Chapter 368: Seeing Words Like Faces
Before a stick of incense arrived, Zhang Chu in the tent suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from far and near.
No more, no less, just the sound of a horse and four hooves.
Zhang Chu's heart sank, and he grabbed the Cloud Shocking Knife on his side and jumped down from the brocade.
"It's so urgent!"
"Are you really taking me Zhang Chu as a lamb to the slaughter?"
He sneered and muttered, a chill flashing in his eyes.
He raised his hand and shoved his thumb and forefinger into his mouth and whistled.
After more than a dozen breaths, three young men dressed in the standard clothes of the Xuanxi Red Flower Hall, whose facial features were so ordinary that it was difficult to find them on the street, quietly swept into the tent, and their footsteps were as light as cats, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear their footsteps at all.
The three of them walked in front of Zhang Chu, pointed to the ground on one knee, and saluted with soldiers: "Subordinates meet the helper!"
Zhang Chu's gaze swept over the three of them.
He knew that they had all changed their faces, and that their true appearance did not look like this...... Among them is also a woman dressed as a man.
In Kyushu, the only people who can match their identities and faces are him and the mule.
However, at this moment, the three of them did not report their homes, and Zhang Chu couldn't tell who was who.
Even the "shadow" who was dressed as a man, he didn't know it was that one.
It's not that he's face blind.
It's their disguise technique, absorbing the strengths of many families, with superb skills, almost changing heads, even if they are women dressed as men, it is difficult to distinguish if they don't get started.
Within the Blood Shadow Guard, the highest status is the mule, and his code name is "Blood Shadow".
Under the mule, there are six shadows and six thorns.
Six Shadows is in charge of the intelligence system, and Six Thorns is in charge of assassination operations.
Zhang Chu came out this time and carried two shadows and one thorn with him.
On weekdays, Zhang Chu didn't know where they were hiding or who they were incarnating.
All he knew was that no matter where he was, as soon as the whistle sounded, the three of them would show up to listen to the order.
"It's someone from the Wan Heavenly Sword Sect who came from outside, right?"
Zhang Chu asked.
However, the truth is that the bull's head is not the horse's mouth.
"Gang leader, it's a cavalryman with red armor who came from the north to fight in the north, and he should be the herald of the Zhenbei Army. ”
Zhang Chu was stunned when he heard this, and his face was a little embarrassed......
If he asked the mule to answer this question, he would definitely take care of his eldest brother's face and answer it as tactfully as possible.
The six shadows and six thorns are different, they are the most professional intelligence agency leaders in this era, and they are also the most professional intelligence agency training in this era, and they pay attention to simplicity, efficiency, and accuracy.
Being able to point out the identity of the person who came in three sentences, instead of directly refuting Zhang Chu's mistake in a simple and rude way, has already given him a lot of face as a big boss, and if he changes to a mule, he may not be able to enjoy such treatment.
Zhang Chu touched his nose and did not hide his mistake: "I made a mistake, you go down and do things." “
"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"
The three of them hung their heads and quickly retreated from the tent, their movements flowing, and in a few breaths, Zhang Chu could no longer hear their footsteps.
An assassin of this level, even a master like him, would have to capsize in the gutter with a single negligence......
Zhang Chu sighed in his heart and sat back on the brocade, waiting for Sun Si'er to come and ask to see him.
"Heralds of the Zhenbei Army?"
His brow furrowed slowly.
He was not surprised that Huo Hongye would send a herald to look for him.
Previously, Huo Hongye plucked Ji to Taiping Town and asked him to go out of the mountain to serve as the deputy general of the former army, not so much "please", not to say hello to him in advance, but also to pull reinforcements all the way to his Zhenbei Army in advance.
In the end, he still has the dismissal of the "guerrilla general" of the Zhenbei Army, if Huo Hongye really transfers him to the north with an iron heart, he only needs a general order, and he has to start from the pole in addition to uncovering the rod!
To his surprise...... Huo Hongye's herald, came too fast!
The Zhenbei Army waved its division north, and it was only half a month to be full!
After more than a year of replenishment and recuperation, the Zhenbei Army is a full army of 150,000 people!
The full army of 150,000 people has only been fighting for less than half a month, and he has to ask for help from one of his gang leaders?
How tragic is the battle?
How wasteful is Huo Hongye?
If he had been commanded, how many more brothers would he have to die?
He closed his eyes, covering a pair of dim eyes.
Not long after, Sun Si'er's voice came from outside the tent: "Qiqi gang leader, the herald of the Zhenbei Army asks to see you." ”
Zhang Chu didn't open his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Come in." ”
The curtain was lifted, and Sun Si'er led the heralds of the Zhenbei Army to walk to the tent.
As the herald walked, the waist knife slammed into the armor with his footsteps, making a dull sound of "clang" and "clang".
The familiar voice suddenly pushed Zhang Chu's thoughts out of the tent, turning into a ghost whose feet did not touch the ground, drifting all the way north, dozens of miles in an instant.
He has reached the five-hundred-mile southward migration road covered by white bones among the barren grass.
He saw the wrecked ship stranded on the edge of the canal.
He looked at the dilapidated, swarthy AllHeaven.
He forced his eyes open.
He didn't want to see it all.
In this world, he should have no hometown.
But AllBright does have a meaning for him that other state capitals do not have.
"Mark the former army angry lion battalion scout Jiang Mao, meet the general!"
The heralds in neat armor walked to Zhang Chu's collapse and waved their hands respectfully.
Zhang Chu looked at the wind and frost on his body, but he still couldn't afford to be hard-hearted and put on a black face, and reached out to gently help the young scout: "Get up, brother, it's been such a long journey, I've worked hard for you!"
No matter what the battle looks like, it has little to do with them.
They are all hot-blooded and good boys.
Whether it was throwing their heads or spilling blood, they never retreated.
"In front of the general, I dare not say that I am hard!"
His words of Wen Yan made the burly herald wet his eyes all of a sudden, he lowered his head, quickly took out a sealed wooden box with fire paint from his arms, presented it to Zhang Chu with both hands, bowed down and said: "The young marshal's handwritten letter is here, please read it by the general." ”
Zhang Chu took the wooden box and checked the seal on the fire paint...... It is indeed Huo Hongye's.
He didn't rush to open it, but first raised his chin at Sun Si'er: "Send this brother down, have a hot meal, and then find him two carriages, and set off with us later." “
"Yes, helper!"
Sun Si'er responded, and then put one hand on the shoulder of the herald who looked like he wanted to speak, and said with a grin: "Let's go, brother, don't look at our camp here, there is everything delicious, you just let go of your belly and eat, it's enough." ”
After going out on behalf of the two of them, Zhang Chu opened the wooden box and took out a bright yellow brocade silk from it.
Spread it out, and you will see that it is full of fly's heads.
"Zhang Chu, my friend, see the words as faces......
Zhang Chu looked at it word by word, and his brows became tighter and tighter.
He frowned, it wasn't that Huo Hongye's tone was very tough, so he had to go.
On the contrary, he frowned, just because Huo Hongye's tone of credit was too sincere and easy-going.
The letter explained the difficulties they had encountered in attacking Jintianfu, as well as their current plight of losing troops but gaining nothing, and the urgent need for him to go north to help, and also said in passing that he would send someone to Tiandaomen Daxue Mountain to make peace on his behalf, and asked Zhang Chu not to have any doubts.
Huo Hongye didn't put on the shelf of his prince of Zhenbei and the young marshal of the Zhenbei Army at all, Zhang Chu read it carefully, and did not find any words such as "levy", "pi", "military order" and so on in the letter.
Huo Hongye should know that as long as he uses these words, he can forcibly requisition Zhang Chu to the north.
This handwritten letter alone gives people the feeling that they are the person who writes the letter, and they really regard the person who reads the letter as a friend.
But Zhang Chu is also the leader of a gang, so he will not be fooled by Huo Hongye's handwritten letter.
After reading this autographed letter, he only had one feeling in his heart: the time to repay Huo Hongye's favor has come.
