Chapter 51 Night Walk

Upon hearing this, Liu Ji's smile froze. Just as he was about to speak, Fan Kuai said loudly: "How can you doubt this? It must be the people from the military camps on the other side of the mountain!" When he said this, Fan Kuai looked indignant. W     w W.

81zW.

CoM obviously has a certain understanding of this matter.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Fusu and Chen Sheng looked at each other and asked quietly.

Fan Kuai also drank a few taels of wine at this time, his ears were red and he said, "A month ago, my cousin and two fellow villagers went into the mountain to chop firewood. Because I heard that people often went into the mountain to disappear recently, for safety reasons, the three of them walked towards the mountain near the Sishui River. Because a military camp was built nearby half a year ago, I thought it would be safer to be close to the military camp, but the three of them did not come back once they went! I went to find people with some neighbors, but when I arrived near the mountain, I was driven away by the soldiers. I also heard one of them whispered, 'It would be great if there were fewer people...' So I felt that the person must have been captured by them! Brother Liu and I went to the county to react to this matter, but the county did not send anyone down!"

Liu Ji, who was standing aside, smiled bitterly. Fan Kuai spoke too straightforwardly and did not consider many issues. The other party was a military camp, and the army had always been in a position in the empire. For such a thing, Zhao, the county's adult, could not afford to offend him, and would not be willing to provoke him.

Listening to Fan Kuai's words, Chen Sheng and Fusu looked at each other again. Chen Sheng thought for a while and asked, "When was that military camp established? When it was established, did you have corvee labor nearby?"

Liu Ji and Fan Kuai shook their heads together and said, "Nothing is there."

"I understand." Chen Sheng nodded to Fusu. Both of them could basically conclude that the military camp mentioned by Fan Kuai was definitely not created by the empire. The two of them naturally understood that the whereabouts of the batch of grain they had been tracing for a long time fell here.

"Brother Liu, Fan Kuai, can you take us there and see what the military camp looks like?" Fusu said.

"Okay!" Liu Ji looked embarrassed, but Fan Kuai responded loudly. Liu Ji knew that Fusu's identity was not low, so he dared not let Fusu take risks with him. Because he knew that Fusu's identity was not low, he could vaguely hope that Fusu could solve the problem. When he saw the county magistrate (Meng Yi), he deliberately expressed the depression in his heart and sought Meng Yi's help. However, in the end, it was because he was wary of this group of people that Liu Ji did not say anything.

"Do I want to find a few more people?" Liu Ji asked. He was originally the head of Sishui Ting, and there were more than a dozen shrimp soldiers and crab generals. He knew very well that it would be very dangerous to go around a heavily guarded military camp with these ten people.

"No need." Chen Sheng shook his head. He knew very well that with the strength of the Imperial Guard, even if he was discovered, he could easily escape.

"You guys rest here for a while. I'll go up and discuss with Uncle Meng. We'll go out after dark." Fusu said.

After the imperial guards were full of food and food, they all returned to their rooms to rest. After a while, snoring sounds broke out. Chen Sheng settled Liu Ji and Fan Kuai and seized the time to rest for an hour.

After he woke up, it was completely dark outside. Fusu and others were already ready, but Meng Yi and Liu Ji were missing. After asking, Chen Sheng realized that Meng Yi had left the county government at this time, first controlled the county government's extremely suspicious county magistrate, and then led the guards and officers out to encircle the military camp. Liu Ji led Meng Yi to the way.

However, in the end, due to the lack of numbers, there were five young soldiers from Sishui Pavilion in the team. These soldiers were all farmers nearby, loyal and reliable. One of them was the youngest, the one was Zhou Bo, and the older one was Zhou Ke, who was about the same age as Liu Ji. Seeing that Liu Ke's face was a little familiar, Chen Sheng found out that Zhou Ke was actually the cousin of Zhou Chang, the magistrate of Pengcheng County. However, Zhou Ke did not speak like his cousin, and spoke very neatly.

These soldiers did not know why they were summoned, but soon they were weapons and horses by the guards, equipped them, and took advantage of the night, under the guidance of Fan Kuai, and headed far away.

At this time, everyone was already wearing black clothes, and the horse's four hooves were wrapped in linen, so as to avoid sound when moving forward. The military camp mentioned by Fan Kuai was the military supplies transfer station pointed by Xiao He, a county official in Pei County. Chen Sheng and Fusu knew its general location, but the specific terrain was not clear. With the guidance of Fan Kuai and several local soldiers, the journey was very smooth.

According to Fan Kuai's description, this camp was built next to a valley beside the Sishui River Bay, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a good geographical location, and was surrounded by numerous fences and was heavily guarded. From time to time, a large number of ships appeared on the river, usually driving here at dusk and then leaving before dawn.

"Young Master, this place is very close to the military camp. We can't ride horses anymore." Although Fan Kuai looked rough, his mind was also very meticulous. Less than five miles away from the valley, he stopped the horses and said to Fusu and Chen Sheng.

Fusu and Chen Sheng nodded quietly and ordered everyone to dismount and walk. Chen Sheng thought for a while and said to Fusu: "Young Master, this place must be very important to those people. Maybe there are sentries nearby to patrol. Why should I take the two of you to the front to reconnaissance first, and then determine the safety before the team advances?"

Fusu deeply agreed with Chen Sheng's proposal. However, he looked at Chen Sheng's appearance younger than him and said with a smile: "It's great, but this matter is left to Hu Huiyong. Follow me." Chen Sheng is a master of Master Wei Liao. He doesn't want Chen Sheng to take risks. If something happens, he will have no face to face Master Wei Liao.

"Young Master, I know that all your subordinates are very good at martial arts, but I am not too weak. Moreover, they may not be as good as me in disguise and sneak in the dark." Chen Sheng replied.

"Okay." Seeing Chen Sheng's confident look, Fusu was not easy to argue, so he had to say, "Be careful in everything."

Chen Sheng nodded and said, "Young Master, too." After saying that, he called Fan Kuai out together. Before leaving, Chen Sheng dug out some sludge from the ground and applied some withered weeds to the black cloak on himself and Fan Kuai. After disguising himself, Chen Sheng squatted on the ground, as if he was integrated with the surrounding environment, which made Fusu admire him.

Seeing the two pieces of "turf" rushing towards the front, Fusu nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Hurry, we all disguised ourselves as Chen Sheng!"
