Three days later, at night, the border of Miao Jiang.

Turning over a hillside and looking at the brightly lit army camp of Fort Duzun not far away, Richard squinted his eyes like a ghost silently heading down the mountain. He was very fast, and in a short time he came to the foot of the mountain and burrowed into the jungle outside the barracks.

There are many patrolling squads in the jungle, and there are dozens of teams of three or five people, and Richard takes advantage of the dim environment in the jungle to avoid one patrol team after another, constantly shuttling through the jungle, looking for the signs of the Yin Sect.

Half an hour later, Richard stopped under a tree in the corner of the jungle, and saw a lifelike flower painted on the ground under the tree, and there were many messy lines on the petals.

"Found it!"

Richard was overjoyed in his heart, squatted down and carefully observed the lines on the petals, and after a while, he frowned deeply, according to the interpretation method taught to him by Zhu Yuyan, the direction represented by these lines turned out to be here!

Glancing left and right, it was pitch black and no one was visible. After thinking for a moment, Richard decided to believe the code, jumped up the tree, hid in the tree and waited.

After a quarter of an hour, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from the darkness, and then I saw four figures walking towards the tree, and the leader was none other than the Yin Sect member who led the way for Richard and Wanwan when they entered Miao Jiang!

Walking under the tree, the four stopped. The Yin Sect members glanced left and right vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one, they squatted down and looked at the code on the ground, sighed and said: "The Holy Maiden asked us to pick up Simon Shaoxia, and I don't know if the others have arrived, and if so, have they found this code..."

"This is the last patrol of the night, and it looks like it's going to be out of action tonight."

He said as he reached out and wiped the code from the ground. As soon as he straightened up, he saw a figure falling from the sky, and he was startled, "Who! ”

"It's me." Richard hurriedly said, making a silent gesture.

Only then did the Yin Sect Sect and the other three see Richard's face clearly, and he breathed a sigh of relief and cried and laughed: "Ximen Shaoxia, you... Why are you hiding in a tree? ”

"You made me wait where I was, so I just had to hide in a tree." Richard shrugged his shoulders and said with a solemn face: "Did I ask Wanwan to let you check everything?" ”

"Don't worry, it's all clear."

The Yin Sect Sect member said with a smile, turning around and letting one of them take off the light armor on his body, handing the light armor to Richard and saying, "The time for patrol is coming, I will take you in with Ximen Shaoxia first, and I will talk to you about other things in detail." ”

Richard nodded, took the light armor and immediately put it on. The four of them then turned around and walked towards the barracks, and when they came to the gate, they saw that the soldiers who were guarding the night were no longer the members of the Yin Sect who had been the last time.

The number of patrols in each squad was registered, and after verifying the identity and number of the Yin Sect members who led the group, the soldiers let the four of them into the garrison.

Richard followed the Yin Sect all the way through the garrison, eventually coming to a military camp. When I lifted the curtain and walked in, I saw that there was no one in the barracks.

The Yin Sect Sect member said, "Ximen Shaoxia, wait a minute, I'll call the person in charge of this matter to come and tell you." ”

With that, he turned and walked out of the barracks. After two quarters of an hour, he walked back with a person, only to see that this was a young man with a somewhat gloomy face, and when he saw Richard, he respectfully bent down and hugged his fists and said, "Little man Ma Long, meet Ximen Shaoxia." ”

The Yin Sect member introduced on the side: "Ma Long is in charge of patrolling the station, and he is in charge of investigating the location of the cannons and gunpowder explained by the Holy Maiden. ”

Richard nodded, looked at Malone and said, "Then how did you investigate?" ”

Ma Long hugged his fists and said: "Ximen Shaoxia, don't worry, I have figured out the location of the cannon and gunpowder." There's still a patrol in the garrison at daybreak, and you'll see it if you come with me. ”

Richard snorted, didn't ask more, and waited silently in the barracks for dawn. After more than two hours, Ma Long walked to the door of the barracks, lifted the curtain and looked out, turned to Richard and said, "Ximen Shaoxia, it's dawn, it's time for us to go." ”

Richard immediately stood up and followed Malone out of the barracks. After arriving at another barracks and receiving weapons from the quartermaster, the two of them immediately patrolled the garrison.

Following behind Ma Long, Richard kept looking at both sides, silently noting the distribution of the military camps on both sides of the station in his mind, and a map of the station gradually took shape in his mind.

In addition to observing the distribution of the station, Richard also noticed that only he and Malone appeared to be patrolling with two people, and the other patrol teams were at least eight people, and most of them were twenty-four, marching in formation.

He couldn't help but say, "Ma Long, there are just two of us, won't it be too attention-grabbing?" ”

Ma Long smiled and said: "Ximen Shaoxia, please rest assured, we are different from him, we are called a wandering sentinel, which means a wandering sentinel." The sentinels in this station are all one or two people who act together, and the more people there are, the more people will attract attention. ”

As he spoke, he took out a copper token from his arms, only to see that the token was engraved with a wandering character, and Richard nodded when he saw this, and he was not suspicious in his heart.

Following Ma Long all the way to a corner of the station, Ma Long suddenly slowed down, pointed to several military camps in front of him and said, "Ximen Shaoxia, these military camps are where cannons and gunpowder are stored. ”

Richard looked forward and saw that these barracks were not much different from other barracks, and even the entrance to the barracks was the same as other barracks, with only one soldier guarding them.

If it weren't for Malone to say, Richard really wouldn't have thought that this barracks would be a place to store cannon gunpowder.

Richard whispered to Malone, "Can you go in and have a look?" ”

Ma Long looked embarrassed and said: "It's a little difficult, anyone who approaches these barracks will be immediately scolded by the soldiers in front of the door." But if Simon wants to see it, I can buy you some time. ”

As he spoke, Ma Longmao walked briskly towards a military camp. When he walked to the front of the barracks, he deliberately fell to the ground, pretending to be in pain.

"Ouch, help, help me, it hurts me!"

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" The soldiers in front of the barracks saw Marlon and asked loudly. Seeing that Ma Long didn't answer, he couldn't help but walk towards Ma Long.

Richard took advantage of this opportunity, Ling Bo instantly launched a slight step towards the barracks, came to the barracks and lifted the curtain to look inside, only to see that there were round barrels one after another, and there was some black powder on the ground next to some barrels.

Each barrel was covered with a thick layer of fireproof felt, and there were many black iron balls in the corner, which looked like empty cannonballs.

"I didn't expect it to be gunpowder." Richard muttered in some surprise that it was common sense to deduce that such important things as cannons and gunpowder should be taken seriously, but Fort Duzun did the opposite, deliberately making it the same as any other barracks.

The advantage of this is obvious, that is, the cannons and gunpowder are perfectly hidden in the garrison, and no one knows which barracks they are in. If it weren't for Malone finding out the information, he would have looked for the barracks one by one, and I don't know when to find it!

The soldier's voice came from behind him at this time, "I fell and looked at you like you were going to live or die, it's really embarrassing that you are still a soldier of our exclusive fort." Okay, you can go back by yourself, isn't it a delay? ”

Richard was shocked, and immediately left the barracks with Ling Bo in small steps.
