The stars were shining brightly in the midnight sky.
The thin moonlight made countless mottled shadows appear on the city wall.
"Wake up, wake up." Wang Er pushed Niu Meng lying aside a few times with his hand.
The cow opened his eyes suddenly,
"We should go." Wang Er glanced around.
Only a few braziers on the city wall were still burning, and there were no patrolling guards around.
Niu Meng stood up from behind the female wall.
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb the others, come with me." Wang Er waved to him and walked forward close to the female wall.
Niu Meng followed.
The two people came to a remote place one after the other, and not far from them was a watchtower, blocking the two people's figures.
"Where's the rope?" Wang Er reached out for the rope.
Niu Meng untied a hemp rope as thick as two fingers from his waist and took it into his hand.
"Let's get out of the city from here and make sure no one finds out. Give me the rope and tie it with a knot." Wang Er reached out for the rope in the other person's hand.
"Let's go together!" Niu Meng handed a section of the rope to Wang Er, then he tied a buckle from the other end and hung it on the green brick at the crenel to secure it.
Wang Er on the other side has already tied several knots on the rope.
Niu Meng took the rope from the king's hand and threw it outside the city. He said, "I'll give you a piece of advice before I leave. Don't stay on the city wall tomorrow."
With that said, he stepped across the crenel, holding the rope with one hand and heading down the city.
"Take me with you." Wang Er hurriedly ran to the crenel where Wang Meng was.
Niu glanced at him fiercely and said, "Are you sure?"
"I'm not stupid. If I stay here, I will most likely die, and my whole family is outside the city." Wang Er said, picking up the green bricks on the crenel with one hand.
Niu Meng hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you don't want to stay here, you can come with me. I'll go down first and you can come down later."
As he spoke, he loosened his hand and slid down the rope.
The rope was knotted so that he wouldn't slide to the ground all at once. He slid down several times and landed safely on the ground.
Wang Er, who was guarding in front of the crenel, saw the bull rushing to the bottom of the city, so he grabbed the rope and jumped from the crenel.
boom!
The rope was more than half a meter high from the ground. Without noticing, Wang Er sat down on the ground and hit his back vertebrae. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands to prevent himself from shouting.
"Let's go." Niu Meng helped Wang Er up from the ground and led him to run towards the Tiger Flag camp outside the city.
And the rope they dropped was swinging back and forth with the wind.
It was very quiet on the city wall, and the departure of the two people did not attract the attention of other people on the city wall.
Under the moonlight, some potholes on the ground can be seen clearly.
The two of them didn't dare to stop for even a moment and ran all the way. However, after all, it was night, and even if there was moonlight illuminating their feet, they still couldn't see as clearly as during the day.
Half an hour later, the two people finally arrived outside the Tiger Flag's camp.
"We'll be there soon, why don't you leave." Wang Er turned around and urged when Niu Meng stopped.
Niu Meng glanced at the bright fire in front of him and said: "Don't go any further. Let's go to the camp gate right in front of the camp. There is a fire there. If we get close, we will be spotted by the sentry on the watchtower in the camp. Send someone to take us there." Enter the camp.”
The two people walked around to the camp gate.
There are five or six fires still burning here. Close to the fire, you can clearly see a few pieces of wood that have just been burned inside. They must have been put there not long ago.
Two people stood next to a fire on the outermost edge, and the shadows on the side swayed as the flames swayed back and forth.
"Let's warm ourselves by the fire first!" Niu Meng called to Wang Er next to him, squatting by the fire and stretching out his hands to warm himself.
Wang Er squatted down next to Niu Meng, glancing nervously at the deer village in front of the camp gate from time to time.
After a while, footsteps came from the shadows behind Luzhai.
Wang Er, who had been nervous, stood up hurriedly.
"Don't move, don't even move."
A dozen soldiers armed with muskets rushed out from behind Luzhai, the muskets pointed at them.
"One of my own, I have a bronze medal on my chest to prove my identity." Niu Meng raised his hands so that the surrounding soldiers could see that he had weapons in his hands.
Wang Er was more direct, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.
"Search their bodies." The leader of the soldiers, the captain, motioned to his men to search them.
Niu Meng didn't resist at all and allowed the other party to search out the bronze medal and dagger from his chest, as well as a few pieces of silver on his body.
As for Wang Er, he showed no resistance at all and was as honest as a quail.
"Commander, look at this." The warrior who searched for the cow handed over the bronze medal he found.
The soldier commander took it in front of his eyes and looked at it.
After reading it, he said: "I would also like to trouble you two to come with me and confirm your identity."
"Okay." Niu Meng nodded.
The soldier commander said to several of his men: "Take them and return to camp."
Niu Meng and Wang Er had their hands tied, and were escorted by soldiers to limit their possibility of escaping.
Seeing this posture, Wang Er's legs became weak. He slumped to the ground several times, but was forcibly lifted up by the soldiers escorting him and walked to the camp.
"Aren't you one of our own? Why are you still treating us like this? You should talk to them!" Wang Er said to Niu Meng with a mournful face.
Niu Meng said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. We will be released when our identities are verified."
The two men were taken to the camp and locked in a tent alone.
Not long after, a person walked in from outside the camp. He looked at Niu Meng and Wang Er in front of him and said, "Are you spies from the Foreign Intelligence Agency?"
"I am." Niu Meng stood up.
"Since you are, then come with me. Assistant Master Yu is about to see you." The visitor glanced at Niu Meng.
Niu Meng stepped forward to follow the opponent, but was held back by Wang Er beside him.
Seeing Wang Er's begging look, he said: "The news brought back from this trip was obtained through him, so I want to take him with me."
Only then did the visitor look at Wang Er.
After a moment's hesitation, he finally nodded.
The two people were taken away from the camp and brought to the heavily guarded Chinese army tent.
"Are you a powerful secret agent of the Foreign Intelligence Agency in Shouyang?"
As soon as the two people entered the big tent, a strong man in the tent was the first to ask them.
"Reporting to Deputy Master Zheng, my subordinate is Niu Meng." Niu Meng glanced at the bronze medal in the big man's hand to prove his identity, and guessed that the other party should be the Deputy Master Yu mentioned by the man who brought them here.
Yu Huai handed the bronze medal in his hand to the guard standing aside and said, "Give this back to him."
In each army of the Tiger Banner, the battalion level is allowed to have personal guards. The number of guards is usually only one or two, and a personal guard team is also equipped.
The Guards belong to the regular military system and are not private individuals.
