In the early morning, the sky has just dawned, and the only sounds in the silent fields are the chirping of insects and frogs, and occasionally a few crisp and gentle calls of larks can be heard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info green wheat seedlings grow arbitrarily in the ridges of the fields, all over the mountains and fields are endless, and the whole world is full of vitality.

On the country road leading to the southern city of Greentown, carts full of rice make a creaking axle and leave Henry's Farm and head for Greentown. Little Henry sat on the pile of rice in the first cart, and as he drove the cart, he greeted the farmers working in the nearby fields, and occasionally laughed.

The country lanes that connect countless villages across the plains and are the usual route for farmers to trade their produce in the towns, but now Wagner's soldiers can be seen checking passing wagons and pedestrians at every major intersection. The heavily armed soldiers barricaded the road sturdy, leaving only one width of a carriage, and all passing wagons had to be inspected before they could pass, and there was no other way. Little Henry's convoy could only wait in line for inspection.

"Hey, Logan, John, you're not patrolling Greenland, what are you doing here!" said little Henry to the soldier familiarly.

"Ah!?It's little Henry! Don't talk cool about you, isn't it the front-line barracks that are making trouble! It is said that there are spies sent by the Empire, and we are to check here every day. The soldier named Logan complained to little Henry.

Before Logan finished speaking, John stabbed him with his elbow next to him, only to see an officer look at Logan with a dark face, and said menacingly: "Tell you, this is an order issued by Grand Duke Wagner personally to the front-line barracks, as a soldier, you must obey the order unconditionally! Let me hear your complaints, and I will honestly take off my military uniform and go home to farm!"

The officer did not look at Logan and John, but completely ignored the look of the two of them, turned to himself, looked up at little Henry, who was sitting on the stack of the carriage, and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing? Where are you from, where are you going?!"

When little Henry heard the interrogation-style questioning of the officer, his heart tightened, but he still replied with a smile on his face: "Hello sir! I am Little Henry of Henry's Farm in the north, haven't I heard that after surviving a winter, the price of grain in the green city has begun to rise, so take the food accumulated by the family to the green city, maybe you can sell it for a good price!"

Seeing that little Henry was calm and not flustered, and that he was so familiar with the garrison soldiers of Green City, there was no doubt that he should be a local, and the look on his face improved a little.

Just as he was talking, the vehicles in front of him had already passed through the queue for inspection, and it was about to be the turn of Little Henry's convoy, when several soldiers in full iron armor and spears came over.

The richness of the southern provinces can be seen from the well-equipped ordinary soldiers. These southern soldiers were dressed in thin armor made of refined steel, which was not very beautiful but had good protection. The four elite legions of the Varu Empire can only be equipped with officers above the sergeant major, and ordinary soldiers can only wear leather armor with a few pieces of iron inlaid in key positions at most, which is still the treatment only available to the four elite legions, and in the southern provinces, such iron armor is already the standard equipment of ordinary soldiers. Not only that, but the southern soldiers also had iron helmets on their heads, leg armor and shin guards on their legs, and iron boots on their feet to protect them properly.

The soldiers looked at the mountains of grain in the back of the wagon, and seemed to have no idea what to do, but they just flipped through a few sacks in the corners to check them.

Seeing that these soldiers were so hastily perfunctory, the officer frowned vigorously, stepped forward and snatched the spear from the hand of one of the soldiers, and without saying a word, stabbed it directly into the grain stack.

When little Henry saw this, he turned over and jumped down from the haystack with a ghostly cry, bent down and dragged a piece of grass and vines from the grass beside the roadside, threw himself into the sack, blocked the breach with one hand, and dragged the straw rope with the other hand to tie the gap in the sack with the straw rope like a butterfly wearing flowers, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the grain no longer leaked.

Patting the sack with his hand, which was obviously deflated, little Henry said to the officer in distress: "This gentleman, this is the food on which we countrymen work hard to survive, and we must not waste it so badly!

It's a pity that the officer turned a deaf ear to Little Henry's words, and even ignored Little Henry, and directly instructed the soldiers: "Just like this, check all the vehicles, remember that this kind of vehicle is the easiest to hide, not only to check the grain stacks, but also to pay attention to the bottom of the car!"

Even if the soldiers poked the grain stacks and knocked on the bottom of the car, they didn't find any problems from the convoy after tossing for a long time, and little Henry was a local familiar to the soldiers, so the officer could only wave his hand and let him go under the pitiful gaze of little Henry.

Looking back and seeing that the checkpoint had become a small dot and gradually disappeared from sight, Leo took off his wide straw hat from the carriage driver's position, held it in his hand and fanned the wind, and said, "Whew! Thanks to you this time, little Henry, thank you!"

Little Henry squeezed his eyes at Leo and said, "Blind they sent so many people, how could they not have imagined that we didn't hide in the car at all, but drove the car generously." At this rate, let's enter the green city in the afternoon, and we can enjoy the sweet spring wine and fawn steak in the green city, and let those guys slowly bask in the sun and eat the soil!haha!"

As Griman said earlier, in the southern provinces, old Henry was quite powerful, and Henry Jr. arranged Leo and the others to a hotel under their name before leaving.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can stay here in peace, I have already instructed that this inn will be closed from now on, and will no longer entertain outsiders, so you can rest assured that your whereabouts will not be discovered, but since you are going to lurk here, it is best to be careful when you go in and out. We'll meet again, then, friends!" said little Henry, waving his hand, and turned away.

As for the credibility of the Henry family, according to Griman, it is very secure, and Gleeman has been friends with old Henry for many years, so it should be absolutely safe here. Since the first step to infiltrate the south has been completed, then the next thing to consider is how to complete the reconnaissance mission, this is not a joke, with the approach of the war, now all the cities on the southern border are in a state of curfew, it is okay to walk on the streets during the day, but some sensitive areas have been blocked, not to mention walking everywhere at night, even if you leave the house, you will be arrested and taken out of prison by the patrol.

After gathering everyone, Leo said: "Green City is the closest city to the empire in the south, and judging by the current martial law in the city, it is very likely that the rebels intend to build this place into a front-line fortress, so it is our focus to investigate the military facilities and troop deployment here." ”

"Leo is right to judge this, but we can't get into those military facilities at all, let alone how to investigate!" Raymond said with his head held up and said with a sad face.

"In terms of reconnaissance of the enemy, I have some ideas in the past few days, during the day, Raymond and I will disperse into the city with the infantry to draw a map of the city and mark those military facilities, and at night, Master Feng and Cahill will infiltrate the marked military facilities according to the map, investigate the situation inside, and try to find out the enemy's deployment. Leo arranged.

Just as everyone looked down and considered Leo's plan, little Tom jumped up from his chair, raised his hands and said, "Young master, young master, what about me, what about me, what am I doing?"

"Huh, what are you...... When you go to the city gate, pay attention to the number of heavy vehicles entering the city every day, especially the vehicles transporting military rations, and be sure to count them accurately. Little Tom, how about you count, can you do it?" said Leo after a deep sigh.

"Ha! Yes, don't worry, young master, little Tom promises to complete it!" Hearing that Leo had also arranged an important task for himself, little Tom made a promise with satisfaction.

"I don't have an opinion, Leo's arrangement is very good, but I don't understand a little. Is this old Henry really credible?" Cahill glanced at Raymond and asked Leo his question.

"Old Henry can absolutely believe it, I have been friends with him for more than ten years, and he will never betray us!" Gleman saw that someone questioned Old Henry, and immediately jumped up to defend and guarantee Old Henry.

Seeing Griman's face flushed and excited, Leo pressed his hands down to let Griman sit down first, and then motioned for Cahill to continue.

"Since you said that old Henry is credible, then why is old Henry unwilling to help us scout the intelligence, you must know that since he has a certain underground force in the south, it must not be difficult to get the military information of the rebels, since he doesn't help us get information, why would he help us hide our identities and infiltrate the green city?" Cahill continued to ask his question, and the ambiguity of old Henry's attitude was the thing that worried him the most.

After listening to Cahill's question, Leo showed a smile on his face, Old Henry's choice has appeared countless times in the history of the earth, and has been used by some families, it is really nothing new, but in this slightly wild world, it can be regarded as a rather wise move.

"Old Henry naturally has his plans to do this, to put it simply, this old fox wants to bet on both sides without offending. When Leo said this, he paused, and saw that except for Feng Xifan, who had a knowing expression, everyone else present had a trace of confusion on their faces.

Leo explained to everyone: "If this war is won by the rebels in the end, or we are captured, old Henry can abandon this inn with a strong man's wrist, pretend not to know, and still do his underground business, which is completely unrelated to him, and he can even spread his power through the expansion of the rebels' military strength; He wanted to keep himself alive by taking us between the rebels and the Empire. ”

"Hey! I really underestimated that old Henry before, this wishful thinking is really good, that is to say, no matter who wins or loses the rebels and the empire, at least old Henry is invincible. Raymond suddenly realized, and couldn't help but gasp, admiring old Henry's thoughts.
