Chapter 740: Ambush
Apparently the team was not ignorant of the situation, and at the sound of a shout, everyone stopped the carriage and parked the goods at the gates of the city, with great skill and no sign of panic.
The leader was a sturdy middle-aged man, perhaps because he was afraid of heat, he had two sturdy arms exposed, and he looked powerful.
Although the night was dark, the first time he jumped out of the carriage, he already recognized that the soldier was wearing the armor of the Marquis of the City Gate, and immediately saluted respectfully: "My lord, we are here to deliver meat to the military operation, once a month. ”
"Do you have a paperwork?" Hearing this, the Marquis of the City Gate approached forward with a spear in one hand, and several City Gate soldiers behind him also followed, looking up and down the entire team with a scrutinizing gaze.
"It's the paperwork. The middle-aged man carefully took out a roll of bamboo slips wrapped in sheepskin from his arms, handed it to the soldier with both hands, and smiled at several soldiers who were checking the goods on the side, "You adults are really hard, you have to guard the door at night." ”
"Are you Han Zhong?" The city gate Hou skimmed through the paperwork, confirmed the mark at the end, and laughed while letting down his vigilance: "Who says it's not, especially these days, when the management is strict, there are three groups of people on duty in turn, and they can't even take a nap at night." But looking at the days on the paperwork, you delivered the meat a few days earlier?"
As he spoke, he also took a few steps forward and shouted to the soldiers, "Take a good look, and let them go if there is no problem." ”
As Han Zhong said, the car was filled with meat, some wrapped in lotus leaves, and some were packed in buckets, wrapped in sauce, and only need to be opened to smell an enticing fragrance.
The two soldiers who inspected all the way over, but they didn't do anything bad about it, they just picked some and tasted it, and finally pinched their fingers and continued to check.
Han Zhong also knows how to be a man very well, and smiled at a few people appropriately: "It just happens that the small ones also have some pork knuckles, and the military masters can take some to eat in a while, and it is good to satisfy their hunger." ”
"That's great. The city gate marquis is not in a hurry to follow the "oil rubbing", but it does not mean that he is not interested in these things, although the size of the guard is also a city gate marquis, but the city gate captain above his head is the real person in power, compared to those big people who sit indoors to rest, he is just a person who does hard work.
He put his spear on his shoulder and asked, "By the way, didn't you go to the military camp to go to the Chaozong Gate in the east? Why did you go to our gate today?"
"I used to go to the sect, but after changing the city gate from there, the new Lord Rong is really not too difficult to talk to. Speaking of this, Han Zhong's face showed a bit of bitterness, "He didn't say that martial law is now under martial law in Jingwu, and he is not allowed to go out of the city at night, even if he gives the paperwork, he is not allowed, and we have no way, so we left this end." ”
"I don't know about it. The Marquis of the City Gate smiled and teased again, "But this is also just cheaper, we get all this oil and water for nothing, isn't it?" It's just that Boss Han, you are a little bitter, and you can walk for half an hour from our gate to the barracks in a while." ”
No one noticed that Han Zhong's fist in the shadows suddenly clenched.
But then, he sighed again, and said helplessly: "This is also a helpless thing, you say, what we eat is this bowl of rice, if we really don't send it, the army can't take our bitterness ha?"
Soon, the two soldiers who were inspecting the goods also walked back, nodded their heads, probably indicating that nothing unusual was found in the car, and then the city gate marquis nodded, turned back to the city and shouted: "Release." ”
"Thank you, Master Jun!" Han Zhong was overjoyed, and then immediately asked the people below to bring a few elbows, and even took out a jar of wine, which was handed over to several people in one go.
The city gate marquis naturally took those things with a smile and waved his hand to let them pass, but after waiting for a while, the city gate never opened, and the darkness in the city cave was still there, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Damn, these bastards, I have to throw them into the moat to wake up their minds. "Several city gates in Jingwu are connected to the city head, although the city gate Hou has the key, if you really want to open it, you have to let the people at the city head help, since there is no movement at this city gate, it is obvious that the people at the city head are lazy and asleep.
"You wait here, I'll go up for a while. With that, the city gate marquis led a few people in the direction of the city wall, and his back was also covered by darkness.
Without the sound of human voices, the city gate suddenly became silent, and even the sound of the gnats could not be heard, except for the waning moon in the sky, as if it was squinting because of sleepiness, quietly looking down on them.
Han Zhong waited for a long time, but he never saw the city gate marquis come back, standing in the darkness and silent for a while, he felt more and more that the beating sound of his heart was getting faster.
He didn't know why he was so nervous, maybe the city gate marquis went upstairs to teach the lazy soldiers a lesson, or maybe there was a problem with the machine and was repairing?
The latest chapter is in ? on the update
But years of experience in surviving blood and fire made him not wait blindly, but whispered to everyone: "Weapons." ”
No one answered, but with the sound of the metal unsheathed, the dozens of people accompanying him had already drawn their weapons from the pile of meat, and a sword light burst out in the moonlight.
But before Han Zhong led people to kill the city tower, countless sounds of machines had already sounded on the city, the city gate was still closed, and the crossbow machine had been wound!
The flames suddenly burst into flames, and the lit torches and braziers were like suns, with a compelling light, as if they were going to illuminate all of them so that they could not open their eyes.
At the head of the city, there was the face of the Marquis of the city gate, but at this moment he was no longer as friendly as he was just now, and there was a cold color in his squinted eyes.
"Lord Zhou's plan to scare the grass and the snake has worked, and all these things hidden under the water have come out. "The Marquis of the City Gate, Huang Yao said.
Standing beside him was Qin Ke, who had been watching from the city tower, he had restrained all his breath from the beginning, but his eyes never deviated from below.
His identity is no longer a secret in Jianye City, and even too many people have seen his face, so naturally it is impossible for him to pretend to be a soldier at the city gate.
However, tonight's business was not to engage in some tricks, the Bodhisattva Sword had already been revealed in his hand, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to go down and drink human blood.
"I just don't know if there are a few other places that guarantee that there will be no problems. Qin Ke's expression was a little melancholy.
Huang Yao was much more confident than him, and said with a hearty smile: "Don't worry, Lord Zhou has no last resort, then the other few arrangements are not only the masters of the school affairs, but also Lei Jun, although those old soldiers seem to have been injured, I dare to say that even the enemy who is ten times their size may not be able to break through." ”
Qin Ke nodded, recalling the demeanor of those old soldiers he saw when he first came to Jianye, and knew that Huang Yao was not blind and arrogant.
These veterans all came down from the most brutal battlefield of the year, and although they had been raised in the peaceful city of Jianye City for many years, they always had a sharp aura on their bodies, like a sword that was constantly sharpened, and as time went by, not only would it not be dull, but it would become more and more terrifying.
When Han Zhong sensed that something was wrong, it was already too late to escape, although the night was still deep and gentle, with a bit of mystery, it could no longer be their shelter, on the contrary, they could see countless shadows approaching, forming a team, forming a human wall, forming a ...... Military formation.
Tonight, ambushes were laid at every city gate, some of these ambushes were the elite of Jianye's first city defense composed of veterans, the Lei army, and the others were the teams that the school government had been continuously transferring from the army these days.
Who would have thought that the real purpose of Zhou Gongjin's borrowing from the army was not to search for spies in the city, but to use it in places like the city gate to guard the pass?
In fact, from the beginning, this seemingly huge search and arrest operation was just a layer of skin to cover up the truth, but it was precisely because of the continuous expansion of this search that Han Zhong and the others finally began to panic because of fear, and finally took the risk and decided to go out of the city to hide.
But in the end, they just fell into the trap that Zhou Gongjin and Shen Dao carefully designed for them.
Han Zhong, who understood everything, regretted it a little, but he could only grit his teeth, looked at the soldiers who were constantly surrounding the city gate, and hissed: "Follow me to the city tower!"
Those who followed him were dead soldiers, so naturally there would be no opposition, and everyone could see that at this time, they had been completely exposed in Jianye, and they could only seize the city gate as quickly as possible and escape from Jianye.
Even if there is little hope, who can pass up even the slightest opportunity?
Huang Yao, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at those who attacked the city like moths to the fire with a disdainful expression, and it could be seen that Han Zhong, who was the leader, had a good cultivation, at least it was already the third realm, and if he went further, he might be a little grandmaster.
But how did he know that right next to him, there was a real little grandmaster?
"I went first, and even though they couldn't run, there were still some people who got hurt. Qin Ke said to Huang Yao, in fact, he was also a little disappointed.
The two masters he saw at Hu's house that day, a swordsman and an archer, did not appear, I don't know if they were at other city gates, or if they had already left Jianye to avoid the limelight.
However, he didn't mean to be passive and slack off, and with a slight shock of his Bodhisattva sword, the whole person had already fallen high along the wall of the city tower!
