Chapter 1278: Luring the Enemy into the City
Under Bai Jiang's explanation, Hefeng finally threw away the last trace of worry in his heart, and after bidding farewell to Bai Jiang, he began to prepare for the entry of 10,000 sect members into the city in three days.
And for the sake of prudence, Bai Jiang also went to the Jin Mansion again to meet Jin Xiongfeng and asked him about his arrangements to ensure that the plan could be carried out smoothly before leaving.
Jin Xiongfeng sat alone in the study, restless. Bai Jiang gave him a great threat, although Mao Wenlong said that after the matter was completed, he would send secret guards to protect the hundreds of people in the Jin family. But the strength of the Sun and Moon Sect is here, and only a few hundred people secretly want to protect the Jin family, and Jin Xiongfeng really has no bottom in his heart.
But now if he doesn't obediently obey Mao Wenlong's arrangement, what awaits him is the consequences of raiding his family and exterminating the clan. Jin Xiongfeng has no way out, he can only go all the way to the dark, and the only choice is to believe in Mao Wenlong and believe in the dark guard.
Adou had already secretly mobilized 20,000 secret guards to ambush in the city, and now he was only waiting for the Sun Moon Sect members to arrive, and then he could round them up. Jin Xiongfeng was apprehensive, but he had to do it hard.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is no difference between the prosperity and the usual in Nanjing. The gate of the Jin Mansion opened early, and a carriage quietly stopped at the gate, Jin Xiongfeng hurried out of the mansion, got into the carriage and drove away.
The East City Gate is the busiest city gate, because the East City has set up a market, there are mostly merchants, peddlers and pawns, carts and horses, and goods, and there is a lot of traffic. At the same time, there were many guards in the eastern city, and there was a long queue at the city gate early waiting to enter the city.
Jin Xiongfeng's carriage left directly from the East City Gate, and the coachman just showed the waist card of the Jin Mansion, and passed directly without even searching. The carriage out of the city sped at once, and soon moved away from the caravan lined up to enter the city.
Jin Xiongfeng looked out from the curtain of the car from time to time, as if he was looking for something? Soon after, he saw a caravan of more than a thousand people coming in front of him laden with goods. The golden banner planted in the carriage of the caravan fluttered in the wind, which was very conspicuous, and after Jin Xiongfeng saw it, his face finally showed joy, and then he told the coachman to slow down and slowly approach the caravan.
When a strong man saw the arrival of the carriage of the Golden Mansion, he immediately broke away from the caravan and went up alone. This person is Hefeng, the hall master of the Nanjing branch altar.
Seeing Hefeng's arrival, Jin Xiongfeng didn't dare to slack off, and immediately lifted the curtain to invite him into the carriage. Hefeng was not polite, and dodged in.
"Lord Jin, have you made any arrangements for entering the city?" Hefeng opened his mouth and asked.
"Lord Hetang, please rest assured, the old man is personally in charge, and there is no problem." Jin Xiongfeng's unequivocal guarantee.
Although Hefeng still hesitated in his heart, the matter has come to this point, and there is no turning back. He stared at Jin Xiongfeng for a long time, and after making sure that he didn't have any deception, he nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, then Lord Lao Jin will lead the way." ”
Jin Xiong said yes, and then Hefeng got out of the carriage and returned to the caravan's convoy. And Jin Xiongfeng's carriage immediately turned around and headed in the direction of the city gate.
There was still a long queue at the East Gate, and since the merchants who came in and out carried a lot of goods, every carriage had to be carefully checked to make sure it was correct before it could pass through. Intensive searches led to a lot of time delays, and there were long queues at the city gates.
Jin Xiongfeng's carriage arrived, and there was still no obstacle, but this time Jin Xiongfeng did not leave in the dust, and the carriage stopped at the city gate. Jin Xiongfeng asked the soldiers to call the general who was guarding the city, and a middle-aged man about thirty years old dressed in armor soon arrived.
"What does Jin Shangshu command?" The generals defending the city bowed to Jin Xiongfeng.
"General Lai, there is a convoy of my Jin family coming behind, I hope you can make it convenient and clean up the city gate first. So that the convoy of the old man's house can pass first! Jin Xiongfeng said with a smile.
Lai Bin frowned immediately when he heard this, he has been guarding the city gate for three years, and the Dongjiang Army has always been disciplined. Any minister of the DPRK and China must act in accordance with the rules if they want to enter and exit, and Jin Xiongfeng is not the first time to go out of the city, as if he knows the rules, but he said such a thing?
Lai Bin looked embarrassed, and said, "Lord Jin, this rule cannot be broken by the officials." ”
Jin Xiongfeng was directly rejected but he was not angry at all, I saw him reach out and take out a token from his arms and hand it to Lai Bin. Lai Bin glanced at it in a daze, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he was about to exclaim when he opened his mouth.
Jin Xiongfeng put a finger to his mouth, signaling him not to alarm others, and then continued: "General Lai won't be embarrassed now, right?" ”
Lai Bin's expression was much more respectful, and he said with a straight face: "Wrap it on the lower official's body, please wait for a while." ”
After speaking, Lai Bin immediately said goodbye and left, and after a while, the caravan waiting in a long line to leave the city was immediately cleared. Make room for a passage into the city.
Jin Xiongfeng reluctantly took back the token, and that token was owned by the Dark Guard, and it was also given to Jin Xiongfeng by Adou for temporary use. With this token, you can go there unimpeded, which shows how high the status of the dark guard is in the Ming Dynasty.
This is the first time Jin Xiongfeng has used this token, he didn't expect the effect to be so good, he really wanted to take this token for himself. It's a pity that this token is only for him to use temporarily, and he must return it to Adou afterwards.
After the passage was cleared, the convoy with the golden banner also arrived, and under the leadership of Jin Xiongfeng's carriage, the convoy could enter the city without any checks.
At first, Hefeng and the others were still very nervous, but after passing safely, their impression of the Jin brothers immediately changed. No longer looks down on him, as the hall master of the Nanjing Branch, he has a deep understanding of how tightly the city gate is guarded. Now, Jin Xiongfeng can let the team enter so easily, and sure enough, he still has some strength in the DPRK.
After Jin Xiongfeng led the caravan and more than 1,000 people into the city, he headed towards the warehouse built by the Jin Mansion in the city. There is only one street between the warehouse and the Jin Mansion, and when the convoy stopped at the gate of the warehouse, Jin Xiongfeng said to Hefeng: "Master Hetang, you will settle down here first." ”
Hefeng was very vigilant all the way, and after his observation, he didn't find anything wrong along the way. But he hadn't found out what was inside the warehouse. After a pause, Hefeng gave his henchmen a look, and then asked a few of them to enter the warehouse to find out.
"There is a book of Lao Jinshang!" Hefeng thanked him with a smile.
"The master of the Crane Hall is polite, these are all things that the old man should do, and the master of the Crane Hall does not need to be polite." Jin Xiongfeng replied with a sincere smile and politely hugged his fist in return!
