Han Zhan lay on the couch and listened to the heavy footsteps coming from the patrol outside the tent. He listened quietly for a while, and vaguely heard the conversation between Dian Wei and Chen Zhi, and it seemed that the two of them were personally leading the team to patrol outside.

Han Zhan sat up and said to Xiahou Yun, who was kneeling beside several cases: "Yun'er, you go out and tell Ziman and Uncle Zhi that they can take turns on duty, and there is no need to patrol together, otherwise when you rush tomorrow, you will be physically exhausted." Xiahou Yun agreed, got up, opened the curtain and walked out.

Luo Bu, who was guarding outside the tent, saw Xiahou Yun coming out of the tent, guessed what Han Zhan might command, and hurriedly asked respectfully: "Captain Xiahou, what does the lord command?" ”

"The lord asked you to take turns on duty in batches, one person is responsible for the first half of the night, and one person is responsible for the second half of the night." Xiahou Yun glanced at Dian Wei and Chen Dao, who were leading people around the big tent, and said to Luo Bu: "Those who are not on duty will go back to the tent to rest." Luo Bu agreed, and immediately ran towards Dian Wei and Chen Zhi who were not far away, and conveyed Han Zhan's order to the two of them.

Seeing Xiahou Yun coming in from outside the tent, Han Zhan just asked casually: "Yun'er, have you told them everything Benhou said?" ”

"Yes, Childe." Xiahou Yun replied: "The concubine has asked Rob to tell them that one person is responsible for the first half of the night, and the other is responsible for the second half of the night, and those who are not on duty will rest in the tent." Han Zhan didn't speak after listening, just nodded, and then lay down again and closed his eyes.

After Chen Zhi received Han Zhan's general order, he discussed with Dian Wei in a low voice: "General Ziman, you go back and rest first, Chen led the patrol here before the third watch, and he will definitely ensure the safety of the lord." ”

Dian Wei knew that Chen Zhi had always been cautious in doing things, so he did not object to his arrangement, clasped his fists and arched his hand at the other party, then turned around and walked back to the tent that had been arranged for himself in advance.

Time flies quickly, and before I know it, it's the third watch. Before Chen Zhi sent someone to call Dian Wei, the latter had already come out of the tent, and he asked Chen Zhi in a low voice, "Uncle Zhi, is there anything unusual?" ”

"Nope." Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "Don't say that there is not the slightest movement in the small village, Chen has asked at the gate of the village, and no one has ever approached, it seems that there will be no assassins tonight." ”

"I heard from the military advisor that if the traitors in the court want to attack the lord, tonight is their last chance." Don't look at Dian Wei's courage and strategy, but what he said to Guo Jia is still fresh in his memory, "Before dawn, we can't relax our vigilance." Uncle Zhi, it's already the third watch at the moment, you go back to rest first, and then I will lead people to continue patrolling. ”

Chen Zhi saw that the soldiers who followed him on patrol were already tired, and he felt that if they continued to patrol, he was afraid that he would be physically exhausted, so he ordered someone to transfer a new batch of soldiers and handed them over to Dian Wei to lead. After doing all this, Chen Zhi went back to his tent to rest with confidence.

When the guard was changing outside, Han Zhan, who was sleeping in the tent, sat up from the couch suddenly. Although there was not much movement, it still woke up Xiahou Yun, who was resting at the desk, she hurriedly raised her sword and came to Han Zhan, leaned over and asked, "Childe, why did you wake up, what happened?" ”

"Yun'er, Ben Hou just had a nightmare." Han Zhan said in horror: "I dreamed that someone assassinated Benhou ......"

"Don't worry, Childe." With the help of the candlelight in the tent, Xiahou Yun saw the cold sweat on Han Zhan's forehead clearly, sat down on the edge of the couch, put down the sword in his hand, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead for him, and comforted him: "There are Dian Wei, Chen Zhi and others leading troops to guard outside the tent, and there are concubines in the tent, even if the assassin has the ability, he will not be able to break into the tent." ”

"They didn't break in from outside the tent." Han Zhan grabbed Xiahou Yun's hand and said with a flustered expression: "Benhou dreamed that there were seven or eight assassins, all of whom came out of the ground. ”

"Out of the ground?" Xiahou Yun instinctively glanced at the ground, thinking that Han Zhan might be too nervous to have such a nightmare, and hurriedly said to Han Zhan: "Childe, this is just a dream, how can a person come out of the ground?" You go back to sleep, there is a concubine here, and it will be fine. ”

Finally coaxed Han Zhan to lie down again, the more Xiahou Yun thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he walked out of the big tent with his sword. Luo Bu, who was dozing outside the tent, saw Xiahou Yun coming out of it, and hurriedly asked, "Captain Xiahou, what does the lord command?" ”

"Who's on patrol at the moment?"

"General Dian Wei!" Rob replied.

"Where is Uncle Chen?"

"Just went back to the tent to rest!"

When Xiahou Yun heard that Chen Zhi had just returned to the tent to rest, he decided to go over to find him and tell him what Han Zhan was worried about, and see what he thought. After walking a few steps, she thought that Han Zhan was still sleeping alone in the tent, so she stopped and told Rob: "The lord is alone in the tent, you listen to the movements in the tent." ”

"Please rest assured that Captain Xiahou," Rob glanced at the low-hanging curtain and assured Xiahou Yun, "The little one will definitely ensure the safety of the lord." ”

After receiving Rob's assurance, Xiahou Yun strode towards Chen's tent. On the way, I met a team of patrol soldiers, and saw someone walking independently in the village, and the team leader was about to ask, but found that it was Xiahou Yun, and quickly stopped and saluted her.

"Who's out there?" As soon as Xiahou Yun came to Chen Dao's tent, Chen Dao, who had already heard the footsteps outside, opened the curtain and walked out, and after seeing clearly that it was Xiahou Yun, he asked in surprise: "It turned out to be Captain Xiahou, you are here at this moment, do you have any instructions from the lord?" ”

Xiahou Yun hesitated a little, not knowing whether he should tell the other party about Han Zhan's nightmare. But in the end, considering Han Zhan's safety, she still decided to tell the matter: "The lord just had a nightmare. ”

"The lord had a nightmare?!" When Chen Zhi heard Xiahou Yun say this, his face showed a look of surprise, and he thought to himself, is there any connection between the lord's nightmare and you coming to me? Although he thought so in his heart, he asked in his mouth: "Captain Xiahou, I don't know what the lord dreamed of?" ”

"The lord said that he dreamed that seven or eight assassins were stabbing him from the ground." Xiahou Yun was afraid that Chen Zhi would say that he was making a big fuss, so he hurriedly emphasized: "It was this nightmare that the lord woke up from his sleep. ”

Who knew that after Xiahou Yun finished speaking, she found that Chen Zhi's reaction was greatly beyond her expectations, and Chen Zhi shouted to the side: "Someone!" ”

With the shout, an unarmored Tiger Guard soldier came out of the tent next to him, and he came to Chen Zhi and bowed, waiting for Chen Zhi to give an order.

Chen Zhi pointed at the other party with his hand and ordered: "You immediately go find a long bamboo tube and a wooden mallet, this general has an urgent need, go and return quickly." The soldier said yes and ran away.

"Uncle to General!" Hearing Chen Zhi's words to the soldiers, Xiahou Yun couldn't help but be stunned, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you want the bamboo tube for?" ”

Chen Zhi didn't immediately answer Xiahou Yun's question: "Captain Xiahou, don't be impatient, you'll know later." ”

Soon, the soldier came with a long bamboo tube, followed by two soldiers, one of whom had a mallet in his hand. When Chen Zhi and the three of them came to him, he pointed to the open ground with his hand and instructed them: "Nail the bamboo tube into the ground, and leave one foot on the ground!" ”

The soldiers agreed, and one of them held the bamboo tube, and the soldier holding the gavel beat it vigorously. The sound of beating the bamboo tube was very loud, which soon alarmed Dian Wei, who was patrolling nearby, and he hurried over with a team of soldiers, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Shuzhi, what are you doing?" ”

"General Ziman," Chen Zhi came to Dian Wei's side and whispered to him, "Captain Xiahou said that the lord had a nightmare, and the assassin who violently assassinated him came out of the ground. ”

"The assassin came out of the ground, what ......are you doing here to nail the bamboo tube" Dian Wei had not finished speaking, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly asked: "Do you want to pass through the bamboo tube and listen to whether there is movement underground?" ”

"yes, that's what I thought." Chen Zhi saw that Dian Wei guessed his intentions, and did not hide it, but said truthfully: "It stands to reason that the earth should use a big vat, but it is difficult to find a big vat in the army." Even if you manage to find it, it will take a lot of time. If the Assassins do lurk underground, we will be startled by the fact that we dig a pit. ”

When Chen Zhi said this, he turned his head and saw that Xiahou Yun was still standing aside, and hurriedly asked, "Captain Xiahou, who is staying with the lord now?" ”

Rob waited outside the tent. Xiahou Yun hurriedly replied.

Hearing Xiahou Yun's answer, Chen Zhi was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Captain Xiahou, if the assassins are really hidden underground, they may soon dig the tunnel into the lord's big tent, and even if there are more people outside the tent, it will be useless." You'd better hurry up and go back to protect your lord. ”

Although Chen Zhi didn't say much to Xiahou Yun, with Xiahou Yun's IQ, she realized the seriousness of the problem after only listening to a few words between him and Dian Wei, and she hurriedly agreed and walked quickly towards Han Zhan's tent.

Dian Wei looked at Xiahou Yun's distant back, and asked Chen Zhi tentatively: "Uncle Zhi, do I need to bring someone over to protect the lord immediately?" ”

"General Ziman," Chen Zhi stopped Dian Wei and said to him, "Captain Xiahou has returned to the lord's tent, and he can hold on to him for the time being. We'll wait to see if there's anyone underground, and then we'll decide what to do. ”
