Yin Lei took a deep breath and suppressed the waves in his heart and asked, "Mr. Xiao......, could it be that the shadow is the ghost team?" ”

Yes, those five shadows are the other five members of the Ghost Clan, and the shadow leader is Xiao Qiang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"No, only this time is special, in the past, there were only three shadows, but this time because of the arrival of the Eagle and the Elephant Division, I decided to recruit three more."

As he spoke, he reached out and took out a black suit from a box behind him and threw it to Yin Lei, next to him Chen Qinglong pointed to the right corner and said: "That box is yours, and the back room is the information we usually read, if you feel that this place is not complete, you can tell me what you want." ”

While speaking, he brought the face towel again, Yu Xidong, Su Deyi, and Ding Mingjiang also brought the face towel, Yin Lei saw it and hurriedly put on the black power suit, at this time Xiao Qiang was already sitting in front and said: "Xuanyuan, we have very few rules here, as long as we don't reveal our identities and don't disclose anything about the shadow, it can basically be said that there are no rules, because of the particularity of the shadow, so I never ask about your private affairs, so that I can't recruit you back those personnel after Du Laosan's sacrifice, So you can still receive some personnel when you enter the Ghost Clan, and everything about the Shadow needs to be done by yourself, remember, even the people who work for the Shadow, including the 1,000 soldiers you can recruit, can't let them know that they are working for the Shadow. ”

"Understand Mr. Xiao, there is no shadow in this world at all, so the shadow will never be exposed."

"That's right."

"Mr. Xiao, what is the task of the shadow?"

"The shadow has very few missions, and it would be good to be able to take on a few missions a year, so your only task is to work hard to develop your own power, and as a support you can receive 10,000 taels of silver per month for military expenses, so that you can successfully complete the mission when you are needed."

Yin Lei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "The above has invested so much money on us, but it doesn't give us a task, it's ......." ”

Chen Qinglong next to him said: "You are wrong, there is usually no task above, do you and your people just lie still at home every day?" Where did you think about the above task? The capital is so far away from here, how many times can the emperor issue a holy decree a year? Could it be that General Chu would not do anything without receiving the holy decree? When you become a shadow, you are the master of a part, you have to take your own responsibility, usually nothing to prevent before it happens, if something has to be settled, you used to passively accept the task, now you are the master, to let your subordinates move, play their role, and can not point to the above to arrange the task, so to speak, if you usually do well, the above will not find anything for you to do, if you do not do well, the above will arrange your task.

"And what about what we're all responsible for?"

"Everything, as long as you think it is wrong, you can do it, the clothing, food, shelter, and transportation of the people; military regulations, discipline, and intelligence in the military; Including the corruption of hundreds of officials in some state capitals, etc., even if it is a war between the two armies, we can also intervene. ”

Hearing Chen Qinglong's words, Yin Lei's mouth was so shocked that he couldn't close it, and he said promisedly: "Even if you give me 10,000 people, you can't manage it?" ”

"There are six of us, don't forget our privileges, in fact, the shadow is an upgraded version of the ghost team, but the shadow is not bound by the rules of the world, and can do it freely. In fact, the shadow is just an experiment, at the beginning of the establishment of the shadow did not have such a great power, in the efforts of generations of shadows above believe that we should be given more power, so our power and responsibility are so great. ”

At this time, Xiao Qiang said beside him: "Xuanyuan, last time you told me to leave you some manpower when I went back to Macheng and Changsheng to recruit troops, I have already said hello, I left you a thousand places in these two places, you come back this time and hurry up, we recruited soldiers again last month, and we will recruit soldiers again in two months, we can't always recruit troops there, understand." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, I'll go back tomorrow and arrange it."

I don't know why Yin Lei said this, everyone's eyes in the room fell on him at once, and until now, Yin Lei didn't know what Guan Ri had done a few days ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw everyone looking at him.

"Xuanyuan, I still have something to go first, see you later."

At this time, Su Deyi first got up and said goodbye, and then Yu Xidong and Ding Mingjiang also left, and Mr. Xiao also said: "Xuanyuan, I'll give you a month, no matter what you do, you will come here on the first day of the next month."

"It's Mr. Xiao."

"Let Qinglong lead you to familiarize yourself here, I'll go first."

Saying that, Xiao Qiang turned around and went out, seeing that everyone was gone, Chen Qinglong took out a map from behind and said, "This is an underground network map, you can take a look at it first." ”

Then a map as dense as a spider's web was placed in front of Yin Lei, and when he saw the criss-crossing map in front of him, Yin Lei's eyes immediately straightened, and he couldn't understand everything on it.

"You don't understand, do you? If you can't understand it, it's weird if you can understand it at once. Our underground roadway is divided into four layers, you see the first layer is drawn with black lines, the second layer is drawn with red lines, the third layer is drawn with green lines, and the last layer is drawn with blue lines. ”

Hearing Chen Qinglong's words, Yin Lei felt that the map in front of him was not so messy, and then Chen Qinglong said: "Have you noticed why we are so deep underground but there is no water to flood here?" ”

Hearing Chen Qinglong remind Yin Lei that he thought of this problem, not to mention that they are now ten zhang underground, even if they dig for a long time, a lot of water will seep into it?

"Remember, there is a drainage ditch under the side of all the tunnels, and since the drainage ditch is lower than here and close to here, most of the water is diverted by this drainage ditch, and the waterlines encountered in the process of building the tunnels have been treated, and there will not be a lot of water. This drain does not appear on the map, I heard that you also used the drain to get out in peacetime, then you should know that the drain is actually very important, we have a general map, which marks the location of all the drains, you can see it when you have time in the future, if you give it to you now, you will not be able to understand it,"

"And how did the water in the gutter get out?"

"Lead to the river, use the river water to push the waterwheel to bring the water out of the drainage ditch, let's go out for a walk, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment, next time you will come here by yourself."

Saying that, Chen Qinglong went out with the map, Yin Lei couldn't help but say, "Can I take the things here out?" ”

"Of course not, you see that any layer of lanes on this map is hollow-shaped, I'll take you around for a week and I'll come back here, just put it back then, bring it just for your convenience."

Then Chen Qinglong took Yin Lei to turn around in this empty tunnel, and after a while, they came to an upward path, Chen Qinglong said, "Let's go up and have a look." ”

Saying that, he led the way and walked up, and after a few zhang, a fork appeared on the left, Chen Qinglong said: "This is a fork leading to the third floor, and there are forks leading to the second floor and the first floor. ”

The two said that they had come to a stone wall, Chen Qinglong pointed to a piece of crystal on the stone wall and said, "Before you go down, you must see if there is anyone inside, so as not to let people bump into it." ”

Yin Lei curiously leaned over and looked down, only to see a roadway that was the same as the one below leading into the distance, and there was no one inside like the fourth floor.

At this time, Chen Qinglong pointed to a red semicircle on the stone wall and said: "There is also a mark like this at the bifurcation point below, remember, if it is a semicircle, it is one-way and can only go back and forth, if it is a circle, it can be communicated in both directions, understand?" ”

"Got it."

"If we go up again, there are fewer people on the third floor, there are more people on the second floor, and there are the most people on the first floor."

"What kind of person can enter the tunnels?"

"Only the general soldiers of each battalion can enter the third layer, the deputy general soldiers and special people like our ghost team can enter the second layer, the general level can enter the first layer, and the fourth layer is specially designed for our shadows, even General Zhao cannot enter."

In this way, the two of them spent more than an hour to walk through the four floors, Yin Lei silently counted while walking, the entire fourth floor is actually a hollow grid similar to the current school, there are a total of thirty-two passages leading to the upper three floors, eight of which are two-way, and there are twelve that lead to several secret places, including arsenals, weapons depots, engineer battalions, the main gate of the barracks, Huijiang City, military aircraft and other secret places, as well as fifteen tunnels leading to the residence, one of which is Yin Lei's residence.

"Qinglong, where is the mechanism that controls this place? I searched the room several times and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Don't say it's you, even if Master Wu of the Engineer Battalion comes, you may not be able to find it, this mechanism was thought up by a genius a hundred years ago, in fact, the method of controlling it is very simple, you just need to press a thousand pounds of weight on the bed, and the mechanism will be activated, there is no other way except for the time, and you have to use the same method if you want to go up."

Yin Lei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "The person who can come up with this method is definitely a genius. ”

"I would like to remind you that you must never call out my name in the future, and even here you must always be on guard against being eavesdropped."

"And what do we usually call it?"

"Only here are we shadows, and we can't meet as shadows in normal times."

Half an hour later, Yin Lei lay on the bed again, although it was already three shifts at this time, but Yin Lei did not feel sleepy at all, everything just now seemed to be a ......dream.

……

"Xuanyuan, you went out this time to do two things that were a little impulsive, do you know?"

The discussion of the ghost team was in the hall, Xiao Qiang sat on it and said to Yin Lei, this time they were all not shadows, but members of the ghost team.

"Are you talking about me setting fire to the granary? I really don't think about it, but the other thing you said? ”

"The matter of breaking the embankment and releasing water."

"Mr. Xiao, I have thought about this matter, due to the war for many years, there are basically no people around Taiping Town, Gufeng River is only forty miles away from Taiping, not to mention between Gufeng River and Taiping, even within twenty miles north of Gufeng River."

"Hehe, I'm not talking about this, but you reminded Ziyun, now they have opened the embankment of the river you broke bigger, and the forty miles between the old site of the Gufeng River and Taiping are now a Ze country, which has added a lot of trouble for our army to attack Taiping."

Hearing this, Yin Lei couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Ziyun to have such a master come up with such a clever plan.

"Okay, you can't be blamed for this, fortunately, there are still two months before the half-year deadline, and now our army has surrounded Taiping, but they also know about the half-year contract, so they are desperately defending."

"Taiping City is high and deep, it's not easy to fight hard, didn't we leave a secret passage in Taiping back then?"

"You forgot that the time that Taiping was in their hands is not short, and it is impossible for any large-scale secret passage not to be discovered, fortunately, we don't have to worry about this problem, the matter of the official confrontation between the two armies before the formation has nothing to do with us, in general, your meritorious service this time is not small, so let's do it, you can choose three more secret skills as a reward ......."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qiang smiled mysteriously and said: "Of course, if you want to ask for leave, you can also use this credit to exchange for a holiday, a secret technique to give you a month off." ”

Hearing Xiao Qiang's words, Yin Lei was stunned, and then he understood that the shadow leader gave his shadow a month off last night, but as a member of the ghost team, he had to have another excuse to leave.

"Okay, then I'll take a month off."

"Today is the first day of the sixth lunar month, and when you come back on the first day of the next month, we will also go to the front line."

"It's Mr. Xiao, is it just the two of us going?"

"No, Xiao Su and Xidong are going to the western front, Xiao Ding is in charge of the rear, and the eastern line is you and Lao Kong's."

"Then will I and Second Brother Kong be separated or not?"

"I was about to ask you about this, if you are separated, the north of Taiping will belong to you, and the south of Taiping will belong to him, of course, you can also not divide it, how do you think it will be divided?"

"This ......."

Yin Lei was embarrassed, the power he used to go out this time was all south of Taiping, and his team was also south of Taiping, if the two of them separated themselves, it would be a big loss, but if they didn't distinguish how they were the opponent of this old man, they would have to let themselves do everything in the future.

At this moment, Yin Lei suddenly found that Chen Qinglong was snickering on the side, he immediately understood that he had been calculated from the beginning, so he smiled bitterly: "I think it's better not to separate, as the so-called people are easy to work, and I have little experience, so I need a master to take it." ”

"In that case, I'll listen to you, let's disperse, if it's okay, I'll come back before the end of the month, and I'll go to the front line with Xuanyuan next month."

The others all left, only Chen Qinglong stayed, and the area that everyone was in charge of was extremely far away, and he was the only one in charge of Huijiang City.

"Qinglong, when do we usually come back for a get-together?"

"Maybe, the next meeting time is usually set before this meeting, if there is a fixed time, it will make people calculate, of course, there are special circumstances that can be gathered at any time, just like this time Mr. Xiao heard that you were coming back, and specially recruited them all back."

"This time I'm going to a farther place, so I'll go first."

"Have a nice trip."

"Lend you good words."

After saying goodbye to Xiao Qiang and Chen Qinglong, Yin Lei immediately went back to pack his things, he wanted to get together with the Sikong sisters as soon as possible so that he could go to Xing'antai to recruit troops, this matter could not be delayed any longer.

After a while, Yin Lei thought about it while walking towards the outside of the camp, just as he passed by the small school field, a sudden burst of fierce cheers came, listening to the sound There were a lot of people there, but now Yin Lei didn't have time to meddle in things, he stopped for a while and went to the camp gate again, but he just took a few steps and suddenly blurted out in his heart: "Today is the first day of the sixth month, and it is the day of the camp and the camp patrol." ”

Yin Lei hesitated, looked up at the sky, was just over halfway through the time at this time, thought about it, sighed and said secretly: "My current identity is no longer suitable for the stage, but it's good to see the result." ”

Thinking of this, Yin Lei walked towards the small school field, and when he entered the small school field, the cheering inside had not stopped, and the people on the stage surrounded a young man in his thirties, obviously this person had won a battle just now.

Yin Lei recognized many acquaintances after a little look, Su Minggang, Guo Yuzeng, Liu Runjiang, Zhang Baoju and others were there, at this moment, Yin Lei's eyes suddenly fell on the young man in his twenties in the middle, and then Yin Lei couldn't help blurting out: "Why is he, senior brother also enlisted?" ”
