Early in the morning, cocks crowing and dogs barked, smoke curled up from people's kitchens outside the city, Chen Wangting and others were sleeping soundly against the wall. Chang Yu put on his raincoat and walked out of the main room. The woman under the thatched shed in the yard looked at him uneasily.
"Aunt, don't worry, we won't hurt you." Chang Yu smiled and said, "We'll leave as soon as the city gate opens." The woman nodded and smiled back, her face relaxed, and Chang Yu walked to the entrance of the courtyard.
Looking down, the city gate cannot be seen here, but it is clearly visible to the west. If Kuang Ren and his party arrived, he would be able to see it a few miles away, but at this time there were no pedestrians in the wilderness under the mist and rain.
Chang Yu looked at the door for a while. The heavy wind and rain made him wet again, then he turned back to the main room and baked his clothes. He leaned against the wall and thought about his thoughts. When he was feeling sleepy, the butcher hurried into the yard: "City
The gate is open, the city gate is open, good guy it’s so early today..."
Everyone in the room woke up in shock and quickly got up to clean up their belongings. Chang Yu was also very surprised: "Why is it so early today?"
"Hey, I was asked to open the door. I was just staring at the city gate under the eaves of Liu Laosan. I saw three or four people knocking on the door. I heard them yelling about the king of hell coming. I hurriedly opened the door... I couldn't hear much.
I understand, but he is probably one of our own people, how dare the common people shout so loudly..."
Before he finished speaking, Chang Yu stamped his foot, oh shit! The butcher was shocked and before he could react, he saw a few people picking up the guy and ran out, cursing.
Chang Yu was extremely angry. He never expected that he would be killed. It was obvious that the people who called for help had escaped from Dongliu County, but no one expected that they would be one step behind him. They must be
They were hunted by the guards and hid until late at night before escaping here, or maybe they were taking a land route, so they took a step slower!
One step was wrong and the other was wrong, and Chang Yu was also careless and left no one guarding the city gate... Of course, if these fish that slipped through the net found someone at the city gate, they would not be so blatant and come to call the door, and then go to other cities to call.
Door.
Anyway, it was careless!
Several people rushed out of the butcher's house and ran straight to the west city gate. The distance was less than a hundred meters and they arrived in the blink of an eye. They were tired and panting, but they found that the city gate had been closed. Chang Yu was furious and kicked the city gate with his leg. Suddenly he heard a loud noise from inside.
Drink: "Who?"
But Chang Yu and others were startled. They quickly looked for the enemy and the salt dealer, but found that they didn't follow. He gave Qiao Sanxiu a wink and asked him to look for him, and then pulled Song Luoshu. He was the nicest among the people here.
Imitation and speaking.
"Master Jun, open the door. We, we are going into the city to sell firewood and..." Song Luoshu said with a pinched voice. Before he could finish his words, there was an angry roar from inside: "Get the hell out of here, the city gate won't be opened today.
Hurry up and make me angry and kill you."
It's over! Chang Yu gritted his teeth with hatred. The gatekeepers said this, which further confirmed that the few people who just entered were the ones who slipped through the net in Dongliu County.
It was obvious that he could sneak into the city openly, but due to his own negligence, he was currently in a passive situation. It seemed that he was extremely unlucky today, and he might just have to look at the city and sigh.
"Governor, the bandits are on guard, and the whole city will be under martial law soon. Kuang Ren and the others haven't arrived yet, so we just can't do it with just a few of us." Wuzhong said as he glanced into the distance and saw
Qiao Sanxiu was running over carrying two prisoners.
Chang Yu took a few steps back and looked up to see that the city wall was not too high. If Jiang Fa and Night Demon borrowed a little help, they could climb the city, but now...: "Master Chen, can you go up in Wuzhong?"
"If there is a flying grappling hook, it will be no problem." Wu Zhong patted his chest, and Chang Yu couldn't help but kick him: "If there is that thing, I can go up there." While he was talking, Qiao Sanxiu had already brought the two prisoners.
: "Go and call the door quickly."
"Wait a minute!" Chang Yu suddenly stopped and said, "There are more than a hundred thieves inside. Kuang Ren and the others haven't arrived yet. Even if we go in, will we be able to eat?"
"When I was guarding the city of Beijing, I single-handedly blocked nearly a hundred Tatars. How could I have taken a step back? Now the five of us can't deal with an army of hundreds of thieves?" Wu Zhong gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice.
"Seven, and the two of us." The enemy slapped his chest, and Wu Zhong raised his foot and kicked him over: "You two are a fool!" Then he glared at Chang Yu: "Master Governor, do you want to do this job?
If you don’t want to do it, just stay and watch us do it.”
Chang Yu was so excited by him that he touched the green bird on his waist and said, "Damn it, you've been looking down on me for being so free during this period. I'm going to open your eyes today about what it means to conquer a city with one sword!"
As he said this, he motioned to the enemy and the salt dealer to call the door.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door for me quickly..." The two rushed to the city gate and started punching and kicking them. As expected, there were shouts and curses coming from inside: "You bitch, I told you that if I don't open the door today, I'll kill you..."
…”
"Fuck, I came from Dongliu County to report the news. Dongliu County was taken over by a group of people. I came all night in the rain to report the news and didn't open the door quickly..."
When the people inside heard this, they stopped shouting and scolding: "Hey, a few messengers came just now, saying that the officers and soldiers took Dongliu County and they escaped. Why didn't you come together..."
"What are you talking about? That group of people came straight in and they weren't wearing military uniforms. Who knew they were officers and soldiers who came from the nearby wild hills to seize the opportunity to seize the territory? I was just running for my life, so I couldn't tell them apart. Besides, they were everywhere when I was running for my life.
You're running around here and there, why don't you think of joining us together? Why don't you open the door quickly? I'm cold and hungry..." The gangster and the salt dealer performed to their heart's content.
But the people inside were very vigilant: "That's not okay, who knows if you are impersonated by those people..." Before he finished speaking, the salt seller started to curse: "I don't change my name when I stand, and I don't change my surname to Fan Yan when I sit down."
No. Salt Seller, ask if any of the brothers here know you. If not, ask if you know the clairvoyant Xiang Kui. He is our leader, a one-eyed dragon. Who knows who serves under the King of Hell? And your leader is not named
Jiang Yitao and the King of Hell are brothers. If I were an outsider, I would never know this."
The people inside were silent for a while and then said: "You only need to capture a prisoner and ask questions. There is no guarantee that you are one of ours!"
"Damn you Mad, you all believed what the first few people put in when they went in, but when we got there you didn't believe anything my brothers said. Is that intentional? See if you recognize me. If you don't, go in just now."
Those people called over to see if they recognized me!" The enemy jumped up angrily and cursed.
The people inside thought it was reasonable. They leaned under the door and took a look and said they didn't recognize him. They asked the two to wait for someone to identify him. The two had to wait cursing and glanced at Chang Yu who was hiding by the door.
Chang Yu had returned to his usual caution at this time, thinking that when the thieves came to identify him, they might wait and see from the top of the city. If he saw other people hiding below, he would never let them in, but he and others could stay away.
I was far away but not sure I could rush in in time.
This is a bit tricky. Just when I was thinking about a way, I saw a lot of people walking sparsely in the distance, but they were people who were going into the city. I planned to blend in with the people who were pretending to enter the city, but at this moment I heard a sound at the top of the city.
He yelled: "The city gate will not be opened today. Everyone should stay away from the city gate or they will be shot." Then he shot an arrow and stuck it fifty steps away from the city gate.
Chang Yu, Chen Wangting and others were frightened and ran away against the city wall, but they also stamped their feet angrily. They did not expect that a small band of thieves in P Big City would be so vigilant.
But suddenly I remembered what the enemy said: The King of Hell planned to run this place as his own lair... and even asked his confidant to appoint his brother to take charge. It is reasonable to be so cautious.
This Zhide County is by no means just a small town in the mountains. It is also the private territory of Bai Wang's general Wang Yi'en, and his private property may still be hidden!
Today, I am afraid that even entering the city is unlikely to go smoothly. It seems that I have to make many preparations, so I invited Chen Wangting and others to discuss in a low voice, and then Song Luoshu ran towards a house.
The people outside the city who were preparing to enter the city heard that they would not open the door today and dispersed after a few words. After all, it was raining, not to mention that the bandits on top of the city were still posing with their bows drawn.
"Hurry up, how long do you have to wait the hell?" The gangsters and salt dealers at the city gate shouted and urged from time to time. The people inside responded casually: "Wait a minute, they just went to the county government office to find Chief Chiang. It's a long journey back and forth.
It takes time..."
"Why haven't Kuang Ren and the others arrived yet? Maybe they got lost. It's unlikely that there's only one road by the river..." Wuzhong huddled at the foot of the city wall and frowned in a low voice. Chang Yu looked towards the distance due west: "Maybe it's raining.
The road is slippery and difficult to navigate... If they come at this moment, I'm afraid it will be even harder for us to get in."
"Why?" As soon as Wu Zhong asked, he realized that the city was on guard and there were rebel troops watching on top of the city. If a group of people were found, they would not open the door even if they confirmed the identity of the culprit.
Don't come at this moment again. Wu Zhong prayed secretly. At this time, Song Luoshu was holding a bundle of ropes and running towards the city from a distance: "Gong Du, there are thieves above the west gate. We have to go around and climb up the wall elsewhere."
.
"A rope alone isn't enough. Do you have a hook?" Wu Zhong asked. Song Luoshu shook his head: "If you can't find the hook, use this..." But it was a grappling hook used by farmers to grab the ground. Song Luoshu said and quickly tied the end of the rope to
On the grappling hook: "That should work".
"Luoshu, you go to the south gate and find a remote dungeon. Let's fight in from the front." Chang Yu planned to divide his troops into two groups and start assigning tasks. Song Luoshu was an assassin who had risen to a high level. No one could compare with him at the moment.
But at this time, he was in a dilemma: "Duke, this city is about two and a half feet high, and the rope is thick and heavy after being exposed to the rain. I'm afraid I won't be able to throw it that high." As he said this, he turned to look at Wuzhong.
Everyone knows that Wuzhong is born with supernatural powers. He threw this thing as if it were for fun. Chang Yu immediately made a decision: "You two go to the city, and the three of us will go in head-on."
Not long after Song Luoshu and Wu Zhong left, they heard someone shouting from above: "Is it really you who is the one who took advantage of me?"
When the victim heard someone calling him, he quickly took a few steps back and looked up at the city head: "It's me, and the salt dealer... who are you, I don't know."
"I'm Huang Ergouzi," the man from the city head laughed and said, "How did you escape, the bastard?"
"Damn it, it turned out to be Huang Ergouzi. You are so damn lucky that you ran out before me. Who else escaped with you?" The salt dealer laughed and cursed: "Hurry up and open the door to let my brother out.
When you two go in, it will be so cold that you die."
"Don't worry, tell me how your two brothers escaped." Huang Ergouzi sneered on the top of the city. The victim couldn't help but yelled: "Are you fucking finished? Of course I escaped just like you. How could it be possible?"
If I don’t succeed, I will surrender.”
"That's hard to say..." Huang Ergou sneered: "When that group of people came in, you two happened to be guarding the door, and you were not killed when you were the first to bear the brunt? We could see the city gate when we escaped.
Those brothers are all dead, how come you two are the only ones who survive?"
The enemy was shocked, but he opened his mouth: "My brothers were peeing outside the city gate at that time. When they saw them suddenly killing people, they jumped into the water and ran away... What the hell do you mean, you deserve to be alive, I should be alive."
They deserve to be killed!"
Huang Ergouzi was speechless and coughed a few times: "Okay, even if your brothers escape with their lives, but Boss Jiang has said that from now on, the city gate will be closed to prevent anyone from coming in. Your brothers will stay outside first."
Find a family to stay in first. Here, this is the silver reward given by Boss Jiang." He dropped a piece of broken silver and said, "Boss Jiang, it's interesting, this is their territory, let's..." As he said this, he suddenly raised his hand and moved far away.
Refers to: "You two idiots have indeed rebelled..."
Chang Yu, who was at the bottom of the city, knew something was wrong when he heard this. He raised his head and looked towards the west, and said "Oh, damn, I'm really worried about this. Dozens of riders are running towards me in the rain in the distance..."
"Let's go!" Chang Yu knew that the door wouldn't open if he called, so he could only climb over the wall and enter. He roared and ran towards the east facing the city wall. Chen Wangting and Qiao Sanxiu followed closely behind. At this time, various voices came from the top of the city.
