The messenger immediately said: "If you want to live, the younger one is older than the older one and the younger one is younger. I beg King Wu to spare my life!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, accompany me on a trip to Beiling City. When the job is done, I will give you a heavy reward."
Don't say reward or not, life is in Long Chen's hands, and the messenger doesn't dare to say no.
"The little ones are willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
The messenger was able to save his life for the time being, so he happily climbed onto his horse and followed Long Chen to the north.
When we arrived at the south gate of Beiling City, it was already dark.
The waiting knights outside the city rushed out, intercepted the messenger and Long Chen, and shouted, "What are you doing!"
The messenger immediately said: "I am the messenger from Linhu City, and I am here to deliver the secret message from the Ministry of War on the orders of the Holy Son."
With that said, the messenger took out the token.
Hou Qi looked at the token and still didn't believe it. He walked up to Long Chen and the others and asked: "Are you also delivering letters?"
Long Chen said with a smile: "Brother, we are here to protect him. Long Chen is watching with eager eyes. It is not safe for him to deliver the message alone."
The messenger immediately said: "We are all brothers from Linhu City. General Yan was afraid that I would be intercepted and killed on the way alone, so we went together."
The waiting knight checked Long Chen and several others, but found nothing unusual except regular crossbows and waist knives.
The clothes and armor Long Chen wore were all from Nanliang, so there would be no problem.
"follow me!"
To be on the safe side, Hou Qi did not let the messengers enter the city on their own. Instead, he surrounded a group of them and entered the city together.
This approach was very safe, and Long Chen admired Tong Yuan for his skill in commanding the troops.
Hou Qi shouted, the gate opened, and dozens of horses slowly entered the city.
The braziers on the city were burning brightly, there were many torches on the streets, and the soldiers were resting in the city.
Linhu City is at war, and Beiling City is also at war.
"Whose subordinate is my brother?"
Hou Qi turned to look at Long Chen. With so many people there, he felt that Long Chen was unusual.
Long Chen said: "We are all cavalry in Vice Commander Wu's camp."
Hou Qi's tone was slightly better and he said with a smile: "It turns out they are the Forbidden Army. No wonder the war horses are so good. You eat the imperial grain in Jinling, while we eat grass outside all year round."
Long Chen said with a smile: "Brother, you are so humble. How can you do better by following General Tong?"
With that said, dozens of people arrived in front of the handsome manor.
There are densely guarded outposts and hidden sentries around the Commander's Mansion, and there are deer antler fences guarding the surrounding area.
Long Chen killed the commander several times, and Tong Yuan was very frightened, so he deployed heavy guards around the commander's mansion.
"Brother, come in with me."
Hou Qi said to the messenger.
The messenger turned to look at Long Chen. Hou Qi also looked at Long Chen and asked, "What? Do you still want his consent?"
Long Chen secretly thought that something was wrong. If the messenger went in alone, who knows what he would say.
But if the messenger is not allowed in, he will be suspected again, which will cause trouble.
I didn’t expect there to be so many rules here on the road, I didn’t think well of them.
Long Chen smiled and said: "I'm sorry, brother, in order to prevent being intercepted, the secret order is actually on me."
As he said that, Long Chen took out a small black cloth bag from his body and shook it.
The messenger immediately said: "Yes, it was difficult to say just now, brother, don't mind."
Hou Qi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "You guys are really mean-spirited, then come in with me!"
Long Chen chuckled and said: "There is nothing we can do. The commander said that Long Chen is difficult to deal with, so he told us to be careful."
Long Chen dismounted and said to the messenger: "You guys take a rest outside and go back immediately. Kick my horse and feed it some fodder. It has been running for a day."
The messenger immediately responded and withdrew with several others.
The messenger was very confused. He wanted to shout, Long Chen is here!
But after shouting this, he will definitely die.
But don't shout, such a good opportunity...
While the messenger was confused, Long Chen and Hou Qi had already entered the commander's residence.
After arriving inside and entering the front yard, the waiting knight loudly reported: "General, there is a secret order from Linhu City!"
The door opened, and a young general wearing armor walked out, walked up to Long Chen, stretched out his hand and asked, "Bring it here!"
Long Chen took out the small cloth bag and said: "The commander has an order and must hand it over to General Tong personally..."
The young general snatched away the small cloth bag and angrily shouted: "There is so much nonsense!"
Hou Qi signaled Long Chen to stop talking, and Long Chen could only watch the young general enter the room with a small cloth bag.
"Get out!"
The young general dropped a word.
Hou Qi pulled Long Chen out.
Obviously, Tong Yuan is not here, and this is another empty city plan.
Tong Yuan deliberately deployed heavy troops around the commander's mansion to create the illusion that he was in the mansion. In fact, he was not here at all, but somewhere else.
When Lu Ji was asked to inquire about the situation here, Lu Ji was still unable to determine where Tong Yuan was.
Long Chen looked in all directions, trying to find any clues...
"Brother, as long as the letter is delivered, why are you so stubborn?"
Hou Qi complained that Long Chen was ignorant.
Long Chen said: "Brother, aren't you very cautious in doing things? Send it to the commander's mansion from outside the city."
"You have your errands, and I have mine."
Hou Qi was speechless and could only say: "Don't worry, if it falls into the hands of General Luo, it will fall into the hands of General Tong..."
Long Chen immediately asked: "What do you mean? General Tong is not in the city? During the war, General Tong actually left his post without permission?"
Hou Qi turned around and frowned: "Brother, don't talk nonsense! How could General Tong leave his post without permission? He's just not here."
Long Chen pretended not to understand, looked back at the commander's house, and said: "The commander is not here? Where can he live?"
Hou Qi immediately said: "Don't ask, just wait, I will give you a receipt right away!" Bayi Chinese website
To send a secret order, the coach needs to stamp it as a receipt, otherwise it cannot be determined whether it has been delivered.
Long Chen muttered: "I've heard before that you, General Tong, are very evil-minded..."
Hou Qi tutted: "Brother, you talk too much."
Long Chen scratched his crotch and said: "Brother, please relieve yourself, where is the convenience?"
Hou Qi stopped, looked around, pointed to a corner in the distance and said: "There, hurry up."
Long Chen immediately ran to the corner.
When it gets dark at night, the rider waits where he is.
When they reached the corner, Long Chen jumped lightly and lay down on the roof.
There were hidden sentries around, but Long Chen carefully avoided them and saw General Luo, the young general just now, walking through the courtyard gate towards a private house.
There are hidden sentries around the house, but there are no heavy guards. An oil lamp is lit in the bedroom.
This place is very hidden and really hard to find.
This Tong Yuan is very cautious!
Long Chen bypassed the secret sentry and quietly slipped into the courtyard. The young general just pushed the door open and walked in.
In the room, a muscular black man with a neck as thick as his head, wearing armor, sat under the lamp and read a map.
This person is Tong Yuan.
The young general entered the door and presented the small cloth bag to Tong Yuan.
"General, Linhu City has sent a secret order."
Tong Yuan accepted it, opened the cloth bag, and then opened the secret message.
Yu Ziming asked Tong Yuan to be careful about being attacked by a sneak attack, and at the same time asked him to guard the surroundings and not let the Long family army go to sneak attack Qingren County.
After reading it, Tong Yuan asked: "Where is the messenger?"
