Chapter XXII
The night in the desert is even colder, the starry sky is like washing, and the sand is as white as snow.
From time to time, there were sporadic cries in the city, which made people frightened, and wild dogs neighed from time to time, like ghosts.
The soldiers of Half Moon City patrolled the march path along the city walls all night, nervous. The bloody battles of the day are still vivid, and some soldiers gathered together to boast about their heroic deeds with excitement on their faces.
Dressed in black robes and black turbans, with blades in one hand and a rope in the other, Seya and Bella hid in the shadows, staring nervously at the soldiers on the city walls.
"Shift change! Shift! ”
At one o'clock in the morning, a group of soldiers marched up to the tower, and the patrolling soldiers yawned and said, "I'm tired to death, I can finally rest." I guess I collapsed on the bed, and the thunder couldn't wake me up. ”
"Hehe, why don't you go out and have some fun?"
When the soldier heard this, his eyes lit up, and he didn't feel sleepy, "Let's go, let's have fun today, and let him see Hades tomorrow." ”
The group laughed, you pat me on the head, I kicked your ass, giggling and laughing, they said hello to the sergeant who changed guards, and went straight to the kiln in the corner of the city.
The sergeant smiled, and he didn't blame it, there was a saying, "Don't laugh when you are drunk and lying on the battlefield, and a few people will fight in ancient times." "I don't know what will happen tomorrow today, and the sergeant is not surprised, and with a wave of his hand, let the soldiers who have changed guards patrol separately.
It was too late, it was fast, and while the soldiers were changing guards, the two figures were like lightning, flashing by, going down the city, and in a short time they had reached the corner. It was Thea and Bella. The two of them squatted in place, looked around, and saw that no one found it, and the surroundings were quiet, except for a few insect chirpings from time to time, there was no movement. Bella nodded to Thea, pulled the masked black veil to the bridge of her nose, leaving only two pairs of black eyes that were like jewels, and then pointed in the direction of the Xionglupan camp.
Seya nodded, and after putting on the scarf, she quietly touched the Xionglufan camp.
Bella, seeing that Seya had walked some distance, walked or crawled in the other direction like a ghost, and in a few breaths, she had already approached the camp. She hid in the shadows, looked around, and whispered a few desert cricket calls in Thea's direction. After a while, there were also a few cricket sounds over there. It was quiet again in all directions.
Bella threw the hook at the earthen wall that was more than two people high, and then pulled it, hanging the hook securely. She put the knife to her mouth, climbed up the city like a gecko along the rope, and when she saw that there was no one around, she flipped in.
Quietly, countless tents were arranged neatly in an endless row, like huge steamed buns, placed there overwhelmingly, waiting for the giant's meal.
At this time, it was nearly two o'clock in the morning, most of the soldiers had already rested, and outside the tents, there were soldiers patrolling in twos and threes from time to time.
Bella dodged a few times, dodged the patrolling soldiers, flashed the guard post, and touched the Chinese army camp.
In the camp of the Chinese army, Ye Ge unfolded a parchment scroll, read it several times word by word, and said, "What do you think?" ”
"This is really the help of the true gods, as long as the city gate is opened at four o'clock in the morning tomorrow, there will be no worries about the city of Half Moon not being broken!" Leonard Road.
"I'm afraid it's the other party's poisonous plan." Toto worried.
Ye Ge thought for a while and said, "This matter would rather be believed than not believed, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, and we cannot afford it." We can do so! ”
"Your Highness's clever plan!"
As he was talking, he heard shouts outside the tent, "It's water!" ”
Startled, Yego rushed out of the tent, followed by Toto and Leonard, only to see a fire burning in the tent to the southeast, reflecting half of the sky red.
"Oh, it's not good, it's a grain and grass warehouse!" Toto was shocked.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Yego said angrily.
Leonard picked up the drumstick and thumped the drum. Immediately, there was chaos in the barracks.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
"It's water, it's water, get up and put out the fire!"
"Ah, where did the water go?"
"I don't know!"
The fire took advantage of the wind, burned when it was touched, and spread rapidly. Desperate to save him, he turned around and went back to the tent.
"Dog thief, take your life!"
I saw a coquettish shout, and a black shadow rushed out of the darkness, and flashed towards Ye Ge's side with a brush.
That Yego groaned and fell to the ground.
The black shadow did not linger, it flashed into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
Toto saw Yego fall to the ground and exclaimed, "There is a thief! ”
Hurriedly pounced on Yego. Lift him up.
Nayego touched his left chest with his hand and said to Toto, "It's okay, it's good to have a golden silk armor to protect you." ”
"God forbid!" Toto called lucky.
hurriedly escorted Yego back to the tent.
The Xionglu army tossed and turned for half a night, and the fire was extinguished when it was almost dawn.
Counting the losses, there were not many casualties. It's a pity that more than half of the grain and grass are lost. Brother Ye was angry and anxious, took the parchment roll in his hand, and said, "Anger kills people!" We're going to bloody Half Moon City tonight! ”
But it was said that Bella took advantage of the chaos to assassinate Yego, and thinking that he had succeeded, he quietly slipped out of the camp and touched under the half-moon city wall. Seya had been waiting under the walls for a long time. The two of them nodded their heads, threw the hook on the wall, and quietly climbed up to the top of the city like geckos, and sneaked back to their dwellings.
Bella took a shower, changed into her usual clothes, and when she saw that it was getting brighter, she couldn't take a break, and walked straight to Wei Lai's residence. That Huang Rushe had already gotten up and was practicing his sword in the courtyard. Seeing that it was Bella, he hurriedly collected his sword momentum and arched his hand.
"Miss Bella, what's the matter with such a rush in the morning?"
"There is indeed an urgent military situation, and we must report it to His Highness Weilai."
"Girl, please come with me." Huang Rushe was inconvenient to ask more, knowing her relationship with Wei Lai, she hurriedly put on the long robe that was put aside, and led Bella to walk quickly outside Wei Lai's room.
The two of them turned a few winding paths and stopped at a hut in the innermost part of the courtyard. The sentry guarding saw that it was Huang Rushe, and did not dare to stop it.
Huang Rushe shouted outside the room, "Your Royal Highness, the minister Huang Rushe has led Miss Bella to ask for a meeting!" ”
Wei Lai had already gotten up and was reading a book in his room. Hearing Huang Rushe's shout, Shi Shiran got up, walked out of the door, saw Bella, and said, "Oh, my sister Bella! I miss it. After saying goodbye to Yuquan City, I thought I would never see you again! How do you know I live here? ”
Bella laughed, "Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths." We are the ears of our business. ”
Wei Lai laughed, took Bella's jade hand and led it to the house. Huang Rushe walked away with interest.
Bella entered the house, withdrew her hand, and said, "Your Royal Highness, I have an urgent military situation, and I beg you to report it to King Ebigai." ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. Wei Lai smiled disapprehantly.
Bella thought he didn't believe it, and said, "Truth be told, I'm not an ordinary businessman, but a member of Dark Moon, the most mysterious assassination organization in the Great Moon Country. ”
As she spoke, she rolled up the light veil on her arm, and saw that in the secret place of the jade arm, a small black crescent was tattooed, and a red snake pattern was wrapped around the crescent, which looked particularly demonic.
Wei has been in the Great Moon Country for some days, and naturally knows a lot about some anecdotes in the Great Moon Country, and has also heard about the deeds of the Black Moon Organization, and has seen the tattoos, he has become a little more confident, and the two have been skin-to-skin, so there is no need to lie to Bella if he wants to come, and it is also about the military situation, so he added a little respect, and said, "Sister said." ”。
"The chief helmsman of my family knows the truth that there are no eggs under the nest, and specially ordered us to assassinate Brother Ye and burn his grain and grass to help the soldiers and civilians of the Great Moon Country. So at two o'clock in the morning today, Sister Thea and I went to assassinate Yego. An important piece of information was heard. ”
Bella gave a brief account of the night.
Wei Lai listened to it and admired it, and when he looked at Nabela, he felt even more mysterious and moving.
After Bella finished speaking, she saw that Wei Lai didn't speak for a long time, just stared at her, and said angrily, "Your Royal Highness, but you don't believe it?" ”
Wei Lai reacted at this time, and said with some shame, "My sister is laughing, it's just your heroic behavior that shocked and admired me. Thinking that the Xionglupan camp is heavily guarded, but you are like entering a no-man's land, taking people's lives in the midst of all hosts, and you are still unscathed, you are really God's men! I was so stupid that I made my sister laugh. It's just that Nadramani is an important minister of the Great Moon Kingdom. To convince King Ebigai that there is no physical evidence, I am afraid ....... ”
Bella smiled, "I believe that the prince has his own way, my identity is kept secret, and the Darkmoon Organization does not need to prove anything to Abigai, hiding and acting are our beliefs." I hope the prince understands, and I will only tell you who I am, and you better not talk about it to King Ebigai. ”
"That's nature." Wei Lai said with a smile.
"Even so, I can't stay longer. Farewell. Bella gave up her hand, and walked out of the door, and when she reached the door, she smiled back, her eyes were full of water, her face was flushed, and she did not wait for the guards to save her, and went away.
Wei Lai opened his mouth to stay, but it was too late, so he could only look at Bella's distant figure and stand for a long time.
