The west gate of Dengzhou City.

According to Sun Yuanhua's order, Zhang Tao was sending people to lift the "defeated soldiers" outside the city one by one and arrange for manpower to screen.

Of course, Zhang Tao could not accomplish these things by himself. He had more than 6,000 people under his command, and it was impossible for him to know each of them. He could only know some major generals. Even the General Manager of the Hundred, he could not recognize them, let alone these big-headed soldiers.

As everyone in front was hung up, Bai Mulin, who pretended to be a "defeated soldier", couldn't help but feel nervous.

Although he had analyzed before that the possibility of success in this plan was very high, he was just a seventeen-year-old boy after all. He saw all the ways of doing these soldiers. He really killed people without blinking. Once any mistakes occur, he may be directly cut by a knife. How could he not be nervous?

And they are now under the city wall. After they are allowed to pass through the moat, the suspension bridge is raised again, and even if they want to escape, they will have no chance.

There was no way to see the situation above the city wall under the city. He didn't know what the soldiers who were going up front were doing, and he was mentally up and down.

Soon, it was his turn, and Kong Youde's two personal soldiers were also on the way up with him.

What he said was to protect him. But Bai Mulin was not a fool, and knew that it was to monitor him. Once he had any abnormal actions, such as rumoring to the Ming army, he would directly kill him.

Before leaving, in order to get in smoothly, Bai Mulin changed into the clothes of the defeated army and specially made some soil and blood on his face, looking like an ordinary defeated army.

But soon, the hanging basket was pulled onto the city wall, with more than 200 soldiers standing on the city wall. Except for more than 30 "defeated soldiers" like Bai Mulin, the rest were all the men who escaped from Zhang Tao.

They had washed up, so they were quite easy to identify. They got off the hanging basket, and there was a low-ranking officer in front of them, holding a notebook and asking, "Name, hometown, what part?"

Wang Zilin immediately felt cold sweat. He spoke the accent of Beizhili, both from Shandong accent and Liaodong accent, and this opening was intended to reveal the content.

Just when he was struggling with what to do, a personal soldier next to him stood up and said, "Sir, we three are brothers, all from Gaizhou Wei. My name is Zhang Chaofu. This is my younger brother Zhang Chaofu, this is my younger brother Zhang Chaogui. We were both subordinates of General Qiang Liu Futong before."

The officer looked at the three of them and said in confusion, "I can still see that you and Zhang Chaofu are brothers. He doesn't look like you at all. Do you want to fool me?"

"Sir, that's right. My third brother was born by my stepmother, that is, my father's concubine, so he doesn't look very much like us. We finally escaped from the rebels. You can't let us go back and die."

Zhang Chaofu said hurriedly, then took out a silver from his clothes and stuffed it into the officer's hands. "Sir, you have to be busy with these things in this cold day. It's not good to be frozen. This is my little wish of brother. Where can you buy some wine to warm your body?"

At the officer's instructions, the soldiers next to them walked forward and searched the three of them to check whether there were weapons, letters, etc., and whether there were any other silver coins on them.

The officer weighed the silver in his hand, which was heavy, and probably looked like ten taels. And they didn't find any extra silver on them. They were very satisfied. "Because you are so good at being a human being, I won't bother with you. Go there and wait. Remember, don't run around. Don't blame me for being beaten to death as a spy when the time comes."

Bai Mulin was so scared that he was covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, Zhang Chaofu was smart, otherwise he might have been exposed. After coming over, he was very sensible and did not speak out. He followed Zhang Chaofu and Zhang Chaofu to the place where the "defeat soldiers" were gathered.

Soon, fifty people were gathered together, and under Zhao Tao's order, they were taken to the barracks northeast of Dengzhou City.

After arriving at the barracks, the fifty people were placed separately, with ten people in a small team, placed in a military tent.

Bai Mulin did nothing in the camp, and practiced in his heart how to convince Geng Zhongming. Slowly, night fell, and both sides became quiet inside and outside Dengzhou City. Neither side harassed each other on the cold winter night.

According to Sun Yuanhua's order, martial law was already in the city of Dengzhou, and the whole city was covered with darkness, leaving only the lanterns of night patrol patrolmen moving around the streets. Apart from this, there was no one else to see.

At this time, the three of them sneaked out of the camp tent. The soldiers guarding the gate were about to ask, but Zhang Chaofu stuffed a heavy thing into his hand, and then said, "This big brother, the three of us brothers are rarely able to escape today. We are afraid that the old mother will worry at home and want to go home to see her. We hope that the big brother will be more comfortable."

The soldier guarding the gate also found what he had in his hand, which was an incision of about ten taels of silver. He was immediately overjoyed. Although he could get one and a half taels of silver in a month, he didn't even have one or two taels in his hand. This incision of silver was almost his salary for more than a year.

He is soft-hearted and has short-handed people. Since he has taken other people's money, he will not be authentic if he doesn't help others. Anyway, there are only three of them, and there is no problem. So he said, "For your filial piety, you go and go back quickly, and only give you an hour. If you haven't come back yet, I will report you as spies."

Zhang Chaofu hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, brother for your kindness, I must remember my brother's kindness."

Afterwards, the three left the barracks and headed towards Geng Zhongming's mansion. The two personal soldiers also lived in Dengzhou for more than a year and had already remembered the terrain of Dengzhou City. The routes along the way were all small paths, and they tried to avoid patrolling soldiers as much as possible.

Bai Mulin was very confused about what happened just now. It was not why the guards were letting them out, but where did Zhang Chaofu get the money.

When Bai Mulin was on the city wall, he had a deep understanding. The searching soldier was really careful, and he didn't even let go of his mouth, ears, and even his crotch.

Not only them, but every soldier who was hung up was the same. Bai Mulin asked in confusion, "Brother Zhang, I have a question, how did you bring in the money you just now?"

Zhang Chaofu said proudly, "This is a technical job. Most people can't do it, and you won't know how to say it."

Think about it carefully, besides clothes, mouth, nose, and ears, can you put things in your body, and are there any other places that can stuff things in it?"

Bai Mulin thought carefully and thought from head to toe. Finally, he found a place where things could be hidden. He was so chilling that he felt disgusted for the soldier guarding the gate.

Such a big silver is bigger than an egg, not smooth, can you bear it if you stuff it in?
