Chapter 467: Please enter the urn

The last assassin was killed by the palace guards at a distance of more than ten steps from the carriage, in the gallop, in the bamboo forest, there were corpses lying everywhere, the blood gathered into a one, winding and crawling on the gallop road, where it passed, outlining a miserable picture, Wen Fangda looked at the corpses all over the ground with palpitations, most of them were assassins, and there were also many palace guard soldiers who stayed here forever. The assassin's fearlessness www.biquge.info death made Wen Fangda still tremble at this time, and he still pounced on him wave after wave until he was completely dead, knowing that he couldn't do anything.

"General Wen!" The person who pounced out of the carriage before walked in front of Wen Guangda, his voice was sharp, like a rooster pinching his throat and speaking, "Don't you feel strange? ”

Wen Fangda nodded, "These assassins are all bloody warriors, but they don't have any masters, it's indeed a bit strange!" Squatting, rummaging through the weapons dropped by the assassins.

"Five-round repeating crossbows, stainless steel slotted daggers, this is the standard equipment of the special service of the Dingzhou Statistical Survey Department, and the four-shot eight-ox crossbow on the ship is also unique to Dingzhou, Huang Gonggong, are these people from the Dingzhou Statistical Survey Department?" Wen said.

Gonggong Huang squatted down and shook his head, "Not necessarily." With a loud noise, he tore open the clothes of the dead corpses and said, "General Wen, please look at the underwear of these people." "Tearing several pieces in a row, these people's underwear is all kinds of clothes, basically woven of silk and linen.

Wen Guangda looked up at Gonggong Huang in some confusion.

"When Commander Yuan was leaving, he talked to me about some of the information he had collected, and he once lamented that Li Qing had invested so much in the soldiers under his command, General Wen, do you know the cotton cloth that has just risen in the Central Plains?" Huang Gonggong stood up.

"Cotton? I know that this seems to be the cloth woven from a new crop cultivated in Dingzhou, which is said to be too expensive for ordinary people to buy. Wen Guangda didn't know what this had to do with the matter in front of him.

"The underwear of the special service of the Dingzhou Statistical Survey Department is all made of this cotton cloth, a unified style, about one color, you see these people, all sorts, definitely not the special service of the Statistical Survey Division, moreover, if it is the Statistical Survey Division, then their commander Wang Qi is there, and, if it is really them, where is the female guard with extremely high martial arts around Qingfeng, if the two of them are here today, what is the battle still fought? We will never win this easily. ”

"But these weapons?"

"Weapons don't say anything, it is possible that these people bought them from Dingzhou through some channel, and it is also possible that Dingzhou participated in this matter, but it is only limited to providing them with weapons and intelligence, according to Commander Yuan, Qingfeng is this person, planning and then acting, and paying the most attention to details, such a reckless and arrogant assassination, I don't think it was planned by him or her."

"What do you think?"

"It's very likely to come from the south, but it's a bit of a bell period style, in order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means!"

"Zhong Ziqi is not a stupid person, knowing that it will definitely be impossible to achieve his goal by doing this."

"Of course, he knows that there will definitely be no success here, his purpose is not to succeed in one fell swoop, I'm afraid the real killing move is still ahead!"

Wen Guangda's face showed nervousness. "Then his actions here must have a deep meaning."

"Yes, General Wen, look, what time is it now?"

Wen Guangda looked up at the sun and suddenly realized, "Erlong Mountain!" We continued on our way, and when we reached Erlong Mountain, it would be dark, and where were they really killing! ”

"Yes, I think the main force of Zhong Ziqi, as well as his general Xu Siyu, and Zhou Yu, who has no end in sight, are waiting for us there!"

"Grandpa Huang, what should we do?"

Huang Gonggong smiled gloomily, "Since we guessed what the other party wanted to do, why did we follow their steps?" We walked ours by ourselves, General Wen, dozens of miles ahead, isn't there a place called Caoji Town, let's not leave today! ”

Caoji Town, only gathered hundreds of households, but there are more than a dozen inns, without him, just because more than ten miles ahead, is the steep Erlong Mountain, in the early years, there are several big insects on this mountain, from time to time to endanger passers-by, so to cross the Erlong Mountain *** are not afraid to cross the Erlong Mountain overnight, most of them live here, after gathering a group of people, how bold people are, dare to cross him, and then the big insects disappeared, nowhere to be found, but there is a group of bandits gathered here, these people are much more terrible than those big insects, Once the big insect is full, it will not come out to harm people again, but these people do not refuse, the typical goose plucked the master, even the iron rooster has to be squeezed out of a few drops of oil by them, and the slightest resistance, it will be killed, so that even if the people who have been here gather more, they dare not go over, and they have to ask bodyguards, or pay for more than 100 officers and soldiers in this town to escort them, so that this Caoji town has been prosperous for a while, and then this gang of bandits heard that they participated in the rebels of Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei, and they are no longer nowhere to be found, Caoji Town has just slowly come into decline.

A few miles outside the town, Wen Guangda and the others tightly guarded the only remaining carriage, and the unfortunate Zhizhou was unfortunately sitting in the second carriage at that time, and the carriage hit six or seven eight-oxen crossbows, knocked down the carriage, and hiccups on the spot.

After waiting for about half an hour, several palace guards had hurried over with a team of officers and soldiers, and the first one was the leader of the garrison in this town, a captain Yingyang.

Seeing Wen Guangda, Captain Ying Yang immediately pushed Jin Shan, poured the jade pillar, knelt on the ground, and knocked his head a few times, "Captain Ying Yang of the Caoji Town garrison under his command Wu Guo has seen the general!" ”

Wen Guangda frowned, although the person in front of him was wearing a suit of armor, but he had a big belly, I really don't know how he put this armor in, looking at his red appearance, and smelling a pungent smell of wine, his heart was even more unhappy, and then look at the team of soldiers behind him, all of them were red and red-eared, and obviously drank a lot of wine.

"How long have you been in this town?" Wen Guangda raised his hand and motioned for him to stand up.

"Back to the general, the lower official has been here for almost a year!" Wu Guo is very excited, a big man from the capital, this is a palace guard, if he stammers, he will have a bright future.

"Hmmm! During this time, who has been in the town? ”

Wu Guo was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "General, this Caoji Town is the only way to cross Erlong Mountain, and many people pass by here every day. ”

"Are there so many people every day?" Wen Guangda asked.

"Yes, general, but there are not so many today, a group of people left earlier, and they want to pass Erlong Mountain before dark, and then three or five people came, at this time, they will definitely not leave."

Looking at this wine and meat captain, Wen Guangda narrowed his eyes, "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Wu Guohong's face became more and more red, and he whispered: "General, the villain is afraid that there will be traitors mixed in, so two cards have been set up on the way through the town to specifically check the people who pass by. ”

Wen Guangda suddenly realized, it turned out that this kid set up a card to extort money, no wonder he knew so much how many people entered the town every day and how many people left? It's no wonder that the days are moist, and he drinks like Guan Gong in the daytime, but now he is not in the mood to care about these idle things, and he is too lazy to pay attention to this kind of person.

"Come into town and arrange one of the best inns for us."

"Yes, yes, General, I have been informed by these adults, and I have already sent someone to take care of this matter. By the time the general had entered the town, the inn should have everything ready. ”

"The original guests in that inn are invited out, and we will compensate them for double the price."

Wu Guo said: "The general wants to live, of course they have to give way to the general, this is their honor, what compensation do they have?" Rest assured, the general, I have herded him all to another inn, and have sent for them to look at them. ”

Wen Guangda glanced at him, "This inn usually gives you a lot of benefits, right?" ”

Wu Guo blushed, and hurriedly defended: "No, no, general, this inn is indeed the best we have here, and I know that the generals are escorting very important people, the terrain of this inn is very good, very good, very easy to guard, a little arrangement, can make a fly can't fly in." ”

Wen Guangda's face changed, his eyes swept to the few palace guards who had just entered the town, those people lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, Wen Guangda turned around, smiled at Wu Guo and said, "You also know that the terrain of this inn is easy to be vigilant?" ”

Wu Guo turned his head very embarrassed, "Back to the general, the villain also led soldiers to fight, but later, later ......"

Wen Guangda laughed, now it seems that this Wu Guo is not too grassy. "Lead the way!"

Under the leadership of Wu Guo, a group of people came to the best inn in the town that Wu Guo said, at a glance, Wen Guangda was really satisfied, the house in the town was next to each other, and there was no building within dozens of meters around this inn, empty, there were a few vacant land that was mined, and some melons, fruits and vegetables were planted.

"There's an inn!" Wu Guo smiled and said, "General, this is the best inn in this town, of course, it is not as good as the capital, but it is very clean, and the chefs here make good meals, authentic local flavors, the general is from the capital, and he is used to the taste of Beijing, maybe this place can surprise the general!" ”

Wen Guangda smiled faintly, "Well, I believe it, just look at your appearance, you said that you have led soldiers to fight before, and now look at your appearance, if the food in this town is not good, you will never grow so fat." ”

Wu Guo suddenly made a big red face, but fortunately, his face was originally red, and it was not a big deal if he was a little redder.

"Boss Tong, a distinguished guest has arrived, don't hurry out!"
