Liangzhou City Baoxiang grocery store, Zheng Xingyuan bought a hat. After asking about the guard's mansion, he left in a hurry.

Arriving at the door of the guard's mansion, Zheng Xingyuan asked the guards in a low voice if General Hu was in the mansion.

The soldier told Zheng Xingyuan that General Hu had not returned from patrolling the army.

After hearing this, Zheng Xingyuan turned his head and left.

Along the way, he walked through the streets and alleys, and finally settled in a restaurant in Liangzhou Old Street.

After entering the restaurant, Zheng Xingyuan casually asked for some wine and food, and chose an inconspicuous seat and sat down.

Zheng Xingyuan poured himself a drink, and just took a few mouthfuls of food, when he heard the footsteps upstairs and the noise.

A thin general with a dozen stubborn armor soldiers went up the stairs, the general raised his sword, and a pair of small mung bean eyes slyly glanced around.

He shouted at the crowd in the seats: "Ben will receive a secret report that there are spies hidden in the restaurant, and now no one is allowed to move, so I will sit honestly in my position and accept interrogation." ”

The general gave the order, and the soldiers formed a circle, their swords facing everyone present.

In this way, wherever the general went, the soldiers pulled out the drinkers and searched them.

After the general walked in front of Zheng Xingyuan, he stared at Zheng Xingyuan with a cold gaze.

The general ordered Zheng Xingyuan to get up and accept a body search.

Zheng Xingyuan said coldly: "The general is investigating the spies, can you take out the search warrant from the General's Mansion for me to see?" ”

After that, Zheng Xingyuan took the wine glass and drank all the wine in the cup.

His act of resistance frightened the other drinkers, and the shopkeeper also hid aside, wiping the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead with his cuffs from time to time.

Seeing that Zheng Xingyuan did not cooperate with the search, the general cut his hands back, tilted his head to look at him, and then snorted coldly: "You look like a roe deer, and it is not a good thing at first glance. ”

Zheng Xingyuan still maintained his original strength, and he told the general that it was not that he did not cooperate, but that he had to show the search warrant of the general's mansion.

The general snorted coldly and said: "Look at the people present, which one is not the one who took the initiative to accept the inspection, but there are many incidents that have occurred here, needless to say, you are a spy who has infiltrated the city." Come on, take him down for me. ”

As soon as the general's words fell, the soldier raised his sword and held his sword, and wanted to capture Zheng Xingyuan.

Zheng Xingyuan flew up and smashed the wine table into the soldiers who were besieging him.

For a while, people turned over on their backs, and the cups were broken.

The general danced wildly with his hands and feet on the side, and he shouted with his mouth full of spittle: "This guy is undoubtedly a spy, this guy is undoubtedly a spy." ”

As he yelled, he also pulled out his portable knife and joined the battle circle.

Zheng Xingyuan saw the general come forward, he grabbed a handful of peanuts from the plate and threw them at the general.

After the "crackling" sound, the general's nose and face were swollen after being beaten, and Zheng Xingyuan took the opportunity to roll down the window and slipped away from the downtown street.

The general covered his swollen and aching face and shouted at the soldiers: "Summons the order, inform the city gate officials to close the four gates, and not let the thieves escape." ”

The accompanying soldiers said to him: "General Ma, General Hu is still patrolling outside the city, without his general order, how can we close the city gate casually?" ”

General Ma stepped forward and kicked the soldier in a heel fight, and he cursed: "If you want to do too much, if you can't do an errand, I will cut off your head." ”

The soldiers had to follow his orders and go to the four gates to inform the city gate officials.

Zheng Xingyuan returned to the inn, and after settling the bill, he was about to go out, when he saw a team of soldiers from the outer gate searching from house to house.

He knew that these armor soldiers were coming for him, so he took advantage of the unpreparedness and flew to the tall willow outside the house, and hid himself with the help of dense branches and leaves.

As soon as he went out, General Ma barged in with his soldiers.

General Ma said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Li, I know that spy lives in your inn, let me ask you, where is he?" ”

Shopkeeper Li told General Ma that the person he was looking for had just settled the house money and was missing at the moment.

General Ma pushed Li Dang's cabinet to the side, and ordered the soldiers to search house by house, and found the spy to be killed on the spot.

After making a fuss again, I didn't even see a figure.

General Ma took the soldiers and went elsewhere.

At this moment, the information was fed back from the four city gates, and no one slipped out of the city.

This calmed General Ma's heart a little, and after he asked the soldiers to continue to arrest Zheng Xingyuan, he rode a fast horse and ran alone to a large house in the western corner of the city.

General Ma knocked on the door three times, and the door opened, and he looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he hurriedly got in.

There are two people sitting on the left and right of the living room, one is Guan Saiyan and the other is Ma Qiansha.

After General Ma saw Ma Qiansha, he said to him: "Second brother, I saw that person from the Chen Family Restaurant according to the portrait you gave me. ”

Ma Qiansha's eyes bulged, poked his head out and said to General Ma: "Qianli, are you sure that the one in the restaurant is the person I am looking for?" ”

Ma Qianli nodded again and again, and then replied: "Second brother, it's true, that person is exactly the same as the person you want to find in terms of appearance and martial arts." ”

Ma Qiansha let out an "um" and casually asked Ma Qianli, has that person been killed?

Ma Qianli covered his painful face and said to Ma Qiansha: "Second brother, that person is strong in martial arts, and I brought all the elite soldiers with my junior brother, but instead of catching someone, I was beaten up by him." Second brother, you have to take such a bad breath for your little brother. ”

Ma Qiansha slapped the table and scolded Ma Qianli: "Waste, that person was injured internally, you have not bargained for so many elite soldiers, I am really angry." ”

Ma Qianli saw that Ma Qiansha was angry, and he told Ma Qiansha that the man walked vigorously and walked like flying, not looking like he was injured at all?

Hearing this, Ma Qiansha fell into deep thought, how could he not work on Zheng Xingyuan's body when he had practiced the sand sweeping legs for many years? Is there any flaw in the move?

Guan Saiyan watched coldly and saw Ma Qiansha's thoughts. He told Ma Qiansha that the immediate priority was to find someone, and if the surname Zheng went to Hu Shijiang to present the token, then the desert robbery and killing would inevitably be exposed.

Ma Qiansha also knew the power of it, and he said to Guan Saiyan: "Castle master, at present, my third brother has closed the city gate, and according to intelligence, the surnamed Zheng did not leave the city in time, he must be hiding somewhere in the city." However, Hu Shijiang is still outside the city, if he does not open the door, he must think that there is a sense of rebellion in the city, and then Liangzhou will be in chaos, so it will not be easy to catch the surname Zheng. ”

Guan Saiyan said to Ma Qiansha: "Brother Ma, I have a plan, you can give it a try." ”

Ma Qiansha's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Castle Master, what are your plans?" ”

Guan Saiyan told Ma Qiansha that he could implement a strategy of tightening the outside and loosening the inside, ambushing eyeliner everywhere in the city, keeping an eye on the surname Zheng's every move, and then secretly arranging his hands outside the city, once he found a trace of the surname Zheng, he would be killed.

Ma Qiansha and Ma Qianli nodded again and again after listening, Ma Qiansha told Ma Qianli to open the city gate quickly, everything was calm as usual, and the people must not be disturbed in the city, so that Hu Shijiang could find out the abnormality.

After Ma Qianli rode out on a fast horse, he immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

The market is also business as usual, with people coming and going.

Zheng Xingyuan watched all this clearly from the tall tree, sneering from time to time on his face.

That night, Hu Shijiang was reading "The Art of War" in the mansion at night, when the figure of the window flickered, and when he got up, two black shadows had already entered the house.

General Hu Shijiang saw two men in black standing in front of him, and he was about to draw his sword, but the man in black said to him: "General Hu, if the two of us have the intention of harming you, when you turn around, you will already be dead." ”

Hu Shijiang thought calmly and slowly retracted the knife from its scabbard.

He waved his hand at the two of them, and then asked, "I don't know what happened when the two of you sneaked into the General's Mansion late at night?" ”

The two said to General Hu Shi: "General Hu has been guarding Liangzhou for many years, sympathetic to the army and the people, and can be called a loyal, brave and good general. ”

Hu Shijiang stroked his slight beard and said to the two: "The two of you came at night, not only to say these flattering words, but also this is what Hu should do, the so-called Wen Anbang, Wu Dingguo." Eat the king's luck, and be loyal. ”

The two of them stared at each other and took off their cloths.

Hu Shijiang saw a man and a woman in front of him with handsome faces and free and easy manners, and his good impression of them gradually increased in his heart.

The two took out the token from their arms and handed it to Hu Shijiang.

Hu Shijiang looked at the token, which read, "Great Song guerrilla generals Fu Tianpeng, Zhao Xueqing." ”

General Hu Shijiang saw that they were all generals, and hurriedly asked them to sit down.

The two told Hu Shijiang that the matter was urgent and it was inconvenient for them to stay for a long time.

Seeing their solemn expressions, Hu Shijiang hurriedly asked what happened?

Fu Tianpeng handed over a token from his arms to Hu Shijiang's hand, Hu Shijiang took the token, opened his eyes wide, and hurriedly asked Fu Tianpeng where did this token come from?

Fu Tianpeng told Hu Shijiang that a friend of his had taken it from a dying general when he was passing through the Ganliang Desert.

Subsequently, Fu Tianpeng briefly told Hu Shijiang about the attack on the horse team, and after Hu Shijiang listened to Fu Tianpeng's account, he burst into tears and looked sad.

Hu Shijiang held the token tightly, and his eyes radiated a determined light.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry, I will definitely find out the real culprit and avenge you." ”

Zhao Xueqing took over and said, "General Hu, I'm afraid that before you take revenge, you will also encounter the plot of the villains. ”

Hu Shijiang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Zhao Xueqing what he meant by this?

Zhao Xueqing told General Hu that the disaster caused Xiao Wall, and now the spy is hiding in the mansion, if this person is let know the news, he will definitely go all out to deal with General Hu.

Hu Shijiang was suspicious of the letter, Zhao Xueqing knew this, and then threw a stack of letters on his desk.

Hu Shijiang opened the letter, and when he saw the contents inside, he was so angry that he trembled.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and scolded: "This thief actually dares to secretly communicate with the horse gang and kill the generals of the imperial court, I want to bring all the soldiers and horses to get rid of this rebel general." ”

Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw that Hu Shijiang was extremely angry, and immediately intervened to stop his impulse, and the two told Hu Shijiang that this matter was definitely not done by Ma Qianli alone. He also has a master behind him to help, rashly capture the enemy, once the plan fails, but suffers from it.

Hu Shijiang calmed down and asked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing for their clever plan to defeat the enemy.
