Chapter 10: Halfway Interception 2
It was the tall and wide that gave the order.
When this order was heard in Hu Biao's ears, the wild slashing that had just stopped, and a few more slashes, the coke flew wildly. The regular garrison of Dingjun City has a total of 3,000 people, and after removing those who ask for leave, there are still more than 2,950 people left. Originally, there were three shifts to guard the city walls, that is, at the moment, the other two shifts were resting, and there were less than a thousand soldiers, patrolling the city walls and the various gates, occasionally interspersed with patrols through the streets of the city.
Now that there is a sudden increase of 1,000 soldiers to guard the City Lord's Mansion, there are less than 2,000 people left, which means that some must be transferred from the soldiers defending the city, and then some soldiers on duty will be transferred to guard the City Lord's Mansion. After such a lot of effort, Hu Biao knew it in his heart. This is tantamount to Gao Dakuan sending a thousand people to watch every move of the City Lord's Mansion. The fox finally showed its tail. Even so, what should be moved still has to be moved. Soldiers are fast. It is necessary to let the master in the capital know about the changes here as soon as possible.
"Someone." Hu Biao shouted loudly after hearing the sound of tall and wide's departing footsteps disappearing.
"Young master, subordinates are here." A man in black immediately appeared behind Hu Biao and bowed down.
"Hu Jun, although you are not a relative of the City Lord's Mansion, but when the City Lord was here, he always regarded you as his own, and now that the City Lord is suffering, there is something to entrust, are you willing?" Hu Biao turned around and stared intently at the man in black.
"The subordinates will definitely go to the soup and fire, and they will not give up to repay the great kindness of the city lord." The man in black said in a deep voice.
"Good. You take my handwritten letter, hurry to the capital, and hand over this secret letter to the prince. Remember, it must be opened by the prince himself. Hu Biao commanded.
"Yes, my subordinates remember."
The man in black took the letter, sewed it into the pocket of his close-fitting clothes, and then quietly left the city lord's mansion and went to the city gate. He left the City Lord's Mansion with his front foot, and someone with his back foot reported the news of someone leaving the City Lord's Mansion to Gao Dakuan. Gao Dakuan immediately sent two people, one to the city gate, to ask for a slight delay when the people there were to let them go, but also to release the people. The other walked through the night, and in a few moments, they arrived at the small courtyard where Wang Ziyu and the others were hiding. Falling silently, the man quickly knocked on the door of the West Wing.
Very slight sound of landing, like a fallen leaf. Wang Ziyu didn't think much about it, but when he heard the knock on the door, he was shocked. This person has such a high level of martial arts, isn't his whereabouts exposed? Thinking of this, he didn't speak, and after a while, he jumped on the side of the door, and at the same time shot a leaf dart, which directly penetrated the wooden door and shot at the person outside.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man quickly dodged the dart, and then hurriedly whispered: "Brother Tai, don't do it, it's your own person." ”
"Your own people? There is no such thing as a person of one's own, where did one of one's own people come from? Wang Ziyu replied in a low voice, and another leaf dart was already in his hand, ready to be served at any time.
"You misunderstood, brother, I am a close confidant of Gao Dakuan, the defender of Dingjun City, and Gao Dakuan is a person of His Majesty the Emperor, do you understand?"
"Whose man is the city lord?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
Wang Ziyu thought about it, this is a bit reliable. But he was still not at ease, and asked again: "What are you looking for me?" Also, how did you know I was here? This is the point that Wang Ziyu feels most frightened. What does it mean if someone keeps stalking them and they don't find out? The opponent's kung fu is higher than his own, and he can kill himself at any time. That's too scary to hide.
"When the city lord sent someone to assassinate you, General Gao sent me to secretly follow you, with the purpose of protecting you. I didn't expect those three people to be raped by you. I followed from a distance, and I rescued you if I needed to, and I saw you hiding here, which was safer, and I left. ”
"What are you going to do now?" Wang Ziyu continued to ask.
"Now Hu Biao, the young master of the City Lord's Mansion, has sent someone out of the city overnight and rushed to the capital to send a secret letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to report the situation here. It is estimated that he wants the prince to send someone to take over here as soon as possible. And General Gao is inconvenient to directly send someone to kill the messenger, so he wants to ask Gongzi to do it for him. ”
When Wang Ziyu heard this, his heart immediately brightened. On the one hand, the people who protect His Majesty the Emperor, and on the other hand, the people who want to kill the opponents, they don't make a move, leaving a way back. That's smart. If people have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, they will become fine. Although Zuo Xi has just entered the rivers and lakes, he has the soul of Wang Ziyu, which is soaked in various palace fighting plots, and it is absolutely thorough. But even so, it is estimated that it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to leave Dingjun City.
"Yes. But there are so many patrolling soldiers on this wall that it is not convenient for me to go out of the city. Also, I lack a fast horse. Wang Ziyu made a request.
"This General Gao has already thought about it, and has already dispatched a thousand soldiers to guard the City Lord's Mansion, and there are not many soldiers patrolling the city walls anymore. I'll send a horse out of town with you. ”
"Okay, I'll see you three miles outside the city gate." Wang Ziyu didn't open the door from beginning to end to prevent traps.
"Then I'll go and prepare the horses first, and wait for the son there." The voice fell, and the man disappeared into the night.
Wang Ziyu hurriedly called Xiaohe, changed back into men's clothes again, and then carried the older girl back to the bed in this room and covered the quilt. Wang Ziyu carried the small lotus on his back and came to the city wall again. Sure enough, the patrol soldiers on the city wall have become two teams, and the current two teams are much smaller than the number just now. Wang Ziyu carried Xiaohe on his back and easily went out of the city, and when he left the city wall for a distance, the city gate opened, and a man in black rode a horse and quickly ran ahead. Wang Ziyu carried Xiaohe on his back and quickly followed the direction of the horse. Sanlidi, for Wang Ziyu, is just a matter of a moment. And the horseman was under the horse, leading the horse and looking at Wang Ziyu.
"Childe is fast, and this horse will be handed over to Childe. Then the person who delivered the letter from the City Lord's Mansion would go out of the city, and he would also take this official road, and the two of them could intercept and kill them in the mountain road ahead. In the dark night, Wang Ziyu couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, he could only see a general outline.
"Okay, don't leave it at that. By the way, I went to the capital in front, and in all the cities I passed, which cities were the forces of His Majesty? Which ones are someone else's? Wang Ziyu immediately thought of an important point. If it is not the sphere of influence of His Majesty the Emperor, then the jade plaque cannot be used at will, so as not to invite disaster. Although the shore of the land is not the king's land, the whole world is not the king's minister. This is only to speak during the period of the emperor's effective rule. Once it enters turmoil, whose land and whose ministers are waiting to be sold at a price.
"One hundred and twenty miles ahead, there is Fengxian City, which belongs to the descendants of His Majesty the Emperor; Seventy miles later, there was Luonan City, which was the sphere of influence of the three princes; A hundred miles later, there is Shuofang City, which is the power of the prince. After that, it is the capital city of Daluocheng, this city is more complicated, the admiral of the nine gates is the prince's people, and other important positions are the three princes' people. ”
"Why is there no one from His Majesty the Emperor in the Great King City?" Wang Ziyu was shocked when he heard this. This capital is not in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, so it will go to nine deaths and one life. If this is the time of usurpation, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?
"Because His Majesty the Emperor has 20,000 Praetorian Guards, plus 3,000 Qingying Guards. Although the total number is only 23,000, it is the elite of the entire Daluo Kingdom, not to mention the other troops in the entire capital, even if the prince transfers another 100,000 troops, he may not be able to take these two troops. ”
"That's good. As long as His Majesty the Emperor is worry-free. Then I'll leave now. With that, Wang Ziyu got on the horse with Xiaohe on his back and galloped away in the direction of Da Luo City. The horseman quickly disappeared into the night.
"Childe, do you think that person is reliable? Will they send someone to intercept and kill us halfway? Xiaohe sat in front of Wang Ziyu, leaning back against her body, feeling very safe.
"It's not very likely. In that case, it would be better to kill us directly in our hiding place. After all, our whereabouts have been revealed. And it was exposed from the beginning, and they were not revealed to the city lord, which shows that the sides are different. ”
"What is taking sides?" Xiaohe was puzzled.
That is to say, their faction does not follow the city lord, but has different masters to follow. That's taking sides. Wang Ziyu was a little helpless, after this spanned a thousand years, sure enough, many of the words exchanged are very different, fortunately, in this Daluo country, it is Huaxia, if it is a few regional dialects or foreign languages, it will be troublesome.
"I see. Which team are we on? Xiaohe asked.
"His Majesty the Emperor Sima Hong." Wang Ziyu didn't think about it, and said in a low voice.
"Wow, Miss is so smart." Xiaohe let out an exclamation.
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Ziyu learned the tone of the ancients.
"Miss hugs the emperor's thigh, then it must be no problem. After all, the emperor has the final say in the whole world. Xiaohe said innocently.
"You, you also said that the emperor has the final say, we stayed in the city just now, and we were not assassinated because we took out the jade plate given by the emperor? If it weren't for Miss Ben's kung fu of two tricks and three-legged cats, it is estimated that the two of us would have been chopped into human meat buns and sold by now. Wang Ziyu touched Xiaohe's face. Xiaohe felt that his face was itchy, but it was very comfortable.
"Also, there are always places where the emperor is far away from the mountains and His Majesty can't control them." Xiaohe sighed.
"That's right. No matter where we are in the future, we can't use this jade plate easily. Wang Ziyu also sighed. Originally, I ran to this ancient time, and finally mixed up a mixed game of cards, but almost died. It seems that he is not born to eat white food, and he still needs to work hard for everything. While talking, the two rode into the forest road, and after a bend, Wang Ziyu stopped and let Xiaohe stay by his horse's side. She returned more than a hundred meters away, hid in a tree branch, and looked at the way she came.
A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and he galloped straight towards Wang Ziyu's side. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, it is a fast horse. It seems that the people are coming. Wang Ziyu picked a few leaves, and a interception was about to be staged. Strangely, when approaching the bend in the forest, the visitor actually stopped, motionless, as if sensing something. Wang Ziyu also wondered, he hid it very well, how could he be discovered by this guy so easily?
It is said that it can't, is there such a master in this city lord's mansion? As soon as he thought of the master, Wang Ziyu immediately thought of the person who was following him. You really have to be careful, if this guy's kung fu is better than his own, then it's troublesome. Therefore, the sneak attack must hit the ground with one hit, and if the first blow fails, the next trouble will be. With Xiaohe, he definitely didn't run as fast as this person. Then I had to lure this person away first, and then turn back to find Xiaohe.
Thinking of a way out, she watched every move of the comer, and as soon as she entered the effective range of the dart, the interception would start immediately. A moment later, the man moved, the horse's hooves sounded, and the darts came out.
