Chapter 687 - Only One Request
More than 100 black-clothed people sneaked under the city wall of Hongxian County under the cover of night.
The men in black all carried long swords at their waists and longbows behind them.
It was Zhao Yi who led them.
Squatting at the foot of the city wall, Zhao Yi looked up at the head of the city.
At the top of the castle, a torch is lit every ten steps, and from a distance, it looks like the city wall is dotted with many stars.
Under the light of the fire, the figure of Cao Jun was thrown outside the city wall.
Silently counting the steps of Cao Jun as he walked out, Zhao Yi nodded to several night stabs.
The night thorns who had received the order beckoned one after another, signaling everyone to prepare to enter the city.
The figure of Cao Jun, who was patrolling the night, walked into the distance, and more than a dozen grappling hooks flew silently up to the city.
The grappling hook was wrapped in a thick linen cloth, and it didn't make a sound to hook the battlements.
Nightthorn tugged hard, revealing the tip of the hook wrapped in linen, tightly hooking the battlements.
The night thorns who threw out the grappling hook nodded at Zhao Yi.
As soon as Zhao Yi waved his hand, a night thorn immediately climbed towards the city with a rope.
Nightthorn climbs very fast.
Before the patrol Cao Jun turned back, the first batch of night thorns had already reached the city wall.
Although there were torches on the top of the city, there were dark corners.
Ascending to the top of the city, the night thorns spread out one after another, hiding their bodies through the shadows of the night.
A night patrol Cao Jun came over with a long lance and a shield in hand, and walked slowly but steadily.
The Nightthorn, who was closest to him, drew his short blade and stared at him with unblinking eyes.
Cao Jun is getting closer and closer.
He didn't notice anyone in the shadows.
Walking past the night thorn, Cao Jun was still observing the sides.
Holding his breath, he waited for him to take two steps before the Nightthorn sprang up and grabbed him by the neck.
The short sword stabbed into Cao Jun's heart, and then the night thorn dragged the corpse into the shadows.
quickly took off Cao Jun's armor, and while the other Cao soldiers didn't find out, the murderer became a Cao Jun soldier in a blink of an eye......
The night vigil was no more than five or six people.
It didn't take much effort for the Night Thorn to finish them all.
Zhao Yi led everyone to the city, and the accompanying night assassin officer asked in a low voice, "General, what should I do?" ”
"There are only two hundred defenders in the city, and even if they fight hard, they are not our opponents." Zhao Yi said: "But the son wants us to act quietly. Even if you are entering the city, you must be cautious. ”
Looking around at everyone, Zhao Yi said: "Three of them, sneak into the city, and kill all the Cao army!" ”
The Night Thorns took orders.
Zhao Yi didn't forget to add: "Try not to alarm Cao Jun!" ”
More than 100 night thorns entered Hongxian County at night, but there was silence inside and outside the city wall.
Not far from Hongxian County, in the Tianhai camp.
The lights were on, and Yuan Xu had not yet fallen asleep.
Wanrou came out of the tent and walked towards the tent.
Before she could reach the tent, a guard stopped her: "Stay here, the son is planning military affairs!" ”
"Please pass through the son, Wanrou has something important to ask to see."
Wanrou said that there was something important, but the guard didn't dare to stop her, and said to her: "Please stay with the girl, I will go to report to the son!" ”
Yuan Xu was looking at the nearby map drawn back by Fengying in the tent, and the guards were polite, saying that they were gentle and asked to see him.
The night was already deep, and Wanrou asked to see him at this time, most likely to say goodbye to him.
Yuan Xu instructed: "Please let Wanrou girl in." ”
The guards withdrew.
Jiang Jun on the side said: "Miss Wanrou asks to see, and she will retire!" ”
"Say goodbye." Yuan Xu said: "You are a confidant, and Zhen Ji is not here to see you, so you must avoid it." ”
Jiang Jun didn't dare to say more, and retreated to the side to stand.
The curtain was lifted, and the guards led Wanrou in.
He bowed to Yuan Xu, and said gently: "I begged to see my son all night, and I hope that my son is not strange if I delay important matters." ”
"If it weren't for the girl's righteous help, a certain would have been captured by Cao Jun." Yuan Xu said: "There is no need to be so polite! Girl, please be seated! ”
Wanrou thanked and sat down, and said to Yuan Xu: "The slave family asks to see him, but it is to say goodbye!" ”
"The girl is leaving?" Yuan Xu asked.
"Gongzi led the army to conquer, and the slave family will eventually be wrong with the army."
Pinching his chin, Yuan Xu said: "What the girl said is very true, it is difficult to ensure that the girl is well prepared when the two armies fight." ”
He instructed Jiang Jun: "Take a bucket of gold beads to be a girl's Sichuan capital." ”
"The son is so generous, the slave family will not dare to accept it." Gracefully thanked him: "Although the slave family is not rich, there is no shortage of gold, jewelry, and jade. Ask to see Childe, there is only one invitation. ”
"Girl, please speak!"
"The slave family is willing to dance for the son, and I hope the son will not refuse."
Yuan Xu and Jiang Jun were both stunned.
Gently resigned, not only did not take the gold beads, but wanted to perform a dance.
Such a request is really incomprehensible.
"The girl sings and dances, if you are willing to give the dance a certain luck!" Yuan Xu said: "It's a pity that I don't understand the rhythm, otherwise I can play the piano for the girl......"
"Enlightened Childe!" Jiang Jun stepped aside, clasped his fists and said, "I will stroke the qin!" ”
"Captain Jiang is willing to stroke the piano for the girl, I don't know what the girl thinks?" Yuan Xu asked.
"There's Captain Lao Jiang!" Gracefully stood up and saluted.
Jiang Jun instructed the guards to bring the yaoqin, sat in the tent, and adjusted the strings a few times.
Stopping the teasing, he looked at Yuan Xu.
Knowing that he had found the pitch, Yuan Xu said: "There is Miss Lao to dance!" ”
Slowly relax the wide sleeves, lightly open the red lips, accompanied by the tune of Jiang Jun's caressing, and dance softly while singing.
Light as a swallow, fluttering like fire, the winter tent gradually warmed up because of her song and dance.
The sound of the piano and the singing floated out of the tent.
Not far from the tent, Uncle Gong sat in front of a brazier in the open space and roasted his hands.
Gentle footsteps came from behind him.
Tian Feng's voice came into Uncle Gong's ears: "Miss Wanrou is leaving?" ”
"yes!" Uncle Gong sighed softly: "This farewell, I don't know when she will be able to reunite with her son." ”
"Brother Gong." Sitting next to him, Tian Feng said: "It's been many years since Guigu Mountain was separated, and I once thought that you had attached yourself to a hero and achieved a great cause, but I didn't want to be a follower and become an attendant!" ”
"Why not be an acolyte?" Uncle Gong smiled indifferently: "Laugh at the affairs of the world, and only chant Taiping songs." Strong as a door to fight, each for his master! ”
Looking at Tian Feng, Uncle Gong said: "Yuan Hao assisted Yuan Shao in his early years, and almost ended up in a different place, although now he is reused by the fifth prince, what he thinks in his heart, can he dare to say it to Hepan?" ”
"There is no difference between saying and not saying." Tian Feng said: "As expected, the son knows everything. All a certain thing to do is to appease everyone when Childe has a decision, so that the soldiers know how Childe has succeeded. ”
"Empty of Kuang Kuang's talents in the world, but he can only be a little green under the safflower, Yuan Hao is really at ease?"
"If the lord is strong, the minister is weak, there is a lord like Gongzi, and my staff is just a foil!" Tian Feng said: "It's Brother Gong, could it be that he is only an entourage in this life?" ”
"There are many heroes in the world, but if you want someone to live and die, there is only one young lady!" Uncle Gong said: "If you have something to ask for, I hope Yuan Hao will allow it!" (To be continued.) )
