Gong County is a small town on the border between Qin and Han. There is a post station fifty miles east of the city. In this way, every fifty miles away, there is such a post station. From Gong County to Xinzheng, it is only four hundred miles away, and such a post station is only eight.
There are only sixty or seventy seats, even taking into account the inns leading to Xinzheng from other directions.
There is an inn station more than fifty miles west of Xingyang, South Korea. As night falls, the gate of the inn station has not yet been closed. With the outbreak of war in the north, all systems in South Korea have been mobilized. However, at this time, this inn station
It was quite peaceful. The old official in charge of the inn was lying on a soft chair with a comfortable expression, surrounded by several subordinates.
"Tou, tell me, will the Qin State be repulsed by us this time?" one of the young men couldn't help but ask.
"Repulse?" The old official opened his eyes and said with a nonchalant expression, "Are our Korean troops more numerous than Qin's, or are our Korean soldiers more ferocious than Qin's soldiers?"
"That means that this time, we in South Korea are in danger?" The young man's expression changed involuntarily.
"Danger? It depends on how you say it. Some people are in danger. As for us, we are just spectators." The old official said calmly.
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, the old official continued: "The direction where Qin has launched troops against us over the years has always been on both sides of the river. Although it is very close to us, our place is not a battlefield. When Qin robs what we want,
If you want something, you will retreat by yourself, so don't worry too much." said the old official.
"That's right. Although Korea was not that big back then, it still had a land of thousands of miles. Now, isn't that all that's left?" The young man said with self-mockery and depression.
"This kind of thing is not what we are more concerned about. In this troubled world, it is enough to live a stable life for a lifetime. What else can we ask for?" The old official said helplessly as he looked at the aggrieved younger generation.
"It's just that the Qin State really deceived others too much." The young man said unwillingly.
"Qin does not bully others, only the country." The old official shook his head and said.
Suddenly, the old official with a lazy expression stood up and looked blankly at the door, instinctively sensing a hint of danger.
"What's wrong?" The old official's reaction made the subordinates around him ask nervously.
"Is trouble coming?" the old official said, already putting his hand on the handle of the knife beside the table.
But while the old official was talking, three armed men had already appeared at the door.
"The old guy is indeed alert enough. It seems that not all Koreans are incompetent." The leader said.
"The person who set up the trap?" Through the light, the old official could barely see the abnormality of the person coming, and his heart had sunk to the bottom.
"I'm sorry, we came here to kill people, so we really can't give you any more nonsense." The leader said, turning into an afterimage and attacking the old official.
The poor people at the inn originally had powerful crossbows, but they didn't carry them with them at this time. Although they also had martial arts, how could they escape from the attack of the trap killer? In the blink of an eye, they were lying dead in the courtyard.
"Be gentle on your head and lower hands. You will get a bloody mess and it will be very troublesome to clean." A killer looked at the colorful ground and couldn't help complaining.
"I forgot, I forgot, how terrifying the previous killings were. I forgot that this mission is to lurk after killing people." The leader of the killer said with a red face.
"Forget it, forget it." The complainer could only pack up the body with a grimace, while the other person walked towards the well and fetched water to clean the ground.
A scene similar to this one happened at the same time on the ground hundreds of miles west of Xinzheng. Almost at the same time, all the inns in the western border of Korea were destroyed.
At the not-too-distant border between Qin and South Korea, a torrent of rolling cavalry entered South Korea's territory. It was a full moon at this time, and the moonlight was just right. Under the cold moonlight, the Qin army's armor exuded this cold aura.
"The Qin army is attacking, go and report it quickly."
When the Qin army's cavalry poured into the Korean territory like a flood, the defenders of Gong County, South Korea, all panicked when they reacted. When they discovered that the Qin army was circling the city, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
But although South Korea is small, it has a lot of people. Although there are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, there is no shortage of passionate and loyal people. When South Korea's information transmission system was completely destroyed, there is no shortage of people in the world risking their lives to go to Xinzheng.
Deliver the message.
However, waiting for these people were not only the scouts sent by the Qin army, but also the killers lurking in various inns. These reckless people in South Korea paid a heavy price to know the state, and they realized that the official road could no longer go.
In this way, we can only turn around the usually unattended paths and cross mountains and ridges in order to deliver the message back to Xinzheng as quickly as possible, so that Xinzheng has enough time to respond.
However, not every person in the world has good Qinggong. The real masters are very good. Therefore, in the process of climbing over mountains and ridges, on the elongated road, although the speed of these people is not slow, but
But there is no need for the Qin army's cavalry to flow much faster.
Fortunately, in order not to affect their future combat effectiveness, the Qin cavalry did not dare to fully squeeze their horsepower. This gave them a chance. They did not have to worry about such problems. Even if they were exhausted to death, they did not dare to rest.
, but it also gave them a chance.
Of course, although South Korea is small, it still has real masters, such as Mo Crow, the night killer in South Korea's sky and a member of Bai Niao. His light skills are so strong that although he cannot travel thousands of miles in a day, he can travel hundreds of miles.
The ability is still there.
Therefore, when the night killer got the news of the Qin army's invasion, he rushed to Xinzheng as quickly as possible. Although he was delayed a lot of time due to the obstruction of the Qin army and the snare killer, he still rushed back in the shortest time.
Xinzheng.
In Xinzheng City, a secret mansion.
Mo Ya, who has a narrow waist and slender back, informed the Emerald Tiger, the supreme commander of Ye Mu, who is currently in Xinzheng, of the information he obtained.
However, after hearing Mo Crow's information, the broad and fat Jade Tiger not only showed no signs of eagerness, but instead had a look of joy on his face.
"Are you sure you are the first person to break through the Qin army's blockade?" Jade Tiger asked.
"Yes, although there are many people coming to Xinzheng, they can't be faster than me." Mo Ya replied.
"What a great opportunity." Jade Tiger received a positive reply, and the bold plan in his mind truly became possible.
"I have already brought up the news. You should ask someone to tell King Han the news as soon as possible." Mo Ya said.
"Let me ask you, with the speed of the Qin army, when will it appear outside Xinzheng City?" Jade Tiger stood up with difficulty and asked Mo Ya.
"Tomorrow evening, if the Qin army is not blocked, it will appear outside Xinzheng City." Mo Ya replied.
"Tomorrow evening? There's still time, there's still time." The Emerald Tiger murmured to himself.
"What do you mean, sir?" Mo Ya asked puzzledly.
"Information is money, Mo Crow, you have made a great contribution this time, this information is worth a thousand dollars." Emerald Tiger said excitedly.
The moment he got the information from Mo Crow, Jade Tiger thought of a plan to answer. If he collected all kinds of supplies in Xinzheng City this night, then when the Qin army came to the city, all kinds of living supplies would undoubtedly be needed.
If the price increases exponentially, wouldn't you make a lot of money?
Therefore, of course he would use his connections to report the news to King Han this time, but it would definitely not be now, but would have to wait until tomorrow, after he had obtained all the supplies that could be purchased in Xinzheng.
Thinking of the wealth in it, the fat face of the Emerald Tiger couldn't help but reveal a greedy smile.
After hearing the Emerald Tiger's plan, Mo Ya felt a chill in his heart. Although he was a killer, he was still a Korean after all.
Can Korea like this be saved? Mo Ya couldn't help but doubt himself and the object of his allegiance.
But he is just a killer. Under the strict orders of the Emerald Tiger, what can he do?
