The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Knowing too much is not a good thing for them.

Fortunately, Major Zhou from last time left his contact information.

The messenger helped send a telegram: "Important, urgent, return immediately, Yang."

After quite a while, we finally got in touch.

Yang Dalin certainly didn't mention the specifics in the telegram.

They only said that the military needed to send personnel from the relevant departments from last time, who needed to be of a certain rank, and that a company was also needed to transport the supplies.

Major Zhou understood and said he would make contact. He even contacted the nearest border defense force.

They sent people from the north, which was faster and closer.

He will come as soon as possible.

Yang Dalin left a small wild boar for Captain Niu and his men, telling them to travel slowly.

He first went back to the cave, leaving new marks along the way.

Considering there were two surviving spies in the cave, Captain Niu agreed to his plan.

However, he suggested sending two team members, lightly equipped, to return with him.

These two team members are the most skilled in the security department; they unloaded some of their burdens.

This way they can get there faster, and the rest of them can try to reach the cave by tomorrow morning.

It looks like we're in trouble today; the pace is too slow.

The two of them could help Yang Dalin if they went there.

Yang Dalin originally didn't want to bring them along, but considering the secrets inside that cave, it would be good to have two outsiders with him to prove that he had never been inside that secret military base again.

So Yang Dalin agreed.

With two outsiders around, the process is much slower.

However, since we were traveling light, it was much faster than carrying a lot of things.

Yang Dalin took care of them several times along the way, and they hurried to the cave where the three educated youths were staying, around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, just before dark.

The three educated youths relaxed a little when they saw that Yang Dalin had returned as scheduled.

Yang Dalin asked them, "Are you alright? Are those two spies still alive?"

Male educated youth Liu Yaohui: "Everything is fine, comrade."

"That's good. These two are from your farm's security department. You know them, right? The others won't arrive until tomorrow morning. Now that we have these two comrades helping us keep watch at night, you don't have to be afraid."

"Knowledge comes naturally."

"Okay, it's good that we know each other. It's getting dark, let's hurry up and pack up to make dinner. I've been traveling for more than half a day. On the way here, I carried both of them for a part of the journey, and I'm starving."

The two security guards were a little embarrassed when they heard this. They were indeed the best fighters in the security department, but although they were good at fighting, they couldn't keep up with Yang Dalin's daily diet or his terrifying physical strength.

Yang Dalin has a cheat code and eats well, so his physical strength is naturally even better. Although the farm's security department doesn't say they're lacking in food, it's still far inferior to Yang Dalin's meals.

To avoid delaying their journey, Yang Dalin carried them on his back several times along the way.

They wanted to get to the cave before dark.

Before parting ways with Captain Niu, Yang Dalin handed over the telegraph machine he was carrying to Captain Niu and his men. In order to protect his identity, Yang Dalin made up a name: Weiguo.

He made all his comrades call him Comrade Wei.

The security personnel have all studied stricter confidentiality regulations.

Everyone understands.

So the two security guards thanked him, saying, "Indeed, Comrade Wei has excellent physical strength; we are both ashamed to admit that we are not as good as him."

We were also very grateful for Comrade Wei's help along the way.

Feng Xiaohong and Wang Qian leaned forward: "Comrade, your surname is Wei? We just found out. We didn't dare to ask before."

Yang Dalin nodded: "Yes, my surname is Wei. Okay, hurry up and get ready to make dinner, lest it get completely dark and we can't see anything."

I'll go chop some more firewood nearby. You two comrades go in and check on those two spies, make sure they're not dead.

Everyone subconsciously followed Yang Dalin's instructions.

Yang Dalin went to the surrounding area and collected a lot more firewood to use that night.

As the number of people increased in the evening, a schedule for night watch was arranged.

The four men were assigned to one class each, while the two female educated youths received special treatment and were assigned to one class together.

Each shift lasts two hours.

Yang Dalin still chose the most dangerous time of the night.

When Yang Dalin returned from gathering firewood, he saw that the two surviving spies had probably been taken to relieve themselves by two security guards. Their faces were no longer flushed red, unlike when he had just returned.

These two are impressive too; they didn't wet their pants because they were so full. That's really something.

Unfortunately, the two little birds may have been seriously injured.

But it doesn't matter. I guess it won't be long before I go to see the old Russian. It doesn't matter.

After Yang Dalin and his group finished dinner, they slept peacefully until dawn.

Not long after the next morning, a group of border troops arrived from the north.

Yang Dalin spotted them in advance and went to greet them.

They met the officer in charge, then agreed on a story, referring to themselves as Comrade Wei, and handed over the two spies and their corpses to another officer who looked quite ordinary.

They also set up some tents nearby and weren't in a hurry to go back.

Furthermore, they questioned each of the three educated youths separately.

The three educated youth also need to be investigated and cannot go back first.

It took a while for Captain Niu and his team to arrive.

Unfortunately, this ordinary-looking officer did not give Captain Niu and his men any rest time.

They were taken to the border troops' camp along with three educated youths and a secret agent.

Brother Tian went along too.

The officer didn't talk much with Yang Dalin, which clearly indicated that he wasn't of high enough rank.

Soon, only Yang Dalin and a company of fully armed border guards remained near the cave.

A while later, Major Zhou arrived with a group of people.

There was a colonel, a lieutenant colonel, two majors, and two middle-aged men wearing military overcoats over Zhongshan suits.

Yang Dalin had met these two people before.

Yang Dalin briefly explained the situation to Major Zhou.

Major Zhou gave a brief introduction of the visitors.

Yang Dalin explained the matter of spies to the two men wearing Zhongshan suits.

He told the colonel about the military fortress inside the cave.

Upon hearing that there was a considerable amount of weaponry and valuables inside, the colonel immediately took it seriously.

He first arranged for several three-person teams to go in and scout, and then began to contact and report to his superiors.

Although Yang Dalin didn't count the gold inside, he estimated it to be over ten tons, which was a huge fortune that the colonel couldn't afford to ignore.

Yang Dalin and two men in Zhongshan suits were in a makeshift tent when they talked about spies.

Yang Dalin said that two policemen in a nearby county had been kidnapped by the enemy, and asked them to count whether there were any other missing persons in the vicinity.

Moreover, he volunteered to go and rescue people himself, asking the domestic authorities to arrange for their assistance.

The two men in Zhongshan suits said, "This is a big deal; we need to consult with higher authorities."

Logically speaking, Yang Dalin shouldn't be needed for saving lives.

But Yang Dalin had a history of escaping unscathed last time, and he had also said that this incident was caused by him, so he wanted to go and save people.

Moreover, Yang Dalin is outstanding in every aspect.

Actually, both of these comrades were quite inclined to let Yang Dalin go.

However, this now involves Yang Dalin's visit to that military fortress.

I wonder if Yang Dalin took anything out of it.

These things need to be verified first.
