The secret war is silent

"Swimming in the lake, it's winter, what lake are you swimming in?"

"You're not going?"

"I..." Gong Hui hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help taking a step forward with her legs and followed.

…

"What are you talking about? These two people rented a boat and went for a lake cruise?" At Tianxian Hotel, when Yu Jie heard the report from his secretary Liao Xia, he almost spit a sip of hot tea in his face.

Liao Xia's face was sly.

"What do they think of this mission? Are they here for a sightseeing tour?" Yu Jie was a little annoyed. These two people were too outrageous.

"Director, do you want to send someone to warn them?"

"What are you warning? If you send someone to warn them, doesn't that mean you are telling them that there are people following them to monitor their actions along the way?" Yu Jie glared at Liao Xia angrily.

"What about the rest?"

"They seem to have sent people to infiltrate a Baxiang opera troupe. Tomorrow, on New Year's Eve, this troupe will sing a opera at the entrance of the Yin family's mansion until late at night. It is considered an annual sealing opera." Liao Xia replied.

"Finally, someone used some brains and came up with this solution." Yu Jie nodded in appreciation. This was the only bright spot.

…

"Boatman, can you rent this boat to us for a few more days?" Luo Yao came to the dock and called the boatman ashore and asked.

"Guest, how many days do you want to rent?"

"Three to five days, no more than a week at most."

"One week, it's almost the New Year..." The boatman is a little embarrassed. After a hard year, who doesn't want to stay up with his family on New Year's Eve?

"Don't worry, if it delays your family reunion, I will pay you three times the rent. What do you think?" Luo Yao asked kindly.

"Is that so, guest, do you come to the lake every day?" the boatman asked strangely.

"I still have a few friends who will come to Yueyang in two days. They want to swim in Dongting Lake first, and then go south along the Xiangjiang River to Xiangcheng." Luo Yao said, "This trip will probably take three days. About five days.”

"It's a little early to visit the lake this season. If we wait until spring next year, the scenery will be different." The boatman said sarcastically, but when he talked about the spring beauty of Dongting Lake, he was filled with an unspeakable sense of pride.

"They are just idle, can you just say that?"

"Sure, as long as the price you give me is right, there's nothing wrong with us living on the water. I'm familiar with the waterway to Xiangcheng." The boatman thought about it for a while and agreed, "But this is a Chinese New Year. , you have to give a deposit first.”

"no problem."

"Why are you renting a boat?" Gong Hui didn't understand, but she didn't plan Luo Yao's behavior. Through the previous incidents, she discovered that Luo Yao's actions seemed to be without rules and logic, but they all had deep meanings.

"We can't just walk to Xiangcheng, right?"

"Isn't there a train? It's faster and cheaper if you take the train?"

"The train station is in Yueyang City. If we complete our mission and capture a cripple, what if we can't leave?" Luo Yao chuckled.

"But the waterway is not necessarily easy?" Gong Hui questioned,

"At least it's safer than the train. Moreover, Dongting Lake is not Yin Tianchou's private lake. The water bandits, big and small, will be wary. As long as they spread some rumors, hehe..."

"You are so insidious."

"Be prepared for a rainy day. As I said, you will do the arresting work, and I will be responsible for the logistics and evacuation work." Luo Yao said with a smile, "Let's go, we can still catch up with dinner if we go back now."

"Let's talk it over first. I won't take the blame for this matter."

"Do you think they will believe it?" Luo Yao smiled unscrupulously. Even if he told Gu Yuan and the others the facts now, they still wouldn't believe it. Moreover, the misunderstanding would get deeper and deeper, thinking that Gong Hui was deliberately protecting him. , give him the credit, and despise him even more.

He doesn't mind, it just depends on Gong Hui's choice.

Gong Hui was stunned for a moment. Was she stupid? She had fallen into Luo Yao's trap from the beginning, and she didn't know it. She thought Luo Yao was taking the overall situation into consideration when he said the credit was hers. What comes to mind is that all this was intentional on his part.

He didn't even think about taking the credit.

insidious!

Why did he do this?

What's the purpose?

…

"Why did you come back? We have been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come back, we will start eating." Seeing Luo Yao and Gong Hui coming back, Liu Jinbao came up to them complainingly.

Fortunately Gu Yuan wasn't here, otherwise he would have made some weird and sarcastic remarks.

Although Mancang looked down on Luo Yao, he wasn't that emotional. Wait, it won't be a big problem. Fortunately, it wasn't too late for the two of them to come back.

"Gu Yuan has already joined the theater troupe. He will enter the Yin family's mansion early tomorrow morning. A stage will be set up outside the Yin family's mansion to sing operas. Not only the Yin family can go there. The stage is set up in the square outside the gate of the Yin family's mansion. People nearby can go there. Watch, tomorrow, we will blend in among the people watching the show. Once Gu Yuan discovers Duan Laizi's whereabouts, he will send us a signal. As long as we keep an eye on the person, we will take action when he comes out of the Yin family's mansion. We are a secret As long as Yin Tianchou is not alerted, there will be no problem. I have already thought of the retreat route. Take the train and go directly to Xiangcheng." After dinner, Liu Jinbao called the three of them into Datongpu.

The secret arrest was a long-established action strategy that had never been changed. There were only five of them, and once the commotion became big, they would.

Even if his identity is revealed, he may not even be able to leave Yueyang City.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, not to mention that Yin Tianchou is also a ruthless master. If he really kills them, what can he do if another one dies without proof?

He has a well-equipped security group with only 2,000 people. The safety of Yueyang City still depends on him. Who dares to touch him at this time?

These days, if you have a gun, you are the grass-headed king.

They can only arrest them secretly and then quietly evacuate with them. As long as they leave Yueyang's territory, there is nothing Yin Tianchou can do no matter how powerful he is.

Taking the train is undoubtedly the fastest.

"Duan Laizi is a big living person. Will he come with us?" Gong Hui asked, "There are police at this train station. If the news is leaked, we have to stay here."

"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements. When the time comes, I'll knock Duan Laizi out, put it in the suitcase, and check it in directly. This way, no one will notice."

"Won't the station inspect the checked items?"

"The person who checked is my friend. This is not a problem. As long as the box is on the train, there will be no problem." Liu Jinbao explained.

"I think if we really take Duan Laizi on the train, we can not buy tickets to Xiangcheng, but go north to Jiangcheng and hand them over directly to Shangfeng. Shangfeng's mission did not say that we need to Take the prisoners to Xiangcheng together?" Luo Yao reminded.

"If we do the opposite, will it delay our trip to Xiangcheng?"

"No, we have money now. The trains from Jiangcheng to Xiangcheng run at least three times a day. As long as you have money, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy tickets. Shangfeng just asked us to arrive before New Year's Eve, but did not specify a specific time. No matter what kind of transportation we take, as long as we complete the test, it’s all within the rules.”

"It makes sense, Lao Luo. In this way, even if the news is leaked, Yin Tianchou will only pay attention to the trains going south from Yueyang and ignore the trains going north. This method is perfect."

…

"Luo Yao, why didn't you tell them about the boat rental just now?" Gong Hui was just about to tell Luo Yao's plan, but was stopped by Luo Yao's eyes.

"This is a two-pronged preparation. If the team leader's side fails, at least we have a backup." Luo Yao explained with a smile, "Now tell them that they know there is a backup escape route, then they will slack off, even if If we don’t need it then, wouldn’t it be a good idea for us to take a boat to Xiangcheng?”

"The two of us?" Gong Hui's cheeks turned red for no reason.

"If you want to go with them, that's fine..."

"Who said that, I'm too lazy to follow them!" Gong Hui's cheeks turned red for no reason, showing a hint of childish mentality.

However, when she raised her head to look at Luo Yao, she found that he was not squinting or looking at her at all, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart.

…

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year. It is traditional to worship the Kitchen God on this day, praying to the Kitchen God not to go to heaven to complain, so that the family will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the coming year. On this day, very early in the morning, a stage was held in the square in front of the Yin family's mansion in the south of the city. There were many people sitting around in front.

They are all nearby people, as well as the Yin family.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the warm sunshine dispelled the long-lost cold air, and the show on the stage began.

The first opening was the traditional Baxiang Opera piece "Da Yan Song".

Opera is a folk art. Once it reaches the temple, it seems to be at a higher level, but in fact it is already low-key and low-key. It is becoming more and more isolated from the people and loses its source of living water. It is only a matter of time before it dies.

Although Luo Yao couldn't understand the dialect of the Baling area, he could still understand the performances of the actors on the stage. Sitting under the stage, cheering and applauding along with others, this experience seemed quite boring. In fact, it is also a kind of state of mind cultivation.

"Liu Jinbao said you came out early in the morning. I guessed that you were here." Gong Hui actually found Luo Yao hiding in the crowd.

"You're here too, sit down and watch together." Luo Yao moved his buttocks and gave Gong Hui an empty seat, "It's specially reserved for you."

"Is this interesting?"

"Of course, haven't you seen it?"

"Beating Yan Song is not just about the story of Yan Song, the treacherous Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, who was killed by the emperor. Most of the plays are joking. The real history is much more complicated than this." Gong Hui sat down next to Luo Yao and whispered. He whispered in his ear.

"I know, why is it not good to be simple?" Luo Yao chuckled, "Stop talking and watch the show. Look at how well the actor who played Yan Song acted and how vivid his expression was."

"Don't forget what we are here for." Gong Hui reminded.

"I know, I saw this guy Gu Yuan. He came on stage just now, playing the role of a soldier. He didn't have a line, haha..."

Gong Hui is now more and more certain that this is all driven by dark hands like Luo Yao, but the people in the game are not aware of it.
