Chapter 138: The Dead Man Who Cut His Tongue

Those homeless people seem to be a rabble, but they have their own deadly momentum when they start a war, and they are all infinitely powerful, so although the Taiping army is superior in numbers, it is difficult to suppress the arrogance of those homeless people for a while, and even once they were still at a disadvantage, so angry that Zhu Xikun was like thunder.

Seeing that those homeless people are becoming more and more courageous, and they have the posture of breaking through the encirclement of the Taiping army, Uncle Li shook his head, looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou and said: "No wonder these Taiping troops can't take Cangzhou City even today, this combat effectiveness, it's hard to say, what, Uncle always feels that these homeless people are a little wrong, you two go up, do help them catch a few prisoners, I will interrogate and interrogate." ”

After getting Uncle Li's instructions, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, who were already a little itchy, took out the white-handed knife they were carrying, and as soon as they mentioned the qi of the dantian, the vajra in their bodies instantly emitted scorching energy, and in an instant, Yang Yi felt that a kind of déjà vu energy was absorbed into his body.

As soon as Yang Yi and Wei Ergou joined the battle group, those Taiping troops were about to speak out to stop them, for fear that they would have an accident, and when they looked again, they saw Yang Yi and Wei Ergou like goshawks pounced on rabbits, with a dazzling short knife blade flashing in their hands, and they poked over a few homeless people.

When Yang Yi and Wei Er were fighting with those homeless people, they felt that the eyes of those homeless people were a little strange, their eyes were like dead fish, their expressions were stiff, and they looked like a moving zombie, and they muttered a little in their hearts that these homeless people who were fighting desperately and bloodily in front of them were very similar to the guys who were controlled by soul detention in Cao Tong's inn, and then they understood why Uncle Li wanted to take a few prisoners for interrogation.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou glanced at each other, Yang Yi made a feint, and shook the white-handed knife with the surging light in front of the eyes of a homeless person, the guy knew the power of the white-handed knife, and instinctively raised the waist knife in his hand, wanting to block the white-handed knife, how did he know that Yang Yi made a false move at this time, the purpose was to attract his attention, and Wei Ergou took advantage of the situation to sweep his legs back and swept the guy to the ground, Yang Yi immediately knelt and pressed the clamp arm, cut the two arms of the guy and pressed them with his knees.

Seeing that Yang Yi controlled the house, Wei Ergou and Yang Yi cooperated seamlessly, and neither of them used words to communicate, Wei Ergou directly touched the back of the homeless man's head, and with a crisp sound, a copper hairpin with a bell was pulled out of the back of his head, and the homeless man's hands and feet twitched, and he fainted.

As soon as they saw the familiar and strange soul-controlling copper hairpin, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou's faces changed greatly, and then they put down a homeless person, and also found out the soul-controlling copper hairpin from the back of their heads, so far, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou realized that these homeless people in front of them had some unknown connections with Cao Tong, the owner of the Xishen Inn, the men who escorted the silver to Cangzhou, and the wizards of the Rakshasa country, no wonder Uncle Li cared so much about the every move of these homeless.

"Uncle, what should I do if I find a copper hairpin?" Wei Ergou saw Uncle Li standing not far away with his hands behind his back, looking at them with a gloomy face, so he raised his hairpin and shouted.

"Guessed, the key is to stay alive." Uncle Li exclaimed from afar.

Because they knew that these homeless people were controlled by the soul control technique, they would be so desperate, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were moved by compassion, and shouted loudly that those Taiping soldiers should not hurt the lives of these homeless people, and the two of them would go and knock them out one by one, so that they could be captured alive. How could it be that many people in the Taiping army have been injured by these displaced people who have lost their minds, how do they know that these displaced people are actually puppets manipulated by others, taking advantage of the fact that those displaced people were partially stunned by Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, and their combat effectiveness was weakened, they were killers and cut down several displaced people in an instant.

Seeing that those Taiping soldiers were killers, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou had the heart to stop them, but considering that the Taiping army suffered a lot of casualties, those soldiers lived and died together in peace, and they were as close as flesh and blood, how could they not be annoyed when they saw their brothers being killed, even if they were heavier, it was understandable. Besides, those homeless people who have not been pulled out of the soul control copper hairpin are clearly killing machines, those Taiping soldiers do not kill them, they will not be grateful, in turn they will ask for their lives from those Taiping troops, as the so-called two tigers fight, there will be an injury, in the balance of hearts, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou can not lean towards either side.

However, when the red-eyed Taiping army finished killing the remaining homeless people and rushed towards the few homeless people who fainted on the ground with knives, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou could no longer stand idly by, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop those Taiping soldiers and said: "Hey, hey, what about you, stand back, these are useful for our masters, and they are not allowed to touch them!" ”

Those Taiping soldiers were already red-eyed, the blood in their bodies was boiling like fire, and they completely forgot that if it weren't for the brave Yang Yi and Wei Ergou just now, they would almost be killed and collapsed by these homeless people, and they looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou one by one, and it means that you will not let go again, and even you will be cut together!

"My grass, what is this shiny thing, why am I a little blind, hehe" Wei Ergou looked at those Taiping soldiers with some disdain, pouted his teeth, looked at Yang Yi and sneered.

After seeing the performance of those Taiping soldiers just now, Yang Yi was also very disappointed with them, and finally understood why more than 20,000 Taiping soldiers attacked Shanghai back then, but they were blocked by a mere few hundred foreign guns.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "I also think that these grandchildren are a bit of a bit of a mouthful of picking up a bowl to eat meat, putting down the bowl and scolding their mother, no, what's the matter, you are really playing face, didn't you tell you that you are not allowed to go any further, I grass, you are still moving, believe it or not, I will kill you with a knife!" ”

Seeing that those Taiping soldiers were staring straight and still going forward, Yang Yi's small universe was about to reach the critical point of explosion, and his tone suddenly became stern when he mentioned his dantian qi.

At this moment, Zhu Xiyan, who was watching the battle, rode his horse and ran over, and scolded the soldiers to retreat. When he arrived at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, Zhu Xiyan turned over and dismounted, and said: "Thank you to the two little masters for helping each other, these brothers of mine are all from old Guangxi, and they are all brothers of the same clan who are in the same spirit. ”

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou still had to give Zhu Xiyan face, so they arched their hands and laughed.

At this time, Uncle Li also came over, he did not go to see the prisoners who began to wriggle on the ground, but went to the carriage, picked up a few ingots of silver and looked at them, frowned, and was speechless.

After a while, Uncle Li walked up to Zhu Xiyan, who didn't know what was going on, handed him the silver in his hand, and asked, "Military commander, did you take this silver from the treasury of the state government that you captured?" ”

Zhu Xiyan took the silver and looked at it, and said: "Our army did take silver from some government treasury, but most of them were used to sell military supplies such as gunpowder and food, and some were used to help the victims, but we will not carry such a amount of silver all the way, mainly because we are afraid that the weight of the silver will delay the speed of the march, and what we urgently need is food and gunpowder lead, what is the use of bringing these Laoshzi?" Also, it seems that the silver has been re-dissolved and cast, and the weight is heavier than the official silver, but I don't know why. ”

Uncle Li knew that Zhu Xiyan didn't know about Cao Tong and the others, and he would not hide himself, so he smiled and said: "Okay, since this silver is not from the barracks, there is only one explanation, these homeless people pretend to be the Twist Army or the Rebel Army who defected to you, and their purpose is to use your barracks to carry private goods, what does the military commander think?" ”

"The old immortal saw what he taught," Zhu Xiyan's face turned red, and he thought that Uncle Li was mocking him for not governing the army strictly, and let some unscrupulous people mix in the barracks and start the business of roosters and dogs, so he couldn't help but look like Guan Gong, and said with a forced smile: "This commander will pass on the order, and all the recruits who join later will be screened to prevent this kind of thing from happening again!" ”

"The military commander misunderstood," Li Shu'er saw that Zhu Xiyan misunderstood the meaning of his words, and hurriedly explained: "The army of more than 10,000 people under the general's command, even if it is famous generals such as Cao Mengde and Zhou Yafu in Guzhi, will inevitably fall into the mud and sand, and the real person has no intention of ridicule, I want to ask, when did these homeless people enter the barracks?" ”

"This," Zhu Xiyan looked embarrassed, "The old immortal doesn't know, I am handsome, busy with military affairs, these things that recruit and rebel are all responsible for the golden entanglement bridge, and I really don't know the details." ”

"That's right," Uncle Li bowed slightly, "It is precisely with the golden bridge as the internal response and eyeliner that these homeless people can drive these carts carrying silver into the barracks in a grand manner, and then mix them with those carts loaded with food, gunpowder, weapons and other baggage, and march all the way here without being seen and seen...... This is really the thieves are too cunning and meticulous, if you are not overlooking, the commander should not blame himself too much. ”

At this time, the three homeless people lying on the ground also woke up, and when they saw that they were awake, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were overjoyed, picked one up, and shouted: "Uncle, wake up one, you should ask quickly, hehe"

"Okay," after hearing this, Uncle Li was also a little excited, and came over a few steps, and saw that the sallow and aggrieved homeless man was about to speak, when suddenly his face sank, he reached out and pinched the homeless's mouth, and said hatefully: "What a vicious heart, and a vicious method!" ”

As soon as they heard that Li Shu'er's tone was wrong, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou also hurriedly looked at the mouthpiece of the homeless man, only to find that his tongue had been cut off by Qi Gen.

It seems that after these outcasts were selected as the dead soldiers to cover the escape of other accomplices, they were controlled by the soul-controlling copper hairpins, but even so, those accomplices were not at ease, and cut off their tongues, which were already walking corpses, in order to prevent them from being captured alive and confessing the whereabouts of their accomplices.
