On the other side, Shen Lang had been checking for a long time.

Time slowly came to midnight. Shen Lang carefully checked each brick and identified all quality problems.

For those that needed to be reworked, Shen Lang even considerately put a small note on them.

The soldiers had gradually adapted to Shen Lang's presence at night and began to ignore him.

Shen Lang had been calculating the time in his mind. After greeting a team of patrol soldiers, he sat down in the dark as if he was taking a rest, and then took out the box from his storage bag.

When the patrol soldiers left completely, Shen Lang took two quick steps forward and sucked down with his big hand.

I saw a human head tied with a rope came into Shen Lang's hands at a speed faster than the blink of an eye.

At this moment, in the distance, a group of soldiers were moving quickly towards the city gate.

Shen Lang acted decisively, let go and retreated.

Squeak.

The city gate opened and the soldiers rushed in.

Shen Lang was breathing heavily, somewhat incredulously.

Soldiers shouldn't be entering the city at this time...

Phew, try again!

"Lord Zhebie." A patrol team greeted Shen Lang. The leader stopped and asked curiously, "Lord Zhebie, what are you doing..."

The sweat stains on Shen Lang's body had not dried yet, but the team leader actually discovered them.

"It's okay. I've been doing so many tests and I'm exhausted." Shen Lang patted the box beside him that he hadn't had time to put away. "I brought some food with me. Would you like to eat some together?"

What is contained in here are the spare heads that Shen Lang brought with him.

Chapter 168 Military Operations

"No, no, we still have to patrol." The soldier waved his hands quickly.

"Yeah." Shen Lang nodded and watched them leave.

No, the opportunities are becoming fewer and fewer.

Shen Lang approached the city wall again, and with a fierce pull, the head was in his hands again.

There was a small knife in his hand, which was the equipment of the Red Flame Dragon Rider set, a low-grade Xuan-level magic weapon, and it was extremely sharp.

Shen Lang's true energy was attached to the knife, and he used up nearly two dantians' worth of true energy before he could barely make the blade sharp.

Why does this damn Xuan-level magic weapon have to be activated with true essence? Wouldn’t it be better to just set it to true qi?

Whoosh!

Shen Lang gently stroked the rope and it broke.

Sure enough, this is not an ordinary rope. It has a lot of iron wires mixed in it. If you don’t use your true energy or magic weapons, it would be impossible to cut it off in the first place.

Shen Lang decisively put Zhao Huaibei's head into the storage bag and took out another head from the box.

Shen Lang had asked Mo Yi to help put makeup on this head. Both the hairstyle and appearance were not much different from Zhao Huaibei. If you didn't look closely or were not familiar with him, it would be impossible to recognize him at first glance.

pat, pat...

He could feel footsteps nearby; new patrolmen were about to arrive!

Because Muyun City is quite sensitive, the intervals between their patrols are extremely short. It is really difficult for Shen Lang to observe the outside world in such a short time.

bang bang bang...

At this moment, another group of cavalry came galloping from a distance and rushed towards the city gate.

The timing of the appearance of this cavalry team is a bit critical!

give up?

No, if you give up again, you may not have another chance next time.

Moreover, the wire has been broken. The arrow is on the string and must be shot!

Shen Lang didn't bother to tie the new head to the rope, but instead used ice magic to forcibly fix the head and the rope together.

Whoosh!

The head fell and bounced twice below. Shen Lang decisively withdrew.

The deputy of the cavalry centurion who was rushing towards the city let out a soft "hmm" and approached the centurion: "Did the head on the city wall move?"

"It's just the wind, don't worry about it..." The centurion said in a deep voice, "The army will set out tomorrow morning. This is not a drill, it's real. Go into the city first and report."

"Yes!" The deputy didn't think much about it.

…………

Shen Lang sat in his previous position, breathing heavily.

Why are there so many people coming into the city tonight? What happened?

Did they see it?

Zhao Huaibei, ah Zhao Huaibei, because of your head, I almost lost my life in Muyun City!

Shen Lang let out a long sigh. No matter whether the person saw it or not, he had to pretend again.

Shen Lang put away the box and pretended to inspect the bricks and stones.

Another patrol arrived.

If it weren't for the cavalry just now, Shen Lang would have had time to tie the head to the rope.

Now, it depends on how long this ice can last.

If the head falls before dawn...

After saying hello to the patrol team, Shen Lang went down the city wall.

"Is it done?" The city gate commander saw that Shen Lang's time today was almost the same as yesterday, only a stick of incense was missing at most, and didn't think much about it.

"It's done. Thank you..." Shen Lang pounded his chest at the gate commander: "Brother, what time will you change guard?"

It seems the cavalry didn't see it, thank God.

"When the city gates are opened in the morning." When the city gate commander heard Shen Lang say this, he thought Shen Lang wanted to treat him to a drink: "These two days are a critical period, let's talk about drinking when I have a day off."

"Okay..." Shen Lang knew he had misunderstood when he heard him speak: "I have to leave the city as soon as possible tomorrow morning, so I'll trouble you then, brother."

Shen Lang was not sure about this.

We still have to see if Mo Yi has any solution. If Mo Yi has no solution, then we can only open the city gate tomorrow morning and run away as soon as possible.

"Oh?" Chengmen was stunned for a moment: "Leave the city?"

Shen Lang could not help but point to a nearby shop helplessly: "I opened a shop for the county magistrate, and there is a kind of medicinal material that is very popular."

"Didn't you see what happened today? Ejima smashed the store. If I go to the city to buy goods tomorrow and get caught by her, it will be troublesome."

"So, I'd better go out of town to restock and then hide."

The city gate commander suddenly realized.

He didn't know what the store did, but he knew that before it opened in the morning, it was surrounded by a large group of ladies.

It didn't take long for the goods to be sold out, and then Mo Yi ran out early in the morning to purchase more goods.

He didn't see Ajima smashing the store, but the door is still broken.

"Brother, you've worked hard." The city gate commander patted Shen Lang on the shoulder: "It's not easy to deal with these people and do your job well..."

"I can't help it. I spoke up for everyone today, which offended some dignitaries." Shen Lang smiled bitterly. "They say that the hearts of grassland people are as broad as the areas where eagles fly, but in my opinion, it's the same. People always hold grudges. I contradicted the leader in public, and he could take my life at any time if he is dissatisfied."

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains: Those who carry firewood for the public should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow." The gate commander said solemnly: "Brother Zhebie, don't worry, you are not alone, there are thousands of us behind you!"

The corners of Shen Lang's mouth twitched.

Even if one of me falls, there are still thousands and millions of me left?

He now realized that offending important figures would be of little use even if he won the hearts of the people.

What happened to the people who exposed the tainted milk powder and gutter oil? That was modern times, and the laws were more sound...

"By the way, you said these two days are a critical period. What's the matter?" Shen Lang asked.

"There should be military action." The city gate commander glanced in the direction of the city gate: "However, Muyun City is not under martial law."

Military action?

Shen Lang's pupils shrank slightly.

The Wolf Lord finally couldn't hold back any longer and was about to send troops?

This timing is really good!

Although the current Muyun City and the surrounding political powers are in a mess and ethnic conflicts have arisen, this is a political issue and it is understandable that the grassland people are not good at this.

But from a military perspective, Shen Lang fully recognized this opportunity.

It's been windy and sandy outside these days, and all the major cities are probably short of water. In addition, other tribes have consumed a lot of water, so those cities should be like paper and will be broken at the first attack!

The only city that could barely resist was Yongning City, which was directly under the direct rule of King Zhenbei.

There is no martial law in Muyun City. Shen Lang probably understands what the Wolf Lord means.

The Wolf Lord's previous policies, coupled with the lack of martial law, were probably intended to ensure that the rear could function normally after he sent out his troops.

Not imposing martial law can also give others the feeling that he is very confident.

No, we got too much information, we must get out of the city quickly to report the news!

"Well, these are not things I should know." Shen Lang smiled: "Then I will go back first."

"Okay." The city gate commander nodded.

At this moment, many soldiers ran towards Shen Lang.

Shen Lang made a move to leave, but several soldiers blocked his way.

"Are you Zhebie?"

Chapter 169 The Long Night

"That's right..."

One wrong step leads to another. Ajima's manipulation made everything develop in an unknown direction. In addition, lurking was not an easy task, so Shen Lang could only improvise.

"We would like to ask, where did you go after you came out of the county government office last night?" the leader said to Shen Lang.

Seeing several people asking such questions, Shen Lang felt his heart tighten.

Are you investigating the disappearance of five soldiers?

Phew, I knew that killing people would not end well. This is a bomb!

But Shen Lang did not regret doing so.

If he sent up the head of an innocent Zhou person, it would no longer be him.

In fact, in the alien world, if it was not a normal time travel to a historical dynasty, Shen Lang could have ignored the feelings of his compatriots, but he was just like that.

Possessing the same culture, speaking the same language, using the same writing, and having a similar history, he still treated those people as his own people, as a vulnerable group that needed his protection and care.

People like Shen Lang live a miserable life but cannot bear to see the sufferings of others.

"This is the route I'm taking." Shen Lang squatted on the ground and carefully drew his own route map.

But when he arrived at the charity cemetery, Shen Lang skipped it.

After finishing the painting, Shen Lang stood up and said to the soldier, "Did the county magistrate send you here?"

"This matter was originally a secret order, but since you guys are asking, I'll just tell you straight away."
