Chapter Ninety-Seven: Opportunity
Soon they ran out of the woods and came to a meadow, on which the old man lay on his stomach and began to observe the situation around him. Then quickly stand up and head straight in one direction, much faster than before.
After running some distance, he ran into another wood, and in this woods consisted of a house that looked small and stood alone among several large trees.
The old man hurried to the house, and when he reached it, he clung to the wall, pulled the door open, and with a quick wave of his hand, let everyone into the room. The house was small in size and had only two rooms, one with a cabinet and the other with one.
When they entered the room, everyone was already running out of breath, only the clouds seemed to be more excited, and they kept circling around the room, looking at the meaning of the clouds, and wanted to run again.
After the old man entered the house, he walked straight to the room where the cabinet was placed, Jiao Li also followed, the old man moved a cabinet in the room, and a staircase was revealed behind the cabinet, and Jiao Li walked down the stairs first.
Ah Hui and his party all followed down the stairs, and the old man walked down with a torch in the back. It was a basement, and it was much larger than the house above, and the old man handed the torch to Jiao Li, and went up the stairs again to move the cabinet back to its place.
When the old man walked down the stairs again, he hugged Jiaoli and said to Jiaoli with a smile on his face: "I thought that this secret passage would never be used there!" Finally here today! ”
Jiao Li hugged the old man and introduced to everyone: "This Lei Gan has been waiting for the person who has been guarding this secret passage. ”
Then Jiao Li introduced Lei Gan one by one, but the more Lei Gan was introduced, the more unsightly Lei Gan's face became, he pulled Jiao Li and asked, "Is there something wrong in our team?" How did they come here are all from the ten teams, is Qiu Zheng okay? ”
Jiao Li explained what was going to happen to Lei Gan, and also told Lei Gan about seeing the minister. After hearing this, Lei Gan frowned and said, "You want to see Lord Gongqing, what's the matter?" If you want to see him, it's better than climbing to the sky! ”
Jiao Li shook his head and didn't speak, he just knew that he wanted to see the minister, but Lin Yao didn't talk to him about the specific matter. Although Han Lin was clear about the purpose of seeing the minister, he didn't talk to him.
Lei Gan looked at everyone, sighed and said: "I'm just in the inner city, responsible for guarding the woods, and I don't know the movements of the inner city very well, but during this time, I have more or less heard about the inner city and the outer city. In a moment, I'll go and check out what's going on! ”
Jiao Li took Lei Gan's hand and said, "I'll go with you, no one in the inner city knows me." Easy to move! ”
Lei Gan shook his head with a smile and said to Jiao Li: "It's because I don't know you that you can't appear." Just wait for me here! ”
Han Lin nodded and said to Jiao Li: "At a time like this, people with faces are easy to be suspicious!" ”
After Lei Gan left, several people stayed quietly in the basement, Zhuang Yang was already sleepy, Han Lin asked Jiao Li, "Was Lei Gan a member of the same team before?" Jiao Li nodded and said, "He was the main force in the first team before,
But as he gets older, he is likely to be chosen as a tribute. Therefore, at that time, Captain Long Yi pleaded like the inner city to let Lei Gan enter the city so that he would not be selected as a tribute. ”
Jiao Li sighed and said: "At that time, Captain Long Yi could still speak in front of the high priest, and the high priest agreed to Lei Gan to enter the city and let him guard a forest, but that time Captain Long Yi and Qiu Zheng entered the city and were besieged, and it was also Lei Gan who gave his life to send Captain Long Yi and Qiu Zheng out of the inner city. I heard that later, it seems that he was implicated, and he was lucky to escape! ”
Jiao Li looked at the basement and said: "This is all by himself, little by little excavated, at that time, Captain Long Yi and Qiu Zheng hid here, and then went out of the city along the secret passage, when we were digging the secret passage, it was also Lei Gan who responded!" ”
Han Lin didn't speak after hearing this, but fell into thought, as soon as Ah Hui heard that Captain Long Yi had also stayed here, he became interested in the basement, touching here and looking there, hoping to find the traces left by Captain Long Yi.
This is, there was a noise from above, and Jiao Li happily looked up at the stairs and said, "I didn't expect to come back so quickly." ”
The cabinet was removed, Lei Gan walked down sweating profusely, and said to Jiao Li: "I went to the vicinity of the house where the princess lived, and checked, I don't know when, the guards were added, and there were also a few people from the guard group who were monitoring in the dark. ”
Jiao Li frowned and asked, "So, it's really impossible for us to see the minister?" ”
Lei Gan smiled slightly and said, "No, no way!" Seeing Lei Gan say this, Jiao Li stepped forward and patted Lei Gan, and said with a smile: "You old guy, you will also sell off!" Let's talk about it, what's the solution? ”
Lei Qian smiled innocently and said, "You are more coincidental here, tomorrow it is said that Lord Gongqing is going to see the high priest." ”
Jiao Li asked suspiciously, "Then don't we have a chance?" Lei Gan shook his head and said with a smile: "If he wants to see the high priest, he must pass through the forest where we are, and at that time, maybe he will have the opportunity to meet the minister!" ”
Lei Gan said to Jiaoli again: "Wait for tonight, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the terrain, and then, tomorrow morning, act!" Jiao Li nodded happily, rubbed his hands with some excitement and said, "Let's rest for a while, observe the terrain, and see Lord Gongqing tomorrow, we can go back to the outer city!" ”
Lei Gan raised his head and looked up, as if he was saying to Jiaoli, and as if he was saying to everyone: "The opportunity may be this time, success or failure depends on the sky!" ”
Hearing this, Han Lin bowed his head and was silent, Ah Hui was also very excited, he didn't expect that this mission could be completed so easily, and after meeting with the minister, the situation would change, if he could really compromise in the inner city, then in the future, he would be able to live a truly free life!
At night, Zhuang Yang stayed behind, and everyone else followed Lei Gan and secretly walked out of the house. When he walked out of the house, a cold wind hit, and Ah Hui shivered, he didn't expect the wind to be so cool tonight.
Lei Gan led the way in front, and Lei Gan walked and stopped, paying attention from time to time
Observe your surroundings and be cautious along the way.
After walking a distance, Lei Gan lay on the grass, pointed to a road not far ahead, and whispered to Jiaoli: "This road is the only way to go to the High Priest's Mansion, we can ambush here, and when the carriage of the Minister comes, take the opportunity to sneak into the car." ”
Han Lin looked up at the surroundings, this place was very flat, there were basically no obstacles, he looked at Lei Gan and asked, "How is this lurking?" ”
Lei Gan looked at Han Lin's watch and said with a smile: "Walking forward, the grass there can cover us, as long as we lie down in the grass and wait for the opportunity!" ”
Lei Gan said to Han Lin again: "If there is an accident, I will be the first to show up at that time to divert the attention of the guards or the guard group, you can see the princess as soon as possible, and then go straight to the secret passage and return to the outer city!" ”
Hearing Lei Gan say this, Jiao Li hurriedly asked, "Then what should you do?" Lei Gan smiled and said, "I've lived for so many years, it's worth it to do my best for the team!" ”
Jiao Li said with some excitement: "How can it be done!" You ......" Lei Gan stretched out his hand to interrupt Jiao Li's words and said, "I'm just in case, now let's go back and prepare!" ”
Han Lin didn't move, lying on the ground and observing the terrain for a while, Lei Gan looked back at Han Lin and pulled him and said, "Leave quickly, the people of the guard group will start patrolling in a while!" ”
Han Lin had no choice but to follow Lei Gan and walk back. Ah Hui followed Lei Gan, he was very sad, sad for Lei Gan's words just now, and prayed in his heart that there would be no accidents tomorrow and not let Lei Gan expose himself.
After returning to the house, everyone came to the basement, and Lei Gan once again instructed everyone to pay attention to safety tomorrow morning, and then go out of the basement and close the cabinet.
Han Lin lay in the basement and said to Jiao Li: "I feel that tomorrow's action location is too open, in case there is any accident, it will be difficult for us to get out!" ”
Jiao Li smiled and said, "Let's hide in the grass and wait for the minister's carriage to be in place." I went to stop the carriage and control the horses pulling it. Then Ah Hui took the opportunity to enter the carriage and meet the minister. After meeting with the minister, we left, no surprise! ”
Lang Yan also smiled and said, "I will assist Ah Hui to enter the carriage!" After listening to their conversation, Zhuang Yang said, "Then what will I do tomorrow?" Han Lin looked at Zhuang Yang and said, "You hide from a distance and observe, if something is wrong, send a signal to us!" Remember to signal if something feels wrong! ”
Jiao Li glanced at Han Lin, laughing at Han Lin in his heart, he didn't have the courage to do things. After ignoring Han Lin and turning it over, he fell asleep after a while.
Ah Hui and the others also fell asleep afterwards, and everyone did not close their eyes for a day and a night, and this sleep was very fragrant. In the end, it was Lei Gan, who walked down the basement and woke everyone up.
Jiaoli opened his eyes and stood up, and then began to pack his bags. Han Lin walked to Zhuang Yang's side and said a few words, and Zhuang Yang listened to Han Lin's words with a serious face. Lei Gan pulled Han Lin a little impatiently and said, "It's being said on the road, let's set off as soon as possible."
Don't miss the carriage of the Minister! ”
The group followed Lei Gan again, this time Lei Gan did not stop, ran in a straight line at high speed, and soon arrived at the ambush location. Zhuang Yang stayed where he was and observed the movements around him, waiting for them to finish their actions and evacuate. Lei Gan lay down and crawled forward. The grass in front of them, as Lei Gan said, can cover their bodies.
After climbing for a while, Lei Gan and Han Lin stopped, and Jiao Li climbed forward for some distance, lurking in the grass closest to the road. Waiting for the minister's carriage. Jiaoli gestured for Ah Hui to climb forward a little more to facilitate his entry into the carriage. Ah Hui continued to climb forward for some distance, and Lang Yan also followed Ah Hui with the clouds.
Lang Yan was lying next to Ah Hui, the cloud seemed to be very uneasy, writhing back and forth, Lang Yan reached out and held the cloud, telling him not to move, so as not to be discovered, and the cloud finally quieted down.
