Chapter 48 - Task (II)
Under the lead of the frontline, they didn't go through the main entrance of Yang Town at all, but directly came down from the hillside, climbed over the city wall, and after a few turns, entered a house next to the one with the words "One Inn" written on it.
When he entered the door, he saw that there were already people waiting there.
"Captain!" The man stood at attention.
Zhuo Qingyan nodded at him: "What's the situation?"
The man thought for a while and raised his hand to make a gesture. Zhuo Qingyan waved her hand and said, "We are all on the same side here. No need, speak."
"Yes sir!" The team member said again.
The two criminals will be imprisoned in the second and third rooms on the first floor. The rooms one and four on both sides will be occupied by eight officials while the six rooms upstairs will be occupied by officials. In addition, two groups of people will be patrolling outside and outside the first inn.
Zhuo Qingyan could not help but pout: "Inner and outer body? A group of eight? "
"Yes, focus." The team member nodded again.
"There's no need to go back and forth. This means that there's a loophole to take advantage of. It looks like the attack tonight will be inevitable." She bit her lip.
Chu Yi Chen said, "Let them come in, won't it be fine if we beat them back?"
Zhuo Qingyan shook her head: "If we miss here, they will definitely have some tricks up their sleeves, the official way!"
Chu Yi Chen's eyes flashed with a smile, then he raised his eyebrows.
"Send the message that everyone must be in place by the time of the new era. They are only here to assist and not to attack directly. After those who attack us in the future retreat, we will immediately gather here." Zhuo Qingyan ordered.
"Yes sir!" The team members immediately went out.
Zhuo Qingyan turned around and walked out as well. She pointed to a big tree behind a house at the side. "Take me to it."
Following the sound of the wind, Yan Li and Jiang Siyue also came over.
The four of them stood on top of a tree, looking down at an inn.
At this time, the place was brightly lit. Everyone was seated in a hall below, eating dinner.
The front door was made of wood with two rows of red lanterns hanging in front. At the same time, officials could be seen walking past them. There were eight people walking in a straight line, patrolling the yard in neat steps.
"It's not like I'm queuing up, what's the use?" Zhuo Qingyan frowned and mumbled.
"Illuminate looks ahead and no one cares about the back. It would be weird if he didn't get caught." Chu Yi Chen said in a deep voice.
"This is the difference between officers and soldiers. If every officer was as smart as a soldier, then there wouldn't be any major cases happening in this world." Zhuo Qingyan shook her head.
There was a shop in front of the inn. It was not too big, and there was a small street on both sides of it.
Behind the inn, it was even more chaotic. The buildings here were all not up to standard, and there were many forks in the road, with no less than six roads leading to the back door of the inn.
At the back of the inn, there was a large field. It was used to store horses, and it was even weaker there. No one paid any attention to it.
"If I were an assassin, I would sneak in from here and go to the guest room to kill the people in the room. Then, I would sneak out. By the time the patrolling guards discovered me, they would have no way to escape." Zhuo Qingyan squinted.
"Along the way, there have been quite a few incidents like this. These people still haven't learned their lesson. It's really hard to help the people that this king sent." Chu Yi Chen's eyebrows were locked together, he was truly worried for his subordinates.
"I don't think these imperial guards are that weak. Even though we all listen to servants, they should be aware of such an obvious loophole …" Yan Li stood under the tree branch and looked at them.
"It was intentional, but the numbers are wrong." Chu Yi Chen still shook his head.
"It won't do even if we just look at them. We still have to observe them on the spot. Let these little wolfdogs stretch their muscles and bones." Zhuo Qingyan's eyes lit up. It was obvious that she was planning something.
After saying so, she put her hand to her lips and immediately let out a few sounds that sounded like the meowing of a cat. Then, from their little courtyard, she stuck out a few heads and looked in their direction.
Just when the three of them were wondering how she was going to transmit orders in such a dark night, a different voice came out of her mouth once more. It sounded like a cat, like a bird.
The three people standing beside her didn't understand what she meant, but the ones below her were different. The moment her voice stopped, she raised her hand towards them.
Yan Li was shocked, but he still lowered his voice and asked: "Did you hear that clearly?"
"Hopefully, it will all depend on their comprehension ability." Zhuo Qingyan did not boast as she was afraid that these brats would slap her in the face.
Chu Yi Chen did not say anything, he did not feel that it was impossible, because he had seen these people practice together.
Jiang Siyue did not make a sound, and only stared at the inn's courtyard.
Sure enough, they didn't have to wait for too long. A few shadows had already dashed over from the yard next door, and they really did sneak in from the direction of the stables in the backyard.
Their movements were not slow. In a short moment, they arrived at the second floor of the inn. With one look, the three people standing there all sighed.
Jiang Siyue said softly, "This is the loophole."
However, those people did not enter the building. Instead, they only observed from the outside. After a quarter of an hour, they heard three cat meows. The black shadows once again dived back to the place they came from.
Zhuo Qingyan shook her head and patted Chu Yi Chen: "Go back."
The four of them returned to the room and looked at the three team members. "Tell me about the situation."
"Yes!" The stable in the backyard is empty. There are no ambushes or guards. There are no patrols on the first floor and there are four people patrolling in the corridor on the second floor. The report is complete. " After saying this, the team member took a step back.
"Just follow the original position, the backyard. Leave it to me." Zhuo Qingyan raised her eyebrows.
"True, we can also …" As soon as Yan Li opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhuo Qingyan.
She turned her head to look at the three of them. "Don't forget what we said when we entered the town."
"But, King... "Captain, you don't have enough men …" Yan Li still wanted to fight for it again.
"How do you know it's not enough? If you stay here and act on your own, don't blame me for not being polite and messing up our plans. A lot of people will die. " Zhuo Qingyan said coldly, not giving him any face.
"Captain, I'll go prepare." The team members left immediately. This kind of conversation was between masters, he wouldn't be able to hear it.
Chu Yi pulled Yan Li, who still wanted to speak, and shook his head: "Today, she's the main marshal, and we're only soldiers. Listen to her."
Zhuo Qingyan raised her eyebrow at Yan Li: "Did you hear that!"
"I heard it!" Yan Li sighed helplessly.
