Chapter 13: The Mist

The city of Binh Duong looks like everything is as it has been, caravans enter and exit the city gates, the bazaars are crowded, restaurants are full, and brothels are full of laughter.

Until the time of day, just after the city gates, the gates were closed.

After the lieutenant chief, the first chief, and the team leader conveyed the ban on closing the door one by one, the entire Pingyang City began to fall silent, and the unusual ban shrouded the quiet Pingyang City in a tense atmosphere.

The doors of the houses were closed, and even loud calls could not be heard, only the barking of dogs and chickens sounded in the streets.

Tang Xidong stood in the courtyard of the intelligence bureau, and he wondered if the spies and border troops who should have discovered the exposure would move in advance.

But the whole city was still quiet.

The other party's composure made the uneasiness in Tang Xidong's heart rise again, what was wrong?

But apparently, there is no answer.

The other party can't find out the strangeness of Pingyang City, and find that the matter is revealed, if there is no chaos in advance, it will inevitably continue to lurk, but Tang Xidong believes that the person in charge of the other party will not be able to see the situation in front of him clearly, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it will be to Tang Xidong, Cao Ran is still leading people to investigate, after the spies lurking in the relevant caravan are pulled out, I believe that the person who is close to the real person in charge is getting closer and closer, but why, the other party is still so calm, as if nothing has happened?

All kinds of suspicions in his heart made Tang Xidong gradually unable to see the situation in front of him.

The four city gates were closed, and the guards on the city wall were quietly guarding and defending, and these guards were all the original young and strong people on Luoliang Mountain, which reassured Tang Xidong the most.

Halfway through the hour, a large number of troops appeared under the city gate, and the fire flickered in the distance, and the first one waved three long and two short torches, and then the city responded, and then a group of silent troops approached the city, and climbed up silently one by one from the ropes laid down from the city.

The first to go to the city was Li Shangquan, and then there were groups of soldiers of the New Army.

The detachments of the new army silently gathered at the city wall with their weapons on their backs, and climbed up from under the city wall in groups, and then under the leadership of the platoon commander, the teams quietly descended the city wall and headed towards the designated streets.

The entire city of Binh Duong was divided into east, west, north and south, and slowly the streets were filled with 10,000 detachments of the New Army, one by one silently guarding the streets.

Waiting for chaos in the city.

If you can't find everyone, then you will plan it, Tang Xidong asked Li Shangquan to transfer troops into the city after the city gate was closed, in order to wait for the other party to rise up and catch them all.

Time is passing, the time passes, the time passes, and the ugly time comes.

The entire Pingyang Mansion seemed extraordinarily quiet, and the uneasiness in Tang Xidong's heart became stronger and stronger, shouldn't it? It shouldn't be so quiet, the other party will definitely find out, but why is there still no action?

It's too perverse.

In anxiety, the ugly time has come, but there is still no movement.

Tang Xidong secretly persuaded himself in his heart, wait a little longer, and calm down.

But until I saw that the ugly time was about to pass, and the time was coming, it was still silent.

Tang Xidong suddenly raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and woke up in his heart.

The intelligence is wrong!

The intelligence is wrong!

Was it that the other side abandoned the operation, or that the intelligence was wrong from the beginning.

Tang Xidong, who couldn't sink, gathered the guards and prepared to go out and go to the streets to inspect on the spot.

But at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the door, and listening to the hurried sound of horses' hooves, an inexplicable uneasiness rose in my heart.

Walking out of the open gate quickly, he saw that on the war horse, Zhang Sanshi dragged a figure to stop under the gate.

Zhang Sanshi, who turned over and dismounted, dragged the man off the horse.

A bloodstained figure appeared in front of him, Tang Xidong frowned and took two steps up, under the light, although the person's face was bloodstained, he could still tell at a glance that it was Tang Sanxian of Luoliang Mountain.

Luoliang Mountain!

Tang Xidong's heart was shocked, and as soon as he had an idea, he heard Zhang Sanshi shouting loudly: "Military Division, Luoliang Mountain is besieged by officers and soldiers, the situation is critical, Sanxian brought people to ask for help." ”

The anxious voice woke up Tang Xidong in a trance.

Hit the scheme, the other party is bluffing, the voice is attacking the west, since the beginning of the scheme, he has been tricked, the intelligence is wrong, he was deceived.

Luoliang Mountain is the focus of the other party.

Suddenly, Tang Xidong's eyes were sober, and he quickly turned around and looked behind him.

At this moment, a figure rushed towards him, and a bright light seemed so sharp in the light.

"Thief, dare?" Looking at the tip of the knife that flashed with sharp light, listening to Zhang Sanshi's angry shouts in his ears, and stabbing at the person's guards one by one.

Tang Xidong only had time to try to turn sideways, avoid his neck, and meet it with his chest, and then watched the knife light stab into his chest, and then inserted it.

A tingling pain came, Tang Xidong shuddered, and looked up to see the man.

It was Kang Zhu sent by Kang Xuqian to guard his side, this person had been guarding the door, and it turned out that he was waiting for this moment to come.

The knife was inserted into the body, and a muffled snort came, and then the scene was calm, Tang Xidong raised his eyes, and the young man was also staring at him coldly at the moment, with a trace of surprise and unwillingness in his eyes.

"It's me who underestimated Kang Xuqian, good acting skills, and you're not called Kang Zhu, right?" His chest was soaked with blood and slowly faded away, Tang Xidong laughed self-deprecatingly.

Streams of blood appeared from the corners of the young man's mouth, and the long knives of the guards were already stuck behind him.

"Tang thief, the young master is Hu Kui of Jinyi Wei Baihu, but unfortunately he is still a step behind and can't kill you with his own hands. But my Ming army has arrived, are you already scared to the core," as soon as he finished speaking, he lost his breath.

"Strategist." Zhang Sanshi pounced and helped Tang Xidong.

Tang Xidong waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, stretched out his hand to endure the pain, pulled out the dagger inserted into it little by little, and lifted his shirt, revealing the armor inside.

Tang Xidong experienced too much deception in his previous life, although he fell for trickery today, he still hasn't forgotten one of the advantages brought by his previous life, that is, he always pays attention to protecting his life.

As early as after the steel was smelted on Luoliang Mountain, he asked the military households in the craftsman's workshop to create a unique armor for himself, Liu Lianqing and others: steel wire armor. Wearing it on his body all the time, looking at the bloody hole under the steel wire armor, Tang Xidong took a deep breath, if it weren't for this steel wire armor today, his little life would have been explained in Pingyang City.

Tang Xidong's fear dissipated in a moment, but a group of guards and Zhang Sanshi were still frightened.

In the house, Tang Xidong sat on a chair, guiding the company members to stitch up the wounds for himself and the blood-stained Tang Sanxian, and outside the house, Zhang Sanshi was still scolding the guards brought from Luoliang Mountain.

"Okay, bring Zhang Sanshi in, and send someone to invite the master of Dazhai, the master of Sanzhai, and Li Shangquan."

After speaking, Tang Xidong closed his eyes and thought about the ins and outs in his mind.

First of all, Kang Xuqian definitely deceived himself, then the previous information was wrong, and even Cao Ran's discovery of the information of outsiders may have been deliberately revealed by the other party.

Maybe it's not just Kang Xuqian who deceived himself, all the officials in Pingyang City. Squire. The rich businessmen have deceived themselves and set up traps and tricks in partnership.

What is the purpose of the other party?

The purpose can be guessed, but the situation is somewhat different from the other party's purpose.
