Chapter 14 plans to ambush the hidden soldiers and find the bones of the villagers
"Seriously, what are your plans for the future?"
When Mao An's body was buried, Wang Shijian's eyes condensed, and he looked at Mao Renfeng with some expectation. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Mao Renfeng was a little dazed, shook his head and replied, "I don't know yet." But I'm going to find out who killed my grandfather first. No matter who it is, I will not forgive him. Speaking of this, there was a lot of evil in his voice.
"Alas, if that's the case, then I'm afraid the two of us will have to go our separate ways. Wang Shixian was a little regretful and replied.
Mao Renfeng was slightly surprised, and asked, "Are you going to leave here?"
"Not really. It's just that we still have a mission assigned by the lord, so I'm afraid we won't be able to act with you. Wang Shijian said as he untied his military clothes and brands with his comrades-in-arms, but after changing a set of linen clothes and wiping the soil on his body, he became a farmer looking for him.
As for the guns on their bodies, they were also taken off and rolled up with their uniforms and signs, ready to be hidden.
Mao Renfeng looked puzzled, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Disguise. In this way, others will not find out who we are. Wang Xing immediately became serious, "Of course, you must not tell others about this matter, do you know?" Until now, their affairs are not known to the person in front of them, and even the Maoguan Village does not know.
"We're friends, and of course I'll help you hide it. "After Mao Renfeng became famous, he knew what the way of loyalty and righteousness was, so he agreed.
This chance encounter is just an episode, and after dressing up, how to probe information is the purpose of Wang Shi's practice.
So after hiding his sidearm under a hidden tree, Wang Shiyi summoned Yan Wei and others to prepare a brief meeting summary.
After they sat down, Wang Shijian stared at the few people in front of him, and couldn't help but feel heavy.
Just by relying on these few people in front of you, can you open up a base here, as the lord said?
Wang Shiyi didn't know this, but he understood that if he didn't do this, he wouldn't have a chance, so he said to a few people: "As for why we are staying here, I guess you already know. In that case, I'm not going to talk nonsense, let's discuss how we should act later!"
"That's right! Time waits for no one, and as you can see, the Mongolian army has already come, and we really have no room to turn around. Yan Wei was also a little anxious.
Wang Shiyi immediately expressed his opinion: "According to my thoughts, our most important purpose now is to find out why the water puppet Yin Luosha sent his subordinates to come here, and find out what the purpose of this water puppet Yin Luosha is. ”
Dare to do such a thing under the nose of the Red Phoenix Army, the water puppet Yin Luo is also a little bold, but Wang Shiyi is more interested in what is the purpose of this person, and he actually dispatched at this time?
Didn't he know the strength of the Red Phoenix Army?
Or is this person ready to pursue his own interests in this battle between the Mongol army and the Red Phoenix army?
"Why is it him?" Yan Wei was slightly surprised, this person's figure has always been hidden, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it.
Wang Shixing explained: "This person is very strong, and his subordinates are as many as tens of thousands. Of course, these people are nothing more than a rabble, and they are simply not enough to confront our army. However, this person is entrenched in the mainland, and he is extremely familiar with the terrain of this place, which can be described as a local snake. If this person turns against him at a critical time, then our army will be in a dangerous situation. In order to determine the person's tendencies, we must understand the person's movements. ”
"I'll understand. ”
As the words settled, the group began to discuss how to infiltrate the water golem next, and then find out where the man's lair was.
............
Tangshan County was established since the Western Han Dynasty, as a Bairen County, and to Jin Dadingzhong, because of the avoidance of Jin Shizong's Yan Zongyao's secrecy, Yaoshan County was changed to Tangshan County. Legend Yao Mountain is the mountain conferred by Emperor Yao of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Yao once climbed on it in person to watch the flood, and then it is the place of Nashun, so Tang Mountain is also Yao Mountain.
Living on Tangshan, Xiao Feng overlooks.
I saw that the plains that stretched for thousands of miles were all barren land, and the farmland of the past had long been abandoned, and there was no longer the abundant scenery of the past. Under the scorching sun, the ground has dried up, and even the weeds have withered, and they have withered and fallen to the ground, unable to stand up
Surprised, Xiao Feng ordered: "Quickly send someone to search the farm here, and be sure to find out the situation here." ”
In the past, this place should have been densely populated, strange traffic, and there were crowds of people surging, pushing and shouting, but now when you come here, it is just a desert land, and there is no one at all, just like in the downtown and supermarket, only one person exists, revealing a bit of treacherous atmosphere.
"According to the lord's order, we have sent someone to investigate this place. ”
Zhao Zhi immediately replied, even if he ordered the soldiers of the whole army to continue to stay in the army and not leave the camp, they did not dare to act rashly when they were not sure that this place was safe.

Leading a team of cavalry, Yuan Ye walked all the way north along the water, trying to find the villagers here.
Probably because the snow melted, the water was getting longer, and it had already reached the calf of the war horse, but walking in this jungle, Yuan Ye was a little uneasy.
The trees on both sides were bare, and there were no leaves to speak of, even the bark had disappeared for some reason, revealing a strange atmosphere, so that he couldn't help but tighten the reins in his hand, so as not to disturb anything, and his eyes were also uneasy, looking around, as if there was something hidden under the blue sky and white sun.
After walking for about half an hour, the group saw dozens of thatched huts standing on the hillside from a distance, so they were slightly excited and drove their horses to rush there.
When they came to the village, they found that there was no movement in the village, and it was close to noon, but there was no smoke rising from it.
"Take a look around and see if you can find someone?" Yuan Ye commanded, turning over from the war horse and walking into a thatched hut next to him.
When I opened the door, there was no clothes or mattresses, and when I opened the clay pot, there was not even a grain of rice in it, and when I walked into the backyard, there was no sound of chickens and dogs barking, and the whole wall was bare, and there was nothing, it was a completely empty haunted house with nothing.
Looking at all this, Yuan Ye was puzzled: "What happened here?"
Walking out of the room, he questioned the soldiers who had returned, and found that everyone had returned empty-handed, not only food, but also cloth and iron, and most of them had disappeared, as if this was a ghost realm.
"Alas. Let's go. ”
Yuan Ye sighed, and immediately led everyone to continue walking forward.
It has been determined that there is a village next to the river, but it is still doubtful where the people in the village have gone.
This really made Yuan Ye feel strange.
So he plans to keep tracking.
The team continued, and as the horse advanced, there was a "click", and one of the horses didn't know what to step on, and almost threw the warrior off top.
The soldier cursed, immediately drank the war horse, leaned down to look, and immediately shouted: "Everyone, how come there is a white skeleton here?"
"White bones?" Yuan Ye drove his war horse over and took a closer look.
This is a dried corpse, the scraps of flesh on the corpse have long been devoured by passing jackals, tigers and leopards, and even the flesh and blood hidden in the bones have been sucked by gnats, leaving only a shriveled and shriveled white bone.
Yuan Ye sighed: "It seems that this should be an old man, he is estimated to have been starved to death, so he died here." ”
"Shall we move on, then?" said some of them, as if they were frightened by the bones.
Yuan Ye shook his head, but he stared into the distance and shouted, "Of course." There are corpses here, which means that there may be a settled village ahead. Maybe if we keep searching, we'll be able to find the existence of the missing villagers. With that, he drove his horse and continued to run into the distance.
When the rest of the people saw it, they didn't dare to disobey the order, so they had to walk into the distance.
After walking for a while, suddenly something was washed up from the river to the shore, just in front of the cavalry.
"It's a corpse again, why do you keep encountering corpses?" Someone immediately scolded when they smelled the smell of corruption.
"Go and see!" Yuan Ye's face was solemn, and he immediately drove his horse to the corpse.
Compared with the previous body of jackals, tigers, leopards, and bacteria, this corpse is obviously much more complete, and has not been eaten by wild animals, so it still retains its original appearance, but its skin has already completely decayed and turned into a lump of black and dark things that I don't know.
Yuan Ye looked at the carrion corpse in a daze, but took off the spear on the war horse, and with a sharp wave, he slashed the belly of the carrion corpse, and then peeled off the skin outside.
"What is this?" a few people looked at it, and immediately felt that their throats seemed to be muttered by something, and they almost couldn't breathe.
It's just that the carrion's stomach is full of leaves, bark, rubble, and some powdery stuff that I can't figure out, but can I eat these things?
Everyone was silent, just looking at Yuan Ye.
"Captain, shall we continue?"
No one spoke, but from everyone's eyes, it was full of meaning.
The corners of Yuan Ye's mouth twitched slightly, even his forehead was covered with sweat, and he suddenly turned his head not to look at the rotting corpse, and let the war horse under him take him towards the distance: "Let's continue." After all, these people may still be in danger, or they may need our help. ”
The team continued, but their minds grew heavier, and all they could hear was the sound of the horses' "tapping" footsteps.
With a "click", this was another step on a corpse, which couldn't help but make the warrior above frown and curse in a low voice: "Alas. Why are there more and more corpses like this? Isn't this path leading to hell?"
It's not that he's surprised, it's actually that there are more and more corpses left on this path.
From the beginning of the only few within 100 meters, to the current group of three or five, this kind of corpse is more and more, so that they all begin to become numb.
"Don't speak, keep checking what's going on around you. Yuan Ye shouted, continuing to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
There were more and more corpses in the vicinity, which made him even more puzzled, trying to figure out what was going on here.
One of them pointed to a ravine not far away and shouted, "Sir, there seems to be something there!"
I saw that above the ravine, thousands of flies and gnats were circling and the buzzing sound made the people restless, and a large group of them gathered together, so that the sky was also darkened, and it was impossible to figure out what was hidden.
"Check it out!"
With only one move of the reins, Yuan Ye was immediately pulled by the war horse and came to the place of this ravine.
Looking down, he suddenly felt that all the things in his stomach were surging up, and he almost vomited, and his eyelids trembled, and he saw that in this ravine, hundreds of corpses were lying among them. His skin was shriveled and lying on the rock, and his empty eyes stared at him stunned, as if he was telling a story.
Suddenly, a voice sounded, and suddenly the gnats that were coiled on these bones heard the sound, and the black pressure completely covered the sun, making the group feel cold all over their bodies, and they almost wanted to run away.
Yuan Ye suddenly felt a chill in his vest, and shouted in a low voice: "What is this?"
"It's a child's bones!" someone replied.
Yes, just looking at the skeletons, the highest is only up to their waists, and it can't be anything other than the bones of children.
But why are there so many bones of children here?
Yuan Ye couldn't help but clench the spear in his hand and shouted, "Go and see who did it." ”
For some reason, his eyes suddenly flashed those of his former partners, they were the same age as these children in front of him, and they were also struggling to survive under the strong pressure of the outside world, if one day after he went back, those partners he used to be like this, then could he accept it?
"Understood!"
Although the feeling was ominous, the soldiers of the Red Phoenix Army still fell from their horses and jumped into the ravine filled with the bones of young children.
After checking for a long time, someone finally replied: "There are fracture marks on the spine of these bones, and they should have been killed by falling." Many more died of blood loss. ”
"Died of blood loss, what's going on?" Yuan Ye asked in a deliberately low voice, as if he was afraid that if he made a louder voice, he would wake up these bones that were still here.
Among the people who accompanied him, a person who was proficient in autopsy immediately replied: "According to what we have checked, there are knife marks on their hand bones, including leg bones, which should have been left by someone with a sharp weapon." And according to my guess, maybe they were ......"
"Don't say it. I know what you mean. Before he finished speaking, the man's words were interrupted by Yuan Ye.
In this case, Yuan Ye didn't know what was going on, so he was really stupid.
Finally someone began to be a little frightened, and asked timidly, "Sir, what should we do?"
Yuan Ye raised his head and looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, where the jungle was dense and the vegetation was abundant, which was also the source of this water, he gritted his teeth and stood up straight, and suddenly stepped on the war horse: "Keep walking! I want to know what is going on here?"
