Chapter 43: Conspiracy between the scenes

Pingcheng in the clouds, the key to the lock of the north.

Although the Six Towns have rebelled for many years, they still can't be attacked for a long time, and they must be high and deep, but what is actually displayed in front of Yang Ying's eyes is not such a military fortress as he imagined.

On the contrary, the scene I actually witnessed felt that the city was more like a mixed bazaar.

In addition to the Han people, the Xianbei people, the Huns, the Turks, the Tiele people, the Gaochang people, and the Gaoche people who wore all kinds of strange costumes came and went. The buildings are not like Luoyang's east, west, north and south, square and straight, but left and right, up and down, the rooms are round and square, the alleys are straight and oblique, the streets are wide and narrow, there are shouts everywhere, there is cooking smoke everywhere, and the merchants, thieves and beggars are all mixed in the crowd.

"Liu Ye, do you know where the master is?" Da Xibing led the horse and walked in the front.

"Today is the day of the changing of the guard, and the master should have returned to the mansion."

"Oh? Really? Then I need to go home, and you send Yang Ying and his brother back to the barracks first. ”

"Barracks?" Yang Ying was very strange when she heard this, maybe she didn't want to be separated from Da Xibing. "Didn't you say you wanted to go back to the secret maneuvering headquarters with me?"

"Nerd, the headquarters of the secret maneuver is in the barracks." Da Xibing turned his head and stared at Yang Ying with wide apricot eyes. "What do you think? Stealth Maneuver is a regular army! ”

Yang Ying smiled wryly.

The regular army had a name with such a heavy atmosphere of rivers and lakes, who would have thought that.

"Okay, what's the problem, ask Liu Ye on the way! I'm going to turn the corner. Sister Bing'er pushed Yang Ying beside her with her elbow, as if she didn't want him to get close or follow her. Once you're settled, we should be able to meet again. ”

Before Yang Ying could think and reply, Da Xibing turned around and added, "By the way, you said you wanted to join the secret maneuver, right?" ”

Yang Ying was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"Then you have figured out that you need to take the test?" After Da Xibing finished speaking, he thought about it and said, "But with your ability, I'm afraid the test will not be difficult for you." ”

Yang Ying smiled confidently.

Of course, although I like hand-to-hand combat the most, the basic archery, riding skills and tactics are really not a problem, and it is difficult for me.

"But you still have to think about it, my father is a direct boss of the ministry, and after you pass the test, you will become my subordinate!" Da Xibing raised an index finger and shook it in front of Yang Ying, and said with a serious face.

When you're a subordinate......

I don't feel annoying.

Bing'er looked at Yang Ying's appearance, smiled knowingly, stopped talking nonsense, turned around and quickened her pace, blended into the flow of people, and disappeared without a trace without a trace after walking a few steps.

Yang Ying looked at her back and was fascinated.

"Childe, Sister Bing'er has already gone away, let's go too!" Willow Leaf interrupted his gaze with a wicked smile.

"Oh? Oh...... What a stealthy maneuvering leader! I can't even detect a trace of breath in the crowd......" Yang Ying seemed to be talking to herself.

Liu Ye heard that his explanation was far-fetched, but he didn't debunk it, just smiled.

The group continued towards the edge of the city walls, hoping to reach the barracks before dark.

————————

The dusk torch shines on a five-pointed star.

In the masonry hall, two tall stone pillars are erected.

Seven light gauze curtains, decorated with seven-colored jewels, radiate a dazzling brilliance against the backdrop of the firelight.

Two rows of heavily armed soldiers, clad in sharp armor, surrounded them.

There are also staggered sentry posts that take care of each other outside the main hall.

On the sentry post, a lot of archers were also placed.

A tall enclosure that encloses and guards all the interior buildings, large and small.

A three-entry gate, sitting north and facing south. To the left and right of the doorway, a pair of stone lions are placed.

This is the "Pole Star", the branch of association in Heijo.

And seven members also arrived one after another.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!" Diamond was the first to preside over the meeting.

"Kaiyang, you actually lost an important chess piece, what should you be guilty of?" Lou Zhaojun directly asked the teacher to ask for the crime.

Her seat here is third in the line, representing the Sapphire Dimensity Star.

"Why don't you say that I allocated so many troops to you, and you didn't take Yang Guang back from Pei Mansion?" The immature children's voice did not give an inch. "Thanks to the Sky Xuanxing, he has made a strict plan for you."

The one who spoke was Da Xibing, Kaiyang, who was ranked sixth.

"The Pei family is not easy to mess with, there is also a master living in seclusion in the house, although he is young, but he is very scheming, I have not taken my daughter yet, and he will completely crush the action." Lou Zhaojun decided to sell some of the information first in exchange for the trust of the organization. "The disciple of the Guigu faction, nicknamed the crow, has a very hard idea, and has a good relationship with Yang Guang, and the two cooperate seamlessly, so it is difficult to start for a while."

"It's not because you're a waste, but I'm risking my life, pulling out my teeth and killing his master Guiguzi, you're a waste of war." Da Xibing is still chasing after him. "Everyone has heard Tianji's tone, and it is estimated that he has been rebelled by the other party."

"You're squirting blood!"

"And how did you come back alive and unscathed?" There was a sly glint in Da Xibing's eyes. "The crow and I have fought once, and he's the type who won't let go when he bites, unless...... You promised him to be his spy on Pole Star......"

"......" Lou Zhaojun was speechless.

"Tianji, is that so?" The tone of the celestial star under the diamond is cold, as if it makes people feel in the bitter cold winter of the number nine.

"Big brother, listen to me first: although the other party is not simple, the main purpose is to cooperate with us to refer to Polestar." The cold sweat on Lou Zhaojun's forehead was already oozing out finely and densely. "Mutual benefit and win-win, conspire with the world."

"Joke! When did we mean that Polestar needed to join forces with other sects? A single-handedly bare-knuckle commander, with the same hairy boy's palm chess pieces, is qualified to sit on an equal footing with the ranks here? "The voices of men and women under the diamonds exploded instantly." Dimensity! You're a typical betrayal! Don't think I dare to do anything to you! Be careful, I'll serve you Gao Pei and your two families in one pot with a snap of my fingers! ”

"Big brother, stop being angry! Now that this is the case, don't expand the scope of the damage! "Under the second in line, under the ruby, Tian Xuan suddenly spoke, Tian Xuan is a calm strategist." The plan is not completely aborted, but I need to go to Nanliang in person, temporarily replace Yang Guang, and play the role of leading troops north in advance. ”

In fact, another purpose of Tianxuan's interjection was not to want Tianshu to continue to expose too much of the organization's confidential information under the excitement.

Inside the stone hall, there was a long silence.

Quiet......

"Okay...... That's all it takes. "The boss seems to have finally calmed down." However, Nanliang does not have enough troops at present, and now he has lost Yang Guang, which means that the Northern Expedition needs to shake the foundation of Empress Hu, and the difficulty has increased exponentially, Tianxuan, you really have no problem, right? ”

"It's not just the Guigu faction that can scheming." Tianxuan was confident. "Don't forget we have a spare pawn."

"You're talking about Xiao Yan's entourage back then, right? If you use it now, will it be a little too old? I'm afraid it won't take long, right? Tianshu was anxious and skeptical.

"At present, there is really no one else to choose but him. Use it for as long as you want! Tianxuan also sighed helplessly. There is no other way, I will use the excuse to go to the city and contact with Cao Yizong, the guard general of the Southern Liang, this person is insatiable, I will give more gold and silver beauties, and use him as a breakthrough, the golden cicada will break out of the shell and blend into the camp of the Southern Liang, lead troops to capture Luoyang, and force Queen Hu to fall. ”

"Okay!" Tianshu is also like a deflated ball. That's all you can do, you do what you think and act when you see the opportunity. I can only rely on you now, and remember to stay safe. ”

"Well, don't worry, this person's ability can be regarded as the best in the world. Although he is not good at bowing horses, he is brave and knowledgeable, proficient in cavalry tactics, and is indeed a rare Confucian general. ”

"Well, okay...... Then we will disband, and please respect yourself after that. For the time being, don't gather with each other anymore. Tianshu said meaningfully. A violent wind sweeping the world is about to blow. ”

"Wait, big brother." Da Xibing hurriedly interrupted. "With all due respect, I have another request: after the previous operation, the Stealth Maneuver has suffered a serious injury, and there is a shortage of personnel at present. I hope to be able to recruit another group of subordinates. ”

"yes, that's right." The answer was very simple.

"I hope to be able to absorb Yang Ying into it, on the one hand, to hone it, and on the other hand, to facilitate covert monitoring and protection."

？？？

"This proposal...... "Tianshu seemed surprised." Is he willing to work with the enemy who killed his father and destroyed his family? ”

Yang Ying seems to ...... has lost his memory...... "Da Xibing is actually very reluctant to confide such important information in front of Tianji.

"Are you sure?"

"For now, yes."

"Alright! That's right. "Tianshu has finally made up his mind." But you have to keep a watchful eye on it, and you can't go wrong again. ”

"Yes!" Da Xibing was relieved.

"Oh yes? Tianxuan. "At the end of the disbandment, Tianshu suddenly had another mouth." I forgot again, you tell me again, what is the name of the spare chess piece you often say, the Confucian general of the Southern Liang? ”

"Chen Qingzhi."
