Chapter 197 Is This Your Magic?
However, as time passed, the people who were sent out did not return.
He didn't come back until it was completely dark.
The next day, before dawn, Gu Xiao called everyone together for a discussion.
"For safety reasons, we need to move to another residence."
The other residence is not far from here, it is a small house, but the difference is that only a very few people know about the existence of that house, so it has a higher safety factor.
"The people we sent out to make contact haven't returned overnight. We have to be wary of the possibility that they might be arrested and then traced back to this place."
As it turned out, Gu Xiao was right to be cautious.
Shortly after they moved in, their previous residence was searched.
"Phew~ Fortunately, Brother Xiao was alert, otherwise we would have been surrounded." Wang Geng, like Gu Xiao, used binoculars to see the scene of the Y country army surrounding the house.
Having escaped danger, Wang Geng breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he found that his brother Xiao had a heavy expression on his face.
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? We moved out first, leaving them empty-handed. Shouldn't we be happy..."
Gu Xiao's expression remained unchanged. He put away the telescope and said:
"Go down to the meeting."
The previous residence was exposed, which meant that their previous strategy of luring the enemy to the north area had been discovered.
Well, if nothing unexpected happens, the enemy will focus on searching the southern area where they are.
This also means that the current residence will not be stable for long.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to send some people out first.
"Make a feint to the east and attack in the west. I'll lead one team to draw the fire while the rest of you take the opportunity to move."
The person responsible for the contact did not come back, but the person responsible for establishing contact with the underworld forces here did.
Country Y has a developed coal mining industry and the underworld has extensive connections. They have their own means of transporting people across borders.
Gu Xiao took out a map and circled several key locations based on the information provided by the informant.
"After I distract the enemy, Wang Geng, you take the remaining men and break through from this position. Then, avoid the main road and go this way to here. The black forces are located here."
"No, Brother Xiao, I'll lead the others to divert the fire, and you lead the others away."
Wang Geng knew how dangerous it was to divert the fire.
"Brother Xiao, I am your guard, and my first responsibility is to ensure your safety."
Gu Xiao: "Attracting firepower is the most important part of this operation. We need to pull it from a distance. You pull it, but who will be held responsible if it breaks free?"
Wang Geng, whose abilities were questioned: ...
"Brother Xiao, it's useless for you to tease me on purpose."
Wang Geng choked and said, "Otherwise, you can let someone else lead the retreat. I want to follow you anyway."
After hearing what Wang Geng said, some soldiers could no longer sit still.
"Then I want to follow the captain too. If the captain hadn't saved me during the ambush in Country Y, I would have lost my life long ago."
"Count me in, I'm going to fight those treacherous villains from Country Y."
Gu Xiao coldly dismissed it: "Shut up and follow my instructions."
"Captain, the situation outside has changed!"
The soldier on guard suddenly came to report.
"After searching our previous residence, the enemy began to spread out, searching house by house."
"What, so fast? Did those bastards get a search warrant?"
"They're actually searching the wealthy district directly. Aren't they afraid of unrest among the nobles?"
"Nothing is impossible. If they get hold of Mr. Guo and his information, their military strength will rise several notches. With such a big opportunity hanging before them, it's no surprise that the leaders of Country Y would be tempted."
Gu Xiao took the telescope and went up to investigate again.
The Y country army did launch a search in the southern area, and not only that, they also added a new group of search personnel.
Such a large-scale manhunt, such a reckless attitude.
It seems that this time the Y Country Military Region has put the word "want" on its forehead without any concealment.
"Listen up, everyone, prepare according to your previous groupings. We'll be moving in five minutes."
The development of the situation was faster than he expected.
While everyone was making preparations, Gu Xiao took Song Youyou aside.
"Youyou..."
"impossible."
Knowing what he wanted to say, Song Youyou refused in advance.
"I am not one of your soldiers. I will not listen to you."
She had come to the border for him.
I came to Country Y for him.
Finally she found the person, she would not let him take risks and leave by herself.
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly became panicked.
He had taken everything into account, but he didn't expect that she would not leave.
"You don't have to listen to me on other matters, but you have to listen to me on this one."
This is a battlefield in a foreign country. How could his little girl not be afraid?
"If you don't leave..." I'll be scared.
Gu Xiao didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be afraid.
When I was little, catching snakes and fighting were no problem for me. As an adult, even when faced with gunfire and hail of bullets, my heartbeat remained relatively stable. I have never been afraid of anything.
As a result, his weak spot was hit.
It's really annoying.
"Be good, if anything happens to you..."
He couldn't imagine the scene of her getting hurt in front of him, and he couldn't even think about it for fear that it would be unlucky.
"If you don't listen to me, I'll be angry," he threatened.
Song Youyou didn't move.
Gu Xiao: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You follow the main group first and go home and wait for me. If you're by my side, I'll be distracted, which is not good, right?" The threat was weak, so he could only think of a way to coax this ancestor away.
Song Youyou stopped her and said, "Don't try to coax me. Listen to me. I should have a way."
"What do you mean by should or should not, Madam Captain? If you have a solution, please tell me!" Wang Geng walked over impatiently.
He originally wanted to say something to his brother Xiao, so he came here, but he didn't expect to hear Song Youyou say that there was a solution.
In this situation, if someone else said there was a solution, he probably wouldn't pay attention.
But Song Youyou is different.
It has nothing to do with whether she is the captain’s wife or not, but her own abilities.
Her arrival not only saved the key figure, Mr. Guo, but also translated the most important information.
So, if she says there is a way, it is worth everyone's attention.
Not only Wang Geng, almost all the soldiers present thought so. They were packing their things with their hands, but their ears perked up.
"way……"
There is a way.
But the question is whether she wants to do it.
The method with the least casualties is actually for her to put everyone into the space, and then she will follow the route on the map to find the black forces that can help cross the border.
But how can we put people into a space without exposing the existence of the space?
Blind them? Make everyone blind?
Okay, even if we can't make them see the space, the problem is solved.
How do you explain the fact that they returned to China when they couldn't leave?
Is there a great scholar who can debate for me?
Song Youyou thought for a while and said:
"Perhaps, have you ever heard of magic?"
"Magic? What magic?"
“Boom—”
As soon as the words fell, a sound came from the sky.
"What's that sound?"
"Look, there's something in the sky."
Everyone looked up at the sky at the same time.
"Madam Captain, is this your magic? W-wow, amazing..."
Song Youyou: “…” It’s none of her business--.
