It was the fifth day in a blink of an eye. Qingyan took a nap and waited to see if there would be any action at the North City Gate in the evening.
Finally, she waited until the end of the ugly hour, which was around three in the morning. This is when people are most sleepy. She kept looking at the dark area outside the city with her spiritual consciousness, and Qingyan was a little confused.
Fortunately, as soon as the time came, there was movement outside. A motorcade came from far and near. The first carriage had a double-headed torch.
This is a carriage convoy with a total of six carriages. There are carriages on the carriages. They are the same carriages as Qingyan's donkey carriage before. I don't know what is inside. The horses pulling the carriages don't look very strenuous. The contents should not be Something heavy.
Qingyan curiously put her consciousness into the carriage, and was shocked to see that there were actually wolves inside!
This...could it be that the wolves trained by the beast masters that we saw on the border were not used for sneak attacks during battles, but were used to deal with Qinzhou City?
If they are allowed to enter the city at this time and directly enter the residences of various officials, they may indeed succeed.
It seems that the news of the arrests of those inside and outside the city has not spread, at least these people do not know, otherwise they will not proceed according to the original plan.
The soldiers who were ambushing on the tower were also a little surprised. They thought that everyone here had been arrested. The news might have been passed on, and there would be no further action over there.
Unexpectedly, the double-headed torch appeared. They did not dare to be careless, fearing that the other party would also redeploy, so they called all the people who were preparing to secretly support them to lie in ambush at the city gate, preparing to capture the six carriages as soon as they came in.
Here, they also used torches to signal each other on the tower, and when they were ready below, they opened the door.
What is opened is the side door next to the main gate of the city gate. The main gate is only opened when the Soldiers Gate is out for battle. Normally people go in and out through the side doors on both sides, one in and one out.
This side door is also very wide, the kind that can accommodate a widened carriage. There is also a small door on this side door that can only allow one person to pass through, which is used to enter and exit the city gate in an emergency.
Generally, only those with approval documents or pass tokens can enter and exit. It does not mean that after the city gate is locked, you have to wait until the next morning before you can go out. If there is an emergency, it will be delayed, so it will be Leave such a small door open.
When all six carriages entered the city gate, the soldiers ambush on both sides swarmed up and surrounded the carriages!
A man wearing a black hooded cloak emerged from the carriage with a double-headed torch. The hood was placed on his head, and the brim of the hat was pressed very low. With the current dark light, even if there was a torch, Even under the firelight, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
Chou Chou recognized the other person at a glance as the man who tamed wolves at the border, and said to Qingyan: "I didn't expect that I haven't paid attention to that place in the past few days. This man has brought wolves to Qinzhou City. That's it." Doesn’t that count as throwing yourself into a trap?”
Qingyan: "Why doesn't it count? We had already forgotten about him, thinking that the news had been revealed, and the generals over there should have been prepared, or had thought of some way to deal with it.
As a result, this guy stopped staying at the border and actually came here, taking the wolf with him, which made things difficult for him.
I don’t know how he passed through Yunling County with so many wolves. Could there be their internal agents there? "
Obviously not only she thought of this, but Chou Chou also thought of it, and Wang Kaiyuan, who was in charge of the command at the city gate, also thought of it.
When Li Hanqin went to the garrison to tell him about the appearance of a beast master at the border, Vice Admiral Wang and others were there, including Wang Kaiyuan.
So when the man came out and directed the wild wolves in the six carriages to come out, they also thought about this problem while fighting the wild wolves.
Is this the beast master from the border? How did the wolf with so many cars come here through Yunling County?
There must have been some internal support from the other party along the way. This discovery is even more serious than a beast master leading a wolf into the city!
The wild wolves were well-trained, and they were ordered to attack and retreat in an orderly manner.
These ambush soldiers were all good soldiers selected from the army, and they had weapons such as swords and guns in their hands, so it was a draw for a while, and there were no casualties on either side.
However, because the wolves were not running amok, but were supporting each other in an organized manner, the soldiers soon began to decline.
Qingyan quickly asked Chou Chou to help, otherwise the wolves would scatter and run away, and the people of Beicheng would suffer.
Of course, Chou Chou would not look at it. Although it was also a beast, it still had no closeness to wild wolves. Zhu Yan, who only had one person in the world, did not classify himself with beasts. Instead, he felt that Humans are more approachable.
Because it relies on the negative emotions generated by humans to cultivate, it will still help humans.
It did not directly deal with the wolves, but only released some coercion, and the attack speed of the wild wolves slowed down, and the reaction was also somewhat delayed.
This was enough. The soldiers took this opportunity to take action quickly. Some of the wild wolves were attacking. The soldiers had no time to withdraw their weapons, and the wild wolves were killed directly.
Some had their mouths and limbs tied up with ropes by the soldiers and put back on the carriage.
They were originally here to arrest people, so they must have been prepared. They had prepared a lot of hemp ropes and the like.
The drivers who were driving the carriages were caught at the first opportunity and bundled into the carriage.
When the beast master saw that the situation was bad, he wanted to run away, but it was too late and he was quickly subdued by several soldiers.
To be honest, his skills as a beast master were quite good, and it actually took four soldiers to subdue him.
I saw that people were not just taming animals, they were quite demanding of themselves.
After both the man and the wolf were taken away, Wang Kaiyuan also went to the garrison mansion to report the matter.
Qingyan wanted to probe her consciousness out of the city to see if there was anyone else responding outside, but she found that her consciousness couldn't reach it.
Her consciousness has not grown at all during this period. Before going to bed at night, she will use the spirit stone to run her mental method to charge the spirit stone, and the spirit stone will also give feedback, so her consciousness can now cover four miles. The area to the left and right of the ground, if you couldn't see the north city gate before.
I had to let Chou Chou take a look. Not far from the North City Gate was a mountain road that could lead directly over the mountain to a state capital in the north. It would also be very convenient to ambush people inside.
Chou Chou looked over obediently, and then said: "There is no ambush over there, but a large group of wild beasts!
There are wolves, bears, and leopards. I don’t know how they manage to coexist peacefully. They are all staying in the forest now. "
Qingyan: "!!!"
"There can't be another beast master! This beast master has been caught, and he should not be able to command the beasts outside anymore.
Besides, at such a long distance, unless he also has spiritual consciousness, how can he control it remotely? "
Chou Chou: "There was a dummy tied with straw poking there. The clothes on his body were the same as that man's. He should have been wearing something smelly like medicinal powder, so those beasts were lying down obediently. Around that dummy.”
Qingyan frowned, "Didn't he control the wolves by blowing a strange whistle before? Now he changed it to drugs? It's rare that he is not the same person as the one at the border, but he is just dressed the same, so you admit it?"
Chou Chou shook his head, "Impossible. I don't recognize people by their clothes. Even their appearance may not always be accurate. If people are similar, I rely on their aura. That's what makes them unique.
This person is the one at the border before. It is possible that he knows more than one method of controlling animals, and some of them rely on drugs to control them. "
Qingyan: "Yes, this person has good kung fu and should be a relatively knowledgeable person.
Can you deal with those beasts outside? Just drive them away. Let them go into the mountains or return to their previous habitat. They are not willing to be manipulated by others. "
Chou Chou: "Okay, no problem, I'll just use coercion to drive them away. There are too many and I'm too lazy to send messages one by one."
Its sound transmission is one-to-one, and there is no way to chat in a group, so it can only be driven away with coercion.
By the time Chou Chou said that he had rushed into the mountains, more than half an hour had passed.
Qingyan asked curiously: "Since that man hid the wild beasts outside, why did he bring six cars of wolves in? What is their plan? Why can't I understand it at all?"
Chou Chou: "I don't understand either. I should be able to know the answer when Deputy General Wang interrogates. It's already past four o'clock. You go to bed first. I'll keep an eye on that side and I'll tell you the result."
Qingyan nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
She had been sleepy for a long time. If the situation over there hadn't been a bit weird and made her use her brain to wake up, she would have been unable to bear it.
After the two stopped talking to each other, Qingyan fell asleep soon after.
The next morning, Li Muxue came to call her and she just got up. Sure enough, she slept too late and felt uncomfortable in the morning. She was in a daze all morning.
She had already arranged today's training sessions for Li Hanyun and Li Muxue, and Chou Chou just sent a message to her that they had been found out from the trial over there.
The purpose of the beast master's visit was indeed to bring the wolves in to catch the garrison off guard and prepare a sneak attack at night. If that didn't work, he would let in the wild beasts outside.
As long as Qinzhou City is captured, when Yunzhou sends troops over, they can be stopped directly.
The beast control master said that he had planned to use these on the battlefield before, but the details in the military camp came back with news that they already knew about their extraordinary troops, so they could not continue.
After all, this can only be effective if it is unexpected. If the opponent is prepared, the effect will not be so good.
Afterwards, they formulated this plan again, using internal agents to put the beasts into the city, and then use the beasts to assassinate the generals, soldiers and some officials in the city. In this way, their people would take over the city, which would cut off the retreat on the other side of the border. Also intercepted the support here.
After hearing this plan, Qingyan felt that it was a bit simple, rough and rough. But if they hadn't known about it in advance and were prepared, they would have succeeded without warning.
After all, no one could imagine that the opponent would bring wild beasts to attack the city, or use a sneak attack from inside and outside, so this was considered a good strategy.
If Aunt Chen hadn't accidentally met Qingyan, and she and Chou Chou had a cheat, she might have been able to successfully capture Qinzhou City.
Knowing this, Qingyan felt that General Li and Vice General Wang should be able to handle the next matter, and she planned to stay for two more days before leaving.
At least it is guaranteed that those beasts will not be summoned back again, and the captured wild wolves will be dealt with properly. The other spies lurking in the city will have to be dealt with by themselves.
Of course, they will also provide appropriate guidance. They must expose the old doctor and Aunt Chen before leaving, otherwise it will be a hidden danger if they stay.
In the next two days, Qingyan carefully explained some things that needed to be paid attention to when practicing martial arts, so as to prevent Li Muxue from hurting his body by jumping in without any foundation.
There is no need to say more about Li Hanyun. He has Master Wu watching over him, so there is a high probability that there will be no problem.
In this way, on the third day, almost all the related officials in the city were found out by Deputy General Wang. Aunt Chen, the old doctor and the man who sent the message were also arrested. Wang Tongjian was still embarrassed for this. He was almost sent to the capital together and was punished by the officials.
It was still the prefect's efforts to ensure that Vice General Wang's side had indeed found out that he had no connection with him, so he could continue to serve.
However, his home is still under surveillance, and if he makes any move, he will be discovered immediately.
The other one is the scar-faced man who met the abbot at Qingyuan Temple before. He refused to recruit him for the purpose of coming here. When the beast control master made a mistake, he was betrayed.
He is the one who will take over Qinzhou City after the Beast Controller takes over it. This city cannot be taken over alone, and it needs someone to manage it, so he is the one who will manage it.
His name is Li Derong, and he is the cousin of King Li Deming of Xia and the cousin of Li Yuanhao. According to him, he did not go to the battlefield because of his average military ability, but was sent here instead.
Unexpectedly, he was not successful at the beginning and was arrested as soon as he arrived.
Not only him, but the abbot of Qingyuan Temple also had problems, and Yang Dashan, the man who built the temple, was also implicated.
It is said that Yang Dashanren's grandfather was exiled here because Shangfeng was found to be a collaborator with the enemy and was implicated. No conclusive evidence of crime was found in his family, otherwise he would have been executed just like Fengfeng.
Unexpectedly, they were either implicated at all or were actual participants. Although it was considered a matter of the previous dynasty, supposedly it had already changed dynasties several times, so there should be no need to mention it again.
But who said that their family used to be collaborators with foreigners? Now that there is no unified world, they are still colluding. Isn’t this still treason? So even if they pulled out the carrots and brought them out of the mud, the Yang Dashan family who had moved away did not escape. Yes, they were all arrested.
Qingyan felt that this was really unexpected. All the monks in Qingyuan Temple were arrested and needed to be interrogated. The temple has also been sealed. It is estimated that they will need to be searched to see if there is anything inside that should not be there. thing.
