In December, the snow was falling as soon as it was said, and the sky was gloomy all afternoon, and in the evening, goose feathers swept away, and the whistling northwest wind carried a slight smell of blood, which made people feel uncomfortable, and the city was full of new graves, wild dogs were everywhere, and some mutilated corpses were torn everywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yunhan stood at the head of the city, looking from afar, the mountain danced with silver snakes, wrapped in silver, and his heart was calmed down a lot, Chen Xun just reported to him that Yang Hucheng would come to Xin'an City in the past two days, and he was invited by Li Jing, it seems that these old men are not giving up.
Feiyun Cavalry has been stationed in Xin'an for four or five days, logically speaking, it is most appropriate for Yang Hucheng to take Xin'an City in one fell swoop when their foothold is not stable, but what puzzles everyone is that the Shaanxi army on the opposite side does not seem to have any intention of attacking at all, and sends one or two scout teams all day long, walking around the city wall of Xin'an County, and the day's work is over.
Gradually, the common people also noticed that something was wrong, and when the city gate was opened for a limited time, there was no longer the previous tension, and those who entered the city entered the city, and those who went out of the city went out of the city, as if this war had never happened.
On this day, the sky was clear, the snow melted, it was almost noon, the gates of Xin'an City "rumbled" at the same time, the Feiyun Cavalry Patrol first went out of the city, and then, Zhou Zhou Fan took the security patrol team to begin to check around the four city gates, and when he walked to the West Gate, Zhou Zhou Fan found several suspicious elements in the crowd, these suspicious elements were dressed in long shirts and horse coats, and looked like Sven people.
In Zhou Fan's own words, those who go out of the city at this time are not going to starve to death, and they will definitely not move this thought, in case the other side will come over, then they will cry every day, and they will not be able to shout that the ground is not working, so all rich people will not choose to go out of the city at this time, and the city gate will be closed in the evening, so it is a good time to go out of the city.
As soon as he saw these suspicious people, Zhou Zhou Fan stepped forward and asked, "Where did you come from?" Where to? ”
The leader of these people is not tall, but a man with a heroic spirit up and down, the man wears a black top hat, a pair of round-framed glasses, a long face with a wide mouth and a wide nose, and two eyes burst out of a fierce light.
When ordinary traders see the police, they all bow their heads and hand over cigarettes to get money, but this one is completely different, he doesn't even look at Zhou Fan with his neck in his head, and for a while, Zhou Zhou Fan was a little confused, saying that this person is a bandit, right? The bandit is not so elegant, he said he is a scholar, right? There is no such murderous light in the eyes of the scholar. Who could it be?
Suddenly, Zhou Zhou Fan remembered someone, and this time, even he was taken aback by his own guess, unconsciously took two steps back, and muttered: "What business are you doing?" ”
The man smiled and said nothing, but a thin middle-aged man walked over beside him, the middle-aged man took off the top hat on his head, bent down and said: "Sir, we are running leather goods out of our mouths, and we want to go to Luoyang to buy some things, pass through here, and cause trouble to the bosses." As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a silver dollar in his arms and handed it to Zhou Yifan's hand, then stepped aside with a smile, waiting for Zhou Yifan's order to release him.
"Let them go." Zhou Fan said this, but he made up his mind in his heart, and after these people entered the city, he hurriedly greeted his subordinates and said: "Tell the brothers in the city, immediately set up defenses, and keep an eye on those goods for me, especially the one wearing a black top hat, however, without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly!" ”
"Yes!" The brothers went around, and Zhou Yifan changed into another set of civilian clothes and hurriedly followed.
These people wandered on the street for a long time before finding a place to stay. Suddenly, there was a drum in his heart, didn't the west really send someone to negotiate with the Li family?
In desperation, Zhou Yifan pretended to be a drinker and entered the hotel, followed those people to the second floor, and then found a hidden place to sit down at the corner of the second floor.
