Wu Tianlang's stomach was hurting so badly that he couldn't hold it in any longer!
Under Wang Daniu's guidance, Wu Tianlang quickly ran into the latrine pit.
This latrine pit was simple. It was separated by a wall and some branches. It must have been built temporarily because there were not so many troops stationed in the Horse Posthouse before.
After Wu Tianlang finished relieving himself, he remembered that he did not bring any tissues. What should he do?
Wu Tianlang looked around. It seemed like he could only use the dried leaves.
Fortunately, the leaves were wide enough and could still be used.
Wu Tianlang looked at the wall beside the toilet and thought, Isn't this the wall of the Horse Posthouse? He had already entered the inner circle of the Imperial Army. As long as he found the right opportunity, wouldn't he be able to climb over this wall?
Wu Tianlang estimated that the wall was more than three meters tall. Without a ladder, it would be impossible to climb up!
However, other than this place, there was really no chance to enter the Horse Posthouse.
Wu Tianlang pondered and returned to the camp with a heavy heart.
"How is it, brother? Are you feeling better?" Wang Daniu asked Wu Tianlang with concern.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Wu Tianlang explained what had happened in the toilet.
"But what happens after we enter? We are not familiar with the situation inside. If we were to bump into it, we would be sentenced to death!”Wang Daniu said.
Wu Tianlang said calmly,"At this time, I can't care so much!" I thought about it and decided that there was no time to lose. Later on, when most of the people are tired, we'll go to the toilet and think of a way to climb over the wall. We'll talk about it after we climb over the wall.”
Wang Daniu was still hesitating, but Wu Tianlang patted his shoulder." Brother Bull, don't worry. It's time for us to make history!"”
Initially, Wang Daniu was still feeling uneasy. However, when he heard Wu Tianlang say that he was going to create history, he immediately felt like he had been injected with stimulants.
"Alright! We'll do as you say!"
As the saying goes, the spring is sleepy, the autumn is tired, and the summer is sleepy. After noon, most of the defenders were listless, and even the soldiers on the sentry post were no exception. They were very experienced. They held their weapons and stood on the spot with their armor half covering their faces. They could sleep for a while.
Wang Daniu and Wu Tianlang had just returned from the frontlines. In addition, Wang Daniu was still injured by an arrow, so he was allowed to rest in the camp.
The weather was a little hot. Wu Tianlang sat in the tent and felt a little sleepy. He took off his armor and couldn't help but yawn.
Yawning was contagious. Wang Daniu was also yawning repeatedly because of Wu Tianlang.
If it weren't for his mission, Wu Tianlang really wanted to lie down on the ground and have a good sleep. Who cares about his future? He would sleep until the sky was dark!
Wang Daniu was also a little sleepy. He looked around and saw that the other wounded soldiers in the tent had already fallen asleep. One of them was even snoring loudly.
The time had come!
This was the time when the security here was the most relaxed. If they didn't act now, when would they?
Wu Tianlang pinched his own thigh to chase away his sleepiness.
He gently nudged the sleepy Wang Daniu beside him and said softly,""Brother Bull, Brother Bull, it's time to go to the toilet! Accompany me to the toilet!"
Wang Daniu let out a heaven-splitting yawn and shook his head. Then, he stretched out his hand and knocked on his own head. Only then did he regain his spirit.
Thus, the two of them walked towards the toilet in the distance, one after the other.
The afternoon sun was very strong! The temperature was around 30 degrees Celsius. Mid-June was the hottest time of the year.
Wu Tianlang walked under the scorching sun. His head and back felt like they were being roasted.
Wu Tianlang noticed that the number of sentries had been reduced by half. The remaining sentries were half-asleep.
"That's great! At this time, the hotter it was, the better!”Wu Tianlang thought to himself.
"Brother, we don't have a ladder now. How can we climb over the wall?”Wang Daniu walked in front of Wu Tianlang as if nothing had happened.
Wu Tianlang thought for a moment and said," If it really doesn't work, we can build a human ladder. You can climb up the wall by stepping on my shoulders and then pull me up!"”
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the door of the toilet.
Just as Wu Tianlang was about to assign tasks, he realized that there was someone in the toilet!
A guy in armor was squatting in the pit!
Wu Tianlang didn't expect that there would be someone squatting in the latrine pit on such a hot day. His plan had been disrupted!
The person squatting on the latrine pit did not look young. He was not wearing armor, and his white hair and beard were exposed.
To be a soldier at such an old age, it must be like what Hua Mulan said. There were no males in the family, so they could only come to serve themselves. From the looks of it, they could only work in the kitchen. If there was a war, they probably wouldn't be able to run!
Just as Wu Tianlang was at a loss for what to do, he saw Wang Daniu's panicked expression!
Wu Tianlang thought to himself that this guy had never done anything big before. He was a little timid at the critical moment.
Who knew that Wang Daniu would respectfully come to the pit of the old man and bow respectfully. He said,""General, are you also here to experience life at the grassroots level? You've worked hard!"
General? Wu Tianlang was stunned. What was going on? Wang Daniu actually called this old man General. Could it be…
Wu Tianlang sized up the old man and realized that the clothes he was wearing were brand new and clean. They were much more high-end than the clothes of ordinary soldiers.
The old man did not seem to expect that he would be seen going to the toilet, so he looked a little embarrassed.
"Which guard are you from? Why are you dressed so casually?" The old man squatted on the pit, not losing his dignity.
Wu Tianlang thought to himself that if this was Great General Chen Xuanli, then Wang Daniu wouldn't have been unable to withstand the interrogation and revealed their plan!
Wang Daniu was indeed a little scared. His voice trembled as he replied,""General, we-we're from Li Wei's Left Guard.”
"Li Wei's Left Guard?" The old man pondered for a moment before raising his head to look at Wang Daniu."Weren't your guards transferred to the Crown Prince? They should be resisting An Lushan's Hu soldiers at this time! Why did you escape back?"
Wu Tianlang was very anxious when he heard that. If he continued to ask, it seemed like he would really be exposed!
At the thought of this, Wu Tianlang quickly answered,""Reporting to General, we were chased by the Hu soldiers early this morning. We fought a bloody battle with them for four hours and were eventually scattered. We couldn't find a team, so we returned to our Imperial Army camp!”
The old man squatting on the pit was the leader of the Great Tang Imperial Army, Great General Long Wu, Chen Xuanli!
The Emperor had moved from Chang 'an to Shu Prefecture. As the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army, Chen Xuanli was fully responsible for the Emperor's safety.
However, due to the rush of the trip, the entourage did not bring the necessary supplies, so the days were not easy.
It was a good idea. The journey was rushed, but the counties along the way could still raise food and drink. If it really couldn't be done, the nearby people could also raise food and drink! Who wouldn't offer their delicious food to the Emperor?
However, things were far more difficult than they had imagined. When the commoners along the way heard that An Lushan's Hu soldiers were coming, they all took their things and fled. What was even more infuriating was that some officials also fled without a word!
Originally, the Emperor had sent the eunuch Wang Luoqing to go first and tell the county officials to make preparations. At the very least, the local specialties had to be cleaned up, right? If it weren't for this rebellion, small officials and commoners like you would never be able to see the Emperor in your lifetime!
However, he really couldn't do as he wished! Yesterday afternoon, when it was time for lunch, the Emperor's men had arrived at Xianyang County. Wang Luo Qing and the Xianyang County Magistrate, who had been scouting ahead, had already escaped.
At that time, the Emperor thought that if he had known earlier, he would not have let Wang Luoqing scout the way! He had originally thought that he would be able to eat something warm, but who knew that he would not even see a shadow of a person!
The emperor sent eunuchs to recruit, but no one came. It was already noon, and the emperor had not eaten yet. Yang Guozhong personally bought a Hu cake with money and presented it to Xuanzong.
Later on, some commoners really couldn't stand it anymore, thinking how could the current emperor be reduced to such a state! Someone brought food from home.
Of course, what good food could there be in the homes of the common people? It was nothing more than some coarse rice, which was some coarse cakes mixed with wheat beans. The imperial grandchildren fought to grab them with their hands and eat them. In a short while, they had finished them, but they were still not full.
The situation at that time was so tragic.
However, when they arrived at the Mawei Posthouse, the situation was a little better. The officials of the Mawei Posthouse had spent all their wealth and prepared food in advance, allowing the Emperor and the others to have a full meal.
As the leader of the Imperial Army, Chen Xuanli wanted to rest for a while before continuing his journey west. However, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong and some other officials could not bear the hard work and wanted to rest and recuperate at the Horse Posthouse. The Emperor had the same intention. The hunger from two days ago had made the Emperor a little terrified. He had never suffered such a crime in his life!
Chen Xuanli had long been dissatisfied with Prime Minister Yang Guozhong's bullying behavior, but he was the current Prime Minister and a favored relative of the Emperor. His sister was the Imperial Consort, who was favored by the Emperor.
This morning, Chen Xuanli had reported to the Emperor that the Hu soldiers were pursuing them from the west. He was worried that the Crown Prince Li Xiang's troops would not be able to hold them off and wanted everyone to retreat as soon as possible.
However, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong reprimanded him to his face, saying that the Emperor was already seventy years old and could not withstand such torment. He also said that if the Hu soldiers caught up, Chen Xuanli would lead the Imperial Army to resist desperately.
Chen Xuanli was so angry that he drank an extra pot of wine in the afternoon.
In the end, the taste of the wine in this countryside was not good. After Chen Xuanli drank it, he had diarrhea. As a result, when he was patrolling in the afternoon, he felt his stomach ache and ran into the nearest toilet.
Chen Xuanli wanted to quietly enjoy the pleasure of being released, but who knew that two subordinates would suddenly barge in…
