Chapter 194: Murder with a Knife (4000)

When you set off again.

The Hsmiling Army has uniformly dressed in the black robes of the "Yin Soldiers", and each of them is equipped with a captured bronze mask, but it is not worn on the face for the time being, just in case of emergency.

This is naturally Wu Liang's meaning.

From now on, as long as it is night, the Hsionaine army will be transformed into the Yin soldiers of "Shou Cao Dao".

In this way, if you encounter other "Yin Soldier" teams, you will be regarded as your own people, and there is a high probability that you can avoid conflicts.

In addition to the Yin soldiers, the "Shou Cao Dao" does not seem to have any other armed forces, which means that during the day, the Qiang army will basically not be threatened by the "Shou Cao Dao", at least not by the "Yin soldiers".

But even so, Wu Liang still won't take it lightly.

Now "Shou Cao Dao" is doing everything possible to loot materials, and the carriages and materials accompanying the Hsmiling Army are like a big piece of walking fat in the eyes of those poor and brainwashed believers.

If Han Cheng can target them tonight, then other people will be able to target them as well.

Next time, nothing will necessarily happen, after all, this place is also near the main altar of "Shou Cao Dao", and there is a possibility of encountering believers of "Shou Cao Dao" everywhere.

And in the eyes of these believers, they are heretics who can be sacrificed at any time......

Therefore, before he was sure to find the tomb, Wu Liang planned to hide the Hsmiling Army and the accompanying carriage and supplies to reduce the risk of this trip.

With such thoughts.

While Wu Liang led the army of the people along the path in the direction of the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu, he constantly ordered Yang Wanli and others to disperse into the nearby dense forests and valleys to find a suitable hiding place, and the walking speed was not fast.

And so on about an hour later.

Yang Wanli finally brought him back a piece of good news: "Childe, we found a valley two miles away from here, this valley is surrounded by cliffs on both sides to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is surrounded by dense forests, it is impossible to see the situation in the valley when walking on this path, and we have not found any signs of human activity, but it is a good hiding place." ”

"How far is this from the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu?"

Wu Liang asked.

"Roughly estimated, it should be less than ten miles."

Yang Wanli touched it and said.

"Okay, lead the way, let's go and see this feng shui treasure you said first."

Wu Liang nodded.

Less than ten miles...... It's less than an hour's walk away, but it's perfectly acceptable.

As long as the army and supplies can be settled, relying on this hiding place, the army can act separately as displaced people.

While going to the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu to check the situation, he also went to the surrounding villages and towns and even the county town of Qiancheng to inquire about the folk rumors about the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu.

As for the strange thing that Han Cheng said before......

Wu Liang felt that it should be true, because Han Cheng had no need to lie about this matter at all, but it was not easy to say what caused that strange thing to happen.

Take the two unlucky ghosts in Han Cheng's mouth as an example.

In fact, there are no witnesses who can prove that those two people have entered the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu, and the accounts of the villagers are only speculations based on their appearance.

So it's hard to say what's going on.

In short, just be careful when probing.

No matter what the situation, Wu Liang didn't want his people to be harmed, let alone want them to die here.

……

Soon after.

The army of the people of the province reached the valley where Yang Wanli was located with great difficulty.

In some places, the carriage could not pass, so the soldiers of the Hingren army unloaded the materials on the carriage, and then untied the horses, and hid the bare carriage with local materials.

Then they lead their horses or carry supplies on their backs.

At this time, the advantage of numbers was reflected, and it was still feasible for fifty or so people to carry the supplies on nine wagons.

Of course.

It is precisely because this valley is not easy to walk that Wu Liang is more and more satisfied with this hiding place.

In this way, ordinary people will not run to this kind of place to hang out, and naturally there will be no way to find out the whereabouts of the Qiangren Army, which is exactly what Wu Liang wants.

"It's a really good place."

After entering the valley, Wu Liang observed the surroundings and found that the environment here was basically in line with Yang Wanli's description, and the terrain in the valley was relatively flat, so he nodded with a smile and ordered to the soldiers of the Qiangren Army, "You can set up camp, we have been living here recently." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Hamp people were busy one after another, camping and setting up camps, and lighting fires.

Wu Liang called Yang Wanli aside again and made the next arrangement: "After dawn, you first take a few clever people to the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu to investigate and see what the situation is there, whether there are any irrelevant people in the way, and by the way, inquire about the scope of activities of 'Shoucao Dao'." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Wanli responded.

"In addition, you must pay attention to safety, if you find anything strange in the ruins of the ancient city, or encounter any special circumstances, be sure not to act without authorization, come back and report to me before making a decision, understand?"

Wu Liang added very solemnly.

"Understood."

Yang Wanli responded again, and then smiled with a shy face, "Childe, say something that shouldn't be said, do you know what the biggest difference between you and other generals is?" ”

"What?"

Wu Liang glanced at him.

"Other generals all regard the lives of soldiers as tools to make merit, only you treat the lives of soldiers as human lives, and no one can compare with you for this alone."

Yang Wanli's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I followed you at the beginning, which is undoubtedly the most correct decision I have made in my life......

", get out, hypocrisy!"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Liang had already interrupted him, and he shivered and turned around to warm his hands with his "Jingjing girl".

……

Following.

When it was close to noon, Yang Wanli, who had gone out to inquire about the news, finally rushed back and carefully reported the news to Wu Liang.

Now he had confirmed that their hiding place was actually only six or seven miles away from the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu.

That's a lot closer than last night's estimate.

And the ancient city of Qidu is indeed as Han Cheng said, at this moment, there is only a ruin left.

However, the overall architectural structure is still about fifty percent, and you can roughly see the scale and pattern of this ancient city thousands of years ago, and even among these ruins, you can still see some broken pottery shards and lacquer pieces.

In addition, the ruins are overgrown with weeds, and in some places stout trees have grown.

The roots of the trees have deformed the backlog of masonry and stone that had been neatly laid underground, and in some places have even been turned up, further damaging the structure of the ancient city ruins.

As for what Han Cheng said, it didn't appear.

Otherwise, Yang Wanli should not say a word when he comes back this time, and he may not even know Wu Liang, how can he report?

Besides.

Yang Wanli has also found out the situation of "Shou Cao Dao".

Nowadays, the general altar of "Shou Cao Dao" is indeed in Qiancheng County, and the believers are indeed mainly active in Qiancheng County, and even the county order is also a believer in Shou Cao Dao, not only to open the door to Shou Cao Dao, but also to do what Shou Cao Dao does not care.

The existing several large households in the city are also deeply related to Shoucao Road.

As for those big families and people who have not interacted with Shou Cao Dao, they have either been raided, or the poor are worthless to Shou Cao Dao, and they are dragging their families and fleeing early.

So to speak.

Now there is a miasma of smoke in Qiancheng County, in this county, the status of "Shou Cao Dao" is much more transcendent than that of the government, and the so-called "Great Sage Heavenly Master" is a veritable master, and it is up to him to decide whether to kill or take it.

In addition, Yang Wanli also found a shocking thing in Qiancheng County.

The "Great Sage Heavenly Master" went so far as to claim that if a virgin who has reached the age of ten is destroyed by his solo spell, his name will be transferred from the "dead register" to "Shou Cao" first, and not only will he be 100 years old in this life, but his family will also be blessed by God, and he will be rich and healthy and live a long life from then on.

As a result, the believers of "Shou Cao Dao" really rushed to send their unmarried daughter to the main altar to ask for the grace of the "Great Sage Heavenly Master".

Yang Wanli and the others saw a pair of parents beating and scolding their young daughters, and dragged them to the main altar, the little girl's cry spread far away, and the people around cut off their cold eyes and watched, and some people stepped forward to persuade the little girl to obey......

“……”

Hearing this, Wu Liang was completely speechless.

He has nothing to say about this so-called "Shou Cao Dao", especially this "Great Sage Heavenly Master".

There was silence for a while.

"Jingjing, go and fetch the flying slave."

Wu Liang turned around and said to Bai Jingjing, who had already clenched her pink fist and didn't know what was going on in her little brain.

"Uh-oh!"

Bai Jingjing was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, and hurriedly ran to do so.

By the time she came back, Wu Liang had already written the same lines on three pieces of silk:

"The army marched to the territory of Qiancheng County, Le'an County, Qingzhou

Trapped by Shou Cao Dao

Shou Cao Dao gathered thousands of people in the county

Quick help"

"Release the three flying slaves."

Handed over the three pieces of silk silk to Bai Jingjing, Wu Liang instructed.

These flying slaves will soon send the news to him in Chen Liu's house, and Chen Jinshui and the others will definitely ask to see Cheng Yu as soon as they see the news tied to the flying slave's legs.

Now that Chen Liu and Juancheng have established a Feinu communication network, Cheng Yu will definitely transmit the news to Boss Cao, who is temporarily living in Juancheng, in the shortest possible time.

And Boss Cao will definitely send troops to rescue him immediately.

Because Wu Liang has an irreplaceable role for him, and it is an extremely important role.

With these rabble of Shou Cao Dao alone, once the battle-hardened Cao army arrives, it will definitely be devastating, and it will not take much effort to uproot it.

This so-called "Great Sage Heavenly Master" will inevitably die.

As for those believers who have been brainwashed.

Wu Liang had already thought of their fate, and those fanatical rebels were also dead.

The remaining believers, with Boss Cao's methods, will treat the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army like they did back then, and forcibly organize them into an army to join the battlefield.

In this way, it can be regarded as a disguised recruitment for Boss Cao.

So be it.

Many of those believers have lost their brains and human taste, and are not much different from the insensitive walking dead, rather than let them continue to stay here and harm others and their wives and daughters, it is better to let them go to the battlefield to vent their excess energy, and be a person with brains in the next life.

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

After reading the words on the silk silk, Bai Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in surprise, "But you are still as scoundrel as ever, and you actually thought of this method to get rid of Shou Cao Dao with the help of Cao Jun's hand, so that the great sage heavenly master who suffered a thousand swords will definitely die!" ”

"Who told me to have a heart with Jingjing."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Humph! Who has a heart with you......"

Bai Jingjing became arrogant, snorted and happily ran to the side to release the slave.

……

In addition to the above, Yang Wanli did not find other valuable news.

As for the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu, it is no different from the rumors that Han Cheng said before.

As for the matter of Qi Aigong, the people even know that this person is very limited, not to mention his secret mausoleum, which has not found any rumors at all.

Wu Liang was not disappointed.

First beckoned everyone to make a fire to make food, and after eating, he took some tools for exploring the tomb, and took Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing, Yang Wanli, Yu Ji and the three soldiers who had gone with Yang Wanli to listen to the news and set off to the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu in person.

Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

And so on for about half an hour.

An ancient city that had long been abandoned was presented in front of Wu Liang and others.

The outermost is the city wall of the ancient city, but now this wall is an earthen wall less than 2 meters high, the top is covered with withered yellow weeds, some of the more stubborn hay is shaking slightly in the cold wind, and many places have collapsed.

Even so, the scale of the walls could still be imagined by the magnificence and grandeur of the palace.

"Yang Wanli, when you entered the ancient city early in the morning, what places did you explore?"

Standing in front of the city wall, Wu Liangzai looked at it carefully and asked.

“……”

Yang Wanli, who had always been very talkative before, didn't make any answer at the moment for some reason.

"Yang Wanli?"

Wu Liang looked back in surprise.

His speech has always been relatively clear, and the voice he spoke just now was not small, Yang Wanli had no reason not to hear it.

Moreover, Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji had already heard his words, and they were also looking back at Yang Wanli suspiciously at the moment, which proved that the problem was indeed not with Wu Liang, but with Yang Wanli.

It doesn't matter.

“……”

I saw that Yang Wanli was standing in place with a numb face at the moment, and when he saw Wu Liang and the others looking over, for some reason there was a strange look in his eyes, as if he had never known them.

And it's not just him.

Even among the three soldiers who accompanied him, one of them had exactly the same performance as Yang Wanli.

However, the remaining two people didn't seem to have a single one, and they were also looking at Yang Wanli suspiciously at the moment, and someone touched Yang Wanli and reminded in a low voice: "Uncle Yang, the son is asking you ......"
