Chapter 904: Infernal
He Ruohuai Liang pressed the handle of the halberd with his hand and walked directly towards Chen Kedi.
At this moment, Chen Kedi clearly felt in his heart that He Ruohuailiang was coming directly at him, not Xiao Shilian next to him. This is a subconscious feeling, not only Chen Kedi feels like this, but Xiao Shilian also feels it.
In an instant, in the small team, all the soldiers disguised as soldiers of the Chen Army became alert.
Xiao Shilian even guessed in his heart that He Ruohuailiang had discovered their flaws and was now preparing to make trouble. Xiao Shilian's heart was nervous, after sixty years of ups and downs, he couldn't help but beat violently after seeing a lot of big scenes. At this moment, it seemed to be back to forty-four years ago, when he was only sixteen years old, he resolutely jumped on his horse and speared, followed his father to attack the Northern Zhou army with only seven horses, and finally fought a bloody road, smashed the middle army of the Northern Zhou army, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, and won an exciting victory.
Chen Kedi's hand also quietly grasped the horizontal knife on his waist, his right hand was too hard, and the knuckles of the hand holding the knife turned white.
He Ruohuailiang had already walked three steps before Chen Kedi, and he was indeed coming towards Chen Kedi. Xiao Shilian stood at the front of the team, but He Ruohuailiang walked directly in front of Chen Kedi.
The atmosphere in the city gate cave was extremely tense for a while, and the soldiers of the Chen army were ready to fight to the death. The matter has come to this point, only killing one is enough, killing two to earn one.
He Ruohuai Liang looked at Chen Kedi, who was dressed as a soldier of the Xu Army, and smiled, raised his right hand and stretched it into his arms.
With this action, all Chen Jun was on full alert. Pressing the knife in hand, some of the anxious soldiers had already pulled the knife out of its scabbard partially.
He Ruohuailiang's hand was taken out, there was no dagger weapon or anything like that, it was a jade pendant. A jade pendant carved with a dragon was then handed to Chen Kedi with a smile.
Chen Kedi hesitated a little and took this piece of dragon jade pendant, but he was still puzzled in his heart. Seeing Chen Kedi's extremely nervous face under the iron helmet, He Ruohuai smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, General Chen Kedi!" ”
"What did you say?" Xiao Shilian lost his voice, his face was a little flustered, and he subconsciously covered it up.
"Don't be nervous." He Ruohuai said with a smile: "Everyone is their own people. ”
"My own people, what my own people? The old man didn't understand what his nephew meant! Xiao Shilian still had some suspicions in his heart that He Ruohuailiang was cheating.
He Ruohuailiang saw that Chen Kedi and Xiao Shilian were both like great enemies. I couldn't help but shake my head: "It seems that I didn't explain it, that dragon pendant was given to me by His Majesty Emperor Da Chen personally." ”
At this moment, Chen Kedi was already dizzy, and it was already an ironclad fact that their identities were known by He Ruohuailiang. Although he still doesn't understand what went wrong. The flaws were exposed, but the current He Ruohuailiang's words still made them unclear.
"This jade pendant is also known as the dragon pendant, or it can also be called the hidden dragon pendant. If you look closely, you can also see that there is a symbol carved on the tail of the dragon. This symbol is also said to be called Arabic numerals, and you should know it too. He Ruohuai said softly.
Chen Kedi looked down at the dragon jade pendant in his hand. Sure enough, on the tail of the dragon, there was really an Arabic numeral 18 carved into it. Seeing this number, Chen Kedi was even more confused, this kind of Arabic numeral is said to be the memorable symbol of the people of the Far West. Promoted by His Majesty the Emperor. However, in the Central Plains, only Da Chen used this symbol. Da Chen Chaoye, in addition to using this kind of character counting. More used for MeSign intelligence, etc.
Right now, in Xiao Guan, how could they not be surprised to see General Xu Jun take out such a strange jade pendant.
"What does 18 mean?" Chen Kedi can't understand this He Ruohuailiang's attitude at the moment, so he can only take one step at a time.
A glimmer of light flashed in He Ruohuai's eyes, and he said indifferently: "It seems that General Chen really doesn't know, the general has to be valued by His Majesty, but he hasn't been in the dynasty for a long time, and it's not unusual to not know." But Uncle Xiao Shi is a little dishonest, why didn't the little nephew know that Uncle Xiao Shi had secretly attached to Da Chen a long time ago? ”
"It's also attached to Da Chen, isn't it?" Xiao Shilian was shocked.
"Uncle Xiao Shi, it should be the nephew who should be shocked, right? Since Uncle Xiao Shi has already attached himself to Da Chen, wouldn't he know this dragon pendant? The matter has come to this, Uncle Xiao Shi should not hide it, let's open the skylight and say something. Uncle Xiao Shi, take out your dragon pendant and show it to General Chen. ”
Chen Kedi turned his head to look at Xiao Shilian in surprise: "Lord Xiao knows about the dragon pendant!" ”
Everyone's eyes were directed at Xiao Shilian, and seeing this scene, Xiao Shilian had no choice but to smile bitterly twice and said, "Actually, I don't know much." As he spoke, Xiao Shilian reached into his arms and took out an object, but it was a dragon pendant.
Chen Kedi took the jade pendant in his hand and found that the two dragon pendants in his palm were exactly the same, if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't find the difference at all. But with He Ruohuailiang's reminder, Chen Kedi carefully watched the tail of the dragon on the two jade pendants, and the tail of the dragon on He Ruohuailiang's dragon was a number of 18. And the number on the tail of Xiao Shilian's jade pendant is 15.
Seeing these two jade pendants and the numbers on them, Chen Kedi already vaguely understood something.
Xiao Shilian dispersed the others, and then softly explained the origin of the dragon jade pendant on his body. Everything is as Chen Kedi guessed, this dragon pendant is related to a big secret.
The number on each dragon jade pendant represents a top spy of Da Chen that only Emperor Da Chen and the director of the Secret Service Department can master. Xiao Shilian's special file number is fifteen, and He Ruohuailiang is number eighteen, both of whom are in the top twenty and belong to the most secret spies.
Before today, apart from themselves, there were only the director of the Secret Service Department and His Majesty Emperor Dachen who knew the identity of their secret spy in the Chen Dynasty, and there were only three people who really mastered their identities.
Even, those secret spies don't know each other's identities at all. Even if Xiao Shilian and He Ruohuailiang were both ministers of Xu Guo before, they still didn't know each other's secret identities at all.
How many of these special spies there are, and who they will be, is a complete mystery.
A piece of dragon jade pendant has basically proved He Ruohuailiang's latent identity, but in order to prove his identity, He Ruohuaiming took out another thin silk.
Chen Kedi opened it and saw a few lines of familiar handwriting on it.
"For the Empire! The person who holds this special edict, under the command of He Ruohuaiming, may act in any way according to this edict. All the ministries of the empire, seeing this edict, must cooperate! In the first year of the ———— Empire's republic, Chen Pojun wrote it himself. ”
The familiar handwriting is the emperor's handwriting, and the seal stamped on the back is also the private seal of His Majesty the emperor.
In the first year of the Republic, this is an era name that only exists for one year, and even in the real sense, this era name is only used for half a year. At that time, Emperor Chen Kefu had just defeated Shibi Khan, and then marched westward. First, he bypassed the Linyu Pass, entered Hebei from the military capital pass, and then completely defeated and surrendered the Hebei Sui army, and helped Yang Gao to succeed to the throne as emperor in Beiping.
At that time, Yang Guang was defeated in Yanmen and paralyzed in Taiyuan, and he had not yet died. Yu Wenhua and Yang Xuan, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong and others also gathered in Taiyuan, calculating with each other, trying to get the throne.
Four years, four years ago, His Majesty the Emperor, who had just entered the Central Plains, had already buried two chess pieces in Guanzhong.
Poor Yu Wenhua, maybe he couldn't have imagined that there would be such a high-ranking minister in his Xu Kingdom who had already become Chen Kefu's secret spy. What is even more unexpected is that this time, among the Wenwu who guarded Xiao Pass with Yuwen Chengtoe, there were actually two high-ranking generals who were spies of Chen Jun.
Chen Kedi was shocked in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor's methods were really powerful, and he actually laid down such a situation four years ago.
Twenty miles outside Xiao Guan, the Tanma who had been observing Xiao Guan's movements returned quickly.
"General, Xiao Guan is moving. About 20,000 horses were driven out of the gate! ”
Su Lie said with some concern: "There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Xiaoguan City, and the original plan was to transfer these 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the city. The current situation is not in line with the plan, will the situation change? ”
Shan Xiongxin smiled: "If something really happens to the general, then Xiao Guan should not have soldiers and horses out of the city at this time." If they really want to find us, they will definitely just hold on, and they will only send a messenger to report to Yuwen Chengtoe. Now that 20,000 people have come out of Xiaoguan, it is absolutely impossible for them to come at us. The general's plan succeeded, the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain was successful, and Xiao Guan was only left with an empty city at this time! ”
Xu Shiji immediately mobilized the whole army, "Brothers, the general is under the will of His Majesty the Emperor to crusade against the rebels of Guanlong!" The eldest husband has made great achievements, established a good name for thousands of years, and is prosperous and wealthy, so he has a fight here..."
Hu Haihai stepped forward to interrupt Xu Shiji's mobilization and shouted loudly: "Listen, but if there is resistance, kill me!" Hit hard, and then the general and I will give you a promotion and a reward! Kill all the thieves, and their money and women are all yours! ”
Hu Hai's direct words were inspired, and suddenly the 10,000 soldiers of the Chen Army were extremely excited, their blood was boiling, and countless soldiers slapped their fists on their chests and let out a roar like a tiger. All the soldiers' fighting spirit has been ignited, and the sneaking and hiding of the past half a month have finally come to lift the camouflage, kill the Quartet, kill the generals, and make meritorious contributions.
What's more, at this time, all the Chen Jun already knew that Xiao Guan had already been extremely empty, and now even the last more than 10,000 old and weak and auxiliary soldiers in the city had been deceived out of the city, and the next battle would be an easy battle, such an opportunity, who could not be excited!
The soldiers are bloodless, and Xiongguan has fallen! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
