The British Duke did not come forward, and not even the British Kung Fu people came forward. This was something An Xiangbo did not expect.
He got down from the sedan chair.
Seeing Ma Qianhu leading the way, Uncle An Xiang spat on the ground and muttered in a low voice: "Everyone of you is evil-minded. You don't have any excuses. If anything happens, I will leave it to you." Uncle is responsible for it alone."
Cursing, he still followed Ma Qianhu to a remote place on the city wall.
There are not many guards guarding here, only a few people.
"Uncle Zhang, I will send you down in a hanging basket in a moment. There are horses prepared below, and a few followers will accompany you." Ma Qianhu said to Uncle An Xiang.
After hearing this, Uncle An Xiang glanced outside the city. It was so dark that he couldn't see the surroundings below.
Retracting his leaning body, Uncle An Xiang turned to look at Ma Qianhu and said, "Do you know what I am doing out of the city?"
"I don't know what I'm doing. The order I got was just to arrange horses and people to accompany you, uncle. As for what you want to do, I don't know anything about it." Ma Qianhu shook his head.
Uncle An Xiang stared at Ma Qianhu's eyes for a long time.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether the other party was really unclear or pretending to be unclear.
"Uncle, you'd better hurry up. When daybreak comes, there will be more people on the street, and it will be inconvenient to go out of town." Ma Qianhu urged.
Uncle Anxiang turned around and looked in the direction of the palace.
Although he couldn't see the situation in the palace, he knew that at this time, many officials were waiting at the palace gate to prepare for the morning.
Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, the number of morning dynasties has been more frequent than in the previous dynasties.
However, as an earl, he does not need to attend every morning court unless necessary.
Through the hanging basket, An Xiangbo was sent outside the city.
Uncle Anxiang, who had just arrived outside the city, looked around, trying to find the person assigned to him outside the city.
Unfortunately, the surrounding area is too dark, making it difficult to see clearly from a little further away.
At this moment, someone came out of the darkness.
"Is it Uncle Zhang?"
Uncle An Xiang, who heard the noise, looked over and saw a soldier wearing cotton armor standing a few steps away from him and stopped.
"It's exactly Uncle Ben." Uncle An Xiang said with his head raised.
He is an uncle in size, but the person in front of him is a Qiu Ba at first glance.
When the soldiers in the distance heard Uncle An Xiang's words, they left and came closer. When they came closer, they bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle, the Duke of Guo has arranged for me to wait for you here."
"Where is Uncle Ben's horse?" Uncle An Xiang asked the visitor directly.
The soldier in front of him said: "Uncle, please come with me. The horses are arranged not far away. It's only a few steps away."
"Lead the way!" Uncle An Xiang maintained his identity and was unwilling to talk nonsense with Qiu Baduo.
The other party also noticed Uncle An Xiang's attitude, so he simply stopped talking and walked in front to lead the way for Uncle An Xiang.
In order to take care of Uncle An Xiang, he did not walk too fast, and he stopped and waited for a while to give Uncle An Xiang a chance to catch up.
But even so, after walking for a while, Uncle An began to become out of breath.
I usually don't walk much, but I was tired for half the night. I woke up and left the city without eating anything. Not only was there no food in my stomach, but my legs were also a little weak.
After walking for about two miles, Uncle Anxiang stopped and said dissatisfiedly: "We have walked such a long way, why haven't we arrived yet?"
"Uncle, hold on a little longer and we'll be there just a few steps further." The soldier walking in front said with a careful smile.
However, these words made Uncle An Xiang's face sink, and he said: "You said the same thing before, but I have gone so far. If I don't leave, I won't leave."
With that said, he simply sat on the ground.
He was originally reluctant to take this trip to Yuquan Mountain, but now that he had walked such a long way, his dissatisfaction was directly vented.
The soldier in front of him had no choice but to smile and say, "Uncle, if you are tired, just rest here for a while. I'll ask someone to bring the horse over."
After hearing this, Uncle An Xiang waved his hands impatiently.
The soldier bowed to him, then turned and left.
Walking a few steps away from Uncle Anxiang, the soldier put his fingers in his mouth and blew the whistle several times in succession.
tread! tread! tread!
The sound of horse hooves soon came from far to near.
Soon, several war horses and riders on horseback appeared in Uncle An Xiang's sight.
Uncle An Xiang's face suddenly darkened.
Because these cavalry did not come from the front, but from the side and behind, which means that these cavalry were not in the front originally, but closer to the city wall.
"Uncle, our people have arrived." The soldier said to Uncle Anxiang.
Uncle An Xiang had a dark face, pointed at the approaching riders and horses and asked, "What's going on?"
"These are the people who escorted you to Yuquan Mountain, uncle." The soldier explained with an innocent look.
Hearing this, Uncle An Xiang saw that the other party refused to admit it and could not punish him at this time. He could only give the other party a cold look and walked to an unrided horse nearby.
"Here comes someone to help me mount the horse." Without the mounting stone, Uncle Anxiang couldn't ride on it, so he called others to come over and use it as a mounting stone for him.
Seeing this, the soldier had no choice but to come over, kneel down on one knee, and expose his knee for Uncle An Xiang to step on his horse.
Although Uncle Anxiang had difficulty mounting his horse, he had no problem riding the horse.
An Xiangbo, who was sitting on horseback, urged his horse to dismount and, escorted by several cavalrymen around him, rushed all the way to Yuquan Mountain.
Yuquan Mountain has long been occupied by the Tiger Banner army, and many Tiger Banner patrol teams have been deployed nearby. Before An Xiangbo and others could approach Yuquan Mountain, they were caught by the Tiger Banner patrol team and were detained.
Walking on the way to the Tiger Flag Camp in Yuquan Mountain, Uncle An Xiang frowned and whispered to himself: "Something is wrong. The security was not so strict when I came here last time."
Uncle Anxiang, who had been to Yuquan Mountain once, found that there were more patrol teams and tiger-character flag soldiers on guard duty than before. The number had reached three steps, one post, five steps and one post, and the level of alert was comparable to that in the palace. .
Uncle Anxiang and his party were taken outside a large tent.
At this time, all their armor was removed and their hands were empty, not even a sharp object.
One of the tiger-character flag soldiers who escorted them over went into the tent to report, while the other soldiers stayed outside and continued to guard them.
Only then did Uncle Anxiang have time to take stock of the situation around the camp.
This camp was not the same one he visited last time, but the guards around it were much more than the last time.
"You go in alone, and everyone else stays outside." A man walked out of the tent and pointed at Uncle An Xiang.
Uncle An Xiang suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, took a deep breath, and walked towards the tent.
