Chapter 351: Probe
Ao Yu smiled at this time and continued to ask Zhou Sidao: "It turns out that you are the nephew of the head of the Zhou family, so do you know what kind of pill I fed you just now?"
Zhou Si still didn't make any sound, and Ao Yu didn't get angry and said to himself: "This is the pill that our family master specially refined for you spiritual level monks, and there must be an antidote every month after taking it, otherwise, you must have seen a monk who was bitten to death by mosquitoes in the swamp for such a long time, and the whole body was swollen into a ball, and then everything in it will turn into pus, and after this ball bursts, you will die." ”
After listening to Ao Yu's description, the captured monks around him all shuddered, and Zhou Si only hesitated a few times in his eyes, but still didn't make any sound, Ao Yu knew that it was not so easy to subdue a spirit level monk, so he stopped talking and slowly walked out of the ranks of these captured monks.
At this moment, there was another noise in the mine, and after half a cup of tea, the monks led by Shi Bin appeared near the entrance of the cave, with a group of ragged monks behind them, until these people completely walked out of the cave, and Shi Bin walked out with three or four cleanly dressed monks.
Ao Yu nodded slightly, these ragged monks in front of him are from the point of view of cultivation, the most are the upper level of the Xuan Scholars, and the lowest is the innate realm, these should be the miners hijacked by the Zhou family from the outside, and the three or four monks escorted by Shi Bin in the last place are all monks of the upper level of the Xuan Scholars, and they should be the supervisors who stay in the mine.
When the monks were escorted out, their eyes showed intense uneasiness. They didn't know who the monks led by Ao Yu were, and what kind of treatment they would face in the future, so Ao Yu walked to Shi Bin's side and asked, "How is the situation in the mine?
Shi Bin nodded and said, "Enter a passage after entering the cave." When I got to the belly of the mountain, I just opened one more mine, and there were no dead ends in the two mines, and all the people were in it, and I was arrested after I went in, what should we do now?"
Ao Yu thought for a moment and said, "You and Gao Meng will first escort these people back to the residence on the hillside, to ensure that no one can let him escape, and there are also five Xuanshi monks near the entrance of the cave who are on duty here." lest any missing monk sneak out of it. ”
"There are also caves in and out of here, we also have to send patrolling monks like the Zhou family, and we can't let the idle monks outside easily enter the swamp. As for how to start the construction of the mine in the future, I will send someone to report the situation here to Brother Qin now, and see how he decides. ”
After speaking, Ao Yu called a more clever Xuanshi monk and asked him to follow the way he came to go outside to find Qin Wen. Then tell Qin Wen about the situation here. Look at how he arranged these monks in the mine, and after the Xuanshi monk who reported the news left, Ao Yu arranged according to what he had just said.
In the cave outside, he did not send monks to guard it, but arranged a team of monks at the entrance of the cave that entered the swamp, so that even if it was a spiritual monk who broke into the entrance of the cave, there was no danger of being broken into, and the patrolling monks inside were still divided into four teams. They are also all high-level monks in a group of five.
Then five more monks were left at the mouth of the mine, and the rest were taken back to their dwellings on the hillside with their captives. While interrogating these captives, he waited for news from Qin Wen's side.
At this time, Qin Wen and the soldiers in the military camp had already entered the mountains and forests, and there were soldiers in front of them along the way, they basically did not encounter any idle monks, and one day they were about to enter the range of the Zhou family's power, and at night, Zhao Wu deliberately let all the soldiers rest for the night.
In the middle of the night, two monks on night duty entered Qin Wen's tent with a Xuanshi monk, and said, "Qin family master, just now we found a person wandering around the camp, he said that it was from your house, so I brought him over, do you know him?"
Qin Wen looked at the Xuanshi monk in the light, he hadn't seen it, and couldn't help frowning slightly, then the Xuanshi monk hurriedly spoke: "Master Qin, I was sent by the arrogant steward to report to you." ”
Qin Wen understood that it was the monk that Ao Yu brought to the mine, so he nodded and said: "This person is indeed a monk in my mansion, thank you two brothers for bringing people over, this is a spirit stone, the two brothers took it to buy a glass of wine to drink." As he spoke, he took out a high-grade spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to the two soldiers.
The two soldiers often heard that Qin Wen was generous in the barracks, and now when they saw it, it was really the same as the rumors, so they hurriedly took the spirit stone, and happily left Qin Wen's tent, and the soldiers who walked behind also diligently put down the cloth door that the tent opened.
Only Qin Wen and the monks who came to deliver the letter were left in the tent, and Qin Wen first said at this time: "They are all soldiers in the military camp here, when you speak, don't bring the words "mine or ore", so as not to make people suspicious." ”
The Xuanshi monk nodded slightly and said: "Yes, Qin Ye, let me tell you that everything is going well, one spirit level monk and three Xuanshi monks have been captured over there, and there are dozens of Xuanshi monks, and all the other places that can hide the monks have been guarded by the arrogant steward, and during the entire attack, not a single monk escaped." ”
"Now the arrogant steward and the captives are living in the original residence on the hillside, and the work on the mountain has also stopped, the arrogant steward asked me to ask Qin Ye to see what to do with these monks?"
Qin Wen casually poured tea from a teacup on the table and handed it to the Xuanshi monk, the Xuanshi monk took it respectfully, because he had been flying in the mountains and forests for nearly a day, he picked up the teacup and drank it, Qin Wen was in a state of thought at this time, and the mine was successfully taken down This was also Qin Wen's expectation.
However, Qin Wen had not been to the mine in person, and he couldn't judge the current situation just based on the monk's words, but now in the barracks, it was not easy to ask too much detail, so he said: "You go back and let Ao Yu take care of the place, and the prisoner interrogates it, my side should be able to arrive at the Zhou family manor tomorrow night, and after dealing with the affairs here, I will go there in person, and then discuss the future matters." ”
The monk put the teacup on the table, bowed down and agreed, and then quietly withdrew from the tent, Qin Wen nodded slightly, took the mine, and his operation was half successful, and then it depends on the effect of attacking the Zhou family's manor, although he and Zhao Wu's plan was very thorough, but before the last moment, Qin Wen was still afraid that the matter of the mine would leak out, and if he didn't get it right, he would become the target of all the families in the expulsion city.
Qin Wen fell into contemplation at this time, and began to sort out every detail of this operation from the beginning, striving to find the loopholes in it before starting it, and repair it, so as not to cause irreparable losses due to carelessness at that time.
It wasn't until the sky was bright that Qin Wen, who hadn't slept all night, slowly stood up, and when he saw that most of the soldiers were tidying up their tents and preparing to leave, he took a little pill to replenish his vitality, and then walked to Zhao Wu, who was inspecting the camp, and let the soldiers behind him dismantle their tents.
After another day of walking, at dusk, Qin Wen had already seen the smoke coming from the Zhou family in front of him from a distance, Zhao Wu waved his hand to let the soldiers rest on the spot, and then he and Qin Wen walked to a nearby hillside, from here to look down, the front door of the Zhao family's manor can be seen at a glance.
Seeing that the monks in the manor did not have the slightest nervousness, Zhao Wu nodded slightly and said: "It seems that the Zhou family has not discovered anything about our operation, and the scope of this manor is similar to what you provided, I am going to carry out a sneak attack at night, what does the Qin family master think?"
Qin Wen nodded and said: "The evening is the best, according to the investigation of the monks in my house, the Zhou family is very vigilant about the idle monks outside, within the scope of his control, there are no idle monks appearing, so it is also very beneficial to our attack, lest there be other mountain and forest monks sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, waiting for the benefit of the fisherman." ”
The two of them took a turn on the hillside again, looked at the situation in the manor in other directions, and after finding nothing abnormal, Qin Wen and Zhao Wu went back to the place where the soldiers were resting, and as soon as they entered the tent, a soldier came in and reported: "Commander, there is a monk outside who claims to be Lu Mo who has come to find the Qin family master." ”
Zhao Wu hurriedly spoke: "Please come to the tent by Steward Lu, the head of the Qin family happens to be here." The soldier nodded in agreement and exited the tent.
After Lu Mo walked in, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Qin Wen smiling and bowing his head to him, and immediately understood in his heart, it should be that Ao Yu's side had already taken the mineral deposits, so he bowed down and saluted Qin Wen, and then said to Zhao Wu: "Commander Zhao, I came this time to discuss with the head of the family about attacking the Zhou family, I don't know when the commander of the Dao is going to attack the Zhao family's manor?"
Zhao Wu nodded and said: "I have already discussed with the Qin family master just now, and I will launch an attack tonight, originally I also wanted the soldiers to call you over to discuss the cooperation between the two of us, but it just so happens that you are here now, let's discuss it before and after this attack, and see if there are any omissions." ”
The three of them were in the tent to calculate the last attack on the map, and it was not until late at night, after calculating all the attack plans, that Zhao Wucai nodded and asked the soldiers on duty outside, "What time is it?"
The soldier replied, "It's late at night." ”
Zhao Wu and Qin Wen nodded and signaled, and then the three of them walked out of the tent, and Zhao Wu said to the herald in a deep voice: "Assemble, prepare for action." (To be continued......)
