Chapter 24: Stocktaking the Situation
Jiayu stronghold.
Ye Yu followed the old auxiliary guard to Wang Lingwei's residence, and after pushing the door open, a strong smell of blood rushed straight to his nose.
He rubbed his nose and looked at Wang Lingwei on the bed.
"It's... It's Lingwu... Lingwu Spiritual Department..."
Seeing that he was dying, the old auxiliary guard hurriedly whispered: "Captain Wei, it's the spirit guard who is here for defense." ”
"Ben Wei Ye Yu, I've seen Wang Wei!" Ye Yu clasped his fists and saluted.
Wang Lingwei on the bed stretched out his hand with difficulty, wanting to return the gift with a fist.
It's just that he was so weak that he struggled a few times and then couldn't move.
"Leaf... Ye Wei smiled. ”
"How did this happen?" Ye Yu asked suspiciously.
It is said that with the strong body of the spirit warrior, as long as he is not killed on the spot, even if he is seriously injured, he will recover quickly, why is this Wang Lingwei's fate hanging in the balance.
"The king... King Beast! ”
Wang Lingwei's eyes showed fear, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Hearing this, Ye Yu's face sank, and he stepped to the bed to carefully observe his state.
I saw that Wang Lingwei's face was shriveled, and his hands exposed outside the quilt were unusually thin, giving people a skinny feeling.
"This is the Spirit Devouring Venom of the King Beast."
He felt that the spiritual power in Wang Lingwei's body was flowing rapidly, and he suddenly felt some palpitations.
Spirits are not immortal, although there are not many ways in this world to kill them.
But there are still things that can kill spirits, and the venom of the king beast is one of them.
The Soul Breaking Crossbow assembled by the border army was soaked in venom to have the special ability to break the spirit.
"To... Want... Be careful with the four ......"
Wang Lingwei had already run out of oil at this time, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed it indiscriminately for a while, and after muttering a few words intermittently, he swallowed his breath completely.
As he lost his breath, the old guard sat on the ground and wept sadly.
Seeing a powerful spirit priest die on the bed, Ye Yu suddenly felt a trace of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.
At this time, he understood why the old auxiliary guard said that he couldn't go back, according to the regulations of the Daming Spiritual Department, the direct spiritual guard died, and the auxiliary guard to which he belonged could only be trapped here.
These auxiliary guards, who have lost their spiritual guards, are commonly known as Shu auxiliary guards, and are unified under the command of the local chief of auxiliary guards.
As for their identities, they have been transformed into cannon fodder, and they must continue to rush to the front line until they die.
Day 2.
In the Lodge of the Resident Chief of the Spiritual Department.
Ye Yu, who got up early, arranged Wang Lingwei's funeral, took over the management of the station, and was busy all morning and barely straightened out his clues.
Just as he was stretching his waist, he saw Yu Deshui walking in with the account book.
"Captain of the Guard! The accounts are sorted out. ”
Yu Deshui entered the hall and stood still, and said to Ye Yu on the main seat.
"Oh? Nothing is wrong, right? ”
"There's nothing wrong with the books, it's just ......"
"What's wrong?"
"There is no money in the treasury, and I am afraid that we will not be able to send it out this month."
Hearing this, Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Not a single copper plate is gone?" ”
"Yes! Two days ago, there was a huge amount of expenses, and the accounts only recorded that they were consolation payments, and there was no detailed catalog. ”
It's the first two days again? Why did so much happen in those two days, and what was the reason for that?
Ye Yu held his forehead and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason.
"Let this go in advance, and later you send a spiritual message to Xisi, and ask them to pull out the spirit yuan as soon as possible."
"It's... Captain of the Guard! Shall we check it out? ”
"Uncle Yu, don't check! No matter how much you check the accounts, you can't find a problem, and if you die, your debts will be eliminated, so let it go. ”
Hearing this, Yu Deshui bowed his head and was silent, agreeing with what he said.
At this time, Jiang Wu outside the hall hurriedly walked in.
He glanced at Yu Deshui, clenched his fists and said to Ye Yu: "Wei Chang! Check it out. ”
"There are no outsiders here, just say it!" Seeing that he was secretive, Ye Yu frowned.
Sensing Ye Yu's dissatisfaction, Jiang Wu hurriedly said: "My subordinates have inquired about Governor Zhao, who is looking for a case, and the Jinyi guard from Lingwu Pass came two days ago and had a secret conversation with Wang Lingwei for an hour, and then Wang Lingwei went out of the city with thirty auxiliary guards. ”
"Do you know what to do?"
"This ...... Governor Zhao was very secretive about this matter, but it seemed that the dead soldier camp also went out of the city that day. ”
"Camp of the Dead?"
Hearing this, Ye Yu's mind was shocked by Wang Lingwei's words before he died, could it be that he said to be careful of the dead soldiers' camp?
It was really eventful, Ye Yu patted his forehead to soothe his emotions, and instructed Jiang Wu: "Old Jiang, you go and restrain the auxiliary guards, and order them to put all the spiritual weapons in the warehouse except for the ones on duty, and they are not allowed to act without the orders of the guards." ”
Because Ye Yu's position is limited, many key information cannot be touched at all, and in such a strange situation, he has no choice but to respond to all changes with no change.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Wu walked back with a look of resentment, and after entering the hall, he restrained his expression and said in a low voice: "The chief of the guard, the chief of the auxiliary guard, Guo Yu, refused to accept the order, and he led more than a dozen auxiliary guards to patrol the streets with spiritual weapons. ”
Well? Dismounted?
Ye Yu frowned and fell into deep thought, where did he have the confidence to dare to openly disobey Lingwei's orders?
"Made, don't make excuses and don't find a better one, do you need the Spiritual Department to patrol the streets?" The mud bodhisattva still had three points of fire, and he slapped the desk hard and scolded angrily.
When the ten auxiliary guards under the hall saw him angry, they immediately became murderous, as long as Ye Yu gave an order, they would go to the street to detain people.
Seeing that the morale was available, Ye Yu decided to give Guo Yu some color to see.
"You take someone to ask Chief Guo to return to the station." He gave an order to Jiang Wu solemnly, and his words were very heavy.
"Yes!"
Jiang Wu clenched his fists and received the order, and ordered Benwu Fuwei to leave the court with a solemn face.
Seeing him go out, Ye Yu looked at Huang Li under the hall and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you take the three elder brothers to assist Jiang Wu." ”
The old pawn Huang Li grinned, hugged his fists in response, and led the other three old pawns out of the court.
When they all went out, Ye Yu's demeanor relaxed, and he lay down in his position without any image.
He looked at Yu Deshui, who was also relaxed, and said lazily: "Uncle Yu, why do I feel that something is wrong!" ”
Pulling out the cigarette stick, Yu Deshui took a puff of dry cigarettes, and said, "Brother Yu, if you think something is wrong, you're right!" ”
After taking two puffs of his cigarette, he smoothed his thoughts and said, "The abrupt battle between the two beasts on the road, the bizarre tide of small beasts outside the city, and the appearance of the king beast.
This rare thing has been staged in turn in the past two days, and I am afraid that there is some unknown reason for it. ”
Listening to his summary, Ye Yu sat up straight, and he was living this incident in his mind.
Looking up at him, Yu Deshui paused, and when he saw that he had almost digested it, he continued: "Then there is Jinyiwei, it is said that they will not come to the stronghold here, but yesterday they appeared in the stronghold.
And the previous Lingwei and Jinyiwei came together, not only consumed all the money and food, but also died in a foreign land.
Even the battalion of the dead soldiers, who have no quarrel with the world, seems to be active, and there are some moves if they want to come to the garrison.
In addition, according to Fang Wu, who is in charge of government affairs in the station, many people have recently come to the Jiayu base. ”
He summarized the recent movements of the stronghold, and then asked solemnly, "Then what is the purpose of the Jinyi Guard?" Why did Wang Lingwei follow Jinyiwei? Where is the money spent?
What are the dead soldiers' battalions and garrisons plotting? Who came to Jiayu stronghold suddenly? What are they here for? ”
"Huh!"
Ye Yu was stunned by his repeated questions, and he stared blankly at the desktop and fell into deep thought.
He pondered for a long time, as if he had grasped something core in his mind, but it seemed that he had not grasped anything.
He felt that there must be some connection between these people and things, but when he thought about it, it seemed to have nothing to do with it at all.
