The next morning, the roosters in the surrounding countryside had just crowed, and the soldiers on the back of the whistle had already started to line up.

After three months of training, these soldiers are almost used to the routine of going to bed early and getting up early.

Because Taiping Gate is far from the Xijiao Grand Craft, all the troops on duty must be stationed under Taiping Gate, so at this moment, the soldiers at the back were carrying bags and carrying luggage, looking like they were ready to go on a wild trip.

After a simple breakfast, Wu Shaoting led his men to Taiping Gate.

Although it is the late Qing Dynasty and the clock has already appeared, the city gates are still divided according to the sunrise and sunset. When Wu Shaoting led the back to Taiping Gate, the sun had just emitted a few faint light. The troops stationed here last month were the right whistle of Shanziying. The right whistle soldiers of the night shift are still sleepy and confused.

Chen Qun stepped forward and called several times before he woke up the right sentry soldiers who were guarding the night. After another moment, the soldiers on the right sentry were woken up one after another, and the two troops began to hand over.

The soldiers on the right whistle were all surprised. When they were taking the defense, the troops who came to take over were eager to come as late as possible. Why did the back whistle be stupid? This time they came so early? However, the soldiers on the right whistle didn't think much about it. They had lived in the simple barracks at the city gate for a month, and they were already having sex. They would rather go back to the kang in the camp area of ​​the university early to sleep comfortably.

Wu Shaoting and the right whistleman went through the alternating procedures, and then placed the whistleman soldiers to the temporary barracks below the city gate.

Strictly speaking, this temporary barrack is owned by all the troops guarding the city gate, but the things that are shared have always been ruined together. Anyway, I don’t care about it or maintain it. This is not a permanent barrack. After living there for a month, I left. This also shows why the lifespan of public facilities is always very short.

The soldiers of the right sentry had just left, and the barracks were in a mess. While complaining, the soldiers of the back sentry began to simply sort out and arranged the daily necessities such as bedding, rice bowls, water cups and other daily necessities they brought.

"Li Wenqi, come on." Wu Shaoting stood at the door of the barracks and shouted.

Li Wenqi hurriedly ran out of the barracks and said, "Sir, what are your instructions?"

Wu Shaoting threw his bedding to Li Wenqi and said, "Help me find a bed to install it."

Li Wenqi took the bedding but did not move. He looked at Wu Shaoting in surprise and asked, "Sir, are you going to be with us? This is so bad. The barracks are dirty, so I'm afraid I can't get used to sleeping."

Wu Shaoting sneered, "I have slept in any dirty places. At the time of handover, the right whistleman also came out of this barracks. He can't sleep, can't I? What's more, if I don't sleep here, do you let me sleep outside?"

Li Wenqi quickly said, "Sir, I misunderstood. The right whistleman gambling with the soldiers in the barracks last night. He was sleepy in the barracks in the middle of the night. When they were packing things, they saw with their own eyes that there were Paijiu and dice on the table. You are the chief, and you usually sleep on the city tower. Look, look."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the ancient city gate made of bluestone, where there were houses like bunkers.

"Adults should sleep on it, which is much cleaner than this one. And now it's hot, the wind is strong and cooler on it. There are much less mosquitoes and bedbugs than on it." Li Wenqi added.

Wu Shaoting followed the city tower that Li Wenqi pointed to, smiled meaningfully, and said, "So I still have privileges."

Li Wenqi nodded and replied, "Yes, yes."

Wu Shaoting said again: "You want to send me away, and then you can come to gather to gamble in the evening."

Li Wenqi was stunned. It seemed that Mr. Wu was really hard to fool. As Wu Shaoting guessed, the task of guarding the city gate was very relaxed. The easier it was, the more boring it became. After closing the city gate at night, gambling was the only entertainment. He secretly glanced at Wu Shaoting, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Wu Shaoting felt that it was normal for soldiers to gamble. This situation still exists in the military in the 21st century. Although it affects the atmosphere, he felt that once the soldiers lose all their money, they will be tied to the army and will not run away just because they have saved enough money.

"Remember, I don't care what you do at night. After 11 o'clock, there are no sounds in the barracks except the soldiers who patrol the night. Do you understand?" he said seriously.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely pass on Lord Wu's words." Li Wenqi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lord Wu was still very sympathetic.

After some preparation, it was almost seven o'clock, and the sky had already shined, and many farmers gathered outside the city to wait to enter the city.

Wu Shaoting was assigned the duty sequence, Li Wenqi and Wang Yun were responsible for guarding the city gate, Chen Qun's team stood on the city tower as the surveillance and cover position, and Wang Lifa's team was used as the reserve team. After everything was ready, he opened the city gate with an order.

It is indeed a very easy thing to guard the city gate, especially when there are no special martial law orders and sea arrest warrants, there is almost no need to deliberately check the people entering and leaving the city gate. Of course, in the past, several team officials at the back of the mail would definitely check the clothes and luggage of passers-by to see if there is any oil or water. Now, although Li Wenqi, Wang Yun and others still look serious and keep looking at the pedestrians coming and going, it is just because of inertia.

Wu Shaoting walked around in front of the city gate for a few times, then walked up the city tower and took a look.

He was in a relaxed mood now and did not think much about what Hu Hanmin had entrusted himself. In the current situation, when the revolutionaries appeared, they didn't even need to come forward by themselves and could pass it directly.

At this time, Chen Qun came over and took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket.

"Mr. Wu, are you smoking? This is a fine domestic product!" Chen Qun shook out one from the already deflated cigarette box and handed it to Wu Shaoting with both hands with a smile.

Wu Shaoting took the whole pack of cigarettes directly from Chen Qun and looked carefully at the outer packaging. He saw that there were two large traditional characters "Shuangxi" printed in the middle of the packaging paper, and there was a line of small traditional characters "Guangdong Nanyang Tobacco Company" below. There were only three cigarette boxes left in the whole pack, one of which was still broken.

"Oh, it's really a fine domestic product." He sighed, smoked a piece from it, and returned the cigarette box to Chen Qun. "You kid is so lonely (Cantonese: stingy), take a pack of cigarettes with only three left to curry favor with your boss."

"Mr. Wu, look at what you said, this is not a stingy man. Guangdong Nanyang Tobacco Company had gone bankrupt some time ago, and it was squeezed out by foreign tobacco companies. Now, Shuangxi Smoke is out of stock now. I have never used to foreign cigarettes, so I didn't buy any other cigarettes. These three Shuangxi Smoke can be said to be out of print, and Beixi has never been willing to smoke." Chen Qun quickly explained, holding the broken cigarette in his mouth, and then took out a match to light the cigarette for Wu Shaoting first.
