Chapter 1254: Infiltration
Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.inforeadx;? Shangguan Xiu summoned Zhao Chen as soon as possible and asked about Zhou Yan's news.
Zhao Chen has not received the news of Zhou Yan's capture for the time being, and it was not until the afternoon that the flying pigeon passed the book.
The reason why Zhou Yan was captured is also related to his meritorious service.
In the Duwei Mansion, Tianyan is not very valued, and now he is finally appreciated by Guogong, seeing that the status of Tianyan can be greatly improved, he doesn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
The fiercest competition with the eye of heaven is the dark flag of Shura Hall,
Zhou Yan felt that if the Tianyan could find out the whereabouts of the Duji royal family before the dark flag this time, then the status of the Tianyan in His Highness's heart would definitely be further improved, and His Highness would inevitably use the Tianyan more and more in the future.
It was under this kind of meritorious psychology that Zhou Yan led the spies of Tianyan to ambush Long Ying, intending to hold Long Ying hostage and force him to confess the whereabouts of the Duji royal family.
As a result, although he was very well prepared, he still underestimated Long Ying and the Lingwu masters who stayed in Haji after all.
Most of the dozens of Tianyan spies who ambushed Long Ying with Zhou Yan were killed, and Zhou Yan and the five spies were captured alive.
At present, whether Zhou Yan is alive or dead, Dark Banner and Duwei Mansion have no way of knowing, only that he and the other five Duwei Mansion spies are imprisoned in Long Ying's official residence.
After learning these news, Shangguan Xiu decided to go to Haji in person to rescue Zhou Yan and the captured Duwei Mansion spies as much as possible.
Hu Chong and others were against his approach, and in their opinion, Zhou Yan and the secret agents of Duwei Mansion were not enough for Shangguan Xiu to take this risk.
But Shangguan Xiu has his own ideas, first of all, Zhou Yan and the others were assigned by him to infiltrate Haji and find out the news, and now they are captured, and he has the responsibility to rescue them.
Secondly, if it is a civil war now, and the spies of the Duwei Mansion are captured by the enemy, he will not be so concerned, but now it is a national war, and his own personnel are captured by the enemy country, he must rescue them, one is to show his own soldiers that there is the support of the whole country behind them, no matter how dangerous the situation they fall into, the country will not sit idly by and ignore them, and the second is to show the people of Ningnan that even if you only capture me, I will do my best to fight with you and rescue my fellow brothers,
In state affairs, when it comes to national honor and disgrace, Shangguan Xiu's attitude has always been tough.
This time he infiltrated Haji, Shangguan Xiu did not take Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, only Zhao Chen walked with him, and the two arrived outside Haji City in the afternoon, but the two did not enter the city.
The wind army has approached Haji, Haji here can be described as a rumor, not long ago, there was another incident of the wind country spies attacking Long Ying, and the current defenders of the people in and out of the city are extremely strict,
Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen both got the official guide of the people of Ningnan, but this is not the true identity of the two of them after all, and they can't withstand too detailed interrogation, the two of them think twice, but they still didn't enter the city after all.
That night, the two went to a small town near Haji, which was not very lively, but now it was overcrowded, and most of them were people who had not had time to enter the city and had temporarily settled here.
Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen went to a tavern in the town, which was crowded with people, lively and noisy, and looked carefully, among them were the Feng people and the Besa people.
The two of them found an empty seat in the innermost corner of the tavern, sat down, asked for two large glasses of ale, and listened to the conversation of the people around them while drinking.
Most of the focus of people's talk revolves around the difficulty of getting into the city.
The big man of the Besa tribe scolded and complained with the strength of wine: "Lao Tzu just wants to enter the city to sell some leather goods, and the soldiers who defend the city will not let him in, saying that if he wants to enter the city, he must have someone who lives in the city as a guarantee, damn it, Lao Tzu doesn't know the people in Haji City, who can vouch for Lao Tzu,"
His words resonated with many people, and many people said: "That's right, that's right, I'm also the one who was stopped outside the city,"
"To put it bluntly, we are unlucky, my friend doesn't know the people in the city, and no one vouches for him, but the soldiers still let him go,"
"Anyway, I'll try my luck tomorrow and catch up with the talkative soldiers, maybe we'll be let in,"
Listening to people's discussions, Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen glanced at each other, and neither of them spoke.
Late at night, Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen left the tavern, and the latter asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiu, why don't we also enter the city tomorrow,"
"Go to the city gate openly, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter,"
"Brother Xiu means,"
"Fly in,"
Zhao Chen's eyes flashed, nodded, didn't ask more, when the time, Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen left the town and came to Haji City again.
Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath, released the spiritual energy, turned into a spiritual armor, and completed the spiritual transformation of the armor, and then, the spiritual armor behind him made a crunching sound, exhaled, spread his wings, he directly clamped Zhao Chen under his armpit, and flew into the air,
He flew dozens of meters high and crossed the city wall of Haji at a high altitude, he thought that he had flown high enough to avoid the defenders on the city wall, but when he entered the city, he still alarmed the officers and soldiers defending the city.
Fortunately, Shangguan Xiu's speed was fast enough, and when the soldiers realized that it was not good, he had already caught Zhao Chen and flew into the city like a gust of wind.
In a small dark alley, Shangguan Xiufei fell, let go of Zhao Chen, put away the spirit armor, the two looked around first, and listened for a while, not noticing that someone was chasing here, Zhao Chen whispered: "Brother Xiu come with me,"
The Dark Banner has a stronghold in Haji City, and it's not one, one of the strongholds is a tavern, and the business is quite prosperous, and the people who currently run this tavern are Karina and Clara.
The place where Zhao Chen is leading Shangguan Xiu now is this tavern,
The two walked out of the small alley and into a remote alley, and were walking forward, when a group of patrolling soldiers came on.
The two people in front are from Ningnan, and the eight people behind are all Duki people.
Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen stood on the side of the road to avoid, this group of soldiers had already walked over, but suddenly the two Ning Nan soldiers stopped, looked back at Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen, and the older soldier asked, "Where are you two going?"
"Master Jun, the little one is going to the tavern,"
"Where's the people's clan,"
"We are both from Leping County,"
"Leping County," the two Ning Nan soldiers glanced at each other, and the two of them walked over, and the older soldier raised his head and said, "Speak two words in dialect and listen,"
This time, without waiting for Zhao Chen to speak, Shangguan Xiu said in the Leping County dialect: "The villain is prosperous and wealthy, and he has seen the military master,"
Shangguan Xiu has been to Leping County, and he speaks the local dialect, which is also very authentic, and the older soldier nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the road,"
He took the guide from his bosom and handed it to the soldiers.
After the latter took it, he glanced at it roughly, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said, "People from Wulong City,"
"Exactly,"
"Coincidentally, we are still fellow countrymen," the older soldier asked casually in the accent of Leping County: "Speaking of which, I haven't been home for many years, and Lord Zhang Yuenian is fine now,"
The ghost knows who Zhang Yuenian he said is, Shangguan Xiu smiled quietly: "Lord Zhang is well,"
"Oh," the older soldier nodded, returned the road to Shangguan Xiu, shook his head to his companion beside him, signaled that his companion was okay, he could leave, and then the two turned around together and walked forward,
The two Ning Nan soldiers only took one step, without warning, and the swords hanging under their ribs were both unsheathed, and then the two of them turned around at the same time and stabbed the swords towards Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen viciously,
Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen also reacted quickly, both took two steps back, avoiding the swords stabbed by the two, and the elder Ning Nanbing sneered: "Zhang Yuenian, Lord Zhang is the city lord of Yucheng, you deceive me, I don't know, who are the two of you," frdo
Alas, with a secret sigh in his heart, Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen glanced at each other in unison, now even the ordinary soldiers of Ningnan are so cunning, such a trick,
Their eyes flashed at the same time, and then, Zhao Chen's arm shook, and he pulled out a dagger from his cuff, stabbing at the older soldier.
Zhao Chen's knife was fast and hateful, and the older soldiers saw the edge of the dagger flashing towards him, but he just couldn't dodge.
Poof, the dagger was deeply inserted into the heart of the older soldier, and the other soldier was just about to scream, Zhao Chen pulled out the dagger as fast as lightning, and waved it to the side, poof, there was another muffled sound, the dagger was inserted into the temple of the other soldier, and the tip of the knife poked out from the side of his head,
Two knives in a row, two Ning Nan soldiers were both killed, and fell to the ground, on the other side, Shangguan Xiu had already flashed in front of the eight Du Ji soldiers, and between walking and passing, the throats of the eight Du Ji soldiers were cut together.
said that it was too late, that time was fast, Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen killed ten soldiers, it was just a matter of blink of an eye, from beginning to end, no one had a chance to scream,
After dealing with this patrol team, Zhao Chen looked down at the corpses lying all over the ground, and muttered: "What to do so smartly, if you use it in the wrong place, it will only backfire, and if you are smart, you will be mistaken by smartness,"
He muttered as he dragged the corpse on the ground into the small alley on the side of the road,
Then Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen also walked in, and when they came out again, the two of them had already changed into the military uniforms of the Ningnan people, and now the two of them walked on the streets of Haji City, and they were much more confident.
There were no more accidents in the future, Zhao Chen took Shangguan Xiu and arrived at the stronghold of the dark flag very smoothly.
The location of the tavern is very remote, and there are no customers inside, when Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen walked in, Karina, who was sitting at the bar, said without raising her head: "The tavern is not open tonight, guests can come back another day,"
"When will I come back again," Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile,
Hearing the words, Karina hurriedly raised her head, looked at it, and saw that it was Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen, she couldn't believe her eyes, and stammered: "Your Highness, my lord,"
"Yueming, don't come to harm," Shangguan Xiu called Karina Fengguo's name, and her Fengguo's name was given by Shangguan Xiu, called Shangguan Yueming,
"Your Highness," Karina confirmed that she was not mistaken, she hurriedly jumped out of the bar, knelt down on one knee to Shangguanxiu, and bowed,
Before Shangguan Xiu could speak, the curtain in the tavern was raised, Clara came out of it, and when she saw Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen, she was stunned at first, and then, like Karina, knelt on the ground to salute,
Shangguan Xiu stepped forward, helped the two of them up, then looked the two up and down, and said with a smile: "Yes, it looks much more beautiful than before,"
The treatment of the Dark Flag and the Shadow Banner is the first in the Shura Hall, and the Dark Flag has the most funds, Karina and Clara and others broke away from the mercenaries and switched to the Dark Flag, and the days have indeed been much more nourished, the faces of the two look white and red, and their figures are becoming more and more charming.
Karina and Clara hung their heads in embarrassment, and two scarlets fluttered on their cheeks, and Karina asked, "Why did His Highness suddenly come to Haji?"
"Save people," Shangguan Xiu said bluntly,
"Lord Zhou,"
"Exactly," Shangguan Xiu asked, "Is there a way?"
Karina and Clara glanced at each other, both lowered their heads, and were silent for a long time, Karina said: "Your Highness, after Lord Zhou was captured, he has been imprisoned in Long Ying's mansion, so many days have passed, and I don't know if Lord Zhou has been killed, and besides, there are many masters around Long Ying, and his official residence is tantamount to Longtan Tiger's Den......"
Before she finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu interrupted: "People, I must take it away, even if it has been killed, I will take away the body, the heroes and martyrs of the country cannot be trampled on, and they should return to their roots,"
