I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 206

Guard Xia couldn't help but ask: "Why not?"

Captain Qi took a deep breath and said, "Captain Xia, please let our general report first."

Becoming polite? Guard Xia thought that the border troops wanted to save face in front of the emperor.

He looked at Shen Changsui and saw him nod in agreement, so he waited patiently.

Then, Captain Qi asked, "Write the list to me.

There are other people who have been planted there. If you know of any, please write them down and I will plead for you later."

The Wu family boy who was released didn't care, "I just want to know how my father and brother are doing now?"

Shen Changsui also wanted to know whether the army that was going to suppress the rebellion had arrived.

Captain Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "A few days ago, Wu Xian and his men led troops to attack the General's Mansion, but they have not yet broken through."

In other words, the latest news has not arrived yet, but the boy from the Wu family knows that he, a small figure hiding thousands of miles away, has been caught, and those people in Ganliang are ninety-nine percent in danger.

"So, you have always had a group, or even several groups of bandits and horse thieves at your disposal? Is that right?" Shen Changsui inadvertently raised another big question.

Seeing the Wu family boy remained silent, his heart sank, "How many people scattered outside have your Wu family provided with money to support?"

"Wu Xian has made comprehensive arrangements and placed people near us. He has good intentions!" Captain Qi said this in a counterintuitive way.

The Wu family boy said: "The generals of the Great Zhou have always looked down on our ancestors."

“I don’t know, my family only gave me a group of people, about sixty or seventy of them were selected from my tribe.

Captain Qi, can I wait here for news of my father and brother before being sent away? "The Wu family boy knew that he would not stay here for too long.

“Let’s see what happens. Bring me a pen and paper.

No, come to the hall and write it." Captain Qi felt uncomfortable when he thought that there were spies from other families around him.

But he did not expect that many things had already been known by Lu Guan, who had interrogated several batches of prisoners, and had specially assigned soldiers with three horses each to quickly report the latest intelligence to the emperor.

What he was thinking at this moment was that he must report the name written by the boy from the Wu family to the general as soon as possible.

Furthermore, because the young man from the Wu family cooperated very well and what he said later no longer involved border affairs, the interrogation did not last long. He left Shen Changsui and others to be entertained by his trusted centurion and went to write a letter in a hurry.

When Guard Xia saw this situation, he didn't feel like staying any longer.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the Wu family kid quickly argued for himself: "You two, can you keep him in this room in the side yard?"

Because he had seen it in Liangzhou, he knew very well what it was like to be thrown into prison.

"I was going to take you away." He was the target of the Guards, and escorting him to the capital was the right thing to do. Shen Changsui reminded Guard Xia to complete the handover.

But his idea was good, but Captain Qi disagreed to take the person away. He said that this person was responsible for the border defense and could only be transferred after an order was issued from the General's Mansion tomorrow.

If it were an ordinary place, Guard Xia could intimidate people by using the case handled by the Guard Bureau, but here the whole city of Yanghe City has been under control, and he cannot leave the city even if he forcibly takes people away.

The most important thing is that the Ministry of Guards only has the right to investigate this matter. Without the emperor's approval and the Ministry of Justice's order, it has no procedural right to arrest anyone.

Guard Xia had no choice but to give up and left the government office, complaining: "They are controlling us ourselves.

Mr. Shen, I don't think you are in a hurry at all."

"There's no point in being anxious. You can only send out today's letter after the city gates are opened tomorrow morning.

During this period of time, we should think about whether to return in a hurry to report or decide on the next step to expand the victory. "Shen Changsui said this, but he kept thinking about the internal response arranged in each guard post by the boy from the Wu family.

Their trip basically returned empty-handed. Seeing that everyone came back so soon, Shen Xiaoye naturally wanted to ask a few questions.

After listening to her uncle's narration, she hadn't formed any idea yet, but Taoist Master Hengxi said, "Based on the manpower deployed by the Wu family in various places, moving thirty to fifty miles outside the city and connecting them into a line would be a very good route for retreating to Mobei."

“Well, so I had a bold idea to find a place near this line and wait.

When the rebels' fleeing troops passed through, we joined them.

And there is no need to disguise too much, they must have brought their families along the way, we don't even need to wear military uniforms, just a little embarrassed to say the name of the rebellious centurion." Even without a map, but with Mr. Pan's emphasis on the instructions, Shen Changsui still has a clear understanding of the local geography.

Shen Xiaoye understood that they still wanted to infiltrate the Northern Tartars. She thought for a moment and said, "The prerequisite for doing this is that all the hundred households and their subordinates who have reported their names must be captured.

Otherwise, we will be exposed as soon as we meet face to face.”

Taoist Priest Hengxi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be so strict. Among them are soldiers and civilians who surrendered during the time of Taizu.

After the failure, there will naturally be people who will be swept away. We just need to do this part.

The only requirement is that there should be more women to make it look more realistic."

Shen Changsui pointed out the shortcomings, "It's not easy to find women who dare to go deep into Mobei.

Well, if we pretend to be the merchants who are being held hostage, will that work?"

Shen Xiaoye disagreed: "Uncle, have you forgotten? The Taoist priest once said that there are female nuns in their group, and there must not be many women in the fleeing team.

Three or five of them will suffice, but we'll have to trouble a few Taoist priests to change into layman's clothes."

“It’s just a change of clothes. Entering the world is also a form of spiritual practice.

I will go to discuss with my senior brother tomorrow, but we will have to wait for Lu Guan." Taoist Master Hengxi stood up and said, "We have to go and check on the injured.

Fellow Daoist Changsui, do you want to go and have a look together?"

When the nephew and uncle accepted the invitation and left, Lu Guan was still marching fast under the stars. Of course, he only brought a small number of people with him, and the captives behind him were still being guarded by the accompanying border troops, and they had to wait until dawn before setting off again.

However, he did not rush to Yanghe, but went to Datong Prefecture first to properly place the rescued children. So at dawn the next day, Shen Xiaoye and his team did not see him.

But everyone was not idle either. They all received orders from Shen Changsui and went to the streets to purchase necessary items.

Shen Xiaoye's space was well stocked with things, so she didn't have much to buy, but she was very interested in visiting the cloth shop in the border town.

Fortunately, the people in this city have adapted to the so-called control many years ago, and the investigation in every village last night did not affect the lives of the people.

Well, if we ignore the families of those arrested who come to the government office, the streets will still be calm.

Before Shen Xiaoye stepped into the cloth shop, she heard a commotion inside, apparently because the cloth was too expensive.

As she was hesitating whether to wait a while before going in, the sound of hurried horse hooves came closer and closer, brushing past her.

"They are messengers." Little Black Cat can now distinguish the affiliations of some soldiers.

Shen Xiaoye murmured, "So soon, is there another incident?"
