Chapter 361 Something is wrong
...Under the city wall, Chen Yuan listened to the sounds of killing that were getting louder and louder, and he did not forget to urgently say to the 500 soldiers who were on duty today,
"Go and help!"
"No!" Jiang Yue waved her hand to stop him.
"General Chen, if the gate of Lindu is empty and those Jin troops hiding in the city attack us, can you still defend this gate?"
She ran away from Chen Yuan, aiming towards the figure running around in the city.
But after running for a moment, he suddenly stopped.
Something is wrong.
These Jin people did not appear at the city gate at the same time to force their way in, but were dispersed within the city. It was obvious that their purpose was to distract their attention.
She couldn't be fooled.
Turning back hurriedly, she stared at the towering city wall, looked at the Donglin flag fluttering in the wind, and turned back again at her fastest speed.
"Young General, why are you back again?" Chen Yuan still had the same thought as before, that the Jin Dynasty was trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
"General Chen, were the city gates well guarded just now?"
Jiang Yue was afraid that the Jin people would take the opportunity to sneak out of the city.
"Of course. I promise, not even a fly can fly out."
Jiang Yue asked again: "Is there any place in the city that is in disrepair?"
"No, the city wall is solid and will be fine for another thousand years." Chen Yuan assured, patting his chest.
Jiang Yue: "Are you sure?"
"Sure. Don't forget, defending the city is my duty. If you don't understand this..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yue had already rushed to the city wall.
"Young General, I haven't finished speaking yet." Chen Yuan rushed over.
"But did you find anything unusual?"
"Not yet!" If the city wall was intact and several meters long, even if the Jin people had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to climb over it if they did not know how to do Qinggong.
On the contrary, if they had been able to climb out, there would not have been this scene on the city wall.
She walked into the city gate eagerly, looked at the tightly locked tall city gate, and asked the two guards beside the city gate,
"Has anyone found anything unusual?"
One of them clasped his fists and replied:
"Replying to General Jiang, we have not found anything yet."
Chen Yuan felt that Jiang Yue was too cautious.
"Young General, don't you see that the city gate is tightly closed? Even if the Jin army wants to leave the city, they won't leave through the city gate unless they..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yue had already left his sight, and then she crossed the steps, rushed to the top of the tower, and then looked at the two guards and asked:
"Did you find anything unusual?"
"General Jiang, no." The two guards also shook their heads.
"Have you seen anyone suspicious?" Jiang Yue asked again.
"Oh, two soldiers just came up, but they went down again very quickly."
"Got down?" Jiang Yue began to check carefully, and suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the rope that was tied between the city walls.
Her eyes were fixed, and her heart felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave.
Chen Yuan looked at it and his heart suddenly turned cold.
"It's over..."
He cannot escape the death penalty.
Jiang Yue: "Prepare the horses!"
"Yes!" Chen Yuan shouted to the soldiers under the city as he rushed down.
"Prepare the horses and open the city gates!"
As the commander of the capital, Chen Yuan often patrolled the city from time to time. In the past, he had captured some ruffians and bandits outside the city, as well as some spies from the Great Jin and Donglin.
But today he was caught off guard.
Donglin is a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite of it.
Jiang Yue had already climbed down the city wall. At this moment, in addition to the long sword that she almost never took off except when attending court, she also had a set of bow and arrows on her back that she had just taken from the soldiers guarding the city.
With a horse neighing, Jiang Yue straddled the horse's back, flicked the whip, and the horse started to gallop out of the city gate.
"General Chen, make sure to guard the city gates. Remember, be extremely vigilant! Also, notify the Ministry of Justice!"
Although she felt that the changes in the city were so serious that the Ministry of Justice was already working together to arrest people, she still couldn't help but give a reminder.
Chen Yuan urgently said something to his soldiers defending the city, then he also straddled his horse, his entire body already following Jiang Yue.
At this moment, his heart was pounding and extremely unstable. He tried his best to catch up with the horse in front of him. The whistling wind made his heart even more panicked.
However, just as he chased out, he heard Jiang Yue's stern words:
"Do you want His Majesty to execute all your clans? Go back and defend the city!"
"...Yes." Chen Yuan's breathing was still unstable, but he finally stopped.
The sound of horse hooves was heard again. It was Wu Ning, Xue Wen, Lin Guo and Mu Heng riding their horses towards them at the same time, and the horses followed closely behind Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue looked back and saw four people chasing after her. She thought, they arrived just in time at the critical moment.
After the four of them caught up, Xue Wen asked:
"General Yue, has any spy escaped from the city?"
That’s right, they just reacted to the change in the city gate and rushed over as soon as possible.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Jiang Yue riding a horse out of the city, so he quickly followed.
"Yes." Jiang Yue's answer was simple and straightforward, which made the four people's horse-riding actions take it to the next level.
Then, she asked the four people while riding her horse:
"How is the situation in the city?"
Wu Fei said: "The Jin people are too cunning. They disguise themselves as local people and blend in with the locals, making it difficult to detect them."
Lin Guo said: "We just robbed a lot of grain carts."
Mu Heng: "I'm afraid it was premeditated."
The men spoke quickly, without delaying the pursuit.
Outside the capital, there are wilderness and mountains.
While riding their horses, Jiang Yue and others had been paying attention to the movements ahead, but after chasing for a while, they did not see any human figures and began to slow down their horses.
They carefully observed the movements around them so as not to miss the opportunity and let the Jin Dynasty's spies escape.
Jiang Yue took the lead and the horses headed towards Dajin.
"They don't have horses, so they can't go far. Watch carefully."
Suddenly, Jiang Yue stared at the bushes swaying in the wind in front of her, and saw two figures staggering and walking quickly under the shadows of the trees.
In order to avoid being noticed by the other party, she didn't say anything, just gave a look.
The other four people naturally discovered the figures of Tuoman and his servant at the same time.
The five men began to march quickly.
But at this moment, countless cold arrows poured down on the four people like a tide.
The rain of arrows whistled, dense and ruthlessly piercing their bodies.
A cold arrow shot straight at Jiang Yue's back. She turned around suddenly and used her long sword to cut the arrow into two.
Jiang Yue's first reaction was, could it be that they had fallen into a trap set by the Jin Dynasty's spies?
If you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be like this. The spies from the Great Jin Dynasty shouldn't have had the chance to contact their own people.
Sniffing the faint smell in the air, she said anxiously,
"The rain of arrows is poisonous!"
