Chapter 6: Betrayal
A black shadow flashed in front of the two.
"Uncle Rikube turns out to be really you. Boro looked up at the serious man who appeared in front of him.
"I guess there wasn't any strange movement just now. Lu asked him.
"Nope"
"Well, that's good. Yan Zhu was already ambushed at the designated place. Since you're here with us, we can't keep you all here. "Rkube handed a bamboo tube to Boro.
"This is a white flash, which can make people lose their vision for a while. If something happens to you, you can use it to temporarily stop the enemy's movements. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Lu. Boro carefully took the bamboo tube and tucked him away in his backpack.
"Qingxi, get ready to start. Rikube looked at Qingxi again, confirming that she could complete tonight's mission.
"Got it. ”
Boro pulled up Qingxi, and the two of them followed Lu Bu to another place to meet Yan Zhu.
Neither of them noticed that Ryube was holding a blood-dripping dagger in his right hand.
In the thick of the trees lay a cold corpse, his eyes wide open, as if he did not understand why he had been killed from behind.
When the three of them arrived, Yan Zhu was crouching between the leaves of a tall tree, guarding the cottage not far away.
It was a building made of stone and tree trunks, not sturdy, but barely able to withstand the horrors of the night.
"Is this the gathering place for those outlaws?" Qingxi knew for the first time that there would be such a place outside the town.
"I observed here for a long time and found that the defense here was unusually loose, and there were almost no patrols to be seen. Yan Zhu felt a little strange, this was completely unreasonable.
"Probably because they were too confident in the defense of their walled city. After all, if it weren't for the client's information, we wouldn't have known that there was such a walled city in the mountains. ”
Rkube carefully observed the stone walls around the walled city, "Don't be fooled by the surface, there is a good chance that they will plant traps around it." If something happens at that time......"
"Boro, please take Qingxi first. She's not fit to fight head-on. ”
Yan Zhu didn't say anything to refute this time, but he began to think about something on the side.
"I'm not leaving, since we're a team, I'm not going to leave you and run away on your own. Qingxi shook her head vigorously, she really cared about this commission.
If this mission is successful, she can use it to build some good weapons, so that she will definitely not hold everyone back in the future.
And she has been abandoned three times, and it was not easy to find this team, saying that she didn't want it to end like this.
"Qingxi, it's better for you to leave when the time comes. Otherwise, if you're there, you'll drag us down, and we'll be even more unable to escape. Yan Zhu seemed to show his face at this time, "So for the sake of all of our lives, I hope you can leave when the time comes." ”
"Yan Zhu, why do you always hate you so much! I hate you!" Qingxi was struck by his words. His eyes were a little moist, "Since you dislike me so much, why did you agree to let me join in the first place?"
Lu Bu frowned, "Have you made enough trouble! Now the operation hasn't started yet, I'm just telling you the worst." ”
Boro also comforted on the side, "Yes, everyone is kind, Yan Zhu, he is just so that you can not be harmed by danger." ”
"Now let me explain your mission, I'll be in charge of infiltrating. Yan Zhu is in charge of helping me remove obstacles, Qingxi and Boro, you two just need to keep an eye on the tent in the walled city. Once you find out that I've managed to infiltrate, you'll try to create chaos.
Afterwards, we went to the mountain to meet up. ”
To make sure everyone was clear about their mission, Ryube asked again.
"This mission is a matter of life and death, and the first thing you have to do in case of any accident is to ensure the safety of your own life. As for I'll find another way. ”
Lu Bu changed into the night clothes he had prepared earlier and put them on, and began to quietly touch the city while it was dark.
Yan Zhu took out his bow and arrows and crouched on the treetops, ready to shoot a fatal blow at any time.
The thick clouds in the sky were blown by the cold wind, blocking half of the moonlight, just enough to facilitate the movement of the land department.
The crisp sound of night birds lingers through the forest and reaches the sky.
The leaves also danced in the breeze, making a sound of shooing, and no one dared to be careless, and if discovered, the land that had infiltrated the city was likely to be dismantled by the enemy's knives.
Everyone tensed their nerves, and the night heron suddenly chirped and flapped its wings and flew out, and just flew into the air, it was shot down by an arrow from the shadow of the walled city.
Yan Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had been discovered. Fortunately, it was only a bird that was hunted.
The gate in the middle of the city suddenly opened, and a reluctant man stepped out of it.
"You want to eat bird meat, why do you have to pick it up? ”
The man muttered as he walked towards where the three Borough were.
"Where are the birds~birds~?" the man looked around, "I guess it just fell around here." ”
"Ah, that's here!" The man looked up at the tree and spotted the plump night heron.
"I really don't understand, what is so delicious about this thing. The man broke part of the arrow from the heron's body, picked it up in his hand, and began to return the way he came.
Yan Zhu leaned on the back of the tree trunk in a straight chair, "It's so dangerous, I was almost discovered." ”
Lu Bu, who was in the distance, saw the man coming over, and he was secretly relieved that he didn't show anything unusual.
It seems that I have to speed up my actions, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Throwing a rope claw towards the wall, after making sure that it was firm, the hands and feet were used at the same time, and in less than five seconds, Lu came to the inside of the walled city.
"Uncle Lu has entered," Boro was nervous, looking at Lu Bu's smooth operation. He thought he would be discovered.
It's just that what the hell are they going to the trouble of being here? If it's a murderous thing, they won't help them, but they don't look like people who can do such things.
At least Qingxi definitely can't do it.
Is it for something?
Boro shook his head, "Anyway, stealing the bad guy's stuff, this shouldn't be considered a bad thing, right?" ”
Lu didn't know what Boro was thinking at this time, he was now getting closer to the tent in the middle of the walled city.
And the goal of this entrusted mission is also in it.
There were nine people sitting around at this time, and a faint fragrance surrounded them, which could not be dispersed for a long time.
"Add some condiments and you're done!"
The man in charge of bringing the bird back was not interested in this, and leaned back in the gloom of the corner by himself.
Lit the tobacco stick on his mouth, "I think it's better for me to resign when this trip is over." ”
