Chapter Twenty-Six: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
"Fourth brother! What about that black gas just now? Liu Bei asked.
Wang Tianhua said: "It's gone! The soul is gone! ”
"That's good! That's good! "In Liu Bei's heart, those monsters are even more terrifying than these tens of thousands of thieves!
After all, no matter how powerful the thief is, he is just a human being.
But the so-called devil is elusive!
"Big brother, what should I do with so many people?" Wang Tianhua pointed to the yellow turban thief who knelt on the ground.
Liu Bei said: "This can only be handed over to General Zhu to deal with!" ”
In fact, the reason why these yellow turban thieves were able to be captured by Liu Bei's four brothers,
On the one hand, it is indeed Liu Bei and the four of them are too powerful!
But when manpower is poor,
No matter how powerful they are, there are only four of them.
The more important reason is that the leader of these thieves is dead.
They have no backbone.
And they, as anti-thieves,
When fighting with officers and soldiers,
There is a lot of pressure in the heart,
It's a natural feeling of a mouse meeting a cat!
It's just scared!
And there is still a trace of obedience in the heart!
Besides, they can be regarded as having seen the strength of Liu Bei's four people,
Only then did he give up resistance.
If someone else wants to subdue tens of thousands of thieves with just four people,
Maybe it's a different ending!
It didn't take long for
Zhu Jun's spies came nearby,
At first they saw a great crowd of people gathered in the city.
Immediately he stopped his horse,
No one dares to act rashly.
Until I saw Liu Bei and the four of them controlling the situation,
Only then did they dare to move on!
"General!" The spies led by him bowed towards Liu Bei.
"General Zhu, let's inquire about the situation, what's going on?" The spy pointed to the yellow turban thief who was kneeling on the ground and said,
This scene is so shocking!
Although I saw it with my own eyes,
But these spies still can't believe it, and it's even hard to imagine that just four people have conquered tens of thousands of people!
The eyes of these spies looking at Liu Bei and the four of them changed!
Full of adoration and reverence,
Like waves and floods!
Liu Bei pretended to be casual and said, "Do you mean these people?
We've got it done!
Hurry up and bring someone to inform General Zhu,
Let him receive these surrenders. ”
When the spies heard this, they saw Liu Bei's unfathomable appearance again,
I can't help but worship Liu Bei even more!
So he hurriedly obeyed,
With his subordinates, he went to find Zhu Jun outside the city!
As soon as Zhu Jun heard this, he was careful,
is also skeptical,
But on balance,
He still went into the city with a great army,
But when you get to the gates,
Zhu Jun left half of the people,
He feared that there was a deceit in the city,
He left half of the men and horses, in case someone could answer him in case of an emergency.
After Zhu Jun led the team into the city, he was not in a hurry to move forward.
but carefully armed,
It's almost every step of the way,
It was supposed to be a quarter of an hour's journey,
Zhu Jun's army was stunned for nearly half an hour.
Liu Bei and the four of them once felt that Zhu Jun would not come again.
Fortunately, Liu Bei has a lot of methods for governing the army,
He temporarily arranged for some of the thieves to be tall and mighty-looking people to serve as captains.
And then let them control the people again.
Although to the back,
There are some restless yellow turban thieves who want to take advantage of the riot again,
But fortunately, Liu Bei and the others had already effectively controlled these surrenders.
Those who wanted to riot failed after all!
Zhu Jun finally led the team here,
When he saw the scene in front of him, he was also shocked!
"Xuande, these soldiers?" Zhu Jun asked in surprise.
Liu Bei smiled slightly,
There was a confidence in his demeanor that he was in control of the whole situation,
said: "General, these troops are under control!"
It's up to the general to deal with! ”
Zhu Jun looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him,
My heart rejoices,
I thought that tonight I would almost take this city without blood,
That's a great feat!
If it is reported to the imperial court,
Let's not talk about whether there is a reward or not,
It's just those previous mistakes,
There must be no one to go back and entangle,
Even if someone has to impeach Zhu Jun because of previous mistakes,
So with these merits alone,
It's enough to offset the merits!
"Xuande! Well done! Zhu Jun patted Liu Bei's shoulder excitedly.
Liu Bei humbly arched his hand and said, "Quan Yi is commanded properly!" ”
Zhu Jun asked people to gather these surrendered troops,
Placed outside the city,
Someone to watch over it.
The next day, an announcement was made,
Tell the people of the city,
The thieves have been removed,
Suddenly the city rejoiced!
But Wang Tianhua still has one more thing on his mind,
Because last night, after Zhao Hong was devoured by the demon god,
Wang Tianhua sensed a trace of yin qi in the city for a moment.
He thought that too many people had died in the city,
It's normal to have yin energy,
So I didn't pay much attention to it.
Until someone reported that Sun Zhong's body had not been found,
There was only Han Zhong's body in the tent,
The head has been chopped off!
Wang Tianhua reacted at this time,
Could it be that the yin qi is emitted by Sun Zhong!
Wang Tianhua did not tell others about his suspicions,
At this time, Zhu Jun ordered: "The city gate is under martial law,
The whole city arrests Sun Zhong!
Life to see people, death to see corpses! ”
Zhu Jun thought to himself, Sun Zhong is a thief,
If he escapes,
With Sun Zhong's ability, it is very likely that he will gather some thieves to plague the township.
So this person must be eradicated!
But after inquiring about those surrendered soldiers, it was learned that because of infighting, Sun Zhong died under Zhao Hong's knife last night!
This is what many people see!
Liu Bei asked Wang Tianhua: "Fourth brother, could it be that Sun Zhong has also become a demon?" ”
Wang Tianhua didn't know what the truth was, so he had to say: "I don't know yet!" ”
Zhu Jun frowned, thought for a while and said, "Regardless of whether Sun Zhong has become a demon or not,
Send someone to find his whereabouts first! ”
The thieves in the nearby counties were almost all wiped out.
The rest are just a few scattered rabble,
It can't be a big climate.
It is enough for the villagers to deal with it.
Zhu Jun planned to find Sun Zhong and then return to Beijing.
These days have been fine,
Liu Bei originally planned to return to Zhuo County first,
But Zhu Jun was worried that if Sun Zhong really became a demon,
If Wang Tianhua also leaves,
Then there will be no one to deal with Sun Zhong.
So he personally begged Liu Bei to stay for a few more days.
Liu Bei thought about it, and after returning to Zhuojun, he seemed to have nothing to do.
It's better to be a personal favor.
So he agreed to help Zhu Jun find Sun Zhong.
The sea fishing documents soon spread to several places near Wancheng.
So in the past few days, many people have been arrested in various places.
But after discernment,
These people are not Sun Zhong,
Some just look like Sun Zhong!
There are even some people who are also called Sun Zhong because of their names,
and was bound by the local yacha.
"It's not going to work like this anymore!" Zhu Jun worried, "It's too disturbing to the people! The people have just experienced the suffering of the Yellow Turban,
Now I will be disturbed by the yacha again,
Ben would have been worried that it would provoke discontent among the people! ”
One of Zhu Jun's lieutenants comforted: "The general doesn't have to worry,
The current situation is also helpless,
Better a finger off than always aching
After Sun Zhong is caught,
That's not all there is to it! ”
Zhu Jun sighed when he heard this,
There really is no other way at the moment,
That's all there is to it.
Although Sun Zhong was not found,
But there is another thing in Wancheng,
Many villagers came to report to the official, saying that there were many local people missing!
Hearing this,
Wang Tianhua immediately thought that it could be Sun Zhong who did it?
So let those people explain the cause and effect clearly,
According to the report of the villagers,
Men and women are missing,
Most of them are around seventeen or eighteen.
These people are the future pillars of the township,
After statistics,
More than 200 people are missing!
These townships are very close to Wancheng,
Wang Tianhua informed Liu Bei and others of his guess.
After Zhu Jun found out, he asked: "Tianhua, if it is as you say,
These things may have been done by Sun Zhong,
So why did he catch so many teenagers and girls? ”
Wang Tianhua asked the demon god: "Do you know what the reason is?" ”
The demon god said, "You ask those young boys and girls if they are married. ”
Wang Tianhua asked the villagers according to his words: "Are those missing people married?" ”
The villagers replied one after another: "I haven't married yet." ”
"Demon God, do you hear that?"
The demon god snorted coldly and said, "It seems that someone wants to borrow the blood of pure yin and pure yang to improve their cultivation!" ”
Wang Tianhua was taken aback and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
The demon god explained: "This is an evil skill,
Only an unruly demon would do that,
After he killed the boys and girls,
Take their blood and refine the pure yin and pure yang pills,
After swallowing, the strength will increase greatly!
But there are pros and cons to this approach,
The advantage is that you can quickly improve your cultivation in a short period of time.
But the disadvantage is that unless there is a big opportunity in the future,
Otherwise, his strength will stop there! ”
Wang Tianhua didn't care about the second half of what the demon god said,
He was a little panicked when he heard the first half,
Wang Tianhua asked, "How many days does it take to refine the Pure Yin and Pure Yang Pill?" ”
The reason why he asked,
I want to know if the boys and girls who were taken captive are still saved.
The demon god said, "Take the blood of one hundred and eight young men and one hundred and eight young girls,
Seven days of refining with heavenly fire! ”
"Skyfire? What is Skyfire? Wang Tianhua asked.
"It's a fire that was ignited by a lightning strike on a tree!"
Only then did Wang Tianhua understand,
But it doesn't seem to have been thundering or raining these days.
It is very likely that Sun Zhong, the devil, has not succeeded yet!
Zhu Jun asked, "Tianhua,
Do you have a solution? ”
Wang Tianhua relayed what the demon god had said to him just now.
When they heard this, they were amazed and delighted.
They were shocked that they didn't expect that there was such an evil elixir in the world.
The joy is that there has been no thunder and rain in the past few days,
In other words, it is very likely that the Adversary has not yet started refining the elixir!
Then those boys and girls may still be alive!
Wang Tianhua thought that it would be difficult to hide more than 200 people.
Besides, Sun Zhong also needs to collect heavenly fire,
Therefore, Wang Tianhua guessed that Sun Zhong was very likely to hide people in the deep mountains and old forests!
Wang Tianhua told everyone what he thought.
After hearing this, several villagers shook their heads again and again,
They said, "There are many forests and mountains in this place.
If the Adversary is really hiding there,
I don't know when I'll find them! ”
At this moment,
The sky was originally clear,
There was a muffled thunder!
Shocked everyone!
"It's thunder!" A few villagers said with a crying voice.
Thunder means that it is very likely that the adversary will get the heavenly fire,
Once the Adversary succeeds,
Those boys and girls are in danger!
