Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system
Chapter 82 Undercover
After several days, there was finally news. Wang Yi ran over with a serious expression. Sheng Changan was discussing matters with Wu Xiancheng and others.
"Sir, there's something fishy going on. It's a young boy, probably around fourteen or fifteen. I heard he's been asking about how many soldiers are here, intentionally or unintentionally."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present became serious. A boy of fourteen or fifteen could only be being used as a gun, and there must be someone behind him.
How could a young child possibly hide something? Since they have sent undercover agents, there must be more than one.
"Who is he usually closest to?" Sheng Changan's eyes darkened slightly.
Wang Yi shook his head. "It's strange. He just asks around, but he's not close to anyone. They've been there for nearly ten days, and he's still alone."
In other words, he and the people behind him have their own channels of contact. Sheng Changan looked at Lin Chuan. She remembered that Lin Chuan was in charge here now.
"Lin Chuan, tell your men to pay more attention. If they have spoken or been to the same place, check them carefully."
"Okay." He also guessed that this matter must be handed over to him for responsibility.
"Everyone's belongings have mostly been moved, and some people have gone to the forest." County Magistrate Wu stepped forward and said, "Let's see when the Xianbei will arrive."
"Maybe in these few days." Shen Huaizhi estimated the distance and the time they would take to deploy the battle. "Within three days at the earliest, and five days at the latest."
County Magistrate Wu did not doubt his words, but just murmured: "Then we need to speed up." After all, we have to erase all traces later to avoid being discovered, so the time is not enough.
"When do you intend to leave, sir?"
"I can't move. They've already seen me. If they don't see anyone this time, they'll probably doubt our plan."
Wu Xiancheng disagreed, "Sir, this is too dangerous."
"No venture, no gain. Success or failure depends on this one move. I cannot retreat," Sheng Changan said in a firm tone.
Wu Xiancheng knew that he could not persuade her, so he could only look at Shen Huaizhi and ask, "I wonder how many people Captain Shen plans to keep?"
"One hundred people." He originally wanted to bring only fifty people, but if the adults were included, this number of people would not be enough. "Don't worry, County Magistrate Wu, the adults are here, and I am here too."
He didn't intend to persuade him. He had thought about this problem before, but he didn't want to bring it up, so he planned to find someone to dress up as Sheng Changan.
But this was not safe. Once he was suspected, all his efforts would be in vain. Moreover, he was confident that he could escape unscathed, so he simply chose to ignore what County Magistrate Wu meant.
Li Hui sighed silently in her heart. It seemed that her men had no part in this battle. Her team had just been formed not long ago, and most of them were newcomers. Going to the battlefield now would be tantamount to committing suicide.
County Magistrate Wu was choked. As soon as he heard what the boy said, he knew that he was pretending not to understand him.
However, Sheng Changan's attitude was too firm, and no one present supported him, so he could only choose to shut up.
Seeing that County Magistrate Wu was not going to persuade him anymore, Sheng Changan breathed a sigh of relief. "Li Hui will be in charge of the security and try to evacuate all the people in Guangping County."
"You must be extra careful with these two groups of people who have recently arrived. No accidents can happen."
"Yes," everyone said in unison.
In the next two days, the people behind the young man were not found, so Li Hui could only take a group of people to hide these people in another place, and she would lead people to guard it personally. After the problem was solved, she would return to Guangping to deal with the Xianbei people who stayed behind.
The forest was handed over to a man named Gao Qiang under Shen Huaizhi. Li Dashan and others were nearby, so they could go into the forest if anything went wrong.
The entire county fell silent in an instant. Sheng Changan arrived at the city gate, saddled his horse, and waited for his opportunity. He headed towards Shangyu, pretending to ask for help from the soldiers stationed there.
"Sir, there is a horse hoof body. It should be less than ten miles away from here." A soldier said close to the ground.
Sheng Changan was a little curious. It was the first time she saw someone judge the enemy's distance by the vibration of the ground.
"Let's go, leave now." With Sheng Chang'an here, he couldn't wait here for the Xianbei people to come. Once surrounded, although he could escape, injuries were inevitable.
"Don't you want to wait?"
"No need, they have eagles, and some of them can even understand what eagles mean. Besides, this distance is about right, and they can just see our backs as we leave."
Sheng Changan's eyes lit up with surprise. How amazing! It would be great if he was hers.
Shen Huaizhi sat astride Sheng Changan. Following his order, some people stayed in the tunnel, and the remaining fifteen followed him.
When the Xianbei people were still some distance away from here, they saw Shen Huaizhi riding a horse with Sheng Changan leaving.
The leader cursed. It was obvious that the horse was theirs, and it was of high quality. It was obvious that some Xianbei people had definitely done business with the Han people.
The key is that their horses are better than his. His own horse has gone through a long journey, and the distance is not close. It is still unlikely to catch up with them. He can only let his eagle catch up first.
Shen Huaizhi looked serious as he looked at the two eagles that had been circling above their heads. "Sir, you come to control the horses."
Sheng Changan took a deep breath and gripped the rope in her hand. They had agreed early in the morning to divert the disaster to Shangyu. She had not forgotten what she saw in Shangyu last time.
It was just right for her to use her life to attract them and divert their attention. At that moment, she also saw that there were quite a lot of Xianbei people coming this time.
It was obvious that he was determined to kill her. Well, that was good, because she was afraid that this good brother of Da Xitai was not so cruel.
Shen Huaizhi directly pulled out the arrow from behind him, drew the string to its full extent, and when the two eagles were about to overlap, he shot the arrow in his hand with unstoppable force and hit the bull's eye.
The person behind him had a gloomy expression. He didn't expect that there were people with such good archery skills in Jingguo. Logically speaking, shouldn't these people be dead?
"You take a thousand people and stay here, and the rest follow me." Even without the eagle, he knew where these people were going, and the only place where they could get reinforcements was Shangyu.
"Yes" This person was the one who was next to Da Xitai last time.
About five or six days later, they finally saw the city gate of Shangyu. During these days, the distance between Shen Huaizhi and the Xianbei remained in a delicate balance.
They won’t lose us, but they won’t be able to catch up with us either. Sometimes they even have a little time to rest.
The next step is to find a way to enter the city. This time, just in case, Sheng Changan deliberately wore women's clothes, and Shen Huaizhi darkened his skin color, but his facial features did not change much.
Sheng Changan frowned. This wouldn't work as his appearance was still somewhat conspicuous. But for now, she could only go in temporarily and wait for her to find the tools to make some changes to him.
So much time has passed, and because of the fire, they might have thought Shen Huaizhi was dead.
