After two hours of fierce fighting, all the important places in Neiding City were occupied by the Jingyue army, and Luo Yue's soldiers died to death, surrendered, and the whole line was defeated.

Wang Baoyu and Mo Qianxun swaggered into Nei'an City, Ke Luo followed him to guard, this time Wang Baoyu did not let Ke Luo participate, mainly because he was afraid that he would show mercy to Hu Taichuan's men.

The streets of Neiding City are narrow, only two horse-drawn carriages can be accommodated, and there are many wooden two-story buildings, which are very compact apart, which shows that the population density in the city is relatively large.

The soldiers in front hurriedly moved the corpses from the street, and only then did a passage be opened, and there were no people on the street, and it seemed that they were all hiding in the houses.

Wang Baoyu came to the official residence of Neiding City, which is a small three-story building with walls, painted white on the outside, without decorative patterns, and looks very simple.

Walking into the house, the hall was quite spacious, with a few rattan chairs and a few wooden tables scattered on the stone floor, Wang Baoyu sat down on a chair, and the guards handed over fragrant tea.

After drinking a cup of tea, Wang Baoyu calmed down, and then ordered someone to call Qian Mo to come in to inquire about the battle situation. Qian Mo reported that there were only 10,000 soldiers in the city, basically all of them were Luo Yue's local people, half of them were dead, and half of them surrendered.

Mo Qianxun, who was drinking tea on the side, frowned, obviously knowing that there were 30,000 soldiers and horses, but now there are only 10,000 left, there must be something wrong with it.

"Old Qian, did Hu Taichuan catch it?" Wang Baoyu also felt that something was wrong, and asked hurriedly.

"It has been captured, and Princess Yun is escorting it here." Qian Mo replied.

"Have you ever seen the traces of those 20,000 soldiers and horses?" Wang Baoyu asked again.

"There is no trace of Neiding City, and no one among the people knows where it is going." Qian Mo was even more puzzled by the second monk, in such a large place, 20,000 soldiers and horses were so dazzling, and they evaporated out of thin air.

After a while, Ma Yunlu pushed a person in, this person was very short, slightly fat, with a small flat head, small eyes, a few messy beards, and a normal appearance.

"Get on your knees!" Ma Yunlu kicked this person's buttocks, but this person stiffened his neck and refused to kneel, as if he didn't hear it, grinning at Ma Yunlu and muttering, but no one understood what he said.

"This person is Hu Taichuan?" Wang Baoyu asked in disbelief.

Ma Yunlu handed over a package of things and said, "It was from this person that these objects were found. ”

Wang Baoyu opened it and saw that it was the official seal of Nei'an City and the big seal of King Yelang, such an important thing should be held by Hu Taichuan.

"Hu Taichuan, you are conspiring to go bankrupt, what do you have to say when you see me?" Wang Baoyu asked coldly.

This person didn't seem to hear it, babbling, gesturing, as if he was pretending to be deaf and dumb, Ma Yunlu couldn't help but kick him again, and scolded: "If you don't talk well, I'll kill you immediately." ”

This person is doing his own thing, and it is another comparison, his eyes are so anxious that his eyes are round, and the corners of his forehead are sweating, which really doesn't look like he is pretending. Mo Qianxun watched for a while and said, "Baoyu, I have never heard that Hu Taichuan is deaf and dumb and disabled, and there may be another reason for this. ”

"Let Chloe in." Wang Baoyu shouted.

Ke Luo quickly ran in, and when he saw the person in the room, he instinctively arched his hand and said, "My subordinates have seen Lord Taishou." ”

This made everyone in the room stunned, this person is Hu Taichuan, a deaf and dumb person dares to call the king, this is too unbelievable! Wang Baoyu stared at this person again, but he really couldn't see where he could show his resourcefulness, no matter how he looked at it, he was a deaf and mute person.

"Taishou, why don't you speak?" Chloe asked in a daze, but the man was tired, sitting on the ground and patting his thighs and crying.

Ke Luo was a little stunned, he had never seen Taishou crying, and said in a daze: "Taishou, you are also afraid of the king, right?" Then take refuge in the king, and he will be kind to you. Hey, why are you still crying? ”

"Ke Luo, take a good look, is he really Hu Taichuan?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"That's true!" Ke Luo touched his head, hesitated, and circled around this person several times, and then kicked this person, and said with a smile: "Back to the king, Ke Luo is wrong, this person is not Hu Taichuan, but he looks extremely similar, which is really unusual." ”

"This person is carrying important items with him, how can you be sure that he is not?" Ma Yunlu asked worriedly.

"Hehe, I once heard Taishou say that when he was a child, his left ear was bitten by a mouse, leaving a scar, this person does not have this scar, he must be an impostor." Chloe was convinced.

"There is no need to ask again, Hu Taichuan must have used the golden cicada's method of shelling, and he has already escaped first." Mo Qianxun waved his hand.

"Check quickly to see if there are any hidden passages in the city." Wang Baoyu nodded.

"No one in the city knows where the 20,000 soldiers and horses are, so they should flee through the secret passage." Mo Qianxun expressed support for Wang Baoyu's views.

"Hey, where did Hu Taichuan go after he handed these over to you?" Ma Yunlu asked unwillingly, and pointed to the person's face, meaning that this princess asked about the person who looked similar to you.

The man seemed to understand, grinned, and quickly stood up and pointed to the north. Ma Yunlu was confused, the north was the sea, could it be that Hu Taichuan ran away by boat?

Unexpectedly, the man waved his hand again, pointed to the guide with a smile, and then pointed to the air, Ma Yunlu sighed, this person is not only deaf and mute, it seems that there is still a problem with IQ, and he can't ask anything at all.

Wang Baoyu couldn't do anything to him, so he could only order him to be released, and before leaving, he was still worried about his package, and he just refused to leave.

Ma Yunlu had no choice but to take out the big seal inside, and then put some dry food, which sent him away.

The cause and effect of the matter have become clear and clear, Hu Taichuan knew that he was invincible to Wang Baoyu, so he first set up a plan to lure Wang Baoyu into the city to attack and kill, and then found a disabled person who looked like himself, pretending to be himself, and he himself left first, regardless of whether the plan was successful or not, he could get out of the way.

The Luo Yue soldiers who surrendered through Guò asked the people in the city to continue to investigate, and there was indeed a secret passage in the city, which led directly to a mountain col outside the west gate.

Wang Baoyu was secretly frightened, in the end, Hu Taichuan was still not resourceful enough, if he used this secret passage to carry out a sneak attack, it would make the army unable to defend against it.

Luo Yue's people needed to be seriously pacified, and the officials in the city fled with them, and local management became a thorny problem.

Fortunately, Nei An City was once under the management of South Vietnam, and language communication was not too much of an obstacle, so Mo Qianxun hurriedly sent some officials from Hepu to take over the affairs of Nei An City.

The occupation of Nei'an City is equivalent to seizing half of Luo Yue's territory, but the situation of the subsequent war is not too optimistic, Luo Yue's southern part is the place where Hongpang has been operating for many years, and it is also the place where his troops are more concentrated.
