Chapter 104: Arming
On the afternoon of the second day, after I woke up, I hurriedly went to He Feng after lunch, and told him about the Fuso Ninja Meeting's sneak attack in Beiping, and mentioned the matter of city defense, and He Feng readily agreed. It turns out that when He Feng learned ninjutsu, he also learned a lot of ways to enter the city, how to prepare for ninjas entering the city, He Feng can indeed provide a lot of reference advice.
Xiao Yunmei heard that He Feng was going to participate in the defense of the city wall, so she made a fuss and wanted to go. It seems that Cui Mo has exhausted his talents, and he will no longer be able to perform new small methods, otherwise Xiao Yunmei will not have the leisure to listen to me and He Feng. Since Xiao Yunmei was going to follow, Cui Mo was cheeky and said that he also wanted to see He Feng's means of defense.
After He Feng finished preparing his things, the four of us came to the meeting place with General Li in the early morning, and General Li had already led people to wait at the meeting point.
I introduced everyone to each other, and after introducing He Feng, I jumped outside the city wall and showed everyone that if you are a ninja, you should climb over the wall and enter the city like the wind.
The top of the city wall is about four or five zhang high from the ground, and the highest point can reach nine to ten zhang. The point of the He winnowing jump is the lowest point.
I saw that He Feng was seven or eight zhang away from the city wall, shooting a dart every other zhang from low to high, and each dart shot into the gap in the brick wall, and after a while, the dart formed an oblique line from bottom to top.
He Feng ran to the city wall, jumped lightly, landed on the dart closest to the ground, and then jumped continuously, stepping on the dart, using the dart as a ladder, and easily kicked on the city wall.
Cui Mo smiled, I'm afraid this trick won't work. The dart had to be aimed at the brick cracks, and could only be done at night when there was moonlight. It was so close that the defenders on the city walls had already discovered the people under the city.
He Feng sneered, what if the ninja wore clothes of a similar color to the turf on the ground?
I remembered that He Feng and the other three were wearing green clothes in the bamboo forest and stood close to me, but I didn't notice it, so I thought it was true of what He Feng said. If you really put on grass-green clothes and lie still in the grass, and wait for the patrol to walk away, this dart ladder can be completed.
Xiao Yunmei also followed He Feng and said to Cui Mo, what do you know, the stealth technique of ninja is not covered. The old lady ...... At the beginning, I also used to follow the way of ninjas, and I was caught by them close to the point.
General Li frowned and asked, how can this be guarded against?
He Feng said, clean up all the trees and turf within ten zhang outside the city wall, and don't give ninja bunkers.
After saying that, He Feng jumped off the city wall again, walked to a distance of ten zhang from the city wall, took out a bow and crossbow from his backpack, put the crossbow arrow attached to the string on the crossbow, raised the bow and crossbow and shot at the end of the city wall. There were three or four barbs on the crossbow arrow, and He Feng pulled it, and the barbs hooked the inner corners of the city wall. Then He Feng fixed the rope, climbed upside down along the rope, and after a while climbed to the side of the city wall, his hand probed, touched the outer corner of the city wall, and with a little force, the person turned into the city wall.
Cui Mo smiled again, this arrow crossbow is iron, and the sound made by the inner corner of the city wall is not small, and it is quiet in the dead of night, how can the city guards not hear this sound.
He Fengdao, if the hook is tied to a cotton cloth wrap, the sound will be much quieter. Then the rope is painted black, and when there is no moon, it is extremely difficult to find.
General Li nodded again and again, and asked, how can this be cracked?
He Fengdao, all the inner corners of the city wall are rounded by stonemasons, and the hook can be hung without angles.
He Feng talked eloquently and talked about many ways to enter the city, such as digging tunnels used by ninjas to attack Master Zhengyan's mansion before, carrying paper kites, etc., He Feng made cracked answers one by one.
General Li ordered someone to finish the record, and hurriedly arranged for the people below to arrange it according to He Feng's words.
He Feng saw that he was out of the limelight, and couldn't help but ask Cui Modao, I don't know what the son of the sword god thinks about the city defense?
Cui Mo saw that Xiao Yunmei also looked at him expectantly, shook the streamer sword in his hand, and said, My method is the simplest, let's kill one by one, and kill one pair at a time.
He Feng was about to laugh when he suddenly saw someone hurrying over and said to me, there is important news.
The person who came was General Wang, who was extremely familiar with me, who was guarding Luoyang that day, and introduced me to the White Horse Temple, and later rescued me in Dengfeng.
Xiao Yunmei and others listened to what we said about the content of confidential, interesting and far-reaching.
After greeting General Wang for a while, I asked, is Liu Lao coming back?
General Wang said, no. We have found a Taoist stronghold in the city, and many Taoist masters have infiltrated the city. King Yan ordered the city to be closed in the morning, and the gates of the city had been closed. After we have taken the stronghold of Taoism today, tomorrow we will begin to purge the city of fine work. King Yan specially sent me to tell me not to tell others what I talked about at yesterday's banquet, so as not to leak the plan.
I nodded, it's natural. These sneaking Taoist people must have planned to ambush in Beiping, assassinate the generals defending the city when the emperor's army came, and open the city gate to meet the outside world.
General Wang said, it should be so. King Yan has arranged for a large team of men and horses to go to exterminate, and there are many masters among them. When the White Lotus Sect Leader Tang learned about it, he asked for orders to go together, and King Yan agreed.
I frowned and asked, "How long have you been there?"
General Wang said, it has been half an hour. The stronghold is in the Li family compound in the north of the city. The Li family's business is all over my Ming Dynasty, although the head of the family has a lot of money, but over the years he has been contributing money and food to support King Yan to resist the Mongol army, so he has always been very close to King Yan. I never thought that he was from the emperor's side, but fortunately, King Yan had all installed eyeliner in these big families......
General Wang kept talking about the Li family, and I was so uneasy that I didn't listen to the rest of the words.
After bidding farewell to General Wang, I took Xiao Yunmei and others back to the house, and Xiao Yunmei saw that my face was not good, and asked me what happened.
I stopped, looked at the silver bracelet named "Lian Li Zhi" in Xiao Yunmei's hand, looked away, and asked, Yun Mei, do you want to know what the cherry spirit looks like?
When Xiao Yunmei saw me mention Sakura Ling, she didn't know what I was thinking, and she saw that I was depressed, so she replied cautiously, don't think about it, I also know that Shi Niang must be extremely beautiful.
I didn't answer, and when everyone saw that I was silent, they didn't dare to speak, so they walked silently all the way.
I secretly thought that this time the Taoist family must be the best in order to succeed, and I don't know how many masters there are in the Yanwang Platoon, and how many masters in the White Lotus Sect follow Tang Sai'er......
Just thinking about it, I saw Yuying standing at the door of Xiao Yunmei and the others' house from a distance, walking around, as if she was in a hurry. Yuying greeted us with a smile on her face when she saw us coming back.
I grabbed Yuying's hands and asked, what's wrong?
Yuying Dao, the Tang Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect and I have known each other for many years, and we have always been like sisters. In the morning, you haven't woken up, she came to talk to me about the past, we were chatting about the rise, there were thousands of household chiefs to invite Sister Tang, I asked only to find out that my father found a large number of Taoist people hidden in the city, it is said that they are all good martial arts, my father wants to borrow some good hands from the White Lotus Sect to help exterminate them. As a result, Sister Tang heard it and said that she would personally bring someone over to assist, and I was very worried about her safety.
My brow jumped again, and I had a bad feeling.
Xiao Yunmei glanced at me, and suddenly opened her mouth to ask Yuying, Sister County Lord, does Sister Tang look the same as Miss Wudang?
Yuying looked at me and hesitated, I have never met Miss Sakura, I wonder if the two of them look alike. After speaking, Yuying asked me, do the two of them look alike?
I nodded, and said, "The two of them are like twins."
No wonder, no wonder. Yuying muttered.
I asked, what's wrong?
Yuying said, this morning, Sister Tang chatted with me, all about the past of Miss Sakura and Xianggong. Last night, my father called someone to bring a message, saying that you and Sister Tang will go to the city wall to see the city defense, did you ...... last night Did you mistake her for Sakura Girl?
I didn't say anything.
Yuying said again, looking at her appearance, she should have not slept all night, and she was tired when she came in the morning. Maybe Xianggong caused her trouble.
I nodded, it was my fault.
Yuying said again, I wanted to ask Xianggong to go and see Sister Tang, but I was afraid that she would have a chance. If this is the case, it is inconvenient for the minister to come forward. Sister Tang is a widow, if her husband causes her trouble, she will lose her reputation for no reason.
I blurted out that I ......
Then I can't say anything.
Yuying looked at my embarrassed face, suddenly smiled, and said, What about teasing you, I am just a good sister, I don't want anything to happen to her. Or ask the husband to go out and see if she is safe. If the situation is not good, you still need to work hard to save her.
When Xiao Yunmei heard this, she hurriedly grabbed me and said, Master, I also want to go and see the teacher...... Look at what Sister Tang looks like.
Xiao Yunmei almost said that she wanted to see "Shi Niang", which shocked me into a cold sweat.
I said to Xiao Yunmei, when I bring Sect Master Tang back, you have to see it. It's very dangerous over there, you stay. After speaking, he turned his head to He Fengdao, you take care of Sister Yun.
He Fengdao, okay.
I was afraid that the opponent would be difficult, and I said to Cui Mo, can my junior brother go together to help me.
Cui Mo pulled out the Streamer Sword Dao and said, Senior Brother. How do you want those bullnoses to die.
Xiao Yunmei didn't listen, she was still clamoring to go, Yuying persuaded for a while, and Xiao Yunmei agreed not to follow.
When we reached the corner of the street, we turned around and waved at Yuying and the others. Yuying and Xiaoyunmei also kept waving their hands. I saw that although Yuying was smiling and standing between Xiao Yunmei and He Feng, she seemed to be smiling a little lonely.
Without thinking about it, I turned my head and asked Cui Modao, do you know how to get to the Li family's compound?
Cui Mo smiled and said, Senior brother, you have comprehended the power of swordsmanship, and the last time I saw the power of swordsmanship, I know that this swordsmanship is no longer as good as yours. However, when it comes to light skills, although my senior brother is fast and can avoid my sword intent, I am afraid that it is still slightly inferior to me......
I had a flash of inspiration and said, if you lose, I don't know if you can make a bet with your father.
Cui Mo said alertly, if I lose, what will my father promise you? That day, I saw you and my father muttering in the lobby for a while.
I provoked him and said, since you can't be the master, then you don't need to compare.
Cui Moya gritted his teeth and said, "I've done it!" But if you lose......
I will persuade Sister Yun to marry you.
Cui Mo's face was full of spring breeze, as if he had already won, and he said, a word is a certainty.
When I asked the way to the Li family's compound, Cui Mo said, three, two, one, start......
The word "start" fell, and the two of us exerted force at the same time, Cui Mo rushed forward, but I jumped into the air, and then reversed in the air, with my feet up and down, diagonally facing the direction of the Li family's compound, and slapped back with all my palms, only to hear the sound of "boom", and the whole person was as fast as a meteor, speeding away.
Faintly, I heard Cui Mo shouting under him, Damn!
