Chapter 245 Climbing the City Wall

A group of five people rode horses with cloth wrapped under their hooves, and they walked in silence. Ji Sibo led the way, and the other four followed behind him.

Soon they came to the first five feet below the gate of Dingxiang City. At this distance, the fire on the city wall could not reach them, and they could well hide their figures.

Feng Hao looked at Ji Sibo angrily, and lowered his voice, "General Ranger, it's up to you to let Xiliang people open the city gate."

Ji Sibo glanced at him, calmly picked up the bow and arrow, drew the bow to the full, and as soon as he let go, the arrow shot in from the top of the city wall.

"what?"

"alert!"

There was a commotion among the Xiliang people on the city wall, and soon someone went down the tower, picked up the sudden arrow, and saw a small bamboo tube tied to the end of the arrow.

Opening the small bamboo tube and pouring out a small note inside, the soldier from Xiliang looked bewildered. These were Chinese characters, and he couldn't understand them.

"What is it?" asked another soldier next to him.

The man also glanced at the small note, then thought for a while, and said, "Take this piece of paper and show it to the general."

The arrow that suddenly flew to help the little note this night, such a strange thing, must be reported.

The small note was stuffed back into the bamboo tube, and the arrow was sent back to the camp by the soldiers.

Ji Sibo and his party waited outside for about half an hour, Feng Hao began to get a little impatient, "General Ranger, is your method useful? We have been waiting here for so long."

Ji Sibo's expression was calm, without the slightest bit of impatience, and he said in a low voice, "Wait a little longer." Then he ordered the three personal guards sent by Duke Lu, "Protect General Feng well."

Feng Hao subconsciously pulled the horse back and retreated to the rear.

The three personal guards didn't show their faces, but they were somewhat disdainful in their hearts. A dignified general is not as courageous as these personal guards.

Ji Sibo ignored Feng Hao and focused on looking at the city wall. His eyes and ears were sharp and he could hear voices coming out after the arrow shot in. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand Xiliang dialect.

But as far as the eye could see, the city walls were more fortified, and the archers stood in a row, already setting up their arrows vigilantly.

The wind was cold and his breath was white. Ji Sibo sat on the horse and waited for half an hour without moving.

His performance really made the three guards look sideways. The three were under the order of Duke Lu to monitor the actions of the two of them. They did not expect that Ji Sibo was still young, with a calm temperament and strong martial arts.

Only those who practice martial arts can resist this kind of cold.

Time passed bit by bit, and suddenly, there were many more torches on the city wall, which inspired Ji Sibo and others to cheer up.

Under the light of the fire, one could clearly see a middle-aged man in armor coming down to the city wall surrounded by soldiers, and asked in Daqi dialect, "Who shot the arrow?"

The three guards involuntarily looked at Ji Sibo, unknowingly seeing him as the master.

Ji Sibo lowered his voice, "I'll go out and show up."

He first raised his voice and called out, "I am Daqi's cavalry general, please ask this general to restrain your subordinates, don't miss it."

The general on the city wall followed the voice and saw only a dark area, "When you come out to meet, didn't you say you wanted to see our commander-in-chief? Why, don't you dare now?"

Holding a long spear, Ji Sibo slowly emerged from the darkness on his horse defensively. When his figure was exposed to the eyes of Xiliang people, the general sharpened his eyes and looked him up and down.

General Xiliang remembered the commander's order, and snorted coldly, "Didn't you say that General Feng of your Tengxiang Army asked to see you? Where is your General Feng? Or are you lying to us? Can't you seek death?"

After the man finished speaking, a lieutenant beside him suddenly made a gesture, and the archers on the city wall drew their bows together and turned the arrows towards Ji Sibo.

Ji Sibo glanced at him without fear, and looked at General Xiliang with clear eyes, "Of course General Feng is here, right behind me, but you are treating guests with bows and arrows? If this is really the case, we will not treat this guest." Well, farewell."

Although the plan is to pretend to be an internal response, they are here to "cooperate" with the Xiliang people. If the figure is too low, the Xiliang people will look down on them, making it difficult to achieve the results they want.

So Ji Sibo left without hesitation.

The Xiliang general frowned, feeling rather depressed, why would Feng Hao send such a stunned young man to negotiate?This young man is always so impulsive, did he order people to shoot arrows?
Seeing that Ji Sibo really turned his horse's head, he shouted in Xiliang dialect, "Put down the bow and arrow."

After the archer did so, the Xiliang general shouted again, "Okay, boy, let your General Feng come out quickly, or I will think you are playing tricks on me."

Ji Sibo looked back, and seeing that it was so, he reined in his horse, looked at Feng Hao's position, "General, come out."

Feng Hao came out from the shadows with three personal guards. General Xiliang carefully looked at Feng Hao's appearance, confirmed his identity, and said, "I don't know why General Feng is here?"

Feng Hao raised his head and said slightly displeased: "I have something important to discuss with your commander-in-chief, you plan to stand on the city wall and talk to me?"

General Xiliang looked at the huge darkness behind Feng Hao and his party, and he was really undecided. He was afraid that this was a trick of the envoys of Daqi. Thousands of troops were hidden in this darkness. Once they were coaxed away At the city gate, Daqi's army will suddenly rush out.

Feng Hao said angrily: "I brought four people here, and I have the courage to come to see you alone, don't you have the courage to open the city gate and let us in?"

He had been waiting here for nearly an hour, and the cold wind was really uncomfortable. Feng Haodong's voice was a little unsteady, and his tone naturally couldn't get better.

The Xiliang general didn't take it seriously, and said bluntly: "You Daqi people have always been cunning, you better be careful."

Ji Sibo's eyebrows and eyes were calm, "How about this, you can throw a rope from above, and we will climb up the rope. There are only five of us, with so many of you, shouldn't you lose your guts?"

After hearing this, the general of Xiliang felt that it was feasible, so he ordered someone to fetch the rope, let someone hold it, and threw it on the city wall.

Hearing that he was going to pull the rope to climb up, Feng Hao looked at the ice wall, his face turned green.

Seeing that the rope was thrown down, Ji Sibo jumped off the horse, tied the spear behind his back with a strap, pulled the rope, and found it was very stable. Holding the rope with his left hand, he held the dagger in his right hand. The dagger quickly inserted into the city wall, and his feet kept shaking the climb.

The Xiliang general frowned and looked at the ice cubes that kept falling from the ice wall. After all, he didn't speak. He silently watched Ji Sibo climb up quickly and jumped into the tower.
