Chapter 1132: The West City Gate
"W-what's going on?" The Keeper asked in confusion, noticing that Ma Xiaoqi's face had turned pale. The military attache sneered and pointed to a certain place between the big urns, and the door commander looked up, and found that there was a corner of cloth exposed, and then looked carefully, and found that there was a person hidden between the big urns!
This man has good intentions to hide. He made two holes in the underside of the two large urns placed side by side, and then got his whole body into it, his half-bent upper body in one urn, and his legs folded into the other urn. The two urns are so close to each other that you can't see the flaws at all if you don't look closely.
The doorman was startled, and immediately clenched his spear and shouted at the big urn: "You! Come out!! Other soldiers also ran over and surrounded the ox carts. The urn shook a little, and a soldier took a sledgehammer and smashed it. only heard a "bang", the big urn cracked into several pieces, and Xi Zhi, who had nowhere to hide, embarrassedly retracted his feet from the other urn, and then stood up.
"Sure enough, there are spies!" The door guard jumped in annoyance, turned his head and glared at Ma Xiaoqi fiercely, and ordered the two of them to be tied up. The military attache stroked his beard like a steel needle with satisfaction, expressing satisfaction with the efficiency of the guard.
"This time thanks to the lord, otherwise there will be a big mess......" The warden said respectfully to the military attaché, bowed, straightened up and ordered: "Escort these two spies to the county office!" ”
"Wait." The military attache stretched out his hand and motioned to them not to move yet, "You don't know, the general has an order, once a spy is discovered, he must be immediately sent to a special place for trial." ”
The warden nodded repeatedly, which was understandable.
"Well, then, please open the gates."
"Huh?" The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, "You're not going to the garrison barracks......"
The military attache took a step closer to the city gate with his horse, and smiled triumphantly as a secret bureaucreat. That smile matched his rugged face, there was a kind of shock that made people fear and believe: "You don't know this, in order to ensure that the secret is not leaked, Lord Wei Yan specially designated the camp in the west of the city as the interrogation location." We're going to take these two spies right there. It's good that you know this, don't tell anyone about it. ”
There is indeed a garrison of Wei Yan's army in the city, but there are only 3,000 elite soldiers of the Ma family at the city gate. The iron-blooded army that can really conquer and fight, but in order not to disturb the people, it has been stationed outside the city. The warden knew this. However, he still licked his lips, still a little hesitant: "Can ...... Military Order......"
"The purpose of martial law is to prevent the spy from escaping, and now that the spy has been caught by you, the purpose of martial law has been achieved. What are you worried about? The military attache deliberately bit the words "caught by you" very clearly, indicating that he had no intention of taking credit, implying that the commander of the gate had made a great contribution.
The commander of the gate grabbed his scalp, this military attaché's hint was indeed a big temptation, and the other party's reason was completely logical. However, until this time, he still had a trace of doubt. The military attache saw that the commander of the gate was so ink, his face was a little annoyed, and he asked in a confidential and angry tone in a low voice, "Do you want to hand over these two people to that Yang Xiu?" ”
"This? ...... "What grade does the door guard look like, how does he know who Yang Xiu is?"
"Let me tell you, my general is very disgusted with that Yang Xiu. A small civil official, relying on the support of the lord, actually pointed fingers at our military camp. Thinking that if this city left him, our general would not be able to hold these two spies?! The military attache was already faintly angry when he said this, and finally simply said: "Give me these two people, I won't be greedy for your merits, you may join the Ma family army because of your merits." But if you insist on handing it over to the county government's lord, then don't blame me for closing the city gate and changing the military order without authorization! ”
This soft and hard, deceptive and deceitful, immediately broke through the guard's mental defense. He quickly turned around and raised his right hand, and ordered the gatekeeper to remove the rung, remove the horse barrier, and push the right gate to open a passage for two horses to enter and exit. The military attache escorted Xi Zhicai and Ma Xiaoqi out one after another, and when he went out of the city gate, he even kicked Xi Zhicai.
Before leaving, when he passed by, he did not forget to softly curry favor with the military attaché, signaling him not to forget to say that he had caught these two spies.
Until the three of them left, the doorman was in a bright mood. The soldiers on the side saw that the gatekeeper had made a great contribution, and they also happily let go of the city gate and chatted around the gatekeeper.
"Boss, now that you're developed, don't forget us old fellows in the future."
"With this kind of credit, after joining the Ma Jiajun, you must be able to get a captain, right? Although he is not as noble as the guy just now, it is okay to get us into the Ma Jiajun, right? ”
"That is, I heard that the treatment of Ma Jiajun is much higher than that of us county soldiers. Looking at what the man was wearing just now, how majestic he was, I thought he was a general at first glance, but I didn't expect a personal captain to have such equipment......"
"yes, but then again, I'm afraid that person will pick on the thirty of us alone, right? I knew that I should have worshipped him, maybe I could make a good impression, but I don't know what people's names are, and whether I can see them in the future......"
The gatekeeper had pretended to be humble and happy to accept the congratulations of these colleagues before, but when he heard the last sentence, his face changed, and he stood up suddenly: "It's not good, we have been deceived!" If that person is really Lord Wei's personal companion, why didn't he even leave a name?! ”
The next moment, the hoofs rumbled on the Suzaku road, and a strong army rushed towards it in full gear. There were not many people on the streets, so these people let go of their speed, and their skillful riding skills made these gatekeepers envious. The current general, Zitang square face, a steel light armor shining in the sun, although the weather is hot, his face does not even have half a drop of sweat. However, the bruised tendons on his forehead made the warden see that the general was already extremely angry!
"What are you guys doing here?!" Wei Yan grabbed the war horse, waved his hand and wanted to whip the soldiers in front of him: "I strictly ordered you to check the city gate, are you just opening the city gate wide open and sitting around a bunch of checks?!" ”
The whip of 'snap' had already been whipped on the face of the door commander, and the force was so great that it directly whipped the door commander to a stumble. Seeing this, the soldiers on the side immediately knelt down and explained: "General, the spy has been caught, and your personal captain has been sent to the military camp outside the city!" ”
"Fart!" As soon as Wei Yan heard this, he could already hear that something was wrong: "I'm in the city, why do I want to send it outside the city if I catch a spy!" ”
"Say that you don't want to share the credit with that Yang Xiu, give him a look on his face......"
"I'll go to you......" Wei Yan's temper came up at once, and he stretched out his hand and whipped him to kill this soldier who didn't have long brains. But as soon as he raised his arm, he felt that he was hindered, and Yang Xiudeng, who was beside him, was tilted by Wei Yan's fierce force.
"General Wei, forget it, the two of us don't agree with each other, and we have already been exploited by Xi Zhicai......" Yang Xiu's face was gloomy, and at this time he knew where the gap between himself and those who really provoked one side of the strategist was.
From the beginning to the end, Xi Zhicai has always controlled the rhythm, any unsightly information. They were all analyzed and used by him in actual combat, but they were too unguardable and difficult to defeat......
"Well, I don't want to know the specifics. Tell me, which direction did those two men and one woman go? Before Ma Chao left, he told Yang Xiu that there were three people in the secret room, and judged that one of them was a woman.
"Woman, woman?" The doorkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said, "There are no women, it's three men......."
Yang Xiu's face turned extremely pale, and he suddenly felt a faint pain in his heart. And Wei Yan's face was already black to the bottom of the pot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We have been tricked again!" ”
Sure enough, a light cavalry came and shouted breathlessly: "General, it's not good, a woman at the West City Gate attacked and killed our soldiers with a hard crossbow and fled!" ”
