013 [Ningxia Juyi]
Yao Qin left for one night. Zhang Hage and Huo Fangyi were uneasy. Zhang Hing kept comforting his injured wife, but Huo Fangyi remembered the past. During this day, the two experienced earth-shaking psychological changes, and Yao Qin never came back, and the two could not sleep at all. Especially when Huo Fangyi lay in ** recalling the good times when he was in school, how could he never return and was confused and crossed. He thought that he had not yet won or lost with Ye Da, and he didn't know whether this unfinished fight would become a lifelong regret.
The time is very long and short. Anyway, the sky began to light up slightly. Finally, a soft and rapid knock on the door sounded. Zhang Liling turned over and jumped down from **. He didn't even take off his shoes. He quietly leaned against the door and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Yao Qin!" There was a lower voice from there.
Zhang Xiaoling hurriedly opened the door and let Yao Qin in.
"Quickly, how's it going?" Huo Fangyi also came out when he heard the noise.
Yao Qin gasped and recovered for a long time. He said, "Last night, I went to the wall to find my brother. He happened to be on duty that night, so I told him what we thought. He said there was no problem and did as we said, but the guards at the gate of the Acropolis were all cronies, and there was nothing they could do, but there were more than 50 Han people guarding the wall. They were all worried that their families would be implicated on the day the city was destroyed, so they all decided to rise up with us tonight.
"Then how do we open the gate?"
"My brother happened to be on the night shift tonight. We have all agreed that more than 50 people are ready for weapons and are still standing guard in their respective positions. At that time, they will take the rocket as the name, and then everyone will rush to the gate to kill the soldiers guarding the north gate and open the gate to lead the Ming army into the city. My brother and I have investigated. There are only more than 20 guards at the North Gate, which is the easiest to fall. The more than 50 compatriots we are looking for are also guarded by the northern city wall.
"Hmm! Good idea!" Huo Fangyi nodded, and the ancients were still very resourceful and courageous.
"Then who went to inform Mingjun?"
"Bear by the way, in order to ensure the success of this battle, my brother decided to stay and fight with us. He found a very trustworthy friend and asked him to report to the Ming army. We have discussed that my brother will shoot three arrows on the wall as our name. We will cooperate with the Ming army inside and outside to level Ningxia.
After breakfast, Yao Qin went out to observe the situation and came back at noon.
"It's a little messy outside. It seems that I have found that the clouds have disappeared, and I have sent someone to start searching."
"I hope we can survive until tonight," Zhang Xiaoling prayed.
If things can go as smoothly as expected, it will be too arbitrary. In the evening, the search team came to Zhang Xiuling's home with a small team of 50 or 60 people. Zhang Xiaoling was uneasy and stood aside and kept shaking. He was afraid!
The leader instructed the soldiers to search the house carefully and not to leave a suspicious place. He stared at Zhang Yuling, Yao Qin and Huo Fangyi, as well as Zhang Xiaoling's wife.
"Have you seen this person?" The leader took out a picture, which was suddenly cloudy.
The woman screamed when she saw this picture, and the leader stepped forward and picked up the woman's collar and asked loudly, "What are you afraid of? Have you seen him?"
The woman quickly shook her head again.
"Look carefully. This is the adopted son of the Lord. If you see him, tell me quickly that there is a heavy reward. If you hide it and don't report it, the end will be very miserable!"
The woman peeked at the picture and shouted again. Yes, this is the ** own beast. How could she not recognize him? However, the woman shook her head desperately.
The leader grabbed the woman and stared at her in disbelief. Looking carefully, this woman is quite beautiful! Hey hey.
"Then what are you afraid of?" The leader questioned again.
Zhang Xiaoling hurried forward and said tremblingly, "My lord, my wife has never seen a big scene. You will scare her like this."
The leader looked at Zhang Xiaoling and laughed: "Look at your husband and wife, I don't dare to hide anything. But..."
The leader put down the woman and looked at Huo Fangyi and asked, "Who are they?" Why is it at your house?
Although Huo Fangyi is also very nervous, he has similar experience after all. For example, he once singled out more than a dozen gangsters or something, and he is relatively calmer. Although Yao Qin also has ghosts in his heart, he knows that he must pretend to be calm in the current situation.
"This military master, we are all his friends. After we came back from farm work together, we were tired and asked him for late water to drink." Yao Qin said calmly.
The leader looked at the table and found that there was nothing but a few bowls of water. The key was that the three of them were extremely nervous and drank water all day. Yao Qin was not worried that they looked at the table. What he was worried about was the cloudy head he put in the box, which was on the table behind the table at this time.
"What's in that box?" The leader's eyes glanced at the box on it from the table.
"Ah!" Zhang Liling screamed in horror, Yao Qin also sweated coldly in an instant, and Huo Fangyi's heart also came to his throat.
As the saying goes, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, but Zhang Xiaoling did not jump over the wall, but his head was extremely nervous, and he suddenly came up with an idea. This ideas originated from his son, who had just died.
"That, that contains my son's body. He is not yet one year old, woo," Zhang Xiaoling said and cried: "We are not willing to bury our son and want to guard him every day."
The woman also evoked a sad past and sobbed with her husband.
At this time, Yao Qin hurried to the leader's pocket and stuffed a bag of money and whispered, "This little money to honor your brothers. It's been very hard to fight for so long. If the box is opened, it will bring bad luck. Besides, such a small box can't hold General Yun.
The leader smiled with satisfaction and shouted, "Okay, let's go and search elsewhere!"
After the searchers left, several people took a long breath.
"I'm scared to death!" Huo Fangyi still had a lingering heart when he recalled just now.
"For good, Zhang Xiaoling is so clever that we escaped this disaster, otherwise it will be all over."
"Wife, go and cook. We should do our big thing after this meal." Zhang Liling thought that maybe this was the last meal he could eat.
The night was long, and when the three people arrived, they began to touch the night and walk to the gate. Yao Qin didn't forget to bring the head of the cloud when he left.
Huo Fangyi said angrily, "You still think this thing won't kill us!"
"But it can give us a good result, at least it can help us become a small leader."
"Greedy is not enough to swallow elephants!"
There were scattered patrol soldiers on the road, all of whom were hiding. Yao Qin is not sure. Once he fails, not only will he be killed, but also his whole family will be slaughtered. This time, he can only succeed, not fail!
The three finally touched the foot of the city wall, and Yao Qin's brothers responded in person under the city.
"Brother, are you here? Shall we start now?"
"Don't worry, it's not time yet. Wait a minute."
"Have you arranged everything?" Zhang Xiaoling asked uneasiedly.
"It's all carried out according to our consultation, and now Mingjun must have received our notice!"
"Okay, everything seems to be going well. Are the three rockets ready? Once the arrow is shot out, we have no way back.
"It's all ready. Let's do it!"
"What about the others?" Huo Fangyi asked
"They are all nearby. As soon as I launch the rocket, they will run over. If the target is too obvious, there are soldiers patrolling on the street."
"Is there any movement outside the city?"
"Why is it still quiet so far? Did something happen to the messenger halfway?" Zhang Xiaoling is a little worried.
"Don't talk, it won't."
In fact, the messenger has met Ma Gui, the deputy general of the Ming army outside the city, but he does not believe in the integrity of this letter. He would rather believe that this is a fraudulent book that lures the enemy to go deep and then ambush. Even if the content of the letter is true, he does not believe that Yao Qin will succeed in this situation, and more importantly, Because Li Rusong's army is about to arrive, now as long as he stays still, the emperor's imperial envoy has told him that he does not dare to disobey the holy order except for defense before the arrival of Li Rusong's army. Emperor Wanli has been impatient with him. Who let him lead troops here for more than a month without any achievements? So I've thought a lot about Ma Gui that it's better not to act rashly now.
Obviously, Comrade Ma Gui dares not use the phrase "I will not accept the fate of a foreign king".
Huo Fangyi didn't know that he had been fighting alone.
It will arrive in three quarters. We can't wait any longer. Maybe the Ming army is ready. They hide in the dark and wait for our signal. Yao Qin began to worry.
"What if Mingjun doesn't receive the letter or doesn't believe us?" Zhang Xiaoling asked worriedly
"Do you think we still have a way out?" Yao Qin scolded him
"The arrow has to be fired on the string!" Huo Fangyi also believes that the situation is already like this and can't go back.
"Well, I'm going to set off the rocket. After a while, our people will rush directly to the gate to cut down people, and then I'll give it to you."
Yao Qin looked at his brother's distant figure and felt inexplicable sadness, because this would be the last time the two brothers met. He knew that if his brother fired an arrow, other guard soldiers would rush over and kill him.
"My good brother, the people of Ningxia will thank you. We are for justice!"
