Chapter 245: Borrowing the Wind
It's not so easy to infiltrate the capital of the Rhine. According to Xiao Lin'www.biquge.info s investigation, with their strength, there is only one way to get in. That is to take the pipe under the moat that leads to the drainage system in the city.
Luckily, all five of them can swim, and the water is pretty good, otherwise it wouldn't be a good thing.
There were twenty-four pipes leading to the city, all around the city's moat. Each pipe is controlled by a water valve, which is opened every half hour. All water valves can be opened exactly once a day.
All they had to do was dive into the river and enter the capital through the pipe while the valve was open.
Of course, this is not an easy task, and it is not a small problem to get close to the moat through the open field outside without being noticed.
And this is not the most serious, because Xiao Lin is observed, there will be people patrolling the river at the location of the pipeline. Whenever a pipeline is about to be opened, the personnel in charge of patrolling the river of the pipeline will come out of the city and patrol the river.
In other words, even if they want to infiltrate the city through the pipeline, they need to find a way to deal with the patrol personnel first.
This is a much more serious problem than how to approach the moat. However, looking at Xiao Lin's appearance when he came back, it seems that there is a solution.
Sure enough, Xiao Lin said that he had found a loophole in the river patrolman's defense. That is, they only patrol the small area of water above the pipeline, and they don't even explore much underwater.
So they had to dive into the river before the water, and then swim from the bottom of the river to the pipe, which Xiao Lin had used to sneak into the city before.
It's a long journey, especially in the middle of the river. Each of them had to hold their breath underwater for at least a quarter of an hour, plus a quarter of an hour to fill the city's drainage system, which was a full half hour.
Fortunately, they were all monks, and half an hour was really nothing to them. If anyone has a little bit of no confidence in themselves, it is Sui Heng. After all, he is the weakest, and it is normal to be a little worried about himself.
And the time they wanted to sneak in was chosen at the third watch in the morning. There are two reasons for choosing this time, one is because this time is the most sleepy time for people, and it is dark, and it is impossible to see the underwater situation.
Another is that this time is exactly the time when the pipe on the side wall of the west gate of the national capital is opened, the time is good, the location is just to avoid the inspection of the soldiers in the city, and the place is not too far. It's designed for smuggling.
Once you've made your plan, the next thing to do is wait until it's dark. In normal times, they feel that the time from dawn to dark is a short time.
But now that they were asked to wait until it was dark, they felt that it was so long. Especially when they thought about waiting until the third watch, they all felt that it was simply a terrible ordeal.
No matter how anxious they are, time needs to pass by minute by minute. But again, no matter how long it takes, it will come eventually.
After their long and anxious wait, the third watch finally arrived. Of course, they didn't set off on the third watch. They dwelled a few miles from the city gates, and even farther from the water pipes.
They need to leave an hour early to make sure they don't miss the opening of the valve. So on the second watch, they set out for the capital.
In order to avoid the observation of the soldiers in the city, they had to move on the side near the corner of the wall. And Xiao Lin told them that except for the few hundred meters that the lights on the city could shine on, there was no need to worry about being discovered by those soldiers in other places.
What they really had to worry about at the previous distance, or even the whole time, was the patrolman who only appeared at night: "Hawkeye". Beware of not being discovered by them
When he heard this name, Xing Shuchen was stunned at that time. Hawkeye? Why did Hawkeye come out again? Playing tennis?
Xiao Lin was also very helpless after hearing this, the other three people didn't know what Xing Jichen meant by "Eagle Eye", but he knew it very well. I didn't expect him to be in the mood to joke when he was so nervous.
But even if you are helpless, you need to explain it to him. Xiao Lin told Xing Jichen that this Eagle Eye was a special patrol that he found when he was observing the situation yesterday and only appeared at night.
They were a group of soldiers who had been given a special drug, which caused their eyes to change abnormally. Although it is far from the standard of heterogeneous pupils, he can see things in the dark as day, and his vision is far from being compared with others. It's like an eagle's eye.
It was clear when he explained Xing Shuchen like this, it turned out that it was not the electronic eye hawkeye in tennis. It hurt him that he almost misunderstood, how embarrassing this thing was.
However, after suddenly realizing it, Xing Shuchen smiled slightly and told Xiao Lin: "As long as it is not a different pupil, it is easy to do, even if their eyes are special, but after all, they still belong to the category of human eyes." Aren't they afraid of the dark, aren't they afraid of blindness?"
Hearing his words, the other four seemed to know what he was going to do, Xiao Lin stretched out a finger, and while pointing at Xing Shuchen, he smiled and said, "Brother, I didn't see it, you are so bad." ”
When he said this, the others also had expressions of approval. Xing Shuchen didn't know what to say, and finally said angrily: "Don't follow me if you think I'm bad." ”
After he finished speaking, the other four stood behind him in a very neat manner, stretched out their hands together, and motioned for him to hurry away.
Xing Shuchen resisted the urge to beat them, and shook his head helplessly. Stretch out your hands and slowly lift your breath. Through his clothes, he could see that the cyan wind patterns on his body were glowing.
As he used the Wind Streak, the four of them could clearly feel that the breeze that had been blowing quietly around them began to grow stronger. Later, even the sand and gravel were swept away, and its power can be imagined.
After the wind was strong enough to a certain extent, Xing Shuchen pushed forward with both hands, and the wind swept up the sand and stone statue on the tower of the city. All of a sudden, the wind was blowing.
He rolled up as much sand and gravel as he could and blew it up the castle tower, and the scene was like a sandstorm. As he said, even if it is an eagle eye, it is just a human eye, although it is slightly stronger than ordinary people, but it is far from the standard of different pupils.
As long as it is still in the realm of human eyes, he will definitely be afraid of squinting. Even if you're not afraid of being blinded, you'll be blocked by sand and rocks, and that's the case now.
Even the special eagle eyes can't see clearly, let alone those ordinary soldiers, who can't even open their eyes. Xing Jichen and the others took advantage of this time to rush all the way to the moat, and they were not discovered.
When they arrived, they still had half an hour to leave the valve. That is, they have plenty of time to prepare.
However, as the so-called success is also a strong wind, and defeat is also a strong wind, although they used the light of Xing Killchen's wind to save them a lot of trouble.
But in the same way, they almost died at the hands of this gust of wind.
