Chapter 443: Spy Shadow Xu Chen
King Qi, who was taken hostage by the bald man, saw the shadow guard headed by Xiao Ye walking forward without any scruples and couldn't help roaring: "What are you all doing?! Do you want me to die?!"
The bald man also said: "Yes! You all stand back! Back off! Otherwise, I'll hack him to death!"
Xiao Ye looked at King Qi and said with emotion: "Cousin, in order to put down the rebellion and wipe out the rebel bandits as soon as possible, I will definitely tell the emperor truthfully about his heroic deeds without fear of life and death. Didn't cousin always want to be the prince? When the time comes I will definitely let my uncle pursue my cousin as the first prince, don't worry, brother! Come and let someone shoot you!"
More than a dozen shadow guards set up their bows and shot arrows together, aiming at the bald headed master. Of course, King Qi was also aligning at the same time.
King Qi looked at the shadow guard with his bow and arrow, widened his eyes, and roared angrily: "Stop! I am the eldest son of the emperor, whoever dares to do anything against me is treason! Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, in terms of seniority, I am your elder brother Ah! You can't do this to me!"
Xiao Ye looked at King Qi, and said very sincerely: "Tang."
King Qi said anxiously: "Blood is thicker than water!"
Behind a hillside, Xu Qing, Long Bing'er, and two shadow guards stood here. This is the rear side of the bald man. The hand holding the knife and the round shiny head of the bald man are fully exposed.
The bald man was still swinging forward with his knife, and he was still confronting Xiao Ye who was directly in front of him and the dozens of shadow guards. A foot behind the bald man was the big tree beside the mountain road.
Long Binger looked at Xu Qing and said, "Give me a bow."
Xu Qing took the bow from the shadow guard and handed it to Long Binger, and then handed Long Binger an arrow.
Long Binger shook his head and said, "I want two."
Xu Qing handed Long Binger another arrow, and Long Binger put the two arrows on the bow, opened the bow to aim, and then found a time to ensure the safety of the hostages to the greatest extent, let go of the bowstring and shot the arrow .
Leaving the string, two arrows immediately flew towards the bald man, one arrow hit the bald man's hand, and the other hit his waist.
The bald man originally shrank behind King Qi, with the long knife in his hand pointing forward at Xiao Ye and the shadow guard, but now he was shot in his left hand with a sword, and the long knife in his hand suddenly fell out of his hand due to pain and fell to the ground.
Then another arrow shot in the waist and abdomen, making him lose his ability to react.
When Xiao Ye saw the bald man coming to the ground, he rushed up first, kicked King Qi away first, letting King Qi get out of the bald man's control range, and then controlled the bald man.
From the perspective of Xu Qing behind the hillside, Xiao Ye's kick was more or less personal...
If it wasn't for the shadow guard behind him, King Qi would have been kicked by that kick just now and rolled down the mountain.
The following situation can be said to be turbulent. The shadow guards killed half of the robbers and captured most of them alive.
Although these bandits are all good at digging holes, they are far from good at fighting.
It is not the opponent of Shadow Guard at all.
After clearing the bandits on the North Mountain, Xiao Ye planned to lead the crowd to pursue them, but the winding mountain roads in front of him stumped Xiao Ye.
These mountain roads lead to different directions, and some mountain roads are newly opened. Xiao Ye and the shadow guards really don't know where these mountain roads lead to.
Although the bandits on Funiu Mountain are mediocre in force, they are very good at digging rocks. These mountains have passed by their hands, which is very different from the road map given by the governor of Fengzhou, and there is little connection.
Xiao Ye and Xu Qing compared the route map given by the governor of Fengzhou together, looking at these mountain roads, trying to identify the route.
Long Bing'er didn't have the heart to understand this, she just stood beside Xu Qing and peeled off the candy wrapper, and put a big white rabbit toffee into her mouth.
At this moment, a shadow guard suddenly said: "Who is it!"
As he spoke, he drew out his knife and pointed it at the man.
I saw a man dressed in a Confucian robe, holding a feather fan, and dressed as a counselor came out, looked at Xu Qing and Xiao Ye cupped fist and said: "Xu Chen, the spy shadow, has met the three commanders and His Royal Highness."
The shadow guards are divided into five guards, and the first guard of the shadow guards is in charge of spying, so the first guard of the shadow guards is also called the spy shadow, and they hold the intelligence network all over the three kingdoms of the Central Plains.
Of course, all over the Three Kingdoms is just saying that, and the main battlefield of the Shadow Guards is Chu State.
Although King Xian really wanted to build an all-knowing intelligence network that spread across the Three Kingdoms, but the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny.
Only a very small number of shadow guards can hide in foreign countries without being discovered, and steal information, and because they are located in a foreign country, the transmission of messages is slow and the cost is high. There are only a handful of useful information obtained.
When King Xian discovered this problem, he returned Yiwei's main battlefield to Chu State.
In the aristocratic families of the Chu state, and in the mansions of high-ranking officials, there might be spies lurking there disguised as servants, monitoring their every move for the virtuous king.
Well, it’s also about being poor.
The intelligence network covering the three kingdoms cost too much, and the court couldn't afford it, so they had no choice but to cancel it. Although there were spies left in Zhou and Zhao, they were streamlined repeatedly, and it can be said that there are only a handful of them.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Chen curiously and said, "One of the guards? How do you prove it?"
Xu Chen took out a token and said: "Report to the three commanders, this is the token of the subordinate."
A shadow guard took the token and handed it to Xu Qing. Xu Qing looked around and found that it was indeed the token of a guard. The identity of this person did not seem to be faked.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Chen's token, and Xu Chen said: "Three months ago, my subordinates were ordered by the prince to lurk on Funiu Mountain for today."
Xu Qing looked at Xu Chen and asked, "Since you are lurking here, do you know where these mountain roads lead?"
Xu Chen nodded and said: "These subordinates have gained the trust of the leader during these days on the mountain, and have scoured around to draw a topographic map of the road in the mountain, just waiting for the commander to come. However, the mechanism changes on the way up the mountain are unpredictable. The next cannot be calculated together, but fortunately the army is safe."
Isn't it elusive? They can't understand it themselves, so it's hard for Xu Chen.
Xu Chen handed over the precise topographic map that he had surveyed and drawn in his arms, and it was still handed over by the shadow guard.
Seeing such a detailed drawing, Xu Qing and Xiao Ye admired Xu Chen's ability to handle affairs in their hearts.
Xiao Ye took the topographic map, the shadow guards, and the forbidden army who rushed out from Dongshan Mountain to suppress the bandits next to the mountain.
Xu Qing, Long Bing'er, and Xu Chen stayed where they were and did not follow to suppress the bandits.
Long Bing'er was sitting on a big rock under a tree eating candy.
She has put in a lot of effort today, so she should eat a few more candies to reward herself.
Xu Qing on the side looked at Xu Shen in front of him and said, "Your mission shouldn't be simply lurking in the cottage and drawing some topographic maps to help suppress the bandits, right?"
