Gao Fei and others were waiting impatiently around the treasury door. Looking at the night, it was already midnight, but Bian Xi's key had not been delivered yet, which undoubtedly made everyone a little worried.
"Lord, isn't Bian Xi a master thief? Why can't he even steal the key?" Pang De was young and energetic. He got impatient with waiting and asked Gao Fei beside him.
Just as Gao Fei was about to answer, he saw a dark shadow flashing over from the county government office, and then softly shouted "Cuckoo". Gao Fei's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly roared: "The key is here, let's start taking action!
"
After giving the order, a large number of men in black appeared from around the treasury. They were all similar in size, build, and dress. It was difficult for people to tell who was who. However, upon closer inspection, you could still tell that there were several
There was a man with a red cloth wrapped around his left arm. He was Pang De, Hua Xiong, Li Wenhou, and Liao Hua, the small leaders of each team.
"What's going on? Why did it take so long?" Gao Fei asked as soon as he came to Bian Xi.
Bian Xi hurriedly said: "My lord, there was a little accident. Fu Xie didn't sleep all night. Then he found me again. I had no choice but to hurt him. Now he fainted and got the key."
"
When Gao Fei heard that Fu Xie was injured, he didn't react much. He immediately took the key from Bian Xi and quickly opened the treasury. Then Zhao Yun led Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Pei Yuanshao, Xia Houlan and other brothers No. 800 to push
The carriage rushed over quickly. In order not to attract the attention of the people at the east gate, Gao Fei had all the carriage horses left at the west gate, and asked Fei An to wait there with two hundred people. As long as a carriage came, they would be there quickly.
He hitched the horse to the shaft of the carriage and had people drive him back to Wuyue Mountain.
Zhao Yun came to Gao Fei and immediately reported: "My lord, everything is in order at Ximen, and all the soldiers are tied together."
When Gao Fei saw that everyone was here, he shouted loudly: "Okay, start taking action, hurry up! Bian Xi, stand guard!"
It was too late, but soon, everyone got into the carriage and entered the treasury. They began to load all kinds of necessary weapons and equipment, and then transported them one after another to the outside of the west gate. Outside the west gate, they put the carriage's shaft on the parked there.
The horses come and go one by one.
Just after midnight, there were still a dozen carriages left in the treasury that had not been loaded, and there were still 20,000 or 30,000 arrows that had not had time to be loaded. Suddenly, someone at the east gate was heard shouting "The water is leaking", and there was a loud sound of gongs and drums.
Suddenly, the whole east gate direction was boiling.
After Gao Fei heard the sound in the treasury, he immediately realized the urgency of the situation and said to his subordinates: "If we speed up a little bit more, someone must have discovered our convoy."
This is Gao Fei's arrangement. After all, it takes time to transport so many things. It is impossible that no sound can be heard from the east gate for such a long time. Chencang City is small to begin with, and if there is a slight disturbance, it can alarm the entire city.
Fortunately, there were not many Han troops living in Chencang City. Most of the houses in the city were demolished in order to accommodate more soldiers when they were resisting the rebels. Therefore, the camps of the Han troops were all on the mountain road outside the east gate.
Gao Fei arranged for Lu Heng to lurk there. If something happened, he would set fire to the few houses near the east gate to disrupt the sight of the east gate guards.
The fire spread quickly. The dry weather in winter, coupled with the kerosene prepared by Lu Heng early in the morning, caused the fire to seal the entire east gate and cut off the road between the east and west, creating a great opportunity for Gao Fei and the others.
.
The guards at the east gate were concentrating on putting out the fire, while the west gate was hurriedly loading things. Suddenly, Ma Jiu rushed over from the county government, rushed into the treasury and shouted: "Master Hou...
Lord Marquis...we can't stop Gai Xun anymore!"
As soon as Gao Fei heard this, he hurriedly pulled off his black clothes, revealing a suit of armor covered by black clothes, and ordered Pang De to say: "Get away quickly, I will stop Gai Xun and buy some time. Ma Jiu,
Follow me! Zilong, hurry up and meet Lu Heng!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei hurriedly ran to the county government office, but saw twenty government officials guarding the gate of the county government office. Gai Xun, fully clothed and holding a long sword, was trying to break through the blockade of the twenty government officials and shouted:
"Get out of the way, get out of my way, I don't need your protection!"
When Gai Xun saw Gao Fei coming from outside, he shouted loudly: "Master Hou! Mr. Fu was injured by an assassin, and there was a fire in the east of the city. These government officials said they were ordered by the Marquis to protect me, but why didn't they let me
go out?"
Gao Fei said hurriedly: "I did this for the safety of Mr. Gai. As soon as I learned that Mr. Fu had been assassinated, I quickly ordered Zhao Yun to hunt down the assassin. But who would have thought that there was a sudden fire in the east of the city. It must have been premeditated by the assassin.
When I passed the treasury, I saw the guard fainted on the ground, and then I realized the seriousness of the situation. I was worried that something might happen to Mr. Gai again, so I asked Ma Jiu and the others to escort Mr. Gai at the county government office."
Gai Xun said: "I don't need anyone to protect me. Has the assassin been caught?"
Gao Fei said: "We were searching in the west of the city. When I heard Ma Jiu calling me, I came over immediately."
Gai Xun said: "Master Hou, what are you waiting for? Let's go catch the assassin now!"
"Okay, you all come with me!" Gao Fei was hoping that the last few cars had evacuated, so he took Gai Xun and ran towards the west side of the city gate.
From the county government office to the west of the city, we had to pass the treasury along the way. Just when we were about to reach the treasury, we suddenly heard a clear and sharp cry: "The wind is tight!"
Immediately afterwards, a loud cry was heard from the county government office: "What the hell!"
When Gai Xun heard this voice, he immediately shouted: "No, the assassin is in the county government office, Master Fu is in danger!"
Gao Fei immediately shouted: "Go back to the county office!"
When they returned to the county government office again, everyone saw a man in black turning over the wall of the county government office, and then jumped onto a private house, stepping on the rubble on the roof as if walking on the ground, and jumped again at a rapid speed.
When he arrived at another private house, his skills were crisp and smooth, rising and falling like a ghost. He quickly disappeared into the night and disappeared without a trace.
"What a handsome skill!" Gai Xun admired secretly after seeing it.
Gao Fei could also see clearly that this skill was definitely not something that Bian Xi could do, and judging from his body shape, it must be Zhao Yun. He showed a satisfied smile in his heart, but his face was still sad, and he stared at the county government office.
Look, I saw Fu Xie walking out with his right arm covered.
Gai Xun and Gao Fei hurried over and asked for help, but fortunately, Fu Xie was fine.
At this time, Zhao Yun and Lu Heng ran over, clasped their fists towards Gao Fei and said, "Master Hou, the fire in the east of the city is under control!"
Gao Fei naturally knew what this meant, which meant that the Nighthawk Project was successfully completed and everyone evacuated Chencang. He immediately replied: "Very good, how about the treasury?"
Lu Hengdao: "The soldiers have also been rescued, but... there are a lot less supplies in the treasury, and the number of people guarding the treasury is still being counted."
As soon as Fu Xie heard that something was lost in the treasury, he was about to stand up when he felt unbearable pain in his right arm, and said: "Something is lost in the treasury, and I cannot blame myself..."
"Who are this group of assassins? They not only assassinated Master Fu, but also robbed the treasury. They are so audacious!" Gai Xun asked sharply.
Zhao Yundao: "Master Qi, the assassins are all very agile and can fly over walls and walls. I once chased them, but they disappeared before they could go far. But the accent sounded like they were from the Liangzhou area, and
Some assassins even talk nonsense."
Gai Xun said: "The thieves are indeed very skilled. Mr. Marquis and I also saw one just now. With that kind of skill, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to catch him. Unexpectedly, the rebels did not attack Chencang, but instead stole supplies from our Chencang."
, it seems that we need to strengthen prevention in the future. The plan for now is to calculate the shortcomings of the treasury and then make plans. Mr. Hou, do you think this is good? "
Gao Fei nodded and said: "Master Gai is absolutely right. Since the assassin has retreated, I think it's better to help Master Fu in quickly and then call the military doctor to treat the injury!"
Gai Xun said "Yes" and helped Fu Xie into the county government office. Gao Fei told Ma Jiu to call the military doctor, taking Zhao Yun with him, and Lu Heng followed in. A group of government officials guarded the door.
After daybreak, the specific items missing from the treasury were reported to Fu Xie, who was wrapped in bandages. Fu Xie sighed heavily, looked at the lost items, and said slowly: "Reremission of duty, remission of duty..."
Although the lost items were nothing to the Han army, such a mistake was really embarrassing. Fu Xie immediately wrote a note of self-blame and sent it to Huangfu, the general of chariots and cavalry who also served as the governor of Liangzhou.
Song there.
At this juncture, Gao Fei couldn't get out. Regarding what happened last night, the whole Chencang was still talking about it, but no one would have thought that Gao Fei was a thief shouting to catch thieves. No one would have thought that Gao Fei, a majestic man, was a rebellious general.
Will steal things from the Han army. Gao Fei sent Lu Heng to Wuyue Mountain to organize everything. He is the chief clerk, and all these things should be handed over to him for management.
After noon, Zhonglang generals Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong came to Chencang with a few personal followers, leaving 30,000 elite troops in the mountain road. The small Chencang city could not accommodate so many people.
Outside the east city gate of Chencang, Gao Fei, Zhao Yun and Gai Xun were waiting there. From a distance, they saw eight knights galloping from the mountain road. The eight knights led by the horses were an old man and a young man. The old man was about forty.
He is about 25 years old, and the young man is only twenty-five or six.
"Master Marquis, the old one is Dong Zhuo, and the young one is Bao Hong." Gai Xun was afraid that Gao Fei might not know him and would not be able to say polite words for a while, so he reminded him in advance.
Gao Fei nodded and stared closely at Dong Zhuo from far away. He saw that Dong Zhuo was wearing a helmet and armor and had an extremely majestic figure. Judging from the face shape, it was an almost square pedestal-shaped face with thick bones.
He is strong, with a wide and open chin, a curly beard, full muscles on his face, thick eyebrows, thick ears and a big mouth. He is very masculine and shows a majestic momentum.
"Is this person Dong Zhuo?"
Gao Fei murmured secretly in his heart, but found that Dong Zhuo's eyes shot out two rays of light, and he was also looking at him. Their eyes met for a fleeting moment. For some reason, Gao Fei couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling.
A sense of fear. His calm heart was rippled by Dong Zhuo's arrival. The deep eyes under the helmet gave him a great sense of oppression, as if he could see through his inner thoughts at a glance.
"Gai Changshi, is this Gao Fei, the newly appointed rebel general of the imperial court?"
While his eyes were wandering, Gao Fei felt an extremely deep voice coming into his ears. When he looked up, he didn't realize that Dong Zhuo had already dismounted and was standing directly in front of him. He was actually more than half taller than him.
He is at least about 1.88 meters tall.
Gai Xun saw Gao Fei's eyes twinkling but didn't say anything, so he immediately came out to smooth things over and immediately said, "Master Dong not only has good eyesight, but is also very well-informed. This man is the rebel general, General Gao Fei, the Marquis of Duxiang."
Dong Zhuo sneered, with a kind of contempt in his eyes, and said coldly: "Is the famous General Gao nothing more than this? Gai Changshi, I'm hungry, get me some food!"
Gai Xun hurriedly made an invitation gesture and said with a smile: "Master Dong, the banquet has been prepared. Please come into the city!"
Dong Zhuodang rushed through Gao Xun and Gao Fei first. When he knocked down Gao Fei's shoulder, he also glanced sideways at Gao Fei. The light shining out of his eyes was strange this time, making it impossible to guess the look in his eyes.
What does it represent.
Gao Fei came to his senses after being hit by Dong Zhuo, but when he turned around, he saw that Dong Zhuo had entered the city, and beside him stood the younger Bao Hong and his entourage.
Bao Hong was much smaller than Dong Zhuo, which was in sharp contrast to Dong Zhuo. He was slightly short, not even a seven-foot man in the Han Dynasty, but the aura emanating from his body was also aggressive, as if
He is warning the other party not to make excuses about his height, otherwise he will fight to the death.
However, Bao Hong was much more humble than Dong Zhuo, and he also seemed much kinder. He did not have Dong Zhuo's arrogant and domineering arrogance. He cupped his fists towards Gao Fei and said: "I'm here, Bao Hong, I've met General Gao!
"
Gao Fei returned the courtesy and said, "I'm in Longxi, Gao Fei, and I've met General Bao."
In a sense, Zhonglang will be far superior to Gao Fei, a no-name rebel general. Zhonglang will be responsible for commanding the elite guard army stationed in Gyeonggi Province. It is a fixed official position, while general is not set up from time to time.
They were only appointed during conquests, and their salaries were much lower than those of officials in the capital such as Zhonglang Jiangbi Liangqianshi.
Gai Xun introduced to Gao Fei: "General Gao, General Bao is also young and promising. He was the one who put down the Yellow Turban bandits in Gepo."
Gao Fei hurriedly said: "Oh, General Bao's name is as loud as thunder. I'm disrespectful."
Bao Hong also expressed politeness, and then entered the city with his entourage.
Gao Fei likes to read history books, and I have seen Bao Hong's name before. This man is indeed a powerful man. He obtained his official position with his military exploits. Later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan, and Bao Hong returned
Assuming the post of Lieutenant of the Military Academy, being selected alongside figures like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao shows his strength.
"General Gao, don't take what happened just now to your heart. Dong Zhuo has a domineering and domineering character. He doesn't like anyone. But then again, if he likes you, then General Gao will be like a
There is no difference between mediocre people. Haha, let's go into the city, Mr. Fu is still waiting for us in the county government office." Seeing that Gao Fei was a little unhappy, Gai Xun explained.
Gao Fei nodded, turned around and walked into the city side by side with Gai Xun, but he was speculating about Dong Zhuo in his mind: "I don't know why, but I always feel an inexplicable sense of fear in my heart every time I look at him. It seems that
Dong Zhuo is really an extraordinary person. He is the first person who can make me feel this way. It should be difficult to deal with such a person, so I have to be careful."
