Without Qin Changqian by his side, Guan Chenzi hurried on alone, quite briskly, and arrived at Bincheng in just half an hour.
As night fell, Guan Chenzi also took advantage of the cover of night to summon Mo Ying. One person and each shadow used each other's strength to climb up. Soon, they climbed up the dozens of feet high city wall of Bin City.
"The guards are a little lax!" Guan Chenzi crouched and was about to climb into the city. Suddenly, a shout came from the distance: "Who is it!"
"Oops, we've been discovered!" Guan Chenzi panicked and hurriedly ran across the city wall. Without thinking, he jumped off the city wall and jumped into the side alley of the city.
Before he could take a breath, shouts came from the city: "Someone has entered the city! He's just below the city. Hurry, surround him!" Upon hearing the warning, the Xigui Army under the city quickly surrounded Guan Chen. All roads are blocked, and they are slowly approaching.
"Those in front, be careful! The city official said that they only saw one, but they don't rule out that there are other accomplices!"
"Seal the road and get a few people on the roof!"
"Where are the archers? Send some archers over quickly!"
When Guan Chenzi heard these shouts, he regretted his impatience and weighed whether to withdraw from the city and look for another opportunity.
"Stop, why are you making such a fuss!" A strong man's voice rang out, calling out to the surrounding Xigui Army.
Guan Chenzi retracted into the corner and quietly observed the situation. Mo Ying had already summoned him by his side. If he was really forced to do so, he would still have to leave as a best option.
"Going back to Yueshuai, we found someone in the city who entered the city, and the brothers are arresting them!" The general who made the noise said as if he was asking for credit.
Guan Chenzi's heart moved: "Is it Yue Qiantong!"
"Oh, did you catch it?"
"Back to Yueshuai, not yet, brothers are still searching!"
"It's such a big fuss. I came to patrol once and I happened to encounter thieves entering the city? Who saw it? I want to ask clearly! Are you trying to claim credit again?"
There was no sound in the distance, and soon, the Xigui troops gradually retreated. No one could figure out what happened to Yueshuai, who was usually cautious and careless, today. However, no one dared to confront him. The Xigui troops on the other side were obviously aware of the movement here and also retreated quietly.
The person who came to watch the night was Yue Qiantong. His son Yuexiong had not been seen for a day, so he might have communicated with someone from the court. He was worried and came to inspect the city wall to see if there was anything going on.
The Xigui troops dispersed, each guarding their position. Yue Qiantong put his hands on his back and slowly walked towards Guan Chenzi's hiding place.
Guan Chenzi was very nervous. Yuexiong was so powerful in martial arts. Now he met Yue Qantong. If it was really a trap, it was unknown whether he could escape unscathed.
Yue Qiantong was also very nervous. He didn't know who was coming...
Getting closer and closer step by step, Yue Qiantong walked to Guan Chenzi's hiding place. Guan Chenzi couldn't avoid it. He slowly stood up, holding the rapier behind his back with one hand, and stared at Yue Qiantong without saying a word. Qiantong.
Yue Qiantong saw Guan Chenzi and her Taoist robe, smiled slightly, said nothing, and continued to walk forward past Guan Chenzi.
Seeing that Yue Qiantong did not yell at him, Guan Chenzi felt a little at peace in his heart. Without thinking, he stepped behind Yue Qiantong and followed closely.
The two of them were walking in tandem. The side alley was not long, and they could already see the Xigui Army patrolling back and forth in front of them.
Yue Qiantong stopped and looked back at the Taoist robe on Guan Chenzi's body. Guan Chenzi understood this and quickly took off his Taoist robe and tied it around his waist. Looking from a distance, the white Taoist robe now looked like a wide sarong. He also took off his crown and left his hair disheveled, showing off his feminine beauty. He took two steps forward and walked with Yue Qian.
Yue Qiantong put his arms around Guan Chenzi's waist, and Guan Chenzi also snuggled into his arms. They were both smart people, so they walked out without much need for words.
"Yue Qiantong!" The patrolling team of Xigui Army stopped immediately when they saw Yue Qiantong, and the army commander saluted him. After seeing Guan Chenzi nestled in his arms, he quickly led the team to avoid the two men and continued patrolling without waiting for Yue Qiantong's instructions.
There are still many smart people in the world.
In this way, the two of them left the city wall and walked towards the city "unimpeded".
"Taoist, I'm offended." Not long after walking, there were no more Xigui troops patrolling around. Yue Qiantong then took back Guan Chenzi's hand from his waist, cupped his hand and apologized.
Guan Chenzi didn't take it seriously and asked: "It's okay, I wonder if Yue Shuai knows my identity?"
"Oh, if Yue guessed correctly, the Taoist priest is a disciple of Zhenyang Mountain, right? An ordinary little Taoist priest can't enter this Bincheng. I believe that the Taoist priest also saw my son today, otherwise why would he It’s so late at night.”
Guan Chenzi looked around: "This is probably not the place to talk..."
"Taoist Master, please follow Yue!" Yue Qiantong led Guan Chenzi to the government office without saying a word.
After entering the government office in the same way, Yue Qiantong led Guan Chenzi to his room. The surrounding soldiers and subordinates saw it and were surprised, but no one said anything. Food and sex are human nature.
"It's really wronging the Taoist priest to let him enter the house in this way." Yue Qiantong was very polite and poured tea and water for Guan Chenzi himself without any servants.
Guan Chenzi nodded and said thanks: "It's okay. I don't know whether what you said is true or false, but I'm here to find out."
Yue Qiantong sighed: "My father and son have been waiting for this day for more than ten years. Now that the opportunity has come, there is no reason to let it go easily..."
"Appreciate further details."
"I am originally from the Central Plains. I was appointed by the imperial court to serve as an official in Xigui. At that time, I thought that after serving as an official in Xigui for a few years, I would be recalled to the Central Plains. However, I have to wait for more than 20 years... Xigui The land is no different from other places, where Han people and barbarians live together, and there have always been constant disputes.”
"The King of Xigui has always been the mediator, appeasing the Han people when the Han people are dissatisfied, and appeasing the barbarians when the barbarians are dissatisfied. For hundreds of years, everything has been peaceful. Until the current Xigui King Zou Huaiying succeeded..."
Guan Chenzi couldn't help but interject: "How about this term?"
"The King of Xigui has a violent temper and doesn't know how to be gentle at all. The Han people were dissatisfied, so he suppressed the Han people. The barbarians were not angry, so he turned around and suppressed the barbarians... causing resentment among the people and rebellion everywhere. Yue was in this land of Xigui. , just to suppress the rebellion, it has been a full ten years..." Yue Qiantong smiled, not knowing whether he was laughing at King Xi Gui's cruelty and ruthlessness, or at himself for being the villain.
"Then he raised an army to rebel. Why are there so many soldiers and horses accompanying him? I heard that even the master of the 17th Cave Barbarian Cave in Xigui raised troops to help?" Guan Chenzi was puzzled.
Yue Qiantong said: "That's because King Xigui has a good son..."
"Good son?" Guan Chenzi frowned. She already knew that Zou Wu, the third son of King Xigui, came to Beijing to assassinate him.
Yue Qiantong nodded: "Yes, King Xigui had six sons. Except for the fifth son and the sixth son who died young, the other four sons were quite capable. The four sons were named Wen Tao Wulue, which has a good meaning. Unfortunately, except for the big Except for the young master Zou Wen, who is kind and gentle, the other three have violent temperaments and follow Prince Xigui."
"The eldest son Zou Wen is always very kind to everyone, not only Han people, but also barbarians. King Xigui used the reputation of his eldest son to gather the hearts of the people and rebel against the court. He resented the injustice of the court and will They allocated this barbaric land..."
Guan Chenzi was a little unbelievable: "Just because of one person, you dare to risk the disapproval of the world and fight against the imperial court!?"
Yue Qiantong nodded and said: "It is reasonable for the Taoist Master not to believe it. That is because you have never met the eldest son. To be honest, now Yue wants to dedicate Bincheng, but when he thinks of the eldest son, he feels really ashamed... "
"Then the eldest son led troops to Rongcheng?" Guan Chenzi asked.
Yue Qiantong shook his head: "If the eldest son really led the army to Rongcheng, I would not sacrifice this Bincheng at all. The person who led the army was Zou Tao, the second son of King Xigui. This man has a perverse and violent personality. Like his father. He is very strategic and not a fuel-efficient lamp..."
"How does it compare to Ge Cifeng?"
"Isn't that Ge Cifeng from Chu Xiang? I've heard about it too. In terms of strategy, the two may be on par, but in terms of brutality...heh, I'm afraid even ten Ge Cifeng can't compare to this Zou Tao." Looking up from Zou Tao, Yue Qian Tong's eyes clearly flashed with fear.
Guan Chenzi frowned and asked, "Is Yue Shuai exaggerating?"
Yue Qiantong smiled and said, "Oh, Taoist Priest, have you ever heard of the Qilin Bow?"
"The dead soldiers of Chu Xiang?!" Guan Chenzi not only heard about it, but also fought against Chang Yansheng among the Qilin Bowmen.
"Chu Xiang was defeated. Most of the Qilin Bow warriors fled to Xigui, and a small number fled to Beiyi. I only learned about Chu Xiang from the mouths of these Qilin Bow warriors..."
The two of them were talking about what they were talking about, when suddenly someone came to report from outside the door.
"Report! Report to Yueshuai. General Shi and General Lan from Rongcheng have arrived outside the city with 30,000 soldiers and horses. They are shouting at the city gate!"
Yue Qiantong was shocked when he heard this. He didn't bother to talk to Guan Chenzi and rushed to the door in three steps at a time: "What? Now!"
"Yes, the two generals requested that the city be opened so that the army could enter the city. The defenders did not dare to act on their own, so they came here to report to Yue Shuai!" the visitor replied.
Yue Qiantong slowly waved his hand: "I know... you go down first..."
The soldier who reported the news had just left when Guan Chenzi stood up and asked: "Yue Shuai, the exchange of soldiers and horses is normal, don't be so surprised, right?"
Yue Qiantong shook his head and said: "Taoist Master, you don't know something. There are already 20,000 Xigui troops in Bincheng, and now Rongcheng has transferred another 30,000. With 50,000 troops and horses, Rongcheng only has 30,000..."
"Yue Shuai, what do you mean...Zou Tao has noticed something?" Guan Chenzi understood.
Yue Qiantong paced back and forth and said: "These 30,000 soldiers and horses must not be allowed to enter the city! I have to wait until tomorrow... Taoist priest, if the imperial soldiers and horses can be harassed for a while tomorrow, I will do it again With persuasion, we might be able to force them to camp outside the city! If they enter the city, everything will stop!"
As expected of a famous general, he was able to come up with such a plan to "encircle Wei and save Zhao" in such a hurry.
Guan Chenzi did not respond, but said: "Is the master of the Seventeenth Cave guarding the west gate? I want to take a look..."
