Chapter 395: Doubtful and Clueless
In the dead of night, tired and tired, Xiao Pu didn't dare to sleep.
He hadn't even changed his clothes.
"After entering Orange Island City, there were generals from the garrison barracks escorting them all the way north to the capital, and with their ears and eyes, they naturally knew this information. If they don't do it at this time, they won't have another chance. How can the Turks still be patient?"
Xiao Pu paced in the room, thinking carefully.
The ancients said: If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and if there is not a ghost, there will be a knife.
"Nourish...... I don't believe that you can watch the Xian Matt envoy enter the city of Orange State!" In his opinion, ghosts and gods are just some false things, and they can't be true, but if you want to say that the Turks are doing some "ghosts" behind their backs, he believes in them for thousands of people.
I was wondering what this "ghost" would be, but I heard the barking of dogs suddenly sounding three or four miles away in the northwest corner.
On the ear power or nose spirit, people are far inferior to dogs, so the government office, wealthy households, large merchants, post inns will raise dogs to watch the door, commonly known as "watchdogs". The guards may take a nap, but the watchdog is almost always on the sidelines, waking up at the slightest disturbance.
The prince of Xian Ma Guo settled in the official post, and martial law had already been imposed for several miles around, and almost every street corner and alley had people from the official office on duty at night. Of course, there are also watchdogs in the houses that have been requisitioned a few days ago.
Dozens of dogs scrambled to bark, becoming more and more manic, and naturally they noticed the big movement. It is important to know that dogs naturally have a special sense of murder.
The barking of dogs had already alarmed the soldiers on duty outside the post house, and they were all holding torches, knives and guns, and they were starting.
"He Baifu, Di Baifu, Zhou Yatou, you take people to the northeast corner to have a look, and see the thieves and the brothers guarding there first surround and drag them, and set off fireworks as a number. Qin Baifu, Lu Baifu, your people saw the fireworks and hurried over to respond! Lin Jinzhong, Tan Dang, Shi Xiaokang, Fang Yuanshan, the four of you led people to guard the four sides of the post house, and if the envoy had any mistakes, bring your heads to see you!"
Several centurs and yamen listened to Sun Zhengtai's words in unison, and each went with a subordinate order.
Upstairs, Xiao Pu stood against the railing, looking at the swaying torches and swaying figures in the courtyard, with a freehand smile on his face.
"Besides, how much can you endure, isn't this still unbearable?"
......
Half of the elite hands of the Nine Palaces were hidden inside and outside Ruozhou City at this time, and they were ready to be sent by Zhang Suiguang at any time. And the remaining half, except for the mission outside, almost the rest were brought back to Danyang City by bodhichitta.
In contrast, the Salt Gang is Zhang Suiguang's biggest reliance, and it is the foundation for him to achieve his "grand cause", and the headquarters of the Salt Gang is in Danyang City. On this eventful time, if there is no trustworthy person guarding that family business, how can he rest assured that he will stay in Ruozhou and Hanzhou for so long?
And among the nine halls, he trusts the most is naturally the bodhicitta that doesn't talk much, has high martial arts, and is ruthless.
Therefore, it can be said that the more than 300 people who came out to "do things" this time were all peripheral hands of the Nine Palaces. With the status of the two of them in the temple, only the peripheral hands could bring out so much at one time.
More than 300 people acted, and it was impossible to hide people's eyes and ears. Since he couldn't kill Xiao Pu secretly, he simply rushed over generously, and with the strength of his fast riding feet, he might be able to surprise him and make a quick decision.
That's what Qu Bu Wai and Break Worry thought and did, and at this moment, they were driving their horses forward, leading a group of people galloping from the northwest corner.
With the disadvantage of being outnumbered, it is very easy to be surrounded and annihilated if they are separated, and both of them were soldiers when they were in the country, so this simple truth is naturally understood. Therefore, more than 300 people dressed in black and riding black horses gathered in one place, almost invisible and difficult to distinguish in the dark night. However, although the horse's hooves are wrapped, the sound of stepping on the ground is still like a drum, which can be heard not only by chickens and dogs, but also by those who are shallow in their dreams. Looking at it this way, the deliberate preparation of the Nine Palaces seems to be a bit covered.
Around a corner, the two teams finally collided!
"Oh, there are a lot of thieves! let go of the smoke......" Before He Fucai finished speaking, a short arrow pierced his throat, and he died immediately.
Fortunately, the herald had already understood what he meant, and hurriedly lit the fire and let the cigarette out. In such a situation, even if He Fucai didn't say a word from beginning to end, he would naturally set off fireworks.
The purpose of the cigarette is to transmit information and to mark the location. Qin Guangen and Lu Zhaoyou saw that the smoke only rose more than 400 zhang away, their hearts tightened, and they led more than 400 of their subordinates to hurry over.
", I don't know how many thieves there are!"
Although Qin and Lu didn't dare to delay, they felt a little furious in their hearts, after all, if they dared to attack and kill the Xian Matt Mission, the other party would definitely be not small.
"We have about 2,000 people, can we withstand it?"
......
"Hold on, fuck me, our men are coming soon!" Di Xin shouted at the top of his voice.
The city defense army is different from the garrison army, and it is also different from the outpost garrison, and its responsibility is to guard the city pass and supervise the security of the city. In recent years, there has often been friction between Pinan and the Turkic country, but there has been no war, and Orange State can be described as a peaceful place.
Jiang Zuo is like this, not to mention ordinary pawns.
More than 400 people met the Nine Palaces head-on, but they hit the stone like an egg, and soon collapsed. Di Gengxin remembered Sun Zhengtai's order, but the enemy's momentum was too strong, and he was rushed before the command could set up a formation in front of the command, and he had to hold the big knife in a hurry.
"Where did the killing star come from? Everyone is as ruthless as a demon, killing people like cutting melons and chopping vegetables!" In the blink of an eye, a large number of city guards had fallen, and Di Gengxin's head was already dripping with beads of sweat.
Although he had never gone into battle to kill the enemy, he also understood the truth that (*) military orders are like mountains. He has also read a copy of the military plan of General Chunan's Mansion, and the end paragraph is to the effect that: If the envoy of Xian Ma is wrong, the local general Zuo Yilu will be convicted and punished severely and severely; those who flee from the battle and steal the enemy will not be pardoned and should not be compensated; and those who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and those who cooperate with the outside world will be punished by the three clans.
Dahua has always treated the families of soldiers who died in battle, and even if ordinary soldiers are recognized as killed in battle, their parents, wives and children can also be tax-exempt for life. For ordinary people, that's a lot of money!
On the one hand, there are strict military law orders, and on the other hand, there are the rewards of the imperial court and the livelihood of their dependents.
"Kill, kill, kill ......" was already panicked, and the soldiers had to shout loudly to strengthen their prestige.
Although there are torches lit in the dark night, it is difficult to see clearly. Qu Bu screamed, cut off and worried to listen to the shouts and killings around him getting louder and louder, and estimated that he had been ambushed, and secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good. It's just that the matter has come to this point, how can there be a way out?
Since the two of them brought out these people from the Nine Palaces, they have no way back.
"Rush over and kill Envoy Xian Ma!" was the only thought left in the minds of the two.
The people of the Nine Temples are the messengers of hell, they like to be quiet and do not like to make trouble, and the same is true for murder. In the face of louder and louder shouts, these black-clothed dead men held the werewolf sword and human hook in their hands tighter, danced faster, and harvested human lives faster and faster.
