Chapter 456: Assassination (II)
Yirong also lived a long time, but in fact, he didn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes. The two of them eventually accepted the suggestion and went their separate ways.
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of the black-clothed girl's mouth, and she walked quickly down the city tower and went straight to the camp in the north of the city. When they went north, they passed through Dingzhou. At that time, she had already guessed that these two monks were going to help the Khitan attack the Song Dynasty. Therefore, she kept in mind some of the information she had heard along the way.
She didn't lie to Yirong and Kuan, General Peng, the guard general of Dingzhou, was indeed conscientious, and together with the war, he lived in the barracks. But she knows Yiku's character, suspicious and cunning. The more he told him the truth, the more he refused to believe it. She just wants to take advantage of this and make them flutter!
Although the camp in the north of the city is a military camp, it is in the city after all, and the guards are much lax. Especially in recent days, the main force of the Liao army has moved south, and the Liao army in the outer cities of the city is only bluffing and will not take the initiative to attack. Song Jun's nerves were rarely relaxed, and he would naturally be even more relaxed in guarding the sentry.
The girl in black didn't have much effort, and she entered the camp. Although she had never entered the barracks, she could guess that the general's tent must be the largest tent in the middle.
It was past midnight at this time, and the whole camp was pitch black except for the brazier burning at the intersection, and there was no light at all. The girl cautiously avoided the patrol, touched the tent, and reached out to lift the door of the tent to a corner.
There was a regular snoring sound from inside the tent. The girl couldn't help but laugh secretly, this General Peng didn't know that his life was in danger, and he could sleep so soundly.
She walked into the tent and sat down on a chair next to the table. Her body was extremely light, and her martial arts skills were also very high, so that after doing these movements, she didn't make a single sound, let alone wake up the sleeping general.
The girl knew that time was running out and that she could not wait for the general to wake up, so she had to tap the dagger in her hand lightly on the table a few times.
General Peng's name is Peng Guangzu, and he is also a vigilant person. As soon as he heard the sound of the dagger striking, he immediately woke up, and before he saw the man sitting in the tent, his hand had already touched the hilt of the sword beside the bed.
Holding the hilt of the sword, he calmed down slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What person!"
The girl said softly: "General Peng, don't be nervous, if I want to kill you, you are already on Huangquan Road at this moment!"
Peng Guangzu had already broken out in a cold sweat at this time. The woman in front of her didn't know how long she had been sitting in her tent, and she didn't notice it at all. If the other party really has bad intentions, he has no power to fight back at all.
Peng Guangzu retracted his mind and asked again: "Who are you, what are you going to do?"
The girl said, "I'm here to kill you!"
Peng Guangzu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, fortunately he couldn't see his expression in the dark, otherwise he could see that his face was already as pale as earth, and his lips began to turn white.
The girl continued, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. But I don't kill you, there are others who will kill you. The Liao army outside the city was led by Xiao Ting, the head of the Heavenly Wolf Faction. He was anxious to make meritorious contributions, so he came up with such an idea and sent martial arts masters into the city to assassinate the guards. It's just that the garrison in your city is useless, and there is no way to warn in time!"
Peng Guangzu turned the girl's words in his mind, and was immediately taken aback, secretly thinking, how could the Liao army guard be Xiao Ting? I heard that this Xiao Ting is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and his martial arts are good, but he does not have much experience in commanding troops. How can you let him lead the troops? What about Empress Dowager Xiao? What about Xiao Tzu Rin?
He still didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xiao would dare to risk being cut off by him, and resolutely lead the army south. The girl looked a little anxious, and said directly: "General Peng, Empress Dowager Xiao has already led the army south. If you can take the opportunity to fight at this time, you will definitely be able to repel the Liao army outside the city!"
Peng Guangzu has not yet recovered from the shocking news she provided. Empress Dowager Xiao led her troops south? This crazy woman actually dared to do this! Peng Guangzu couldn't believe that the famous Empress Dowager Xiao would actually make such a stupid move.
After thinking about it, since this woman in front of me was here to assassinate her, how could she reveal such important news? She wants me to lead my troops out of the city, will it be a trap? It must be! The Liao army knows that it is impossible to break the city if they want to storm it, so they want to lure me out of the city!
Thinking of this, Peng Guangzu didn't believe the girl's words at all. He said in a deep voice: "How could the girl be so kind and actually come to remind the official?"
The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Because...... I am Chen Ao, the great general of the Great Song Dynasty...... Friends ......"
Peng Guangzu sneered inwardly, more convinced of his suspicions. Who is Chen Ao? Also a forward general, this woman is clearly talking nonsense. It's whimsical to want to deceive General Ben!
Peng Guangzu had an idea, and simply made a plan, and said: "What the girl said is very true, I will order all the soldiers and horses and attack the Liao camp at night!"
The girl stood up and said, "In that case, I'll go!"
Peng Guangzu pretended to ask: "Can the girl tell this official your high surname, and after retreating from the enemy, you can also show your merits to the imperial court!"
The girl stood at the door, turned her head, sighed lightly, and said, "My name is Xuanning, if you see General Chen, please ...... Forget it, don't tell him......" he said, turning and rushing into the night.
Peng Guangzu didn't notice the girl's abnormality, and he didn't take her words to heart at all. He only secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized that his back shirt was soaked. It was too dangerous just now, and this girl named Xuan He was able to touch the barracks, just like a ghost. Hmph, she must know that my Dingzhou garrison is as solid as a rock. Even if he assassinated General Ben, he might not be able to break the city, so he came up with such a move. Hmph, it's a pity that General Ben is not a vegetarian either, and he can see through your little tricks at a glance!
Peng Guangzu was complacent about his wit, thought for a while, immediately got up and dressed, and shouted loudly to the guards.
Xuan Ning quietly slipped out of the barracks, stood on a remote street, looked at the southern sky, and thought to himself, Chen Ao, I can only help you get here, I hope this war ends as soon as possible, and you can be safe......
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a noise from the direction of the camp, and it seemed that there was the sound of a large army moving. Although Xuan Ning is not proficient in the army, he also knows that if he wants to sneak attack, he must not make too much noise in the first place. And this Peng Guangzu, why is he so confused?
Soon after, a troop of cavalry galloped through the streets, chanting incessantly: "Martial law in the city! Arrest the Assassins! Arrest the ......Assassins in the whole city!"
Xuanning couldn't help but be stunned, stunned, not knowing why. It turned out that Peng Guangzu pretended to agree to Xuanning, just to trick her into leaving, in case his life was threatened. As soon as Xuanning left, he immediately sent people to search for Xuanning throughout the city.
Xuan Ning couldn't cry or laugh, and secretly thought, this confused general!
She didn't dare to stay longer, and hurried to the predetermined place. When I arrived at the gate of an abandoned house in the west of the city, I saw two figures, one fat and one thin, also rushing in the distance. Yirong saw Xuanning from a distance and said in surprise: "Xiao Ning'er, you are really right! The poor monk has obeyed you, and he will definitely listen to you in the future!"
Yikun snorted and didn't say anything. With his character, not speaking already means acquiescing to Yirong's words.
Yirong pointed to the flaming camp in the distance, and said, "Xiao Ning'er, you have already killed the one surnamed Peng! Seeing that they are in chaos like this, we might as well open the city gate directly and welcome General Xiao into the city!"
Xuan Ning's thoughts were chaotic and he didn't know what to do. I can't imagine that I tried my best, but no one cooperated, so that it was self-defeating. If Dingzhou is really lost, I am afraid that I will also be inescapable of culpability......
