"呲~呲~"
Little Shirley is ten years old this year, and she has lived with her father since she was a child, but just some time ago, her father suddenly said that there was something very important to do, and then brought her here.
Little Shirley is a very diligent child, coupled with good manners and obedience, so the nearby residents like her very much, but after less than a week, she quickly won everyone's unanimous appreciation.
"Where the hell did Daddy go?"
After cleaning half of the yard, little Shirley was a little tired, so she couldn't help but rest with a broom, and while looking up at the sky silently, she had melancholy thoughts swirling in her heart.
Due to the hardships of life since childhood, most of the children in this world are more precocious, especially good and obedient children like Xiao Shirley, who are far more mature than their peers.
Xiao Shirley actually had some guesses in her heart about her father's situation, thinking of her father's solemn appearance when he left, Xiao Shirley couldn't help but feel silently sad in her heart, her father must be going to do a very dangerous thing.
For example, Aunt Merry in the yard, I heard that her father also left when she was very young, and then left her here, and has never come back since, and now it has been more than 20 years, but there is still no news at all, everyone actually knows very well in their hearts that Aunt Merry's father may have died a long time ago, otherwise there has been no news for so long.
Little Shirley understands that everything needs to pay a sufficient price, before her father and her life was very hard, often had to wander around, did not have her own house, often had a meal without a meal, but now she can have a relatively stable life, as long as she is willing to work hard, there is enough food to eat, and her own house to rest, this is simply a good life that she has never thought of before.
All of this, little Shirley knows very well, all of them are desperately exchanged by her father, so little Shirley cherishes this very much, and shows very diligence and hard work, she doesn't want her father's hard work to be in vain, but whenever she rests, she still can't help but worry about her father, she is very afraid of her father, like Aunt Merry's father, who never came back.

Bacon took the binoculars and carefully observed the courtyard opposite, this is the territory of the Megan family, the settlement of the family servants, and the subordinates of the servants are also inhabited, and the families of the spies, as hostages, naturally also live here, first, there is family protection, which can avoid worries, and second, there are hostages in hand, and the family can be more at ease with them.
And the courtyard in front of it, most of the people living in it are the families of the spies, which is actually not too much of a secret in the vicinity, everyone has long been accustomed to this, and the supervision is not very strict, and there are four soldiers who take turns guarding the gate of the courtyard.
After all, most of the spies who can be sent out are actually trustworthy candidates, and for so many years, there has basically never been a mistake here, so most of the nobles' supervision of hostages is more casual, and for the convenience of management, the families of these spies often live in the same compound, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, if it is a normal time, there are still many spies here to secretly guard, after all, even if the lord does not pay attention to this place, but their spy group will not, after all, there are many relatives of the spy group, so naturally enough people will always be sent to guard.
It's just that during this time, the lord sent a large number of spies out on a mission, and the manpower of the spy team seemed to be a little stretched, so in order to raise more manpower, the leader above took the initiative to remove these unnecessary details, so now the protection of the spies' families is even weaker.
"It's this little girl! This should be a little girl named Shirley! ”
After probing, Bacon carefully put away the binoculars, and then said to his teammates on the side.
George nodded calmly: "According to the comparison of various characteristics, as well as the information found from the surrounding neighbors, it should be that this little girl is fine." ”
"Now that we've identified the target, when are we going to do it?"
"Don't worry, our team has a total of three targets to rescue this time, in addition to our two little girls in charge of Shirley, there is also a maid named Merry, and a little boy named Tom, we only have one chance to shoot, we must wait until the captain and they are fully ready."
Seeing this, Bacon nodded: "Okay, I'll report the news to the captain first, and you continue to guard the target here." ”
George nodded calmly: "I'm here here, you can go with confidence!" ”

That night, the six-member rescue team quietly gathered, and by this time they had all set their goals, and all of them lived in the opposite compound, just enough for them to catch them all.
There were only four soldiers guarding the compound, and they were still rotating in groups of two and two, and the group in front had just returned to rest, and now was the best time to strike.
The Megan family is an old and middle-class nobleman, with a large village as the family's territory, and the population of the territory is more than 5,000 people, and it is a relatively good nobleman.
It's just that the middle nobles are not strong enough to build their own family castles like the high nobles, so they only have relatively simple manors.
There is a low fence outside the manor, but this is difficult to help the rescue team, as long as this obstacle is passed, the rest of the matter is much easier to say, the village can not afford to build a luxurious wall, some only have simple fences and earthen walls, when the news was explored before, someone has already opened the back road in advance, as long as they escape from the village in time, the rest of the journey is basically a flat river.
The team leader made a gesture to leave, and immediately two of them nodded, and then quietly lurked over.
Although these two people are only regular soldiers, they are both veterans who have been in the mercenary world for several years, and their strength cannot be underestimated, so the strength of the captain and quasi-knight can stabilize one head.
The night was cold, and the two guards were chatting with each other, because there was basically no incident, so the guards here seemed very relaxed, after all, those who could be sent to guard the family compound obviously could not be elite, so the discipline seemed very loose.
Unconsciously, two mercenaries quietly lurked behind them, and then the two guards didn't react at all, so they were directly covered by the mercenaries behind, and then a knife slashed through their throats, and the two guards who were talking and laughing just now have become two corpses.
