Thirty-seven
Xiao Bei put down the thousands of miles of bundle of fairy ropes, and suddenly found a small cylinder with a ring on one side, which could be put on his fingers, picked it up immediately, and asked Lu Guan Zhong: "Guan Zhong, what kind of treasure is this?"
Lu Guanzhong's face changed, he hurriedly flashed, hid behind Liu Minshi and said, "Master...... Can you not aim it at others? This is the fire silkworm soul chasing silk. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info This small tube is filled with fire silk, as long as it is worn on the hand, press the motive when using, which will shoot fire silk, the range can reach 50 meters, and pierce the human body without feeling. After that, whether you want to put drugs or poison into other people's bodies is up to you. Of course, if you want to corona someone else, you can also use an electric current. ”
Xiao Bei sighed, put it on his finger, and then put the seven-fold acacia ball, the Ten Thousand Souls Separation Banner Cover, and the Thousand Miles of Bundle Immortal Rope into his arms one by one, and carried it with him, just in case.
Hong Yan and Liu Minshi also took what they needed and were fully equipped. Afterwards, Hongyan handed over an ice diamond to Lu Guanzhong for easy contact at any time. At the same time, I asked Lu Guan Zhong to take care of Ning Zhi, Lu Guan Zhong was rarely serious, and nodded and agreed.
After everything was well prepared, Xiao Bei, Liu Minshi, and Hong Yan put on night clothes, took advantage of the night, quietly climbed down the wall of the north city, and ran towards the army tent of King Chuang.
The three of them were silent, just burying their heads and running wildly. Xiao Bei secretly observed Liu Minshi's face, and saw that her face was indifferent, and she was not as lively as usual. I intended to step forward to comfort me, but I didn't know where to start, so I could only continue to be silent.
The three of them were all fast, and they ran to the vicinity of the king's tent in a short time. Ordered by the sound of the wild goose, the three of them gathered in the shadows. Immediately, Hongyan launched the manifestation of the spirit, hid the sound of the three figures, and quietly blended into the barracks.
Xiao Bei's ears fluttered, listening to the signals around him, only to feel that the entire military camp was unusually quiet, and there was not even a trace of human voice. According to common sense, this huge military camp, hundreds of thousands of people, no matter how good the discipline is, it is inevitable that there will be the sound of defecation and walking, not to mention the fact that there are war horses, cattle and sheep?
Xiao Bei stared in his ears, listened carefully, and finally found that the sound of breathing came from the first military camp on the right. So he made a gesture to Hongliu and the others, and walked slowly towards the military tent.
The three of them walked to the front of the tent, Xiao Bei quietly opened a crack in the tent door, and at a glance, he was taken aback, only to see that the tent was full of people. Xiao Bei thought to himself: "Look at their clothes, there is no doubt that they should be soldiers of the intruding army, but how can they be as skinny as firewood, with protruding cheekbones, straight like skeletons." Fortunately, these people are breathing, and they should not be corpses. ”
Xiao Bei put down the tent door, and then probed several camp tents, and found that all the camp tents were full of emaciated soldiers. I couldn't help but feel strange: "These soldiers of King Chuang are so weak, in stark contrast to the corpses before, if their subordinates are all with such combat effectiveness, how can they compete with the imperial court for a long time?"
While thinking about it, Hong Yan suddenly said softly: "Master, that is the main tent of the army." As he spoke, he pointed to a huge tent in the distance.
Xiao Bei heard a faint signal coming from there, so he walked towards the main tent. As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the tent, they heard a majestic voice say: "Another week has passed, why have you still not been able to conquer Hanzhong?
A calm voice replied: "King Chuang, don't be impatient, according to my eyeliner message in Hanzhong, this siege has achieved remarkable results, if it is not for the help of external forces, I am afraid that the city gate will be breached." ”
"It's Gao Yingxiang!" Xiao Bei's heart sank.
"External forces, could it be that the imperial court sent troops to help?" asked King Chuang.
It is said that he is a person from the rivers and lakes, but Sun Chuanting keeps this matter very secret, and may need to be inquired more. The calm voice replied.
"But...... We have lost 70,000 men so far, and the soldiers have seen that the death squads have not returned so far, and there are many rumors, but I am afraid that we will not be able to recruit any more manpower. King Chuang said worriedly.
"Please rest assured that King Chuang, now the death squad is enthusiastic, they all want to eat that special rice, and tomorrow there will be 20,000 people in battle to attack the city, and they must be able to make achievements." The other continued.
"Well, as you say. King Chuang let out a long sigh, followed by the sound of footsteps, and a tall man opened the door and walked out, walking with an extraordinary bearing. He was followed closely by two people, one of whom wore a mask of a owl's head and a black robe, looking capable and powerful, while the other was dressed as a scholar and was elegant and weak.
Xiao Bei followed the three of them and found Gao Yingxiang walking into a heavily guarded camp, after which the man with the face and the scholar turned around and left.
Xiao Bei saw that King Chuang seemed to have rested, so he made a gesture and motioned for Hongliu and Liu to continue looking for the powder magazine. Who knew that Xiao Cheap and the other three just wanted to move, but the scholar suddenly looked in the direction of Xiao Cheap and said, "Who is it?"
Xiao Xiao and the three of them were all taken aback, and immediately stopped and held their breath.
The scholar and the man with the face stared at Xiao Bei for a moment, but did not notice anything unusual, and then relaxed, and the man with the face sighed: "Yue Ming, you have been too nervous these days, and you have reached the point where all the grass and trees are soldiers. You used to be confident in everything you did, but now you seem to be a different person?"
The scholar smiled bitterly and said, "You have always been King Chuang's personal guard, but you have never seen those daredevils who ate special rice. Believe me, if you see what happens to those people, you'll be as suspicious as I am. ”
The man was silent for a moment and said, "What will happen to them in the end?"
The scholar shook his head, his eyes showed fear, and said, "Within seven days, they will turn into monsters who only know how to eat, and have no humanity. If you don't eat human flesh after seven days, your whole body will swell and die. ”
The man suddenly became excited, grabbed the scholar's arm, gritted his teeth, and said, "No wonder you only send death squads to attack the city every time, are you afraid that once the rest of the soldiers witness this tragic situation, no one will join the death squads again?" Do you know that such actions have lost their humanity?"
The scholar broke away from the man and shouted, "What's the matter? You are a killer, as long as you kill the enemy." And I, I have to worry about food, recruit soldiers, and give advice to King Chuang. Even your martial soul body needs my help, do you know how much weight the burden is on my shoulders?"
The man stared at the scholar, and after a moment, he said, "But you are from the Zhuge family. Do you remember the family motto?"
"Remember, when you drive for the righteousness, don't sacrifice the common people. The scholar calmed down and said lightly.
"I thought you only remembered the first half of the sentence. The man threw down the words and turned to leave.
The scholar looked at the distant figure of the man with a face of the owl, his body trembled in the cold wind, and muttered: "Yue Ren, what you said is easy, but do you know that if you don't sacrifice your life, you can't achieve righteousness?" After speaking, he turned his head and walked away from the man with a face.
Xiao Xiao and the three waited for the two of them to walk away, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. Identify the road and look in the direction of the powder magazine.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
On the hillside in the distance, Yu Ji's face was like frost, staring at the top of the mountain, quietly looking at the scene in the tent of the barracks, her blood-red sleeves hunting and dancing in the wind. After a long time, Yu Ji suddenly opened her mouth and sang in an ethereal voice: "The former Overlord Tomb, when will the soul return home." The passing years are empty, and the drooping hair is gradually coiled. Fang Cunfang's heart is covered with dust, his blood is cold, and he remembers his lover in his dreams.
It's hard to sleep when it's empty, and you come to warm your heart.
The waning moon is clear, the wind is howling, and there are few people. Lonely and empty, who appreciates the desolate scene? Confidants drink together, play and sing on the piano, it is like a dream. After waking up from the wine, tears wet the Qiluo yarn. ”
"Good words, good words, I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still beautiful. Shi Benkong suddenly appeared behind Yu Ji, applauding and laughing.
Yu Ji turned around and said, "The concubine greets the palace master." ”
Shi Benkong waved his hand and said, "What palace master, now I am just your comrade, working together for the return of the Sword Xiao Palace." ”
Yu Ji smiled lightly: "Having said that, but since you are the only one who has the remnant soul of the palace master, it is not wrong for me to call you like this." ”
Shi Benkong sighed and said, "It was also my carelessness, where did I think that I would meet the Yan Emperor himself on that occasion? At that time, almost all of my true spirits were in the Sword Xiao Palace, and the Yan Emperor suddenly attacked, and I was sealed together with the Sword Xiao Palace without preparation. Fortunately, there was still a remnant soul left in this person's body before, otherwise I am afraid that I would really have to drift outside the Three Realms forever. ”
Yu Ji's eyes flickered, and she didn't speak, her eyes were fixed on Shi Benkong.
Shi Benkong suddenly touched his bald head and said, "Ah, by the way, my martial arts are not very high now, and Dayi is not by my side." If you want to take my life, I'm afraid it's really a bit of trouble. At that time, this remnant soul will also disappear without a trace, it is really a careless move, and the whole game is lost. ”
A bright smile appeared on Yu Ji's face, and she said, "The palace master is really joking, how can a concubine have such a mind?" It's just that you promised me before that once the Jianxiao Palace reappeared in the world, you would let me and Zhang Zhinan be free, but really?"
"It's nature. Shi Benkong said seriously.
