"It's strange," I said, "that usually those who serve in the war are fed and clothed by the military, and they don't carry any money with them except weapons, so what do these people get out of touching the corpses?" Besides, the situation on the battlefield is changeable, and outsiders appear in it, and it is easy to be regarded as a remnant or a spy, I am afraid that I will have to take a big risk, and the gains outweigh the losses, right? ”

"Yes," Meng Jiang nodded, "I heard that the people who did this in the early days were just some homeless people, hungry and cold, and had no choice but to try their luck on the dead on the battlefield who had no one to deal with the aftermath. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But then it coincided with a national disaster, wars broke out, and there were not only poor people in the army, but also some children who were once well-off were forced to enlist in the army when the country was ruined. It's just that to find such a person from the crowd, and to find the right time in the ever-changing battle situation, not every thief can do it. Like the ghosts of Lizhen Town, those who dare to call themselves a genre are the best among them. ”

"I see," I said, "that is what the people down there really are." No wonder when I asked about their identities just now, a few of them seemed quite wary. It seems that no matter how unashamedly he claims to be a ghost, he is still a thief in the final analysis, so he naturally doesn't want to be exposed to people. ”

So that's it! At this point, I fully understood what Meng Jiang meant by saying that this group of people was very suitable for us to be our guides. A man who makes a fortune from the dead is like a hound, and has the most sensitive sense of smell in a place like a battlefield, where there are piles of dead people. After all, Longxi was once the territory of the Qiang Qin, and the base camp of the current imperial dynasty, although there may be some border conflicts, but there are very few wars that are enough to cause large-scale casualties, so naturally they can't attract these ghosts.

Now that they are here, the greatest possibility is that they are going to Longxi for this war. But it is certainly not enough to know that a war has broken out, they also need to know how many troops the Qin army and the Hecher army have invested, where the specific conflict is, whether it is possible to fight for a long time or a truce in an instant, and so on. After all, the purpose is special, and some specific details that cannot be known through ordinary channels, for example, some of the situation of the leader of the Hecher tribe called Arc Liang may have already been mastered. Therefore, if we go all the way with them, we may have the opportunity to obtain this valuable information, and we can get twice the result with half the effort!

"I've also heard of the name of the ghost in Lili Town, but I don't know if it's these people brought by Cong Lijiao." I was thinking about it when I heard Sang Qing say, "And I heard that some of them who do this business later don't just touch corpses, and sometimes they are hired by people to do more secret things in the chaos." ”

"What could be more secret than touching the corpse of a dead man?" I was surprised.

"For example, stealing information, spreading rumors, sabotaging some important armaments, and even assassin......ations," Sang Qing said, "is not as simple and straightforward as taking money from an employer that is not sure whether it exists from a corpse." It's just that it is not easy to gain the trust of the employer and resist the pursuit of all parties afterwards. ”

This made me a little secretly frightened. After all, touching the corpse is at best a means for the common people to survive in the war era, but if it rises to the level of intervening in the course of the war between the two sides, it will have a certain sense of espionage. Anyway, it was a bit surprising to hear that someone was making a career out of it in an age like this, and that they were doing it well!

It's good to be in the company of such dangerous people and be able to use their power smoothly, but if you cause unnecessary trouble because of such people who are not tolerated in the world, will you really not mess things up?

But when I looked at Meng Jiang, I saw her eyes shining in the dark shadow of the light, and her expression seemed to be quite expectant, and I immediately understood our situation at this time.

Whether it is the task given to us by Yingzheng or the matter of finding Yue Bi in this chaotic situation, it is not something that can be done by following the rules. At this time, encountering Cong Liqi is equivalent to encountering an opportunity, and at the same time, it is also like a gamble, it depends on whether we can show a little adventure to meet it!

It's just that the attitude of this Cong Cong in front of the two girls is clearly a lascivious uncle, which is really disgusting, and walking with this kind of person is probably not a pleasant thing! I looked at the guy in the corner and couldn't help but frown.

The next morning, before dawn, I heard a lot of noise outside, as if a lot of people were making noise. I was a little dazed, I heard Sang Qing calling me outside the door, quickly dressed and got up, rushed downstairs to see, standing in front of the door in a hurry, it was Cong Liyan who was standing in front of the door, everyone was dressed neatly, and they didn't seem to have anything in their hands, and when they saw us coming down, someone shouted: "Cong Da, the woman you are waiting for is here!" ”

"Get out of here!" Cong Li walked out of the crowd with a curse, and when he saw Meng Jiang and Sang Qing, he still said with a smile on his face: "Let's go, there may be rain this afternoon, let's go over the mountain early." ”

After speaking, he turned around and shouted, "Hurry up and bring it up!" The man behind him heard this, and came with two animals, not as tall as horses, but sturdy and vigorous, and they were two mules.

"This is the car I prepared for the two girls, shall we go?" Cong Li said.

The car of the two girls? I was puzzled, and when I looked at the others, they had already begun to move slowly, which meant that they were about to set off on their legs!

"Are you going to walk over the hills?" I asked.

Cong Liyan turned his head to look at me, and said in surprise: "Yes! Do you want me to carry you! ”

Who wants someone like you to carry it! I sweated profusely, and then said, "But isn't it slow to walk like this?" ”

"Slow? That's you, we're not slow! If you don't want to go, go to the official road to the south, and it's going to be there in seven or eight days! Cong Li said disdainfully.

Seven or eight days... We can't wait, we need to get to Longxi as soon as possible, although I don't have any trust in these people, but for now, that's the only way to go.

In desperation, I had no choice but to agree: "Okay, but who is faster and who is slow, but it is still uncertain!" ”

Cong Li was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, Housheng, then let me see your foot strength!" ”

When Sang Qing walked towards the mule and passed by me, I was surprised for a moment, and couldn't help but whisper: "It's a bit surprising that you would accept this kind of special care!" ”

Sang Qing gave me a blank look and said, "What do you know?" I'm for Meng Jiang! Then he got on the mule, and shouted to me condescendingly, "Hey, it's not good yet, I want you to look good with this girl!" ”

I hurriedly replied, "Miss, look at it! Let's go! He grabbed the reins and followed the team, so cooperative that Sang Qing smiled.

She wasn't a squeamish person, and she would have asked to go with us all the way in her usual way, and she wouldn't ride a mule. But right now, there are only two girls in this team, if she walks on the ground, Meng Jiang will definitely not ride a mule alone, considering this, she didn't refuse. This Nizi is still so considerate!

Before leaving, I looked east, but it was just a little white. The air was a little damp and cold, and a faint mist had faintly appeared between the talks, and more than a dozen of us in this group walked towards the depths of Longshan Mountain in this way. (To be continued.) )
