Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Until the moon reached its zenith, the two of them carefully observed the movements of the soldiers patrolling back and forth. The light of the torches swayed in the night sky, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.

I don't know if it's because they feel safe in their own territory, so the soldiers don't patrol very often.

Carefully observe and note the patrol routes and patterns of the soldiers, and find out the short intervals in the patrol time. Lin Xiaoyue took advantage of this gap and pulled Xiaocao, and the two rushed out silently like agile cheetahs.

Xiaocao followed closely behind Lin Xiaoyue, keeping his body as low as possible, taking advantage of the undulating terrain and the cover of shadows, moving forward quickly along the planned route, and being extremely cautious with every step.

Fortunately, the two of them passed through the dangerous area quickly and safely.

The night was quiet and silent, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind, only the two of them were left walking in the shadows of the darkness, groping their way to the weakly defended city wall, using bows and crossbows to shoot out climbing hooks, hooking onto the battlements of the city wall, and quickly climbing up along the ropes, climbing over the wall to enter the city...

Although the two were not familiar with the terrain of the city, the pattern of rich east, noble west, poor south and desolate north seemed to be applicable everywhere in this dynasty.

Even if you don't know the exact location of the residence of the garrison leader, just look for the largest building with guards at the door.

Sure enough, following this clue, the two soon found the residence of the leader of the enemy garrison.

The patrols around the mansion were quite strict, but they were not troublesome at all.

The two found a good position and climbed over the wall to enter.

The corridors in the palace are winding, and patrolling soldiers pass by from time to time.

Lin Xiaoyue skillfully used the shadows and buildings to lead Xiaocao through the huge mansion, taking every step carefully. The nervous heartbeat seemed to be particularly clear in the silent night.

Finally, the two of them made their way to the heavily guarded study. Looking at the two teams of soldiers patrolling back and forth outside the study, as well as the two guards standing at the door, they inexplicably felt that there was something fishy going on.

Lin Xiaoyue and Xiaocao hid behind the rockery and observed carefully for a while. They found that the patrol team in the study was different from the patrol team outside and was much more rigorous than the patrol team outside.

As for the patrol team responsible for the entire mansion, they had not made their second patrol in at least the past quarter of an hour since they hid behind the rockery.

In other words, as long as he waited for the patrol team outside to pass by again and dealt with the patrolman in charge of the study, he could at least buy himself and Xiaocao a quarter of an hour to search the study thoroughly.

The two men held their breath and waited quietly until the patrol outside passed by. Then they took out a piece of knockout incense from their arms and flicked it lightly. The knockout incense fell accurately next to the guard. After a while, the guard fell down limply.

Wow, it turns out that Chunxing’s products are of the highest quality.

Seeing that this method was effective, the two men followed suit. After knocking out the two patrol teams in charge of the study, they dragged them all behind the rockery and hid them.

After entering the study, the two of them quickly searched the bookshelves and desks.

Soon, the careful Xiaocao discovered important correspondence mixed in with the books on the bookshelf, as well as a military deployment map with marked military defense layout.

Due to time constraints, Lin Xiaoyue only took a quick glance and found that they were letters between the leader of the garrison here and General Qian, the rebel general of Dayuan.

Lin Xiaoyue only glanced at it and then put the letter into the space, thinking that she would send someone to deliver it to the Seventh Uncle after returning and let the Seventh Uncle deal with it.

The two of them patiently flipped through it again, and sure enough, they found a pull ring behind the mural. Xiaocao tried pulling it hard, but the pull ring didn't move at all.

Lin Xiaoyue patted her on the shoulder and told her to go aside, then she started to pull hard. Immediately, a series of "clicking" sounds were heard, and the bookshelf full of books moved to the side, revealing a secret passage behind that was big enough for one person to pass through sideways.

Lin Xiaoyue and Xiaocao looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

As expected, after entering, I saw a treasure house of about ten square meters, filled with gold, silver and treasures.

Lin Xiaoyue clicked her tongue repeatedly, as if accusing General Tiansheng of his extravagant life.

After three years of clearing the magistrate's office, he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.

It seems that the garrison commander of a small Sangguo town on the Tiansheng border is also a scoundrel who exploits the people.

Xiao Cao covered her pounding heart, turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoyue eagerly, her eyes full of silent questions: What should we do? There are so many treasures, and there are only two of them, how can they get them back? If I had known earlier, I would have brought more people.

It's really heartbreaking.

Lin Xiaoyue burst out laughing at Xiaocao's expression, and casually grabbed a round and plump necklace with soft luster and put it on Xiaocao, and took two gold hairpins inlaid with dazzling gems and put them on her hair. Then she whispered in her ear, "Xiaocao, Sister San Ya will perform a magic trick for you?"

Xiaocao:......

The next moment, Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand, and under Xiaocao's horrified gaze, all the gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room disappeared.

Xiaocao rubbed his eyes hard, looked blankly at the empty treasure house, then looked at Lin Xiaoyue, his mouth opened so wide that a big egg could fit in it.

This this……

Xiao Cao was in a dream, and Ya Ma was stunned. How could this be possible? She couldn't believe her eyes. Was she still asleep? Or was she hallucinating? ? ?

Lin Xiaoyue patted Xiaocao's shoulder with amusement to wake her up.

She was right about this girl. Although everyone except the Lin sisters knew that she had a magical storage bag that could hide things, even if they had doubts about Lin Xiaoyue's unusual behavior, they never asked her about it.

Among them, Xiaocao can be said to be the person Lin Xiaoyue trusts the most besides the Lin sisters.

Just like now, although Lin Xiaoyue's actions had the risk of exposing her abnormality, Xiaocao did not disappoint her.

At this moment, Xiaocao's eyes showed shock, horror, and confusion, but there was no greed in them.

"Let's go, silly girl. You can be surprised slowly when you get back." Lin Xiaoyue rubbed Xiaocao's hair with amusement, took her hand and walked out of the secret passage.

Xiao Cao was held by Lin Xiaoyue's hand in a daze. After walking for several steps, Xiao Cao suddenly stopped as if she had come to her senses. She held Lin Xiaoyue's hand and said solemnly, "Sister San... Sister San Ya, Xiao Cao will never tell this secret to anyone even if she dies. I swear, if I ever reveal Sister San Ya's secret, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death. Sister San Ya, please believe me."

Lin Xiaoyue was suddenly grabbed by Xiaocao, and started swearing at him. Lin Xiaoyue didn't have time to stop him.

Regardless of the fact that the ancients attached great importance to oaths, once they made an oath, it meant that they were willing to accept some form of punishment or retribution.
