Chapter 398: Night Exploration of the Old Demon Ground Worm Camp
The sky was pitch black, without a trace of wind, and the entire Shuai Mansion was immersed in a dark silence.
Suddenly, the sound of the gong of the third watch rang from a distance, and as soon as the gong stopped, he saw a man dressed in black flying out of the back wall of the Shuaifu.
After a while, another man came out of the wall, and then hurried north as well.
Judging from the direction they went, they should all go to the Luoyang King Military Camp.
The military camp of the king of Luoyang is covered with military tents, one by one, dense and unsightly, and a large wooden shelf is erected in the open space between each tent, and several lit torches are inserted on the beam at the top of the wooden shelf, and the burning torches shine brightly on the whole camp.
A patrol guard with spears went back and forth between the tents.
As soon as a patrol approached, a man dressed in black landed between two tents.
This person is Li Yinglong, who is wearing a night suit.
Li Yinglong looked left and right and then walked cautiously to the door of a camp tent, then reached out and lifted the door curtain to look inside, and then flashed in, when he came out again, he had already changed into a military uniform, and then walked forward in the camp tent with a straight stride.
On the other side of the barracks, on a wooden shelf in an open space next to the tent, several torches were suddenly extinguished, and the outside of the tent immediately fell into darkness, and then a ghostly figure floated out from behind a tent, and stood in front of the door of the tent without a sound.
This ghostly man is the black-headed man who has come to explore the camp.
Then he listened to the tent, and then gently opened a gap in the curtain of the door with his hand and peeked in.
Several large candles were lit in the tent, and the inside of the tent was as bright as day.
I saw the king of Luoyang standing in front of a wall with a large map hanging on it, looking at it for a long time and thinking.
Xiahou Yinglan sat on a big chair next to the handsome desk, holding her belly with both hands, closing her eyes and recuperating.
The King of Luoyang, who was looking at the map, suddenly turned his head to Xiahou Yinglan and asked: Yinglan, have you found anything unusual in the city this time, such as the movement of the imperial court, the movement of the army, and what kind of masters they invited to help, etc.?
Xiahou Yinglan opened her eyes leisurely, and then shook her head: I didn't find anything abnormal, but the four city gates were much stricter than before, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the city gate without special permission.
Hearing this, the king of Luoyang said in a very skeptical tone: This situation is not right, the court will never know about the situation on my side, and even they should already know who I hired with a lot of money, but why are they indifferent?
Hearing this, Xiahou Yinglan thought for a while and said: It can't be said that it is indifferent, hasn't the imperial court already made the prefect surnamed Li the generalissimo of counterinsurgency.
Luoyang Wang Dao: Although the kid surnamed Li has a lot of ghost ideas and is difficult to deal with, but after all, he is too young to lead troops to fight, not to mention whether he understands the art of war, as far as his age and qualifications, which of the commanders of the four major military camps outside the city is much older than him, will they listen to the orders of such a hairy child? What did the little emperor think, and why did he come out to be the generalissimo? He's not afraid of making a mistake, right?
Hearing this, Xiahou Yinglan reminded: Lord Wang, don't forget, this
Next to the kid is a large number of top masters of the Central Plains martial arts family. And his master Xitou Tuo is a master among the masters. The little emperor may have made him generalissimo for this point. Besides, this kid is indeed a little clever, didn't he prove it when he was the magistrate of Luoyang.
The king of Luoyang disdainful: That's just a little cleverness, the two armies are facing each other, especially the hundreds of thousands of armies, just a little cleverness is far from enough, what is needed is great wisdom.
After that, he paused and thought for a while, and then said: This king analyzed, the reason why this kid became the generalissimo is very likely to be that the queen mother played a role, after all, he is the biological son of the queen mother, and he has suffered a lot in the people, and the queen mother feels very guilty and owes him a lot, so he forced the little emperor to make him a generalissimo, the purpose of which is to make him make a great contribution, so that he can be crowned with the title of a prince in the future. Haha, the abacus is very satisfying, but can this king allow him to make any merits.
Xiahou Yinglan shook her head: I don't think it's that simple, being a generalissimo is equivalent to controlling the military power of the whole country, and he is the emperor's elder brother.
Hearing this, the king of Luoyang was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said with a smile: There is this possibility, there is this possibility, but no matter what the possibility, in the end, the throne must be obediently given to the king.
Xiahou Yinglan smiled and nodded: This is natural, although the imperial court has more troops than ours, and all the major sects of the Central Plains martial arts support that kid, but they are not capable of resisting the four strange soldiers of the four elders hired by the prince with a lot of money.
Suddenly, I seemed to think of something again: By the way, Lord Wang, I don't know if the last batch of ant soldiers of the ground worm has arrived, how about we go and take a look?
Hearing this, the king of Luoyang nodded: Okay, I can't sleep anyway, let's see a rare scene.
After that, he walked out of the account, and Xiahou Yinglan hurriedly got up from the chair and walked out behind him.
Seeing that the king of Luoyang and Xiahou Yinglan walked out, the black head dodged and hid behind a camp tent on the side.
After a while, the King of Luoyang and Xiahou Yinglan walked out of the handsome tent one after another.
Seeing that the torches on the wooden shelves were extinguished, the king of Luoyang couldn't help but wonder: Hey, why did the torches go out, and there was no wind tonight.
Hearing this, Xiahou Yinglan turned her head and looked around and smiled: There have been people here, and the torches were deliberately extinguished by someone who came.
The king of Luoyang was shocked: What, someone has come, so we have a spy in the barracks, this is worth it, hurry up and send an alarm to search for the spies who have been mixed in.
Hearing this, Xiahou Yinglan waved her hand: Lord Wang, there is no need, you can come and go freely in our heavily guarded military camp without being discovered, which shows that the martial arts and light skills of the people who come are terrifying, so this person is not easy to catch, or cannot be caught at all.
Once we raise the alarm, the whole barracks will be moved, and there will be a mess in the barracks. This will make us all highly nervous.
It's good to catch that person, but if we don't, then we lose more than we gain. Therefore, let's let him go, anyway, our military intelligence is not afraid of him to investigate.
In Xiahou Yinglan's imagination, the person who came should be Li Yinglong, since it is this kid, then sell him a face, let him see it as much as he wants, maybe he will resign from the difficulty when he sees the strong strength here, and take his family to avoid this war. If that's the case, that's the best thing
came, not only to protect this kid, but also to avoid the embarrassment of confronting him head-on.
But she didn't expect that the person who came here was a black-headed tuo, but her judgment was not wrong, Li Yinglong did come, but not in this place.
Hearing this, the king of Luoyang nodded: Yes, it makes sense, then don't pay attention to him, let him be optimistic about it casually.
After a moment's pause, he said arrogantly: If he has the guts, then come with us to the Earth Worm Hero to have a look.
The king of Luoyang can really rub the rouge and powder the ground insects, a big devil, what kind of hero is he called, and the name of the hero is dirty and stained.
Xiahou Yinglan turned her head and looked at the tent where the black head was hiding and smiled: It should be, otherwise, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing.
After that, he waved his hand to the king of Luoyang: Lord Wang, let's go.
The two of them walked forward, and soon disappeared into the night.
The black-headed man came out from the back of the tent, looked in the direction where the two were walking, and muttered: What a great girl, no wonder the little bastard was so fascinated by her.
With that, he walked up to the wooden shelf, reached out and took out a fire from his bosom and shook it, and then lit the extinguished torches one by one, and then rose and flew out.
Li Yinglong, who was wearing a military uniform, came to a strange camp, so it was strange because there was no camp tent in this camp, but there were countless huge wooden boxes, each wooden box was more than 20 meters long, three or four meters wide, and two meters high, neatly arranged in the camp, and the four sides of the camp were surrounded by logs with the thickness of the bowl.
Li Yinglong was very curious, broke a log pillar and got in.
After entering, he carefully looked around, but there was not a single sentry in the big camp, not even a patrol, and the whole camp was quiet, like a dead camp with no people.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yinglong walked towards the giant wooden boxes, and came to the front of those giant wooden boxes, Li Yinglong first stretched out his hand and touched it, feeling that the wood was very hard and thick, and then, he was very curious and put his ear on the wooden box and listened carefully inside.
At this moment, a strange sound of "wooing" came from the air, and he hurriedly looked up at the dark night sky, only to see a large piece of black pressing something flying from the air in the west, and after a while, these things flew over the camp, and then slowly fell to the ground from the air, and it turned out to be some huge large wooden boxes.
The wooden boxes landed one by one on the open space of the camp and lined up neatly, and then Li Yinglong realized that on the top of each large wooden box sat cross-legged a strange man dressed in white and with loose hair.
After reading it, Li Yinglong couldn't help but think: No wonder these big wooden boxes can fly, it turns out that these demons are doing ghosts.
Li Yinglong was afraid that he would be discovered by these demons, so he hurriedly hid in the gap between the boxes.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the laughter of the king of Luoyang coming from the west: Hahaha-------
Then I heard him say loudly: This king is really eye-opening tonight, and the wooden box can still fly.
With the landing of the words of the king of Luoyang, the words of the earth worm came leisurely: What is this magical, wait for the old man to let the prince see more magical things.
Luoyang Wang Dao: Okay, good, hurry up and let this king see and understand, this king can't wait.
