Chapter 257: Bamboo Tube and Checks and Balances
The trails of being dragged on the ground were crooked, like a child's painting on the ground.
There were scratches and fingerprints on the bark of the struggle.
They also tried in vain to get hold of the trees without being dragged away. It's a pity that the current Xie Tu is no longer the one who has to exhaust all his strength to drag a person, and he can't drag it as long as he holds the trunk on the other side.
After growing up for such a long time, it would have been easy for him to separate the mountain.
The scout who was sleeping on the ground had no idea that there was such a dangerous presence in the vicinity.
He was still indulging in beautiful dreams.
Whew...... The snoring continued in the woods, and he slept even deeper.
"Hey! Get up! Don't sleep! ”
"Hurry up!" The scout was not awakened by the sound of him waking up, but by the sound of a blade unsheathed.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that he was pressed against a long sword at the neck, and the man stood in the sunlight and stabbed him with a face that he could not see clearly.
"You ......"
"Shut up!"
As soon as he wanted to speak, he was coldly reprimanded by the man with the sword.
Seeing that he was still under the control of others, he didn't struggle and closed his eyes: "If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want!" I won't betray anyone! I would never say I was a scout! It won't be said that our general asked us to find out what is going on! You're going to die of this heart!! ”
“……”
Xie Tu put his sword into the sheath, and there was an expression of a fool on his face.
This kind of person not only exists in jokes, but also in reality!
Just now, Xie Tu just wanted to take a rest, but found that there was a person at the foot of the mountain who was sleeping heavily, and he was sleeping unscrupulously!
Don't take him seriously at all!
But he didn't want to spare him like this, so he could only show up and scare him.
"You? Scouts who don't fall into the country? If you don't fall into the country, you just want you to be so stupid! Xie Tu snorted coldly and put his sword into the sheath.
Seeing Xie Tu put away his sword, the man hurriedly rolled and stood up, and took out a short dagger from his arms: "You go!" I won't kill you! ”
“???”
Xie Tu listened to this man's words, and a string of question marks almost popped up in his head.
How does this man feel so good about himself? Even if I stand and let you cut you, you won't be able to cut it?!
Where did you find this kind of great cleverness? How can you be so smart?
"You're not going to kill me?"
"Yes!"
After confirming this person's IQ again, Xie Tu can be sure that he is a big smart person, and there is no need to question it.
"You're trying to kill me?! Just you? A little crumb that doesn't fall into the country?! ”
Xie Tu drew his long sword, and with a slight slash, a sword gang flew out, splitting the horse beside the man in two.
This hand stunned the scout. Isn't this a move that only appears in a small picture book?
Isn't this the first-class land immortal?
Smack......
The dagger in the scout's hand fell to the ground and hurriedly took a few steps back.
How does this work? Hit with your head?
He looked left and right, and found that his fast horse had long since lost his life, and he probably couldn't run.
After some consideration, he only heard a plop and knelt on the ground.
"Uncle! I just bragged! I didn't want to hit you, and I didn't want to do anything with you! Leave me alone......"
The backbone that had just been pretended to be destroyed in an instant.
"Didn't you just want to kill or chop me up? Why are they now soft-footed shrimp? ”
Xie Tu sneered and kicked him in the chest.
"Isn't that what the book says says is that death has more backbone...... And I heard that I would survive, so I said so. ”
The scout clutched his chest and explained to Shettu.
It is more dignified to die like that.
It was interesting to see this person, and Xie Tu threw a bamboo tube at him.
"Show this thing to your general, don't open it privately, it will kill people!" Xie Tu smiled, and thought of another strategy to maximize the benefits.
That is to let both sides have the power of assimilation, but one side has less, and the other has more.
Then the maximum benefit of this war will be revealed!
At least the benefits will be visible to themselves.
'Lu Ling, give you strength, but you want to betray me. Then don't blame me for giving them this power! ’
The scout picked up the bamboo tube, and when he looked up, he found that the person in front of him had disappeared without a trace.
"What the hell!? What's going on?! Hurry back and report to the general!! ”
The man ran down the hill and met another scout with him.
But the scout was hit by an arrow in the waist, and the blood soaked through the saddle and ran down the horse's belly.
"Wait for me! I have important information!! Take me for a ride!! ”
He looked at the dozens of enemy soldiers chasing in the distance on horseback and bows, and hurriedly shouted at the scout.
When the scout heard this, he glanced at him, saw the bamboo tube in his hand, and quickly stopped and beckoned to him: "Come on!" ”
He was also more aggressive, and got on his horse and sat behind the scout.
"Let's go! I have important information! ”
In a sound of urging, the horses hurried towards the garrison of the country of Buluo.
The general who did not fall into the country quickly understood what was going on after seeing this piece of smoke and dust: "Go!" Send a team to meet them! Come on!! ”
This must have encountered an enemy army, but some important information was obtained, and I had to hurry back!
In a rush of urgency, a team of men and horses came out of the barracks and hurriedly responded to the two scouts.
"Retreat! The country is not falling!! ”
The team of more than a dozen people quickly turned around, but still pulled up the bowstring and missed the arrow as they turned around, trying to shoot the two off their horses.
I don't know what this arrow is, but it really hit the bamboo tube in the man's hand!
A trace of black mist escaped from the bamboo tube, and was partially absorbed by the man.
But because of his professional ethics, he did not discard the bamboo tube, but grasped it more tightly.
When the two returned to the army, the scout who had been hit by an arrow had already lost signs of life, and the advance just now was completely the memory of the horse under him returning to the army.
The general walked out of the military tent and said to the adjutant beside him: "Thick burial, wait for our army to win a great victory and go to his house to distribute twenty taels of gold!" ”
"But he didn't bring any useful news?"
"He brought it back."
The general looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground with a bamboo tube in his hand and gasping for air, and a smile appeared on his face.
"What did you bring back?"
"The villain doesn't know ......"
"I don't know?!"
The general grabbed him and dragged him to the tent: "You say it again?!" Don't you know?! ”
The scout's hideous face startled the scout, he hadn't been so scared when he faced Xie Tu just now!
"This ...... This was given to me by a high-ranking person, and he said that I should give it to the general...... won't let me open it, and I don't know what's inside...... Say I'm going to die if I open it......"
"The man killed my horse with a wave of his hand, and he came and went without a trace, just like the men he had met during the siege!"
