The two moved away from the cabinet that blocked the entrance to the cellar, and left the cellar patiently to hide their hiding place. Then they rummaged through the small courtyard to find practical items such as cloth and hemp rope. After they were ready, they left the courtyard.
The moon that hung in the night was round and bright. Even without the flashlight of the mobile phone, the two could barely recognize the road ahead.
In the meantime, Cheng Huaiqian reached out his hand back and motioned to Xia Ruize to pull him.
Xia Ruize looked at the hand stretched out by the person in front, and fell into entanglement again. How could he explain that he actually cared about holding hands?
Cheng Huaiqian didn't get a response for a long time. He turned his head and gave a puzzled look. Looking at the handsome teammate who was softened by the moonlight, Xia Ruize didn't say anything in the end, and reached out his hand to catch the other's hand.
Cheng Huaiqian's hands were dry and warm, and Xia Ruize's hands were cold. As soon as his hands were placed on him, Cheng Huaiqian squeezed and pulled him forward, reminding him to be careful of the road ahead in a low voice from time to time.
Xia Ruize's gaze swept across the hands of the two. Didn't this straight male teammate really think it was weird for two big men to hold hands? Or did the straight guy feel that things were rushing, and this level of physical contact was acceptable for safety? Was he being a bit too sensitive?
However, these entanglements only hovered in his mind for a few seconds, and Xia Ruize quickly focused his attention on the surrounding environment.
At first, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian walked very carefully. Gradually, they realized that they were being too careful, because the whole Bianlu City was like an empty city, lifeless and motionless.
The two of them walked all the way to the main road, only to find that there was light in the north of the city, and there was a loud noise.
At this time, those who dare to be unscrupulous in Bianlu City were probably only the barbarians. Looking at each other, Cheng Huaiqian pulled Xia Ruize towards the north of the city.
Both of them deliberately lightened their steps. When they approached the north of the city, they also hid in the shadow of the house. They had to observe patiently for a period of time each time, and then they would continue to approach when they were safe.
Soon, they confirmed that they had found the camp of the barbarians who had invaded Bianlu City this time.
They saw under the city wall in the north of the city, three to five piles of barbarians were drinking, eating meat, and shouting loudly around the fire. There were even barbarians holding women in their arms who were insulting.
On the tower above the city wall, there were elite barbarians guarding the gate, and from the tower there was a more presumptuous laughter and noise. It was the high-level barbarians who were drinking and having fun.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did not approach rashly, but hid in the shadows and watched for a long time around the northern city wall and tower.
After careful observation, the two not only figured out the rules of the barbarian patrol, but also figured out the approximate number and distribution of the barbarians.
According to their speculation, there should be close to two hundred barbarians who led the invasion of Bianlu City. If a group of 30 barbarian are led by a big barbarian leader, then there should be around 5 or 6 big barbarian leaders in total. They just didn't know what the big boss above the big barbarian leader was called.
During the day, the barbarians killed by Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize should have the size of two big barbarian leader teams. In addition, there may be other resistance forces in the city. In short, after such observation, they found that there were more than one hundred barbarians left.
More importantly, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize found a small kitchen that provided meat and wine for these barbarians.
The two of them were hiding behind the pyre, observing the situation in the small kitchen, and looking at each other, they both saw a tacit eagerness in each other's eyes. It was obvious that both of them thought of the Mongolian sweat medicine Xia Ruize had obtained before.
Except for the barbarians who were in charge of patrols who were still awake, most of the barbarians seemed to have been eating and drinking for a long time. Presumably at this time, even if they drank the alcohol with the sweat medicine and fell down, they would only be considered to have passed out.
There was a preliminary plan in mind, and the two of them focused on the small kitchen.
At this time, an elite barbarian walked down from the tower and went to the kitchen to fetch wine and vegetables. During the whole process, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian found out that it seemed that the Daxia people were working hard to make food in the small kitchen, and things seemed better.
Cheng Huaiqian stretched out his hand and took Xia Ruize's shoulders, his voice was reduced, telling his plan in Xia Ruize's ear.
The man's hot breath sprayed on his ears, and Xia Ruize only felt itchy from his ears to his whole body, and couldn't help turning his head slightly.
Fortunately, Cheng Huaiqian's plan was clear, and he soon knew how to cooperate.
Outside the small kitchen, there were three barbarians guarding here. At this time, they were eating roast leg of lamb around the fire, drinking wine and guessing.
Xia Ruize raised his crossbow, secretly aiming at one of the barbarians. As long as he could kill him with a single blow, Cheng Huaiqian rushed to solve one, and the two work together to solve the last one. If everything went well, it was hoped that they would be completely solved before the barbarians could cry for help.
After the discussion, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize waited patiently for more than ten minutes. After the nearest patrol barbarian went away, the two exchanged glances, and then Xia Ruize shot an arrow at the barbarian that had been aimed at.
The arrow aimed directly at the neck of the barbarian, it hit the target smoothly. After the arrow hit the back of the neck, the barbarian could not even make a cry for help, and slowly fell to the ground.
Two of his teammates fisted in full swing, and didn't even notice that the nearest teammate had already had an accident.
The situation was great!
Cheng Huaiqian, who had lowered his body and approached, and Xia Ruize, who had turned the crossbow´s direction, attacked at the same time, solving the two barbarians in the excitement and punching at the same time, and there was almost no abnormal noise throughout the process.
Solving these three barbarians was just the beginning, and how to handle them properly was more critical.
Xia Ruize found the firewood scattered on one side, Cheng Huaiqian quickly arranged the scene, and finally disguised as two barbarians with their heads hanging down, and one barbarian lying on his back on the ground, drowsy and slumbering.
The wounds of the three people were all tightly tied up with the rags they had brought, and they even used the bandages they got, just to avoid too much blood leaking out in a short time and revealing the truth.
After setting up the scene, the two looked at each other. Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize rushed into the kitchen quickly. The two people who were busy in the kitchen were frightened. Before they could react, a big knife had been put against their necks.
"Strong man, be merciful! I beg the strong man to be merciful! We are also from Bianlu City. We are forced to cook for them. Please help strong man!"
After seeing the looks of Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, the middle-aged chef looked overjoyed and hurriedly whispered for mercy.
Cheng Huaiqian was not moved at all, he continued to put the knife in his hand forward, and asked coldly.
