Lu Song trotted along the dirt road, not even daring to breathe.

The secret whistle has to change shifts every hour, and now it is his turn.

The sentry is located on the edge of a puddle not far from the roadside, with water in the depression, but everyone in Xuping Village knows that there are several ways to completely avoid the water surface.

The reason I chose such a place is that the night watchtowers are not suitable for high places to avoid being seen from afar. The low-lying area is dark, the road is spacious and bright, which is an ideal observation location. Moreover, there are overgrown weeds and a small road close to the ambush. Once you find the situation, you can sneak back to report it quietly.

Another reason Xu Ping did not say, that is, this sentry is about two or three hundred steps away from the sentry at the ambush position, which can be connected. Team-sized personnel can be heard and noticed about 200 meters away, which is also Xu Ping's estimate of the scale of Ke Wulang and his gang. The sentry setting must not only be effective and reasonable, but also scientific.

Of course, Xu Ping did not consider the possibility of Ke Wulang and his group riding horses. According to common sense, horses should only be able to travel five miles away from the target and then walk to avoid alerting the snake.

When he arrived at the place where the secret whistle was arranged, Lu Song covered his mouth and put it on the ground and cooed twice, then carefully observed the surroundings. Seeing that there was no movement, he screamed twice before he heard the echoes ten steps ahead.

This is the joint code of the secret post. Xu Ping originally wanted to design it more cleverly, such as using birds to call wild cats, but few of the shopkeepers could learn it, so he had to do so.

When he bent down to the sentry, a middle-aged farmer breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head from the ground, and said to Lu Song: "Brother, you're here. I'm about to get rid of it, but I'm so tired of holding it here."

Lu Song and the man took a look side by side and asked him: "Uncle Zheng, is there any movement?"

Uncle Zheng shook his head, whispered to Lu Song about the situation around him, and then pointed to a small bush seven or eight steps away: "The other person is there."

Lu Song nodded: "I understand."

The two of them handed over the post and finished it. Uncle Zheng went back along the path in the grass to report the work.

The two men's posts are divided into one main and one deputy. When handing over, only one person comes to take over the position of the main post. After handing over, the deputy post is promoted to the main post, and the newcomer will naturally become the deputy post.

Of course, the handover procedures between Lu Song and Uncle Zheng are quite hasty. According to Xu Ping's somewhat rigid personality, if you see them, you will definitely be judged as unqualified. But for these shopkeepers, it is not easy to be able to roughly correct these procedures.

Lu Song watched Uncle Zheng's figure disappear in the grass layer, breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down on the grass layer.

It was already autumn, and it was cold under his body. Lu Song frowned, but he did not dare to move around. Although Xu Ping was usually very kind and easy to talk, he would not be vague when he did a serious matter. After a long time of contact, everyone knew his temper. When Xu Ping was so stern, everyone naturally cared about it.

Lu Song lay down on the ground for a meal, and suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from a distance. As soon as he heard the movement, Lu Song's body suddenly became tense.

The whistle on the other side whispered: "Brother Lu's family seems to have a sound of horse hooves."

Lu Song replied in a low voice: "I heard it too."

After a while of silence, the sound of horse hooves in the distance became clearer and clearer, and there was no sign of slowing down.

The front post on the other side whispered: "Brother Lu, go and report to the owner of the little manor, I'll watch here."

The deputy whistle was about to follow the arrangement of the regular whistle. Lu Song responded in a low voice, bent down and found the path in the grass, and arched all the way to the ambush position where Xu Ping was lying.

After passing the guard post at the ambush here, Lu Song came to Xu Ping, saw the li, and said, "Little owner, we heard the sound of horse hooves over there!"

Xu Ping nodded with a wry smile: "It's not just you, I heard it here too! This is really a group of thieves who don't know anything. If you do this, I really don't know how you survived until now."

After sighing, Xu Ping said to Lu Song: "You still go back to the post and see clearly their number and how the weapons are in your hands. Come back here and report it to me!"

Lu Song responded and turned around.

Xu Ping looked around. Although the tourists from all over the village heard the sound of horse hooves, they were not panicked and satisfied.

Lu Song returned to the sentry and whispered to the front sentry to pass Xu Ping's words. The two of them held their breath and focused and carefully observed the situation on the road.

After waiting, I waited for nearly half an hour. If it weren't for the constant sound of horse hooves and becoming clearer, the two secret whistles would have thought that this group of people were not coming for the Zhuangzi.

When the sound of horse hooves sounded like they were heard, I finally saw a figure.

Although the moon in the sky appears and disappears from time to time, and there are some clouds tonight, and the vision is not very good, the road is empty and the road is flat and reflective, Lu Song still saw the group of people who came clearly.

There were thirteen people in total, two of whom were riding horses and straddling their waists. The other eleven people were walking behind the horses, two of whom were holding long swords, and eight others were holding short spears. These people had no formation and were walking up the road in a mess.

Lu Song was about to get up and go back to report, but the people on the way suddenly stopped.

Lu Song's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Could it be that these two secret whistles were discovered? This is not good for being a sentry. Once he showed his traces, he would be dead and he would not even have a helper.

I heard a horse riding on the road ask another person, "Wuro, why did you stop suddenly?"

Wulang replied: "This place is not far from the Xu family's farm. The horse hooves are loud. Going forward, I'm afraid that the people in the village will notice it. Li Wei said that there are more than 30 farmers in this village, all of whom are young and strong. If we are prepared in advance, we will not be able to start."

The person who asked praised: "It's still Goro who has been traveling around the world for many years and has this experience! Since that's the case, we will dismount here and leave the horse here. Everyone just walk over. When they take the silver from his house, it's not too late to go back here to find the horse!"

The crowd of minions following behind me praised them together.

The two riders dismounted together, led them to the ground next to them, and found a tree stump and tied them up.

They chose the alfalfa field on the other side of the secret whistle and tied the horses. The first one to speak: "The alfalfa planted here is. Although it has been harvested, there are still some remaining. Just feed the horses!"

Wulang smiled and said, "The second brother said it well, so-called horses do not have night grass, but they will not be fat!"

The second brother followed up: "How can one get rich without external wealth?"

After saying that, everyone laughed together, strode and walked along the road towards Xuping Zhuangzi.

Seeing that the crowd had passed, Lu Song called a secret code to inform the whistle and bent down to go back along the path to report.

On the way, I cursed bad luck in my heart. Such a group of stupid thieves only remembered that the sound of horse hooves was easy to reveal news when they arrived at the village. However, I didn’t expect that in such an empty night, the sound of horse riding could not be transmitted for ten miles. As long as I had the intention, the news about this group of thieves had already been revealed.

In such a peaceful era, anyone can be a thief, but the owner of the little manor set up such a big battle for them.

When he arrived in front of Xu Ping, Lu Song reported the situation, and also talked about Ke Wulang and his gang hiding horses in front of them, and did not forget to curse.

Xu Ping couldn't believe it: "There are only thirteen people? Is this kind of group?"

Lu Song nodded firmly. He completed the mission beautifully tonight, and he felt a light on his face.

Xu Ping shook his head repeatedly. Even such a group of people dared to rob his farm! Not to mention that there was news from Li Wei, they were ambushed here, even if they were surprised to come in, they would beat them up in the head-on battle and take them down without leaving any left!
