Chapter 40: The Mysterious Underworld

In just three days, thirteen ministers were killed, either on the way to the court, or at home, or on the bed of the Qinglou. The whole Hanquan was shocked by www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, and Pavilion, and everyone was in danger, and they couldn't live in fear.

Beside each deceased, a black piece of paper can be found, with the word "Hades Army" written on it, and the font is blood-red and dazzling!

"Hades? These are acquaintances, and if it weren't for them, I would have died halfway through. I didn't expect to meet them here, and I was thinking about how to recruit them, so I sent them to the door" Sitting lazily on the chair, Meng Qiu said with a smile, there are friends from afar, and they are very happy.

"In the end, it is a madman who claims to be nine thousand years old, and now the name of the entire Hanquan army has changed. You can still laugh, do you know that you are the only person who can laugh in Hanquan now? King Yan on the side said helplessly:

In the past three days, more than 3,000 people from Jingzhao Yin's government and city defense army, together with Zhang Kai's internal guards, Ma Da Suo Jingshi, almost turned over the entire capital. Not only did not find the slightest trace of the underworld, but several ministers were attacked and killed in the street under the strict protection of the city defense army and internal guards. After the murderer assassinated the minister, he easily evaded the round-up and fled. The father was furious and had already issued an order, and if he couldn't find a clue within three days, he cut off Gao Qi's head; The city guards punished as severely as the internal guards"

Hearing this, Meng Qiu changed his lazy appearance just now, and said with his eyebrows fluttering. "This is a godsend, Your Highness, let's take the opportunity to win over the underworld army, and by the way, eradicate a few obstacles that hinder your ascension to the throne. You can't find such a beautiful thing with a lantern."

"That makes sense, but how do you find them? This king faintly felt that the underworld army was extremely hostile to the imperial court, and he was eager to kill all the royal relatives and civil and military officials. Will such a person honestly cooperate with you and assist this king to ascend the throne and become emperor? King Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately became a little helpless.

Meng Qiu pursed his lips and said:

The Hades are actually a group of refugees who resist the barbarian forces to protect themselves. Their parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters, or died under the butcher's knife of the barbarians; or be beheaded by officials and generals who have killed good and pretended to be a good man; Or because the guards were greedy for life and afraid of death, they closed the door and did not save them, and watched countless unarmed people being hacked and taken away by the barbarians.....

Along the way, they saw the hellish scenes of starvation everywhere and cannibalism, and also saw corruption and fraud by officials at all levels, seizing disaster relief funds to fill their own pockets, and spending all day long in restaurants and green buildings, ignoring the lives of the people. Slowly, their hearts cooled, and they no longer believed in the country, and no longer trusted the official to make decisions for himself.

At this time, a young hunter named Cao Wenbao stood up, "We have to rely on ourselves to take revenge and eat our stomachs!" From this day forward, we will call the Hades Army and kill the dog officers who killed our loved ones! We are the ghosts who have come out of the netherworld! We want revenge! ”。

At the beginning, the Hades Army was active in the area of Hebei and Hexi in Guannei, which was the hardest hit area for barbarians to enter the army, and a large number of barbarian cavalry have always been stationed. Like hunters, they used the most rudimentary traps, kitchen knives, traps, bows and arrows and other weapons to sneak attack and ambush the barbarian squads, seize the barbarian horses, armor, weapons, and arm themselves.

At the same time, Cao Wenbao organized an assassination team to assassinate and sneak attack those corrupt officials who embezzled disaster relief funds, killed good people and pretended to be public, passively avoided wars, and killed ordinary people.

Most of the members of the Hades Army are poor people whose families are dying, and revenge is the only motivation to support their survival.

"They are a bunch of living killing machines, with regular military training and sophisticated weaponry, and they will be invincible. After all, they are powerful ghosts and unjust souls who came out of the netherworld, and they only live for revenge" Closing his eyes, the group of expressionless people with blood-red eyes appeared in his mind, Meng Qiu sighed slightly and said:

"Your Highness, we need to save the Underworld. They are not only a group of loyal and brave soldiers who defend the country and defend the country, but also become the sharpest fangs in your hands, serving you to ascend the throne and become the emperor, defend the territory and serve the dogs and horses! ”

Facing Meng Qiu's expectant gaze, His Royal Highness King Yan smiled freely, "Little brother, you can call this king your brother in the future." What you need to do for your brother, the command is, your brother can trust you! ”。

"Death for a confidant!" Sighing in his heart, King Yan's mind, Meng Qiu was not hypocritical, and began to make arrangements to search for the traces of the underworld army.

"How are you going to find the Immortal? These people have been haunted, Jing Zhaoyin and the internal guards have been visiting for a long time without clues, and they plan to ask their father to lock the capital and screen them door to door" Seeing that Meng Qiu was about to write a plan again, King Yan asked curiously.

"Reverse thinking! What a simple thing, when you want to do one thing and find that you can't find a way, you can try to reverse the thinking and push it down: my purpose is to find Hades, what did I do before I found Hades? Search for clues, what kind of clues? With a slight smile, Meng Qiu rebelled against King Yan's army.

Hearing this, King Yan was stunned, touched his nose with a thoughtful expression, and spread his hand after half a sound to indicate that he couldn't think of it.

"How easy! Brother, the most common thing that the Hades Army does is our only clue. The most common thing they do is to kill ministers, and these people are more or less related to the barbarians who were in the gang at the beginning, either from the Du Party or corrupt officials. We only need to assassinate these people directly, or we can directly encounter the underworld, or the underworld army will take the initiative to come to us" Smiling slightly, Meng Qiu said murderously.

"Eradicate corrupt officials, dissidents, and kill people with knives; Take the opportunity to find the underworld army and ask for directions; Disrupting the line of sight of the investigation, covering the underworld, and confusing the public - what a powerful plan to kill three birds with one stone! King Yan gasped and praised.

Hansen Castle North Livestock Market

At this time, the weather has just warmed up, and a large number of merchants have come here to sell horses, cattle and sheep from outside the customs to sell them at a good price. The large shops and chicken feather shops around the livestock market are all full of merchants. Many cowsheds and horse pens have also set up simple shacks around the horse pens for the men who take care of the cattle and horses to rest.

Holding his hands, hunched his waist, wearing a cotton jacket that could not be seen in the gray flutter, and a black shoulder with not much wool on the outside, Cao Wenbao lowered his head and trotted all the way to a livestock pen.

Taking advantage of the turn, he squinted behind him and made sure there was no tail. Cao Wenbao quickened his pace and crossed an intersection. Two people dressed in thick sheepskin robes, drinking tea in a large porcelain bowl, and dressed in the style of livestock, carefully looked at the presence of no suspicious people, nodded at Cao Wenbao, who walked into the livestock pen.

In the small cattle pen, there are seven or eight cows and five horses on a leash, and the recent fire in the livestock market in the capital has made it nervous, and each livestock pen is stuffed with cattle, sheep and horses.

Cao Wenbao walked quickly into the livestock pen and came to a place where livestock manure was stacked in the northeast corner of the livestock circle. Regardless of whether the feces are dirty, the feces are removed directly with bare hands, revealing wooden covers one by one.

The index and middle fingers are slightly curved, and Cao Wenbao taps lightly on the cover, and the sound is sometimes tight and sometimes slow, which is very rhythmic.

The half-ring cover was opened downward, and a man holding a spear slowly showed his head, and after seeing that it was Cao Wenbao, the man's tense face was relaxed. Leaning sideways, he made way for Cao Wenbao to go down, and the man squatted there with a spear and quickly covered the cover with feces.

After doing all this, the man unscrewed the head of the gun, hid it in his arms, and threw the barrel of the gun within easy reach. The man stepped on a basket of forage and walked around the cattle pen, adding fodder to cattle, sheep and horses, and vigilantly observing the movements around him.

The next round of assassinations of the Hades army is about to begin!
