The king behind the empress

Chapter 359 Game
Mo Chao led 300 elite troops and headed straight for Cangyi City under the cover of night.

Because Cangyi City seldom experienced wars, the guards are not very strict on weekdays. However, these days, the county magistrate Du Cang felt that the situation in Dazhou might change, so he specially sent a few more teams of guards to become soldiers. .

Therefore, before Mo Chao and the others rushed to the city with their men, they were immediately discovered by the soldiers on the tower.

Looking at the army outside the city that didn't even light the torches and deliberately concealed its tracks, the soldiers on the tower were shocked. While shooting arrows to warn Mo Chao and them, they sent out the signal of enemy attack inside the city.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow with a sharp sound of breaking the wind was directly nailed in front of Mo Chao and the others, and the guards stuck their heads out and shouted to the people below, "Stop coming, the gate of Cangyi City has been closed, if you dare to take a step closer, you will be killed!" .”

Looking at the soldiers making noise on the tower, Mo Chao couldn't help but frowned. In his impression, the soldiers in Cangyi City were full of wine and food, and logically speaking, they shouldn't be so dedicated to their duties.

If he had known this earlier, then he didn't need to cover up his tracks just now, he just walked over in a swaggering way, but now deliberately covering up his tracks is a bit suspicious.

But since they are all here, no matter if they succeed or not, they have to give it a try.

He asked the soldiers under his command to light the torches, and then signaled his henchmen to come forward and shout.

"Blind your dog's eyes, the second son of King Yu's Mansion is here, you dare to shoot arrows, don't you want your head?"

Mo Chao's confidant took a step forward, and started yelling at the tower: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and open the city gate, and delay the Second Young Master's affairs, can you take responsibility?"

"The second son of Prince Yu?"

Hearing that the second son of King Yu was under the city, the city gate officer who was dragged up from the bed couldn't help but feel a little sinking. At this juncture, the second son of King Yu led so many people to quietly touch the city under the city in the middle of the night, using his toes I also know that he has no good intentions.

But Prince Yu's Mansion was not something that he, a small city gate official, could offend, so after hesitating for a moment, he immediately called a confidant, "Hurry up and invite the county magistrate, and say that the second son of Prince Yu's Mansion will bring you I am here to delay the time and let the adults come quickly."

After his confidant left, the city gate officer took a step forward and said to the people below: "Opening the city gate is really a very important matter, why don't you send up the token of King Yu's Mansion first for the next officer to have a look at?"

"Okay, put the gondola down."

The identity verification is also a normal process, so the people on Mo Chao's side didn't think too much about it. After the hanging basket on the city wall was lowered unsteadily, Mo Chao casually threw a token of Prince Yu's Mansion into it.

"Okay, it's already put in, pull it."

"okay."

When the city gate officer heard the agreement, he began to pull up the hanging basket. It took him a long time to move up a little at this speed, which raised the blood pressure of Mo Chao's confidants.

"Haven't you fucking eaten?"

Seeing that it has been pulled for a long time, the hanging basket is only more than two meters high, and he wished he could pull it down again as soon as he stretched out his hand. Mo Chao's confidant couldn't bear it any longer, and roared at the top: "An empty basket! It's just a basket, are you going to drag it until tomorrow morning?"

"I'm really sorry, Second Young Master."

The city gate officer didn't mind being scolded at all, he still pulled the hanging basket up at the speed of a turtle, and then he didn't forget to explain to the following: "It's not that we don't want to pull it, it's just that there is something wrong with the sliding pole in the past two days, and we can't use it hard. If you push hard, it won't move at all."

"Don't worry, I will definitely pull you up in half an hour at most."

"Half an hour?!"

Mo Chao's confidant's eyebrows twitched in anger. It takes half an hour to pull a hanging basket. Are you fooling the idiot here?

If it wasn't for worrying about being shot down, he really wanted to climb up directly along the rope of the hanging basket, and then twist the head of the person who was talking on it.

Just thinking about the important matter of the young master, he suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't use the hanging basket, let me put the hanging basket down, and I will throw the token directly on it for you."

"Oh, that's fine, Your Excellency is so smart, I'll put the hanging basket down for you right now."

As he said that, the city gate officer pulled up a hanging basket with all his strength, and after the hanging basket had risen to a certain height, he lowered the hanging basket at a speed similar to that of pulling the hanging basket up just now.

"you……"

Mo Chao's confidant clenched his fists tightly, and he swore that when the young master took down Cangyi City, he would cut off the dog's head of that guy on the tower with his own hands!
After waiting for a long time, the hanging basket finally lowered slowly again. Mo Chao's confidants didn't wait for the hanging basket to hit the ground, and directly reached out and turned the hanging basket over, and then took out the token from inside.

"Upstairs, look out!"

Mo Chao's confidant took a few steps back, and then with enough strength, he threw the token directly to the top of the city gate.

"Dang bang~"

The metal token fell on the masonry of the gate tower, making a crisp sound, and then the confused voice of the gate officer sounded from the gate tower, "Hey, my lord, where did you throw the token? Why didn't I see it?"

"You're finding fault on purpose, aren't you?"

Mo Chao's confidant suddenly became angry, "Can you open this city gate?"

"If you are from Prince Yu's Mansion, then I will definitely open it."

The innocent voice of the city gate officer came from the city gate tower, "But you can't prove your identity, how can I open it for you?"

"you……"

Mo Chao's confidant wanted to say something, but was interrupted directly by Mo Chao, "Okay, Xu Liang."

After scolding his confidant, Mo Chao took a step forward, and said in a flat tone: "You know very well whether we belong to Prince Yu's Mansion or not."

"I just want to ask you one question now, this Cangyi City, do you want us to enter or not?"

Hearing the Lord's words, the city gate officer poked his head out cautiously, and said, "I'm really sorry, Second Young Master, I can't verify your identity here, so I dare not let you in rashly."

"But don't worry, I have already informed the county magistrate, and he will definitely give you an accurate answer."

"County magistrate? Du Cang?"

Hearing what the city gate officer said, Mo Chao immediately understood the city gate officer's plan. He didn't dare to offend either side, so he pretended to be stupid here to delay the time.

"Humph~"

Mo Chao snorted coldly, knowing that his plan to cheat the city was probably aborted, but he did not retreat in a hurry, and stood quietly outside the city gate waiting for Du Cang's arrival.

He wanted to see what was different about Du Cang, whom his elder brother admired so much.

Du Cang was not asked to wait long for Mo Chao. After receiving the news from the city gate officer, Du Cang almost didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he directly led a horse and went straight to the city gate.

"How's the situation?"

After arriving at the city gate, Du Cang could not help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing that the city wall was calm and calm, and asked the city gate officer about the specific situation.

The city gate official reported truthfully: "My lord, the people below claim to be the second son of Prince Yu's Mansion, and they quietly touched outside our city wall, and didn't stop until they were discovered by our people."

"Now they ask us to open the city gate to let them in. The officials don't dare to make decisions without authorization, so I can only let the adults make the decision."

"You did very well."

Du Cang guessed the city gate officer's plan with just a little thought, but he didn't expose it. After all, although he left the problem to himself, it was better than letting Mo Chao and the others in directly.

And compared to the thoughts of the city gate officials, Du Cang is now even more curious about Mo Chao's intentions for their visit.

Thinking of the confrontation with Mo Tai during this period of time, coupled with the current situation in Dazhou, Du Cang's heart suddenly sank, "Could it be that something happened again, King Yu is going to rebel?"

Mo Chao led his troops to the city in the middle of the night, which was obviously the rhythm of taking the city.

Thinking of this, Du Cang raised his head and looked into the distance. Although Mo Chao was cautious and left the soldiers far away, he didn't find anything, but he was very sure in his heart that there must be people behind Ma Chao. After all, Cangyi City After all, there are thousands of troops. It is simply unrealistic to use 300 people to capture the city.

"No, it doesn't look like it's nearby."

Looking at the only three hundred people outside the city gate, Du Cang couldn't help but move slightly, and said to the city gate officer: "Lu Fang, go and get all the people from the Shenbow Camp and lie in ambush outside the city gate. "

"ambush?"

After Lu Fang heard Du Cang's order, his expression was a little ugly, "My lord, he is the son of King Yu after all, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"

"Nothing inappropriate."

Du Cang's expression was indifferent, if it was confirmed that King Yu rebelled, so what if he killed his son-in-law, he was the magistrate of Da Zhou, not his magistrate of King Yu, if he dared to rebel, he would dare to kill him.

It's just that he was also aware of Lu Fang's concerns, so he calmed down and said, "I made the order, and it has nothing to do with you. You just need to carry it out."

How could this have nothing to do with me...

Lu Fang felt a little helpless in his heart, if King Yu's son died under his hands, no matter who gave the order, King Yu would not let him go.

It's just that looking at Du Cang's attitude now, it is obvious that there is no room for change. If he dares to refuse again, he may be in trouble before King Yu settles the score with him, so he had no choice but to nod helplessly, and said: "Yes. , My lord, I will make arrangements for the humble post."

After Lu Fang left, Du Cang picked up the token of Prince Yu's Mansion from the top of the city gate, looked at it for a while, walked to the gap in the city wall, and shouted to the bottom: "My official Du Cang, Mr. Mo Chao is here!" ?”

"I'm here."

Mo Chao raised his head, looked at Du Cang, and asked lightly, "Master Du, I want to enter the city now, what do you say?"

"Mr. Mo Chao, wise people don't speak dark words. In front of this official, don't go around in circles."

Du Cang didn't intend to fight against Mo Chao at all, and asked straight to the point: "I want to know what King Yu means. Before, His Royal Highness made every effort to make things difficult, but now Mr. Mo Chao is leading troops to attack the warehouse at night. Yicheng, is it true that he intends to rebel?"

Mo Chao felt that Du Cang's tone seemed not so resolute, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked back, "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

"If not, son, you can go back wherever you came tonight, the gate of Cangyi City will never be opened to you."

Du Cang first categorically said a harsh word, then softened his tone a little, and continued: "If so, I want to know how King Yu plans to deal with Cangyi City, and how to deal with this official?"

"Ok?"

Mo Chao was slightly taken aback, then looked at Du Cang suspiciously, "What does Master Du want?"

Hearing that Mo Chao did not deny his words, Du Cang's heart sank. It seemed that King Yu was going to turn against him.

After confirming this matter, Du Cang had no hesitation in his heart. He looked at Mo Chao and said sincerely: "I want it to be very simple, and that is Cangyi City's autonomy."

"I have been operating in Cangyi City for many years. If I am transferred from Cangyi City, my efforts in the past few years will be in vain, so I want Cangyi City's autonomy."

"The army can let you take over, but you can't interfere with the government affairs of Cangyi City. If the second son can agree to this condition, the official of Cangyi City will hand over."

"Don't meddle in government affairs?"

A contemptuous smile appeared on Mo Chao's face, obviously disdainful of this condition, but he didn't say much about it, but said in a deep voice: "Okay, as long as Mr. Du is willing to cooperate with us, I can replace this condition." My father promises you."

"But Mr. Du, do you want to show a little sincerity first, for example, let us enter the city first?"

"It's natural."

Du Cang agreed without hesitation, and said, "Come on, open the city gate!"

Seeing that the city gate really opened slowly, Mo Chao was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face. He reached out and took the spear from his back, and at the same time ordered to his subordinates: "There are eighty percent of the people in the city. Ambush, be careful after entering the city, watch where I charge, just follow me."

Mo Chao basically didn't believe a word of Du Cang's words. If Du Cang could surrender so easily, he wouldn't be taken so seriously by his elder brother.

He guessed that the reason why Du Cang would open the city gate now must be because he had already set up an ambush behind the city gate and was just about to attack him.

Thinking of this, Mo Chao had a playful smile on his face.

At first, I thought that today's deceitful city would be fruitless, but I didn't expect Du Cang to be smart enough to give himself a chance.

In this case, let him see what is marrow cleansing state!
Want to ambush me?I am the one who can command an army alone!
Having made up his mind, Mo Chao no longer hesitated, holding his long spear in his hand, and walked into the city gate first, followed by three hundred soldiers.

"It's arrogant."

Looking at Mo Chao who walked into the city gate, Du Cang narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that his rhetoric could not fool Mo Chao, but in this case, Mo Chao still dared to bring 300 people in, and walked in openly. This shows that he has absolute confidence in his heart that he can break through his ambush.

"It's just...why do you think that I don't know that you are a marrow-cleansing physical cultivation?"

As early as when Motel wanted to attack Cangyi City, Du Cang had already started to collect information about Prince Yu's Mansion. For the second son of Prince Yu's Mansion who came back from the frontier army, Du Cang knew very well about the physical training of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

And since he knew his strength, he was allowed to enter the city, which shows that Du Cang is the one who really controls everything.

　Happy National Day everyone, I can hardly keep my eyes open, and I have to go to bed quickly.
