Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 405 I hope the judgment is correct

The stars twinkled and wavered.

The mountains and forests were eerily quiet that night, and the only sound between heaven and earth seemed to be the sound of the wind blowing through clothes.

In this extreme silence, the movement of soldiers and armor in the distance was clearly audible.

Zhang Jin led his brothers to follow Captain Jiao's team at a distance, but at this moment, he pulled back the reins.

Zhou Yi beside him whispered: "Vice General Zhang, something is wrong. Jiao Xiaowei's team and Xue Huaizu's troops were supposed to meet, but when we thought we were about to meet, they headed to two different places."

"On one side are the local garrison troops, and on the other side are the people sent by Xue Huaizu. Whose destination is the hidden warehouse? Who should we believe?"

Zhang Jin was in a dilemma for a while. If it were Miss Bai, he would definitely be able to judge which one was true and which one was false based on the current situation, but he couldn't.

Xue Huaizu sent out only about 100 people. These people were basically servants he summoned from various Zhuangzi. It was not yet confirmed whether they were close confidants.

It was probably a servant sent out randomly to confuse the public.

Jiao Xiaowei's troops numbered about 1000, each wearing armor and holding swords, and set off in full gear.

From the outside, it seems that Captain Jiao's side is more reliable.

However, the things Jiang Shan transported from Qiang City were delivered directly to Xue Huaizu's pocket and not to Jiao Xiaowei.

Therefore, it was not certain whether it was Jiao Xiaowei who was responsible for transporting it or Xue Huaizu's people. This made Zhang Jin dare not jump to conclusions and led his brothers to follow Jiao Xiaowei.

Now there are only more than 700 brothers under his command, and dividing the troops into two groups to fight against them is equivalent to dispersing the combat effectiveness.

Once the actual number of people on Xue Huaizu's side is more than the current 100 or so, no matter which side is discovered, the brothers will be in danger.

Zhang Jin was caught in a conflict for a while and didn't know what to choose.

Because every decision he makes affects whether the mission can be successfully completed.

At this time, a companion whispered something in Zhou Yi's ear. Zhou Yi lowered his voice and told him: "Vice General Zhang, Mr. Jiang's convoy has been divided into several groups and set off from various towns. Now it has sneaked into the mountains and forests. He I want to know the destination of the convoy.”

Zhang Jin took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

He tried his best to calm down and whispered: "Hold the lamp."

Zhou Yi lit the fire seal and saw the map Zhang Jin opened.

Zhang Jin's finger slowly slid on the map: "The direction Captain Jiao went to is this way, and the direction Xue Huaizu's men and horses went is this way. According to the road, if they keep walking, they will be gone in an hour." Left and right, meet here."

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "What are they doing there?"

Zhang Jin's eyes suddenly condensed: "This is..."

Zhou Yi replied: "This is a dock. The water from the Lanyi River comes and converges with the streams in all directions. It is already possible to sail boats here."

Zhang Jin was shocked: "These thieves are so good!"

Zhou Yi asked: "Vice General Zhang, what did you see?"

Zhang Jin said: "Whether it is Jiao Xiaowei or Xue Huaizu, how are they different from us?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "There is no difference, they are all sending out troops."

Zhang Jin told him: "But, we have Mr. Jiang and the convoy, do they?" Zhou Yi suddenly realized: "You mean, these two groups of people are not here to transport?"

Zhang Jin analyzed: "I suspect they want to transport things by water. Water transport is faster than land transport, and ships carry much more cargo than horse-drawn carriages. A dozen ships are not noticeable at all. This is an excellent choice."

"Captain Jiao's role here is not to transport, but to protect. In order to prevent their belongings from being robbed, he found an excuse to mobilize the garrison. Once someone wants to take action on this batch of belongings, they will be treated as robbers. Colonel Jiao led his troops to encircle and suppress them."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized: "No wonder these days, everything revolves around 'robbers'. If our actions are exposed tonight, we will be regarded as 'robbers' and attacked by the garrison."

Zhang Jin nodded: "Yes, under the cover of suppressing bandits, you can not only deceive your subordinates, but also the people. I'm afraid that in the end, the garrison troops will not know that what they are doing is not suppressing bandits."

Zhou Yi asked: "So Vice General Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Jin closed the map and said: "Xue Huaizu's people don't need to do the loading, but the people guarding the secret warehouse and the fleet, so he doesn't need to send too many people."

"In my opinion, these more than 100 people were sent by him to communicate with the people guarding the warehouse and the people in the fleet. They should be close confidants."

"Or maybe these people don't know that their boss is transporting stolen goods, and they only think that they are transporting grain to be sold. After all, their boss has countless fields in their name, so selling grain is normal."

Zhou Yi was extremely shocked: "No wonder their activities have not been discovered for so many years. They are escorted by the garrison. In addition, Xue Huaizu is a merchant. No one would suspect them of transporting goods like this."

Zhang Jin nodded: "So, what we have to do next is to get the seeds before the things are transported away, notify Mr. Jiang, and tell him to meet near this dock."

Zhou Yi asked: "What to do with these garrison troops? If they keep wandering around here, we will probably be discovered."

Zhang Jin frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "Du Chenggang sent us a signal, saying that the captured companions have been rescued, and it won't take long for Miss Bai to join us."

"Before Miss Bai arrives, what we have to do is to carefully avoid Captain Jiao's team, follow Xue Huaizu's people, and find the seeds. We will not fight unless it is absolutely necessary."

Zhou Yi nodded: "My subordinates will do it now!"

Zhang Jin has a lively mind, is alert, and has strong execution ability. Bai Mingwei was able to assign people to him because he took a fancy to his talent.

But he hasn't experienced too many major events, so when he makes a few decisions, he is always trembling with fear and has no confidence at all.

At this moment, he tightened his grip on the reins and thought uneasily: I hope my judgment is right...

……

At the same time, Bai Mingwei led the pursuers deep into the mountains and forests.

She cut off the reins and dozens of horses scattered, running in all directions.

She took Yin Lan into a mountain col and hid it. Not long after, the pursuers passed her and Yin Lan and scattered in the mountains and forests in order to follow the traces of the horses.

Seeing that the pursuers were already some distance away from her, she mounted Yin Lan and took a different path, preparing to turn back and join Zhang Jin and the others.

There is no moon in the sky, only thousands of shining stars gathered together to form a dazzling galaxy.

Under the dark blue sky, there are shadows of dead branches and grass, and the darkness is like an animal with teeth and claws.

The wind brushed against the dead branches and pine leaves, making a roaring sound.

Between heaven and earth, a horse gallops along the mountain road with lightning speed.

After running like this for more than ten miles, at a huge corner, she ran into a team head-on.
