Chapter 19: The Presence of Water Ghosts

As he spoke, Qin Yunuan put the quarter of the map back in place, and said with a solemn face: "How can you be sure? What if it's wrong? \"

"Then the fourth prince, do you have a better way?" Qin Yunuan rubbed the remaining three maps with her hand, she tried to recall all the clues she saw in Sun Chengzhen's house, but unfortunately, Sun Chengzhen was shrewd and left very little information, this sparrow tongue tea was only because Qin Yunuan had been in contact with the big tea merchants in Jiangnan a few times when she was doing business with Shen Xun, and she had heard of it a little.

Wan Yansu was very worried: "Mrs. Leng, do you know that when you swing this map, what you are holding is one hundred and seventy lives. ”

"So what?" Qin Yunuan tilted her head, through the white veil, she seemed to be able to see her deep pupils, this woman's eyes were obviously not good, but she could always see people thoroughly. "If we stay here in vain, or act rashly, it will definitely be a dead end, Your Highness, you should find out the situation, at this moment, if you don't believe me, no one can believe me."

Wan Yansu clenched his fists, looked at the quarter of the map that Qin Yunuan had found, rubbed it in his hand, and pointed to the map for a long time before saying, "There is a huge rock like an eagle's beak on it, and tomorrow, I will send someone to find it." ”

Only by finding the right route can we move forward unharmed, which is the only thing Wan Yansu thinks about now.

Coming out of Wan Yansu's tent, the sun had already set, and as soon as Qin Yunuan came out, he happened to see Yaqi guarding in front of the tent.

"Why are you here? Isn't it cold at night? ”

"The slave is afraid that the lady will be cold." Yaqi obediently handed over the cloak she had been holding in her hand and put it on for Qin Yunuan, the warm double cloak carried the temperature of Yaqi's chest and wrists.

"It's hard for you, I specially thought about giving me a cloak, and I also covered the heat for me." Qin Yunuan looked at Yaqi with a smile and was very approving.

"That's what a slave should do." Yaqi lowered her head, looking embarrassed, and returned to the small tent where Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi lived alone, there were occasional soldiers patrolling outside, and the night in the valley was quiet, a little weirder than in the village.

Leng Changxi gently untied the white veil that bound Qin Yunuan's eyes, carefully replaced her with freshly ground herbs, and looked at Qin Yunuan's eyes that were as clear as freshly washed gems, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why is it always not good?" ”

"I used Lu Wuyi's new recipe, and it should be almost ready." Qin Yunuan stretched out his slender jade hand and touched Leng Changxi's slightly stubble chin, Lu Wuyi came as an accompanying military doctor this time, in the previous Poisonous Snake Valley, thanks to Lu Wuyi's presence, he saved the lives of many soldiers who were bitten by poisonous snakes.

This time in the valley, except for Leng Changxi, Qin Yunuan, Lu Wuyi, Wan Yansu and Maugham, they all thought that they were looking for the treasure of the ancient Khitan, only the five of them knew that there were countless times more precious than gold and silver treasures hidden in this savage valley, and once the incomparably rare weapons and the most advanced technology were discovered, they would change the pattern of the entire world;

It is the desire for such a huge strength that binds the two people who are in the center of the political power of the two dynasties together wonderfully, Wan Yansu and Leng Changxi, now they are cooperating, but once they find the weapons factory hidden in the mountains, a battle is inevitable, Leng Changxi's side seems to be weak, but in fact, it is ......

"Who can guarantee that the more than 100 people of Wanyan Su will be able to reach the treasure land alive?" Leng Changxi sighed leisurely, and immediately heard the soldiers outside start to mess up.

"There are water ghosts! There are water ghosts! The water ghost has killed someone! ”

It turned out that there was originally a small pond with water behind this small hillside, where the precipitation in the rainy season and the mountain streams converged, which was one of the reasons why Wanyansu chose to camp here, but he didn't expect that it was still full of conditions.

Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi immediately opened the curtain and walked out of the camp, only to see a circle of people gathered by the pond, they were all soldiers under Wan Yansu's hands, but these veterans of the battlefield who had experienced countless battles looked at the surface of the pool in horror one by one, as if every ripple on the surface of the water could make them shiver. Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi stood far apart, they could clearly observe the movement of the water surface on the high ground, Leng Changxi protected Qin Yunuan sideways, while carefully describing the movement in the water to her.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd, and a huge splash of water fascinated the eyes of everyone present, Leng Changxi stared at the water and whispered to Qin Yunuan: "There is a humanoid thing in the water that jumps up, no, it is a human fishtail, and there is still a person hanging on her tail, or, to be exact, it is already a corpse." ”

There was another splash, and the monster with the fishtail of the man had already dive into the pool again with the body of the adult man, and someone on the shore immediately couldn't bear it, and said viciously in his mouth: "Grandma's leg, isn't this girl just a big fish, watch me go down and catch her." ”

"Don't act rashly." Wan Yan Su appeared at the end of the team, and said sharply, "Most of our Beidi warriors are good at riding horses and don't know how to squeeze water, you rush down, but you fell for this monster's scheme." ”

"Your Highness, that's the adjutant general who lives and dies with us." Someone said indignantly.

Speaking of the deputy general, Wan Yansu's expression also moved slightly, he had already remembered the merits of his lieutenant general, and some people shouted: "The deputy general is for Your Highness to drink the most delicious fish soup tomorrow morning before going down to the pond to catch fish, Your Highness, please ask Your Highness to promise us to go down to save the deputy general, even if we can't save a life, we are willing to get the whole body of the deputy general to be buried properly." ”

Leng Changxi looked at the excited soldiers, far away, and only said in a volume that he and Qin Yunuan could hear: "See, this is the subtlety of Sun Chengzhen's layout design, he doesn't have to solve it laboriously in groups, as long as he kills them one by one, first to disintegrate the morale of the army, and then to cause the contradiction between the leader and his subordinates, the subordinates must save their companions, and the leader will not agree for the sake of the overall situation, and then, it is a blow to morale, the more this is the case, the more difficult the road will be in the future." ”

"Attacking people's hearts? It's a clever trick. Qin Yu raised her eyebrows, through the white veil, she could still see the waves on the sparkling lake, and today's moonlight was particularly bright, as if laying the groundwork for a fateful battle this night.

Two or three soldiers had already jumped into the lake without listening to Yan Su's instructions, and they desperately beat the water with the blades in their hands, or stirred in the water with wooden sticks, trying to attract the attention of the monster in the water, but the lake suddenly calmed down and was not happy.

In a few moments, a corpse floated up from the lake, it was their lieutenant;

Qin Yunuan listened to Leng Changxi's detailed description, and already had a spectrum in his heart: "That person must have been killed first, and then thrown into the lake, otherwise, if he drowns, the person will struggle desperately before he dies, and a large amount of lake water will be poured into his lungs and mouth, and he will not be able to float for a while and a half, and he will generally sink to the bottom of the lake first, and will float up after the limbs of the corpse are soaked." ”

Leng Changxi nodded in approval.

Just as the soldiers were carrying the body of the lieutenant ashore with all their hands and feet, suddenly someone pointed to the lake and shouted: "Look, the monster is here again." ”

Everyone looked back at the water, and sure enough, they saw the big carp-like tail sweeping across the water, jumping up on the surface of the mighty lake, the silver shining scales seemed to be made of silver, with a crystal splash, after such an appearance, the monster escaped into the water again, and swam towards the group of soldiers on the shore at a rapid speed. Even though he had an incomparable resentment towards the monster in his heart, looking at the monster's posture, the group of soldiers closest to the shore still shivered, and even the tips of the fingers holding the scimitar began to tremble.

Leng Changxi stood on the high ground and suddenly spoke: "Everyone, gather in the camp and count the number of people!" ”

Almost at the same time, the ripples on the surface of the lake suddenly disappeared, and the monster immediately sank to the bottom of the lake, and the soldiers present were all discussing, could it really be that this Tuoba prince who was respected as a distinguished guest by the four princes had any divine power, and even the monster was afraid of him?

In less than half a pillar of incense, everyone was already assembled in the camp and stood by, and the body of the lieutenant general had been buried on the spot, and according to the person who carried the corpse, the general's whole body was terrifyingly cold, as if he had just come out of the ice cellar, even if it was cold at night, no matter how thoroughly the lake was soaked, it would not be possible to be so cold.

After Wan Yan Su's personal guards checked the number of people and reported to Wan Yan Su truthfully, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi stood beside them, and clearly heard the guard's words: "A total of one hundred and sixty-eight people, all of them have arrived." ”

Wan Yansu nodded, he didn't know what Leng Changxi meant by suddenly saying that he wanted to check the number of people, but now he still had to rely on the map in Leng Changxi's hand, with Leng Changxi's ability, he couldn't take it by force, so he could only obey Leng Changxi temporarily.

"Are you sure you're all there?" Qin Yunuan suddenly smiled, she took Leng Changxi's hand, let Leng Changxi take her around the one hundred and eighty soldiers, and then said with a smile, "You are all men, have you forgotten, besides me, there is a woman among us, why didn't you arrive?" ”

The guard stiffened slightly, Qin Yunuan frowned, and suddenly raised his voice: "Take me to the tent." ”

Wan Yan Su followed behind in surprise, and had to follow closely with a team of personal soldiers, Qin Yunuan did not go back to his camp tent, but went to a small triangular tent next to the tent, and the thick wooden stick was simply set up, only draped in an earth-colored felt cloth as a roof, if a person hid in it, there was nowhere to escape.

This is Yaqi's account.

"Come in and bring me out the people inside." Qin Yunuan instructed Lu Wuyi, and a woman's delicate voice immediately came from inside: "Who, I'm changing clothes, don't come in." ”

The corners of Leng Changxi's mouth raised a wicked smile: "Change clothes? Hum. After speaking, he threw the spear in his hand high, and directly broke the wooden stick that bound the tent, and the tent tilted backwards instantly, and the people inside were unreservedly exposed to everyone's field of vision, it was Yaqi, but she was not changing her clothes as she said, her clothes were intact, her hair was tightly pressed against her cheeks, and her face looked a little pale.

"Yaqi, why is your hair wet?" Qin Yunuan looked at Yaqi and asked with a smile.
