Chapter 40: Tai Sui's head breaks ground
"Brother Xu, will we enter the city now?" the monkey turned around and asked.
Xu Hao lowered his head and pondered for a while and said: "The whole city is as bright as day now, it is not difficult to get in, but the difficult thing is how to hide the traces of your whereabouts after entering." ”
Xu Hao glanced at a few people and continued: "I don't know if you have noticed, except for coolies and sergeants on the dock, there are no idle people, presumably the same is true in the city." What's more, there must be a curfew in the city at night, and it is difficult for the four of us to appear on the streets recklessly without arousing suspicion. ”
"Then how do we get in?" Ouyang Wan on the side said hurriedly.
"It seems that we can only wait until dawn, and at present, it seems that the Zhou army did not carry out a massacre in Xuancheng, and it is easy for us to act during the day. Xu Hao explained.
All three nodded in agreement with Xu Hao's opinion.
"Okay, then it's decided! You rest, and I'll be on duty at night. Xu Hao said.
The monkey wanted to replace Xu Hao on night duty, but Xu Hao directly refused.
In the wilderness and the cold weather, the three of them didn't feel sleepy, but just sat cross-legged on the ground to ward off the cold.
After a night of silence, the sky just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the three people sitting cross-legged on the ground opened their eyes one after another.
Ouyang Wan took the lead in standing up, stretched out his hands and stretched out a big lazy waist, Ouyang Wan's figure was already uneven, and this stretching of the waist showed the exquisite curve of the figure.
Xu Hao and the three couldn't help but look stunned.
Ouyang Wan suddenly found that the three people in front of him were looking at him like, only to realize his gaffe, he couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly put down his hands, but he couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face. Especially when Xu Hao looked directly at her like this, the little girl's chest was like a deer hit. But for no reason, there was a hint of joy.
"Ahem, Miss Ouyang is early! You had a good rest last night!" Xu Hao took the lead in breaking the embarrassment.
"Well, Brother Xu Hao, haven't you slept all night?" the little girl's voice was like a gnat.
Xu Hao nodded and said, "The sky hasn't lit up yet, I'll rest for a while now, fat man, monkey, you two pay attention to vigilance!"
After speaking, Xu Hao sat on the ground and silently recovered his energy from the "Blood Moon Killing".
When Xu Hao opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright, Qiu Fatzi and the monkey were sitting on the side, bored, while Ouyang Wan was sitting on the ground with his chin propped up with his hands in a daze.
"Brother Xu, you're awake!" Seeing Xu Hao wake up, the fat man greeted.
Xu Hao nodded, stood up and looked into the city, after a busy night, the current dock is unusually quiet, only two or three boats are still quietly moored at the dock. However, there are still many soldiers patrolling back and forth. Looking at the city again, a lot of cooking smoke is rising, and the voices of people on the street are gradually boiling.
Retracting his gaze, Xu Hao said to the three of them: "We can enter the city now, but the goal of the four of them is too big." Fat man, you and the monkey are in a group, and I am in a group with Ouyang girl, we will go our separate ways! We still meet here at night, and if we are in distress in the city, we must make a big noise and raise a warning so that we can rescue each other. ”
Xu Hao glanced at a few people and continued: "The most important point is that no matter what happens, you must not make a move unless you have to! Also, don't go through the city gate when you enter the city to avoid unnecessary trouble. ”
The three of them immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, fat man, you go first, and Miss Ouyang and I will go into the city later!"
Qiu Fatzi and the monkey nodded, and immediately unfolded their bodies and hid towards Xuancheng.
After the tea, Xu Hao heard that there was no movement in the city, and knew that Qiu Fatzi and the monkey had successfully entered the city. He took Ouyang Wan and quickly ran towards the Sunset Mountain Range in the north of the city.
The two of them climbed the Sunset Mountain Range with a few ups and downs, and they had a condescending view of the entire Xuancheng. Choosing a no-man's corner, the two of them descended the cliff and sneaked into the city.
Entering the city, Xu is front of the war is tight, a huge town Zhou army is not very numerous, but from time to time on the street can see a team of patrolling Zhou soldiers, the atmosphere is slightly tense.
Since the Zhou army took over Xuancheng, the control of grain was extremely strict, and the rations of the people in the city were rationed, and private trading was strictly prohibited. Restaurants and restaurants are all closed. Even the once lively teahouses are now full of people. This brought great inconvenience to Xu Hao and them to inquire about the news.
However, Xu Hao still made a major discovery, and there was a faint black figure looming on both sides of the street or in high-rise buildings. Xu Hao is very familiar with these black figures, who else will there be besides the black-clothed army of Snow Eagle.
This was expected by Xu Hao, and it would have become a strange thing if such an important port city had not been defended by the black-clothed army. But I just don't know how many black-clothed troops exist in Xuancheng.
Look at the pedestrians on the street, most of them are ragged and look wilted. Occasionally, when the patrol soldiers of the Zhou army passed by, they would show a hostile gaze in their eyes.
Xu Hao and Ouyang Wan found that the crowd was walking towards the northeast of Xuancheng, and there was a tendency to gather more and more, so they also slowly walked forward with the crowd.
After walking a short distance, I saw a few long queues not far away, and then looked ahead, in front of a high-profile building, several Zhou soldiers were distributing rations to the crowd one by one. Although the genius has not been shining for a long time, the team has no less than a thousand people.
Xu Hao and Ouyang Wan also stood in the line with the crowd, taking the opportunity to observe the situation around them.
The food distribution point here should be the original city lord's mansion, and not far from the city lord's mansion is a military camp surrounded by a high wall, and from time to time the sound of sergeants training in unison can be heard from inside. Listening to the voice, the scale should be no less than a thousand.
Exploring the military camp of the Zhou army, Xu Hao was still a little excited, but he didn't know how many more military camps like this were in Xuancheng.
The line to receive the rations was too long, and there were only a few soldiers to distribute the food, and the speed was so slow that the people stood in the cold wind and shivered, but they dared not speak in anger. When it was Xu Hao's turn, it was almost noon.
In front of Xu Hao are a pair of grandparents and grandchildren, the old woman is about seventy years old, and the little boy is seven or eight years old. After all, he is young, and the current difficult life has not changed the child's heart, he smirked at Ouyang Wan from time to time with a little face that was red from the cold, and the wrinkled old woman smiled apologetically at Ouyang Wan, Ouyang Wan signaled that it was okay, she really liked this little boy with curly hair, and touched his little head lovingly from time to time.
"Next!" shouted the sergeant who distributed the rations.
Finally, it was the turn of the old woman in front of Xu Hao to receive the rations, and I saw the old woman trembling and walking in front of the sergeant, shaking and opening the white-faced pocket in her hand.
The sergeant haphazardly scooped two small jars of grain into his pocket and shouted, "Next!"
To the sergeant's surprise, the old woman in front of him did not walk away, but stood there without moving.
"What are you doing here, get out of the way!" said the sergeant, impatiently, and rudely flicked the old woman in front of him with his hand.
I saw that the old woman was caught off guard, and one of them almost fell.
When Ouyang Wan saw this situation, even though he wanted to rush forward, he was pulled by Xu Hao.
On the other hand, none of the people queuing up around came forward to help.
But Ou Yawan's actions had already attracted the attention of the sergeant, and when the sergeant saw Ouyang Wan, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and the fatigue of the morning was swept away. He was even more impatient with the old woman in front of him.
"Why don't you leave, old thing!" said the sergeant, seeing that the old woman was still not leaving, to the old woman viciously.
"Master Jun, my little granddaughter is still lying on the bed, this ration is really not enough for the three of us for a day, Master Jun, you can do it, give my wife a jar of grain!" the old woman begged the sergeant.
"Haven't you seen the general's example? No one under the age of sixteen is allowed to receive rations, unless they go to the docks to work as coolies in exchange for rations!"
"Master Jun, how can we do that drudgery in our family of three!
Annoyed by this, the sergeant reached out again to push the old woman.
The little boy beside the old woman picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it at the sergeant's door.
"Don't hit my grandma!" cried the little boy in a childish voice.
The sergeant was caught off guard, and the front door was smashed by a stone, and he cried out in pain, and a piece of black green soon appeared on the front door.
"Little rabbit, I think you're tired of life!" said the sergeant, who rushed out from behind the food distribution desk and grabbed the little boy.
The old woman's face suddenly turned terried, and she grabbed one of the sergeant's arms, "Master Jun, the child is not sensible, you adults should let my grandson go in large quantities! We don't want food, let's go now, let's go now!"
"It's too late to go!" a cruel look flashed in the sergeant's eyes, and then he raised the child in his hand high, and the poor old woman couldn't hold the stout sergeant. Seeing that the tragedy was about to happen, the surrounding crowd let out a burst of exclamation, and they couldn't bear to look at each other when they turned their heads.
This time, without waiting for Ouyang Wan to make a move, Xu Hao took the lead. The crowd saw a figure rushing towards the sergeant at a very fast speed, and the crowd only heard a "bang", and the sergeant flew straight out, knocking down the table where the food was placed. If Xu Hao hadn't left his hand, the sergeant's ten lives would have been gone.
The sergeant staggered to his feet, his mind dazed, and he didn't even know what was happening. It took a while for me to come to my senses.
Looking at the man in front of him, wasn't it the young man who was standing next to the little girl just now?
"Who are you, who dare to attack my Great Zhou sergeant?" At this time, several Zhou sergeants around him surrounded him, and the sergeant suddenly became bold.
"Hmph, oppressing the good and the good is in vain! Who doesn't have a wife and children, you pickled goods can even afford to be ruthless to the old and weak, women and children, it's really a human skin in vain!" Xu Hao said coldly with a calm face.
Xu Hao didn't want to make a fuss, but he couldn't afford not to make a move.
"I'll give you a chance now to apologize to this mother-in-law and the child! I have the right to do it as if it didn't happen, what should you do or do it! If you want to test my patience, then you can try it. ”
"Yo, there are really eye-opening things that dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, what kind of strength is there when the capital of the country is dead!"
At this moment, a voice came from the city lord's mansion.
