Chapter 11: The Theft of Military Banks 4
The prince strode out of Hualin Garden and stretched. By this time it was completely dark.
Tonight's sky is destined to be moonless and cloudy, which will indicate that tonight will not be calm.
Qin Yu smiled and said to Zimo: "It's been a lot of trouble tonight, and my throat is dry, let's find a place to drink!" ”
Zimo looked at the prince with indifferent eyes: "Do you know that the situation just now is very dangerous?" Do you still have the heart to drink now? ”
Qin Yu frowned and said, "It's almost time to solve the case, I invited you to drink this wine to celebrate for you!" ”
Zimo was still worried: "After saying so many things in front of the general tonight, still didn't find out the whereabouts of the military silver?" ”
Qin Yu smiled and said, "I knew you would ask this, but ......" Qin Yu slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "The show is ahead!" ”
"Oh?" Zimo was skeptical, and he didn't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really sure to find the military silver, otherwise the safety of the Beigong family would be ......
"Let's go!" Qin Yu pulled Zimo's arm, and he was simply dragged over to drink.
Hualin Garden is located in the west of Nanzheng City, with its back against the mountain, which is lush with trees and grass.
At this time, it was already the middle of the day, and everything was silent, His Royal Highness took Zimo to a Dongyun Tower, which looked about a hundred meters high, and the most important thing was that the terrain here was very high, basically standing on top of this Dongyun Tower, the entire Nanzheng City could be seen at a glance.
Only Qin Yu likes to come to such a place to drink, and he feels that it is indeed a great thing in life that he can drink while watching the scenery here.
Zimo really couldn't understand what our Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to do, and he came to this place in Dongyun Building to drink at night, the most important thing is that most of the people here are mainly performing arts, and most of them are women, I don't know what His Royal Highness is thinking?
Qin Yu picked up a wine lord, poured a full glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Looking high here, does Zimo feel that he can see the city at a glance?" ”
Zimo stood by the window on the top floor of Dongyun Building with his sword, looking at the scenery outside, and did not answer His Highness's words.
"Zimo, do you have a good view of this place?" Qin Yu said.
"It's really tall here, but what are we doing here?" Zimo asked.
Qin Yu pointed to the distance: "If you look down from here, the entire Nanzheng City can be seen at a glance, and it is a very important position facing us. ”
Zimo stood on the top of the mountain, looking down from a distance, at the foot of the mountain, the entire Nanzheng City was unobstructed.
Wait a minute......
Looking down closely, here it is?
Zimo saw that place, the position directly opposite the Dongyun Building-holding the heavenly pivot and holding the earth's axis.
At this time, he realized that the purpose of His Highness's intention to come here was ......
Observe General Yan's every move in the underground palace.
Qin Yu took the glass of wine and said helplessly: "Brother Zimo, do you want to drink this wine?" I've been holding this glass of wine for a long time, and my hands are soft! ”
At this time, the worried look on Zimo's face eased slightly, walked over, and took the glass of wine.
Qin Yu smiled and said, "I invited you to drink and watch the play tonight, and you are still so unappreciative, alas! What a sight! ”
At this time, the gate of Hualin Garden was opened to the west. A group of elite guards rode off from Hualin Garden, and then galloped along the path behind the mountain.
"They're already on the move!" Zimo said lightly.
"Hah! It was not in vain that he spent a night with his mouth tonight. I played games with him and told jokes with him! Qin Yu suddenly became excited.
General Yan's subordinates have always been rampant and domineering, and they can generally walk sideways on the main road, regardless of whether they disturb the people or not. Tonight, it's a small path, sneaky.
Zimo looked at His Highness and said, "It seems that His Highness's sincerity in personally visiting has worked!" ”
"Really? Our General Yan is really embarrassed, and he started to act so quickly. His Highness said with a smile while drinking.
His Royal Highness put down the wine bottle in his hand, walked to the window and said with a serious expression: "Next, it's time for our people to appear, I have already arranged a team of people to stand by near the underground palace, once General Yan sends someone to transfer the military silver out, our people will intercept it on the way." By the way, I sent him a favor and helped him bring the military silver back to the palace to restore his life. ”
It turned out that His Highness had already planned, he knew General Yiyan's temperament, and if he knew that he had uncovered his conspiracy, he would definitely not sit idly by. And what General Yan has to do now is to use the fastest speed to catch up with Qin Yu and transfer the 100,000 taels of gold as soon as possible.
"It turns out that His Highness has a plan!" Zimo said with a look of admiration in his eyes.
"I never fight unprepared battles, but I have to bother you to go on this matter, otherwise this military silver will not be able to stop." After Qin Yu finished speaking, he patted Zimo's shoulder.
Zimo drank all the wine in the cup, looked at the location of the underground palace in the distance, and suddenly felt that even his breathing became lighter. Tonight's task is to successfully intercept General Yan's personal guard elite cavalry, so that the Beigong family can escape this catastrophe.
Nanzheng City, the central location - the underground palace!
A man in black had been hiding at the exit of the underground palace for nearly an hour, and the night was like ink. He remained still, as if he had merged with the night.
Xiao Xiao night ghost!
The ghost of one of the four masters under General Yan.
Many people in the Northern Dynasties know the existence of ghosts, he has superb martial arts skills, excellent light skills, and is a first-class master.
But many people don't know why his code name is called - Ghost!
A man who is good at fighting in the dark, with his keen observation and positional ability, it is one of his special skills to deal with his opponents in the dark.
Maybe many people don't know, but in fact, he is a killer personally selected by General Yan himself. At that time, when the ghost was a child, he was favored by General Yan and brought back to Fuzhong to cultivate as a first-class killer.
Because of General Yan's desire, he had to fight his way through the Northern Dynasty.
In the struggle for power, only the rights that can be exchanged for blood are constantly used. And he became General Yan's important right-hand man.
It is the use of ghosts to gradually complete their own way of power, and this road is paved with bloody corpses, which is also the record that ghosts are most proud of. Because of his excellence, he became one of the commanders of General Yan's killer regiment at a young age.
The night is getting darker and deeper, and the surroundings of the dungeon are quiet, and the silence makes people crazy! The cold air of the night hits, and the ghost is still standing at the door of the underground palace, without any slackness.
This dungeon doesn't look special, but it's actually a mystery inside.
At that time, General Yan spent a lot of effort to build such an underground palace, which was well-arranged and well-equipped. Although the underground palace is built underground, there is no air outlet to communicate with the outside world, but people can stay in this underground palace for a long time and will not feel stuffy.
The ghost stayed motionless at the exit of the dungeon, mainly to hold on to the 100,000 taels of gold that he had snatched back.
He was well aware of the importance of this batch of military silver, and this fund was very important in General Yan's plan.
As long as the 100,000 taels of gold are successfully transferred by the Guardian Elite Cavalry after tonight, the ghost's mission will be successfully completed.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually came from far and near, and the team of guards had arrived at the entrance of the underground palace, they tightened the reins, and the war horses roared, and everyone immediately dismounted, and then the whole team returned to their positions.
The horse immediately fell silent, and the people stood neatly at the entrance of the underground palace.
The general who led the team took out a tiger talisman and handed it to the ghost guarding the door.
The ghost quickly took the tiger talisman and motioned to the guards at the door to open the gate of the dungeon, and at this time, the guard spirit rode into the dungeon to transfer the military silver.
It all went very well.
The ghost relaxed a little and leaned against the entrance of the dungeon.
After a while, this team of guards had already moved out of the general's silver. This team of pro-guards moved quickly, and after moving the military silver, they lined up one by one and walked neatly towards the exit of the underground palace.
But......
The ghost seemed to find something strange in the corner of his eye.
The man who came out last of the line of the guards walked at a different pace than the others, and he seemed to keep his head down.
No, to be exact, he was observing the situation around him......
Not good, the ghost frowned.
The ghost grabbed his arm and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The soldier raised his head slightly and said coldly, "You are a ghost?" As soon as the words fell, Zimo lifted his helmet, pulled out his long sword, and stabbed the ghost.
When the ghost heard this, his heart suddenly felt like he had been pierced by an arrow. But he reacted quickly, let go of his hand, performed light skills, jumped high outward, and skillfully dodged Zimo's sword blade.
Suddenly, the team of guards reacted and shouted, "There are assassins!" ”
At the exit of the underground palace, Zimo stabbed the throat of the elite cavalry regiment with a sword, the long sword was extremely fast, showing an "S"-shaped killing route, and the sword sealed the throat.
Seeing that the general's elite corps at this time had already killed eight people, he turned around and swung his sword without hesitation, and a sharp sword aura immediately attacked Zimo, Zimo used his long sword to block the ghost's attack, the two weapons collided with each other, and the two people were fighting for internal force at this time.
Seeing this, the surrounding elite soldiers stepped forward to attack, and Zimo saw this and immediately retreated. The ghost rushed over again strongly, slashing with his sword, a sword qi swept through, the trees around Zimo were split in two, Zimo turned over in the air, and fell on the ghost's back, and the long sword was aimed at the back of the ghost's neck. The master's move mainly relies on feeling the opponent's breath and predicting the opponent's move, so the ghost did not look back, but leaned forward, dodged Zimo's long sword, and slashed out again sideways, the speed was so fast that it was impossible to guard against it. Zimo retreated into the woods behind him while receiving the call, and he finally felt the power of this ghost who was known as General Yan's first-class killer.
"I'm interested in playing with you!" The corners of the ghost's mouth curled slightly.
Zimo turned around, changed direction, brushed the treetops, and tapped the branches with his toes, shuttling through the woods like arrows.
The ghost thought to himself: I want to escape, no one has been able to escape from his palm during his mission.
Then the ghost's feet swept across the ground like a gale, and the shadows of the trees swayed, and a shadow sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, like a ghost, followed Zimo tightly up and down, left and right.
The light in the woods was already dim, and the ghost chased Zimo into the woods, and stopped when he chased him into the woods. At this time, the dark clouds covered the moon, the woods were pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers when he stretched out his hand, and Zimo couldn't see the traces of ghosts.
The night was like ink, and the woods were very quiet at the moment. After a while, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and a full moon appeared in the sky, and the appearance of a full moon in general often means that people will plan to do something unexpected.
Yang moves and goes, yin stops and hides; Yang moves out, and yin enters.
When the light of the full moon shone down, the ghost appeared.
Zimo could feel the murderous aura from afar......
The ghost is extremely fast, attacking Zimo from six directions: up, down, front, back, left, and right, Zimo saw six figures around, which means that the ghost used the doppelganger technique, but only one was the main body.
The ghost quickly rushed towards Zimo, Zimo was shocked, and quickly took out his sword to block the ghost's attack, but because the speed of the ghost's move was too fast, so that Zimo couldn't distinguish the ghost's body for a while in such a short time, so he was inevitably stabbed by the ghost a few times.
Zimo spun around, stepped lightly on the tree, and flipped and fell to the ground. Zimo stood in place, blood flowing down his shoulders from the wound.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves on the trees swayed. The ghost did not continue to attack at this time, but gathered the six figures into one, turning back into his final body.
At this time, a fire suddenly broke out at the entrance of the dungeon, and the fire spread extremely fast, and the raging fire burned very quickly, enclosing the entrance of the dungeon in an instant.
The night is getting darker and darker, a team of men and horses have quietly sneaked into the woods, General Yan's team of elite soldiers wanted to take advantage of the chaos to transfer the military silver out at this time, they were ready to set off, but the horses had just run a dozen steps, suddenly dozens of arrows in the woods shot at them, because the night was too dark, they had no defense, and they suffered heavy casualties for a while.
The smoke of the flame could be seen in the distance in the woods, and at this time, Zimo's eyes became more determined, because he knew that Jun Yin had successfully intercepted it.
"A plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" There was a doubt in the ghost's eyes, and only then did he react.
"It's a pity it's too late for you to rush back now!" Zimo said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost's eyes widened, because Zimo, who was a few feet away from him just now, had flashed in front of him in an instant, and the long sword emitted a cold light, stabbing towards the position of the ghost's heart, the ghost's face changed suddenly, and he quickly retreated, but he was still a little slower, and the long sword stabbed him in the left shoulder.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the ghost quickly turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.
The flames reddened the entire forest, and the ghost quickly rushed back to the dungeon. It's a pity that it's too late, and when he arrived at the underground palace, the elite army has been wiped out, and the 100,000 taels of silver have been robbed.
