make a sound.
Zhao Yun on the side hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and Zhao Bufan also closed his mouth tightly and held his breath.
He sneezed back the sneeze.
After the patrol left, Zhao Bufan looked at Qin Yuan with an apologetic look.
Qin Yuan patted him on the shoulder and signaled that it was okay.
Chen Zhi led the group and hurried through the street and disappeared into the darkness of another alley.
Not much.
The two teams converged in the house arranged by Lu Feizhang in advance, less than 500 meters away from the city gate.
Zhang Liao looked at Qin Yuan and said, "Lord, it's almost time." ”
They had to make the first move, and if the Longyuan army outside the city was discovered by the guards in the city and raised the alarm, it would be a failure.
