Chapter 523: Before Dawn

Zhu Qing left the Chen Mansion with a copy of the city fortification map, and out of the backyard of the Chen Mansion, Zhu Qing quickly summoned four Jinyi guards disguised as Xu Dingguo's guards to assemble.

"General?" Jin Yiwei, who was close to the exit of the secret passage, asked vigilantly.

"Come here." Zhu Qing greeted him, and four of his subordinates came around.

"How did those guys handle?" Zhu Qing asked first.

"General, please rest assured, everything has been done, and no one will find out."

Zhu Qing nodded, "The three of you continue to stand guard here, and wait for dawn before they take their shifts." I have an urgent mission right now, and I need you to make a run. Zhu Qing said to another Jinyi guard who was not on duty.

"General, please command!"

"You sneak back to the assembly point in the city immediately, gather all the brothers in the city for me, I have something to arrange!" Zhu Qing ordered.

"Yes!"

"Remember, you have to be fast, it's going to be dawn soon, we have to act before dawn!" Zhu Qing repeatedly advised.

"Understood!" The brocade guard responded with a fist clenched, and quickly turned around and dived into the darkness.

After instructing his subordinates to call people first, Zhu Qing inspected the backyard of the Chen Mansion and did not find anything wrong. Only then did he sneak into the city with confidence, and before leaving, he also told the three brocade guards in the backyard to be cautious, act when the opportunity arises, and get out as soon as possible!

When Zhu Qing rushed to the secret assembly point in the city, the Jinyi guard had indeed summoned the Jinyi guards who could walk away in the city to assemble.

"General......" Zhu Qing caused a small commotion as soon as he appeared, because they had been here for most of the night, not to say that there was no gain, but it was not so easy to obtain more valuable information from Xu Dingguo's subordinates who were strictly guarded in such a short period of time, and Zhu Qing's appearance made them both worried and their expectations. You may be scolded for not doing well enough, but being scolded is a trivial matter, and if you can solve the problem, that's the most important thing! So when Zhu Qing pushed the door in, everyone automatically lined up in a neat queue to listen to Zhu Qing's instructions.

"Lift your heads up, your chests up!" Zhu Qing felt a little demoralized after entering the door, it was not easy for these disciples to dig up Xu Dingguo, Chen Wuyong and Chen Jiujin in such a short period of time, but obviously they were not satisfied with themselves, maybe they followed an excellent leader and subtly improved their self-requirements. But after hearing Zhu Qing's order, everyone held their heads high and regained the momentum of Jinyiwei!

"Don't give up on yourself at any time. Your performance tonight did not disgrace Jinyiwei or Qinglongmen, but next, we have more important tasks......" Zhu Qing walked to the center.

"Listen to the general!" Everyone answers.

Zhu Qing hurriedly shushed, "Shhh, be quiet, although this place is quite safe, I believe you have also found it around the Chen Mansion, Xu Dingguo's eyes and ears are by no means decorations......" Zhu Qing said, and the audience suddenly fell silent.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I have just gotten the city defense map of Xu Dingguo and Chen Wuyong......" Zhu Qing didn't finish speaking, and suddenly everyone was excited, "Really? ……”

"It's really a general's shot!"

……

"Alright. At this time, there is no need to make sycophants. Although we got the fortification map, in order to beware of a trap, we had to touch it ourselves. Zhu Qing said, took out the copied city defense map and spread it out on the desk in the room. All the brocade guards gathered around.

"You see, we're in this position right now, and I'll divide the map into four parts later, and from this position we'll divide it in four directions, southeast, northwest, and north. You, you, you four team leaders are responsible for the four directions of the southeast, northwest, you must have shown me clearly, don't tear up the map and get the wrong direction when you arrive, don't blame me for being unkind! Zhu Qing said very seriously this time, and the four team leaders couldn't help but get closer to take a closer look, and nodded when they remembered that it was almost the same.

"Remember?" Zhu Qing asked.

"Remember!" The four answered.

"Good!" Zhu Qing said, suddenly pulled out the embroidered spring knife, and swung two knives vertically and horizontally towards the drawings on the desk, and the drawings that were still intact just now were instantly cut into four corners.

"According to the division just now, take the direction map by yourself, and take your people to start moving immediately. Remember, mark the map as soon as you find out, and then get out of town. I'm going to go out of the city first and organize the rest of my brothers to infiltrate the city. Once you've got that done, assemble your equipment at the secret assembly point and be ready to fight! Zhu Qing already felt that the battle was getting closer and closer.

His nervous state of preparation for war formed an invisible hint to his subordinates, and no one could let their guard down, which was the breath of before the war, permeating everyone.

"Yes!" After hearing this, all the subordinates couldn't help but bow down to the leader!

"Action!" Zhu Qing gave an order, and the four team leaders led their people to go in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest cities, looking for the fortifications on the map.

After arranging the investigation of the city fortifications, Zhu Qing also quietly left the secret assembly point and sneaked to Xicheng. But he could not take the west gate, which was not only heavily defended, but also a meeting point for refugees and laborers, and the streets were almost full of refugees and laborers who had just entered the city during the day.

So, Zhu Qing bypassed the west gate and sneaked to the city wall in the northwest corner, which was relatively remote, and the guards patrolled at a long interval, and the more important tree was still there. Easy access to and from the tall walls.

When Zhu Qing made a detour to the northwest corner, a patrol passed by, and he dodged on the back of the street corner for a while, and only after leading the patrol over did he start his move.

The rest is very sufficient these days, although the food is not good, but it can finally be full, so eating, living and sleeping can best reflect the value at this critical moment, Zhu Qing is also in parkour because of the strength of the legs and feet, the movement is stretched and flexed freely, in the corner of the foot on the wall, the upper body is as light as a swallow when he grasps the bricks and tiles, and a few tosses have crossed the city wall in the northwest corner and fell softly to the big tree outside the city wall.

At this time, some of the guards not far away were still startled and couldn't help but look over here.

"Meow ......" a vivid cat meow dispelled the guard's suspicions.

"Hmph, it's a wild cat...... "The guard didn't come towards the tree over there!" Zhu Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After easing his breath, Zhu Qing scolded secretly, "What wild cat?" Lao Tzu is a royal cat show! Or it's also a finch cat......" Zhu Qing muttered here, and couldn't help but pause, how could he think of a finch cat?

"I guess I miss Suzaku a little, such a task, if she Suzaku performs it, Baoding will be foolproof......" Zhu Qing laughed at himself, jumped from the tree, and ran down the tree. Going down to the ground, Zhu Qing patted the big tree, "Thank you, Brother Shu, I hope you will be evergreen...... As he spoke, Zhu Qing sneered at the guards on the city wall and rushed to the refugee station.

By the time Zhu Qing returned to the refugee station, the sky was already a little cloudy. When Zhu Qing opened the door curtain, he was stunned for a moment.

Chen Yuanyuan, Xiaoqi and Liujin were all sitting in the tent, looking at themselves fixedly, while their guards bowed their heads and were silent.

"General?" The guards were the first to speak.

"What's wrong? What happened? Zhu Qing asked in astonishment.

"Big brother, it's all my fault, I accidentally woke up my sister in the middle of the night, she ...... She wants to find you......" Liujin said apologetically, and was about to cry when he saw it.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but take her into her arms, and said to Zhu Qing, "General, I didn't expect us to cause you trouble, fortunately this general is back, otherwise I don't know what to do......" Xiao Qi also looked very embarrassed, and said, already kowtowing to Zhu Qing with six catties.

Zhu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother and daughter up. He looked at Chen Yuanyuan, who was silent, and asked the guards beside him, "You ordered her acupoint?" ”

The guards didn't dare to make a sound, but nodded again and again, and only after seeing Zhu Qing's eyes did they explain hesitantly, "I...... I'm worried about Ms Chan...... Alarming the refugees ......"

Zhu Qing sighed lightly, and lifted his hand to relieve Chen Yuanyuan's acupoints.

Who knew that as soon as Chen Yuanyuan's acupoint was untied, he suddenly slapped at Zhu Qing, and he was still screaming in his mouth, thinking that he was so angry and aggrieved that he wanted to cry.

After letting Chen Yuanyuan slap a few times, Zhu Qing suddenly grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's hand, "Enough!" After a light drink, Zhu Qing looked at Chen Yuanyuan seriously, "I went into the city to do something, and it is inconvenient to make a noise, so I didn't mean to hide it from you......"

"But you should at least tell me." Chen Yuanyuan felt a little aggrieved, no one knew how lost she was when she woke up and couldn't see Zhu Qing by her side. Now that she is helpless, if Zhu Qing leaves her alone, how far will she fall? Begging with the refugees? This is something that Chen Yuanyuan could not have imagined, although she sympathized with the refugees, but she was not ready to wander, it was the same before, and it is the same now...... She was afraid of the days of wandering......

Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan's eyes were already filled with tears, Zhu Qing couldn't bear to say, "I see that you are so tired today and sleep so soundly, so ......"

"Woo......" Chen Yuanyuan suddenly threw himself into Zhu Qing's arms, "You don't know how scared I am when I wake up and can't see you......"

"This ......" Zhu Qing was startled by Chen Yuanyuan's words and deeds when he suddenly got up, and looked at the guards beside him, Xiaoqi's mother and daughter, but they just secretly laughed on the side.

"Click......" There was a sudden cracking sound, and Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but let go of Zhu Qing, "What is it?" What shattered? ”

Zhu Qing hurriedly pulled into his clothes and took out a paper bag, "Oops, it's biscuits, Boss Chen asked me to bring Xiaoqi and six catties of biscuits...... Come, six catties, take it quickly, this is your father's ...... for your mother and daughter" Zhu Qing said, handing the biscuit bag to six catties and Xiaoqi.

Liujin was stunned for a moment and asked seriously, "How is my father?" ”

"That's right, general, nine pounds...... Is he alright? Xiaoqi also asked worriedly.

Zhu Qing glanced at the guards and Chen Yuanyuan, shook his head at Xiaoqi's mother and daughter and smiled, "It's okay, Boss Chen, he is in the mansion, but he is being watched by the enemy and can't go out, he asked me to bring this biscuit to you, and when you win the rebels, your family can be reunited!" ”

"Well, you must win the rebels, thank you, big brother." Six catties smiled innocently, took the biscuits, took out the first one and handed it to Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing shook his head and refused, "Big brother just ate in the city, let's eat six catties." ”

But Xiao Liujin is very polite, so he didn't eat it himself, and he handed it to Chen Yuanyuan, "Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't wake ......you up."

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the cute little six catties, touched her head, and took the biscuit.

Seeing this, Zhu Qing got up and glanced at the guards, and the two walked out of the tent.
