Chapter 16 Porridge Shop Secret Talk
Just as Yuqun explained the residence of Guangcheng Gongyu Huaide to Su Wanyue, Jiang Dongfang hurried back from the market. When he came to the porridge shop, he was stunned. After all, Su Wanyue was surrounded by soldiers from Yanyun. When he took a closer look, he found that Yao Xiu and an unknown man were sitting at a table with Su Wanyue, as if they were whispering something.
Jiang Dongfang stood there and paused for a while. He continued to walk beside Su Wanyue. When he approached, he gently put his hand on Su Wanyue's shoulder, and then said to Su Wanyue affectionately, "Wanyue, this is..."
"Oh, Dongfang, are you back?" Su Wanyue also looked happy when she saw Jiang Dongfang, "They are all friends, not outsiders. Sit down quickly!" After saying that, she pulled Jiang Dongfang to sit next to him, and the concubine, who had been sitting next to Su Wanyue, changed his seat knowingly.
"The villain Jiang Dongfang, a native of Dongyi." As soon as Jiang Dongfang took his seat, he introduced himself. He glanced at Yao Xiu opposite, and then looked at the young man beside him, "I don't know who you are, general?" Through the costumes of Yuqun, Jiang Dongfang can naturally see that he is a general.
"My name is Yu Qun, Yao Xiu's cousin." Yuqun replied with a smile, and then he said in a low voice, "Don't look back. There are a few pairs of eyes in the hotel." Jiang Dongfang listened to Yuqun's words, and he saluted him politely and nodded at the same time, "I understand! General, thank you for your hard work.
"Nothing!" The concubine waved his hand, "This is really annoying for you two! If it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't know when my head moved. After saying that, Yu Qun was on the table and drew the residence of Guangcheng Gonghuaide that he told Su Wanyue again.
"I should have been to this mansion." Jiang Dongfang read it, thought for a moment and then replied, "Yes! The mansion I just went to should be the place you mentioned, General.
"Is it?" Hearing this, Yuqun asked in surprise, "Ha ha, it turns out that Brother Jiang has gone to explore it. What's going on in there?"
"I followed the team of vehicles this morning." Jiang Dongfang replied, "This mansion is very strict. The team of vehicles entered the mansion through the back door of the mansion. I wandered outside the mansion for most of the day and didn't find any place to enter the mansion. Originally, there were several big trees outside the mansion, but it looked like they had been cut down recently. Moreover, I vaguely saw that there were occasional people on the wall of the mansion. I'm afraid they have built simple fortifications in some parts of the house.
"Fortifications?" After listening to Jiang Dongfang's words, he took a cold breath, "If you say so, I remember something. About half a month ago, Duke Guangcheng wrote that the wall of his mansion had been in disrepair and needed to be repaired. This was originally their own business in their house, and there was no need to inform the state of it. Now it seems that they have built defensive fortifications in the mansion in the name of repairing the courtyard wall.
"If this is the case, general, what should we do?" Jiang Dongfang listened to Yuqun's words and looked at Qiqun in surprise. It seems that there must be something wrong with Guangcheng Gongxiang Huaide.
"I think it's better not to alarm them first." Kunqun thought for a moment and replied, "I still want you two to help me visit Guangcheng's mansion. Now, he must have gathered a large number of civilian husbands in the name of repairing the mansion. These people will not live in the mansion at night, and they should know something. Moreover, you have always suspected that Duke Guangcheng is secretly transporting troops to the city, so these orc soldiers who enter the mansion will definitely leave some traces.
"Good! Then let's do it together." Jiang Dongfang nodded repeatedly after listening to the words of the concubine group. Then, he took Su Wanyue's hand and stood up together and said, "General! Today is really a good day. It's troublesome for the general to treat you. He hopes that you can go to the inn to have a talk.
"Haha! See you outside, brother. Yu Qun waved his hand with a smile, "I have something else to do today. I'll go to the inn another day to disturb!"
"Okay, then we'll leave." Jiang Dongfang and Su Wanyue finished talking and left the porridge shop hand in hand. The guests at the opposite hotel saw each other and whispered a few words to each other. Then one of them stood up, quietly walked out of the hotel, and moved forward behind Jiang Dongfang and others.
While Jiang Dongfang was talking with Yu Qun, a group of vehicles slowly rushed to the fork in the road from the direction of Yunzhou. In front and back of the vehicle, each orc cavalry is protecting the vehicle's progress.
Zhang Zhentian and the original soldiers who followed him found this situation. Naturally, they understand that there must be problems in these car accounts. At the same time, Zhang Zhentian also understands that the orcs will do so, and they must have known that there may be original soldiers near this road.
"Go and tell General Zhou to hide!" Zhang Zhentian whispered to a cavalry captain beside him, "Don't ride a horse, run there."
"Okay! Mr. Zhang. Hearing this, the captain of the cavalry slowly retreated, then took off his military uniform and ran to Yanzhou City.
Fortunately, the orc team did not find the figure of the cavalry captain. They are still moving forward slowly. It seems that there must be heavy objects in their car accounts, so they don't travel fast. On some difficult roads, the cavalry had to disembarrass their horses and push the people who escorted the vehicles forward.
"General Xubu, do you think their original people can really find our traces?" An orc soldier riding on a horse asked a tall general beside him, "I don't think there is any trace of the original man on this road. If they find us, they won't let us pass so easily, will they?"
"Naturally, the prince has the principle of the prince." The burly general replied, "Since he told us to be careful, let's be careful!" When we escort the vehicle to the hill ahead, we will go back to the camp.
"Okay! General." The orc soldier answered, and then he asked, "General, shall we go to the front to scout first?" It is already very close to Yanzhou. Going further, there is a fork in the road.
"Yes! Go ahead! Be more careful." After saying that, the general waved his hand and about 20 cavalry rushed forward together.
At this time, the cavalry captain who went to Zhou Peihu to report the news had conveyed the news of the discovery of the orc cavalry escort convoy to Zhou Peihu. Zhou Peihu thought for a moment, and then he looked at the nearby terrain. If the convoy only passes by himself, he is sure that he will not be detected by the orcs, but if there is cavalry escort, they will definitely scout on both sides of the road, so it is hard to say where they are.
"Listen to my order and retreat in the direction of Yanzhou for another period!" Zhou Peihu finally ordered, "Everyone will retreat to the crop field. Take good care of your horses!" After saying that, he took his soldiers and retreated in the direction of Yanzhou.
Zhang Zhentian, who is also near the fork in the road, doesn't have to worry about such a problem. Because they are hidden far away from the road, and even if the orc cavalry goes back and forth, it is difficult for them to notice them by the road.
When the orc cavalry approached the vehicle near the fork in the road, a group of orc cavalry first got on the road to Yanzhou. They searched on both sides of the road and moved forward. When they reached Zhou Peihu's original hiding place, they stopped moving forward.
Soon, an orc cavalryman took out a small green flag from his arms, and he shook the convoy behind him. After the general who followed the convoy saw it, he stopped the horse, "The cavalry stopped moving forward and let the vehicle move forward by itself!" After saying that, he plucked his horse back to the road to Yunzhou. The cavalry in front of the reconnaissance saw that the general had led people back to Yunzhou, and they also had to quickly withdraw from the road to Yanzhou and go to Yunzhou. Although the road from the west gate of Yanzhou to Yunzhou is remote, it is wartime, and the orcs are also afraid of encountering vehicles from Yanzhou on the road and causing unnecessary trouble. Therefore, they are in a hurry to evacuate from the road to Yanzhou.
In the afternoon, the vehicle from Yunzhou has approached the west gate of Yanzhou. At this time, Zuo Liang, who was in the west gate, quickly left the west gate and ran to the porridge shop at the opposite market.
