Chapter 145: Mysterious Woman
Xu Dong was so surprised that his face was pale, and he looked at the stone slabs under his feet in a daze, as if those divine sand had been drilled into the stone slabs.
"Search for me!" he ordered frantically, "even if you dig three feet into the earth, you must find out those divine sands for me!"
When Xu Dong suspected that it was the "rebel army" that launched a surprise attack on Dazhou City, someone knew that the abandoned royal capital was no longer safe, so he opened the underground treasure house and took the Shensha away.
The reason for his analysis was that there was a panic here, and the person who took the divine sand was obviously in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to close the basement door.
Even so, the man who took the divine sand should not have gone far, at least it was impossible to leave the city, because he could not break through the encirclement of the iron barrel of the "rebel army".
Xu Dong expected that this person would either hide somewhere with Shensha, or disguise himself and mix in the soldiers, or hide Shensha somewhere, and want to take it out after the rebel army withdrew.
In any case, one thing is certain, the person who took the divine sand is not an ordinary person, at least a certain leader of the Renaissance Army.
Because, only the leader-level person has the key to the underground treasure house, and he is also qualified to enter the underground treasure house, and the soldiers of the Renaissance Army who guard the treasure house let him enter the treasure house.
With such an analysis, Xu Dong decided to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Shensha at two ends, one was to order the soldiers to search all over the city, which is what he said before, "Even if you dig three feet of earth, you must also find out Shensha for me!"
On the other hand, the captives were gathered for interrogation and useful information was extracted from the Baath soldiers.
Xu Dong handed over the matter of "digging three feet into the earth" to one of his leaders, and prepared to personally interrogate the prisoners of war of the Renaissance Army.
More than 1,000 captives were escorted to the Tibetan Soldier Cave, and Xu Dong found that the existing captives had the word "Yong" written on their battle robes, some with the word "Wei", and some with the word "Patrol".
Obviously, the word "brave" is written on the soldiers, the full-time patrol of the city with the word "patrol" is written, and the important places are guarded by the word "guard".
He called aside the word "Wei" and focused on interrogating this group of people, but fortunately there were not many of them, only about 30 people in total.
The guards of the underground treasure trove are undoubtedly among the thirty or so people.
The thirty or so people stood in a circle against the stone wall of the Hidden Soldier Cave, and Xu Dong paced in a circle in front of these people with a whip in his hand, staring at each face majestically.
Although Xu Dong has never interrogated people, his brain is not bad, and the reason why he walked around in front of these people without opening his mouth was to cause psychological pressure on these people first.
He can only tell the truth when he completely overwhelms these people in momentum, and when they are questioned.
When these people were first called into the cave, they had a stiff and indifferent look on their faces, and then slowly lowered their heads, as if they had been hit by frost.
Xu Dong thought that it was time to take out the seven-star sword he was wearing, and thrust it into the ground, half of the sword body ** into the stone slab.
"Who are you guarding the underground treasury?"
Those people were originally a rabble, and many of them were the remnants of the defeated soldiers left behind by other conquered countries, and they were forced to join the Da Viet Naw Army to eat as soldiers, so where would they be loyal to the Renaissance Army?
Even those real remnants of the Dayue royal family are just guarding the dignity of that royal bloodline, who believes that they can really restore the country?
Therefore, once their lives are threatened, they quickly give up this unstable hold and think about saving their heads.
"Stand up for me who guards the underground treasure vault!"
Xu Dong shook the whip in his hand, and the bodies of those people also trembled, and more than a dozen people looked at Xu Dong and took a step forward tremblingly.
"Who did you say, who took the sand from the underground treasury?"
The dozen or so people looked at each other, and finally one of them opened their mouths to reply, this person was short, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and at first glance he looked like he had never eaten a full meal.
"Report ...... Report to the Judge, yes...... Is it a woman to take ...... Taken!"
Xu Dong hurriedly asked, "Let's be clear, what kind of woman is she?"
"A young and beautiful girl, she holds a waist card covered with a fire charm, I should be on duty in the underground treasure house tonight, I have received an order, see this kind of waist card covered with a fire charm and put it into the ......"
This man stammered before, but now he is ripe, like a joke in his heart, and what he confesses can basically be believed.
As he spoke, the little man took out a waist card from his pocket, "The head above is afraid that I will recognize the wrong person, so he will show me this waist card for comparison, and I will need to verify that the waist card is exactly the same as this one before I can release it!"
Xu Dong took the waist card and saw that this waist card was carved from a whole piece of jade, and there was indeed an oblong fire sigil on it.
It's just that he never imagined that such a mysterious woman would appear, and she would take away the things in the underground treasure house of Da Yue.
Before this expedition to the desert, he had a more detailed understanding of the situation of the Da Yue Revival Army, and the three leaders of the revival army, the first and second deputies, were all men, and they boasted that they took the revival of Da Yue as their own responsibility and would not have a family and an heir for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, there is not a single girl in the entire revival army, and the soldiers and generals who participate in the revival army are not allowed to bring their mother-in-law's family with them.
In other words, this is a purely masculine army, and women have nothing to do with this army, how can there be a young woman involved in it all of a sudden?
Xu Dong asked, "How did that woman take the contents of the treasure house alone, isn't there still so many dark crossbows?"
The little man replied, "I don't know at all, because I can't go inside." ”
Xu Dong believed the little man's words, "Then when did she get out of the basement, and in what direction did she go after she came out?"
The little man touched his thin neck, as if it was too thin for the words to be said were blocked in it.
Xu Dong expected that the words that were infarcted in his neck were particularly golden, and he hurriedly urged the little man to answer.
"Tell me, when did she get out of the basement, and in what direction did she go?"
The little man's face was black, and his eyes were a little flickering, as if he had just woken up from a dozing off.
"I didn't see her...... Come out, she hasn't come out yet......! Isn't it in there?"
Xu Dong was stunned for a moment, the woman still hasn't come out yet? Is she still hiding in the stone crevice? He has even checked every stone crevice in the basement, but there is not even a single cockroach in it.
He shook the whip in his hand, and the whip made a crisp sound, and the little man's body trembled involuntarily.
"Don't you want to tell the truth or what?"
The little man hurriedly said, "Official, I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe it, you can ask him, he, he, the three of them are on duty with me tonight to guard the underground treasure house......"
Xu Dong interrogated the three people pointed at the little man, and the three people hurriedly came out to confirm that the little man was indeed not lying, and the woman had not come out of the basement.
