…
"Puff, puff, puff..."
The professionally trained Jinyiwei can be said to be clean and neat in their killing methods. Facing the Chu soldiers who had already lost their souls, they showed no sympathy at all and indifferently sent the Xiuchun knife into the vital points of these people.
"Uh~"
The Chu army officer's throat was cut off on the spot, and he felt the splash of blood from his throat. He wanted to shout but could not make any sound. He ended his life in endless pain and coldness.
The Jinyiwei is an intelligence agency under the direct leadership of Liu Ce, and is mainly responsible for collecting important intelligence on areas under the jurisdiction of enemy and local officials.
All of these people have been baptized by war and will only be loyal to Liu Ce. No one else can mobilize them.
The fifteen-man Chu army squad turned into cold corpses in just a dozen breaths, but there was no emotion at all on the faces of the Jin Yiwei.
For them, personal emotions have long been forgotten when performing tasks.
"Ugh~"
Smelling the pungent smell of blood, these surviving girls couldn't help but retched. Even Zhu Xuan was dripping with cold sweat and felt as if something was blocking her chest, which was very uncomfortable.
The Jin Yiwei indifferently wiped the embroidered spring knife in his hand. The leader of the Jin Yiwei, who was wearing a three-clawed blue dragon attire, glared at Zhu Xuan and slowly walked towards him with the knife in hand.
"Who are you?" Zhu Xuan was very nervous. The aura exuded by Jin Yiwei made him feel a suffocating depression sweeping through every pore of his body.
Suddenly, the man put the Xiuchun knife on his neck and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Who are they?"
Zhu Xuan swallowed hard, forced himself to calm down, and said to the leader of the Jinyi Guards: "I am Zhu Xuan, the deputy general of Hukou Pass. He just escaped from the prison camp. He met these women who were unable to protect themselves and wanted to take them out of Yongzhou City. .”
The leader of the Jin Yiwei looked directly into Zhu Xuan's eyes. After confirming that he was not lying, he put away his embroidered spring knife and said, "You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to live with these burdens? Huh, it's difficult!"
After speaking, the leader of the Jin Yiwei turned around and called his subordinates, saying: "The information has been sent to Chang'an. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Leave the city immediately."
"Here!"
After the subordinate responded in a deep voice, he immediately set off and walked towards the west gate.
"Your Excellency, can you take us with you?" Zhu Xuan hurriedly called to the leader of the Jinyi Guards, "I alone cannot guarantee the escape of these women. Please help me."
The leader of the Jin Yiwei looked back at Zhu Xuan, then at the beautiful girls, and asked with a soft hum, "Give me a reason to take you with me."
Zhu Xuan was silent for a moment and said proudly: "Because these are my great people, how can we ignore them and watch them being humiliated by thieves?"
The leader of the Jin Yiwei was startled, then stepped forward with a smile, patted his shoulder and said, "I am very satisfied with this reason."
After speaking, he pointed to the Chu army's weapons on the ground and said: "Pick up the weapons. From now on, you must continue to fulfill the obligations of the Han army and protect them from the sea of suffering. Follow up!"
Zhu Xuan's confidence greatly increased, and he immediately picked up the Chu army officer's sword and led the group of girls to follow closely behind the Jin Yiwei.
"Reporting to Zuo Qianhu, the information on the Ximen garrison has been ascertained. However, more than a hundred people have been stunned by us using anesthesia. There are about two-quarters of an hour before the changing of the guard, which is enough for us to evacuate."
"Without further ado, let's go!"
After getting the required information, Zuo Qianhu, the leader of Jinyiwei, immediately led everyone to the gate of Ximen City. The nine people worked together to lift down the heavy door latch, opened a door crack big enough for two people to enter and exit, and filed out one by one.
Just as Zuo Qianhu and Zhu Xuan were about to leave the city gate for the last time, they suddenly saw a huge fire rising from the direction of the granary.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Xuan was stunned for a long time, until Zuo Qianhu asked: "What's wrong? From the look on your face, you seem to know what the fire is about?"
Zhu Xuan nodded and sighed: "This is what my subordinate did. His name is Zhang Ting. Although he surrendered to the enemy yesterday, fortunately he found his way back and fulfilled his final duty."
Hearing this, Zuo Qianhu nodded: "He is a man. Let's go quickly. We can't stay here any longer. Don't worry, His Majesty will definitely take action after receiving the news from Yongzhou."
"Um!"
After Zhu Xuan took one last look in the direction of the granary, he resolutely followed Zuo Qianhu and left Yongzhou City.
After running for twenty miles, Zuo Qianhu was sure that there were no pursuers. When he saw that there was a trace of fish belly white in the sky, he ordered a temporary rest.
It's a pity that these girls have never exercised like this before. They were all out of breath from exhaustion. When they came to their senses, many girls hugged their knees and started crying.
This drastic change has completely changed the trajectory of their lives. Without the blessing of their parents and family, it is unknown where they will go next.
After a cup of tea, Zuo Qianhu said to Zhu Xuan: "I think you should be safe. Forty miles away from here is Suoyunguan Pass, where there are non-commissioned officers who graduated from the Jingwu School for internship.
As long as they are here, you will not have to worry about your life. I will not accompany you until I can return to Beijing to personally report to Your Majesty the situation in Yongzhou City, so that I can take care of myself. "
After finishing speaking, Zuo Qianhu stood up, called his subordinates, and prepared to go north.
"My benefactor, can you leave me your name and I will repay you in the future?" Zhu Xuan hurriedly thanked Zuo Qianhu with his hands in hand.
Hearing this, Zuo Qianhu walked up to Zhu Xuan with a serious face and said word for word: "Remember, you haven't seen me or don't know me, so just pretend you haven't met us. If you reveal our whereabouts, Hum, if I can save you, I can also make your life worse than death."
This was not a joke at all. Zhu Xuan nodded numbly and agreed.
Zuo Qianhu glanced at him again, left decisively with his subordinates, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
…
In Suoyun Pass, four hundred non-commissioned officers who graduated from the Far East Jingwu School gathered here, playing with the firecrackers, tiger cannons, and other firearms brought from the capital, talking and laughing among themselves.
An eighteen-year-old boy carefully wiped the inner wall of the gun tube, then skillfully chewed up a corner of the paper shell, poured in the black powder, and inserted a lead bullet along the way. He quickly used a bandage to seal it tightly. After inspection, After sitting on the stone, he immediately aimed at the outside of the pass.
This is an improved firearm from the Far East Military Factory. It is a flintlock gun. It does not have the burden of a long match rope. There are even riflings engraved on the inner wall of the barrel. It is no different from the bird blunderbuss used by the Ming Dynasty army in the previous life.
But compared to the musket, this flintlock gun has an extra butt that can shoot stably.
"Sun Xueyou, are you playing with your gun again?"
The companion who was greeting him at the side had polished a Tiger Cannon so brightly that he was grinning at him.
Sun Xueyou sighed, put down his gun, and said dissatisfiedly: "I really want to have a good fight with the barbarians outside the Great Wall, but I don't know if I will have this opportunity."
