"I don't know about this subordinate!"
Li Si could only shake his head helplessly.
Although he is Zhao Muyun's bodyguard, he has no control over anything related to the newly established intelligence agency [Yebushou].
Miss Bingbing came to Jincheng with Zhao Muyun to wait for orders.
It was originally agreed that she would wait until Zhao Muyun exchanged hostages and brought back Wang Tiezhu before leaving Jincheng and sneaking into Xiazhou to assassinate Hou Zongmin.
Who was the person she had bet with Zhao Muyun and who asked Zhao Muyun to rescue her that made her risk her life like that?
If Zhao Muyun had not fought with Hou Zongmin, he would have agreed to Bingbing's trip.
However, after Zhao Muyun fought with Hou Zongmin at Shaohukou, even if he only agreed to Bingbing's request, it would be impossible for her to go to Xiazhou alone.
Regardless of Bingbing's origins, [Yebushou] is just in its infancy, and a captain like Bingbing cannot be lost.
"Sir, should we chase her back? She's only been gone for a day, we should be able to catch up!"
Li Si saw Zhao Muyun frowning and looking melancholy, so he said.
"It's no use. Even if I catch up with her, she will still insist on having her own way."
Zhao Muyun shook his head, "I can only hope she escapes unscathed!"
"Li Si, you guys pack up, we're going to stay here for half a month."
"Yes, sir!"
......
The sky was filled with yellow sand and heat waves.
On the way back to Xiazhou City from Liuli Mountain, there is a section of road adjacent to the desert.
When the wind blows, the road is filled with yellow sand.
Businessmen and travelers passing by had to cover their faces with cloth and walk with difficulty.
A team of about a thousand people was hurrying along this road.
This team was none other than Hou Zongming and his group who had just returned from Shaohukou.
He exchanged his sworn brother Zhang Hong from Zhao Muyun. Although he failed to kill Zhao Muyun on the spot, the trip was worthwhile.
After picking up the person, he had to hurry back to Xiazhou City.
After all, in Xijing, Li Jingang was preparing with the imperial army for a decisive battle in Xijing.
In Linzhou, Ma Zongliang was also confronting Tian Zun.
Now, in order to exchange hostages, Dayin's Pinglu Captain appeared in Yanzhou.
Although Zhao Muyun's presence was to guard against the Tatars in the north, his main defense areas were still Shuozhou and Weizhou.
But we have to be on guard, in case Zhao Muyun suddenly launches military action against Xiazhou.
Since Zhao Muyun's rise, Hou Zongmin, who was in Xiazhou, also began to send spies to collect intelligence about Zhao Muyun.
It was no easy feat to defeat the Northern Di Tartars several times and be promoted rapidly from a small border soldier in a beacon tower to a captain.
Xiazhou has 20,000 troops, while Zhao Muyun has only 10,000, and they are scattered across four provincial capitals. If he wants to launch an attack on Xiazhou, he will have to mobilize at least half of his troops.
Hou Zongming could easily notice such a loud noise.
But Zhao Muyun's military tactics were unpredictable, and he often defeated the larger force with a smaller one, even when dealing with the Tartars.
Therefore, when Hou Zongmin met Zhao Muyun at Shaohukou and had a brief fight with him, he became nervous.
He had to rush back to Xiazhou as soon as possible to adjust his troops to prevent Zhao Muyun from suddenly attacking Xiazhou.
"Three thousand kilograms of fine salt turned out to be sand. I'm so angry!"
The second brother was still upset about the three thousand kilograms of fine salt. "Zhao Muyun is a captain of Dayin after all, and he actually resorted to such tactics."
Hou Zongmin did not scold.
They were scolding Zhao Muyun for being unethical, and they were doing the same.
Wang Tiezhu was just unconscious due to sunburn, but the second brother carried Hou Zongming on his back on the way here and cut Wang Tiezhu's hamstrings.
When Hou Zongmin asked about it, the second brother argued that if Wang Tiezhu was sent back this time, there was no guarantee that he would come to assassinate again.
By cutting his tendons, I ended his dreams, and this was for my brother's long-term benefit.
Hou Zongmin acquiesced to the second brother's actions.
Wang Tiezhu's assassination left Hou Zongmin with lingering fears.
If it weren't for the spy's cleverness in finding out the whereabouts of Wang Tiezhu and others, and Hou Zongmin's calm ambush to kill Wang Tiezhu and his party, he would have been the one to die.
To capture Wang Tiezhu and his eleven men, Hou Zongmin paid the price of more than thirty people, and several centurions died.
In the end, Hou Zongmin took action personally.
Even during the attack, Hou Zongmin experienced Wang Tiezhu's skills and the close-combat weapon in his hand, which was the same as Zhao Muyun's.
If Hou Zongmin had not been experienced in many battles, he would probably have been pierced with several transparent holes.
Hearing the second brother's complaint, Zhang Hong remained silent.
He is now anxious to return to Xiazhou and wait for Hou Zongmin to provide him with troops so that he can stand up straight.
"Brother, Dejing City is ahead. Let's go into the city and rest!" Zhang Hong shouted, pointing at the city in front of him.
"Dejing City is the city where I am stationed. Big brother, let me play the role of host tonight." The second brother said loudly immediately.
"Well! We are exhausted from the journey. Let's go into the city to rest for a night and then continue our journey early tomorrow morning." Hou Zongming nodded.
The second brother laughed out loud: "Haha, it's rare for Big Brother to pass by my place. I will arrange for the girls from Cuiyan Tower to sing for you and accompany you with wine tonight."
"Then I'll follow my second brother's arrangements." Hou Zongming's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.
The group rode at full speed, through the dense yellow sand, and headed towards Dejing City.
Outside the city, people had already lined up and were waiting to welcome Hou Zongmin and others into the city with great ceremony.
at the same time.
Outside Xiazhou City.
A caravan of more than 30 people under the banner of Zhou appeared at the city gate.
In their horse team, the mules and horses were loaded with goods.
In the team, there were a dozen men with expressionless faces and cold eyes. They wore their hats pulled down low and carried long objects wrapped in coarse cloth on their backs. One could tell without looking that they were weapons.
