Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 666: Waiting for the Rabbit, Caught Red-Handed

It was a dark and windy night. The fiefdom was mostly plains, and the strong wind made a whistling sound when it passed by.

The flags on the watchtower were fluttering, and the soldiers who were changing shifts stood there, holding red tasseled spears, motionless.

All the tents fell into a deep sleep, and occasionally soldiers lined up, holding torches, and patrolled around the camp.

In the trench, a baffle was removed, and two people secretly poked their heads out. They had been hiding here for most of the day, since the end of training in the evening, and had been hiding well.

Now, the time to act has finally arrived.

The patrol video walked away, and the two men climbed out of the trench, buried their bodies in the knee-high grass, and crawled towards the river.

With the arrival of the rainy season, the stars and the moon are obscured by dark clouds, and the situation on the ground is almost invisible. Even if lanterns and torches are lit on the watchtower, they can only illuminate a small area.

They successfully submerged themselves in the water, swam to the other side of the river, scrambled to the shore, and then continued to crawl in the grass.

After they had crawled to a safe distance, they stood up and ran towards the back of a hill.

The sentry on the watchtower seemed to hear some movement: "What's that sound?"

Another sentry took a good look around and said, "It could be a rat, or it could be a snake. It's not unusual in this season."

They are guarding so tightly and there are patrols, no one can escape on their own.

The two soldiers ran behind the hill, felt relieved, and sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Finally safe! We've been so vigilant! It took so much effort to find this opportunity."

Another person asked, "Have you memorized all those formations? When we get to the villagers' homes, we'll have to draw them out before we let the carrier pigeons take them away."

"Don't worry, she trains every day, how could she not remember? Damn, this princess is really amazing, she can easily come up with a formation. I can't imagine how much damage it would do if it were used on the battlefield."

The first person was a little silent.

"We will be punished for doing this. We are the people of Daze Country. The group leader treats us well, but we have become the running dogs of another country because of bribery. What if our descendants are wiped out——"

"That's enough. Stop saying such depressing things. One piece of information will earn you 1,000 taels of silver. If you come a few more times, your family won't have to worry for several lifetimes. There are big families and small families. We are just thinking more about our small family. If a person doesn't care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. What's wrong with that?"

"How long are we going to do this? If we keep going, there's always the danger of being discovered."

"Five or six times is enough. This is the third time. If we do it two more times, our family will have saved up five thousand taels. We won't do anything risky like this anymore. We'll continue to stay in the barracks. It would be impressive if we could become a soldier someday. As long as we perform well here, we'll have a chance."

The two of them had rested enough and made up their minds to move on.

"The princess didn't realize that our camp has such a huge demand for mail delivery. Many villagers have pigeons at home. As long as we find a carrier pigeon heading north and land there, and then change the carrier pigeon and route, we can receive the letter there as well."

"What's the point of just guarding the exits? Pigeons fly to the sky. Even if you block everywhere, there will always be a loophole."

To be safe, the two did not choose the nearest village with carrier pigeons, but bypassed several villages and went to a farther village.

It was a dark night when someone knocked on Old Li's door.

"Who is it? It's the middle of the night." A confused voice came from inside the room.

"Lao Li, we are soldiers from the camp, here to send a letter."

"You're still mailing a letter so late." Old Li put on his clothes and muttered, "Should I prepare some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone?"

"need."

After Lao Li prepared these, the two of them started writing. Recently, four formations were produced, and they each wrote two. Occasionally, they would look outside vigilantly. Everything was quiet, the whole village was asleep, and there was only the occasional barking of a dog or two.

After writing, they wrapped the letter in a bamboo tube and sealed it with mud. In order to avoid mistakes along the way, they asked to use two carrier pigeons.

Old Li took the mailbox and tied it to the pigeon's leg. The two of them kept an eye on him to prevent him from doing anything wrong.

Seeing that Lao Li was about to release the pigeons, they began to relax.

However, Lao Li just held the two pigeons, stroked their backs with his hands, and looked thoughtful.

"Old Li, what are you doing? Why don't you let it fly?" A soldier felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he walked over quickly and tried to snatch the pigeon from Old Li's hand.

Old Li smiled, and what he said made the two men tremble with fear.

"Oh, how can we let this pigeon fly? If it flies to the enemy country, it will reveal the secrets of the camp."

"This is your evidence of guilt."

The two were shocked and looked around subconsciously. Old Li was just a peasant, but he dared to say such words, which meant that he was not the only one here.

Sure enough, there were hurried noises all around. In the dark night, under the dim light of a dim lamp in the yard, more than a dozen figures rushed out from all directions. They arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye and held down the two men who had no time to react.

Old Li happily handed the two carrier pigeons in his hand to the soldiers.

"You guys have been hiding here with me every night, and I finally got you my chance."

That's right, every household that raises pigeons has been registered. This time, not only is the camp undergoing blockade training and soldiers are prohibited from going out, but these households that raise pigeons have also sent people to guard them and wait for the opportunity.

"Sorry to trouble you, Old Li." The soldier threw a piece of silver to Old Li.

Old Li held the silver coins in his hand and bowed respectfully, "This is what I should do. Catching spies is also beneficial to us ordinary people. These thieves defect to the enemy and sell military information. If the enemy invades one day and uses the Daze Kingdom's formation, we ordinary people will suffer more."

A figure wearing a black cloak came in from outside the yard, and the night gave her a layer of mystery.

The soldiers made way and saluted respectfully with their fists clasped.

"The county lord."

Qiao Jianer took off her cloak, revealing her fair and cold face. Her eyes were like cold ponds, and her emotions could not be seen, but they made people feel scared.

The soldier handed the letter he had taken from the pigeon's leg to Qiao Jian'er and turned the torch over to him. Qiao Jian'er took a look at the content.

"Not bad at all, worthy of being my subordinate. It seems that they haven't slacked off in their usual training."

The two soldiers were pale and trembling. They knew very clearly that it was over, completely over.

All glory and wealth are empty, they can't even save your life.

"Take him to the military camp for interrogation." After saying this, Qiao Jianer walked out of the yard and disappeared into the night.

The two soldiers were immediately taken back to the barracks and thrown into the front yard of the central army camp.

These days, the men of the Qiao family did not go home and slept in the camp, until finally the spy was brought back.

They were a little suspicious that the person who dared to do such a bold thing should be a general.

I never thought that they were just two ordinary soldiers whose faces I couldn't remember at all.
