In Xinhan, a caravan is on its way. They are moving very fast and seem to be very urgent.
Judging from the route of this caravan, their destination should be near the border between Xinhan and Taichu.
In addition to the guards following on horseback, there were also people sitting next to the driver. They were all powerful and holding weapons in their hands. They looked like Lian Jiazi, and they were obviously escorting the goods.
Because of the high speed, sitting on the carriage was not comfortable, and those in poor health could not hold on for long. Even the guards accompanying the carriage looked ugly and could only grit their teeth and persist.
On a carriage, the driver looked at the pale face of the guard beside him and handed over a gourd and said: "Brother, drink some of this. I made the herbal tea myself. It is very useful for the bumps on the road."
The guard hesitated and did not take the gourd.
The driver took back the hand holding the gourd and bit open the stopper of the gourd. Because the stopper was connected to the gourd by a rope, it did not fall. He smiled and said: "It seems that this brother doesn't trust me. It doesn't matter. I'll take a sip first and see if it's poisonous."
After saying this, the coachman raised the gourd and poured a sip of herbal tea into his mouth from a distance, then handed the gourd to the guard.
This time the guard did not refuse, and imitated the coachman's actions and took a few sips. After a while, the guard's complexion actually improved a lot, and then he said "Thank you" to the coachman.
The coachman glanced at the guard, saw that he was getting better, smiled kindly and said, "Where are you from, brother?"
The guard looked at the coachman warily but did not answer.
The coachman's face became a little unnatural, and he said: "Brother, it's a long journey, wouldn't you feel bored if you and I didn't chat for a while?"
The guard still ignored him.
The coachman said in a helpless tone: "Yes, I encountered a boring gourd."
Seeing that the guard was still silent, the driver showed a sly look on his face and said, "Just ignore me. Anyway, if I get bored for a while, I will get sleepy. If the car overturns, it will be our responsibility."
"I'm from Qiaonan County." Although the guard was reluctant, he still said.
The coachman nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right. Chatting about geniuses will make a boring journey more interesting."
In this way, the two people chatted, mainly the coachman talking, the guard was a good listener, and occasionally echoed.
The driver was very knowledgeable and could tell everything from all over the world, which made the guards listen with interest and relaxed their spirits.
After chatting for a long time, the coachman seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "Brother, why are we in such a hurry to transport food? There is no major disaster, and there is no war with Taichu."
The guard was about to answer, but he seemed to suddenly realize something. He looked at the coachman warily and said, "Why are you asking this? Don't ask about things you shouldn't be involved in. Otherwise, you may cause big trouble."
The coachman said disdainfully: "Yes, if you don't ask, don't ask. I'm just curious. Isn't it just food? What kind of disaster can it cause?"
The guard stopped talking and left the coachman aside.
The driver was also helpless and stopped chatting with the guards. The journey was uneventful and the caravan safely entered Dongjincheng, more than a hundred miles away from the border.
Since the new Han King Han Linfu began to sweep away the bandits in the entire Yuzhou last year, it is rare to see bandits and bandits in New Han. Even some scattered ones do not dare to rob these caravans with many guards.
After unloading the goods in the warehouse, the driver took a leisurely stroll around Dongjin City.
Although he didn't get anything useful out of the guard, a lot of things could be analyzed from his attitude. The guards of the caravan were not ordinary people at all, but well-trained Xinhan soldiers.
The driver is not an ordinary person, but a secret agent of the Xinghe Sect's Seven Killing Battalion.
The driver drove around for a long time, and finally entered an alley. He stopped in front of a house and knocked on the door with a special rhythm. There was a sound of the door latch being pulled open, and No one came out, so the coachman pushed the door open and then closed the door tightly again.
The coachman didn't notice that when he came out of the warehouse, there was always a figure following behind him. The person's method of concealing his figure was extremely clever, and the coachman secretly observed the whole journey without noticing it.
After the coachman entered the house, the figure following him stopped staying and left quickly.
After the coachman entered the house, he walked into a side room with ease. There was a man in his forties drinking tea leisurely in the side room.
When the coachman saw the man, he saluted respectfully and said, "Fang Li has met the steward."
This man's name is Gao Longtai. He is a secret agent of the Xinghe Sect who infiltrated into New Korea. He is also the manager of the Dark Star Branch of Dongjincheng.
When Gao Longtai saw Fang Li, he smiled gently and said, "Old Fang, we brothers don't need to be so polite. Come sit down and drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Fang Li was about the same age as Gao Longtai, but he had been in Yuzhou much longer than Gao Longtai. Fang Li was the first to detect the news about the Jin'an incident.
Fang Li did not step forward, but said solemnly: "Sir, this matter is of great importance, and there is no time to delay."
Gao Longtai was a little surprised and said, "What happened?"
Fang Li took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Longtai. Gao Longtai immediately checked it. Fang Li said beside him: "This is the food transportation list that I stole from the Five Grains Hall. Recently, most of the food has been shipped to the border near Taichu." several cities."
"In the past two days, I also worked as a coachman and transported food. Along the way, I met many other caravans transporting food. No matter which caravan it was, the food guards were all regular soldiers of Xinhan. , and it seems that time is running out, so they are working hard to deliver it."
Gao Longtai's face became very ugly when he heard this, and he said: "You are saying that Xinhan and North Korea are using caravans to secretly transport grain and grass to the Taichu border. In other words, the war between Xinhan and Xiyao at this time is probably a cover. Han’s real goal is Taichu!”
Fang Li solemnly nodded and said: "Now it seems not impossible. It is better to believe that this matter is true than to believe it is not true. It is better to warn the sect as early as possible so that if things really change, we can be fully prepared in advance."
Gao Longtai stood up and took out paper, ink, pen and inkstone to write. As he wrote, he said: "Now that the border is closed, our people can't get through at all. We can only pass the message by flying pigeons."
When Fang Li heard this, he immediately went out and found five carrier pigeons and brought them in. For such an important matter, one carrier pigeon could not make people feel at ease. Gao Longtai wrote for a long time and stuffed five secret letters into the small mailbox on the carrier pigeon's leg.
The two came to the courtyard and released all the more than ten pigeons including the five pigeons.
As a large group of homing pigeons flew up, many arrows were shot from outside the courtyard, targeting the homing pigeons that had already taken off. Two homing pigeons were unlucky and were shot dead on the spot.
Gao Longtai said with a serious face: "Old Fang, this place has been exposed, let's run separately!"
Fang Li only said two words "take care" and was about to climb over the wall and leave. Gao Longtai was about to walk towards the secret passage in the house, but saw Fang Li suddenly fall off the wall and fall heavily to the ground.
Then the courtyard door was knocked open, and a group of Xinhan soldiers rushed in, led by a middle-aged man with a somewhat wretched temperament.
Several figures also appeared on the courtyard wall, and it was obvious that the two of them were surrounded.
The wretched man grinned and said, "Stop resisting in vain. You will not be able to escape today."
A short blade appeared in Gao Longtai's hand. He looked at the wretched man with hostile eyes and said, "New Han Mole Hall?"
The wretched man showed a morbid smile and said: "People say you don't talk nonsense with dead people, but I am a kind-hearted person, so I will let you know clearly, yes, remember, the one who killed you is Mole Hall Du Shang!"
When Gao Longtai and Fang Li heard Du Shang's name, their hearts tightened. Fang Li covered his chest and said, "Deputy Master of Mole Hall! It seems that you followed me to this place?" As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Li became violent. He started coughing, it was obvious that he had just been seriously injured.
Du Shang said with a proud smile: "That's right, with your little tricks, it's just a trick in front of me. If you didn't want to play a long game to catch big fish, you would have been killed a long time ago. You still have to wait until today!"
Fang Li looked extremely ugly and said guiltily to Gao Longtai, "Sir, it's all my fault for getting you involved."
Gao Longtai raised his head and laughed abnormally, then he put away his smile and said: "Old Fang, don't be sorry. If you hadn't come to report, how would I have had the chance to send such important news back to the sect, Du Shang, I see you It’s just shooting yourself in the foot!”
Du Shang looked at the two of them with a sneer, his eyes full of disdain. Gao Longtai and Fang Li glanced at each other, Fang Li's eyes were full of determination, while Gao Longtai was a little unbearable.
Fang Li suddenly moved, stood up and rushed towards Du Shang. He shouted sternly: "Now!"
Gao Longtai also moved almost at the same time. He avoided Du Shang and rushed towards the ordinary soldiers.
Facing Fang Li who suddenly rushed towards him, Du Shang's expression became even more disdainful. He took action and said, "A fight between trapped beasts is a court of death."
Gao Longtai took action very quickly, and two Xinhan soldiers were killed in an instant.
There was a huge gap in strength between Fang Li and Du Shang. As soon as they met, the sharp blade in Du Shang's hand penetrated his chest. He groaned, his eyes filled with perseverance.
He did not fall down immediately, but rushed towards Du Shang with all his strength, as if he wanted to hug Du Shang, but how could Du Shang, a person like him, give him such an opportunity, and attack his vital points one after another. In the end, he almost Being tied into a sieve by Du Shang, the corpse fell softly, with unwillingness in his eyes.
Even the time Fang Li fought for power could not allow Gao Longtai to escape. After four soldiers died, the masters of Mole Hall standing on the wall also took action decisively. Not long after Gao Longtai died after Fang Li Just got caught.
Du Shang kicked Fang Li's body away with a look of disgust, turned around and walked towards Gao Longtai.
Gao Longtai naturally saw Fang Li's situation, and said with a solemn smile: "Old Fang, if we can get the news out today, we have won. Please wait for a moment, brother, and I will go downstairs to accompany you!"
Du Shang heard this and shouted loudly: "Control his mouth!"
However, it was already too late. After Gao Longtai finished speaking, he licked a pill out of the tooth cavity with his tongue and bit it into pieces with determined eyes.
When Gao Longtai's mouth was pinched by the Xinhan spy, his face turned gray and he was dead in an instant.
Du Shang said with an ugly face: "Damn, it's too late. You are really a bunch of trash. Don't you know that the spy will kill himself after being caught?"
The spies looked at each other, and no one stood up to speak.
Du Shang walked to Gao Longtai's body and sneered: "Passing a message? What a joke, the borders between New Korea and New Korea have been completely sealed, and you can't convey anything!"
The dozen carrier pigeons released by Gao Longtai and the two flew towards the Taichu border, and they were already approaching the border.
Twenty miles away from the border, those pigeons suddenly fell downwards as if they had lost consciousness. They were all killed and no one survived.
The message that Gao Longtai and his two men conveyed with their lives was really not conveyed.
Every ten miles along the border between New Korea and New Korea, a cloud of smoke curls up and spreads in all directions, forming a smoke barrier that blocks the entire border between New Korea and New Korea.
On the city wall near Donglin Pass, a young soldier was looking after a pile of firewood. The firewood burned extremely slowly, with no firelight, and only a thick smoke drifting into the air.
The young soldier dozed off out of boredom. Suddenly, he was hit hard on the head. The young soldier suddenly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a soldier who was much older than him squatting in front of him.
The young soldier stood up and said aggrievedly: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"
The veteran named Zhang also stood up and said seriously: "Although this pile of things is inconspicuous, I heard that there was a soldier over at Chengtai Pass who was beaten with thirty military sticks because he fell asleep while guarding the pyre. He almost died. Beaten to death.”
The young soldier trembled when he heard this and said in shock: "Is it so serious? Brother Zhang, you have saved my life."
The veteran named Zhang smiled and said: "We are all soldiers, so we should support each other. I still hope that you can save my life during the war."
The young soldier also smiled and said proudly: "No problem, we will fight side by side from now on and live and die together!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
The young soldier put away his smile and said with some confusion: "But brother, do you know what this thing is? I see this kind of smoke is everywhere on the border wall."
The veteran surnamed Zhang replied solemnly: "I'm also very curious about this matter. I asked people about it. After asking for a long time, I just heard that the smoke is aimed at birds and animals. It seems that if the smoke is released, no animals can pass through the border and leave. Yuzhou.”
The young soldier was surprised: "So powerful? In this way, even a fly can't fly!"
The veteran surnamed Zhang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know if flies are of any use. Just keep watch carefully. I will change my shift when the time comes." After that, he turned and left.
The young soldier continued to look at the firewood pile, not daring to doze off again.
