Chapter Twenty-Four

In the small manor on the outskirts of the town, a large army marched slowly in the lane not far away, and a chariot in the army stopped at the intersection of the lane fork to the manor, Wang Yue jumped down directly from the car, looked at the direction of the manor, and called two samurai and warriors of the hundred team to accompany him and go to the manor together.

"General, this manor has been through war. ”

When he arrived at the gate of the manor, the accompanying warrior arched his hand, Wang Yue's gaze swept over the broken gate of the manor, and then paid a little attention to the wall that had suffered different damage, and finally landed on an arrow on the wall that went deep into the wall.

After some looking, I looked down and looked around the path, although a long time has passed, I can vaguely see the traces of the march of the large group of people and horses, and see the castration of the march, which came from the main road, and reached the manor through the path, and then the detachment moved forward, surrounding the manor in all directions.

"You go to the surrounding households or other villages and ask what's going on here?"

"No. Several samurai each went to the side with a small group of warriors.

Wang Yue then went in from the gate of the manor, entered the gate, bypassed the wall, and not far away was the courtyard where he used to subdue the serpentine warriors, but it was completely different from that time, the grass in the courtyard had grown, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a large pool of black objects in the middle of the courtyard.

Coagulated blood, so much? Wang Yue narrowed his eyes.

A long time has passed, and there have been winds and rains in the middle, and there are still large pools of blood that can still be left.

He knew at a glance that many people had died in the courtyard, and that the killer had not cleaned up the scene after the killing.

Where did the corpse go? I guess it was the corpse collected by the people in the surrounding villages.

In such an era, unless there is a major war, ordinary rural villagers usually go around in a small area all their lives, so most of the people in a place have in-laws or direct relatives, and the farmers in the manor all die here, and someone must collect the corpses.

After exploring the courtyard and stopping for a while, Wang Yue continued to walk inside, inspecting the various rooms, and found many signs of destruction in these rooms.

Many traces were caused by the unique penetration of the samurai's shots, and the walls of many rooms were vigorously blasted through, and all kinds of furniture were smashed to pieces, and the altars and jars were also shattered.

There is no doubt that after the enemy attacked the manor, the samurai in the manor also used the house as a barrier to resist.

It's just a pity that the enemy is too strong and outnumbered, and the result can be imagined.

Looking at this scene, Wang Yue shook his head and sighed slightly, seeing this, he no longer had much hope for Wenli's survival.

Obviously, Wen Li's enemies first destroyed the Yue Bin Wine Inn, and later even tracked it down, or mobilized a large group of men and warriors to surround the group, in this case, if Wen Li was in this manor, most of them would not be able to escape this fate.

"General. A moment later, the samurai who had been sent around to listen to the news arrived.

"Tell me what happened here. ”

"Yes. The samurai bowed his hand and said respectfully: "General, the surrounding villagers said that on the night of about a month and a half ago, the little gentleman of the Nagisa clan personally led a team of military chariots to surround this manor, and then attacked overnight, and after breaking through the manor, he killed everyone in the manor. ”

"I see. Wang Yue nodded slightly, but listened to the warrior continue: "The villain has also heard some strange things, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"What's strange?"

"Yes, the villagers said that because the people of the Nagisa clan had killed so much, there was a lot of resentment here, so much so that since that day, ghosts have been haunted from time to time. ”

"Ghosts haunt. Wang Yue thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "You go back first, and General Ben will continue to take a look here." ”

"This. The warrior hesitated slightly, and Wang Yue waved his hand and said, "Why, you still have to worry about the safety of this general." ”

"No!" the samurai thought about it, what kind of person Wang Yue is, the strength of the force is enough to break through a thousand armies by one person, such a powerful person, where can he worry about the safety, if he really encounters a powerful person, his strength, I am afraid that it will also cause chaos here.

After the warrior left, Wang Yue laughed and said, "What a ghost haunts." ”

As he spoke, he activated his pig dragon qi and released a wave of sound waves towards the ground below, then tried to sense the echo, nodded after a while, and went straight to an inconspicuous house in the courtyard with piles of miscellaneous items, and found a secret door inside.

Push it open lightly and forcefully, and enter through the secret door, and there is a staircase inside.

Going down, it is a secret room reinforced with stone slabs and stones, the space of the secret room is quite large, there are some armor, weapons, smoke and all kinds of hidden objects in it, there are a few cases and many beds in the middle, and there are a large number of sheepskins and books on the cabinet on the other side.

Looking at the other side of the secret room, there is also an exit connected to the tunnel, judging from the previous echo measurement results, the tunnel leads directly to the side wall of a natural culvert fifty zhang away, and it is not necessary to think that it is an extremely hidden place.

Wang Yue knew that since there was such a secret room under the manor, the Japanese Rite must have escaped death by relying on it, or even more than just escaping death, and he continued to operate from this seemingly dangerous manor as a base after the enemy left.

The ghosts in the villagers' mouths may have seen them active at night, or they deliberately created this kind of news so that the villagers did not dare to approach this manor, but this is a little clever person like Shenhe Wenli.

The so-called ghost he came out, in Wang Yue's view, is really redundant, this place has been destroyed once, in the hearts of ordinary people, this is already a psychological blind spot, and it will never come again, and as a result, the so-called ghost rumors are made, but they want to cover it up.

Wang Yue shook his head, walked to the front of a few cases, picked up a few sheepskins on them, and took a look at them, only to see that these sheepskins were full of news about the Huaishang Coalition Army.

He thought about it for a while, although Wenli was active here, he might not be able to determine when he would be able to return, and it was impossible for him to stay here for a long time, so he picked up the pen on the side and added a line of small characters below: "Wenli, the lord is here, and he hasn't come to see him yet." ”

After finishing writing, after finally looking at the secret room, Wang Yue went up the stairs to the side.

Later, he left the manor, joined up with the army, and continued eastward, arriving at the border between Yin and Nagisa in the afternoon, where he had attacked overnight.

The checkpoint has been repaired, but there is no one inside.

Presumably, he knew that his army would attack Zhu sooner or later, so he retreated directly back to the city of Zhudi. So the army passed through this outpost, drove straight in, and finally arrived at the city of Zhuyi, which was the most memorable in the body at noon on the second day. (To be continued.) )
