Chapter 27: Guarding and Stealing
readx;
Li Guangzhen led Xu Yang, Dahu, and Xiaohu towards the logistics of the barracks, and the last three looked back at the cage where the villagers were held from time to time, thinking about how to lure these guards away, and then change the villagers into military uniforms to successfully escape from the heavily guarded barracks?
Just as Xu Yang pulled Li Guangzhen towards the front, he saw a large tent covering an area of one acre sitting in front of him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Guangzhen saw that the destination was in front of him, and said to the three people behind him: "This is the logistics of the barracks. ”
Xu Yang nodded, seeing that there were no patrolling soldiers outside the tent, and seeing that the tent door was closed, he pushed Li Guangzhen and motioned for the other party to knock on the door. Li Guangzhen came to the door of the tent, pulled up the curtain, saw that the door inside was closed, and knew that the logistics staff had rested at this time, but the personnel were asleep inside, and immediately patted the door with his hand, and shouted: "Old man Cao, open the door quickly, I want to lead the army." ”
"Who? It's late at night, I want to get something, and I'll come back tomorrow." An old voice came from inside the tent.
Li Guangzhen heard that this old thing was lazy and didn't open the door, and when he was about to shout, his back had already been pushed by Xu Yang. Li Guangzhen coughed dryly twice and said in a low voice: "I am Li Guangzhen! Our army has a mission tomorrow morning, and we can't wait for tomorrow." Open the door quickly, it will naturally have your benefits, and it will not be disadvantaged to you. ”
Xu Yang heard Li Guangzhen finish speaking, and then saw the inside of the tent light up, and then he heard a burst of footsteps walking towards the door, and with a "squeak", the wooden door of the tent opened. I saw a rickety old man standing at the door, wearing shoes and a coat, looking at Xu Yang and the others with confused eyes, crooking his neck, opening his mouth to snort, pouting and saying: "I was sleeping soundly, and I was dreaming, and I was suddenly woken up by you." How many uniforms do you need?"
Li Guangzhen saw the other party blocking the door, and sneered: "Old man Cao, let's go into the tent and talk in detail!" After speaking, he stepped forward to push the other party away, and then strode towards the inside, and Xu Yang and the three of them rushed in.
Old man Cao saw that the other party pushed himself away, and saw that the other party came to lead the army late at night, he knew that the other party must not have told the truth, and he also knew that this kind of thing would not be seen in the light, so he hurriedly looked left and right, sighed, and hurriedly got into the tent and closed the door.
After Xu Yang came to this tent, he saw that this tent was like a big warehouse, and stacks of military supplies were piled up into small mountain bags, which were neatly placed in different categories.
Old man Cao looked at Xu Yang and the three people who were led by Li Guangzhen, and found that the three of them were very angry, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, why do I look at the three subordinates you brought?"
"These three have just entered the barracks, so it's not surprising that you look at them. Li Guangzhen said.
Old man Cao nodded suspiciously, and asked, "How many military uniforms do you want to receive?" After speaking, he pressed his hand on a table at the door, limped behind the table, and then sat on the chair.
Xu Yang and the others saw that this logistics manager was a cripple, and after seeing the other party sitting on a chair, they took out a booklet from the corner of the table. Li Guangzhen saw the other party sitting still and said, "One hundred and twenty sets of military uniforms." ”
"What? You have only a few dozen people under your command, and you have to receive 120 sets of military uniforms, which is equivalent to one of you soldiers wearing three sets of military uniforms. This kind of treatment has never been seen in our barracks! Honestly, what do you want so many military uniforms for?" said Old Man Cao in surprise.
Li Guangzhen and the four of them heard the other party's loud shouting, fearing that the other party would attract the soldiers patrolling outside, so they hurriedly waved their hands to stop the other party from yelling. Li Guangzhen saw Old Man Cao staring at him, snorted coldly, and sneered: "Let's not go around the bend either, and you don't ask what we do with military uniforms." Okay, how about I exchange twenty taels of silver for these one hundred and twenty sets of military uniforms?"
"You're beautiful. You easily exchanged more than 100 sets of military uniforms for 20 taels of silver, if the commander comes to interrogate, how can you let me explain?" Old man Cao said, his eyes were rolling around, thinking about how to extort more silver from the other party.
Li Guangzhen saw that the other party refused, and moved out of the chief to suppress himself, sneered in his heart, and said, "How about thirty taels?" Seeing that the old man was still leaning his neck and ignoring himself, he asked again: "Forget it, for the sake of your lonely and pitiful share, I will make concessions again, how about the transaction of thirty-five taels of silver?"
"Don't look at me as a bully, and don't send me like a begging for food. One price, sixty taels of silver, or you will come from there and go back there. Old man Cao said with his hands crossed over his chest.
When Li Guangzhen saw that the other party actually extorted sixty taels of silver from him, he immediately bounced up from the ground, pointed at the other party's nose, and didn't say a word for a long time. Li Guangzhen saw that the other party was still squinting at the roof, and he didn't care about himself, he snorted coldly and sneered: "My annual military salary is only as much as 20 taels, and you actually want to get 60 taels of silver from me, your heart is too dark, right? ”
When the old man Cao heard that forty-five taels of silver was about to be put into his pocket, his heart was as sweet as honey, but he still had to squeeze some more money, and said impatiently: "If you order a military uniform from the outside, you will violate the military rules and regulations! For the sake of our friendship, I will also give in, and the fifty taels of silver will be sold, otherwise we will not be accompanied." After saying that, he pretended to stand up, opened his mouth to laugh, and pretended to go to sleep.
"Fifty taels is fifty taels, so many benefits have been reaped for nothing. Li Guangzhen pouted and said. After speaking, he reluctantly took out five silver tickets of ten taels from his arms and gave them to the other party. Li Guangzhen thought that Xu Yang gave him a hundred taels of silver tickets, and he only gave this old man fifty taels of silver, and he ended up with fifty taels. Although Li Guangzhen's heart was happy, he looked distressed on the surface, as if the fifty taels were his own.
Seeing the other party's distressed appearance, Old Man Cao hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed the five silver tickets, took them under the light and looked at them carefully, with a smile on his face, he hurriedly put the five silver tickets into his arms, pointed to a corner of the tent, and said, "The military uniforms are all placed there, you follow me to get them." After saying that, he swayed his left and right arms, and walked forward with a limp.
Xu Yang saw that the two of them were bargaining as if they were buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and then Li Guangzhen reluctantly took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and gave it to the other party, as if the fifty taels of silver were his own. Xu Yang followed behind Li Guangzhen and whispered: "You just need to do things for me, and you will keep the silver for you to get in the future." These fifty taels of silver are just some desserts, and there will be big fish and meat waiting for you to take later. It's up to you to cooperate with us?"
Li Guangzhen saw that the other party had discovered the little abacus in his heart, laughed dryly, and said, "Don't worry, good man, I will definitely cooperate with you well." After finishing speaking, I saw that Old Man Cao had stopped next to a pile of munitions.
Xu Yang glanced at the big tiger and the little tiger, and motioned for the two to follow Li Guangzhen to get the military uniforms, and then heard the old man Cao say: "There is a small cart there, you can put these military uniforms on the cart and push them back." After speaking, he counted the military uniforms for the four of them, and then Xiaohu pushed a small cart, counted the uniforms, and placed them in the small cart.
Xu Yang saw that the four of them were wearing military uniforms and were about to look towards the tent when he suddenly smelled the smell of sulfur. Xu Yang looked at the place where the smell of sulfur was the strongest, and saw wooden boxes neatly placed at the back of the tent, and next to these wooden boxes, there were wooden barrels. Xu Yang took advantage of the fact that Old Man Cao was counting his military uniforms, and ran here in a puff of smoke, wanting to see what it was.
Xu Yang saw that the wooden boxes were rectangular and had several stacks, each stacked straight to the roof. When I saw that a wooden box seemed to have traces of opening, I gently opened the wooden box and looked inside, and was stunned. I saw that there were handfuls of firecrackers neatly placed in this wooden box, and the firecrackers were spaced with straw to prevent them from colliding with each other and causing damage. Next to these rectangular wooden boxes are stacks of square boxes, and when you open them, you can see that inside are metal ammunition.
Xu Yang was about to pick up a gun from the wooden box when there was a burst of footsteps in his ears, and then he heard the voice of the old man Cao shouting: "You new soldier has no rules, and you actually broke into the important place of military goods without permission, what should you be guilty of? What are you still doing there in a daze? Don't you get out of the way." ”
Xu Yang looked back and saw the old man Cao limping towards him, scolding from time to time. Xu Yang snorted coldly in his heart, pretending to be scared and begging for mercy from the other party, and then slowly left the place where the fire was opened.
Old man Cao saw that the other party was making amends to him, and when he saw that the other party had left here, he snorted coldly and said, "The military uniform has been loaded, get out of here quickly." With that, he turned around, put his hands behind his back, and limped towards the door.
Xu Yang nodded yes, and then took advantage of the other party's inattention, and opened a wooden barrel next to him, and then the smell of sulfur drilled straight into the nostrils, which was suffocating. Xu Yang looked towards the wooden barrel and saw that the barrel was full of fine sand-like black substance, and immediately judged that it was black powder. Xu Yang saw that this was a place to store munitions, and when he was about to leave, he thought about it and thought about it. Xu Yang watched the old man walk towards the distance, and immediately put the black powder in the barrel with both hands in the place where his body could be filled.
When Xu Yang was stealing gunpowder, the voice of the old man Cao came from the distance: "That new soldier, if you don't come out again, I will let the patrolling soldiers arrest you." ”
"Got it, I'm out, I'm out. As Xu Yang spoke, he gently put down the powder keg beside him, and then put his hand in his coat, and put black powder along his trouser leg. I saw Xu Yang walking towards the door, and a line of black powder was scattered on the ground in the other party's trouser leg. The source of the black powder on the ground was up to the gunpowder that had just been put down.
When Xu Yang came to the door, he saw Old Man Cao glaring at each other, scolding in his mouth. Old man Cao closed the pamphlet on the table and muttered, "Although you have obtained one hundred and twenty sets of military uniforms for fifty taels of silver, I also need to change the number." Ming'er, I still need to go out and buy one hundred and twenty sets of military uniforms to be able to match the quantity in the warehouse, otherwise I will be a prisoner and steal, and the crime will be unforgivable. ”
Li Guangzhen and the others pretended not to hear what the other party said, arched their hands towards the other party, turned around and walked outside. Xiaohu pushed the cart and followed. Xu Yang walked outside, paying attention to whether the black powder under his feet would not break from it, otherwise the previous efforts would be wasted. Xu Yang was glad that Old Man Cao didn't find that he had left a trace of black powder on the ground, and walked out of the tent smoothly.
When Xu Yang and the others came out of the tent, they looked back and saw that the tent behind them had returned to darkness. Xu Yang guessed that Old Man Cao might have fallen asleep with fifty taels of silver tickets, and he also happened to light gunpowder for himself to leave time to commit the crime. Xu Yang thought in his heart, wait until he is close to the place where the villagers are being held, and then light a line of black powder under his feet, so that when the warehouse is burning with monstrous flames, he will change the villagers into military uniforms and escape while they are in chaos, wouldn't it be an impossible mission.
And Li Guangzhen and the three of them didn't notice that there was a black mark behind them, and this black trace went straight to the inside of the logistics tent. Under the cover of the night, this black trace seems to blend in with the surrounding environment, and it is really not easy to see if you don't lie on the ground and watch carefully.
Just when Xu Yang saw that he was getting closer and closer to the place where the villagers were being held, at this time, there was not much black powder left that he had stolen. Xu Yang secretly hated himself for stealing more black powder, so that he could stay away from the logistics tent. Xu Yang squinted his eyes and looked behind him, and found that the traces of the black powder were really difficult to identify, and he was overjoyed, and then saw a bonfire next to him. Xu Yang saw that the plan could not catch up with the changes, he didn't think that the place where the villagers were detained was still a logistics place, and he saw that his temporary plan was about to work, and his heart blossomed.
Xu Yang saw Li Guangzhen leading the way in front, slowed down his pace, and whispered to the big tiger and the little tiger: "When the logistics tent explodes in a while, we will take advantage of the panic of the guards who are holding the villagers to leave, and then we will take the opportunity to change the villagers into military uniforms and escape in chaos." ”
