Chapter 963: Poison Scheme
In the blink of an eye, five or six days passed. Alborot's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger, and he asked Duolun to find out the whereabouts of Datong's craftsmen that day, and he was soon rewarded. The craftsmen were gone, and no one knew where they had gone.
Such a large number of people disappeared out of thin air, and no fool would believe it if they said that there was no cat in it. That's nearly 10,000 people, and there are a lot of equipment and tools, and if you don't have adequate preparation and planning in advance, you can't hide from everyone just by marching.
Therefore, Alborot immediately sent someone to inquire about Dongsheng again. Ordered the scouts, it doesn't matter if they can't get close for the time being, they will monitor from a distance, and report back any situation that can be detected, no matter how big or small.
If it doesn't build a city, it naturally doesn't matter, but as long as the Ming people really want to build a city, then even if they look at it from afar, they can't hide it. After all, building a city is not a small project, and even in a short period of time, you can see the clues.
"Newspaperβ"
An announcement was heard outside the tent, and Alborot put down the book in his hand and raised his hand to call in.
Duolun opened the curtain in the past, and a scout outside the door stepped in, but his expression was full of panic. As soon as he saw Alborot, he immediately knelt on one leg, stroked his chest and said, "Taiji, Dongsheng, there's news." β
Alborot's eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "Say, what's the situation?"
A hint of hesitation seemed to flash on the scout's face, but then he lowered his head slightly and said in a trembling voice, "Taiji, over there...... There's really a city being built over there. And...... And ......" At this, Suddenly Nene hesitated.
Alborot took the case, his face was full of hideousness, and he said hatefully: "Su Mo, Su Mo! Are you really looking for death? Good, good!"
He muttered and cursed, and suddenly came back to his senses, Huo Ran turned his head to look at the scout, and said angrily, "What else?
The scout gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Taiji, we have looked at the past few days, but we have found ...... It was found that the city built by the Ming people was increasing every day, until the small one left, and the city wall of dozens of zhang had been built, and the city was as high as ...... It's more than five feet long......" he said in a trembling voice, his voice full of horror.
"What?!" Alborot shuddered and was stunned. Next to him, Duolun's mouth also opened wide, and he couldn't believe what he heard. However, in a few days, a city wall of dozens of zhang long and more than five zhang long was built, is this talking about mythology? Could it be that the Ming people are all immortals?
"Bastard, full of nonsense! Haven't you all fallen for evil! An can build so many walls in just a few days?! You must be lazy and slippery, but you use such nonsense to deceive Taiji, damn it! Kill!" he was shocked, but quickly came back to his senses, rushed up and punched and kicked, and cursed.
The scouts were beaten and rolled on the ground, wailing loudly, but screaming with all their might.
"That's enough!" Alborot finally came to his senses, and shouted loudly with a grim face.
Duolun shuddered, stopped his fists and feet, and turned around and said, "Lord, subordinates will send ...... No, my subordinates will take a look for themselves. There is no such strange thing in ....... world......"
Alborot's eyes were straight, his face was uncertain, and he didn't say a word. After a long time, he let out a long breath and waved his hand dejectedly.
Duolun hurriedly said: "Lord!"
Alborot slowly sat down in his chair, his eyes were empty and out of focus, and he said faintly, "No need, that's Su Mo." β
Duolun was stunned, a little unsure of how to answer. Although Alborot's words were a little clueless, he could hear the fear of the man named Sumer. In addition to the fear, there is also a hidden deep admiration.
"Get up and tell me the details of the situation, and don't leave a single thing undone. Alborot waved his hand, suddenly turned to look at the scout on the ground and whispered.
The scout looked up at the two of them in horror, and then began to elaborate again. ββ¦β¦ On the first day we arrived there, we just saw a lot of stone pillars erected. Then, every day, countless of the same stone pillars were erected, and at the same time, on both sides of the stone pillars, bluestones were constantly piled up. At first, I didn't see what it meant, until ...... Until the day before the villain left......"
At this, the scout's eyes were filled with horror, and his whole body trembled, as if he had thought of something terrible.
ββ¦β¦ Overnight, just overnight, when we looked again the next day, we suddenly saw a long section of the city wall...... And so it appeared. The scout said in a trembling voice, his tone changing a little under the intense horror.
ββ¦β¦ Everyone said that it was a miracle, that the gods were helping the Ming people. Otherwise, how could this happen? Everyone was scared, uneasy, and they all said...... They all say......" He paused, swallowed hard, and peeked into Alborote's face.
Alborot's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly: "Say what?"
The scout trembled, and finally got heartbroken, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes: "Everyone said that Taiji deceived the Ming people to sign an alliance, but he calculated the Ming people behind his back, this is the gods punishing us." The covenant was signed in the presence of the gods, and to break the covenant was to betray the gods, so the gods were furious, and the city of the Ming people was the punishment of the gods......"
"Enough! Shut up! Shut up! If you dare to bewitch the people and disturb the hearts of our army, you should be killed!" Alborot's face was as black as a cloud, and he kicked the table over, and broke off with a burst of rage.
Without saying a word, Duolun next to him pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and in the scout's frightened gaze, he swung it violently, and with a muffled sound, a head flew high, and a three-foot-high blood fountain rose from the cavity.
Poof, the headless corpse rolled over and fell to the ground. A head with a face still full of horror rolled a few times before finally stopping at Alborot's feet. The dead eyes on his face looked straight at Alborot, as if he was still telling something, questioning something.
Whew-
Alborot was so shocked that he involuntarily took two steps back, until he touched the chair behind him, and then he stood firmly.
Duolun unsheathed his saber, stepped forward to gently support him, and whispered, "Lord." β
Alborote froze, reached out and gently pushed him away, waving his hand to indicate that it was okay. Slowly sat down in the chair, closed his eyes, and showed a deep sense of exhaustion on his face.
Duolun didn't dare to disturb, so he walked lightly to the door, called someone to come in, carried the corpse out of the tent, and cleaned it.
When he had picked up the rope again, and there was no one else in the tent, Duolun came in with a bowl of milk wine and gently placed it on the table that had been lifted up again. Looking at Alborot, who was still with his eyes closed, his face was full of worry.
"Not good!" Suddenly, Alborot seemed to think of something, and Huo Ran opened his eyes and shouted.
Startled, Duolun jumped in front of him to block him out, staring around vigilantly.
Alborot grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Quick, quickly send someone to summon all the scouts who have been released! β
Duolun looked confused, but instinctively subconsciously responded.
Alborot stomped his foot and said, "Negligence, negligence! You also heard what that guy said." If that's the case with those people, wouldn't it be ...... if this rumor spreads"
Duolun suddenly realized, and his face changed suddenly. That's right, this is a*! It's a big hidden danger! Obviously, the scouts sent to Dongsheng's side have been frightened by the strange city of the Ming people. If the remarks about the wrath and punishment of the gods were spread, then Alborot would be defeated before the battle.
If everyone in the army thinks that it is difficult to fight with the Ming people, it is equivalent to being the most right with the gods, who else dares to compete with the Ming people again? Who is willing to go?
Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else, and immediately turned around and rushed out of the big tent. Immediately, a series of trumpets sounded outside the tent, and in a short time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and gradually disappeared.
In the tent, Alboro stared fixedly at a place in front of him, his eyes sometimes furious, sometimes frightened, and uncertain. After a long time, he finally let out a long breath, with a determined look on his face, and slowly stood up.
Picked up the milk wine that was already a little cold on the table, drank it all with his neck up, put it down gently, and slowly paced up in the tent, circle and circle, until there was a sound outside the tent again, and Duolun strode in and stopped.
"Lord, it's all taken care of. Duolun whispered, his eyes glinting with a fierce glint.
Alborot nodded slightly, not asking how he was dealt with when he said it was handled. At this time, I can't help but be merciful.
"How long will it take for the Hozite to be assembled?" he asked softly.
Duolun thought for a moment and replied, "It should be about the same, and you can leave in about ten days at the latest." Then wait until you get here, and it only takes five days. β
"Fifteen days?" Alborot muttered softly, "No, it's too late......"
Duolun couldn't help sighing, but he had to persuade: "The Lord doesn't need to worry too much, in fact, even if the Ming people have some weird methods, but it will take a month or two to really build a city." We can let the Haoqi Department speed up, and we must still be able to catch up. β
Alborot squinted at him, shook his head, and said, "You have to coax the cubs when you say this, don't you know that the most important thing in a city is the city wall." As long as there is a city wall, and the Han people are good at guarding it, what can I do when the time comes?"
Duolun stammered, and he didn't dare to speak.
Alborot paced back and forth a few more steps, a touch of fierceness flashed on his face, Huo Ran stopped and said, "That's it, you send someone to the side of the Haozit Department to urge them to speed up as much as possible." Also, I remember, there seem to be quite a few horse bandits around the Hetao, right?"
Duolun nodded at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but be startled, and Huo raised his head to look at Alborot.
"Lord, what do you mean......" he asked, tentatively and in disbelief.
Alborot's face was gloomy, and he said indifferently: "What do I mean? It's just that in such a plump place, a large piece of fat suddenly appeared, and it is not surprising that some horse bandits are tempted. Well, of course, there are horse bandits who have robbed our allies, and it is only right for us to rush to the rescue after receiving the report, right?"
The look of shock on Duolun's face faded away, and it was replaced by a full of respect. nodded and said: "Rest assured, my lord, those damn horse bandits, sneak attack our Ming allies, we will never let them go." The subordinates will arrange it, and they must pay a sufficient price!"
In the tent, Alborot stood quietly with his hands in his hands, and his face flickered and dimmed under the beating of the light of the butter candle......
