The sudden change in Baima garrison did not spread in the market due to the suppression of the army, but the military newspaper had already spread the matter throughout Fengsui.
Xu Xiangli naturally knew this.
He tilted his head and looked at Han Changmu, with a gloomy look on his face and a fearful light in his eyes.
This person is obviously not a member of the military. He should not know what is written in the military newspaper. How did he know it?
His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and he sneered: "So you are a spy of the Turks."
Yao Yao held his forehead.
What kind of brain circuit is this? It's so strange. It's so strange that it makes people speechless.
Han Changmu looked calm and smiled calmly: "Guard Xu does not need to use his troops on me deceitfully. If I were a spy of the Turks, I would definitely not go to the guard and throw myself into a trap."
Xu Xiangli was originally half-truth and half-deception to deceive Han Changmu. Seeing his calm and determined look, he was naturally convinced and still sneered with a certain amount of doubt: "Since Han Changshi denies that he is a spy, How did you learn about this secret in the military? Could it be that Han Changshi did this?"
Han Changmu, who had always been calm, looked filled with anger and despair when he heard these words.
Yao Yao looked sideways and pursed his lips tightly to hold back his laughter.
If you make someone mad, you won't pay for your life. This can be regarded as meeting your opponent in chess.
Han Changmu slowly exhaled a breath, his voice was muffled, but he spoke loudly: "On the day of the incident in Baima garrison, a group of us happened to stay in the inn, and we saw the garrison hanging on the tree in the morning, and on the day of the incident in Changle County, , we happened to be passing by.”
After saying that, he himself was stunned. Not to mention Xu Xiangli, even he himself felt that among these things, he was the biggest suspect.
However, Xu Xiangli had a joking expression on his face and laughed heartily: "Han Changshi is quite honest." He narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing: "Han Changshi just says what he has to say, there is no need to hide it."
Han Changmu nodded and continued slowly: "On the day of the attack in Changle County, there was a Sabao caravan heading towards Changle County. However, when we arrived and helped the Prime Minister of Tan County deal with the aftermath, we did not find this caravan. Caravan." He paused slightly and his voice became a little urgent: "There is an old man and a girl in this caravan. We once boarded the same building ship with him and found that they were moving around very sneakily."
Xu Xiangli sneered secretly.
His whereabouts were sneaky, and he became even more sneaky when he saw Han Changmu.
Han Changmu didn't know Xu Xiangli's secret murmur, so he just continued: "These two people, and the Sabao caravan, also came here when they were having a meal, and stayed in the wine shop."
"What." Xu Xiangli exclaimed, his expression changed, he couldn't sit still anymore, and suddenly stood up.
Although from the verbal description, Han Changmu is more suspicious, but if you think about it carefully, there is actually another mystery.
Although he was rigid, he was thoughtful and said without much thought: "What Han Changshi means is that Sabao's caravan is coming for the Fifth Beacon."
Han Changmu shook his head: "I'm not sure, but it is necessary to nip it in the bud."
Xu Xiangli understood that no one could make a conclusion on this matter without grasping the facts.
He said in a deep voice: "If Han Changshi has any plans, just tell him."
Han Changmu smiled and spoke with a sense of propriety: "The arrangement is absolutely unacceptable. The freedom of the garrison was mobilized by Xu garrison officer. There is no doubt that I brought five people and left four in the wine shop. Looking at the movements of Sabao and his party, as for me and my maid, we will obey the orders of Officer Xu."
Hearing Han Changmu mentioning himself, Yao Yao, who had always lowered his head and acted like a transparent person, quickly raised his head and looked at the two people blankly. He clearly didn't hear what they just said, but he still nodded with a serious face.
Xu Xiangli was quite satisfied with Han Changmu's knowledge and sense. Under such circumstances, he still kept his true intentions and did not cross the line even half a step. He did not take the opportunity to inquire about the establishment of the garrison, nor did he give instructions on the deployment of the garrison. He nodded repeatedly and expressed great appreciation. .
Although he was just a small school captain, his identity, background and official rank were not comparable to the long history of Prince Han's palace, but he did not belittle himself. After all, he knew the things about the Fifth Beacon best and his words were the most effective.
He originally couldn't instruct the Chief of the Han Palace to do anything, but after Han Changmu said this, it was related to the survival of Fifth Feng, so he did what he wanted. He calmed down for a moment, and said without being humble or arrogant: "In this way, I will guard the fort. The arrangements are in place, and there is a long history of Lao Han in the wine shop."
It sounds like he obviously regards Han Changmu as one of his own.
Han Changmu did not refuse. He turned to Yao Yao and said, "Go back to the wine shop and see if there is any movement."
Yao Yao recalled the way he came and determined the way to get out of the maze-like fortress.
Then he responded softly and backed away slowly.
Xu Xiangli hurriedly said: "I will ask the garrison to follow this girl."
Han Changmu was stunned for a moment. He felt that even though the terrain in the fortress was complicated, Yao Yao could still get out without any danger with Yao Yao's ability.
But considering that this is someone else's territory after all, it would be troublesome if he accidentally broke into a secret place and created unnecessary complications.
He smiled: "That's fine."
Yao Yao pursed his lips, what does it mean to be considerate? Look at Xu Xiangli, and then look at Han Changmu.
Trying to get an ice cube to lower its body and learn to cherish its beauty is no less difficult than letting a pheasant fly up a branch and turn into a phoenix.
She secretly cursed and followed a garrison who was not tall but very light and nimble in his footsteps and quickly walked out of the garrison.
As soon as I left the fort, I was greeted by the yellow sand blowing in front of me that blinded my eyes. In the dark night, I could actually see traces of the wind carrying the yellow sand and dust flying by.
The wind came unexpectedly, blowing Yao Yao to the point of coldness and pain in the face. She hurriedly rewrapped the coat she had put away, and noticed a look of astonishment next to her. She turned her head, her expression unchanged. The non-jumping one smiled as usual: "The wind is too strong."
The garrison choked up, and three words flew through his mind, so squeamish. At the same time, those three words were written from his heart to his face.
It was so embarrassing. How could he laugh at a girl's squeamishness? In the end, he was embarrassed and nodded calmly: "The wind is strong."
Yao Yao grinned but said nothing.
She thought that as long as she was not embarrassed, others would be more embarrassed than her.
After taking a few steps, the awkward atmosphere was quickly broken by a figure running towards him quickly.
The man was running very fast, and when he rose and fell, he didn't bring up any dust.
The pale moonlight fell, following the man wandering uncertainly.
Yao Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at the shadow of the withered moon to clearly see the appearance of the person coming. At the same time, he heard footsteps coming from the fort.
As soon as the word "Wait" came to the corner of her lips, there was a loud rustling sound in the air.
The gleaming arrow struck the ground, and the man stopped in a hurry, too hastily, and fell heavily on the ground.
Yao Yao didn't hold back and laughed.
"Damn it, I was almost stabbed into a mace, but you still have the mood to laugh at me." The man cursed and stood up, patting the dirt on his body and face, revealing the face that could make a big girl or a little wife go crazy. His face is none other than Gu Chen, who is known as a half-fairy.
Yao Yao stepped forward quickly and couldn't help laughing: "You still have a mace, even if it is full of arrows, you are still just a cat with fried hair."
Gu Chen snorted: "Master, Sabao and the others are dishonest. Meng Sui is staring at them from behind. I'm here to report the news."
Yao Yao let out a light sigh.
These people are probably too impatient. It's a little early to take action at this time.
It was just the middle of the night at this time, not a time when people were soundly asleep. If you choose to do something shameful at this time, it is very easy to be caught.
She raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise: "What did they do?"
Gu Chen squinted his eyes and sneered: "I fed the packhorse and packed my luggage, as if I was going to travel all night."
Yao Yao calculated the time and found that Sabao and his party arrived at the moment you were right, and now they were leaving in a hurry. There was indeed something wrong with them.
She turned to the garrison and said politely: "Can you please bring us two into the garrison, sir, and explain this matter to my young master and garrison officer Xu."
When Xu Xiangli and Han Changmu talked about the matter, the scene was cleared. Although the garrison was close, he only heard fragments of what was said and did not hear the whole story.
He nodded and took the two of them back to the fort.
The ten beacons of Yiwu Road were all built near water sources, and the fifth beacon was no different.
To the north of the beacon tower is a ravine about six or seven feet wide. At first glance, clear spring water flows in the gully, extending eastwards and providing drinking water for caravan travelers.
This spring is the last place to get water before entering Moheyan Moraine. After entering Moheyan Moraine, the water source is not easy to find.
If you want to cross the Moheyan Moraine safely, you must get water at the fifth beacon.
This spring was regarded by the imperial court as the lifeblood of Yiwu Road, and a beacon tower garrison was built next to the spring. Standing on the high garrison, one can have an unobstructed view of the spring water.
The moonlight was gray, as if covered with a layer of gauze, falling gently and softly on the water.
The wind swept across the water quickly, ripples were rippling, and the water was sparkling, like countless cold stars falling.
There were several dark figures on the fort, holding knives at their waists, walking around with a chill, and looking down from time to time.
In the shadows at the edge of the ravine, two people were lying on their backs, clinging to the ground, motionless.
Only when the garrison moved around did the two men climb quickly.
The heavy footsteps of the garrison carried very far in the quiet night. Once they stopped, the two men lay still.
The undisguised human voices came from the fort, swaying with the sound of the wind.
"It's high time, the guard will change in two minutes." Someone on the fort couldn't bear the cold, stamped his feet and shivered.
Another person's hands and feet were so stiff from the cold that he couldn't even stamp his feet. His purple lips trembled, and his voice was trembling: "Isn't it? It's freezing to death. If you go down for a while, you have to take a few sips." "
