Chapter 422
Therefore, the remaining night owls in the county town of Zhangye are all a little afraid of the task of going out of the city to find the traces of the mysterious army.
But I am afraid that if I can't solve the problem, I will be sent to the wrong place, and what can I do as a grassroots worker? The only thing I can do is to pray in my heart that when the people above arrange the tasks in the future, I will never assign this errand to my head. So at this time, when the night stalker he saw returned to the house after reporting the news to the night stalker commander, that is, the moment the night stalker pushed the door in, everyone in the house turned their heads to look at it, and saw that it was the night stalker, so they couldn't help but take half a step back.
The night owl who had just entered the door saw the reaction of everyone in the room. Secretly, he couldn't help but shake his head. As an intelligence officer, the most taboo thing is to be frightened by the target, because if they are frightened by the target, then how can they, the night owls, make a plan for the mission goal and unswervingly implement it?
Thinking of this, the night stalker who had just entered the door had mixed feelings in his heart, one was because he had never seen this kind of expression on the night stalker's face since he entered the night stalker and started working, and the other was because he had sensed that this rebellion was bound to end in failure from his previous conversation with the night stalker.
And once it fails, these night owls in front of them are fortunate to have this glimmer of life, and the management of themselves and those who are extremely likely to know the inside story, one counts as one, and no one wants to live. Although he hadn't met Li Wenyuan a few times, he hadn't spoken to Li Wenyuan positively. But he had vaguely read it from Li Wenyuan's usual style of acting, although Li Wenyuan usually looks gentle and elegant, and he is a virtuous king who is sympathetic to his subordinates, but if someone really makes him aware of the danger, then Li Wenyuan can directly kill the person who makes him feel dangerous without any psychological burden.
Therefore, although this night stalker was scolded by the night stalker leader before, the resentment in his heart against the night stalker leader can be said to be close to the limit. But after all, the two of them are now grasshoppers on a rope, and no matter who is caught by Li Wenyuan, they will definitely die. It may even implicate his family, so no matter how dissatisfied this night stalker is with the night stalker leader in his heart, he can only endure it at this time and continue to cooperate with the night stalker's work, if nothing else, for the sake of the family in his family.
The night owl in the house did not hide the horror in his eyes when he saw that everyone in the room had dishes on their faces. Then he said to the people in the room, "Brothers, colleagues. None of the brothers who had been sent out had returned to deliver the letter. I also know that you must be very scared to go out of the city to find out the details of that mysterious enemy army.
This is not surprising, who is to change it, knowing that his companions have disappeared outside the city without knowing it, and his life and death are uncertain, he will have some fear in his heart. So I understand your thoughts very well. Therefore, this time, I will not directly name and let the brothers go out of the city to inquire about the news, as I did before. Let's let the selection of people this time all be decided by God. ”
After saying that, the night owl waved to the outside of the house, and the next person next to him brought in a box from outside. There is a circular opening in the top of the chest, and the remaining five sides are closed tightly boarded. The night stalkers in the house naturally knew about it, and this thing was nothing else, it was a lottery box they used when assigning tasks to random groups, and in the box was the names of the more than 300 night stalkers who served in Zhangye County.
Usually when they were in groups, this night owl did it, he first reached into the box, stirred it a few times, and then took out a paper ball from inside. Open it and look at it, whose name is written on the paper ball, and whoever responds to it. So until the whole paper ball is opened, no one knows who is drawn. So in this kind of embarrassing situation, it is naturally fair to use the lottery box to decide who will go out of the city to investigate the news of the mysterious army, and the night stalkers in the house also agree with this method.
Speaking of which, it should be mentioned that from beginning to end, these grassroots night owls did not know that the army that had been going out of the city to investigate the specific movements was the regular army of the Western Regions led by Li Wenyuan. Whether it is the night stalker commander or the night stalker just now, they all said to the grassroots night stalkers that someone in the territory reported that a mysterious army was found and was heading towards Zhangye County, and who led this army? What is the goal? But I don't know at all, so I have to send a grassroots night owl to find out the relevant news.
This is an explanation from these two people to the people below, after all, if they really tell these night owls that they are going to investigate the regular army of the Western Regions led by Li Wenyuan, then eight out of ten of these grassroots night owls will definitely have to pick and quit directly. may even join forces to send these two people to the government, so the two chose to hide this matter and not report it. Therefore, the night owls who investigated the news before did not know that they had fallen for the trick of those two people until the last moment of their lives, and inadvertently became the accomplices of the two of them in the rebellion against Li Wenyuan.
Of course, it is impossible to say that these two people, as the leaders of the night stalkers, do not have their own die-hard fans at the grassroots level. For example, the monkey-faced man who was killed earlier is one of the die-hard fans of the Night Stalker. He knows the inside story, and he is still determined to follow the night owl to lead a path to the dark.
Soon, after a simple sacrifice to heaven and earth, the night owl reached into the lottery box. Under the gaze of many night owls in the room, it began to stir slowly inside. After about four or five turns, he jerked his hand down, grabbed a note, and took it out and placed it on the red cloth on a wooden tray held by the night owl next to him.
Twenty people were drawn back and forth, and the night owl secretly calculated in his heart, about twenty people went out, and it was almost enough. So he ordered someone to carry the lottery box down. He came to the side of the wooden pallet, and said solemnly to the many night owls in the house:
