Chapter 1033: The Dark Guard Arrives, Information Obtained
Three days later.
The thirteen cities of the Xiongnu royal court, one of which is on the street of a star city.
The lights all around, the arrival of the polar night, did not reduce the flow of people on the streets, everything under the illumination, is no different from the past.
Several young people strolled through the streets in the wind and snow, and from time to time the people around them cast surprised glances at them.
After all, the faces of a few young people in the domain were too eye-catching on the streets full of Yi people, as if they stood out from the crowd.
These people are one of the teams of the Secret Guard.
Fortunately, although there are grudges inside and outside the region, there is mutual trade between civilians in private.
Relying on the wings of the Chen family and the cover of the caravan, they easily infiltrated the Xiongnu Star City.
"Boss, we're lost on the snowfield, and we've been delayed for so long, I'm afraid we'll ......"
One of them whispered.
The man who walked in the forefront, obviously half a body above the rest of the people, frowned, and his expression became cold.
Originally, according to the plan, it only took one day and one night to run wildly in cloak and snow, and the team could enter the thirteen cities of the royal court of the Huns.
But when the polar night fell, the sight was lost, and in this snowy field where the wind and snow were howling, it was easy to get lost even if you relied on the instrument.
Only the Yi tribe, who live on the snowfield all year round, can rely on the experience accumulated over the years to be able to go beyond the positioning of the instrument, so that the wind and snow can be shrouded in the dark night, and the wind and snow cry unimpeded on the snowfield, and discern the direction.
Although the Dark Guard is well-trained, it is still a little reluctant to enter the snowfield to carry out tasks.
This caused them to gradually lose their direction before they crossed the west side of Qilian Mountain, and although they finally rushed to the thirteen cities of the Xiongnu, the time to find the path in the middle was too wasted.
Feeling the change in the man's expression, the speaker was silenced, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach.
The man said with a cold expression: "There is nothing to be afraid of! Since the head of the family can even put his own life on the line, I have already entered the thirteen cities of the Huns, so I will do everything to find out the whereabouts of the young master, and I will see people in life and corpses in death, don't forget, you and I are only today because of the head of the family, and our lives have long been handed over to the head of the family! ”
The voice was cold and the words were sonorous.
The expressions of several people around him became solemn, no longer hesitant, and nodded one after another.
Their lives are indeed given by the head of the family!
Today, they are indeed relying on the head of the family!
If it weren't for Chen Daolin, they might have been buried in the loess and decayed into a pile of dry bones.
Because of the particularity of the secret guard, it was also created that when Chen Daolin formed this team at that time, it was impossible to go through the channels of the Chen family, and everything was carried out in secret.
And each of them, when they were recruited by Chen Daolin, they were all rescued from the death table on various mercenary battlefields!
Although they are not as strong as Kunlun, everyone in the dark guard has at least once been an existence that has crossed the mercenary battlefield.
One of them said in a deep voice: "But the boss, the defense level of the Xiongnu King City is much stricter than that of the twelve star cities, and now that the polar night is coming, the protection is even more stringent, can we really enter the King City in three days?" ”
The man raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry about it for now, go separately, come and go to the tavern with me, and the rest of the people will disperse to find out the news, remember to find the most chaotic place, the more chaotic it is, the more the news can't be hidden." ”
"Why don't we just go to the local intelligence agency and buy the information?"
The man shook his head: "That's the last step, now that the polar night is coming, the northern frontier itself is a dangerous place, and the protection of the major forces has reached the extreme, and this time we rushed over with a cloak and snow all the way, and when we explored the Yi villages and tribes along the way, from the mouths of those Yi people, I always felt that something was wrong with the nearest extraterritorial snow field." ”
After a pause, the man's brows gradually furrowed, and he said in a low voice: "Even if we disguise ourselves as caravans well enough, according to the temperament of the Yi people of those villages and tribes, they should not be too wary of us, but along the way, some people from villages and tribes are obviously very wary of caravans in the domain like us." ”
Hear the words.
Everyone also showed their approval.
Along the way, their team, although very different from the others and more well-trained, also came under the cover of a caravan.
But when entering the village tribes and inquiring about the news, there are indeed some villages and tribes that are obviously wary of them.
This was basically impossible before!
The man waved his hand and motioned for his companions to disperse to inquire about information.
Immediately, he walked with one of his companions towards the hustle and bustle at the end of the street.
"Wang Yu, if we can't find the young master, we can't see anyone alive, and we can't see the corpse when we die, what should we do?"
The man next to him looked at the leader deeply: "The brothers were here just now, I'm embarrassed to pick your picks directly, but this is also a possible situation, 100,000 stars fell on the snowfield, and no clues were found, in any case, we have to take into account!" ”
Wang Yu glanced at the man beside him coldly, this is the elder of the secret guard, almost joined with him at the beginning of the establishment of the dark guard, so he didn't have too many scruples in terms of words.
"Let's find it first."
Shen Sheng responded with three words, and Wang Yu walked forward.
The hustle and bustle grew clearer.
It can even be said to be very noisy.
But on the snowfield, in any tribal city, this is the norm.
After the polar night fell, many things could not be managed, and the loose management in the tribal city also created the tavern in each city, which was the most mixed place.
It's like a bar in the domain, but the complexity is something that the bar in the domain can't catch up with!
Drunk and golden, the lights are bright.
In the tavern, there is no shortage of upper-class people, let alone mediocre people, and there are even people who hide in the shadows on weekdays to survive, taking advantage of the polar night, pouring into the tavern to get drunk and dream to death.
The two of them squeezed into the crowd and walked along the gate, the lights getting dimmer and dimmer, but the deafening music grew louder and louder.
It's about the same as a bar, but the tavern is noticeably more crowded and more cluttered and simple.
However, for Wang Yu and the others, they didn't come in to get drunk and drunk, but to find out information, so they didn't care too much.
After walking to the bar and sitting down, the two asked the bartender for a drink, and they pretended to chat, but their attention was all on the chatter of the drunks around them.
Wine is bold and courageous, and spit out the truth after drinking, these two sentences are not unreasonable.
Catalyzed by alcohol, the will is relaxed, and the rhetoric becomes somewhat unscrupulous.
"Do you remember the roar of the beast that you heard vaguely three days ago?"
At one of the tables, a strong man was drunkenly holding a wine bottle, boasting proudly.
Wang Yu's brows furrowed slightly, there is still a beast roar in the city?
Unconsciously, his attention was drawn to the past.
As the strong man's words aroused the topic, the companions around him became excited.
"I heard it, I heard it, it is said that it came from the royal city, I have a cousin who is a soldier in the royal city patrol, and I heard him say that it seems that the king opened the beast cage that night!"
"Beast cage? I said why did I hear the roar of the beast that night, oh my God, the king actually opened the beast cage, and there was the top beast in custody, which had not been opened for many years! ”
"But that night was a little strange, the roar of the beast alarmed many people in the royal city, and even those of us who lived in the star city heard it, but then there was suddenly no movement, and there was no detailed explanation from the royal city."
……
On the night three days ago, when the beast cage was opened, the roar of the fierce beast in it alarmed many people.
The three-day fermentation has set off a lot of public opinion in the thirteen cities of the royal court!
However, the king of the Huns deliberately suppressed it, temporarily covered it up, and strictly ordered that everything that happened in the cage of the fighting beast should not be exposed for the time being, so it also made this public opinion intensify without the people's knowledge.
In the past three days, the roar of the beast and the beast cage have become the hottest topics among the ordinary people in the thirteen cities of the royal court!
The strong man who was the first to provoke the topic showed a triumphant expression in the face of everyone's discussions.
He raised his head and poured a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "You don't know, but I know, I can tell you, this is a big event!" I heard that the king opened the beast cage that night because of a person in the domain! ”
"Huh?!"
Wang Yu, who had been listening attentively, suddenly had a glint in his eyes and his heart throbbed.
