Chapter 1000: Zhang Jiaquan who was pitted
The team of soldiers was only a dozen, and they were wearing uniform light armor. They were patrolling around the military camp. Then they dismounted, tied the reins to several big trees, and quietly escaped into the mountains and forests.
Seeing this, even if there are still surveillance nearby, they will definitely think that this is a scout team, responsible for checking the surrounding movements and warning the military camp in advance.
Only one person followed slowly, and it was Wu Guanting.
After following a short distance, Wu Guanting saw something wrong.
This scout team was too strange and had no intention of dispersing. Although everyone was also alert to the surroundings, it was not like a routine patrol, but more like preventing anyone from discovering them.
Especially the few people who were behind the rear were not as good as those in the army, but rather like martial artists in the martial arts world. Judging from the eyes of Wu Guanting, the few people were clearly top-notch masters.
They were separated by a distance from each other, but they could clearly see the movements of the neighbors. The total length of the head and tail ends reached hundreds of meters. In this way, even the masters would not want to sneak past them and keep up with the people in the front.
If it were the former Wu Guanting, it would inevitably be difficult. Unfortunately, now he has a shocking skill. Few people in the world can match it. Using the protection of the surrounding environment, he quickly crossed the cordon.
Wu Guanting's eyes fell on a middle-aged man at the front. Although the other party was wearing soldier armor, his every move, including his position, showed his unique identity.
The scout team cannot have such a strict level, and it is even more impossible for a group of masters to break the back, and the answer is about to come out.
As a middle-aged man, why did he still set up a suspicion array when he left the military camp and was so careful to conceal his identity? It was obviously a very important secret thing to do.
What can be done at this critical moment?
Restraining his gradual heartbeat, Wu Guanting was like a weightless ghost, always hanging behind him, neither making a sound nor making a move, and was ready to take a long line to catch a big fish.
The other party was so cautious that he kept running towards the deep mountains and ridges, and from time to time, he went around in circles and turned back and forth. And every time, the few people who were broken would change their formations to prevent them from being followed from another direction.
Even Wu Guanting has to admit that if he had not made great progress in his martial arts, he would have been discovered under such a formation of 80%.
However, everything is too much, and the scout members do not know that it was because they frequently detoured the road and encountered two spies hiding in the mountains.
The two spies were arranged to go to the deep mountains and forests to search for the entire Zhang family. After discovering the team, they did not speak out and immediately followed.
They came from the Eastern Family and were well versed in the art of lurking. The members of the scout team could not find it.
But unfortunately, he was discovered by Wu Guanting. He knew that the secrets here could not be revealed to others, and it was related to Zhuo Mufeng's plan. If other forces intervened, it would be possible that there would be trouble.
So Wu Guanting moved to the rear secretly and secretly dealt with the two of them. After doing all this, Wu Guanting sneaked back.
Perhaps it felt like it was almost done. The middle-aged man at the front waved his hand, and a man on the left picked up a compass, and the group rushed in a certain direction at full speed.
Later, when they passed a secret mountain road, passed the water road, and then floated from the water surface, they had already arrived in Hengyang City. Those who didn't know all this would never have thought of it.
After getting ashore, the group of people used their skills to evaporate the water from their bodies and rushed into the forest not far away. Wu Guanting noticed that this dense forest was on one side of the Hengyang city wall, only a few dozen meters away.
After entering the dense forest, the group of people finally stopped and protected the middle-aged man separately. The latter looked excited and anxious, and frequently looked up at the city wall not far away, not knowing what he was waiting for.
The moon is in the sky, and there is a quietness in the miserable night. The branches and leaves are swaying in the wind, and occasionally the lights of the houses in the distance are flashing slightly.
I don't know how long it took, a team of soldiers who had changed defense came down from the city tower. One of them drew a few strokes to the ground with the spear in his hand.
The middle-aged man in the dense forest changed his expression and made a gesture, leading the surrounding guards quickly forward. With the cover of darkness, he quickly mingled into the end of the soldiers going downstairs.
Another team of soldiers came in the distance. The middle-aged man followed suit and followed again. Many soldiers ignored him and just looked ahead.
Finally, the middle-aged man walked up to the city wall and looked around. He soon saw a tall man. The other party was also wearing ordinary military uniforms, but the majesty and sharpness between his eyebrows were far beyond what ordinary soldiers could possess.
The middle-aged man pushed away the crowd, stepped forward quickly, bowed and shouted, "Mr. Cui Xinzhi, have you seen him!"
Cui Xinzhi, the marching record in Hengyang City, is also one of Zhang Jiaquan's closest confidants.
Needless to say, the tall middle-aged man opposite was naturally Zhang Jiaquan who had just arrived in Hengyang City.
Zhang Jiaquan's face changed, his eyes were filled with anger, and he lowered his voice and shouted, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to ask your confidant to answer me? Do you know how many people are staring at you now? What if someone finds me with you, how to end?"
There were several guards standing behind the Zhang family, each staring at Cui Xinzhi coldly with strong murderous intent.
Cui Xinzhi trembled and hurriedly explained, "Super your anger, Mo Jiang will never implicate him. He has already made careful arrangements. The nearby area is an important place, and ordinary people cannot get close to him, Mo Jiang has even taken many long roads..."
He told the situation today. A guard behind the Zhang family suddenly pointed at Cui Xinzhi and said angrily, "Bastard, you scramble into the team from the dense forest and walk onto the city wall. What if you are discovered by a spy from a distance? Why not send a large army to guard?"
Cui Xinzhi looked strange and replied, "If this brother, if he sent a large army, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver here? The Hengyang city wall stretches for 1,000 meters, and no one can get close to it in the vicinity of 50 meters. The terrain is even more unfavorable for hiding, and there is no spy who can discover the situation."
The man was choked a little hard and had to glar at Cui Xinzhi.
The Zhang family waved their hands, although they were still angry, but now that things have come to this, they don’t have to say much.
Cui Xinzhi has always been loyal and regards himself as his elder brother. He should have thought that this person would come to meet him long ago. Moreover, the series of arrangements along the way can be regarded as exquisite, and no one should be able to follow him.
After suppressing his anger, Zhang Jiaquan urged, "Stop talking nonsense, cover me out of the city immediately!"
Cui Xinzhi was worried and said, "Sir, there are Qingbo and Baojin two heavy cities in front of you. I heard that at the city gate, soldiers are holding portraits every day to check passers-by. If you want to get in and slip away quietly, you may not succeed!"
Zhang Jiaquan "I don't have to worry about you, I have my own opinions."
Cui Xinzhi obviously has his own idea, "Sir, safety is the most important thing, don't take risks! Once Yuanchen and Zhang Dingkang discover your traces, he will definitely kill him. It's better to..."
"Shut up!" The Zhang family's forehead was full of blue veins, interrupting Cui Xinzhi's chatter, gritted their teeth and shouted in a low voice, "Does my words work? I asked you to cover me out of the city immediately! If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill your dog's head immediately!"
No one can describe Zhang Jiaquan's anger at this moment. He was completely gambled on his life this way south, and he was almost racing against time to travel, so that he only had less than an hour of rest every day. He knew very well that once his traces were discovered, all his efforts and ideals would be wiped out, and he would not be careless!
The result was that in this situation, one of his most trusted confidants, who secretly came to meet him regardless of his orders, and now he was self-righteously preventing him from leaving the city.
If it weren't for the fact that Cui Xinzhi had to be relied on the next step, the Zhang family really wanted to cut the other party with one knife!
After being stared at by the adults, Cui Xinzhi shrugged his throat. Thinking of his past skills, he finally didn't dare to say more. He nodded like a pound of garlic. "Stop being angry, let's arrange for you to leave the city."
A group of soldiers went down the city tower, obviously the defense replacement personnel from another section of the city wall. Wu Guanting, who was hiding in the dense forest, looked like a torch, ignoring the night. After some searching, his pupils suddenly shrank violently.
He noticed one of them, with his head lowered and his armor cap pressed down very low, but the vague facial contour, figure, and aura could not hide the stunning Wu Guanting, who is now shocking.
Zhang Jiaquan!
He took a breath and when the team of soldiers disappeared from the corner of the wall not far away, Wu Guanting's body rushed out of the bushes, and his momentum was like lightning, and he disappeared into the dark night sky, without even a leaf shaking.
Those guards who were led by Cui Xinzhi and hiding in the dense forest for supervision were not discovered from beginning to end.
The soldiers responsible for guarding the city walls had their own places to live in groups. After entering the continuous rough houses, Zhang family members separated from the large team and turned a few small doors. Someone protected them from time to time.
After arriving at a remote courtyard, it was confirmed that no one was surveillance. Zhang's family jumped into the dry well one after another. There was a mechanism in the well that could be pressed, and a passage led to a small family in the city.
The stream in the backyard of this family has a unique cave, connecting several living waters in Hengyang City and directly leading to the outside of the city.
I'm afraid no one knows that Zhang Jiaquan had already determined the way to the south a few years ago. The mechanisms along the way were designed little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little after he conquered Hengyang City. After he captured Hengyang City, the progress suddenly accelerated and was just completed not long ago.
But Zhang Jiaquan didn't know that because Cui Xinzhi's will, he indeed leaked his traces, causing him the biggest trouble.
A figure quietly lurked behind Zhang Jiaquan and his group, and followed them out of the city along the river.
"My master is a brilliant plan. Now the plan has been completed by nine points. You only need to arrive in Qingbo City and meet with Yuanchen to escape easily. Hahaha, it's ridiculous that people in the world think that Master is at the end of their journey. I really want to see the faces of those people afterwards!"
A guard snatched in the mountains and forests while laughing, and the others also chuckled.
Zhang Jiaquan was also excited. His escape was far faster than the reactions of all parties, which was enough to catch the intelligence organizations of all parties off guard.
I am afraid that now, most people still think that he will be on the road at most and will also arrange a large number of spies there. Naturally, there are fewer people assigned to Hengyang City, which also saves him a lot of trouble to reach the last level.
However, in accordance with the principle of caution, Zhang Jiaquan still scolded, "Until the last moment, you must not relax and careless! Have you forgotten my warning? Who dares to try it out randomly?"
Chapter completed!
