Summary of the previous chapter: Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu placed a secret card on the ground waiting for the arrival of Ma Xiaoquan and his party, but they did not know that they were in the underground passage...
Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes and nodded: "No wonder the information I collected said: Don't destroy the wall easily. This is what the trouble was referring to for a long time. But Xiao Yu'er, time is running out now. If we don't pass this wall
, can’t win?”
"Captain, don't worry. This wall cannot be destroyed, but you can remove some bricks. We can just get through it."
"How to do that?"
Xiao Yu'er blushed and said: "Captain, I'm not tall and there are many places I can't reach, so I need your help!"
Li Qinghan also stepped forward and volunteered: "I am also taller and can help."
"Um"
Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands: "Okay, Xiao Yu'er, then you take command. Vice Captain Qinghan and I will do it. Everyone, please step back a little."
"yes......"
...
Ma Xiaoquan and his party were busy in the secret passage, and Li Zongyu's elite soldiers were approaching the gate of Beijing.
The rules of the competition were that the two teams, namely Ma Xiaoquan's team and Li Zongyu's team, had to arrive at a specific location to pick up a token, and then return to the outskirts of Beijing to hand the token to the emperor. Whoever got it back faster would win.
The destination in the city of Li Zongyu's team was the execution ground, while the destination in the city of Ma Xiao's team was in front of the palace.
Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu did not set up obstacles in the city. Firstly, it would be too conspicuous, and they were afraid of telling the truth. Secondly... even if Ma Xiaoquan and his party were able to enter Beijing, they would probably be outnumbered at this time.
It's more than half the time, humph, don't forget, you still have to go back with the token. After all this time, it's still a big doubt whether Ma Xiaoquan can go back.
Li Zongyu had already arrived at the execution ground on horseback.
Standing by the execution ground, Li Zongyu proudly waited for the arrival of his elite soldiers.
A craftsman came over and whispered: "General, there seems to be no one around Ma Xiaoquan... I haven't seen any of them in the last few spots on the outskirts of the city."
"Oh?" Li Zongyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true. I've been to a few of the previous spots, but they all said I didn't see them."
Li Zongyu chuckled: "Although there are many roads leading to the capital from the suburbs, there are only a few gates to enter the city. Ma Xiaoquan must be slow, haha..."
Just as he was talking, another craftsman ran over, sweating profusely and said: "Report to the general, Ma...Ma Xiaoquan and his party suddenly appeared. They have now taken the token and turned back."
"What? How is this possible?" Li Zongyu was shocked, "How is this possible? We have set up so many hidden cards, but we didn't stop even one of them? Where are our people? Where are our people?"
"Replying to the general, our people have also entered the city, but they haven't been seen yet?"
"Oops!" Li Zongyu had a premonition that something was wrong and quickly ordered: "Go to the city gate and have a look!"
...
Ma Xiaoquan and his party ran out of the city gate and stopped at the door.
"Well, let's take a rest. By the way..." Ma Xiaoquan looked up at the guards on the city wall and whispered, "By the way, it's time for us to fight back."
All the team members nodded excitedly.
"Qingwen" Ma Xiaoquan called.
"exist!"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and said, "Are all the previous deployments ready?"
"Everything is ready! Just waiting for us to clean it up!"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Well, let's split into two groups. Qingwen, you take a few people to clean up, and we run back."
"yes!"
...
In another city gate, Li Zongyu's elite soldiers were leaning together, as if they were drunk and listless.
Li Zongyu ran over with two soldiers, and he was not very angry when he saw that his elite soldiers who had worked so hard to train were like this.
"What's going on?" Li Zongyu asked angrily.
A spy at the city gate stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Come back to the general, I don't know what's happened to our brothers. It's like this as soon as we enter the city."
Li Zongyu frowned: "Did he eat something unclean, or was he infected?"
"Reply...reply to the general, I don't know!"
"Fuck you!" Li Zongyu kicked the city gate spy to the ground and stamped his foot several times.
"Damn it." Li Zongyu looked around. The soldiers were all paralyzed and looked like they would not be able to recover for a while.
"I'm so angry!" Li Zongyu gritted his teeth. In this situation, he was the only one left in his team.
With all his men like this, I'm afraid they can't run any longer, but the game has to be completed. If it's not completed, where will I put my face in the future?
In desperation, Li Zongyu had no choice but to turn around and run to the execution ground. At this moment, he was the only lone general to complete the game.
...
Li Zongyu ran to the execution ground panting, took the token and immediately turned back.
When he came here before, he was riding a horse because he could do so as a bystander. Now he is the only team member. If he rides a horse again and is seen by the people in Beijing, it will be considered cheating.
However, Li Zongyu did not intend to give up riding, at least not within the city. As long as he left the city and walked around a few corners into the woods, he could still ride the horse he had prepared long ago. Hum
Li Zongyu made good plans, but what he didn't know was that Ma Xiaoquan had ordered Hua Yue to make other arrangements at the same time as he was making arrangements.
When Li Zongyu ran out of the city gate and entered the woods, ready to ride the horse he had arranged, he realized that he was not riding a horse, but a mule.
Mules are a cross between a male donkey and a female horse. They are sterile, but they are much stronger than horses. The most important thing is that mules cannot be ridden. As long as someone rides on the back of a mule, it will most likely break free.
Throw it down.
Li Zongyu hesitated for a long time whether to ride a mule. In the end, his anxiety defeated his reason.
On the other side, Qingwen and several other team members sent by Ma Xiaoquan were cleaning up the secret card ambush arranged by Wei and Li.
Qingwen's family is a beekeeping family among the hidden wealthy families. The family she belongs to has very good beekeeping technology. They breed guide bees, explorer bees, and even killer bees. Of course, the killer bees are as common as Qingwen's.
It is not used. This kind of bee, once released, will definitely harvest human lives.
