Chapter 209 (1/2)
Hiding under the carriage was Wei zhanmei's temporary intention, but it was not an impulse.
He looked very carefully as the two carriages entered at the gate and were examined. He noticed that although the soldiers did not omit the procedures and steps of inspection, they may not have happened for a long time, so it is inevitable that the process will become a mere formality and formality.
For example, squatting down to check the bottom of the car just means that you don't lie low enough to see the whole picture under the car.
For another example, if you sweep with a long gun, you will still not see the situation under the car body.
Because of this, the two stronghold soldiers didn't find anyone under the car. When they pulled with their guns, Wei zhanmei and Ji Yu let go and fell to the ground. The loading body was wide, and the people nearby couldn't find it, and the body of the long gun couldn't touch their bodies.
Wei zhanmei came here. Except for the half long white chopping double knives and concealed weapon bags hidden in his chest, he didn't carry unnecessary cumbersome things such as Bing iron flying grasp. He was bold, careful and experienced, and had no voice to rise and fall. Ji Yu carries a sword, but she has good skills and timing.
Although the long gun almost touched the bodies of the two lying on the ground when it rippled against the bottom of the car, it was not exposed in the end.
When the long gun was withdrawn, they reached out to hook the bottom of the car and attached themselves to it, and went into Yan Jiazhai with the carriage.
When Wei zhanmei saw that the inspection was not meticulous enough and there were loopholes, he decided to take a risk, add some luck and finally pass the risk, otherwise he would not dare to adopt this method.
They calmed down in the hiding place and began to search in the stockade.
There should be two checkpoints: suspension bridge and Neizhai. In particular, the guard in Neizhai is tight. Therefore, the guard in the Zhai is very lax. There are few Ming posts and no secret whistle. Only the night patrol team with lanterns occasionally appears on the road, which is easy to avoid.
The two sneaked in, and Wei zhanmei led Ji Yu to a high and low position along the corner.
According to Wei zhanmei's experience, most of the warehouses for storing things are built in the second half of the stockade. As long as you find a place with relatively tight protection, you may find a place to hide treasures.
After searching for a long time, he found several warehouses. After judging that the place where ordinary living goods and ordinary materials were stacked was excluded, Wei zhanmei locked his target in the northwest corner of the stronghold.
There is no open sentry here, and it looks very humble outside. Ji Yu didn't see anything strange when he first passed by. Wei zhanmei was suspicious when he inadvertently found a hidden secret sentry.
After repeatedly observing and confirming, they found four hidden piles around, and saw that the care here was obviously tighter than that in other places, so they squatted patiently for a while, and finally saw clearly that this was the entrance of a cellar when changing posts.
Is this the treasure house of military pay?
Wei zhanmei wants to go in and find out. However, five dark piles are scattered, forming a cross line of sight without dead corners. Bypassing one place can't hide the second and third place. Bullying or using concealed weapons can solve one or two people, but it's not easy to kill all dark piles without making any sound.
After thinking for a long time, Wei zhanmei quietly backed away with Ji Yu.
He gave up his intention to enter. Anyway, Yan Jiazhai is weird. Just go back and report it to Hu Shiwei. Let him decide whether to take the team up the mountain openly or conduct further investigation in private.
Wei zhanmei has other places to visit. We can't delay here too long. Besides, there are military arrangements everywhere here. It's hard to get away if you're not careful. It's better to search again and find a way to leave.
He told Ji Yu about his plans. Ji Yu said, ”it's exciting to go into the mountain ahead, but it's over? Tiger head and snake tail, retreat in the face of difficulties. That's how your embroidered clothes guard works for the imperial court?”
Wei zhanmei turned his eyes: ”what else to do? If the reconnaissance is successful, I don't know your Highness's opinion?”
Ji Yu tilted his head and thought, ”since it's a cellar, our Qingchuan Palace also has ice cellars and other underground warehouses. I've been to play. There are usually ventilating skylights and openings in such places. We can't go to the door. We can try to find the vents.”
Wei zhanmei just asked casually. Unexpectedly, Ji Yu really made a good move and flattered: ”well, the princess is wise, good idea. At the end, I will act according to the plan.”
Ji Yu glanced: ”that's right. It's Zizi's credit to cross the suspension bridge. You came up with a way to enter the stronghold. Now it's time for the princess to take the lead. You ignorant earth buns, naturally don't know the mystery of the Royal cellar.”
Wei zhanmei can only say nothing.
They detoured up the earth mountain from the side and turned to the position above the cellar, where there were dense thorns and trees, but there was no trace of people.
After groping in the dark for a long time, they really found a vent covered by shrubs.
The vent is not big. There is an iron grille embedded in the rock. People can't get in. Wei zhanmei probes hard and pries it with a white chopper. He doesn't move. He shakes his head.
Ji Yu pushed him away: ”get out of the way. You men can't do this job. You'd better see the princess.”
She drew out the long sword and pressed it one by one, and the iron fence broke. It looked no different from an ordinary sword, but it was a sword that cut iron like mud.
Wei zhanmei swallowed his saliva. It's a royal thing. The common people can't compare it.
The two fell to the ground from the air vent. After their eyes got used to the darkness inside, they swam around to confirm that there was no one. Wei zhanmei took out his portable fire fold and lit it.
The cellar covers a large area and is full of large wooden boxes piled high. Ji Yu took over the fire folding, and Wei zhanmei pried open the board with a knife. Their eyes were startled, and they opened several boxes one after another, which contained almost the same things.
It's not gold bricks, silver ingots and jewelry, but all kinds of long and short weapons and arrows!
This is an arsenal!
The Yan family was born in the army and was allowed to maintain the stronghold soldiers privately. It's not surprising that they have knives and guns, but looking at the cellar, if they are armed, they can arm a team of thousands of people at least.
Hiding a large number of armaments is, this is the rhythm of rebellion!
