Bai Guo pretended to be a caravan cooperating with Leping, and used the name of such a large caravan to enter Nanyue City to express his regret for his life. The soldiers guarding the gate of Hongliang Kingdom looked at the few people behind who showed fierceness and vigilance. Li Cheng, Bai Guo and others asked, "Where did it come from?"
"Cheng Zhou Kingdom." Bai Guo said these three words in Quan Kingdom's language, "The goods of the caravan must go this way, and the steward ordered me to explore the way back to the country."
The guard of Hongliang Kingdom was not surprised that it was Bai Guo who answered the question, because the status of women in Hongliang Kingdom has always been not much lower than that of men, and there are naturally not many who are engaged in business, not to mention the people he has seen from other countries in the past few years. Quite a few indeed.
The officers and soldiers of Hongliang Kingdom looked at Ging Guo for a few times, carefully checked the goods of Ging Guo and others, verified their identities, and then let them go.
At this critical moment, it seems that the only solution is to close the city or prohibit everyone from entering or exiting, but in fact, the wealthy people in the city have fled, and the poor people who remain are many people who don’t know where to go in the troubled times. They can only stay in the city, but like this The number is greater than the army.
The war continues, and so does life.
When Bai Guo and others entered the city, they saw a depressing scene. There were not many people on the countless streets, but there were always people lingering in front of the food stores.
Seeing a familiar scene, Bai Guo closed his eyes.
"It's too quiet in the city. We're afraid that we might ask..."
"Come with me for a walk in the city tonight." Bai Guo said, "Bring some food."
Li Cheng pursed his lips, "Coming from the direction of Chengzhou Kingdom is enough to attract the attention of the people of Hongliang Kingdom. If..."
"I know, but I'm afraid Yulan won't be able to wait any longer."
Bai Guo's voice was a little low and hoarse, "From the time she disappeared until now, the only person around her is An Jie, but how many soldiers can An Jie resist? It's hard for them to live or die. If I can find him... Their lives shouldn't be cut off, but what if I can't find them? Just go back like this?"
"The city Chengzhou conquered cost hundreds of thousands of lives and blood. My life was also saved by her and An Jie. I can't do anything to let them wait to die in despair, die in torture, and let the rumors in a foreign country They are crying, I am here to take them home."
The extremely calm voice slowly narrated the determination in her heart, which was irrefutable.
"If they learn that someone is spying on Yulan and Ansuke, what will Supervisor Bai do?"
As soon as Yi Jian asked, Li Cheng glared angrily. Recalling that Yi Jian had asked them to bring Ging Guo out in just two words before, now he agreed to put Ging Guo in danger!
Among so many people, only Yi Jian was seriously thinking about Bai Guo's words and wanted to ensure that this road was as safe as possible.
"Li Cheng, when you persuade me now, are you saying that my status is important now, or are you trying to say that Yu Lan and An Jie are not worthy?"
What was different from the last time was that this time Bai Guo actually asked Li Cheng directly about his disapproval.
"No, my subordinates are only worried about Supervisor Bai's safety!"
"What if you were the one in Yulan's situation today? Do you want me to..."
"I hope Supervisor Bai will stay at Chengzhou Junior High School forever and not take any risks!"
Li Cheng spoke with determination and sharpness, and his oppressive gaze turned away from Yi Jian and fell on Ging Guo.
Li Cheng felt that Gingo should have understood what he said, but the next second he heard what he least wanted to hear.
"If I had listened to this advice, there wouldn't be Supervisor Bai today."
Bai Guo said with a smile: "I am cautious just to show weakness, but I am not really weak."
The momentum of the last sentence made Li Cheng stunned. She was still smiling when she looked at Ging Guo.
That night, Li Cheng, Yi Jian and others protected Ging Guo as they walked in the alley, but they still didn't deal with it. Ging Guo used a hairpin to draw something on the green bricks from time to time, and then went to other places again.
It was so strange and it was still at night during the war. It only took half an hour for a patrol of officers and soldiers to notice it. There were three people in the group, because more people had been transferred to the front line.
Li Cheng and Yi Jian grasped the daggers at their waists in a tacit understanding. When the officers and soldiers approached and were about to take action amidst the scolding, they heard Ging Guo cough lightly, and the two lowered their hands.
"What for?!"
"Master Bing, please don't be nervous. The little girl is the steward of the Li family's caravan. When she entered the city during the day, she lost a gold hairpin and was afraid that someone would pick it up at dawn, so she came out in the middle of the night." Bai Guo's voice was very thin, usually clear. There is some unspeakable temptation at this moment.
The soldier glanced at Ging Guo warily, but in the night, even if the torch was brighter, it could not illuminate Ging Guo who was blocked by Li Cheng.
"What are you looking for?! Go back quickly!"
The three of them loosened the knives in their hands, and continued to scold Li Cheng, pushing Li Cheng and illuminating Ging Guo behind him with firelight.
Li Cheng resisted at first, and then seeing the strong attitude of the three of them, they seemed to be scared. They squeezed him away and walked past him, but Yi Jian was also beside him.
The movement of the knife across the throat only revealed a hint of chill in the firelight, and the pain did not even have time to be conveyed when the warm blood gushes out.
The sound of three corpses falling was heavy and insignificant in the night. Gingo gently wiped the blood stains on the back of his hand with a handkerchief, and moved his eyes indifferently from the ground to the slightly noisy house.
"There are three gold hairpins. If you can't find the little girl, you will be sad." Bai Guo's voice was sad, "What's more, the goods haven't been sold yet. The little girl doesn't like to go back empty-handed."
The house was quiet, and the previous sounds were like illusions. Bai Guo did not take Li Cheng and Yi Jian to another alley for a long time, but he met the guard here just a street away.
Bai Guo watched the two drunkards stumbling over quietly, and listened to them asking who they were.
Li Cheng took the first step and tied up the patrolman who was obviously taller than the three people, and dragged the person into the darkness of the alley in one swift movement.
His actions were rough and unceremonious. No matter how much alcohol he drank, he should have sobered up at this moment.
The first thing that came to mind when the two were training was that after the first two cities fell, Zhou Kingdom came to attack! There was no hesitation for a moment, and both of them knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "We surrender! We surrender! Spare our lives! Spare our lives!"
Too much fear will make people lose their minds, so that in a completely silent environment, even though there is only their begging for mercy, they still strengthen their thoughts.
Li Chenghu suddenly had an idea and covered his mouth with one hand. He pressed the person with his other hand and plunged the dagger in his hand into the opponent's arm. There was no scream, but the sound of cold sweat dripping could be heard.
"How many tens of thousands of troops did you send to Changzhong City?"
Li Cheng did not ask directly, but asked some questions that he already knew.
"Thirty...thirty thousand!" The person next to him shook his body in response to Li Cheng's words.
"Who is the general in charge?"
"General Qi Zheng!"
"How many generals do you have?"
"Fifteen of the troops!"
"What are you responsible for?!"
"General Zuo outflanks, General Zheng robs the retreat, Generals Li, Ba, and Min charge!"
"Who killed the most people?"
"General Li!"
"Why?"
"He reached the wounded barracks! Everyone in the wounded barracks died by his hands!"
Li Cheng looked at Bai Guo and saw Bai Guo put the blood-stained handkerchief into his arms and said in the same voice as usual: "Who else?"
"And..." Patrol hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the dagger was about to reach his arm, he immediately shouted: "And General Botu!"
"The soldiers he led found the wounded barracks, but General Botu did not take action! It was General Rangli who persuaded him to surrender!"
Botu.
"Are all the people in the wounded barracks dead?"
This was Li Cheng's inquiry, and he asked knowingly.
"All... all dead..." Patrol's voice trembled.
Not because of lying, but because the three words "all dead" refer to the soldiers and generals of the Zhou Kingdom.
The dagger in Li Cheng's hand pressed hard on the patrol, "All dead?"
"..." Patrol trembled, "Maybe... maybe there are still survivors."
"Where are the people?"
In just two words, Gingo's attention was completely focused.
"No...I don't know...It was too chaotic that day. If anyone knows, only General Li will know."
I already know almost everything I want to know. The last sentence should be——
"Where is General Li?"
…
At dawn, there began to be movement everywhere in the city.
But the biggest news came from the four dead patrols. Many soldiers and generals in the city passed by, and all the people hid.
Bai Guo went against the generals and sat on the first floor of the inn having breakfast, listening to the discussions among the businessmen.
There were various speculations, and there were also suspicions that the Chengzhou Kingdom had actually invaded, so that in the afternoon many people left and the inn became empty.
Occasionally, Baiguo would take goods around and sell them to stores that needed them. However, he was still willing to bargain, unlike other caravans who were eager to ship goods. He even took action to collect goods from other companies, so as to It's just that the price of food no longer continues to be low.
It can be said that the actions of this day should have attracted some people from the government, but in fact, all the actions of Ginkgo on this day were smooth but not unexpected at all.
Tu Ji, who sold all the food in his hands, returned to the inn and handed the hidden letter to Ging Guo.
"The caravan said that a few sneaky people came in and out of General Li's mansion today. They also said that most of the soldiers and generals in the city have been transferred to guard around his mansion. But looking at this distribution, I want to Catching turtles in an urn."
Li Cheng and Yi Jian gathered around to look at the drawings, which showed the various places where soldiers would be stationed. As Tu Ji said, the distribution seemed to be for protection, but in fact the people in the dark were afraid of killing them.
"I deliberately clashed with other caravans and beat up twenty-three of them. When the officers and soldiers came, I knocked them all down. When General Li came with his soldiers, I saw him hanging up by one arm, but Before I left, I made sure that no one from the Hongliang Kingdom was injured in that battle except for the two generals who fought against Dudu Pang."
Yi Jian was involved in danger today, but Hongliang Kingdom calmed down the matter.
Li Zheng, who had not dealt with Yi Jian these days, snorted coldly and said to Bai Guo: "I checked the whereabouts of General Botu. He was seriously injured in the battle with Governor Pang in the earliest days and is recovering. It was more than a month before he went to the battlefield again, but after this battle, General Botu retreated to the rear for a day and had his residence arranged."
