Chapter 26 (1) Striking the West

1

On the east side of the city wall, there is a forest, with tall and low elm willow and other miscellaneous trees, and in the forest is a cemetery, there are hundreds of large and small tombs, which feel gloomy during the day, and even more desolate and gloomy at night. It was only a few hundred meters from the city walls, separated by a dry grassy ditch.

Jiang Yuniang said: "This is it." ”

He Yuan looked up at the high city wall, "The city wall here seems to be higher than other places, okay?" ”

"Okay, it's the farthest and safest place to get to the sentry." Jiang Yuniang said.

Everyone touched the city wall, and in the dead of night, only the howling of the northwest wind and the occasional call or two of the old eagles added to the tranquility of the night. Stone Lock untied the burden from his back, took out a rope from it, and threw it at the wall.

There are hook claws on the rope head, the stone lock is thrown twice, hooked on the wall, and pulled, maybe because the wall is in disrepair, the hook claw is always not grasped, the third time, it is easy to grab a brick, climb up, the brick falls off, and the rope falls out, and falls outside the city.

"This wall is not strong, let's change places." Shi Suo said.

"I'll come," said Jiang Yuniang, "you throw it again." ”

The stone lock was thrown hard, the rope crossed the wall, and hooked the wall, but it still didn't feel strong, and Jiang Yuniang said: "Okay, so be it." She grabbed the rope with her left hand, picked at the crack in the wall with her right hand, and climbed up with both feet against the brick crack in the wall.

There are brick cracks on the wall, but they are all very small, not enough to support the pedaling, Jiang Yu Niang uses both hands and feet, and I don't see how much the strength of the rope is, and the body is like a light gecko, quickly swimming.

"Hey," Shi Suo exclaimed, "Looks like we're still far from it." ”

He Yuan shook his head, "Martial arts practice is like this. It's not just about being diligent, there are some qualities that are born and not everyone can achieve them. ”

Dafeng said: "The cave in the Sanrenxia on Zhang Shen's arrow, you have to use a rope, and you want me to see it." If Sister Jiang is on it, she won't use a rope at all. ”

While speaking, Jiang Yuniang has climbed the wall, looking out, dark and silent, there is no one near and far, the tall and low buildings in the city are silent in the faint moonlight, and the whole city seems to be asleep.

She refastened the rope a little. Whispered downward, "Go on." ”

Shi Suo, Dafeng, and Li Mei, one after another, climbed up the wall along the rope. Stone Lock took out a thin iron rod bent into a U-shape from his baggage, inserted it into the crack in the bricks of the city wall, chiseled it with stones, and exposed its three-inch-long head, and then hid the iron rod head with withered grass, and said, "All right." The next time, as long as you hook this, the rope won't fall. He tied the rope to the iron bar.

Under the city. He Yuan and others dragged the rope and selectively enlarged the brick joints on the wall with knives and axes, so that the toes could be stepped on, and the enlarged brick joints formed a socket of feet, extending upwards and becoming a route to climb the city wall.

Jiang Yuniang, Shi Suo and others entered the city. Walk straight to the Lu Mansion. The night was dark, and there was no one on the street, Li Mei was anxious, jumped and walked in front, and arrived in front of Lu Mansion. A few people went into the rented hut.

Xiao Fuzi and the two little beggars were sleeping here, and when they saw Jiang Yuniang and others coming, they made a "shhhh In the evening, there was a big banquet in Lufu, and I sent food to it, and I sent it twice. ”

"Where did they keep the prisoners?"

"I don't know," said Fuzi, "I only know that the new guests are all staying in the guest rooms in the backyard, and there are a few minions who have all come next door to us." ”

"Go to the Lu Mansion and grab one and ask."

Jiang Yuniang said it lightly, as if she went to the vegetable market to buy a vegetable. But Shi Suo, Dafeng and the others knew her ability, and with confidence, they happily walked out of the hut together and touched the outside of the Lu Mansion. Xiaofuzi whispered: "Do you want to go to the backyard?" ”

"No, catch the frontroom janitor."

Jiang Yuniang is thoughtful, this decision makes a lot of sense, in the Lu Mansion, important places and important people are in the backyard, but the gate is the most "remote", the black lacquer gate of the mansion is closed, the high gatehouse, the courtyard walls on both sides are more than a zhang high, not far away, there is a corner tower, which can be used as an observation post, and it is quiet at night.

Xiao Fuzi first leaned against the wall and sneaked to the corner tower, threw a piece of wood on it, listened to no movement, the night was cold and cold, and it was estimated that the vigil also fell asleep in the house.

Jiang Yuniang instructed Dafeng to answer outside, and then set up a personal ladder with Shi Suo, climbed the courtyard wall, and looked inside, there was a small room on the left and right in the entrance hall, all of which were darkly lit, I don't know which one was inhabited, she jumped off the wall, beckoned, Shi Suo also jumped down, the two entered the courtyard, one after the other, and walked to the entrance hall. Stone Lock walked straight to the doorway on the left and knocked lightly.

"Who?" There was a question from inside.

"The butler has something to do with you." Shi Suo said vaguely.

After a while, the door opened, and a man in a padded jacket came out, yawning, and muttering, "What's the matter?" ”

Shi Suo took a step forward suddenly, put both hands out, grabbed the man's neck, and pushed him backwards, the man was taken aback, and with a muffled snort, he was pushed to the ground by the neck, and the padded jacket fell to the ground. The stone lock dragged him into the house.

Jiang Yuniang stood in the foyer on guard, and suddenly felt that there was wind in her ears, in the dark, a hidden weapon, carrying the wind, she turned her head, and at the same time flicked her sleeves, and the hidden weapon was missed, and the sound of "dang" shot on the wall and fell, it seemed to be an iron weapon.

In the room on the right, the doors and windows are still closed, but the hidden weapon obviously comes from there, Jiang Yuniang knocked down the hidden weapon, jumped forward with both feet, pounced under the window of the house on the right, kicked it with flying legs, and kicked half of the window lattice, and at the same time shook his hand, a thin rope flew into the house, and heard a shout of "ah" inside.

In the room on the left, Shi Suo turned a deaf ear to the fight outside, he grabbed the captive by the neck, and asked urgently, "Where are the captured prisoners?" ”

"Ah...... I don't know, I'm just a janitor. ”

"If you don't know, then strangle to death." The stone lock hand was strengthened.

The man was pinched straight up, and Shi Suo was afraid that he would really be strangled to death, so he relaxed, and the man took a breath, "Around his life, it may be in the water prison, and the prisoners in the past are all put into the water prison." ”

"Where's the water prison?"

"Northwest corner, next to the mill."

Shi Suo let go of his hand, the captive coughed twice, and Shi Suo said, "Okay, thank you for telling me." But if you want to survive, don't tell anyone we've spoken. With that, he struck him in the temple, and the man fainted.

In the foyer, a figure was dragged out of the window by Jiang Yu Niang with a rope, the person was very brave, his body was still in mid-air, and he kicked Jiang Yu Niang, Jiang Yu Niang put his body to the side, a thin rope, and the person was top-heavy and fell to the ground. This is a tall and strong man, immediately after the fall of a carp stiffened, just stood up, suddenly a pain in the head, punched, shaken, dizzy in front of the eyes, and fell to the ground.

Shi Suo came out of the room on the left side and said, "Got it, in the water dungeon." ”

Jiang Yuniang said, "Okay, take them out." ”

The two of them each lifted a prisoner who had fainted, opened the door, and walked out of the courtyard, Dafeng, Li Mei and others ran over, and said anxiously: "How is it?" I heard a fight inside. ”

"The prisoner is in the water prison."

At this time, there was a noise in the courtyard, and there was the sound of people running, and Shi Suo said: "It's broken, they found out, let's hide." ”

"No," Jiang Yuniang said, "Since we have found out, I think, without further ado, let's start saving people immediately." ”

Shi Suo and Dafeng are both bold people, but they didn't expect Jiang Yuniang to say the idea of "saving people immediately", now, the noise in the Lu Mansion is getting louder and louder, it seems that the top and bottom have been alarmed, at this moment, how to go in to save people?

Jiang Yuniang said: "Xiaofuzi, you go to the south, two miles away, put two fires on it, and attract the enemy to it." ”

"Okay."

"Take these two fainted fellows with you and throw them on the way. After setting the fire, he immediately ran away and took a detour back to the hut. ”

A little beggar said, "We have a few bombs there, which Teacher He secretly brought into the city for backup, do you want to blow one up?" ”

"Fry three, in three places." Jiang Yuniang said quickly.

Xiao Fuzi took two beggars, carried the two fainting captives, and rushed away, at this time, in the Lu Mansion, a group of people shouted and screamed, and ran out of the gate, Jiang Yuniang and others quickly disappeared into the shadow of the wall, and detoured back to the back of the Lu Mansion.

There is a back door in the Lu Mansion, but it is not big, it is tightly closed at this time, under the wall next to the road, there are a few tall locust trees, the stone lock climbed a tree, stepped on the branch and looked into the courtyard of the Lu Mansion, only to see a lot of figures, playing lanterns in a disorderly manner, rushing to the direction of the front gate, there are many rooms, all lit up the lights.

Dafeng also climbed the tree, stretched his neck to look into the courtyard, and Shi Suo whispered, "Look, they all went to the front yard." ”

"Someone is in the room."

Sure enough, two figures appeared on a row of rooms, looked around, and then disappeared again.

"Boom," due south, an explosion sounded, a piece of fire, rising into the sky, in the dark night, particularly eye-catching, half of the south, were reflected red.

There was a commotion in Lu Fuzhong, and then, "boom, boom" two explosions sounded in succession, and the entire city seemed to be shaken. Inside and outside the Lu Mansion, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and with a slip of the lantern, he quickly walked out of the front door, along the street, and ran forward.

Jiang Yuniang and the others were guarding the back of the Lu Mansion, and when they heard the footsteps in the courtyard from near and far, Jiang Yuniang said, "Up." ”

The four of them climbed the fence one after another, and looked inside, it was still chaotic, some people ran around, but they all ran in the direction of the front gate, and the backyard seemed much quieter. Jiang Yuniang and the others jumped off the ground and touched the northwest corner according to the janitor's confession.

There were many rooms in the Lu Mansion, and the four of them bypassed a moon gate, and suddenly a question came from their faces: "Who?" What to run to here? ”

Shi Suo replied, "The housekeeper asked us to come." ”

"Who are you? Hold it. The interrogation tone was already skeptical. At this time, Jiang Yuniang had already found the location of the questioner, behind a flower bed, she moved forward, a thin rope, around the flower bed and threw it over, only to hear a shout of "ah", and a figure was dragged out.
