"Let's do it." Changliu-jun said.
Wu Du pulled away the rope a few times, Duan Ling moved his hands, and then Changliu-jun cut the rope one by one and released the prisoners.
"Come on!" Duan Ling said to them, "Go outside!"
More and more people are unbound, whispering. Duan Ling waved to them, and asked everyone to follow behind Changliu-Jun. Changliu-Jun led them all the way to the stables along the road they had opened earlier.
"go!"
Duan Ling got on his horse, pulled Wu Du onto the horse, and rushed out of the camp with more than a hundred prisoners. At this time, the Yuan people hadn't noticed. The captured Liao people escaped overnight. Knowing that this was the only chance to escape, they rushed their horses and rushed to Luoyan City.
Finally, the Yuan people were alerted. The prison camp was at the westernmost side of the camp, and the alarm bell sounded. Someone chased them out and shot arrows at them in the dark. At the same time, Lord Changliu also led the crowd and rushed outside the city wall, shouting, "There will be a period later!"
Along the city wall, Lord Changliu made a quick turn and disappeared without a trace, leaving Wu Du and Duan Ling among the hundred or so people, riding their horses to the city gate.
"Open the door!" someone started shouting.
"Open the door!" the prisoners began to shout together.
This is Changpin's first plan, disguised as captives, to save a group of people into the city. If it works, it will pass smoothly, and the captives can also testify for Duan Ling and Wu Du.
If you can't hide it, you have to sneak into the city, avoid the search, and wait for the opportunity to find someone.
In the midst of one after another begging and opening the door, the Yuan army stopped nearly a mile away from the city wall.
"Ready to shoot!" shouted from the heights of the city wall.
The prisoners below panicked immediately. They all crowded in front of the city wall and looked up in fear. Fortunately, the arrows were only pointing at the Yuan army, and they did not shoot down.
"Open the door! Open the door! I'm Lord Judge! Hurry up and open the door!!" The middle-aged man stepped forward and patted the door. Finally, in the darkness, the city gate made a sound, and the side door opened with a crack. The prisoners pushed each other and rushed into the city in a hurry, and many people were squeezed into the moat.
The Yuan people did not expect that the prisoners would escape into the city this night.
Wu Du guarded Duan Ling, blocked the prisoners on the left and right with his elbows, and squeezed into the city. After a while, almost everyone entered the city, and Duan Ling dragged the young man who was in a coma with fever by one hand. As soon as he entered the city gate, there was a sound behind him, and two soldiers rushed over and held him down.
In the dark night, there was a panic, and Duan Ling was tied up with ropes again. He was put on his arms and pushed aside. The soldiers ordered him to kneel. The words shouted: "Father! I'm here!"
Wu Du came to protect Duan Ling and protected him, and the two heard someone say in Chinese, "All the Han people are coming this way!"
In the chaos, the soldiers began to count.
"The Liao people bring it here!"
"We are from Xiliang!" Duan Ling shouted, mixed with the sound of Wu Du.
"This way!"
In an instant, the Liao people and Xiliang people, the Semu people and the people from the small clan outside the Great Wall, and the Han people were divided into three, six, nine, and so on. After hundreds of people separated, the sound of horse hooves on the long street, and a group of soldiers came.
"What's the matter?" a general asked, dismounting from his horse.
"Report to the general." The officer guarding the city led the crowd out and replied, "One hundred and twelve prisoners escaped from outside the city. In order to avoid spies among them, we must first investigate."
The torches reflected the frightened faces of the captives, and the general's expression changed slightly. Duan Ling thought that this person should be the inspector of Luoyan City. When the two armies are at war, it is very dangerous to let people in. After all, it is very likely that spies have been mixed in. As long as he said a word, everyone here would be beheaded.
Wu Du squeezed his sweat and prepared that if the general said "kill them all", he would have to kill them first, and then take Duan Ling to escape and hide in the city.
Everyone raised their voices with a single heart. At the end, the general said, "Take it down and question it carefully, so as not to have spies."
All the prisoners breathed a sigh of relief now. Although the Liao people have ruled the north for a long time, they are far from the brutality of the Shangzi War. Since the Liaozu, they have adopted the political method of ruling the Han with the Han, and have adopted the Chinese language and Sinology. Promoted among high-level people, there are many people in Liao who use the words "benevolence", "righteousness", "propriety", "wisdom" and "trust", which shows that they are different from the Yuan people who are cruel and bloodthirsty and have undeveloped people's wisdom.
The general turned around and was about to leave, but Duan Ling said in Liao dialect: "General, there is a wounded soldier here, maybe also an adult."
The general walked to Duan Ling, Wu Du understood, and came out with the man with a high fever. The man dressed luxuriously, like a warrior, not a commoner, Duan Ling felt inside when he first saw him. Sure enough, the general was shocked when he saw it: "Shuluduan? Hurry up and take him to get medical treatment!"
"And this... Huh? Where's the person?" Duan Ling turned his head to look for the man named Shun Chong, but found that he was hiding at the end.
"Judgment?" the general asked.
"General Wen... Forgive your life!" Shun Chong was so terrified that he hurriedly said, "General! Forgive your life!"
"Take him too," said the general.
Duan Ling didn't expect that Shen Chong was so scared, and he thought about it, yes, this guy is a Liao official and ran away before the fight started. Now that he has fled back to the city, he is naturally afraid of being caught by the military generals and punishing him for dereliction of duty. sin. But the official rank of this general seems to be much higher than that of Shen Chong? According to the official system of the Liao Kingdom, although Wu is respected, Shen Chong should not be so afraid.
The soldiers took the man and Shen Chong away together. The defenders in the city separated the prisoners according to their families and took them to several rooms for questioning. Among the more than 100 people, only Duan Ling and Wu Du, two "party leaders", mixed with the Liao people and were interrogated.
When asked about Wu independence, Duan Ling answered fluently in Liao language, telling the two of them that they were father and son who came to do business, and their father was deaf and mute. He was arrested by the Yuan army on the way. Saved them and released everyone.
He has a good impression of the city guards. After all, he takes the lives of innocent people into consideration and opens the door as soon as he opens the door. People who don't hesitate at all are always kind-hearted.
"Who did you learn this mandarin from?" the city guard said, "How come you can taste the taste of Beijing?"
Duan Ling replied, "I went to school in Shangjing back then."
"It's not easy." The city guard waved his pen and said, "Go and find a way to make a living. Now there are too many people in the city to take care of you."
"It doesn't matter." Duan Ling replied.
"Take this piece of paper." The city guard said again, "If you go outside the Minsi, you can go to get ten-day rations, but you can't do anything else. Don't be kidnapped or cheated. If you commit a crime after entering the city, you will be charged one more crime. Wait."
Duan Ling was very clever, got up with a smile, bowed to the city guard, and said, "The two gods of heaven and earth bless you, Lord Liao."
Duan Ling was originally good-looking, and when he smiled, he felt more intimacy. He had taken advantage of this leather bag in his life, but those who could not be made troubles were often not made troubles. The cross-examination is also very simple. After obtaining a temporary household registration paper and stamping it, it is considered a temporary residence in Luoyan City.
When they left the city wall, the sun rose, and the Yuan people had been besieging the city for more than ten days. Everything was business as usual in the city, and the two shops were still open for business.
Wu Du also hid some broken silver in his pocket and handed it to Duan Ling, who turned it into copper coins, bought some beef, and sat with Wu Du by the river in the city. .
"What now?" Duan Ling whispered.
No one in the vicinity noticed them, so Wu Du opened his mouth and said, "Wait for Lord Changliu to join us first, don't be in a hurry. Luoyan City actually let us into the city just like that."
"The folk customs here are simple." Duan Ling said, "When the Shangjing city broke down and 100,000 refugees went to the Central Plains, Luoyan City also accepted all the people."
He still remembered the cold winter that left a deep impression on him. If there were no broken temples in the city, Duanling would have now become a dead bone on the wasteland. This city saved his life, and if there was a chance, it would have to repay. I just hope it can hold up to the siege of the Yuan people.
As long as winter comes, a few snows fall, and after the city wall freezes, the Yuan people can't get in, so they have to go back to Saibei.
The sun is shining brightly, the mountains are bleak, the weather has turned cold, and the leaves are flying in the rustling autumn wind.
First meet with the Yecheng army who came out to cut wood, and then let them send him back to Yecheng, and go down to Jiangzhou before winter.
With a rustling sound, Ben Xiao immediately turned his head, feeling the danger lurking in the dense forest, and wanted to break free from the rope.
Changpin was riding on his horse and felt it too.
"Let's go!" Changpin was probably a tiger leopard or a jackal in the mountains, preying around in late autumn, and immediately turned his horse's head and headed up the mountain road.
Suddenly, there was a scream, making Changpin feel frightened.
That's the scream of a man!
The body of a man in black fell from a high cliff not far away, making a muffled sound.
Immediately after, there was another one, with its head hitting the ground and its brains bursting.
The third body rolled and fell into the cliff along the mountain road.
Changpin didn't speak, didn't shout out to ask who he was, just stood quietly on Mashan Road, waiting for the other party to show up.
There was a small sound from the woods behind Changpin, as if someone was about to escape, but another sound continued from directly in front of him to behind him, accompanied by a muffled groan.
Then, a fourth body fell out of the bushes.
"Zheng Yan?" Changpin said.
A man finally appeared from the woods, but it was Lang Junxia in a blue and black samurai uniform.
"It turned out to be Lord Wuluohou." Changpin laughed.
"Mr. Long Hired." Lang Junxia said, "Long time no see."
Changpin pulled the reins, turned slightly, faced Lang Junxia, and said, "Why did your lord suddenly come here."
Lang Junxia replied, "Why did you come, and why did I come, what about Wang Shan and Wu Du?"
Changpin's color changed slightly, and countless thoughts ran through his mind. First, he judged that there seemed to be a shadow guard following him, and he was killed by this assassin. The shadow team belonged to the prince, and this fellow also belonged to the prince. When the team members start, they may have their own positions, and they are friends rather than enemies.
Changpin thought about it for a moment, and then replied: "The two of them went to Zhongjing, let me bring a message to His Majesty."
"What message?" Lang Junxia still said lightly.
Changpin replied: "The situation in the north is changing rapidly, and we must go back to Jiangzhou as soon as possible. Thank you for your life-saving grace."
Instead, Changpin took the initiative to dismount and bow to Lang Junxia.
With the sword in his hand, Lang Junxia had just killed four members of the shadow team, but his body was not stained with much blood. He pondered for a moment, then retracted his sword and sheathed it, but did not speak.
Changpin had bowed, but just stood quietly, waiting for Lang Junxia to speak.
After a long time, Lang Junxia said to Changpin: "I guess the shepherd should send you to Runan to find something."
As soon as these words came out, Changpin was immediately puzzled, and then said: "Runan? Why did your lord say such a thing? Well, it's okay to tell you, Changpin is going to Zhongjing to find my uncle Fei Hongde."
Lang Junxia nodded, "um", and then said: "There is no need to deliberately go over the old affairs of Runan. Changpin, the real prince, has always been by your side, he is Wang Shan."
Changpin's expression changed immediately, and before he recovered from the shock, Lang Junxia had used his thumb to pop out the hilt of the sword, and then slashed away with a sword.
Changpin couldn't help shaking, covered the wound on the side of his neck, and fell to the ground after some convulsions.
"I'll tell you this secret before you die." Lang Junxia said lightly, "Lest you die without resting your eyes, go well, Mr. Changpin."
After speaking, Lang Junxia kicked Changpin's body off the cliff. Changpin opened his eyes and rolled down the valley all the way, falling from a height of 10,000 meters, hitting the exposed rocks and making a muffled sound.
With echoes, Lang Junxia first threw the bodies of the Shadow Team assassins into the abyss one after another, and then untied the ropes that tied the horses together.
Ben Xiao looked at Lang Junxia vigilantly, but Lang Junxia's eyes softened slightly. He raised his hand and placed it in front of Ben Xiao. Ben Xiao stood and just didn't move. After a while, Lang Junxia whistled, took a step forward, and got on his horse.
Ben Xiao hesitated for a moment, but after all, Lang Junxia was not thrown off.
"Drive!" Lang Junxia rode the sky and galloped in the direction of Luoyan City again.
