Chapter 189: Carrying a Knife as a Guest?
"Oh?"
After hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Ying Qi was slightly shocked.
After all, his departure from Xianyang is just a recent news.
It stands to reason that Zhang Jiao, who is far away in the north, has gotten the news.
If you want to send a large army back to rush back to help, it will inevitably take some time.
But this time Zhang Jiao was able to dare to arrange everything before himself.
This made Ying Qi a little suspicious.
"Don't be surprised."
"The last general has put some eyeliner in Xianyang City."
"Therefore, when Miss Nalan was looking for her son, the last general had already guessed the approximate situation."
"That's why we were able to complete the deployment before Childe."
"This time, Ba County and Shu County both have our people."
"Even if someone wants to be unfavorable to Childe, we will do our best!"
Zhang Jiao's words fell.
Ying Qi's doubts also disappeared in an instant.
Naturally, he would not worry about Zhang Jiao's plot against him.
After all, I still believe in Zhang Jiao's personality.
Now.
He patted Zhang Jiao on the shoulder.
He slowly spoke: "General Zhang Jiao has a heart. ”
The latter heard this.
Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's all what the last general should do!" ”
In an inn in Hanzhong County.
After a long journey.
Ying Qi and the others also chose to stay here before nightfall.
This inn is called Wansan Inn.
Naturally, it is also the property of Mansantang.
In fact, today's Wansantang's industries are all over Daqin.
And it is precisely because of Shen Wansan's foresight that today's Wansantang is making money.
There were even rumors.
The wealth that Wansantang has gathered now is more abundant than the Great Qin treasury.
Of course, for Ying Qi, a person in the know, this is naturally impossible.
However, this can also show that today's Wansantang has a pivotal position in Great Qin.
"Childe."
"The man has prepared a good meal."
Nalan Tutu is now the acting treasurer of Wansantang.
Therefore, she explained her identity to the shopkeeper of the Wansan Inn.
The latter is even closed.
began to serve Ying Qi and others with one mind.
Originally, this inn was a lonely and unknown place in Hanzhong County, and it should have closed down a long time ago.
Fortunately, Wan Santang pulled this inn a hand.
As a result, the inn survived the difficulties and ushered in today's glory.
"Eating is another story."
"Don't bother this time."
Li Bai was guarding in front of Ying Qi's gate at the moment.
said indifferently to Nalan Tutu.
And inside the door.
Ying Qi looked at the map drawn by Wan Santang in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to a boundary in Hanzhong County.
"Now we are here. ”
"It takes a day at most to get into Ba County."
"General Zhang Jiao, how many men and horses have you planted in Ba County and Shu County this time?"
Facing Ying Qi's questioning.
Zhang Jiao thought for a moment and then said, "Back to Gongzi's words." ”
"The last general sent more than 6,000 men from among the soldiers and horses of the Northland."
"Respectively placed in Ba County and Shu County."
"There should be more than 3,000 soldiers waiting to be sent in Ba County."
Speaking of which.
Zhang Jiao seemed to think of something.
He said again: "Among these soldiers this time, there are more than 1,000 crossbowmen, who can wait for the son's dispatch at any time. ”
Hear this.
Ying Qi nodded in satisfaction.
Immediately said to Xu Chu on the side: "General Xu Chu." ”
"After entering Ba County, you will take the Tiger Talisman and ask for at least 1,000 soldiers and horses from the county lieutenant of Ba County."
"I'm not going to use the Yellow Turban soldiers this time."
"I just want to use these more than a thousand soldiers and horses to tell those guys who want to go against my Great Qin Xianyang Medical Center."
"Whoever dares to make things difficult for Xianyang Medical Center will not be able to get along with me."
"Behind the Xianyang Medical Center, I am Ying Qi to protect me!"
As Ying Qi's words fell.
Xu Chu nodded immediately, and soon wrote down the location of the county lieutenant of Ba County.
The next morning, he would be there.
After the explanation.
Ying Qi is to open the door.
There were three people standing outside the door at the moment.
Liu Wuhua, Meng Pozhou, Yang Sanjiu.
"What?"
Ying Qi's gaze swept over the three people in front of him.
Asked with a frown.
I saw Meng Pozhou take the lead and said: "Childe, this time you are going to enter Ba County, and we want to be separated from Gongzi for the time being." ”
"Brother Liu is worried about the changes in his family and wants to leave for Nanhai County tonight."
"I hope that the son will be fulfilled."
Ying Qi heard this.
His eyes fell on Liu Wuhua's body.
He nodded and said, "Naturally." ”
"You are not under my command in the first place, so naturally there is no need to be so restrained."
"It's just that this road is bound to be difficult, and please be careful."
With Ying Qi's words.
Several people looked at each other, and after thanking Ying Qi first, they quickly got on the horse and left.
Look at their backs.
Ying Qi said to Zhang Jiao beside him: "General Zhang Jiao." ”
"I'm sorry for you to inform me, let the Yellow Turban soldiers secretly protect the three of them along the way."
"After all, they are just literati, if they encounter bandits, I am afraid that they will not escape death!"
Hear this.
Zhang Jiao immediately nodded and said, "The last general understands." ”
Because Liu Wuhua and others rode away.
Now the only people left with Ying Qi are Li Bai, Xu Chu, Zhang Jiao and Nalan Tutu.
But this is also with Ying Qi's wish.
After all, he didn't want to be too ostentatious.
After a full meal, everyone fell asleep peacefully.
At nightfall.
A figure slowly walked into the inn.
The visitor wore a hat on his head, covered with a black scarf, and was equipped with a war knife hanging from his waist.
"This guest officer."
"The inn is not open today."
When the innkeeper saw someone breaking in, he immediately said with a smile.
The man paid no heed to the innkeeper's words.
Instead, he walked straight upstairs.
"Guest."
"Please stay!"
Seeing this, the innkeeper's face suddenly changed.
The latter is as if they can't be heard at all.
It's already on the second floor.
Just as the innkeeper was about to stop the other party.
I saw that the war knife at his waist suddenly came out of its sheath.
It is immediately inserted into the ground.
He said coldly: "I don't want to kill." ”
The innkeeper who saw the other party's knife trembled.
Ran downstairs in a panic.
The man with the hat did not put away his sword, but went straight to a door.
When you stretch out your hand and are about to knock.
I saw the door in front of me slowly open.
A voice sounded at this moment: "The knife came to my door in the middle of the night." ”
"I don't know who can't wait so much and wants me to die."
As Ying Qi's words fell.
Two people rushed out of the door.
Xu Chu, Li Bai!
"Huh?"
Seeing this, the man with the hat suddenly changed his face.
The figure quickly retreated, distancing itself from the two in front of him.
Ning Sheng asked, "How did you find my traces?" ”
