It was late at night, except for the guards on the city wall and the patrol personnel in the city, the Jiangdong sergeants in the city had already fallen asleep, and they were really tired for the past two days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A five-member patrol slowly walked back and forth through the city, listening to the watchman knock "Bang, Bang, Bang" three times, and muttered: "It's all three watches, and you can finally change the guard and sleep well." After speaking, he rubbed his eyes, which were already too sleepy to open, walked into the barracks, and pushed the people who were still asleep, "It's your turn." ”

The awakened sergeant sat up with great reluctance, stretched out his arms and opened his mouth to give a long yawn, without opening his eyes, groping for his clothes, and at the urging of the captain, slowly got up, went out of the tent and lined up, and began their parade in a staggered manner.

"Well, I'm a little hungry."

"Where do you think the grain in this city will be hidden? When I came, I also said that there was too much food here to eat, and when I came, I could eat three meals a day and eat to my heart's content, who knew that it was all mud. ”

"I don't know if I'll be able to ask those people about the whereabouts of the food tomorrow."

"Shut up!" Wu Chang reprimanded them, "Just think about eating." Cheer up, if something goes wrong, you won't be able to save your life, and you'll eat a fart. ”

"I—I'm going to pee."

"Die, it's really lazy people who have a lot of and pee, so how many steps did they come out and walk?" Captain Wu waved his hand impatiently.

The sergeant didn't talk back, turned around and ran to the alley.

Wu Chang was a little angry: "Why are you running so far?" These black lights are blind, and they are all big men, who still rarely looks at you? ”

But the sergeant was standing at the mouth of the alley as if he hadn't heard, and when he shouted here, he went into the alley instead.

Wu Chang was angry, raised his feet and walked over: "What do you want to do?" Look at Lao Tzu if he doesn't kill you! ”

No one in the alley answered, as if they were trying to hide.

Wu Chang carried the lantern and took two steps into the alley: "If you don't come out again, Lao Tzu will ...... directly."

Suddenly, two short arrows flew out of the darkness with a "whoosh", and they were stuck in his throat impartially. The rest of the words were stuck there, unable to speak any more, and then fell to the ground.

"You shouldn't bring this kind of two-arrow crossbow, you can do it alone, and you have to pull out one more arrow now." He Deaf shook his head, dodged out of the darkness, pulled out the short arrow from Wu Chang's throat, wiped it on Wu Chang's body, and put it into the arrow box on the crossbow.

The arrow box on this crossbow can hold twenty short arrows at a time, and there are two small holes, which can be fired at the same time.

The remaining three sergeants waited for a while, and found that even the commander didn't come out, and looked at each other: "Why is it so long, what are the two of them doing inside?" ”

"It's not going to be a fight in there, is it?"

"No, I didn't hear any noise."

"Look, it's coming out." A sergeant noticed the lantern that the captain was holding just now sticking out of the alley.

However, Wu Chang did not come, but kept waving to them, as if to ask them all to pass.

"There is a situation." The three of them immediately grabbed their spears and quickly ran towards the alley.

When Wu Chang saw them coming, he turned around and entered the black alley again, and walked towards the dark place.

"Captain Wu, what's going on?"

"Captain Wu, wait for us, it's dark here, give us the lantern to shine."

While muttering, several figures flashed out of the darkness, and before the three of them could react, they were covered with their mouths and noses, and then their necks were cold, and they were all reimbursed.

Wu Chang turned around in front, it was He Deaf who was pretending, and he was busy ordering his subordinates: "Quickly, drag them all to the tunnel." ”

And on another street, the same thing is going on.

When Lu Meng woke up in the morning, the first thing he did was to ask the former Baqiu residents who had been imprisoned yesterday where the food had been hidden.

As soon as the sergeant drove them all out and stood on the street, a general hurriedly ran to report: "General, something strange happened, the personnel in charge of patrolling after the third watch last night have not returned yet, and it seems that all of them are missing." ”

"All missing? Ten teams, fifty people missing? Lu Meng was also stunned.

The general panted and replied: "Yes, all, all, gone, no one has returned." ”

"Have you sent someone to find it?"

"I've looked for it, but I haven't found any trace of it."

Lu Meng slapped his forehead again: "Didn't even find the corpse?" Did they flee home? ”

"No, the guards at the four gates all said that no one left the city last night."

Have they been assassinated? Lu Meng's eyes swept over the Baqiu people standing in a large area, shouldn't it, the rest are basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and can they still kill fifty sergeants silently? Unlikely.

However, fifty people and ten patrols could not have negotiated and hid to evade military service at the same time, they must have been captured or killed, so where were the people, or where were the bodies hidden?

"Search, search me carefully, search the whole city, don't let go of any corner!" Lu Meng must find the reason.

It was another vigorous search of the whole city, but it was busy for most of the day, and even the weeds on the few small dirt slopes, and even the cellars of some residents who were not found yesterday, still found nothing.

With so many people, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, just like the grain in those dozen or so large granaries.

Lü Meng beat the inhabitants of the city violently, and even killed a dozen people, but he still couldn't ask where there was a hiding place in the city, and where there was such a large hidden place that could accommodate fifty people and so much food.

This is really a ghost, an undead ghost from the depths of the underworld!

"Dig, dig for me! Dig three feet into the ground to find them, live to see people, dead to see corpses! ”

Lu Meng believed that there must be something strange underneath this Baqiu City.

After collecting all the hoes and shovels in the city, the Jiangdong Army selected a few places and dug them up.

In the underground tunnel, Liu He had not yet slept, and heard the sergeant report that there were noises above his head in several places, estimating that the enemy had begun to dig a pit, and called a few sergeants to let them use the prisoners they had kept in advance.

Lu Meng received a report that a man had escaped from a house, saying that he was the advance party who had infiltrated Baqiu City a few days ago, but he was later exposed and was captured by the enemy and imprisoned underground.

Hearing the news, Lu Meng hurriedly rushed over, and when he saw that person, it was indeed the advance party he had selected, and he immediately became happy, after all, it was as if he had failed not so completely.

The man also had a short arrow stuck in his chest, covered in blood, and when he saw Lu Meng, his face was full of tears of excitement, and he cried and shouted: "General! ”

Lu Meng asked him to get up, and asked anxiously, "Tell me your situation clearly." ”

The man recalled: "After we entered the city, we dispersed, thinking that we could contribute to the general's capture of Baqiu New City without attracting the attention of the defenders, but we did not expect that just three days ago, the defenders suddenly attacked and captured almost all of us. I don't know what happened to the others, but I was taken blindfolded to an underground warehouse, guarded by a few enemy troops. Today, they actually hit me on the head, apparently trying to kill me. ”

"I almost got killed. However, maybe it was my fate, I didn't die, I just fainted. When I wake up and find that I am not dead, I have finally found my way out, please help me quickly. ”

Lu Meng hurriedly called the military physician over, and at the same time asked with more concern: "You mean that you are locked up in an underground warehouse?" ”
