Chapter 398: Beacon Fire in the Border City

A caravan left the Baishan tribe's station, led by a disfigured Kerim, whose broken leg and wounds on his front waist were already healed. (. Purple Pavilion)

Gu Lilen personally walked out of the big tent, waved at him and said, "Young lord, this king wishes you a victory. ”

During this time, he was treated like a distinguished guest in the Baishan clan, and Gu Lilen personally ordered that no one should spread the news that Kerim was here, and he usually hid in the tent to recuperate from his injuries, so the spies sent by the border city could not detect his existence.

"King Baishan, rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations this time. Crimea swore solemnly.

"Hehe, I believe in you. Gu Lilen had a hearty smile on his face: "As long as we can succeed this time, I will hand over the border city to you to manage, and you are still the biggest lord there." ”

"Thank you for your generosity, I'm leaving!"

When the Crimean had gone away with the caravan, the staff came from behind and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will rebel again, my lord?"

Gu Lilen smiled: "Don't worry, he is a lost dog now, and he doesn't dare to play tricks." He has lost everything he originally had, and if he wants to regain it, he can only cooperate with me, so he is still very reliable. ”

The staff hurriedly patted the ass: "Wang Yingming, shouldn't we also make preparations, so as not to be too hasty." ”

Gu Lilen waved his hand and said: "No, Su Kemu is not a fool, this king can think that he must have sent spies to us, and it is easy to expose it if he prepares too early, and it will leave them enough time to report the news." Not only can you not prepare in advance, but you have to act as if you have nothing to do, and confuse those spies. Remember, if we are going to sneak attack this time, the strategy is to cooperate with the outside and not allow for half of the mistakes. ”

"Men understand!" the staff members walked backwards.

At sunset, the caravan came to the east gate of the border city, and Krimu couldn't help frowning when he saw that there was an extra layer of horses outside the city wall.

"Who is it?" a horse rushed out of the city gate, followed by thirty black-armored cavalrymen.

"We are a caravan from the east, and we are going into the city to do business. Krimu said with a smile that he was now dressed as an intermediary, and people who were not close relatives could not recognize him.

"What kind of cargo is on the wagon?"

He replied: "It's grain, iron tools, and fine wine, all smuggled from the border army of the Great Chu Dynasty, good things!"

"Really?" the man's eyes lit up, but he still darkened his face and said, "You should know the rules of the border city, right?"

"I know, please check!" said Kerim hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, winking at his entourage, who together lifted the tarpaulin covering the car.

Underneath the tarpaulin were sacks of grain, wine, scimitars, spears, and saddles.

The inspector was stunned: "Why are there so many weapons?"

Kerim smiled and stuffed the two skins into his hands, and said: "This is the Da Chu wine for you to taste, as for the weapons, I heard that there was a battle between Guicheng and a certain tribe a while ago, and finally won a big victory, and the contemptible people are thinking that you must replenish the weapons, so don't you bring a batch......

The man opened a cork of the skin, and the rich smell of wine came to his nose, and it was indeed good wine! He smiled and said, "No treacherous business, this is true, but you may be disappointed." Last time we defeated the White Mountain Clan, our losses were very small, and we have not yet reached the point of replenishing our weapons. ”

"Huh?" said the old man who immediately pulled a face.

"But don't worry, as long as your stuff is good, it will definitely be no problem to sell it at a good price, hurry up and go into the city, while it's still dark, maybe you can negotiate a few deals with the big bosses." ”

As the saying goes, eating people with a soft mouth and taking people with short hands, this guy was bought by two pots of wine, and he didn't bother to carefully check what else was in the car, so he let him go directly.

In the Lord's Mansion, the butler knocked on the door and entered Su Kemu's room, and said respectfully: "Master, dinner is ready, but Princess Medina and Chen Gongzi have not come back yet, do you think we should wait for a while, or just start the meal?"

The old lord didn't think about it and said, "Wait another half an hour, and if they don't come back, they'll have dinner." ”

"Yes. ”

The two young men often forgot the time to go home because they were playful, and when they came back, it was already dark, and Su Kemu and the old housekeeper didn't take it too seriously.

Smoke wafts and the aroma of various grilled meats and stews begins to permeate. The caravan that had just entered the city stayed in the carriage and horse shop not far from the city lord's mansion, and Krimu winked at the people around him, who nodded and turned to leave.

The goods on the carriage were obtained by the Gullen faction who looted the caravan nearby, and as for these people who pretended to be buddies, they were actually elite soldiers of the Baishan clan.

In fact, when at the gate of the city, the inspector only needs to observe a little to see the clues, how can every guy in an ordinary caravan be a master of soul warriors, and in addition, the horse pulling the cart is a war horse, which is also very different from ordinary horses.

Soon, the man returned to him and whispered, "It's all ready, just waiting for your order!"

"Okay, tell everyone to eat, but they can only eat sixty percent full. Kerim said.

"What, eating?" the man was stunned.

"That's right, eat!" he sneered, "the people in the border city are eating, and they won't think that we have entered the city, let alone eat sixty percent like we do." It is easy to be weak when they eat too much, and their combat effectiveness will also decline, and when they are full of food and drink, we will do it again, and we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

The man gave a thumbs up: "What the young lord said makes sense, then let's do it in half an hour?"

"Yes, I order everyone to be careful not to show their feet at the most critical moment. ”

"Yes!"

The little marquis and the beautiful princess rode horses and appeared at the west gate with their prey.

Today's hunting harvest was quite fruitful, one of the adult bucks was shot by Martina with a purple gold hand crossbow, and the little marquis certainly did not lag behind, hunting two black wolves and a few rabbits.

When the captain guarding the city gate saw the two of them appear, he immediately ran over and said, "Chen Gongzi and Princess Medina, you are back, the old lord sent someone to ask just now, and he must be waiting for you to eat at home at this moment." ”

"Hehe, I almost missed my meal. With a wave of his hand, the rope tied to a black wolf was automatically disconnected, and he said in a bold tone: "I am lucky today, I have hunted a lot of good things, this is for you, let's fight tooth sacrifice at night." ”

"Thank you Chen Gongzi, you are so generous. What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and skin the wolf, and you, burn the fire and prepare for the barbecue. ”

Every time he came back from hunting, the little marquis would give some benefits to the soldiers guarding the door, although it was just a small favor, but his position in the hearts of the soldiers was higher.

When the two of them entered the city, passing by the carriage and horse shop, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the vehicles parked inside.

"What are you looking at?" asked Martina, in a coquettish voice.

"Nothing. He smiled, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Thinking about what to do so much, he shook his head and followed Martina into the lord's mansion.

In the carriage shop, Kerim let out a sigh of relief, his heart was in his throat just now, if Xiao Chen came in, he might be exposed.

The disguise technique can deceive ordinary people, but for a smart person like Xiao Chen, it has no effect.

He took several deep breaths and whispered, "Everyone get ready and disperse as planned." There are masters in the lord's mansion, so change the strategy, let's only defend and not attack, as long as we ensure that the people inside don't rush out to support the city gate, and wait for the king of Baishan to lead the troops into the city before attacking!"
