Chapter 75: Lin An Chaos 2
"Where did you come from?" Xiao Yan asked as he walked. One of the guards around him went to the temporary station of the garrison to report the news first. Xiao Yan just walked towards the sentry at the entrance of the village with three guards and five Zhen Yuan.
Zhen Yuan seemed to be a little weak. As he walked, he answered breathlessly, "It's right in front." Point to the other side of a big tree at the entrance of the village.
Xiao Yan saw that it was the guard place of the sentry, and his heart thumped. He made a gesture to signal the guards to hide and be careful.
Five people lined up along the dark shadow by the wall. Xiao Yan took the head, and Zhen Yuan was in the middle, slowly walking forward. When he was still more than ten steps away from the tree, Xiao Yan stopped and looked around carefully. He didn't know what he was thinking.
The experience Xiao Yan learned from later generations is that the sentry is bright and dark. Even if the sentry is served, the warning should be issued. However, so far, there has been no news about the two sentries. Xiao Yan feels a little wrong. There was an indescribable chilling feeling in my heart, but I couldn't say what was wrong.
As a last resort, Xiao Yan used the most lame move to ask for directions. He picked up a palm-sized stone and threw it out with a "swish" several times. At the same time, several stones were thrown in different directions. I only heard the sound of "ploping" hitting the ground in the distance, and there was no movement after waiting for a while.
At this time, Xiao Yan felt that the guard who went back to report the news was about to come back. He stood up and walked to the middle of the street to let the faint moonlight shine on him slowly move forward. The guards behind him wanted to come out together to stop Xiao Yan, but one person came stubbornly. Xiao Yan did not silently point out that the two people in front of him walked forward together.
Xiao Yan stood in the moonlight. If someone hid in the dark, he would deliberately let him see it. At the same time, Xiao Yan also wanted to attract them to appear.
Who knew that he didn't see a ghost all the way to the uncle. At that time, the light and secret sentry on duty was hidden in the grass behind the tree, and it seemed that he fainted.
Xiao Yan called the guards behind him with a wave and ordered them to wake up the two sentries. Unexpectedly, he tossed around for a while and didn't wake up. At that time, a folded note fell from the arms of one of the guards. The guard took it over and handed it to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan opened it and took a look.
The face looks uncertain under the moonlight. I don't know what is written on it!
For a long time, there was a rapid sound of footsteps behind, and the flame of the torch flashed, winding from far to near.
Seeing people approaching, Xiao Yan waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Wake them up later. Let's go back."
A leader-like officer asked timidly because he didn't know what had happened: "Then the vigilance here."
"No." Be on alert near the station and inform all out-of-village sentries to return to the camp for vigilance.
Xiao Yan was about to leave after saying that, and he turned around. It seemed that he had forgotten something to say. According to the notice, the banner of Jiankang garrison will be launched early tomorrow morning. We will come to King Qin openly and no longer be sneaky.

Lin'an. The imperial camp in the north of the city. There are many armors in front of the door, and the long guns are shining under the torches at night, and the armor on the body is even brighter. People who are used to staying in Lin'an know that once this happens in front of the imperial camp, something big will happen. So all the good things and bad things hid in the house and no longer went out. Occasionally, some bold people would peek through the windows and high walls.
In front of the door of Yuyingsi is a spacious street. There are many shops on both sides of the street, which is a prosperous place in Lin'an Imperial City except for Dongcheng. Usually, at night, the lights are also extremely lively. This afternoon, the imperial camp department posted a notice announcing a curfew. Pedestrians are not allowed to travel in the evening, otherwise they will be regarded as a mess.
At this time, a rapid sound of horseshoe broke the silence of the night. Behind the three horses, there were two pairs of sergeants of the imperial camp marching quickly. When they arrived at the gate of the Royal Camp Division, the three quickly got off their horses, threw the reins to the sergeant behind them, and galloped into the gate, completely ignored the flattering sign of the sergeant standing guard.
The three walked to a brightly lit hall in the courtyard, which was full of armored officers. As soon as the three people suddenly greeted, General Miao came back, alas! Isn't that General Wu Zhan, the gate guard of the palace? General Liu is also here.
The voices in the council hall were boiling. Standing in the middle is General Miao, the leader of the imperial camp, and the deputy commanders Liu Zhengyan and Wu Zhan on both sides. Miao Fu is short but burly, with a tough face. At a glance, you can know that he is a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He waved his hand and said, "General Wu Zhan is deeply righteous and willing to work with us."
As soon as the voice fell, Wu Zhan on the side took a step forward. He was a white, medium-sized and slightly weak person, but his eyes were bright, and he was just a person who could hear the news all over his body.
Wu Zhan took a step forward, glanced at the people in the hall, and said, "All of them are the people of the rest of their lives. They are the meritorious officials of my Song Dynasty. They should have been rewarded by the court, but now they have even made it difficult to support their families. What's the reason?"
Without waiting for everyone to answer, he then said, "All of them are worried about their livelihood because there are treacherous ministers in the court for the country and the people, such as the generals. And the one who slaps the horse is in a high position.
is indeed a character. Miao Fu on the side secretly praised.
"Kang Li, Lan Ji and Zeng chose three eunuchs, which made the three arrogant and domineering because of their deep favor. In particular, Wang Yuan's old man actually made friends with a eunuch and became a member of the Privy Council. When the gold soldiers invaded the south, he did not think about the kindness of the country and the soldiers, and the ship was full of his personal greedy gold, silver and jewelry. Fortunately, I had a vegetarian meal at the corpse position and lived a good life. Our royal battalion and the forbidden army in the palace couldn't even pay. What do you think we should do?
Wu Zhan saw that the emotions of the people in the hall were excited, so he stopped to look at them.
"Brothers, we are loyal to the saints, but we can't tolerate this group of treacherous ministers standing on the court." Zhang Kui, the confidant general of Miao Fu, said here and raised his arms, "Supice the treacherous minister and clean up the king's side."
Everyone's emotions were completely stimulated, regardless of the night, where they shouted.
Seeing that everyone was almost venting, Miao Fu waved his hand and motioned everyone to calm down.

"The people in the court are old and cunning, and we can't rely on the courage of blood alone. There must be a detailed plan. Miao Fu looked at the people talking and talked about the plan with his staff and confidants for a long time. It took two mores to complete the arrangement.
Not everyone can do the mutiny, so although it has been two days, the people who walked out of the hall according to the arrangement are still energetic and can't see a trace of sleepiness.
Looking at the people who came out one after another, Miao Fu said a meaningful sentence, "It's another sleepless night! I hope I can have a good night's sleep tomorrow.
