At night, Suzhou guards the whole city has a curfew. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The streets were solemn, except for the neat footsteps of soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the whimpering of the wind as it swept across the walls.

There was also wind in the streets, which swept up the dust and ran against the feet of the troops who passed by the gates.

Jing Chuan put his eyes on the crack in the door and peeked outside.

Chen Maiyi stood behind him with an oil lamp in his hand: "Is my brother really going?"

Jing Chuan looked at it for a while, turned back to the house and sat down, and said, "This matter is related to the safety of the country, if there is really a rebellion, we people will have a hard time." ”

Chen Mai nodded, pondered for a long time, and said, "What my brother said is true." It's just that Suzhou Wei is now on guard everywhere, and the streets are full of troops, and even a bird can be seen flying by, let alone people. The commanding envoy's mansion must be more closely guarded, and my brother wants to go to find out the news, please think twice. ”

Jing Chuan picked up the wine on the table, poured himself a bowl, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Don't worry, brother, it's okay, I'll be back soon." ”

Chen Maiyi walked to the wall, took off Jing Chuan's knife, and handed it to Jing Chuan: "Brother, be careful!"

Jing Chuan said: "I didn't need a knife, I brought a dagger, and I went." He gently opened the door and slipped out, disappearing into the night.

It is not easy to navigate the heavily guarded streets of Suzhou. Jing Chuan, like a black cat, silently avoided the patrolling troops, flashed through the street, and hurried in the shadows.

When he was about to arrive at the commander's mansion, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the street, Jing Chuan hid in a small alley, leaned against the wall and looked outside, only to see a horse team rushing towards the mansion, a soldier walked in front of the horse fast, and shouted loudly to the soldiers patrolling the road: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Jing Chuan secretly glanced out, and saw that in front of the horse team was a young man in armor, judging from his face, he was only in his twenties.

Jing Chuan secretly thought: Could this be Ma Dai of Jiayuguan?

Jing Chuan remembered again: Ding Man and Ma Dai who died under his knife were sworn brothers, and Ding Man died, Ma Dai must have known. So Ma Dai came to Suzhou Wei this time, is it to find him or is it related to this rebellion?

Ma Dai came to Suzhou late at night, although he was only a small commander of Jiayuguan, but he seemed to have a very high status, and even the soldiers guarding the city had to let him, maybe it was related to his father. Could it be that Ma Weiyong also participated in this rebellion?

Jing Chuan couldn't figure it out: Ma Weiyong is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the Jinyi Guard is under his control, so what happened to the few Jinyi Guards who **** went to Kunlun Mountain? Jinyi Wei chased and killed the messenger who sent the rebellion, obviously trying to stop this rebellion.

Things got complicated, and Jing Chuan couldn't figure it out for a while, so he decided to go in and take a look.

Jing Chuan disappeared into the darkness.

The commander's mansion was surrounded by soldiers, all lit torches, and even if they had the skill of flying over the wall, they could not fly in.

Jing Chuan watched from a distance for a while, and was worried about how to get in, but saw a group of soldiers come out of the mansion and say, "It's a shift change!"

On the street in front of the Commander's Mansion, a group of men and horses were gathering, apparently preparing to replace the group that had just come out.

Jing Chuan saw a soldier walking out of an alley while wearing a belt, he whistled secretly, and when the soldier heard it, he immediately took out his knife vigilantly and walked slowly towards Jing Chuan.

As soon as the soldier entered the alley, he was stunned by Jing Chuan, who was hiding in the shadows. Jing Chuan took out a knife and planned to kill him, otherwise this person would definitely report it the next day, and it would be exposed, and it would be difficult to get out of the city at that time. Jing Chuan put the dagger on his neck, but did not cut it, he thought about it, took out a bottle from his body, and shook out a pill from it, which was a drug that could make people unconscious for six hours. After Jing Chuan asked him to take it, he took off the soldier's armor, took off his underwear, tied him up, and gaged him, and then hurriedly changed into that set of armor.

The team has been assembled, and there is only one person missing, and the people outside shouted: "Why is there one person missing, where is it going!"

Jing Chuan changed his clothes, pretended to have just finished untying his hands, and trotted over to the team while tying his belt, saying, "It's coming!"

"Why did you go?" said a leader at the front of the group.

Jing Chuan walked to the back of the line and stood up, saying, "My stomach was uncomfortable just now, so I went to relieve myself!"

The leader continued to walk towards him, and Jing Chuan thought to himself: "Oh no, he doesn't know me, he must show flaws!"

When he was about to walk in front of him, the group of men and horses in front of the mansion had already come over and called, "Why are you so slow!

The leader did not continue to pursue Jing Chuan, hurriedly returned to the front of the team, and led the team towards the mansion, Jing Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The team entered the mansion, and Jing Chuan walked behind the team, secretly observing the surrounding situation. The official mansion in the frontier is not as luxurious as near the Jingshi, but it has thick and strong walls, a tight structure, and strict guards, which has become a tight defense system, and it is not easy to enter and exit.

The procession stopped in the middle of a courtyard. Jing Chuan glanced ahead, and saw that there was a passage in the middle of the courtyard leading inside, and at the end of the passage was a large brightly lit house. There were heavy guards on both sides of the passage and in front of the house, Jing Chuan thought: Han Yannian, Wei Guozhong and the others must be in that room, but it is not so easy to get close to that room.

Twenty people, divided into four squads, each responsible for patrolling a corner of the mansion back and forth. Jing Chuan followed behind the team, thinking of a way to leave the team, but if he left the patrol team for too long, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

The route of the patrol was from the side of the main entrance to the front of the room in the middle of the mansion, and so on. The mansion is huge, and it takes almost a stick of incense to patrol back and forth in one corner. After Jing Chuan patrolled back and forth with the team twice, he knew the surrounding environment well, so when the team was approaching the house, he wanted to go to the hut under the pretext of stomach discomfort, and a soldier said: "Why do you have so many things? Don't you know that this is commanding the mansion of the Lord? If you let the higher authorities know, you will not be able to eat and go around!"

Jing Chuan said: "Brothers, help me more, I ate something yesterday and had a bad stomach, it's really not good!"

The soldiers said, "Who will help you? If you want to go, you can go, and it has nothing to do with us!"

When Jing Chuan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of it alone!"

"Go, go, go, come back!"

"Okay, good, right back!"

Jing Chuan left the group, and when they were far away, he walked towards the room.

Jing Chuan did not dare to approach, because there were many soldiers in front of the house, and if he rushed over, he would inevitably attract attention, so he hid in the shadow under a tree in the corner of the wall to observe.

The door of the house was closed, and I couldn't hear the sound inside, nor did I know what was going on inside. Jing Chuan knew that the team that had just passed would come back soon, and if he didn't go out by then, he would inevitably be in trouble.

When he was hesitating, he only heard a quarrel in the room, the sound was very loud, it was made by a young man, Jing Chuan heard the young man say: "Lord Wei, if the matter fails, you and I will have to die!"

An old voice said, "Be quiet!"

Jing Chuan saw a young man's figure appear at the door, presumably Ma Dai, and then another figure appeared and pulled Ma Dai in.

"It seems that he is really plotting a rebellion!" Jing Chuan thought, and then thought again, "The military department Shangshu has also come to Suzhou Wei, and it seems that he is also an accomplice in this rebellion." ”

Jing Chuan was thinking about it, but he found a figure flashing under the corner of the wall in the distance, Jing Chuan quickly hid it and secretly looked over there. He found that there was not just one, but several, all dressed in night clothes, and the soldiers guarding did not notice.

They look like assassins, but who are they?

Jing Chuan's heart was full of doubts. I saw those figures stay in the corner for a while, and then quickly dispersed in all directions.

Jing Chuan felt bad, and left quickly. He hid in the shadows for a while, and when the team returned, he hurriedly returned to the group with his belt on.

After changing shifts, Jing Chuan went out of the commander's mansion with the team, and just came outside to disband into a squad and continue to patrol the streets, only to hear a sudden commotion inside the mansion.

"There are assassins!

As soon as the soldiers outside heard that there was an assassin, they all hurried to the mansion, and Jing Chuan took advantage of the chaos to break away from the team, quickly took off his armor, and secretly left.

Jing Chuan returned to Chen Maiyi's house and quickly closed the door.

Chen Mai asked, "How is it, brother?"

Jing Chuan said: "I went in, but I was heavily guarded, and I couldn't hear what was said." But now I know that it turns out that the military department Shangshu and Ma Dai of Jiayuguan are also accomplices in this rebellion, and Ma Dai's father is the commander of the imperial court Jinyiwei. ”

Chen Maiyi was shocked when she heard this, and said, "It's too bad, it seems that they have been plotting for a long time." ”

Jing Chuan poured a bowl of wine and drank it, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't rush to hand over the letter! I wanted to continue to listen, but I didn't want to return the assassin." ”

"Assassins?"

"I don't know. ”

"As soon as I left the Commander's Mansion, I found an assassin inside, presumably to assassinate Han Yannian and a few people, and now it's chaos outside. ”

"Not good!" Chen Maiyi said, "The assassins are exposed, the Suzhou Guards will prohibit them from entering and leaving, and the officers and soldiers will come from house to house to search!"

Jing Chuan nodded and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, can my brother find a way to take me and Zhang Jian out of the city?"

"It's a bit difficult to get out of the city now, so my brother let me think about it. ”

Chen Mai walked back and forth in the room, clapping her hands and trying to figure out a way. After a while, he said, "Brother, that's all there is to it now, I know an errand boy in the barracks, and tomorrow I will find a way to find him for help." ”

Jing Chuan asked, "Is that person reliable?"

Chen Mai said: "I don't need to rely on him, I have my own way to use him." ”

"That's great!"

Chen Mai said: "Brother, this time I will leave Suzhou Wei with you!"

"You're not staying in Suzhou anymore?"

Chen Mai smiled: "I don't want to stay, I have to go back to my hometown." ”

As soon as Jing Chuan heard that Chen Mai was going back to his hometown, he said: "Brother, your enemy is still looking for you, if you go back, there will be danger!"

Chen Mai said: "There are still some things to do, I have to go back, brother, please rest assured, I am no longer the Chen Mai I was back then, and I will be fine!"

Jing Chuan thought about it for a while, and then said, "Okay brother, be careful in everything!." I want to entrust you with one more thing. ”

"Brother, please speak. ”

Jing Chuan glanced at Zhang Jian who was lying on the bed and said, "Brother, can you help me bring this child to my hometown in Shanxi, and I have to go to Feiyun Town." ”

Chen Mai said: "Brother, don't worry, wrap it up on me." It's just that the Western Regions are in danger now, why does my brother still want to go to Feiyun Town?"

Jing Chuan said: "Don't worry, brother, I still have to go to see my third brother." ”
