Chapter 960: Cuckoo

Wu Song had been in an army before, so he knew something about it.

Wu Song followed this order and found a row of tents.

At first glance, these tents look no different from any other tent. However, at the door of each tent, there were one or two soldiers, which meant that the officers lived there.

Wu Song and Zhang Jian circled around this row of tents and found a relatively remote tent.

The tent was farther away from the other tents because of the terrain.

Next to the tent where Wu Song and Zhang Jian came, Wu Song listened attentively, but there was no sound in the tent.

He used the long sword in his hand to make a crack in the tent, and then drilled into it with Zhang Jian one after another.

There was no one in the tent, there was a bed on the west side, and there was no other furniture. There was a mess on the ground, including armor, swords, dishes, and dishes.

Wu Song quietly came to the door and looked out through the gap in the curtain.

At the door stood a guard, meticulously holding a spear, looking ahead, not seeing anything in the tent.

After a few moments, a man walked towards the tent.

Wu Song estimated that this person was the officer who lived in the tent, and he and Zhang Jian were hiding at the door.

The officer came to the door, gave some instructions to the guards, and then lifted the curtain and entered the tent.

Wu Song's eyes were quick, and at the same time as the officer had just entered, he slashed his neck with a palm.

The military engineer didn't even snort, and fainted.

On the other hand, Zhang Jian rushed outside at the same time as Wu Song's shot, knocked the guards outside with a punch, and then dragged him into the tent.

After tying up the officers and guards, Wu Song held down the officer's pulse and injected a trace of Yuan Force.

The officer screamed and woke up.

"Who are you?" After the officer woke up, he looked at Wu Song and Zhang Jian calmly.

"We didn't come here for any other purpose, we just wanted to find a woman, do you know Hua Qi?" Wu Song got straight to the point.

"Hua Qi, that flower thief?" the officer thought for a moment.

"Yes, he often sells the women he has taken captive to you, has he been here tonight?" As soon as Wu Song heard that the officer knew Hua Qi, he immediately felt that there was hope in this matter.

"It is true that he often sells women to us," the officer nodded, "but he hasn't been here tonight." ”

"What?" Zhang Jian was originally full of hope, but he didn't expect the officer to immediately pour a basin of cold water on him, "Could he be coming, but you didn't see it?"

"There is a tent in the army, which is specially for the soldiers to play, every time Hua Qi brings a woman here, he will go there, I just came from there, if he comes, I will definitely know. The officer mercilessly cut off Zhang Jian's hope.

"What should I do then?" Zhang Jian said in despair, nearly two hours had passed since the disappearance of the little junior sister, and he was really worried that something would happen for such a long time.

"Brother Zhang, don't despair first, since there is no here, let's just look elsewhere. Wu Song comforted Zhang Jian.

At this moment, neat footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent. The sound of footsteps was heard by a group of soldiers running.

Wu Song's heart was broken, he grabbed the officer's collar, "You dare to play tricks?"

"Hmph!" the officer showed no fear, his face disdainful, "it's you who don't understand the rules, don't blame me." The guards outside the tent weren't just for my safety, they were a signal.

If the guards are there, then there is no situation here. If the guards are not there, then the soldiers patrolling outside will know that something is going on here. ”

It's really impossible to prevent it, Wu Song didn't expect that there would be such an arrangement in the army.

He grabbed the officer by the collar and pushed the officer outside the tent.

At this time, the outside of the tent was surrounded by a group of soldiers, and the soldiers at the front were crossbowmen, and sharp arrows flashing with cold light were aimed at Wu Song and them.

Wu Song shouted, "Don't act rashly, otherwise I will kill this person!"

One of the leading officers shouted, "This man has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it is already a crime of dereliction of duty, and it is not a pity to die." Don't worry about his life, shoot the arrow!"

The crossbowman pulled the trigger, and arrows flew over.

Wu Song simply pushed the officer away, turned into a Yuanli long sword in his hand, and danced impermeably to protect his body.

The arrows were shattered one by one by the sword and fell to the ground.

The crossbowmen were divided into three teams, and after the first team had finished shooting, the second team followed, followed by the third team.

By the time the three teams had fired, almost every inch of the ground was filled with arrows, and the officer had already targeted, and his body was full of arrows.

Wu Song and Zhang Jian each held a long sword and protected their bodies.

The leading officer was furious, drew his steel knife, pointed at Wu Song and the others, and shouted, "Kill them!"

Those soldiers raised their spears one after another and rushed towards Wu Song.

Wu Song didn't want to entangle with these soldiers, took Zhang Jian, spread his flame wings behind his back, and prepared to fly into the air and run away.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, "Brother Wu Song, can you talk to me?"

Wu Song followed the prestige, and a woman stood behind the soldiers. The soldiers moved out of the way, and the woman came to the front and looked at Wu Song.

She was a young woman, probably in her early twenties, dressed in a bright red dress, with a pearl hairpin stuck in her head, the pearls on which shone in the light of the torches.

Wu Song landed on the ground and looked at the woman, "Who are you?

The woman smiled slightly, "The concubine's name is Du Juan, and she is the queen's personal maid, and she came here for official business this time." The concubine had never met the monk before, and she couldn't talk about knowing each other. ”

"Then why do you know my name, and what are you going to talk to me about?" Wu Song was a little puzzled.

"I know your name, it was told to me by this military master. Cuckoo said, gesturing to a soldier beside him.

The soldier was in his thirties, and Wu Song glanced at the other party, but he didn't know him.

"This military master didn't work here on an errand before, he was only transferred here three days ago," Du Juan seemed to know the doubts in Wu Song's heart, and explained, "He used to be on an errand in the Wolf's Head Fort hundreds of kilometers away from here, Monk Wu Song must have an impression of that place, right?"

Wu Song suddenly understood, as soon as Du Juan said this, he understood. In the Wolf's Head Fort, Wu Song turned the tide and helped the defenders there to defend the Wolf's Head Fort, and many people had seen Wu Song at that time, whether it was the defenders or the enemy there.

That soldier should be one of them, and after he saw Wu Song just now, he recognized it.

"What does that girl want to talk to me about?" Wu Song was a little curious about this.

"Monk Wu Song's skills are so strong, I have actually heard of them before. "At that time, the queen knew that Long Tian once wanted to recruit you, but you didn't agree, and we all felt that you were a person who understood righteousness." ”

"You guys are wrong," Wu Song smiled, "I rejected Long Tian only because I didn't want to be drawn into a political struggle. If it were a queen, I would also refuse. ”

"But there's one thing you won't refuse. The cuckoo was confident, with a confident smile on his face, "That is justice, only for justice, you will definitely die without hesitation."

I've heard that the reason why you came here late at night was to find a woman who had been kidnapped by a flower thief named Hua Qi. You thought the woman would be here, but she wasn't. ”

Wu Song was a little surprised, this woman named Du Juan was not simple. In such a short period of time, she was able to find out Wu Song's intentions clearly, which was not easy.

The officer was dead, and all she had to know about it was to ask from the people of the Pear Blossom Gang in the city.

"You're right," Wu Song generously admitted, wanting to hear what the cuckoo would say next.

"You don't really have a clue how to find that woman next," the cuckoo said methodically, "that woman is in the hands of the flower thief, and she may be in danger at any time."

We have been operating in the neighborhood for many years, and within a radius of hundreds of miles, there are many ears, eyes and dark piles. As soon as I give the order, then they will all go looking for the woman.

I promise that within three hours I will find the whereabouts of the woman. ”

"What about the conditions?" Wu Song naturally understood that there was no free lunch in the world, and the other party must have something to ask for.

"Brother Wu Song is really a smart man," there was appreciation in Du Juan's tone, "Then we don't talk darkly, seventy miles away from here, there is a mountain called Iron Axe Ridge, which is a strategic place.

Now that place is in Long Tian's hands, we want to take it.

Iron Axe Ridge, like Wolf's Head Fort, is an easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain. To attack with ordinary soldiers is basically to die in vain, and there is no hope of taking it at all.

We hope that Brother Wu Song can be used as a surprise force to help us take the Iron Axe Ridge. ”

Wu Song groaned, he didn't want to get involved in the war between Long Tian and the Empress, and he didn't want to join either side of the two sides. But now he seemed to have no choice, except to help the queen capture the Iron Axe Ridge, he couldn't think of any other way to save Zhang Jian's little junior sister.

Du Juan is right, Wu Song can refuse anything, but justice alone can't refuse.

Although Zhang Jian's little junior sister didn't have any friendship with him, Wu Song couldn't do this kind of thing when he saw her in danger and stood by.

Soon, Wu Song made a decision, "Okay, I promise you, I will help you take the Iron Axe Ridge." However, you must find Hua Qi's whereabouts first, and then I will go to Iron Axe Ridge, otherwise, everything will not be discussed. ”

"It's a deal!" The cuckoo was very happy.

Afterwards, Du Juan asked Wu Song and Zhang Jian to wait in their tent, and her subordinates gave a few orders, so they sat with Wu Song and waited together.
