I don't know how long they slept, maybe only a little while, and they were woken up. The person who woke them up did not know anyone, dressed in the clothes of a scholar, but they were disheveled, and they held the jade pendant that they had just escorted. Seeing that they woke up, this person took a long look: "A certain Zhang family, dare to invite Zheng Gongzi!" "The attitude is serious, but there is a kind of amusement that is indescribable.

Zheng Anping couldn't help laughing, knelt up by the fire, and bowed straight: "A certain Zheng family, don't dare to work Zhang Gongzi!" ”

The man shook his head again and said, "......." Alas, let's be straight, please Zheng Gongzi into the city, there is something important! ”

Zheng Anping was puzzled: "Childe is ......?" ”

The man handed over the jade pendant, Zheng Anping glanced at it, did not take it, and asked, "How to enter the city?" ”

The man said, "Come with me!" ”

Zheng Anping followed the man to the city gate, and the man took out a copper ling, shook it twice, and put down a belt on the city. Zheng Anping looked at this thing that had made him suffer a lot, and he was a little hesitant.

The man said, "Put all your feet in,...... Yes, pedaling the ...... the city wall, good! Seeing that Zheng Anping complied, he shook Tong Ling twice, and pulled Zheng Anping off the ground with a force.

"Kick the wall, go up, kick!" The man reminded loudly, but the voice grew farther and farther away. Zheng Anping according to what he said, the two ** substitutes kicked the wall hard, as if walking on the city wall, and really went to the city without suffering so much.

After Zheng Anping went to the city, he saw Xinlingjun standing by the city gate tower at first sight, and Jin Cong was still standing beside him, followed by a group of warriors who followed Xinlingjun.

Xin Lingjun waited for Zheng Anping to remove the belt, and then beckoned him to come over. Zheng Anping walked over as he said, and arched his hand according to the rules of the martial arts: "Martial arts Zheng Anping listens to the order!" ”

Xin Lingjun asked, "Has Gongzi seen the army?" What's going on now? ”

Zheng Anping replied: "Gongzi Mang ordered his ministers to be stationed outside the city and greet the army himself. Later, there was a soldier who came to pass the order with Jie Pei, and the army should not be far from the city. ”

"See a defeated army on the road?"

"I didn't see it. But outside the city, he met five Qin soldiers. ”

"And how do you get out?"

After the soldiers arrived, the Qin army was frightened away. On the way back, he did not meet them again, nor did he meet other Qin troops. ”

Jin contempt interjected: "It's not for nothing that I haven't encountered it. Maybe hidden in the shadows. ”

Zheng Anping replied: "Exactly, the five people including the old minister returned together and responded to each other in case of accidents!" ”

Xinlingjun said: "Well done! Can you recognize the Word of return? ”

Zheng Anping said: "It should be possible." ”

Jin Cong said: "The goal of managing the city is very big, and it is generally impossible to make mistakes. It's just that it's risky on the road. ”

Xin Lingjun said: "The soldiers are fast. Set off at once, while they haven't regained their senses. ”

Jin said disdainfully: "Now, how to get out of the city?" Hammer out? If the city is opened, if a few sharp soldiers come over, it will not be a big loss because of a small one! ”

Xinlingjun said: "I have already thought about it, now open the city, only one car will be released, and the city will be closed immediately." I don't expect Qin Jun to be able to come back to the taste. ”

Jin was surprised: "A car, that's too dangerous!" ”

Xin Lingjun said resolutely: "Just one car, General, Zheng Gongzi and Bucai!" After leaving the city gate, we didn't stop all the way, and galloped straight to Guancheng, and when the Qin army knew, we also arrived at Guancheng. ”

He turned to the warriors and said, "When I go out of the city, you will guard the towers of the city, and if the Qin army attacks, immediately fire arrows, and do not care about me, and must protect the city." When I have left the city and the gates of the city have been closed, you will go out of the city through the secret passage, and the post men under the city will lead the way, and meet me in the army. On the way, listen to Zhang Xuan's dispatch. ”

Everyone agreed: "Yes!" ”

Xinlingjun gave Zheng Anping a deep look: "Please go down to the city with me!" Then he turned and walked down the city. Jin Cong followed and wanted to go down to the city, but he stopped halfway and said to the city gatekeeper: "Find a shield and armor for Zheng Gongzi!" ”

The castle guard replied, "There is a car!" ”

Zheng Anping went down to the city and saw a man coming with a chariot.

Jin Contempt said to Zheng Anping: "Please Zheng Gongzi change his clothes!" ”

Zheng Anping looked at the car, there was a bow hanging on the left side of the car, and a shield, a pair of leather armor and a leather jacket on the right side of the car. Zheng Anping got into the car, put on a leather jacket, put on another layer of leather jacket over his leather armor, and surrounded the front and back of the leather jacket. Put a shield on his left arm and stick his halberd in the cart.

At the same time that Zheng Anping put on his armor, the city guard issued the command to "raise the city gate" at the signal of Xinlingjun. The warriors of the castle were at the side of the city wall, and they were ready to shoot with their bows and arrows in turn. A few soldiers shook a wheel, and a huge stone slowly rose from the city gate.

Zheng Anping suddenly said: "Where is the golden festival that the minister asked for?" ”

Xin Lingjun was stunned.

Zheng Anping said: "If there is no Golden Festival, how can the minister return to his life!" ”

Jin Jian jumped into the car, took out the copper section from his arms, handed it to Zheng Anping, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I only think about it now!" ”

Zheng Anping took the copper festival in the car and put it in his arms, feeling a little uneasy. Jin Contempt didn't look at him, he just adjusted the reins and the horsewhip.

Zheng Anping put on his armor, and the jack gate was also hoisted above the city gate. Jin contempt shouted: "Childe get in the car!" Xin Lingjun jumped into the car and stood on the left side of the car. Jin contempt held the reins of the horse, and Zheng Anping held the car with his hand. The soldiers on both sides of the gate were armed with halberds and ready to fight.

When the castle keeper saw Shin Lingjun jump into the car, he shouted, "Open the city!" ”

Two soldiers stepped forward to lift the deadbolt, and the other two grabbed a knocker, and the gate slowly opened to both sides.

At the same time as the soldiers walked towards the city gate, Jin Jian also started the chariot and slowly walked towards the city gate; When the city gate was opened, Jin Yan shook the reins violently, and the four horses changed from slow to fast walking, and rushed out of the city gate. At about the same time as the carriage rushed out of the city gate, the city guard shouted: "Close the city! The doors on both sides were pushed back on, and the carriage had already quickened its pace under the adjustment of Jin Contempt. By the time the jack gate fell to the ground again, the carriage had disappeared into the moonlight.

The movement in the city was obviously unexpected by the five people outside the city. They heard the sound of the jack gate rising, and saw that the city wall was suddenly full of archers, and they also guessed that someone was going out of the city, so they hurriedly stepped back and stood close to the wall, so as not to be struck by arrows. Then the gates opened, and a chariot sped out, and the gates closed without even them reacting. I only heard the voice of Xinlingjun: "You will follow!" ”

After an unknown time, a wall suddenly opened outward, and the samurai bowed their heads and walked out. After the samurai had completely walked out, the wall was closed again, and there was nothing unusual from the outside.

Zhang Yu, who was out of the city at the beginning, saw that everyone was out of the city, so he said: "Everyone is out, ready to leave." Then he said to the guards, "Lead the way." ”

Ma San and the other four people want to go ahead. Zhang Yu stopped them: "Now that the Qin people have stolen in, we have to divide into several formations to advance." Do not be ahead of you, but walk in the midst of the formation. ”

Zhang Yu divided the people into six teams and marched forward in turn. Ma San and the others who led the way were arranged in each team, and each team covered in turn and advanced layer by layer. When the time comes, stop to rest and eat dry food. By the time they reached Guancheng, it was already the evening of the next day.

In the darkness of the night, the chariot jolted on the grass. Jin Wei tried to keep the four horses at an even brisk pace, and to reduce the shaking as much as possible. Xin Lingjun held the chariot in his hands, his feet straining to keep his body balanced, and his eyes searched for suspicious signs in the grass in the moonlight. He was confident that if there was even the slightest movement of a figure within fifty steps, he would be able to shoot him to death in two steps.

But he still had to spend more time thinking about what lay ahead: how could Mang Mao suddenly retreat? What if the Qin army infiltrated under the city of Daliang with the army of Mangmao? What do you have to do to stabilize the situation?

He asked Zheng Anping again: "Is General Mang's army really in charge of the city?" ”

"In the northwest of Guancheng! There was no one in the city, and when the ministers set out, a group of soldiers had just arrived outside the city. ”

"You didn't see any scattered soldiers along the way?"

"Nope!" Although Zheng Anping was a little curious why Xin Lingjun asked the question in the city again, he still answered calmly. He was wary that an arrow would fly out of nowhere, and he feared that he would not have time to raise his shield to cover it. Xin Lingjun's question was very distracting to him, and his worry was even greater, but he didn't show it either.

Jin Cong, who was driving in the middle, said in a rough voice: "Mangmao is the most slippery, so he won't really work hard!" ”

Xin Lingjun said thoughtfully: "Behind him is the big beam, it's difficult not to fight!" The tone was calm, but he greeted Mangmao many times in his heart. 100,000 troops, 15,000 soldiers, this is a force enough to storm the city, but without a sound, it was defeated by the Qin army.

"The prince doesn't have to worry, as long as the 100,000 army is still there, there will be no problem in fighting against the city." Jin said again.

But Xinlingjun knew how big the difference was between an army that attacked a city and turned it into a defensive city. I originally wanted to make a lot of money, but it turned out to be capital preservation! Even if Ben is saved, the business will be lost. But he still calmly said to Jin Contempt: "This must be a bloody battle, it all depends on the doctor!" ”

The three of them talked without saying a word, and the light of torches appeared in front of them, and it was obvious that they came to the outside of Guancheng City very smoothly and joined the military guards sent by Mangmao to meet outside Guancheng.

Somehow, Zheng Anping actually felt a little disappointed, of course he knew that it was best if nothing happened, but he seemed to hope that something would happen!

Jin Qian slowed down his speed slightly, Zheng Anping jumped out of the car and ran towards the bridge, shouting as he ran: "Pay the order!" …… Order! ……”

The captain over there had obviously heard the sound of horses' hooves, and was already standing by the bridge waiting at this time, and when he saw Zheng Anping, when he was inspecting the festival, Xin Lingjun's carriage had already driven over. The pawn jumped into the car and said loudly: "Five miles west!" Then he shouted to the soldiers, "Disperse!" ”

The carriage sped past the scattered crowd, crossed the bridge, and headed west along the river. The pawn closed the group and ran in the direction of the wagon. Zheng Anping hurriedly caught up with the man who seemed to be the leader and asked, "What should I do?" ”

The man glanced at Zheng Anping and said, "No order, you still do the original errand!" ”

The original errand?

Zheng Anping seemed to remember that his original errand was guarding here; If Manshen sends someone to contact him, he will be responsible for passing the received Jiepei to the next station and handing it over to Ma San. Originally, he didn't know what these errands meant, but now he knew that all of this was just so that Xinling-kun could rush to the front line.

But because he discovered the scouts of the Qin army, the errand was different: he and all the post guards returned to the Great Wall, while he returned to Guancheng on the Warring States of Xinling Jun; According to the original deployment, he should have stayed in the position of the Ma San station.

He shook his head a little disappointed, not knowing whether he should stay where he was, or return to the post of Ma San where he was supposed to stay. And he couldn't help but think that Ma San had found a woman there......
