At the third watch, Su Jin led the dynasty's mahan Zhang Long and Zhao Hu and four other martial arts masters, climbed over the wall behind the inn and quietly went out.
The streets of Huizhou were silent late at night. Occasionally, a horse team passed quickly. It was a patrol horse team on night patrol in the city.
The crowd followed the shadows on the street corners and walked in alleys, alleys and other secluded places. Due to the unfamiliar terrain, they walked through several dead ends and gradually arrived at the intersection of Beicheng Street.
The further you go to the north city, the sparse the houses and shops become, and the roads are lined with tall trees, an overgrown and decaying area that is completely different from the prosperity of the south city. However, the roads are very wide, with a green brick avenue along the water.
, but there are cow dung and horses drowning everywhere on the road. Obviously, cars and horses often pass by."
Turning around the woods at the corner of the street, lights suddenly flickered in front of them. Su Jin and others huddled in the trees and looked around. They saw an empty square not far away. A besieged city stood opposite the square, and a string of wind lanterns hung high.
During the day, two tall arrow towers can be seen standing at the entrance of the village from a distance. Under the light of the large wind lanterns hanging on the arrow towers, one can faintly see people walking back and forth on the arrow towers, obviously soldiers keeping watch at night.
Under such open terrain and bright lights, it is extremely difficult to get close to the military camp. Ma Han asked softly if he wanted to get closer to check, but Su Jin stopped him firmly. The task tonight was not to get in, but to
We need to find out whether Qingchu is a grain storage place and the activity patterns of Yijing guards and patrols.
Su Jin looked to both sides. The dark thing in the distance to the west seemed to be a tall building. If he climbed up to that tall building, he should be able to overlook part of the military camp. So everyone moved laterally to the west and arrived at the tall building in a short while.
, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Buddhist pagoda in the backyard of the temple. It was more than six or seven feet high, but it looked dilapidated and creaked and swayed when the wind blew.
Although the pagoda is in the backyard of the temple, separated by a wall, this was not a problem for Su Jin and others. They quickly found a difang that could be climbed in, and quickly climbed over the wall and entered the backyard of the temple.
The trees in the courtyard are dense and cool, and there are many tombs in the open space. There are night birds flying in the branches, and the sound of their wings breaking through the air is extremely scary.
Everyone sneaked up to the pagoda. The two wooden doors were closed tightly, and there was an old lock hanging on them. Su Jin was happy. This meant that no one lived in the pagoda and no one was aware of it. Mahan
When he was about to break the lock, Su Jin quickly stopped him and asked him to remove the wooden door from the door mortar. After everyone entered the tower, he put the door panel into the door mortar, so that there would be no sign of entry from the outside.
Everyone did not dare to light a fire. They stared wide-eyed in the darkness and used the dim light outside the wooden window to find the stairs. They carefully climbed up the pagoda step by step. Along the way, countless bats flew away and they ate a lot of dust. Everyone's hair was filled with sweat.
My face was completely covered with spider webs, and I finally reached the top floor of the pagoda; but I felt a strong wind blowing, and the entire wooden pagoda creaked, and the fangfo was about to topple over at any time, and I could also feel a slight shaking sound.
Everyone had no time to care about this and looked around one after another. From a bird's eye view from the high tower, the scene of Zhouwei was in full view. To the south was a dark urban area with occasional lights shining. They were either residences of dignitaries or places of entertainment and laughter;
To the north is a large military camp with bright lights. Standing on a high place, you can see the busy scene inside the military camp. About hundreds of people are carrying bags of belongings to load the large vehicles parked in the open space of the camp under the bright lights.
, it seems that another batch of grain and grass supplies will be shipped to the front line tomorrow.
Su Jin secretly called it a fluke. Fortunately, Meiyou approached rashly, otherwise he would have fallen into a trap. And the good news is that if the car is loaded today, it is very likely that it will not be loaded again tomorrow night. What is more likely, like
The brightly lit scene may change tonight; it can't be as bright as daytime at night when the car is not loaded.
Everyone lay on the tower and observed carefully. The entire military camp was backed by a tall city wall as the back wall. The three sides in front were made of slightly shorter adobe fortresses, forming a standard rectangle. A wall divided the entire rectangle from east to west.
Two squares seemed to separate the entire barracks into front and back yards.
In the square in front are rows of houses, and in the square behind are tall and round grain stacks. Su Jin estimated that the ones in front must be where troops are stationed, and the ones in the back are the targets. This design is indeed
It is difficult to enter, and even if you enter the backyard, it will be difficult to get out.
There are a total of six arrow towers in the camp. The two towers just visible on the ground are the two at the entrance. The other four are located in the southeast, northwest and four directions of the backyard. They can basically cover the entire rear grain stack, and the observation range can cover
The entire military camp.
Everyone's brows were knitted into knots. It was almost impossible to get in to work in such a layout. How to get in became a big problem.
"Master, this matter is a bit tricky. You see, it is difficult to enter the front door alone, let alone the storage area at the back. Escape after gaining access is also a problem. Both sides are within the shooting range of the arrow tower.
, there is a barracks in front, and the city wall in the rear is even more undesirable. There are soldiers guarding the top of the city after hearing the news, and the city wall is too high to climb." Wang Chao raised the anxiety in everyone's hearts in a series.
Su Jin waved his hand and stared down without blinking. Everyone followed him and looked down, only to see a group of patrolling soldiers in front of the village gate holding torches walking slowly past, gradually disappearing into the blind spot of sight.
Su Jin whispered: "Remember shijian and start counting."
Everyone was busy counting secretly, until they reached three hundred and sixty breaths, another patrol team happened to come into view, and they did this several times in a row, without missing a beat.
"The patrol team in the outer square of Xia Bing patrols every 360 breaths. The 360 breaths in between are enough to do a lot of things." Su Jin said softly.
"But I can't get in. There's an arrow tower at the door." Ma Han said anxiously.
Su Jin stared at the square below silently. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he whispered: "That's it."
Everyone quickly looked around and saw a group of soldiers walking out of the camp. They handed over torches to the group of soldiers who came forward. After saying a few words, they joined the patrol queue; and the group who handed over the torches
The team entered the camp unimpeded and entered one of the rows of houses to rest.
Su Jin licked his lower lip and said, "I see, we can go in."
Everyone didn't know what was going on and hurriedly asked: "How to get in?"
Su Jin said: "Did you see? The patrol team does not patrol all night. It is probably divided into the first half of the night and the second half of the night, or it is unknown whether it alternates one round every hour. If we want to go in, we only need to..."
"Disguise patrol!" Ma Han's IQ turan burst out, and his voice was a little loud with excitement. Everyone was startled and quickly looked around to see if there was any abnormal movement. Fortunately, there was no abnormal movement around. The whistling night wind swept Ma Han away.
My throat was blown so hard that I didn't know where to go.
Wang Chao slapped him in the face and scolded him: "What the hell is Shime? If you make a mistake, you will be the sinner of the Song Dynasty."
Ma Han rubbed his head, still with an excited expression on his face: "Young master, this is a great plan. Let's kill a patrol team with our cameras, then change their clothes to patrol, and when the handover is over, we will swagger in.
Mr. Zhuge Liang is really alive."
Su Jin laughed and scolded: "Zhuge Zhiliang, don't talk nonsense. Zhuge Liang's life is short, and I don't want to take it for granted."
Ma Han said: "Yes, yes, then it will be Jiang Zizhi. That old guy is said to live a long life."
Everyone rolled their eyes and was speechless.
Next, everyone carefully checked the number of people in the patrol team, the route, and discussed the countermeasures after entering. It was not until the third quarter of the night was knocked that they hurriedly got off the pagoda, avoiding the people who got up early and sneaked back.
Among the inns.
Su Jin dusted off the dust on his body and pretended to have just woken up. He asked the waiter to get a bucket of water and take a bath. As soon as he got up and changed clothes, he planned to lie on the bed and have a good sleep. There was a beeping sound outside the door.
A loud knock on the door.
Su Jin hurriedly put on her robe, opened the door and saw that it was the little princess Li Ahli.
Su Jin smiled and said: "Your Highness, Princess, you got up so early. How did you sleep last night?"
Li Ahli asked with a frosty mask on his face: "Are you Shime people?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "We are businessmen, what's wrong?"
Li Ahli said: "Don't lie to me. There was a mouse in your house last night. I was afraid and got up to look for you. I wanted to ask you to help me get rid of it, but the two people at the door wouldn't let me come to you. Later,
I said they were not prepared to open your door, but you were not in the house at all."
Su Jin said: "So what? I didn't sleep in that room last night. The smell in the room was too bad. This is because of shimeqiguai."
Li Ahli stretched out his hand to lift a package, put it in front of Su Jin and said: "Then this is shime? How come you have so many gold, silver and jewelry? There is also a dagger in the package. Since you are businessmen, why do you bring murderous weapons?
?And why is there so much gold and silver?”
Su Jin secretly scolded Ziji for being stupid. He let Li Ahli sleep in Ziji's room last night but didn't pack up Ziji's belongings. Now it's better. This girl went through them all and didn't know what was inside.
However, there are a few objects that appear to be belonging to the officials of the Song Dynasty. They are careless, very careless.
"Tell me, did you come to my country to steal? How could you do this?"
Su Jin was dumbfounded. It turned out that Li Ahli just misunderstood that Ziji was a gentleman from Liang Shang.
"You're overthinking it. I'm in a big business, so I naturally bring a lot of gold and silver. What's the point?"
"You are still arguing that you were not in the house in the middle of the night. It was not stealing but shime? You should give me an explanation." Li Ahli said angrily.
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said, "I really want to tell you the truth, but I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
Li Ahli blushed and said, "You said, I want to know the truth. Even if I die, I will never help the evildoers."
Su Jindao: "This is what you asked me to say, don't regret it after listening to it."
Li Ahli said: "I will never regret it."
Su Jindao: "Since you are so curious, I will tell you the truth. I did not sleep in the room last night because I went to a difang, where there were not only clean beds, good wine and food, but also small songs to listen to.
More importantly, I still have a girl to sleep with me; are you awake?"
Li Ahli's face instantly turned pink, and the disdain in his eyes was undisguised, and he spat: "Shameless, you are really a bunch of dirty and shameless people." After saying that, he turned around and covered his face and walked away quickly, but when he heard a "clang", the door opened.
Close tightly.
Su Jin chuckled, turned around and entered the room, hummed a little tune and fell down on the bed. After a while, he began to snore.
