Chapter 25: To the Barracks

readx;

Li Guangzhen saw Xu Yang bowing his head there and pondering something, and suddenly thought that when he said "Reducing Needle", the other party's eyes flashed with a greedy green light, and suddenly a terrible thought came to his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Hero, we can say okay, I just lead you into the barracks and assist you in rescuing the villagers, as for whether you can rescue the villagers, I can't guarantee this! In addition, I can make it clear, except for these two things, I won't help you steal things!"

Xu Yang saw that the other party waved his hand and expressed his worries, and knew that the other party must be worried that he would let the other party steal the tattoo needle, and sneered: "Don't worry, I won't let you steal things for me." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Li Guangzhen was relieved when he heard that the other party would not let him go to the barracks to steal things, and asked, "There are only five of you, how can you rescue hundreds of villagers?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own ideas. Let me ask you, do you have any empty uniforms in your barracks?" asked Xu Yang.

Li Guangzhen heard the other party inquire about the empty military uniform, and immediately guessed that the other party wanted the villagers to change into military uniforms, and then took the opportunity to slip away. Li Guangzhen saw that the other party had already thought of a plan, touched his chin and thought about it, and said: "I don't dare to guarantee whether the villagers can successfully escape from the barracks, and there are quite a few military uniforms, but these military uniforms are usually distributed by logistics, and they are distributed according to a certain season, and they will not be issued randomly." Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Xu Yang asked.

Li Guangzhen stretched his neck and looked at the small wooden box that Ma Zichen was holding in his arms, swallowed his saliva fiercely, licked his lips and said: "Although I am only a small boss in the military camp, and my subordinates are only a few dozen people, I don't dare to expect to make friends with the dignitaries and nobles above, but I am friends with these logistics and others. As long as we give the other party a certain benefit, the other party will definitely give us a few sets of military uniforms and keep our mouths shut. ”

Xu Yang understood what the other party meant, and saw that the other party kept looking at the small wooden box in Ma Zichen's arms, sneered in his heart, and wondered: "The situation in the army is really an eye-opener for me! Even logistics can be bought, what else can't be done!" asked: "Can I exchange one hundred taels of silver for more than a hundred sets of military uniforms?"

"Yes, yes. Li Guangzhen said. When Li Guangzhen heard that the other party was going to exchange one hundred taels of silver for military uniforms, his heart blossomed, and he secretly calculated how much benefit he could get from it.

Xu Yang saw that the other party was as quiet as water, I am afraid that his heart was already surging! Xu Yang did not break it, and asked: "How many people have been arrested by you in the name of Anning Village, and are they all safe?"

"We took 120 people from Anning Village, and now they are safe and sound, except for not having enough to eat. Li Guangzhen said.

Ma Zichen, Dahu and Xiaohu heard that their relatives were safe and sound now, and their hanging hearts fell to the ground, and they breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Xu Yang thought that there were only one hundred and twenty villagers, and when he was about to take out a hundred silver tickets from his arms and give them to the other party, he thought about it again, and took the small wooden box that Ma Zichen was holding, counted out one hundred taels of silver from it, and then gave it to Li Guangzhen, and then gave the small wooden box to Ma Zichen.

When Xu Yang got this box of silver, he had never counted how much silver was in it, but now when he counted it, he suddenly gasped and found that there were more than two hundred taels of silver in it, how many orphans and young girls would need to be killed to make so much money?

Li Guangzhen didn't care what the other party was thinking, he just put the silver into his arms, smiled on his face, and thought secretly: "My annual military salary is no more than a mere twenty taels of silver, if I only send fifty taels to that logistics, wouldn't I still end up with fifty taels." These fifty taels of silver are equivalent to two years of my service in the barracks. Today is really lucky, not only picked up a life, but also got fifty taels of silver. ”

Xu Yang naturally knew that if the 100 taels of silver were given to Li Guangzhen, the other party would definitely be corrupt, but if he didn't give the other party a little benefit, how could the other party serve him wholeheartedly? Xu Yang put his hands behind his back, looked at the sun gradually setting over the mountain, and said: "Mr. Li, how long will it take to get from us to the barracks?"

"From us, if we take the main road, it will take three incense sticks, and if we take the remote path, it will be difficult to say. Li Guangzhen said.

Xu Yang calculated the time, thinking that if he went to the barracks along the avenue, he was afraid that he would encounter the patrolling soldiers interrogating him halfway, and if he walked along the path, although there would be some delay on the road, it would save unnecessary trouble. Xu Yang looked at the sunset and said to him, "Let's fill our stomachs first, and then walk along the path." Xiaohu, you go and rip off the dead soldier's clothes. Big Tiger, find a hidden place for your dead soldiers to bury. ”

The big tiger and the little tiger nodded, and then walked out one after another. Xu Yang watched the two of them go out, and said to Li Guangzhen: "You can tell me about the situation in the military camp again!"

Li Guangzhen saw the two of them, the big tiger and the little tiger, go out to pick up the uniforms of the dead officers and soldiers, and bury the corpses, and also guessed that the three of them wanted to change into the appearance of soldiers and blend into the barracks. Li Guangzhen explained the situation of the military camp to Xu Yang while looking at the other party. While Li Guangzhen was talking about the endless explanation, he secretly thought in his heart: "This guy is only in his early twenties, but he didn't expect that he would be so good at it, but he was so vicious." ”

Xiaohu took the lead in sending the military uniform, and then went out to help Dahu bury the corpses of the officers and soldiers. After the two came back one after another, they saw Xu Yang, Ma Zichen, and Li Guangzhen squatting by the bonfire, eating game in their hands, and the child was nibbling on the baked cakes.

Xu Yang saw the big tiger and the little tiger coming in, pointed to the game at the two of them, and told them to eat it quickly, and hurry up after eating. When Xu Yang was eating wild meat, he told Ma Zichen how to acupuncture and moxibustion, but Ma Zichen had read some medical books before, and he understood everything with a finger.

After everyone ate and drank enough, Xu Yang, Dahu, and Xiaohu changed into military uniforms, Xiaohu picked up the military flag of the green battalion soldiers, Xu Yang and Dahu each held a fire gun, and Li Guangzhen held a knife and said goodbye to Ma Zichen one after another. Under the leadership of the big tiger and the little tiger, Xu Yang and Li Guangzhen followed him and walked towards the mountains. Ma Zichen watched the four of them leave, wiped his tears, and thought that if Xu Yang and the three of them had something to do, he was afraid that the green battalion soldiers would come to the village to search for him. If he was caught by the officers and soldiers, he was afraid that he would live up to Xu Yang's trust, so he took the necessities and dragged the little girl to hide in the mountains and forests. Alone.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, Xu Yang and the four of them overcame thorns and thorns, all the way through the mountains, and walked towards the south. Li Guangzhen saw the three of them walking in front of and behind him, and there was a sound of "buzz, buzz" in his ears from time to time, and while hitting mosquitoes in his face, he secretly thought: "If you don't take the big road, you just choose this difficult rugged path to walk, and I will be eaten by mosquitoes as a delicacy." ”

Xu Yang looked at Li Guangzhen who was walking in front of him and muttered, and slapped his left and right cheeks from time to time, knowing that the other party must hate these mosquitoes to death, and how could he feel good, from time to time he had to be bitten by mosquitoes, and his ears were full of "buzzing" sounds. Xu Yang looked ahead again, and saw the big tiger walking in front, holding a firewood knife in his hand to cut through thorns and thorns to open the way, followed by Xiaohu, also holding a firewood knife to open the way.

Xu Yang calculated the time, and felt that he had walked for almost three hours of incense, and if it was calculated according to the time of walking the road, he had already arrived in the barracks at this time. When Xu Yang and the others walked towards the barracks, they also discussed how to answer if they met the officers and soldiers on patrol, how to salute if they met their bosses, and discussed all kinds of things that would suddenly appear, so that there would not be a rush situation. Just when everyone was planning ahead to discuss things, Xu Yang asked, "Big Tiger, how long will it take to walk from the barracks?"

Under the light of the moon, Li Guangzhen looked around, and found that the terrain in this area was so unfamiliar, and secretly wondered if he would have gone wrong? Just when Li Guangzhen was thinking wildly, he heard the big tiger turn around and say, "According to the time, we should be almost there!" When he said this, he also wondered why he had not yet arrived at the barracks after walking the four pillars of incense.

Xu Yang could judge from the meaning of the big tiger that the road he was taking was not wrong, but it was just a little short of time from the destination. Xu Yang pondered as he walked, why hadn't he seen a single soldier patrolling until now? Could it be that these soldiers had deserted?

Just as everyone continued to walk forward, they gradually saw a light in front of them, and the light became more and more obvious and dazzling. When the four of them saw the light appearing in front of them, they were overjoyed and quickened their pace and ran forward. Just as the four of them were running forward, they suddenly saw two soldiers flash out from behind a tree stump, and both of them pointed a fire hammer at themselves, shouting, "Who? ”

"The two brothers are angry, it's Li Guangzhen below!" Li Guangzhen hurriedly said.

Xu Yang and the three of them saw that there were patrolling soldiers blocking the road, and hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear of being seen as having any flaws. Xu Yang saw that this group of people had firearms in their hands, and thought that it was best not to interrogate them more, otherwise they would send you back to the west. But Xu Yang didn't know the bottom in his heart, he didn't know if he was fast, or if the two of them were fast, if the two of them set off the guns, they would definitely wake up the officers and soldiers in the barracks, and it would be a big deal, so be careful to guard the two, if it is not good, the only way to strike first is to be strong.

When the two patrolling soldiers heard that the other party was Li Guangzhen, they squinted their eyes and confirmed it, and immediately relaxed their vigilance, put down their firearms, looked at the remaining three for a while, came to Li Guangzhen's side, and asked: "Mr. Li, why do you choose a difficult mountain path to walk if you don't leave the main road behind?"

"Recently, the road has not been smooth, and the remnants of the Holy Lotus Sect often haunt them. And we saw that it was getting late, and if we chose the big road, we were afraid that we would meet this group of outlaws, so we retreated to the second best thing and chose to take the small road. Li Guangzhen replied.

The two soldiers nodded, and one of them asked, "I really don't know what errands you went out on, why did you return to the barracks so late?"

"Brother smiled, we were ordered to go out on an errand, so dare to go out for recreation! When Li Guangzhen said, he glanced at Xu Yang and the three of them and left.

When the two soldiers saw that the other was going back to restore their lives, they shouted, "Walk slowly on the road, the mountain road is not easy to walk!" After saying that, they went to other places together and began to patrol.

Xu Yang saw that the two soldiers just asked casually, and did not ask a series of questions, so he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Xu Yang watched the barracks gradually appear in front of him, and said to Li Guangzhen beside him: "You are doing well, continue to deal with the officers and soldiers who are questioning according to the words we said in advance." ”

Li Guangzhen laughed dryly, originally five people were going to come to the barracks, but now they have become three people, I really don't understand how these three people have such courage, is it really impossible to put life and death out of the way?

Xu Yang found that there were fewer and fewer trees around him as he walked, and when the four of them went down a slope, they looked towards the open space military camp in front of them as they walked. I saw that the barracks in front of me was in an open space, covering an area of about 100 acres, the barracks were square, there were four entrances and exits, there were large and small bonfires in the barracks, and the barracks were bright, as if a red mirror was spread on the ground.

Xu Yang and the three of them followed Li Guangzhen towards the barracks, and they also knew that they really put life and death aside at this time, if Li Guangzhen yelled at the barracks at this time, he was afraid that he would be surrounded by soldiers immediately, and he would not be able to escape. Xu Yang and the three of them wanted to regret it at this time, but it was too late, so they could only settle down when they came. Xu Yang can only bless Li Guangzhen not to betray himself, otherwise he will definitely beat the other party to death before he dies, as his backing. As for whether or not they can escape from the ranks of hundreds of soldiers, this can only be left to fate.

Li Guangzhen may also see the worries of the three of them, and said: "Three heroes, don't worry, since I promised you to enter the barracks and assist you in rescuing the villagers, I will definitely not lose my trust." It's just that I can't guarantee whether the villagers will be rescued by then!"

Xu Yang and the three of them looked up and looked ahead, only to see that the periphery of the barracks was made of tree stumps as a city wall, and there were several barriers outside, and a gate in front was half open, and above the gate, on the horizontal path of the wall, there were archers and musketeers, and there were several columns of patrol soldiers patrolling back and forth on the left and right sides of the barracks. The barracks were guarded by soldiers like a bucket.
