"No, Ma Feizi is a ghost. Ordinary people may not be able to capture him."
"Besides, this guy may definitely be hiding something from us. We must track him down and ask him for details!"
Wu Jian felt that he had underestimated Ma Feizi's role and must capture him for interrogation.
"Find Tang Heizi, I have orders!"
Wu Jian realized the seriousness of the problem and underestimated Ma Feizi.
Han Ziping immediately went to find someone, and Wu Jian sent someone to find two key people from the West Factory.
Soon, Tang Heizi and two spies from the West Factory arrived. Wu Jian ordered: "Ma Feizi has escaped from prison. Find him immediately and bring him back!"
Tang Heizi didn't know about Ma Feizi, but the two spies from the West Factory knew.
"As you walk on the road, you tell me to find him immediately, and be quick!"
Tang Heizi asked: "Where should we pursue?"
Wu Jian was in trouble, and where did Ma Feizi go after escaping from prison? If this question is wrong, it may lead to the opposite direction.
"This guy really wants to see the Major General. I guess he's going west, so you can pursue him westward!"
Wu Jian was so anxious that Tang Heizi didn't ask any questions. He immediately ordered fifty elite soldiers, took two spies, and immediately chased to the west.
After leaving Yanmen Pass, Tang Heizi dispersed the people and searched westward like a net.
...
Northern border of Xixia.
Guitai and Li Chengdao sneaked into Xixia quietly, and they moved quickly under the cover of night.
Donna focused her attention on the defense of the northern border. The internal defense was very lax and all the troops were drained away.
Therefore, after crossing the border, we did not encounter any obstacles.
"Holy Son, do you want to take a rest?"
Li Chengdao felt that the war horse was no longer good. If he continued to move forward, the war horse might be disabled.
"It's not far away. We can arrive before dawn."
The ghost had no intention of resting, so Li Chengdao had no choice but to continue moving forward.
The war horse became slower and slower, and finally it stopped. No matter how hard it was whipped, the war horse would not move away.
"Holy Son, the war horse is dying."
Li Chengdao looked helplessly at Guitu, who said: "Then go on foot!"
After saying that, Guitai dismounted and walked forward on foot.
Li Chengdao had no choice but to follow Gui Fei forward.
Near dawn, the two of them arrived at a city.
This is Yangcheng, and the moat outside the city is still there.
Back then, Long Chen and Shi Le had a fierce confrontation here, and Shi Le's troops were trapped, and finally they were defeated and fled.
The current governor of Yangcheng is an old minister of Xixia named Wu Gui.
When Xixia fell, Wu Gui surrendered to Zhou Dynasty. Later, he became effective and was promoted to the governor of Yangcheng.
The empress intended to promote a group of old Xixia officials to appease Xixia.
"arrive."
Guitai looked at Yangcheng with a trace of pride on his face.
The two of them walked quickly to the bottom of the city. There were only a few patrolling veterans on the city. The firewood in the brazier had burned into charcoal, and white smoke was rising.
The two jumped up and crossed the city wall lightly. The people in the city had just woken up. Those who emptied the toilets and sold breakfast had already gotten up. The toilet carts were walking through the streets and the breakfast shops had been set up.
The two stepped on the roof at a speed that ordinary people could not see.
The two flew to the middle of the north of the city and landed at the Prefect's Mansion.
There were only a few government officials inside, but no soldiers.
All the strong warriors in Yangcheng were mobilized to defend near Yuncheng, leaving only the old and weak.
The ghost fetus fell in the backyard. A big locust tree grew just right. There was a stone table under the tree. The ghost fetus sat down. Li Chengdao immediately went to find the prefect.
Li Chengdao had been an emperor and was very familiar with the layout of the government. The yamen in Xixia and Nanliang were similar, and he quickly found the place where the prefect Wu Gui was.
There were two maids guarding the door, waiting for the prefect Wu Gui to get up.
Li Chengdao walked over slowly, and the two maids looked at the stranger in surprise at the same time.
"Who are you..."
As soon as the maid opened her mouth, Li Chengdao had already sealed his throat, and the two maids fell to the ground.
Pushing open the door, a beautiful concubine was serving a capable man to dress inside.
This man is in his fifties, with a slender build and a sparse beard with only a few dozen hairs. This man is Wu Gui, the prefect of Yangcheng.
"Who is he? He dares to break into the prefect's room!"
When the concubine saw Li Chengdao barging in, she scolded him angrily.
Li Chengdao waved his hand and the door closed in the air. When Wu Gui, the prefect, saw this hand, his expression immediately changed.
"Who are you?"
The prefect Wu Gui asked in shock, stepping back to block the concubine in front.
"master..."
The concubine was also frightened, and she wanted Wu Gui to protect her.
"Someone's coming!"
Just as the concubine shouted, Li Chengdao stepped in front of him and bit through the concubine's neck.
The concubine's skin was tender and the blood was sweet in the mouth. Li Chengdao sucked it greedily.
It's been a long time since he drank such good blood.
The prefect Wu Gui looked at Li Chengdao in horror, stepped back and bumped into the dressing table behind him.
"you..."
Li Chengdao quickly sucked the concubine dry, let go of his hand, and the concubine fell to the ground, her body collapsed into a ball.
"The Holy Son is looking for you in the backyard."
Li Chengdao said coldly, and then the prefect Wu Gui realized that in front of him were Gui Fei's subordinates.
"Holy Son? You...the Holy Son is in the backyard?"
The prefect Wu Gui was in shock, and Li Chengdao said: "Come with me."
Li Chengdao walked out, and the prefect Wu Gui followed him. When he saw two maids lying at the door, Wu Gui frowned.
When they got to the backyard, the ghost fetus was sitting under a tree. When Wu Gui saw it, he hurriedly ran over, bowed his head to the ghost fetus and bowed: "Slave Wu Gui, pay homage to the Holy Son. I missed the Holy Son day and night, and finally saw the Holy Son."
Wu Gui burst into tears and looked very sincere.
Guitai glanced at Wu Gui, pointed to the seat opposite, and said: "Dignified Yangcheng Prefect, please sit down and talk."
Wu Gui did not dare, so he kowtowed to Gui Fei and said, "How dare you sit down and talk in front of the Holy Son and ask for His instructions?"
The news that Long Chen defeated the ghost tribe at Yanmen Pass has spread to Yangcheng. The prefect Wu Gui has been wondering whether the ghost fetus is dead or alive.
The ghost clan was defeated by Long Chen, which means that the ghost clan is not good, and the ghost fetus is not good either.
Following Long Chen is more reliable than seeking refuge with Gui Fei.
Therefore, Wu Gui hoped that the ghost child would be killed, at least he would not dare to come to the Central Plains again.
Unexpectedly, the ghost fetus actually came and arrived at the Yangcheng Prefecture.
"I am here today. I really have something for you to do."
The prefect Wu Gui refused to sit down, and Gui Fei did not insist.
In Gui Fei's eyes, Wu Gui was indeed not qualified to be on an equal footing with him. Gui Fei was just being polite and couldn't take it seriously.
"Please give orders from the Holy Son, I will not give up even if I die!"
The prefect Wu Gui kowtowed again.
Guitai said: "I want you to summon all the elites in Yangcheng and come with me!"
Prefect Wu Gui felt numb all over and summoned all the elites in Yangcheng. This move was too big and would definitely be discovered.
"Holy Son, all the strong men in Yangcheng have been drafted to fight in the north, and the rest are old and weak."
The prefect Wu Gui told the truth. Gui Tai was very unhappy and said coldly: "There are only a few hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the north. Do you think I don't know?"
"Yangcheng has a population of 500,000, and there are at least 100,000 strong people. How dare you fool me!"
Long Chen's strategy is to streamline the army and streamline administration, select some outstanding people to serve as soldiers, and farm the rest.
