Chapter 552: Unrest in the City
With the support of the Mongolian girl, Nuog was about to go out, and when she was about to go out, she did not forget to turn around and tell Wang Laohu: "My happiness is in your hands." β
Wang Laohu promised to stay here to rest, and did not promise to help her, which was really a dilemma.
At this time, there were only two people left in the room, and the middle-aged man invited Wang Laohu to sit down, and said slowly: "You shouldn't be Mongolian." β
It turned out that this middle-aged man had long seen that Wang Laohu was not a Mongolian, but he didn't come to expose him.
Wang Laohu smiled, that is, he did not refute him, nor did he admit it.
The middle-aged man also smiled and said, "Noge's marriage contract was made three years ago. The two lived in different tribes, but they had been in contact since childhood, both were children, and they did not have a good relationship with each other until they met again three years ago. The middle-aged man recalled what happened three years ago.
As the saying goes, "Eighteen changes in women's colleges". Nog Fifteen has grown slim, and his fiancΓ© and future in-laws happened to come to visit, the two have not seen each other since they met two years ago, and they had a very good impression of Nog as soon as they met, so they said it casually at the time, and later, they really came to say goodbye, and the matter was settled.
"Do you know who Norge is going to marry?" The middle-aged man asked.
The middle-aged man asked this, indicating that this person has a certain origin, or that this person has a certain status in the Mongolian steppe.
Seeing Wang Laohu listening carefully, the middle-aged man said: "The person who Nuoge is going to marry is the son of Bayatu, the prince of Alxa and the tribe. β
Bayatu, a name that Wang Laohu had also heard, had heard some stories about him from some Mongols, and he had seen him send people to rob's daughter-in-law.
"So this marriage can't be postponed, and it can't be postponed." The middle-aged man said.
When he heard this, Wang Laohu seemed to hear some of his helplessness, and he said these words to Wang Laohu, was it really because he believed that Wang Laohu was Nuoge's sweetheart?
A middle-aged man who has experienced so many things and has a wealth of life experience would not believe such nonsense. Wang Laohu never appeared in the grassland, he suddenly appeared in the tribe, what was the reason why this middle-aged man told him these words? Of course, Wang Laohu had to think about it clearly, the purpose of his trip was to meet the Great Khan, and the middle-aged man told Wang Laohu about this, what was the purpose?
Wang Laohu looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle, I can't hide it, I have only known Miss Nuoge for half a day, so you can't tell me these things." β
The middle-aged man smiled: "You are a sincere person, it can be regarded as fate, you and I will meet today, if the young man is fine, I hope you stay here for a few more days, let me do my best as a landlord." β
Wang Laohu didn't expect that although he didn't get along with the middle-aged man for a long time, he was still as enthusiastic about himself as Loeb. This reminded him of his helplessness when he just talked about Nog's marriage.
The middle-aged man once asked Wang Laohu to stay as his bodyguard, is it related to this incident?
But Wang Laohu should not expose himself at this time.
"Thank you for my uncle's kindness, if nothing happens, I'd love to spend a few days here."
"Young man, it seems that this matter is very urgent for you, I don't know what is going on with you that makes you want to leave in such a hurry."
"I'm just a little thing, don't talk about it. When I think about it, when I'm done, I'll come back to my uncle for a few more days. β
"I'm not reluctant, I think if you stay a few more days, you can eat my daughter's wedding wine."
The middle-aged man said that Noge's marriage would be held in these few days, and if he really stayed for a few days, he could really drink her wedding wine. "That's a pity, I'd love to have a Mongolian wedding party, but it's not the right time."
"Haha, I sent out an invitation, but the guy doesn't appreciate it?"
Vazhou City.
After the night finally passed the third watch, Xun Xue was hidden in the night, his eyes stared at the city gate not far away, this is the southeast gate of Vazhou City, it is the southeast city gate guarded by Qi Shun, here compared to the south city gate, the guards are relatively weak, he wants to go up to the city tower or branch some people may have this ability.
A small group of guards had just passed through the southeast gate, and according to the old custom, after this point, Qi Shun would leave the southeast gate, and his men would continue to guard the southeast gate.
Sure enough, Qi Shun explained a few words to his subordinates, and then left the southeast city gate.
Watching Qi Shun leave, Xun Xue's heart was alive, and he had already thought about what he wanted to do next.
Xun Xue walked towards the soldiers guarding the city, there was a large part of the soldiers on the city tower, there were only two people at the city gate at this time, and if another team of patrols came over, it would take one or two pillars of incense time, during this time, Xun Xue could do one thing well.
He walked towards the soldiers guarding the gates.
The soldiers on the tower stared at the outside of the city, and several soldiers at the gate saw a dark shadow coming towards them, so they said, "Who? β
Xun Xue said: "It's me, I can't sleep." β
He looked at the soldier with a tired face and said, "I can't sleep at the thought of fighting the Mongols again tomorrow, so I came out to see." β
"Don't worry, we're guarding here, nothing can happen." The young man who guarded the door said.
"I was thinking, you are working so hard, but we are all sleeping in the house, I really want to replace everyone and help you stand guard."
"Everyone just has a different division of labor, but the purpose is the same. We're on guard, and you're fighting tomorrow, risking your lives. β
"It's very important for you to guard the gates here, especially in the dead of night, if the Mongols attack at this time, we will suffer."
"Don't you say? I've heard that this is how Xiyang City was broken through by the Mongols. The young general said.
Xun Xue looked at both sides again, and then looked into the distance vigilantly, there was a dark shadow in the distance, at this time, no one should pass by here.
Xun Xue was a little relieved, there were only two people guarding the city gate, one was a junior general, and the other was a soldier, if the two people at the gate were solved, the city gate was opened, and the Mongols were let in, and their task would be completed.
It turned out that he had calculated this, and in the dead of night, he wanted to solve the weak gates, and then open them to meet the Mongols.
He had made up his mind, and a dagger had been quietly taken out by him, hidden behind him, and looked at the defenseless young general in front of him.
Before Xun Xue did this, he was still not at ease, he looked around again, there was no one, another soldier was guarding the city gate, and he didn't care about the situation on this side at all. This is an excellent opportunity, Xun Xue will not let go of this opportunity, no matter what happens later, he has to pass this level first.
Xun Xue took the dagger in his hand and still hid it behind him, from his hesitation, he had not fully made up his mind.
The young general did not know that danger was imminent at this time, and he still held on to the city gate as usual.
Xun Xue was hesitating, he was hesitating whether he could easily solve the two people at the door, whether he wanted to solve it at once, if he was discovered, he would be discovered, even if he was not killed by the Mongols, he would be killed.
At this time, the young general said to the soldiers on duty: "You watch first, I'll go to a small solution and come back immediately." β
The soldier responded, and the young general said to Xun Xue: "You wait for a while, I'll go to Xiaojie first." β
Xun Xue watched the young general leave the city gate humming a song, he thought that his real chance had come, and he raised the dagger in his hand.
The young general was still relieved, when he heard the people above the city tower shouting: "The Mongolian soldiers are coming, the Mongolian soldiers are coming." Startled by such a shout, he made a sudden brake, and hastily stopped, and ran to the city gate, for the city gate was where he was holding on.
The drums above the castle tower sounded, which was a signal of danger to the city. Someone attacked.
The young general hurriedly ran to the city gate, but he did not see the soldiers, he was strange, he raised his sword and approached, and found the soldiers standing in front of the city gates, as if they were about to open the city gates. At this moment, Xun Xue fell to the ground, his hand was injured, Xun Xue said: "General, you came just in time, he is going to open the city gate, go and stop him." β
The young general said: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, I didn't expect there to be traitors in the city." With that, he took his sword and walked forward.
The soldier seemed to ignore the young general, and still stood motionless in front of the city gate.
The young general stabbed at the soldier with a sword, the sword stabbed through his body, he still didn't move, and the young general seemed to find that the situation was not as Xun Xue said.
