Chapter 806: Feint to the East and Attack in the West
Ah Xige looked at her with a sinister smile for a while, but did not say anything to her. Instead, he said, "Ah Hei, when did we agree to meet with the people outside the city?"
The rat-like man immediately said, "The hour of Mao, when the city gates open."
"What time is it now?"
"There are still two quarters of an hour until the morning."
"They should be waiting outside the West City Gate now."
"Yes."
“…”
Ashige thought for a moment, then said, "Gather all the spies scattered throughout the city and have them go to the west gate and send a signal for the people outside to take action."
Ah Hei was slightly surprised and said, "Your Highness, are we really going to do something so big?"
“…”
"If that's the case, then the people in the city might—"
Ashige waved his hand, asked him to come closer and whispered a few words in his ear. Ahei's eyes suddenly lit up.
Said: "Your Highness has a good plan."
After saying that, he looked at Nan Yan again.
Nan Yan felt creepy when she saw his rat eyes. She didn't know what was going on, but she had a vague feeling that something might be wrong.
Ashige, of course, couldn't just sit there and wait for death, and from what they just said, they had troops supporting them outside Hecheng.
If I were really picked up by their people, it would be difficult for me to escape at that time.
She frowned.
You have to find a way yourself.
Ah Hei quickly jumped out and talked to a few people outside the yard. They immediately left the yard, and the dark figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Nan Yan looked at the sky outside. Although it was still pitch dark, she could faintly feel a little light rising in the east.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the courtyard gate.
Nan Yan frowned and looked outside.
A carriage actually drove in outside the courtyard gate.
Their preparations were quite complete.
Ah Hei, who was driving the carriage, jumped down swiftly, walked in and said to Ah Xige, "Your Highness, everything is ready. They will start on time."
"good."
Ashige immediately reached out and grabbed Nan Yan's arm, dragging her up roughly: "Get up and go!"
Nan Yan didn't dare to disobey. She frowned and was dragged to the carriage by him, stumbling all the way.
Ashig himself got into the carriage.
But he said to the square-faced man who followed him, "Awu, you drive the car."
"yes."
The man named Awu did not ask any more questions and sat directly in the front.
Nan Yan discovered that the man named Ahei had no intention of following, but stood beside the carriage. After Ah Shig gave him a few instructions, his figure disappeared at the end of the quiet and deserted street.
Obviously, he had other things to do.
Awu waved the whip and the carriage started moving forward.
The carriage shook a little, and Nan Yan immediately protected her stomach carefully.
Ashige glanced at her and immediately sneered, "Yes, you should be careful with your belly. After all, it's so big. If there's even a little accident, I'm afraid there will be two deaths."
Hearing this threatening words, Nan Yan asked cautiously: "What do you want to do?"
Ashige said coldly: "You will know in a moment."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned and looked at him.
Then, he turned his head, lifted the curtain on one side and looked outside.
The streets were almost empty in the early morning, and the houses on both sides were pitch black, without even a light.
The carriage was not moving very fast, and in a short while, it had passed through several streets.
At this time, calling for help is useless.
Not to mention that no one would come to save him, Ashig was so close to him, and if he made a move, it would be just as he said - one corpse and two lives.
Keep calm!
There must be a way.
Nan Yan tried her best to calm herself down, but after they drove forward for a while, her breathing became tense again.
Because she found that the sky was gradually turning pale.
And that light is ahead!
They were heading east, not west!
But, just now, Ashige sent someone to inform the people outside the city that there was some movement, which should be to help them out of the city. Didn’t it clearly say that it was the west gate?
What's going on?
Nan Yan vaguely felt something, but at this moment, she had already seen the towering city wall in front of her.
They reached the city gate.
And this place is the East City Gate.
There are already many soldiers and some ordinary people standing at the city gate. Calculating the time, it is almost the hour of Mao. At this time every day, the city gate opens. Some people who want to go out of the city to do business often wait at the city gate at this time, waiting for the gate to open.
But today, the soldiers guarding the city said, "The city gates will not be opened today. You all should go back."
Naturally, the people would not accept this.
Everyone started clamoring, "Why don't you open the city gate?"
"We have an emergency!"
"Open the door and let us out!"
Seeing that everyone was excited, several soldiers drew their swords and shouted, "What do you want to do? Rebellion?"
"The order not to open the city gates came from the Emperor!"
"If you have the guts, go and cause trouble with the Emperor!"
The common people were frightened by the shining steel knives and took several steps back.
However, they really had things to do after all, and if they were not allowed to go out, they could only guard the city gate.
At this time, their carriage also stopped not far from the city gate.
Nan Yan frowned and looked at Ashige.
Just wait like this?
But didn't Zhu Feng and his men have people searching the city? If they searched here, wouldn't they be discovered anyway?
At this moment, suddenly, the sound of a warning gong was heard in the silent city.
Nan Yan felt that the voice sounded familiar.
I remembered it when I listened to it again.
Before, when Arslan was holding him hostage and roaring as he was being taken out of Beiping City, there was also a sound of a gong. It was a warning sound from the city gate, indicating that the gate was to be closed, or that there was an enemy.
This sound came from the west!
Nan Yan subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city also heard it. They looked forward nervously and asked, "What's going on? Over at the west gate—"
"Something must have happened!"
"Should we go over and help?"
"No, we can't act rashly without orders from above!"
The soldiers hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on staying here.
But, obviously, they were all a little nervous when they heard the gong's warning.
At this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly ran over from the side. One of them was wearing a helmet and was obviously a leader. He hurriedly said, "Something's happened to Ximen. There's an order from above. Hurry and reinforce!"
