Text Section 312 Secret Mission
Lu Mu and Mo Kun looked at the granary that was burning with fire, and their faces were very solemn. The other one was fine, but it was extinguished after just burning a house. But the heavily guarded granary could be easily touched in, which shocked Mo Kun and Lu Mu.
At this time, the sky was not yet light, and the raging fire in the city reflected half of the sky. The streets and alleys were full of soldiers and horses running back and forth, and from time to time there were orders and answers. After all, there are many people in the battalions of the two armies, and they don't know each other at all. In addition to the password, the temporary level must also verify the ownership of each other.
In a dark alley, five guards ran out of breath, they were the heralds of the West Vietnamese battalion. After all, the horn can only convey simple instructions, and the specific matters need to be conveyed by the heralds themselves. Especially in such chaotic situations, the role of the herald is very important. The five men found the nearest path and prepared to rush to their respective destinations. However, the five heralds crossed the alley, but only four remained. Due to the darkness and confusion, the other four heralds on the run did not realize that a brother was missing behind them.
A short time later, a small herald stepped out from the other end of the alley. Ah Zhu looked at this ill-fitting military uniform, so he could only borrow it. Azhu's face was a little pale, and the arrows on her shoulder armor were cut off by her knife, and one of them remained in her body. The guard's clothing covered the blood stains on Azhu's body, and Azhu lowered his head and quickly ran towards the city wall.
Along the way, there were thousands of general commanders and even patrol generals everywhere, constantly shouting orders to command their own people. Even at the temporary checkpoint, there are a lot of guards, who are checking their identities one by one. But no one dared to stop the heralds. Because the herald is a special existence in any battalion, if a major event is delayed, the blocking checkpoint will be punished by military law.
Azhu came all the way to the city wall, and ran towards the city with his head down. The guards around them saw that Azhu was wearing the clothes of a herald, and thought that she was looking for the general to convey instructions, so they hurriedly dodged to both sides. If they get in the way of delivering military orders, they won't be able to eat and walk around.
On the city wall, Azhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Even if someone is interrogating now, it's a big deal that she can still escape from Melan City if she jumps down. Ah Zhu did not run to the place where the generals of the city gate tower gathered, but ran along the city wall to the corner. Aju knew that if he jumped down from the city gate, he would definitely be pursued. She was already wounded, and if she was pursued after leaving the city, she probably wouldn't be able to run far. If he jumped away from the city gate, even if the other party went out of the city to pursue, Azhu would have time to find a place to hide.
"Stop, pass!" Suddenly, a standard commander stopped Azhu.
"Extinguish the fire!"
Azhu listened too much along the way, and replied casually.
"Which herald are you from, and who are you looking for on the wall? Why don't you go to the city gate tower, why do you run this way? ”
The standard commander looked at Ah Zhu, and when he heard Ah Zhu's 'sissy' answer, his eyes were full of contempt. In fact, this standard commander is also kind, he did not doubt Azhu's identity. I just think that this herald may have run in the wrong direction in a panic, and the generals are basically in the city gate tower, and he is running farther and farther.
Ah Zhu glanced at it, and said angrily in a thick voice, "Get out of the way, you have delayed the big thing, can you bear it." ”
"Shout, little raw melon eggs, dare to play tricks with Lao Tzu. Do you know who Lao Tzu is, when he followed Han Shuai, Lao Tzu entered the heavy armor ride. Damn, kindly reminded you that you ran in the wrong direction, and you dared to threaten Lao Tzu. Thou of fine skin and tender flesh, have you ever seen blood? Boy, hurry up and apologize to Lao Tzu, or believe it or not, I'll whip you. Biao Tong pinched his waist and glared at Azhu.
When Ah Zhu heard this, he knew that this person had not seen through his identity, and he was slightly relieved in his heart. Ah Zhu was just about to say a few polite words to the past, when he suddenly heard a question not far behind him.
"Huang Liu, what's the matter, what is this person doing?"
The standard was stunned, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "General Qiqi Sun, this little recruit ran in the wrong direction, I kindly reminded him that this kid still doesn't appreciate it." ”
Ah Zhu's heart trembled, she heard that it was Sun Laicheng, the general of Western Vietnam, who came later. His outfit itself is the costume of the Western Vietnamese herald, but others can be confused, facing the Western Vietnamese general Sun Laicheng, Ah Zhu knows that this time he is going to be exposed. Taking advantage of Sun Laicheng's preoccupation yet, Ah Zhu suddenly pushed away the standard system in front of him, ran to the edge of the arrow stack in a few steps, and jumped down.
"Ah~he~ what's him?" Biao Tong opened his mouth in shock, and said that this little recruit was crazy.
Sun Laicheng also hurriedly ran over. Because of the darkness of the sky, it was impossible to see what was going on in the city.
Biao Tong had a bitter face, and hurriedly retorted, "General, the little one just scared him, and he didn't want to hit someone." Who knows, this kid was not scared, and actually jumped off by himself~. ”
Biao Tong was a little frightened and overwhelmed, thinking that it was his own intimidation that scared the herald into jumping off the city and committing suicide.
"Bastard! This person is not a guard in our army at all, and he is here to shoot arrows at the city. Sun Laicheng reprimanded angrily and immediately ordered someone to shoot arrows.
Under the city wall, Azhu rolled on the spot when he landed, and there was a sharp pain in his shoulder armor. Azhu didn't dare to stop, took a breath, and quickly ran into the distance. Fortunately, Azhu did it in one go, and as soon as he ran far, the arrows behind him fell one after another.
As soon as he left the city, Azhu was like a fish returning to the sea. Arrow wounds on shoulder armor are nothing at all for people on the battlefield. Some of the guards came out with their bowels, and they still carried swords to slash and kill the enemy. It's just that due to excessive blood loss, Azhu feels a little dizzy. She knew that she had to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise she would definitely get dizzy on the road if she continued like this.
Ah Zhu left Molan City without danger, and Duan Lang and the others didn't have this opportunity. What's more, they are about 20 people, and if they want to pretend to be that team of soldiers and horses, they will be strictly interrogated. What's more, Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others' long knives were too conspicuous, and unless they forcibly fought out, they could only hide them temporarily.
Molan City was originally the land of the Wind Pavilion, but since Jia Sizhi, the master of the Caitang Hall, and Wu Gan, the master of the Torture Hall, were killed, this place has become Duan Lang's property. Jiang Zhuming was very smart and did not confiscate this place and report it to the court, but transferred it to Duan Lang's name in the name of the government office. But now that the war is raging, all kinds of industries are in ruins.
Han Feng took Duan Lang and the others to the dilapidated courtyard on the right side of Tingfeng Pavilion. Gu Fan Xiangtian and the other eighteen guards were cautiously guarding the surroundings, and there was already a constant noise outside, and someone was searching for him.
"Quick, follow me."
Han Feng greeted and took the lead in entering a room where people lived in the side room. No one would have thought that there was actually a secret room hidden in this very ordinary subordinate house. At the beginning, Han Feng also searched many times before he stumbled upon this secret room. The bottles and cans stored inside are all bottles and cans developed by Sado. These things were burned and buried by Han Feng, and he was afraid that these poisonous substances would spread out and harm people.
As soon as the secret door of the secret room was closed, a group of guards came to the courtyard. The guards held their torches high and searched carefully. The courtyard was already very dilapidated, and seeing that there were still cobwebs hanging on the door of the main hall, the leader of the team waved his hand and searched for another place.
The secret room was not large, and twenty people were slightly cramped. However, the ventilation set up by Sado is very clever, and the inside does not look dull. Duan Lang closed his eyes and listened quietly, until the guards outside walked away, Duan Lang said worriedly.
"Seventh uncle, on the way here just now, I saw a fire in another granary, it should be that Azhu has already succeeded. However, there are many soldiers and horses in the city, and I don't know if Azhu can hide from it. You hide here first, and I'll go out and look for Azhu. ”
"Duan Lang, don't worry about Miss Zhu, when it comes to hidden skills, there is no one better than her among us. Along the way, I've carved code words in stone. After Azhu saw it, he should know how to meet us. Everyone still calmed down and waited until dawn to make plans. Perhaps, we will have to stay in the city for two days. After burning down their largest granary, Mo Kun and Na Lu Mu will also go crazy, and they will definitely search for it. Han Feng said.
Duan Lang thought for a while, "Okay, I'll go out first and greet Da Fei over." First, let Da Fei inform Mingyue that she had succeeded, so that she could calm down, and also let Da Fei look for Azhu in the city. Seventh uncle, can there be pen and ink here? ”
"Yes, I also have a lot of sun-dried pancakes stored in the secret room, enough for us to hide for a few days." Han Feng said, taking out pen and ink in a wooden box in the corner.
Duan Lang wrote a few lines crookedly and folded them. Han Feng opened the secret door of the secret room, and Duan Lang walked out.
Duan Lang's hearing was sharp, although the city was very noisy, he could hear that there were no guards nearby to search. Standing in the courtyard, Duan Lang blew a string of birdsong into the air. After a while, a black shadow fell in the air, and Duan Lang stretched out his arm to catch Da Fei.
"Da Fei, two things, first, bring the letter to Mingyue. Second, after dawn, Azhu may send out a call to contact you. You also need to be safe, and be careful not to let the guards shoot you down. Plus, we're hiding underground. You can look around after daylight and I can hear you chirping. Duan Lang said, stuffing the folded hands into the bamboo tube on the big flying leg.
Da Fei whispered twice and flapped his wings away. Seeing Da Fei move away, Duan Lang did not immediately return to the secret room, but observed nearby. Duan Lang had to prepare for the worst, in case the secret room was discovered, they could only fight out. Just like in the mountains and forests, Duan Lang had to be familiar with the nearby terrain.
In the Marshal Mansion of Molan City, Mo Kun and Lu Mu frowned, listening to the detailed statement of the commander of the granary guard. When they heard that the person who set fire to kill was holding a long knife, Mo Kun and Lu Mu's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Eighteen slashes in the capital city?" The two said almost at the same time.
"Master Mo, these big fish must not be let go. When I followed Han Shuai on the expedition to Great Xia, Han Shuai attached great importance to these eighteen people. Han Shuai once said that the eighteen people under Duan Lang are comparable to the eighteen generals of my West Vietnam. Although nominally these eighteen people are still Duan Lang's personal entourage, their status is by no means inferior to that of any general. Lu Mu said.
"Yes, I exchanged a granary of my army for eighteen slashes in the capital, and this transaction is worth it. From now on, strengthen the walls and defenses, and not even a fly will fly out. Divide the city into several sections, and look for them little by little, and I don't believe that they can be hidden forever. ”
When Mo Kun and Lu Mu learned that it was Eighteen Slash who had personally infiltrated Molan City and set it on fire, they felt that Duan Lang was simply crazy. You must know that the role of a fierce general in the army is by no means inferior to that of a soldier. What's more, the eighteen slashes in the capital city are powerful in the world, if all of them are arrested, their merits are comparable to winning a small-scale battle. If they knew that Duan Lang was also among them, they would probably be able to laugh out loud in their dreams.
The sky brightened, and the fire in the granary was finally extinguished. The tired guards in the city, one by one, staggered listlessly, and each found a place to rest. In Mokun's handsome tent, Ying Shoushan, who has been busy all night, is accepting a special mission.
Mo Kun looked at the beloved disciple in front of him, and solemnly admonished, "Shoushan, after arriving at Yixiang City, all the hidden people there are at your disposal. Remember, always take care of your own safety. As a last resort, don't show your head, and leave all negotiations to others. Until the last moment of success, you reappear and sign an agreement with it. The personal seals of my and Lu Mu are all handed over to you, which is enough to prove the weight of your words. ”
"The teacher can rest assured, and the mountain will never live up to the teacher's trust." Ying Shoushan said, carefully putting away the letter signed by Mo Kun and Lu Mu to Deguang.
Mo Kun nodded, "I have asked Pingdu to personally lead people to clean up the eyeliner outside the city, and you guys will take a detour to Yixiang City in civilian clothes." In the unlikely event of an interrogation, be careful to deal with it. ”
"Students understand." Ying Shoushan said with his fists clenched.
Mo Kun told him again, and then asked Ying Shoushan to go back and prepare. Outside Molan City, Zhao Pingdu personally led the people to search layer by layer, not letting go of any hidden place. Half an hour later, Zhao Pingdu believed that there were no scouts to hide, so he sent a signal to the city. Ying Shoushan was dressed in civilian clothes and rushed out of the city gate with only four entourage. Don't look at the fact that he only brought four entourages, but these four people were Mo Kun's personal guards. Due to the presence of Duan Lang's army in Xiangjun, Ying Shoushan could only detour to the north to Yixiang City.
At this time, in Xiangjun County, the generals learned that Duan Lang was already in danger. In the tent, all the generals complained one after another, complaining that the military division Mingyue did not stop him. Together with Zhou Long, who was recuperating from his injuries, he also came to the Shuai tent when he heard the news.
"Mingyue Military Division, such a big matter, how can you not discuss it with us and the others. Now that Duan Shuai is trapped, in case of an accident, can you bear this responsibility? Zhou Long looked at the Mingyue and asked in a serious tone.
Seeing the generals glaring angrily one by one, Tantai Mingyue was not angry, but was relieved that the generals were worried about her husband's safety. You must know that Mingyue has already established a high prestige in the army, and now these people dare to speak out despite her coercion, which is enough to explain the brotherhood between her and Duan Lang.
Yutai Mingyue glanced at the generals, "Everyone, although this matter is a heavy responsibility, Da Fei has already sent news, and Duan Lang and Master and the others are okay for the time being." After burning down the granary, they hid in a safe place. Calm down, I believe that in less than two days, they will be able to kill it. With the ability of these people to the sky, the walls of the capital city could not stop them. In addition, this determination cannot be stopped by our own division. Because ~ it is our Lord Shangguan's strong support. ”
Tantai Mingyue said, glancing at the listless Zhang Ruming. The eyes of the generals suddenly stared at Zhang Ruming.
"Look at what I'm doing, I don't know who the to talk to. So far, Da Fei only said that Duan Lang's kid was safe, but my family Zhu Zhu has not heard from him until now. Grandma's, don't wait, our troops, Lao Tzu is going to attack Melan City. Come and beat the drum to raise the tent. Zhang Ruming said with teeth and claws.
Yutai Mingyue glanced at Zhang Ruming, "This is the big tent of the Chinese army, not your Heavenly Master Altar." No one can use it without my orders~! ”
As soon as Yutai Mingyue said this, she watched the curtain lift, and a petite body staggered in.
"Azhu~?" Yutai Mingyue looked at the petite body in the Xiyue military uniform at the account gate in surprise.
Azhu had already removed his helmet, and his hair was scattered over his shoulders. All the generals turned their heads one after another, Zhang Ruming opened his mouth wide, and when he saw that Azhu's robe was red, he hurriedly ran over.
"Zhu Zhu, you~ Are you injured?"
Ah Zhu smiled palely, looked at Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, the task is complete~ I'm back." ”
"Quick, go and call Ankang." Tantai Mingyue saw that Azhu was injured, and hurriedly ordered.
"Zhu Zhu, where did you get hurt?" Zhang Ruming asked worriedly.
"It's not a big deal, it's just an arrow in the shoulder armor, a small injury."
"Ah~, no, I have to treat this place myself. Let's go back to our room. Someone, go and bring all the medicine to my room. ”
Zhang Ruming didn't say a word, and pulled Azhu out. Ah Zhu smiled at Mingyue awkwardly, her injury was really not a place, it was too close to her chest, no wonder Zhang Ruming wanted to treat it personally.
When I heard that it was just an arrow in the shoulder armor, all the generals who were used to seeing the big scene were relieved. Azhu's return also made Tai Mingyue feel relieved. Don't look at what Mingyue said to the generals very easily, ensuring that Duan Lang and the others can be killed. But she was also a little nervous in her heart. Mingyue was worried that if Mokun Lu Mu learned that Duan Lang was hiding in the city, he was afraid that he would dig Duan Lang out one by one.
Just as Tai Mingyue worried, although there was no excavation in the city of Molan, it also divided the city into several pieces with soldiers and horses. Rows of guards, armed with spears and knives, cautiously searched one by one. With this density of searching, let alone hiding people, not even a wild cat can hide.
In the secret room, Duan Lang didn't need to go out at all, he heard Da Fei's chirp. This was the second time that Da Fei had flown from Xiangjun, and Duan Lang was finally relieved to learn that Azhu had returned.
Duan Lang looked at Han Feng and said, "Seventh Uncle, Ah Zhu has returned safely. Da Fei said that there are many people outside, and it is estimated that Mokun Lu Mu is also anxious, and he does not hesitate to use all his forces to search for our whereabouts. If this place is discovered, we will break through to the west. It is inconvenient to carry out large-scale kills in the city, and the western wall is relatively low, so you can only break through from there. ”
Han Feng looked at everyone and said to Duan Lang, "This place is very cleverly arranged, even if you tear down the house, you won't find the secret room underground." Let's stay calm and let's hide for a few days. The soldiers and horses outside are highly vigilant, and there are always times when they are tired. Even if we kill it, we can't act during the day. ”
Duan Lang nodded, "Then settle here for a few days first, they will be very cautious in the past two days." Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others all used long knives, and it is estimated that Mokun Lu Mu guessed that it was a few of them who entered the city. When night fell, I went out and asked Da Fei to tell Mingyue to create an illusion. Let the scouts of Mokun and Lu Mu see Xiang Tian and the others appear in the army, and they should withdraw the search mission. ”
"Well, that's fine. Just look for a few similar guards with long knives, and you won't find out if you don't get close. ”
Duan Lang nodded, his ears moved, and he heard that someone was searching outside. Duan Lang signaled to everyone, and Xiang Tian and the others immediately picked up their weapons to guard against the moment when the secret room was discovered.
Just when Molan City mobilized all its forces to search for the eighteen beheadings of Lidu City, Ying Shoushan took four followers, bypassed Xiangxiang County, and quickly rushed towards Yixiang City. Ying Shoushan knew that this trip was a heavy responsibility, and once an agreement was reached with Yixiang City secretly, the balance of this decisive battle would be completely reversed to the side of the coalition army.
