Chapter 1966

Rural life in this era is often the same day after day, especially at night, when there are basically no outdoor activities. The same is true in Yangyue Village. Today is no different from usual days. After nightfall, the busy

After a day's work, the farmers each returned home, took a short rest after dinner, and then prepared to wash up and go to bed.

Feng Agui drank a few more glasses at dinner today, so sleepiness came earlier than usual. He lay on the bed, thinking that this good wine produced in Sanya was indeed a bit high. He drank less than half a kilogram and was already feeling dizzy.

He usually has at least one kilogram, but he is reluctant to buy the "Sanya Special Liquor" which costs two yuan a bottle. He can only drink the kind of homemade bulk liquor sold in rural liquor stores. The taste is of course not as good as this high-end product.

.

Yesterday, Feng Agui just made a deal and sold more than two thousand kilograms of new rice he harvested to a group of grain merchants from other places at a very good price. However, these grain merchants did not bring enough vehicles, so for the time being,

He only paid a 20% deposit to Feng Agui. This amount of money was no longer a small amount for Feng Agui, so he took advantage of the opportunity to go to town to buy grain today and bought a bottle of long-coveted wine as a token of appreciation.

Your own reward.

Feng Agui was surprised when he thought about the grain merchants. They had gone all the way to the countryside to collect grain, not just to get a bargain, but the price they offered was higher than the purchase price at the grain market in the north of Danzhou City.

Moreover, you have to pay for the freight yourself. After all, it is better to go to the grain market to buy it. Isn’t this a waste of time? Moreover, these people seemed to be more interested in the pond outside the village than in the grain, and they asked him many questions.

Something about that pond.

Feng Agui felt that these people were not like grain merchants, but more like those literati in the city who had nothing to do after they were full and liked to go to the pond to feed mosquitoes at night. But this was not a problem for him, anyway, Haihan

The banknotes issued by the bank are already in their pockets, no matter whether they come to buy food or to see the scenery.

After sleeping for a while, Feng Agui felt that the room was a little stuffy and he felt uncomfortable, so he got up and opened the window to get some air. Unexpectedly, after he opened the window, he saw people not far away outside. His house was located on the edge of the village.

, you can see the fields outside the village when you open the window, and at this time, there are many people marching silently on the field paths.

At this time, the autumn grain harvest has long been finished, and most of the fields are still wild, so these people who are active outside are particularly conspicuous, and it seems that everyone is carrying a long and thin thing on their backs.

"Damn it, I'm hallucinating after drinking this wine!" Feng Agui lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, feeling that what he saw at first sight might not be the real influence.

However, when he looked up again, he found that this was not an illusion. There were really many people walking in the fields. Through the moonlight, he finally saw clearly that the things these people were carrying were rifles. Although Feng Agui did not take it for granted.

He has touched a gun in the army, but he also went to see the excitement during the militia training in the town, and he recognized this most common individual weapon in the Haihan Army. Obviously, these people who are currently active outside the village should be able to

It's the army.

In a rural place like Yangyue Village, Feng Agui didn't understand why there were large groups of soldiers operating here at night and couldn't find anyone to ask. He didn't even dare to say a word to his family to get up and watch this spectacle - if they were discovered.

, maybe you will be charged with "spying on military aircraft" or something like that. When I was listening to books in the town, the storyteller specifically said that you should never pry into the military privately, especially when they are marching and fighting.

The crimes committed by military aircraft can be serious or minor, and being treated as a spy is a serious crime that will cost you your head.

Feng Agui noticed one thing. These soldiers moving in the fields did not light torches or other lighting objects. According to his understanding, this was most likely to be performing some kind of special mission-last month the county

Detective Chen led a team to the next village to catch the criminal responsible for a wounding incident. I heard that he got in during the darkness.

Feng Agui didn't think there could be any criminal thieves in Yangyue Village that the government would send out troops to arrest, so even though he found a plausible reason for the behavior of the soldiers outside, he himself was not too

Believe in this possibility.

Feng Agui was about to go to bed when he suddenly remembered that the grain merchants seemed to be staying temporarily not far from the village. He was afraid that they would be shocked by the battle. However, he did not dare to go out to warn the grain merchants at this time.

To avoid getting into trouble, if that group of people is still outside the village, they can only ask for their own blessings. I just hope that it won't delay them from coming to the village to transport food in two days. After all, the other party only paid the deposit, and there is still more than half of it.

Didn't get the money.

But what Feng Agui didn't expect was that he would never receive the remaining payment for selling grain, but the other party would not come back to get the deposit back, so he still made a pure profit from this transaction.

Xue Zheng was not sleeping at this time. He took some of his most skilled men and hid in the woods only ten feet away from the pond in Yangyue, Yantang. From here, you could even see clearly several wooden structures built beside the pond.

tents, and seven or eight official personnel who were busy setting up the venue.

Xue Zheng has repeatedly calculated in his mind the distance from the hiding place to the tent, the time it will take to travel through this distance when launching an attack, and his optional attack routes. He must strive to complete the raid in the shortest possible time.

, and then evacuate the area as quickly as possible. The less time the operation takes, the more time they can use to evacuate, which is very important.

Although someone should have prepared a sailboat for their evacuation on the seaside more than 20 miles away at this moment, considering the terrifying speed of the Haihan naval warship, it is still theoretically possible for them to reach the other side of the strait.

They have been intercepted and killed before, so the sooner they complete the operation and evacuate this place, the greater the possibility of escape.

Although Xue Zheng believed that he was hiding well in Danzhou, the official investigation was loud and clear. A few days ago, there was no harvest at Danzhou Port, and there seemed to be no follow-up measures. But Xue Zheng

He still didn't dare to rely on him. He knew that once he took action, his whereabouts would be exposed, and the hunting ability of the Haihan Eagle Dog was something that no one dared to underestimate. After this attack was launched, it would definitely be launched with all its strength. Even if he escaped by then,

Even within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you may not be able to completely escape the enemy's tracking.

Xue Zheng silently counted the time. From the time his men came back to report that the North Koreans had crossed the Beimen River, considering the relatively slow speed of traveling on country roads at night, it was estimated that they would arrive about an hour later than the men who rushed back.

Here. If nothing happens on the way, we should be almost there.

Xue Zheng checked the equipment on his body again, short guns, long knives, daggers, heart armor, sleeve arrows... and a poison hidden in the pendant on his chest. Yes, if this operation failed and he didn't

If you can escape successfully, then this poison will most likely come in handy. And this kind of thing is on everyone who participated in this mission. When setting off from Sanya, it was distributed to everyone through him.

In hand. The meaning is also very clear. If the mission fails and you really can't leave, you have to end it yourself to avoid leaking the secret.

Whether this measure will have the desired effect is actually a test of human nature. Although these people participating in this mission are all desperadoes, it is not an exaggeration to describe them as brave and unafraid of death, but the ruthlessness of these people

Jin is all about being cruel to others. If you want them to take their own lives decisively, that is not something that can be accomplished by being cruel.

Since he comes from several different forces, Xue Zheng doesn't really understand the mentality of other people. But as far as he is concerned, if he wants to commit suicide, he knows that he will definitely hesitate when the matter comes. This has nothing to do with greed for life and fear of death.

, but because of the desire to survive, it is not easy to overcome such a nature. In Xue Zheng's view, this is even more difficult than performing the task itself. And he does not want to think about other people's opinions on this.

From my perspective, if someone doesn’t want to die, let alone giving him poison to kill himself, he will still resist even if a knife is put to his neck.

However, it was not the time to consider such complicated issues at the moment. Xue Zheng brushed his hand on the pendant, paused for a moment, and then went to check the next piece of equipment. He knew that as long as he could complete the task here, this matter would be settled completely.

, then you don’t have to think about this annoying problem anymore.

After the seven or eight official personnel responsible for setting up the venue completed the work at hand, they seemed to be squatting by the pond in boredom, chatting in low voices. At this moment, Xue Zheng even had the urge to kill these people first.

Then he pretended to be an official and took action as soon as the North Koreans arrived.

But he quickly suppressed this thought, because the risk of doing so was too great. If someone called out and alerted people in the distance, the success would most likely be in vain.

After chatting for a while, the few people actually returned to the tent, apparently planning to take the time to rest before the North Koreans arrived. The accomplice next to Xue Zheng muttered something in a low voice, presumably cursing them.

Government officials, after all, the forest is humid, hot, and full of mosquitoes. It is really not a comfortable place. At this time, when they see people resting in dry and ventilated tents, they will naturally feel resentful.

After waiting for a while, Xue Zheng suddenly felt that something was wrong. Since these government officials did not pay much attention to the Koreans and went into the tent to rest at this time, why not light a lamp in the tent for lighting? Could it be that they wanted to

Save some money on lamp oil, or simply sleep in a tent?

Of course, this was an unlikely situation, but Xue Zheng had a bad idea in his mind - the reason those people didn't light the lights in the tent was probably because they didn't want the outside world to notice their actions in the tent.

Xue Zheng turned his head and listened for a while. There was no sound in that direction. He then tapped the two people on the left and right to signal them to follow him.

Xue Zheng slowly moved forward. There was silence around the large tents. Only a fire was lit about a few feet away from the tents. At this time, because there had been no firewood for a long time, the flames were already very small. It was estimated that

It will have to be turned off after a while.

Whenever he heard any movement from the tent at this time, Xue Zheng would immediately stop his steps, but it was still very quiet in that direction, and he could only hear the rhythmic chirping of insects in the night.

The closer Xue Zheng walked, the more he felt something was wrong. There were obviously several people in the tents, but how could there be no sound at all. These tents formed a corner, blocking the view no matter which direction they looked from.

Where, Xue Zheng felt that this was probably not a coincidence, but a terrible situation that he did not dare to think about in detail.

Several people reached the outside of the tent where they saw the government officials entering without any obstruction. Even if these people had fallen asleep in the tent, they should have been able to hear breathing at such a close distance, but there was still no sound inside.

Any movement.

Xue Zheng slowly pulled out his long knife and showed a fire stick in his other hand. The men around him understood and drew their weapons. The tent door was wide open in the direction of the pond, and everyone rushed in, planning to get there in the shortest possible time.

They took the time to restrain the people in the tent, but under the light of the fire, they suddenly found that the tent was empty, with no one at all.

Everyone felt a chill running down their backs. They all saw with their own eyes that the government officials had been busy here for a long time, and finally they all entered the tent and then disappeared out of thin air. Isn't this place a scenic spot?

Is it a haunted unclean place?

Xue Zheng glanced left and right, walked straight to the direction facing the door, and with a flick of the knife, the tent cloth was lifted open. He stretched out the fire folding piece and looked outside, and it was less than five feet away.

It's the woods, and there are two other tents on the left and right, just enough to block the view on both sides. To put it bluntly, it's not surprising at all. After those people entered the tent, they should have slipped directly into the woods behind through this exit.

.

Will the government officials be so idle that they play hide-and-seek with themselves? This is obviously impossible. The only conclusion that Xue Zheng can think of is that this place is extremely dangerous, not because the government officials disappeared out of thin air, but because he realized that this place is extremely dangerous.

It might be a trap - the North Koreans probably won't show up here, and the only people who will show up here at this time are the assassins like myself!

"No, it's a trap! Evacuate!" Xue Zheng immediately issued an order to evacuate here. Although he knew it might be too late, his desire to survive still made him try to escape from this trap.

At this time, on the outskirts of this dense forest, hundreds of Haihan soldiers have completed the encirclement, and there is a lit torch for every five people, a fire every twenty feet, and several roads connecting this area.

Roadblocks have been set up. As for Xue Zheng's two men who were left nearby to guard the horses, they have already been captured with their horses.
