After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 31 Let’s try our luck
The third prince of the Hu people is still in Suzhou City, but most people think that he has been escorted to Ganzhou.

Not long after the war ended, one morning at dawn and as soon as the city gates opened, nearly a hundred sergeants rode on horseback to escort a row of prison cars out of the city. One of the prison cars seemed to hold a young man dressed in the gorgeous riding attire of a foreigner. The man has messy beard and hair, and his appearance cannot be clearly seen.According to the shopkeepers who opened shops near the city gate, that man must be the third prince of the Hu people who was captured, and the Suzhou Guards were escorting him to Ganzhou.

However, Hai Changan knew in his heart that the "third barbarian prince" who went out of the city that day was pretended to be Wang Chengfu and Wang Baihu, the neighbor and his friend.That night, he saw with his own eyes that Wang Chengfu was wearing a gorgeous horseman's costume, his beard and hair were messy, and he was covered in blood. He was walking home with several colleagues with a tired face.When he asked Wang Cheng what happened, he just laughed and didn't tell the truth at all.

The next day, when Hai Xiya took his grandson Hai Jiao to the guard station to continue working, he heard that the team escorting the "Three Hu Ren Princes" prison van yesterday encountered a group of Hu Qi who sneaked in more than 20 miles east of the city. The two sides fought for a while. After the battle, Hu Qi lost his troops and generals, and the leader panicked and fled with his remaining soldiers.Obviously, the Wang Chengfu whom Hai Changan met had just returned from the battle with Hu Bing, but Suzhou Guards did not announce it.

On this day, several more spies were exposed in Suzhou City, and the intelligence network planted by the Hu people in Suzhou City had been basically eliminated.

It is not difficult for the knowledgeable Hai family to deduce that the Suzhou Guard sent people to escort the fake third prince out of the city that day. It was actually a trap. The purpose was to fish out the remaining Hu spies in the city and also to attack a wave of Hu people who came to rescue them. .Although there were only less than a hundred people in the team that left the city gate in the early morning, there were actually more people who left the city in advance to ambush.Just a few dozen Huqi are no match at all.

Since the third barbarian prince who left the city is a fake, then the real prince is naturally still in the city.Ordinary people didn't know and thought that the enemy prince had been sent away long ago.If they knew that this person was still in the city, they would not be able to live so calmly.Because the barbarians will definitely try their best to attack the city again and save people.No matter how strong Suzhou City is, how many times can it withstand enemy attacks?
Haitang suddenly mentioned this matter in front of Haijiao, also wanting to find out the situation as soon as possible.It would be great if we could try to eliminate this hidden danger.When the Chu Dynasty captured a big shot from the enemy country, it should take him to a safe place as soon as possible so that he could be used as a hostage to negotiate with the barbarians.What do you want to do by procrastinating and leaving people in a small border town with only one guard station? !

Hai Jiao follows his grandfather to the health center every day, and he still knows the inside information of Suzhou Guard.He usually abides by military rules and will not tell anyone the news he heard in the guardhouse, but he has no intention of keeping it secret from his biological sister and simply tells Haitang everything he knows.

The Hu people's cavalry were elusive and unpredictable.Without complete assurance, Suzhou Guards would not dare to send the third prince of the Hu people to another place easily, for fear that he would be kidnapped by the Hu people on the way, causing Dachu to miss an important bargaining chip in the negotiation.Since the war on Wednesday, General Zhou had exchanged many secret letters with Ganzhou Guards, Shaanxi Xingdu Command and Envoy, and even Shaanxi Dusi and the Zhenguo Government before confirming the plan that the Dusi would send heavy troops to pick him up.

The person will be temporarily escorted to the Shaanxi Xingdu Commandery Office in Ganzhou.As the guilty minister, General Sun Yonglu and his party will provide cover for this escort.The Suzhou Wei Foreign Affairs Conference claimed that the third Hu prince had already been sent away, and that the next ones to be escorted were Sun Yonglu and his confidants. However, in fact, the team would include the third Hu prince and his confidants who were captured at the same time, as well as several others. The captured spy.

Sun Yonglu himself was very reluctant to participate in this operation, but this was a good opportunity arranged for him by Dusi to "make up for his mistakes."The confidants around him who were brought from the capital, whether they liked it or not, came forward to vouch for him, and in the process, they also relieved themselves of their guilt.After Sun Yonglu learned the result, he was so angry that he cursed, but he could not change anything.In order to save his own life, he had to negotiate with General Wednesday and the others, asking for a large sum of money to hire escorts to accompany them.Although he has made a lot of money in Suzhou over the years, his own net worth is still quite rich, and the Sun family in the capital has always been very generous to him.

General Wednesday was probably not sure whether he could kill Sun Yonglu this time, so he left some room for action, agreed to Sun Yonglu's request, and asked several of his servants to come forward to recruit people.

Unfortunately, things didn't go well for the Sun family's servants.The rich immigrants from Guazhou who had just entered Suzhou City to change their household registrations may have been frightened by the war a few days ago. After finding out that the surrounding situation was relatively peaceful recently, they hurriedly prepared to leave.They hired a lot of guards and almost wiped out all the young men in Suzhou City who were not military members and had good skills. The guards who once served the Hai family also found new jobs.Because there is no shortage of well-paid jobs, few people are willing to be employed by the Sun family. After all, Sun Yonglu's reputation is ruined. Who is willing to fight against the barbarians for him?
Sun Yonglu's huge sum of money has so far only attracted two unidentified warriors. They seem to have extraordinary skills, but the number is really too small.It is said that Sun Yonglu was so anxious that he could not sleep at night, so he had to beg General Zhou and General Gu in a low voice, without losing any of his past arrogance.Now the Suzhou Guards are waiting for the heavy troops sent by the Shaanxi Xingdu Commandery Division to escort the third prince of the Hu people to arrive to see if the leading general is willing to protect Sun Yonglu.

Hai Jiao told Haitang: "The escort carriages have been prepared in the guardhouse. The carriages I saw with my own eyes were not prison carriages. They were all specially made. They were made of the strongest wood and were sealed tightly. Outsiders could not see clearly the people in the carriages. Who was it? Whether it was Sun Yonglu or the third prince of the Hu people, they were all separated and sitting in the car. It was said that Sun Yonglu's status was extraordinary, so the border army specially saved face for Sun Ge Lao and Sun Guifei, and did not let Sun Yonglu sit in the prison car. …”

I'm afraid Sun Yonglu himself would rather sit in a prison car and show his face, right?It is better than being "rescued" by barbarians as the third prince.

However, even with all the preparations, no one could guarantee that the Hu cavalry would not make a sneak attack.The heavy troops sent by Dusi came for this purpose.Suzhou Wei will send some manpower, but the main force will still stay to defend the city.

Wang Chengfu, the hair boy from Hai Chang'an, once disguised himself as the Third Prince of Hu Ren to go fishing, and he is expected to participate in the escort this time.According to Hai Changan, he had already specially said goodbye to his family, and even came over to ask for help in taking care of his family. He must have known that this trip would be extremely dangerous and unpredictable.

Haijiao couldn't help but sigh when he talked about these things.But Haitang's expression was a little strange: "The Hu people spies in the city have been uprooted, but the third Hu people prince is obviously still in the city. Anyone who pays attention to the movements in Suzhou City will not miss Sun Yonglu and his party—— With so many soldiers escorting him, how can it be explained by Sun Yonglu's unusual identity? If Uncle Wang, a Hu man, wants to save people, he will definitely send another spy to get information, right? "

So can the reborn brother Hai Jiao find an opportunity to make meritorious deeds?

Hai Jiao was a little confused; "Meritorious service? Me? How can I find this? At this time in my last life, I was still a slave in the horse farm of the businessman named Sun. I have no idea what happened in Suzhou City?"

Haitang blinked: "The owner of the racecourse is the spy leader of the third prince of the Hu people. When you worked for him, didn't you encounter any suspicious people? For example, spies and spies? Brother, if you often When you walk around the city, will you recognize any familiar faces? It’s better to try your luck than to do nothing, right?”
