Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1112: Pass Code
While the two groups of troops were fighting fiercely in the dense forest, at the foot of Beimang Mountain on the other side, in the almost equally dark night, a few screams were drowned out by the unusually turbulent waves of the Yellow River that night, but the bloody smell could not be concealed and permeated the night air, but was soon swept away by the bitingly cold night wind.

Several tall soldiers dressed in black stood in the bloody wind.

At their feet, there were four or five corpses lying in a mess.

After the middle-aged leader of the group got the answer he wanted, he twisted the neck of the last survivor in his hand, but he was still not at ease. He squatted down and checked carefully. After confirming that the other scouts on the ground were dead, he breathed a sigh of relief and then frowned and said to a soldier beside him: "Ajing, I told you to be careful when you do it. Try not to tear your clothes. Look!"

As he spoke, he pointed to one of the bodies.

That was the first scout to be killed when they took action just now. He was stabbed in the chest, his clothes were torn into a big hole, and a large area was stained red with blood.

The young man who was being rebuked by him, Jing, muttered, "Why would you care about clothes after you've killed the people?"

On the other side, an equally young soldier asked, "Boss Zheng, the general asked us to come here to kill these scouts. Did he know they were here a long time ago?"

Boss Zheng smiled and said, "Of course."

"If you knew it long ago, why didn't you take action until today?"

"If we kill them early and no news is sent back, the people at Hulao Pass will find out soon and send another group of people. By then, we will have to look for these people again, and it will be endless."

"..."

"Besides, they know that the people they sent out earlier were killed, so they will be more cautious, making it difficult to catch them."

"..."

"It would be better to let them ambush here. Anyway, there has been no war recently, and they can't get any important military information. On the contrary, we can keep track of their whereabouts at all times, and accomplish great things at the critical moment."

Hearing these words, everyone sighed: "The general is indeed wise."

The young soldier asked again: "Well, what will it accomplish if we kill them?"

When this was mentioned, Boss Zheng glared at him again before saying, "The general asked us to find these scouts and kill them, then put on their clothes and use the secret code we got out of them to enter Hulao Pass!"

"what!?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was shocked.

The order they received at the beginning was only to kill these scouts, but now they know that there is a subsequent task. No wonder Boss Zheng left a person alive in such a dangerous situation just now and interrogated the other party for a long time. It turned out that he wanted to get the secret code to pass the level.

The other soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said, "Shall we go into Hulao Pass?"

"What can we do?"

"That's Hulao Pass. Even General Xiaoshi was captured alive before!"

Mr. Zheng said: "It is because General Xiaoshi was captured alive that we have to enter Hulao Pass tonight!" When everyone heard this, they immediately understood - it turned out that their main task tonight was to enter Hulao Pass and rescue the captured General Xiaoshi Shi Yutao!

Everyone looked at each other. Being chosen to participate in tonight's operation, they were naturally not ordinary soldiers. Instead, they were a group of masters carefully trained by Xiao Yuansui. Therefore, after the fierce battle just now, they eliminated this group of scouts almost without any injuries. However, when it came to entering Hulao Pass, a trace of doubt appeared in the eyes of several people - after all, that was not an ordinary place.

Some of them had witnessed the might of Qin Wang Yuwen Ye and the bravery of Shentu Tai, while others had heard about it.

So, someone asked, "Can we rescue General Xiaoshi from Yuwen Ye and Shentu Tai? Just us?"

Then Elder Zheng said, "If we force our way in, I'm afraid even if the general sends thousands or tens of thousands of troops, it may not work. But I just found out the pass code for Hulao Pass tonight. If we put on the scouts' clothes and pretend to be them, we can enter Hulao Pass smoothly."

Everyone then understood what he meant by complaining about ruining his clothes.

But some people were still worried: "But even if there are not many people in Hulao Pass, there must be several thousand people."

Then Elder Zheng said, "Have you forgotten that Luoyang sent a group of people back to Luocang to get grain? The people at Hulao Pass are guarding here to let their people capture Luoyang. Naturally, they can't let them get grain smoothly, so they will definitely send a large group of people to obstruct them."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the Hulao Pass in the distance, which had long since merged into the night, as if it was just a huge shadow in the dark night. Then he said, "I guess there are not many defenders in Hulao Pass tonight. This is a good opportunity for us to show our skills."

"..."

"Let me tell you, the general has issued an order. Anyone who can rescue General Xiaoshi tonight will be promoted and rewarded!"

When they heard the words "high promotion and generous reward", several people's eyes lit up immediately.

This time, without the need for Boss Zheng to urge them, they hurriedly squatted down, stripped off the clothes that were still warm from the corpses, and put them on randomly. Only Ah Jing saw that his own clothes had been torn into a big hole and were stained with blood. If he wore them to Hulao Pass like this, he was afraid that someone would notice his abnormality before he even entered the gate. So he said, "Then, what should I do?"

Boss Zheng glared at him and said, "You definitely can't wear this to meet people. Don't go in. Just meet us outside."

Ah Jing had no choice but to agree dejectedly.

Soon everyone dressed neatly and rushed towards Hulao Pass under the cover of night. After more than half an hour, they finally arrived at Hulao Pass.

Tonight, there were only a few soldiers patrolling the pass. The torches they held high in their hands could only illuminate the small area in front of them. It was not until this group of people walked close to the city gate that they were discovered by the people above. The soldiers immediately shouted, "Who are you!?"

Suddenly, these soldiers held their breath.

Boss Zheng was particularly heavy-hearted. He took out the token he had found from a scout and held it up high: "We."

The soldier above waved his torch and took a closer look. He immediately recognized it as the scout's token. He nodded and was about to turn around and tell the people below to open the city gate, but then he remembered something and poked his head out from the tower: "Password!"

Boss Zheng raised his head and said clearly, "Dharma Guardian Vajra!"

Hearing these four words, the soldier finally nodded in relief, turned around and shouted behind him, and then, with a heavy and hoarse sound, the gate of Hulao Pass slowly opened in front of them.
