Yang Hucheng looked solemn. After talking about what he saw outside Yunlai Inn, he turned to Jiang Ningxue and said, "Miss Jiang, I also have news about what Brother Mu wants to inquire about. Where is he now? Has he entered the city? "
Jiang Ningxue frowned slightly, as if she was worried about Gu Xiao: "He separated from us and went to the other two patrol armies, hoping to take the two patrol generals into the city together."
"Brothers Fukang and Furui have also arrived in Yanbei?" Yang Huchen was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he felt deeply worried and continued to speak.
"So, my worries are not groundless." Yang Huchen sighed to the sky and murmured to himself.
General Sun Pian's face was solemn. He knew very well that Yang Huchen was a man who would never make random accusations without evidence. It seemed that General Shan had really turned against him. Anger was welling up in his heart. He was about to ask Yang Huchen about his next move. Just as the plan was going on, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside the dark alley.
The four of them were busy hiding in the alley, silently turning away, only to see many ordinary people coming from the Shan Mansion. Although these people were wearing ordinary people's clothes, they all had firm steps, resolute eyes, bulging bags on their waists, and they could tell at a glance that they were carrying something. The sharp weapons don't look like ordinary people, but a discerning person can tell at a glance that these ordinary people are all soldiers in disguise.
While walking through the dark alley, these leaders of the common people glanced sideways into the dark alley, causing Yang Huchen and others to shrink back and hide in their hiding places. Only after these people were far away did a few people poke their heads out.
Yantai Guo tiptoed to the entrance of the alley, looked around, and saw that the group of common people had gone away. Then he turned back to the alley and spoke to Yang Huchen and others: "It seems that these people are the swordsmen and axemen in Shan Mansion that Brother Yang said Yes, it seems they were worried about the shortage of manpower, so they supplemented the manpower."
"Previously, many swordsmen and axemen were ambushed outside the Yunlai Inn. Just now, there were hundreds of people here... It seems that Shan Bin not only wants to rebel, but also wants to kill all the generals of the Yanbei Army. Kill." Yang Huchen's eyes were full of worry and he was very anxious.
Sun Pianjiang believed Yang Huchen's words deeply, and immediately said: "In this case, we must not sit idly by and ignore it. Brother Yang, why don't you let me inform the generals who came to the military order to take precautions in advance."
Yang Huchen fell into deep thought. At this time, Yanbeicheng was no longer as united as it was when General Wan was there. What's more, Brother Sun was just a general under Shan Bin's account, and he was a wanted person. If he went to report the news hastily, others would say nothing, and he would I'm afraid I'll be arrested on the spot.
After thinking about it again and again, Yang Huchen thought of Mu Yi. This young man was always quick-witted. Maybe he had a way to reverse the incident in Yanbei... Thinking of this, he turned to Jiang Ningxue and Yandianguo and asked about Gu Xiao's whereabouts again.
"Miss Shicai said that Brother Mu went to the Fukang and Furui brothers' camp and took them into the city?"
"That's true." Jiang Ningxue replied.
Yang Huchen thought for a while, and when he had a calculation in his mind, he spoke to a few people and stated what was on his mind: "Let's go in two directions. Brother Sun, you take Miss Jiang and Brother Chi to the city gate first. If Brother Mu comes in, City, after you meet up, come to a house on the north side of Yunlai Inn to find me. I will hang a Lantern Festival lantern in front of the door as a sign."
"As Brother Yang said, we will leave now." Jiang Ningxue was worried about Mu Yi's safety and spoke immediately.
Having agreed, Yang Huchen lowered his bamboo hat and walked out of the dark alley first. Seeing that there was no one around, he hurried to Yunlai Inn. Seeing this, General Sun Pian and others also walked out of the dark alley and hurried to Yanbei City. Go to Nancheng.
——
Gu Xiao and Murong Wu "held" the Fu brothers in front of them, and silently followed Yu Lie in front of them in the corridor of Yanbei City Gate. They looked up and looked around the thick Yanbei City Wall, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Yanbei City was so neat. The cloud barrier and such a thick city wall would be extremely difficult for even the current masters to break through.
As several people rode horses into Yanbei City, the sound of the heavy city gate closing sounded behind them, and the entire corridor was instantly plunged into darkness. Yu Lie, who was leading the way in front of him, said excitedly: "Brother, look at this Yanbei City. The North City is strong and thick. Not to mention the more than 10,000 men and horses of the three patrols outside the city, even if the Jin people's 100,000 cavalry arrive, it will be difficult to break through the city."
Gu Xiao was only focused on entering the city to find Mr. Yun's whereabouts. Hearing Yu Lie's words, his eyes moved slightly in the dark, and he tentatively said: "General Yu, since Yanbei City is so impenetrable, the people of Jin back then were
How to break through Yanbei Pass and reach Liangzhou? "
"Hey, brother, I don't know something. Back then, Emperor Zhao was in a coma and heard that the Yanbei guard was bewitched by the Jin people and secretly opened the Yanbei city gate, and then allowed the Jin people to enter the city." Yu Lie's voice said. The sound echoed in the corridor, and he stretched out his hand to touch the marks of knives, axes, and chisels in the corridor.
Gu Xiao's intention was not about what happened in Yanbei City back then. He just wanted to use conversation to lower Yu Lie's guard so he could ask what he wanted to ask: "General Yu, regarding the closure of the city, don't the people have nothing to do with it?" Are you complaining? The people in the city are okay. Don't these merchants, the escorts, and the traders have any complaints? "
"Brother Mu is right, but our Yanbei Army has been stationed for many years, and I have been harassed this time. I think the people can understand. Those merchants, traders, and foot soldiers all live in Beicheng. Before leaving the city, I was harassed by General Shan. I received a military order to go to Beicheng to inspect and observe how those people live as usual..." Yu Lie opened his chatter and started talking non-stop.
After hearing about Beicheng, Gu Xiao already had an idea in mind, and he still asked casually: "So, almost all of these foreign merchants live in Beicheng?"
"That's natural. Why, do you have an acquaintance in Yanbei City?" In the darkness, Yu Lie's expression could not be seen, but since the young man entered the city, he obviously talked a lot more than outside the city. Yu Lie had already opened his mouth. There was some doubt in the tone.
Gu Xiao naturally heard the suspicion in Yu Lie's words, and immediately smiled and said: "There are no familiar people. It's just that my brother and sister have never been to Yanbei City. I thought I would take this opportunity to have a good time." .”
Yu Lie paused for a moment in the darkness, and then he said leisurely: "That's easy to do. When we enter the city later, I will send a few Yanbei Army infantry to accompany the two of them for a walk around Yanbei City. I will wait for my General Shan. Summoned, it’s not too late to see you again.”
As he spoke, the light at the end of the corridor appeared, and Gu Xiao felt that the depression in his head disappeared. The morning sun came with the fresh air, sweeping away the tiredness in his chest.
The dazzling light flashed, and what came into view was not the scene of the people under the city busy discussing their daily lives, but the scene of soldiers and armor... surrounded by a city wall a hundred feet away, tightly trapping the land in front of it, the land of a hundred feet was very... Spectacular.
Yu Lie looked back at the two people behind him, and saw their surprised expressions, and the alertness in his eyes disappeared. Just then, in the corridor, the young man asked about what happened in Yanbei City, which made Yu Lie suspicious again, but this time he saw Seeing the appearance of the two of them, I immediately felt relieved and secretly thought that I was too worried.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Yu Lie brought the topic to the Wengcheng in front of him and said: "If you enter this Wengcheng, even the cavalry of Jin can only stand and wait to be killed."
The shock in the eyes of Gu Xiao and Murong Wu was indeed not fake. Although Liangzhou and Lingzhou were also major cities in the northern border of Qiyun, they were insignificant compared to Yanbei City.
While leading the way, Yu Lie did not forget to continue to tell Gu and Xiao about the strict discipline of the Yanbei army and the officers and men's orders. This was just to lay the groundwork for recruiting his own generals.
Not long after, they finally walked through Wengcheng and entered Yanbei City. Although the city was closed, once they entered the city, they still saw many people making a living. They looked at the soldiers of Yanbei who were walking quickly not far away. Yu Lie He turned back to Gu Xiao and said, "Brother Mu, since we have entered the city, we should first remove the acupuncture points of the two generals... Generals, please stop shouting insults."
After getting the affirmative look from the Fu brothers, Gu Xiao still pretended to be a showman and "unlocked" the acupuncture points on the chests of brothers Furui and Fukang. The two generals just snorted coldly and did not speak again.
Yu Lie didn't care and was about to continue speaking when he heard the sound of soldiers reporting from behind him.
"General Yu has returned to the city. It seems that these two are the two masters mentioned in General Yu's message. General, don't worry, I have sent people to report to General Shan. It can take as fast as one or two hours, or as slow as half a day. It will be fixed There is a reply."
When Yu Lie saw that he was the commander of the corps under his command, he immediately replied: "Assuming you have the eyesight, go and accompany the two distinguished guests for a walk in Yanbei City. After I get the order from the general, I will introduce you... Remember, don't You have neglected my two guests, otherwise it would be much worse for you."
After speaking, Yu Lie took out some pieces of silver from his arms, threw them to the captain, and continued: "Let's go to the city to find a place to stay first."
"Don't worry, General. The best in Yanbei City is none other than the Yunlai Inn. I'll invite the distinguished guests there..." The Wu Commander smiled happily after receiving the money.
Open it and put it in your arms.
Gu Xiao was beside him, but his mind was not on the conversation between Yu Lie and his soldiers. His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, trying to find a familiar figure.
"The Yunlai Inn is not good. You invite the distinguished guests to find another inn to stay in Beicheng." The soldiers did not know that the army was scheduled to stay at the Yunlai Inn, but Yu Lie knew it and immediately rejected the corps commander's request.
"With the order, I will lead the distinguished guests to you. General, don't worry." The commander of the corps issued the military order.
After Yu Lie ordered his team commanders, he turned around and saw the young man looking at Yanbei City in a daze. He only said that the young man had been in the world for many years and had never seen the magnificence of Yanbei City. He called out: "Brother Mu, Brother Mu."
Hearing the call, Gu Xiao turned his head and said with a smile: "General Yu is laughing at me. I have been in the Jianghu for many years. I first entered Yanbei and saw such a spectacular city, so I was a little lost."
With a hearty smile, Yu Lie said, "Brother, just relax and enjoy yourself. When my general gives orders, I will come to see you again."
Gu Xiao clasped his fists, as if he was worried about the Fu brothers behind him, and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, General, but these two General Fu..."
"Brothers, you can rest assured. The day of military regulations is approaching. General Shan will make arrangements for these two generals." Yu Lie glanced behind Gu Xiao, who was looking at Fukang and Furui coldly, and replied. .
Gu Xiao knew very well that at this time, Yu Lie had issued an order to expel guests. If he did not leave, he would become suspicious. He immediately said goodbye and said, "Since it is the general's good intention, it is better for my brother and sister to obey the order respectfully."
Then he looked back and coldly "threatened" the Fuji brothers: "I advise you two to be more honest in the city and don't mess around. Otherwise, maybe I will show up in your room at the third watch. I won't do it then." Show mercy."
Fukang didn't hear it, but Furui next to him heard the word "three updates" in the young man's mouth with a strong tone. He thought about it for a moment, and then understood the implication of the young man's words. He also sneered "ironically" and said: "In the patrol army, you are like this When the villain succeeds in a sneak attack, if we get another chance, my two brothers will be waiting for you to come back for advice."
Meeting Fu Rui's gaze, Gu Xiao knew that the general had understood what he meant, so he said no more, turned to Yu Lie, clasped his fists and said, "General Yu, my brother and sister will leave first."
...
After leaving Yu Lie for a while, while walking in Yanbei City, Gu Xiao finally felt a big stone in his heart. After entering Yanbei City, he would first meet up with Brother Yang, Miss Jiang and others, and then go to Yunlai Inn to find Xiaodouzi and others. , to retrieve Zangyue and other belongings...
Many things piled up in his mind, which made Gu Xiaojian frown. His starry eyes kept scanning the scenery in Yanbei City, and he thought to himself: "This Yanbei City is so big, how can we find Mr. Yun's whereabouts in this vast sea of people?"
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a figure flashing past the corner of the street. The figure was familiar. Although he tried his best to hide it with his long sleeves, at this moment, the spring breeze in the city suddenly blew up everyone's clothes, allowing Gu Xiao to catch a glimpse of the empty figure. Hanging right arm.
Star eyes suddenly shrank, and immediately the young man, with a rare coldness in his eyes, murmured.
"He Ji!"
