Soon, the two confessed. They were originally from the Kingdom of Dayu, but they got into the gambling problem soon after joining the army. But how could the military pay be enough for them to gamble? Soon, they owed a lot of money. The lady boss of the casino found them to talk alone and told them that as long as they obeyed and did things, they would have a lot of money. They already owed a lot of money at the casino. If they didn't do it, their hands and feet would be chopped off, which would be death, so they agreed.
"Which casino? Which proprietress?" Cang Qiyuan asked, looking at them with squinted eyes.
"It's a casino called "Jucai" in the southeast of Youzhou City. The proprietress is a tall and beautiful lady. At that time, we were still the garrison in Youzhou City. Soon after those people found us, we were The defense switch is here.”
Cang Qiyuan whispered to the Eagle Guard beside him, "Send someone to Youzhou, tell Cang Qiang about this immediately, and let him be responsible for investigating the gambling house."
After the Eagle Guards took the order and left, Cang Qiyuan then asked: "How many people like you are there?"
"This kid really doesn't know! We are just forced to obey orders."
Seeing that nothing could be said, Cang Qiyuan waved his hand, and the guard escorting them picked up a knife and wiped their necks directly.
Cang Qiyuan ordered an eagle guard to stay here with 200 soldiers. If something happened, he would immediately send a signal, and he took the people to the beacon tower behind.
Coincidentally, not far from the next beacon tower, Cang Qiyuan saw a sneaky man. He caught him and searched him, and found the paper bag in his arms. Before he could be interrogated, he knelt down and begged for mercy. : "Spare your life, General, spare your life! I was forced, and I didn't want to! I'll tell the General everything I know."
It turned out that he had received an order half an hour ago, saying that three hundred Xianbei people would pass by tonight, and he was asked to charm the others and help them pass the obstacle.
“How are you going to help them get over the block?”
"Put a rope down from the wall."
Cang Qiyuan waved his hand, and the soldier's neck was also wiped. He lowered his head and thought: It seems that Murong Tu is not willing to let everyone pass the barrier. It seems that the main force is still near Yuyang County.
He ordered his men to continue patrolling the next beacon tower, while he hid here with 200 soldiers.
At midnight, there were bursts of whistles outside the beacon tower. Cang Qiyuan walked out alone, lay down on the city wall and looked down. It was pitch black below, and he saw many black shadows through the moonlight.
He threw the ropes down one by one, and soon the people below were climbing up along the ropes, one, two, three... There were more and more people on the city wall. At this time, a man who looked like a little leader walked up Come over and say in blunt Chinese: "Throw the rope over there, let's go there first."
Cang Qiyuan lowered his head and said: "There are only a few ropes, and they are all used. After they all climb up, you can go down from there!"
The little leader had no choice, so he lay on the city wall and urged the people below to climb up quickly.
Soon, the people below climbed up the city wall. Cang Qiyuan slowly collected the rope there, and several anxious people came over to help pull the rope together.
At this time, Cang Qiyuan raised his head and smiled at them. The Xianbei man was startled for a moment. This detailed work actually looked so good-looking. Before he could recover, he saw the man flying up on tiptoes and scattering white powder in the sky above them. Occasionally it would fall on one person's shoulder, tap it lightly, and fly up again. Just as he was about to sigh in admiration, he lost consciousness.
At the same time, the hidden soldiers of Dayu also ran out. Cang Qiyuan pointed to the leader, "Wake him up and interrogate him carefully, tie up the others and ask someone to drag them back."
At the same time, the same scene was playing out at the beacon tower ten miles away from them. However, the Yingwei's martial arts were not as good as Cang Qiyuan's, and there were still some people who slipped through the net and rose up to resist. The soldiers of Dayu who rushed out fired at them with repeating crossbows in their hands. The Xianbei soldiers fell down one after another. Those who were lucky enough to escape the arrows were hacked to death by the new steel knives in the hands of the soldiers of Dayu.
When counting the people, they found that there were more than 500 people here.
Two beacon towers sent out signals one after another, and at the other, a small gap in the barrier that was unknown to everyone, a man wearing the military uniform of a Dayu soldier was directing the Xianbei people to walk slowly through here.
It's just that the gap is very narrow, and only one person can pass through it at a time, so the speed is very slow.
By the time all the soldiers climbed over, it was already time.
After passing the barrier, these soldiers quickly divided into three squads and ran in three different directions.
One of the teams of 100 people was running towards a nearby village. Unexpectedly, they suddenly heard the rumble of horse hooves. What was going on? Why are there so many horses?
They wanted to hide, but the place was very empty and the surroundings were still covered in ice and snow. Their goal was too obvious. There was no choice but to draw out the machete and fight.
It was none other than Cang Dao. He took 10,000 horses with him and rushed towards Yuyang County. Unexpectedly, he met the Xianbei people here.
Without saying a word, he pointed his repeating crossbow at them and shot at them.
These Xianbei people responded quickly to the enemy, and the result was of course overwhelming. Soon more than a hundred Xianbei people were wiped out, leaving only one alive. They sent people to interrogate overnight. He left his lieutenant and a thousand people to search nearby, while he led He led the remaining soldiers straight to Yuyang County.
These Xianbei people were really unlucky. Cang Ji, who was patrolling toward Youzhou, found nothing unusual. He was leading his troops back to Yuyang City, but he happened to encounter the Xianbei people who had just passed the barrier. He quickly sent troops to chase them. Because they were divided into three teams, they could only barely catch up with one team. After a while of fighting, all the more than a hundred people were wiped out. When they went to look for the other two teams, there was no trace.
He sent people to quickly pass the news back to Yuyang County, and he led his team to search everywhere.
Cang Qiyuan had already guessed that their target this time was the village, so it was not difficult to find them. They searched nearby villages and found these people in one village. They were actually demolishing houses...
The team that finally managed to sneak in has already entered two villages. There is no edible food here, and they even took away the pots and pans. They searched repeatedly in the village, but could not find anyone. Hungry, cold, and furious, they used machetes and hands to demolish the house...
