766 Seeing the truth in adversity
Until Zhen Minghard found the farm at the foot of a hill west of Longmen Town.
When he stepped into the gate of the farm, he saw a familiar face from a distance, the former brothers of the Dark Guard, who were now down-to-earth farmers.
He was swinging a hoe in the field at this time, and his wife, who was pregnant with Rokka, came out of the farmhouse with a big belly, holding a little girl of three or four years old in one hand and a kettle in the other, walking towards him, her face full of happiness.
More than a dozen hired farmers are working in the fields, and in the farmhouse, an old man sits in the sun and basks in the sun, and an old woman washes and dries in the yard.
The farm's rice has begun to bear ears, golden and yellow, and there will be a bumper harvest this year, and the fruit trees on the hillsides around the farm are blooming and bearing fruit.
Seeing Zhen Mingku and more than a dozen people walking into the farm, this person spotted them at a glance and stopped the hoe in his hand.
Pei Xingyan looked excited, "It's Brother Liang!" ”
Zhen Mingku made a silent gesture at him and waved his hand: "Let's go." ”
After saying that, turn around and leave.
Pei Xingyan was a little stunned, but he didn't hesitate, and the group quickly turned around and left the farm.
More than a dozen people rode out about a kilometer or so, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves chased after them from behind, and someone was heard shouting from behind: "Mountain eagle soaring!" ”
Everyone turned their horses' heads and looked at the galloping Liangshuo in the distance.
"Mountain Eagle Soaring" is the interface code of the Shuofang Secret Guard, and it is generally used at night when handing over with the Turkic soldiers, using the Turkic language. While confusing the Turks, they also want to identify their teammates.
If the other party does not answer the interface code, it means that it is likely to be the enemy. Life and death can be in an instant.
"Cunning rabbit hunting!"
Pei Xingyan replied in Turkic.
Liang Shuo had already arrived, jumped off his horse, looked at the dark guards dressed as more than a dozen peasant households, and laughed, "Sure enough, it's you!" Is Zhen Ye here? ”
Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Zhen Ming took off his mask and jumped off the horse. Hugging Liang Shuo and patting each other's shoulders.
Pei Xingyan also took off his mask, jumped off his horse and walked in front of Liang Shuo. "Brother Liang!"
Liang Shuo let go of Zhen Mingku, turned around and held Pei Xingyan's shoulder: "Xiao Pei? Is that you? I almost don't recognize me when I'm so tall, hahaha......"
The other Dark Guard soldiers all joined the Dark Guard in Luoyang, and they didn't know Liang Shuo. See Zhen Mingku's and Pei Xingyan's attitude towards Liang Shuo. They all guessed that this farmer had a deep relationship with the Dark Guard, and when they saw that Liang Shuo was sturdy, his steps were steady, and he was obviously armed with martial arts, all of them gave birth to a glimmer of hope.
After catching up on the old days, Liang Shuo learned that the purpose of Zhen Mingku's trip happened that the farm had always had a fixed deal with a restaurant in Luoyang, so he didn't say a word. Not only did they have to let the farmers of the farm pretend to be farmers to infiltrate Luoyang City, but they also had to join the team of Zhen Mingku. Help out.
Zhen Mingkuang thanked him for his kindness, although Liang Shuo was a little unhappy, but Zhen Mingkuu didn't want him to finally calm down and life brought any variables, Liang Shuo had to give up, Zhen Mingkuang asked his farm where the delivery was located, Liang Shuo turned around and went back to the farm, and after a while, several farmers came over with several carriages, and the carriages were full of vegetables and grain.
A dozen Dark Guards replaced the drivers and left the farm.
……
The process of entering Luoyang City is not complicated, Wang Shichong does not seem to have deliberately strengthened the patrol, but the defenders in the city have increased more than tenfold, all of them are Wang Shichong's relatives and soldiers, the elite of the Zuo Ling Guard, there are 20,000 people in the Zuo Ling Guard alone, so that with the thick walls of Luoyang City, plus the water dragon cannons installed everywhere on the city wall, even if there are 3,000 dark guards to attack, there is no need to worry at all.
As for the other Weifu troops, they were also transferred by Wang Shichong to the nearest state and county sanitation in Luoyang.
The guards of Luoyang City only checked whether passers-by were carrying weapons, and even iron products such as firewood knives and kitchen knives and hoes were strictly restricted.
Fortunately, most of the weapons designed by Zhen Mingkuren can be disassembled and assembled, and he asked people to disassemble all the weapons into parts, cut open the winter melons produced in the farm, hollow out the flesh inside, and install homemade bombs.
For the rest of the large items such as light armor, he had a dozen large trees cut down and hollowed out in the middle, hiding weapons and armor in them.
When entering the city, entering in batches, thanks to the greed of Wang Shichong's own soldiers, as long as they stuffed enough money and silver to the guards of the city patrol, the other party would let the transport cart pass sloppily, and this kind of carriage transporting vegetables and grain into the city has always been a very good source of oil and water for them.
The truck arrived at a confectionery shop.
It was not long ago that Zhen Mingku's wedding was held, where the title deed and store deed were sent by Duan Da, three days ago, Zhen Mingku had already sent the owner of the store away with the store deed, and hung up the signboard of the restaurant, and set up an interior decoration and a sign at the door to suspend business, except for Duan Da, not many people knew that the owner of this store was him.
The transport truck stopped in the store and swaggered down the timber and vegetables from the car, and no one would find out that they were the secret guards who had infiltrated Luoyang City.
After moving all the supplies into the house, a dozen people began to reassemble.
Halfway through the assembly, the siren suddenly went off, and everyone stopped what they were doing, and their whole body was vigilant.
The alarm is a thin wire that they place around the house and at the door, whenever someone sneaks in or opens the door, the thin wire is tripped and the alarm bell in the house can be triggered.
Everyone drew the dagger from their waists and found a place to hide.
The footsteps outside the house were not as rapid and dense as expected, sparse and sparse, and there seemed to be only one person.
The footsteps stopped at the door, as if observing.
The Dark Guard was well-trained, and when the alarm sounded, they had already extinguished all the lights in the house in time.
Squeak-
The door was pushed open, and everyone was engrossed, just waiting for the other party to come in, and immediately cut the other party's throat with a thunderous force, so that the other party could not sound the alarm.
The other party did not come in, and stood outside the door, as if sensing danger.
He asked in a low voice at the door, "Brother Zhen, is it you?" ”
Zhen Ming was stunned when he heard this, this voice was too familiar.
He breathed a sigh of relief and motioned to the surroundings to disarm the alarm, otherwise once these people made a move, all the hidden weapons and flashbangs and the like would be greeted together, and a few more people would attack in close quarters, even if the other party was powerful, it would be difficult to escape death.
He appeared in the darkness, and the other party was overjoyed: "I knew you would sneak into the city." ”
Zhen Mingku, who was a little depressed, thought that his whereabouts this time were secretive and well-planned, coupled with the small number of people, he was cautious, it was impossible for anyone to guess that they would hide here.
He smiled a little unnaturally and asked, "Pillar, how did you know I was here?" ”
The person who came was none other than Cheng Yanjin, who had known him for many years.
Although Cheng Yanjin has made it clear that he wants to join the Dark Guard, after all, he has been betrayed by Cheng Yanjin once, and it is related to Zhang's life, Zhen Mingku does not dare to trust anyone easily.
Seeing that he had been staying in the house all the time, Cheng Yanjin kept a distance from him, understood something, and looked at both sides of the door: "Is there anyone behind the door?" ”
Zhen Ming nodded bitterly.
He was very self-aware, and raised his hands above his head: "Brother Zhen, please rest assured, I am alone, I don't have a weapon, and no one is following." ”
Zhen Mingku hesitated for a moment, then gestured to the people around him, asking them to disarm and light the lights in the room.
Cheng Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief, he had been in the army for many years, and he had never once made him feel that death was approaching like just now.
He walked into the room and looked around, and a dozen young Dark Guard soldiers with cold faces stared at him vigilantly, making him soberly aware that if he made any move, he could riot and kill him at any time.
He saw the room with enough weapons to equip an elite squad, many of them new and exotic weapons he had never seen before.
Zhen Ming beckoned him to sit down, without extra politeness, and directly asked him the question he was most concerned about, only then did he know that after Wang Shichong ascended the throne and became the emperor, in order to show his ambition to make great efforts, he promoted many generals in the army and won over the hearts of the army.
The two had no intention of serving Wang Shichong, and they had nothing to do except training, and they wanted to wait for one day to be transferred to the Secret Guard, but they didn't think that Zhen Mingku and the Emperor Taizhu would fall so quickly.
After Zhen Mingku's accident, Cheng Yanjin knew that Zhen Mingku would definitely sneak into Luoyang, Zhang's was Zhen Mingku's life, even if Luoyang was now a tiger's den in Longtan, it couldn't stop him from going deep into the tiger's den.
Cheng Yanjin has known him for six or seven years, and knows Zhen Mingku's better than many people, when Zhang's Sweetheart Workshop opened, he also made glass windows for Sweetheart Workshop, and he asked people to monitor all the places where Zhen Mingku's may appear, and sure enough, he found out a few days ago that the owner of this shop had changed people, and it was temporarily changed to a restaurant, and he heard that the spies reported that there were several farmer wagons that put a batch of materials into the store today, and the carriage left, but the people stayed in the store, and he felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but come to check it in person.
"Brother Zhen, what can I do to help, just say it."
Zhen Mingku didn't want others to get involved, after all, even he wasn't very sure about this matter, but if someone like Cheng Yanjin provided information within Wang Shichong, the success rate of the rescue would be greatly improved.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I want to know where Goose Goose is being held." ”
Cheng Yanjin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm just a Sima of the Right Ling Guard, and I can't know the secrets, but if I want to know where Boss Zhang is being held, I have a way to try, but I need another person's help." ”
"Who?"
"Uncle Bao." (To be continued......)
