Chapter 47: Failure to delay, loss of twenty people

By the time Wei Zhe walked back to the hut, the other guards had already searched the hut again.

"Report, there's no one in the house."

Wei Zhe nodded, he also knew that there was no one, he had already gone in before.

But he still felt that there was something strange about it.

There is no one in the hut, but there are traces of someone coming.

"General, there are signs of firewood in the kiln." A soldier who had been following Wei Zhe's side quietly came to Wei Zhe, who was thinking, and whispered.

Wei Zhe let out an "um" and followed the soldier to the earthen kiln.

At this moment, the fire in the kiln has been extinguished, and some of the carbon inside has been pulled and fallen outside.

"General, you see, this kiln is mainly burned with charcoal, but here, and here, there are traces left by firewood, and this firewood is not burned very thoroughly because of moisture." The pro-soldier picked up a branch in his hand, pulled the charcoal ash in the kiln over and over again, and said.

Wei Zhe also looked down and saw this, thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you know what was burned in this kiln before?" ”

"General Hui, this kind of clay kiln is generally used to burn pottery, but I haven't seen any objects being fired in it." The soldier replied.

Wei Zhe glanced at the earthen kiln and then at the wet wood he had just picked up before, and ordered: "Check carefully, there must be someone nearby." ”

"Wow!"

More than a dozen people automatically divided into three groups in an instant and chased them in three different directions.

Wei Zhe was still circling around the hut and the courtyard, and he didn't understand why this man had to come back and light the kiln before leaving.

Could it be to get their attention?

But why?

Could it be Mu Weiyang's trick again?

After a while, one of the three groups returned to Wei Zhe, reporting that there was a cliff as they continued on, and that from here to the cliff, no anomalies were found.

"What about under the cliff? Has anyone been to see it? Wei Zhe asked.

"Let's go." So saying, they prepared to run down the hill again.

"Wait, you guys, after you go to the bottom of the cliff, stay there, just let one person come back and talk back, and the others are not allowed to leave without an order." Wei Zhe added.

"Wow."

Soon after this group left, Qi Lie's other team appeared in front of Wei Zhe, presumably the previous spies had already told Qi Lie everything they saw, and Qi Lie foresaw that Wei Zhe would be arranged, so he sent him some additional manpower.

Wei Zhe asked these people to search the mountain again, and after the search, they returned to the bottom of the mountain with the more than ten people before.

After the arrangements were made, Wei Zhe himself hurriedly went down the mountain and returned to Qi Lie's location.

"King, there is something strange here, I'm afraid it's a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." After Wei Zhe saw Qi Lie, he said.

Qi Lie asked him what was going on, so he told him everything he saw and thought of.

After finishing speaking, Qi Lie thought for a moment and asked, "Peeing on the firewood?" Or throw wet firewood into the kiln and burn it? If it was Mu Weiyang, do you think she would do such an obvious thing? ”

"No, it won't." Wei Zhe also told the truth.

Qi Lie nodded: "Since this is the case, it is bound not to be Mu Weiyang's work at this time, but someone else." ”

Wei Zhe saw that Qi Lie's analysis was reasonable, so he asked, "Who is that?" ”

Qi Lie smiled: "Since it wasn't Mu Weiyang who did it, who did it, and what does it have to do with me?" ”

Wei Zhe was choked by Qi Lie's words, and he didn't dare to say anything more, but just smiled awkwardly.

Qi Lie saw that Wei Zhe no longer spoke, so he ordered Tianliang to leave as originally planned.

At this time, Wei Zhe added: "But the king, I still think there is something strange at this time, we have searched the mountain several times, and there should be no one on this mountain, so where did these people come from?" ”

Wei Zhe said this, and his mind remembered the experience of being teased by Mu Weiyang many times in the dungeon before.

Qi Lie listened to Wei Zhe's words, thought for a while, and said: "There is indeed something strange, there must be some secrets on this mountain that we don't know, then leave sixty people, and twenty teams will continue to investigate here." ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhe frowned, there are only sixty people in such a big mountain?

Qi Lie saw Wei Zhe's expression change, but he didn't change his mind.

At this moment, one of the group of people sent by Wei Zhe to investigate under the cliff ran back.

"King Qiqi, general, found that some of the grass and trees have very new creases under the southwest cliff, as if someone has walked through and crushed."

After the spies finished speaking, Wei Zhe asked a little excitedly, "But the cliff that I have investigated before but didn't find any traces?" ”

"Exactly, it seems, it should be a sign of a recent departure, and the juice on some of the broken stems of the grass has not yet dried up." The spy replied.

Hearing this, Wei Zhe looked at Qi Lie on the side: "King! ”

Qi Lie raised his hand, indicating that he had also heard the spy's words, so he asked, "What you just said is that there are traces of people under the cliff that you investigated before?" ”

"Yes."

"How many people look like they've passed by?" Qi Lie added.

"Back to the king, there should be only a few people." After the spy finished speaking, Wei Zhe's eyes lit up.

Qi Lie laughed, turned to Wei Zhe and said, "Just now I said that twenty groups of proofreaders should be left here to continue the investigation, and now I think it is enough to keep ten groups of thirty people." ”

Wei Zhe originally thought that Qi Lie would increase the number of people, but he didn't expect that it would be reduced by half, leaving only ten groups of people here, so he couldn't help but be moved and strange, and couldn't help but say: "King, these people, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”

Qi Lie also seemed to see Wei Zhe's thoughts, and said with great conviction: "Mu Weiyang is not here, interfering with the line of sight, ten groups of people are enough." ”

Listening to Qi Lie's words, Wei Zhe was stunned again, then thought for a while, and asked, "King, do you mean that these traces are too obvious now?" ”

Qi Lie nodded and said, "To fight with Mu Weiyang, you still need to use more snacks." ”

After Qi Lie finished speaking, Wei Zhe knelt on the ground with a "swoop" and arched his hand: "Follow the teachings." ”

Although, in terms of age, Wei Zhe is older than Qi Lie and has a lot of experience in marching, but the name of Qi Lie's God of War is not called in vain.

Just as Gongsun Libo had warned Mu Weiyang before, Qi Lie could sit in the position of the lord of the five great powers, although partly because of Mu Weiyang, a military advisor, who planned a layout for him and made him invincible.

But in fact, Qi Lie himself is also an extremely powerful figure.

Otherwise, the battle situation is ever-changing, how could Mu Weiyang be able to deal with so many emergencies just because Mu Weiyang is in the tent?
