Jiang Suizhou didn't expect that Huo Wujiu took him directly to the city wall.
The sky went dark, the soldiers' camp under the city wall lit a fire, and the city wall was pitch black, and nothing was seen. Huo Wujiu quite skillfully found a dead corner of the guard, and led Jiang Suizhou on the wall and jumped up.
The city wall of Lin'an is very high, separating the inside and outside of the city into two worlds.
Inside the city is a bustling city full of lights, while outside the city, there are scattered bright camps.
Huo Wujiu took Jiang Suizhou and sat down on the edge of the city wall.
When Jiang Suizhou lowered his head, he could see the excitement.
This bustle is different from the city. What illuminates the camp is the fire on the ground, braving the steaming heat. The voices of the soldiers around the fire were not small, they were talking and laughing noisily, as if they were boiled by the flames.
They sat on the ground, the wine jars and food were all placed on the ground, and the aroma of the wine and meat rose with the rising heat.
Jiang Suizhou's eyes were a little straight for a while.
"It's very lively," he said. "Are they doing this every day?"
"Because it will start tomorrow, so it will be like this today." Huo Wujiu said to the side. "It's the rule of the army."
He seemed to always sit on the city wall, with more than ten feet of space hanging under his feet, but his legs were dangling leisurely, and he even raised his other leg and stepped on the edge of the city wall.
On the contrary, Jiang Suizhou was quite nervous, and Huo Wujiu helped him sit down, and he dared not move any more.
"Since then, it has been a lot of hard work." Jiang Suizhou said, looking at Huo Wugui. "You will be with them tomorrow?"
Huo Wujiu put his arms on his knees and looked sideways at Jiang Suizhou: "Lou Yue has already sent two sets of uniforms, and Wei Kai and I will sneak in tomorrow."
"Then they won't find out?" Jiang Suizhou asked.
"The leader is Ji Hongcheng." Huo Wujiu said. "Reliable, you can rest assured."
Jiang Suizhou nodded.
Then Huo Wugui said: "It's you. Although I will go back and forth faster, Lou Yue is also in the city, but you must be careful not to let Pang Shao find out."
Jiang Suizhou answered, "Okay."
Huo Wujiu added: "There are still some people in my city. They will protect you from now on. Tomorrow I have a subordinate who will enter the mansion. You don't need to worry about him, he knows what to do."
Jiang Suizhou nodded.
"So..." He looked at Huo Wujiu. "Really there is no danger?"
Huo Wujiu looked down at him. He dared not tell the truth.
He didn't know how many soldiers the other party would bring, what kind of mind he would send, and what kind of generals he would send.
These are not for him to be sure, and even he can't say how likely he is to win. The only thing he was certain was that he would not let Jiang Suizhou stay alone in a dangerous situation for too long anyway.
He raised his hand to touch Jiang Suizhou's hair, but he stopped halfway through his hand.
He said confidently: "As long as you don't have an accident, you are safe, rest assured."
Jiang Suizhou looked at him.
If he was the same as he was a few months ago, he would never worry at all. Who is Huo Wujiu? The beaming god of war has always been invincible. Even if he stumbles once, there will never be a second time. In front of him, nothing is problematic.
but now…
Huo Wujiu was not the general who was given the godhead in the history books.
He is his sweetheart.
After a long time, Jiang Suizhou slowly opened his mouth.
"Then you must do what you say." He said. "Can't lie to me."
—
Early the next morning, the army outside the city was pulled out.
Huo Wujiu's whereabouts were quite secret, and his movements were quick. When Jiang Suizhou got up early in the morning and rushed to his room, he was no longer in the wheelchair.
He was a young man about the same height as him. When he saw him coming in, the man looked at him up and down, so he landed on the ground and stood up, arched his hands towards Jiang Suizhou: "This is your Royal Highness Jing? Subordinate Nie Yao. , I am specially ordered by the general to protect the prince."
Jiang Suizhou was stunned for a moment before he found his voice and said: "...he has already left?"
Nie Yao said: "An hour ago, his subordinates sent the general out of the city."
Jiang Suizhou lowered his eyes and whispered after a while: "So early..."
Nie Yao nodded: "Yes. The general specially ordered not to disturb your rest."
Jiang Suizhou smiled at him, somehow, the corners of his mouth were a little heavy, and the smile was a little reluctant: "I know. You just stay here at ease. I have already told Meng Qianshan, you don't need to worry about food and clothing, if there is anything wrong. , I will definitely come to you."
Nie Yao replied, and Jiang Suizhou turned around and went out.
With the door closed, the early summer wind in early June blew on him, clearly soft, but Jiang Suizhou felt a little cold.
He turned around and looked at the closed door.
He hadn't noticed it. Since he crossed over, this was the first day that Huo Wujiu was away from him.
It's so unaccustomed to people, and even feel that the whole world is empty.
He turned around and returned to the main house casually.
Huo Wujiu arranged extremely well for him.
Although Lou Yue was still as aggressive as ever in the courtroom, he was secretly cooperating with him, acting as an outside force and middleman who looked tough but had been emptied step by step by Pang Shao, and from time to time he performed incompetent rage.
Lou Yue diverted Pang Shao's attention, which made Jiang Suizhou a lot more convenient. He sent people to closely monitor Pang Shao's every move, and he was also constantly investigating whether he was changing.
Sure enough, Pang Shao is very busy these days. In addition to taking care of Lou Yue, there are many things outside of the city that make him busy, and daily news exchanges, instead of taking care of Jiang Suizhou.
Jiang Suizhou knew that it must have something to do with Lingnan.
In Pang Shao's many news, he also found out one or two.
The locust plague in Lingnan has become stronger, but the wind has been held down. Pang Wei had already arrived in Lingnan, and he could just wait for an opportunity to stir up the people.
This is also enough to see that Fang Zhaohe is really unconscious.
With just a few sporadic pieces of news, Jiang Suizhou could see that Pang Shao didn't want Fang Zhao to make peace at all. The plague of locusts, corruption of ink, and concealment without reporting, these crimes are stacked together, and they can definitely kill Fang Zhaohe. When Lingnan raises troops, Lin'an will be endangered. When the host dies and Pang Shao pretends to "suppress" the rebellion, he will surely ask his guilt and ask for Fang Zhaohe's head so that he can come back.
But Fang Zhaohe at this time just took care of Pang Shao.
Jiang Suizhou closely observed Pang Shao's every move, and within seven or eight days, Lou Wanjun had secretly ran to his house several times, and she didn't have anything to look for him, but just idled to talk to him.
After coming down several times, Jiang Suizhou finally couldn't help asking his doubts.
It happened to be night. He sorted out the news under the lamp, Lou Wanjun sat in a chair not far away, drinking tea and snacks boredly.
"Who made you come these few times?" Jiang Suizhou asked.
Lou Wanjun paused and said with a smile: "I want to come by myself. I stay at home and have nothing to do, but you are fun here."
Jiang Suizhou couldn't help laughing.
"What's fun with me?" he said. "Go ahead, is it Huo Wugui?"
Lou Wanjun closed her mouth, thought for a while, and finally admitted.
"How did you know?" she asked.
Jiang Suizhou smiled: "It's just a feeling, but I guessed it right—what did he ask you to do?" Lou Wanjun leaned back on the chair.
"Worry about you," she said. "I don't know what this peaceful wife is worried about, but he told my dad harshly, and my dad didn't dare not follow him, so he had to send me as an idler to visit your house every day. But what is the danger, so as to protect you."
Jiang Suizhou only felt that this method was very stupid.
After a while, he smiled helplessly.
"Really..."
Lou Wanjun looked at him with bright eyes.
"Did you see something too?" she asked.
Jiang Suizhou was taken aback: "What?"
Lou Wanjun said: "Huo Wujiu!"
Jiang Suizhou was puzzled: "What happened to Huo Wujiu?"
Lou Wanjun let out a cry, stared at him for a while, and said to herself: "No, you are a broken sleeve, don't you see this?"
Jiang Suizhou's heart beats: "What?"
There were two unbelievable expectations in his eyes.
Lou Wanjun knew it at a glance.
She chuckled.
"Nothing," she said. "You wait for him to come back and let him tell you by himself."
—
At this time, a dark shadow was faintly reflected on the surface of the Yangtze River.
From the north to the south, several ships slowly crossed the wide river surface like potential giant beasts in the night. There is no light on the boat, only when you get close, can you vaguely see the giant shadows of the black buildings.
One after another, the ships landed.
Quietly, many soldiers came down from the ship, wearing thick black armor, and only occasionally a cold star appeared in the night. Gradually, soldiers were displayed on the banks of the river, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers.
And so many people weren't even noticed.
The leader of the army naturally knew what was going on.
Li Sheng sat on the war horse, quietly looking south.
He knew that Wei Kai had sent him a letter saying that the guard here had been bought by Lou Yue and would not be here today. Therefore, at this time, there are only soldiers in his hand on this river bank.
In addition to this, there was another person he had ordered to kill.
The 10,000 people behind him are just bait for the emperor to enter the urn. Naturally, these soldiers didn't know anything, and they all assumed they had come to avenge General Huo.
And only he and the dozens of elites who had already been potential surroundings knew that tonight, they came to kill General Huo and help His Royal Highness eliminate the troubles forever.
He waited quietly.
At this moment, a sound came from a forest in the distance.
"Li Sheng?"
From afar, it was Huo Wujiu's voice.
For a while, the crowds of soldiers behind him were a little excited, faintly making a muffled sound. Li Sheng glanced back coldly and saw dozens of soldiers around him, all ready to go, waiting there.
He smiled coldly.
Because of his prestige, Huo Wujiu is going to be trampled into blood by a horse's hoof today. And these soldiers behind him can only dare not speak, after all, standing behind him, but His Royal Highness.
Li Sheng retracted his gaze and raised his voice: "General, it is the end general!"
While speaking, he waved his hand slightly to signal the soldiers around him to prepare.
His voice fell, and after a while, there was a faint sound from the forest.
A tall man riding a horse galloped out of the forest and came heading towards Li Sheng.
Li Sheng raised his hand.
In the next moment, dozens of arrows pierced the air like a falcon, suddenly tearing the silence of the night, and rushing towards the phantom.
The man on the horse couldn't dodge, and suddenly hit a few arrows, and fell heavily to the ground along with the horse neighing in the middle of the arrow.
Li Sheng's eyes lit up.
It's done.
The soldiers in the array were all dumbfounded and froze for a while. The dozens of soldiers around Li Sheng firmly guarded Li Sheng in the middle.
Li Sheng raised the scroll in his hand.
"This general is here to punish the anti-thief with the emperor's imperial decree!" he said. "Huo Wujiu, a traitor, has already taken refuge in Nanjing! If you don't kill him, he will surely become my future trouble!"
The scroll shone with a slight golden light in the night.
The soldiers around him were struck by lightning, and no one knew what happened tonight. But the imperial decree was held in Li Sheng's hands. Even though they didn't know the truth or not, they didn't believe that Li Sheng really dared to spread the imperial decree, so he killed Huo Wugui in such a stately manner.
For a while, the soldiers in the array did not move at all, but the one man and the horse fell in vain on the empty wasteland.
Upon seeing this, Li Sheng put away the scroll with satisfaction, and rode to the corpse under the elite escort around him.
As long as it is confirmed that Huo Wujiu is dead, his task will be completed.
After tonight, His Royal Highness will no longer have to sleep and eat because Huo Wujiu is still alive, let alone be intimidated by him because Huo Wujiu is in Pang Shao's hands.
Everything will fall to the dust.
His face couldn't help showing the joy that a big event was about to happen, until he walked closer, and the soldier next to him lit a torch, wanting to see Huo Wujiu's death.
The torch illuminated the corpse.
There was only one dead horse on the ground.
On the horseback, there was actually a grass man.
In the next moment, the arrow pierced through the air and pierced Li Sheng's throat. The stability of the head and the strength of the sword penetrated the neck bone of his neck.
Suddenly, blood splattered, his eyes rounded, and he didn't even have time to take back the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, he saw Huo Wugui, who was standing on the edge of the woods and riding a horse with a cold expression.
The bow in his hand was still pulling apart.
