When Shen Fang and Liu Sheng entered the palace to meet Guo Kun in Bianliang City, the adventure of Lin Jue and his party had just begun.

Under the cover of night, Lin Jue, Bai Bing, Sun Dayong, and three good men selected from the personal guard cavalry left the camp. This morning, at the end of the meeting, Bai Bing did not leave, but turned back and followed the Jurchen soldiers and horses who had escorted Yan Mingyue's mother and son for a long time. With Bai Bing's outstretched hand, the opposing soldiers were completely unaware of the lush vegetation. Bai Bing watched them enter Puyang City all the time, and only then did he confirm that Yan Mingyue's mother and son were escorted into Puyang City.

After Lin felt the news, he finally decided to take the risk to rescue him tonight. Because it is much easier for people to do in the city, if it is in the camp of the Jurchens outside the city, the plan of risky rescue is basically unfeasible. The military camp is heavy, and a master like Bai Bing does not dare to come and go freely, and he must be cautious. What's more, it is to rescue a pair of Wanyan Mingyue's mother and son from trouble. Being entangled by the opposing soldiers, even the gods are difficult to get out. In the city, even if the other party is heavily guarded, there are various movable terrain such as houses, trees, fences, and streets as cover, and you can do it quietly. Even if his whereabouts are revealed, there will be nowhere to hide.

Even if they knew that Yan Mingyue's mother and son were in Puyang City, it was impossible for Lin Jue and the others to directly march towards Puyang City in the northeast. The rescue operation had to be carried out unconsciously, so the six people sneaked in the direction of due north first, with a very simple intention, to sneak back to the west or north of Puyang City and sneak into the city.

However, less than five miles to the north, in a low depression, a cavalry battalion was found. Needless to say, this must have been a cavalry camp for the Jurchens, as there were campfires everywhere. A campfire was the most common way for the Jurchens to set up camp, and they would drink and chat and sleep around the campfire, even on such hot summer nights, and this habit was obviously not broken. In fact, you don't need to look at the bonfire to guess that this is, of course, the cavalry camp of the Jurchens. And in this direction, such a military camp appeared several miles away from the main camp of the Jurchen cavalry, and it was obvious that Wanyan Agu had dispatched troops and horses scattered in all directions, preparing to attack the camp of the Luoyan army from all directions.

Wanyan Aguda didn't lie, he was ready to attack. Of course, Lin Jue did not guess wrong, Wanyan Aguda must use this offensive method in order to greatly reduce the power of his firearms. By exposing your army to enemy on all sides, the role of firearms will be greatly weakened and will not be able to play any role.

The six of them spent more than half an hour trying to get around the barracks, and they had to be extra careful, as they were likely to run into the opposing scouts in the wilderness, which slowed down their movements. Fortunately, the six-person team has a small target and is very cautious. Although they were traveling with six people, Bai Bing rode a snowflake and walked a hundred steps away to take the lead, using his keen hearing and vision to detect danger in advance. The two guards marched a hundred paces away on the left and right sides, and Lin Jue and Sun Dayong were the last. This makes the already small six-man squad smaller and has a wider range of detection for danger.

Everything was in danger, and after a and a half shifts, Lin Jue and the others finally saw the faint lights on the horizon, as well as the outline of Puyang City, which was dark in the dark night. Although Puyang City is the place where Kaide Mansion is located, Kaide Mansion itself is a small state capital with only five counties under its jurisdiction, so the scale of Puyang City is not large. At its peak, the entire city of Puyang was less than 100,000 people. The moat of the city is no more than a zhang wide, and the city walls are only five or six zhang high. Among the many cities in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the city defense of Puyang City is the second.

There were Jurchen soldiers and horses patrolling the city walls, but there were not many. On one side of the wall, there were only three or five patrols patrolling in sections. For the six, going to town is not difficult at all. Sun Dayong shot a hook to hook the battlements, and everyone rushed up to the city wall. Leaning on the other side of the wall, looking into the city, it was dark. The sporadic lights of the street market outline the prototype of the neighborhood. There was no noise from the soldiers and horses, and there was a sound of leakage in the silence of the city, and it was already the third watch.

Lin Jue didn't feel strange that there seemed to be no soldiers and horses in the city. Most of Wanyan Aguda's soldiers and horses should have been transferred out of the city, distributed in the wilderness, ready to attack at any time, and the city was naturally deserted. This is exactly what Lin Jue wants to see. The commotion in the city is full of soldiers and horses, so how can you save people?

The people found the steps and descended the city wall, and disappeared into the shadows of the street. Sneak down a long street towards the center of the city. There was darkness and silence in the houses on both sides of the road, and barely any human voices could be heard. If it weren't for the fact that the Jurchens had fled to the south and that the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty had fled to death, and that there must have been ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the cities and towns in the north now, I am afraid that they would have thought that they had entered a ghost town. Many of these houses are uninhabited, and the whole street is filled with the smell of feces and urine, as well as the smell of fish. The Jurchens basically did the same everywhere they went, and the war and urine were everywhere, and no one cleaned it up. The Jurchen soldiers themselves also excrete everywhere, and after eating beef and mutton, they poop and pee with a fishy smell, plus they themselves do not like to be clean, and their bodies are also stinky, so the smell of fish everywhere they go is unpleasant, and it is difficult to disperse for a long time.

"My lord, I don't know where Mrs. Mingyue and the little boy live, I'm afraid it won't be possible to break in like this. There must be patrols on the streets, and it is troublesome to be found whereabouts. In the shadows of a cross street, Sun Dayong whispered.

Lin Jue nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I have to catch a Jurchen and ask, it is indeed impossible to break in." ”

Sun Dayong nodded, and everyone touched a hundred steps forward, turned a street corner, and there was a bright place in front of them, and there was a loud noise, as if someone was quarreling. Everyone hurriedly stopped and listened carefully, only to realize that it was not a quarrel, but a loud noise that seemed to have drunk too much.

"It's a tavern. It seems that there are Jurchens drinking inside. Sun Dayong said in a deep voice.

Lin Jue took out the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and saw that in a simple tavern, two people who looked like Jurchen generals were drinking and laughing loudly. An old Han man dressed in Da Zhou costume stood beside him, seemingly the shopkeeper of the tavern. After a short time, the two Jurchen generals drank all the jugs of wine on the table, wiped their mouths and were about to leave. The old man stepped forward and seemed to say something, and one of the tall Jurchens raised his hand with a mouth, raised his foot and kicked the old man to the ground, and when he swung his fist and was about to fight, another Jurchen stopped him. The two of them went out with a smile, and one walked to the street in the distance, but the person who beat the person happened to be walking in the direction where Lin Jue and the others were.

"That's him, take that guy." Lin Jue commanded in a low voice, and retreated to the alley next to him with Bai Bing. Sun Dayong and his three brothers huddled under the shadow of the eaves and waited with bated breath.

There was a heavy sound of footsteps on the street, and the Jurchen seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and while staggering along, he was humming a tune in his mouth, and he didn't know what to sing, but it was a little nice. Walking to the shadows, Sun Dayong rushed out, grabbed the man's head and neck, and strangled his neck. The Jurchen's singing stopped abruptly, and he struggled violently, his hand trying to touch the scimitar at his waist. The three guards of the Luoyan Army had already rushed out, one grabbed his arm, and the other raised his foot, lifting the Jurchen in an instant. After a few moments, no one could be seen in the street, as if nothing had happened.

In the alley, the Jurchen was put down, and just as he was about to scold loudly, a thin blade of a bright and cold sword had already pressed against his eyebrows, and he was suddenly so frightened that he woke up from alcohol, and the whole person sat on the ground.

"You...... Who are you? The Jurchen said in a trembling voice.

"Do you speak Da Zhou? That's it. What is your name? Lin Jue asked with a smile and a deep voice.

"I ...... My name is ...... Wanyan Pingkang...... Spare your life, spare your life. The Jurchen general said in a trembling voice.

"Answer well, and I won't kill you. Is it Wanyan Pingkang? What is your official position? Whose generals are they? Lin Jue asked softly.

"I ...... I am the lieutenant of General Uermu in the rear camp, and I will not hide anything you want to ask. Wan Yan Pingkang was obviously a coward, and replied in a trembling voice.

"Good. Tell us, where do you Jurchen Princess Jinhua and her son live? Lin Jue said.

"Princess Golden? This one...... I don't know, how could I know such a thing? You guys...... Who are you? Wan Yan Pingkang said.

"He doesn't know, cut it." Lin Jue said coldly.

Sun Dayong stretched out his hand to draw the knife, but before the knife was unsheathed, Yan Pingkang hurriedly shouted: "Don't don't, don't kill me, I really don't know." But...... I heard that Princess Jinhua lived with the big chief. The chief used to live in the palace, but now he doesn't know it. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Where is the mansion?" ”

"It's just ahead...... Not far. There are two more blocks away. Wan Yan Pingkang said.

"Good. How many soldiers and horses are there in the government? Lin Jue nodded and asked.

"This ...... I really don't know. After Yan Pingkang said this, he saw Sun Dayong start to draw his sword again, and hurriedly said: "The soldiers and horses have been transferred out of the city in the past few days, and there should not be many soldiers and horses guarding the government." There were only less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the whole city. ”

Lin Jue nodded slowly, knowing that he couldn't ask anything. At least I know the residence of Yan Mingyue's mother and son. I used to live in the government, and now I should be there. As for how many people guarded it, he didn't really care, anyway, he didn't fight with them, but sneaked in.

"By the way, why did you beat the old man in that tavern?" Lin Jue asked.

Wan Yan Pingkang was stunned, and he didn't know why the other party wanted to ask this question.

"Speak quickly!" Sun Dayong shouted in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, let's go drink, old thing...... No, no...... Father-in-law...... Ask us for money for drinks. I'm ...... And they smote him. Wan Yan Pingkang said busily.

Lin Jue sighed and said softly, "Sure enough." You drink other people's wine, but you don't pay for it, how can there be such a barbaric person as you in the world. You Jurchens invaded the land of my Great Zhou, deceived the people of my Great Zhou, killed people and set fire to clean up the bad things, all of them are damned people. Dayong, kill it, this kind of thing is not worthy of living in the world. ”

Lin Jue said that he walked towards the entrance of the alley, Wanyan Pingkang was stunned, and was about to beg for mercy, when he suddenly saw the cold light on his face, only to feel that his throat was cold, his head had flown out, and his corpse fell to the ground.

Sun Dayong wiped the blood stains on the long knife on the corpse, put the knife into the sheath, and followed Lin Jue with a step.
