Chapter 0053, God doesn't know the ghost
Hearing Cao Guobiao say this, the soldiers and generals below also cheered up.
"Thank you for your sympathy!"
A lieutenant who had just followed Cao Guobiao cautiously stepped forward and asked: "Lord Dutong, not far in front of you is the Sheep Intestine Valley, the terrain is steep, should we send a pair of scouts to investigate first?" If there are thieves robbing the road, we can deal with it early. β
Cao Guobiao was a little unhappy in his heart, and secretly said that this captain was making a big fuss, he had walked this road dozens of times, and he didn't see any danger.
People are tired now, how can they have time to delay here?
Send a team of scouts to investigate, and a trip back and forth will be delayed for at least half an hour.
Cao Guobiao immediately waved his hand and said: "No need, I have walked through this official road dozens of times, and there has never been an accident, besides, this is the hinterland of the empire, and there are no mountain bandits nearby, so what to worry about." β
Soon, some soldiers chimed in: "What Cao Dutong said is, what can be any surprise in this? Wang Duwei, you are new to the road conditions, it is right to be cautious, but you can't delay everyone's time, I don't want to eat that hard nest head anymore, let's rush to Luoshui City early, hand over the errand, and eat and drink well. β
The Du Wei surnamed Wang saw that he was about to provoke the anger of the people, and his scalp was numb, so he didn't dare to insist any longer, and after confessing his guilt, he honestly retreated.
Cao Guobiao waved his hand and said, "Everyone enter the valley!" β
The convoy marched into the valley of sheep intestines.
"It's finally here!"
Ji Chenfeng cheered up and motioned to the demons to get ready.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the entire convoy entered the valley, and Ji Chenfeng decisively ordered: "It's now, everyone can do it!" β
Demon robbery, uh, no, it's demon training, which is naturally different from ordinary bandit and bandit robbery.
There is no need to shout any clichΓ© slogans such as "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave to buy road money" and so on.
Just go straight to drying.
I saw Uncle Juli and another giant hand tree demon, standing up left and right, reaching out to uproot a big tree hugged by five people, and then threw it to the mouth of the valley, sealing the convoy in the valley of the sheep's intestines, so that these carriages became turtles in the urn, and it was impossible to run.
The big trees that fell from the sky completely blocked the roads in front and behind, and Cao Guobiao and his soldiers were shocked.
Cao Guobiao looked around in disbelief, and said secretly in his heart: You won't be so unlucky, right? Did you really run into a robbery?
Wang Duwei, who proposed to send scouts, finally didn't have any burden in his heart now, and asked in a loud voice: "I just said to be careful, it's not the right thing to wait, now something has happened." β
"Shut up and see what's going on!" Cao Guobiao's face sank, and he scolded loudly, and the lieutenant surnamed Wang closed his mouth.
"All the generals are lined up to meet the enemy and protect the soldiers' salaries."
"Yes!"
As if facing a great enemy, the soldiers skillfully drew their swords, guns, bows and arrows, and quickly formed a circular array to defend the carriage.
Although the subordinate soldiers of the military department are not as strong as the forbidden army, they are not pocket money, and they are escorted outside all the year round to send soldiers pay and food, what situation has not been seen? It's not out of proportion.
A thousand soldiers are arranged in an iron bucket formation, and without more than three times the number of troops, don't think about eating them in a short time.
Besides, there are no thieves in the vicinity, and if it is a straggler, it is definitely not their opponent.
"Watch out for the waves on both sides, and watch out for enemies attacking with rolling logs and rocks." Cao Guobiao rode his horse and raised his whip, running back and forth in the military formation, shouting, observing the surrounding situation while directing the battle. From this point of view, this Cao Guobiao is by no means a wasted name, and the nickname of the first general of the military department can still be afforded.
The soldiers were fierce, the pennant was fluttering, and the breath of battle spread in the valley.
Cao Guobiao and the generals were ready for battle, and even prepared for the worst.
However, the imaginary situation of the enemy in the mountains did not appear!
Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and the situation of falling stones and trees one after another did not appear!
The hillsides on both sides of the valley were quiet, and there was not the slightest movement!
"What's going on? Could it be a hallucination? β
No, it was no accident that the giant tree of Taniguchi fell from the sky, and it was clear that someone was trying to block the road and rob it.
After a while, a strange cross wind suddenly rose in the valley, which had always been calm, and the cross wind blew up gusts of dust and gravel, hitting the face with great pain.
Cao Guobiao and his generals were so blown by this strange cross wind that they couldn't even open their eyes, and they used shields and swords to protect their foreheads from being hit by rubble.
However, a wave of unevenness has risen again and again.
The cross wind was still raging, and there were suddenly puffs of white smoke in the valley, and everyone's vision soon became blurred.
"What's going on?"
"Crosswinds and fog again? Hell not? β
"Don't talk nonsense, everyone must not take half a step back in the carriage." Cao Guobiao shouted again and again, and the generals tried their best to stabilize the formation.
As everyone knows, in the sky above the valley, there are dozens of demons staring at them.
Caidie is dressed in white, her graceful body is suspended in mid-air, and she is extremely freehand to perform witchcraft, and the cross wind and smoke are Caidie's handwriting.
This is called the blind method, first blowing Cao Guobiao and they are confused, and then Uncle Juli and they will go out again to remove the soldiers and salaries on the carriage unknowingly.
Ji Chenfeng had explained before he started that the minimum was not to hurt people's lives, and the rest was left to the demons to play freely.
Fortunately, the demons do not have the habit of killing, otherwise in this case, the 1,000 subordinate soldiers who escorted the soldiers' salaries would only be slaughtered.
I don't know how long it took for the crosswind in the valley to gradually stop and the smoke slowly cleared.
As soon as the sight of Cao Guobiao and the others returned to normal, suddenly a soldier shouted, "Where is the box? Why is the box missing! β
"Oops, the soldier's salary has been robbed!"
"Lord Toto, how is this good?"
Looking at the empty carriage, Cao Guobiao's heart was cool, and a chill went straight to Tianlinggai from the soles of his feet.
"Impossible, impossible, we haven't seen anyone approaching from beginning to end, how could this soldier's salary be missing?"
The soldiers and generals were terrified and said: "But Lord Dutong, the soldiers' salaries are indeed gone, and the crosswinds and white smoke that raged in the valley just now are not normal, could it be that there are ghosts and ghosts, or are there demons doing evil?" β
"Don't talk nonsense, this is the hinterland of the empire, where the demons and monsters come? Don't scare yourself. β
Cao Guobiao forcibly calmed himself down, and then hurriedly ordered: "The team is divided into four teams, and quickly search in the four directions of the Sheep Intestine Valley to see if there are any clues, and send a team of people to Luoshui City to report the matter to the Luoshui City transfer envoy and the prefect, and move quickly." β
The generals hurriedly received the order, and they scattered in pursuit of each other, only Cao Guobiao sat on the ground with an earthy face.
