Yanmen is heading towards the dirt road in the direction.
A fast horse would appear next to the road from time to time, and then hide in the woods next to the road, hiding some food and weapons here, and some food and weapons there.
This figure kept keeping things here. After hiding the things, he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when no one found him. He looked up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, completely removed the face towel, and exposed Who was his original face if it wasn't Xu Yunyan?
After Xu Yunyan made these series of preparations, he couldn't help but say while looking at the more than ten places where he had hidden weapons and food supplies.
"I hope I won't be found by the wolves on the grassland. What I bought is the most ordinary dry food without any smell."
Xu Yunyan underestimated such a sound and then mounted his horse again, taking the path and moving quickly towards the distance.
After traveling for only half a day, Dingxiang City appeared in front of Xu Yunyan's eyes. As Dingxiang City appeared, some distant Turkic patrols were wandering around outside Dingxiang City.
After discovering these patrolling cavalry, Xu Yunyan hid the war horse in a secret location, prepared enough fodder for him, and stayed here anxiously.
Should I keep the horse or not?
Finally, I decided to stay, but don’t let the wild wolves on the grassland eat it.
Although I couldn't bear it, I still resolutely did what I should do.
Looking at the Turkic cavalry patrolling the outermost area near Dingxiang, he murmured.
"I shouldn't be so rebellious, right?"
After muttering this uneasily, Xu Yunyan let this group of war horses, which had endured a lot of hardships with him, stay here quietly by himself. After that, Xu Yunyan took out the strange things he had prepared. Others could not tell what they were. The utensils were brought to Dingxiang City.
The dark moon and high wind really made Xu Yunyan very satisfied with this.
"Look, you've been here to help me all day. There was still some moonlight, but now the clouds are so thick that you can't see any light at all. It would be unreasonable for me not to take advantage of such a good opportunity."
Xu Yunyan muttered this again and happily touched the edge of Dingxiang City. Hearing that there was no movement on the city wall, he looked at the city wall made of soil and black bricks, and took out two statues from the package. It's something like a shoe that goes over the feet.
There are just a few chilling iron hooks on it. It was quite difficult for anyone to see. After putting on his shoes, Xu Yunyan threw out a rope with a claw hook on it and hung it on the top of the city, quickly climbing towards the top of the city.
When Xu Yunyan arrived at the top of the city, he looked around and found that the Turks were not good at defending the city. At night, there was not even a single figure as far as he could see above the city.
This really makes me feel better.
Xu Yunyan thought happily like this, and quickly crossed over to the other side of the city wall to see that some of the houses below that were originally residents of Dingxiang City had been requisitioned by the Turks. There were groups of people inside. The Turkic soldiers had rested early.
Xu Yunyan secretly walked to the courtyard of a house that was originally a small military camp and inquired how many people were there.
Xu Yunyan was surprised by this look.
"What kind of small military camp is this? I completely misunderstood it.
There lived a Turkic family, including old people, children, and Turkic soldiers who could mount their horses and kill the enemy at any time.
Xu Yunyan was wondering here, since this house is occupied by Turks, where is the Turks' barracks? With so many Turks gathered together, where were their cattle, sheep and horses?
This Dingxiang city has been regarded by Jieli as the base camp of the Turks for a year or two. There must be many Turks settling there.
Xu Yunyan was puzzled and took out some sketches of Dingxiang City before. Xu Yunyan found these from some records of Yanmen Pass. Fortunately, I know the size and general layout of Dingxiang.
Looking at the sketch and comparing it to the current situation, you can instantly recognize it.
Looking at the buildings in the distance that were higher than the horizon, Xu Yunyan nodded with satisfaction.
"This place should be Jie Li's lair, and on the left is the barracks. I want to go over and have a look."
Xu Yunyan thought like this and quickly moved towards the barracks. However, after walking for a while, he felt more and more wrong.
Those courtyards just now were all the families of Turkic soldiers. Why do these places look like shops? There are indeed shops in Dingxiang City, which have been done before and cannot be faked, but what are the Turks selling here?
Xu Yunyan was so confused. After walking by a shop, he suddenly heard something moving inside the shop. He quietly leaned in and listened.
I only heard a few people inside talking in Chinese.
"We are suffering here in Dingxiang City every day. We don't know how long we will stay, let alone when we can return home."
After one person said this, a different voice next to him said this.
"Master, it's a great gift for us to be alive here, but we don't dare to think about going back. Didn't you listen to these Turks? Those who went back some time ago were not officials like us in the previous dynasty. Yes, but they were all killed by people from the south, not a single one was left!"
"Woman, why do you believe the words of these Turks? Is it possible that what Li Yuan did is worse than what His Majesty II did?
Although His Majesty the Second is moody, Li Yuan was quite benevolent before we were robbed by the Turks. Would he do such a thing? He was killed after he returned. How could he have embarrassed the officials of the previous government who had surrendered to him? "
In just a few words, Xu Yunyan understood what was going on here. An official from the former dynasty was preparing to return to Li Tang. They were fed up with being treated as puppets in the Turks, unable to do anything and having to live in fear.
Just as the couple were saying these words, a slightly younger female voice spoke.
"Father, we haven't eaten the rice dumplings from my mother's hometown for a long time. In this northern land, the rice dumplings eaten every day are either cows or sheep. This daughter really can't eat them. She can't even find any pasta. She has to ask her mother to eat them every day. My daughter really couldn’t bear to go out and dig wild vegetables to be able to eat them.”
When the daughter was talking here, her father sighed.
"I also want to go back, but in this situation, how can we go back? Is there any way to go back?"
Just when the old father was sighing here, Xu Yunyan had a sudden idea, which could be regarded as a bad taste, and knocked lightly on their door.
There were two beeps, but they were discussing this in the courtyard, looking for an opportunity to return to the south and live the life I should live in Hanja. The Sui Dynasty family was so frightened that their livers and gallbladders burst.
"who?"
The man asked in a trembling voice, while Xu Yunyan spoke in a low voice.
"I!"
This powerful sentence stunned the former officials in the room.
"Who are you?"
The former officials here asked about Xu Yunyan's identity. Xu Yunyan deliberately lowered his voice, but still said it confidently.
"I am who I am."
People in the room were instantly startled when they heard that the words were spoken in Chinese with a perfect accent and no foreign accent.
Colleague, stop joking. What do you mean by your late-night visit?
Just when this person asked what happened, Xu Yunyan chuckled.
"You are planning something big here!"
This suddenly frightened everyone in the room. Immediately, they heard the wife of the former official who had been talking to the former official was defending her and started crying. She cried so miserably.
While she was crying, there was a slightly younger female voice there to persuade her.
"Mom, it doesn't matter, nothing will happen."
It's just better not to persuade her. The more she persuades her, the louder she becomes. Even outside the door, she can hear her clearly. Maybe if she continues crying, it may attract the attention of other people. This is what Xu Yunyan is doing at all. Unexpectedly, how could such a result happen?
Just when Xu Yunyan was embarrassed here, the door suddenly opened. Seeing that the shop-like room was opened, Xu Yunyan stepped into it directly.
His strange outfit made the people in front of him stunned.
"You...you are not from Dingxiang City at all."
After he said this, his wife, who was crying, and her daughter, who was trying to persuade her, were frightened.
They were crying while looking at Xu Yunyan. As soon as Xu Yunyan came in, he stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture to them.
"You are crying. It may not be exposed to me here, but if there are people passing by outside, they will definitely be attracted by your crying."
After Xu Yunyan said a word, the lady hurriedly stopped crying here, but looking at the twitching look, Xu Yunyan finally no longer made it difficult for them, but snorted coldly.
This suddenly frightened the former official.
"You, who are you?"
Although he was frightened, he still asked who Xu Yunyan was.
Xu Yunyan looked at him and smiled.
"Who am I? Of course I'm from the South."
After he said this, the former officials didn't believe it at all.
"You are from the south, how is it possible? How is it possible for people from the south to enter here?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was trembling all over, as if he thought of some bad identity, and Xu Yunyan looked at him like this and said here.
"I am indeed from the south, and I came here to spy on the situation in Jieli Military Camp. If you tell me, it will save me the trouble. I can take one or a few of you back to the south. I think It is impossible to return them all, unless you all find the horses.”
"Do you mean what you said?"
Now this person is not here to doubt whether what Xu Yunyan said is true or false, but is instead taking a gamble here. And Xu Yunyan looked at him.
"What am I saying that's not true? I never lie."
Xu Yunyan said proudly here, he has always said what he said, and this person can be regarded as taking a gamble here.
"Tomorrow my wife will take my daughter out to collect wild vegetables. You can go out."
"I can go outside the city to pick them up."
Xu Yunyan also echoed them here and gave an approximate location.
There is a hidden location located a few miles east of the woods next to the main road in the south of the city.
After Xu Yunyan said this, he looked at the former official and said, "I wonder if you can tell me about the defense of the Turks in Dingxiangcheng?"
The official smiled, "The Turks' military defense is quite simple. As long as you ensure the safety of my wife and my daughter, I will tell you."
This suddenly put Xu Yunyan in a difficult position.
But Xu Yunyan found a solution as soon as he turned his head.
"How can you get out of the city? As far as I know, an official like you doesn't seem to be let out easily, right?"
