Chapter 232: Soldiers Descend on the City
"Take care."
This is the last sentence Tao Yingying said when she left, maybe even she doesn't know if this sentence is said to Yang Yi or to herself.
Yang Yi can now be sure that the reason why Tao Yingying helped Tao He must have her unspeakable secrets. But now Yang Yi can't take care of it so much, and he still has a lot of things to do.
Yang Yi, who was sitting in the room, almost didn't sleep all night, his eyes widened and he watched the sky outside the window gradually light up.
When the monkey tip came to knock on the door, Yang Yi wiped the cold water in the basin on his face a few times, and the chill penetrated his brain, and he was immediately extremely sober.
Yang Yi wrung out the towel for washing his face, hung it on the dresser fairly, changed into a set of clean clothes and slowly walked out of the door.
"Childe." Monkey Jian'er, who was waiting at the door, saw Yang Yi come out and hurriedly greeted him.
Yang Yi glanced at the monkey tip, and saw that his eyes were also slightly red, and it was estimated that he hadn't slept all night, so he nodded and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
"Ready, the Di people should be almost there."
Yang Yi snorted, looked up at the reddish clouds in the sky, and said with a smile: "Today's weather is good, it's a sunny day, it's been rainy recently, Shu is damp and rotten, it's time to go to get rid of the moisture." ”
Monkey Jian'er hesitated and asked, "Is Childe sure?" ”
Yang Yi said with a smile: "At this time, whatever you talk about is a fart, the bride has been carried on the sedan chair, no matter how ugly she is, she has to be welcomed into the cave room." ”
Monkey Jian'er was amused by Yang Yi's analogy, nine nerds can't do anything, and their optimistic attitude is quite a bit of a general's style.
Yang Yi took a deep breath of the incomparably fresh air in the early morning, twisted his neck and said, "Let's go, go to the council hall and wait for our brides." ”
Yang Yi came to the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion alone and sat down, let Monkey Jian'er make a pot of tea, and drank it slowly.
When Yang Yi finished drinking the second pot of tea, there was a sharp sound of gongs striking outside, which was an early warning of an enemy attack on Connecticut City.
Yang Yi did not panic, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put down the teacup in his hand and began to close his eyes to recuperate, and the fingers that kept tapping on the coffee table showed that he was not so calm in his heart.
After a stick of incense, messy and hurried footsteps sounded outside the council hall, and someone hurriedly entered the city lord's mansion.
"General!!" Ma Youren arrived first before he could speak, and his tone was slightly nervous.
Yang Yi slowly opened his eyes, only to see that Ma You, who was wrapped in armor, had already strode in.
Ma Yousan came to Yang Yi in two steps, leaned over and bowed: "General! The Zhen people are coming! ”
Yang Yi stood up when he heard this, and said in a tone without fluctuation: "How many people are here?" Who is the leading general? ”
"At least fifteen thousand people, almost the whole army is dispatched, and the Chinese army is the banner of Shama Naigu, the great leader of the Zhen tribe!" After a pause, Ma You said again: "They have surrounded all the gates on the southeast, west and west sides of Connecticut City, General, Connecticut City is in danger!" ”
"Did the Zhen people attack the city?" Yang Yi asked.
Ma You paused for a moment and replied: "Not yet, but we have to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, and the last general suggested that while the people of the Zheng tribe have not blocked the north gate, they should immediately send a messenger to Chengzhou Mansion for help!" ”
Yang Yi did not respond to Ma You, but stood up with one hand, looked at Ma You, and said with a smile: "General Ma, I believe you also heard the news that I was assassinated by the Zhen people a few days ago, right?" ”
Ma You was shocked, a few days ago, there was indeed news that the city lord's mansion had encountered assassins, Ma You wanted to send troops into the city lord's mansion, but Yang Yi asked Monkey Jian'er and others to reject him, only saying that all the assassins had been caught, and it was no big deal.
But he didn't know why Yang Yi mentioned the assassin at this moment, Ma You hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, and I ask the general to surrender!" ”
Yang Yi stepped forward to help Ma You up, and said with a smile: "General Ma is too worried, I don't want to blame you, although the people of the Di tribe are cunning, they still don't want to hurt me in the slightest." ”
"What does the general mean...?" Ma You was puzzled.
Yang Yi returned to his seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "A few assassins were captured alive by me a few days ago, and after severe torture, these assassins confessed that there were still their internal responses in the city, and they were ready to wait for the Zhen army to attack the city, and the internal and external forces would open the city gate. ”
Ma You was shocked, cold sweat flowed on his back, if it was really as Yang Yi said, there were still spies of the Zhen people in the city, once the two armies fought, these people would come out to make trouble, and the consequences would be unimaginable, and he immediately said: "My subordinates immediately go to the whole city to search for them!" ”
"General Ma, slow down." Yang Yi summoned Ma You and said: "Don't panic, I have just sent a family general to the various city gates to pass the order, from now on, no one will be allowed to enter or leave the city gate without my permission, and those who violate the order will be killed on the spot." ”
Yang Yi paused for a moment, and then said, "Besides, I have some information here, which may help General Ma search for spies." ”
"General, please speak!"
"Actually, I've been looking for spies for a long time, but I haven't had a cause, because these spies are not from the Zhen tribe."
"Not a Zhen?" Ma You exclaimed.
"Yes, they are very likely to be from the Chengzhou Prefecture, and the time they entered Connecticut City was when I came here."
Ma You frowned and wondered: "How can there be people from Chengzhou Mansion who do internal response for the Zhen people?" ”
Yang Yi shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but just in case, I'd rather catch a mistake than let it go, if Connecticut City is lost, even if you and I escape, we will inevitably fall to the ground." ”
Ma You was stunned, Yang Yi was right, even if this kind of thing is wrong, it must not be careless, at this time, any unstable factors in the city may bring ruin to Connecticut City.
At that moment, Ma You no longer hesitated, and arched his hand: "The subordinates immediately lead people to search the whole city, and be sure to take down those people." ”
Yang Yi nodded, and reminded: "Those people must be acting suspiciously, and they may pretend to be Lord Tau's subordinates, when I came to Connecticut, Lord Tao had already told me to be careful." If someone pretends to be, then it must be a spy, and he will be beaten half to death first. ”
Yang Yixian took the lead in words, once he caught Tao He's people, no matter how they quibbled, they couldn't escape.
Ma You nodded solemnly, said no more, turned around and left quickly.
As soon as Ma Youfang left, Hu Shou walked straight in.
"Childe."
"How's it going?"
Hu Shou said softly: "According to our inquiries, this Ma You should not be from Tao He, he is a native of Connecticut Mansion, and he has almost nothing to do with Chengzhou Mansion. ”
Yang Yi nodded, and asked again, "What about the other generals?" ”
Hu Shou replied: "These days, we often drink with the generals of Connecticut City, and we find that most of the generals in Connecticut City are local to Connecticut or people from other state capitals, but there are very few people in Chengzhou Mansion. ”
