The spring breeze in Yanbei City could not blow away the murderous intent of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers in front of Shanfu Gate. There were more than a hundred elite soldiers, all heavily armored, with solemn expressions. Even if a little dust picked up by the spring wind blew onto the faces of these soldiers, they remained Maintaining a concentrated posture, motionless.
Looking at these elite soldiers, Shan Bin felt a little at ease. These more than a hundred people were soldiers he had carefully selected and carefully trained for many years. They were absolutely loyal to him. They could even lay down their lives for him at any time with his own order.
"Have you ever found out how far the Jin army is from Yanbei City?" Remembering that the Jin envoy said that the Jin cavalry had already set off, Shan Bin's worry faded away and he turned to ask the captain of his own group of soldiers.
"This is a ten-day journey, but the scouts reported that Jin's cavalry has advanced at full speed. It is estimated that they will invade our country in three days." The soldier spoke without any emotion. The world-famous and feared cavalry is in this school. There was no fear in Wei's eyes.
Shan Bin did not speak, but nodded slightly, signaling the captain to follow him, then turned and walked into the mansion. There were not many servants in the mansion, or they had already left the mansion under Shan Bin's instruction.
After passing through the corridors and reaching the study room, Shan Bin signaled the military commander to follow him in and closed the door.
The captain didn't know his general's intentions, but he still looked calm and showed no signs of panic. Because he was not afraid, he was not confused. In his eyes, even if General Shan ordered him to draw a knife and kill himself immediately, he would never blink an eye.
Shan Bin saw the captain's expression in his eyes, moved his eyes slightly, and turned the topic to the Jin envoy: "How long has he been there?"
"It has been more than half an hour, and I have complied with the general's order. I have not sent anyone to follow me." The captain still spoke calmly and reported truthfully.
Shan Bin heard the words and praised: "Well done, the Jin envoy is cautious, and he is a master of martial arts. The slightest movement will arouse his vigilance."
"The general doesn't know anything else but obeys the general's orders. The general praises him, but these subordinates cannot afford it." The captain's words were extremely plain and indifferent.
Shan Bin looked at the captain who had been following him for many years, with admiration in his eyes. He also thought of the knives he had blocked for him over the years and the suffering he had endured. He sighed and said hesitantly: "You and your hundred brothers... "
"General! The lives of us brothers are given by the general. Others may not know what the general wants to do, but we brothers can already guess a thing or two. But the brothers have no complaints and are willing to follow the general..." Wei's tone was calm and his eyes were firm.
Shan Bin was not surprised when he heard what the captain said. These brothers had been following him for many years. The Jin envoy had been in the mansion all the time since he entered Yanbei. These brothers were also his confidants. As long as he was not stupid, he should have guessed it long ago.
When he raised his eyes, Shan Bin had a slight murderous intent in his eyes, looking at the captain with uncertain eyes.
The captain had been on the battlefield for a long time and had followed Shan Bin for many years. How could he not see that his own general had murderous intent in his eyes? However, the captain did not change his gaze and maintained his previous calm posture, waiting calmly across his sword.
In the study room, it was even quiet. Even if a pin dropped to the ground, you could hear it clearly. The captain could clearly feel the murderous intention flowing from the general. But after a cup of tea, the murderous intention suddenly disappeared. Suddenly, the general's voice no longer seemed as high-spirited as before, but seemed a little depressed.
"Let's go, by the way... You have to send people to keep a close eye on those swordsmen and axemen. They are not like your brothers... I'm worried that they are impatient. The generals in the Yanbei camp are all veterans. Once the clues are revealed and the matter is exposed, I am afraid something bad will happen.”
The captain knelt on one knee to receive the military order, but he was very worried about his general. He raised his eyes for a moment and saw that the general had already stood up. He took out a sealed letter from his arms and handed it to the general. He then issued the order: "Send a capable person. When you go to the medicine shop, be sure to hand this letter over to General Gao personally. Remember, you cannot hand this letter over to anyone other than Gao Deng himself."
"Have an order!"
The captain stood up, followed the order and left. The moment he opened the door, sunlight came into the study and shone directly on Shan Bin, seeming to illuminate the back of the Yanbei commander.
Feeling the warmth behind him, Shan Bin felt the burden in his heart ease a little, looked out the window to the south and murmured: "The chess game is in full swing, and the outcome is about to be decided."
While he was muttering, he suddenly heard the sound of a horn coming from the north. After a while, the sound of the horn changed its rhythm again. Shan Bin's eyes showed a little solemnity, and he thought
Yan opened his mouth and said, "We finally entered the city."
When he opened his mouth, there was a message from someone in the mansion outside the study, and he asked Lie to see him. Shan Bin took back his thoughts, thought for a moment, and then ordered the message.
Yu Lie came in after receiving the order, his face full of joy: "General Shan, great news..."
——
Also looking to the sky and talking to himself, there was the Jin envoy in Tongguxuan at this time. The Jin envoy who had planned to keep an eye on Shan Bin's house before the trip was actually visited by Wang Heng in person, talking about the young man's whereabouts in the city, and then to Tonggu What happened in Xuanzhong, my mind suddenly changed, and I suddenly realized that what happened here was not simple.
After weighing the situation, we decided to give up monitoring Shan Bin for the time being and return to Tongguxuan with Wang Heng. After thinking about it, if the young man who ruined the plan of Jin Dao Sect Yan Bei in Wang Heng's mouth was really as Wang Heng and Xu Mo said, Realizing that this young man is a threat to Yanbei, he must not be allowed to leave Tonggu Xuan.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he heard that the shopkeeper said that they had given each other the starting light ancient sword, but no young man was left behind. Wang Heng was furious and was about to punish the shopkeeper, but was stopped by the Jin envoy, who instead praised the shopkeeper for not alerting the enemy.
On the way back to Tongguxuan with the Jin envoy, Wang Heng had learned from the Jin envoy that the affairs in Yanbei were under control. What he had to do now was to stabilize the overall situation and assist Shan Bin in completing the attack on these Yanbei generals. Wang Heng was not angry when he was stopped by the Jin envoy because he was on a raiding and killing mission. Instead, he was uneasy and respectfully asked for advice.
"Sir, can you believe Shan Bin? It is said that Shan Bin personally led the army to loot Wanjun's mansion. So, Shan Bin must have obtained the order of Emperor Qi Yun. How could such generals do this? easily..."
The meaning behind Wang Heng's words was clear. In his heart, he had never let down his guard against Shan Bin. However, when he looked at the Jin envoy's face, he became more solemn as he spoke, and by the time he finished speaking, he had gradually become inaudible.
The Jin envoy's mind was racing. Wang Heng's words were not unfounded. Shan Bin's surrender was too smooth. First Gao Deng defected, then Chen Mo pretended to be Gao Deng's personal soldier and entered the city. Now that young man entered Tongguxuan. Detective, are they related? Is it just a coincidence?
"No, there can never be such a coincidence. The young man almost killed Wang Heng in Gao Deng's army, but at this critical moment he entered Yanbei City and reached Tongguxuan all the way. It seems that we need to be careful. ..”
The Jin envoy thought for a moment and then said to Wang Heng beside him: "The plan is about to change. The day after tomorrow is the day of military regulations. You gather people and lay an ambush in the city. I will sound the arrow as a signal. There is no need to worry about Yun Lai. For the inn, just set fires everywhere in the city to cause a commotion."
"What do you want when you come to Yunlai Inn?" Wang Heng asked.
"Although those generals are all good at martial arts, no one is my rival. Once I find out that something is fishy, I will run away immediately. They can't stop me... As for Chen Mo, it's best if he can catch up with me. Eighteen years It's time to avenge all the previous grievances." Jin's eyes showed coldness and he sneered.
Then he remembered the young man's evening appointment, and immediately ordered: "Young master, please call Elder Xu and lie in wait in the backyard. I will meet this young man tonight."
The coldness in Wang Heng's eyes gradually grew. That slap almost killed him. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but said bitterly: "This is very good. It can just avenge the slap that day."
...
The sun was turning, and it was already midnight, and there were still few pedestrians on the street. If it were a normal day, there would be few guests under the city's lockdown. The shopkeeper of the medicine shop would have already made hot tea and enjoyed the rare afternoon sunshine in front of the door.
But today, the medicine shop is very busy. That man Gao Deng is not an easy man to serve. Back then, he turned Yanbei City upside down. If General Wan hadn't come forward, I'm afraid this idiot would have destroyed Yanbei City. It won't stop until it's completely disrupted.
This time, he returned to Yanbei with the seriously injured general, went straight to his medicine shop, and asked for the precious snow ginseng. Although the shopkeeper did not want to hand over such precious medicinal materials to this straw bag, he looked at the dying general and held the hope of healing and saving lives. He reluctantly took out the medicinal materials and gave them to the doctor invited by the soldiers.
As the life-extending medicine was boiled into soup, it was poured into the mouth of Xu An, who was already turning blue. After a while, a little blood gradually appeared on his face, and he finally showed signs of waking up after falling into a coma.
When Gao Deng, who had been waiting by the side to help Lao Chen bandage his wounds, saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked the long-bearded old doctor: "Doctor, what's wrong with me?"
brother..."
"General, don't worry, General Xu's life has been saved...but..." the old doctor stroked his beard and spoke, took his hand away from Xu An's wrist, and replied respectfully.
"It's just what? Don't dawdle." Gordon couldn't bear his temper and asked.
"General, don't panic. What I'm saying is that General Xu has lost too much blood after all. It's best not to march in the army again and get bumpy immediately." The old doctor saw Gordon's eyebrows standing up and hurriedly explained.
Hearing this, Gao Deng finally felt relieved. He had finished bandaging his hands, but he heard a scream from beside him. He looked sideways and realized that it was his unintentional hand that was a little heavy, which caused Lao Chen to scream in agony. .
Perhaps it was because Xu An's injury had been suppressed for too long. With his mind relaxed, Gordon not only felt no guilt, but actually joked about Lao Chen: "After all, he is a tough guy in my patrol, but this time he is as bitter and miserable as his daughter's house." , how dignified it is.”
"General Gao is easy to talk about. Try this dagger piercing through your shoulder blade. If you try harder, it won't hurt." When Lao Chen saw Xu An, whose breathing had gradually stabilized, he also felt relieved and joked to Gao Deng, He didn't reply angrily.
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed loudly. Seeing this, the doctor also stood up and went to write a prescription, which he gave to Gordon and the two of them. They told him to follow the doctor's instructions carefully and take the medicine on time for Xu An to get better day by day. . The two Gordons dared not slack off, so they hurriedly took the prescription respectfully.
After sending the old doctor away, Xu An's life was saved. Gao Deng thought of what happened in Yanbei City, and the joy on his face suddenly disappeared. He turned to Lao Chen and said, "What should we do with Shan Bin?"
"Lu Can appears in Yanbei, just like he did eighteen years ago. He must be heading towards our Yanbei City. At this time, General Wan is not here, and the Yanbei camp is leaderless. Now is the time of emptiness... It is better to follow the military rules On that day, in front of the Yanbei generals, the identity of the Jin envoy will be exposed on the spot, and then the truth will naturally come out." Lao Chen Xiance said.
Hearing this, Gordon shook his head lightly and said, "There is no evidence, and you are a member of our army. Even if you are exposed in public, no one will believe it."
Old Chen said anxiously: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Could it be possible that we can just watch these generals in Yanbei..."
Just as he was about to speak eagerly, through the window, he saw a person not far away walking quickly to the medicine shop. There were not many guests under the lockdown, and the air was still cold in early spring. There were beads of sweat on this person's face, and his eyes were old. He was sharp and could tell at a glance that this person's kung fu was definitely not ordinary people's. He immediately winked at Gao Deng beside him.
Gordon understood immediately, and the two of them hurriedly covered the window of the medicine shop, leaving a gap to observe this person's movements.
The visitor carried him into the medicine shop. He looked around and did not find the plump figure. However, the soldiers under Gordon's command who were guarding the medicine shop realized that this man did not look like an ordinary person seeking medical treatment. They immediately gathered around and asked. .
When the visitor saw that there was no one else in the medicine shop except Gao Deng's soldiers, he did not shy away and spoke in a low voice to the leading soldier, the captain.
Gao Deng, who was hiding in the inner hall of the medicine shop, saw that his own soldier, the captain, frowned upon hearing this, so he knew that something was not simple, so he nodded slightly to the soldier who was looking sideways at his inner hall, indicating that he should be led into the inner hall. ..
