Chapter 6: Stealth
Liu Ji only brought ten people, and the criterion for his selection was not height and fitness, but flexibility, the only exception was that Xu Guangjing would follow whatever he said.
They were half a day younger than Yang Pre and the others, and when they arrived, the people were being driven out of their homes one after another, and they were indignant when they saw it, because although these people were not Tang people, they were also people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, how could they be treated like this?
Long before they set out, in order to lighten their loads, they took off their armor, took only swords and crossbows, and hid them under their robes, looking like a merchant on the road, or servants of a large family who went out hunting.
Before the operation, Liu Ji scattered with them, and inquired at various intersections, and saw the same situation as Yang Yu, they didn't even arrange a light and dark sentry, and they had an idea right away.
"Get off the horse, let's dive in." Seeing Xu Guangjing's tall body, he couldn't help but remind: "You are so tall, how can you hide, go and follow behind, don't stand up straight." ”
Xu Guangjing couldn't, so he had to follow at the back of the group, leaving the horses in the local area, walking through the fields, and quickly approaching the market where they were staying.
Too much time has passed, and there are already many sergeants in the town who have finished their fun-seeking, they gather together in twos and threes, talking and laughing unscrupulously, Liu Ji and the others use the courtyard wall and trees as a cover, bypassing those unsuspecting sergeants, and slowly moving towards the center of the town.
"This group of dogs and wolves raised them." Listening to the voice in his ears, his people were all angry, and some couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, Liu Ji had to stop, beckoned them to his side, and said in a low voice.
"There are only ten of us, and there are two thousand cavalry outside, if you can't control your emotions, don't go any longer as soon as possible, lest they find out and catch them all, from now on, no one is allowed to make a sound, all words are done with gestures, just like we fought before."
Liu Ji had consciously trained various combat gestures as early as when they started from Xiao Bolu, and after such a long time of strengthening, most of them were remembered by them, but many people had died in previous battles, and there were very few left, so he could only select these ten people.
After admonishing him, he instructed Xu Guangjing, who was walking at the end: "You will enforce military discipline, and anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from the team, hide in place or withdraw on their own, once the enemy finds out, no one will save them, and our only goal now is Wang Weiliang." ”
His words were very cold, and it also made everyone understand that it was not a joke, everyone nodded one after another, not daring to make any more noise, Liu Ji immediately made a scattered gesture, and asked them to re-align themselves and follow behind them.
In this way, they walked slowly in front of and behind the house, until under a wall, Liu Ji stopped, and had a short exchange with the two sergeants behind him with gestures, and the two got up and came out of the way, sneaked to the intersection on both sides of the road in front of them, and then turned around and told them what they saw.
Liu Ji waited patiently, and soon there was news, a sergeant made a gesture for the person coming from the front, they quickly bowed down, only to see a drunken guy naked, just walked out, stood under a big tree to untie the hakama, and happily put the water.
He reacted immediately, informing the two to continue observing, but he quietly stood up, approached the man with a sharp and rapid movement, and under the gaze of the sergeants, sneaked behind the other party, a sharp hand knife, slammed into the back of his neck, and when the body was about to fall, he took over and caught it, holding his shoulders with both hands, and dragged the person back backwards.
Back in the corner, Liu Ji used his fingers to wake him up, in order to prevent him from suddenly making a sound, he pressed the other party's mouth, and at the same time pulled out a short knife, and gestured in front of his eyes, the person who had not yet recovered from the blow looked at the bright knife light in front of him, revealing a frightened expression.
"I ask you to answer, wrong once, blind in one eye, wrong three times, you don't have to talk anymore, blink when you hear clearly, understand?" The man blinked again and again, for fear that if he disagreed, he would be stabbed.
"Where is Wang Weiliang?"
After Liu Ji asked, he didn't let go of the hand that covered his mouth, and the man couldn't speak, so he had to point back with his hand.
"A few rooms away from here, just a few blinks away." The man heard it clearly, and blinked three times in a row, and Liu Ji confirmed it again, and he blinked again and again, indicating that it was this number.
Liu Ji had a number in his heart, and in order to verify, he ordered a sergeant to go and investigate, until the news was confirmed, and it was indeed a big mansion in front of him, and there were many people in it, so he knocked the man unconscious with one palm, tied it with the rope he brought, and dragged it to the back of the big tree where he had urinated, as long as he didn't approach it deliberately, it was difficult to find his existence.
With a clear goal, he immediately led the people to continue to sneak, and slowly approached the mansion, which was mostly inhabited by large households. From the outside, the courtyard wall looks a little high, and the two of them standing together may not be able to catch the wall.
Liu Ji beckoned to Xu Guangjing, who hurriedly ran to his side and squatted down.
"Remember the time in the city of Kabiero, what did we do?"
Xu Guangjing nodded silently, and formed a cross with another sergeant with greater strength, in order to prevent his tracks from being revealed, he did not run, but stood up, and let the two of them work together to throw him up, Liu Ji stretched out his hand to grab the head of the wall, slowly climbed up, and exposed his head.
The location he chose was the backyard, and below it was a large house, which blocked the front, and it was impossible to see how many people were in it for a while, but listening to those loud jokes, it should be the place he was looking for.
He slowly climbed up to the wall, then reached out and pulled up the sergeants below one by one, they slipped down one by one, and finally dragged the unusually heavy Xu Guangjing up with a rope, and after a lot of force, he was so tired that he couldn't stop panting.
After coming down, he leaned on the back of the house to regain his strength, and asked his subordinates to go to inquire about the news, and soon, all kinds of news were sent back one by one.
There are four rooms in the backyard, each of which is independent, not the style of the Han people, there are people in each room, and it is difficult for them to ensure that when they attack one of them, they will not find out, because the doors and windows are closed, it is difficult to tell which one Wang Weiliang will be in for a while.
"He must be in the biggest room." Xu Guangjing interjected, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Who said that rough people can't use their brains, Liu Ji also thinks so, Wang Weiliang's style looks like a stubborn and self-serving, how can he put the big house and squeeze the small house.
