Chapter 14 Sneaking into Jingzhou City
Brother Zhou and I walked cautiously among the trees, we were a little tired after a day and a night, and we couldn't relax now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Qiansheng, the hole we escaped from must have been repaired, and it must be impossible to pass through it again. We'll have to find another way. Brother Zhou looked at Jingzhou City, which was guarding Sensen.
Brother Zhou and I were lying in the grass, there were about a dozen soldiers on the city tower, and there was no increase in manpower downstairs, it seemed that Xu Hong was taking strict precautions for fear that we would slip back to Jingzhou City from under his nose.
"Let's take a look along the moat from the left." Brother Zhou said.
Jingzhou City is surrounded by moats on three sides, only the side of the city gate has no water flow, and it happens to be heavily guarded, so it is naturally whimsical to want to enter through the front gate. The left side is close to the Yangtze River, and across the river is the public security. The water level of the moat is a little low, and there is a river mud next to the river bank, which is just right to pass through here, and there is a river bank as a cover, which is really the most ideal way. Brother Zhou was in front and I was behind, and the two of them quickly ran from the woods to the moat and jumped down.
"Wori!" I muttered quietly.
Brother Zhou was taken aback and asked what was wrong. "It's okay, it's just that my feet are stuck in the mud." I said awkwardly. Brother Zhou looked at me and laughed when he saw me two stuck in the mud, came over and grabbed me, lifted me up, and pulled me out of the mud.
We bent down and walked forward for a while, and it was estimated that we had been through the city gate for a long time, and we put our feet down.
"Brother Zhou, now let's go into the city?" I asked.
Brother Zhou frowned and looked up at the city wall above. "Look, Qiansheng, the city wall here is slightly broken, and there are traces of trampling on it, there must be people who have entered from here." Brother Zhou pointed to a recessed brick above.
"Who could this be?" I was a little puzzled, "And, won't there be a problem in broad daylight?" ”
"Qiansheng can rest assured, when I was the captain of the city gate, the soldiers never guarded the places outside the Jingzhou city gate, the south gate, and the north gate, and they ordered them to go to the Qinglou and the restaurant, and you see that the south gate is not far from my left." Brother Zhou pointed to a building in the distance and said to me. Anyway, I couldn't see clearly, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
I have liked to climb trees since I was a child, and I naturally no longer have a problem with this city wall, Brother Zhou is in front, I am behind, and the two of them stepped on the broken city wall and turned over. Inside the wall was a haystack.
"Get down!" Brother Zhou suddenly shouted at me.
When I looked closely, it turned out that Zhou Cheng was bringing a team of people over, presumably to do something evil again.
Brother Zhou and I discussed going to Uncle Hu's house to take refuge and move again at night. Brother Zhou and I walked in the Jingzhou City Market with our heads down and our faces covered, looking a little strange. Don't care so much, just don't be discovered by Xu Hong and his eyeliner for the time being.
Uncle Hu continued to sell meat as always, and when he saw us in the past, he just shouted: "Two guest officers are here to buy meat!" My meat is good! ”
Brother Zhou looked at Uncle Hu, quickly pulled down the mask, and then put it on again.
When I saw the surprised expression on Uncle Hu's face, I immediately stopped shouting, looked around, and found that there was no one, so I quickly pulled Brother Zhou and me aside.
"Zhou Cheng, why did you come back?" Uncle Hu asked.
"Uncle Hu, we came back this time on the orders of Zhuge Liang." I say.
"But Mr. Zhuge of Longzhong Wolong?" Uncle Hu looked at me!
"Exactly!" I nodded.
Uncle Hu turned around and covered the meat stall and pulled me and Brother Zhou into the house.
"Qiansheng, when you left that day, I heard that Xu Hong found out and sent a sergeant to chase after you, and now I am relieved that you are back. What did Mr. Wolong send you for? Uncle Hu said.
"Uncle Hu, we came here to spy on who Jingzhou City will be, and to see where Cao's army is already coming." Brother Zhou said.
Uncle Hu nodded, looked out the door, and closed the door.
"Liu Biao died of illness a few days ago, Jingzhou City was depressed, there is one thing you don't have to spy on, Liu Biao died of illness on the same day. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led the navy to come, Liu Cong wore filial piety, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were very close, Liu Jian and Xu Hong also came, and vaguely only heard Cai Mao say that Jingzhou is not returned to Liu Cong, who else can it be! Although I don't know whether it's true or not, it's definitely not far from ten! Uncle Hu said.
"Qiansheng, it seems that as you said, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun really intended to promote Liu Cong. It's a pity that General Liu Xuande Liu is kind, brave and strategic, and is deeply loved by the people, but he can't enter this Jingzhou City. Brother Zhou sighed.
"Brother Zhou doesn't have to worry, there will be a place for General Liu in this Jingzhou City." I said with a smile.
"I hope that as you say, now we can just investigate Cao Jun's movements." Brother Zhou said.
After Aunt Hu prepared some meals, Brother Zhou and I fell asleep after eating. After a day and a night, I slept very sweetly, but I don't know if Ripple and my brother are okay with Liu Bei, but it is definitely not far off. On the contrary, my brother and parents at home, will they have already called the police to find me crazy, I don't dare to think about it, and I don't dare to think about how to go back to face them.
The next day, we woke up after a long night's sleep. Uncle Hu did not sell meat at his stall.
When Uncle Hu learned of our way of entering Jingzhou City, he felt that it was inappropriate, and insisted that we hide in his pork cart and take us out of the city. Brother Zhou and I had no choice but to agree.
Covered with a thick layer of straw, we drove towards the city gate.
"Stop, the old guy is going to sell meat again today!" I heard the voice of a soldier.
"Official, isn't this still the same as before, go to the village outside the city to sell it." Uncle Hu said.
"Heh, the recent investigation is strict, we want to see." The soldier said as his footsteps drew closer.
"Official, I'm all pork, why don't you be accommodating." Uncle Hu said in a good voice.
"Accommodating? Okay, as usual, let's get a few catties of pork and we'll try it. The soldier laughed to the side.
Uncle Hu drove us out of the city, but there was a lot less meat, it seems that Uncle Hu's life is not very easy, presumably every time he goes out of the city, he is looted a lot, and he wants to come to Uncle Hu's family, which is also pitiful.
Walking to the Yangtze River, not far from the left is Cai Mao Zhang Yun's naval camp, with hundreds of ships and sergeants. I couldn't see people clearly, and my voice was still a little imposing.
There is a thatched hut by the river with a small boat next to it.
"There is a ferry in front of you, and you are the territory of Cao Jun from here, and the public security from the Yangtze River." Uncle Hu said, "I'll go to the village to sell meat first, and I'll wait for you here in two hours. Uncle Hu said.
Bidding farewell to Uncle Hu, Brother Zhou and I walked to the ferry.
Two hours, just ten hours, I felt like a time-limited task, in order to avoid accidents, I turned around and went back to tell Uncle Hu that if we didn't come back in three hours, let him go back first.
