The moon and stars are sparse, and the north wind is howling.
After galloping for several hours, Yin Kuang and the others finally arrived outside Chaisang City at the ugly hour.
Looking up in the hidden woods, I saw countless torches moving back and forth on the majestic Chaisang City wall, and blazing flames were lit on the arrow tower. These flames illuminated the city walls and under the city wall. A large area is as bright as day. On the city wall, between the concave and convex gaps, a series of city defense giant crossbows have been deployed, just waiting for someone who overestimates their capabilities to come to the door. Under the city wall is a wide moat. The water of this moat is directly introduced from the Yangtze River, and the water is quite turbulent. And there are many ferocious crocodiles in this moat.
Bai Lu shrank his neck and said: "I didn't feel much when I came out during the day. Looking at it now, I didn't expect that Chaisang City was so well-defended. Ha, fortunately we were prepared." As he said that, Bai Lu took out a " "Bamboo Dragonfly" and said: "I was still heartbroken when I redeemed this thing." Yin Kuang shook his head and said: "Don't expect the 'Bamboo Dragonfly'. Have you forgotten that some props are forbidden to be used?" Bai Lu listened. , his hands trembled, and his face became bitter, "Isn't it?"
Bai Lu didn't believe it, so he put the flying bamboo dragonfly on his head and said, "Fly!"
As expected, Yin Kuang remained motionless. Bai Lu said with a mournful face, "This principal is so cheating!" Tang Rouyu smiled and said, "The principal is guarding against opportunistic people like you. Don't you usually take stealth and concealment classes? You can use it now! Also! There is..." Tang Rouyu took out a porcelain bottle and said: "Sprinkle these powders on your body, and the crocodiles in the moat will not dare to approach. But you can only hold on for five minutes."
"Eh? There is such a good thing? Miss Tang, how many kinds of poisons do you have on your body?" Bai Lu took the porcelain bottle and sniffed it, "Stink!" Tang Rou said: "You think I am like you, so everything is fine. Just taking a walk? If you want to kidnap Xiao Qiao, you have to think carefully. I also studied the crocodiles in the moat. I specially mixed these powders with some fishermen. Don't be disgusted, and hurry up. "
The four people quickly sprinkled the fishy and rotten powder on their bodies, then ducked into the moat and dived quickly. Although the water in the river was biting, everyone's patience was extraordinary and they swam forward quickly. In high school, the survival class will specifically teach swimming and diving, so the four people's swimming skills are also very good.
The number of crocodiles underwater really scared the four of them. As they moved forward, everyone looked around and saw that the water was densely covered with crocodiles. Each crocodile was twice as big as an ordinary crocodile. Just looking at it made people's scalp numb.
At first, when the four of them got into the water, the crocodiles around them rushed toward them ferociously, which really shocked the four of them. Especially Qian Qianqian, who had held back a mouthful of oxygen and spit it out in an instant. Fortunately, Yin Kuang reacted quickly and covered her mouth tightly, then took out a small oxygen supplier and put it on her mouth. The crocodiles that rushed towards them all turned around and swam away when they were five meters away from Yin Kuang and others. It was obviously Tang Rouyu's powder that had an effect.
However, as time goes by, the effect of the powder also weakens. At first, the crocodile could only get closer to five meters, then to four meters, then three meters, and this distance was also shortening rapidly. Even in the water, cold sweat could not help but break out on the foreheads of the four of them. Yin Kuang thought for a while, then simply took out a pistol and shot a crocodile not far away, and then shot a crocodile on the other side. Now, the crocodiles who smelled the blood became even more confused. They rushed towards the two seriously injured crocodiles one by one, drowning them in an instant. But Yin Kuang and the other four were ignored.
Finally, the four of them climbed ashore without any danger. But they didn't have extra time to rest. As soon as they landed, they rushed under the wall and breathed a little sigh of relief.
"Just now, I was really scared to death." Bai Lu said: "I almost became the food of the crocodile. These Soochow people are also idle. What are they doing raising crocodiles?" Yin Kuang raised his head and checked the movement on the city wall. , said: "Never mind it. Let's hurry up. It's almost time to change defenses, and we only have less than three minutes. By the way, change the wet clothes, otherwise there will be traces."
"Oh?" Bai Lu looked at Tang Rouyu and Qian Qianqian with stern eyebrows. Tang Rouyu sneered, "Watch your eyes, or I will throw you to feed the crocodiles!" Bai Lu smiled coquettishly and said, "Look, you have misled me, haven't you? Am I such a person?"
Then, the two men and two women quickly changed into clean night clothes back to back, then each took out their wall-climbing tools and climbed towards the top of the city. And just when the four of them were about to reach the top of the wall, they heard a rough voice coming from the wall, "Okay! It's time to change defenses! Everyone, go back and take time to eat and rest. Come back in time to change defenses!"
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers on the wall responded, and then the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
Then, Yin Kuang would feel someone supporting the female wall, but Yin Kuang did not dare to raise his head, and also signaled to others not to raise their heads. In this way, the four of them were like shadows, sticking tightly to the wall, motionless. This is used to reduce one's sense of existence. At the same time, I secretly prayed that the person's perception was not strong.
"Alas! I don't know how to fight this battle!" The man sighed and then became silent, followed by the sound of the metal of armor clashing and the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing.
"Let's go!" Yin Kuang shouted in a low voice, and the four of them turned over and jumped onto the wall, hiding in the shadow of a city defense equipment. At this time, the footsteps of the soldiers changing defense were getting closer and closer. Upon seeing this, Tang Rouyu immediately made a move, and then a row of torches suddenly went out, and a dim gap appeared on the bright city wall. Then, the four people immediately walked through the darkness, jumped directly off the city wall, and then used hooks and tools to slowly fall down. In this way, we successfully entered the inner city.
"There is no danger." Hiding in the shadow of a big tree, Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If the defense of a city is so tight, then Zhou Yu's mansion is not impregnable? This mission, It costs lives!" Yin Kuang said: "So it's impossible for us to do it alone. We have to borrow help from outside." Bai Lu said: "By the way, asking Zhuge Liang to help me rob Xiao Qiao is probably only Yin Kuang's idea. You can figure it out. Speaking of which, Yin Kuang, I still can’t figure out why Zhuge Liang wants to help us.”
"Because of Xiao Qiao," Yin Kuang said, "and Xiao Qiao is pregnant!"
Bai Lu, Tang Rouyu, and Qian Qianqian looked at each other in confusion.
"Zhuge Liang used Xiao Qiao to almost plot against Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao. Xiao Qiao is kind-hearted and has a heart for Jiangdong. He is bound to stop Cao Cao's offensive in every possible way. Never doubt the power of a beautiful woman! And Sun Quan, Zhou Yu , and Jiangdong, must be united because of Xiao Qiao's robbery, and the Sun-Liu alliance will be more consolidated. I even suspect that the Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang fights in the novel will not appear. And in the end, the Sun and Cao families fight back and forth. , Liu Bei, the fisherman, will benefit more. If Xiao Qiao really falls into Liu Bei's hands in the end... Liu Bei will be more confident to win Jingzhou. Don't doubt which one is more valuable, Xiao Qiao or Jingzhou. Beauty and country, many people They all seem to be looking for beauties.”
"What if Sun Quan refuses?" Bai Lu asked.
"That's better. At that time, the monarchs and ministers in Jiangdong were at odds, and Zhou Yu had high prestige in Jiangdong and had military power. What do you think will happen? Jiangdong is bound to be in chaos. So, what Zhuge Liang has to do is just to make a little effort. Leave Xiao Qiao to us. And what he will gain is endless benefits. Even if this method is shady."
After hearing this, Qian Qianqian couldn't help but said: "Yin Kuang, if I really follow what you said, then Zhuge Liang is really powerful."
Bai Lu said: "Then Yin Kuang, didn't we suffer a loss?"
Yin Kuang sneered, "Loss? Survival is important! Moreover, if I think well, when the matter is over, Zhuge Liang will definitely find a way to kill us... So, taking away Xiao Qiao this time is an opportunity! It is a huge opportunity ! It’s our only chance... to reverse the decline.”
Bai Lu and others nodded.
"In addition, we still need to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Zhu Tong and those people... Forget it, we will talk about this later. Let's quickly go to the place we found in advance to hide, have a good rest for a day, recuperate, and cope with all changes. But, not We know who Zhuge Liang will contact us."
After Yin Kuang finished speaking, the four of them followed the shadows between the houses, avoiding the soldiers patrolling the city, and headed towards the predetermined place.
And just a moment after Yin Kuang and others left, a slender figure appeared under the tree where Yin Kuang and others were staying just now. He looked at the place where Yin Kuang and others disappeared, and murmured: "Sir, you are right. .This person must die!"
Under the wooden mask, a pair of bright eyes flashed with a cold light.
