My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

The two flag officers kept a distance of fifty steps, one behind the other, galloping on the official road from Shangyang County to Sanyang County.

In order to prevent information from being intercepted by the enemy, the military usually sends people to deliver messages or dispatch scouts in groups of two, with dozens of steps between the two parties. If one person is attacked, the other person can respond quickly and usually escape directly. , their mission is to deliver messages, not to fight.

When Sanyang City was destroyed, these two flag officers returned to Shangyang County to inform them of the military situation, asking Shangyang County Government to send people to take over as soon as possible. Now that the military information had been conveyed, they were on their way to Sanyang County.

"Om~"

"唏伦~"

A trip horse rope suddenly appeared in front of the galloping flag officer, and the war horse was tripped directly. The flag officer was agile and pressed on the horse's back. The moment the horse fell to the ground, he had already jumped to the side. He backhand, drew his sword, and looked at him warily. All around.

A dozen men in county soldiers' armor suddenly sprang out from both sides of the road and surrounded him.

"Who are you! How dare you intercept the flag officer in the army!?" The flag officer looked at these 'county soldiers' with murderous intent on their faces without fear.

Scouts and flag officers in the army often face various dangers. Not only do they have to react quickly, but their skills are also usually good. Now they are facing a dozen menacing men, but they are not afraid.

"My eldest brother, please go over and ask me a question. Put down your weapons and follow me." A burly man stepped forward to disarm.

"How presumptuous!" the flag officer shouted and slashed at the man with his sword.

"I don't know whether to live or die!" The man sneered when he saw this. He turned to one side to get out of the way of the opponent's blade, grabbed the back of the blade and dragged it towards him.

The flag officer only felt that the opponent was very strong, and the hand holding the knife felt faintly like being pricked by needles. This was the inner breath!

His face couldn't help but change. He wanted to withdraw the knife, but his neck was already strangled by the opponent. A huge force came in. After his body was in the air, he was thrown to the ground by the opponent. The flag officer suddenly felt as if his body was about to split. His brain was empty and he slowly stopped for a long time. Don't come.

"take away!"

The man waved his hand, and someone stepped forward to suppress the flag officer and led him towards the dense forest beside the official road.

On the way, the flag officer saw his companion being escorted over with a pale face, and his heart sank slightly. The opponent was not only powerful, but also obviously very familiar with military habits. He had already made arrangements to ambush two flag officers at the same time.

The two flag officers were soon escorted deep into the dense forest, where they saw a young man wearing county captain's armor examining them.

"Who are you? Do you know what the crime of intercepting us is?" The flag officer looked at the young man in front of him with a sullen face.

"I, Lu Xuan, according to the court, should be a rebel." Lu Xuan glanced at the faces of the two flag officers and replied casually: "What is the crime you are talking about?"

Rebellious thief, that’s okay!

The two flag officers were speechless. No matter how great the crime was, it could not compare to the crime of rebelling against a thief.

"Bring it here!" Lu Xuan stretched out his hand, and one of his subordinates handed over two ingots of gold.

"As for me, I am a reasonable person. I have some small questions to ask you two. Don't worry, as long as you answer them clearly, I will not only spare your lives, but I will also give each of you an ingot of gold as a thank you gift. I don't know what your flag is. What's the official opinion?"

The two flag officers looked at each other and then said simply: "Excuse me, Your Excellency."

It's not that I'm really obsessed with wealth, but in the current situation, try to save your life first, and then find a way to send the news back. If your life is lost, what's the use of being tough?

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised, but then he reacted, nodded and said: "That's right, take this and leave first."

At that moment, someone took a flag officer to a distance. Lu Xuan looked at the remaining person and said, "I will ask him the same question later. If something goes wrong, neither of you will have to live."

The flag officer's face was a little gloomy. They had seen rebels before, but few were as cunning as the person in front of them.

This level is difficult to pass.

"What are you doing in Shangyang City?" Lu Xuan asked regardless of what the other party thought.

The flag officer hesitated for a moment and said, "Sanyang City has been destroyed. I will come and inform the prefect."

Lu Xuan nodded: "How many defenders are there in Shangyang County now?"

The flag officer was silent when he heard this.

"It's difficult to answer?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile as he looked at the flag officer.

"Shangyang County is a county town, and there are three thousand soldiers and horses stationed there. This time to conquer Sanyang County, the prefect sent two thousand soldiers and horses to accompany the county captain. At this time, there should be a thousand soldiers and horses in Shangyang County." Flag Officer. Not sure.

He is a flag officer in the army and does not know the details of Shangyang County's troop deployment.

"If soldiers and horses enter the city at this time, what will the defenders ask?" Lu Xuan asked again.

The flag officer looked at the military uniforms on Lu Xuan and others and fell silent.

"Looking at your age, you don't have any martial arts skills. You probably don't come from a good background. There is a high probability that you will be sent home when you are old or seriously injured. You will have to make money on your own for the rest of your life. There should be others at home. ?You said that if you die here, your parents will have no one to support you, and your wife will sleep with someone else. If you have children, it may be even worse. Maybe someone else will hold your wife, live in your house, and beat your children. Tsk tsk~ Lu Xuan looked at him with some pity: "Isn't the most important thing in life is family?"

"Your Excellency, will you really let me go?" The flag officer felt a little tight in his chest. Although he knew that the other party was deceiving him, this kind of thing could really happen.

"Why not?" Lu Xuan put a piece of gold into the opponent's hand and said, "Rebels are forced to become rebels because they have no other choice, but rebels also care about credibility. With this money, even if you don't become a soldier in the future, You can live a more nourishing life after going home, right?"

"If you want to enter the city, you will check the military order. Today's military order is filial piety and righteousness!" the flag officer said solemnly.

"What masters are there in Shangyang County now?"

"The county lieutenant has left. There should be three more innate masters. The governor doesn't know what their strength is."

"What's the governor's name?"

"Zhou Ji."

After Lu Xuan asked a few more questions, he asked someone to take the flag officer away, and then called in another flag officer. After asking the same questions again, he let them go after confirming that they were correct.

The two flag officers did not expect that Lu Xuan actually kept his word. Although he left the horse behind, in this situation, he was lucky to be alive. They took the gold and left without saying a word.

"Brother, are you really letting them go? These two will definitely inform Sanyang County when they return." Looking at the backs of the two, a confidant frowned.

"What I want is for them to tell the matter. No matter how fast they run, it will take them two days to travel more than a hundred miles." Lu Xuan got on his horse and said with a smile: "Let's go, we will pass through Shangyang County tonight. This county The city is prosperous and I have never seen it before, so today I will take you to see it for a long time!"

A group of rebels responded to the order with a bang. Under the leadership of Lu Xuan, they lined up neatly, carrying a coffin and heading towards Shangyang County.
