Chapter 323 - Climb the wall and infiltrate
After seeing the soldiers laughing for a while, the cigarette bag pot wanted to turn around and leave, and was about to step forward to speak, but was stopped by Gu Xiao beside him, the cigarette bag pot was unknown, but he also knew that the young man had his own plans, so he kept silent.
Seeing the soldiers leaving, the young man turned around and left, Jiang Ningxue and the cigarette bag pot did not know what to do, so they had to go with the young man, and the three of them walked to a mountain forest outside Mo County, and the young man looked back and saw that the guards could no longer see the three of them, so he stood up.
Jiang Ningxue saw the young man frowning and thinking, and knew that the matter here was not simple, so she stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
The young man raised his brows slightly, and said with all the doubts in his heart: "The bandits who attacked the people of Mo County have been ambushed outside Mo County before, why do these soldiers still say that Mo County is not safe, could it be that the two bandit leaders who fled went and returned... This is unreasonable, even if the bandit leader escapes from my full strength, he should run for his life and leave, how can he return to Moxian."
Hearing this, the cigarette pouch pot stepped forward and said, "Could it be that those soldiers deliberately made intimidation in order to let us leave?"
The boy shook his head and said, "No... The leading Wu Commander said that the mountains behind Mojun are not safe, and I saw that there were many torches faintly shining in the back mountains, and what those soldiers said just now should be the truth."
"In that case, how are we going to enter the city and borrow dry food for the horses?" The cigarette pouch pot asked again.
The young man turned his head to look at Mo Jun and muttered, "I won't mention the matter of entering the city for the time being, it's just..."
Jiang Ningxue saw that the young man had doubts, and asked, "What doubts do you have?"
Gu Xiao knew the identity of Yun Gongzi, and Brother Yan even knew that from his previous eagerness, even if he didn't save the people of Mo County, he would never delay in the mountains behind Mo County before he didn't know Yun Gongzi's whereabouts. Look at the book
"I still remember that on the way here, I told Miss Jiang and Brother Qixin, I agreed with Brother Na Yan that I would chase people, and he would transfer troops to help, and since he had already transferred the patrol army, even if there were bandit leaders hiding in the mountains, they would never ignore Yun Gongzi, at least they would divide their troops."
At this point, I couldn't help but think of Yang Huchen, and my heart froze, and I secretly thought, "Back Mountain... Are they going for General Yang?"
Jiang Ningxue listened quietly on the side, frowning slightly, and after the young man finished speaking, he said, "What's so difficult about this, what is it, you can find out at a glance."
After finishing speaking, he saw the young man's face hesitating, just looking at the direction of the mountain behind Mojun, he knew that the young man's heart was worried, his cold eyes moved slightly, and he spoke to the young man again: "It's better to do this, let's enter the city first, after you enter the city, go straight to the mountains to find out, and I and Brother Qixin are hidden in the city to observe."
Gu Xiao heard Jiang Ningxue speak, and hurriedly looked sideways, just as she met her eyes like autumn water, a little cold, but also sincere, as if he had seen through his worries.
couldn't help but think that she had never told the truth whether she was under a false name or entrusted by General Wan, but she didn't ask the reason and helped her, which really made Gu Xiao feel guilty.
"Miss Jiang... I—" The boy couldn't help but speak.
Seeing that the young man wanted to speak and stopped, Xu saw something, the coldness in his eyes suddenly disappeared, revealing a tenderness, and the girl said softly: "What do you want to say, when you finish what you have in your heart, it's not too late, right now, on the mountain behind Namo County, you may need to help."
"Okay, then follow Miss Jiang's law, it's just that this Mojun City is high, and you can't climb it with light skills, how do we enter." Looking sideways at the tall city wall of Mojun, even if he used the cloud vertical, he could not climb it, and the young man was once again difficult to speak.
Seeing that the young man was embarrassed, the cigarette pouch and pot stepped forward and said softly, "What's so difficult about this, Brother Mu is afraid that I haven't forgotten what I'm best at."
After finishing speaking, he untied an object from his waist and handed it to the boy and the girl.
Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue heard the words of the cigarette pouch pot, lined with a faint light, and stared at it, only to see that the object he was holding in his hand seemed to be a bamboo joint, and the whole body was pitch black, and at a glance, he knew that it was made of fine iron.
"With this object, you can climb the Mojun Tower?" The teenager was skeptical.
The cigarette pouch pot saw disbelief in the young man's eyes, his eyes moved slightly, and he saw that Jiang Ningxue on the side was also the same, and did not answer
, only hold the fine iron bamboo in his hand in both hands, one positive and one reverse, gently twisted, hear the sound of the metal mechanism slightly, and the folding hook claw emerges from the fine iron bamboo mechanism.
Looking at it again, Gu Xiao couldn't help but be amazed, this hook claw device is like an eagle's claw, the front three are one after one, the four toes are claws, the front toe is three sections, and the back toe is one section, only in the cigarette pouch pot again twist the fine iron bamboo joint for a moment, and the toe joint has been firmly locked.
"This flying claw is an ink-door artifact, which is specially used for climbing the wall and climbing the tile, and the hook claw is thrown high and hooks the tooth wall above the city wall of Mojun, so that we can perform light skills and climb up."
"I see." The boy suddenly realized.
Jiang Ningxue felt that something was wrong, and said: "This thing is ingenious and good, but at the moment we don't have a rope, even if we go to find some bark now, it will take a little time, if the sky is bright, even if we make it up, when we use this thing to climb the wall, as long as those soldiers patrol under the wall, they will also find it."
Hearing this, he smiled at the cigarette pouch and pot mysteriously stretched out to his back again, took out a bundle of objects from behind him, and held it in front of the two of them.
"It's not—" The young man was dumbfounded, because the bundle of objects in the cigarette pouch pot hand was the knot that helped him get out of trouble in the valley.
The cigarette pouch pot smiled honestly and said: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of Brother Mu and Miss Jiang, I wait for the ink people, walking the rivers and lakes, I have always had a habit, that is, every time I finish an important thing, I will clean up the remnants of the things, before in the valley to help Brother Mu, the knot of the braided rope hung into the valley, although there is a small half, falling into the valley, when we leave the road, I still habitually take the remaining rope with me, I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time."
Gu Xiao was slightly relieved of the depression in his heart by this little episode, and smiled softly: "Fortunately, Brother Qixin has this habit, otherwise, as Miss Jiang said, the three of us would not be able to weave such a long rope until dawn."
The cigarette pouch pot grinned, said no more, tied one end of the rope firmly to the end of the flying claw, and nodded to Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue beside him.
The three of them performed light feats, avoiding the patrolling soldiers who had returned to the city gate, and found a place at the foot of the city wall to settle down.
Seeing that there was no one around, the cigarette pouch pot was full of internal force, holding the hook and claw, throwing it hard, and the hook and claw flew straight up to the city tower silently, seeing that the bundle of ropes in his hands was rapidly reduced, until the rope was exhausted, it seemed that there was still a little distance from the wall of the battlement, so he had to pull back the rope with luck, patted the young man who was on guard, and gestured that the rope was not long enough.
Gu Xiao immediately understood, frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked up, estimated the distance between the city walls, starry eyes, and had an idea, signaled the cigarette bag pot to hand over the hook and claw and rope to himself, and signaled the cigarette bag pot to help with his palm, stepped on the snow and kicked the ground, and the clouds rose vertically, and when the cigarette bag pot saw this, he hurriedly bent down and slapped the soles of the young man's feet.
With the help of the palm power of the cigarette pouch pot, Gu Xiao climbed the wall until his light skills were exhausted, his eyes were sharp, and he threw up the hook and claw in his hand for a moment, and his figure also fell.
Loosening the rope and the figure fell, Gu Xiao hurriedly motioned for Jiang Ningxue and the cigarette bag pot to come closer, the two of them had already seen the young man's movements in their eyes, and saw that although the end of the rope was still some distance from the city wall, they could already achieve light skills.
Seeing that the two of them had already understood, the young man no longer delayed the hour, and once again performed light skills and jumped up, looked at the rope that was constantly shaking by the wind, grabbed the rope with one hand, grabbed the rope for a moment, cast a gecko to swim the wall, hung his body on the city wall, and beckoned slightly to the two people below.
Jiang and Qi looked at each other and nodded, Jiang Ningxue's cold eyes were slightly condensed, and he swam up the wall with light skills, and in an instant, he was grabbed by the young man hanging at the end of the rope above, pulled hard, and his body rose again, taking advantage of the situation to grab the hook and claw rope and borrow his strength to go up to the battlement of the city wall.
Looking at the probe, it seemed that the patrol soldiers had not yet arrived, Jiang Ningxue turned over, poked her head out, and waved slightly to the young man below.
Seeing that it was feasible, the cigarette pouch pot below had the same example, and according to Jiang Ningxue's method, he performed light skills and borrowed the flying claw to climb the Mojun City Tower.
Seeing that the two had boarded, Gu Xiao was about to leave, but he heard three or five voices coming from the side of the city wall below, and he didn't dare to move.
"Have you heard?" A soldier looked around left and right, saw that there was no one around, and opened his mouth mysteriously to his comrades beside him.
"What did you hear?" The crowd asked, puzzled.
The soldier lowered his voice, motioned for everyone to come closer, and said in a low voice, "Do you remember that tiger-eyed young man we captured earlier, do you know who he is..."
Seeing the mysterious appearance of this soldier, everyone suddenly became interested and said, "Tell me, who it is."
When the soldier was about to speak, he looked around again, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he spoke bluntly, "Do you know why only half of our battalion of men came back in the end?"
The crowd was eager: "Tell me what you are selling."
Seeing that a few people around him were eagerly inquiring, the soldier slowly spoke: "Last night, the general led the army on the road, encountered bandits, that group of people, all of them are strong in martial arts, our battalion of manpower was invincible, fortunately, there was a person to help, only to relieve our general from the siege, but the strange thing is that after the general transferred troops, he actually sent someone to capture that person... I heard that the man seems to be the Lord Chincha from Beijing."
"What do you say! Lord Chincha." The crowd was shocked.
The soldier hurriedly motioned for a few people to be silent, looked left and right, and said, "Don't make a noise, don't make a noise!"
The people said, "This is a great crime, don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that some people were questioning, the soldier hurriedly explained, "What are you lying to, I have a brother who followed the general out of the camp all the way last night, and he saw it with his own eyes... When they returned, an order was sent from above, telling them not to speak, and if the matter leaked, they would be dealt with by military law."
"! Don't brag, since this order, where does he dare to tell you things." The people did not believe.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the soldier hurriedly said, "It's not that I have a life-saving relationship with him..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw an officer dressed as a general outside the city wall, carrying a saber at his waist, and saw several people talking to each other, their eyes widened, and they came quickly, and scolded: "You little cubs, don't let you patrol well, and run out to hide, hurry back to the city to inspect, if there is a mistake, be careful of military law."
Seeing this, a few soldiers hurriedly smiled and took orders to leave, which was about to go to the place where a few soldiers were talking, staring around vigilantly, seeing that there was no one around, and muttering to themselves was about to turn around and leave.
Xu is a partial general who has been in the army for many years, or he is not worried about these soldiers, the partial general always feels that someone is spying on, his eyes move up slightly for a moment, and he suddenly raises his head and looks up...
I saw that the city wall was empty, how could there be half a figure, the general's vigilance did not disperse, his eyes swept over the wall of the city wall with a cold light, and after a while, until he was sure that there was nothing abnormal, he crossed the knife and left.
When the general disappeared, the three people who were hiding on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, and the cigarette pouch pot palpitated and said to the young man: "It's too dangerous, if you are slower, Brother Mu, I am afraid that you will be discovered by the general, you can obviously take advantage of the group of soldiers to talk, take the opportunity to go up, why..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the young man beside him frowning into Sichuan characters and muttering to himself.
The cigarette pouch pot was puzzled, turned his head to look at Jiang Ningxue, and saw that she was also puzzled, and the two of them approached the young man a few minutes before they could hear what he was talking about.
"Could it be that this patrol general is the one who collaborated with the bandits? No, obviously he still led his troops to suppress bandits, but what did he want to capture Brother Yan..."
