Chapter 314: Debunking
After a dark figure walked into the granary, he quickly reached out and carefully closed the door of the granary.
After closing the door, the black shadow did not act immediately, he stuck to the door, carefully watching the movement outside the door, a pair of vigilant eyes, looming in the darkness.
There was no sound outside the door, except for the occasional sound of the wind.
The shadow did not believe in evil, and he listened for a few more minutes, until he finally confirmed that no one had passed by the door and no one had noticed him, and then he left the door with peace of mind.
Then, the black shadow took out a candle from his arms for a long time.
He gently lit the candle in his hand, and the candle emitted a faint light, which immediately illuminated this small piece of heaven and earth.
The black shadow looked at the faint light in front of him, although he was a little displeased, but in order not to attract attention, he still did not make any other big moves.
After lighting the candle, the shadow walked slowly forward until it stopped at a wall, and it was clear that this was the place he wanted to investigate. The black shadow faced the wall in front of him, thought for a while, and then carefully placed the candle in his hand on the candlestick next to him, allowing the candle to illuminate the wall.
The shadow was silent for a moment, as if recalling something. Immediately, he reached out and groped back and forth on the wall, looking for what he wanted.
He fumbled for a long time, but he didn't touch what he wanted, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a trace of anxiety in his expression. There seemed to be a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the black shadow's hand suddenly stopped, and he stood in place, not daring to say a word, and his eyes looked vigilantly in the direction of the granary door.
Someone's coming?
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, the dark shadow's heart also rose to his throat, and his breathing involuntarily accelerated, but he didn't realize it himself.
But the black shadow could only hold his breath and listen carefully to the sound outside the door, whether it was coming in his own direction.
Could it be that he was discovered?
But after a while, a soldier's voice came from outside the door, as if complaining about another soldier.
"What are you doing here at night? Didn't you just make an inspection, it's not too early, let's go back and rest. β
"That's right, this is the military camp of Tianli Country, and it is estimated that no one dares to break in. I guess I'm too careful, let's go for a walk and go back to sleep. β
"Isn't it, not to mention that there are two princes and six princes sitting here, who would dare to come and send them to death? It's not something that a fool would do. β
"That makes sense."
Then, the footsteps of the two soldiers faded away, and soon there was no sound.
The shadow listened for a while, and then confirmed that he was safe at the moment. He breathed a sigh of relief, moved his body, which was a little stiff from nervousness, raised his head again, and pulled himself together to grope for the wall in front of him.
After such an interruption, he remembered a place that he had not yet explored.
Thinking so, the shadow reached out and groped for a narrow corner of the wall. This corner is the easiest to be overlooked, but at the same time, it is also the safest, even he has forgotten about himself, let alone others, it is impossible to find out at all.
When he realized that the touch in his hand was different from Fang Cai, a flash of joy flashed in the black shadow's eyes. Sure enough, here he remembers.
It seems that thanks to the two soldiers who just passed by. Otherwise, he doesn't know how long he's going to have to fumble around here.
The black shadow felt the touch in his hand, and then, with the help of memory, gently pushed it away, and used his strength to spin the thing.
The air was still quiet, and nothing seemed to have changed.
The shadow waited silently for a moment, then reached out and worked on the thing a few times. In the darkness, no one could see what he had done.
After the black shadow finished manipulating, he let go of his hand, and there was an eerie silence in the air. Immediately, there was a slight "click" on the wall.
The dark shadow's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this voice. It seems that he was not mistaken.
There was a sound from the walls, and the air seemed to be torn apart. By the light moonlight that came in through the window, the partitions around the granary seemed to be activated, and they all began to move slowly!
No one expected that such a magical scene would occur in just one mechanism.
The dark shadow watched as the partitions slowly opened, and the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter. He said, this organ is impossible to be discovered, he is just worrying about the sky.
As the partition slowly opened, the contents of the partition slowly revealed. Behind the partition, there are piles of grain and grass that are thrown high! The number of them is staggering.
If the second prince is here, he will definitely be able to recognize that so much grain and grass is simply the thousands of loads of grain and grass lost in the country! But it's a pity that the second prince is not here at the moment.
The black shadow looked at the piles of grain and grass in front of him, as if he saw piles of gold, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the soft grain and grass, as if he was caressing some treasure, carefully. After feeling the touch of the grain and grass, the black shadow couldn't help but mutter, "I'll just say, how could they find out...... It seems that I am overly careful. β
"You don't have much heart." A clear voice suddenly sounded in the quiet granary.
The black shadow's body suddenly froze, and he quickly turned his head, and a pair of eyes looked around in a bit of panic.
"Who? Who's there? β
But the shadow looked around, but he didn't see anyone, and he couldn't even find out where the sound came from. So, where exactly is that person?
Listening to this voice, he couldn't tell for a moment whether it was a man or a woman.
However, there are no women in the barracks at all, so this person should be a man? But he never seemed to hear the voice.
And, he was discovered?
Just thinking of this, the black shadow was already scared into a cold sweat, but at this time, he couldn't weaken his momentum.
"Who is there pretending to be a ghost, you will come out if you have the ability!"
The voice did not continue to speak, and the black shadow stood in the granary, still looking around, for fear that he had missed a single place. At the same time, as he spoke, he quietly pulled out a sharp dagger from his bosom, as if he would immediately stab him if he found any trace of the speaker.
What he is doing here, must not be discovered. Otherwise, his life is over!
Therefore, the dark shadow desperately wants to find the person who has just spoken, and only one person can be found. Otherwise, I am not completely sure that I will be able to get out.
Unfortunately, the voice never spoke again except for the first sentence.
The black shadow stood still, swallowed, and glanced at the grain and grass that was still in front of him. At this moment, his mood was not at all as joyful as Fang Cai, but instead full of nervousness and panic.
Why didn't that person show up? Is it trying to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail yourself? No, these grains and grasses must not be given away. Otherwise, all his efforts for so long would have been in vain.
Thinking of this, the black shadow hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to reach out and touch the mechanism to hide the grain and grass again. As long as he leaves now, no one will find him.
The Black Shadow thought like this, and the speed in his hand increased. Just as he touched the mechanism and was about to make a move, the door of the granary behind him opened without warning.
"Smack-" Although the sound was not loud, it successfully stopped the black shadow's movements.
He looked back in a panic.
"Hmph, thief, look where you're going!"
As soon as the door opened, a loud voice had already sounded, and it was the voice of General Meng.
The black shadow turned his head to look out of the door, and saw several generals standing at the door with a radiant look, where was there half a bit of drunkenness on their faces?
Panic flashed in his eyes, how could it be? Didn't the generals go to drink tonight, didn't they say that they wouldn't go home if they weren't drunk, why now......
General Meng looked at the black shadow, because he was sideways, he didn't see his appearance clearly for the time being, but he seemed to be able to understand the black shadow's thoughts, and spoke to himself.
"If it weren't for the county lord asking us to pretend to be drunk, how would you show up? Isn't it surprising to see us here now, get out of here, otherwise, we're welcome. β
The cold sweat on the black shadow's face has already broken out, county lord? What county lord? Moreover, General Meng's meaning is obvious, everything they did was simply to lure him out. So far, what else I don't understand, is that he was careless and fooled!
The black shadow couldn't care about the grain and grass at the moment, and he had only one thought in his heart, that is, he must not let the generals see him. Otherwise, he's really finished!
Thinking of this, the black shadow suddenly raised the dagger in his hand and shouted, so that several people standing at the door were startled by his sudden movements.
"What are you doingβ" Before General Meng could finish his words, the black shadow had already blindfolded his head with the cloak on his body, revealing only a pair of eyes.
He raised his dagger and rushed in the direction of General Meng.
"Oh no, he's going to run!"
A great general looked at his posture, his pupils narrowed slightly.
But a few of them, after all, are generals, this black shadow, obviously thinking too simply.
Before he even raised the dagger, his wrist was easily grabbed by General Meng.
General Meng grabbed the black shadow's wrist and squeezed it hard.
"Ahh
"Hmph, carving insect skills." General Meng snorted coldly and did not let go of his hand. No matter how the black shadow struggled, he couldn't escape him, and General Meng's strength was famous in the entire military camp.
General Lu next to him stretched out his hand and fiercely ripped off the black shadow's cloak, and one of his faces was immediately exposed to the air.
The eyes of the generals widened, and they looked at the appearance of the person in front of them in disbelief.
"It's youβ"
