"Prince, there is Longjing Pass ahead!" Xiong Tingbi pointed to the vague city wall in front.

The two mountains on the left and right of Longjing Pass are opposite like gates. Three majestic peaks in the southwest stand in the middle. The Che River flows southeastward through the gate, and Guancheng is built on the right side of the river. Guancheng was built in the early Ming Dynasty. Guancheng was built in stone, one zhang high and five feet high and four feet thick. The city is 297 zhang 8 feet circumference, and there is one gate in the east and north.

There are about 2,000 defenders in Longjing Pass, and there are also many merchants in the pass, including the Horse Market, which is open to trade and belongs to the Han and Mongolian residential areas.

Salt and tea bricks are all scarce supplies outside the pass, and most of them can be sold here at a good price. Soldiers have worked hard to guard the pass, but are exploited and deducted by their superiors, and they are also empty. The combat effectiveness can be imagined. If the border defense at the pass is like this, let alone the country. This is not something that the eunuch party can only ruin the country. It has a lot to do with the rulers of the Ming Dynasty and the emperors of all dynasties sitting on the dragon throne.

After selling a lot of private salt and tea bricks and giving the Guanguan Governor a lot of benefits, Zhu Yinglong and others successfully obtained the certificate of departure, but they could not be released during the day. It was said that the news was tight recently, and there were many people in their group, and the target was too obvious, so when it was late at night, they quietly released them out of retreat.

Zhu Yinglong felt something was wrong when he heard this. With the certificate of departure, why did he have to wait until the evening before he was released?

Xiong Tingbi seemed to have known that he was in trouble, so he sat aside and silently said nothing, as if he was thinking of a solution.

Shen Xi saw Zhu Yinglong's face look ugly, and Xiong Tingbi sat aside without saying anything, and understood what was going on. He cursed the general who had collected a lot of money in his heart. What kind of world is this! He obviously collected the money and obtained the certificate of departure, but he refused to let him go. He didn't think that he was too fat and wanted to swallow it all, but he couldn't do it too obvious. If he scared the past merchants away, he would have no money in the future. So he used this trick to stabilize himself and wait for him to come out of the night and secretly sent someone to clean up himself. Isn't this all his own subsidy? Moreover, they are private salt dealers, and if they catch it, they will be a death sentence. What can't be done to him in the future? These are the common tricks used by these border guards. Why didn't he see it at that time? He agreed in a daze!

Lu Haotian, who was out for information, came back at this time. The news he brought confirmed the speculation of Zhu Yinglong and others. They were being monitored and their people were already on the chopping board!

Zhu Yinglong looked cold and the time to test him has come. Whether he can take everyone out of this Longjing Pass is not only related to his own safety, but also to prove whether he is a qualified master. If he does not have the ability to lead everyone out of this small Longjing Pass, then how can he be qualified to let his subordinates follow him and support him?

No matter how much money you give, it is useless, because as long as they solve the problem of themselves and others, everything they have, and they have this plan. It is impossible to use money to buy peace.

Zhu Yinglong thought about it and asked Lu Haotian to send an order in a low voice, asking everyone to ignore anything around him. When he found someone surveillance, he would pretend not to see it.

Lu Haotian left the order, and at this time Xiong Tingbi spoke: "Prince, I feel it is inappropriate to pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yinglong knew that he did not deliberately express his opinion after he ordered. He did not stop Zhu Yinglong from giving this order, and even he did not come up with a better plan. If he said it just now, it would make Zhu Yinglong hesitate, so he waited until Zhu Yinglong gave the order.

"Selling private salt is to live a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife. If you don't have any alertness at all, wouldn't it be suspicious? So if we deliberately pretend not to know, it would be inappropriate." Xiong Tingbi explained.

"General Xiong's concerns make sense, but this General Guard must also know this. He also sent someone to monitor us. Wouldn't this reveal his intention? Will he do such a stupid thing?" Zhu Yinglong retorted.

"Does the prince understand this general guarding the gate?" Xiong Tingbi asked back.

Zhu Yinglong shook his head and said, "I heard from Chen Xi that this person is just a bag of wine, so I am lazy to understand!"

"Prince, do you think the court will give such an important pass to a wine bag?" Xiong Tingbi pointed out Zhu Yinglong and said.

"General Xiong means that he might have sent someone to monitor us on purpose?" Zhu Yinglong suddenly woke up and said.

"The prince is really smart, just a little bit!" Xiong Tingbi praised, "But this is just my guess. Xue Cong, the general of Longjing Pass, was once a thousand general under my subordinate. Later, someone reported that he was greedy for military pay, so he was dismissed from his post and investigated him. Later, I was falsely accused and imprisoned, and the matter might have been left alone. However, he did not expect that in just a few years, he actually regained his post and became a general. I really didn't expect!"

"So it's still an old friend!" Zhu Yinglong said.

"Although this person is greedy and loves money, he has two tricks in war and is good at guessing other people's thoughts. Unfortunately, his moral character is too bad. Otherwise, it would be a pity..." Xiong Tingbi said this only and sighed.

"This person is a talent!" Zhu Yinglong slapped his thigh and sighed.

"Why did the prince say that?" Xiong Tingbi looked at Zhu Yinglong in surprise and asked.

Zhu Yinglong smiled and said, "If this person is sent to Nurhaci, wouldn't this king know what he is thinking at any time?"

Xiong Tingbi was stunned. His mind was not as fast as Zhu Yinglong's turn. He didn't understand what it meant. He looked at him with a question. How could he know what he was thinking if he sent someone to Nurhaci?

Zhu Yinglong smiled strangely and said, "Did General Xiong forget Qin Hui, the prime minister of our Southern Song Dynasty?"

"Oh, the prince's mind is really fast, but this person may not be able to be subdued!" Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but praise Zhu Yinglong. He was still on the chopping board, and he actually thought about how to let others do things for him in the future. He was so calm and so old that he would not be admired by him.

"Prince, Dad, what happened to you? You are so happy to laugh, so tell me to Li Niang?" Xiong Hu ran over and said to the two of you happily.

"Are you happy things? But there are many unlucky things. To keep your energy healthy, there may be a fierce battle tonight!" Zhu Yinglong took the speech and said.

"I know, Battalion Commander Lu just passed that order, and I guessed that someone wanted to attack us tonight!" Xiong Hu looked at Zhu Yinglong proudly and said.

It was indeed a tiger father without a dog. Xiong Hu then pointed out the wrong order Zhu Yinglong just now without hesitation, saying that this would make the other party more cautious and would be unfavorable for escape tonight! Did she also guessed that it was intentional? Zhu Yinglong and Xiong Tingbi looked at each other. The conclusion they reached was reached while discussing and exchanging opinions. Xiong Hu actually saw a few words. This is too amazing, right?

"Li Niang, how did you see it?" Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but want to find the gap.

"That's very simple. I went out and learned about the situation of the generals in the guards here. I could easily find out that this person is greedy for money but very agile and good at flattering him. He squeezed out the original generals here in just two years. People like this would not do such a stupid thing to monitor us. Since he did it, there was only one purpose. He did it on purpose, because he was not afraid. Even if we knew his intention, we could not escape. We became the meat on the chopping board!" Xiong Hu analyzed very calmly.

"Zhao Li Niang, you said that, aren't we dead or not? Besides, what you found out is not necessarily the fact!" Zhu Yinglong said stubbornly. He was not worried about this. It really didn't work. They could use secret weapons. Each of them had two suture-type pistols. This was made by Xu Guangqi's nephew. His closed disciple Chen Yuting went through a lot of hardships and used the best steel. Therefore, how could he trap his dragon?

"Of course not, dad, I saw someone else in the closing today!" Xiong Hu suddenly changed the subject.

"Who?" Xiong Tingbi asked casually.
