"Sir, this is the safest way." Wei Si explained forcefully, "Camping in the countryside can effectively prevent unknown persons from approaching. The presence of rebel soldiers can prevent other troops from misunderstanding. It will be extremely difficult for killers to approach you."
There is some truth to this. All the people in the camp are brought by them, and there are people from the 111th Division outside. Unlike the complex environment in the city, where there are too many uncontrolled people around, the security is actually better.
Now Lou Xiao regards safety more than anything else, so he reluctantly accepts Wei Si's explanation.
After the city provided supplies, several large tents were quickly erected in the suburbs, surrounded by wooden fences, and the Nanjing delegation set up a campsite.
The squadron of the 111th Mission patrolled outside the camp in several groups, in the name of protecting the safety of the mission, but in fact they were ordered by Long Shuang to monitor the mission and prevent the thousand cavalry from sneaking into Zhenyuan City.
The largest tent in the middle of the camp was surrounded by a squadron of soldiers. Anyone entering or leaving must have a token from Lou Xiaofa, otherwise he would be regarded as a spy and be killed on the spot. This idea was thought up by Wei Si, who had no choice but to do it for the sake of his own political future.
No more caution.
"Sir, I'm going out on patrol to ensure your safety." The fat man asked Lou Xiao for orders, took the token and walked out of the tent.
When he went out, he glanced at the two guards on the left and right, confirmed that they were from the cavalry brigade, and then led two of his men to inspect the camp.
Of course, Wei Si would not come alone. He specially mobilized a group of escorts to accompany him. The security outside the tent was left to the cavalry. There were people lurking around Lou Xiao inside the tent for personal protection. Only his people knew about this matter, and even Lou Xiao did not
clear.
The Intelligence Department has a killer hall and a guard hall. Both halls are secret departments. They are rarely seen in public and only appear during operations.
A camp of 1,000 people is not big, but it should be relaxed if conditions permit. For example, there was an open space the size of four or five football fields outside Zhenyuan City. Wei Si walked more than 200 meters before arriving at the front camp.
The Envoy Regiment is not a combat organization, and the stables are located in the front camp, which is convenient for travel. It is a bit different from the stables located in the rear camp when the battle situation is approaching.
The fat man Wei Si pretended to be was the adjutant of the mission, who was personally appointed by Lou Xiao and had the authority to supervise everyone in the mission except Lou Xiao.
"Those who are looking after the horses must assemble!" he ordered as he came to the stable.
Horses are a priority for safety. Riding a horse can help you escape faster in a crisis situation. If something goes wrong with a horse, your safety will definitely be affected.
Click, click, two teams of soldiers ran out, "Report! All members of the third squadron and the fourth squad are here!" "Report! All the third squadron and the fifth squad are, uh, missing one person?"
Wei Si didn't expect that something would go wrong at the first stop of the tour, so he quickly asked: "Who is missing? Where are they going?"
The captain of the fifth team immediately replied: "As far as I can tell you, Deputy Ambassador, Zhao Tietou may have gone to the latrine. I will go find him right away."
"Go quickly!" Fatty felt uneasy in his heart.
The horses need to rest at night, so leaving two teams to take care of them is to prevent accidents. It is not unusual for someone to take off duty and be lazy, but this is the first night of camping in a hostile area, so this is not the time to choose to be lazy.
A subordinate from the Intelligence Department followed the fifth squad leader to find the person. After a while, he ran back and reported: "Sir, we didn't find him. The squad leader went to the camp to look for him."
"Which squadron is guarding Mr. Lou tonight?" the fat man asked anxiously.
The subordinate replied: "Fourth Squadron."
"Go and have a look at the Fourth Squadron's camp." A figure flashed in Wei Si's mind.
He remembered Zhao Tietou's appearance. He was very tall, similar to a guard at the entrance of the Chinese army's tent, but they looked completely different.
While recalling the details, he rushed to the central camp, his pace getting faster and faster.
Everyone in the camp was brought from Nanjing City, and Wei Shiwen selected the cavalry brigade one by one. Logically speaking, there would be no problems.
He kept comforting himself, hoping that he was neurotic, but he became increasingly nervous: If someone in the mission had a problem, Ding Kui might not be able to think of it!
"That's the camp of the Fourth Squadron over there." One of his subordinates pointed to the distance and said.
Wei Si's heart was in his throat. That area faced the front camp across the wall, and the opposite side seemed to be the camp of the Third Squadron.
"Quick!" He started running, and two of his men hurriedly followed.
He covered a distance of tens of meters in just a few ups and downs, showing the speed of a level five warrior.
Being able to guard important criminals in the sky prison, Wei Si's skills are naturally not bad. He is a late-stage general-killing warrior and can suppress sixth-level combatants with restraints on his body.
The Fourth Squadron was surrounding the Chinese army's tent. There was no one in the camp. Wei Si picked up a torch from the brazier, waved a palm with his left hand, split open the tent door with the wind of his palm, and then rushed into the tent quickly.
There were no lights in the camp, and it was pitch dark. Only when a torch shone was a little light came out. He glanced at it and saw that no one was there, and then rushed to the next tent.
It was impossible for a hundred people to squeeze into one tent. The fourth squadron had five tents. When Wei Si came to the third tent, he found something strange. There seemed to be someone on a marching blanket.
He rushed forward and opened the quilt, and there was a naked man hiding inside, with his hands and feet bound, and a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth.
"It's you!" He recognized the unconscious man under the quilt at a glance. He looked exactly like the guard at the entrance of the Chinese army's tent.
"It's really easy!" He recalled some details and immediately confirmed.
At this time, two of his subordinates also arrived. He turned around and ordered: "Don't make any noise! You pretend nothing has happened and slowly walk towards the front camp."
After saying that, he dropped the torch, stamped it out with his feet, and swooped into the darkness.
It was already obvious that Zhao Tietou, who was off duty in the 3rd Squadron, was a spy. He somehow knocked out the people in the 4th Squadron, and then pretended to be someone else and sneaked into the squadron protecting Lou Xiao.
This person’s purpose is to murder Lou Xiao, and it’s tonight!
Wei Si sneaked all the way back to the Chinese army's tent.
He had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the spy had not taken action yet and was still guarding the door, fearing that if he rushed back in the open and provoked the spy, the spy would definitely be impatient to take action.
Unfortunately, before he could run back, shouts came from the central military tent, "Assassin!" "There is an assassin!" "Come quickly!"
Wei Si's heart sank, he didn't care to continue sneaking, and rushed in a straight line towards the Chinese army tent.
"I hope the secret guard can stop the killer!" He only had one thought.
There is a secret guard hidden next to Lou Xiao, but the secret guard has limited strength and is vulnerable to an expert.
"Ah!" There was a scream, followed by angry shouts and the sound of weapons clashing.
A thin layer of sweat broke out from Wei Si's forehead. At this time, he was so anxious that he could not wait to step into the Chinese army tent in one step.
Fifty meters, twenty meters.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
Three screams were heard in succession.
"It's not Master Lou's voice." Wei Si calmed down for a moment.
From the first to the next three calls, none of them were shouted by Lou Xiao, so he could naturally distinguish them clearly.
