"Look there, could it be the place where the cannon is hidden?" Wang Benliang pointed to the protruding boulder and whispered to Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang replied in a low voice: "It's possible, but there is no one to guard there, if it is really a place where the cannon is hidden, then those two Jurchens should be nearby, and we can't go out of the woods now, otherwise we will definitely be discovered." ”

As soon as Zhang Cang's voice fell, he heard a "snap", and there was a sound of a tree branch breaking not far ahead.

When the two looked back, they saw a Jurchen staggering to his feet with his pants lifted.

Zhang Cang snorted and said, "People outside the fan are unbearable to educate. ”

Wang Benliang laughed in a low voice and said, "Fortunately, we didn't step on it." ”

Zhang Cang frowned and said, "Farming, can't you say something good?" ”

Wang Benliang is nicknamed a farmer, so other people in the Thirteen Poor Ghost Gate ridicule him for being a farmer.

"The time we have been here will not be short, people have three urgency, I don't believe that you don't have a time when you can't hold back."

When the two were talking, the Jurchen had already walked out of the woods towards the convex stone, and just after he got closer, another Jurchen came out from the hidden place of the mountain pass, and the two seemed to say something, but they couldn't hear it when they were far away, and even if they could hear it clearly, they couldn't understand it, and the two Jurchens were speaking Jurchen words.

Now that they had found traces of the Jurchens, there was no doubt that what was covered under the branches and stones was artillery, so the two separated and hid.

At night, Zhang Cang quietly approached and confirmed the two cannons that had been covered up before returning to the forest to continue hiding.

In the suburbs of the city, during the day, several secret guards took turns looking at the front and back doors, and at night, Qiu Fei sneaked into the house where the Jurchens were hiding again, and the guards behind the door were dozing, he quietly passed the aisle house, and looked at the backyard, this glance surprised him, all the firearms covered with oilcloth he saw during the day disappeared out of thin air.

There were people staring at the door of this house all day long, and it was impossible for anyone to come out from under their noses without being discovered, not to mention that there were still so many firearms, even if it wasn't for them, even ordinary people would watch so many goods being shipped out. And they also went out to inquire today, and no one has heard that there are many shipments coming in here recently.

Then there is only one truth, there is authenticity.

If someone smuggles the goods away under their noses, then their mission is a complete failure.

Although he lost his firearm, Qiu Fei didn't rush back to find a way, he explored the past one by one outside several houses in the backyard, only one room that seemed to be a study was still lit, Qiu Fei lowered his body and leaned under the window to listen to the sound inside, there seemed to be two people inside, but they were all Jurchen, Qiu Fei couldn't understand a word.

He poked a little of the window paper and glanced quickly inside, and there were two large men sitting in the room, one with a full face and a few circles of gauze wrapped around his head. Because he was afraid that the shadow would be detected by the window inside, Qiu Fei only took a general look, but the image and appearance of the two people were also remembered.

At this moment, Qiu Fei heard the sound of laughter in the courtyard behind him, and looked back, it was a large well in the courtyard, and the lid on it was moved from below to make a sound, and at this time, the door of the study was also opened from the inside with a creak.

Qiu Fei's figure swept by, and the person who opened the door only felt that something was passing in front of him, but when he looked again, he didn't find anything, and Qiu Fei also found a sheepfold in the backyard and got in.

"But? (Jurchen words 'who') "It was the Jurchen Guolai who opened the door, and Guolai was the son of Amin, the owner of the Jurchen Eight Banners with Blue Flags."

Although he was not sure what had passed in front of him, he still opened his mouth to ask, and then he saw a man jump out of the well, and the man who had been sent to transport firearms had returned, and Golai did not think much about it.

"Deputy Commander, the firearms have been transported out of the secret passage and hidden, and when the remaining firearms are ready, they can be transported to Tianjin Wei. (Later, the Jurchen words are all in Chinese if they are not plotted, don't spray unrealistic)" The first Jurchen who came out of the secret passage saw Guo Lai come forward to report.

"Well, let's all go and rest."

After Guo Lai finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the room, someone outside kept talking, Qiu Fei didn't dare to show his head, until there was no sound at all, Qiu Fei came out to check, the silence in the courtyard was restored, and the mouth of the well, which was out of the people, was covered again, thinking that there was no one inside.

Qiu Fei jumped out of the sheepfold, tiptoed to the edge of the wellhead, gently lifted the manhole cover and moved it away, jumped in with a flash, and then lowered his body to close the wellhead again.

It is said to be a wellhead, but in fact it is just a secret passage disguised as a wellhead, and the upper edge of the entrance is no more than chest-high from the bottom to the bottom, and then there is a downward ramp.

After closing the manhole cover, it was pitch black inside, reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, Qiu Fei was afraid that there would be guards inside, and he didn't dare to light the fire fold to light the road, so he could only grope his way down, and after walking more than 30 steps, the secret passage was no longer down, it became a flat secret passage, the height of the downward slope was less than one person standing upright, but the secret passage below was very spacious, eight feet high, and although this secret passage was still very gray, it seemed that some light could be seen not far ahead, Qiu Fei reached out and touched a wall of the secret passage, and touched the road under his feet, Covered in dry dirt, it looks like this passage has been dug for a long time.

Qiu Fei walked in the direction of the bright light, the bright light became more and more obvious, and after walking about thirty or forty steps, it was a secret passage that turned to the left, and there was a torch on this secret passage every seven or eight zhang, which illuminated the entire secret passage very brightly.

Along the way, Qiu Fei cautiously walked along the secret passage, although there were some twists and turns with no end in sight, but he could feel that the road had not changed direction, except for a turn in the middle but soon the direction changed again.

After walking slowly for nearly an hour, there was an upward ramp in front of him, Qiu Fei estimated the distance in his heart, and he had almost walked more than ten miles from the beginning of the shaft, and the change of direction in the middle should have been staggered from both ends, and then connected after digging through the middle, so it seems that this secret passage should have been planned a long time ago, and it should have been used more than once.

After Qiu Fei went up the ramp this time, he found that the exit here was different from that house, without any camouflage, and the secret passage was directly facing outward, as if a hole had been dug in the wall somewhere, rather than opening upwards like the mouth of the well.

The entrance to the cave was covered by thick branches and leaves, because Qiu Fei didn't know if there was anyone guarding the cave, so he didn't dare to open the branch rashly and go out, and waited inside for almost a moment, seeing that there was no sound outside, he carefully opened a little branch, revealing a hole the size of a skull.

After waiting for a moment and seeing that there was no reaction outside, he quietly poked his head out to check, there was a mountain forest outside, and the entrance to the cave was only opened on a small dirt bag.

Seeing that it was safe outside, Qiu Fei opened the branches and walked out of the secret passage, and then carefully covered the branches and leaves to restore their original appearance.

After restoring the entrance to the cave, Qiu Fei quickly found a place to hide, and then looked at this place carefully, the mountain is not high, the forest is not dense, and most of the trees around him are low and small-leaved trees, which should be on the periphery of the mountain forest, and the residents near the mountain forest often go to the mountain forest to cut firewood, so tall trees are not common in the periphery, and the needles and broad-leaved trees are the trees that should be in the depths of the forest.

According to the distance, it should still be near the capital, but Qiu Fei can't see where this is, after the firearms are transported out of the secret passage, they will leave traces, and they should be able to trace the whereabouts of the firearms along the traces, but he can't confirm whether this batch of firearms was transported away or hidden nearby, if not, then there will definitely be Jurchen guards nearby, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.

After observing for a moment, Qiu Fei had a plan, he followed the traces left by the heavy artillery, and it didn't take long to see a small piece of fire not far ahead. Qiu Fei did not follow the traces further, but circled towards the firelight, and when he got closer, Qiu Fei saw eight people gathered around a fire, on which was a roast sheep, and from time to time someone used a knife to cut a few pieces of meat, and two of these eight people were wearing Han clothes.

Behind these eight people were the firearms covered with tarpaulins that they had seen in the courtyard during the day, and there were many more than the number in the courtyard, and there was no sense of camouflage or disguise there, it was estimated that there were more times of transportation, and it was clear that few people would come here, and this group of people would not even look at those firearms.

Qiu Fei walked around behind the firearms behind the eight people, hiding his body in the piles of firearms, which were very close to the eight people eating roast sheep, and they could smell the aroma of roast sheep, and the words of these people also passed into Qiu Fei's ears word for word.

I only heard one of them: "Don't complain, you can't eat such a good roast lamb in your gang, na, take this roast leg of lamb." ”

Another said: "No one has come here, why do you need so many people to guard it?" What's more, we're just helping you deliver the goods, and this roast lamb tastes really good, but it's still not as comfortable as lying on the bed with a woman in your arms. ”

"It's better to be cautious, if something happens and you need to transport a batch first, you still need to come forward, even if we have the road issued by your Ming officials, there will still be people to check it, only if you come forward, those people will not check the road when they see it."

"I don't know how long I'm going to stay in this damn place."

"It's almost fast, nearly half of them have been shipped, and it will be almost finished in half a month."

"Alas, it will take another half a month." Listening to the sound of "pop", this person seemed to have killed a mosquito, and then continued: "The mosquitoes here must be all female, I like our group of old men so much, I am about to be squeezed dry by them." ”

"Hahahaha......", the other people laughed together when they heard this.

Next, while eating roast lamb, this group of people chatted with each other about some innocuous words, occasionally telling a meat joke or telling a joke, and the atmosphere was happy.

It wasn't until they finished eating, and Qiu Fei felt that the fire was a little smaller, that the few people stopped chatting, and two people stood up and walked towards the hole that Qiu Fei came from, and the others fell asleep by the fire.
