Chapter 195 A sleepless night!
Hu Chen and Chang Sheng had a conversation on the city wall at the east gate of Mancheng.

Suddenly!

Changsheng looked eastward into the dense darkness in the distance and vaguely saw a horse galloping towards Mancheng!

At this hour, the moon was dim and Changsheng drank a lot of wine. He felt melancholy and thought he was drunk and had dazzled eyes.

So he rubbed his eyes and looked again!

I saw the horse galloping away, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to the city!

"Boss!"

"Yes, there is someone!"

"It seems like there's a lone scout outside the city heading this way!"

Changsheng was panicked, and quickly reached down to pull Huchen to see!
Hearing the boy's words, Hu Chen was also startled. He quickly stood up and turned around to take a look.

Look at these two people again.

"Oh? Look at this figure, it seems to be the Second Master Liu beside General Xiao!" Hu Chen asserted.

"Liu, Liu Er."

"Come here, come here!"

"That's right! Captain, it really is Mr. Liu!"

The galloping horse pierced through the darkness and was gradually approaching the door. Zhou Changsheng pried open his eyes to make sure.

After seeing who was coming, Hu Chen, who was standing nearby, also turned around and ran to the side of the city, leaned out and shouted to the people below!

"Open the gate! Open the city gate quickly!"

"The scouts are coming! Quick!"

The tiger minister's voice was like a loud bell, and when he roared, the gatekeepers below trembled all over again, and hurriedly acted according to the order. Two or three people ran into the doorway at the same time, and the heavy door creaked and crackled, and opened to the left and right sides of the inner room.

As the door gradually opened, Master Liu rode his horse alone and approached the city gate. He did not slow down at all. He leaped forward and quickly passed through the crack in the door and entered the city!
"Haha! Good skills!"

"Changsheng, let's go down and meet them. It's so fast, maybe there's intelligence coming from the north!"

"Come on!"

Watching Master Liu entering the city from the top of Huchen City, he could no longer contain his excitement. He shouted Zhou Changsheng and rushed down from the side path.

The group of two people had just walked halfway up the path when Master Liu, from below, also took big strides and ran up quickly!

Deng Deng Deng!
Meet in front of the stone steps on the upper and lower sides.

"Hahaha"

"Master Liu is here!"

"Has the general received any intelligence from the north?!"

"Where are the enemies?!" Hu Chen laughed loudly, grinning and greeting Mr. Liu Erye.

"Haha, General Li has good intentions!"

"The conclusion is correct. There is indeed news from the north!"

As he spoke, Master Liu raised his eyes and bowed to greet him!

Seeing the situation, Hu Chen and Chang Sheng behind him also returned the greeting.

"Captain Li, the general just received a tip from Qi Gang in Baoding Prefecture!"

"Li Zicheng's defeated troops have reached Yi County, about a hundred miles away!"

"The general said that the enemy's fleeing troops should be mainly cavalry, so they are very fast!"

"I hope the commander will make preparations early and beware of sneak attacks by bandits!"

"Also, the general has ordered you to follow the plan and not act rashly!"

After giving the order, Mr. Liu put it down casually.

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, Hu Chen returned respectfully.

"Captain, I have brought you the detailed information!"

"May I ask if there is anything unprepared in the city right now?"

"Or maybe you have any other questions or requests that I need to take back to the general?!"

"If so, tell me the whole story as soon as possible!"

"I won't stay any longer. I will go back and report, and tell the general everything!" Master Liu asked thoughtfully.

"Hahaha"

"Everything in the city has been arranged according to plan. Now, we just have to wait for the enemy troops to arrive!"

"Master Liu, go back and tell the general!"

"As long as Hu Chen is here in Mancheng, he can rest assured!" Hu Chen said proudly.

"Hahaha! Got it!"

"The commander is mighty!"

"I was overthinking it!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely pass on this message!"

"If there is nothing else, I will return now!"

After finishing his words, Mr. Liu bowed solemnly again.

"Please!" Hu Chen did not hesitate. As the two sides clasped their hands, Hu Chen eagerly escorted Mr. Liu down the hall.

When he reached the doorway, Master Liu jumped up, got back on his horse, and looked back.

"Captain Li, we'll see you at the celebration in Baoding!"

"Goodbye!" Mr. Liu admired each other as heroes and said good things to himself, take care.

"Sure! Sure!" Hu Chen said goodbye sincerely.

"Gee!" After saying that, Master Liu did not stop and rode back to Baoding on his horse!

Hu Chen looked at the man on horseback and saw him riding away. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and turned to Zhou Changsheng beside him.

"Changsheng, quickly go to the city and pass on my military order!"

"Damn it, I've been waiting for so long! Finally here!"

"Pass the order down, no one can sleep tonight!"

"Catch all these bastards!"

"The entire army is on standby!"

"The soldiers guarding the city walls and gates will work in shifts. Those on duty, open your eyes!"

"Then I'll go around and check it out!"

"I don't care if you slack off or play tricks all the time!"

"At this time of war, if anyone dares to be slow to follow orders and slack off."

"Humph!"

"Don't blame me for being merciless with the whip in my hand!"

"Go quickly!"

"Tell them all to cheer up!" Hu Chen ordered sternly.

"Yes!" Changsheng also bowed and shouted back.

After he finished speaking, he took a few people with him and ordered them to spread out and pass the message!
A sleepless night!

The hat is blown by the dark night wind!
In a blink of an eye, it was already the early morning of May 6th.

The southeast wind starts at midnight and becomes stronger in the early morning!

The sky gradually turned pale!
At this moment, in front of the north gate of Baoding Prefecture, on the city wall.

Xiao Lang, Zhizhong, Changting, Peizhong and others sat together on the stone steps in front of the city wall.

Amid the howling wind, Xiao Lang and his companions took shelter from the wind with their legs spread apart.

Beside them, Master Liu and Death Star were also taking a nap against the pillars at the back.

Gudong!

Xiao Lang opened the lid of the wine jug and took a sip!
Then he passed it to Zhizhong on the side.

But Zhizhong seemed to have no intention of accepting it at the moment, so he was stunned for a moment and shook his head to refuse.

Seeing this, Xiao Lang smiled bitterly without saying a word, screwed the lid on the wine jug and threw it into Peizhong's arms who was standing next to him.

"Haha, drink some, drink some!"

"It can drive away the cold and at least help to refresh yourself!" Xiao Lang said.

Now, several people are sitting here, having endured the whole night!

They were all wearing armor, and even though they took turns on duty and took naps, they all looked very tired!
After Peizhong took the wine jug, he also took two small sips.

After drinking, don't turn your head and speak in a low voice.

"General!"

"We don't know when the enemy will arrive!"

"It was dark last night, and you were afraid of a surprise attack from the bandits, so we stayed here!"

"Now that the sky is bright and visibility is up, just keep an eye on it here!"

"Take Master Qiu and go downstairs to have some rest first!"

"No, leave Changting to me!"

"It's the same if you ask him to report any disturbance immediately!" Peizhong said considerately.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan smiled and looked at Zhizhong who was standing beside him.

"Hey!"

"Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), can you still bear it?!"

"No, don't force yourself. Go down and rest first!"

"If we fight, it will be the same even if I yell at you again!" Xiao Lang said with a hint of teasing.

Upon hearing this, Zhizhong was speechless. He straightened his body and tried to cheer himself up.

"I'm fine!"

"If you can bear it, I can bear it too!"

"Lao Xiao, if you can't do this, get down and stop talking about me!" Zhizhong rolled his eyes and retorted!
