Chapter 834 The Dark Hand in the Night
It was dark at night to catch people, and they were alone at night. It would not be too difficult for several people to catch one person. With the deliberate encouragement of someone, the militiamen in the tent soon became angry and stood up to respond to the call.
"Anyway, we will die if we fight against the Han tribe. Why not learn everything today? Even if we die, we must be a clear-headed ghost. Count me in."
"Yes, count me in. My father went to the grassland to trade when he was young and taught me some grassland language. It's a good opportunity to ask them what's going on."
"Let's go. Although we don't have much skills, this hatchet in our hands is not vegetarian."
After some encouragement, more than a dozen hot-blooded young men stood up and were about to leave. But just as they stood up, they heard the old man who gave the beans at the beginning suddenly stop them.
"Wait, you young people are still too reckless."
After hearing what the old man said, a group of people stopped and turned to stare at him, ready to listen to what this guy had to say.
"Old man, do you still have doubts? This is an opportunity we cannot miss. Who knows when the Han tribe will attack us? Do we really have to let our brothers fight desperately with the iron-clad Han army? Besides, it was not us who offended the Han tribe. Why should we go and die?"
When Xun Ge'er heard the old man's objection, he was afraid that the old man would ruin his plan, so he quickly encouraged him with a few words, which led a group of stupid militiamen to agree with him.
"I didn't mean to stop you, but I wanted to ask you, are you going to do this? Where are you going to catch them? Where are
you going to interrogate them after they are caught? Also, do you think that you will be alright after you catch and kill them? When tomorrow morning comes, the camp will find that no one is missing, and they will definitely search everywhere. What if they find out about you?
The last question that concerns everyone is, if the result of the inquiry is that you are wrong, what should we do? If the inquiry shows that you are right, what should we do?"
The old man saw that everyone was too excited to listen to him, so he quickly said what he wanted to say, hoping that this group of young people could calm down and at least consider the consequences before going.
When everyone heard it, it seemed to make sense, so they stopped, and the dozen or so militiamen who were about to arrest people all looked at Xun Ge'er. He was the one who came up with the idea, and he was also the one who said that the commander-in-chief had a personal grudge with the Han tribe. Now everyone has regarded him as the backbone, and now being questioned by the old man, everyone is waiting for him to come up with a solution.
Xun Ge'er had planned this long ago, or rather, it was Tiezhen's Jinwu Guards who taught him to do this. They had told him in advance when and where to arrest people. They had already transferred the patrolling guards away, so no one would notice. They had also found a place for interrogation afterwards, and even prepared a place to kill people and dump bodies. So there was no problem at all, so he seemed very calm.
"It's easy to arrest people. There are more than a thousand shepherds. With so many people, don't some of them get up at night to relieve themselves? We can sneakily arrest two people when the patrols are not there. It's very simple .
The place for interrogation is also easy. We can take the arrested people to the east of Qingqing Gorge, where the Han army is active. Even if we leave the bodies there, no one will dare to go there to check. Even if they see them, they will only suspect that it was done by the Han army who sneaked over, not us. As for the result of
the inquiry, whether it is right or wrong, I can take them to hide in the mountains. We have knives and bows and arrows in our hands. We won't starve to death even if we hunt. At most, we can hide for some time. Shit, if what I guessed just now is right, it means that the Han army didn't want to make things difficult for us. I have some friendship with the Han tribe. At that time, I can take these people to the Han army and let the Han army let us go home.
If my guess is wrong, the Han army really wants to kill us all. Anyway, we can't beat them. At most, we can hide for a while, and then find a way to make a raft to the grassland across the sea. There is a way to survive. "
Xun Ge'er spoke very logically and even planned for the worst result. Most people nodded and agreed to do so, but some of them didn't want to leave their hometown. With a glimmer of luck, they decided to stay and not participate in the action.
But the old man who raised objections one after another stood up this time.
"Okay, since you have already thought of all the escape routes for everyone, I will also lend a hand to you. Although I am not as good at fighting as you young people, I can still stand guard for you. Even if you are desperate and want to escape to the grassland in the future, I can find a better way for you. Let's go, young people, I will be worried if I don't watch you."
"Wait a minute."
Everyone saw that the old man had agreed and was about to set off, but unexpectedly someone stopped them again. As a result, they looked back and saw that it was Xun Ge'er who stopped them this time. Everyone was immediately puzzled. What happened?
But at this time, Xun Ge'er suddenly bowed to the old man and said, "Old man, you'd better not go to arrest and interrogate people. Even if something happens, we young people will run faster. Instead of asking you to help us keep watch, it's better to let you stay in the camp, so that we don't have to worry about it!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and some of them didn't understand what it meant, but the old man understood it in seconds. Originally, he planned to escape with this group of young people. In fact, it didn't matter to him what the Han tribe was like. He just wanted to escape and live. Although he was old, he couldn't stop being afraid of death.
But now Xun Ge'er actually asked him to stay to guard the barracks and solve everyone's worries. Isn't this because he was afraid that the remaining people in the barracks would expose and inform on them? I have to say that this is indeed possible. It's not a question of which side you are leaning towards, but some people are born timid. When they are deceived, they will inevitably reveal their true colors. At this time, it will be much better to have a respected old man watching over them. At least nothing will happen before they escape, so that even if they run away, they can run away with peace of mind.
The old man was stunned for a few breaths, and his mind was struggling for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas, I'm old and can't help you. Whatever, let me guard this back road for you, and you can go with peace of mind."
Everyone was puzzled and didn't understand what the two were talking about. Even if there were people who understood, they didn't say anything at this time.
After the discussion, there were 15 people who decided to set off. Some were good at hunting, some were good at catching fish, some were good at paddling bamboo rafts, and some were good at herding sheep and feeding horses. Of course, there were also people who could speak Chinese and grassland languages. These were all preparations made in advance for the last time they had to run away.
Everyone packed up their weapons, and when the patrol passed by the barracks again, they quietly went out, circling along the way, avoiding the patrols, which were few in number, and other tents, and slowly moved towards the periphery of the grassland soldiers' camp.
When they arrived, everyone hid behind a dark bush, and indeed found that some grassland soldiers came out of the felt tents from time to time to relieve themselves.
This group of pure grassland people had eaten a lot today, and Tiezhen even deliberately arranged some sour corn that had gone bad for them, but these guys grew up drinking yogurt and eating sour cheese, and they didn't taste the problem with the corn. But at night, the frequency of diarrhea began to increase.
Xun Ge'er covered his nose to block the stench that came with the wind, and whispered to the people around him, "Let's find a few people who look timid, so that we can interrogate them when the time comes. There are fifteen of us, five people in a group, and we will catch one person each, a total of three people, and then go over there together.
Remember, you must not make any noise. If the other party breaks free, kill him immediately, and then quickly escape to the place we said, and wait for others to come and think of a solution together. Do you understand?"
The ten or so people around nodded, and those who didn't understand also had people around them to relay it to them. After a while, all fifteen people understood the action plan, and then they began to form groups with people they knew, and everyone dispersed and waited to find their own targets.
Xun Ge'er said that he would find the timid ones to attack. Originally, there was no way to tell whether they were timid or not, but now was an exception.
While everyone was waiting for the target, some grassland soldiers ran out to go to the toilet. Some of them walked carelessly, and even didn't bother to open their eyes. When they arrived at the place, they took off their pants and squatted down to fire cannons. However, some people were scared to death when they went out to the toilet at night. They looked around and suspected that a ghost would suddenly appear. This was a typical coward. If they scared him, they would definitely ask him when he was weaned.
So, after determining the target, a five-man team was finally ready to take action.
One of them was holding a piece of thick linen that had been folded several times. Suddenly, he came out from behind the grassland soldier who was squatting on the ground to relieve himself, looking at ghosts everywhere, and stretched out his hand to cover his mouth with the thick linen.
The grassland soldier was startled and scared to death, thinking that there was a ghost coming to take his life. He opened his mouth to shout, but his mouth was tightly covered, so he could only make a low whine. Just as he was trying his best to resist, four black shadows jumped out of the bushes next to him again. One of them held one of his hands and feet, and another covered his head. The five of them didn't even tie him up, but just carried him away.
Seeing how skillful and successful they were, the other two groups relaxed a little. After finding their targets, they also took action and kidnapped a living person each.
