Chapter 173: Sneak attack on the county government
"I'm afraid you don't have to go north. Now that you have arrived in Linqu County, let the last general give you a ride and continue to go east, His Royal Highness King Yan has already set off for Jiaodong a few days ago. If you go east, you won't be able to run into him. ”
What did Zhu Di do in Jiaodong? He had no way to besiege Jinan before, so he ran back to Beijing by himself, but the large army continued to fight south. In particular, Zhang Yu's troops seemed to be alone in the depths, but in fact, tens of thousands of troops secretly went south from Jiaodong and cooperated with Zhang Yu to form a flanking attack on Jiangsu.
Could it be that Zhu Di's arrival in Jiaodong is related to the golden vein? It should not be, this golden vein is not a piece of paper and a sword, something that cannot be moved, he does not need to take risks, not to mention that now the whole of Shandong except Jinan is under his control.
"Well, I'm not going to do it. "Since you have already gained the trust of this general, it is not interesting to stay here," I almost forgot, daring to ask the general's surname. ”
"The last general, Xu Zhigao, is General Zhu Neng's subordinate. ”
"General Xu, fortunately, those two Taoist priests and a tomboy are my companions, can you let me take them away with you?"
"Of course, as long as Zixu Temple doesn't harm people anymore. I didn't know my family before, so I made Brother Mu suffer, and I almost beat you, I'm really ashamed. ”
"Where's the word, isn't this also a no-fight and no acquaintance? ”
The two of us were polite for a while, and we almost walked to the lobby holding hands like friends in ancient times. I looked at it calmly, my legs were already weak, and I sat on my calves with my buttocks.
"By the way, General Xu, can you let me take this calm away with you?" I can't tell Xu Zhigao that I kept him as a shield.
"This person has a smooth tone, Brother Mu should be careful. ”
"I understand it below. ”
"General, you can't let him take me away. "Calm down now look at me like looking at the plague god," I am the celebrant next to the emperor and the eunuch of the palm seal calm down. ”
"What?" Xu Zhigao was also shocked when he heard that he calmly shook out his old bottom.
I can't hide it now, but it shows that Calm has a secret, and it is a secret that makes him willing to sacrifice himself. Otherwise, he would not have told a general of the Northern Army that he was the emperor's lackey.
"General Xu, in fact, he is the one who came to Zixu Temple to choose beauties for the emperor. "I can only tell the truth.
"Those two character women?"
"The two of them were rescued by Zaixia, and they were bumped into by the general on the way down the mountain, because they were worried that the general would not ask about it, so they made up nonsense, saying that we were thieves who trafficked in human beings. ”
"I see, I said that Brother Mu is a talent, how can he do that kind of dirty deed. ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense, the general has known those two women for a long time. They were tricked up the mountain by thieves for a treasure map. ”
"Treasure map?" At this time, Xu Zhigao's eyes were also a little suspicious when he looked at me.
This dead eunuch really doesn't know whether he lives or dies, and sooner or later I'm going to cut him off.
"This is a plan related to King Yan, so it's inconvenient to say more. ”
"But how do you prove that you are Mu Wu?" Xu Zhigao asked, "What if you are an impostor?"
Although he is a martial artist, his mind is quite delicate, and he can actually think of this. It's really hard for me to prove my identity, after all, there was no household registration system at that time, and everyone didn't have ID cards. And I hid a lot from Xu Zhigao, and he now suspects me of lying for more reasons.
"In this way, I did have a treasure map, but I was robbed by bandits when I was in Zixu Temple. "I came up with a way," Later, the main hall of Zixu Temple was destroyed, and the treasure map was lost. If it's really Mu Wu, you can get another copy. ”
"You just have to memorize the treasure map and get ten more copies. "Xu Zhigao is becoming more and more careful.
It seems that if I don't come up with some killer features, it will definitely not work.
I asked my soul to run to Xu Zhigao with Mrs. Xu's dagger, and the dagger was on his neck.
"Wuchen, summon the soul of King Yan and let him explain everything to General Xu. "I said it casually. He definitely doesn't know the Tao as a martial artist, so he won't know that the soul of a living person can't be recruited. And Zhu Di is hundreds of miles away, it is so easy to recruit.
"Wait a minute. "Wuchen has been with me for so long, so naturally there is a tacit understanding. He also knew that I was trying to bluff Xu Zhigao, and what I wanted was to pretend.
Wuchen took out the Dragon Sword from his waist, took out a Dao talisman, and danced there like a god. There are still words in his mouth.
"What are you doing here? How can this dagger fly on its own?" Xu Zhigao saw that a dagger was hanging on his neck out of thin air, and he didn't dare to act rashly, "What kind of demon magic do you know?"
"This is not a demon law, but a Taoist law. This dagger is called Mrs. Xu's dagger, which was used by Jing Ke when he assassinated the king of Qin. The king of Yan gave it below. If I were pretending, how could I use this dagger? ”
"That Dao Leader should stop casting spells, don't you dare to summon the soul of His Royal Highness King Yan, the last general can't afford it. Xu Zhigao panicked.
He panicked not because Wuchen wanted to recruit Zhu Di's soul, but because he found that Wuchen and I could bring the blade to the court, and there was such a means, not that he could stay if he wanted to.
"General Xu, offended, I was forced to be helpless. "I saw that Xu Zhigao was relieved, so I summoned the soul back, "I hope the general will return our belongings." We will leave for Penglai today. ”
The matter here is settled, and the four of us took a eunuch and walked out of the court. There was also a monk from Zixu Temple in the front yard of the county government, and Xu Zhigao did not let them go.
"Brother Mu, I will send someone to escort you out of Linqu County. ”
"Thank you General Xu for your kindness, if General Xu can give us a carriage, it would be great, as for the escort, I think it will not be a problem for a few of us to protect ourselves. ”
"It's okay, Brother Mu is a hero, no wonder King Yan is so important, he will be the founder of the country in the future!"
"General Xu, don't say that, the pace of Yan Wangjing's difficulty is still very difficult, and the outcome is unpredictable. And even if King Yan wins in the future, it will not be called the founding of the country. Da Ming is still Da Ming. "I want to remind Xu Zhigao that Zhu Di is fighting with his nephew, and fighting back and forth is his family's business.
"What Brother Mu said is very true, but the last general still doesn't choose what to say. ”
Just as I was about to say goodbye to Xu Zhigao, a captain of the Northern Military Academy ran over and whispered a few words to Xu Zhigao. Why have you been so unhappy in the past two days, it is estimated that there is an extra eunuch around you to make trouble.
"Come on, tie up all the monks of Zixu Temple for me!" Xu Zhigao suddenly shouted.
"General Xu, what's wrong?"
"The soldiers found the body of a monk in the prison with his clothes stripped of him. Xu Zhigao saw that all the monks were tied up, so he said to me, "Someone pretended to be a monk and mixed in." ”
Could it be one of the five men in black last night? It was dark at the time, and it wasn't easy for me to see all five of them. I didn't think they would use this trick.
"Check them out one by one to see which monk is fake. Xu Zhigao commanded. The soldiers gathered around and began to check the authenticity of the monks.
However, if you want to pretend to be a monk, you have to shave your hair and have a ring scar on your head, how can it be so easy to disguise in a short time?
In any case, it is important to be calm first. I turned around to pull my composure to my side so that I could deal with the unexpected.
Just as I reached out to pull him, Wuchen pushed me.
"Brother Mu be careful!" Wuchen's words followed later.
I watched a cold light pass between me and Calm Calm. Then a steel knife slashed at my head. It wasn't a monk who rushed at me, but a soldier of the Northern Army. It's fake that he came at me to kill me, and it's true that he wants to save Calm. The slash that slashed me was just a false move, and when I turned to calm down in mid-air, I was about to take him away.
At this time, Wuchen reacted, holding the dragon sword in his hand and fighting with him. To say that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Northern Army should not be a combination of dustless enemies, but the soldier in front of him is inseparable from Wuchen.
Sure enough, killing a monk was just a cover-up. The man in black pretended to be the guard next to Xu Zhigao. However, even if he can surprise him alone, it is unlikely that he will be able to save his calmness. It must also be combined with the inside and the outside.
As if I was responding to my speculation, there was a "whoosh" sound of breaking through the sky, and countless rockets were fired in from outside the walls of the yamen courtyard.
