The reason why he was so respectful to this eunuch was that he had an unusual identity. He was the second-ranking person in the imperial palace, his name was Mi Yunzhong, and he controlled the emperor's personal eyes and ears, which were independent of the imperial court.
Wait!
For many civil and military officials, this is a bloody and terrifying existence.
There are "outer marquises" and "inner marquises", collectively called "inner marquises". The "inner marquises" are ranked in front of the "outer marquises" and are controlled by the number one eunuch in the Yin State Palace. They are called the chief eunuchs of the inner marquises. They are often called the "inner marquises".
Accompany the emperor.
Mi Yunzhong is the governor-general of the outer lord, who is usually called "the governor" and is controlled to a certain extent by the general manager of the inner lord.
How could such a person be so disrespectful as a military commander when he visited such a place in person?
After putting his hand back on the tea cup, Mi Yunzhong asked again: "How is the current situation in your position?"
The commander reported: "A dozen suspicious people who intend to sneak into the 'Chaoyang Conference' have been arrested so far."
Mi Yunzhong: "Who are they?"
Commander: "After a rough understanding, there are many types of people. Their identities have not been completely determined. The results of the torture have yet to be verified. However, I believe that it is better to catch the mistake than to let it go. Anyone who wants to sneak into the 'Chaoyang Conference' through abnormal channels
Everyone is suspicious, no matter what their identity and background, they will be arrested first!"
This approach was a bit unreasonable, but Mi Yunzhong nodded happily and affirmed, "Very good!"
Just because they had paid 30,000 taels of silver in advance, the three brothers Yu Qing could not be calm. Instead of meeting at the south entrance of the town in the evening as Cao Wei said, they stayed outside the military camp and stared at the entrance of the military camp, waiting for Cao Wei.
After Cao Wei came out of the barracks, the three of them retreated again, not letting Cao Wei notice them. They just followed Cao Wei quietly. They were afraid that people would run away, and also wanted to know what Cao Wei would do. They found that this guy was just wandering around.
, bragging and spanking everywhere, and even went to the brothel to have fun...
The three of them followed to the door of the kiln. Even if they didn't know much about this business, they could tell that the kiln was new. The town was too small and there was no kiln originally. It only appeared temporarily after the market became lively here.
Faced with Yingying Yanyan's solicitation, unlike Yu Qing who was a little embarrassed, and unlike Mu Aotie who was aloof and aloof, Nanzhu's eyes were a little bright. He bumped Yu Qing's arm and motioned for him to take out the banknote, "
I'll go in and keep an eye on it for you."
Yu Qing scorned, "Go and watch yours. What do you want money for?" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Mu Aotie also sneered at Nanzhu, turned around and left.
Nanzhu followed suit, but he muttered, "Don't blame me when the thirty thousand taels are gone."
The three of them didn't walk too far, and sat down at a stall diagonally opposite the kiln, continuing to drink tea.
A pot of tea, some water, some snacks, and it was almost evening, when Cao Wei came out of the kiln.
The three of them immediately dropped their money and left, then followed.
At the south entrance of the town, Cao Wei looked around after arriving and found no one he met. Just when he was wondering, three brothers, Yu Qing, suddenly appeared to say hello.
Cao Wei was not polite to them and asked: "Are the banknotes ready?"
Yu Qing said: "Don't worry, your money will not be short when things are done."
Cao Wei waved his hand, "Let's go."
The three brothers realized that this man was quite trustworthy, so they didn't say much and followed him towards the vast mountains in the distance.
All three of them knew that as long as they entered the mountain in front, they would enter the territory of Kunling Mountain. The imperial troops had set up checkpoints on the main road into the mountain. Only by passing the checkpoint and entering the mountain on the right road could they stay safe. They tried to sneak into the forest secretly and sneak in.
, it’s not impossible, it’s just that there are so many secret sentries set up in the mountain, and Kunling Mountain’s own mountain guarding methods, you have to be able to sneak in.
The problem is that it is useless to sneak in. It is difficult to move without a suitable identity. It is impossible to run around inside Kunling Mountain without any credentials that are personal.
If not for this, the three brothers and sisters would not be so hesitant.
The distance between the town and the mountains is indeed not short.
Far away from the town, especially after deviating from the official road, the number of people coming and going gradually became less and less, and the sky gradually became darker.
Just when there were no traces of people in front and behind the road, and there were only the sounds of a few people's footsteps, there was suddenly a "whooshing" sound from the wind.
Several people were slightly startled and reacted urgently, and the three brothers quickly drew their swords in self-defense.
Only then did they hear the thunderous sound of a bowstring, and at the same time, they heard a muffled "Hmm" sound coming from beside them.
The three of them looked back and saw that Cao Wei, who had drawn his sword, was striking the ground with his sword. His figure was on the verge of falling, and his legs were stretched there, unable to move an inch.
An arrow penetrated Cao Wei's thigh, and penetrated both thighs, just connecting his two thighs together, making it difficult for him to move.
"who?"
Cao Wei roared angrily, glaring around him angrily. His appearance of wine and rice bags was gone. Instead, with a surge of courage, he directly grabbed the arrows on the side of his thighs with one hand and forcefully pulled the arrows out bloody from both thighs.
Whoosh! Another arrow came, hitting Cao Wei's wrist where he was holding his sword.
In fact, two arrows were shot at the same time, and one of them was knocked away by Yu Qing, who turned sideways and swung his sword urgently.
As soon as the hand that was supporting his body was injured, Cao Wei's injured legs suddenly went weak. He knelt down and almost fell over. He urgently changed his hands and grabbed the handle of the knife to hold himself back from falling. His bearded face became tense.
His strength is clearly revealed.
The eyes of Yu Qing and the other two men were urgently focused on the place where the bowstrings made thunderous sounds. Three arrows later, they had locked the archer's hiding place.
The three brothers were highly vigilant. They could clearly tell that this was not an ordinary archer. He could just immobilize a living person's legs with one arrow. This was not something ordinary archers could do. The ability to control the intensity of the shot was very important.
And the shooting accuracy under such light.
The shooter obviously did not want to shoot Cao Wei directly and showed mercy, otherwise Cao Wei might have been killed on the spot.
The same thought flashed through the minds of the three of them, Great Archer!
This thought made the three of them feel numb. They knew that archers who could step into the ranks of great archers were real killers. They had no experience against such people. Once the opponent wanted to attack them, they were afraid that they might not be able to do so.
Can get away.
The three of them held swords in their hands and were on high alert for the target's hiding place.
Under the dim yellow light, among the reeds swaying in the wind, a figure suddenly jumped out, stepping on the grass in the wind, drifting like a wisp of green smoke, and landed in front of the three brothers and sisters who were blocking the way.
A masked man in black clothes was carrying an arrow pot. He was slightly smaller in stature, but could not hide his dashing and heroic appearance. He was clearly a woman, and the three brothers were stunned.
However, their eyes quickly focused on the bow held by the opponent. The twisted bow body was charred and black, with many circles of silver spots scattered around it, like many eyes. It was clearly a horned dragon bow.
The three of them looked at each other with stern eyes, Xuan-level great archer!
Cao Wei, who was kneeling behind them, changed his hand-held knife, pointed the blade at the masked man, and shouted: "Who is coming?"
The masked man ignored him, but spoke to Yu Qing and the others, "Do you want to stop me?"
It's a woman's voice, with a refreshing timbre.
The three people who were on guard with their swords suddenly looked at each other, and the other party's words made them a little confused as to how to answer.
Stop him? They definitely don't want to stop him. No one likes to provoke a killer who can assassinate someone from a distance.
If they don't stop them, they still expect Cao Wei to help them sneak into Kunling Mountain. Besides, the deposit has already been given to them.
Yu Qing couldn't help but glance around. He didn't know whether the female archer came alone or if she had other accomplices. It was said that the great archers were basically the eagle dogs of the imperial military.
After hearing what the masked man said and confirming that he and the people around him were not in the same group, Cao Wei immediately said: "If the three of you can help me defend against the enemy, Cao will be very grateful. Your affairs will be taken care of by Cao!"
The masked woman heard the words and said sarcastically: "Could it be that you three also believed his lies and thought he could help you sneak into the 'Chaoyang Conference'?"
The three brothers glanced at each other, and Nanzhu couldn't help but ask, "Why did the heroine say this?"
Heroine? This title made Yu Qing and Mu Aotie speechless, and they couldn't help but glance at him.
"If you are not with him, get out of the way!" the masked woman said disdainfully, and then stared at the person kneeling behind them, "Cao Wei, where did you take my two senior brothers?"
Cao Wei was startled by what she said, "Your senior brother? What bullshit senior brother, I don't even know who you are, who are you, and who is your senior brother?"
The masked woman raised her bow and said, "Why are you pretending to be confused? Five days ago, you tricked two people with bows into the mountains and never came out again. Don't say you haven't seen them before."
Cao Wei was really confused. Had he tricked anyone into entering the mountain five days ago? Or was he someone with an arched back? There was no way he would not be impressed by such an obvious feature.
He suddenly felt something was wrong, and immediately yelled: "Are you fucking sick? Did you recognize the wrong person? Open your eyes and see clearly. Are you sure the person you are looking for is me?"
I already felt that I might have been wronged. Thinking about my arrow wound, I felt aggrieved.
The three brothers had already turned sideways and kept looking back from side to side, looking at this and that from time to time. They felt that Cao Wei didn't look like he was acting. If he was really acting, his acting skills would be too good.
The masked woman responded loudly: "Cao Wei, a local surname, surrendered to the army twenty years ago and is now a partial general of the Nanling Right Army. He returned to his hometown with the army three months ago to station, but later concealed his identity and cooperated with the Nanling Right Army.
Investigate the outskirts of Kunling Mountain. You used your identity as a local to cover up and pretended to be the nephew of the leader of the Zhengyang Sect. You spread rumors and falsely claimed that you could help people infiltrate the Chaoyang Conference. In fact, it was a conspiracy that cooperated with the garrison.
During the purge operation, you specialized in tempting people to take the bait, and the garrison opened their pockets and waited for you to take people over. Am I wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three brothers almost turned green. They all turned their heads and stared at Cao Wei with gritted teeth.
Cao Wei's expression changed drastically, and he finally pointed the knife at the masked man and said angrily: "Who are you?"
This is tantamount to admitting, and it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. He has thoroughly checked his background and made it clear that he can't hide it.
And this is what he couldn't figure out, how could the other party know these situations?
The masked woman asked again: "Where have my two senior brothers been taken by you?"
