"Your Excellency."

Just as Chu Xiaode was pacing back and forth, the figure in the room flashed, and the shriveled man who had received the order earlier appeared in the study again.

"How's it going?"

As soon as he saw the comer, Chu Xiaode raised his eyebrows and asked a little impatiently.

"My lord, it has been found out, the inner line of the house is the rough mother-in-law of the kitchen, Liu Po'er, after he and Han Jian exchanged the code, then he found an excuse, went to the burning yam shop in the west of the city, entered for a quarter of an hour and left, and then returned to the house."

"Mrs. Liu? Burning yam shop? The Li family!

Hum! Sure enough, it's really worth killing! ”

After figuring out what happened, Chu Xiaode said hatefully, and the ruthlessness in his eyes gradually thickened......

The dark night on the plateau had come early, and when it arrived, the sun had already set, and only a little afterglow left to render the clouds on the horizon red, and the pedestrians in the streets and alleys of Shicheng gradually became sparse, until the white smoke in the sky gradually increased.

The smoke curls up to the clouds, reflecting the peaceful atmosphere of Shicheng, since no one will notice that there is an eagle flying in a large courtyard in the west of the city, spreading its wings and flying quickly to the west, when the sky is completely dark, it flies to the sky above Mangshan.

After circling around the top of Mangshan Mountain a few times, he suddenly plunged headlong into the dense forest on the mountain, and as soon as he gathered his wings, he landed firmly on the arm of a Liao soldier who was holding an eagle sentry in the forest.

"Dashuai, a secret letter from Shicheng!"

The Liao soldier immediately stretched out his hand to appease the somewhat restless eagle a little, and then took out a small copper pipe from the eagle's leg, and hurriedly bowed down and handed the small copper pipe to Yelu Chucai, who was standing beside him.

"Hmm!"

Yelu Chucai first nodded and hummed, then stretched out his hand unhurriedly, took out a small note from the tube and spread it out, and looked at it carefully, but a smile of excitement appeared on his face for a moment.

But he didn't say much, just waved his hand and ordered to a family member next to him: "Order, the whole army camps on the spot, it is strictly forbidden to make fires, no loud noises are allowed, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"No!"

Hearing Yelu Chucai's order, the family member was busy answering the call, and immediately turned around and walked out of the mountain forest quickly, and rushed to a valley behind Mangshan Mountain, conveying Yelu Chucai's order.

The 20,000 Liao State foot riders, who had been waiting for a long time, relaxed, turned over and dismounted, and camped on the spot......

By that time, the night was already very deep, and the huge stone city had already been immersed in sleep, and in the quiet night, there was no trace of people in the streets and alleys except for the patrolmen who were still patrolling back and forth for the curfew.

In this peaceful and quiet atmosphere, the gate of the garrison camp in the west of the city was gently opened, and a group of horsemen with horses wrapped in sackcloth bags led out of the camp and silently walked slowly along the long street towards the city gate.

"Captain Bandu, if you can't do anything, don't force it, as long as we hold the stone city, we are not afraid that Liao Kou will get any cheapness!"

Chu Xiaode, who was dressed in civilian clothes, sent Ban Hao to the city gate, and at the end, he was a little worried and gave another command.

"Lord Chu, please rest assured, the last general will grasp the proportions and will never miss a major event."

Ban Hao and Chu Xiaode have worked together for five years, one is in charge of the army and the other is in charge of the people, they get along very well with each other, and they can hear the true meaning of Chu Xiaode's words, but Ban Hao didn't care, arched his hand with a smile, and replied confidently in his tone.

"Well, then Lieutenant be careful!"

Seeing that Ban Hao was so confident, Chu Xiaode no longer persuaded more, but bowed his hand.

"After the last general is gone, there will be Lord Lao in all the affairs of the city." Ban Hao glanced at Chu Xiaode deeply and said. Then he turned over and mounted his horse, and led the army into the night......

"My lord, everything is ready, please give the order!"

As soon as Ban Hao left, suddenly a shriveled man dressed in black flashed and appeared beside Chu Xiaode like a ghost, making a report.

"Let's get started, don't let one get away!"

Chu Xiaode looked at the shriveled man's face with a cold face, and said with a full of anger.

"No!"

Hearing Chu Xiaode's order, the shriveled man fulfilled his promise, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

In the wing room in the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, Han Jian was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and it was already the middle of the night that he still couldn't fall asleep, and there was a faint uneasy emotion surging in his heart.

But he didn't know what the problem was, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything except his impatient thoughts, which made him even more worried.

"Who?"

At this moment, his ears moved, and he suddenly heard an almost imperceptible sound of his clothes rubbing, and his nerves tensed, and he suddenly turned his head to look out of the window, only to see a man in black standing abruptly under the window, and his heart jumped up in shock, and asked loudly.

"Humph!"

The man in black stood there, not caring about Han Jian's movements at all, just snorting coldly and staring at Han Jian.

"This brother Tai, Han is a special envoy of the surrender city, I don't know who Brother Tai is?"

Han Jian asked tentatively, holding the horizontal knife in his hand and looking at the other party vigilantly.

"Humph! You can stay in the house well, and when the adults are destroyed, the burning yam shop and the Li clan will come to you for questioning. ”

The black-clothed man under the windowsill didn't care about Han Jian's vigilant posture at all, turned sideways, and showed a shriveled and ugly face under the moonlight, only to see him snort coldly with disdain and sneer at Han Jian.

"Kill!"

Now, how could Han Jian not know that his identity was revealed, although he didn't know where the flaws were exposed, he didn't care about it at this time, and when the shriveled man turned around, he roared and suddenly swung his knife at the shriveled man, straight between the shriveled man's head and neck.

Han Jian's knife was fast and ruthless, and the shriveled man was still standing there calmly, and when Han Jian's knife was about to slash at his body, he saw a flash of blue light, and a shield composed of blue light suddenly appeared in front of the shriveled man.

"Bang bang bang!"

Han Jian's long knife slashed on the shield again and again, and there was not even a ripple, which made Han Jian terrified.

When Han Jian put away his knife and wanted to slash it out again, the blue light shield in front of the shriveled man instantly changed into a three-foot blue light sword, which was held by the shriveled man in his hand and stabbed straight at Han Jian's door, Han Jian was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly blocked it with a horizontal knife.

"Bell!"

The horizontal knife and the sword light slammed together, and after hearing a crisp sound, Han Jian was shocked and staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground, but the shriveled man was still as steady as Mount Tai, and the two sides were just a face-to-face fight, and they were already divided!

Although it was only a few moves, Han Jian knew very well that he was not an opponent at all, but he didn't want to be caught just like that, so he roared, flew up, and the person was in the air, and a half-spin took advantage of the momentum to slash at the shriveled man, trying to force him to get out of the window.

"The knife technique is good, but it's a pity that ......"

Han Jian's desperate knife was not unpleasant, nor ruthless, but it fell into the hands of a master like a shriveled man, but it was full of flaws, I saw that as soon as his wrist flipped over, the blue light sword in his hand instantly differentiated into several blue light sword rays, stabbing Han Jian's right wrist holding the knife and other places.

"Ah......h

Under the swords, Han Jian couldn't stabilize his body anymore, and he couldn't help but sink his body, and the whole person fell to the ground and screamed miserably, but he couldn't stand up anymore......

On the fourth watch, on a hill less than two miles away from Mangshan, Ban Hao, who was dressed in iron armor, was lying on the back of a boulder, looking solemnly at the various places of Mangshan that were clearly visible in the moonlight, his eyes were both excited, expectant, and a little worried and dignified.

This battle can be said to be a violation of Cheng Wanli's order, if he wins, it's fine, but if he loses, Ban Hao really can't imagine what his result will be, but the arrow is already on the string, and it's too late to stop.

"Squeak, squeak!"

In the dark night, there were suddenly two gentle bird calls, and when Ban Hao listened carefully, his face immediately showed a relieved look, and he hurriedly put his fingers around his lips and replied twice, and then saw that the grass at the foot of the mountain was undulating, and after a sound of Suosuo, several black-clothed detectives had sneaked in front of Ban Hao.

"How's it going?"

Ban Hao obviously couldn't wait, and couldn't wait for them to report back, so he asked questions.

"Back to Duwei, Liao Kou is really hidden in a col valley in Mangshan, and a cottage has been set up temporarily, and it has been found that there are two teams of bright sentry and many secret sentry posts.

In addition, there are soldiers and horses stationed on Mang Mountain, but the mountains and forests are too dense, and the subordinates have only sneaked for a while, and they have found a lot of secret posts, and they are afraid that the enemy will not dare to go deeper, so they have to retreat. ”

Seeing Ban Hao's inquiry, the detective sentry led by him hurriedly reported the news he had discovered.

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard that the Liao army was so tightly armed, Ban Hao's face instantly became unpleasant, and he muttered for a while......

The topography of this mountain is quite unique, it is a small mountain range composed of more than ten small hills of different heights.

The highest Mangtou Peak, but only more than 30 zhang high, but the woods on the mountain are very dense, there is a large flat valley bottom under the Mangtou Peak, it is a good place to hide soldiers, not to mention 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is more than double, it is more than enough.

In Ban Hao's opinion, it is normal for Liao Kou to hide here, but the Liao army has also hoarded heavy troops on Mangtou Peak, which is somewhat unexpected by Ban Hao, and it is obviously impossible to attack Liao Kou's camp without alarming the defenders on the mountain.

"It looks like we can only be in danger!"

Ban Hao muttered in his mouth, and heard the confusion on the faces of the detectives, but when he saw Ban Hao thinking hard, no one dared to ask questions, and he was wondering, but Liao Ban Hao raised his head violently, glanced at the Mang Mountain not far away, and a cold smile appeared between the corners of his mouth......

Concentrate:

Piece: The small wooden stick in the mouth of the ancient soldier is called "piece", and when marching in ancient times, the soldier was often ordered to put a small stick or something like that in his mouth, so that they could not speak, and kept the troops quiet, so as not to be discovered by the enemy.
