Chapter 27 A hundred secrets and one sparse
After eating and drinking, the two paid and left, planning to travel overnight.
Before the two men could untie the reins, the old wolf suddenly looked strange.
"What's going on here?"
Seeing him hunched over, holding his stomach with his hands, and looking in unbearable pain, Gu Ping'an couldn't help but ask.
The old wolf raised a hand, his face slightly embarrassed. "I have an old problem. Maybe I ate too much just now. I think I need to go to the bathroom now."
No wonder he is so thin despite being such a big eater.
Gu Ping'an almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and shook his head helplessly: "Just go, I'll wait for you here."
"I'll come as soon as I go."
After the old wolf finished speaking, he hurriedly dropped the reins and went around to the back of the yard to look for a toilet.
Gu Ping'an watched him run away in a panic, but he was not anxious and waited patiently.
Before long, a small stone suddenly flew from not far away and rolled gently to his feet.
"Who?"
Gu Ping'an looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure poking his head out from the corner of the street.
The man seemed to have come just to look for Gu Ping'an. He did not flee after being discovered, but instead waved at him.
Gu Pingan was puzzled, but he remained silent and walked forward slowly.
Not knowing the other party's intentions, he had secretly been on guard and had sufficient luck, so he could withdraw at any time if the situation changed.
The man really had no ill intentions. He walked out from behind the wall and raised his hands to signal.
"Young Master Gu!"
When he called him that, Gu Ping'an had some guesses in his mind.
The Red Turbans don't have to be sneaky if they want to see me. Anyone who calls me like that might be a Jin soldier.
Sure enough, when he approached, the man immediately showed a somewhat ingratiating smile.
"I am Wang San'er, a personal soldier under the command of Juzhou Governor Pushan Anzhen."
Gu Ping'an's eyes widened immediately, revealing a look of surprise: "Are you under Lord Pushan's command? I need his help with something important!"
"Young man, please be patient. I already know that the imperial envoy was captured today."
Before he could finish, Gu Ping'an anxiously interrupted, "Do you know? Could it be that Master Pushan is nearby? Then why don't you help him?"
Wang Saner quickly waved his hand and said, "Young man, you misunderstood. I was actually assigned by the Lord to infiltrate the bandit army as a spy."
Seeing Gu Ping'an's puzzled expression, he continued to explain.
"The gang of thieves who blocked the road today weren't bandits, but a band of righteous bandits roaming around Shandong Road, known as the 'Red Coat Army.' Their leader wasn't that bald man, but the woman you sparred with your wife."
"Tell me in detail." Gu Ping'an frowned.
"I suspect their target today was the Imperial Envoy from the very beginning. However, the incident happened suddenly, and they didn't disclose it in advance, so I couldn't warn them in advance."
Gu Ping'an was really nervous at this moment.
Their plan of "taking advantage of the fire to rob" was ultimately flawed, and they did not expect that there would be a Jin spy among the elite troops they brought.
If the news gets out, it will be a disaster for the Red Turban Army in Moqi Mountain!
"Then how did they know the whereabouts of the delegation?"
"I don't know either. I only know that they returned last night, hurriedly gathered their men, and rushed here early this morning."
"Thanks to you." Gu Ping'an said perfunctorily, secretly thinking about how to deal with it.
"I have a plan for the matter of the Imperial Envoy." Seeing that he could not hide his sorrow, Wang Saner thought that he was really worried about Yang Kang, and said again.
Gu Ping'an's eyes lit up: "Tell me about it!"
"Young man, you have returned to Juzhou this time. Come with me to meet the governor. As a famous general of the time, you have been paying attention to this Red Coat Army for a long time. It's a pity that you don't have the military power for the time being." He vaguely heard footsteps and immediately stopped to observe. After confirming that it was not Lao Lang, he continued.
"Now that the Imperial Envoy has been captured, you can lead the troops to fight under the pretext of rescuing them. When they become chaotic, the young hero and I will work together inside and outside to rescue the Imperial Envoy and his wife!"
He spoke with saliva flying and his eyes shining, as if he had already seen the scene of promotion and wealth after the success.
"This plan is brilliant, brilliant," Gu Ping'an nodded repeatedly, and asked as if it was just a casual mention, "How many of our brothers are still in the Red Coat Army?"
Wang Saner just thought he was an excellent helper in his path to promotion, so he didn't doubt it and answered honestly.
"Lord Pushan sent five men in total, one of whom died before he could even get in. The other three were just ordinary soldiers, qualified to know some secrets. I am the only one participating in this operation."
He looked very proud, as if he was trying to take credit from Gu Ping'an.
Hearing him say this, Gu Ping'an felt relieved instantly.
The sound of footsteps came again from behind the yard, and Wang Saner immediately became alert.
"Young Master Gu, I need to go back and continue hiding. I hope you can say a few kind words to the master."
He gave a hurried instruction and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, a gust of wind came from behind his head, and Gu Ping'an chopped him hard on the "Yamen acupoint" on the back of his head with a knife.
"you"
He turned his head with the last bit of consciousness, his eyes wide open, and then he fell limply to the ground.
"Brother Gu," Old Wolf said, letting loose, feeling refreshed, he walked over quickly and happened to see this scene. "What are you doing?"
Gu Ping'an vaguely smelled the remaining scent on his body, frowned, and threw the unconscious Wang Saner over.
"Brother Wolf, take a look. Do you recognize this person?"
"Wang Saner?"
The old wolf caught the man, took a closer look, and was stunned.
He blinked blankly and asked in confusion, "Why is he here?"
"Why are you here?" Gu Pingan rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "A spy!"
"This"
This news was beyond Laolang's expectations, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"He was sent by the Jin people?"
"Yeah," Gu Ping'an nodded, "Luckily he didn't see us having dinner just now. If he had arrived earlier, I'm afraid the entire Red Coat Army would have been finished."
After hearing what he said, the old wolf was shocked.
Wang Saner is really a ruthless man. He has only been in the Red Turban Army for a year, but he always charges into the front. He has taken the lives of at least eight out of ten Jin soldiers under his command. He really will do anything to get to the top.
It was precisely because of his bravery in killing the enemy that he gained trust and was qualified to participate in the operation of kidnapping the imperial envoy.
"There were five spies in total, all sent by Juzhou Governor Pushan Anzhen. One died, leaving three others. Fortunately, they didn't come this time."
Gu Pingan spoke briefly and gave a general overview of the situation.
"That's good." Old Wolf breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a smart man and naturally knew how serious the consequences would be if the news leaked.
They really didn't expect that among the hundreds of carefully selected people, there would actually be a Jin spy among them.
This is really a loophole.
"Young Master Gu, you are so kind to me. I will never forget you!"
As the old wolf spoke, he knelt down with a thud.
"If you hadn't caught this spy, I'm afraid the Red Coat Army would have been..."
The time for the first chapter is wrong. I will update it on time from now on.
