"You agree?" Guan Ximing cried out.

"It's so fucking exciting! Take me?" Zhang Laohei asked excitedly.

"Why him!" Xiaoga asked sharply, looking at Li Changxing coldly.

Zhuo Yue supported his head: "Can you tell me one by one!"

Li Changxing looked at Xiao Ga with a smile: "General Zhuo saw that I was a foreigner, and I was very easy to sneak into the city, so he asked me to go with him."

"I also have a foreign face!" Xiao Ga suddenly turned his head to look at Zhuo Yue, and said firmly, "Brother Zhuo, take me!"

Li Changxing said slowly, "Brother Ga, you obviously don't want to mention your origin, so why force yourself?"

"I won't force it, as long as I can guarantee Brother Zhuo's safety—"

"Little Ga, it's just as safe if I go with Brother Zhuo—"

"How can you guarantee it!" Xiao Ga stood up abruptly, "You unknown——"

"Okay!" Zhuo Yue shouted.

Xiaoga and Li Changxing closed their mouths at the same time, but their eyes were still anxious. If someone struck a match in the middle, the atmosphere on the spot would be ignited.

Zhuo Yue scratched his head a little irritably, and said bluntly, "Li Changxing was ordered by General Lou himself. I have no right to make decisions about this. Gazi, he has been with us for a while. When it's time to go to battle, this little trust is still good." To give."

Xiao Ga clenched his fists, looked at Zhuo Yue with a hint of begging: "Brother Zhuo, this is too dangerous, if something happens to him in the city—"

"What's wrong with him, wouldn't it be you?" Zhuo Yue patted Xiao Ga on the shoulder, jokingly said, "If he sells me, remember to hang this kid up to dry and drink."

Several people fell silent at the same time, looking at their expressions, none of them appreciated Zhuo Yue's joke.

"After entering the city, how are you going to contact the outside world?" Guan Ximing asked worriedly, "If you are caught in a tight siege, you might as well not go."

Zhuo Yue took out something from his pocket and spread it out in front of everyone.But he saw that it was a small wooden bird half the size of a human fist, its stomach could be cut open, and there was a spring on its tail.Zhuo Yue twisted the spring, and the little wooden bird fluttered its wings and flew up.

"Ah!" Guan Ximing exclaimed, "This, how can this be so amazing!"

Zhuo Yue put the little wooden bird in his arms: "This is called the letter bird. I heard that this bird can fly according to the direction of the magnet. I wind it up in the city and let it fly and it will find its direction. So you don't have to worry about the communication problem."

Guan Ximing opened his mouth, but the worry on his face didn't fade away - there was only one bird, and it was very easy to be shot down by people.It means that they only have one chance to ask for help, and if the Zhagan soldiers in Jiaocheng found out during the communication, the consequences would be even more disastrous.

Zhuo Yue looked relaxed, as if he didn't care about these details at all.He put on the jacket of ordinary people, and put the flying tiger claws, dagger and other things into a close-fitting bag, and tied it tightly around his waist.Although the Xuanhua ax is a sharp weapon, it is not suitable for lurking, so he didn't bring it this time.

Xiao Ga stood beside him, looking at Zhuo Yue motionlessly.Although he was ordered by Zhuo Yue not to speak anymore, he still expressed his dissatisfaction with his eyes and actions.

As soon as Zhuo Yue looked up and saw him like this, he sighed in his heart, stretched out his hand and pulled him aside and scolded: "Damn it, other people just need to be responsible for killing people as a sentry officer, and I have to be responsible for following you guys." Let's talk, what the hell... Tell me, what else do you think?"

Xiao Ga pursed her lips: "...I don't trust you. Li Changxing's background is unknown. I'm afraid he will harm you if he enters the city."

"What's the benefit of killing me? I'm not a great general or hero. When I die, it's like crushing an ant to death." Zhuo Zhuo scolded, "And even if he really wanted to harm me, there were plenty of opportunities before, so why bother?" Have to wait until now."

There was something indescribable in Xiaoga's tone: "Brother Zhuo, you don't know that Li Changxing is very insidious, he often—"

"Often what?" Zhuo Yue looked at him with his arms around his shoulders.

Xiao Ga was silent for a moment, and said dejectedly: "...Forget it, it's nothing."

"Come on, I know you're worried about me, but I know about this matter." Zhuo Yue carelessly snorted his head, "Don't put on such a late lady face again."

After night fell, Zhuo Yue and Li Changxing took advantage of the moonless night and came to the dense forest one mile away from Danji City as agreed.Wang Rong had been waiting there with a few people. When he saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhuo is here? I'll see you off."

Zhuo Yue laughed dryly: "What did General Wang Shen say..." making him look like a prisoner who was sentenced to death.

"The first time I saw you, I thought you were a talent." Wang Rong patted him vigorously on the shoulder. Commander Lou feels a little overwhelmed, you have to work hard not to let us down."

Zhuo Yue looked at him speechlessly - even Lou's father thought this method was unreliable, it seemed that they were letting him gamble with his life.

But he wasn't a complete brat either.The reason why he agreed to Xia Lou Changfeng's request so decisively was because he remembered that during the battle of Danji City in his previous life, half a month after the siege, a fire suddenly broke out in the city, and the inside and outside of the city responded and took advantage of the chaos to attack the city in one fell swoop.But as for how the fire broke out in the city, these ordinary soldiers have never been able to know. The consistent saying in the army is "Heaven help me".

This time when Lou Changfeng found him, the mystery that had been unsolved in the previous life finally had the answer.

Only this time, he was finally going to become a promoter from a bystander of the battle situation.

Wang Rong pointed to a two-arm-width earth hole in front of them, and said with a smile: "This hole leads directly to the Danji moat, and you can find the underdrain from under the moat wall. I heard that there is a diamond-shaped water fence at the mouth of the underdrain. The grid is blocked by thick square columns, and the gap is very narrow.”

As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his pocket and handed it to Zhuo Yue, saying: "This is the 17th birthday gift of Mr. Lou Chuiyun, cut iron and cut gold like mud, you can use this to break the railing of the water fence. But you must keep it well and return it on time, otherwise Little General Chuiyun will be unhappy when he finds out that his dagger has been lost."

Zhuo Yue pulled a hair and put it on the blade of the dagger, and blew lightly on the blade, but the hair broke in two on the spot.

It really is a peerless weapon.

"Okay, then we're leaving." Zhuo Yue put the dagger in his arms properly, and looked back at Li Changxing.

Li Changxing had been standing quietly behind him. At this moment, the two of them met their eyes and smiled at him.

"Aren't you nervous?" This kid's nerves sometimes seemed to be hollowed out, whether he was eating, sleeping or going to battle to kill the enemy, he always had the same calm expression.

Li Changxing curled his lips slightly, showing him a soft and peaceful expression.Under the moonlight, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes became more and more clean, and the color faded a little, and it was stained with the beauty of the silver moon, like a plain begonia in a spring garden evening.

He said quietly: "Brother Zhuo is here."

Zhuo Yue was a little depressed.The few brats I pulled up with my own hands questioned him all day long, but this one picked him up halfway, and seemed to have full trust in him.

"Let's go." He said briefly, and jumped into the pit first.

The deep cave was as tall as a person, and after landing, I saw a half-meter-wide cave in front of me, and it was dark and I didn't know where it led.Zhuo Yue bent down and crawled into the cave, only to slowly kneel forward when he heard that Li Changxing behind him was also following him.

The cave is quite spacious, even for a grown man crawling in it.But after walking slowly for less than ten meters, there was no light around them anymore, even if they put their hands in front of their eyes, they couldn't see the shape.And the surrounding temperature became more and more humid and hot, the air gradually became thinner, and it became more and more difficult for people to breathe.

On this road, they can't see the head and the end. They can't go back and can only go forward.The soil walls on both sides are just good enough to rub against the shoulders, and when you raise your head a little, you can touch them again.The two of them were like worms wriggling slowly in the crevices of rocks and soil, as if they were about to embed themselves in this narrow gap, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

Zhuo Yue's chest also began to feel stuffy, and it was difficult to breathe.But he tried his best to control himself, trying not to take a big breath, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable.But even so, he still felt dizzy uncontrollably, with tight pain in his chest, as if he was carrying a heavy boulder, and even his eye sockets were sore.

"...Brother Zhuo?"

In the dimness, it seemed that someone called him.

"Brother Zhuo."

Zhuo Yue shivered a little, and the soul that was suffocated and suffocated seemed to have returned a bit.But he didn't want to speak, so as not to consume more air, and was about to answer with an "um" when he suddenly felt that the ground he touched seemed to become wetter.

"There's water." He said briefly.

Sure enough, the water seeping from the front gradually grew taller, and soon covered their wrists and knees.Now the cave was terribly stuffy, and even before they got into the water, their clothes and hair were soaked.

The cave was not very high, and soon the water rose to the shoulders and throats of the two.Knowing that he was about to reach the moat, Zhuo Yue stopped and turned around, stretched out a hand and ordered: "Take a deep breath and grab my hand."

In the darkness, a few slender fingers groped over and interlocked tightly with Zhuo Yue's five fingers.Zhuo Yue took a deep breath of the thin air, and plunged forward into the water.

He was already suffering from lack of oxygen, but now that he held his breath, he felt as if he wanted to explode.So they moved a lot faster in the water. Zhuo Yue kept pulling and swimming, and soon he felt as if someone was sucking him out with a pipe. With the sound of "boo" in the water, the surroundings were suddenly empty. They had plunged into a wide body of water.

Zhuo Yue couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately kicked his feet desperately to float up.But he suddenly felt his waist tighten and sink - it was Li Changxing who grabbed his hand and climbed up, hugging his waist tightly.

Zhuo Yue was so depressed that he couldn't help cursing in his heart, but he had no other choice, so he had to take this thousand-jin pendant and go upstream desperately.Finally, just a second before they drowned, they suddenly surfaced, panting desperately.

In the evening, the cool and refreshing night wind blows over the water surface of the moat, bringing up layers of silent ripples.Escaping from that hot and stuffy dark corridor, Zhuo Yue had never been so grateful for the breeze and moonlight.

Panting for breath, he wiped the water off his face, and cursed at Li Changxing in a low voice, "What are you trying to do with me! Do you want to drag me into the mud!"

Li Changxing couldn't stop coughing due to choking, and held Zhuo Yue tightly with one hand: "Ahem... Zhuo, brother Zhuo, I really don't know how to drink water..."

Zhuo Yue was speechless.But when you think about it, this child grew up in the grassland, and he probably hasn't even seen a large lake in his life, so it's strange that he knows how to swim.He had no choice but to let Li Changxing hug his waist tightly, and the two of them slowly approached the base of the city wall.

At this time, the silver moon was hanging high, and the towering city wall of Danji cast a heavy shadow on the moat, which made it easier for the two to hide.Zhuo Yue carried Li Changxing on his back, trying not to make any sound of water splashing, and finally came under the city wall.

Zhuo Yue leaned on the wall and took a breath, then reached into the water to feel it down, but he didn't touch the water fence of the culvert.His heart sank—as expected, the water fence was deep into the bottom of the water, and if he wanted to cut through the fence, he would have to dive down.

He took out his dagger and held it in his hand, and whispered to Li Changxing, "You stand guard here, and I'll go down and chop the fence."

Li Changxing squeezed his hand: "I'll go."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhuo Yue pushed his head down a little, "Don't raise your head so high, go down a little."

Holding his breath and diving into the water, Zhuo Yue leaned down against the city wall little by little. When the eardrums of both ears began to swell and hurt, he touched a round water drain, and there really stood an arm-thick iron railing.Holding his breath, he took out his dagger and began to cut the railing. The dagger was indeed extremely sharp, and quickly ground a gap in the iron railing.But he couldn't take it anymore, so he had to surface again to catch his breath.

"How is it?" Li Changxing gave him a hand when he floated up.

"I-I have to do it twice more." Zhuo Yue took a deep breath and thought about it again.

"Take a break."

Zhuo Yue glanced at him and reprimanded: "The guards in the city don't rest."

There must be guards patrolling the city in the city, but people will doze off, and if they enter the city when they are stuck, the chance of being discovered will be much smaller.Every moment of delay increases the danger.

After trying two or three times, the iron railing finally broke.Zhuo Yue dived down for the last time, holding his breath and trying to finish chopping in one go, he grabbed the railing and cut vigorously under the water, it was about to break.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the water flowing above his head. When Zhuo Yue raised his head, he saw Li Changxing diving down for some reason.Zhuo Yue was already dizzy from holding back, but when he raised his head, his eyes suddenly blurred, and he subconsciously raised his hand to support his head.

But Li Changxing approached him quickly, grabbed Zhuo Yue's hand that was caressing his head with one hand, and wrapped his arms around his waist with the other, leaning his head gently.The two were getting closer, Shuibo Zhuoyue, who floated through the light and shadow, could clearly see the worry in his emerald eyes.

...what are you doing?

Zhuo Yue looked at Li Changxing in astonishment as he got closer and closer, the tips of their noses were almost touching together, if this was on land, their breaths would have been entangled -

"Boom!"

The water suddenly became choppy, and Zhuo Yue punched Li Changxing hard in the face.Li Changxing's face in the water shook a few times as the water rippled, and he was thrown onto the city wall in embarrassment. As soon as he opened his mouth, a string of bubbles surged up.Zhuo Yue slobbered when he exerted too much force just now, rolled his eyes from choking, struggled to grab Li Changxing's collar and floated up desperately.

The two rushed out of the water together, leaned together and coughed desperately.

"You, are you a fucking idiot?!" Zhuo Yue choked until his face turned purple, and kept cursing.

Li Changxing also had a bad cough, and said aggrievedly, "You've been down for so long, I thought you were sinking."

"I'm sinking, you can just give me a hand!" Joyo scolded, "What the hell are you doing here!"

Li Changxing asked curiously, "Shall I breathe for you?"

The two looked at each other for a moment.

A narrow smile slowly emerged from the corner of Li Changxing's mouth: "Brother Zhuo, what do you think I'm going to do?"

Zhuo Yue said coldly: "It's nothing."

He didn't know which cramp he had.If it was Zhang Laohei and Xiaoga who leaned over instead, even if he turned his mind [-] times, he would not be able to think about it.

But Li Changxing didn't know what was going on, maybe he was born with a sentimental temperament, and when he saw Zhuo Yue with his head tilted underwater, he almost lost his mind instantly.

"Let's go." Zhuo Yue took a deep breath, avoiding Li Changxing's smiling eyes, and said in a cold voice, "The fence below is almost open, and you will hold me tight for a while. I don’t know how long the road is, so be prepared not to choke on the water.”

The two adjusted together for a while, took another long breath, and plunged into the bottom together again.

Sneaking in along the entrance of the dark canal, the two of them were once again surrounded by the familiar darkness, but this time they were swept by the cold water of the canal in early spring.

Zhuo Yue knew that this journey might be difficult, so he kept controlling the frequency of venting his anger.But they continued to move forward along the dark canal, turning around five or six corners, and the surroundings were still pitch black. At this moment, the air in Zhuo Yue's chest was already very thin.

He kept telling himself that Danji City was not too big, and the distance from the underground ditch to the water surface would not be too long.What is a little comforting is that Li Changxing behind him has been holding his hand tightly, so that he will not be overwhelmed by the complete darkness and suffocation.

Simply, at the boundary where the two were held back to explode, a faint light appeared in front of them.They hurriedly accelerated the speed of the water, desperately swam forward, and approached the top of the water desperately—

"Wow—"

Their heads broke through the water at the same time, and they gasped violently.Zhuo Yue took a deep breath of the cool and crisp air, the dripping water on his face was still rolling down, he was about to wipe his face and look at the surrounding environment, but suddenly felt a gust of warm water dripping down from the top of his head .

……It's raining?

Zhuo Yue took advantage of the situation and wiped his face, but suddenly he smelled a fishy smell from the end of his nose, and immediately stopped his hand in mid-air.

This, this is—

He opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes instantly met a pair of shocked eyes.The man on the shore who was peeing with his trousers half unbuttoned was stunned at the two heads floating out of nowhere in the river, and turned into a clay sculpture in shock.

The two sides looked at each other silently for a moment.

The people on the shore opened their mouths suddenly, and before they could yell out their throats, Zhuo Yue jumped out of the water like a dragon and rushed ashore, his hand was like lightning, and he was stunned by a knife in his hand.

"Bah, bah, bah..." Zhuo Yue desperately wiped his head and face in the water, but he felt that the smell of urine on his body couldn't be washed away, "What a fucking disaster!"

Li Changxing squatted on the fainted man and turned him over: "Brother Zhuo, what should we do with this man?"

"Don't worry about him, he might forget about it when he wakes up tomorrow morning." Zhuo Yue wiped his face, walked over and said, "Let's find a place before dawn... hey?"

There was a sudden pause in his words, and he bent down to look carefully at the man who had collapsed on the ground, and then stretched out his hand to pinch the man's chin and looked left and right in the direction of the moonlight.After a while, an uncontrollable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, there's no need to look for land." He straightened up, with an indescribable joy in his voice, "Wait for this kid until he wakes up tomorrow."

Li Changxing observed his expression: "Brother Zhuo, do you know this person?"

"I don't know." Zhuo Yue said briskly.But he was really happy, and even hummed a little tune in a low voice.

The author has something to say: About Xinniao: There was a kind of firecracker in the Ming Dynasty called Shenhuo Flying Crow. If you are interested, you can check it out.It's a little deified here haha.

Brother Zhuo, whose face was sprayed with an unknown object: Convex (前盘哉) kill him for me——

Take a closer look, no, it seems like an old acquaintance?
