Chapter 51 Suspect Soldier
Chapter 51 Suspect Soldier
There is a Zhuangzi about twenty miles away from the city. As the intelligence location of the Jin Empire outside the city, this Zhuangzi has always been very inconspicuous..
A main hall in the village is quite simple in decoration..
“grown ups! grown ups! News is coming." The middle-aged man in black robe opened the door and rushed into the main room with excitement on his face..
“Guo Liu, didn’t I say that? Enter my house and knock on the door first." The evil young man who was standing in the house practicing his sword put away his sword with a 'swish' sound..
Turning around, he looked indifferently at the middle-aged man in black robe.
Seeing this, a hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man in black robes, and he even lowered his head: "Sir, I won't dare to humble myself next time.".”
The middle-aged man in black robe also felt quite aggrieved..
This main room is my residence, so I have developed a habit of just opening the door..
“I hope there won’t be a next time.” The evil young man’s voice was cold: “Tell me, what news is there this time?”？”
“It's about Wu Yuan." The middle-aged man in black robes breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The informant placed in a humble position has just learned the information from the Wu family. They have just rented a large ship, which did not carry any cargo. , but a passenger ship.”
“passenger ship? The evil young man's eyes narrowed: "Where to go?"？”
“Nanmeng! "The middle-aged man in black robe said: "I sent someone to find out clearly from the owner of the ship. This ship will take a boat ride down the river in these two days, from Nanlong River to the 'Nanyun Canal', and then from Wanqiu Daze. Directly to Nanmeng Fucheng.”
“Is it Wu Yuan? "Xie Yiqing said in a young voice.
“Most likely." The middle-aged man in black robe nodded: "In the past, although the Wu family would occasionally send people to Nanmeng Fucheng, they would never charter a large ship. This cost is not small..”
The evil young man nodded: "When will we set off? Is there any news?.”
“Wu Yuan practices in seclusion every day and does whatever he wants. It is difficult to determine the specific departure time at the moment." The middle-aged man in black robe said with a bitter smile..
The evil young man frowned slightly.
If the time cannot be confirmed, it will be difficult to ambush in advance..
“However, once the boat sets off, the traveling time can be roughly confirmed." Seeing this, the middle-aged man in black robe said: "Moreover, the boat will stop at the Mingxiang Pier on the Nanyun Canal to replenish supplies..”
He lowered his head and said no more, waiting for the evil young man's decision..
quite a while.
“The time of their departure is uncertain, and they are far away from the city. They have just set off and are most vigilant. It is inconvenient to take action." The evil young man opened his eyes and said softly: "I will ask Senior Sister Yu for help and arrange some people to assist me. In Nanyun Hands-on tour around the Mingxiang pier of the canal.”
“Fight for it and kill Wu Yuan in one fell swoop.”
“Choose some smart and capable people under your command and follow me to Mingxiang Pier tonight." The evil young man ordered..
“I understand." The middle-aged man in black robe nodded..
Deploy people？
As long as he is not allowed to go and allocate most of the strength of this stronghold, the middle-aged man in black robe will have no objection..
On the contrary, if the mission fails and the superiors investigate, he can take the opportunity to blame all the problems accumulated in the past on the evil young man..
The middle-aged man in black robe is preparing to leave.
“By the way, you will come with me for this mission." The evil young man's voice was cold..
……
The second day.
Leaving the city, Wu Mansion Middle Courtyard.
Wu Yuan, Gu Ji, Wan Qin, Wu Xiong and other guards, Wu Qiming and a large number of people gathered here.
“Yuan'er, we are traveling thousands of miles to Nanmeng. Please pay attention to safety on this journey." Wan Qin asked..
“Mom, I just went to Nanmeng Mansion to check my strength, and I will naturally come back when everything is over." Wu Yuan said helplessly..
Wan Qin has said this many times in the past two days..
The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles.
Moreover, this trip to Nanmeng will pass through several counties, and the round trip is more than a thousand miles.？
“Brother Wu, I would like to thank you for taking care of me on this journey." Wan Qin glanced at Wu Yuan and then looked at Wu Xiong aside..
“Haha, sister-in-law, don’t worry.”
Wu Xiong was wearing civilian clothes and carrying two short guns on his back. He was straightforward: "As long as I am here, you don't have to worry about Wu Yuan's safety.".”
He vowed.
“Patriarch." Wu Yuan looked at Wu Qiming.
“The news that you have become a special recruit of the Martial Academy has been sent back to the clan." Wu Qiming said: "The clan sent a letter, I hope you can take the time to go there..”
“The main sect? "Wu Yuan frowned slightly..
He has neither a good impression nor a bad opinion of the head of the Wu family, but he believes that doing more is worse than doing less, and he doesn't want to go.
“Although my Wu family in Licheng is independent, I am still one of the same clan as them." Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan and sighed: "When the time comes, if you really have time, you can go there..”
“Okay." Wu Yuan nodded, he also understood that he had nothing to do with the main sect..
But there must be some connection between the two..
Maybe the main sect has ordered to come to Wu Qiming's place..
So what if I go there myself?？
After all, the Nanmeng Wu family is just a medium-sized family in Fucheng. It is comparable to the Luo family in Licheng. How capable can it be?？
Everyone communicated. "Lei Tao, you can set off first. Once the boat enters the canal, you can turn back." Wu Xiong said to another powerful man wearing heavy armor..
“Yes." The mighty man said solemnly and gave an order: "Let's go.”
Wow! Wow！
I saw him and a group of people filing out, walking out of the middle courtyard along the gate, and walking towards the outer courtyard..
There are a total of twelve people in this team, ten of whom are wearing city guard armor.’.
A young man is wearing the uniform of a martial arts disciple. He is about the same height and shape as Wu Yuan. Even his face shape is somewhat similar. He is also wearing makeup and has his head lowered. At first glance, he looks a lot like Wu Yuan..
There is another person who is dressed similarly to those from before the ancient times..
Soon, the team disappeared from everyone's sight, and the gate of the middle courtyard was immediately closed..
“Wu Yuan, this is a suspicious soldier arranged by the county guard..”
Wu Xiong smiled and said: "In the past few days, the Supervision Department in the county has noticed that there are many forces secretly inquiring about your whereabouts. Although the possibility of actually taking action is very low, we have to guard against it..”
“So, we let out the wind and you will go to Namco by boat.”
“The substitute will be careful throughout the process, try not to show his face, and board the boat directly in a carriage." Wu Xiong said solemnly: "When their boat sets off and attracts the attention of all parties, we will pretend to leave the city and ride on horseback to the place eighty miles away. Qinglongtan', there is another boat prepared by the county governor for us.”
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
I don't care much about assassinations..
After all, with the talent currently displayed, it is rare for the hostile forces of Hengyun Sect to send second-rate masters to assassinate them..
Send first-class experts? Very small probability.
However, it was beyond Wu Yuan's expectation that County Governor Jiang Dongque could make such detailed arrangements, and he had to admire his thoughtfulness in his heart.’.
Who can be a fool if he can serve as a county guard?？
Everyone waited for nearly an hour.
“"Wu Yuan, let's leave in batches from the back door, enter the 'Yang Mansion' next door, and then ride out of the city." Wu Xiong said.
Wu Yuan is incompetent.
In fact, the twelve of them have already changed their costumes. They are all dressed up as knights and knights, and their makeup has also changed..
Jiangdong Palace even arranged for six more ordinary city guard sergeants to accompany them..
In this way.
There are already suspected soldiers. The original group of twelve people has been changed to "eighteen people" to minimize the possibility of exposure..
……
As Wu Xiong expected, after the boat the suspect was on board left, the eighteen of them left the city without causing any disturbance at all..
Such teams of knights are very common in any place in the seven states of the Central Plains..
“There is no need to skimp on horsepower, speed up, and try to reach Qinglong Beach within an hour." Wu Xiong said: "At that time, we will board the ship directly and set off. It will be faster than the suspect's ship, and it is the safest..”
“good.”
“Walk! "A group of eighteen people galloped along the 'official road'.
This official road was established during the heyday of the Chujiang Empire. The ground was solid and thick, and a post station was set up every dozens of miles..
Together with all prefectures, counties and counties within the territory,.
Ensure information can be delivered as quickly as possible！
Since the Hengyun Sect took full control of several areas, the degree of control over the local areas has actually been better than that at the end of the Chujiang Empire..
Along the way, you will occasionally encounter convoys and pedestrians.
But whenever they encounter Wu Yuan's cavalry, they will give way one after another..
As long as you're not a fool.
When you see the team of knights all riding the "Western Frost Horse", you will know that it is very difficult to mess with. Please note that a Western Frost Horse is worth hundreds of taels of silver..
“With such a fast pace, even if someone is missing, they will most likely be thrown away." Wu Xiong's laughter echoed in the wind: "But Wu Yuan, your riding skills are not weak..”
“Not as good as Uncle Wu." Wu Yuan said with a smile..
He has no experience in riding horses, but he is a powerful warrior with a high degree of control over his body. With a little adaptation, he can rival some powerful knights..
“but！”
Wu Yuan was calm on the surface, and his eyes kept scanning both sides of the road: "There are obviously no signs of being followed, why, I always feel like someone is staring at me？”
After entering Dantian Palace, Wu Yuan's perception has become extremely sharp.！
……Nearly three thousand meters above the ground.
A large light blue bird with a wingspan of about two meters is circling and soaring.
It looks like a big eagle, and its color almost blends in with the color of the sky, making it difficult for people on the ground to detect it.！
Only those cold eyes with black light looked down, staring at the people who were driving at high speed on the straight official road, and they looked like little cavalry members..
《"Dongzhou Bird Records": In the mountains where Dongzhou and Minzhou meet, there is a strange bird. Its feather color changes with the seasons, which is the same as the color of the sky. It understands human nature and can talk to people. Its body is as long as an eagle. It often swims at an altitude of 10,000 meters. It is extremely fast and can travel thousands of miles in a day. People call it the 'invisible bird'.’.
