Yingzhou, located in the center of Kyushu in northwest China, is the central hub of the entire northwest, with relatively prosperous politics and economy.
At this time, in the jungle in the southern suburbs, which was only five miles away from Yingzhou City, a group of people was marching slowly. The scarred man at the head took the dry food handed over by his subordinates, picked the largest piece of cake and passed it to Tang Ji.
: "Mr. Tang, let's have something to eat. It's been a hard journey. I told you to ride in a carriage. I feel pain in my butt after riding this horse for a long time."
"Master Fang, this is the seventeenth time you have said it, how can I be so delicate!" Tang Ji reached out to take the cake and replied with a faint smile.
Along the way, only the two days after leaving Kyoto City were the most painful. I almost had blisters on my buttocks, but once I got used to it, it felt nothing. But having said that, it should normally take three days to walk from Black Dragon Village to Yingzhou City, but this group of people
The bandit had to take a shortcut, and although he did arrive a day early, the rugged mountain road made him feel very uncomfortable.
However, he complained twice in his heart, and then started to eat dry food.
Not long after, before everyone had finished their breakfast, Fang Wei raised his hand and pointed in the distance: "Look, Yingzhou City is ahead!"
Immediately, Tang Ji looked in the direction of his finger and saw a huge city looming in the distance. The two sides seemed to stretch for thousands of miles with no end in sight. This was much more majestic than other state capital cities in the northwest. No wonder the King of Beidu chose this place.
For the base camp, he looked away and found that the end of the forest was in front of him, so he turned to look at Su Qing: "Old Su, let's dismount."
Among the four of them, Cheng Tie was the most like a bandit. As for him and Su Qing, although they had changed into coarse clothes in advance and their hair was messy, temperament cannot be hidden, especially since Su Qing would do it from time to time.
If you show your righteousness and ride into the city on horseback, you will definitely be noticed, and it will be bad if you arouse suspicion.
"Okay!" Su Qing nodded silently and followed Tang Ji to get off the horse.
After waiting for the two men to blend into the team, Sun Yufu, who was riding on the horse, also grabbed the horse rope to slow down.
"Mr. Sun, I leave it to you." Tang Ji looked up at him and warned.
"Don't worry."
Sun Yufu nodded casually, and without saying a word, he picked up the wine gourd at his waist, drank a sip of wine, then turned his horse's head and headed towards the forest.
Ever since he saw his strength in Black Dragon Village, Tang Ji was not worried about what would happen to him, so he was not too polite. He just glanced at the opponent with his peripheral vision and followed the team forward.
Everyone else knew that Sun Yufu would not go into the city with them, so they didn't think much about it.
Not long after, everyone walked out of the forest. Tang Ji raised his eyes and looked into the distance. The land three miles ahead was flat. Apart from them, there were no other people on the road. After walking for a while, Yingzhou could be clearly observed.
City, the gray city wall is like a majestic mountain, particularly majestic. The red towers above add a bit of grandeur. There seem to be soldiers standing behind each crenellation. There is a very spacious moat in front, which shows the strictness of the defense.
At this moment, Su Qing, who was standing next to him, said: "Decades ago, the Jiang State army also invaded and successively conquered several major cities in the north, but was stopped outside Yingzhou, so this city is
Northwest and Ningguo both have special significance."
Tang Ji nodded, then sighed: "Who would have expected that today, decades later, Yingzhou would become a big trouble for Northwest and Ningguo."
Su Qing shook her head, but quickly adjusted her expression: "So, isn't it up to you and me to solve this problem?"
Hearing this, Tang Ji touched his chin and thought for a while, then lowered his voice and asked: "Hey, the King of Beidu directed and acted on his own to suppress the bandits and delayed the war in the northwest. This must be a serious crime. He will probably lose his head and die anyway.
If it were me, I would definitely rebel, so do we still need to sneak in and investigate?"
"Well, in that case, our mission when entering the city is to collect intelligence, coordinate the army when necessary, recapture Yingzhou City, and preferably capture the King of Beidu alive." Su Qing explained.
After hearing what he said, Tang Ji rolled his eyes: "You don't really think the two of us can make any waves in Yingzhou City, do you?"
Su Qing smiled calmly: "What? Brother Tang is afraid?"
"What am I afraid of? Don't forget that I am protected by two master-level masters." Tang Ji replied with a guilty conscience. He really didn't pay much attention to it before, thinking it was just a spy game, but when he saw Yingzhou City
This scale, coupled with the twitching eyelids, made me feel a little panicked for a moment.
Su Qing's eyes were extremely firm, and she clenched her fists and said, "I promised Ah Ming that when I become a general with my own abilities one day, I will marry her and go home!"
Immediately, he reached out and patted Tang Ji's shoulder: "Don't worry, I will protect you if you encounter danger. Even if you die, you will definitely die behind me."
"Haha, thank you!" Tang Ji replied speechlessly, then closed his mouth and lowered his head again, because they had arrived outside the gate of Yingzhou City.
The team slowly walked across the wooden bridge suspended by two large chains. When they reached the other side, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
"Who is here and why?"
Fang Wei raised his hands and cupped his fists, and replied with a smile: "Fang Wei, the head of Black Dragon Village, has been ordered to come and pay homage to the King of Beidu!"
Hearing this, the captain standing behind a row of soldiers holding spears looked at each other for a few times and replied: "Wait, I will report!"
Within a moment, a general wearing copper-colored armor came out. He was a bit ugly, with two big yellow teeth exposed. He said somewhat arrogantly: "You are from Black Dragon Village, right? All of us will dismount and be inspected one by one. Their strength will be checked."
If you are above first-class, go to the right alone and don’t do any tricks, otherwise you will die!”
After hearing what he said, Fang Wei frowned slightly, slightly displeased, but considering that this was someone else's territory, he still raised his hand and ordered: "Dismount!"
Immediately, several people on horseback landed on the ground one after another. Following the instructions, Fang Wei, Li Qingmei, Cheng Tie, Su Qing, Hua Yuan'er and the two bandits who had just joined the ranks quickly lined up in a line, while the rest stood on the left.
Seeing this scene, Jia Zhou bared his two big yellow teeth again and said in surprise: "You...what are you doing with so many first-class masters coming to Black Dragon Village?"
"Oh, the brothers were bored in the village, so they wanted to come out to relax. I had heard that Yingzhou City was prosperous, so I brought them here." Fang Wei explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Jia Zhou pursed his lips. Yingzhou was closed. There was no talk of prosperity. If he wanted to relax, he could just find a small town to play. He glanced at Fang Wei with dissatisfaction and then ordered: "Okay.
Now, let’s search them one by one and enter the city!”
Soon, the team on the left was the first to move. Two soldiers checked the bandits one by one in front of an expressionless general. After confirming that they were correct, they could enter the city. After most of the people on this side had passed, a group of soldiers
The figure slowly walked out of the city.
"Sorry, I went to bed a little late last night and came late!"
