Kai Fu Han

Chapter 188 Fishing in troubled waters
The characters below are divided by lines as thin as wheat awns, called "miao"; the character "miao" is composed of "禾" and "小", where "禾" refers to wheat and "shao" refers to tiny awns.It cannot be drawn for less than a second, so it can only be explained by saying "as thin as spider silk", which is called "sudden".

The word "suddenly" suddenly refers to a very short period of time, and suddenly refers to change. The combined meaning is that there has been a change in a very short period of time.

No matter how finely divided the time unit is, it is useless without accurate timing tools. Therefore, the smallest time unit commonly used by ordinary people is "quarter", which can be accurate to minutes at most. If a smaller time unit is needed, "breath" will be used, that is, one minute. The time it takes to take a breath.

Zhao Liang used the unit of "minutes" because the Xinghan League made precise time units. Liu Xinqi followed the concept of time in later generations and based on a quarter of an hour equals 15 minutes and one breath equals six seconds, he divided one minute into fifty breaths. Generally, The number of soldiers who can count to fifty breaths is almost the limit. Any more and the error will be very large.

Therefore, the time units used by Xinghan League are days, hours, quarters, minutes, and breaths.

When Liu Zhimu was doing scientific research, he would sometimes need more precise units, so he would use seconds, one breath for six seconds.

After a wave of guards passed by holding torches,

Zhao Liang counted twenty breaths silently in his mind.

"go!"

The three of them immediately rushed out of the hiding place, rushed to the corner of the wall in five breaths, stepped on the wall to gain strength, and then climbed up the wall. According to the interrogation of Yuchi Jian during the day, it was learned that there was a sundry yard inside the wall. Various tools and miscellaneous items.

I looked into the yard and when I saw no one was there, I immediately jumped off the wall.

It took a total of ten breaths to enter Wang Boyan's mansion again.

Just as he was about to walk in, Zhao Liang suddenly stopped and looked towards the corner of the small yard. He saw a kennel in the corner and a wolfdog tied beside the kennel.

The dog had woken up at this time and looked in the direction of Zhao Liang and the others.

"Whizzing!"

Two crossbow arrows were fired directly at the dog.

The other two soldiers also saw the dog and directly pulled the trigger of the crossbow in their hands.

"Wang!"

Before being shot, the wolfdog still barked.

"Come quickly! Someone has come in from the utility yard." There was a shout immediately outside the yard.

"Withdraw!" Climb up the wall again. In the distance, there is already a squadron (10 people) of the Forbidden Army patrolling this way.

Zhao Liang and the others did not dare to delay any longer and jumped off the wall directly.

"Who? Stand still!"

Although the Forbidden Army could not see it, they could hear strange noises here, so they immediately gave a warning and ran over quickly.

Of course, Zhao Liang and the others would not stand still and ran away quickly, hiding and avoiding the night patrolmen along the way, and returned to the rental house.

Zhao Liang was silent all the way. When he returned to the room, he sat directly at the square table, picked up the kettle, poured a bowl of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

"****"

A curse word in Hebei Road dialect was uttered, and the depressing atmosphere finally eased a little.

Since joining the Xinghan League, everything has been smooth sailing, but I didn't expect to encounter a big problem with Wang Boyan.

"Captain, what should we do if we come down? Do we still need to 'remind' Wang Boyan?"

A soldier asked, Today's actions show that just the three of them cannot come and go freely in Wang Boyan's mansion as Wanyan Zongjun said.Zhao Liang overestimated the combat power of his own men, and underestimated his power as the right prime minister of a country and how much he cherished his own life.

If Zhao Liang hadn't retreated decisively just now, he would have been surrounded by guards inside and outside the mansion soon, with his head and six arms useless.

"It seems like this won't be possible in the near future. We can only wait until Wang Boyan relaxes before trying again." Zhao Liang estimated.

Then he looked at Yuchi Jian and considered how to deal with this person.

Just when he decided to take him back to Dengzhou, Yuchijian unexpectedly took the initiative to speak:
"Actually, you are over the top."

When Yuchi Jian saw the way Zhao Liang looked at him, he thought he was going to kill someone and silence him, so he quickly offered his advice.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Liang asked.

"It's not that it's convenient to do things at night. Wang Boyan must also know that there will be opportunities for you at night, so he will definitely strengthen his defense at night. If you change your thinking, there are also opportunities during the day." Yuchijian said.

"Where is the chance?" Zhao Liang wondered. Those soldiers were stationed around Wang Boyan's mansion, and there were many people there during the day.

"Wang Boyan has strengthened the security of his residence, but he certainly cannot go to war and heavily guard the whole city. After all, he is not an official, and the use of official weapons for private purposes cannot be excessive. Moreover, he has an official position and needs to go to the Yangzhou Palace for work. This is your opportunity on the way back and forth." Yuchi Jian said.

"That's right! At our speed, if we rob someone and run away, they won't be able to catch up on horseback." A soldier said in surprise.

"According to what you say, Wang Boyan will definitely know that there is a weak point on the way back and forth, so he will definitely have many guards following him." Zhao Liang questioned.

"No matter how many there are, how many people can be stationed in the mansion? And there are many people on the street during the day, so you can fish in troubled waters." Yuchijian suggested again.

Zhao Liang felt that what he said made sense and decided to give it a try. Moreover, they only planned to "remind" Wang Boyan and did not need to actually hijack him, so the difficulty would be much lower.

At around 25 o'clock on August 5, Zhao Liang and the other two men split up. Zhao Liang, the only one who had seen Wang Boyan, stared at the Wang Mansion. Then, after Wang Boyan went out, he followed the route to the palace in Yangzhou, while the other two soldiers followed Wang Boyan. Yangzhou City carried out intensive sweeps and mapping to prepare for subsequent planning operations and retreat routes.

At 25:18 on August [-], Zhao Liang followed Wang Boyan's motorcade back to Wang's Mansion from afar and then returned to the rental house.

There was a bad smell as soon as I entered the door.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Yuchi's sword was pulled down his pants.

Yuchi Jian's face turned red with shame, but he didn't dare to be angry with Zhao Liang, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zhao Liang stepped forward and untied the rope from his body, then gave him a set of his own change of clothes and asked him to wash by the stream outside the house.

"Don't even think about running away. If we catch you, you won't get a second chance." Zhao Liang warned.

"No." After Yuchi Jian agreed, he quickly went out to clean up.

After waiting for a while, the two soldiers came back from outside one after another and brought some food.

The three of them and Yuchi Jian, who had finished cleaning, finished eating and drinking, and then sat together to discuss the action plan.

It wasn't until late at night that we discussed the three plans, and we will only confirm them after seeing them in person tomorrow.

On August 26, Zhao Liang and the others inspected all three action locations and finally decided on two plans: a primary one and a secondary one.

The action location of the main plan is located next to a market. This market is a market. There are many shops on the street. People come and go, and the flow of people is very dense, making it convenient to move.
