"Chief, look, it's been found on him." Just as the two sides were tense, the man who was taking off Li Ruzhu's clothes came to the old man with a jade weapon in his hand and reported.

The old man took the jade artifact handed over by his hand, looked at it carefully, and immediately waved his bony hand and shouted, "Stop!" ”

Hearing the old man's shout, his subordinates hurriedly put away their weapons and looked at the old man who walked down the platform and came to everyone in confusion.

"Who is he? How can you have the king's white jade tiger talisman in your hands? The old man came to Luo Shiyin and asked cautiously.

"This ......" Luo Shiyin was speechless for a while, and he couldn't decide whether to tell the other party Li Ruzhu's true identity for a while.

Along the way, Li Ruzhu never told everyone that he was carrying the white jade tiger talisman of the king of North Korea. You must know that this white jade tiger talisman is a talisman used by King Li Hao to mobilize soldiers and horses.

"Go, get some water. Wake it up. Seeing Luo Shiyin's spitting appearance, the old man ordered his subordinates to bring a basin of water and wake up Li Ruzhu.

"Where is this?" Stimulated by the cold water, Li Ruzhu slowly woke up. He looked at the crowd around him in front of him and asked weakly.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, is this your jade plate?" When the old man saw Li Ruzhu wake up, he raised the white jade tiger talisman in front of Li Ruzhu and asked.

"You are ......" Li Ruzhu, who saw the tiger talisman, was so shocked that he sat up, and he looked at the old man and his subordinates with a pair of frightened eyes.

"We are the guards of the tomb of the concubine. Just now my men met you at the tomb of the princess and brought you here. The old man said to Li Ruzhu.

Following the direction of the old man's finger, Li Ruzhu found Luo Shiyin and others standing aside.

"I am Li Ruzhu, a staff officer of the Pyongyang garrison. Quickly untie him. We're all friends. Li Ruzhu saw that Xie Yuan was tied up with five flowers, and hurriedly said.

"Hurry up, untie this friend!" Hearing Li Ruzhu's self-introduction, the old man hurriedly ordered his subordinates.

"Ouch, you can strangle me." Xie Yuan, who was loosened, stretched his limbs as much as he could.

"Everyone's alright, right?" Li Ruzhu stood up, walked to Luo Shiyin's side and asked.

"It's fine. Are you all right? Luo Shiyin said.

"It's fine, it feels like I've slept well." Li Ruzhu scratched her head with her hand and replied.

"Captain Bingjie Hu Buda led his subordinates to see the general." After Li Ruzhu and Luo Shiyin finished speaking, the old man just now led his subordinates to come forward to give Li Ruzhu a salute.

"No courtesy. Get up. Li Ruzhu waved at the old man and his men.

"General Xie!" The old man led the crowd to their feet.

Judging from the respectful attitude of the old man and his subordinates, Li Ruzhu's official position is much higher than that of the old man.

"General Li, these are ......" The old man looked at Luo Shiyin, Shi Lang and the other five people and asked Li Ruzhu.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. These are our most important friends and benefactors of our country. Li Ruzhu did not tell the old man the true identities of the team members.

"I was offended just now, I hope you forgive me!" Although the old man did not understand Li Ruzhu's introduction, he still humbly apologized to Luo Shiyin and the other five people.

"It's okay, you're the duty too." Luo Shiyin said to the old man.

"Captain Hu, hurry up and get something to eat. From morning to now, my friends still haven't eaten a drop of water. Li Ruzhu urged the old man.

"It's just that my stomach is hungry." Shi Tianji muttered.

"Okay, hurry up and prepare food and drinks for General Li and them." The old man commanded his men.

When the old man's subordinates were preparing food and drink, at the request of Li Ruzhu, the old man arranged for the team to take a bath in a hot spring cave not far behind the mountain. When he learned from Li Ruzhu's mouth that Ye Ruliu's daughter was behind, the old man specially instructed the second leader to call his wife to accompany Ye Ruliu to take a bath.

The cave is artificially divided into two baths, the male and female baths, the larger of which are used by the brothers on the mountain for bathing every day. The women's bathhouse was relatively small and was used by the daughters of the brothers who had families on the mountain.

Since leaving Asan Town in the morning, the team members have been fighting all the way, and the team members at this time are already gray and covered with mud and sweat.

Under the guidance of the second leader and his wife, the team members came to bathe in the hot spring cave behind the mountain.

"Hey, Lao Shi. How can't I remember how I got to this guard station from the cave? Soaking in the steaming hot spring, Li Ruzhu seemed to think of something, and he asked Shi Tianji beside him.

"This ...... This ......" Shi Tianji recalled the violent methods he took against Li Ruzhu, and felt a little embarrassed, and in the face of Li Ruzhu's questioning, he didn't know how to answer.

"General Li, you were poisoned by the flower poison of the corpse incense konjac flower in the cave at that time, and you fainted at that time. It was Lao Shi who carried you out of the tomb. Shi Lang saw Shi Tianji's embarrassed face, and hurriedly covered for him.

"Oh...... Oh yes, yes, I recited you. You're tired of my stinky sweat. Hey, hey, hey. Shi Tianji gratefully squeezed his eyes at Shi Lang.

"Thank you, Lao Shi." Li Ruzhu hurriedly thanked Shi Tianji.

"Thank you, who made me exert a lot of strength. It's not a problem to carry a person. However, I was just hungry. Later, you can ask the old gentleman to prepare more big fish and meat, even if you thank me. I've got to have a good meal. Shi Tianji touched his flat stomach and said to Li Ruzhu.

"No problem, make sure it's enough." Li Ruzhu said.

"Lao Shi, if you don't eat for a few days in a row, you won't be hungry and crazy." Xie Yuan took Shi Tianji to find a topic.

"He's not just hungry, he can't be so hungry that Lao Shi hangs himself." Shi Lang is Xie Yuan's helper.

"Don't just talk about me, let you both go hungry for a few days on end. Maybe you two were so hungry that you cried dad and called your mother. Especially you, the 'water snake waist', are not in good health, if you are hungry for a few more days, you will not be hungry into a skull. Shi Tianji countered.

"Why don't we try it together. We'll neither eat when we go back later, and we'll see who can hold it. Xie Yuan said to Shi Tianji.

"I'm not fooled by you. Thinking about the fact that there are so many delicacies on the table, whoever doesn't eat them will not be a fool. I don't want to compete with you. I'm still waiting for a good meal. Shi Tianji shook his head and said.

"Lao Shi is called eating well, sleeping, in good health, and without troubles." Luo Shiyin also said jokingly.

"That's it, or the adults are right. Only by feeding your stomach first can you have a good body. Come, look at my mighty muscles. Shi Tianji said, wading over to Xie Yuan's side, deliberately comparing his muscles with Xie Yuan's thin body.

"Okay, Lao Shi, count you as powerful. I'm willing to bow down, can't I? Xie Yuan looked at Shi Tianji's tendons and flesh, and took the initiative to admit defeat.

"That's pretty much it." Shi Tianji saw that Xie Yuan had surrendered, so he sat next to Xie Yuan, lowered his head and scrubbed his shoulders vigorously.

"Hey, General Li, where did the tiger talisman on your body come from?" Xie Yuan suddenly remembered the scene in the Fang Cai Cave Hall, and asked.

"Don't hide it from you, before we leave from Yizhou, my king secretly handed over this tiger talisman to me, and repeatedly instructed me to ensure the safety of several heroes along the way, and when needed, you can use this tiger talisman to mobilize any imperial army in the territory." Li Ruzhu replied.

"After returning to Uiju, General Lee will definitely express his gratitude to the king for us. Thank you to him for being so thoughtful for us. Luo Shiyin said to Li Ruzhu.

"Don't be so polite, my lord, several heroes have come all the way to our state, all to help our state expel the thieves. We owe a debt of gratitude. ”

"Hahaha, then let's not be polite. Let us work together to defeat the thieves as soon as possible. Luo Shiyin laughed heartily.

When the team members returned to the Guardian of the Dead after bathing, it was nearly dinner time. The guards prepared a good dinner for the squad.

Through conversation, the team members gradually understood the origin of this group of undead guards.

The ancestor of the big boss Bingjie Captain Hu Buda once served as the personal guard captain of the Jing Concubine Park. After the unjust death of the Park family, Hu Buda's ancestor took the initiative to ask to come to guard the mausoleum of the concubine Park because he was grateful for the kindness of the concubine Park during his lifetime, and formed a guard team based on the descendants of the family.

The ancestors of the Hu family once made a testament for this: all the descendants of the Hu family must take it as their responsibility to protect the dead of the concubine and princess. By the time Hu Buda's generation arrived, he was already the undead guardian of the third generation of the princess's tomb. Hu Budazu and himself have always been hung with the official title of Captain of the Six Grades of Bingjie awarded by the imperial court, and the silver received from the imperial court every year is pitiful.

"Captain Hu, these friends and I have an important matter to rush to General Yi Sunsin in the south, I wonder if you can know anything about the enemy situation along the way around here?" In the process of eating, Li Ruzhu asked Hu Buda.

"The Fifth Army of Fukushima Masanori, the Japanese army that invaded Korea, was stationed in Chungcheong-do. Fukushima Masanori is suspicious by nature and has a penchant for killing, and his subordinates are closely entangled with all kinds of people in Chungcheongnam-do. If there is even the slightest suspicion about the object of the interrogation, the Japanese army will definitely kill them all.

"Since they occupied Chungcheongnam-do, a large number of innocent poor people have been killed. From there, there is still a long way to go south out of Chungcheong-do. Several of them were dangerous. Hu Buda said worriedly.

"Is there any other way to go?" Luo Shiyin asked.

"Well, this friend's question reminded me. Not far to the north of this mountain, there is a river called the Green River River, which winds around an arc to reach the southernmost part of Chungcheongnam-do, Gyrongsan. As long as you arrive at Gyeryongsan safely, you can basically safely walk out of Chungcheongnam-do and enter Jeollabuk-do. The Japanese army did little to check the waterways in the territory. If you agree, rest here for the night tonight. Tomorrow I will ask the second leader to take you to the Lujian River to see if I can find a boat to carry you all the way south. The second leader is still relatively familiar with the banks of the Green River. Hu Buda said.

"Do you think this method is feasible?" Li Ruzhu consulted Luo Shiyin's opinion.

"I think it works. Then there is Lao senior. Luo Shiyin rushed to Hu Buda's arch.

"Gee, don't be so polite. It's old. Lao Yu knows that there are some things that can't be asked casually, but Lao Yu is not confused. It can be seen that several people are not ordinary characters. As long as you can ensure the safety of a few people, let alone lead the way for a few people, you can let the old man work hard, and the old man will not hesitate. Hu Buda drank a few glasses of wine, and his words became more.

After a good night's rest at the Guardian of the Dead's station, early the next morning, the team members got up early, had a simple breakfast, and prepared to embark on the journey.

"General Li, the old decay will no longer be sent far away. Let the second leader send you safely to Jilong Mountain. Along the way, there are two leaders who will help you with the water gangs along the way, so you can rest assured. Hu Buda sent the team members outside the gate of the station and said goodbye.

"Then thank you Captain Hu."

"Thank you, old man, for your hospitality. Please come back! ”

Li Ruzhu and Luo Shiyin thanked Hu Buda at the same time.

Just as the team members were about to set off, a guard who was on duty in front of the princess's tomb came outside, and he came to Hu Buda in a panic and reported loudly: "Report ——,to the big leader, no, a large number of Japanese people have been found in front of the princess's tomb!" ”
