Chapter 222: Advance Deployment
"It's fine! You've made a very wise choice, and I'll do exactly what I promised you, but you'll have to do the last thing for me. Now that your operation has failed, even if you go back, I am afraid that you will be killed, so it is better to hide here first, and I will send someone to pick you up when I need you. ”
The man in black nodded and said, "My name is Gao Guang, if you can do what you say, I am willing to testify for you and identify the Zhao family for hiring me to kill you." ”
Shao Xi stretched out his hand to help Gao Guang up from the ground, and said in a sincere tone: "You can rest assured of this, I am a promise, I will do what I say, and I will not promise what I can't do." ”
At this time, the whole courtyard stopped, and the yarn girl opened the door and walked out of the room. By the light of the oil lamp in her hand, she saw a few dead people lying on the ground in Shao Xi's house, but it was surprisingly calm, and she didn't scream like an ordinary woman at all, as if the scene in front of her had long been expected by her.
Shao Xi was still a little surprised by the reaction of the yarn girl, an ordinary woman in the yarn mill would not react to the murder, which only proved that she had seen too much, and now she was no longer surprised.
So under what circumstances would she have seen such a tragic scene?
There may be only one thing that can be thought of, the father of the yarn girl was a person who walked into the rivers and lakes when he was young, and he was by no means ordinary in terms of the way he taught her. Maybe she was taken by her father to walk the rivers and lakes when she was a child, and she saw a lot of killing scenes, so she can face it with a calm mind now.
"You settle him down first, I'll clean up a few things in the room, and when everything is settled, the two of us will leave tonight."
"Hmm."
The yarn girl didn't ask much, just nodded, and answered and helped Gao Guang to arrange a resting room, and also found some medicinal materials to heal him.
Shao Xi returned to the room, dragged all the intact and incomplete corpses out of the room, rolled them up in a few mats, and placed them on a wooden cart. This process caused blood everywhere inside and out, and Shao Xi went to the well to fetch a few buckets of water and rinsed the house and yard well.
I only tried to solve it quickly, but when I looked back and cleaned up the aftermath, I found that it was such a disgusting thing to cut off people's heads, and when I cleaned up, I went out with two heads, and I felt goosebumps all over my body.
After working hard for a while, he finally cleaned up the house and yard, and as for the corpses on the cart, they had to be placed there for the time being, which can be regarded as the "physical evidence" of Zhao Jiaxing's assassination of himself!
After tidying up, Shao Xi entered Gao Guang's room, and saw that the yarn girl had put some blood and qi replenishing herbs on the table, and took a few pieces of the clothes that his father wore before his death and handed them to Gao Guang, asking him to turn around and change them, otherwise the night clothes that were bloody and hula were always worn, and it made people feel uncomfortable when they looked at it.
All this had been arranged, and Shao Xi once again instructed Gao Guang not to leave the yarn mill until he arranged for someone to come and pick him up and go to Yujiang City.
After Gao Guang nodded in response, Shao Xi left the room with the yarn girl and walked into the courtyard.
"Yarn girl, this time I have to go to the three counties of Lingzhou to mobilize troops and horses, although Shangling County and Wuyang County are the closest, but they have to run at both ends, and there are more officials to deal with, so I will go, and Liantai County is farther away, you have a good body, you can go!"
The girl nodded, and had no opinion on Shao Xi's arrangement, but immediately asked, "I asked you yesterday, if I go to Liantai County, how can I make people believe that I am helping you transfer troops?" I'm a folk woman with no certificate or certificate, how can people believe me? You've got to give me a token, right? ”
"You're right, I've already thought about it, you wait for me."
As he spoke, Shao Xi took out the "Jing Chengsi" supervision history brand and the imperial edict given to him by Xiao Changyi from his satchel and handed it to the yarn girl.
"When you arrived in Liantai County, you took this 'Jing Cheng Division' waist card and told them that you are now acting for the 'Jing Cheng Division' and need to mobilize troops and horses. If someone refuses to listen to the dispatch of the 'Jing Cheng Division', you will take out this imperial edict again, and with this edict as if the Holy One is coming in person, no one will dare to disobey the order, otherwise it will be punished for the crime of bullying the king, so they will definitely transfer troops to you. Remember to ask them to mobilize at least 1,500 troops and horses, only more than less, and they must arrive at the back mountain of Bailu Mountain in the west of Yujiang City before dusk tomorrow, and let them wait for my orders to do the rest of the matter. ”
"Well, I understand, then should we set off now, or should we go together after you come out of Yujiang City?"
"Liantai County is far away, you don't have to wait for me to go first, you can go back to Shafang directly and wait for me to come back, I want to go to Yujiang City to discuss the transfer of troops and horses in the city with Cui Juncheng and Sun Junwei and others, it may take some time."
"Okay, then I'll go."
"Well, be careful along the way."
The two left the yarn mill together, and at the same time performed the "Qingpingdu" technique, and it didn't take long to rush to the riverside of Yujiang.
After a little relief, the two jumped to the surface of the river. Under the moonlight, the figures of the two are like two flying swallows playing in the water, treading water and speeding on the river, and they look even more light and elegant in the sparkling waves, and they have reached the other side of the Yujiang River in just a moment.
When they came ashore, the two didn't say much, just nodded to each other and then went their separate ways, the yarn girl rushed straight to the direction of Liantai County, and Shao Xi rushed to Yujiang City.
Putting down the yarn girl, let's just say that after Shao Xi rushed to Yujiang City, he pondered where to enter the city.
In the middle of the night, the gates were already closed. Without a very special warrant, it is impossible for the officers and soldiers defending the city to open the city gates. Besides, Shao Xi had sneaked back to Yujiang City secretly, how could he let the officers and soldiers open the city gate with great fanfare? The only way to use the cloud climbing body method to cross the city wall and sneak into the city is to sneak into the city.
Shao Xi rushed to the northwest corner of the city wall, where there were no officers and soldiers guarding it, and the patrol team was relatively long.
So, after waiting for a team of patrol officers and soldiers to pass by, Shao Xi used the cloud climbing body method to jump to the city wall, and after kicking on the city wall a few times, he used his strength to go up again, and only twice, Shao Xi's whole person had jumped onto the city.
Not daring to have any delay, Shao Xi ran to the other side of the city wall in a few steps, jumped from the city wall to the foot of the wall in the city, and after landing on the ground, he looked left and right to see if no one was found, so he used his lifeless body method to climb over the wall and rush towards Cui Qi's house.
The whole process was clean and without hesitation, and no one noticed his whereabouts.
It didn't take long for Shao Xi to rush to the door of Cui Qi's house, and came to the door and knocked on the door according to the pre-agreed code.
After a while, the wooden door opened, and it was still Lu Ju who opened the door, Shao Xi flashed into the door, Lu Ju probed to see that there was no one outside the door, hurriedly closed the wooden door again, and took Shao Xi all the way to Cui Qi's study.
At this time, Lao Wu, Sun Jue, Mo Zhaohui, and Pan Sheng were all waiting for Shao Xi's arrival in the study with Cui Qi, discussing how to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city, how to encircle and suppress the private army in Nanshan, and how to seal the city and take people to eradicate the Zhao family's forces after the encirclement and suppression were completed.
"Young master, do you mean to get rid of all the assassins? I didn't expect it to be quite fast, and we thought we would have to wait until the second half of the night! ”
"Well, a few miscellaneous fish have been solved, and I have left the one who took the lead alive, and I have persuaded him to give us a witness to identify the Zhao family."
Sun Jue clapped his hands and said, "It's great to have someone to testify!" Lord Shao, you really have a set, and you can actually convince the assassins. ”
Shao Xi looked at Lao Wu a little puzzled, and then at Sun Jue, why did these two goods seem to have nothing to do at this time? Is it really just acting during the day? That's too real, isn't it? I almost cheated on myself.
Cui Qi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Shao Xi's expression.
"It seems that even Master Shao was deceived by the two of you, and thought that you two really wanted you to live and die, to be honest, I thought you two were serious at the time, and I was really afraid that you two would have to fight hard."
"Hahaha......"
Lao Wu and Sun Jue laughed at the same time.
"Lord Shao, Xiaguan and Lord Wu are very close to each other, and they appreciate each other's personalities, so they have a tacit understanding when they start playing. What do you think? Today's performance of the two of us, Zhao Huajun would never have imagined that it was a scene specially played for him. ”
Shao Xi couldn't cry or laugh for a moment, arched his hand at the two people, and teased: "Two really strange people!" Your level of madness is really difficult for ordinary people to reach, I don't know if Zhao Huajun believes it or not, anyway, I believe it, and the official really admires the two of them. ”
A few people laughed again, and then they were about to start talking about business.
"Lord Sun, you will bring the soldiers and horses to the east of the city early tomorrow morning on the pretext of pulling them out for drills, and then quietly draw 1,500 to 2,000 soldiers and horses from them and lead them to the vicinity of Nanshan by you personally. The other soldiers and horses were led back to the city by Mo Zhaohui and Pan Sheng, and deployed in various important places in the city to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and arranged for people to secretly ambush near the main mansions of the Zhao clan for surveillance, and prepared to close the city at any time to take people. ”
"Understood, I don't know what arrangements Lord Shao will make to transfer troops to the three counties of Lingzhou?"
For the person who commanded the army, Sun Jue naturally wanted to understand the overall deployment of troops, so as to avoid unnecessary omissions when acting.
Shao Xi naturally understood what Sun Jue was thinking, so he said his thoughts.
"If there is no accident, before dusk tomorrow, the soldiers and horses of Liantai County will arrive at the back mountain of Bailu Mountain in the west of the city, and will be stationed on the spot to wait for orders. Lord Sun's soldiers and horses are in the east of the city, and I will rush to Shangling County and Wuyang County overnight, and I plan to arrange the soldiers and horses of these two counties in the south. After nightfall, the three sides encircled and suppressed, and the two adults in the city, Mo Zhaohui and Pan Sheng, led the soldiers and horses to encircle the city on the north side, so that the two thousand private troops could not be completely annihilated, and most of them would be scattered and scattered, and there was no possibility of gathering again. ”
"Your Excellency's arrangement is very appropriate, so the lower officials will act according to your lord's deployment and encircle and suppress the private army from the east side, which will be foolproof."
Shao Xi shook his head and said: "It may not be as foolproof as you think, the Zhao family has been raising this private army for a long time, and must have thought that one day it may be surrounded and suppressed, so I must know a lot about the soldiers and horses of this county under the jurisdiction of Lord Sun, but at that time, I will ask the soldiers and horses of the other two counties to gallop to help Lord Sun at any time." ”
"Lord Shao is thoughtful, this encirclement and suppression will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be successful immediately."
