Chapter 850: Scouting
After ten years, when they have adapted to the local life, settled down, and lived a comfortable life, no one should want to run away. After all, habit is a terrible thing.
Chagan and Baiyin looked at each other. Baiyin was not too disappointed. Ten years was not a long time. He was still young. The most important thing was that after ten years, his son would no longer be a slave.
Chagan hesitated and said, "But, with so many people, won't we be discovered?"
Gu Fei quickly said, "You don't have to think about this, I'll find a way."
"Just tell me how many soldiers are here?"
Bai Yin said, "Two hundred soldiers, they all have knives, we can't beat them."
Gu Fei smiled, "If we can't beat them, we won't fight, we'll find a way to sneak away."
"By the way, are the soldiers equipped with horses?"
Bai Yin nodded, "Yes, there are many horses here."
Gu Fei pondered for a moment, "How about this, take us to the stables and where the soldiers live later."
"Wait until I see it, and then think about how to go."
Bai Yin said anxiously, "I'll take you there."
Gu Fei and Qin'er followed Bai Yin out of the door. After walking for a while, they saw a row of tall and spacious houses. Bai Yin "That's the stable over there. There aren't many horses in it now, but some will come back in the evening."
Gu Fei's eyes flashed, "How many horses are there in the stable for the winter?"
Bai Yin said, "That's a lot. There are about 10,000 horses in our town every year."
"Then, the fodder should be almost ready, right?"
Bai Yin nodded, "Of course, the fodder must be prepared in advance, otherwise it will be too late when it snows."
Gu Fei coughed lightly, "Where is the warehouse for the fodder?"
Bai Yin pointed to the back, "There is a warehouse behind the stable, which is specially used for fodder and feed."
Gu Fei remembered the place and nodded, "Let's go to the barracks where the officers and soldiers live."
Bai Yin shook his head, "You can't go into the barracks."
"It's okay, just tell me the place." Gu Fei said.
Bai Yin took the two of them for a walk.
There were no soldiers standing guard at the door of the barracks. Gu Fei looked inside and saw several tables in a large yard. The officers and soldiers sat around the tables, some sitting and some standing.
Baiyin whispered, "They are gambling."
"These people do nothing but drink, gamble and look for women every day."
Gu Fei looked around, "Where is the stable on this side of the barracks?"
Baiyin looked at both sides of the barracks, "Both sides are stables, and the officers and soldiers live in the backyard."
After looking around, Gu Fei had a rough plan in mind. As he walked, he whispered, "I plan to take you away tonight."
"You will see how many people there are later, and children are not counted. Tell me the specific number. Remember, don't let the news leak out."
Baiyin nodded, "No, we will only take a few families with us, and we will definitely not tell anyone."
Qin'er was still thinking about Master Yang, "Where does Master Yang live?"
Baiyin took them around a few corners, passed in front of a blue brick house, and whispered, "This is it."
Gu Fei and Qin'er looked at each other and nodded.
The few of them returned to Chagan's house, and Gu Fei and Qin'er whispered about the action plan for the evening.
After the discussion, the two of them ate some dry food and gave Chagan and Anji some steamed buns and some dried meat.
It was getting dark, and people came to Chagan's hut one after another, filling up the room.
They looked at Gu Fei and Qin'er with hope.
