Chapter 681: It's not greed for life and fear of death, it's actually life and death together
The two horses galloped on the official road, and the knight on the horse did not say a word, staring closely ahead. It is not accurate to use the front to represent it, and it is more accurate to look at the traces left on the official road ahead.
But whenever a war horse tramples on it, there will always be a horse's hoof print on the ground. Even if the official road is tamped, it is difficult for the war horses to leave obvious footprints on it in normal times, but don't forget that when there are enough war horses, the quantitative changes change qualitatively, and the messy horseshoe prints left behind extend all the way to the official road.
Oneiroi looked at it slightly, and rode his horse forward, followed by the toad eating the phoenix.
There was no stop at all, not even a little time wasted, and tracking this kind of thing was a breeze for the Oneiroi Machine. Not to mention the traces left by this large number of cavalry, basically as long as you are not a fool, you can find it if you want to find it.
"How's it going, do you see something?" On horseback, the toad that eats the phoenix opens.
"They didn't panic when they withdrew, they were in good order, you can see by looking at these horseshoe prints on the ground." Oneiroi replied with a retracted gaze.
"Where?" The toad eating the phoenix looked left and right, staring at the horseshoe prints on the ground for a long time.
He couldn't see much either, and on the back of the fast-running war horse, the surrounding scenery flashed quickly. Those horseshoe prints on the ground, not to mention, he could only see if those marks were deep or not, and how much dirt they had raised.
As for seeing what was flustered and what was in order, I'm sorry, he didn't see anything. For him, it doesn't matter what he panics about, what he cares about being organized, anyway, as long as he doesn't lose it.
Oneiroi was silent, and he didn't entangle with the toad that ate the phoenix, anyway, this guy wouldn't care so much. All he cared about was those war horses, the war horses of the Liangzhou cavalry, and the reason why he volunteered was not because of how righteous he was, but simply because he wanted to lead the horses.
The Oneiroi machine has seen through the toad that eats the phoenix, and it is not profitable to be early, and it is the way of life of the toad that eats the phoenix.
Is Dong Zhuo dead?
Oneiroi didn't know, this was also one of the goals of his mission this time, and he needed to find out. This actually has little to do with him, whether Dong Zhuo dies or not, it is the same for the Oneiroi machine.
He belongs to the kind of person who cares about as long as the things he cares about are not lost, and the people he cares about do not die, and there is nothing else, and it doesn't matter if the world is destroyed. The reason why he joined this camp now and became an enemy of Dong Zhuo was only because of Yun Ting's friendship.
Dong Zhuo? Who is that? I don't care, I don't care, and people who are dying don't have to pay attention anyway.
"It should be almost there, slow down the speed of the war horse." Oneiroi turned his head and told the toad who ate the phoenix.
The traces left on the official road are chaotic, and the merchants who come and go every day, the goods transported are many relationships, and the traces cover each other layer after layer, and in the end, it becomes a situation where people can't tell which is which.
The Oneiroi was a little lucky, but fortunately they hurriedly caught up shortly after the Liangzhou cavalry left. Otherwise, after a long time, it will not be a little bit to find the traces of the Liangzhou cavalry, time and people are often the most critical factors in destroying clues.
Upon closer listening, he also heard the neighing of horses, coming from the woods on the side of the official road. The horseshoe prints left by the Liangzhou cavalry war horses are also completely reported not far from the woods, and they have entered the woods.
Cavalry into the woods?
Although he doesn't know much about the types of troops, he also knows that cavalry is generally far away from places with many trees and trees, especially the terrain of woods, which is basically one of the places that cavalry will not choose. Now they were in the woods, much to the surprise of Oneiroi.
At this time, Oneiroi noticed several inquiring glances, and there was no secret of strong vigilance and malice in them. There are also faint chills in several parts of the body, back, neck, back of the heart, a few deadly enough positions, in the perception of the Oneiroi machine, someone should be staring at him now, staring at his every move, as long as there is something abnormal, he will attack at once.
"Don't talk, don't look back, keep going." Oneiroi whispered, not choosing to ride away immediately.
He was almost certain that as long as the horse was speeded up, the hidden enemy would not be spared. This is very obvious, after all, their current horse speed is slow, it is completely a leisurely and leisurely state, and how can the scene of being a thief not be suspicious when they suddenly gallop on their horses.
"What?" The toad who ate the phoenix looked confused, and he didn't know what the Oneiroi machine was talking about, but he subconsciously followed.
Because they came out to investigate the news, the two of them were wearing ordinary clothes, and they looked more like scholars, rich scholars. If it was an ordinary scholar, how could he have a horse?
This is where the confidence of the Oneiroi machine lies, as long as it doesn't reveal flaws, there will be nothing at all.
"What the hell is going on?" The toad who ate the phoenix continued to ask.
Curiosity is the first productive force for human progress and wealth! It's like the toad knows, Newton, who was hit by an apple back then, if it weren't for the curiosity about why the apple fell down, he wouldn't have discovered gravity! Another example is the silkworm, if the ancients did not find the silk it spit out, they were curious about what the silk could be used for, and there would be no silk in the future. Another example is tea, if it weren't for someone who was curious about what the leaf would taste like, there would not have been various types of tea in the future.
The toad that eats the phoenix maintains his full and exuberant curiosity in order to make a fortune!
"It should be a scout of the Liangzhou cavalry." Oneiroi spoke out of his findings.
"What?! Do you want me to take out my shield that has saved people countless times in times of danger? The toad that ate the phoenix immediately thought of the cold arrow that came from behind, and his shield.
With a shield in hand, there will be no cold arrows!
Oneiroi suddenly had a desire to complain in his heart, he obviously told the toad that ate the phoenix to do nothing, but why did he still want to do something like this?
"Keep walking. We're here to find out, not to fight. Again, Oneiroi really felt that he had said too much today.
"Oh, good." The toad that ate the phoenix immediately agreed.
The two men continued to ride their horses, just as the scholars had gone out in the spring.
Seeing that the two of them were far away, the scouts who were hiding in the woods put down their bows and arrows, and no longer paid attention to the situation over there. As scouts, they are extremely concerned about some situations, especially now, at this juncture, if some people show threatening behavior, even if it is a misunderstanding, they will not hesitate to act.
Killing a few people is not a matter at all, and the nature of being forcibly suppressed along the way makes all the soldiers in the army have a sense of anxiety in their hearts. The scouts too, if it weren't for the military orders from above to forcibly suppress them, when they saw some caravans passing by, they couldn't help but have the urge in their hearts to come forward and loot.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven? Who is the Son of Heaven? Anyway, if you rob things and kill people, no one will know what happened, right? Even if the body is found later, it will not be their business, because they don't know where they have gone by then.
In Liangzhou, this kind of thing is simply familiar to the scouts.
The Oneiroi machine that just passed and the toad that ate the phoenix were also fat sheep for them. It's a pity that now, they have to press this thought in their hearts.
"Alright." When the feeling of being watched behind him was gone, Oneiroi stopped its horse.
What is certain now is that the Liangzhou cavalry chose to repair that piece of wood, and there was basically no mistake. It's just that in the woods, there should be many scouts on guard, and if Dong Zhuo really has an accident, then he should also be under the protection of the cavalry, if he wants to get close, it is too difficult.
"What now?" The toad that ate the phoenix asked at this time.
"Get in." Oneiroi said lightly and jumped off the horse.
For now, the only way to do this is to sneak in. You don't need to get close to Dong Zhuo, if you want to determine a person's state and life and death, you don't need to see it with your own eyes. From some small details, it can be deduced, but the process is a little more tedious.
Cumbersome things are often not very dangerous, and the risk of exposure is also not high. This is the reason why the Oneiroi sometimes chooses troublesome things, just as in reality, if you want to assassinate a target, you also need a lot of preliminary intelligence collection, so which one is not cumbersome?
It's just that in reality, except for the commission that the Oneiroi machine himself receives, the designated killing targets of those missions issued by the supercomputer don't need him to collect intelligence at all. The supercomputer is exactly the kind of existence that all humans fear, it analyzes the information it finds without any mistakes, and can also judge the mental state, physical condition, and other aspects of the target.
When one person is fully aware of another person, then the other person who is known is doomed to not turn out very well. Life or death is entirely in the hands of another person, in a thought.
Leading the horse and leading the toad that ate the phoenix, Oneiroi randomly chose a forest next to the official road and walked in. He didn't stop until he had gone deep enough, and he had already recorded all the route in his mind.
The woods where the Liangzhou cavalry was staying were about three hundred meters away from here, to the east. That is, if they walked east from the position where they were now, they would be able to enter the woods at an end.
The Oneiroi began to tie up the reins, there was definitely no way for the war horse to carry it with him, and now this place was a little less secretive, but it was also the only option. After tying the reins to the trunk of a small tree, he tied another knot and tried to tie it tightly before letting go of his hand.
"Is it appropriate for the war horse to stay here?" The toad that ate the phoenix looked at the Oneiroi machine with a distrustful expression.
"Will someone find the war horse and take it away?" He continued to ask, his mind taking off, and then he followed the question, "Anyway, this must be very unsafe and inappropriate!" When the time comes, if someone sees it, they will definitely run over and shout three times that the sky bless the heavens and rejoice! ”
"Then you can stay and watch the horses." Oneiroi glanced at the toad that ate the phoenix, and said that it was the same whether the toad ate the phoenix or not, on the contrary, without the toad that ate the phoenix, he would be able to relax a lot.
It's easier to infiltrate one person than two. Not to mention that your teammates are still phoenix-eating toads, in battle, he can show a fearless attitude, and immediately after the battle, he will become a scavenger even more terrible than a vulture. And in this infiltrating environment, the Oneiroi machine is not afraid of anything else, what he is afraid of is that the bad problem of the toad that eats the phoenix and the shaking of the hand will appear again, and from time to time he will see something valuable and put it into the package, which is for sure.
"Stay and watch the horses?!" The toad that ate the phoenix raised its voice violently, as if it had been insulted by some great insult.
"I'm a big toad, how can I abandon my friends? What if something happens to you in such a dangerous environment? The righteous and awe-inspiring toad who ate the phoenix said loudly, looking like a knife in the ribs for his brother.
"No, I don't. If something happens, it's a big deal to be resurrected once. Oneiroi said with empty eyes.
"What! How can this be, to die together! The dignified toad wants to live and die with his brothers! ”
"Besides, what if you die and the equipment explodes? Don't you need someone to help you pick up your gear? "Eat the phoenix's toad supplement.
"You care about equipment, you don't care about people! The equipment in the back is the focus, and the focus is on the equipment! Oneiroi complained to himself in his heart.
He had never seen such a brazen person at all, saying that he would live and die together, and the result was to pick up equipment! It's not enough to pick up equipment, what's even more strange is that he doesn't plan to die together, he escaped if you die...
That's right, it was the escape... Oneiroi can imagine the scene where when he dies in battle and the enemies around him disperse, a sneaky figure sneaks up next to his corpse and quietly fumbles for something.
It has a great sense of picture, and it makes the Oneiroi machine feel a chill.
The toad that ate the phoenix also began to tie the reins of the war horse to the trunk of another small tree, and while tying the reins, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
Hmph, if you want to leave him and eat alone, it's impossible! What is a small war horse, if it is lost, it will be lost, as long as there is a chance, he can completely get back the lost money from those Liangzhou cavalry ten times or a hundred times.
