Chapter 186: A Little Thing
In the snow, there were more than a dozen sentry sentries of the Dengzhou battalion who howled and fled in all directions, and behind them were dozens of cavalrymen riding war horses to kill wantonly, and in the snowflakes in the sky, the flickering sound of the blades waving constantly sounded, which was mixed with the miserable howls of the people who were cut by the waist knife, as well as the sound of the horse's hooves galloping and stopping, and occasionally mixed with a few begging for mercy. Half a quarter of an hour later, dozens of scattered Dengzhou camp sentry detectives turned into corpses.
Liu Rongsheng instructed the soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Division: "Hurry up and drag some of them to the original snow nest and cover them with snow, the things on their bodies are not allowed to move, this place is very close to the Dengzhou military camp, it is likely to attract other sentinels, hurry up!" ”
The traces of the fight at the scene were hidden, and the group braved the wind and snow to quickly walk along the official road in the direction of Xishan.
It was only at this time that Liu Rongsheng came to inquire about the injuries of his soldiers, and he knew in his heart that with the protection of the chain mail on the soldiers of the Hunting Enemy Division, and the soldiers were always vigilant, it was difficult for the Dengzhou sentry to hurt them.
Upon questioning, sure enough, only four soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Division were injured in the legs, and several horses were also injured by crossbow arrows, but fortunately, the soldiers were always vigilant.
Liu Rongsheng turned his gaze to Xie Wu and said sincerely: "Old Xie, my old Liu owes you a life!" ”
Xie Wudao: "What nonsense, how can our people in the enemy hunting division be hurt by outsiders." After speaking, he squinted and looked up at the sky, and continued: "With such heavy snow, the sentinels of the Dengzhou camp will also go out less, which is very beneficial for us to rush out of the exploration range of the Dengzhou camp in time, of course, we ourselves must not stop halfway!" ”
Liu Rongsheng nodded and said: "Our team and Shen Tou'er have made an appointment to meet tomorrow on Zhaoyuan Official Road, I see that this snow has been falling, even if we get rid of the Dengzhou camp outpost attack and disturbance, it will be difficult to reach the meeting point in time!" ”
Xie Wu smiled and said, "You are a smart one." Confused for a while! If you think about it, it is difficult for us to reach the meeting point in time when we encounter heavy snow, can they fly over Shen Tou'er! They will also be held back by the wind and snow. Let's hope they don't get attacked! ”

Feng Jian looked straight at the heavy snow outside the cabin, and he was always worried about Shen Xiaoshan, what was the result of their actions last night?
Now he has decided to take action to rescue the foreign craftsmen on the day of the rebellion. It's a bit of a no-brainer.
Not to mention anything else, even if Shen Xiaoshan and the soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Division could rescue people on the day of the rebellion, they could take advantage of the chaos to rescue these people from Dengzhou City, but they couldn't enter Water City anyway. In the event of a rebellion, the officials stationed in Shuicheng will definitely not open the city gate and let strangers into the city.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to agree to Shen Xiaoshan's plan to act in advance, and then send the foreign craftsmen back to Huluyan by land, and was authorized to Shen Xiaoshan to abandon the foreign craftsmen if necessary to ensure the safety of the soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Division!
"Suddenly" The door of the cabin of the Fu ship was pushed open, and Cheng Yousheng strode into the cabin, and said without waiting to stop: "Commander." The brother who had just gone out to listen to the news came back to report, and Dengzhou City suddenly closed its four gates and the whole city was under martial law, and I don't know what happened in the city? ”
Feng Jian's heart suddenly clenched, and the sudden closure of the city gate was nothing more than an invasion of foreign enemies, and then there was a major change in the city.
Now that there is no trace of the rebels, it is only a major change in the city, and there is no need to ask to know that it was Shen Xiaoshan and the enemy hunting division who robbed all the foreign craftsmen, and now they have been discovered.
Feng Jian held back the anxiety in his heart and said to Cheng Yousheng: Governor Sun must have found that the foreigner craftsmen were gone, so he closed the city gate and imposed martial law on the whole city. ”
Feng Jian groaned slightly. Then he said: "According to the plan, Shen Xiaoshan and the others will send someone to report if they leave the city smoothly, wait a little longer!" ”
Cheng Yousheng saw Feng Jian with a worried look on his face, and was thinking about how to make the commander more comfortable. I saw a guard outside the cabin enter the cabin and said, "Commander, there is a soldier of the enemy hunting division under the ship who said that something has come to report." ”
Feng Jian was shocked. He said in a loud voice: "Let him in." ”
Soon, a soldier of the Enemy Hunting Division who was neatly draped entered the cabin, and made a military salute to Feng Jian with a flat chest and a fist, and then said: "The villain Enemy Hunting Division Jiang Yu came to report to the commander on the order of Shen Xiaoshan, the supervisor. Our Enemy Hunting Division has already obtained all the target characters, and this morning they will go out of the city from the east and west gates in two ways. We have made it all the way out of the city through the east gate. The other route led by Liu Rongsheng and Xie Wu went out of the city from the West Gate, and it is estimated that they should also go out of the city smoothly. ”
Feng Jian suddenly had a smile on his face. "Your enemy hunting division is really good, you have completed the task without danger, and you have not disappointed this commander, and you deserve to be the elite of our Huluyan."
Cheng Yousheng grinned happily on the side: "Just now, the commander has been worried about this mission of your enemy hunting division!" You don't know that the four gates of Dengzhou are completely closed now, and if you go out of the city a little later, you will be blocked into the city. ”
The soldier named Jiang Yu smiled indifferently and said: "The villain already knows that the villain originally planned to pass through the city, but when he turned around, he found that the city gate was closed, this must be the people of the government who found that the foreign craftsmen were missing, and the villain had no choice but to make a detour to Shuicheng, fortunately, the south gate of Shuicheng was not closed." ”
Feng Jian looked at the soldier of the Enemy Hunting Division who was talking eloquently, and said, "You were originally a cavalry of Daqingfeng?" ”
Jiang Yu bowed slightly and said, "Back to the commander, it was the commander who personally selected the villain to enter the enemy hunting division. The villain is now a soldier of the Huluyan Hunting Division, and everything he does is naturally focused on Huluyan. ”
Feng Jian smiled: "Don't be nervous, you can stand out from the many cavalry shows that you have great potential, you are right, you are now a soldier of the Enemy Hunting Division, and everything should be focused on the Enemy Hunting Division!" You have been with me for the past few days, and you will be at the mercy of Cheng Yousheng's arrangement. ”
Jiang Yu bowed again and said, "Commander Xie arranged." ”
At the same time, in the lobby of the Dengzhou Governor's Office, a group of officials and staff were sitting in their respective seats tremblingly.
Sun Yuanhua, the governor sitting on the main seat, was full of anger, and the bad news continued to come one after another for several days, which continuously dealt a heavy blow to him, first Kong Youde, who he promoted, led his troops to rebel, and successively captured many states and counties, burning and looting along the way; In the court, all the imperial historians wrote to him and criticized him.
When he was in a hurry, he suddenly received a report that the 27 foreigners in the official office had suddenly disappeared overnight, and the entire official office was nowhere to be seen.
How could a good living person suddenly disappear, Sun Yuanhua was furious, and immediately ordered the gate of Dengzhou to be closed and a city-wide search was carried out.
At the same time, all the officials of the governor's yamen and the magistrate of Dengzhou were summoned to the governor's hall to discuss whether these foreigners left without saying goodbye or were artificially abducted from the governor's yamen.
The magistrate of Dengzhou sat among the officials with a nervous and anxious look, of course, he can't be blamed for the disappearance of the foreign craftsmen in the governor's office, but the responsibility of finding these missing foreign craftsmen falls on his head.
Just now, the governor ordered the four gates to be closed and the whole city to be searched under martial law, and the governor Sun ordered the governor of Dengzhou to search the entire Dengzhou city within one day, and he must get the news of these foreign craftsmen.
This really makes it difficult for the county magistrate of Dengzhou, not to mention how to know where these foreign craftsmen are, it is difficult for a strong man to search all the cities in Dengzhou within one day, and how many officials are in the county magistrate's office in Dengzhou, and how many people are in Dengzhou City, this is an impossible task.
What's more, Dengzhou City opened the city gate early in the morning, and if the foreign craftsmen were hijacked, they should have left the city gate early in the morning. If this is the case, even if Dengzhou City is turned upside down, those foreign craftsmen will not be found!
The magistrate of Dengzhou knew that Kong Youde led his troops to rebel, and now Sun Yuanhua was in a difficult situation, and the court pointed the spearhead of the attack at him.
It can be said that he, the governor of Denglai, can't do it for long, so the magistrate of Dengzhou does not intend to seriously implement Sun Yuanhua's mandatory requirements.
Seeing that Sun Yuanhua stopped reprimanding, the magistrate of Dengzhou got up from his seat and said deeply to Sun Yuanhua: "What the governor said just now is extremely true, and the lower officials fully agree with it, but the lower officials also have a little opinion and are not unhappy. ”
Sun Yuanhua glanced at the magistrate of Dengzhou County coldly, and said: "If you have any high opinions in Guizhi County, please tell me in person, as long as it is helpful to find out the whereabouts of foreign craftsmen, Benfu will pay attention to it." ”
The magistrate of Dengzhou hurriedly said: "Lord Governor, the four gates of our Dengzhou City have been opened early in the morning, and the lower officials think that no matter whether someone hijacks the foreign craftsmen, these foreign craftsmen suddenly say goodbye, and they will quickly leave Dengzhou City when the city gate is opened, and the lower officials think that there is no trace of foreign craftsmen in Dengzhou City at this time, and there is no need to search door to door. ”
"You, bold! The little magistrate dared to question the decision of the governor, who gave you the guts! ”
As soon as Dengzhou Zhixian's voice fell, Sun Yuanhua's henchmen next to him scolded loudly.
Sun Yuanhua waved his hand, signaling everyone not to speak, and he frowned and said: "You mean that the foreign craftsmen are no longer in Dengzhou City, just because Dengzhou City has been open for a while?" ”
Dengzhou Zhixian nodded and said: "Lord Inspector wants to verify, in fact, it is very simple, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, there must be very few people entering and leaving the city gate, adults can send people to the four city gates to inquire about the situation of entering and leaving the city gate, there will definitely be unexpected gains." ”
Sun Yuanhua thought for a while and turned to the guards beside him to say a few words, and then turned back to Dengzhou Magistrate and said: "Guizhi County is worthy of being an expert in solving cases, Ben Fu has already sent someone to investigate, and there will be news back soon." Ben Fu wants to ask, the foreign craftsmen were really kidnapped out of the city, and how Ben Fu can remedy it. ”
The magistrate of Dengzhou directly bowed to Sun Yuanhua and said: "The governor has arranged tens of thousands of horses outside the city, and it is a trivial matter to catch the robbers who kidnap the foreign craftsmen!" ”
Sun Yuanhua's face was excited, and he immediately got up from his seat and commanded one after another......
