Chapter 202: The Inner Ghost and the East Mansion
"A few of you will take the guys as soon as it gets dark and dig the reservoir upstream."
"What?" exclaimed Si Zuo at the same time, "Wouldn't this be too child's play?"
"Just kidding", he didn't say it, but he thought so in his heart.
"Yes, it's uncertain whether the water can flow or not", everyone's doubts are not unreasonable.
You must know that water does not know the way.
Tang Wen said: "Whoever asked you to dig only one, I asked you to dig all the reservoirs."
The crowd was shocked again.
"Commander Tang, how can you be sure that the enemy must be stationed in the valley, in case ......", Commander Fang carefully looked at the map, still worried.
Tang Wen smiled slightly, and pointed to the sky: "What do you think is that?"
Everyone looked up together, and saw a flock of sparrows hovering under the distant sky.
"What's going on?" the crowd still couldn't figure it out.
Long Xi's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Are you letting these birds lead the way?"
Tang Wen slapped his face, "You must know that these sparrows are the closest to people, and usually where people are, they are there."
"It is said that people die for money, and birds die for food, and the usual food of this kind of bird is grains, which is the same as our staple food."
"That's why you judge that there are so many birds, there must be so many people."
Tang Wen said: "According to the direction, the enemy's main force must be ambushed in the sky above this group of sparrows, that is, in that valley."
"Okay, done", everyone cheered.
"Everyone went to prepare and prepare, it was not easy to fight at night, so they all made their own arrangements", Tang Wen gave a brief command of other details of the battle.
After a while, everyone was still busy preparing the equipment for digging water, when suddenly two pawns came up and reported: "The enemy has withdrawn, and they are all gone."
"What?" Tang Wen, who was still recuperating on the mountain, slammed up from the ground.
"You see it all?"
"The last general can see clearly, there is no trace of the enemy in the valley or around it."
Tang Wen waved his hand, "You go, report the situation in time", he scratched his messy hair, and couldn't figure it out, "Why did you leave before the fight started."
Long Xi was not far from him, and he was also very puzzled at the moment, "Escaped? This group of enemies is really cunning enough."
Tang Wen was still slightly distracted, "No, the routine is not right."
Longxi said: "What's wrong?"
Tang Wen relieved himself, took a breath and said: "I have fought with them many times, and they have never died in the past, why this time, we just came up with a way, and they withdrew before they had time to do it, it doesn't make sense."
The suspicion in Long Xi's eyes also became thick, "You mean we have an inner ghost here?...... Someone leaked the secret in advance".
Tang Wen shook his head and said noncommittally: "It's hard to say for the time being, let's withdraw the order first."
He stood on the hillside and shouted: "All the troops are rested, the plan is canceled for the evening".
The dragon guards were in an uproar, each with their own opinions.
“……”
Long Xi's mind is also a little confused now, "Just as he was about to make a move, the enemy withdrew his troops, it's too much of a coincidence."
Tang Wen walked up to him, and suddenly thought of something, and took out a sickle-shaped weapon from the tent behind him.
Presented in front of Longxi.
Long Xi pointed and said, "What is this?"
Tang Wen flipped the sickle to the back and pointed to a protruding mark, "Cousin, take a look, is this a mark unique to Dongfu."
Long Xi naturally knew how various weapons were made, and as soon as he saw this mark, he could be 100% sure where it came from.
"Dongfu", his heart jumped suddenly, "This is left by the enemy?"
Tang Wen said truthfully: "According to Lord Qianfeng, he picked it up when he was cleaning the battlefield."
"Striker?" Long Xi looked up, "What about the others?"
Tang Wen also seemed to have just come back to his senses, "Hey, yes, I haven't seen him for a long time, what about people?"
He looked around.
"Here, Young Master Longxi, you are looking for me", suddenly ran up from the bottom of the mountain...... It seems to be a "coal-digging" miner, but I saw that his hair was more messy than Tang Wen's, and the color of his skin was completely invisible on his face.
"Are you a striker?" Long Xi looked at him, his brows furrowed, and said, "Why do you look like you're from Africa."
The striker wiped his face darker than his hand with his black hand, and complained: "Young master, don't you know how I've been living these days, I'm tired and dirty, and I'm smoked every day, can I not be dark."
Long Xi was a little apologetic, and said, "Wait a while, you can go back with me, Commander Fang still needs you over there", and then pointed to the sickle handed over by Tang Wen, "You found this thing?"
The striker hurriedly said: "Young master, that's right, now I suspect that it's all the ghosts of Dongfu."
"You doubt them too?"
"Young master, it's not clearly written on it, it's not that I suspect it, it's that the evidence is conclusive."
Long Xi took a breath, very embarrassed: "Since you have said so, it seems that you can't stop going to Dongfu."
The striker suddenly stopped him, and said with a stern expression: "No, young master, now for Dongfu, his plan has been revealed, young master, it will be dangerous for you to go again, I think it is better to directly send the dragon guardian clan over to exterminate them all."
Long Xi's heart froze, and his gaze at the forward suddenly became a little different, and everyone felt cold, and he said coldly: "You mean kill them all?"
The striker took two steps back and said nervously: "Young Master, don't blame your subordinates for being vicious, it's really too much bullying in Dongfu."
Long Xi said: "Okay, you go with me."
The striker abruptly said, "I...... Young master, you ......".
Long Xi stared at him without blinking, and smiled slightly, "I know that your martial arts are not weak, and I am relieved to have you by my side."
The striker seemed to want to say something, but Tang Wen suddenly said: "Cousin, don't be careless, I think if you really want to investigate clearly, at least let a team of dragon guards follow."
Long Xi said: "If you do this, it's strange if you don't fight, I don't want to doubt anyone before I figure out the truth of the matter, including you."
Tang Wen nodded heavily, and Long Xi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you here."
"Hmm", not loud, full of weight.
As he spoke, he and the two forwards each rode two fast horses and hurried towards Dongfu.
……
"Young master, I heard that you almost fought with Long Teng, is it true?"
Bypassing the woods in front, Dongfu was close in front of him, and Longxi deliberately looked at both sides when he passed through this woods, but fortunately this time he did not encounter any robbers who blocked the way.
Long Xi glanced at the striker, and his tone was flat, "Yes, I may not be able to see you soon, to be honest, I am not sure to beat him."
The striker denied it and said: "Why did the young master say such frustrating words, no matter how strong Long Teng is, he can't be your opponent."
Long Xi smiled slightly, "But I want to ask you, if I really fight with him, who will you help?"
The striker stopped suddenly, and although the horse was still galloping forward, he sat motionless on his horse.
Long Xi's smile was still the same, "Don't care, I'm just jokingly asking, after all, he is also the second leader of the Long family, and he should be good to you."
The striker's tears suddenly flowed out, and he said with a crying voice: "Young Master, you are suspicious of your subordinates, and you don't trust your subordinates."
"Yes, Lord Longteng used to be good to Xiao, and that was also close to before, if the young master really started with him, let alone me, I believe that the entire dragon protection clan will also stand on the young master's side."
