Dadao Guan Sheng saw Ximen Qing smiling, as if he had just woken up from a dream. He hurriedly ordered people to untie Liu Tang and the other three people and send them over properly. The red-haired ghost Liu Tang was captured alive by Guan Sheng, but he was convinced. Seeing Ximen Qing at this moment
After a few words, Dadao Guan Sheng dismounted and knelt down, becoming more and more surprised.
Huang Xin and Deng Fei flexed their muscles, and Tang Bin ordered someone to fetch their mounts. He looked ashamed and said, "It's all for the villain, and the three brothers have suffered."
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Thanks to you, my sworn brother, for stepping forward. Otherwise, when the two armies were fighting, Baodu Mountain turned into powder in a flash, and the lives of the three village leaders would have been a pity."
Dadao Guan Sheng asked for details again, and Ximen Qing analyzed the situation. Guan Sheng, Tang Bin and other four people knew that Gao Qiu had led his army to Gaizhou Prefecture and said that he was going to have a fierce battle with Niu Wenzhong. The outcome was unknown; Ximen Qing
He led his army to defend Lingchuan County, which was like a nail. It was bordered by Zhaode Prefecture in the north and Weizhou in the east. It could be said to be a strategic location.
"You guys might as well go back to Baodu Mountain to stay and wait for my news." Ximen Qing said: "At that time, our army will bypass Baodu Mountain and pretend to attack the natural barrier of Huguan. The leader of Tang Village can pretend to contact the guard Shan Shiqi to attack our army together.
, after defeating the Shanshiqi, and then tricking the Huguan into opening when the time comes, it will not be difficult to obtain the natural danger."
Guan Sheng, Tang Bin and other four people heard about Ximen Qing's "ingenious plan", but they didn't know that it was written in the Water Margin. They just thought it was Ximen Qing who was strategizing, and they were all impressed.
...
...
"Brother, this Lingchuan County is heavily defended. This is the fourth time our brothers have tried to infiltrate. They have failed every time. Commander Bai has been urging us every day. What should we do?"
In a small village outside the north gate of Lingchuan County, a group of men in black are planning. Due to the war, this small village has long been empty of people, and it has become a stronghold for these people.
They were all originally Chazi elites from the Imperial City Division B, commanded by Bai Ying. Unexpectedly, they were now labeled as "traitors" and became killers in the darkness.
Tian Hu's ability to quickly occupy forty-two counties in four states had something to do with them, and he assassinated countless court officials.
"There must be some black-clad police officers from Group A in Ximen Qing's army. Otherwise, why would they know our secrets so well?"
The person who spoke was number three of Group B. His thin body seemed frail, but he was actually a dangerous person.
"Master Bai ordered the assassination of Ximen Qing. This matter is of vital importance to the great cause of the King of Jin." Sitting in the middle is the number one of Group B. When Bai Ying is not around, he is in charge of these elite inspectors: "I guess you guys
Do you also know that Ximen Qing is the most dangerous element?"
The killers nodded silently, and Bai Ying made it very clear that Ximen Qing was an extremely important key figure. He was surrounded by many generals with high martial arts skills, as well as blood soldiers. Only by killing Ximen Qing could this war be won.
hope.
"Report." The sentinel on the outskirts of the village came in: "Some soldiers from Ximen Qing escaped from the north. Now the north gate is wide open, allowing these soldiers to enter the city."
"Huh?" No. 3 of Team B said with a bright light in his eyes: "What a good opportunity!"
Number 1 of Group B also agreed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: "Go and knock down the deserters passing by the village outside, take off their clothes, and let's sneak into the city!"
...
...
At the north gate, brothers Zhang Heng and Langli Baitiao, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, looked at the soldiers who were escaping back from the landing one after another, and they both shook their heads secretly.
These were originally soldiers from Chenzhou or the Three Jin Dynasties. They were not well trained. However, it was a miracle that they could escape instead of fleeing.
"Stand down! Stand up one by one!" the soldiers at the north gate shouted, trying to maintain order: "You are not allowed to enter the city until your identity is clear!"
"Show all the wooden signs. Those who don't have any wooden signs should stand on the right side!"
One by one, the deserters took out the wooden tags from their waists, which stated their identities and simple physical characteristics.
Under the command of brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, the soldiers at the north gate strictly checked one by one. After each batch was checked, they were released into the city together.
Among the batch of deserters at the back who had not yet had time to check, there were more than ten pairs of eyes looking here coldly.
For these killers who were originally elite police officers, killing deserters passing by the village was easier than drinking water; wooden signs were assigned to killers with similar physical characteristics, so that passing the review procedure at the city gate was simply
It's just a piece of cake.
This time, a total of thirteen killers changed into soldier uniforms, and the number three of Group B acted as the conductor.
"The people in the city have long since fled, and there must be a lot of empty houses. It won't be difficult to find a place to stay by then. All that's left is to find out where Ximen Qing is and see how to start."
Team B's No. 3 was thinking about it, and seemed to have seen that the task was successfully completed.
"Next batch!"
Zhang Heng, Chuan Huo'er, yelled at the next batch of deserters to come over and verify their identities.
"Be careful on your own. If you are discovered, find an opportunity to escape alone. Don't involve others."
Group B No. 3 sent the order, asking the killers to withdraw their cold gazes and pretend to be scared for the review.
A moment later, just as Group B No. 3 expected, all thirteen killers, including himself, passed the review and entered the city.
What No. 3 of Group B didn't know was that as soon as they left, Langli Baitiao Zhang hurriedly walked into a nearby room, which was No. 26 of Group A.
"How about it?"
"Thirteen." No. 26, Group A, gave the number of people accurately: "No. 8, Group A, has already followed, and after finding a foothold, they will catch them all."
Zhang Shun nodded and said: "Okay! Even though Lord Ximen hasn't come back yet, we can't take it lightly."
"Yes, this is the fifth time they have tried to sneak into the city." The voice of Group A No. 26 was still so calm: "The first four times were tentative, but this time it is a practical action."
"Then I'll wait for your news before taking action." Zhang Shun always felt that this room seemed a bit eerie and couldn't help but rub his hands: "It's just that I have a question..."
"What?"
"How did you identify these killers from deserters?"
Faced with Zhang Shun's question, Group A No. 26 finally smiled, but his voice was still dull: "They used to be police officers in black clothes. They have been in this business for a long time, and there is always something harmonious about it."
Although the thirteen people just tried their best to conceal the different actions of others, those gestures...especially the standing posture and the position of the arms cannot be changed."
Zhang Shun suddenly realized, recalling that there were indeed a few deserters who stood a little differently. The other deserters relaxed when they arrived at the city gate, and although these people tried their best to relax, they were still like a taut bowstring.
Zhang Shun exited the room and looked at Group A No. 26 with awe in his eyes.
Imperial City Secretary! Inspector in black! What kind of person is this!
Only Ximen Qing can thrive in the Imperial City Division.
Zhang Shun was immediately full of respect for Ximen Qing.
...
...
Group A No. 8 took his time and followed the killers from a distance.
The thirteen people did not gather together in one place, but separated in twos and threes, and even took different routes. In addition, there were two groups of people who stopped at all times to check whether anyone was watching the way they came.
Of course, the No. 8 in Group A will not reveal any clues. For him, although these guys in Group B are skilled, he can usually predict their next move.
Therefore, all the killers, including Group B No. 3, did not know that they would be targeted once they entered the city.
After following for a while, Group A No. 8 already knew that these killers had chosen a house in the east of the city as their base, so he simply quietly surpassed these killers and reached the house first, hiding in the big house not far away.
On the tree.
The dense canopy of trees hides the figure of Group A No. 8 very well, giving a clear view from a high position.
The house was not empty, but eight soldiers lived there.
No. 8 in Group A didn't care about their fate, so when a faint scream came from below, No. 8 in Group A didn't even think of moving his fingers.
These...are all expendable.
No. 3 of Group B stood in the courtyard and glanced around: "You two, check all the rooms; you two, throw the bodies in the woodshed; you, clean up the blood stains! You two, stand guard!"
The killers just bowed and followed orders.
In their eyes, these soldiers were just a piece of meat that could walk when they were alive. Now that they are dead, they are just a piece of dead meat.
Like ants.
Soon, the bodies were removed, the courtyard was cleaned, and the two killers stood guard at the front and back doors.
"Well, this place is nice. Let's take action as soon as it gets dark!"
Team B No. 3 seemed very satisfied. He nodded and ordered: "Don't make any noise. If someone comes, just trick them into the house and kill them."
The killers accepted the order, and at the same time, No. 8 from Group A had quietly slipped down the tree, as nimble as a civet cat, without even shaking the leaves a few times.
...
...
"That's just the way it is."
No. 8 of Group A appeared in that room and drew a sketch from memory: "There will be a sentry at the front and back doors, leave it to two of us; we need to mobilize more people to surround the entire room and send more archers!"
"That's so troublesome." Chuanhuo'er Zhang Heng spread his hands and said, "Can't we just let the soldiers rush in and fight? Even if these people prick their hands, they can't hold back the large number of people?"
"These are the original Chazi elites of Group B. They are all very skilled. If one of them escapes, it will be a disaster." No. 26 of Group A said coldly: "Sir Ximen cannot be put in the slightest risk."
"Then what should we do?" Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun scratched his hair: "Someone has to go in and arrest him, right?"
"We don't have to go in." Group A No. 26 smiled coldly: "We have to find a way to force them out."
"Okay! I'm telling the soldiers to listen to you two. Time is tight, so we must act quickly!" Zhang Heng smashed his fist on the table: "You can't let anyone go!"
No. 8 in Group A showed no emotion: "Don't worry, these thirteen killers are already dead."
