Chapter 160: Wandering Tiger's Den
ζ‘ζ΅ιΉΏ says:
"I've seen our eyeliner in the thief, and I'm going out of town tonight to meet him."
Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu heard this and said at the same time:
"Second brother, no!"
Then Tao Zhutu first said:
"The second brother just met that kid in front of the formation and changed the note, how can you trust him so easily?"
Lan Ziyi also said:
"Now the thieves are raging, and the small Xiangcheng is in danger, compared to the situation in Yuzhou when the thieves trapped our army, it is simply a reversal of the situation.
This thief came to us for speculation, and I don't believe he will remain much loyal to us now. β
Hearing what Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu said, Tao Zhulu lowered his head slightly, thought about it and said:
"Xiangcheng is in danger, but the imperial reinforcements don't know where the soldiers are, at this time, if we can get through the thief intelligence, it will be a way out for us."
ε °εδΉ says:
"But second brother, you need to gamble with your own lives."
Peach Rabbit also said:
"It's the second brother, what if the thieves cheat and trick you into the past but catch you?"
Tao Zhulu shook his head and said:
"Wei Hou doesn't have to stop me, I have the bottom in my heart.
When the thieves attacked the city just now, the armor was the leader and supervised the battle under the city, but he was called to climb the ladder by a colorful god next to him, who should be a real thief.
I saw that I had the opportunity to write a note and go forward to fight with him, the two of us seemed to fight hard, but in fact they were just pretending, and I also took the opportunity to stuff the note into his arms,
When the soldier got the note, he shook his knife and walked away, and said to me, 'Come to me,'
I saw that he was very reluctant to go to the city, and the sergeants under his command were full of food and rushed to the front line, and I guess he was ostracized from among the thieves, and he was resentful.
Wei Hou, the opportunity must not be missed, the time will not come again, even if I go out to take risks, I must go. β
ζ‘θΏ½ε says:
"Then second brother, you can send someone to go, why do you want to take risks yourself? How many of the thieves in the First World War today know your face, won't you be sent to death if you go again? β
Tao Zhulu shook his head and said:
"I've been out of contact with the thieves for a long time, and at this time people's hearts are unstable, everyone is suspicious of each other, and if I don't go in person, I'm afraid it will make the armorer suspicious.
Moreover, there are many matters to be discussed in the re-connection, and no matter how much I believe in the person who was sent, he will not be able to make a decision for me, and besides, the quality of the sergeants is already uneven, and even a single word mistake will be missed by a thousand miles.
I'll have to go myself. β
Then Peach Hunt Rabbit patted Peach Hunt Rabbit on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"San Lang, don't worry, I'm a backup for the Hayabusa Battalion, and I'll be fine."
Tao Zhutu listened and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lan Ziyi,
Lan Ziyi looked at the peach and the deer, and said after a while:
"Since General Zhulu has decided, let's do it, the situation is forced to make us pick and choose."
Tao Zhutu was in a hurry, turned his head to look at Lan Ziyi and said:
"Young master, how can you let my second brother go to death?"
Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand again to stop Tao Zhutu, and then said firmly:
"General Zhulu is worried that the sergeant has made a mistake, and I am also worried,
Seeing is believing, and I also want to know what the situation of the thieves and the army is, so I'll go with you tonight! β
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The thieves never attacked again that day, and the soldiers had a rare rest after cleaning the city wall, and if the thieves didn't leave in the future, I am afraid that it would be difficult to have such an opportunity.
Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu were also on the city wall, and they had already sent people to report the news to the city and the city gates, saying that he would guard the city at the east gate tonight. But he didn't say anything about him going out of the city tonight, because Lan Ziyi knew that once he told the others that he and Tao Zhulu would not want to go out to connect with the informant tonight.
Although Lan Ziyi agreed to Tao Zhutu to go out of the city, he did not agree with his plan to go directly to see the thief Kou Jiashi, Lan Ziyi asked Tao Zhulu to choose the henchmen he had been using before, and first went down to the city to get in touch with the traffickers and pawns among the people on the periphery of the thieves, Lao Bustard**, first confirmed the reliability of these people and then met with the armor through them, so that there was no need to run around like headless flies, and there was an extra layer of insurance, and Lan Ziyi estimated that in addition to the barracks, the people outside would not be better than what they saw in the thief camp last time. This kind of fish and dragon mixing is a good thing for Lan Ziyi and them.
Lan Ziyi sighed as he looked at the lights in the thief camp outside the city, and looked back to the west.
The sun had sunset under the West City Gate an hour earlier, and it was at that time that the people sent out by Tao Zhulu were lowered from the city walls.
Lan Ziyi and the others did not release people at the West City Gate, there were many people there, and the thieves were also watching closely outside.
Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhulu chose the place near the southwest corner of the city wall, and found an excuse to branch out all the irrelevant sergeants elsewhere.
Lan Ziyi withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes slightly and felt the evening breeze, the smell of blood was lighter than during the day, and it made people want to sleep.
At this time, the peach chasing rabbit next to him interrupted Lan Ziyi and pulled him back from the edge of sleep, and he said without worry:
"Wei Hou, I think you better not go, it's too dangerous."
Lan Ziyi opened his eyes, and the sleepiness drifted away with the wind again, and he said to Tao Zhutu:
"I'm going, I'm going to see with my own eyes how the thieves are doing, so that I can know how to fight next."
Peach Rabbit said:
"Then I'll go with Wei Hou too."
ε °εδΉ says:
"No, my second brother and I are gone, if you go to this Ximen again, who will be left? Once the West Gate is lost, we will try our best to get out of the city and start in vain? β
Peach Rabbit sighed, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Lan Ziyi looked at the peach and rabbit and said:
"Third brother, don't worry, with the second brother here, I'll be fine,
Your task is to keep the walls well, and there will be no loss. β
At this time, someone behind him also said:
"San Lang guards the city well, and it will be fine with me in the young master."
Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu turned around, and saw that it was Tao Zhulu who came back,
In order to go out of the city, I went to the city to find some clothes just now, and just came back at this time, picked out a few short shirts and handed them to Lan Ziyi, saying:
"Wei Hou put it on."
Lan Ziyi took the clothes, and the fishy smell could make people faint.
But now is not the time to dislike clothes, Lan Ziyi hurriedly changed into short clothes, put on knee-length shorts, put on cloth shoes on both feet, untied the hosta on his head, and wrapped his hair in a bun with strips of rag.
Tao Zhulu next to him was also changing clothes, he thought about it and said:
"Wei Hou, I think you should not go down, it's too dangerous."
Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand to stop the peach chase and said:
"Seeing is believing, I have to see it with my own eyes to know the current situation of thieves.
You've said enough just now, I'm not going to eat in the city, you don't have to say more. β
Seeing that it was useless to say more, Tao Zhulu sighed and said:
"Then Wei Hou has to promise me that after you leave the city, your identity is my master, everything must be arranged by me, and you must not expose your identity as Wei Tinghou Lan Ziyi."
Lan Ziyi had already changed his clothes at this time, turned his head to Tao Zhulu and said with a smile:
"No problem, I'll listen to my second brother after I leave the city."
Tao Zhulu also changed into a long robe that was taken off the thief's body at this time, and Lan Ziyi nodded.
Everyone waited on the city wall for about half an hour, and Lan Ziyi shrank at the head of the city wrapped in a quilt and fell asleep.
Peach Rabbit looked out of the city wall and said:
"Why don't people come back, will there be a problem?"
Tao Zhulu frowned and said:
"The thief camp is so big, of course it is difficult to find people, and it is by no means possible to arrange it properly in a while.
Not tonight and tomorrow night, in short, I want to think about connecting with the thief. β
At this time, there were three short vole cries under the city wall, and then a long tanuki sound, which was a pre-arranged code, indicating that the people had arrived.
Tao Zhulu hurriedly ordered the defenders to lower the rope, and pulled the people up after a while.
The sergeant who came up was also dressed as a thief, and when he saw Tao Zhulu, he said:
"General, people have been contacted, the more than 300 prostitutes who were bought in the thief camp before are now connected to seven here, and one is the head card of the thief camp here, and the thief has been contacted for us."
Tao Zhulu stared at the sergeant for a moment and asked:
"Why are you the only one, and the others?"
The sergeant replied:
"There were a few people in the city, waiting to come up, and one of them was pretending to be a general at the prostitute, and before we left, there were no thieves who came to take them.
In addition to the fact that the gate of the camp was closed, and the people on the periphery were loosely guarded, the villain thought that this woman could be trusted, and the general could go. β
Tao Zhulu looked at the soldiers who were constantly climbing the city next to him, and then looked at Lan Ziyi, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and ordered in a low voice:
"Don't wake up the Marquis, I'll go down to the city now."
Tao Zhulu thought that his voice was small enough, but he didn't expect Lan Ziyi to stand up and say:
"As I expected, the management of the soldiers and civilians is still a mess."
Tao Zhulu turned his head to look at Lan Ziyi standing in a daze, one hand still wiping the corner of his mouth, surprised how his young master suddenly woke up from his deep sleep.
Lan Ziyi shook his head and threw away the quilt, and the cold wind at night blew him a spirit, which made him sober up.
Looking at Tao Zhulu, who wanted to speak, Lan Ziyi said:
"General Zhulu doesn't need to stop me, I won't listen to what you say, I will definitely go to the city with you today."
Tao Zhulu was helpless, so he had to nod, and the Tao Zhutu next to him sighed and began to prepare the rope bamboo basket,
Although there is only a wall outside the city, but the foot of the city wall is pitch black, Tao Zhulu first descended along the rope, and after confirming the safety, he sent a signal to the city, and Lan Ziyi was put down from the city in a bamboo basket, followed by hundreds of taels of silver.
As soon as he got out of the city, he handed over all the silver to Lan Ziyi to carry, and he said:
"Wei Hou suffers a little, if you don't carry it, people will see through it."
Lan Ziyi nodded and put the huge leather bag on his back, and followed the peach and deer to the lights not far away.
The road under his feet ***** stumbling everywhere, Lan Ziyi knew that many of these uneven places were human corpses, but now was not the time to think about them.
It was the first time for Lan Ziyi to be given such a heavy amount of silver, thinking that the money was easy to spend but not easy to take at all, coupled with the fact that Tao Zhulu acted quickly, Lan Ziyi would be so tired and out of breath if he wanted to keep up.
Tao Zhulu said as he walked:
"Hurry up, it's dawn these days, and we must get back to the city before then."
Lan Ziyi snorted, and then tightened his teeth to keep up with Tao Zhulu.
