Chapter 406: Infiltration
Xiyu Town is located next to the traffic artery, so the flow of people in and out is relatively large, and there are also a lot of merchants and pawns, which can be described as mixed, the key is that Xiyu Town will not carefully check the ownership of the forces, because many people who come here are not visible, if they are too strict, it will have a great impact on economic development, these people are their main source of taxes, so they just turn a blind eye and forget it, as long as they don't make trouble in their city, they don't care, Yi Chen They will choose to mix in the caravan, but at present, more than 300 people are the limit, if there were more, it would not be like a caravan like an army.

"Stop, what are you doing?" As soon as Yi Chen's team arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by soldiers.
"Master Jun, just some grain and cloth, just shipped from Purple Sun City!" After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he quickly opened a transaction and gave him ten gold coins.
It's not that Xiao Tian is slamming the door, but they are now businessmen, if they give too much, it will arouse suspicion, and ten gold coins is also a lot of money!
The soldier's attitude was noticeably better after receiving the money, but he still had a few carriages checked, and after confirming that they were correct, they were let into the city.
After Yi Chen and the others entered the city, they all looked at each other, although the intelligence said that Xiyu Town was easy to enter, but they didn't expect it to be so easy to get in, the other party didn't ask their identities at all, they had all considered the next steps if the infiltration failed, it seemed that it was redundant.
However, entering the city is only the first step, and the next step is the difficult task.
After walking for a while, Yi Chen and the others were divided into two teams, Xiao Tian took more than two hundred people to pull the goods to the trade street not far away and pretended to start trading, while Yi Chen took a hundred people to divide into several groups and began to wander around the town, they were now familiar with the situation and analyzing the infiltration and retreat routes, and they definitely did not see it clearly on the map.
They strolled from noon to evening before entering a restaurant to prepare for dinner, because the scheduled time was evening, after all, the assassination was not a siege, and the moon was dark and the wind was high when it was convenient to move.
When it was dark, Xiao Tian and the others were also divided into several groups and stayed in several restaurants to settle down.
At midnight, Yi Chen and the others jumped out of the upstairs window of their residence on their equipment jackets and night clothes, a few meters high for them at all, and some of them advanced along some roofs, like martial arts masters who knew how to light industry.
It's not about pretending to be cool when you walk down from the rooftop, but it's quieter at night, and there are plenty of patrols, who are not only safe on the rooftop, but also easy to observe, and then report to the ground personnel to prevent them from running into the patrol.
Only Yi Chen's hundred or so people participated in the assassination operation, and the others are now lurking near the city gate led by Xiao Tian, and when Yi Chen and their signal are given, they will create chaos at the city gate, and it would be best if the gate could be opened.
Xiao Tian and they observed, the situation is not very good, there are at least two or three hundred soldiers at the gate, and there are also people patrolling the city wall next to it, it seems unlikely that they want to open the city gate secretly, it is not that Xiyu Town is more cautious, and now people can not be killed with a sword, if the number of defenders is too small, it will not work at all, so no matter where it is, the number of city defenders will not be too small.
Yi Chen and the others also touched the side of the Yuan Mansion as quickly as possible, but after observing it, they frowned, because not only was the palace heavily guarded, but even outside the mansion there were now many soldiers patrolling back and forth, making it difficult for them to enter the mansion.
Yi Chen called a few leaders and said: "The situation is a little different from the estimate, the previous intelligence was that only soldiers were on duty in the mansion, but I didn't expect that there were hundreds of soldiers patrolling outside, it seems that we made him a lot more vigilant after we annihilated their troops." ”
"I will lead people to lead them away, and you will lead people to wait for the opportunity to act." A small leader suggested.
Yi Chen is not an indecisive person, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "You guys be careful, don't touch it hard, you will hide away after we sneak in." ”
After this person nodded, he called ten people to follow him, and when a patrol of about twenty people passed by, they quickly began to climb the wall of a mansion next to him, and when the soldiers saw it, they shouted loudly and chased over there, shouting that they were catching thieves, not assassins, because the family next to them was a well-known rich merchant in the town, otherwise they would not be able to live so close to Liu Yuan.
When this team of patrol officers began to rush to chase the team, Yi Chen and the others quickly rushed to the side of the wall, and jumped up and grabbed the top of the wall more than three meters in a jump, and after a little observation, they quickly turned in, and the people they participated in the assassination operation were all agile ranger and archer professions, and other low-agility professions were obviously not suitable for such tasks.
Yi Chen and they are now in a large garden, and there are many corridors next to them that connect the houses everywhere, if they hadn't asked Zi Yan before and remembered the terrain, they would definitely be confused now, because the area of this mansion is not small, and the architectural pattern is also intricate, without intelligence, it is difficult to find Liu Yuan's residence, not to mention that there are people on duty here, it is impossible to let them wander around.
Recall the map in their minds, and then compare it with the environment in front of them, and soon know where they are and where Liu Yuan lives are located in the northeast of them, go along the long corridor over there, and then turn around the two side rooms where Liu Yuan is.
However, it is not easy to think about the past, Yi Chen and they have only been in the flowers for more than a minute, and they have walked through two groups of patrol officers, and they don't know if there are any secret sentinels, anyway, there are a lot of bright and dark sentinels in the city lord's mansion of his earth, and it is obviously not wise to bet that others do not have dark sentinels.
Let a few pathfinders who are proficient in lurking and reconnaissance first, and Yi Chen and them will wait in place.
About two minutes later, there was news that there were two sentry in the garden, but fortunately it was far away from them, otherwise they might have been discovered if they had just entered.
Since it is easy to find out, but Yi Chen and they don't dare to kill them, first, they are afraid that they will not be able to kill them with one blow and let them send a message, even if they can kill them in seconds, they will not dare to move, because there must be a connection between the dark sentinels, if someone's friend avatar suddenly disappears, the fool will also know that something is wrong.
Therefore, Yi Chen and the others could only choose to hide, not only to avoid the patrol, but also to avoid the sight of the secret sentinel.
There were too many of them now, and it would be too easy to be exposed if the collective action was carried out, so Yi Chen finally let most of them stay in the garden to continue to lurk, and he only infiltrated with the strongest twenty people, if they were exposed, these people who stayed in place could still attract most of the attention here and buy them time.
After calculating the gap between the patrols, when the patrol team had just passed, Yi Chen took twenty people to the bottom of the corridor as quickly as ghosts, and then one person bowed down and stood, and the others quickly stepped on his back and jumped to the top of the corridor, because if you walk through the corridor aisle, you are looking for death, there is no cover, unless others are blind, you can't see them, when a dark whistle lying on the grass seems to hear the sound and look up, the toes of the last person just received the top and disappeared without a trace, and Yi Chen and the others above were lying on the eaves, and they were all sweating a little, They were condescendingly observing the secret whistle, and their hearts were all in their throats just now, but fortunately they escaped the catastrophe.
