Chapter 176: The Righteous Soldier
Usually the night in Wugu City is very desirable, it belongs to the northern part of the Star World, and the weather is colder, but people still can't stop their enthusiasm, even if they are wrapped in thick cotton jackets, they have to go out at night.
Wugu City is relatively large, and there are restaurants on both sides of the main street, where the soldiers on duty during the day will drink a grain and wine. This kind of utensils, which are often used to punish wine, are like a horizontal horn, rectangular with a circled foot, a lid, and mostly in the shape of a beast, which can hold wine and drink! The hearts of the soldiers are always ignited by a glass of wine, and when the steam rises in the streets, they eat some side dishes and drink wine, and talk about life, which is also a very pleasant thing!
There are a lot of snacks on the street, and the nights are cold all year round, but even if the children have a cold nose, they have to buy something they like to eat. The gluttonous dinner seemed to be in vain, and the parents smiled at the vendors who sold snacks, helpless and pampered.
A few of the big lanterns on the main street didn't go out until the middle of the night, unlike now, just after seven o'clock, and less than an hour after dark, the lanterns went out early!
The whole city was filled with darkness, and a cold wind passed through every side street and every avenue unhindered. The bleak atmosphere was chilling, and all the people did not forget to glance in the direction of the palace before going to bed, hoping that their lord would not be tormented, and all they could do was to be at the mercy of others and pray sincerely.
There was no sound from the tiled buildings, and the whole city was like a dead city, so dead and silent! It was so silent that the sound of opening the door was as loud as thunder.
"Shh
The bearded man with the hat hurriedly entered the room, and when the door closed, they did not speak, but walked directly down the basement. The basement, which was supposed to be pitch black, was exceptionally bright, and with the two people who had just arrived, there were four of them. Three of them were men and one woman, and as soon as the bearded man came, the woman asked worriedly:
"How's it going?"
"Master Jiang has already made the antidote. ”
"That crazy old man is a genius!"
"Indeed!"
The mad old man they called him was called Jiang Wuchen, an old man who lived alone in the most remote part of the city, because it was the place where all the ashes of the dead were kept. No matter who died in the city, he had to be burned into dust by his hands, and at first a few people who were poisoned resisted, but they were killed by the "mercenaries", and he began to study the corpse after he got it.
He is also a witch physician, and after carefully analyzing the dead poison Gu, he has made an antidote!
"Now that the antidote is here, are we moving on to the next step?"
"We'll have to wait!"
As Leylin spoke, the other three all sighed.
"I know you're in a hurry, and I'm in a hurry! I can't wait to kill Lu Teng's brute right now! But our strength is not enough, and if there is a mistake, it will delay the overall situation. ”
"Tell me about your plans!"
"Five mercenaries died outside the city last night, and they were all kicked to death. We don't know who the killer is, but whoever it is is helpful to us. Today, these mercenaries have begun to redeploy, and the guards in the city have become stricter, we have to wait until the three giants in the palace are scattered to infiltrate, otherwise the odds are too small!"
When they all nodded, Leylin asked:
"Lei Qing, where did you dig the tunnel?"
"It's almost under the prison. ”
"Keep digging, and when you're done, hide it, and don't let it be discovered." ”
"Understood. ”
"Manager, how are you doing here?"
"I put the note in the meal when I brought someone in to deliver the meal today, and the commander of the Jiang Ming Army should have seen it!"
"Okay~ They are strictly guarded! From tomorrow, we will slowly mix the antidote into their meals, so that their poison can be relieved a little first, and pay attention to the store manager! I would rather release less antidote than be discovered by them. ”
"Understood!"
They all knew that every time they delivered food, those mercenaries would check every bucket of rice and vegetables, so that they could only eat when they were cold, which showed that they checked carefully.
It is said that there are three signs of a man's maturity, one is crow's feet, the second is a beard, and the third is dark skin. Lei Lin accounted for all three, and his face was full of vicissitudes. They weren't soldiers, just ordinary people in Wugu City, but they secretly gathered hundreds of capable people and started this operation without telling everyone.
The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better!
"Lu Teng will regret it, he was a thief and only put us under house arrest in order not to be noticed by other city-states, he definitely didn't think that we would use this method. ”
"Hmm!"
Leylin thought the operation was not bad, but as they continued, he booed.
"Beware of the ears on the wall!"
"This is the basement, huh?"
"No, it doesn't matter where you are, it's no good to say it, just know it yourself. ”
"Good!"
"I will continue to keep in touch with Jiang Wuchen, he has recently increased the production of this pill, and after the tunnels are dug up, we will give them the things together. Remember, be careful!"
"Don't worry, brother, I'll deliver it myself. ”
"Good!"
Lei Lin placed a packet of black pills on the table, and under the light, the black pills glowed with a little luster. It's that bit of luster that gives them hope that they can do it!
"These are not enough for one person, so mix them into the rice first. ”
"Understood!"
Lei Qing and Lei Lin were originally just teachers, they didn't have much kung fu, they were born burly, and now the city-state is in trouble, no matter what, they can't stand idly by!
"I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, and inform everyone that everyone under them, whether it's the first team digging tunnels, the second team responsible for delivering food and inquiring about news, or the third team preparing for battle, they must pay attention to safety. The chance to give it a go is coming!"
"Yes!"
"Also, Lu Teng started to arrest the people into the palace at noon today, probably to force the city lord to tell about the road to heaven, and if he has the opportunity tomorrow, he will publicize it to everyone, understand?"
"Understand, I'd rather die than give in!"
"Well, this is the last dignity of the people of Wugu City!"
When the three of them nodded solemnly, Lei Lin quickly left.
"It's a pity that such a good defense equipment in our Wugu City was occupied by them!"
"Yes, otherwise, with their strength, they will definitely not be able to attack Wugu City. ”
Lei Qing thought that it would be good if he could take the initiative to lure a giant out, so that the initiative would be on their side! But helplessly, how should they attract it? Their strength was not enough for those three people who could summon the star god to make a move.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, go to bed if you're fine!"
The woman hurried away, and the shopkeeper asked:
"What's wrong with your sister-in-law?"
"I don't know, I guess I'm angry with my brother!"
"What, her off?"
"Since the day the mercenaries were exposed, the eldest brother hasn't been home!"
"Hey!"
The shopkeeper sighed, Lei Lin is really a righteous man!
Walking in the dark, Leylin walked to a familiar courtyard door, which he knew so well that he knew that the threshold on the left was higher than the threshold on the right, that the spare key was on the door frame, and that there were two potted plants behind the door.
Leylin hesitated and didn't step in, not even a single step away. Suddenly, there were arms open behind his back, and a body with the wind came towards him. Dark night is a time when everyone has to be afraid, and now that there are mercenaries on duty at night, the night has become a camouflage field for them to kill without explanation, and anyone who wanders around the streets will be mercilessly slaughtered.
In the face of the wind behind him, Lei Lin still didn't move!
"Good work. ”
With his arms around Leylin's shoulders, he smelled the familiar scent of hair, like the ink he was used to.
"I'm sorry!"
Leylin knew who was coming behind him, he knew her all too well.
"Milan. ”
Leylin called her name, telling her to let go of the hand around her chest.
"Go back to sleep, obedient!"
"Hmm!"
Mi Lan's long hair is coiled into cloud sideburns, and the melon seed face in the night is affectionately attached to Lei Lin's back. When Leylin left, she exhaled and went home without hesitation to lock the courtyard door. Lei Qing may have thought she was angry, but in fact she didn't, in order not to worry him, she had to be stronger!
They are not children of rich and noble families, and they know what mutual understanding means from an early age. Mi Lan fell asleep, Lei Lin was still running around, he must defend this city-state, he has no special identity, but some people are born righteous!
He evaded the mercenary patrol and entered a large gloomy courtyard, and at the same time, people outside the city began to move.
He was the wind of the night, moving quickly, the figure in the air flashed, and then more than a dozen people fell down suddenly, when Qian Ling really released his strength, when his meteorite jade pendant released a bright light, he became a Shura! There was not even a scream in the dark night, only the cold air visible to the naked eye!
Xuan Xuan looked at the city-state at the edge of the woods, and said to Xing Zeyuan worriedly:
"My father is still in there. ”
"What about Mother?"
"Dead!"
"I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay Captain, I'm so worried about my father, I don't know what happened to him?"
"Don't worry! The fake mercenaries will be forced out by us, and then you can save your father with Poor Ling! By the way, you also said that these 'mercenaries' have a purpose, and your father will be fine until the goal is achieved. You should trust him!"
"Uh-huh~ Thank you, Captain. ”
Squeezed in a young shadow from between the two of them, Xing Zeyuan said helplessly:
"Why are you everywhere?"
Although Xing Zeyuan's tone was soft and there was no feeling of scolding, the young you, who was full of anticipation, still pouted, as if he had been wronged.
"You said it, I'll come and tell you to go back at one o'clock, see for yourself. ”
In the moonlight, it's really a little bit! Looking at Xing Zeyuan with a young and resentful look, what's the matter?
"I'm sorry~"
Xing Zeyuan was a little embarrassed, in fact, he was too sensitive, if other people were like this, he would definitely not be disgusted.
"Let's go. ”
"Hmm!"
slept until dawn, and this time Lu Teng went completely crazy. Twenty-seven people died overnight?
Lu Teng angrily called Ah Di and An Tu over.
"Ah Di, you go out of the city to check!"
"Yes!"
"An Tu, let's go!"
"Good!"
Walking into the prison, Lu Teng shouted at the people in the prison:
"Why, do you still want to resist until now?"
Jiang Ming, who was sitting in the crowd, frowned, this is not good, was discovered?
