Chapter 15 East Gate
The servant guarding the door saw the people rushing towards him,
No doubt about him,

Quickly open the door and let everyone go get water.
He didn't even notice that there were four unfamiliar faces in the crowd.

out the gate,

Liu Xuan and Sun Wan'er disappeared quietly into the corner.

Meet Zhao Liniang who is waiting outside.

Everyone finally returned to their starting point under the cover of night.

Three missing women found,

Then something must have happened to the three missing men.

Liu Xuan and Zhao Liniang were busy for half the night.

I'm also a little tired,
finished eating,

Liu Xuan called over the remaining men.
Arrange for them to investigate near the recruitment point of the county magistrate's office.

I quickly caught up on some sleep before dawn.

Wake up,
The people who went out to explore have returned.

There is indeed a problem at the recruitment site of the County Magistrate's Office.
As long as they are healthy refugees,

They will all be taken into a courtyard next to the county magistrate’s office.
Then he was never seen again.

And the other two men who were investigating,

But I found an abnormal situation,
On the road leading to the east gate of Huaiyin County,

Soldiers escorted the prisoners out of the east gate.

"Outside the east gate?"

Liu Xuan muttered,
"As far as I know, there is a mountainous area outside the east gate of Huaiyin. How could the escorted prisoners go to the east gate?"

Zhao Liniang analyzed from the side,

"If we are really escorting the prisoners, we should go north or west to Xudu. Going to the east gate should be just a cover."

"It makes sense. There must be something fishy in it. Please don't go out for the next two days."

Liu Xuan received rice for everyone, then ordered two smarter men, and took Zhao Liniang out again.

When we arrived near the east gate, it turned out that the guards here were quite tight.

Because there is a mountainous area outside the east gate,

There are few civilians walking around here.

Liu Xuan observed for a while,
Soldiers here need tokens to enter and exit the city gate.
Is there something shady going on outside the city gate?
was thinking,

The man next to him suddenly pointed at the city gate.
"Look, it's those two people. It's those two people who escorted the prisoner early this morning."

Liu Xuan looked intently,

Those were two heavily armed soldiers,
An infantry archer and a sword and shield soldier.

"If we escort the prisoner, he won't be able to come back so soon."

Liu Xuan said softly,
"Unless the place where they are escorted is outside the city."

Zhao Liniang said,

"The escort was chosen in the early morning, which shows that they don't want to be seen,"

"If that's the case, there should be another escort at night."

Liu Xuan nodded,
"Yes, now we can be sure that Zhao Ming and the others should also have been sent outside the east gate,"

"If you want to find them, you can only go outside the east gate to find out."

"But the guards are so tight, how can the lord get out of the city?"

Liu Xuan thought for a while,

"Liniang, your ability to use makeup to disguise yourself must have improved a lot recently, right?"

"Well, thanks to my lord's advice, Liniang has benefited a lot."

"The average person can't see it unless they look closely."

Zhao Liniang smiled proudly.

Liu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself,

"That's right, Chinese cosmetics, one of the four major magic arts in Asia, is not just for show."

"Not to mention that ordinary people can't tell, even her mother won't be able to recognize her if she wears more powerful makeup."

Liu Xuan turned to look at the two men,

"Do you dare to come with me to the east gate tonight?"

The two men looked at each other, the excitement in their eyes was beyond words.
"If you don't dare, just follow the Lord's orders."

In the words, the name Liu Xuan was changed.

"Okay, let's go back and make some preparations and wait for dark."

dusk,

It will be dark but not dark yet,

Liu Xuan, Zhao Liniang and two men had been waiting near the east gate for a long time.
This location was chosen by Liu Xuan after investigation.

It is the only way to the east gate from the county magistrate's office.
There are many lanes on both sides of the street.
There are also several big trees standing on the street.

Make it easier for them to hide their appearance.

Liu Xuan held the hunting bow in his hand,
Keep your eyes on the other side of the street.

When it's getting dark,
Finally, there was a sound of chains dragging the floor in the distance.

Two soldiers escorted a refugee in shabby clothes and walked over slowly.These two soldiers are also an infantry archer and a sword and shield soldier.

This configuration skill resists the attacks of refugees.
He can also shoot the fleeing refugees.

But in this Huaiyin city,

No refugee dared to resist or escape.

As the two escorted the refugees in front of them through an alleyway,

The Sword and Shield Bi on the right suddenly groaned,
The body fell down,

An arrow passed through his neck,
And crushed the central nerve in his cervical spine.

The horse archers saw the sword and shield soldiers falling to the ground,

Randomly and alertly, the ground rolled a certain distance,
When I stood up again, I had the bow in my hand and the arrows on the string.
As expected of a well-trained regular army.

As soon as the horse archer stood up, the arrow in his hand shot towards the alley.

The arrow was not aimed,

It's just fire suppression so that you have time to judge the enemy's position.
The horse archer shot an arrow,
He immediately took out another arrow from the quiver and prepared to attack.

It's a pity that Liu Xuan's arrow has already arrived.

Although Liu Xuan's arrow shooting speed is not as fast as the horse archer,

But he never fails,

The horse archer has not yet fired his arrow,

An arrow had penetrated into his neck.

The horse archer was so helpless that he fell to the ground,

The body has not yet touched the ground,
I was supported by a man,
Quickly dragged into the dark alley.

The escorted refugees are still trapped in the trap,

He turned around and looked around, and finally saw Zhao Liniang waving to him from behind a big tree on the street.

The refugee quickly took three steps and then took two steps and hid behind the tree.

Here Liu Xuan and a man quickly took off the clothes of the dead soldier.
Wear it on yourself,

Another man took the key from the soldier.
Unlock the chains on the homeless feet,
Put them on your legs,
He hid the key in his belt again.

The refugees didn't know why, but they didn't dare to speak out.

"If you want to survive, follow her later and don't ask any questions."

While Liu Xuan was getting dressed, he pointed at Zhao Liniang and said to the refugees,
The refugee nodded quickly,

Liu Xuan said to Zhao Liniang again,

"Have you seen their appearance clearly?"

"You can see it clearly. Don't worry, my lord, you can at least turn it into an eighty-point image."

Zhao Liniang nodded and immediately took out a box of homemade makeup powder.

Start putting makeup on Liu Xuan and another man.

Zhao Liniang gestured very quickly,
It only took a quarter of an hour to transform Liu Xuan and the other man into a man so that they could no longer recognize each other.

Disguise completed,

Liu Xuan picked up the long bow of the foot archer and weighed it in his hand.

It is indeed a good bow.
It was completely different from his crude hunting bow.

"Liniang, please take him back first and don't come out yet."

"Well, my lord, be careful."

Several people split up and acted.

Liu Xuan and a man escorted another man,
Take advantage of the night and head outside the east gate.

The sergeant guarding the gate checked the pass.

Then he let the three people go.

Exiting the east gate of Huaiyin,

There is only one road leading to the mountains ahead,
Liu Xuan calmly escorted the man towards the mountain.

Turned a corner,

But I saw the mountains ahead were brightly lit.

A huge mine appeared in front of several people.

The mines are full of men working in chains.
around the mine,

There were many people standing with whips in their hands,

He ordered the people in the pit to work with a fierce and fierce voice.

Anyone who is slightly dissatisfied will be whipped with a whip.

It turns out that the so-called county magistrate provides jobs for the refugees.
This is where mining happens.

And it’s mining day and night,

In just these few minutes,

Liu Xuan saw a miner with blood all over his head.

He was carried out of the mine by two sturdy men.

Throw it down the mountain over there,
Then disappeared.
