Chapter 44: Waiting and Arrival

Bang bang bang bang ......

After walking along the dark passage for about a pillar of incense, it was probably because the other party thought that it was very safe and would not be discovered, so there was no one to guard it along the way, and there was no mechanism in the dark passage, even if there was no fork in the road, Huang Chong went all the way unimpeded.

As soon as he turned a corner, Huang Chong heard the sound of striking iron in front of him, and his steps slowed down unconsciously.

In a huge cave, the size of two standard football fields, there were thirty or so shirtless men beating irons, and judging by their workmanship, they were definitely professional blacksmiths, and these blacksmiths had chains on their feet, and it was clear that these people were also imprisoned.

There were also nearly a hundred scrawny men who carried all sorts of things to their designated locations during the shuttle, in addition to armed guards patrolling back and forth, and nine healthy guards with whips in their hands supervising them, and if they noticed that someone was lazy, their whips would be whipped mercilessly on them.

"It's really crazy that these people are building weapons here privately, no wonder the government wants to close the mountain, so that's the case."

"But how is this going to get through here?"

Previously, Huang Chong was still mocking the cave built by this group of people not only had no guards, but also did not even have a decent fork in the road, allowing him to find this place so easily, and now Huang Chong must admit that his judgment was too early.

Now if Huang Chong wants to continue to walk inside, he must pass through this cave, there is no other way, and this is undoubtedly a very difficult thing, Huang Chong can neither know stealth nor escape technique, how can he sneak in quietly under the noses of more than 100 people?

Sure enough, the simplest is the hardest.

Huang Chong also considered whether it was possible to use the Youqiang Gong to avoid the eyes of these people from the top of the cave, after all, people generally don't look up to look at the top of their heads, but this method was quickly denied, first of all, the distance is too long, the "endurance" of the Youqiang Gong is too poor, and secondly, the entrance to the next passage is not high, and it is guarded, and it is impossible to hide from their eyes if they want to pass.

In desperation, Huang Chong could only wait, waiting for the opportunity to appear.

……

"My lord, I still don't understand, why did we come to Youzhou?" Di Renjie and the three of them found an inn to settle down, and in the guest room, Li Yuanfang asked with a blank face.

"To get to the bottom of the mission's case, of course." Di Renjie took a sip of tea and said as a matter of course.

Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang glanced at each other, and Hu Jinghui asked, "Can ...... The mission was killed in Shihechuan in Gannan Province, we should go to Shihechuan, Youzhou is thousands of miles away from Shihechuan, this, what does this have to do with Youzhou? ”

"Yes, what General Tiger said, it is exactly what the humble man thinks in his heart, and it seems that we are a little different from each other when we come here."

Hearing this, Di Renjie showed his signature smile: "In my opinion, Shi Hechuan of Nagannan Province is just a suspicious soldier, not the truth. ”

"This?" After listening to Di Renjie's explanation, the two were even more puzzled, Hu Jinghui said: "My lord's words are really unfathomable, I won't tell you, all the ministers in the DPRK and China thought that you would go to Gannan Province, at least you should go to Gannan Province to investigate the scene, but the first thing I didn't expect was that the emperor actually sent you to be sacrificed to sweep the northern capital, and the second thing I didn't expect was that you didn't even enter the door when you arrived in Taiyuan, so you left the brigade and went straight to Youzhou, to be honest, my head was about to break through in the past two days, but I don't understand what the adults mean by this?" ”

Di Renjie smiled, looked at Li Yuanfang and asked, "Yuanfang, do you remember those Qianniuwei who pretended to pass on the holy decree?" ”

"Remember," Li Yuanfang nodded, and then came to his senses: "Yes, the lord once said that those people had Youzhou accents. ”

"Hmm!" Di Renjie nodded, sighed and said: "Not only them, but the masked people who chased and killed us later also had Youzhou accents, and the mysterious person Liu Jin who was locked up in the earthen kiln was also captured in Youzhou, and at the same time, those Turkic people who pretended to be Turkic missions wanted to pass through Youzhou, and all the clues pointed to Youzhou, so I concluded that Youzhou must be inextricably linked to this case, which is why we came to Youzhou this time." ”

Those who pretended to be missions, under the interrogation of the internal guards, spit everything out.

They were originally Turkic, and they were subordinates of Modu, who was the uncle of the Jili Khan and a representative of the main war faction in the Turkic country.

This fake mission was Modu's arrangement, and the person who commanded their specific operation this time was a person named Jin Mulan, but who this Jin Mulan was, and their conspiracy and other important news, these Turks did not know, they just acted according to orders.

After successfully leaving Luoyang City, the two sides acted separately, where the other party went, the Turks did not know, their plan was to pretend to be slaves, all the way north, through Youzhou, into the Turks, but they did not expect to be Huang Chong in Jizhou to see the flaw, and was driven to the end of a nest of officials.

Regarding the specific circumstances of this interrogation, Di Renjie also learned about it as soon as possible.

"I see, but since our destination is Youzhou, why do we talk about the Northern Capital Sacrifice Sweep, isn't this an extra move?"

"Don't underestimate our opponents this time, they have their hands and eyes all over the sky, our actions are under their surveillance, the so-called sacrificial sweep is a trick, the purpose is to attack the east and the west, the darkness of Chen Cang, and catch the opponent off guard."

"So what are we going to do next?"

"Tomorrow we'll go for a walk in Big Willow Village." After chatting with the shopkeeper before, Di Renjie also knew some of the situation in Daliushu Village.

"Hmm."

……

At night, Di Renjie was lying on the bed, already asleep, when a black shadow flashed out of the window, and in a blink of an eye, this black shadow crept to Di Renjie's bedside.

"Bang."

Just as the black shadow stretched out his hand towards Di Renjie, the windows scattered and burst out, Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui flew in, and the chain knife and the Youlan sword attacked the black shadow at the same time.

The black shadow was startled, jumped up, and swept over the heads of the two, Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang turned around, the weapon in their hands stabbed and split, and saw that the mysterious man was about to lose his hand, at this critical juncture, the mysterious man kicked the wall with both feet and flew out upside down.

"Whew!" Li Yuanfang's fingers pressed the mechanism on the handle of the knife, and the chain knife shot at the mysterious man.

"Keep people under the knife!" Di Renjie shouted, Li Yuanfang heard this, his wrist flipped, the chain knife and the mysterious man passed by, the mysterious man took the opportunity to escape, and when the three of them ran to the window, the mysterious man had disappeared without a trace.

"My lord, if you don't shout, it will kill his dog."

"Forget it, you have to be forgiving and forgiving."

"But he's a killer!"

"Oh, how so?" Di Renjie asked a rhetorical question, and directly confused all the two masters.
