When Liang En and the others hurriedly returned to the county seat, it was already night, but fortunately, Jinyiwei itself had the privilege of being able to enter the city at any time, so there was no difference between them entering the city and peacetime.

After coming to the back door of the county government and showing the token they carried, Liang En and Tian Zongqi were taken to the back hall of the county government by a silent old man, and then the county order wearing a Taoist robe appeared in front of them.

"Why are all the bad things piling up now?" After listening to Liang En's analysis, Zhang Xianling did not show any surprise, but sighed.

"County Zun, what happened?" After realizing that the situation was wrong, Tian Zongqi stepped forward and asked.

"Look at it, and Liang Gongzi, this matter has something to do with you, and it's not a secret, so you can also take a look, but don't say it."

The document handed over by Zhang Xianling was a flash report, with only a few lines on it, but the content in it made Liang En's eyes widen.

Because there is only one content in this bulletin, that is, the prisoner on the previous pirate ship sank during transit, and the prisoner drowned because of the handcuffed scraps.

"It can't be." Tian Zongqi shook his head after reading the note, "Not to mention that the Jinyi Guard in charge of escorting will make preparations in advance, it is not normal to drown in a calm canal, especially if those two captives are still pirates." ”

"yes, that's why I said I'm in trouble now." After sitting on the chair, Zhang Xianling sighed, then walked to the edge of the cabinet, flipped through the documents in the cabinet, and took out some of them and put them on the table.

These documents all have information about the canonization of gods in the county, and after a simple inspection, the three of them determined that the number of gods replaced in the county from last year to this year has indeed increased a lot-

Due to the flat terrain of this county, most of the land has been reclaimed as farmland, so there are not many demons and monsters except for a few passing by, so the local gods are relatively stable under normal circumstances.

But this year, inexplicably, the mountain god of a small mountain has been replaced, and the reason is that the previous mountain god had problems in his cultivation, so he had to be replaced.

"Shhhh

You must know that it is not common for practitioners to die due to a mistake in their practice, and it is obviously not a coincidence that two gods with similar identities have problems for the same reason in a row.

New discoveries allowed them to broaden their search, and over time, more and more pieces of information were picked out and put together. Eventually, a map appeared in front of the eyes of the three people.

This map depicts a hundred miles around Yuanhe County, but unlike the original map, there are now many small red dots on the map.

The little red dots represented the gods that had been replaced, and when they connected all the red dots together, they found a large net slowly spreading out before their eyes.

Before, they just thought that it was not normal for the gods to change too much, but after marking them on the map like now, they found that the locations of the replaced gods were not randomly distributed:

Almost all of the deities that have been replaced are located near important roads, water sources, or supreme points, and when these points are connected, a network is revealed that envelops almost the entire Yangtze River estuary.

Compared to this land, the network of replaced gods can be said to be very sparse, but it can envelop the entire area, collect information about the entire area, and even open or block a certain passage at a critical moment.

And the reason why everyone didn't realize that the situation was wrong before was because these gods were just some small gods in remote places, and no one would pay too much attention to their changes.

It wasn't until now, after summarizing the information that had been ignored before, that Liang En and the others realized that someone was consciously replacing those gods.

"War, a big war is coming." Looking at the network of replaced gods on the map, Tian Zongqi, as a soldier, was the first to react.

Although he was only a low-level officer, as an elite who came out of Yulin Weizhong, Tian Twenty-one was much higher than those low-level officers in terms of overall vision and strategic vision.

"And the enemy is likely to come from the sea, as for the pirate ship captured two days ago, it is likely that it is the enemy's forward reconnaissance force." Looking at the big net laid out for the core of the Yangtze River Estuary, Liang En continued.

He realized that something was wrong with the pirate ship two days ago, that the pirates who could sail long distances were veterans, and it was unlikely that they would stupidly run into a dead end like a river, especially when their own ships had an advantage in speed.

"The attack on the mountain ghosts before should also be the work of this group of people." Zhang Xianling finally said.

"The mountain ghosts are the top archers and the children of the jungle, and what the other party did before is likely to mobilize the mountain ghosts and even find an opportunity to destroy them and avoid their own rear from being attacked."

"From this point of view, the enemy who is about to attack should also be a regular army, because ordinary pirates go wherever they go, and they don't need to prepare much supplies, let alone supply routes."

But after all the information was summed up, the room fell silent for a moment, as they realized that the situation was far beyond what they could solve.

"If I had given me ten days, I should be able to find a way to get some medicine and bandaging." Liang En spoke, breaking the somewhat terrifying silence in the room.

"I've also mastered some of the art of Qihuang. Although it can't be compared with the methods of the real Langzhong, he is better at dealing with large-scale injuries when there are enough people to help. ”

"I can't do anything else, after all, I'm just a maritime merchant, and that's the limit of what I can do."

"That's already good, Mr. Liang." Tian Zongqi smiled and patted Liang En's shoulder. "It's not like me, and there's no other way than to take my squad on the battlefield and fight with a knife."

"Shouldn't you report our current situation through the Jinyi Guard?" Zhang Xianling asked a little puzzled. "As far as I know, Jinyiwei should have a way to report directly to the political affairs hall."

"But that's a right that only 100 households have and more, and I can only report it to my superiors." Tian Zongqi shook his head. "But on the ship that sent the prisoners before, there was another Jinyi Wei General Banner, and a Baihu Directly Affiliated General Banner."

"I see." Zhang Xianling nodded, since the other party is suspicious, then it is normal for this matter to be kept secret from the other party now.

The room fell silent again, only the expression on Zhang Xianling's face kept changing back and forth, until more than a minute later, he seemed to have figured out something, and his face changed from tangled to firm.

"It seems that I can only report it with the urgent method of the Yintai Division, I hope that our guess is wrong, and I also hope that if our guess is true, the political affairs hall can come up with a way to solve the problem we are facing as soon as possible."
