Yang Guo and his group of ten people came out lightly dressed. Each person had nothing but a small bag on his back. Among the ten people's team, there were five powerful shadow guards accompanying them, and Gongsun Lu'e was also among them.
Led by Yang Guo, everyone walked through the valley as if they were walking on flat ground. In less than half a day, they had passed through the boundary of Jueqing Valley and ran straight towards Xiangyang City.
As the only woman in the team, Gongsun Lu'e was also the weakest in terms of strength. As early as an hour ago, she was unable to keep up with the high-intensity speed, but she was stubborn and gritted her teeth and forced herself to follow.
She followed with one deep foot and one shallow foot. Without looking, she knew that the skin of her soles had already been worn out, and the soles of her feet felt slightly moist. This must be the blood oozing from the broken skin of her soles.
Yang Guo saw it, but he was stubborn and refused to ask. He kept running at his own speed and rushed towards Xiangyang City. Gongsun Lu'e always had two shadow guards hanging next to him. In addition to protecting Yang Guo, their mission was also to watch.
Gongsun Lvcai, to prevent her from having any trouble.
Gongsun Lv'e also remembered Qiu Qianchi's instructions and took the opportunity to run away to find his uncle.
However, she discovered along the way that even if she said she wanted to relieve herself, the two shadow guards did not care whether she was a girl or not, and they had to keep her in their sight.
This makes Gongsun Lu'e, who is still a young girl, dare to really do it. Even if she really has a physical need now, she still endures it because she really doesn't dare to relieve herself in the eyes of the shadow guard.
She tried to ask Yang Guo for help several times, but Yang Guo's attitude was suddenly very cold, turning a blind eye to her request for help. It was obvious that he didn't want to help.
In this regard, she could only sigh deeply. She could only rely on herself for everything.
In the team, Gongsun Lu'e has always shown himself to be very weak, trying to get them to draw too much attention away from him, but who is the Shadow Guard?
They were a group of killing machines that came out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In their eyes, there was no distinction between men and women. In their eyes, Gongsun Lue was nothing more than a pile of beautiful flesh.
This also made Gongsun Lv'e quite distressed, thinking: I can only take one step at a time.
When it got dark, the group of people finally arrived outside Xiangyang City after a long journey.
The leader, Yang Guo, stood on a high slope and looked far into the distance, but he saw that the Xiangyang city wall was covered with heavy soldiers and the city gates were closed. It was obvious that we were in a special period and Xiangyang city no longer accepted outsiders.
This discovery made him a little frustrated, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to come forward for discussion.
"The gates of Xiangyang City are now closed. I think it's the sequelae caused by Brother Dongzhang's riot in the Mongolian camp some time ago. Now that the main entrance can't be accessed, we can only climb over the wall at night. What do you think?" Yang Guo was very polite.
He expressed his own thoughts and would not act arbitrarily because of his status as a young master.
This also made the guards have a better impression of him. After listening to Yang Guo's statement, a shadow guard suddenly walked out of the crowd and jumped up to the big tree on the slope.
Yang Guo didn't know why and looked at him curiously. He saw the shadow guard looking into the distance, then jumped down from the tree, and ran down the mountain in silence. In the blink of an eye, the shadow guard had disappeared in Xiangyang.
Under the city.
"What did he do?" Yang Guo was stunned and turned to look at a shadow guard who was about two or three years older than him.
"We're going to check out the terrain. Since the young master said we want to climb over the wall, we need to know which wall has the weakest defense so that we can sneak in." This man had a serious face and usually didn't talk much, but since
Should Yang Guo ask questions, or should he tell the matter briefly.
Otherwise, it means disrespecting the leadership.
Hearing this, Yang Guo's face blushed slightly, but it was because he had taken it for granted, and was a little too arrogant. Ever since he learned the Nine Yin Manual from Ouyang Feng, Yang Guo had no rivals on the White Camel Mountain, except for...
Apart from Ouyang Feng, no one was his opponent.
After all, it is normal for a young mind to be inflated. He thought it was not difficult to climb the seven or eight-foot-high wall, and he did not think too much about whether others were as strong as him.
Think about everything only with yourself as the center.
Gongsun Lu'e squatted quietly outside the crowd and did not participate in the discussion. He did not dare to move his eyes around. He only dared to look at the group of people with his peripheral vision. His face seemed calm but he was actually anxious inside.
Not long after, the shadow guard who went out to investigate quietly appeared in everyone's sight, holding a bundle of ropes in his hand. No one knew where he got it.
He quickly came to Yang Guo and said concisely: "The west wall has the least guards and is the most relaxed. There are five guards, each one is seven feet away from each other. There is an arrow tower next to it. I'm not sure if there is anyone inside."
In a short period of time, the shadow guard had visited the surrounding areas of Xiangyang City and gave a suggestion. As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people stared closely at Yang Guo, waiting for him to make the decision.
After thinking about it, Yang Guo knew that the shadow guard had given two euphemistic plans. One was to kill the five guards on the west city wall, and the other was to kill the arrow tower next to them.
In his heart, Yang Guo actually didn't want to hurt anyone. After all, they were all righteous defenders of the city. After thinking about it, he muttered: "Let's climb the archery tower."
Several guards looked at each other, not knowing what to think, but they still nodded in agreement: "Okay."
After looking at the sky, Yang Guo ordered: "Let's eat first and take a rest. We'll take action tonight."
"yes."
The few people who came out with Yang Guo were all people with strong hands-on skills. They automatically divided into teams without his arrangement. Some went to pack the food, while others prepared the utensils to be used in the evening. All the divisions of labor were clear.
That night, everyone had eaten and drank enough. Yang Guo sat cross-legged on the hillside, adjusting his breath and meditating. Gongsun Lv'e leaned against a crooked tree and took a nap. In order to avoid going to the toilet as much as possible, she drank very little water all day long and had no dinner.
I only took two bites of Du Ba Du Ba and stopped using chopsticks.
At this moment, it seems like I'm pretending to be asleep, but I'm actually thinking about how to get out.
As the sky became darker and darker, the chirping of insects and birds around him gradually disappeared. Yang Guo suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and said, "Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards around him immediately stood up, picked up various climbing tools with dexterous movements, and put on the uniforms of the city defenders that the shadow guards had found at some time.
Then, under the cover of darkness, the group followed Yang Guo and quietly sneaked into the corner of the west city.
Except for Gongsun Lu'e, this group of people moved silently, like ghosts passing by. To prevent Gongsun Lu'e from getting in the way, the two shadow guards carried her forward without any explanation.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, which was the time when consciousness was at its weakest. The guards on the city wall were more or less dozing off, and their concentration was not as strong as during the day.
A shadow guard looked at the watchtower above his head. He first threw the rope up and swung it through the window of the watchtower. After trying it back and forth several times, he found that there was no movement inside and no one came out to investigate, so he no longer hesitated.
.
Tie a hook and pad it with cloth to avoid making too much noise when hooked.
Throwing up with his right hand, the long hook accurately hooked on the window of the watchtower. Because it was cushioned with cloth, the hook made very little movement. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. A shadow guard took the lead and followed the rope.
Climb up.
Everyone in Yang Guo stared at him closely, not daring to breathe.
The shadow guard's body was pressed against the wall. There was no movement during the climbing process, and he climbed into the archery tower as smoothly as a gecko.
Seeing him popping up his head to signal, Yang Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
Then several people went upstairs one by one, and ten people crowded into the small watchtower. They looked outside and Yang Guo, a master of arts, walked out boldly.
The group of people were all the daring ones. Except for Gongsun Lu'e who was a little nervous, the group of people walked along the stairs to the city. When they met people, they would pass them by without saying much. The guards were also wearing the same style.
There was no doubt that he was there due to their clothing, but upon closer inspection, I also felt that the behavior of this group of people was quite strange.
But when he asked, the group of people had already disappeared into the night, hiding in the streets and alleys.
Guo Mansion.
Guo Jing did not return from his official business and was still discussing strategies to defend the city with the officers and soldiers in the camp.
Huang Rong lay on the bed with a big belly and couldn't sleep at night. She didn't know what was wrong, but she kept feeling like her right eyelid was twitching today.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when I heard a slight movement suddenly coming from the beams of the room, I listened attentively. Huang Rong was shocked to realize that this was not an illusion. She was shocked in her heart and shouted: "Who is it! He is so sneaky and hiding his head and tail! Why don't you come out openly?"
See!"
Yang Guo on the roof heard this and said secretly: Aunt Guo is so alert...
Little did they know that Huang Rong didn't fall asleep at all. The pregnant woman had great mood swings, and her husband had not returned yet, so how could she sleep?
Yang Guo laughed loudly and imitated Huo Du's accent and said, "Xiao Ke came here to write a letter. Isn't it the etiquette of the Southern Dynasties to receive guests secretly? If there is anything shameful, how about Xiao Ke come back later?"
He learned a lot from him, but Huang Rong had lived with him for a long time, so she felt familiar when she heard it. Her face sank and she said, "It's just Guo'er..."
