Chapter 17: Mission Impossible
"Okay, then I'll move on." Bai Ghost cleared his throat and continued, "Our mission this time seems impossible, but it is actually very simple, we just need to find the eldest princess of Wei in the palace, that is, the sister of Wei Tao and Wei Zheng, and find her, she will help us escape from the palace safely." ”
"What? Old King Wei still has a daughter? Why haven't you heard of it? The aunt asked the hundred ghosts with a puzzled expression.
The hundred ghosts didn't dare to slack off, and explained to the aunt slowly, "This princess of Wei is said to be during a night patrol of the King of Wei...... Next, everyone understands, right? Hey hey ......"
"Don't give me a hippie smile, and move on." Auntie shouted with a serious face.
After the old King Wei learned that the woman was pregnant because of his momentary confusion, in order to prevent outsiders from knowing about such palace affairs, he sent palace guards overnight to take care of the woman in the palace overnight, but who could know that the woman died of excessive blood loss after the birth of the princess. Because the king of Wei lost his beloved concubine, he specially ordered that the villages and towns where the renamed women lived were slaughtered, regardless of age or age. But a few days later, when the old king of Wei woke up from his grief, he deeply regretted his reckless behavior, and later, in order to make up for his crimes, the old king of Wei especially doted on the princess, thinking that this was an opportunity for God to make up for his sins. Hyakki said in a voice.
"Then what is the name of this princess of Wei, don't you know?" Auntie asked.
"I don't know, there is no record in the Wei literature. I only know that there is a princess in the Wei Kingdom. Hyakki replied honestly.
"Then you know where this princess lives, right?" Auntie continued to ask angrily.
"I don't know, and the mission doesn't mention it, it only says that she is in the palace." Seeing that the aunt was about to have a seizure, the voice of the hundred ghosts replied much quieter.
"You should have a map of the inside of the palace, right? It's okay not to have the whole part? Even if it's a fragment? Auntie's voice raised an octave.
Bai Gui shook his head, he didn't dare to say anything after his aunt's aura came up.
"There's nothing, there's nothing, what's the use of you?" The aunt suddenly stood up and pointed at the hundred ghosts and shouted.
Suddenly, the hundred ghosts rolled three times in fright, rolled to the edge of the camp gate, and lay on the ground trembling.
"Auntie, you dissipate your anger first, maybe he really doesn't know the question you just asked." Xiao Jian said as he stood between the hundred ghosts and his aunt.
"Well, since you've said so, let's let him go first." Auntie glared at the hundred ghosts, "What are you still doing lying on your stomach?" Ready to sleep on the floor? ”
Bai Gui sat up suddenly, as if he felt that Xiao Jian could protect him, and sat behind Xiao Jian to prevent his aunt from hurting him again.
Xiao Jian simply ignored him when he saw the posture of the hundred ghosts, it seemed that his aunt had created a lot of trauma to his young mind.
"Brother, look at this, it is written here that the palace guards rotate every 3 hours." A childish voice is small, but the big guy can't help but be overjoyed.
"Xiao Yan is awesome, he is literate at such a young age!" The aunt took Xiao Yan into her arms like she saw a baby, and stroked Xiao Yan's face like a treasure.
"This is all taught to me by my grandmother, Auntie, you hurt me." Xiao Yan, who was hugged in his arms, pushed his aunt away and ran outside the tent, "You adults do your adults' business, I'll just play outside alone for a while!" ”
The aunt nodded with satisfaction, and then changed her face like a Sichuan opera to look at everyone with a solemn expression.
"Come, I'm going to arrange the personnel arrangements for this infiltration mission now, and you've all listened to me!" The aunt took out a branch like a commander, and after drawing a square on the ground directly in front of her, she drew a square inside the square, and continued, "This is Anyi City, and this is the palace of the King of Wei in the city. ”
"There are 6 of us in total, divided into 3 groups, each of them is a group of two, I am in a group with a kitten, an old wolf is in a group with an old ghost, and Xiao Jian is in a group with a stupid cat. We took advantage of the darkness to climb over the wall and enter the city, and I will take the lead. Xiao Yan has just reminded everyone that the city and the palace guards change guards every 3 hours, but we have no way of knowing exactly what time the guards will be changed, the only way is to wait outside the city gate for the garrison troops to change their guards, and seize the gap between the changes of guards to carry out the infiltration mission, after the meeting, everyone will come with me to the city gate to wait for the garrison troops to change their guards. Are there any questions? ”
Everyone shook their heads to indicate that there was no problem, and even the cat brother who was dazed on the side shook his head, and he didn't know if he didn't understand it or if there was no problem.
"Alright, the meeting is over, each of them is ready to prepare equipment and set off immediately!" The aunt issued the order categorically.
Immediately after that, everyone dispersed and prepared, only Xiao Jian stood in place stunned.
"Xiao Jian, why don't you go and prepare?" The aunt saw that only Xiao Jian did not act, so she asked curiously.
"Auntie, I have nothing to prepare."
"Nothing to prepare? Weapons, armor, you don't need any of that? ”
Xiao Jian blushed and said, "The armor is still Xiao Yan's father's old clothes, weapons, a sharpened bamboo pole, and a patina kitchen knife." ”
"Are you kidding me? Is this your gear? Are you really thinking of us as a peasant uprising? The aunt glanced at Xiao Jian angrily and threw him a copper sword, "Take it, I have this one that can defend myself, you take it first." ”
"What about you?" Xiao Jian asked his aunt embarrassedly.
"I don't have to worry about you, you just have to worry about Brother Cat a lot when the time comes, don't let him poke any basket out." After speaking, the aunt walked to the gate of the tent and said, "Xiao Jian, inform them to gather here." ”
"Assemble!" Xiao Jian shouted after receiving his aunt's order.
It didn't take long for everyone to be assembled, Xiao Jian looked sideways, hehe, isn't this the squad version of the peasant armed team.
The old wolf held his machete in one hand and the lid of the barrel in the other. The old ghost didn't know what he had been doing all this time, what he was like before he left, what he was like when he came back, still holding his staff like a crutch, the only difference was that he had changed his dirty clothes with his aunt's footprints on them. The kitten had a wine bottle pinned to his waist, and he was holding a bronze sword like Xiao Jian in his hand. This looks normal. Looking at Brother Cat again, good guy, it feels like he is going to move, with hemp rope wrapped around his waist and shoulders, and a big cloth bag behind his back, and he doesn't know what is in it, only the wooden bow in his hand makes Xiao Jian feel that he is not here to travel.
"Xiao Yan, you sleep in the tent and get up, we will all come back, be good! Waiting for us to come back here. Auntie looked at Xiao Yandao.
Xiao Yan nodded obediently, and then found a blanket in a corner of the camp tent and covered it on his body, looking at everyone.
"Everyone is here, let's go!"
A group of 6 people followed the aunt in the direction of Anyi City.
