After the immortal disappeared

"What's going on?" He Lingchuan asked while placing a barrier to prevent the sound from leaking out. "You didn't reveal your flaws, did you?"

Wan Qifeng still lowered his voice subconsciously: "Our men, dressed in black and covering their faces, stole the goods of five caravans in the inn. General Chongwu's truck was parked in the best position, but there were four or five guards standing beside the truck. Wang Fubao only took away two boxes."

"That's not bad." General Chongwu's men were all regular troops. He Lingchuan had seen them fighting in Jingshan Mountain. In terms of military appearance, military discipline and combat effectiveness, they were better than the Allies and the Bixia people. Wang Fubao was able to snatch the cargo box from them, which was probably due to some trick.

"General Chongwu chased him out personally." He Lingchuan said softly, "Has Wang Fubao's retreat been arranged?"

"Yes. Mr. Dong should have picked him up by now." Wan Qifeng suddenly smiled, "We are very lucky. There were actually two thieves in the inn who stole some property from the guests. The inn There was so much noise inside that they were scared away, so A Liang followed them to their hiding place."

He Lingchuan raised his hand and said, "Well done! We will put General Chongwu's treasure box and the belongings of those caravans in there later."

The Black Armored Army seems to be elusive in this continent, coming and going like the wind, but in fact, unexpected events are inevitable in every mission. Over the past few months, the black-armored knights have learned to adapt to changing circumstances and are accustomed to assessing the situation——

This is the warrior He Lingchuan wants. Those who couldn't learn it were all sent back to Yangshan Islands.

This time Wan Qiliang used his plan to gain more initiative for He Lingchuan.

"Where's Xue Zongwu?" So many things happened tonight, all for this goal.

"He will arrive at Mangzhou before sunset." Wan Qifeng also knew that time was tight, "Lord, you have to hurry up."

"The weather today -" He Lingchuan listened to the sound of wind and rain outside the window, "- the weather is beautiful."

But something went wrong next, and Dong Rui didn't return.

His mission is to drive Snail Toad to meet Wang Fubao, avoid the eyes and ears of General Chongwu, and return safely.

Because General Chongwu arrived suddenly tonight, He Lingchuan had to temporarily plan this "trouble with the tiger away from the mountain". Time was tight and the task was heavy. What he was most afraid of was being caught alive by General Chongwu.

Time passed little by little.

There was only an hour and a half left before Xue Zongwu arrived at Mangzhou.

If we don't get started, we'll be too late.

Even Wan Qifeng was worried and whispered: "Should we send a flying message to Mangzhou and let the brothers try to slow down Xue Zongwu?"

"No." He Lingchuan immediately rejected the proposal, "This will not only expose our attack intentions, but also cause casualties. Intercepting Xue Zongwu is no joke!"

If Dong Rui can't come back, no matter how unwilling he is, tonight's plan can only be cancelled.

More than a quarter of an hour later, it was dark outside the house, and there seemed to be only the sound of rain between the sky and the earth.

General Chongwu has not returned yet. Under the surveillance of Yang Shanren, General Chongwu never sent anyone back to the inn. That means that the person who stole the tribute gift has not been caught by him, otherwise he would send people back to keep an eye on He Lingchuan.

He Lingchuan sighed secretly, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Tonight..."

The words "action postponed" are really heavy. But He Lingchuan knew in his heart that no matter how good the plan was, if there were mistakes from the beginning, it would be best to stop in time.

Fortunately, before he could say anything, two birdsong suddenly came from outside the window.

Xiujiu——Xiujiu——

It didn't sound out of place amidst the pounding rain. There were already waterbirds wandering outside.

He Lingchuan let out a long sigh of relief, and his heart finally returned to its original position.

Dong Rui is back!

So he temporarily changed his words: "...the operation begins!"

Another thunder flashed across the sky, and the window of He Lingchuan's guest room also opened at the same time.

He specially selected a guest room on the first floor for easy access.

Dong Rui was already waiting for him under the window, with Wang Fubao and several Black Armored Army soldiers beside him, his head and face covered with water.

"Everyone is back?"

Wang Fubao reported: "They are all back."

"Go back to the inn." There were always people coming and going in the inn tonight despite the rain. If they walked in covered with water, they wouldn't attract any special attention.

He Lingchuan turned to urge Dong Bo: "Hurry up!"

They are already late.

The reeds in front of the river bend were swaying in the wind and rain. Under the double cover of dark night and wind and rain, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui drove Snail Toad and quietly escaped to Mangzhou.

The highlight of tonight is just about to begin.

Sitting in the snail toad's shell, Dong Rui just had time to change into dry clothes. He Lingchuan asked him: "Why did it take so long?"

"How long?" Dong Rui glared, "That boy Chongwu has a lot of evil intentions. It's not easy to support Wang Fubao!"

It turns out that in the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the "tiger" was taken away, but it was not easy for Wang Fubao, who had snatched the tribute gift, to escape from the tiger's mouth. General Chongwu was very good at tracking enemies. He Lingchuan and the three-tailed fox demon had already experienced this in Baijianshan. This time, Wang Fubao was driven around by him and almost got caught several times.

The chase and escape distance was too close. Dong Rui wanted to meet Wang Fubao, but could not find a suitable place.

The most troublesome thing is that the direction of Wang Fubao's escape cannot be too far away from the lair of the framed thief.

"What's the end?"

"You're lucky, I found a cave." Dong Rui yawned, "It's windy and rainy tonight. Chongwu wandered around outside all night and couldn't think of looking for you again."

"I hope so." The further we go toward Mangzhou, the better the weather will be. "Can we get to Mangzhou in time?"

"Last time I went, I wasn't familiar with the road, so I spent a long time groping; this time, I can at least go half an hour faster." This is why it is necessary to step on the plate beforehand, "By the way, is there anything to eat?"

Dong Rui reached out to He Lingchuan. He was running back and forth outside, but this guy was hiding in the box eating and drinking.

He Lingchuan threw him a pack of wine-flavored meat jerky, swallowed a hangover pill himself, and secretly used his strength to walk away for a week.

With the war approaching, he needed to keep his mind clear and energetic.

…

When Xue Zongwu arrived at Mangzhou, it was almost dark.

Under the dim light, the dark red city gate is still impressive. It is more than three feet high and is carved with a huge animal head, which looks like a lion's head but has a curly mane and horns on its head.

Even if people pass by the gate on horseback, they are still amazed by its magnificence.

The red paint on the door seemed to have been painted not long ago, it was very new.

Every copper rivet on the door is shining brightly.

Ordinary people often admire its majesty and grandeur when they come to the city, but generals such as He Lingchuan and Xue Zongwu can tell at first glance that there is no sword or arrow mark on the city gate, no.

It's beautiful, it's sturdy, but it's more of a decoration.

This gate was built sixty years ago. In other words, Mangzhou has not suffered the disaster of war for at least the past sixty years.
