Chapter 038: Talking all night about receiving Bai Ren
When Xiang Cheng arrived in Luoyang, it was already the third watch. Luoyang, as the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was naturally heavily guarded, and the patrols of soldiers on the city wall did not give Xiang Cheng a chance to enter the city at all.
"Brother Xiang Cheng, why don't you kill the general and go in and rescue Ma Yuanyi?" Xiang Ji saw that Xiang Cheng had already walked around this Luoyang City twice, and then he spoke.
It's not that Xiang Cheng doesn't want to kill it, it's just that this Luoyang City is now as tight as an iron bucket, and Xiang Chengcheng wants to kill it, he has to find the gap in this iron bucket.
"Brother Yu, this Luoyang City is heavily defended, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city tonight." Xiang Cheng sighed and replied.
Xiang Ji was curious: "Why can't you enter the city?" ”
"Brother Yu, look, this Luoyang City is ten feet high, I can't climb it. Besides, the soldiers on this city wall can patrol ten times with a stick of incense, and we will be found even if we go up. Xiang Cheng's curiosity about Xiang Ji really had no choice, so he had to explain.
Xiang Ji was completely surprised after listening to Xiang Cheng's explanation: "Why should we go over the wall?" Just break down this gate and kill it! ”
Xiang Cheng almost fell off the horse after hearing this, his eyes were black, it turned out that the overlord planned to do so, if it was really a society, he couldn't afford to provoke it.
Without waiting for Xiang Cheng to reply, Xiang Ji continued: "Back then, a lonely man rode a halberd, rushed to the city, and smashed the city gate into powder in just three moves. You have obtained the true inheritance of loneliness, how can you be so cowardly! ”
Xiang Cheng felt sad in his heart, this city gate in Luoyang is made of pure iron, not to mention one person and one halberd, even a hundred people and a hundred halberds are afraid that this city gate will not be smashed into powder.
"Brother Yu, let's sleep outside the city tonight, there is no precedent for night executions in the Han Dynasty, and we will make a decision tomorrow when we enter the city gate." Xiang Cheng made up his mind not to listen to Xiang Ji's advice, turned over and dismounted, left a mark on the road, and went to clean up the sleeping place by himself.
The wind at night in January was bitingly cold, Xiang Cheng found a broken temple outside the city and cleaned it up, planning to spend the night here. Xiang Cheng cleaned up his place and cleaned up next to him, according to the speed of Gan Ning and Ma Zhong, this should be almost Luoyang.
As expected, when the place to stay was cleaned up, the sound of horses' hooves came to mind at the door of the temple. Listening to the sound, there were a total of three rides, and when Xiang Cheng was still wondering why he rode more, the door of the temple was pushed open.
In addition to Gan Ning and Ma Zhong, the extra horse should be the person who is now tied up, and this person is Bai Ren.
Xiang Cheng patted his head and forgot about Bai Ren. was about to get up to make room for him, but he didn't want Gan Ning and Ma Zhong to tie Bai Renchao's pillar firmly, and then came over to prepare for sleep.
Xiang Cheng can only say, if you want to play, you will play.
Bai Ren seemed to have no hope of his future life, and after being tied to the pillar, he neither cried nor made a noise. Xiang Cheng simply didn't care about him and went to sleep by himself.
Xiang Cheng pretended to have something in his heart, and he didn't sleep very well this night, and he dreamed that Ma Yuanyi was torn apart by a car. After waking up, he was half in a cold sweat, struggling to get up, but he saw Bai Ren who kept rubbing the rope on the pillar.
"Bai Ren, what are you doing?" Xiang Cheng scratched his head to sober himself up a little, and said casually.
Although this voice had a little bit of an aura that didn't wake up, it startled Bai Ren.
"Hey...... Hehe, I didn't do it, I didn't do it. Bai Ren stopped his movements and hurriedly smiled, for fear of annoying Xiang Cheng and slaughtering him on the spot.
Xiang Cheng didn't intend to pursue these things, if he wanted to kill Bai Ren, he could kill him as early as when he was in Shanyang, there was no need to drag it now. Xiang Cheng is still a relatively calm and rational person, at least his temperament is not capricious.
Looking at the sky, the sky at the door had just turned white, and it seemed that it was about midnight.
The gates of Luoyang are open and closed at the end of the day. The place where Xiang Cheng and the others were located was not far from the Luoyang City Gate, and it would only take ten minutes to ride a horse in the current time.
So now Xiang Cheng has nothing to do.
However, Xiang Cheng is a person who will make fun of himself, for example, now, Xiang Chengcheng plans to tease Bai Ren.
"Bai Ren, you said that you are the descendant of Guiguzi, do you know what I am thinking now?" Xiang Chengma asked with a murderous face.
Bai Ren, who was tied to the pillar, squeezed out an ugly smile, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Are you thinking about how to kill me." ”
Xiang Cheng rolled his eyes, what is this.
Xiang Cheng is not stupid, and even a little clever, how could he not know what Bai Ren thinks when he hears Bai Ren say this. But Xiang Cheng doesn't have time to play brain teasers here with Bai Ren now.
Bai Ren said this just to force Xiang Cheng not to kill himself.
Just imagine, if Xiang Cheng didn't react. said that I didn't think about this, does that prove that he didn't want to kill Bai Ren? Bai Ren also asked Xiang Cheng for an answer, and he could see that Xiang Cheng should be a person who believes in his word no matter what.
"Bai Ren, don't shake your cleverness, I won't kill you." Xiang Cheng was a little distracted, so he simply ignored Bai Ren.
Bai Ren saw that his shallot's name was recognized by Xiang Cheng, and smiled embarrassedly. There is an atmosphere in the air called "embarrassment".
In order to break this embarrassment, Bai Ren spoke.
"Are you worried about Ma Yuanyi?" Bai Ren asked cautiously.
On the way here, Gan Ning and Ma Zhong chatted quickly, and Bai Ren was pulled by these two people behind. Although there was wind in his ears most of the time, the content of Gan Ning Ma Zhong's chat also more or less penetrated into Bai Ren's ears.
Xiang Cheng looked at Bai Ren, and then said: "Yes, I calculated it for my brother, there was a catastrophe at the beginning of this year, and if you don't do it, you will die." ”
Xiang Cheng is now ready to wear the identity of this hanging master to the end.
Bai Ren was stunned, and remembered what Mr. once said when he was young. The world's arithmetic is all Zhou Yi.
And this week's easy math is the major of Guiguzi.
"Zhuangman, aren't you also my Guiguzi?" Bai Ren asked cautiously.
Xiang Cheng got up from the haystack, sat up straight, and said, "No, I learned from the great sage and good teacher. This number technique is called 'Wordless Heavenly Book'. ”
Xiang Cheng turned on the big flicker mode, and Xiang Ji sent out a painful feeling in the minds of the two. It's like saying, "This kid really can't hold up the wall." ”
Bai Ren sighed softly and continued, "I heard that General Zhonglang said something. Ma Yuanyi's crimes are heinous, and I am afraid that he will be beheaded tomorrow. ”
Xiang Cheng snorted lightly: "I don't know, it's just that I haven't been to this Luoyang City, but I can't save my brother if I want to......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Cheng turned his face and looked at Bai Ren with straight eyes, and Bai Ren was seen by this look and the hairs on his whole body stood up. Xiang Cheng's eyes were full of longing, with loss and recovery, with ruthlessness and determination.
"I ...... I...... I can't help you. Bai Ren stammered when he spoke.
Hearing Bai Ren say this, Xiang Cheng stood up suddenly, and held the Chu halberd that Zhang Jiao helped him make with his hand to the side.
Chu Ji pointed from afar, and the tip of the halberd was against Bai Ren's throat: "If you want to live, you have to help, and if you don't help, you have to help." ”
Xiang Cheng held Chu Ji's hand very steadily, without a trace of trembling. Now trembling is Bai Ren, who is tied to a pillar.
"Strong man, be merciful to your subordinates, be merciful to your subordinates. I'll help, I'll help. Bai Ren hurriedly replied.
Bai Ren let the cold sweat on his forehead flow down, because he was tied to the pillar and there was no way to wipe it. If he hadn't reacted quickly and hurriedly answered Xiang Cheng's question, he would have been afraid that he wouldn't even have a chance to sweat coldly.
Although Bai Ren was a Han soldier, he didn't seem to have much sense of belonging to the Han court because of his family reasons, but acted very casually. In addition, the Chu halberd that is now against his throat can be said to be stronger than people.
Bai Ren didn't want to die, he hadn't experienced this world of flowers yet. After helping this success, the Han court couldn't go back, but Bai Ren didn't care if he couldn't go back. When I go back, I'm just a little bit of a pen and knife.
"Hero, I heard that you are preparing to start an incident, isn't it a rumor?" Bai Ren saw Xiang Cheng take away the Chu halberd that was against his throat, and then asked.
Xiang Cheng thought for a while and replied: "Yes, 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious'!" This is what the great sage said. ”
"Zhuangshi, if I help you, you can't be a soldier of the Han Dynasty, are you willing to take me in?" After listening to Xiang Cheng's words, Bai Ren said hesitantly.
Xiang Cheng was full of thoughts about how to save Ma Yuanyi at this time, as long as he didn't ask Xiang CD too much, so Xiang Cheng nodded and replied: "As long as you are willing to help me, if I don't die, I will ensure your peace and happiness for the rest of your life." ”
Bai Ren's heart throbbed after hearing this, and he was about to bow down to Xiang Cheng. As a result, this worship was not completed, because Bai Ren was still tied.
For some reason, the air was full of "embarrassment".
Xiang Cheng helped Bai Ren untie the rope, and at this time, Gan Ning and Ma Zhong didn't wake up from this noisy conversation.
When everyone woke up, they went to the well at the door and washed themselves. Seeing the toothbrush Bai Ren made by Xiang Cheng, he couldn't help but be surprised. Of course, Gan Ning and Ma Zhong are already immune to the toothbrush, anyway, they feel that there is nothing that Xiang Cheng can't get.
After everyone washed up, several people sat in the temple and began to discuss the rescue operation against Ma Yuanyi. The dust on the ground of this temple was thick, and Bai Ren picked up a branch and drew a map of Luoyang's city defense on the ground.
This picture is very detailed, but it makes Xiang Cheng and Bai Ren impressed.
According to Bai Ren, Ma Yuanyi's crimes are heinous, so the place to ask and behead must be in Luoyang City, and the time should be noon.
However, the time when Ma Yuanyi arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market should be the hour, and he waited for a whole hour at the entrance of the vegetable market, and would only ask about the beheading when the surrounding crowd knew what this person had committed.
Therefore, when Xiang Cheng and a few people mixed into Luoyang City, there was still a lot of time to prepare.
The question now is, how many troops will be there at the time of execution, and if the prisoner is successful, which route should be taken to get out of the city, split up or go out of the city together? Is it to slip out, or to kill out?
