Chapter 11: Substitute for the Dead
Because of the death of the first doctor, Yancheng has entered a state of emergency at this moment, and it is not allowed to move around casually at night, so there is no special reason to stay at home.
On weekdays, there is no curfew in Yancheng, and there are even shops that are open all night long. Some shops with good business work three shifts from 12 hours a day to night. Naturally, there are also some special shops, which are only open at night and not during the day, and the business is quite good.
Although there was a sudden curfew today and the city gates were closed, most of the people in the city could understand it. Needless to say, the locals are already vested interests in Yancheng, and they share the same hatred as Jiang Hua, and they are all thinking about how to kill the enemy at this time. As for the merchants, they did not dare to say anything.
In the east of the city, this is a shop that sells and repairs armor, and it is a typical small business. The old shopkeeper himself was lame and had a knife wound on his face, which made him have a story at first glance, and it is said that he had also been on the battlefield and cut down goblins. Ten years ago, I came to Yancheng and rented a small workshop to start repairing armor, and three years ago, I used the money I earned to buy the store in front of me.
When there was no business, the old shopkeeper often sat on the second floor and looked east, and the others guessed that the old shopkeeper might be missing his dead wife and children after a long time.
The old shopkeeper slowly closed the door, came to the basement, and finally found a talisman in a large box, and threw it into the brazier, when the talisman burned, the old shopkeeper seemed to be muttering something, but the smoke and fire covered his face, and he didn't know what he was talking about for a while.
Above the sky, the Changkong Daoist frowned and waved his sleeves, and a ray of light emanated from the big sleeves, directly intercepting the news sent by the old shopkeeper.
"There are so many shadows, I have also been to many countries, the relationship between Taoists and nobles in each country is different, and some of the superficial peace is not maintained, every day you cheat me and I harm you. Some remain superficially peaceful, while others are completely integrated. ”
"However, like Chaoguo, it is the first time that so many shadows have been arranged, and it is really a long insight." The strong man in the pants shook his head again and again, but his interest in Yancheng was indeed stronger.
"This method of transmitting information feels like a hundred years ago, when the communication talisman could only convey simple words. At that time, the talismans were all counted by words, and the more words were transmitted, the more expensive the price, and the cost performance was too low. ”
"In the last hundred years, the communication talisman has been updated several times, and now the most advanced can even transmit projections. As for encryption, this is also a concept that only emerged thirty years ago, and this information is not encrypted, and the mental power can be directly deciphered, which is too backward. The white-haired Taoist shook his head directly.
"Let's catch a batch first, I have an impression of some of these spies." The people of Changkong Dao said with an unhappy face.
"This one is from the east of the city, repairing armor, and the craftsmanship is said to be okay, and it usually looks normal, but it turned out to be a spy."
"Maybe his leg was crippled by the nobles, and his son or wife and daughter may have been controlled by the nobles long ago. Those nobles may not be able to expand their territory, but they are the best at controlling people by playing tricks. The strong man said disappreciably.
"This family is from the south of the city, and their family has been around for forty years, what are you trying to do?"
"Forty years? It may be that the nobles promised to give him or his son a bloodline afterwards and become a countryman. Although the Taoists have been working hard all these years, it is still the princes and nobles who are in charge. If you ask the people at the bottom whether they want to become Taoists or nobles, they will definitely choose nobles. ”
Just when the people of Changkong Dao were trying to catch the secret agent, a heated discussion began in the Chinese army's tent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the spies have reported that Sun Tian has moved, and this time he is taking the waterway and advancing along the underground dark river. This underground river, with its turbulent currents, sparse air, numerous reefs, and even piranhas, is very dangerous. So after discovering this dark river thirty years ago, he didn't use too many people to explore S County Wei Yan pointed to the projection, and a new dark river emerged.
The other nobles thought about plotting against Yancheng, and Yancheng also wanted to plot against other nobles early. It's normal for big guys to send secrets to each other. Therefore, seeing that the county lieutenant Yan had Sun Tian's information, the others were not too surprised, let alone asked about the source of the information.
In recent years, all kinds of heavenly and mathematical techniques have emerged one after another, and the fewer people who know the key information, the better, which is the best protection for the intelligence system.
"This is the Chao Kingdom, when it was divided here by Zhou Tianzi, the bloodline of the first king of the Chao Kingdom became a water attribute, so the nobles and people of the Chao Kingdom, after awakening the bloodline, are mostly water attributes. Even a Chinese person who has initially awakened his bloodline can breathe, walk, sit and lie down underwater. ”
"If you are a scholar with a further bloodline, you can take other people to walk normally underwater. Even if you don't use the power of the bloodline, you can do it with the help of the Dao Law. ”
"But it will drain their bloodline, and when they come ashore, they will be weaker. Moreover, the prohibition of the entire Dashiguan has been activated, and no matter what method they use to advance, there are only a few places to go ashore. ”
"This location is a forest, we can let the wood attribute warlock go to arrange the battlefield as soon as possible, and when the time comes, the soldiers on our side will be blessed by the forest one by one, full of vitality, and if necessary, they can even turn serious injuries into minor injuries, and we can control the casualties to less than fifty people, which is still taking into account Sun Tian's personal strength." If he doesn't burn his blood, he will be able to win with a maximum of thirty dead and wounded! ”
"Can you think that Sun Tian can't? Don't underestimate your opponent, I think Sun Tian will choose to go ashore here, this is a rocky beach, full of stones, it is difficult to ambush. ”
"No, no, no, I think he should come ashore here, you don't just think about fighting, you have to think about the current situation. For Sun Tian, it is naturally good to be able to break through the Dashiguan, even if he can't break it, it doesn't matter. Therefore, we shouldn't think from the perspective that Sun Tian must break through the Dashiguan, what if this kid fights to win the battle and eliminate the enemy, and kills the mind of eliminating internal troubles? ”
It is also a choice to lose the last game, kill some people, let them scare and scare the rest of the concubines with blood, and then let the concubines calm down and regain control of this army!
Jiang Hua coughed, and everyone immediately quieted down: "If you consider the situation, will Sun Tian have no way out?" ”
"Yancheng actually doesn't penetrate deep enough into the surroundings, even so, it can bury a shadow in Sun Tian's subordinates, so what about the other nobles?"
"You say, at this moment, other nobles, do you want to have a substitute for the dead ghost in front of them to test the reality of Dashiguan?"
