Chapter 134 Killing three birds with one stone

"Nianci, look."

Gu Ping'an leaned close to Mu Nianci's ear and lowered his voice very low.

"What. What's wrong?"

Mu Nianci didn't expect him to get so close. She only felt a light warm breeze, her earlobe itched, and her breathing became unconsciously faster.

"Did the guards in the camp notice anything while patrolling the route?"

Gu Ping'an just realized that his action was really intimate. He pursed his lips and spoke again from a distance.

Mu Nianci calmed down, thought carefully, and tentatively said, "The defenses near the central army tent seem to be more relaxed than elsewhere."

"Indeed, although Pushan Anzhen will not inform the entire army about the replacement, he will definitely make some adjustments when arranging night patrols."

"you mean"

"We just need to find the most heavily guarded area in the camp. That's most likely where he's hiding."

Under the cover of night, the two men shuttled back and forth between the tents, observing carefully and memorizing the patrol routes of each team of guards.

This Pushan Anzhen really put a lot of thought into the layout, and the layout is ingenious. At first glance, except for the slightly loose defenses near the main tent, it is really hard to tell where the defenses are the tightest.

Even though Mu Nianci was extremely careful, it took her a whole incense stick of time to notice anything unusual.

"Look over there."

She pointed to an ordinary, inconspicuous tent and whispered.

"This isn't a major thoroughfare in the camp, but patrols circle back there every two teams. It seems unintentional, but it doesn't make sense."

Gu Ping'an concentrated on thinking back, and just as she said, the route was indeed a little abnormal.

"Go and have a look."

Avoiding a group of guards, the two approached quietly and found a secluded place to hide.

"This is it." Gu Ping'an said without hesitation, "Ten people in one tent. Listen to the snoring in the tent next to you, and then listen over here."

Upon hearing this, Mu Nianci listened attentively and then nodded.

It was obvious that only one person was sleeping in this tent, and his snoring was even, unlike the intermittent snoring in the other tents.

"You wait here, I'll do it."

Gu Ping'an gently patted the back of Mu Nianci's hand, nodded and chuckled, and while the guards were still far away, he slipped to the front of the tent.

The servant San Anzhen was really alert and even tied a bell to the door curtain. Although Gu Ping'an noticed it quickly, he still heard a slight sound.

The snoring on the camp bed stopped, the person was still lying face down, his hand had already reached under the pillow.

But that was all. With all his skills, he couldn't even get a chance to shout out loud.

In the dark tent, the Ziwei soft sword pierced through his back until the handle disappeared, nailing him to the camp bed.

The powerful internal force instantly shattered his internal organs. Before he could even touch the dagger for self-defense, he was already dead.

Gu Ping'an lit the tinder, moved closer, and confirmed that it was undoubtedly Pushan Anzhen.

The two of them were also destined to meet. Their first meeting at the Governor's Mansion was because of the Red Turban Army, and their meeting again now was still related to them.

However, the military commander and pacification envoy did not know until his death that the person who took his life was the "imperial envoy's guard" who had escorted the ransom with him and was highly skilled in martial arts.

With a flash of sword light, the head fell to the ground. Gu Ping'an tore off Pushan Anzhen's own robe, wrapped it up and tied it around his waist.

"Did you find the right one?"

When Mu Nianci saw a bloody cloth bag around his waist and a silver helmet in his hand, her face immediately showed joy.

She had seen that helmet from afar on the city wall. It was the one worn by the enemy leader on the day of the siege.

Gu Ping'an patted his silver helmet, nodded and smiled, then took her to the horse ranch in the camp.

Most of today's plan has been accomplished, with only one last goal left.

The two men passed through the camp, their figures flashing, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the stable.

Just as Yang Miaozhen had expected, there were only a few hundred war horses here, the rest not in the camp, apparently sent out to ambush Haizhou reinforcements. The two men each selected a warhorse, mounted it, and, relying on their superior martial arts skills, easily tamed it.

At this time, the Jin soldiers guarding the war horses had noticed it, and were shocked and hurriedly chased after them.

Gu Ping'an took out a firework, lit it, took a deep breath, gathered all his internal strength, and shouted loudly.

"Pusan Anzhen is already dead, why don't you surrender?"

"boom!"

Blue flames shot up into the sky and exploded in the air.

"The rocket is lighting up! It's a message from Young Master Gu!"

In Juzhou City, five thousand Red Jacket Army cavalry gathered inside the city gate. Yang Miaozhen, wearing armor and holding a gun, stood in front of the battle.

"what colour?"

"Blue! It's blue! It's done!"

The messenger on the city wall shouted, and Yang Miaozhen clenched his fist with one hand and swung it heavily in front of him.

"Brothers, Young Master Gu has killed Pushan Anzhen. The great deed has been accomplished. Follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!"

With a rumbling sound, several soldiers worked together to open the city gate, and the cavalry rushed out of the city and headed towards the Jin army camp.

Ten thousand infantrymen were left behind to guard against an attack on the city, and the rest of the Red Turban Army followed.

At the same time, Gu Ping'an's shout was heard for miles, and the sleeping Jin soldiers were suddenly awakened, causing chaos in the camp.

"Where is the Pacifier?"

"Quick! Go to the big tent and take a look!"

"If you're not in the big tent, come with me!"

As for Gu Ping'an and the other two, after delivering the message, they rode their horses and broke through the fence, cutting off torches along the way and setting fire to several barracks.

After leaving the camp, they found the direction and rushed towards Juzhou City.

It is not difficult to attack the enemy camp at night, but if you are surrounded by a large army, it is difficult to escape by relying on martial arts alone.

Fortunately, there were not many war horses left in the camp. After running for several miles, there were only a few hundred cavalrymen chasing them.

"almost."

Hearing the faint sound of a large group of people coming from the front, Gu Ping'an reined in his horse, turned around, and rushed back with his sword in hand.

The leader saw him turning back, so he whipped the horse's buttocks hard and thrust his spear forward fiercely.

He still didn't believe that his commander was dead, and was only thinking about capturing the thief and making a contribution. However, he overestimated his ability, and someone grabbed the gun barrel and he fell off his horse.

The cavalry following behind could not stop their momentum, and their horse hooves as big as bowls came down and stepped heavily on the man's heart.

Gu Ping'an didn't even look at it, but threw the spear he had snatched back. Mu Nianci raised her hand to take it, swung the spear in a flower, and knocked over the person in front of her.

The Jin soldiers had never seen such a master before. With just one spear and one sword, he killed them all and threw them to the ground.

The two men rushed all the way and killed a team of hundreds of cavalry.

Before they could fight any more, they suddenly heard the sound of a horn, and Yang Miaozhen also arrived with his troops and surrounded the group of pursuers.

The one next to her was the third eagle in today's plan.

"Young Master Gu, Miss Mu!"

Li Quan killed two Jin soldiers with his team. He looked up and saw Gu Ping'an and the other two. He kicked his horse and ran towards them.

"My brother"

Before he could finish his question, Gu Ping'an had already put on an anxious expression and shouted loudly.

"Follow me quickly! I couldn't save Brother Li in time on the road. He was shot by a hidden arrow by the enemy and fell off his horse. It seems he was captured!"

"Miaozhen! My elder brother is in danger!" Li Quan was shocked and shouted urgently.

Even a master like Gu Ping'an "found it difficult to escape" and was covered in blood. His brother's martial arts skills were far inferior, so wouldn't it be doubly dangerous?
