Chapter 25 Operation Tongguan
Just when Zhu Peng was planning how he should report to Chang'an, whether to report the attack first, and then report the results of the battle two days later, or directly report the results together with the results, in the dark corner of the dungeon that he did not notice, there was a discordant light and shadow, and a corner quietly poked out.
"Oh, that's miserable."
Han Ji poked her head out of the ground and sighed quietly in a voice that only she could hear.
She looked around, memorized all the arrangements here, and listened carefully to Zhu Peng's small talk with several soldiers before retracting her head and retreating all the way back to Zhou Ping's hidden place.
"I'm back!"
"How's it going, have you found Ma Dali?"
Liu Scaryan and the others were also taken aback by Han Ji's cold appearance, but Zhou Ping had long been accustomed to Han Ji's erratic temperament and her more erratic way of moving, and as soon as he saw Han Ji showing his head, he hurriedly asked.
"Found it!"
Han Ji nodded, and then told Zhou Ping about the situation in the entire Tongguan in one by one, in addition to the situation in the dungeon, Han Ji actually explored the terrain distribution of the entire Tongguan clearly, in addition to the distribution of the soldiers' barracks, as well as the temporary accommodation of the laborers.
Listening to Han Ji's unexpectedly detailed report, Zhou Ping couldn't help but feel a little emotional, this was Han Ji's second time doing investigation, and she had already been able to do such a detailed point.
"This Zhu Peng, have you heard of it?"
After listening to Han Ji's report with emotion, Zhou Ping turned his head and asked Dong Bai, although Han Ji's report was quite detailed, the most critical issue was not something that could be found out by simply exploring, that is, what was the personal strength of this Zhu Peng.
"No ......"
Dong Bai shook his head, thought about it and added two more sentences.
“…… I know that there is indeed no such person as Zhu Peng, maybe he is really not strong, not even a general. ”
Although Dong Bai said so, Zhou Ping still did not relax his vigilance, since the fall of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, many things cannot be judged from the previous vision, Lu Bu can further awaken in the realm, and ordinary people can know magic, so it is not impossible for this Zhu Peng to make a breakthrough in strength.
But that's just a possibility.
Hidden in the bushes, the city wall of Tongguan and the mountains on the side seem to be connected, but at the junction of the city wall and the mountain, there is still a small gap, and it is impossible for thousands of troops to pass through this gap, but if one or two people pass quietly, there is no problem.
Looking at that gap, a plan gradually formed in Zhou Ping's mind.
"Han Ji, you continue to go over there and watch Ma Dali, if that Zhu Peng changes his mind and wants to kill Ma Dali, tell me immediately."
Han Ji was stunned, she didn't expect Zhou Ping to have another task to be assigned to her, she subconsciously wanted to ask why, but after seeing Zhou Ping's serious expression, she still chose to respond honestly.
"And, if you have the chance, try to let him know that we're here to save him."
Zhou Ping added again, and then he stared at the gap for a while, and then turned his head to Dong Bai and Liu Scar.
"As for us, wait for them to call it a day after dark."
……
The Tongguan garrisons finished their work much later than Zhou Ping had imagined, and it was not until it was completely dark that the overseers could not see the movements of the laborers with torches, and the horn of the call to call it a day sounded reluctantly.
The gates of Tongguan slowly opened, and the laborers, who had been tortured by inhuman labor for a day, were driven into the gates, and the whip of the overseer was drawn on them, but it did not make them move much faster.
"Give me a little sharper!"
The whip was drawn, but the overseer who had drawn it frowned.
"This doesn't feel right, did I draw something else?"
The overseer who had drawn the whip looked in the direction of his own whip, and there was a slow-walking servant, but the whip did not seem to touch them, and was bounced back.
"Anything?"
He frowned and continued to identify, but even if there were torches, the hole in the gate was dark, and the flickering light of the fire pulled the shadows equally shaking, and he looked at it, but the more he looked, the more dazzled he became.
"Maybe I'm too tired......"
Although there were people around him, he stared at the darkness, but he was a little panicked in his heart for no reason, he rubbed his eyes, and covered it up with a self-mutter, and the sense of kinship in his heart weakened a little.
What he didn't know was that it wasn't until he said this that a dagger hidden by the black shadow of the talisman slowly moved away from his neck. And the owner of this dagger is Liu Scaryan, who was whipped by him before.
"Liu Scar-eye, they've already mixed in."
At the junction of the gap between the city wall and the mountain, in the corner where the fire and moonlight could not shine, Zhou Ping's voice came from it.
"Shall we act now?"
Dong Bai, who was also hidden, asked.
"No, wait, it will take some time for them to be in place."
Zhou Ping shook his head, through the talisman, he now knows the process of Liu Scar's actions well, but the price is that now his control of his body is almost zero, this kind of dual-purpose method is still too difficult for him, but fortunately, there is this gap to cover up.
According to his plan, Liu Scaryan and his gang have two main tasks, one is to mix with the laborers to facilitate rescue at the time, and the other is to control the city gates. However, Zhou Ping just regarded them as insurance, and the premise of using them was that the plan on his side failed, disturbing the other party, if his side went well, then whether it was rescuing the laborers or opening the city gate, he only used his own secret actions.
Zhou Ping could clearly perceive the actions of Liu Scaryan and his party, not only did he not feel bored waiting, but he would be nervous from time to time because of the situation over there. But Dong Bai could only wait, and the boredom she faced was naturally needless to say, and just when she was bored and wanted to fall asleep for herself, a translucent face slowly emerged from the city wall.
"Oops, scare me......"
Dong Bai subconsciously exclaimed, but at the same time as she spoke, it was she who hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth.
If this operation is exposed because of his exclamation, it will be a big mistake.
"Zhu Peng went to sleep, and now there are only two people guarding the dungeon."
Without being verbose, Han Ji brought the latest movements of the other party, concisely and to the point.
"How's Ma Dali?"
Zhou Ping asked, he still closed his eyes tightly and sensed the movements of Liu Scaryan and his party.
"I woke up a few times in the middle, and I secretly shook it in his field of vision, and I don't know if he saw it."
"Good."
Zhou Ping opened his eyes, Liu Scaryan and his party were already in place, and it was time for them to act on their own side.
"Let's go!"
