Chapter 368

The sudden noise outside the barracks made Xiao liaomu look tight for a moment.

Huadaru hurried out and returned soon.

"Lord, someone set fire to the mountain in the northwest outside the camp!"

"Who is it?"

"It is inferred that Tang Jun did it! But there are not many people!"

"How do you organize the search during the day? Unexpectedly, Tang Jun can get close to the camp!"

Xiao liaomu's tone was not good, and Hua Daru's face was embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Lord. I'll organize people to catch it myself. I promise I won't leave alone!"

As soon as huadaru turned and left, a pro guard entered the big tent. After whispering a few words in Xiao liaomu's ear, Xiao liaomu immediately got up and left the big tent.

The mountain near the barracks is not steep. It can only be considered as a bigger hill. Half of it is depressed due to lack of water, which is surrounded as the core area of the barracks!

The whole military camp is supervised by Xiao liaomu's personal guards and horses, and the guard here is extremely strict. Even if the fire has burst into the sky outside, none of the personal guards in charge of guarding dare to move without authorization. They still guard their respective positions in five steps and one sentry to ensure the safety of the core area.

No matter who wants to enter, it is extremely difficult. Of course, Xiao liaomu is an exception.

The pro army guard followed Xiao liaomu through several guard lines, and did not stop until in front of a huge building built with the help of the mountain, quietly waiting in place and no longer entering.

Xiao liaomu opened the door curtain alone and went in. The first thing that came into view in the big tent was the entrance of a cave nearly two people high. Several people stood at the entrance. They seemed to be talking about something. From the expression of each one, they didn't talk very happily.

When several people saw Xiao liaomu coming in, they quickly stopped arguing, trotted over and bowed.

Xiao liaomu gently waved his hand and walked to one of the middle-aged men. Although the man was embarrassed, dressed in coarse clothes and covered with soil, Xiao liaomu didn't show any dislike, but showed a look of surprise.

"Why are you here?"

After another salute, the middle-aged man didn't speak immediately, but subconsciously looked at the other two people.

"They are all my confidants. It doesn't hurt to say anything!"

The middle-aged man said yes again and again in embarrassment after exchanging the white eyes of the two people, and then whispered.

"There are some situations on the villain's side. The communication with the Lord's men is not smooth, so I have to go there and hope to make some coordination. Unexpectedly, the Lord is also there. It seems that the difficulties can be effectively solved!"

"Oh? What's the situation that makes childe Zhou so difficult and wants to take a risk? Childe Zhou just says that if there are deficiencies in my hand, I will be punished!"

After a little thought, the middle-aged man gave up the idea of making a small report.

Although it was really difficult for those principals to communicate, so that he had to go there in person, after all, the other party was the confidant of the South Princess king, and blindly complaining might not benefit him.

Besides, life has ups and downs. After so many things, there is still some ability to bear.

"The Lord misunderstood. The villain and several masters get along well, but some things must be nodded by the Lord!"

"Then talk about it!"

"The Lord also knows that the reason for the slow progress of the project is that the rock layer is too solid and difficult to dig. Moreover, this winter is particularly long and cold, resulting in extremely thick frozen soil, and the excavation dare not make too loud noise..."

"Of course, I know this, so I didn't urge you. As long as you can complete it according to the expected construction period and hand it over in June!" Xiao liaomu impatiently interrupted the other party's complaint.

"Now I'm afraid... It's hard to achieve the expectation!"

"Why? You can give me as much as you want, but now you tell me you can't finish it?"

Xiao liaomu's eyes were cold.

"The Lord doesn't know. Food, grass and tools are not a problem, but over the past few months, the labor loss on the villain's side is too great, and the monitoring everywhere is too strict, so it can't be supplemented by personnel at all, so..."

"Oh, can Datang actually work?"

"To be honest, Longzhou has been monopolized by some forces, and the monitoring is very strict. I think it is impossible to go out to catch workers!"

Xiao liaomu thought for a moment, frowned and said, "do you mean to let the king add some labor to you?"

"This is indeed the toughest problem at the moment!"

Xiao liaomu did not immediately answer the middle-aged man.

While he was thinking, an old man nearby whispered, "Lord, according to the agreement, we have done everything we should do!"

Xiao liaomu naturally understands the deep meaning of his subordinates' words.

This plan is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. It is undoubtedly a good thing like pie in the sky. It is really difficult for him to refuse this *, but there may not be no risk in this cooperation, and how can he be completely unprepared? Who knows, is this a conspiracy of Datang?

Therefore, at the beginning of the plan, we chose the address in the prominent position of the terrain, and adopted a cooperation mode of "taking benefits first and then paying compensation". Even if Datang has actions, he also has remedial measures!

They are only responsible for one part of the process, and the others will not give more hands to each other.

The middle-aged man looked at the old man and said discontentedly, "although the agreement is so, who gets more benefits afterwards? Don't you worry? Besides, the noise outside shows that Tang Jun may have noticed here. Aren't you worried at all?"

The old man smiled calmly.

"I have explained to you before. After all, this is a border area, and some situations are inevitable. There is no need to make a fuss at all. Moreover, as far as I know, there are not many Tang troops harassing the camp, so I conclude that Tang Jun's motivation should have nothing to do with our plan!"

The old man was a brave man on the battlefield. He had experienced the war between the two countries. Naturally, he had no fear of this "small scene".

At this time, Xiao liaomu gave a "um" sound.

Seeing Xiao liaomu's succession, the old man turned around and said respectfully to the southern Princess King: "Lord, if the other party really finds out that there is a problem here, it must first show the clue there. If so, it's only necessary to solve the problem there. Why do you come here and harass him? I asked childe Zhou before. He said he didn't have any trouble there. Therefore, I inferred that the emergence of Tang Jun should be just a mistake It's just an accident! "

Xiao liaomu thought about it and smiled a little relieved. These days, he really has a shadow of a bow and a snake.

As the old man said, if the Tang army really finds something, it is first to solve the problems in the state of Tang, and then do something with it. How can it directly go here to test? The middle-aged man has said that there is no abnormal situation there!

Just as he was about to accept this statement, the middle-aged man said in a hurry: "My Lord, now the plan has reached the most critical moment, and nothing can be taken lightly! I know something about the affairs between the two countries. There has never been a sneak attack on each other's camp after more than 20 years of confrontation between the two countries. Although the number of people is small, how can we be sure that it is not a tentative move taken because of doubt?"

Xiao liaomu frowned again.

What happened today is really unusual. It's a coincidence that not only the Tang army sent out on a large scale, but also suspicious experts killed at the border and sneaked here, and another Tang army harassed the camp endlessly?

"Hum, I've already said that, childe Zhou, you're just worrying too much. You just need to do your own thing well. How we arrange here has nothing to do with you!"

"Now is not the time to gamble. We must be highly vigilant in all aspects to ensure that everything is safe. Since ancient times, there have been few things like careless capsizing and missing the first step?"

"Blindly cautious, always looking forward and backward, trembling, and what can be achieved..."

"Well, stop arguing!"

Xiao liaomu interrupted the two men's argument and said to the middle-aged man, "the king asks you, is there really nothing unusual there?"

"Tell the Lord, although I can't get out there, others can't get in. In addition, the mountain has been closed by heavy snow during this period. There are no abnormal changes at all, but..."

"Just what? Now the external situation is getting tighter and tighter. I'm worried that my situation there can't guarantee everything for a long time. The plan must be completed as soon as possible. If it's late, it will change. Once a great opportunity is missed, it won't happen again!"

"What does it mean that the situation is getting tighter and tighter?"

"Since I arrived in Longzhou, someone has been tracking us down. Now it's tightly sealed. If this goes on, I'm afraid I have a long dream..."

"Is it the border army?"

"It's not, but a Jianghu force..."

"As long as it's not the border army, I can promise you here that I will find a way to add some labor to you to ensure the completion of the project on schedule!"

The old man still wanted to say something, but Xiao liaomu stopped him with his eyes.

Xiao liaomu straightened out his thoughts and continued to say to the middle-aged man, "I won't forget your hard work. As long as I survive this period of time and complete the agreed event, it is the time for me to honor my promise and pay homage to you!"

The middle-aged man quickly fell to his knees.

"Little, I'm willing to do everything for the prince!"

"Well! Because this matter is very important, in order to avoid revealing the news, it's inconvenient for me to make too much momentum, so I can only send you some personal guards as temporary labor supplement. These people are warriors of the state of Yan, not slaves. You should be more valuable to them, understand?"

Even if the middle-aged man had an idea in his heart, he was helpless. He nodded and said, "please rest assured, Lord! He will never hurt the warriors under the Lord!"

"Well, somebody!"

Outside the tent, a bodyguard came in and waited for instructions.

"How's the huadaru side?"

"Report back to the master. Commander Hua has just sent someone to send a message. The fire has been basically controlled. He is organizing to pursue the fleeing enemy!"

"Tell him not only to ensure the safety of the camp, but also to ensure the safety around the camp. Don't happen again when the enemy approaches the camp! In addition, pick 200 people out, no, 300 people, and call them here. I have other arrangements!"

"Yes!"

……

Zhang Zhou's luck was very good. With the protection of the willing meat pad, he fell into the deep snow, almost intact.

He didn't dare to stay at all. In the process of falling just now, the subconscious function exploded again, and the result of relaxing and slowing down was that the body appeared a sense of fatigue.

Today, he has been tossing about very "fun". He consumes a lot of physical strength and energy. After the Qi machine is calmed down, the side effects also follow. At present, he also has a little "war weariness" after "cooling".

Zhang Zhou struggled to climb out of the snow pit, but he didn't have time to find the lost saber and face armor. He just put on a short dagger and ran to the military camp that was within reach!

Zhang Zhou didn't know what was going on. Anyway, as far as he knew, there was absolutely no battle plan for Beiyan in Datang recently. It's impossible to say that Beiyan himself did some night exercises.

At present, he is not in the mood to join the fun. He should seize the time to find a horse. Leaving here is the most important thing.

The scale of the camp was not very large. Zhang Zhou soon went around the rear of the camp and clearly saw that there were many horses in the camp, and there were not many guards, which was very in line with the starting conditions.

Zhang Zhou observed for a while and found some rules. A patrolling Yan soldier happened to return to the camp. He took the opportunity to follow the last of the team and easily sneaked into the camp.

The Beiyan soldiers guarding here are also very strict in discipline. They perform their duties, do not disturb each other, and hardly talk to each other. This also reassures Zhang Zhou. Just as he was trying to figure out what to do next, an order came and the guards gathered.

When Zhang Zhou was still stunned, a small head passed by him and patted him hard to urge him to hurry up.

Zhang Zhou is really too lazy to fight now. In order to avoid exposure, he simply gritted his teeth and ran over, and stood at the end of the queue.

It was dark in the dark, and there were border soldiers one by one. It was hard to avoid getting ashen under the wind and sun. No one noticed him as an outsider at all.

Soon I heard someone shouting, "you people follow me. There are other arrangements!"

The order was brief and comprehensive, but Zhang Zhou felt bitter. However, the whole array had begun to turn around, and he had to sigh and follow suit.

Three hundred Pro soldiers came to the huge military tent. A big man in brocade and jade belt led a middle-aged man, who had been waiting there.

All the guards knelt down neatly and shouted to the Lord.

Xiao liaomu naturally didn't have the habit of being polite to his own guards. He said directly, "tonight, the king will give you a new task to follow the Duke Zhou to carry out a plan. Everyone should obey his instructions. If anyone doesn't obey the arrangement, he will be killed!"

Zhang Zhou watched secretly. When the middle-aged man's face was clearly exposed under the torch, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"How could he be in Yan Jun's camp?"
