Chapter 228: The Pond Fish Enter the Urn
"The city gate caught fire, and the fish in the pond were affected." Sometimes bad luck can't be stopped, just like Li Yi and others now.
Originally, he was full of joy, and he took the people on his side to get drunk and rest with the newly acquainted Jun Keyi and the other four people.
Think about how comfortable it would be for everyone to eat antique soup, drink wine and sing songs. But as soon as they entered the Weng City Gate of Xuanwu Gate of Shouzhou City, Li Yi immediately felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere around them.
Although there are still many traders and ordinary people in and out of the Xuanwu Gate, there are still many people in these hurried crowds who are wandering and strolling around.
You must know that most of the people who enter and leave the city at this time are either businessmen who do business or rush to go out of the city.
Whichever of these two people they were, they would not waste time at the gates. Li Yi was vigilant in an instant, although Mu Fengxiang had said that the relationship between Huainan and Yue was not harmonious, and Yue had wanted to use troops against Huainan many times, but Li Yi knew that there was no eternal friendship and grudge between countries, only eternal interests.
Once Yue Guo gave the corresponding conditions, it was difficult to guarantee that Huainan Guo would not do anything to Li Yi and others. After all, he killed the two sons of Yue Guo, and this great grudge Yue Guo is estimated to take revenge at all costs.
However, after only observing for a moment, he found that although these guys' eyes kept wandering, their eyes did not linger too much on their bodies.
In addition to Li Yi, Jun Keyi and Wu Zhongxiao also found that there was an abnormality at the city gate. Jun Keyi, who has always been known for his wisdom, began to plan how to kill them as soon as he discovered the abnormality of these people.
As a grass army, they have always been hated by the government and nobles, and in order to kill them, the officials and nobles will do everything, but the officials and nobles will not hesitate to use any means that can kill them.
And he himself has been ambushed more than once, and in many life and deaths, Jun Keyi has also practiced a quick escape method.
As for Wu Zhongxiao, unlike Li Yi and Jun Keyi, the way he found that there was something abnormal here was that he could feel a faint murderous aura.
This is actually a special skill of Wu Zhongxiao, who has been particularly sensitive to the so-called murderous spirit since he was a child.
When he was young, he would instinctively avoid butchers whenever he encountered them. In the eyes of others, his skill can be described as magical, but in Wu Zhongxiao's own opinion, this so-called feeling of murderous energy is actually just a sixth sense of his.
With this special sixth sense, he has escaped death more than once, which also makes him seem to be very grinning on the outside, but in fact he is extremely detailed on the inside.
This is actually a deceptive method for him to cover up his special sixth sense. His sixth sense can not only feel whether the other party has murderous aura, but can even feel that the other party's murderous aura is released.
So when he entered the urn city of this Xuanwu Gate, he was shocked at first, thinking that he had been discovered by others.
But after calming down, he felt it carefully, but found that the target of the other party's murderous aura was not himself.
At this moment, his hanging heart gradually relaxed. However, although he had determined that the other party's target was not his own people, he still pretended to be unaware.
"Something isn't right, there seems to be an ambush here." Jun Keyi then looked up at the head of the inner city wall, and he found that there were shadowy figures flickering behind the battlements at the head of the wall, so he immediately reminded him.
His words stunned everyone else, and everyone began to look around as if nothing had happened.
It's good not to look at it, but everyone was frightened at a glance.
"Childe, it seems that what Mu Fengxiang said is not accurate, it seems that King Huainan still wants to assist the Yue people to avenge their two sons." An Su immediately whispered after glancing around the surrounding situation.
"I'm afraid of him, against these guys, we just need to block the water and cover the earth, I don't believe that my Glaive Knife can't cut these guys." Qi Chao said with a disdainful face, he seemed that as long as the Glaive Sword was in his hand, the world was in his hand.
But his sister Qi Ning frowned.
"Don't worry, you see, although these guys are constantly observing the surroundings, his eyes are mainly focused on the outside of the city gate, which shows that their real target is still outside the gate, and we estimate that they are just pond fish that have been affected." Li Yi saw that all the people on his side were a little nervous, so he immediately opened his mouth to comfort.
After observation, Jun Keyi also found that what Li Yi said was very reasonable, and the other party's main eyes didn't seem to be focused on his own people.
"Little Brother Li, it seems that this time our meal is going to be postponed." Although Jun Keyi had roughly determined that his people were not the target of the other party, he found that the inner gate of the Xuanwu Gate had begun to show signs of closing.
After a brief calculation of the speed of his men, he was dismayed to find that even if they ran quickly, the men on his side might not be able to catch the gate closing.
In that case, the only way left for them was to exit the Urn City.
"Everybody hurry back now." Li Yi and Jun Keyi ordered the people on their side in unison.
Then the group of them immediately turned around collectively and walked towards the gate of the urn city. Zheng Gang and the man in black who were originally standing on the city tower did not notice Li Yi and the others, they had been waiting quietly for Mu Qingyun to appear like poisonous snakes.
But when Li Yi and the others collectively turned and walked towards the city gate, Zheng Gang immediately stared at Li Yi and the others with a vigilant gaze.
"There is a problem with these people." The man in black beside him immediately reminded him, his voice as hoarse as a sword cutting through tattered leather, very uncomfortable.
"Could it be that they are the Dark-Faced Army?" Zheng Gang immediately thought of Mu Qingyun's black-faced army.
As the deputy commander of the city guard battalion and his position in the Huainan Army, he still has some understanding of the Black Mask Army.
Although he did not have the authority to command such an ace army, he had inquired about the situation of these black-faced troops from others.
In what he inquired about, these black-faced soldiers were actually not a group of crazy people who only knew how to fight to the death as everyone had in their minds.
On the contrary, each of these guys in the Black-Faced Army is a master of hidden secrets. Some of these guys are very good at assassination, some are very good at planning, some are very good at siege, and of course, there is no shortage of people among them who can spy on intelligence.
In Zheng Gang's opinion, these guys in Urn City are very much like spies on intelligence. And they must have discovered something wrong in the urn city just now, and now they are going to go out to report the situation to Mu Qingyun.
"Stop them." The hoarse voice of the man in black sounded again. Zheng Gang was also a little anxious at this time, seeing that Mu Qingyun and the others had faintly appeared in the morning mist, as long as he waited for a while, Mu Qingyun would enter the trap.
If they go to intercept these black-faced soldiers at this time, they will most likely expose the ambush on their side. Their plans will then be in vain.
However, if they didn't stop those black-faced troops at this time, once they joined up with Mu Qingyun and the others, they would definitely report their findings to Mu Qingyun and the others as soon as possible.
At that time, the plan on his side will still fail.
"What are you waiting for, if these guys escape from the urn city, Mu Qingyun will definitely turn around and run away." Seeing that Zheng Gang was still hesitating, the man in black couldn't help but scold angrily.
"You shut up for me, Lao Tzu is the leader here, and it's not your turn to dictate what to do." Zheng Gang was very annoyed by the commanding appearance of the man in black, so he turned his head and roared angrily at the man in black.
Originally, he was holding his breath because he was threatened by others, but now he is ambushing Mu Qingyun here at the risk of his whole clan being killed, and the other party is still pointing fingers, which makes Zheng Gang, who has always been stubborn, unbearable.
Looking at the monstrous anger in Zheng Gang's eyes that were as open as copper bells, the man in black was suddenly frightened by him and was stunned on the spot.
Originally, he was nothing more than a lowly servant in the Yue State Bao Mansion. Although he was lucky to follow Bao Wenqin to marry in Huainan Kingdom and became a steward in the Huainan Palace.
Due to other long-term flattery, he gradually developed an arrogance that looks down on others, and in his own opinion, this arrogance is the so-called extravagance.
He has always used this so-called nobility to subdue many people, including many literati and scholars.
But in the face of Zheng Gang's monstrous murderous aura, the so-called noble aura that he had cultivated for many years was shocked without a trace in an instant.
At this moment, he changed from the high-ranking steward of the Huainan Royal Mansion to the humble servant of the Baofu who was bullied.
Although Zheng Gang vented all his anger, he still had to face the things in the urn city.
Now that he has boarded Lu Simian's thief ship, there is no turning arrow when he opens the bow, and he can only go all the way to the dark now.
Just as he was about to order his subordinates to intercept Li Yi and the others, a large group of caravans driving horses suddenly poured into the gate of Wengcheng.
These caravans came in a long line from the docks outside the city, and they blocked half of the gates of the city at once.
And Li Yi and the others were also forced to slow down because of this caravan.
"God help me!" Zheng Gang couldn't help laughing out loud after carefully observing the distance of Mu Qingyun outside the city gate.
Soon, a long caravan drove the horses into the gate of the urn city, and just as Li Yi and the others were about to leave the urn city quickly, a team of guys wearing armor and masks walked in two rows and walked in from outside the gate of the urn city.
At the same time, Mu Qingyun also rode in on a tall horse surrounded by a group of servants. And the twelve archers beside him, who were already tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In their opinion, as long as they entered Shouzhou City, then Mu Qingyun would be completely safe. The morning mist had shrouded them all the way just now, and they were afraid that their people, one of them who was not paying attention to the Inspectorate, would attack them again.
But now that they have entered Shouzhou City, they don't dare to do anything to Mu Qingyun even if they give the prosecutor's office.
After all, this Shouzhou City is Mu Qingyun's territory, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention that this Mu Qingyun is not a head snake in Shouzhou City, he is a real raptor.
It's just that what they don't know is that the Xuanwu Gate of Shouzhou City in front of them is now a complete trap.
One is not good, these people will all die here today.
"Not good!" Wu Zhongxiao immediately discovered that all the murderous aura emitted by those guys who were ambushed in the urn city and on the city wall was condensed into the bodies of these people in front of him.
Seeing that the target has fallen into the trap, is it difficult for these ambushed guys to close the net soon. The only way to besiege the target in the Urn City is to close the inner and outer gates.
Just after Wu Zhongxiao finished shouting badly, he saw some guys wearing ordinary new clothes and began to sneakily and quickly towards the gate of the urn city.
At the same time, he looked back and noticed that there were also some suspicious-looking guys at the entrance of the inner city gate.
And just when Wu Zhongxiao's voice fell, Li Yi had already discovered the strangeness at the inner and outer city gates. He made a simple calculation, if they wanted to rush to the outer gate of Xuanwu Gate at this time, they were afraid that it would be too late.
Besides, even if these people of their own can really run to the city gate before closing the city gate, those who are ambushed at the city gate will definitely allow themselves to escape.
Once the people on their side are entangled with those who are in ambush, the people who are in ambush on the wall above their heads will be able to shoot their own people into hedgehogs as soon as possible.
Faced with such a situation, Li Yi's brain was running rapidly. Just when he was still thinking, Hou Mu Qingyun and the others had completely walked into the urn city.
The entire man in black standing on the city wall was almost dancing with excitement at this time. They didn't expect that their side would really trap Mu Qingyun in the urn city so simply, and then they would completely wipe out Mu Qingyun and his servants from this world.
"Catch up with that caravan." In an instant, Li Yi's thoughts flickered, and in the blink of an eye, various countermeasures flashed in his head like lightning.
It was only a moment before he thought of a way to deal with the attack, especially the archers who might be above the walls.
Although everyone didn't understand that Li Yi didn't want to get out of the city gate quickly, they turned their heads and walked towards the urn city.
However, they also all know that time is running out at this time, and once they hesitate, they will be killed by those ambushed guys.
So they immediately turned their heads and walked quickly towards the caravan with Li Yi's pace. Zheng Gang on the city wall saw Li Yi and the others walking towards the urn city, but he was not worried at all now.
Now, even if Li Yi and the others tell Mu Qingyun and the others that this is a trap place, it will be useless.
In his opinion, since the turtle has entered the urn, how can there be any reason to worry? Immediately, he simply waved his arm on the city wall, and the originally open inner and outer Xuanwu Gate was there
"Squeak, squeak" was slowly closed. For a while, both the people inside and outside the urn city and the caravan all asked loudly in puzzlement.
But for Zheng Gang, he didn't have to care about the clamor of these people at all.
