Chapter 1305: Lou Xiao's Envoy (II)
"My lord, this is the safest thing. Wei Si forcibly explained, "Camping in the suburbs can effectively prevent unknown people from approaching, and having rebel soldiers and soldiers can prevent other troops from misunderstanding, and it is extremely difficult for killers to get close to you." ”
There is indeed some truth in saying this, the camp is full of people they brought, and there are people from the 111th Division outside, unlike the complex environment in the city, where there are too many uncontrolled people around, and it is better in terms of security.
Now Lou Xiao sees safety as more important than anything else, so he reluctantly accepts Wei Si's explanation.
There were supplies from the city, and several large tents were quickly erected on the outskirts, surrounded by wooden fences, and the Nanjing city mission set up camps.
The squadron of the 111 mission patrolled outside the camp in several shifts, under the pretext of protecting the safety of the mission, but in fact, it was ordered by Long Shuang to monitor the mission and prevent the 1,000 cavalry from sneaking up on Zhenyuan City.
The largest tent in the middle of the camp is surrounded by a squadron of soldiers, and anyone who enters and exits must have Lou Xiaofa's token, otherwise they will be regarded as spies and can be killed on the spot. Wei Si came up with this idea, and he had to be careful again and again for the sake of his own political future.
"My lord, go out on patrol and make sure you are safe. The fat man asked Lou Xiao for his life, took the token and walked out of the big tent.
As he went out, he glanced at the two guards on the left and right, confirmed that they were members of the cavalry brigade, and then led two of his men to inspect the camp.
Of course, Wei Si would not follow alone, so he specially transferred a group of escorts to accompany him, and the security outside the tent was handed over to the cavalry, and there were people lurking around Lou Xiao in the tent to protect him. Only his people know about this matter, even Lou Xiao doesn't know it.
The Espionage Department has a killer hall and a guard hall, both of which belong to secret departments, and they are rarely seen in front of people, and they only appear when they are in action.
The camp of 1,000 people is not big, and when there are conditions, it should be relaxed, just like the open space outside Zhenyuan City that occupies the size of four or five football fields, Wei Si walked more than 200 meters before coming to the front camp.
The envoy regiment is not a combat formation, and the horse shed is in the front camp, which is conducive to travel, which is a bit different from the horse shed in the rear camp in the state of war.
The fat man pretended to be Wei Si was the adjutant of the mission, who was personally appointed by Lou Xiao and had the right to supervise everyone in the mission except Lou Xiao.
"Assemble the horsemen!" he ordered as he came to the stable.
Horses are the most important thing in safety, and in case of a crisis, you can escape faster, and if there is a problem with the horse, it will definitely affect the safety.
Two teams of soldiers ran out, "Report! All members of the third squadron and four squads are here!" "Report! All the three squadrons and five squads, uh, one person is missing?"
Wei Si didn't expect that something would go wrong at the first stop of the patrol, so he hurriedly asked, "Who is missing?"
The fifth squad leader immediately replied: "If you go back to the deputy envoy, Zhao Tietou may have gone to the thatched house, and he will go to him immediately." ”
"Go!" the fat man felt uneasy.
Horses need to rest at night, leaving two squads to take care of is to prevent accidents, it is not uncommon for someone to be lazy off the post, but this is the first night to camp in a hostile area, and this is not the time to be lazy.
A subordinate of the spy department followed the fifth squad leader to find someone, and after a while, ran back to report: "My lord, I didn't find it, the squad leader went to the camp to find it." ”
"Which squadron is guarding Lord Lou tonight?" the fat man asked urgently.
The subordinate replied: "Fourth squadron." ”
"Go to the camp of the fourth squadron and have a look. A figure flashed in Wei Si's mind.
He remembered Zhao Tietou's appearance, he was very tall, similar to a guard at the door of the Chinese military tent, but the appearance of the two people was completely different.
While recalling the details, he hurried to the middle camp, and his steps became faster and faster.
Everyone in the camp was brought from Nanjing City, and the cavalry brigade was picked by Wei Shiwen one by one, so it stands to reason that there will be no problem.
He kept comforting himself, hoping that he was nervous, but his heart became more and more nervous: if there was a problem with the people in the mission, Ding Kui might not be able to think of it!
"That's the camp of the 4th Squadron over there. One of his men pointed into the distance.
Wei Si's heart and liver raised his throat, that place was separated from the front camp wall, and the opposite side seemed to be the camp of the third squadron.
"Quick!" he ran, two of his men hurrying to follow.
A few take-offs and landings crossed a distance of tens of meters, and he showed the speed of a fifth-level combat power.
Being able to guard key criminals in the heavenly prison, Wei Si's skills are naturally not bad, he is a late slashing warrior, and he can suppress the sixth-level combat power with prohibitions on his body.
The fourth squadron was surrounding the big tent of the Chinese army, there was no one in the camp, Wei Si picked up a torch from the brazier, waved a palm with his left hand, split the door of the camp tent with the palm wind, and then rushed into the camp tent quickly.
There was no light in the tent, it was dark, and the torches shone brightly, and he glanced at it, but there was no one, and then rushed to the next tent.
It is impossible for a hundred people to be crammed into a camp tent, and the fourth squadron has five tents, and when Wei Si came to the third tent, he found that there were people on the cover of a marching bunk.
He rushed forward and lifted the cover, revealing a man naked, with his hands and feet tied, and a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth.
"It's you!" he recognized at a glance the unconscious man under the cover, who looked exactly like the guard at the door of the Chinese tent.
"It's really easy to be too good!" he immediately confirmed, recalling some details.
At this time, two of his men also arrived, and he turned back and ordered: "Don't make a noise! ”
With that, he dropped the torch, stepped on it a few times, and plunged into the darkness with a whoosh.
It is already obvious that Zhao Tietou, who left the post of the third squadron, was a spy, and somehow stunned the people of the fourth squadron, and then pretended to be someone else and blended into the squadron that protected Lou Xiao.
This person's purpose must be to murder Lou Xiao, and it's tonight!
Wei Si sneaked all the way back to the Chinese army's big tent.
He had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the spy had not yet made a move, and was still guarding the door, for fear that he would rush back and stimulate the spy, and the spy would definitely be eager to do it.
Unfortunately, before he could run back, shouts came from the Chinese military tent, "Assassin!" "There are assassins!"
Wei Si's heart sank, and he couldn't continue to sneak around, and rushed to the Zhongjun tent in a straight line.
"I hope the Dark Guard can stop the killer!" he had only one thought.
There is still a secret guard hidden by Lou Xiao's side, but the strength of that secret guard is limited, and it is vulnerable when it encounters a master.
"Ahh
A layer of fine sweat came out of Wei Si's forehead, and at this time he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to step into the Zhongjun tent in one step.
Fifty meters, twenty meters.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Ahh
Three screams rang out in quick succession.
"It's not Lord Lou's voice. Wei Si's mind was a little settled.
From the first one to the next three sounds, it was not Lou Xiao who shouted, so he could naturally distinguish it.
Whoosh, a figure suddenly rushed out of the tent.
