Chapter 132: Wang Sheng
Hearing the officers and soldiers below shouting that a large number of gold and silver treasures had been found, Wu Ming was still a little incredulous, and he didn't expect that what Lao Hu Tu said this time turned out to be true.
"What the old fox Tu said is true! He really hid gold and silver treasures here!"
Ying Ning looked at the hall below, lowered his voice and said, "There are only a dozen or so soldiers, do you want to rush down and grab things?"
Wu Ming shook his head and denied: "There are still hundreds of people outside the temple, there are plains all around here, and we can't outrun the horses." Don't rush, take a look at the situation first. ”
A moment later, there was a commotion at the entrance of the temple, and several soldiers in bright armor walked into the main hall surrounded a tall general.
The general is tall, with good facial features, two sword eyebrows that are not angry and arrogant, and he is quite heroic.
The soldiers in the palace immediately stepped forward and said, "General Wang, two chests have been found in the secret cave under the statue of the judge, one of which contains hundreds of gold bars, and the other box contains pearl agate and some jade. ”
The general Wang frowned, looked around privately and then spoke: "Most of these were obtained by Nie Yinniang when he assassinated the officials of the imperial court, and all of them were moved out and brought back to the barracks. ”
"Yes!"
The soldier answered, and a group of people began to move around the hole.
Captain Wu, who had led the team into the main hall before, ran to General Wang's side: "General, when we entered the main hall before, we saw two strangers, but they used a kind of smoke to obstruct our vision, and we don't know where to flee. ”
General Wang's eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked up to scan the surroundings of the main hall, and Wu Ming and Ying Ning on the eaves hurriedly lowered their figures, for fear of being seen by him.
"Those two people are probably the accomplices of Nie Yinniang, Nie Yinniang is the number one assassin in the world, and she is good at the way, and it is reasonable that these people can do demon magic. ”
"Order the troops outside, divide four ten-person patrols to patrol in four directions, and bring anyone you see strangers back to the city for interrogation!"
General Wang's arrangement was quite organized, and the adjutant on the side answered, and then ran out quickly.
A moment later, the soldiers took out two boxes from the main hall and placed them in the courtyard to open the lids.
One of them was full of golden bars, there were hundreds of them, and the other was pearls and jade, which also looked very valuable. The soldiers around had never seen so much gold, silver and jewelry, and they kept talking to each other.
Wu Ming's eyes lit up on the eaves, and Ying Ning on the side was also restless.
General Wang roughly swept through the two boxes: "These are all stolen goods, first bring them back to the barracks and hand them over to the baggage storehouse, and then deal with them together after they get the prisoners." ”
The soldiers responded in a hurry, and several people carried boxes and walked out of the main hall.
Ying Ning came to Wu Ming's side and whispered, "What should I do, the baby is going to be taken away by them!"
With Wu Ming's character of loving money, it is naturally impossible to let go of this large amount of treasure, but it is too exaggerated to fight with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers for this money.
After all, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way.
"We followed them and looked for an opportunity to steal the treasure back. Wu Ming made a decision: "These treasures were originally owned by Lao Hutu, and we must uphold justice for him." ”
Ying Ning nodded: "That's right!
The two of them wanted to steal the treasure back for Lao Hu Tu, but they didn't seem to want to rescue Lao Hu Tu.
At this time, a soldier came out of the cave below, carrying a gray-haired fox in his hand: "General, I found a fox in the depths of the cave, it was breathing, but no matter how I fiddled with it, I didn't respond." ”
General Wang glanced at the fox and immediately frowned: "Evil thing! Build a fire in the courtyard and burn it!"
The soldier received the order, and immediately lit a bonfire in the courtyard and threw the fox into it.
"It seems that this is the spare body of the old fox Tu. Wu Ming shook his head: "If his body is burned, he can only stay in the inflatable doll all the time, it's really pitiful." ”
"Yes, that's pitiful!" Ying Ning also shook his head.
The two of them sighed on the eaves, and they had no intention of jumping down to help Lao Hu Tu regain his body.
At this time, the deputy general of the army below walked to General Wang's side: "General, this time a human skin was found in the haunted place of Nie Yinniang, can it be concluded that Nie Yinniang is related to several cases of peeling and digging out of the heart in the city?"
General Wang pondered for a moment: "It's still difficult to draw a conclusion now that the evidence is insufficient, but since I have copied Nie Yinniang's stolen goods, I think she will not ignore it, and the whole army will withdraw to Jiangdu City, and from tonight onwards, I won't be able to put a single fly in!"
The surrounding soldiers responded violently, and a large crowd of people withdrew from the main hall like a tide, and after a while, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the temple, and gradually faded away.
Wu Ming and Ying Ning squatted on the eaves and glanced at each other, the two boxes of gold bars and jade pearls were really hot.
Wu Ming thought for a while: "Let's use your illusion to disguise it and go to the city to see the situation." ”
Ying Ning nodded: "Then you pretend to be a young lady and I will pretend to be a scholar." ”
Wu Mingyi grinned: "I pretend to be a scholar, you pretend to be a maid!"
"I don't pretend to be a maid!" Ying Ning rolled her eyes: "And how can there be a scholar with a maid!"
The two of them argued for a while, and Ying Ning made the final decision: "Just pretend to be a Taoist priest and a Taoist boy from Youfang, it's easier to sneak into the city." ”
Wu Ming frowned: "I don't understand those things of Taoist priests." ”
Ying Ning waved his hand: "Don't worry, I used to pretend to be a Taoist priest to deceive people, and I am familiar with that set!"
......
Jiangdu City, located in the northwest, is a small city with a population of only tens of thousands.
In order to resist the invasion of the northern border people, the city wall of Jiangdu City was built quite tall and thick, and there was a thousand-person team stationed in a corner of the city, commanded by the general surnamed Wang, who was responsible for the safety of Jiangdu City and the nearby hundreds of miles.
Wu Ming and Ying Ning pretended to be Taoist priests and Taoist boys, and followed the traces of the army to the gate of Jiangdu City.
The two of them wanted to sneak into the city, but they ate a closed door, according to General Wang's order, the four gates of Jiangdu City stepped up the investigation, and people who were not in the city were not allowed to enter at all.
Driven away from the city gate by the officers and soldiers, Wu Ming and Ying Ning could only run to a ridge on the side of the road in a daze.
"Now I can't even enter the city, what should I do?" Ying Ning, who was dressed as a Taoist child, carried a Taoist banner and asked Wu Ming with a frown.
Wu Ming glanced at the tall city wall of Jiangdu City, which was more than ten meters high: "When I climb over the wall and enter the city after dark, this wall can't stop me." ”
Just as the two of them were discussing, a woman dressed in homespun clothes came over on the side, and this woman came straight to Wu Ming with a sad look, and walked in front of Wu Ming and gave a salute.
"This Dao Master, may I ask you what you can do?"
Wu Mingleng paused, not knowing how to answer, Ying Ning on the side reacted faster: "Yes, my master is a descendant of the Heavenly Master, who can drive away ghosts and invite gods, has anyone in your family passed away, auntie?"
Before the eldest lady could speak, her eyes were already red: "It's my child...... Two days ago, I was taken out of my heart by a monster, and now the corpse is still at home, please have mercy on the long hair and do a ritual for my son!"
Wu Ming smacked his lips, these things are completely amateurs!
Ying Ning on the side spoke very quickly: "My master has a profound Taoism, and the deceased who has passed through his hands will be able to leave the sea of suffering and return to the Great Dao after death." Auntie, is your home in the city?"
The woman's face showed a hint of relief and nodded: "My house is in the east of the city, and my son's body is parked in the courtyard. ”
Wu Ming suddenly realized that Ying Ning was planning to use this as an excuse to sneak into the city, so he coughed lightly and pretended to be old-fashioned: "Then I'll take a trip, please lead the way." ”
