Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 78

The place indicated by the cross is the position of the city's defenders. The merchants can say a lot, but it is already a lot for them. In the past, so many brothers were sacrificed to go there, and few came back, and they brought back very little news.

"Everyone follow me to the camp." Su Qianmo led the merchants to collect the rewards and sent soldiers to send them away, and then returned to the camp. The officers had already integrated the information of all the merchants. , to draw the overall large map.

Mu Chaobi was very happy with this unexpected harvest, "Once this thing is drawn, we don't have to be so passive."

"Master Mu, the road will be blocked soon with such heavy snow." As soon as Su Qianmo finished speaking, someone rushed over shouting 'report', and when he saw Mu Chaobu, he knelt down and said, "My lord , A suspicious team was found in the forest on the right side of the city gate."

"Did you stop it?" Mu Chaobi's expression immediately turned cold.

"It has been intercepted. It is said that the caravan has fallen. Because the city gate is closed, I want to go back to the city." Mu Chaobi looked at Su Qianmo, who shook his head, "All the merchants sent out have returned. Yes, there are a few people stopped."

"There are about ten people."

"They all said they were merchants from Yangguan?" Su Qian looked at the soldier nodding silently, with a serious look on his face, "Before I found all the merchants in Yangguan and registered them all at once, and even those who were unwilling to help There are only a few, there won’t be a dozen or so who haven’t come back suddenly.”

Not a businessman from Yangguan, Daxuetian dressed up like this and wanted to sneak into Yangguan, what else could he do except to inquire about the news here.

"Take care that there are ten people, send another team to guard, don't let them run away." The soldier led the order, and Mu Chaobi said worriedly, "I'm afraid the news that the sixth prince was injured and returned has already spread."

"Master Mu, I'll go over and have a look." Su Qian walked out silently, and heard Mu Chaobi calling for someone to come over, saying that he should strengthen his guard, increase the number of patrols at the city gate, and keep an eye on the situation outside the city gate.

The ten or so people were locked in a tent wearing the clothes that Yangguan merchants often wear. When Su Qianmo entered, one of them was arguing with the soldiers, "Why don't you let us go home, even if you don't let us go home now, At least we can send someone to inform our family members so that they can rest assured that we have arrived at Yangguan.”

The soldiers watched Su Qianmo come in, nodded towards him and went outside to guard. Su Qianmo looked at these ten or so people, looked around, his eyes fell on their goods, and asked with a smile, "You guys this time It’s late, and the merchants who have to rush back to Yangguan before the snowfall know how many places they went to, not to mention that the snow is late this year.”

At first, the person who was arguing with the soldiers stood up and cupped his hands towards Su Qianmo, "My lord, we went to Atut City in Beitu, because it was the first time we went and the route was unfamiliar, so we came late. "

"I told you to go there for thousands of miles, there must be something good." Su Qianmo continued to ask, one of the merchants opened his suitcase, and there were many boxes in it, "We are here for Atut's spices." Yes, it’s new, so what we bring is expensive.”

Su Qian took a box and sniffed it silently. He was not afraid that they would inject some medicine. In such a large military camp, it was easy to knock him down, but it was difficult to knock down one piece.

"What's the use of this, it smells good." Su Qianmo praised, and caught a glimpse of pride in the businessman's eyes.

"This is good for health and tranquility, just put a piece of it in the incense burner." Su Qianmo took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it to him, "Then sell it to me." Seeing him standing there in a daze , "Why, not enough?"

"No, no, adults like it. We should give it to you. I just hope that adults can let us go back quickly so that we can reunite with our families." The businessmen said one after another, wanting to take things out of the box.

"No need, it will be a matter of time before you let you go, but it's not right now. There is food and drink here, and I won't abuse you. If you are worried about your family, tell us your address, and we will inform you for you."

The businessman who was clamoring to bring a message to his family suddenly fell silent. They looked at each other, and one of them smiled, "Naturally, we trust your lord, and hope that we can go out sooner."

"That's natural." Su Qianmo threw the box in his hand to catch it, and he went out of the camp and shouted to the soldiers outside, "No matter what the reason is, don't let them out of the tent, and I will eat, drink, and scatter. If anyone dares to let them out inside, if one loses one, go get a hundred army sticks by yourself."

It was already dark at this time, and the snow was a little lighter. Su Qianmo went to Mu Chaobu's camp, and then went to the city gate. The number of teams patrolling back and forth increased several times, and people walked past the city tower from time to time. Qianmo stood on it and looked into the distance, just waiting for it to get dark.

When it was dark, the snow had stopped. Looking from the gate tower, all the houses were brightly lit, surrounded by illuminated white snow, and a fire was lit on the gate tower. Su Qian silently looked at the dark front, and did not What an exception.

"My lord, why don't you go to rest first, we are here." A pair of soldiers came over, Su Qianmo shook his head, and walked into the wind-shielded tower hut, where a pot was lit for heating, but the surrounding area was blown with cold wind , not warm up at all.

He sat down and covered his body with the cloak behind him. The dozen or so pretend businessmen came too strangely, and they couldn't be taken lightly until they figured it out.

One hand touched the purse hanging on his waist, Su Qianmo reached out and took it off, gently stroked the bead, as if he could feel the situation when Yin Huan was sewing, and felt the front of the purse only to find that it was the bead. It can be opened.

Su Qianmo took out an amulet folded into a triangle, and there were some scriptures in it.

Thinking of Yin Huan's reluctance in Nanshan Temple that day, Su Qian smiled silently, put it back carefully, checked carefully several times to make sure it wouldn't fall off, and then let it go, there was still nothing unusual in the distance, Su Qian squinted his eyes and leaned against the wind.

I don't know how long I slept, when suddenly a soldier ran over, Su Qianmo woke up from it, and before the soldier said anything, he saw the faint fire not far away, and said, "Send someone to the barracks to inform Lord Mu .”

The tower reacted very quickly, and Mu Chaobu had already prepared for it. He quickly assembled soldiers and gathered at the gate of the city. The fire gradually approached, and when it was a few hundred meters away from the tower, it suddenly stopped moving. Su Qian watched silently. Looking at them, even if they didn't expect it, they counted the merchants of Sunshine this year, so when a dozen people appeared, it seemed particularly abrupt.

Su Qian went down the tower silently and changed into a suit of armor, and the upper and lower walls of the city were quietly assembled.

As if waiting for the dawn to come, it must be the time when people are sleeping peacefully, when suddenly the soldiers on the city tower beat drums, and the sound of hooves of horses galloped towards them.

"Open the city gate!" Mu Chaobi shouted when he saw the approaching army clearly, and led the troops out on horseback. Su Qianmo looked at the menacing Beitu army. Mu Chaobu laughed loudly, "Your prince was beaten away by us, what are you still doing here?"

"Of course it's reserved for you to collect the corpse." Mu Chaobi didn't ignore the surprise that flashed across the leader's face. It stands to reason that someone shouldn't come out so soon at this time. At least they have to wait until they are halfway through the siege. They only attacked when there was a whistling sound just now.

"Don't look for it, it's over there." Su Qianmo shouted loudly, drew his sword and pointed at the city wall, the soldiers pressed two merchants and came up, one of them had a short whistle in his hand, and he knew that they couldn't bear it. live.

The leader slammed the hammer into the snow. Su Qianmo looked at the splashed snow, his eyes darkened, and the hammer was quickly retracted. Even so, he could not choose to retreat at this time. The leader looked eagle-eyed. He swept across the group of people viciously, and said arrogantly, "You princes can't beat me, it's up to you!"

The war was on the verge of breaking out, and in just a split second, the leader urged his horse to rush over, waving the hammer in his hand. The first target was Mu Chaobu in the middle, and the Beitu army behind him followed immediately, and morning came with the sword swing.

Even if they were well prepared, there is still a big gap between the soldiers of Dajin and the Beitu Army in terms of physical fitness. They can withstand the severe cold, but they are also well prepared. This is destined to be a difficult battle to win. As the weather gradually When it lit up, more and more corpses appeared in the white snow, and the bright red ones were dyed on the snow, one piece after another.

Su Qianmo pulled out the saber from the body of the fallen Beitu army, looked not far away at the Beitu leader holding a hammer who was still killing people immediately, pulled out a spear stuck in the ground and threw it viciously , Straight to the horse's belly.

The war horse neighed, and the leader fell off the horse and rolled around on the spot and stood up. Su Qianmo rushed all the way, and the two started fighting without saying a word.

There were fewer and fewer Beitu soldiers. Hundreds of soldiers gathered at the gate of the city. Su Qianmo raised his sword on the leader's shoulder, and the big hammer rolled weakly on the ground. Su Qianmo sneered, "Let's Let me teach you what is our Dajinzhao Kung Fu."

The leader clutched his injured shoulder and pulled a Beitu army to block Su Qianmo's blow. How could the sixth uncle lose? Su Qianmo saw clearly, it was the leader who said something, and the sixth uncle was distracted. He will be attacked by him, Su Qian's silent moves are deadly, using the sword skills that the sixth prince taught him in the past.

"Why, don't fight back. Didn't you say that Uncle Six can't beat you? I'll use Uncle Six's tricks to return it to you." Su Qianmo swung his sword and was bound by the iron chain of his hammer. It still hit him on the right chest.

With the arrival of hundreds of soldiers, the victory is imminent. The inspiring drums kept ringing on the city tower. The Beitu army saw that they were wrong, and the rest hurried away. This time they didn't stop. Mu Chaobu only raised his sword and shouted He said, "Chasing."

The remaining Beitu Army without their leader was like a mess of loose sand. They were caught up before they ran far, and all those who survived were captured. Yangguan cheered.

Before Mu Chaobu could say anything, the bearded officer hurried over and said to him, "My lord, Mr. Su is gone. I only found his sword and the weapon of the leader of the Beitu army at the back of the mountain." .”
