Chapter 115: The ancient city of Zhongzhou, exploring the mansion at night
Qin Tianci finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves could finally relax a little. Unexpectedly, the legendary No. 1 master of Tubo actually fought with himself in this dark night. Fortunately, there was a tie, and he was not injured, and then as long as he hurried to Zhongchuan City to rescue Miss Gu Liang Nayin, the matter could be over.
On the road of the night, Qin Tianci was not in such a hurry, and although Pan Fuzi was only watching the battle from the sidelines, he was terrified and felt a chill down his spine after the battle. It's not that it's not easy to walk at night, but Qin Tianci also thinks about the thrilling battle before, it seems that the world is so big, I can't imagine that a remote country of Fanbang can have such a top master, it really proves the famous sentence that there are mountain people outside the mountain.
Two days later, in the early morning, Qin Tianci and Pan Fuzi had already arrived in Zhongzhou City. From a distance, this is a city built on a mountain, and it is a city built in a mountain recess. From north to south, the slope also gets steeper. A river runs through the city from south to north, and with this steep slope, the river is rushing down.
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, Qin Tianci and Pan Fuzi found that most of the people here were different from the people of the Central Plains, dressed up and looked a little different. Since Shang Xi Dongzan is stationed here, there are naturally many spies. It was only a matter of time before the identities of the two of them were discovered, and it would be even more difficult to save Gu Liang Nayin, so he had to find a way to sneak into the city first.
Qin Tianci and Pan Fuzi dressed up in disguise and quietly entered Zhongzhou City. The two of them were dressed the same as the people around them, Qin Tianci wore a hat, and Pan Fuzi wore a turban, so no one could see through them, after all, this is a necessary place to enter Tibet from the southwest, and there are many businessmen who come and go to do business, but most of the merchants are still familiar with the locals, but as long as they dress up a little, it is still easier to blend into the city.
It's just the first thing, of course, to find out where this Shang Xi Dongzan lives, and where Gu Liang Nayin is locked up by them. It was not difficult to find this high-profile Shang Xi Dongzan, who lived with the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion in the south of the city, at the highest point. Of the 10,000 soldiers of the pioneer battalion, 1,000 were stationed at the main road leading from the south of Zhongzhou to the Tubo Kingdom. There were also 2,000 when Qin Tianci and Pan Fuzi came from the north, and they found them scattered and stationed everywhere. There are 2,000 soldiers in the city who are on mobile duty in shifts.
There were about 6,000 soldiers stationed in this area to the south of the city, and Shangxi Dongzan was in the middle of these 6,000 people, and Guliang Nayin was among them. It's just that because there are too many soldiers, whether the area they are in is a palace, a building, a pavilion, or a tent, Qin Tianci and Pan Fuzi don't know.
If you want to save people, you must also find out what is going on in this area. Moreover, once the rescue is successful, how to retreat? Because the north of Zhongzhou City is the only mountain junction into Shu, after the Dadu River, and then turn sharply southward, in order to reach Yizhou City in Shu. But outside the intersection of the north intersection of Zhongzhou City, two thousand soldiers were scattered. This really gave Qin Tianci and Pan Fuzi a headache.
Qin Tianci and Pan Fuzi discussed and decided to act separately. Besides, Pan Fuzi is also a big thief, and doing this is just something he can do.
Pan Fuzi went to the military tent office to understand the layout of the soldiers, so that he could use it to make escape plans after the matter was completed. Qin Tianci went directly to explore Shangxi Dongzan's residence, and it was estimated that Gu Liang Nayin was here.
After a few days of hard exploration, Qin Tianci finally found Shangxi Dongzan's mansion in Zhongzhou City. This is a house built on a steep slope halfway up the mountain, the house is not large, only a total of three floors inside and outside. On the periphery was an evacuation barracks of 6,000 people, and the mansion was a building on a hill on three sides. On the outermost floor, there was a circle of soldiers guarding, and the outer rooms were basically occupied by these soldiers, soldiers, and employees on duty. The guards on the middle floor are mobile, ranging from six to eight people in a line, and the inspection time is also not fixed.
But what kind of person Qin Tianci lives in this second layer, but he has no way of knowing, and he doesn't know who lives in the innermost layer, let alone how the innermost layer is defended. Whether this Gu Liang Nayin is being detained on the second or third layers needs to be further investigated.
Tonight, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is covered with dark clouds, covering the stars and moon, so I can't see my fingers. Tonight is the perfect time to dive in. How could Qin Tianci let go of this opportunity, he changed into a black night suit, put on a black mask, and except for a pair of eyes, everything was hidden.
He smeared and walked through the barracks to the vicinity of the mansion, looking at the guards on the third layer of defense in front of him. They stand very close together, and if one of them is accidentally alarmed, the others will also find out one after another, so they should not cut in between these people until they have to. Otherwise, you will not be able to save people, and your whereabouts will be exposed.
It was observed that the mansion was built on the mountainside, so the back of the mansion was directly against the steep cliff, so you could cut directly into the mansion from the cliff. It's just that this steep place is not something that ordinary people can climb. But for a light skill master like Qin Tianci, this mountain wall is nothing, as long as there is no wet moss or anything like it on it, it is not difficult to use the know-how taught by the eldest brother Gu Liang Naji.
Qin Tianci faced the mountain wall, and not far to the right was Shang Xi Dongzan's mansion, and a circle of guards outside were standing motionless. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Qin Tianci took a few deep breaths, and then luckily stepped on his feet, pedaling more than ten steps, and was already high on the mountain wall.
Qin Tianci grasped the stone crack on the cliff with his hand, and stepped on the left with his foot, and the whole person jumped out to the right a few feet away. In this way, after more than ten repeated actions, Qin Tianci actually passed the first layer of defense.
Qin Tianci wanted to continue to pass through the second layer of defense like this, but found that it was a very smooth stone wall to the right, and his hands and feet could not exert his strength at all. No wonder this mansion was built in this kind of place, because Qin Tianci couldn't see clearly before the distance, and when he left closer, he found that the mountain wall behind the second floor of the mansion was very smooth.
This mountain wall must be an independent natural environment formed by the sun and rain during the day. Otherwise, this mansion is built here, and if a big rock falls from the mountain, it will be dangerous for the people who live in the mansion! Over the years, this side of the mountain has become a whole smooth stone wall, so there is no need to worry about the collapse of stones on it, and there is no need to worry about someone rushing from above.
I really couldn't do it, so I had to jump from here, and then go through the second layer of guards and continue cautiously.
