Chapter 9 Chasing Qin Wuyang

I don't know how the time in the black and white book is converted, but the day in mid-June can be as hot as August. It wasn't even noon yet, and the ground was seeing a burst of heat.

The fire in the middle of the night in the Zhaoxian Hall has spread all over the streets and alleys in the past three days. Whether it is a soldier standing guard at the gate of the city or a civilian wandering on the street, he likes to mention a few words when he has something to do. It seems that this matter has been raised to the level of national news.

Cao Hong was sitting in a small restaurant near the West City Gate, using a knife to deal with a pot of boiled mutton in front of him little by little. From time to time, he raised his head to glance at the city gate facing him, and observed with a little care.

It has been three days since the jungle chase was forced to retreat, but the target Jing Ke and the others did not succeed as Cao Hong expected, but they didn't know how to take a courtyard in the west of the city and lived quietly.

The target did not run away abnormally, and the "first-line gorge rockfall" plan prepared by Cao Hong naturally failed, so he had to find another way.

The most direct way is nothing more than to break in head-on and shoot Jing Ke's gang directly. However, considering the dozen or so soldiers who saw dexterity that night, Cao Hong decisively gave up.

Besides, isn't it too humiliating to lose your life for an interview?

But if you don't break through, the target's current guard strength is several times stronger than in the past, and there is a base to attack and defend. Withering outside and so on will not help at all.

"Hey!" He sighed and patted his head.

I still don't want to, since there is still a lot of time, so let's not change everything.

Cao Hong made up his mind and prepared to concentrate on dealing with the food in front of him.

Speaking of which, from the time I came to B.C. to the present, it has only been a human meal in the past two days - although the lack of oil and salt is unsatisfactory. But Cao Hong still has a big appetite - if you don't open it, you can't do it, Zhu Ke is a big energy absorber.

was burying his head in the distance, and a **-year-old little buried child suddenly ran in the distance. looked at the door of the store, saw Cao Hong in the corner, his eyes lit up, and he ran over with a snot smoke.

"Cao, it's an outsider from the North Gate!"

Cao Hong raised his head suddenly and said, "How many people?" ”

"I don't know, I just saw the yellow sand flying, and the team was half a mile long."

"Is there cavalry?"

The child shook his head in confusion.

Cao Hong quickly changed his rhetoric and said, "Are there any horsemen in the team, and how many horses are there?" ”

The child nodded quickly: "Yes, it's a lot, there are three or five horses!" ”

Cao Hong's mind was racing, and he had already counted. So he smiled and patted the child's head, and said, "Good job, not bad." Here you go! ”

Reaching into his bosom, he took two or three knife coins, put them in the center of the child, and said; "Go ahead, call your friends, and say don't be staring, go play by yourself!"

The child's eyes lit up and he ran out with a cheer. laughed and jumped and ran away. Cao Hong pushed the table, grabbed the cloth bag beside him, and strode out to the north gate.

Information is a must for that industry, and it's especially important for killers. In later generations, the collection of information was naturally done by specialized people, and Cao Hong's job was only the executor. And here, if you want to grasp the information, you naturally have to rely on yourself.

And the method chosen by Cao Hong is taught in many TV dramas - using children.

The role of children is still very important. At this time, unlike later generations, there were not many schools and classes that made people numb their scalps to lock them up. The children, who are not laborers and can't stay idle, mostly choose to play outside.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that there is no need to worry about revealing the filling at all when using them as eyeliner, and there are quite a few of them, which can spread over a large area. Sure, naturally, the intelligence is not high, and the ability to execute and be controlled is not up to standard at all.

However, it is still capable of seeing if there is a large group of people entering the city.

After three days of going to the restaurant and employing these little eyes and ears, the money bag was already empty.

But Cao Hong doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. At this time, all he cares about is the team.

"Are you so sure that the person who came must be the pursuer of the Qin State?" Zhu wondered.

"I can't be sure," Cao Hong strode forward and said, "But the boss was assassinated, and the assassin ran away, which is a dereliction of duty in the eyes of the Manchu civil and military forces of the entire Qin State, even if the King of Qin himself doesn't say it, the people below will chase and kill Jing Ke like they beat chicken blood and hunted down and killed their father's enemy." ”

"Even so, are you sure someone can find Jing Ke?" Zhu He said with a smile: "It's B.C., and the Qin State is at war at this time, preparing to complete the last step of dominating the world. How can there be extra manpower to find a needle in a haystack! ”

"So, I suspect, that's the real reason I'm here!" Cao Hong said calmly: "Did you say yes? Smoothing out the small waves of history? ”

Zhu Hehe smiled and did not answer.

Zhu didn't speak, and Cao Hong was not interested in asking about it. Since the moment he got the black and white book, Cao Hong has been reversing the attributes of this mission. Although there is very little information in hand, it can still be determined that this mission has nothing to do with any such as a long history.

An employer who can give such a task, whoever it is, is certainly human. As for who it is, Cao Hong has no interest in knowing.

----------------

At the same time, Jing Ke was hiding in the wing of the compound.

Jing Ke was lying flat on the couch, chatting with the dog butcher sitting next to him.

The two of them looked much better, and the anxious and gloomy color had dissipated, replaced by a smile of relief and satisfaction.

Fan Xiaojiang stood at the door, looking at Jing Ke and the others with a cold expression, as if looking at two lifeless stones. In the past three days, whether Jing Ke fainted due to excessive blood loss, or the dog slaughterer roared furiously or knelt down and begged, his expression did not change in the slightest, as if he had been completely invaded by this hatred that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Anyone can see this Fan Junior's hatred for Jing Ke and the dog slaughterer. But even so, he still ordered the doctors who came with the army to treat Jing Ke.

It was difficult for the Dog Slayer to understand his state, or even why he didn't just kill them for revenge. Is this for the country and the people?

The dog butcher didn't understand, but he knew that these people wouldn't hurt Jing Ke.

The news had been passed back, and Jing Ke felt a lot more relaxed. Now that you have completed your national mission, you can think about yourself next. Although he was a little sorry for Fan Yuzhi in his heart, he was not ready to risk his life for this.

In his opinion, it was a deal. I'll borrow my head, you lend it to me, you like me, although there is a human life in it, it is a necessary consumable. For the sake of the country, you are glorious. Just say it, it's not worth going too far.

Therefore, Jing Ke was not very enthusiastic about Fan Xiaojiang, and after waking up, he mostly sang with the dog slaughterer, which seemed to be a return to his previous days in Yan Kingdom. "Wow......"

A series of hurried footsteps, a soldier strode in, attached to Fan Xiaojiang's ear and said something quickly, with an anxious look on his face.

Jing Ke and the others sensed that something was wrong, and stopped to look at them.

Fan Xiaojiang's eyes narrowed, glanced at Jing Ke, revealed a hint of ridicule, and said coldly: "Gather people!" After speaking, he ignored Jing Ke and the others, and strode out.

Jing Ke frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier probably admired his feat of stabbing the King of Qin for thousands of miles, hesitated for a moment and replied: "There is a brother at the north gate who is now a soldier of the Qin State who has entered the city, seventy or eighty people are complete with swords and armor, and the leading general is actually ......"

"Who is it?" The dog butcher asked hurriedly.

“…… It's Qin Wuyang! After speaking, he hurriedly gave a salute and ran out quickly.

Jing Ke's pupils shrank suddenly, he was silent for a long time, and sneered: "I see, I see, no wonder he showed a look of panic before he went to the main hall to speak, it turned out to be a hint to King Qin, no wonder I stepped forward with a picture, and before I could say a word, King Qin drew his sword and slashed it." It is no wonder that the pursuers of the Qin State are so difficult, no matter what means they use, they are like appendages. ”

The dog slaughterer came to his senses: "Qingqing, you mean ......?"

"Humph!" Jing Ke snorted coldly: "I think it's not just Qin Wuyang, the entire family under his grandfather Qin Kai has already taken refuge in the Qin State!" ”

The dog butcher said awe-inspiringly: "Then we go back to Yan Country and don't we go into the mouth of a tiger?" ”

"No," Jing Ke gritted his teeth and slowly got up, "The more this happens, the more we have to go back." Even Qin Kai, the famous virtuous general of the Great Yan Kingdom, has already been lowered, and the country does not know how many moths will come out. The only way to do this is to warn Prince Dan that it is not too late to remedy it in time, and when the Qin army reaches the city, it will be too late! ”

The dog butcher cautiously stood up and looked outside, and saw that the soldiers guarding outside were gone, and only the physician who accompanied the army was tinkering with some medicinal herbs in the ear room. Only then did he turn back to Jing Ke and say, "What should we do?" ”

Jing Ke struggled to stand up slowly, tried to stretch his arms, felt his body, and said, "Don't worry, since Qin Wuyang has already entered the city, there must be some surveillance at the city gate." Rushing out of the city is harmful. Besides, we have to prepare first, prepare dry food, horses and other hurrying items! ”

The dog slaughterer hesitated for a moment and said, "Qingqing, do you want to sue General Fan about this?" ”

Jing Ke groaned for a while, shook his head and said, "I still don't want it, he is young and vigorous, and he hates me in his heart." He won't believe anything I say. However, the fact that he was able to resist not killing me this time just proved his innocence. It's ridiculous to say, I thought that the person who helped was the lackey of the Qin State, but the person who hated me to the bone was the virtuous and good general of the Yan State. What an irony! ”

The dog butcher nodded: "That's fine, just look at General Fan's expression, sooner or later you will have to fight, your injuries have not healed, at least it is the limit, it is not appropriate to do it with others!" ”

Jing Ke shook his head and said, "What are you talking about, you go and prepare, I'll go to the doctor and ask for a few more medicines." When the time comes, we'll be out right away! ”
