Chapter 51: Suspicious Soldiers
A Zhuangzi about twenty miles away from the city, as an intelligence location for the Great Jin Empire to leave the city, this Zhuangzi has always been very inconspicuous.
A hall house in the village is quite simple in decoration
"My lord! My lord, here's news! The black-robed middle-aged man pushed the door with excitement on his face and rushed into the hall.
"Guo Liu, didn't I say that? Come into my house and knock on the door first! The evil young man who was standing in the room practicing the knife put away the knife with a 'swish'.
Turning around, he looked indifferently at the black-robed middle-aged man.
Seeing this, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the black-robed middle-aged man, and he even lowered his head: "My lord, I won't dare to humble my post next time." ”
The middle-aged man in the black robe was also quite aggrieved in his heart.
This house was originally my own residence, and I have become a habit of pushing the door directly.
"I hope there will be no next time." The evil young man's voice was cold: "Say, what's the news this time?" ”
"It's about Wu Yuan." Only then did the black-robed middle-aged man breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "The informant who was placed in the lowly position has just learned the information from the Wu family, and they have just leased a big ship, which is not transporting goods, but a passenger ship. ”
"Passenger ship?" The evil young man's eyes froze: "Where are you going?" ”
"Nanmeng!" The black-robed middle-aged man said: "I sent someone to inquire clearly from the owner of the boat, this boat will take a boat in these two days, go down the river, enter the 'Nanyun Canal' from the Nanlong River, and then go straight to Nanmengfu City from Wanqiu Daze!" ”
"Is it Wu Yuan?" The evil young man said softly.
"Chances are." The black-robed middle-aged man nodded: "Before, although the Wu clan occasionally sent people to Nanmengfu City, they never chartered a big ship, which was not a small cost. ”
The evil young man nodded: "When exactly will you leave?" There is news. ”
"Then Wu Yuan retreats and cultivates every day, doing whatever he wants, and it is difficult to determine the specific departure time at the moment." The black-robed middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
The evil young man frowned slightly.
If you can't confirm the time, it's hard to lay an ambush in advance.
"However, once the boat leaves and exits, the timing can be roughly confirmed." Seeing this, the black-robed middle-aged man said: "Moreover, the ship will dock once at the 'Mingxiang Wharf' of the Nanyun Canal on the way to replenish supplies." ”
He lowered his head and said no more, waiting for the evil young man's decision.
Half ringing.
"They set off at an uncertain time, and they are out of the city, they have just set off, and they are also the most vigilant, and it is inconvenient to do it." The evil young man opened his eyes and said softly: "I will ask Senior Sister Yu for help, and arrange some manpower to assist me, and we will do it in the area of Mingxiang Wharf in the Nanyun Canal." ”
"Strive to kill that Wu Yuan in one fell swoop."
"Your subordinates also choose some high-quality and capable ones, and set off with me to Mingxiang Pier tonight." The wicked young man commanded.
"My subordinates understand." The black-robed middle-aged man nodded continuously.
Transferees?
As long as you don't let yourself go, most of the strength of this stronghold will be withdrawn, and the middle-aged man in the black robe will have no opinion.
On the contrary, if the mission fails, and the above investigates it, he can also take the opportunity to dump all the problems accumulated in the past on the evil youth.
The black-robed middle-aged man was about to retreat.
"By the way, you can go with me on this mission!" The evil young man's voice was indifferent.
……
Day 2.
Leaving the city, Wu Mansion, Intermediate Courtyard.
Wu Yuan, Gu Ji, Wan Qin, Wu Xiong and a large number of people such as Wu Qiming gathered here.
"Yuan'er, this is a thousand miles to Nanmeng, along the way, you have to pay attention to safety." Wan Qin asked.
"Mother, I just went to Nanmeng Mansion to verify my strength, and when everything is over, I will naturally come back." Wu Yuan said helplessly.
In these two days, thousands of people have said it many times.
The mother of the child is worried.
Besides, this trip to Nanmeng will pass through several counties, and the round trip will be thousands of miles away?
"Brother Wu, along the way, I will be taken care of by you." Wan Qin glanced at Wu Yuan, and then looked at Wu Xiong on the side.
"Haha, sister-in-law, don't worry."
Wu Xiong was wearing a cloth coat and carrying two short spears, and he was straightforward: "With me, you don't have to worry about Wu Yuan's safety." ”
He swore by it.
"Patriarch." Wu Yuan looked at Wu Qiming.
"The news of your special recruitment for the Martial Arts Academy has been transmitted back to the clan." Wu Qiming said: "There is a letter from the clan, I hope you can take the time to go." ”
"The main sect?" Wu Yuan frowned slightly.
He has no good impression of the Wu family's main sect, nor does he have a bad feeling, but he doesn't want to go if he insists that more things are better than less.
"Although I am independent from the city, the Wu clan is one with them after all." Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan and sighed: "When the time comes, if you really have time, you can go for it." ”
"Okay." Wu Yuan nodded, he also understood that he had nothing to do with the main sect.
But between the two branches, there must be a involvement.
Perhaps, the main sect has an order to come to Wu Qiming.
How about going on your own?
The Nanmeng Wu family, after all, is just a medium-sized family in Fucheng, which is comparable to the Luo family in Licheng, how capable can it be?
Everyone is communicating.
"Lei Tao, you should set off first, and when the boat enters the canal, you can turn back." Wu Xiong said to Wei Wuzi, who was wearing heavy armor.
"Yes." This Wei Wuzi said solemnly, and gave an order: "Let's go!" ”
Wow! Wow!
I saw him take a group of people out of the middle courtyard along the gate and walk towards the outer courtyard.
There were twelve people in this team, and ten of them were wearing 'City Guard Armor'.
A young man was wearing a martial arts academy disciple uniform, his height and body shape were comparable to Wu Yuan, even his face was somewhat similar, he was wearing makeup, his head was lowered, and at first glance he looked like Wu Yuan.
There is also one person, who is similar to the pre-ancient costume.
Soon, the team disappeared from everyone's sight, and the gate of the middle courtyard was immediately closed.
"Wu Yuan, this is a suspicious soldier arranged by the county guard."
Wu Xiong said with a smile: "In the past few days, the county's 'Supervision Division' has noticed that many forces are secretly probing your whereabouts, although the possibility of really doing it is very low, but you have to guard against it!" ”
"Although, if we let out the wind, you will take a boat to Namco."
"The stand-in will be careful throughout the whole process, try not to show his face, and go directly to the boat in a carriage." Wu Xiong said solemnly: "When their boat departed and attracted the attention of all parties, we went out of the city in disguise and rode to the 'Qinglong Beach' eighty miles away, where there was another boat prepared for us by the county guard. ”
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
He didn't care much about any assassination, after all, with the talent he was showing at the moment, it was rare for the hostile forces of the Hengyun Sect to send a second-rate master to assassinate him.
Sending top players? The probability is extremely small!
However, it was still beyond Wu Yuan's expectation that the county guard Jiangdongque could arrange it so thoroughly, and he had to praise 'heart' in his heart.
No fool can be a county keeper.
The crowd waited for nearly an hour.
"Wu Yuan, let's leave from the back door in batches, enter the 'Yang Mansion' next door, and then ride out of the city." Wu Xiong Road.
Wu Yuan has nothing to do.
In fact, a group of twelve of them will change their costumes, all of them are dressed as heroes of the rivers and lakes, and they all have makeup changes.
Even, Jiang Dongque also arranged six more ordinary city guard sergeants to accompany him.
And so it goes.
There are already suspicious soldiers, and the original group of twelve people has become 'eighteen', which will minimize the possibility of exposure.
……
As Wu Xiong expected, when the boat on which the suspicious soldiers were riding left, a group of eighteen of them left the city without any waves at all.
Such a chivalrous team is in any of the seven states of the Central Plains.
It's all too common.
"Don't be stingy with horsepower, speed up, and strive to reach Qinglong Beach within an hour." Wu Xiong said: "When the time comes, you can board the ship directly and set off, which will be faster than the boat of the suspicious soldiers, and it will be the safest." ”
"Okay."
"Let's go!" A group of eighteen people galloped along the 'official road'.
This official road was established during the heyday of the Chujiang Empire, and the ground was solid and heavy, and a post station would be set up every dozens of miles.
Together with the provinces, counties, and counties within the territory! Make sure the information gets delivered as quickly as possible!
Since the Hengyun Sect fully dominated the land of several prefectures, in terms of the degree of control over the place, it was better than at the end of the Chujiang Empire.
People along the way, occasionally encounter convoys and pedestrians.
But whenever they met Wu Yuan's carriage, they would give way.
As long as it's not stupid.
When I saw the chivalrous team of all the people riding the 'West Frost Horse', I knew that it was very difficult to mess with, and you must know that a West Frost Horse was worth a hundred taels of silver.
"With such a fast speed, even if someone is missing, there is a high probability that they will be thrown away." Wu Xiong's laughter echoed in the wind: "But, Wu Yuan, your riding skills are not weak!" ”
"It's not as good as Uncle Wu." Wu Yuan said with a smile.
He had no experience riding horses, but he was a powerful warrior with a high degree of body control, and with a little adaptation, he could rival some powerful knights.
"But!"
Wu Yuan was calm on the surface, and his gaze kept sweeping over both sides of the road: "Obviously there is no sign of being followed, why, I always feel that someone is staring at me?" ”
After the divine sense went to the Dantian Palace, Wu Yuan's perception was extremely keen!
…… Nearly two thousand meters above the ground.
A large pale cyan bird with wings spread about two meters is constantly circling and boiling, and its body is like a big eagle.
The color of the whole body almost blends with the color of the sky, making it difficult to see the ground!
Only the pair of cold eyes glowing with black light, looking down, staring at the high-speed movement on the straight official road, like a small horse team member.
"Dongzhou Bird and Bird Record": Dongzhou, Minzhou intersection of the mountains, there are strange birds, with the four seasons of the sky to change the color of the feathers, through human nature, can speak human language, the body is long like an eagle falcon, often swim 10,000 meters in the air, the speed is extremely fast can travel thousands of miles a day, the world calls it 'invisible bird'.
