Chapter 406 Simultaneous Action
Chapter 406 Simultaneous Action
Liu Shuxue brought various materials and sneaked into the dark night with her maid Juzi.
The two soon arrived in front of the city square.
The black statue stands in the north of the square, facing the entire empty square.
Not far behind the statue is a bell tower about 20 to 30 feet high.
Four guards stood in four directions around the statue.
It was the beginning of the Yin hour, and this was the last shift of guards before dawn.
This period is also when people feel the most sleepy.
Some of the four guards were standing, while others were sitting on the ground.
Based on past experience, there would be no officers patrolling during this time.
So they were a little lazy and agreed to take turns standing near the statue and observing the surrounding situation.
The main purpose is to guard against sudden inspections by military officers.
In their hearts, they didn't think that anyone would come and destroy the statue.
Liu Shuxue and the other person came to the back of the bell tower and looked behind it to observe the situation of the four guards.
Two torches were lit around the statue, which was already in a dying state.
After observing for a moment, Liu Shuxue nodded to Juzi.
Orange carried a bamboo basket and walked out from behind the clock tower, twisting his body as he walked towards the square in front of the statue.
Her footsteps were so light that the guards didn't notice anything was wrong until she was about ten steps away from the statue.
A guard holding a spear turned around and stared at Orange who was walking out of the darkness.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
Juzi raised the bamboo basket on his arm.
"Master, I am here to pay homage to the Virgin Mary."
The guard stared at Orange in confusion.
"Why are you here so early?"
"Master Jun, I heard that the first person to come and worship the Virgin Mary will have their wish fulfilled more quickly."
As Orange spoke, he did not stop walking. He twisted and turned until he came to a position about ten steps in front of the statue.
Several guards glanced around vigilantly and saw that there was no one else.
Seeing only this little girl in front of him, he immediately felt relieved.
The two people who were dozing off while sitting were still pretending to sleep with their heads down, and the two soldiers who were on guard duty were approaching Orange step by step.
Juzi lowered her head, put the bamboo basket on the ground, and carefully took out the offerings.
Two soldiers stood in front of her, watching her take things out one by one.
At this time, Liu Shuxue had silently come behind the statue, his body flew into the air and stuck to the statue's shoulder.
The dagger was silently pulled out of the cowhide sheath and began to dig at the top of the statue.
It is indeed a treasure of the Kuro tribe, and the dagger is extremely sharp.
Liu Shuxue quickly dug a deep hole in the head of the statue.
Lin Feng has already explained that the depth only needs to be about one foot, and the hole should not be too big, as long as the depth meets the standard.
After Liu Shuxue finished working on the top of the statue, he slid down to the back of the statue.
Continue digging the hole.
Two soldiers had already squatted in front of Juzi, reaching out to touch her offerings, and talking to her in a casual manner.
The other two guards also fell into a light sleep.
Not aware at all.
Liu Shuxue quickly dug three deep holes, poured in explosive powder, sealed them with glue, and pulled out a fuse.
Tie the three wires together and slowly pull them down.
She used black adhesive cloth to stick the wires on the statue's body in a hidden place.
Gradually he came to the ground, looked for the gaps in the bluestone slabs, and slowly led the lead to the back of the bell tower.
The whole process took two and a half minutes and was almost silent.
Orange slowly placed the offerings, raised her little face, and chatted and laughed with the two guards.
Attracting the attention of both of them.
After Liu Shuxue finished everything, she left quietly.
Orange will wait in the square to pay homage to the Virgin Mary, and then look for an opportunity to light the fuse hidden in the bell tower.
Everyone will follow the plan and start to act after hearing the explosion.
Lin Feng brought Xi Niang and followed Liu Shuxue's secret clues, and came to a house in the dark.
The hidden figure raised his hand and pointed at a gate tower about thirty to fifty steps ahead, without saying a word, but just nodded at Lin Feng and the others.
Then he turned into a cat and disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Feng looked ahead at the tall gatehouse with two red lanterns hanging on it.
The walls on both sides are more than ten feet high, and the tops of the walls are covered with gray tiles, making them very difficult to climb.
Two soldiers wearing black scarves stood in front of the gate, leaning against the wall with spears in their arms.
Lin Feng whispered, "Let's go to the backyard and see if there's a chance to climb over the wall and get in."
The two of them walked along the corner of the wall into a dark alley.
Lin Feng moved forward while listening carefully to the movements around him.
Finally, it stopped at a wall connecting a pointed-roof tiled house.
Lin Feng whispered in Xi Niang's ear: "Let's go up to the roof from here, find a high point, and wait for Shen Zhongying to appear. We won't be able to find him in such a big house."
Xi Niang's ears were tickled by the hot breath he exhaled.
He turned his head and put his mouth close to hers: "General, let's each take one spot and see who can get to the best angle first."
Lin Feng didn't say anything else, raised his thumb and waved it in front of her.
Then he squatted down and let Xi Niang step on his shoulders to climb the wall.
The girl was light and was easily carried to the top of the wall by Lin Feng, who then lowered the soft belt around his waist and pulled Lin Feng up.
The two men walked lightly and slowly climbed onto the tiled house, observing the surrounding environment.
Xi Niang separated the weapons on her back, and the two of them each took their own weapons and went to find a suitable position.
The eastern sky began to turn white, and pedestrians gradually appeared on the street.
The sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking could be heard in the distance.
The entire city seemed to wake up from a dream.
At the beginning of the hour of Mao, believers in the city flocked to the square in the center of the city from all directions.
The crowd in the square grew larger and larger, some brought offerings, some just brought a bunch of incense, and they crowded into the center.
The scene is getting bigger and bigger.
By the end of the morning hour, the spacious square was already filled with people.
Everyone lit a bunch of incense and began to chant with their eyes closed.
In just half a minute, a thin blue smoke like mist filled the sky above the square.
Orange had been sitting for nearly two hours and his legs were numb.
She opened her eyes and looked around. There were many people sitting in front of her.
Juzi quietly picked up the offerings on the ground, put them into the bamboo basket, stood up and walked forward.
Holding a bamboo basket, she walked around the people sitting on the ground with their eyes closed and came to the statue.
He placed the bamboo basket on the ground respectfully and bowed.
Then walk around the statue and towards the bell tower.
No one noticed the little girl's actions, as everyone closed their eyes and worshipped the Virgin Mary devoutly.
Orange was a little nervous. He walked a few steps to the clock tower and dug out the fuse from the crack in the ground according to the agreed position.
He hid in the corner, lit the flint, and gently lit the fuse.
A puff of green smoke came out of the fuse, and it hissed as it moved forward.
Along the cracks in the bluestone floor, a green snake-like worm swam towards the black statue.
Orange heard from her young lady that when she lit the fuse, the statue would explode with a loud noise.
She covered her ears with her hands and watched with wide eyes as the wisp of smoke climbed up the base of the statue.
The entire square was filled with smoke and no one noticed the fast-moving smoke.
Orange watched as the green smoke with a few sparks entered the statue, and there was a moment of silence.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, followed by a sound like muffled thunder.
I just felt the ground shaking violently.
The entire black statue exploded under Orange's gaze.
Fragments of the statue flew all over the sky, accompanied by flames, rising into the sky.
