Chapter 428: Catch a Few Big Butterflies
Everything went according to plan.
Tristan mud Bodhisattva crossed the river, burst the door and watched the fire across the bank of Pingyang, and the three of them left the drunken flower city with their front and back feet, escorting a large number of territorial soldiers and civilians as hostages, and swept around in a grand manner.
Facing each other with these three forces are Xerxes and Zangduo of the Eastern Foothills Army, and the Zhantuo and Bambul Formations of the Western Foothills Army.
Before the large army started, Zhou Yu carefully told these people not to let Fei Lina put herself in danger, and to protect the queen's guards behind him to avoid the tragedy of being taken captive again.
Mochizuki's eyeliner planted in the royal city reported that in recent days, the vision of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower has been highlighted, and countless soldiers are going up and down every day, pouring buckets of blood from the top down. It is not known whether this blood is human or animal blood.
As for the water king, except for drinking and having fun every day, and blessing the maids and servants of all walks of life, there are no abnormal measures.
"Ma'am, can you give me a ride out of town?"
"Out of town? What are you doing? When it is so intense, if it is not a matter of life, do not make plans for the city. ”
Zhou Yu understood her careful thoughts, this woman was afraid that she would run away. The matter has come to this point, the arrow is on the bow, if you pick the child at this time and withdraw from the gang, you can send her fat duck to the hanging oven, and make it into a hanging oven roast duck in minutes.
"Well, that's right. I don't have to go and kill the water king myself, and now I don't know anything about that old thing, I don't know anything, I don't know why. So I want to go out and find my assistants to come in, discuss it, and make a foolproof plan to ensure that I will win the first battle! ”
The Governor had been preparing for this reason all morning, thinking that he would be able to convince Mochizuki to take her chariot out of the city. It's a pity that it backfired, who is Mochizuki? Shocked like a monkey, not to mention that she saw through the little trick of the Metropolitan Governor at a glance, even if she agreed, time did not agree.
"I said, General, you're not kidding, are you? The water king will do it early the day after tomorrow, you go out to find someone to help now, what are you doing earlier? ”
"Haven't I been getting acquainted with the situation these days, and you also know that you can't get effective data for this kind of thing once or twice, so you have to come up with three or five or eight times...
"Enough!"
Mochizuki snorted and stopped Zhou Yu, who was spitting lotus flowers.
"Now you and I are in the same boat through thick and thin, sharing weal and woe, and I have already written off the previous suspicions and don't take them to heart. The sage's will, I am instructed to work with you to exterminate the Water King, how can I not see that you have any thoughts of gratitude and dedication, and the wish of the five bodies to the earth? ”
Mochizuki pointed to the governor's nose and counted them down. Zhou Yu has long been accustomed to her appearance, and has figured out a set of reasonable coping strategies. Just avoid it and let it go!
Anyway, you're not my direct leader, and we're on secondment now. I asked you for leave here to say that there was something to do with the original unit, and then asked the original unit for leave to say that he was busy with work here, and he couldn't be more familiar with the means of eating at both ends.
It's just that this time he really didn't desert, but really wanted to find someone to come in and help.
Who are you looking for?
He pondered for a few days, and finally determined the best helper to carry out the assassination plan - Butterfly Love Flower and Butterfly Love Creek Brothers. As for why it is the two brothers, it comes from their previous conversation.
The earth dragon with its unsurpassed power has no natural predators, and can actually eat fierce beasts such as the corpse swamp squid, but it has a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot clean the dead skin of its body. Whenever it molts, it is painful and itchy, but only the saliva of our phantom butterfly family can help it melt its skin and relieve itching.
These words were spoken by the butterfly love flowers themselves, their saliva has a special effect, and it should contain a special enzyme, which can play a key role in preventing the physical expansion of objects.
No matter how powerful the water king is, he is also a creature. If it's a living thing, it's weak. The main component of the law of the jungle, which is an important law of nature, must not be wrong. In the current situation, he can think of someone who can cooperate with him to carry out precision strikes, and the only person who can be used at critical moments is Butterfly Lianhua.
The trouble was that he couldn't convince Mochizuki to help him get out of the city. When the task was assigned before, Butterfly Lianhua had not yet arrived due to the farthest distance, but he asked the remaining soldiers to convey a sentence to the leader of the Phantom Butterfly Clan who arrived later, only eight words: Come to Drunken Flower, act cheaply!
Counting the time, Butterfly Love Flower should have almost reached the front line. According to their nature, they are naturally reluctant to work and fight together with anyone, and their simple behavior for thousands of years has even wiped out the traces of the existence of this race on the continent of Thorasia.
If it weren't for Sorento's order, and Butterfly Love Flower is an extremely affectionate and righteous person, the Phantom Butterfly Clan would never have joined this Liberation War.
"Okay, okay, what's your hurry? I can't communicate with you at all, and of course our relationship doesn't need to communicate. We are a pure working relationship, each performing its own duties without mixing personal feelings, I understand this, I understand everything. But this matter is not a trivial matter at the moment, and it is not that I am messing around, don't get used to buttoning your hat and playing word games, and give Lao Tzu a platform. I'm also here for work! ”
"For work?"
"Yes, if I want to assassinate the Water King, I must get the help of someone!"
"Who? You're going out of town to pick him up? ”
"Well, exactly. But I can't tell you this.,Since it's inconvenient to get in and out.,You arrange for people who are convenient to go in and out of Drunken Flower City to go out.,Set traps in a place with such geographical conditions.。。。 ”
Zhou Yu took out the carbon black and discussed it with Mochizuki on the table. First of all, the geographical scene he depicted was like the tribal environment of the Phantom Butterfly Tribe, surrounded by mountains and rivers, rich vegetation, especially rich underground water resources, and hot springs were the best.
Speaking of the back, he looked at the confused Mochizuki, simply took the map out of his arms, and after investigating up and down, he identified three possible locations within thirty miles outside the city of Drunken Flower City, and hit three crosses.
"Is the person you're looking for the most likely hiding place here?"
"yes, that's pretty much it."
The Phantom Butterfly Tribe's requirements for the ecological environment are relatively harsh, which is also the main reason why the people of the Phantom Butterfly Tribe, who have not prospered for thousands of years. The Grand Governor judged that if the Butterfly Flower brothers came, they would definitely not fight alongside others, but would find a secret place to wait for Sorento's direct deployment.
"Then just send someone to invite it, why bother setting traps?"
"My friends are very strange, if you were there in a grand state, they wouldn't show up even if you burst your throat, and they wouldn't go with you. There is no other way to invite them than to use traps to invite them. ”
Butterfly loves peanuts and is suspicious, if it weren't for Zhou Yu appearing in person, it would be impossible for anyone to bring it to Drunken Flower City. That's why the Metropolitan Governor thought of using the despicable means of traps to invite the king into the urn.
As for the bait that set the trap, he pulled out the tarnished bone cup from his bosom. This thing is useless, its soul has become a traitorous eye and has merged with the Metropolitan Governor, but it still has a great attraction and interest in the Phantom Butterfly Clan, and it is best used as bait.
"Are you done, General?"
"Well, that's all I have to say, do you have anything else to add? Madam, it's just the two of us who have a meeting here, why don't you speak?" Give your manuscript to the office to sort it out, and I'll have time to read it again. ”
Zhou Yu blinked his eyes and teased the suspicious beauty. It's all burning his ass, and he still has the mind to gag.
"Where did you get this thing?"
Mochizuki's eyebrows were twisted into a figure of eight, and the slender jade fingers pointed to the map.
"This? Map? ”
The Metropolitan Governor looked for an affirmative answer in Mochizuki's eyes.
"Oh, this map, I got it from the original owner!"
"The original owner? How much do you know about the original owner? ”
Mochizuki pressed closer, as if interrogating a child who had stolen five yuan from his parents' wallet and went to an arcade to buy coins.
"I know a lot, I don't know which paragraph Madame wants to hear?"
Zhou Yu still spread his hands so annoyingly, signaling that his secret was picked up.
"You're from the original owner's hometown?"
"It's not!"
"Have you seen the original owner?"
"Nope!"
"And how did you get it?"
"I picked it up, okay? It's not illegal to pick it up, right? ”
The Governor wasn't lying, he didn't want to make the same old mistake as he owed. For partners like Mochizuki who don't know the roots, it's best to stay away and do something and not do something. However, this answer can also stand up to scrutiny, although he has seen Sullivan, Parry and 139, but these are not the original owner, at best they are artificial intelligence invented by the original owner.
There are only two real owners, one with Sullivan and the other with Nika in the Netherworld. However, they are all corpses.
"Picked up?"
Mochizuki repeated it in a long voice.
"And what is this?"
Her finger pointed to the bone cup again.
"Oh my aunt, why do you have so many questions? Are you a reading pen? Didn't I say that you have to set traps, traps, how can you set traps if you don't have bait? ”
Mochizuki has been well-read since childhood, and has studied under the High Priest, who is the most knowledgeable person in the Borderlands. Because she has been assigned the direction of employment since she was a child, which is what we call directional training, she is very attentive and attentive to everything about Soracia, and there are almost no historical and current events that she does not understand.
Except for those that are not recorded in historical sources. It's a pity that she is also suffering from this, the historical materials are written by the people who want you to see the story written like this, as for what the truth is, you will never be able to dig it out without looking for it, so there will be Cui Yongyuan's "Oral History", Chai Jing's "Under the Dome" and Fan Jianchuan's Jianchuan Museum.
For the bone cup of reality, she can't match the number for a while. For the few guests she is about to cooperate with Zhou Yu to "invite", they may only exist in legends and imagination.
"So who are you going to arrest?"
"Help me catch a few big butterflies!"
