One evening three days later, Yan Di appeared outside the city again.
"Hi, I'm here again, you didn't expect it."
Yan Di turned around suddenly and saw Cheng Dalei appearing behind him, his mouth wide open and did not close for a long time.
"Shocking or not, unexpected or not." Cheng Dalei smiled: "I'll see how happy you are."
"You, you are a devil!"
"Don't say that!" Cheng Dalei said with a serious face: "The organization has given you a new task... We will still meet here three days later."
"Three days and three days, when will it end? Boss, I want people to know that I am a good person."
"Okay, okay, I understand everything. Remember what I told you last time, a qualified spy must learn to control his emotions. You are too impulsive."
"What's the mission this time?" Yan Di gradually got used to Cheng Dalei's speaking style.
"This time..." Cheng Dalei paused: "I need the defense layout of Qinchuan Pass..."
Qinchuan Pass is patrolled every day, and the city gate is a key defensive area. Three teams of people take turns guarding every day, each team has a hundred people. Their defensive area and the changing time of the guard are absolutely confidential. At least, they should not be known by Cheng Dalei.
's secret.
Yan Di didn't want to betray Mo Mingmi, but in the end, through some strange combination of circumstances, he told Cheng Dalei everything he knew.
Afterwards, he returned to Qinchuan Pass in despair. The guards at the city gate knew that Military Advisor Yan would go out every evening in the past few days, so no one would doubt that there was anything wrong with Military Advisor.
"Military Yan, you don't seem to be doing very well. Are you too busy recently?"
"Yeah." Yan Di said casually, waved his hands, and walked away.
The guard looked at Yan Di's back and sighed softly. The general was ill, and everything in and out of Qinchuan was handled by Military Advisor Yan... Military Advisor was really hard at work.
Yan Di returned to his yard. The words of the guard just now were still ringing in his ears. He subconsciously stood in front of the bronze mirror. When he saw his own appearance in the mirror, he was also shocked.
His cheeks are sunken, his cheekbones are high, his hair is dry, and he has sparse and messy stubble on his chin.
When did he...become like this? Yan Di took a breath and then remembered Cheng Dalei who appeared like a nightmare. Unknowingly, his spirit had been under too much pressure.
Yan Di is a decent man, and he has always paid great attention to his appearance. This time, without realizing it, he became so haggard. No wonder the guards said he looked bad.
This can't go on like this.
He asked the book boy to come in, tied his hair and tied it into a bun again, then carefully washed and shaved his face, and asked the book boy to get a clean robe.
Only then did Yan Di feel refreshed and energetic. He thought that Cheng Dalei might not be that scary. Next time we meet again, he would definitely not be suppressed by his momentum.
"Commander, the general invites you to have a drink at his house."
At this time, Mo Mingmi sent someone to invite Mo Mingmi.
Yan Di straightened his robe and followed the visitors to the general's mansion. This time, it was just a private banquet, and only Yan Di and Mo Mingmi were at the banquet.
Mo Mingmi noticed Yan Di's new robe and asked, "Why did the military advisor change into new clothes today?"
"Ah...General, we have just suffered a huge defeat and our morale is low. We must not be depressed. We should set an example for our subordinates."
"Well, what the military advisor said makes sense. I have really been a little decadent these past few days. Thank you, military advisor, for reminding me that I will never be like this again in the future." Mo Mingmi clapped her hands, and then a servant brought a new robe.
"In the past few days, I sent people to work with the military advisor. It was just finished today and is about to be given to the military advisor."
Yan Di was so grateful that he hurriedly knelt down and said, "General, you have been so kind to me. My subordinates will wear grass rings and die in repayment."
"Okay, get up." Mo Mingmi helped Yan Di up: "Today is just a private banquet, just drink some wine and talk."
During the banquet, Mo Mingmi inevitably sighed, and the bitterness in his heart poured out to Yan Di.
"Who am I..." Mo Mingmijiu was half drunk: "I'm just a dog in someone's hands. When someone doesn't want to use me, they can kick me to death."
"General, you are drunk, please take care of yourself..."
"Hey, is Cheng Dalei easy to bully? From the first day he came here, I knew something would happen sooner or later."
"Military advisor, you are getting older. You should find an opportunity to start a family so that you can have someone to carry on the family lineage."
The more Mo Mingmi drank wine, the thicker his words became. Yan Di listened and sighed softly. Mo Mingmi, the hero of the party, seemed to have great scenery, but in fact, there were many unknown sufferings behind his back.
Qinchuan Pass is quiet at night, with only louder sounds occasionally heard. Qinchuan Pass has stood here for many years. There are people who dare not listen to Mo Mingmi's words, but no one dares to attack Qinchuan Pass.
As time went by, the defense in the city naturally relaxed. It was only recently because of the appearance of Cheng Dalei that the guards began to become vigilant.
Outside the city, a group of men and horses approached quietly, walking with black masks on their faces. They made no sound while walking, like ghosts walking at night.
Cheng Dalei carried his sword on his back and clasped his hands on the city wall. He looked around and suddenly stood up.
The city is six feet high, which is about twenty meters. Cheng Dalei climbed up a little on the city wall, and the distance was another three or four meters, and he kept approaching the top of the city.
Everyone below looked at him. Such a height has exceeded everyone's understanding. I wonder if Cheng Dalei can successfully climb to the top of the city. If he can really do it, half of the battle will be won first.
Cheng Dalei climbed up the city wall, and using his strength, his body appeared on the top of the city.
There happened to be two guards patrolling the city wall, and they happened to pass by Cheng Dalei at this moment.
Cheng Dalei's sword cut one person's throat, and then stabbed the other person's open mouth instantly, killing two people in a row without making any sound in the process.
Cheng Dalei relaxed and lowered the rope. Zhao Zilong led a few quick hands and feet to climb up to the top of the city and continued to pick up people. In about one stick of incense time, there were about fifty or sixty people at the top of the city.
Everyone was dressed in black, with their faces covered with black cloth, and they quietly took out their weapons.
Under the command of Cheng Dalei's gesture, everyone sneaked into the city.
More than a dozen people at the city gate yawned.
"It's getting colder and colder today."
"If we wait a little longer, someone will come to take our place. Let's just hold on a little longer."
In the next moment, a group of people jumped out of the darkness. Before the person could react, he was stabbed through the heart with a sword.
No longer needing to hide his figure at this moment, Cheng Dalei shouted "kill" and then killed another person.
Before these guards knew what was going on, they saw a group of mountain ghost-like monsters jumping out, like wolves and tigers, killing people like hemp.
The battle ended quickly, and within a short period of time, more than a dozen corpses had fallen under the city gate.
Zhao Zilong opened the city gate.
Bandits from Toad Village outside the city rushed in like wild beasts.
