Since you want to spend the night here, you can only settle dinner here.

Although there were post stations along the way, it was a long journey after all, so the convoy still brought some dry food.

After a simple meal, the night has completely covered the sky, and the only sound of rain is left in the whole world.

"My lord, the sentry has been arranged, you can rest assured!" Chen Xiaoting came to Shen Yue's side and said.

With such a heavy rain in the world, how could Shen Yue be able to sleep, only to hear him say: "Xiaoting, don't worry about your work!" ”

Looking at Shen Yue's posture is to have a long chat, which is not a common opportunity for Chen Xiaoting.

Then he replied, "Returning to my lordship, this is the duty of the lowly office!" ”

Shen Yue smiled, and then said, "The matter of Kuyan Ranch, you are also doing well!" ”

This was the first time Shen Yue mentioned this matter, but Chen Xiaoting didn't dare to take credit, so he only listened to him: "The adults praise falsely, it is an honor to be able to share the worries of the adults!" ”

Although these words are extremely stylized, they are exactly what Chen Xiaoting should say at this time.

Shen Yue was also very satisfied when he heard it, and being a subordinate could remain humble at all times really made him feel at ease.

The two chatted in the house, but the heavy rain outside the house was still pouring, and the captains on duty did not dare to relax for a moment.

In addition to the captains on duty, there were also people who were drenched in the rain farther away from the thatched huts.

These are two sturdy men, and you can tell from the clothes they are wearing that these two people are by no means local mountain people.

Now they hide under the grass where they lie and watch ahead, where the lights are their target.

"Looks like these people are staying here, we can go back and tell the boss!" One of the scarred men said.

Immediately, the two of them cautiously crawled back, for fear of alarming the captain on duty around the hut.

After leaving some distance, the two men quickly got up and ran north.

Soon the men found a cave, and there was still light in the cave, and the entrance was guarded.

"Old Five, it's us!"

After identifying themselves, the two entered the cave and felt the temperature rise make them feel comfortable for a while.

At this time, there were three people sitting around the fire, and the person sitting in the innermost part saw the person who was investigating the situation coming back, so he shouted outside: "Old five, you also come in!" ”

So, a group of six of them, sat neatly around the fire.

Each of them was holding a loaf of bread in his hand and baking it, and he heard the leader ask, "How is the situation?" ”

The man with the scar who went out to inquire about the situation said: "Big brother, I took a closer look just now, and the surname Shen lives here tonight!" ”

The leader of the man nodded, and then said, "How many people did they send on duty, and what is the specific distribution?" ”

Afterwards, the man with the scar told the situation in detail.

After listening to the report, after swallowing a bite of bread for the leader, he said to his five brothers: "Eat well and rest, and let's do it in the middle of the night!" ”

Everyone else nodded directly, but at this time, the man with the scar couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, I really don't understand, why the sect only sent a few of us over, wouldn't it be better to send more people?" ”

The man with the scar held back this question for a long time, but he didn't dare to ask more questions because of his eldest brother's majesty and canons, but he couldn't care so much about his life soon.

And this question also surfaced on other people's faces at this time, so that the leader had to take care of the emotions of his subordinates.

So he replied: "Originally, the sect wanted to send more people, but if there are too many people, it is easy to be exposed, and if we run into officials and soldiers on the road, we will all have to die with our guys!" ”

"What's more, Shen Yue has sent people to watch in front of and behind his team, and it is easy to be found if there are too many of us!"

And the most sinful thing is that they can't ride horses if they want to play black, and there are too many people to walk.

After explaining this, the man at the head stood up and said to his subordinates: "Brothers, we are all old people in the sect, and the rules of the sect are naturally clear!" ”

"Our family will have someone to take care of, and it will be difficult for you and me to save our lives after this action, and I will forget you to think about your relatives at home, don't leave a living!"

Hearing this, the hearts of everyone present were heavy, and no matter whose life began to count down, they could not keep their hearts calm.

The six of them and their families are all linked together, and as long as one of them is arrested and confides in the news, the lives of the six families will not be saved.

The White Lotus Sect was the Holy Mother when it recruited its members, but only these senior members knew what kind of organization the White Lotus Sect was.

"Big brother, rest assured, since we have promised to teach by example, it is our honor to return to the Divine Mother!" A man said in a deep voice.

With the first person to express his position, everyone else also expressed their attitude, and a team of dead soldiers was formed.

took out a water bladder, and the man at the head said: "We are all good brothers, we drink the last sip of wine today, and we will be brothers in the next life!" ”

These words were even more bitter to hear, and after the leader of the men took a sip, the wine bag was passed among the remaining men.

The atmosphere in the cave is still heavy, and it is difficult to sleep even if you enjoy the warmth while lying by the fire at this time.

In the minds of these people, the pictures of their wives and children at home appear in turn.

As the moon rises, the torrential rain gradually turns into heavy rain, which has weakened into a drizzle in the middle of the night.

The third correction in the middle of the night is the time to be sleepy, but Chen Xiaoting has set up two shifts of sentry, so now it is time to hand over.

Liu Jianping put on his armor and said to the oncoming shepherd: "Brother Mu, I've worked hard for you!" ”

Shepherd Ge carried his saber and said as he left: "You are lucky, the rain will stop when it comes!" ”

It was up to the two of them to decide who would come first and who would come second, so Rain Mu Changge could only blame himself for being unlucky, and now he just wanted to hurry in and sleep.

After Mu Changge left, Liu Jianping tidied up his armor and walked around the hut.

The nine lieutenants under his command were scattered around the hut, leaving only one guard at the door of the hut.

In fact, everyone had just woken up at this time, and their spirits were very good, so Liu Jianping didn't find anything wrong.

As a small flag officer, Liu Jianping naturally didn't have to stand outside, and after two circles, he returned to the hut, and then wiped the knife by candlelight.

And in the place where the scar man was watching, at this time, the six big men were hiding here, and the leader of the men was quietly observing the situation.

At this time, the man with the scar asked, "Big brother, when are we going to do it?" ”

After thinking about it, the leader said: "Don't worry, wait for half an hour, let's do it!" ”

Wait for another half an hour, the purpose is to let the captains on duty slack off, and then there is a chance to take advantage of it.

Actually, it's also to blame that they came a little late, and if they arrived half an hour before the changing of the guard, it would be a great opportunity to get their hands dirty.

So, now they can only wait and pray that God will rain a few more drops of rain.

With the sound of rain as a cover, their operation is more likely to succeed.

At this moment, there was another thunderclap in the sky.
