Zhang Wu's heart was in his throat. He thought that two patrolling lieutenants had discovered his hiding place.
Zhang Wu was already ready to pull out his dagger, but found that the two captains had actually gotten into the grass.
What expansion is this?
Zhang Wu suppressed his surprise and continued to lie down in the grass.
The two guys dressed as captains also squatted in the grass, but they were still some distance away from Zhang Wu.
He was sure that the two officers dressed as captains had not noticed him. Zhang Wu relaxed his body and raised his ears to listen.
I heard the two men say in lowered voices: "I didn't expect there were so many people in this den of thieves!"
Another person said: "I thought I could sneak into the party today, but I couldn't even get in through the backyard door!"
"I am not willing to give in! Now we are only one wall away from the dog thief. Today, I will risk my life to rush in!"
"Fifth brother, don't be impulsive! Even if you risk your life, you won't be able to kill that thief! Let's go out first!"
One of them became more and more excited, and Zhang Wu finally understood that these two people should also be traveling together?
From their accents, they seem to be from Bianzhou. Could they be sergeants of the Bianzhou Army?
Are you here to assassinate Xu Shuji?
It seems that Xu Shuji is not completely stupid. He also knows that he is unpopular and has bribed a large number of dead soldiers to guard him day and night.
At night, when the guards were heavily guarded, Zhang Wu decided to change his plan.
Although Zhang Wu has a high agility attribute, it is not impossible to defeat one against a hundred.
After hearing the conversation between the two, a new plan poured into Zhang Wu's mind.
The two people who were also hiding in the grass finally discussed the result. They walked to a low wall again and climbed out of the wall unwillingly.
Zhang Wu followed closely behind the two of them. When they climbed over the wall, Zhang Wu immediately followed them.
"Fifth brother, don't be discouraged, there will always be a chance next time!"
"Third brother, next time and next time! When will we have the chance?"
"Silence! You don't want your life! If you are caught by the street patrol, it will affect other brothers in the camp!"
When the two of them walked into an alley, Zhang Wu quickly approached him and put his dagger against the back of the "fifth brother" among them.
Zhang Wu said in the third brother's ear:
"Be silent and follow me!"
As soon as the third brother touched the handle of the knife, Zhang Wu's dagger quickly pierced the back of his hand.
"Third brother!"
Zhang Wu raised his hand again and stabbed the "fifth brother" in the back with the handle of the dagger.
This move was learned by Zhang Wu from real-life short-weapons fighting skills. The handle of the knife hit the densest nerve area on the opponent's back. He curled up in severe pain and was about to fall down after staggering.
But Zhang Wu held the opponent's arm with his hand and directly controlled the opponent's vital points.
However, this fifth brother was also a good man. He was hit so hard that he could not even scream.
"If you don't want him to die, just follow me!"
Seeing his brother being controlled by Zhang Wu, "Third Brother" could only give up the idea of resisting.
The two followed Zhang Wu to an abandoned thatched house.
Zhang Wu looked at the angry faces of the two people and said indifferently: "You are also going for Xu Shuji?"
The two were stunned for a moment, seeing Zhang Wu dressed in black, and then thought of his skills.
The older third brother asked: "Were you also in the Jiedushi Mansion just now?"
Zhang Wu smiled slightly and said: "Grass."
The fifth brother immediately said: "Are you going to assassinate Xu Shuji?"
The third brother coughed and wanted to stop his brother from talking.
But the fifth brother immediately said: "Third brother! With this hero's skill, he would have killed us long ago!"
"Since he also went to kill Xu Shuji, then everyone is on the same side!"
Zhang Wu nodded secretly, he was indeed an upright man!
The other party said frankly: "My surname is Fan, and I am the fifth in rank. Everyone in the army calls me Fan Wu."
Seeing his companion announcing his name so quickly, the older third brother sighed and said, "I am his third brother, Fan San of Bianzhou Army."
Zhang Wu asked: "You two are soldiers from Bianzhou, why did you sneak into the Jiedu envoy's house?"
It was Fan Wu who said first: "We want to catch the thief Xu Shuji and have him send troops quickly!"
Now Zhang Wu was confused. He was very sure that these two people were aborigines and not players. Why did they risk their lives to kidnap Xu Shuji and force him to send troops?
Fan Wu said: "We are all from Bianzhou. When the puppet Yan army arrived, Xu Shuji, a thieves, led the army to Pengcheng without even fighting."
"Thirteen members of my parents' family, including my third sister-in-law and underage nephew, were all killed by the puppet army!"
"But Xu Shuji is hiding in Pengcheng, drinking and having fun every day. He has no intention of returning to Bianzhou for revenge!"
Fan Wu said firmly: "I just want to go back to Bianzhou to take revenge!"
Zhang Wu suddenly realized.
The puppet Yan army's discipline was ruined and massacres were carried out wherever they went.
Bianzhou is an important water transportation route and was originally an extremely wealthy place. However, since it was occupied by the puppet Yan, the population has dropped by 90%.
Only then did Zhang Wu remember that the pseudo-Yan general who captured Bianzhou and robbed the city in Bianzhou was none other than Yin Ziqi who was besieging Suiyang now!
Yin Ziqi was also a ruthless guy. After the city of Bianzhou was destroyed, he not only allowed the soldiers to rob.
They also massacred all the families in Bianzhou City who were related to the Tang army.
Zhang Wu asked: "In the Bianzhou army, are there many soldiers like you who want to fight back to Bianzhou?"
Fan San said: "A lot! Why not a lot? As long as you are an ordinary soldier, who doesn't have a blood feud with you!"
"Only those who are officials are reluctant to part with Pengcheng's wealth!"
Only then did Zhang Wu realize that he had also made a mistake.
When the Bianzhou Army occupied Pengcheng, those who could buy and sell by force on the streets, and those who could drink and have fun in the Jiedushi Mansion were all middle- and high-level officers of the Bianzhou Army.
The life of ordinary soldiers in Pengcheng was even more miserable than in Bianzhou.
In Bianzhou, you are a native of your hometown, but in Pengcheng, you are living in a foreign land.
Those officers could still raid the people, but ordinary soldiers were in dire straits.
Xu Shuji and the officers also knew that they were unpopular. In order to prevent the soldiers from mutiny, Xu Shuji's "genius" divided the Bianzhou Army into five battalions and stationed them in five places in Pengcheng.
Xu Shuji also prohibited ordinary soldiers from entering and leaving the military camp at will, which was equivalent to imprisoning them in the military camp.
Fan San and Fan Wu were locked up in the military camp all day, and their daily food money was embezzled by the people in the kitchen.
The soldiers did not have enough to eat every meal, and they had to be dragged by officers for drills.
There are many soldiers like Fan San and Fan Wu who want to return to Bianzhou.
Zhang Wu asked: "How many brothers are there in your camp? Can you recruit one or two hundred people to fight with you?"
Fan San and Fan Wu looked at each other and said, "It's no problem to recruit one or two hundred people! But our weapons have been confiscated, and we can't enter the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion!"
Zhang Wu said confidently: "I just need you to pull people to the door of Jiedushi. Can you do it?"
Fan San and Fan Wu immediately said: "Of course!"
Zhang Wu said: "In addition, it was the puppet Yan general Yin Ziqi who massacred Bianzhou, and he is now besieging Suiyang."
"The people of Suiyang will be brutally murdered like your parents and family. Are you willing to save Suiyang?"
Fan San and Fan Wu immediately said: "Of course I am willing! Brothers are not afraid of risking their lives, let alone fighting the rebels!"
Zhang Wu shook his head and said: "Don't go all out. At noon, bring your brothers from the camp to gather at the gate of Jiedushi."
"Waiting for my signal, you will attack the gate of Jiedu Envoy's Mansion. Can you do that?"
"able!"
After saying this, Zhang Wu turned and left, leaving only the two brothers looking at each other.
Fan Wu then asked: "Brother, isn't this guy one of Xu Shuji's people? How about we go out to the camp and eat the whole pot?"
Fan San sighed and said: "You are so talented, now you regret it? I just told you not to talk nonsense!"
"That's all!"
"With that man's skill, just transporting us to the Jiedu Envoy's Palace would be a great achievement. Why would he let us go back to the camp?"
"Listening to what he said, he seems to want us to save Suiyang."
Fan Wu asked: "What's wrong with Suiyang? Anyway, my family is gone, so I want to kill Yan Thief!"
Fan San nodded and said: "Good brother! Kill the Yan thief!"
"We responded quickly and gathered our brothers to ambush on the street of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion."
"If something goes wrong, escape from Pengcheng immediately!"
After the two brothers finished their discussion, they each returned to the military camp.
Xu Shuji, who had been hungover all night, sat up and washed himself under the service of his concubine Xina Na after three o'clock in the morning.
Although he was a guest in Pengcheng, the life of this Bianzhou Jiedu envoy was still luxurious.
After wiping his face with silk, Xu Shuji said to the butler: "Hurry up and give out yesterday's reward."
The rewards for the soldiers who guarded Xu Shuji's death were paid out every day. The rewards for these elites were very generous, so they were willing to sacrifice their lives for Xu Shuji.
The steward said: "Jie Shuai, the reward has been distributed, and the soldiers have all thanked Jieshuai!"
Xu Shuji nodded. It is difficult to be an official in these troubled times!
Most of the money Xu Shuji collected in Pengcheng was rewarded to the group of bodyguards around him.
But if it weren't for these bodyguards, Xu Shuji would have died countless times.
"Where's breakfast?" Xu Shuji's stomach growled, and he smelled of alcohol again and asked the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said with a grimace: "Jie Shuai, I don't know what happened this morning. There was a fire in the kitchen."
Xu Shuji's expression changed, and the housekeeper immediately said: "The fire is not big and has been put out, but it is too late for breakfast, so I sent someone to buy it outside. I will be back soon after calculating the time."
Xu Shuji's face improved a little, and he ordered again: "Is it from Tianxianglou? I can't get used to other breakfasts."
"Don't worry, Jieshuai! It's the breakfast from Tianxianglou!"
At this time, two servants walked in, and behind them was a hunched restaurant waiter, holding a wooden food box in his hand.
The faint aroma of food came out of the food box. Just when Xu Shuji moved his index finger, the food box in the waiter's hand suddenly hit the butler's head.
And in the hand of the guy carrying the food box, a dagger filled with cold light suddenly appeared!
Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuang Xueming.
The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star.
Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace behind in a thousand miles!
