Chapter 373 The chin is dropped when the black flower is removed: Is this okay too?
"Okay, I'll go."
Seeing Zhao Cheng agree, Yuan Zhang smiled and said: "I am very pleased that you have the courage to prove your innocence."
Zhao Cheng said: "I am as pure as a virgin. I don't need to prove myself. I just want to fight for the opportunity to do business in Yunjing City."
Yuan Zhang asked: "Is making money so important?"
"Why not eat minced meat?" Zhao Cheng sighed.
"What?" Yuan Zhang asked.
Zhao Cheng rolled his eyes at Yuan Zhang and said, "You were born into an imperial family and have never lived a hard life. How do you know how important money is?"
Yuan Zhang became more and more confused and asked: "I don't understand this. Your Prime Minister became famous when he was young. Have you ever had a hard life?"
Zhao Cheng said angrily: "I was poor in my last life! Do you understand working a nine-to-five job? Do you understand the various ways to eat instant noodles?! Do you understand borrowing money and repaying a loan?!! Your girlfriend ran away with someone else, do you understand?!!
!”
"In the last life? The prince-in-law was good at joking." Yuan Zhang smiled disapprovingly, not knowing that what Zhao Cheng said was actually the truth.
"Okay, since you agreed... take off the bra!"
"exist!"
"You will take 500 people to escort me to Muqiaokou in the afternoon, and tomorrow you will select 100 elites to accompany the consort to the assassination camp."
Taking off the stickers, Wuhua asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, are you going to Muqiao Pass?"
"Yes." Yuan Zhang adjusted his light armor and said, "Recently, some fishermen reported to the border troops that they occasionally heard strange noises under the Dusk Bridge while fishing. I sent people to investigate, but nothing was found.
Things are coming. After thinking about it, not to mention whether the Southern Zhou army was secretly doing something under the bridge, I decided to go and see it myself and inspect it for a few days."
Tuotie Wuhua worriedly said: "If we go for a few days...will five hundred people be too few? I will choose two thousand elites to go with you!"
Yuan Zhang waved his hand and said: "The movement of two thousand people is too big, so this matter can only be done secretly. Although I went to inspect Muqiao, the water level to the west of Muqiao is gradually lowering, and a dirt road is about to appear. I have to observe that
The situation of the Southern Zhou Army on the other side may be an opportunity for an attack."
Zhao Cheng couldn't help but interject: "During the state banquet, Nanzhou and the prince took away two princesses from Dajing. They have formed an alliance with Dajing and promised to develop friendly relations with each other. Why are you still fighting?"
Yuan Zhang smiled and shook his head, saying, "I told you that you are just the prime minister, not your father."
Zhao Cheng clasped his fists at Yuan Zhang and said humbly: "May the champion give me some advice."
Yuan Zhang also started to preach, glanced at Zhao Cheng, and said: "Marriage is a state matter, for the sake of peaceful coexistence between the two countries. But there has never been any talk of peace on the border."
Zhao Cheng understood and said: "In other words, even though we have formed an alliance, on the border, you beat me and I beat you. You occasionally make me sick, and I occasionally launch a sneak attack to make you lose a lot of blood.
As long as we don't launch a major war, everything will still be peaceful on the surface?"
Yuan Zhang smiled and said: "You can teach me."
"This operation is really cool."
Yuan Zhang ignored Zhao Cheng's rant, looked at Tie Tie Wuhua and said: "Go and make arrangements."
…
There are two important military cities in Yunjing County, Yunjing City and Yunshui City.
Yunjing City in the west borders Hechong County of Southern Zhou Dynasty, and Yunshuicheng City in the east borders Jinjiang County of Southern Zhou Dynasty.
In recent years, the armies of the governor-general of the Southern Zhou Dynasty have all been stationed in Hechong County, while Jinjiang County has only a small number of regular troops. Therefore, Yuan Zhang's army in the south of the town is also stationed in Yunjing City, across the water from Yangjia of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
The water here is not the East-West River, but a lake.
It is Weihu Lake and the boundary between Yunjing County and Hechong County.
There are several bridges connecting the two counties, as well as several small dirt roads that are exposed during drought.
As for the official road between the two countries, there is no official road in Hechong County, but a road between Jinjiang County and Yunshuicheng.
Therefore, in order to avoid affecting the normal trade between the two countries, the soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty stayed in Hechong County all year round.
Tuotie Wuhua took a hundred elites and Zhao Cheng and his party to the edge of Weihu Lake. He pointed to the other side and said, "If you want to cross over the water without being discovered, this is the best place."
It was early in the morning, and there was only sunlight in the sky but no sun. Zhao Cheng put his hands in front of his eyes and looked at the other side. He could vaguely see some camps and asked: "There is also a Southern Zhou military camp on the other side. How can I get there from here?"
Will it not be discovered?"
Tuotie Wuhua explained: "You will definitely be discovered if you take the bridge or the dirt road. You only have a chance if you take the waterway."
Zhao Cheng asked: "Then how do you determine that this is the best location?"
Tuotie Wuhua said: "Because if you go from here, there are the fewest patrol points on the other side."
Zhao Cheng said: "How do you know this?"
Tuotie Wuhua said: "Of course we have our own methods."
Zhao Cheng understood and said: "I understand, we are the spies of Dajing."
Tuotie Wuhua acquiesced, blew a whistle, and arrow-shaped boats rowed out from the reed field.
Tuotie Wuhua said: "What we are doing is a risky thing. There is no absolute possibility of success. We will try our best."
Zhao Cheng was shocked and said, "You can't go by boat, right? It's too conspicuous!"
Tuotie Wuhua pointed at the small boat and said: "This is an arrow boat. It is fast and rows straight to the other side. The target is small."
"You really think the Southern Zhou people are blind!" Zhao Cheng shook his head.
Taking off the stickers, Wuhua said displeasedly: "What about the Southern spy evil star, the victorious general? I think you are just cowardly."
Zhao Cheng never cared about such aggressive generals and said calmly: "I never said I was brave. The main reason is that I don't agree with your method. We came with a mission, so we can't die in vain, right?"
"Then what good idea do you have?" Tuotie Wuhua asked, his face full of dissatisfaction.
Zhao Cheng did not answer, but looked at the people on his side.
He Laosan was left with Ma Cong to assist Wu Sisi. At this time, the masters who followed him to the lake included Zhao Yan, Zhao Wu, Heng Wenhao, Qian Lang and Yu Jin.
Zhao Cheng did not let Xu An's surviving guards follow him, and asked them to protect Xu An and the others in Yunjing City.
Anyway, with the hundreds of elites brought by Tuotie Wuhua, plus the four top masters and one first-class master on his side, if there is a real chance to capture Yang Qingzhi, then the manpower is enough.
"Is there any way?" Zhao Cheng asked.
Qian Lang took a step forward and nodded to Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng understood what Qian Lang meant and asked: "With the five of us, plus you... six people, can we make it?"
Gan Lang glanced at the other side and said, "This Weihu Lake is not very wide, and it is far less rough than the waves in Jinghai Lake. I think it's okay."
"Then thank you for your hard work!"
Zhao Cheng nodded solemnly to Qianlang, then looked at Tuotie Wuhua and said, "Go and prepare a strong long rope and six pieces of driftwood for me."
Tuotie Wuhua didn't understand the conversation between Zhao Cheng and Qian Lang, and didn't know what he wanted these things for, but he immediately ordered people to do it.
Soon, the things were brought.
Qian Lang tied the waists of Zhao Cheng and the others with long ropes, then tied the front end around his own waist and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Fight!!!" The five people picked up the driftwood and said in unison.
Qian Lang kicked away the driftwood brought for him and said, "I won't use it."
After saying this, Qian Lang took out his whip and jumped into the lake.
Zhao Cheng and the other five also walked into the water one after another.
The next moment, I saw the double whips of dry waves turning, water splashing, and he was submerged into the lake. Only his upper body was exposed, but he ran towards the other shore like a boat.
The five people from Zhao Cheng and Qian Lang were connected with long ropes, and were carried forward by his power.
The six of us were like an arrow boat half shallow in the lake.
The woman who took off the stickers stared wide-eyed and her jaw dropped: "Is this okay?!!"
