Chapter 41: The Great Ming Illusion Array

As the two of us expected, when the two eyes of the statue were pressed together, the wall at the end of the corridor slowly rose, I shone the lamp inside, the light only hit a meter away, it is strange to say, just across the distance of a wall, the searchlight outside can still illuminate the environment normally, and the darkness inside is thick and impenetrable, I signaled Lu Worm to be more careful, and the two of them stepped in.

As soon as I entered, I heard a loud bang behind my ears, I looked back, okay, the wall fell again, but this time there was no statue to press the eyes again, this mechanism seems to be one-way, obviously can only enter but not out, I and Lu Worm stumbled into each other, should have encountered another way in.

Because of the need to dive, we are barefoot, underwater wearing diving shoes on the shore on the shore, I walked a few steps, I feel that the ground under my feet is not flat, there are many concaves, I lie on the ground with a lamp to look at for a while, there are indeed some engraved lines and patterns, but unfortunately the scope of the light is really limited, with these just a few irregular lines I can not judge anything, I have to hide the doubt in the bottom of my heart, continue to move forward.

Just walked for a while, Lu Worm couldn't hold his breath, and began to mumble to himself, I know his problem, people stay in the silence and darkness for a long time and are easy to be distracted, Lu Worm's self-talk is actually constantly forcibly gathering concentration, to be honest, I was actually a little distracted, I simply chatted with Lu Worm, when I went into the water, he wrote a ghost in the palm of my hand, I didn't have time to ask him, as soon as this was raised, Lu Worm's whole person was excited, I also thought it was funny, how could there be such a Tufuzi who likes gossip。

Lu Worm first told me about the day they went to the West Lake, similar to what I thought, the West Lake tour is fake, and the contact with the people of Ping Hokusai is true, they didn't know that I met Lu Tianyi with Lu Yuan, so they made a plan to start acting the next day, which was originally a matter of course, unexpectedly, there was a shopkeeper who objected, insisting that he did not agree with everyone to go into the water at one time, and the objection was forgotten, but everyone asked him why, he still refused to say, and the deacon Jiang Nan changed his face on the spot, and before he had time to attack, he was stopped by Qin Gong。

This shopkeeper is Yu Youde, who went into the water with us, he belongs to the direct jurisdiction of Duke Qin, after Duke Qin stopped Jiang Nan, he asked Yu Youde a few words, Yu Youde just drooped his head and didn't speak, Duke Qin couldn't, so he had to make a decision for him, the plan was as usual, Yu Youde saw that Duke Qin spoke, and he no longer objected, until they went back, and heard about Lu Cheng's death, so they were forced to adjust the plan and let others act first, and we went into the water in the second batch.

After deciding to act in two batches, Yu Youde took the initiative to ask to be transferred to the second batch to meet us, Jiang Nan was very dissatisfied with this, but Yu Youde's request was reasonable, and several other shopkeepers had no opinions, so Jiang Nan was forced to suppress his anger and agree to the matter.

After listening to Lu Worm, I frowned and fell into contemplation, this thing is indeed a little wrong, even from my perspective as a bystander, I don't think there is anything wrong with Jiang Nan's decision, since Yu Youde is against it, even if he doesn't say it, then there must be a reason, since there is a reason, why can't he say it, even if he can't trust others, there is no reason why he can't trust Qin Gong, and after the action is adjusted, why does he insist on setting off with the rear team, what is he worried about and scruples?

Thinking of this, I asked Lu Worm to carefully recall the scene at that time, isn't there a sentence that is good, the answer is often hidden in inconspicuous details.

Lu Worm thought for a while and said to me, "Brother Wu, if there is really any problem, I think that Yu Youde's opposition to the plan itself is problematic, we have been in the industry for so long, and we know a lot of shopkeepers, when have you ever heard of the shopkeeper and the master are in discord? ”

I nodded, Lu Worm is right, no matter which gang or faction, no one dares to take people who are not in line with their hearts to go to the ground, this is a legal society on the ground, but there are no rules underground. For example, two groups of people act together, one group dares to say something to the other group to wait and see, the result is either that the action is canceled, or the ground is on fire and can see it, Yu Youde dares to argue with Deacon Jiang Nan, which is indeed very revealing.

According to what Xiao Meng told us before, Jiang Nan, as a deacon of one of the four halls of spring, summer, autumn and winter, belongs to the direct management of the head of the Pingbei Zhai Building, which is equivalent to the establishment of the general of the Yulin Army, and Yu Youde, as a shopkeeper under the elder Qin Gong, is at best an infantry captain, the two can be said to be different, how dare Yu Youde oppose Jiang Nan's opinion.

Thinking of this, I said, " Worm, in this way, there are only two possibilities, the first, Yu Youde is not a person from Ping Hokusai, I don't think this possibility is very likely, Ping Hokusai is so close to the West Lake under this thing, it is impossible to leak the news to outsiders, the second is this, it is Yu Youde, the identity of the shopkeeper is just a cover, he must have another position in Ping Hokusai, as for the level of this position, first of all, from the point of view that he dares to argue with Jiang Nan, it should not be low, but according to your story, Jiang Nan also dares to turn his face without scruples, then his position is not higher than Jiang Nan, in my opinion, most of the two people are at the same level and different departments, so they can do this。 ”

Lu Worm said yes, and then said, "I think so too, the three guys under Yu Youde don't have the kind of ruffian spirit of ordinary guys at all, and they can be described as strict in their words and deeds, but they feel similar to the two people under Jiang Nan, not so much that he is responding to us, but that there are many elements to monitor us, hmph, it's okay to get separated, anyway, I don't like these people in Pinghokusai, let them fight hard." ”

Indeed, I sighed in my heart, Hei Hokusai is taking the old road of inspectors and supervising the army, although such an important action, no matter how important it is, it can't be overstated, but this move itself conveys the meaning of distrust, no wonder Jiang Nan is so disgusted, I'm afraid that anyone will have the same feeling.

I chatted with Lu Worm and walked, I didn't know how far I walked in the dark, I didn't know how far I went, I was right, to put it mildly, it was completely following instinct to move, there was no purpose, Lu Worm was also a little irritable, and kept cursing, I just wanted to persuade him to save energy, I felt a burst of white light suddenly rise in front of me, I couldn't see anything, and even my brain fell into a blank.

This kind of blank brain and eyes lasted for a while, I felt that I gradually returned to normal, first of all, there was a boiling human voice in my ears, there were cannon shots from time to time in the distance, there were bursts of gunpowder smoke and heavy smell of blood in my nose, and the blurred scene in my eyes gradually became clear, it turned out to be a large crowd of people fighting each other, I was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, this should be an ancient battlefield.

I hurriedly looked at myself, holding a spear in my hand, wearing a set of long armor, I didn't have time to think about what the situation was, I saw someone with a knife at me, hit your lungs, I shot a long knife, kicked him in the chest, and then took advantage of him to fall to the ground with a shot to stab in, I looked around, Lu Worm had just killed a person, saw me and hurriedly ran over, and shouted loudly, "Brother Wu, what's the situation, aren't we in the West Lake Underground Palace, why did you come here to fight with someone?" ”

While concentrating on the surroundings, I replied loudly, no way, the battlefield is too noisy, and I can't hear it at all when the voice is so quiet, "Do you remember those lines that I looked at when I was lying on the ground before? I will figure it out, that is the formation diagram, we are now in the phantom array, you be careful, I don't know what the phantom array is, don't die carelessly in it!"

Lu Worm didn't dare to be careless when he heard that it was so serious, fortunately, the two of us are Lian Jiazi, the enemy troops on this battlefield are mostly ordinary people, where is our opponent, I guarded with Lu Worm for a while, and more and more people came, I saw that this is not good, don't care about the phantom array, there is no reason to stand still and be able to crack it, I communicated with Lu Worm, and simply took the initiative to attack and kill the enemy.

This phantom array is not reality after all, I fought so hard with Lu Worm, I didn't feel the exhaustion of physical strength, with the support of such a rebellious plug-in, the two of us really found the pleasure of being stubborn and invincible, and the two of them were like tigers into the flock, and the enemy lost their armor and collapsed for thousands of miles.

The pleasure didn't last long, and I had a blank mind in front of me again, it seems that the two of us should have broken through the first act, the phantom array is like this, if you want to break the formation, the easiest way is to meet the wishes of the arrayer, just now on the battlefield, the condition set by the arrayer should be to fight bravely to kill the enemy, if Lu Worm and I don't take the initiative to attack, it's hard to say how long we will be trapped.

The white light receded, and the surrounding environment seemed to be in a big tent, and I stood under the tent with Lu Wormzi, and there was a general sitting behind the military shore in the tent, his face was full of joy, obviously very satisfied with the previous victory, and he twisted his beard and said loudly, "The two generals are so brave, this commander will definitely be on the table and canonize the two!"

I didn't even have time to say a word with Lu Worm, the scene was a change, and it was a battlefield, the difference was that this time Lu Worm and I became bystanders and no longer participated in it, and Lu Worm and I overlooked the entire battlefield from a God's perspective.

The belligerents are clearly clothed and armored, one side is playing the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and the other side is not clear, but from the lightning rod on the general's hat, I can see that it is the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Dynasty, after all, the top helmet of the Ming army is a feather, and the difference is still quite big.

From the perspective of me and Lu Worm, the number of Ming troops is almost twice as large as that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this is simply a war of non-parity, as the old saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, Lu Worm looked at it and was happy, leaned over and said, "Brother Wu, this battle is too easy to fight, it's just that there are more people and fewer people are bullying, just don't beat these northern barbarians to the bum." ”

I didn't answer his words, but I actually thought so in my heart, but I didn't expect that the development of the battle situation was far beyond our expectations.
