Border Soldier: My fiancée snatched credit and broke off the engagement, so I promptly became a marq

Chapter 13 Anyone who wants to enter the fortress must first kneel before speaking.

No one spoke on the north slope of the city wall.

Everyone was watching the small car parked below the city.

The girl in the gray fur coat was tied to the car, her hands were tied behind her back, and her long hair was blown wildly by the wind.

She looked disheveled.

But her eyes didn't look like those of a prisoner at all.

She was looking at the city wall.

To be more precise, they were looking at Chen Mu.

Like a fox with a noose around its neck, it's still being held up, but it's already starting to examine the gaps in the cage.

The white horse barbarian smiled calmly.

"Han people".

"You killed Wugudu, you killed the Black Wolf Guard."

I admire you.

"Get down."

"I'll trade her for you alone."

Zhao Chenglie sneered.

"Chen Mu, don't you like taking credit?"

"Get down."

"A female spy might just be another great achievement."

Chen Mu ignored him.

Lu Shuangyi said, "This is to lure you out of the fortress."

Chen Mu nodded.

"Yes."

"Then let's not change it."

The barbarian on the white horse below the city raised an eyebrow.

He clearly hadn't expected Chen Mu to answer so quickly.

The girl who had been tied up was also stunned for a moment.

Chen Mu stood on the wall, looking down at her.

"You can go into the castle if you want."

"Let her come over herself."

The white horse barbarian's smile faded slightly.

"She was tied up."

Chen Mu said, "That's your business."

The white horse barbarian's eyes were slightly cold.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill her?"

Chen Mu said, "A spy from the South Gate."

"Kill him, it'll save me trouble."

The soldiers guarding the city wall were startled by what they heard.

tough enough.

But it's right enough.

Since that girl was a spy from the South Gate, she was an enemy.

The enemy offered to exchange the enemy for Chen Mu, so why should Chen Mu go down?

The white-horse barbarian looked at Chen Mu.

"She knows about the Zhao family and the Black Tiger Camp."

Upon hearing this, many people on the city wall changed their expressions.

Zhao Hong's eyes narrowed slightly.

Han Zhao watched from afar in the Black Tiger Camp on the east side, his face gloomy.

Chen Mu smiled.

"Then she absolutely cannot die."

The white-horse barbarian said, "So get down."

Chen Mu shook his head.

"No."

"If she really knew about the Zhao family and the Black Tiger Camp, you wouldn't be willing to kill her."

"If you're willing to kill her, it means what she knows is worthless."

"Then I don't need to go down."

The smile on the white horse barbarian's face vanished completely.

The bound girl suddenly burst out laughing.

Her laughter was very soft.

Despite the wind and snow, the sound was clearly transmitted to the top of the wall.

The white-horse barbarian turned to look at her.

The girl said something in a barbarian language.

The white-horse barbarian's face immediately turned ugly.

Lu Shuangyi looked at the guard beside her who understood the Manchu language.

The guard whispered, "She said the Han people are smarter than you."

Someone on the city wall couldn't help but laugh.

Anger flashed in the eyes of the white-horse barbarian.

He waved his hand.

A barbarian soldier drew his sword and held it to the girl's neck.

The blade pressed a thin line of blood into the skin.

The girl, however, was still looking at Chen Mu.

Their eyes are brighter.

Chen Mu said, "Stop pretending."

The girl blinked.

Chen Mu said, "The rope on your wrist has been loosened for a long time."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the girl's hand.

The girl's smile vanished.

Chen Mu continued, "When you looked up just now, your right shoulder shifted forward an inch."

"This indicates the knot is not tight."

"You weren't captured by them."

"You came with them."

"You want to use them to get into Blackrock Fortress."

The white horse barbarian's expression also changed.

He turned around abruptly.

The girl sighed.

The next instant, she pulled her wrist back and actually managed to break free from the rope.

Just as the barbarian soldier with the knife to her neck was about to react, she ducked down and crashed into his arms, her elbow slamming into his ribs.

The barbarian soldier bent over in pain.

The girl casually pulled out the short knife from his waist and cut the rope around his ankle.

The movements were clean and efficient.

A commotion erupted on the city wall, and several guards simultaneously tightened their bowstrings.

Zhao Chenglie was dumbfounded.

"She...she's really faking it?"

Chen Mu glanced at him.

"Do you think everyone is like you?"

Zhao Chenglie's face darkened.

Chaos broke out outside the city.

The white-horse barbarian roared, and his guards immediately went to seize the girl.

The girl, however, seemed to have planned it all along. She rolled off the cart, using the cart to block two arrows, and ran towards the base of the Black Stone Fortress wall.

She ran very fast.

It's not about running far away.

They ran towards the city gate.

Lu Shuangyi's eyes turned cold.

"Archer".

The archer nocks an arrow.

Chen Mu raised his hand.

"Don't shoot."

Lu Shuangyi looked at him.

Chen Mu said, "She didn't come to surrender."

"I'm here to deliver something."

The girl rushed all the way to the wall.

She did not cry for help.

They didn't ask for the door to be opened.

Instead, he took out a roll of animal hide from his bosom and held it high.

"Chen Mu!"

She called his name for the first time.

Her Mandarin is very standard.

"Do you want to know who sold Su Wan's location to Wugudu last night?"

The city walls fell silent instantly.

Su Wan stood at the back, her face deathly pale.

Chen Mu looked down at her.

"Throw it up."

The girl smiled.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"If I throw it up there, will you still open the door?"

Chen Mu said, "No."

The girl laughed in exasperation.

"You're really not a likable person."

Chen Mu said, "Whether someone is likable or not is not important."

"Living is important."

The girl stared at him for a while.

Suddenly, he stuffed the animal hide into his mouth and bit down on one corner.

Then raise both hands.

"Open the small basket."

There are hanging baskets on the city wall.

It was usually used to carry water, stones, and wounded soldiers.

Lu Shuangyi frowned.

"She might be hiding drugs."

Chen Mu said, "That's why we won't let her in."

He asked Lao Chai to bring the hanging basket.

They then had iron chains wrapped around the outside of the hanging basket.

Place it only three feet off the ground.

"Raise your hands."

The girl rolled her eyes, but did as she was told.

"Turn around."

The girl turned around.

"Kneel down."

The girl paused.

She looked up at Chen Mu.

"You want me to kneel?"

Chen Mu said, "If you want to make a deal, then follow my rules."

The girl's eyes turned cold for a moment.

The barbarian soldiers outside the city have already caught up.

She had no time to hesitate.

She gritted her teeth and slowly knelt down in the snow.

Su Wan felt a sudden tremor in her heart as she watched this scene.

Last night, Chen Mu made her kneel and return the cloak.

Now, he made this enemy spy kneel and hand over the intelligence.

This is not an insult to women.

This is Chen Mu setting rules for everyone who wants to take advantage of him.

No matter who you are.

Su Wan, Zhao Chenglie, and Han Zhao are still spies from an enemy country.

If you want to get into his game, you have to be humble first.

Only after the girl knelt down did Chen Mu lower the basket.

"Put the animal hide in."

The girl spat out the animal hide from her mouth and put it into the hanging basket.

The basket is raised.

Chen Mu did not touch it directly.

Let Zhou Tie use the tip of his knife to pry it open.

The animal hide was painted with the terrain surrounding Blackrock Fortress.

The North Slope, South Gate, Zhao Residence, and Black Tiger Camp were all marked.

There is also a red line.

Bypassing the Black Tiger Camp from behind, one can reach the valley on the north slope.

Lu Shuangyi glanced at it, and her expression changed slightly.

"An ambush in the side valley."

Chen Mu nodded.

"If Han Zhao is forced to take action, the Black Tiger Camp's flank will be cut off by the barbarian cavalry."

Lu Shuangyi understood instantly.

The Northern Barbarians did not simply attack fortresses.

They also wanted to eat the Black Tiger Camp.

Han Zhao sat on the mountain watching the tigers fight, thinking he was just watching a play.

He was actually in the play too.

Chen Mu looked down at the girl.

"What's your name?"

The girl knelt in the snow and looked up at him.

His eyes held both anger and laughter.

"Anado".

"Wugu is my uncle."

A commotion erupted on the city wall, and several guards simultaneously tightened their bowstrings.

Zhao Chenglie subconsciously took a half step back.

Lu Shuangyi pressed her hand on the hilt of the knife.

Chen Mu, however, remained expressionless.

"Your uncle died at my hands last night."

Anato said, "So I want to see if the person who killed him was just a stupid fool who only knows how to fight desperately."

Chen Mu asked, "Have you finished reading it now?"

Anado licked the blood from the corner of her lips.

"More interesting than I thought."

Chen Mu asked, "Why are you helping me?"

Anado smiled.

"I'm not helping you."

"I'll help myself."

"The man on that white horse is called Batu, and he is from the Northern Barbarian King's camp."

"He wants to use me as bait to test you, and also to kill me here."

"I don't want to die."

Chen Mu looked at her.

"Do you know about the Zhao family and the Black Tiger Camp?"

Anato said, "I know a little."

"But if you want to hear it, you have to let me into the castle."

Chen Mu shook his head.

"not enough."

Anato squinted.

"What's not enough?"

Chen Mu said, "Your life isn't worth it."

Anato's smile froze.

Chen Mu continued, "A map can only save you from being shot dead on the spot."

"If you want to go into the fort, take something heavier."

The barbarian troops outside the city are already approaching.

The arrow grazed Anato as it fell.

She gritted her teeth.

"Batu will not attack the north slope tonight."

"What he really wants to attack is the Black Tiger Camp on the east side."

"Once the Black Tiger Camp is in chaos, Black Stone Fortress will open its gates to rescue people."

"Back then, Zhao's former subordinates would set fire to it."

Chen Mu asked, "Where should we set the fire?"

Anado looked at him.

"Hall of Military Merit"

The expressions of everyone on the city wall changed completely.

Han Zhao wanted to burn down the Military Merit Hall.

The Zhao family also wanted to burn down the Military Merit Hall.

The Northern Barbarians also targeted the Hall of Military Merit.

Because everyone knows that Chen Mu has bound the hearts of the people of Blackstone Fortress to that list and that book.

Chen Mu asked, "Anything else?"

Anato laughed in anger.

"Not enough?"

Chen Mu shook his head.

"Not enough, you can go into the castle instead."

Anato's eyes turned completely cold.

She suddenly pulled something out of her bosom and held it high.

It was a half-burnt wooden plaque.

There is a Chinese character engraved on it.

Han.

Lu Shuangyi's pupils contracted.

Anato said:

"This is the waist tag of the messenger sent by Han Zhao to the barbarian camp."

"I stole it."

Is that enough?

Chen Mu looked at the wooden plaque and finally nodded.

"Raise her up."

Anato breathed a sigh of relief.

But Chen Mu's next words made her face stiffen again.

"Tie your hands."

Blindfold.

"search."

"After entering the fortress, speak while kneeling."

Anato looked up and glared at him.

"Chen Mu!"

Chen Mu looked down at her.

"That's my rule."

In the distance, the White Horse Barbarian Batu roared and ordered his archers to fire.

The basket was lowered.

Anato gritted her teeth and crawled inside herself.

The cooks on the city wall pulled the basket up.

Arrows rained down from below the city.

One of the arrows grazed Anado's shoulder, drawing a trail of blood.

She gritted her teeth and didn't scream.

When the basket was halfway up, an arrow suddenly severed one of the ropes.

The entire basket tilted suddenly.

Anato's expression finally changed.

Just as she was about to fall, Chen Mu leaned forward and grabbed the iron chain.

The wound on his chest instantly reopened.

Blood seeped from inside the outer robe.

Lin Qinghe exclaimed in surprise from behind.

"Chen Mu!"

Lu Shuangyi also reached out to pull him.

Chen Mu gritted his teeth and dragged the hanging basket back to the wall.

Anato rolled out of the basket and fell onto the snow.

She looked up and saw the blood on Chen Mu's chest.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Chen Mu looked down at her.

"Now."

"Speak on your knees."

Anato stared at him.

After a moment, she slowly smiled.

Then, in front of everyone in Blackrock Fortress, he knelt on the snow-covered ground of the city wall.

"it is good."

"I said."

Outside the north slope, Batu's bugle call was lowered again.

He didn't send in prisoners.

It's another knife.
