Chapter 18 Separate Actions
As soon as Xiang Luyang closed his eyes, he felt that someone was touching him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was an elderly man, Xiang Luyang saw that the old man had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and there was no malice, so he asked: "Old man, do you have anything wrong?" ”
The old man said: "Young man, the old man sees that you are strong and strong, shouldn't you use the word "one" to become a soldier?" Why did you come to the mine with us old, weak, sick and disabled? ”
Xiang Luyang asked puzzledly: "Be a soldier?" ”
The old man said: "There are rules for this number plate, the word "one" is the palace guard, and the word "two" is an ordinary soldier, and to us is a mine coolie,"
Xiang Luyang said: "How do you always know this, I see that the notice outside is not recruiting a family?" ”
The old man said: "My son entered King Kang's Mansion with his friend last month, and said that it was a family member at the time, but then they were all sent to this mine, my son's friend has been clever since he was a child, and escaped while the guards were not paying attention, sent a message to my family, and went away. ”
After listening to the old man's words, Xiang Luyang said: "I took the word "one" at the beginning, but then a young man wanted to change it with me, and I didn't understand what was going on, so I changed it with him, so I came here." ”
The old man shook his head, sighed and said, "Time, luck, and life!" ”
After the old man said this, he stopped talking, and Xiang Luyang saw that the old man no longer continued to speak, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Not long after Xiang Luyang entered the secret passage, Ye Qiushui and others in the inn were gathering together to discuss, how to sneak into the palace and meet Xiang Luyang, it turned out that Ye Qiushui was separated from Xiang Luyang, returned to the inn and took the binoculars to find a relatively high position near the palace, and began to observe the palace, when she saw the layout of the palace, she felt that this courtyard was a little strange, it turned out that there was no one living in this three-entry courtyard, and the whole courtyard was a big school field, just a place for military exercises.
When he saw that Xiang Luyang was taken into a room and never came out, he hurriedly came back to discuss with Luo Tianwu and the others to see what to do next, whether to wait for Xiang Luyang's news, or rescue him first.
After returning to the inn, Luo Tianwu and the others were already there, and after Ye Qiushui told everyone about Xiang Luyang's infiltration into the palace, Ye Qiushui was surprised that these people did not react much, even Wu Ran, who has always been known for his impulsiveness, seemed surprisingly calm this time.
Ye Qiushui looked at Luo Tianwu and asked, "You guys aren't worried about your company commander at all?" ”
Luo Tianwu smiled and said: "Our company commander has carried out too many tasks of makeup reconnaissance, so we don't need to worry about him, but should we do something serious now?" ”
Ye Qiushui said puzzledly: "What else do we have to do, your company commander is not here now." ”
Luo Tianwu said: "Officer Ye, don't forget, our main task here is to arrest Zhu Changming, taking advantage of the chaos to pan for gold is just an expedient measure, we can't forget our primary task just because we want to pan for gold." ”
"Now that Zhu Changming and they have just arrived here, they are not familiar with the place, it is a good opportunity to seize them, if we wait for them to gain a firm foothold or enter the center of power, it will be difficult for us to arrest them."
After listening to Luo Tianwu's words, Ye Qiushui's face turned red, he was patronizing and playing, he even forgot what he was doing here, looking at Luo Tianwu who was staring at him, Ye Qiushui said: "Then what are your plans, now that your company commander is not here, you are the highest commander here, we will listen to you now." ”
Luo Tianwu said: "We will start the division of labor now, this afternoon Tie Zhu and Wu Ran, I will search the city separately to see if we can find Zhu Changming and them." ”
"You and Marco prepare, tomorrow morning to see if we can get into the palace, if we can get in, it's best, if we can't get in, we'll find another way."
Wu Ran said: "Squad leader, isn't this method too passive, or I will sneak directly into the palace tonight and go to meet the company commander, so that it is convenient to communicate back and forth with a message." ”
Luo Tianwu said: "Forget it, we don't know the situation inside yet, in case we startle the snake and affect the actions of the company commander." ”
At this time, Ye Qiushui opened his mouth and said: "Then it's decided, I'll go with Marco to prepare things now, and you guys should start acting." ”
After leaving the inn, Ye Qiushui and Ma Ke first found a grocery store and bought some ropes for climbing, although these ropes were not too thick, but they were more than enough to bear the weight of a person.
Then they went to the blacksmith shop to buy a few hooks, and looking at the things Ye Qiushui had prepared, Ma Ke asked puzzledly: "Officer Ye, what are you preparing these things for, we are not going to rock climbing." ”
Ye Qiushui smiled and said: "Although we are not going to climb, but these things are also essential, you have been to the outside of the palace, you saw the wall, if there are no these things, although we can go up, but if we continue to climb, the body will cost a lot, and then we will lose a city on the body without waiting for the start." ”
Marco said, "Didn't you say that the palace was empty and there was nothing to see?" So what are we doing with all this? Besides, we're going to sneak in now, and we're not sneaking in, how can we bring these things? ”
Ye Qiushui said: "You look quite clever, why are you starting to get confused, since you know that this courtyard is empty, where are all the people who entered the courtyard during the day today?" Look at the surrounding environment of King Kang's Mansion and see where there can accommodate so many people at once? ”
Marco rolled his eyes and said, "You mean, this Kang Wangfu has a secret passage to the outside of the city?" ”
Ye Qiushui said: "Now you know what I'm preparing these things for, right?" ”
Marco said: "Got it, got it, so what are we going to buy now?" ”
Ye Qiushui said: "Don't buy anything now, let's go back to the inn, I want to try it, whether my idea can work, see if you can bring these things into the palace." ”
Marco said: "It's still early, since we don't buy anything, let's find a place to drink some water, I'm going to die of thirst." ”
Ye Qiushui glanced at him and said, "You really have a lot to do." ”
Although he said so, Ye Qiushui still took Marco into a teahouse, after last night, now the order in the city has basically been restored, and there are more people in the teahouse, Ye Qiushui and Marco found a table on the side and sat down, asked for a pot of tea and snacks, sat there, while drinking tea, while listening to the people in the teahouse chatting.
The most these people talked about yesterday's explosion, while congratulating their lives, they were guessing the cause of the explosion randomly, and after listening to it for a while, Ye Qiushui felt that it was not interesting, and they were about to call Marco to get up and leave, but at this moment, the content of the chat of several people not far away attracted Ye Qiushui's attention.
