The darkness before dawn is the most relaxing and paralyzing.
The official road outside Weinan County has a wide view and is also the key area for guards on the city wall. However, the two sides are overgrown with weeds and the terrain is slightly uneven. Qin Huaidao uses the terrain cover to keep jumping forward, like a foraging cheetah and several rabbits.
The falcon fell and came to the corner of the city wall.
I looked up and observed for a moment. I saw that the guards on the city wall had stopped patrolling and were resting against the wall. Maybe they couldn't bear it after holding on for a night. They felt that it would be light soon and nothing would happen again, so they started to relax their vigilance.
Qin Huaidao took out two dog-leg knives from his back. In this era of frequent assassinations, Qin Huaidao did not dare to be careless. He always hid his weapons just in case.
The gap goes in, and it is extremely stable.
The city wall is not high and is still a bit old. The bricks have fallen off in many places. Qin Huaidao used two knives to move upwards alternately. He stepped on the gaps in the bricks to use his strength and quickly climbed to the wall stack. He carefully looked around and saw that the guards around him were freezing.
Stomping their feet, they slowly walked away, and some started to descend the city wall.
Qin Huaidao turned over dexterously, hiding in the shadow of the city wall and watching carefully. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he swooped towards the opposite side, turned over, and jumped directly down. He stretched his arms and retracted his feet, like a big bird flying down.
, this posture can reduce the falling speed and impulse to a certain extent.
The city wall was only a dozen meters high. After Qin Huaidao landed, he rolled on one side to relieve his strength. He lay on the ground and looked around carefully. There were guards not far away, but nothing unusual was found. He was talking in a low voice, stamping his feet and yawning.
, cursing and mumbling something.
The next moment, Qin Huaidao jumped away, rushed forward, took a few steps to a corner, and used the cover of shadows to sneak all the way. Qin Huaidao asked on the way that Cheng Chumo knew the situation in Weinan County. According to Cheng Chumo's description
After walking, Qin Huaidao soon came to a street intersection. In front of him was the county government office.
There were some people standing guard at the gate of the county government office, all carrying knives. They were heavily guarded, and patrols nearby also increased significantly. Qin Huaidao was not only not worried, but secretly happy. The tight guarding meant that the target was still inside. He quickly bypassed the front of the county government office and came from the side.
Go in through an alley.
The alley was very wide and there was no way to use strength. Qin Huaidao found a tree and climbed up, then nimbly jumped onto the roof of a nearby house and ran forward along the ridge. He kicked hard with his feet and his body rose into the air. He moved his hands forward steadily.
He clung to the wall of the county government office, shrank his body, quickly climbed up, and jumped into the county government office.
The guards inside the county government office were also strengthened, and there were patrols cruising around. When Qin Huaidao saw someone coming, he quickly hid behind a large vat. This vat was for fire prevention. It was usually placed in the open air to catch rainwater. It was very convenient when needed. The vat was high
It is about 1.5 meters in diameter and has an outer diameter of about 2 meters. It is not easy to be found when hidden behind.
After waiting for a moment for the patrol to pass by, Qin Huaidao rushed around the vat from the other end, followed the shadow in the corner, passed through a courtyard, and passed through a main room to reach the backyard, where the county magistrate lived. Qin Huaidao saw everything
Just like what Cheng Chumo described, I felt very calm.
There was no guard in the backyard, it was quiet, and the windows and doors of the wing were closed. Qin Huaidao observed for a moment, touched it cautiously, and walked forward for a distance along a passage. He saw a room with a door ajar, and someone was lighting a fire and preparing to cook.
, she was a cook. Qin Huaidao stepped in and covered the other person's mouth from behind.
The cook was so frightened that she struggled desperately and screamed, but her voice was muffled.
Qin Huaidao said coldly: "If you don't want to die, don't scream."
The cook did not dare to shout or move. Qin Huaidao asked in a low voice: "Which room is the county magistrate in?"
I dare not say anything in the kitchen and start crying.
"Shut up, if you cry again I'll kill you." Qin Huaidao threatened in a low voice. Extraordinary measures should be used in extraordinary times.
The other party was so frightened that he quickly stopped and said something, but his voice was muffled and Qin Huaidao did not hear it clearly. He threatened: "I will relax a little. If you dare to shout, I will kill you. If you agree, just nod."
The other party nodded quickly, and Qin Huaidao slowly loosened his hand.
The cook was frightened and said quickly: "Inside the small courtyard, there is the second wing."
Qin Huaidao stunned the person with a knife in his hand. He quickly came to the door and took a look. The small courtyard behind was quiet. Several red lanterns in the corridor were swaying in the wind, illuminating the surrounding area. Qin Huaidao rushed to the door of the second wing and slashed with his knife.
When I opened the window and looked inside, there was a red candle lighting it, and there was someone lying on a big bed.
The door was bolted from the inside. Qin Huaidao stabbed it through the crack of the door with a dog-leg knife, slowly fiddled with it, removed the bolt, carefully pushed the door in, then closed the door behind him, and jumped up quickly.
There was a man and a woman lying on the bed. The man had a mole at the end of his left eyebrow, the size of a soybean, with distinct features. He was the magistrate of Weinan County. Qin Huaidao chopped the magistrate unconscious with a knife, then followed the same pattern and chopped the woman unconscious, then lifted the quilt.
, pulled out the sheet and rolled up the county magistrate, and found a rope to tie the two ends tightly to prevent it from falling.
When everything was ready, Qin Huaidao put the man on his shoulders and left quickly.
There were too many patrols at the front door, and it was too risky to bring someone with him. Qin Huaidao chose to go out through the side door of the courtyard. He walked through a back garden and reached the back door. Seeing that there were two handles at the back door, Qin Huaidao found a hiding place to hide, and pretended to be a female voice and shouted in panic: "
Someone is coming soon!"
The two people guarding the back door ran over quickly when they heard the shouting. Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief. He overestimated the vigilance of these people. They actually came together without leaving any one behind, or called the police first and then came up to check. Think about it.
Yes, after all, they are just servants who have not received professional training.
Soon, the two people rushed through the back garden and rushed into the door. Qin Huaidao opened his bow from left to right, and each person knocked the person unconscious with a knife. He took off the person's robe and put it on himself to cover the official uniform, which can reduce the risk of exposure to a certain extent. Seeing that no one came in to check at the back door,
He picked up the county magistrate and rushed forward quickly,
At this time, it was already dawn. Qin Huaidao walked through the back garden and came to the back door. He stopped, leaned against the wall, and carefully looked outside. There were two rows of greenery outside the door. About five meters away was the intersection. There were four people holding hands and stamping their hands.
My feet were on my feet and my hands were shaking. It was quite cold.
Qin Huaidao put down the county magistrate and rushed out like a tiger coming out of the gate. He opened his bow left and right, one palm at a time. He knocked down two of them instantly and fainted. The other two looked over with shock on their faces. Before they had time to react, they
My vision went dark and I fainted.
After he succeeded, Qin Huaidao threw the man into the greenery and returned quickly. He picked up the county magistrate and was about to run. Suddenly he saw a cart parked not far away. He had an idea and put the man on the cart with two knives hidden in it.
Then he pushed the cart out of the back door and walked along the street.
Not long after, Qin Huaidao pushed his cart to the intersection of Main Street.
"stop!"
A patrol came over, and the leader shouted coldly.
Qin Huaidao pretended to be horrified and shouted: "Master, someone in my house died suddenly. The doctor said he was infected with smallpox and must be sent out of the city to be burned immediately."
"Which one?"
"It's Zhao Yuan's family in the back," Qin Huaidao said nonsensically.
The other party was a little suspicious and shouted with a cold face: "You say it is? Hurry up and open it for me to check."
"Hurry up, I'll chop you if you keep talking nonsense." A soldier pulled out a knife and threatened.
