Chapter 169: Encounter by chance
Chapter 169 Meeting an old friend by chance
In the desolate and dilapidated Lanling County, most places are eerily quiet, only a few places where a large number of rebels gather still have a bit of noisy and lively human fireworks.
Ye Anlan and the others who rushed over quickly hid their horses and have been observing the gates, walls and defenders of Lanling County.
Lanling County has existed for a long time, and has changed hands several times. Today's city walls are already old and dilapidated.
The city gate is new, but it is obvious that the people who repaired the city gate did not pay much attention. The thickness of the gate is not half of what Ye Anlan remembered as the county gate.
Ye Anlan was stunned, "These rebels won't patronize themselves to enjoy themselves? Now that the city has been occupied, shouldn't the most basic fortifications be properly laid out?"
Wen Liuniang understood the real situation of those rebels quite well, she said to Ye Anlan: "Most of the rebels active in various places today are small people who took advantage of the troubled times and rose up. The awareness that the common people are resting and recuperating in order to make a big plan."
Ye Anlan thinks about it too.
Little common people, even if they suddenly have power and soldiers in their hands, they still want to eat and drink well and enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Those who really have the consciousness, ability, and luck to climb from the grassroots all the way to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme are quite rare, and there will never be one in every two or three counties. great person.
"Let's go, let's walk around first, step on it." After seeing the city gate, Ye Anlan took Yang Xiaotao and Wen Liuniang, who had also been disguised in disguise, with a basket on their shoulders, pretending to be looking for wild vegetables everywhere, and walked around. Walk around the city wall of Lanling County for half a circle.
After finding a suitable place to climb, Ye Anlan and the others wandered away again.
The three of them hid in the woods until midnight, and then Ye Anlan took her two helpers and went back to the city wall.
The section of the city wall she selected was severely damaged, and there were many potholes left by wind, rain and war. It was very suitable for Ye Anlan to borrow strength and settle down during the climbing process.
Relying on her own internal strength and lightness skills, Ye Anlan first climbed up the mottled city wall like a gecko, and then used the claws connected to the long rope to grab Yang Xiaotao and Wen Liu. The mothers were all dragged up the wall.
The three bypassed the sleeping rebels, and quietly entered the dark and silent city of Lanling County, which was as silent as a huge tomb.
They walked silently through the streets and alleys of Lanling County, passing through the dilapidated ordinary residential areas, the desolate original commercial areas, and went straight to the noble and rich areas with the most luxurious buildings in the entire county.
Now it is no longer the place where the nobles and rich people lived in the county seat. All the mansions there have been strongly occupied by the rebels.
The closer they got to that side, the more rebels came out to patrol the night, but Ye Anlan and the others insisted on relying on their skills and five senses to avoid all the listless rebel squads that came out to patrol.
After arriving at the destination without any risk, the three of them jumped over the wall and entered the largest and best house here.
Then they met another group who came one step earlier_(:з」∠)_
The two groups of people were all dressed in black, and without exception, all of their faces were covered with cloth towels to cover their faces. As soon as they met, the two groups immediately realized that the group opposite was also here to cause trouble.
In the silent night with only faint starlight, they can only vaguely see each other's clothing. As for whether the visitor is an enemy or a friend. This kind of difficult problem is not that they can just take a look at each other in a dark situation. identified.
Ye Anlan raised her hand, and Yang Xiaotao and Wen Liuniang stopped behind her at the same time.
The three of them didn't speak immediately, but just silently looked at the group of people on the opposite side with guarded faces.
The group of people on the opposite side were also silent, only the young man in the lead quickly looked at Ye Anlan and the others through the starlight.
I don't know what he observed, anyway, after looking at Ye Anlan and the three of them, the leading young man stretched out his hand and pulled off the cloth scarf on his face.
He bowed his hands to Ye Anlan and saluted the three of them, "Hello, three knights. I'm Xie Yuan. I don't intend to be enemies with you. I'm here just to eradicate the people."
"Ah!" In the middle of his words, Ye Anlan suddenly patted her thigh in shock. Fortunately, she still remembered that she couldn't raise her voice -_-||, "I just said that I look familiar!"
Xie Yuan:? ? ?
Ye Anlan pulled off the cloth scarf covering her face, "I'm Ye Anlan! Ye Anlan who has taken your martial arts secret book!"
Xie Yuan:!
"Miss Ye! It's Miss Ye!" Before Xie Yuan could speak, a man in black behind him pulled off the cloth covering his face, "Master, it's Miss Ye!"
"Yeah." The young man he called "Young Master" reached out and took off the cloth towel covering his face, and smiled at Ye Anlan under the dim starlight, "Miss Ye, long time no see."
Ye Anlan: (ΩДΩ)
Ye Anlan only felt that her heart seemed to make a very sudden "dong" sound, and she subconsciously raised her hand to stroke her heart, "Ah Jing. Chang'an."
These are two names that she hasn't said for a long time, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of unfamiliarity or unaccustomed to them.
Xie Yuan was extremely surprised, "What? You know each other?"
Li Jing nodded, "Our master and servant had the honor to walk with Miss Ye's team for a while."
Xie Yuan was even more surprised, "The little girl has also pulled up a team now?"
Ye Anlan is not used to talking furtively with her voice suppressed all the time, and to be honest, she is in a hurry_(:з」∠)_
She asked Xie Yuan, "You are also here to kill people? How about we get down to business first?"
Xie Yuan: ".So, you are also here to kill people? Why are there only three of you?"
Ye Anlan shrugged, "I don't intend to take over Lanling County." She just came here to eliminate future troubles.
Xie Yuan: "...Then as you said, I will let people do the business first."
With a wave of his hand, another young man behind him immediately left with everyone except Xie Yuan, Li Jing, and Chang An.
Ye Anlan:? ? ? what's going on?
Xie Yuan smiled slightly at her, "It's rare to meet an old friend, why don't we find a place to chat for a while?"
Ye Anlan: So, in the final analysis, you still want to get out of business, so let’s take a break first _(:з」∠)_
She thought for a while, and then untied a firmly sewn coarse cloth bag from her waist, "Changan, take these to them."
Changan's eyes lit up, "Yes!"
Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this the various medicines you have researched?"
Ye Anlan nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come to Lanling County with just the two of them for the assassination."
Xie Yuan smiled, "You all come with me."
