Chapter 903: A Magnificent New Year (3)
Grana was anxious because she had a very important report to Alicia, and now she had lost her freedom. Although the adventurer camp of the Western Continent Alliance is near Baoqing City, and there are usually a few brave guys who occasionally run into the city to visit and shop, but relatively speaking, the people of the Western Continent are still very conspicuous. Grana and Wei Chimu, who were wrapped in cloaks, were caught by a large group of soldiers in the street on the second day after entering the city, and before the two of them could react to what was going on, they were imprisoned without saying anything.
The reason is that the two men are spies sent by the Western Continent Alliance - there is a contact from Granna, which is evidenced by a magic crystal ball.
The thief girl realized that something might not be right, and she had considered escaping from prison, but the previous body search was so thorough that even the fat time had been lost, so the girl now had no tools to use. Besides, Yu Chimu and Grana were separated from each other, and even if she escaped, she couldn't save this sad uncle.
However, after Grana had been with Sophia for so many years, and had met Alicia who was even darker than Princess Pink, the Thief Girl finally managed to get a shocking news from the female jailer who guarded the prison using the method that the two good friends often used.
No matter what era or any country, after a great defeat on the battlefield, it must find a scapegoat to come out and bear the blame and accept punishment to calm the emotions of the people. These unlucky guys can be generals who command troops, logistics officers in charge of supplies, intelligence ministers who spend resources on scouting the various girls, or ministers who receive kickbacks from arms dealers to supply inferior weapons to the army, of course. It can also be another country that is accused of aiding the enemy, but is in fact innocent with an arrow in the knee.
For example, the Western Continent Alliance.
It just so happened that the alliance adventurers who appeared before the Ming Empire launched the Jedi counterattack were actually deliberately arranged by the demons, they had already been conquered by the other party and controlled their minds, but they just pretended to be fighting against the demons. But these are all deceptions. If they really want to help the Ming Empire, then why did they send not an army but a group of armed civilians? The answer is very simple, because there is no army left in the Western Continent! As for the angel named Icarus, who can guarantee that she is a genuine angel and not a demon pretend?
The demon organized the people of the Western Continent who had been completely conquered and came to the Eastern Continent in the name of aiding the Ming Empire, but secretly he was looking around for information about the Ming army. Since the other party was a compatriot of Zhuo Erlivan, the Ming Empire did not maintain sufficient vigilance. So much so that they took advantage of the loophole. In the counteroffensive operation, the reason why every move of the Ming army was known by the demons in advance was precisely because these Western Continent people quietly snitched in the back.
In order to no longer be bothered by the other party's various espionage operations. At the same time, in order to prevent the demon from using the portal in the adventurer's camp as a troop point to directly threaten Baoqing City, the Ming Empire secretly planned a military attack against the alliance. The time was set at twelve o'clock at midnight for the moment when the New Year arrived.
"These people are insane, and hopelessly stupid!" Granna muttered as she pounded the wall in her solitary cell, gritting her teeth and scratching frantically, "or are they now out of their sane judgment due to failure, fear, and disillusionment?" Anyway, it would be too illogical to shift the blame onto the Alliance. How can you increase the number of enemies at will at this time?"
Before the distressed girl could sort out a clue, there was a sound of footsteps in the aisle. The head of the jailer and the female man in charge of the place slowly paced to the door of Granna's cell with two attendants, squinted through the iron bar, looked inside, pouted, and said, "Hey, new here." β
If Alicia and the others, who were defenseless against the Ming Empire's attack, were unfortunately defeated, then I am afraid that I would have to be in the company of cockroaches and rats forever in this dark and narrow space in the future, and even if it was to improve the environment a little, I would have to establish a good relationship with the female man in front of me, who looked stronger and taller than the ordinary literati man. So Grana quickly got up from the haystack and walked to the railing: "You have something to do with me?"
The jailer immediately squatted down and used the key to open the small door used to deliver the dinner plate at the bottom, and sent in several hot oriental dishes that had just been made: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve." Even the heinous fellows who are going to the execution ground tomorrow can get extra meals today, so you can eat as much as you want. Other than that. I advise you to taste the braised chicken carefully, because you won't know when it will be next time you eat the chicken. β
After Grana had thanked her, the jailer swaggered away with his entourage as he had come.
The Thief Maiden is an important prisoner and is held in the deepest part of the prison, where there is no one else but her. The silence that followed the jailer's departure was also perfect for her to take the rest of the action.
Shredded chicken.
Of course, Grana is not the foodie girl like Li Huayin who was seduced home by a large number of delicacies bought by the rich second generation, and she tore apart the fragrant braised chicken in front of her for the sake of eating.
The jailer's head had something to say just now, and she was hinting at something mysterious in Granna's dish. Unsurprisingly, the thief girl found a roll of wax-sealed letter paper and a cell key in the belly of the chicken.
The letter was written by Lin Feiyun. In the letter, the old general briefly summarized the next actions to be taken by the Ming Empire, and regrettably said that he had been removed from his post because of the defeat in the battle, and that he could not stop Gongsun Yi at present, and could only use this method to help the captured Grana a little.
"It seems that there is probably some kind of change within the Ming Empire. Grana couldn't help but mutter, "What the hell is that emperor named Gongsun Yi thinking? It's like he's helping demons everywhere...... Could it be true that Alicia was right?"
After a full meal, the thief girl regained her strength and gently opened the cell door with the key. Sneaking and hiding his figure, he slowly touched the outside without making a sound.
Since it was the New Year, the jailers also received luxurious extra meals. The head of the jailer of the female man and a group of sisters gathered around the table, and drank all kinds of delicious dishes from nowhere, and drank the wine from nowhere, completely oblivious to Granna's breath - perhaps the jailer head noticed. It's just pretending not to find out.
In this way, Grana successfully left this land of right and wrong. But she didn't run away immediately, because Wei Chimu was still in prison with the man next to her. It was impossible for Lin Feiyun to save Grana alone, and Yu Chimu must have made arrangements on his side.
After waiting for a moment in the shadow of the deserted cold alley, several people in jailer uniforms came out of the men's prison, among them, the handsome black-haired guy who took off his mask and revealed his face was not Wei Chimu, but who was it?
The few people who escorted Wei Chi Mu out should all be people who had something to do with Lin Feiyun, and the leading squad leader looked at Wei Chi Mu very excitedly and tried to lower his voice and said, "General Wei Chi." Now that you're back, why don't you go and meet with General Lin? With your help, you'll definitely be able to stop all this crazy thing. β
"I'm sorry. After being exiled by Gongsun Yi in disguise, I have found an emperor worthy of my allegiance in a certain country of the Western Continent Alliance, and now I am no longer from the Ming Empire. Wei Chimu shook his head gloomily, and then took a deep breath and comforted the others. "But it doesn't matter. The leaders of the alliance have already speculated that Gongsun Yi is likely to have some problems, and I think they should be wary of this. β
Sorry dude, you guessed wrong. Alicia is happily playing with Michelle at the moment.
"But General Wei Chi, can we really trust the Western Continent Alliance?" said the squad leader with a worried face, "There is no need to doubt that they are fighting against demons, but will the other party take the opportunity to annex the Ming Empire?"
Recalling the irresponsible lazy and trouble-fearing character of a certain blonde little queen, Yu Chimu shook his head vigorously and said with great firmness: "No!"
"While I'm curious to know what prompted you to answer so crisply, my gut tells me not to go any further. The team leader wiped his sweat quietly. took out a long thick rope and handed it to Wei Chimu's hand, "We can only help you get here." Please be careful. β
After the squad leader and his men left, Grana whistled and beckoned Wei Chimu to the alley: "Weishenme took off the mask?"
"No way, have you ever seen a jailer wearing a mask?" Wei Chimu shrugged helplessly, "This will be more conspicuous." By the way, do you have any jihua next?"
"I plan to sneak out while the Ming Empire is preparing to attack the Alliance camp, after all, the crystal ball has been taken away by the other party, and I can't get in touch with Alysia and them, so I can only report it in person. Granna pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, "It's fine to leave the crystal ball there, but if you pretend to be us and send some false information to the Alliance, it will be a big problem." Wei Chimu, do you have any suggestions on how to escape?"
The young general shook his head with a wry smile: "It's okay to let me command the army, I'm really not good at this kind of work." Granna, I'll leave it all to you. β
The Thief Maiden didn't say anything about it: "Well, anyway, we have to reach the walls first." Be careful, although there are no pedestrians on the streets, and there may be patrols, let's take the pathways and don't get exposed. β
βββββββββββββββββββI'm the dividerβββββββββββββββββ
Every house in the entire Baoqing City is now lit up, and bursts of laughter and noisy sounds can be heard from time to time. There was not half a figure on the street, and even the small alley where two people usually had to turn sideways to squeeze through it seemed extremely spacious. At this time, even the thief will not go out, and the only thing left outside is the homeless wild cat and wild dog.
and a pair of male and female thieves who have just escaped from prison and have set off countless bloody storms on the rivers and lakes...... I'm sorry I didn't say anything.
Indeed, as Grana said, because the Ming Empire focused all its attention on the adventurer's camp, the security in Baoqing City was very lax, and they easily arrived at the foot of the city wall. However, no matter how lax she is, the guards there are still very tight, although the thief girl is confident that she can bypass all the guards and come to the mechanism, open the city gate, and sneak out while there is chaos. But what should Wei Chimu do?
"Maybe we should ring the doorbell?" When the girl in front of her looked at her with disdain, the cold sweaty Wei Chi Mu smiled and raised her index finger and said half-jokingly.
"Well, maybe you should also prepare some gold bars to bribe the guards. When Grana heard this, she suddenly gave Wei Chi Mu an angry look. "Without further ado, bring me the rope that the people gave you earlier. β
"Are you going to use this to climb up?" asked Yu Chimu suspiciously, putting the rope in the thief girl's hand, "but there should be guards on the city wall, and they will soon be discovered when they go up." β
"It's okay, I'll kill them all before then. After leaving this line that made Yu Chimu tremble, Grana threw the rope at the top of the circle on the top of the city, and climbed up as quickly as a monkey.
Torches were lit on the top of the city, and the lights were lit up. However, there were not many soldiers patrolling back and forth. Grana swooped down as soon as she climbed the top of the city, carefully observing her surroundings, but two soldiers on patrol happened to approach. Immediately he found the rope that was attached to the city.
Sighing unlucky, Grana hurriedly circled behind the two of them, and before they realized that someone was trying to climb over the wall and start shouting to warn the others, she slammed her fist into their necks, causing the pair to fall to the ground in unison.
Grana took off the rifles of the two of them, and then leaned out and motioned for Yu Chi Mu to climb up, the young general also had level 3 strength. It didn't take much effort to get to the top of the city. Looking at the two soldiers who fell to the ground, he was shocked and said, "You really killed them?"
"Please, I didn't have any weapons when I came up, I just knocked me out. Grana said as she recycled the rope, "Help me keep an eye on the surroundings." It's too early to be relieved, and the most important place is when you get out of the city. β
The girl's calmness and strong action deeply impressed Wei Chimu, and he decisively took a rifle to help Grana guard the nearby movements: "I understand. There should be an attacking force of the Ming Empire deployed outside Baoqing City, and it will be all over if they find it. But time is running out, can we make it?"
"It's okay if you can't make it. At least we can escape through the portal with some undisciplined Imperial Queen. Grana tied the rope to the head of the city and threw it out of the city, "Leave the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood." If the Ming Empire really dares to touch the tiger whiskers of the alliance, we will have to get this account back sooner or later!"
Yu Chimu nodded lightly.
The two were unnoticed as they slid down the rope wall, and soon left the flaming wall and hid in the darkness in the distance, groping their way through the woods by the roadside towards the camp.
Suddenly, Grana, who was walking in front, stretched out her hand to stop Yu Chimu, and she herself quickly crouched down, slowly moving her steps and looking ahead against a tree.
Yu Chimu squatted down like a girl, leaned into her ear and whispered, "What's the matter?"
The hot breath exhaled by the man made Grana's cheeks blush slightly, but unfortunately because the light was too dim, Yu Chimu couldn't see it: "No, nothing." Look at the not-so-bright fire outside, it should be the army of the Ming Empire, right?"
In the end, he was once a general who commanded the elite of the Ming army, and Wei Chimu recognized it according to the outline at a glance: "It's an artillery unit." Setting up positions in such a place, are they going to shell our camp?"
"No, even if Alicia prepared countermeasures, she would never have thought that the Ming Empire would launch such a large-scale attack, and if it was really shelled, the losses would definitely be very heavy!" Grana bit the nail of her thumb fiercely and said in a deep voice, "These iron guys must be served before then." β
"Are you crazy?" Wei Chi Mu couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, "Don't you see that there are still gun-wielding soldiers in charge of guarding artillery and artillery nearby, if you rush over, you are just committing suicide!"
"Do you have any good ideas? Don't tell me to leave it alone or not, believe it or not I'm going to punch you to death?"
There are really fewer and fewer girls with gentle personalities these years. In order to avoid turning into panda eyes, Wei Chimu, who was in tears, had to use his brain hard and said, "You wait for a while, let me think about it carefully." With that, you can sneak over and detonate the cannonball. These dangerous items are kept in the position until the actual battle begins, and even you will not be able to find the loopholes, but your chance will come when the soldiers will carry them to the vicinity of each gun before the battle begins. β
Grana nodded in understanding, "Haode, I see." You wait here, I'll go and go back. β
This is a very dangerous thing, and if you are not careful, you will get a bento on the spot. Even so, the expression on Granna's face did not waver at all, she just lightly put the rifle in the way, and after hiding her figure, she touched the heavily defended Ming army position with her bare hands.
Wei Chimu couldn't do anything, he could only pray silently for the girl in the woods.
Just when countless crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded in Baoqing City behind him, a large number of dazzling red flames suddenly burst out from the Ming army's position, soaring into the sky! (To be continued......
