Because somewhere in the distance, a large group of vital signs have much stronger reactions and existence than ordinary people. They are concentrated in a few buildings along the street in such a compact manner, while the cold and sparse outer room can't see any slightest. The signs and strangeness; this couldn't help but make Zhou Huaian a little surprised and alert on the spot.
Immediately, under careful observation and discrimination in his senses, he found that there were no signs and traces outside; for example, the "passers-by" who always moved around frequently, and squatted lazily. The stalls under the wall didn't have any thoughts to sell, but they were always looking around for different hawkers. It was obviously the secret whistle and eyeliner placed outside.
"By the way, what is the archway two blocks away",
Looking back, Zhou Huaian couldn't help feeling dizzy and uncomfortable, and calmly asked the owner of the discounted medicine shop that had been requisitioned.
"If you go back to the army, that's the Zhengjiazhan and Huimingguan..."
The owner of the drugstore, a wrinkled old man, said cautiously.
"It was originally where the merchants stopped..."
"Is it possible that there are still merchants who cannot move in now..."
Zhou Huaian asked lightly.
"As far as the little old man knows, I'm afraid it's been closed for some days..."
The other party shook his head without thinking.
"Since the thief... After the rebels took control of the place, there was no decent business traveler here..."
Hearing this, Zhou Huaian had all thoughts and judgments in his heart; presumably after he and the sentry food team arrived in Shixiang Town, they were probably involved in a major local trouble, or a conspiracy that was hidden.
According to Zhou Huaian’s current knowledge, although most of the peasant army under Huang Chao hated the official family, wealthy and powerful households, and often broke the door, it seems that the upper-level business is the origin of private salt dealers. Xingjia, there is still an open side;
Therefore, in the course of the rebels, they can even get in touch with some rebels, and they can trade with them or continue to do business in the local area, and even make a way for the rebels to obtain consignment sales, which fully reflects a kind of The capital's advanced posture without camp and stand, thus forming a state of transient and temporary coexistence.
But the positions and motivations of these unidentified people who hide their heads and show their tails in the shops and business halls are really hard to say. Therefore, Zhou Huaian at this moment only wants to return to his station in the shortest possible time, so that he can be more at ease with what he can do about it.
"I can believe you not..."
Immediately he called the deputy senior officer of the team guarding outside to the side, and spoke word by word in a very serious voice.
"Deputy, what are you talking about?"
Lao Guan couldn't help but put away the rough and honest expression on his face, and said in some surprise.
"If you have anything, just greet me..."
"Then you are willing to believe that I don't..."
Zhou Huaian continued.
"But the deputy manager, please tell me..."
He finally put away the surprise and surprise on his face, and responded seriously.
"Then I need you to bring two more clever and eye-sighted people."
Zhou Huaian also sighed in his heart, and then said the corresponding requirements.
"Climb up to a high place, spy and observe the situation elsewhere for me..."
"The deputy said it was right..."
Afterwards, the heavy-faced Laoguan brought people back to join him, and then frowned and said to Zhou Huai'an in a low voice.
"I looked at that place several times carefully, and there was something wrong with it..."
"It's just that the people around Zhou are obviously a little suspicious, and they don't dare to get closer..."
"Planning" Zhou Huai'an called in his heart, so that he had the initial evidence and persuasive power as a witness.
"Then we will quickly turn around so that we can report to the team..."
After paying the owner of the drugstore a few bags of rice and a hang of dried meat as a reward, Zhou Huaian led everyone on the way back. Then, he deliberately avoided that place and circled the town again. Then, through a scan centered on himself, he once again found several places where a large number of active biological signals were gathered.
Almost all of them were abandoned homes or large shops in the town, which happened to occupy the five key positions in the east, west, north, south, and so on. As the saying goes, "frozen three feet is not a day's cold." It's just that these sentry food teams that I belonged to bumped in by accident, which led to a more complicated situation and situation.
Then, it seemed that the energy consumption of the body was a little higher, and the long-lost intense hunger grabbed his body again, and couldn't help taking out his own cake strips and dried preserves and swallowing it.
However, he had a little worry again. This time it was relatively easy to go back to alert and raise his alert; but the more troublesome thing was that after Deng Cun left, the remaining few lieutenants and deputy lieutenants who were responsible for leading the team. , It is not his status as a deputy battalion commander, who can command and move the tribe.
After all, there are a lot of people under his deputy battalion control, but the armed personnel who can directly obey orders are only a dozen people including the old prisoners. So there must be enough reasons and rhetoric to impress them and take the initiative to take some preventive measures.
However, after thinking about returning to the resident gate, which was still a leisurely atmosphere, Zhou Huaian found that most of the middle-level chiefs were not there, and in the end only one Lieutenant Lu who was responsible for leading the archer was left. I am staying in ** to cultivate my stomach because of eating.
"Where are the school lieutenants, vice lieutenant Tang and others"
He couldn't help asking a team member who was in charge of managing the guard in the yard.
"All are led by the local head Lin, please go to the city to drink..."
The team was arriving in a nonchalant tone.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back later..."
"By the way, the lieutenants have specifically confessed that the food and drink for the deputy manager has already been placed in the room."
Then he discovered that, with the exception of most of the new pawns who were undergoing simple management and training, many of the old pawns in the camp had gone out to find recreation and were scattered in the town.
"It's terrible..."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but face Old Guandao, who was also somewhat gloomy.
"Under extraordinary circumstances, I have to make some extraordinary moves."
"I hope you can help me one or two, at least not to be a hindrance to me"
In the name of counting the daily consumption, confess that the team who is in charge of standing guard on duty will summon the bosses and leaders who are still in the station.
Immediately, he appeared in front of the weak Lieutenant Lu who was lying on the corpse; this was a rather lean and black man, his face was sickly waxy yellow only because of diarrhea and collapse.
"Old Lu, I just say that now"
Zhou Huaian screamed unceremoniously.
"Do you want to die, still want to live"
"Monk, what do you mean..."
The other party was obviously struggling weakly.
"What is going crazy..."
"If I want to die, I will leave you here to fend for myself..."
Zhou Huaian directly put the scabbard in his hand on the opponent's chest
"If you want to live, get up and give orders, so that your people will move and prepare for the enemy..."
"We are afraid that there will be great troubles and wrongs..."
"You need to act decisively and work together to prepare..."
"what..."
At this moment, the expression of astonishment solidified on the opponent's face. Then, after gritted his teeth and strode in, Laoguan also stood behind Zhou Huaian, making a silent gesture of support and support.
After a while,
Lieutenant Lv, with a calm expression on his face, took the lead in convening the remaining bosses and leaders. After some unexpected doubts and controversies, with the help and suppression of more than a dozen soldiers at the scene, led by Lao Guan, he still reluctantly unified his opinions. Open the truck and arm the rest of the manpower.
He immediately decided to take advantage of the opportunity that most of the troops are in the garrison {although most of them are new pawns}, and temporarily separate two lines of capable personnel to act on their own to respond to the current situation.
All the way to the city gate to pick up the school lieutenants who had drunk in the past, so as to restore the basic combat power and order; here Zhou Huai'an also put a lot of effort into it, so all those who were sent out were the cronies and deaths of these leaders Loyal, I believe that even if they encounter any situation, they will not fail to work hard; and the follow-up processing on their own side is relatively easy to deal with.
On the other road, Zhou Huaian personally took the lead, leading a group of sword players, spears and archers from Laoguan to the nearest stronghold where armed men might be hidden, in an attempt to solve this nearby threat, and then start to stun snakes. Part of the situation is preemptively weakened.
In a sense, this was also the first battle of Zhou Huaian's first personal participation and limited dominance after he came to this world. (End of this chapter)
