Chapter 693: Blindfolding
Before seeing Chen Benzhong's camp with their own eyes, Yoshioka Xiong and Pan Huayu had many guesses in their minds.
They had thought that maybe Chen Benzhong's camp was empty now, and it was simply an empty camp set up by Chen Benzhong, the purpose of which was to attract the attention of the personnel of the Dragon Digging Society, and the real personnel of Chen Benzhong's organization were all secretly excavating the dragon veins of the Great Qing Dynasty in other places.
They also thought that maybe the surrounding area of that camp was overgrown, and that was where the dragon vein treasure was located, and Chen Benzhong was leading his men to dig desperately.
And so on and so forth, the minds of Pan Huayu and Yoshioka were constantly changing, and they imagined all kinds of possibilities. And when these two people climbed up a hillside and looked at Chen Benzhong's camp on the other side of the mountain, both of them were stunned, how could this not be at all different from what they imagined?
On the sunny slope of the opposite mountain range, there is a large clearing with a gentle slope, and the surrounding vegetation of this clearing is very sparse, open on three sides, and only the north side of the clearing, near the top of the mountain range, has a small forest.
In this open space, dozens of tents are scattered in a scattered manner. Nearly half of the tents were at the edge of the woods, stretched out horizontally in a zigzag, and the rest were divided into two parts, stretching to the left and right towards the bottom of the hillside, arranged like a courtyard house.
Tents on three sides enclosed a small square, and it was time for dinner, and this small square was densely packed with people. The men were divided into large groups, seven or eight people in each group, forming a circle, drooling at the small iron pot on the campfire in the middle of the crowd.
At first glance, this small square is on fire, and the smoke from dozens of bonfires and the water vapor in the iron pot all drift upwards and drift far away.
Yoshioka tightened his nose and took a sharp breath, as if he vaguely smelled the aroma of stewed meat in the iron pot.
Surprised, really surprised. The scene in front of them was something that Yoshioka Xiong and Pan Huayu could never have imagined. Chen Benzhong's people ate dinner without thinking, some talked and laughed, and their laughter spread far away.
When monitoring the previous camp of Chen Benzhong, the people of the Dragon Digging Society counted the number of people in the entire camp clearly, and the error would not exceed ten people. Now it seems that Chen Benzhong's men have gathered in this small square.
Yoshioka took out his binoculars and looked at them more closely. Just in the northernmost part of the small square, a group of people caught his attention.
The hundred-year-old Chen Benzhong was holding a plump woman with one hand, holding a small wine jug in the other, drinking it in one gulp, and the woman in his arms also picked out a piece of meat from the pot from time to time and put it into Chen Benzhong's mouth.
Even when eating, Chen Sanjin did not take off his stainless steel gloves. Now Chen Sanjin is grabbing something like a chicken leg with an iron glove, feasting on it.
Liu Cong and Xu Yi also sat next to Chen Benzhong, while Chen Ziyang, who had dealt with him before, and his two brothers sat not far away. In short, as long as Yu Yoshioka knew that several of the main personnel under Chen Benzhong had all appeared in his field of vision, no one was missing.
"It's really weird, these people come all the way here, they don't just come for a picnic." After the idea came to him, Yoshioka fought a cold war, and at that moment, he felt that he had been fooled, and he had fallen for a big one.
Yoshioka felt that the team in front of him was a decoy, and despite the fact that the important personnel were here, they were just trying to attract his attention, and the purpose was to nail his team to the mountains. In fact, Chen Benzhong had already sent another elite to quietly excavate the dragon vein treasures of the Qing Dynasty.
But the thought only flashed through Yoshioka's mind, and then he thought for sure that it could never be a decoy.
There is a reason why the hundred-year-old Chen Benzhong came here in person, Chen Benzhong has a reason why he has to come here, what does this old man who has lived for more than a hundred years want, Yoshioka Xiong knows very well in his heart, Chen Benzhong must personally enter the dragon vein treasure of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, as long as Chen Benzhong is here, this team cannot be a bait, and it is impossible for Chen Benzhong to send others to discover the dragon vein treasures of the Great Qing Dynasty, which will have no meaning to him.
Thinking of this, Yoshioka Xiong's hanging heart relaxed, although he didn't understand the key, but he knew that as long as he nailed Chen Benzhong to death and followed this old guy all the time, he would not miss the dragon vein treasure of the Qing Dynasty.
With this idea in mind, Yoshioka Yu observed the terrain around Chen Benzhong's camp, and was thinking about where to place the observation post and how to achieve 360-degree monitoring without dead ends, so as to prevent Chen Benzhong from running away from under his nose.
After looking around, Yoshioka breathed a sigh of relief. Although the camp chosen by Chen Benzhong and others has a good geographical location, has a broad field of vision, and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has great flaws.
The vegetation on the hillside where this camp is located is very sparse, so to speak, there are only two things on the entire hillside, one is the small forest, and the other is Chen Benzhong's camp.
And between this grove and the peak, there was a clearing, and in that clearing, not even green grass had grown, and the surface was exposed with pale yellow rocks, and the situation around the camp was unobstructed.
On the surface, the camp chosen by Chen Benzhong has a very wide view, because there is no vegetation and raised rocks to obstruct it, and he can see a long distance, but on the other hand, others can also see their camp from a long distance.
It is not easy for such a camp to storm it, and the attacking team needs to pass through a very large open field, and if it is really stormed, it will suffer a lot of losses.
However, Yoshioka didn't need to storm at all, so the open areas around the camp and the woods had a different meaning to him, and if they were used well, they would not only become obstacles, but would become helpers.
If Chen Benzhong's people wanted to leave this hillside, they would have to pass through the surrounding open fields. Whether it was walking to the left, to the right, or down the hillside, the distance in the open area was enough for his subordinates to notice that Chen Benzhong's organization had moved.
The shortest distance in the open field is to the north of the camp, and the length of the open field behind the woods is not very long. If Chen Benzhong had gone north, had gone straight from the camp into the woods, and then had climbed over the mountain, it might not have much time.
Despite the fact that the area of this forest is not very large, it is very dense, and if someone gets into the woods, you will not be able to see it from the outside.
So Yoshioka felt that if Chen Benzhong wanted to leave from under his nose, he would definitely climb up the hill.
But then he found that even if Chen Benzhong and his men did this, it would be impossible for them to escape his surveillance, because the open land to the north of the woods had no vegetation at all, and it was all bare rocks.
Even at night, as long as the moonlight and stars shine, if anyone is active on this rock, they can see it clearly from a distance.
After completely seeing the terrain around Chen Benzhong's camp, Yoshioka Xiong and Pan Huayu arranged their men. They set up several secret posts to watch the camp from a distance, and at the same time arranged for observers to be far away on the left and right sides of Chen Benzhong's camp.
After this arrangement, not only Chen Benzhong's people couldn't leave, but even the people outside couldn't get close to the camp secretly, no matter which direction they went, they would definitely be discovered in advance by the people of the Dragon Digging Society.
Everything is ready. Yoshioka Xiong and Pan Huayu thought for a long time, and they agreed that under such an arrangement, it was impossible for Chen Benzhong and the others to leave the sight of their subordinates unknowingly.
In the past few days, Yoshioka's team has suffered a lot, they have followed behind and kept searching, pursuing, and the physical exertion is very large, and they are already exhausted. And now that Chen Benzhong has been firmly monitored, it is finally time to rest.
However, the life of the team of the Dragon Digging Club is not as chic as that of Chen Benzhong and others. They didn't dare to make an open fire at all, because then the smoke from the bonfire would tell Chen Benzhong that someone was here. Without thinking about it, Chen Benzhong would know that he was a member of the Dragon Digging Society.
As a result, the Dragon Diggers couldn't even eat a mouthful of hot food. Originally, there was nothing to complain about at this point, after all, they had made such preparations before coming, but what made the people of the Dragon Digging Club feel most depressed was that the smell of barbecue on Chen Benzhong's side wafted into their noses from time to time. The members of the Dragon Digging Club ate dry compressed biscuits, and the more they ate them, the more unpleasant they became.
Time passed day by day, and in the past few days, Chen Benzhong's camp has also undergone some slight changes, they no longer gather in the square to eat together, even if there are often people still barbecuing there, but most of the personnel are resting in the tent.
Thinking about it, because they need to carry too many things, Chen Benzhong's team members can't carry so much meat, and the fresh meat will spoil in a few days, obviously, the meat on hand of these people is about to be eaten. Without the attraction of barbecue, the dinner party would be meaningless.
In the past few days, the people of the Dragon Digging Society have not relaxed their surveillance of this camp, although Chen Benzhong and his men have rarely stepped out of the tent, but they are very sure that no one has left this camp.
Pan Huayu and Yoshioka Xiong have never been clear about why Chen Benzhong's people just stayed on this hillside. Yoshioka had gradually lost his patience, and he wanted to command his men to make a collective charge, rushing directly into Chen Benzhong's tent to see what this old guy was doing.
But Yoshioka Yu knew that although the number of people on his side was slightly larger, Chen Benzhong's people occupied a favorable position, and if the two sides really fought to the death, no one would be able to fall well. He would not have resorted to this lose-lose style of play unless he had to.
But a sense of foreboding slowly welled up in Yoshioka's mind, and he felt that something was wrong with this matter.
On this morning, Yoshioka compiled the activities of Chen Benzhong's personnel recorded by the spies around the camp. It turned out that Chen Benzhong and his cadres had not appeared in the field of vision of the surveillance personnel for two days.
After his eyes widened, Yoshioka slapped his head vigorously and shouted, "Fooled! ”
Just when Yoshioka suddenly realized, a small team had been quietly walking between the mountains for two days.
The number of people in this squad was not large, only a dozen people. Chen Benzhong and Aunt Yun are naturally inside, and there are the three major cadres under Chen Benzhong, Chen Sanjin, Xu Yi and Liu Cong. In addition to these people, there are three Chen Ziyang brothers and a few team members.
It turned out that on the night before, when the eight off-road vehicles were moving separately, Xu Yi and several team members of the rolling dragon stayed in the mountainous area where the dragon wrapped around the Qinglian Feng Shui Treasure Cave was located.
While Chen Ziyang and Liu Cong were watching the feng shui, Xu Yi and his men kept choosing a location, and finally they set their sights on the hillside where the camp was stationed.
For three days, Xu Yi, the rolling dragon, relied on his kung fu to steal holes, coupled with the cooperation of his subordinates, he opened a passage in that small piece of dense forest, and from the secret passage in the woods, he could directly pass through the mountain and come to the other side of the mountainside.
What Yoshioka Yu saw was arranged by Chen Benzhong and deliberately shown to him, and when he made this plan, Chen Benzhong knew that Yoshioka Xiong would definitely be watching his camp around.
And the open space around it seems to be a loophole set up by Chen Benzhong's camp, but in fact, he deliberately left it for Yoshioka Xiong, the purpose is to let Yoshioka Xiong set his eyes on the open space around the camp.
No one would have thought that in that small area of dense forest, there would be a passage through the mountain.
After deliberately dangling in front of Yoshioka for two days, Chen Benzhong arranged for his subordinates and those generals to reduce the number of appearances, in order to confuse Yoshioka Xiong, so that the people of the Dragon Digging Society would not see the appearance of a few people.
As soon as the time came, Chen Benzhong knew that the plan was ripe, so one night, he pulled these dozen people and quietly got into the small forest from the back of the tent, and then passed through the mountain through the secret passage in this small forest, and went down from the other side of the mountain.
The eyes of the Dragon Digging Society, who were staring at the clearing around the camp, naturally couldn't see all this happening. In addition, although the dragon digging will arrange a lot of eyeliner around this mountain range, they will not be able to surround the entire mountain area.
In this way, one night, this small team of more than a dozen people drilled out of this mountain range and walked in the direction of the dragon's bow to the treasure cave.
