Mo Shoumin, who was waiting outside the county guard's office, and Gu Xiao, who were disguised as county guards and guards, were waiting outside the office. Seeing the guards in front of the county guard coming in, Gu Xiao took a few steps, approached Mo Shoumin, and spoke in a low voice.
"Master Mo, after joining the company later, we can delay it as long as we can. Once we can't delay it any longer, we will act according to the plan we discussed before."
Mo Shoumin nodded slightly, without looking back. His eyes fell on the several patrol sergeants in front of the department who were watching the four of them closely. Seeing that they did not pay attention to the whispers of several people, he whispered back: "Brother Mu, don't worry. , just Brother Yang, please give me some help.”
When Gu Xiao came, Yang Huchen was the one he wanted to save, so he naturally replied: "Don't worry, Patriarch Mo, leave everything to us."
While the two were conversing, they saw the gate of the Sheriff's Department slowly opening. The soldiers who had previously entered to report had already come quickly, stood on the front steps, and spoke loudly to Gu Xiao and the others outside the Department.
"The general has an order to send Mo Shoumin to report to the department."
Hearing this, Mo Shoumin bowed and led Gu Xiao and the others, bowing their heads. Just as he was about to enter the gate of the County Sheriff's Department, he was stopped by several patrolling sergeants holding halberds.
"Everyone, what does this mean?" Mo Shoumin, who had already entered the county guard's office, looked back at the patrol soldiers who stopped Gu Xiao and the other three, and asked in confusion.
"The general's order does not allow you to bring anyone in with you." The guard guarding the door opened his eyes and shouted sternly.
Mo Shoumin was anxious, and he was about to argue, but Gu Xiao, who was blocked from the door, spoke first: "Sir, the military situation is urgent, and I am the only one who knows about it. However, I am of low status, and I am worried that your Excellency will not inform you. I begged Patriarch Mo to come forward and please allow us to join the report together with Patriarch Mo."
The patrol sergeant guarding the door took a look at the county guard who was blocked outside. He was young and spoke sincerely. He spoke calmly and said, "Boy, don't say too much. General Gao is not something you can see if you want." Yes, if you have any military information, you might as well tell Patriarch Mo and let him come in and report it."
Seeing that the gatekeeper refused to let him go, the gate of the county guard's office was right in front of him. Gu Xiao glanced slightly and secretly made a calculation in his mind. At present, all the patrol soldiers in Mo County had dispersed to settle the people of Mo County. There were only a few soldiers. Stay outside the Sheriff's Office.
Now that his goal of getting close to the Sheriff's Department has been achieved, he can now use the strength of the three of him to rush in and rescue people. As long as he is fast enough and does not wait for the soldiers to gather, he can just capture General Gao and use him as a hostage. Yang Huchen and Mr. Yun escorted him and rescued him.
The young man's hand was slowly reaching for the knife on his waist. When Jiang Ningxue and Yandian Guo behind him saw this, they instantly noticed the young man's thoughts. They secretly gathered their energy and prepared to take action at the same time as the young man.
The gatekeepers had been following Gordon for many years, and they all had sharp eyes. Seeing the expressions and actions of these three people, something seemed wrong, and they suddenly became alert and pressed their hands to the sabers at their waists.
The atmosphere outside the gate of the Sheriff's Department suddenly became tense. Just when Gu Xiao was about to take action, he heard someone from the Sheriff's Department greeting several gatekeepers.
"I have sent people to prepare meals for you guys. I will change posts soon. Remember to eat."
This sound slightly eased the tense atmosphere in front of the door. Everyone looked for the sound and saw Lao Jin, the cook in the county guard's office, holding leftovers and dishes. He handed the sundries in his hands to the waiter beside him and gave instructions. Come quickly.
When Gu Xiao was hesitating whether to take action, he saw Lao Jin wiped the oil on his hands and smiled at the gatekeepers: "You guys have entered Mo County, why are you so nervous... Hey, this yes..."
When he finished speaking, his eyes had already moved towards Gu Xiao and the others in front of the door. The leading county guard looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he couldn't help but want to get closer to take a closer look.
The soldiers never took their eyes away from the young man. They were still wary, but they still spoke with a little respect: "It's Chef Jin. No, these county guards want to meet our general. What can I say?" Military information."
Seeing that it was Lao Jin, Gu Xiao secretly complained. He put on a little disguise, maybe he could hide it from the patrol soldiers who had never seen him before, but Lao Jin had only seen him not long ago, and the man in snow clothes who broke through the Golden Sword Gate the day before yesterday attacked the patrol. When he was guarding the army, he used Lao Jin's help to sneak into the patrol camp.
If I want to hide again at this time, I'm afraid it will arouse more suspicion.
Xiao had no choice but to grit his teeth, lower his head, pretend not to know, and greeted Lao Jin: "Sir, I do have important military information to tell you. I hope you can pass it on."
The gatekeeper said impatiently: "You boy, why are you so stubborn? Didn't I tell you that the general's order is for Master Mo to go alone. Just inform Master Mo of the general's situation and leave quickly." ..”
Before he finished speaking, Lao Jin interrupted and said, "Wait a minute."
The gatekeeper didn't know what was going on, and was about to ask out of curiosity, when he saw Lao Jin walking towards the three county guards with suspicion in his eyes, until he was in front of the leading young man, and then he said, "Little brother, raise your head."
Gu Xiao had already gathered enough energy at this time and made up his mind. When Lao Jin got close to him, he suddenly raised his eyes.
Seeing this familiar face, Lao Jin finally remembered why he looked so familiar to this young man. Wasn't he the young knight who had sneaked into the patrol of the county guard the night before, discovered the gourd poisoning, and then helped his general to suppress the bandits? Why did he Appear here.
His pupils shrank for a moment, and he was about to speak, but he felt a young sword finger pressed against his waist, and a voice rang in his ears: "You have seen my skills and know that it is easy for me to take your life. Find a way to bring me into the County Sheriff's Department. I won’t embarrass you.”
Lao Jin knew from the young man's tone that he was not here to help him. Having seen the young man's skills, how could he dare to resist? He also knew that several patrol guards behind him were looking at him. After thinking for a moment, he had to pretend to be close to him. , opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Cousin, why are you here!"
This scene made the patrol sergeant guarding the gate behind Lao Jin momentarily stunned. Before he could react, Lao Jin put his arms around the young guard's shoulders and walked into the gate of the county guard's office together. He also said politely: "When did you come to Mo County as an errand? You didn't even tell me that you were my brother. Come on, come on. It just happened to be in time for the group to start, so we two brothers had a good chat."
After entering the County Sheriff's Department, Lao Jin did not forget to look back and greet Jiang Ningxue and the other two people outside the department: "What's wrong with you? Since they are my brother's colleagues, let's come together."
Yandianguo and Jiang Ningxue exchanged glances and hurriedly followed, leaving only the gatekeepers who had not yet recovered... It was not until Lao Jin led a few people into the palace that these soldiers turned around. Murmured conversation.
"This Chef Jin...when did he have a brother who was a guard in Mo County..."
Several soldiers shook their heads.
"I think I heard someone from the kitchen camp mention it, but I can't remember clearly..."
"Would you like to report this to the general?"
"Don't talk too much, or someone from the kitchen camp will cause trouble for us in the future."
"Okay, stop chewing your tongue, so you can be on guard."
...
After holding Lao Jin hostage, Mo Shoumin finally entered the Sheriff's Department. Mo Shoumin gave Gu Xiao and the other three who held Lao Jin hostage a "follow the plan" look, and followed the people who came to pick him up to the lobby of the County Sheriff's Department.
Gu Xiao pretended to move his arm and took Lao Jin to a secluded place in the company. When he saw that there was no one around, he let go. Before he could speak, he heard Lao Jin beside him with a solemn face and said first: " The young knight is here, I guess he is not here to help my patrol like he did the night before."
Gu Xiao didn't expect Lao Jin to have such an insight, and he didn't hide it. He said bluntly: "Yes, I am here to save people."
Lao Jin's face became darker. Although few people in the army knew what happened the night before, and those who knew it kept silent, Lao Jin was one of the people who saw it with his own eyes and knew full well that this young man and the captured imperial envoy Humu He was on the road, and he didn't know why his general wanted to capture the imperial envoy. But Lao Jin was certain that the young man came here to save people, so he asked this question.
After receiving the young master's affirmative reply, Lao Jin's eyes flickered. His general had the help of the tiger-eyed imperial envoy and the young man to save his life. Regardless of the status of the tiger-eyed young man's imperial envoy, even this kind of repaying evil with evil made Lao Jin unable to hold his head high. That's why he was willing to help Gu Xiao and the others enter the county guard's office in front of the gate.
"You want to save that tiger-eyed young man, I am willing to help and repay your kindness for my general, but I have a condition..." Lao Jin was not worried that the young man would do something to him. Instead, he thought about it and spoke calmly.
Hearing what Lao Jin said, Gu Xiao was startled. It was obvious that Lao Jin had misunderstood that he was here to save Yan Weiwei. Since he had made a huge mistake, he might as well make up for it.
Wrong, I asked, "What are your conditions?"
Lao Jin did not answer, but just looked at Gu Xiao and said: "Don't hurt my general. After you get it, leave quickly and don't cause trouble again."
Gu Xiao responded: "Okay, I'll just follow your words, Lao Jin."
Lao Jin nodded, told the truth about the place where Yan Qingchuan was imprisoned, and guided him to the place of detention. However, seeing that several young people had no intention of leaving, he said in a deep voice: "I have told you the place of detention. What are you doing here?" ..."
The young man said bluntly: "There is still one person imprisoned in the Sheriff's Department. Where is he now?"
Lao Jin was shocked when he heard this and said, "You mean...General Yang."
"Yes, where is he being held in Si Zhong?" When the young man heard that Lao Jin mentioned Yang Huchen, he hurriedly asked.
Lao Jin, a cook, didn't know how powerful he was, and just wanted to send the young man and his party away as soon as possible. He immediately said: "He is being held in the county guard's prison, but... the guard is very strict. I advise the young man not to be good at it." Break in."
"Thank you! I don't want to implicate Brother Jin in this matter. If anyone asks afterward, just say that you were forced by me..." Gu Xiao thanked him, and when he finished speaking, he cut Lao Jin's neck with one palm.
Lao Jin felt a pain in his neck and his vision went dark. He immediately fainted and fell to the ground. Gu Xiao quickly supported him, hid him aside, and covered him with a haystack before turning around and speaking to Jiang Ningxue and the others.
"The head of the Mo family has entered the hall. Let's sneak into the lobby of the Sheriff's Department first. When Uncle Mo meets the general, we will capture him and use him as a hostage to save them. When the Sheriff's Department is in chaos, the soldiers in the city will naturally go here. Assemble, you take the opportunity to leave with Brother Yang, go to the place pointed out by Lao Jin just now, and rescue Yan Guards. I will stay in the company and try to deal with the patrol."
Yantou Guo responded: "Then let's meet somewhere after we rescue the person."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Xiao said: "After you rescue Yan Weiwei, you don't have to wait for me. Take him to Yanbei City first, and try to rescue Mr. Yun and Miss Mo before they are kidnapped. I'll hold it This general can naturally help you distract your pursuers."
Only then did Jiang Ningxue realize that the young man had already made a plan in his mind to use himself as bait to lure away the pursuers. He said anxiously: "No, how can you fight with the thousands of soldiers patrolling in Mojun City alone? deal with."
Gu Xiao understood that if he didn't tell her how to escape, he would be afraid that Miss Jiang would be unwilling to leave alone because of her temperament, so he pretended to be confident and said: "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I have a way of escape."
Jiang Ningxue was still worried: "There are thousands of soldiers in the city, how do you know that there are no capable people in the army? Why don't you and I work together to take care of each other if anything goes wrong?"
Yandianguo looked at the concerned expression in the eyes of the girl beside him, and seemed to have seen the clues, so he smiled and said: "Brother Mu, how about you follow what Miss Jiang said."
Gu Xiao had no time to think about it, but said solemnly: "Brother Chi Xin doesn't know He Ji. This matter requires Miss Jiang to go with him. Only by rescuing Mr. Yun and settling the matter in Yanbei can we borrow his help." Try your best to find the whereabouts of Murong Valley."
After hearing what the young man said, she knew that his mind had been made up, so Jiang Ningxue said no more.
Seeing that the two of them had no objections, Gu Xiao immediately bowed his head and led the two of them to watch the county warden's office and sneak away quietly.
