Lin Jue was in a cold sweat beside him, and sure enough, all this was Zuo Zongdao's handiwork.

Ruan Ping smiled awkwardly and responded: "Good idea, good idea, admire and admire!" ”

Qian Leopard laughed, the laughter stopped, and Qian Leopard said: "By the way, when you arrive at the vice village, I will take you to the barracks to rest first." Then I will go and report to the lord of the village, and listen to the order of the lord of the village, if he wants to see you, I will come and call you. ”

Ruan Ping frowned and said, "What? Didn't the owner of your village say that he was waiting for us? ”

Qian Leopard said: "You can see me if you want to see the owner of the big village?" Do you wait for you to come without doing anything? In the past few days, the wife of the owner of my village has been sick, and the owner of the village has been accompanying her to take care of her at all times. Don't worry, it's already here anyway, and it's not a matter of worrying when to see the lord of the village. Let's go, I'll take you to the barracks and make some barracks for you to settle down in. ”

Ruan Ping glanced at Lin Jue and Gao Muqing, and Lin Jue nodded slightly. If you come to it, you will be safe, and there is no need to worry. Besides, it is also good to have some time as a buffer, so you can familiarize yourself with the terrain and discuss countermeasures, so that you will not be panicked.

The next cadre followed Qian Leopard to the mountain bandit station on the west side of the sub-village. The terrain is open, and rows of bluestone houses have been built along the western slope of the hill, stretching down from the top to the length of a mile. In the middle of the huge rectangular school yard, there is a stone platform made of stones, like a pillar standing in the middle, which is the inspection platform for the inspection of the school soldiers and horses. There are more than a dozen arrow towers scattered around the area for guarding. This scene naturally aroused Lin Jue's admiration in his heart. Zuo Zongdao really had some retribution, and it can be seen from the layout of the camp that he attaches great importance to the training of soldiers and horses. However, such a large school field, when it can accommodate tens of thousands of troops, his cottage can only support more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, standing on that high platform to inspect the soldiers and horses, I don't know if he will feel a little shabby.

Qian Bao settled the more than 500 people brought by Ruan Ping and Lin Jue in twenty barracks in the middle of the camp. Don't look at Qian Leopard's rough appearance, but this move is obviously intentional. The residence of these 500 people was surrounded by mountain bandits and horses on the front and back, left and right, so to speak. No matter what he moves, he can't escape the eyes of the surrounding bandits, which can be said to be quite scheming.

"Lord Ruanzhai, if you settle down here, if you have any needs, you can ask the camp inspectors, such as eating, drinking,, sleeping, boiling some herbs to cure diseases, etc., you can solve it. But remember, don't move around. Especially at night, after the second watch, the cottage implements a night ban, except for the patrol soldiers and horses on duty, no one can walk around. Otherwise, if an arrow comes down from the arrow tower and kills someone, it will be difficult to say. If you have any requirements, you can send someone to tell me that I can help, and I will help. Qian Leopard solemnly admonished before leaving.

Ruan Ping hurriedly nodded yes and sent Qian Leopard away, Ruan Ping entered a barracks with Lin Jue and Gao Muqing with a gloomy face. This is a living room prepared for Ruan Ping alone, and it is also the place where the three of them have a secret discussion at this moment.

"What to do? According to this situation, the soldiers and horses can't enter the above Dazhai, after the move, how to notify the brothers here to do it? If we can't answer in time, I'm afraid we will all die in the big village above. And we are surrounded in the center of the camp at the moment, and once the incident starts, we will be surrounded by them in an instant, and I am afraid that none of us will survive. Ruan Ping whispered worriedly.

Lin Jue thought quietly for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I'm worried about this, we have a fireworks signal, and we can use fireworks as a notification." It is not difficult to break out of the camp, after all, we have the initiative, and they have no time to contain it when the incident suddenly happens. I'm worried about something else. ”

"What else?" Ruan Ping asked.

"I'm worried about whether our soldiers and horses will be able to climb this long stone staircase with such terrain. In this pattern, there must be an arrow tower above to block it. On both sides of the gate of the cottage are actually corner towers, and we didn't look closely at the wall, but according to my estimate, there must be people on the wall who can shoot arrows. Therefore, in the process of rushing up the stone steps, at least more than half of the people will die. ”

Ruan Ping frowned and nodded slowly. People with a little military knowledge understand that there must be guarded manpower above the wide stone steps that connect the main village and the sub-village, and Lin Jue's concern should be true.

"The second worry is whether Zuo Zongdao will come out to see us in person. If he sends his men to sign a contract with you because the lord of Bao Dazhai did not come in person, then we won't even be able to see them in person, and this is the most troublesome. I don't know where to start. If I can do it, I don't worry about the rest of the story. As soon as Zuo Zongdao died, they were in chaos. Lin Jue groaned.

"No, didn't that Qian Leopard say just now, Zuo Zongdao has actually been waiting for us. But he waited for a long time, so he went to take care of his wife. Let's come all the way from afar, and he won't see us. Besides, I also brought a handwritten letter from the owner of Bao Dazhai, and I can ask to submit it in person. Ruan Ping said softly.

Lin Jue sighed lightly: "I hope it, I hope everything goes well." There is also the hope that Zuo Zongdao will summon us tonight. It's more convenient to do it at night. It's easier to create chaos at night. ”

Ruan Ping said: "Shouldn't we figure out how to do it?" I guess we won't be able to carry our blades with us, and at most we will be able to use the short daggers hidden on our bodies. When the time comes, I will do it, and you will block the others for me, and you can't let the others protect him. ”

Lin Jue nodded and praised: "Lord Ruan Zhai is a character, he knows the difficulties and does not retreat, and he is a talent." However, as long as I see Zuo Zongdao, I don't need Ruan Zhai to take the initiative to do it, I will do it myself. ”

Ruan Ping was stunned: "You? Are you sure? Zuo Zongdao has martial arts, can you succeed? ”

Lin Jue smiled and didn't answer. Gao Muqing on the side said softly: "Lord Ruan Zhai, don't worry, as long as you can see Zuo Zongdao, the matter will be handed over to us." We have the means. ”

Ruan Ping was still a little unconvinced, Lin Jue didn't take out the Wang Ba box on his waist and showed it to him, so he only said to Gao Muqing: "The master of Dazhai showed his hand to the master of Ruan Zhai." ”

Gao Muqing smiled, raised his hand, a silver light shot out, and the three daggers on the wooden cabinet door were neatly arranged in a row, and they were submerged into the pine cabinet door until there was no handle.

"Awesome!" Ruan Binh praised. Throwing knives is nothing, three salvos require some skills, three salvos can be evenly spaced, lined up, and the strength is still so sufficient, that is a superb skill. Nguyen Binh thought to himself that he couldn't do this.

"Much better than me, okay, I'll leave it to you. I'm in charge of blocking the others, and if I miss, I have time to hunt them down. Ruan Ping said.

Lin Jue smiled: "Don't worry, killing him is exactly the part that you don't have to worry about." Lord Ruan Zhai, I think we have pressed our hearts into our stomachs since we came, and we will adapt to the situation. It's useless to think about it now. Let's have a good rest and rest, recharge our energy and prepare for big things. Didn't we all come with the heart of death? But now you're nervous? It shouldn't be. ”

Ruan Ping smiled and said: "I admire this point of Master Fang, a weak person like a military advisor has such courage, it is really respectable." You're right, it's nothing more than death, and instead of worrying about your life, it's better to rest and recharge. ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Lord Ruan Zhai praises falsely, Lord Ruan Zhai is also a character, let's go back to the camp to rest." ”

Lin Jue and Gao Muqing said goodbye and came to a stone house next door. The two of them ate some dry food, leaned side by side on the couch and said a few words, because they were so tired that after a while they both fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Jue felt someone push on his shoulder, and he hurriedly opened his eyes. But seeing that it was dark in front of him, a dark shadow stood under the bed and called out in a low voice, "Husband, wake up." ”

Lin Jue hurriedly stayed at the house, looked at the sky outside and said, "It's dark, we are really asleep." ”

Gao Muqing said in a low voice: "Yes, it has just gotten dark, and you are still snoring when you sleep, I don't dare to sleep." I heard the movement just now, and it seemed that the Qian Leopard was coming, in the house of the owner of Ruan Zhai next door. ”

Lin Jue's spirits perked up and said, "He's here, is it because Zuo Zongdao is going to see us?" ”

Gao Muqing shook his head and said, "I don't know." Let's take a look. ”

Lin Jue nodded, and the two of them walked out of the house one after the other, and suddenly the lantern in front of the door shook, only to hear Ruan Ping's voice sound: "Brother Fang, Brother Gao, can you be in the room?" We've got to meet people. Zuo Dazhai is going to see us. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "It's here, that's great." Finally, the owner of Zuo Dazhai is free. ”

Qian Leopard's laughing voice came: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, my big village master is invited!" ”

Lin Jue and Gao Muqing stepped forward to meet Qian Bao Ruan and Ping, and more than a dozen mountain bandits carried lanterns and lit them up.

"Let's go, several." Qian Leopard said.

Lin Jue said: "Wait a while, I'll go and say hello to my brothers, lest they don't know that we are doing business, and they won't be able to find us running around and causing trouble." ”

"That's how it should be!" Qian Leopard said.

Lin Jue and Gao Muqing turned back, Gao Muqing went to the barracks to explain to the brothers he brought, and Lin Jue returned to his residence, took out the two Wang Ba boxes from his backpack, quickly loaded the two bags of ammunition, and then carefully tucked them around his waist. Tighten it with a leather belt attached to the middle coat inside the armor. Lin Jue was very worried about the safety of this thing, in case he touched the trigger, this thing went off fire on his body, and those legs. The thing that symbolizes the majesty of a man is about to be blown away. Even if he survives, he will still be a eunuch, so he has to be extra careful.

When Lin Jue returned to the house, Gao Muqing was already standing there, and Qian Bao was already waiting impatiently, and complained, "Why are you so rubbing? After a while, the owner of the village was afraid that he was going to curse. ”

Lin Jue confessed repeatedly, and Qian Leopard muttered a few words. Horse. The face of the knife did not bother with this deputy who had a bad impression of him, and led everyone to the east of the barracks. Although it was already dark, the high pole near the left side of the barracks was hung with wind lanterns last time. Several arrow towers are even brighter, and the figures on them are pupils. On the road between the barracks, patrolling mountain bandits staggered by from time to time. None of them seemed to bother, though.

Lin Jue felt a little strange, it was said that it was still very dim here, why did these people have to come to interrogate a few words, why did they turn a blind eye. After watching it for a long time, Lin Jue finally came to his senses. It turned out that whenever he encountered a group of patrolling mountain bandits, a person with a lantern in front brought by Qian Leopard always raised the lantern and shook it. And the mountain bandits patrolling on the opposite side seemed to do the same thing. If you don't look closely, you really can't see this subtle movement.

Lin Jue admired it very much, Zuo Zongdao is really quite a doorway, this cottage does not rely on passwords to answer at night like other cottages, but uses the subtle movements of lanterns to identify friend and foe. As you can imagine, the change of the password must be the change of the movement of these lanterns. Shake or draw a circle or move up and down twice, these can represent passwords. Every night, you only need to let the patrol and the main personnel know the movement, so you don't have to shout and ask, you ask and I answer.

The longer he stayed here, the more Lin Jue admired this Zuo Zongdao. This guy is really not an ordinary person.
