"We must hurry, otherwise Ganjing may be captured at any time."
Yang Ying urged Shi Xiao, but after a while, there was a sudden command: "Who is it?"
They saw a group of soldiers holding spears surrounding them. Although they were wary, they did not dare to be rude.
Shi Xiao took out a token: "We are ordered to search for enemy spies nearby!"
When the soldiers saw the token, they immediately put away their weapons. Shi Xiao shouted and asked, "Is there anything going on nearby?"
"Report to Captain Cavalry, everything is normal."
"Continue to be on alert. An enemy army has sneaked near here. Remember to be alert."
"yes!"
Several soldiers immediately raised their heads and chests seriously, as if they were being scolded by their leaders, but everyone was very pious.
Yang Ying felt strange: They called Shi Xiao the Cavalry Commander. Could it be that Shi Xiao was just the Cavalry Commander?
Daqian was at the twelfth level of military merit, and Cavalry Commander was only at the fifth level from the lowest to the highest. How could Shi Xiao, the leader of the four great generals, be at such a low level?
By the way, now it’s disguise!
The Black Armor Army is the elite of the Daqian Army, and the most ordinary soldier is also a Wudu Lieutenant. This is an honor that many ordinary soldiers can achieve after a long battle, and some soldiers cannot even achieve it in a lifetime.
Therefore, the black-armored soldiers are particularly respected, and because they are all black-armored, other soldiers usually call them black-armored captains when they see them, unless they know their exact military merit level.
With the identity of the Black Armored Army and the token retained by Shi Xiao as the leader of King Qin's four brave generals, Yang Ying and the others quickly approached King Qin's tent.
It's already within two hundred steps.
Yang Ying could clearly see King Qin's tent, with a "King of Qin" flag fluttering in the wind, which was very eye-catching.
In front of the king's tent, there stood an eye-catching carriage with two people standing on it and several soldiers standing behind it.
Although they were far apart, Yang Ying could still tell at a glance that the two leaders were Li Chengba and Wei Liuhou: a battle was going on at this time, and Li Chengba, as the commander of the army, should be standing in the most conspicuous place, trying his best to make everyone The soldiers saw.
When the coach is there, the backbone is there and the morale is there.
But Li Chengba obviously took safety factors into consideration: the car was at least 300 steps away from the city wall of Qianjing. At such a distance, even if Qianjing had a heavy mechanical crossbow like a bed crossbow, it would be difficult to shoot.
As Shi Xiao said, the soldiers on the left, right and behind him were already on alert two hundred steps away.
Therefore, when Shi Xiao said that it was impossible to assassinate Li Chengba by shooting arrows, he really had no ambition to surpass others.
If this were the case, even if he walked within 150 steps, he would not be able to shoot an arrow at all: after all, once he made the action of shooting an arrow towards King Qin, he would be discovered by others.
"It's still too late to give up on the assassination."
Yang Ying said: "Look at their siege momentum."
Indeed, the morale of King Qin's army is extremely high, and it is possible to capture Qianjing at any time.
Shi Xiao stopped trying to persuade him, and the two of them continued to approach Li Chengba quietly.
Suddenly, Shi Xiao slowed down a bit. Yang Ying was wary, but they saw a man who looked like a school captain in front of them and looked over.
The captain was leading a group of soldiers, looking ahead solemnly. They were obviously ready to take part in the siege, but the city was too narrow for them to attack, so they were waiting here.
"Two black-armored captains!"
The captain just called Yang Ying and Shi Xiao.
"What's the matter with you?"
Shi Xiao's tone was "smooth".
The captain asked: "Do you know how General Shi Baoqing is doing now?"
Yang Ying's heartbeat accelerated rapidly: There is also a helmet that covers the face, otherwise it would be over.
Shi Xiao said: "General Shi should be leading the army from the front at this time. How could you ask such a question?"
"Really?"
The captain's face was full of joy: "Last night, I heard that General Shi led the Black Armored Army to fight. I heard other people say that the Black Armored Army who came back were very embarrassed. They looked like they had lost the battle, and General Shi was not seen. When I came back, I thought General Shi..."
The words "dead on the battlefield" or "injured" were not said out loud, but the tone changed: "I just said, how is this possible? How could General Shi lose the battle? How could the Black Armored Army lose the battle? I knew that others were messing up. explain.
I just saw that the two captains were a little dirty. They must have just come off the battlefield. They must have gone to the battlefield with General Shi yesterday, so I asked. "
As he spoke, the captain took a kettle from his waist and gave it to the two of them: "You two captains have worked hard, please drink some water first!"
Shi Xiao didn't reach out. If he took the kettle at this time and had to take off the armor on his head to drink water, he would naturally be recognized.
"Thank you very much."
Yang Ying reached out to take the kettle, half-taken off her helmet, and took a sip of water.
"Ouch, I'm so thirsty, I drank it all in one go."
Then he returned the water to the captain. The captain took the kettle and said with a smile: "It's okay."
But he asked another soldier to bring a kettle and handed it to Shi Xiao.
"No, I just drank." Shi Xiao was eager to get away: "We have to go back and report to the general, so I won't disturb you for now."
Shi Xiao and Yang Ying ignored the captain and left first.
"Captain, your body shape is really similar to that of General Shi!"
The captain joked, and Shi Xiao and Yang Ying left quickly.
"It's so strange, it's a war right now, why are they walking around!"
Don't ask yourself. When asked, the captain immediately felt something was wrong: no one would walk around when the two armies were fighting fiercely, especially the black-armored army with strict military discipline.
"General Shi once told me that when two armies are fighting, life and death are at stake. Once you encounter someone who is suspected of being a spy, you should rather fight in vain than indulge in it."
The captain immediately called to his soldiers: "Follow me."
The captain chased for a while and shouted to Yang Ying and Shi Xiao: "Stop."
"He found us!"
Yang Ying said: "Fight!"
"Don't move yet."
The captain rushed up: "Two black-armored captains, why are you walking up and down?"
Yang Ying was just thinking of an excuse, but Shi Xiao already said: "Wang Chong!"
Wang Chong, the captain of the school, had a face filled with astonishment: "General Shi?"
Shi Xiao took off his mask, showed his face, and quickly put it on again.
"General Shi, how could you do this?"
Wang Chong's vigilance was completely gone.
"This is Wang Kuo, the commander of the Right Guards of the Imperial Guard. He is lurking in the city on the orders of the King of Qin. I, the King of Qin, have ordered me to take him to the king's tent."
"So that's what happened! It's all my fault for being too worried."
"Wang Chong, follow me to King Qin's tent."
"General?" Wang Chong looked confused.
"You have been practicing for a long time, and it is time to promote you again. I will recommend you to the King of Qin in a moment, and the King of Qin will make use of you."
"Thank you, General."
Wang Chong ordered the other soldiers to stick to their posts, and then happily followed Shi Xiao and Yang Ying.
Wang Chong was originally a subordinate of Shi Xiao. As a captain at this time, he was also a familiar face in the army. With him leading the way, although the soldiers around him had doubts, they never came to question or intercept the three of them.
