"What are you doing?" The Beiyang New Army soldier, known as Liu Xiaobian, raised the Mauser rifle in his hand and scolded carelessly. He looked at his military rank as a second lieutenant, and he should be the platoon leader guarding the city gate.

Wang Jianchuan was wearing a mourning clothes made of white linen, and walked forward with a sad look on his face and said, "June, have you seen it? We are the team to send the funeral?"

Liu Xiaobian looked up and down at Wang Jianchuan and asked, "I care whether you are sending you or not. Now the whole city of Jingzhou City is martial law, and idle people cannot enter. I think you are very suspicious, so you are not allowed to enter the city!"

Wang Jianchuan cried and begged: "No, Junchuan, I was originally from Jingzhou, but I have been doing business with my parents all year round, so Junchuan looked at me and died. Not long ago, my parents died, so I brought the bodies of two parents to the roots and returned to my roots!" Wang Jianchuan said as he leaned over to Liu Xiaobian and secretly handed him a few ingots of silver from under his clothes.

Liu Xiaobian immediately smiled happily and said, "I'll say it earlier! Alas, this guest died in a foreign land, and it's understandable that the fallen leaves return to their roots. Well, go in!"

Wang Jianchuan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you Jun, thank you Jun!" After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the mourning crowd to drive the carriage and go in.

At this time, the soldier who had just talked to Liu Xiaobian came to his ear and whispered: "Brother Liu, this has been investigated recently. It would be better to just let them in like this. If the superiors blame him, all of our brothers guarding the gate will suffer!"

Liu Xiaobian measured it in his heart, yes! This money is small, this head is big! He immediately scolded Wang Jianchuan and others: "Stop, you can go in, but we still have to search according to the rules!"

Wang Jianchuan, who was leading the way, stopped and forced a smile to squeeze out a smile. He cooperated with the funeral team to stand in a row: "All stand up, let the Junye search!"

Liu Xiaobian was very satisfied with Wang Jianchuan's good cooperation attitude. He smiled and nodded and asked someone to search casually. After searching everyone's bodies, a soldier asked: "Brother Liu, should I open this coffin and check it!"

Liu Xiaobian stepped on the gun diagonally and said, "Yes, of course, have you never seen a dead person?"

When Wang Jianchuan heard this, his face immediately changed and he stepped forward and said, "Oh, Jun Ye, you can't be disrespectful to the dead!"

"Damn it, what disrespect is, we are just doing routine, we are either doing anything, just opening the coffin to take a look, and we won't touch your parents' bodies. You guys, hurry up, pry open the coffin board for me!" Liu Xiaobian scolded.

"No, Jun Ye!" Wang Jianchuan hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "My parents died after being infected with the plague in another place. The journey is long, and now the body is a little stinky. I am afraid that the Jun Ye will be intoxicated!"

When Liu Xiaobian heard this, she smelled it carefully and indeed smelled a faint stench. So she quickly covered her nose and jumped a few meters away, cursing: "You stinky brat, the corpse of the plague? Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Several other soldiers holding crowbars were shocked when they heard that they had plague corpses, and immediately threw the crowbar in their hands and hid far away.

Wang Jianchuan stepped forward again and stuffed a few ingots of silver and smiled and said, "Didn't the military master have not had time to let me say this?"

Liu Xiaobian accepted the silver without leaving any trace, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, no need to check, go in!"

Wang Jianchuan immediately nodded and bowed his hand to thank him, and hurriedly led the mourning team to Jingzhou City.

After the mourning team left, Liu Xiaopin fanned the air in front of him in disgust and said proudly to the soldiers guarding the gate: "Brothers, I'll treat you to Chunxianlou tonight, everyone can drink happily!"

A few soldiers who had just complained in the morning immediately smiled happily and surrounded Liu Xiaobian and showed their attentiveness. They did not notice that the traces of the ruts of the carriage they had just walked by were much deeper than usual.

In the afternoon, the sky above Jingzhou City suddenly became dark clouds. After a moment, the pouring rain enveloped the entire Jingzhou City in a hazy rain.

Since the curfew was imposed in Jingzhou City, at night, there was basically no one on the entire street, except for the Beiyang New Army who occasionally patrolled by.

Under such heavy rainy weather, there are people who will see the streets of Jingzhou City, and the Beiyang New Army, which is routinely patrolling, does not know where to hide from the rain.

Suddenly, several figures flashed in the rain, and only one of them heard asked: "Captain He, has Ma Rushan's Second Company entered the city?"

He Shan replied: "He has come in. They are now lurking near the Beiyang New Army Arsenal in the east of the city!"

"Okay, okay, now I will immediately take people to distribute the weapons and equipment in the coffin to each team member, so that the team members scattered in various places in the city will immediately arrive at the arsenal in the east of the city. Haha, today it was really a helping me, it rained so heavily!"

"Yes, with this rain, not only will our movement be more convenient, but the warships of the Beiyang Fleet have arrived safely on the river near Jingzhou!" He Shan said.

Wang Jianchuan nodded and ordered: "After all the lone wolf team members enter their position, don't act rashly. At that time, use my gunshots as a signal to destroy the arsenal in Jingzhou City, and then go straight to Wang Shizhen's mansion and capture Wang Shizhen alive!"

After Wang Jianchuan gave the order, several team leaders led by He Shan began to take advantage of the night and rain to touch the established meeting place.

At night, Wang Shizhen suddenly felt extremely depressed in the mansion for no reason. I don’t know if it was because of the sudden heavy rain or because of the war situation in Anqing. This depressed mood continued until he had no intention of sharing with the most beautiful prostitute in Jingzhou City.

Wang Shizhen left the famous prostitute who was showing her infinite spring light on the bed, came to his command center, found the adjutant, and asked, "Is there anything special about it recently?"

It seems that the adjutant went somewhere just now, and the buttons on the military uniform were not buttoned. When he heard Wang Shizhen ask himself, the adjutant recalled for a while and replied: "No, nothing unusual!"

"Really not?" Wang Shizhen asked, but why did he always feel a little uneasy, as if there were more than 100,000 ants crawling around inside, "Think about it!"

The adjutant rolled his eyes, recalled for a while, and said, "It's true that there isn't. Everything has been normal lately!"

Seeing that the inquiry was fruitless, Wang Shizhen walked back and forth in the command center irritably, thinking hard about what was wrong recently.

"Oh, by the way!" The adjutant slapped his head, as if he had remembered something, and said, "It seems that there are several funeral teams entering the city from morning to night!"

Wang Shizhen seized the clues and said anxiously: "What funeral team?"

The adjutant explained: "Oh, that's right. When the city gate was opened in the morning, a platoon leader guarding the south gate told me that a funeral team had taken two coffins into the city, saying that the locals here died in a foreign land and were sent back to their roots."

"Then have they opened a coffin inspection?" Wang Shizhen asked, how could so many funeral teams enter the city for no reason? There must be something strange about it.

"This, this..." the adjutant hesitated and said nothing.

"Tell me quickly! Is there any?" Wang Shizhen looked angry.

At this moment, a lightning flashed suddenly in the night sky, followed by a muffled thunder sounded, which made people frightened.

Seeing that Wang Shizhen had already gotten angry and did not dare to hide it, the adjutant said truthfully: "Because I heard from the funeral that the people in the coffin died of plague, and the bodies were already stinking. They were afraid of being infected with plague, so they did not unbox the box for inspection!"

"Bastard!" Wang Shizhen said angrily, "Didn't I have ordered the entire army to carefully search any personnel and any items entering and leaving the city? I don't open such a big thing to check. Now you have heard of where there is a plague? The fart plague is clearly spies from the south. Go and take me a few soldiers guarding the gate up to me, and I want to ask them carefully!"

"Yes, yes!" The adjutant realized the seriousness of the matter. It was indeed unusual for so many funeral teams who said they were infected with the plague to enter the city in one day.

However, before the adjutant walked out of the command center, a dull gunshot suddenly came from the rain curtain.

Wang Shizhen turned her head and asked, "What's the sound?"

The adjutant replied with a sad face: "Okay...it seems to be a gunshot!"

Wang Shizhen put his kick on the butt of the adjutant and cursed: "I'm going to order officers at all levels to prepare for war, and spies from the southern rebels have sneaked into the city!"

The adjutant rolled and crawled down quickly to convey Wang Shizhen's order.

At this moment, a huge sound of shelling suddenly sounded on the river surface. It was the Beiyang Fleet! Wang Shizhen thought.

Oh no, it was indeed a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

First, he feinted an attack on Anqing, and asked Jingzhou, which was heavily guarded, to distribute some troops to assist Anqing. Then, taking advantage of the weakening of the guards in the city, he sent spies to sneak into Jingzhou City. He wanted to work together inside and outside to eat Jingzhou in one bite! Wang Shizhen said intimately.

Wang Shizhen was not a flaw in his position today. He still had some real skills and analyzed the ins and outs of things clearly in just a few minutes.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to eat me in one bite!" Wang Shizhen snorted coldly.

It is natural for Wang Shizhen to be so confident. He had already arranged 10,000 elite troops in Jingzhou City, and two regiments of troops were arranged in the arsenal alone. From the news just now, the southern rebels who had been confused into the city had no more than 300 people. Therefore, Wang Shizhen was confident that the southern rebels on the south bank could annihilate the spies in the city before they arrived!

Although Jingzhou transferred more than 10,000 people to support Anqing, Jingzhou still had more than 40,000 new troops. Relying on the ancient city walls of Jingzhou and all the troops in Jingzhou, Tang Jian's rebels could not successfully capture Jingzhou City without ten days and half a month.

However, in less than ten days or half a month, Russian reinforcements will arrive! At that time, the situation of the offensive and defensive sides will be reversed, and Wang Shizhen said in his heart.

"Immediately send me orders to the two regiments guarding the arsenal to annihilate the spies on the spot!" Wang Shizhen said with a grim smile.
