Chapter 46: Premeditated Assassination
"Ziyan, what do you want?"
"Now Qi Wannian looks very calm on the surface, but he can't have no idea at all, we don't know if he will be planning anything, this is also where you are anxious, the soldiers said that knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win a hundred victories, so I want to explore Xianyang City, to see what the people of Qi Wannian want, in case they have any premeditated plans, we should also be prepared, so as not to panic."
Zu Ti didn't want her to take risks, so he held her hand and said: "Ziyan, I also have this intention, but I won't let you go, it's too dangerous, although I know that you are very light, but after all, there are many rebels in the city, you can't go, I decided to sneak into the city alone tonight and investigate." ”
"Big brother, you forgot that I am your master, and light skills are naturally better than you, so it is most appropriate for me to go, don't worry, I will be fine." Jin Ziyan wanted to go alone in an invisibility cloak, so he looked very sure.
Zu Ti said: "No, no matter what, I won't let you go on an adventure alone, it's too dangerous in the city." ”
Jin Ziyan saw that he didn't agree, so she had to say, "If none of us are willing to give in, then the two of us will go together, so that we can take care of each other." ”
"Okay, we'll go tonight."
The two of them stopped talking, and Zu Ti told Meng Guan that he would go to the city alone to investigate at night, and Meng Guan agreed.
When Zu Ti returned to the tent, Yunru heard that Zu Ti was going to go to the city with Jin Ziyan at night, and she was jealous, and said, "Brother Zu, why don't we go to the city together......
Zu Ti stared at her and said, "Yunru, you're not joking, let me ask you, do you know martial arts, do you have light skills......
"Don't say it, I don't know anything, nothing can compare to Sister Jin! I'm good for nothing! Hum! Yunru slapped the table and kicked the stool as she spoke, playing with her temperament, Zu Ti had long been used to it, he lay down on his bed and said, "I want to rest." He pretended to close his eyes.
Yun Ru was so angry that she sat on her bed and ignored Zu Li.
Zu Ti knew that it would be fine for her to make trouble for a while, so he ignored her, and fell asleep with his clothes after a while.
At night, it was pitch black, without the slightest moonlight, the Wei River was flowing alone, the cold wind blew the banner hunting sound in the camp, it was late at night, the two figures did not alarm the night sergeant, both went out of the camp and came to the edge of Xianyang City.
They were Jin Ziyan and Zu Ti, and the two of them looked up from the corner of the north wall of the city, and saw the sergeant on duty at night patrolling back and forth, jumping up to the city through a gap, and immediately turned over and went down.
The people in Xianyang City were already ten rooms and six empty, and most of them fled, not to mention that it was late at night, and there was no one to see at all.
The two of them came to spy on the military situation, so they naturally wanted to go to the military camp, after Qi Wannian occupied Xianyang, they did not camp at all, and they lived in the houses of the people who were forcibly occupied, of course, they would be very scattered, so it was not easy to find the target to spy on the military situation.
At this time, two groups of sergeants on the night patrol came from two directions with torches, and the two of them immediately jumped up to the house, and crossed several rows to observe the situation, when they noticed a bright light in the house in front of them, and came to the roof of the house.
This is a courtyard house, a shed in the courtyard, there are a lot of pots and pans, as well as grain, Zu Ti judged that this is the residence of a gang leader of the rebel army, and it should not be of much value.
Zu Ti motioned to Jin Ziyan to stay before he could find a general or Qi Wannian's station.
Just about to leave, Jin Ziyan pointed out from the room with a finger of her hand, two sergeants walked out of the room, one was older and the other was young, and the young one muttered: "It's tiring enough to do it for a day, and you have to deliver food and eat at night, it's really sick, what is the training at night, they are not afraid of freezing, but it hurts us." ”
"You kid be careful when you speak, it's strange if the captain doesn't hit you in the mouth when he hears it, who made us the leader of the army, this is nothing, if the army sets off, say that the third watch will also get up early to eat, don't say some, go to hot rice, we will come back to sleep after we send it." Elder sermons.
As soon as Zu Ti heard that they were going to deliver food, as if there was some training at night, he wondered in his heart, it was freezing on this day, what were Qi Wannian's people doing, it seemed that they must have a secret plan, so they must go to see the situation.
Zu Ti and the two waited for the two sergeants to warm up the meal, then loaded it into a cart, put all the dishes and chopsticks and pushed the cart out of the door.
The two of them followed all the way on the roof, and after walking for a long time, they saw a bright light in front of them, and Zu Ti knew that it should be a place for training, so they crossed the sergeant and came to a place with a bright light in advance.
This is the place where Qi Wannian piles hay, the ground is open, under the illumination of a few lanterns, you can see rows of hay neatly stacked, in an open space, there are about a hundred people dressed in black, with tight sleeves and legs, doing all kinds of actions.
Zu Ti and the two jumped on a pile of hay, lying on the top and looking down, these people did not wear armor, they all had a willow leaf scimitar stuck in their backs, masked, the person standing in front of them, Zu Ti recognized it as Himiko, because when he was competing in the Luoyang school field, he saw Liu Yao once took her.
Zu Ti thought to himself, what are these people doing in strange clothes, and what kind of character is Himiko?
At this time, the food delivery came, and Himiko ordered them to eat, and the two sergeants served the meal in turn, and the two sergeants pushed the cart back.
At this time, a hundred people lined up again, and Himiko began to speak: "After these few days of training, I have taught you all the two skills of ninjas, and now I want to test them to see if you can handle tomorrow's mission." ”
When Zu Ti heard about tomorrow's mission, he thought that he had really discovered something, and he wanted to hear what they were going to do.
Himiko pointed to a person in front of him with his hand, "You come out." ”
The man stepped forward and exclaimed, "Invisibility!" ”
The man raised his middle finger and read in his mouth: "Qiwa Dewa ......" and then the person disappeared, Zu Ti said in his heart, it turned out to be a ninja, remember that the last time he came to Guanzhong, there was a ninja who wanted to assassinate General Zhou, is this person Himiko?
Himi shouted, "Show up!" ”
The man immediately came out of the ground, and Zu Ti said in his heart, obediently, what a powerful ninjutsu!
Himiko said again, "Show me another doppelganger technique." ”
The man crossed his hands and said, "Kiva Deva ......," and saw five or six ninjas who looked exactly like him beside him.
Himiko called another man out of the ranks, and said, "Go and find out his false form." ”
The man pulled out his knife and walked in front of the five or six ninjas, and after a brief look, he even stabbed the ninja with the killer, only to see that the man's doppelganger disappeared without a trace after the move, and Himiko said with satisfaction: "Okay, you two have passed the test, the next one." ”
Himiko tested everyone, and only three unqualified ones were eliminated, and she said, "You have all passed the test and can carry out the tasks assigned by the emperor." ”
Someone asked, "What is the mission?" ”
"That's the case, the emperor trained you just to let you do an earth-shattering thing, assassinate the chief general of the Jin army and a member of the army beside him, the main general Meng Guan You have all seen, you don't know who it is when you join the army, I tell you, his name is Zu Ti, I will show you a portrait, and when you see this person, you will take his life no matter what!" Himihu took a portrait and asked them to show it.
"When will you do it?"
"Tomorrow night, you go to the camp with me, and you have to carefully watch the location of the Chinese military tent during the day tomorrow, as for Zu Li, I think as long as Meng Guan is attacked, Zu Li will definitely make a move, and it will not be difficult to find him."
"Yes!"
"Spread out!"
Seeing that all these men and Himiko had dispersed, Zu Ti jumped off the haystack, and in order to take a shortcut, they decided to go out through the south gate.
The two of them have not yet walked out of the grassland, although their feet are light, but they still accidentally touched a person, that person should be a sergeant on duty at night, the spear leaned on the grass, sat on the ground by himself, and made a half-lying position, obviously he was lazy to sleep when the foot stretched out on the aisle was touched by the two of them, only to see the sergeant stand up suddenly, his hands made a pinching appearance, and said: "I caught it, I caught it!" ”
