Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 513 Ye Chen's Whereabouts

At this time, another series of short horns sounded from the direction of the city gate. The sound of the horns made people panic, and Xia Chuntian stumbled and shouted: "Damn it, something happened, hurry up, hurry up, light up the beacon immediately, click now"

As soon as he said this, the soldier beside him suddenly took a step forward and threw his neck back abruptly. A cluster of sharp arrows appeared at his throat. Xia Chuntian's eyes suddenly bulged out, watching his soldier yelp Then, he stretched out his hand to touch his throat, and when he touched the tip of the arrow, his whole body also fell limply.

"Yes... who is it?" Xia Chuntian asked in a trembling voice with cold hands and feet, hunched over, but didn't even have the courage to turn around, because the arrow just shot out of the room on his body.

After all, he was a soldier, and he was still the Northwest Frontier Army of the Great Song Dynasty. Although he was only a veteran who was responsible for lighting the beacon fire, he had killed several people in the past few years. However, as soon as he moved, a hand quickly covered his mouth, and a sharp knife slit his throat, and then a woman's figure flew past him and ran towards the beacon tower .

Because of his duties, the small courtyard he lives in is next to the lower entrance of the Beacon Tower, very close to the Beacon Tower.

Xia Chuntian was lying on the ground, looking at the young woman with surprised eyes. She was climbing the escalator and running up like an ape. He rushed up, dodged in, and then killed the two panicked soldiers above who were about to light the beacon fire. His agility was amazing.

Xia Chuntian was like a chicken whose throat had been cut, its body twitched, and large streams of blood spurted out of its throat.He knew that he was going to die: "For the first time in my life, I pretended to be a decent person, and I haven't even touched Gou Ri's fingers... I really can't do a decent person, but who is this fucking woman!"

Xia Chuntian didn't know that this woman was a black crow in the church.

The goal of the Seventh Department of the Dangxiang is naturally not Balipo, nor is it any village or town.Moreover, the seven departments have long had a tacit understanding with each other under the unified deployment of the people from the temple.As soon as they entered the Song Dynasty, a small number of people were sent to fight Caogu, and led the northwest frontier army away from Balipo and several nearby military towns to start a chase.The rest of the people took the opportunity to pass through. Naturally, it was difficult for so many people to deceive the people at the head of Balipo City. They just prevented the people in Balipo Army Town from lighting the beacon fire within a certain period of time, and sending Balipo out to inform The holy church had already made arrangements for the robbery and killing of messengers from all directions.

The main force of the party's seven cavalry was only responsible for directly entering the hinterland, heading straight to the southeast. Naturally, they didn't go straight to Qingzhou to kill people.The Northwest Frontier Army was stationed outside Gyeongju City, so they would have died if they went.As early as at the entrance of Yandi Valley, there were seven mysterious people waiting one by one, each leading a party cavalry, going straight to where someone is today.

However, as soon as they passed Balipo, the few riders who were hiding on the top of the hill with a wide view of several nearby villages and towns rushed to the southeast of Balipo to another military town, Shilibao, a hundred miles away.

These people are the spies of Huaxia Weifu Xifu arranged by Huang Louping, the envoy of Huaxia Weifu Xifu.

Ye Chen came to the Northwest this time in the name of comforting the Northwest Frontier Army. He killed someone at the Gyeongju Frontier Army station yesterday, stabilized the morale of the army, and distributed money.However, there are another 2 troops in the Northwest Frontier Army scattered in cities, military villages, and military towns in various parts of the Northwest.Regardless of whether it is necessary or not, since he has received the order of the emperor to comfort the Northwest Frontier Army, he must go through the necessary procedures. He must go to every military town and military village with more than 2000 troops, and then pull Carrying several carts of copper coins and meat purchased in Gyeongju to comfort the army.

According to the plan, Ye Chen's fourth stop today is Ten Mile Fort.

At this time, accompanied by several generals of the Northwest Frontier Army, he took more than 100 subordinates of the Huaxia Guards and [-] personal soldiers sent by the Northwest Frontier Army to Shilibao at a leisurely pace.

In Ten Mile Fort, when the sunlight completely covered the entire high platform of the city wall made of yellow mud, the soldiers guarding the post looked down from the top of the city, lazily went down the city wall, and opened the city gate.

There is no moat or drawbridge in front of the city gate, and the city gate is made of a hard gate, which is not very thick.Opening the city gate and moving away the horses, a few soldiers came out staggeringly with their guns on their shoulders, followed by a big man with a beard holding a knife in one hand and a whip in the other, shouting loudly: "What's the hurry, stand still!" , Stand up, line up, prepare the city crossing tax, and guide the way.”

At this time, the people outside the city were busy standing up, some were pushing carts, some were carrying chicken coops, and some were carrying loads and selling vegetables. They were actually people from several small villages nearby.The villages and towns in this kind of place are sparse, and they are not close to each other. At this time, the merchants from other towns have just left, and they have to wait until after noon to get here.

Because the people who entered the city at this time were all acquaintances who often went to Shilibao to do business, so there was no need to verify their identities. They threw a few strings of city entry tax money on the table and entered the city.At this moment, a group of fast horses came in the distance, and the officer holding the whip squinted his eyes and looked at it, his face shook, and he glared at the soldiers who stretched their necks and looked around, "What are you looking at, what a fuss!" Yes, there are only a hundred or ten people, how can they still be the party members of Dacaogu? Hmph!"

He took a few steps forward and stood in the middle of the road, with his legs spread apart, his cowhide boots firmly on the ground, his hands behind his back, and his nostrils facing the sky, waiting for those people to come.After a while, the hundred and ten horses galloped in front of him.

"Stop!" The officer reached forward with his big hand, and shouted majestically: "What is this place that allows you to go on a rampage? Who are you, report your name!"

"Woo..." Immediately, a big man reined in the horse's reins, and with a whip, he put on the winter cap issued by the Northwest Frontier Army of the Song Army that only officers could wear to protect against the cold, revealing a pair of eyebrows and a majestic Fang Zhengda Face.

The officer guarding the city gate on the ground took a closer look, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly knelt on one knee and said loudly: "So it's General Niu. I didn't see it clearly before I was humbled. Please ask the general to make amends."

This person was Huang Louping, the commander of the West Mansion of the Huaxia Weifu who was disguised as a military commander named Niu Jing of the Northwest Frontier Army. He looked up and down at the officer guarding the gate of Shilipo, and laughed and cursed: "Hey! You are quite arrogant, tell General Liu that the imperial envoy will arrive in half an hour, and let him get ready to meet him."
