Chapter 509: Immediate Interrogation
As the temporary commander of the three armies, Xuanwu led nearly 50,000 people to attack Chengdu at night.
In the past, most of the battles were fought when the army did not move, and the grain and grass went first, but this time, Xuanwu did the opposite. 10,000 light cavalry walked in the front, followed by nearly 30,000 infantry, which were divided into long-range attacks and white-bladed attacks, and finally the baggage battalion. After all, if you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death, but one step later may affect the entire battle situation. Moreover, according to the internal guards, there was no high-walled fortress at the main altar of the East Win Society, so some siege heavy weapons such as catapults could not be used for the time being, and although the artillery was also bulky, it could be useful, so it was pulled by horses and advanced with the infantry.
"If you can't use the catapult, why do you have to pull it into the city?" Ah Jiu was a little puzzled.
Xuanwu replied while driving the horse, "Dongying will be in the secret room, but the state capital can be ...... in the deep-walled compound."
"......" Ah Jiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, what happened to this Guanzhou Mansion?
"I said, Great Military Division, have you ever seen that gang do so much and still be so stable on one side, and even the Jinyi Guard has not moved? This must be an internal ghost......" When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he smiled at Ah Jiu.
Although Ah Jiu has some temper and martial arts, he is still inexperienced in the rivers and lakes, no wonder he has stayed with Musang Daoren for so long, and he can't figure out the specific situation of Dongying Club......
"Lao Tzu must personally cut off the head of the dog official and ask him how he became a parent official? dared to collude with the bandits and turned against him! Drive! When he heard this, he was very angry, and spat at the mouth as he struggled to drive his horse.
"You cut off his head, how can you ask?" At this time, a child asked, the young man followed the large army back to the city, sat behind Xuanwu, hugged Xuanwu tightly, and saw that he could bring so many people into the city at once, the young man was proud in his heart.
"Hey, I said you little cub, I thought you would be so scared that you wouldn't even be able to speak, but I didn't expect this little brain to be quite a thief." The black sinister couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't underestimate him, this little devil has overturned one of our brothers." Xuanwu only wanted to introduce the young man at this time.
"Yo?!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, "I can't see it!" ”
"I guess it was taught by his mother, and he will use some poison, but I have tried it, and it is all the art of the rivers and lakes, and it is more than enough for self-defense." Xuanwu explained.
"Your mother is a blacksmith's wife?" Ah Jiu seemed to be a little impressed when he heard it.
"Do you know my mother?" The young man glanced at Ah Jiu suspiciously, "But you're really a little familiar, it's just that this hand is ......"
"Shut up! Tell me if I throw you off your horse!" Xuanwu listened to the young man talk about Ah Jiu's broken arm, and he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he hurriedly drank it. The young man did not dare to speak again.
"Why, the Great Military Master has seen that woman?" Zheng Chenggong asked.
After getting the young man's acknowledgement, Ah Jiu nodded, "It's the lady of the Majia iron shop in Beicheng, I saw it when I went to the iron shop with the master to fight swords earlier, I don't like to be from the Central Plains, I like to play with birds, cats, or something, but what impresses me the most is that he has a scar on his neck, but because she always wears a high-necked dress, it is generally difficult to see, that time she helped the blacksmith quench, it is estimated that it is hot, and I found that the scar is quite long...... Later, my master told me that this woman is not simple and can use poison, so I think the scar may have been drawn by the enemy......"
"! Your hand was drawn by the enemy! The young man heard Ah Jiu talk about his mother, and he couldn't get angry, so he retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, and these words caught Xuanwu and Heisha off guard, and Xuanwu could only return with one hand to cover his mouth!
"Little cub, it's useless for you to scold me, your mother just has a problem! Otherwise, who would let their children love to play with drugs? Obviously, Ah Jiu didn't care, and smiled coldly at the struggling guy.
"My mother was accidentally burned by fire when she was refining swords...... Hmm...... "It's inconvenient for Xuanwu to turn his hand, so he simply grabbed the young man's face and lifted it forward, and stuffed it into his arms, and then he could strangle this kid with one hand!"
"Make you talkative! Who can make a sword and cut a knife in the neck?! Xuanwu held the young man with one hand and the reins with the other to drive the horse.
"Wow......" Suddenly, the little guy laughed and cried, "My mother is not a bad person!" ”
Everyone saw that the little guy was really crying, and he was crying quite sadly, and Hei Sha couldn't help but persuade Xuanwu, "Forget it, you can't be angry with a little cub." As he spoke, he also glanced at Ah Jiu, as if asking for her consent.
Ah Jiu's face was also hot, and he nodded, in fact, among these people, except for Zheng Chenggong, who is the young master, the others are veritable orphans, and they seem to be easily infected by something and are somewhat connected to the same fate.
In fact, Xuanwu is not angry with him, a child, he can't do it, but in Xuanwu's consciousness, Ah Jiu is still a princess, so as a guard, he can't tolerate others slandering the princess!
But seeing that Ah Jiu was relieved, Xuanwu gradually let go of his hand.
"You're still crying, I really look down on you, I thought you were very admirable for sending information alone......" Xuanwu said to the young man, it was strange to say, when the young man heard it, he quickly stopped crying!
"Who cried! I didn't cry! The young man wiped his tears and replied stubbornly.
When Zheng Chenggong and the others heard this, they couldn't help but smile.
At this time, the light cavalry had unconsciously reached a fork in the road, and on the right-hand side a sloping road was divided, which seemed to be a large road.
"This is the North Slope!" The young man suddenly pointed to the steep slope and shouted.
"What? North Slope? Xuanwu was startled, and immediately reined in the horse's reins, "Phew! ”
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Heisha and the others also hurried to temporarily rein in their horses.
"It was in this place that my internal guard killed the lieutenant general of the state capital." Xuanwu responded.
As soon as Xuanwu's words came out, Heisha and the others couldn't help but look at the slope.
The Black Sha glanced at it and nodded, "It's indeed a good ambush location...... It seems that the Xuanwu Five Guards are not in vain. "Heisha has also heard of Xuanwu Wuwei, but he usually doesn't pay much attention to it, in fact, probably except for Killing Feng and Zhu Qing, Heisha rarely puts anyone in his eyes. So his sentence can be regarded as a great praise for Xuanwumen.
"It's not five, it's two." Xuanwu sneered confidently.
"How much? Two people? Ah Jiu asked in surprise.
Xuanwu nodded.
"How many people are on the other side?" Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but be curious.
"Plus the deputy general surnamed Liu, a total of eleven people ......," Xuanwu replied.
When Zheng Chenggong and Ah Jiu heard this, they didn't want to be shocked. But there was no big surprise, for him, it was commonplace to pick up a crowd. But judging from this comparison, he thought of another question, "In this way, the power of the state capital does not seem to be as terrible as we imagined......"
As soon as Zheng Chenggong and Ah Jiu heard this, they felt that Heisha's words were a little contemptuous of Xuanwumen, but Xuanwu didn't think so, because he knew Heisha too well, and besides, eleven people could be eliminated by his two subordinates, which really didn't seem terrible.
"But why the internal guard is so worried makes me wonder." Xuanwu nodded and replied, testing the waters of the state capital does not have much lethality, is it really so terrible to win in the east?
"There must be someone else in the state capital, and the power is not under the state capital......" Heisha immediately judged.
"Of course, the state capital and the master book are all sedan chairs when they go out...... the young man suddenly thought of the scene of the state capital patrolling the streets every time.
"The master book?" Xuanwu wondered.
"How can a small master book be on the same stage as the state capital?" Zheng Chenggong is obviously very familiar with this aspect.
"Huh? When you say this, I seem to remember, when I visited the state capital Xin Tianzheng with my master before, I saw a strange person, who seemed to be in his early forties but was already full of silver hair, but he was in good spirits, and Xin Tianzheng seemed to ask him first if he had any decisions...... Could it be ......" Before Ah Jiu could finish speaking, the young man interjected, "That's right, it's just a white hair." ”
"Do you know his name?" Xuanwu asked the young man.
"He doesn't seem to use his real name very often, and everyone calls him Mr. Watanabe......"
"Watanabe......? Why do you seem to have heard it somewhere......?" the black demon couldn't help but wonder. But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember it, and the memories he had were erased with the heart he replaced......
"In this way, it should be this Watanabe......" Zheng Chenggong said.
Xuanwu nodded, "No matter who he is, he must be in control of the situation in the entire city." So ......"
"So you're worried they're going to kill them back?" The Black Shar then asked.
"It's not that this is not possible, after all, the north gate is the closest to the state capital, in case the Xicheng side really can't hold it, they won't tie their hands and capture ......" Ah Jiu has been to the state capital, of course, he knows the situation here relatively well.
"You want to leave some people here in ambush? I'm happy to serve this, after all, our Zheng family is still a little used to dealing with the state capital......" Zheng Chenggong said with a smile.
"It's not just an ambush...... Xuanwu had already acquiesced to Zheng Chenggong's request, but apparently he wanted Zheng Chenggong to do more.
"What are your plans?" The black demon asked Xuanwu.
Xuanwu looked at Beicheng, a smile appeared on his face, "Xuanwu Gate has more than 10,000 people killed in Xicheng, I think this is enough to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, I don't believe that Dongying will be able to sit still, judging from the quietness of Beicheng, there should not be too many people left in the state capital, but it is estimated that it is still difficult to fight." If I'm not mistaken, most of the enemies have gone to Xicheng, and Dongying will spread so badly that it will take so many people to support, I guess I don't plan to give it a go! ”
"Escape?" The black slash asked.
Xuanwu nodded, and then asked the young man, "Is there a way north from here to Xicheng?" ”
"Yes! Go up from the north slope, almost to the Shangjiangyuan where you just went to have a road to turn left, and follow that road all the way to the west, which is Xicheng! The young man replied.
"Yes, yes, when we went down the mountain, the master also took me that way, I don't know if I can still walk now." Ah Jiu said.
"She's right, as if she's heard that the road has been haunted a few years ago, so the road is getting more and more deserted......" said the young man, scratching his head.
After hearing this, Xuanwu and Heisha glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile.
"I'll go!" Blacksha said firmly.
