Chapter 37: Camouflage
"Rob, rob prisoners?" Old Man Sun was stunned when he heard this, and then asked Li Xiuyan, "Where are you going to rob the prisoner?"
"City Lord's Mansion. Li Xiuyan spit out three words neatly.
Old Man Sun was stunned again, "Could it be that you are trying to save the Shen family?"
"Exactly. Li Xiuyan said.
Old Man Sun frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded at Li Xiuyan, "Okay, you old man has helped." But you're going to give me some time to get people together. Also, the City Lord's Mansion is an extraordinary place, if you want to go in and save people, you must formulate a complete rescue plan, otherwise you will be sent to death. ”
Li Xiuyan nodded approvingly, in his previous life, as the leader of the dawn, he had organized no less than 100 large and small actions, and he had long been accustomed to making action plans. But there is one person, who is an existence that he has always been out of reach, and his relationship with him is also a teacher and friend, and it is precisely because of his help that Li Xiuyan in his previous life can successfully create Dawn, if he is here...... It will definitely be able to increase the probability of success by at least 50%.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiuyan's heart couldn't help but have a trace of longing, and he didn't know how that kid was doing now......
After making an appointment, Li Xiuyan said goodbye to Old Man Sun and left the inn.
Instead of returning to Xicheng, he rented a carriage from a nearby car dealer and drove to Beicheng.
There are no inhabitants in the northern city, no bustling streets, only a huge city lord's mansion.
The inside and outside of the city lord's mansion are heavily guarded, not to mention people, even a fly doesn't want to fly in.
Li Xiuyan parked the carriage a little farther away, sat in the carriage and watched the situation outside.
After waiting for about an hour, three carriages delivering vegetables came side by side, and were led by a guard of the Northern Underworld Army through the side gate.
Li Xiuyan remained silent, and waited outside for half an hour before he saw the three carriages coming out of the City Lord's Mansion.
When they are a little farther away, they immediately drive and quietly follow. From the north to the east, then to the outskirts, and finally to a manor.
This is supposed to be a place dedicated to supplying grain and vegetables to the Lord's Mansion.
Li Xiuyan jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the manor.
The gate of the manor is closed, and it seems that it is not open to the public.
"I'll have to figure out a way to get in. Li Xiuyan rubbed his chin and muttered.
The city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, and it is said that there are 5,000 northern underworld troops stationed in the mansion, once it is surrounded, it will be impossible to escape. If you want to enter quietly, the first thing you have to do is to sneak into this manor.
Li Xiuyan thought about it, then came to the gate of the manor, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door was opened, and a man in his thirties walked out of it, looking Li Xiuyan up and down, "Who are you looking for?"
Li Xiuyan smiled harmlessly, "This big brother, I'm not looking for anyone, I'm here to find a job." I can do anything, it doesn't matter if I give less, as long as I eat and live. ”
"No, no, we don't have a shortage of people here, you can ask elsewhere. The man waved his hand impatiently and sent Li Xiuyan out.
Li Xiuyan frowned, "Doesn't it look like I'm looking for a job like this?" Or are they really not short of people?"
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyan suddenly had a plan, and continued to squat outside, until noon, the door of the manor opened, and several laborer-looking people walked out one after another, talking and laughing all the way, discussing going to the restaurant to drink flower wine.
Li Xiuyan's memory was very good, and among those people, he saw the carriage driver who had delivered food to the City Lord's Mansion before.
Judging from the walking posture and aura of these people, they are not warriors, but a group of ordinary people.
Li Xiuyan said in his heart: This is the best.
Immediately followed up, followed them all the way back to the city, and came to the more famous Drunken Immortal Tower in the East City.
A private room was opened next to several people.
After washing the scriptures, Li Xiuyan's hearing is different from ordinary people, even if he doesn't listen deliberately, he can hear what the next door is saying.
Although it was mostly nonsense, I still heard some useful information.
Full of wine and food, the few people in the manor were ready to leave, and when they went downstairs, Li Xiuyan quietly made a trip, and the coachman who walked at the end rolled down the stairs directly on his back, and his nose and face were swollen, and his arm was broken.
The few people who walked in front of him were also affected by him, and they fell all over their faces.
Li Xiuyan saw the opportunity and hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Are you all right?"
The rest were slightly injured, except for the coachman, who was holding his arm and screaming in pain.
"My car is parked outside, quick, lift him to my car and take him to the hospital first. Li Xiuyan played the role of a well-wisher and tricked the driver into his car.
"You guys go back first, just follow me. One of them waved at the others, after all, there were not so many people in the carriage, and one or two people were enough.
Seeing it was not a big deal, and the rest of the people were drunk, so they didn't follow along.
Li Xiuyan drove the injured driver to the hospital.
The doctor diagnosed a fracture and needed to recuperate before it could heal.
When the driver with the severed hand heard this, he immediately became anxious, "What can I do, I have to start work tomorrow." ”
The man who came with him comforted: "It's okay, I'll talk to the steward, no, I can't find someone for you tomorrow." ”
"No!" the coachman didn't know if it was urgent or painful, and shouted all over his head, "My injury won't heal for a while, and once I rest, I'm afraid I'll lose my job!"
"Yes. The man sighed, and then proposed, "Why don't you find someone from your family to replace you?"
"My eldest brother died early, and I am the only man in our family now......"
"Why don't I help you?" Li Xiuyan on the side suddenly spoke: "I just have nothing to do these days, and I can take over your work." And you don't have to worry about losing your job, because I will leave Yiling in a few days, and your hand injury will be almost healed, and you can go back to work, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
If a stranger said such a thing to the coachman, he would definitely not believe it, but Li Xiuyan was kind to him, if it wasn't for Li Xiuyan to send him to the hospital in time, his hand injury might have been more serious. But even so, he didn't know much about Li Xiuyan after all, and he still had some distrust, so he asked tentatively, "That, are you really willing to help me?"
Li Xiuyan didn't want to be too hasty, and said with a smile: "It's just a good thing for you and me." Of course, if you don't believe me, you can take it as if I didn't say it. ”
As he spoke, Li Xiuyan got up and said goodbye.
"Wait a minute. ”
As soon as he walked to the door, he was suddenly stopped by the coachman, "I believe you, please help me, I will pay you double for three or five days at most." ”
Li Xiuyan raised the corners of his mouth, turned around, and looked at the coachman, "Okay, so I can also make more money." ”
