At night, five hundred internal guard soldiers surrounded the farmyard outside the west city. The farmyard mainly had a large front and rear yard, but not many houses, only seven or eight rooms.
Pei Qiushan and his ten men are hiding here, and their carriage is still parked in the yard. According to the plan, if Yao Kaishan cannot give clues to complete the mission at noon tomorrow, they will temporarily retreat to Luoyang.
They will hide away for two or three months, wait until the limelight has passed, and then come back and think of a solution.
The men are packing their things. They have many items to pack, including many important resources that Yao Kaishan has collected in recent years.
For example, the formula and production method of Feilong Life-saving Pill and Jinchuang Hemostasis Ointment, as well as one box each of raw materials and finished products, as well as the production technology of copper movable type, the production formula and technology of high-quality rice paper, and the smelting technology of refined iron, such as
This kind of refined iron smelting technology, based on the data, would take five to ten years to figure out. They couldn't wait that long, which is why they wanted to arrest Huang Qing.
There is also the manufacturing technology of heavy trebuchets, which Yao Kaishan spent a lot of effort to obtain. Goryeo also had trebuchets, but their range was insufficient.
There are also the production techniques and samples of the Divine Arm Crossbow.
The Goryeo nation has a strong sense of crisis and is very eager to learn. Even if they cannot learn, they will try their best to steal. However, after stealing, they refuse to admit it and insist that it was their own invention. The entire nation is extremely despicable.
At this time, a scream suddenly came from outside, and Pei Qiushan was startled. It was the scream of a sentry, and he immediately realized that something had happened.
"If there is a situation, get your weapons quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, a storm of arrows shot into the house. Five of the nine men were pierced by arrows and killed on the spot.
Pei Qiushan roared, drew his knife and rushed towards the backyard, "Follow me and get out!"
The four men also followed behind with their swords drawn. As soon as they rushed into the courtyard, they were immediately surrounded by dozens of internal guards. They only resisted for a few times before being pierced by spears in the legs and fell to the ground. They were all tied up.
Pei Qiushan roared like a wild animal and struggled desperately. He was hit on the back of the head with a stick by an internal guard soldier and fainted immediately.
Several survivors were taken away by the internal guards, and the internal guards began to search the room thoroughly...
A three-thousand-stone cargo ship arrived in Huayin County. Xu Cheng was already very skilled on the big ship. He was a complete boatman. He knew how to cook, so he took the initiative to take over the cooking job. He could keep in touch with several Goryeo warriors.
But he never came into contact with Huang Qing's family.
Huang Qing's family of three were imprisoned on the second floor of the ship, and five warriors took turns guarding them. The leader was a female warrior. The warriors also knew the importance of Huang Qing, and they did not abuse the three members of their family.
The ship arrived in Huayin County to replenish water and food. According to the previous plan, they were to follow the ship to Gong County and find their home base.
Of course, there is also an opportunity to capture five Goryeo warriors in Huayin County, and then force the Goryeo warriors to take them to Gong County, but this will easily alert the enemy.
But now the plan has changed, Jingzhao has already taken action, so we can't delay it here.
According to Yao Kaishan's confession, among the five Goryeo warriors, there was a woman named Bai Chunshan. This woman was Pei Qiushan's deputy. She was the one who took the Iron Fire Thunder to Goryeo. She was the only one who knew the specific location of the Gongxian transfer station.
.
The three-thousand-stone ship slowly docked, and merchants who specialized in replenishing water and food immediately came to meet them. They were not required to disembark. Several Goryeo warriors were also very vigilant and did not allow the boatman to disembark.
At this time, a small boat passed by the big ship, and a paper ball wrapped with stones was still at Xu Cheng's feet.
Xu Cheng opened the note, looked at it, then put the note into his mouth and swallowed it.
He looked around and saw several three thousand stone cargo ships scattered around them. They seemed to be here to replenish water and food, but in fact they had surrounded the big ship he was on.
He has two tasks, one is to capture the female warrior alive, and the other is to protect Huang Qing's family of three.
It was lunch time soon. Xu Cheng broke up the stone wrapped in paper and put it into the soup pot. It was not an ordinary stone. It was a powerful drug specially used by the guards. It was colorless and odorless. It was placed in the soup pot.
good results.
These Koryo warriors liked the pork ribs and meat sauce soup he made very much and asked him to make it every day. After a while, he sent lunch into the cabin, and four Koryo warriors came in to eat, talking and laughing.
The female warrior was alone on the second floor guarding Huang Qing's family of three.
Xu Cheng rolled up from the side, and he could see the situation inside the cabin through the gap. The three members of Huang Qing's family had their hands tied behind their backs, and their mouths were blocked with rags. They would definitely be controlled when they reached the shore.
The female warrior was sitting on a chair in front of the door, looking at the family of three with indifferent eyes.
Xu Cheng quickly turned to the door, pulled out the thick wooden stick behind him, and waited patiently.
After a moment, there was a loud noise in the cabin downstairs, which was the sound of dishes falling to the ground.
The woman in the room stood up, pushed the door open and walked out shouting: "What's going on downstairs..."
Suddenly, her legs gave way and she fell limply on the stairs. Xu Cheng appeared behind her, sneered, threw away the wooden stick, dragged her into the cabin, tied her hands and feet behind her back, and gagged her mouth.
The eyes of the family of three in the cabin widened. Xu Cheng tore off the rags from their mouths. Huang Qing asked urgently: "Who is the strong man?"
Xu Cheng smiled slightly, "I am Xu Cheng, the commander of the inner guard!"
Huang Qing grinned, and tears welled up. Xu Cheng cut the ropes on the hands and feet of a family of three, and the family of three hugged each other and cried.
Xu Cheng covered the woman's head with a black bag, walked out of the cabin and waved vigorously to several ships around him. Immediately, a large group of guardsmen rushed towards the ship, scaring the boatmen to squat down.
Xu Cheng quickly shouted: "Don't hurt them!"
In the cabin, four Goryeo warriors fell to the ground, unconscious, and dishes were thrown all over the floor.
The inner guard soldiers immediately stepped forward and tied up the four of them. At this time, Xu Cheng grabbed the female warrior and walked downstairs. He handed the female warrior to the soldiers and said, "Immediately take her down for interrogation. We must rush to Gong County as soon as possible!"
"
...........
Three days later, Xu Cheng personally led dozens of internal guard soldiers to Gong County. As soon as he arrived outside the county seat, an internal guard soldier who came a day in advance to investigate came up and reported: "Inform the commander, we have found the opponent."
The lair is a house next to the city gate, and the door is locked! "
"Is anyone coming or going?"
"No one came in or out, but there were people living inside. Neighbors said they saw smoke from cooking stoves in the morning, and two other brothers were watching the front and back doors."
Xu Cheng asked again: "How big is the house?"
"About three acres!"
Xu Cheng nodded, "Let's go check it out tonight!"
According to the account given by the female warrior Bai Chunshan, there should be five people living in the courtyard, three Goryeo warriors, and a middle-aged couple in their fifties.
As long as they waited for Huang Qing's family to arrive, they would immediately set off for Penglai County, where they would board a ship to Korea.
As soon as night fell, more than thirty internal security soldiers surrounded the three-acre house, and an internal security master was on the roof to explore the situation inside the house.
After a while, the investigating soldier came back to report, and indeed found five people in the house. A middle-aged couple lived in the backyard, and three samurai lived in the front yard. No coercion was seen, and the middle-aged couple were very free.
The bottom line of this middle-aged couple has been found. The man's surname is Ding. He is from Bashu. He is good at finding copper and iron ore, but he is not an official craftsman. He searched for ore for businessmen in Bashu and found several small iron ore mines, which is quite interesting.
Fame.
The Goryeo Kingdom asked him to go to Goryeo to look for iron ore at a high price of two hundred guang per month. This was understandable. He was a private prospector. The Yong Dynasty did not declare war on Goryeo. It was reasonable and legal for him to want Goryeo to make money, but now they have
No chance.
Xu Cheng waved his hand, and more than thirty internal guards climbed over the high wall and rushed into the house.
