Chapter 168 Trap
Chapter 168 Trap
Jiang Chuan and his companions set out with Uncle Wolf, and half an hour later, they arrived outside the round wall of the granary.
Several people hid in a tree about ten feet away from the wall and looked inside the wall.
There were no torches inside the wall, and the only light was lanterns. It was a normal granary, and the control of fire was very strict.
The security here is very strict, and there are many soldiers patrolling inside.
The four people observed for about half an hour and found that there was only a small gap in the shift change time.
We originally wanted to go in with four people, but the free time was short and it was difficult for people with poor lightness skills to pass through.
In the end, in order not to expose their whereabouts, they had to leave Jiang Qi, who was slightly less skilled, outside to provide support.
Jiang Chuan, Huo Shu and Fu Yi took advantage of the soldiers' fatigue and lack of concentration during the shift change to sneak in. After that, the three of them quickly separated and each chose a direction to move forward.
Jiang Chuan chose the east side. He remembered that the dining hall was there. At this time, that should be the place with the least people. The most important thing is that it is during the day. It seems that many of the bags in the granary over there are new.
I didn't notice it at the time. Now I realize that those new bags over there must have just been added. If there is any problem, it should be inseparable from those warehouses.
When no one was paying attention, Jiang Chuan jumped onto the roof of the granary and carefully used a knife to make a hole in the roof.
Then he used the knife in his hand to probe downwards, and felt that it was very solid. Could it be that all the food was really full in there?
Jiang Chuan took out the knife and reached in again, wanting to feel it carefully. When his hand touched the bags, Jiang Chuan was a little confused. It was very hard inside. Is the food so hard now?
Jiang Chuan simply cut a hole in the bag with a knife and reached inside. He pulled out a handful of sand.
There is no grain in here, but sand.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Chuan was so angry that he wanted to chop Wu Cheng to death with one knife.
How dare this bastard do this? This is the rations for the soldiers at the border!
Jiang Chuan no longer hesitated and quickly restored the roof to its original state.
During the gaps between the guards' inspections, they explored the roofs of several granaries. It turned out that each granary was either filled with sand bags or had grain on the side near the door, while the closed area at the back was completely empty. In this way, when they opened the door of the granary and looked inside, it seemed full. They would not doubt whether there was grain at the back.
What a great empty city plan! Jiang Chuan looked at the facts in front of him and slowly calmed down.
This is no longer a trivial matter. Today, Wu Cheng wants to put the blame on himself. He has been making excuses these days and not letting me come. He must have been planning this. But it didn't work. He will definitely not give up. I don't know how many tricks he has.
We can't be so passive. What happens here must be reported back to the capital as soon as possible so that Grandpa and the emperor can know.
I didn't bring many people with me this time, and there were only a few people I could use. If there was something I couldn't handle, I had to get the letter out right away.
Uncle Huo and Fu Yi also explored several granaries and found similar situations to Jiang Chuan. Considering what happened during the day, the two were no less anxious than Jiang Chuan.
Fearing that things might change, the three of them looked for each other at the same time, and finally met on the roof of a granary, and told each other what they had learned. Only then did they confirm that almost all the granaries in the granary had been replaced.
This is the trap Wu Cheng set for Jiang Chuan.
The three of them took advantage of the guards not paying attention and flew out of the granary, and found Jiang Qi outside the wall. They didn't dare to stay for a moment and walked back.
This matter is too big, and it might even cost my life. I must think of a solution immediately.
