Chapter 207: Take someone [ask for a monthly ticket! ]
The three of them had no choice but to leave in shame.
Never mind, since it was not the time for her to show her skills, she might as well make some money here. If she sold more cakes, the funds for the Zhuxie Yamen would be more sufficient.
After returning to the base, they explained the situation in Happy Building in more detail and asked the Evil Extermination Division to send more personnel to focus on guarding this area.
Then head to the tailor shop.
Staff General Chen Lie and the tailor shop were the least likely suspects, so they were not too nervous and just took a casual look.
This tailor shop specializes in repairing military uniforms. The soldiers train every day and their clothes are severely worn out. Some clothes can be simply patched, while others are more particular and will be sent out for mending.
Behind the counter of the tailor shop was a smiling, round-faced little girl wearing a brocade dress with a jade hanging around her waist. She looked enthusiastic.
"Miss, where is your boss?" After the three of them turned around, they asked the woman.
"It's me." The girl replied, "If you need anything, just tell me."
"Eh?" Xu Luzhi was puzzled. "Wasn't there a bald uncle before, and he was also..."
She also had an affair with the proprietress of the beef shop next door, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't say them out loud.
"Oh, I bought this store," the girl replied.
After a few people talked for a while, and seeing that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the girl, and that she was indeed just simply closing the shop, they left the tailor shop.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Wu Xiaoqi rushing towards him.
"Wei Zhongzhou is missing!" This was the news he brought.
"What?" Liang Yue frowned, "What's going on?"
"Just after you sent back the message, a spy came to report that he was leading a troop of soldiers out to suppress bandits." Wu Xiaoqi said.
"There are still bandits near the Beizhou military town?" Liang Yue knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it.
Which group of heroes is so bold as to gather in the mountains near the military town?
What's the difference between this and mice having sex next to a cat's nest?
"It is said that there was a report that bandits gathered in Bailin Mountain not far from here, disguised as government troops to rob merchants, so he took the order and went out." Wu Xiaoqi was also a little anxious, "But Bailin Mountain is in the north. Our people went north along the official road, but did not see this army."
It is not easy to monitor people in the military camp, and spies cannot follow too closely. His dispatch of troops was extremely sudden, which indeed caught the Zhuxie Yamen off guard.
"What about the south?" Liang Yue suddenly remembered the map he saw in the kitchen of Kuaihuo Building. It mainly showed the terrain from the south of the military town to the Zhongzhou Pass.
"They all went out to look for him." Wu Xiaoqi replied.
"Don't wait at Kuaihuo Tower, hurry up and get him!" Liang Yue immediately gave orders, "Since Wei Zhongzhou has taken action, the other side may also be preparing to escape. Let the spies focus on searching the official roads leading to Zhongzhou, send a message to the military camp, and let the Beizhou military town send troops to be ready to support at any time."
Just as he said, Lu Tao, the head chef of Kuaihuo Lou, was captured while escaping.
He had no intention of returning to his residence, but took the opportunity of shopping to change his clothes and escape. The spies of the Zhuxie Yamen had been keeping an eye on him for a long time, so it was impossible for him to slip away.
The surprise capture and interrogation of Lu Tao is underway, but Liang Yue and his team can't wait for news.
The spies over there reported back that they had indeed seen traces of an army marching along a mountain road leading to Zhongzhou. The three of them immediately set out and chased after them.
The distance was not far, so Li Mo directly gave each of them two magical talismans. They turned into afterimages, passed through the military town in a flash, and chased in that direction.
Following the scout's guidance, we moved forward and soon heard the sound of soldiers fighting ahead!
……
On the official road at the foot of the mountain ahead, there was a convoy also escorted by the Yin Dynasty's military horses. About three to five hundred soldiers were flanking two carriages, moving slowly forward.
Suddenly, a group of cavalry appeared from the hillside and charged down, causing heavy casualties to this team of officers and soldiers. Fortunately, they were also well-trained elite soldiers, so they were not immediately killed and defeated.
After a cavalry charge, there were less than 200 officers and soldiers left, who were struggling to resist in formation.
A middle-aged man in casual clothes walked out of the carriage. He was solemn and serious, with a frown on his face. He shouted, "Whose subordinates are you? Do you want to rebel?"
Unfortunately, his cultivation was not high, and in this chaotic army formation, he could not attract everyone's attention. The spearhead of the cavalry was a brave young general, holding a long spear and riding a cloud-patterned horse. Wherever he went, there was no enemy. He killed these elite soldiers in the army as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
Just when they were about to break through the formation, a strong man as strong as an iron tower came down from the carriage behind. Seeing that something was wrong, the strong man immediately drew out a large bow and drew an arrow.
buzzing-
Immediately the bowstring broke through the wind, and three feather arrows carrying great force flew straight to the general's face.
The general swung his spear horizontally, and a cloud-like aura filled the air. Although it did not completely block the arrows, it deflected their direction and made them shoot elsewhere.
The general rode his horse and leaped forward over the crowd again, and suddenly another arrow shot out from mid-air.
call out--
This time the arrow was different from the previous ones. It was not just pure strength, but it also carried a powerful red true energy. It was like a shooting star, crashing towards the general.
The general with the gun turned around and boom!
There was a loud bang, a ball of fire exploded in the air, and he spurred his horse sideways a little.
After a moment's delay, three people fell from the sky!
An afterimage took the lead in attacking, with an extremely sharp sword energy, which instantly swept past the general's side, and as a result, a deep hole was cut in his shoulder armor, and a trace of blood seeped out.
The afterimage turned over and landed on the ground, and it was Liang Yue.
On the other side, Li Mo also appeared out of nowhere. He raised his hand and cast a set of talisman arrays, which spun in the air, making the movements of the people in the array suddenly become extremely slow.
The soldiers fighting below suddenly became slow.
Xu Luzhi threw flower petals all over the sky, making the horses dizzy and unable to carry the riders.
It was a bit stressful for her to use magic to confuse more than a thousand people, but it was not difficult to charm these horses.
After Liang Yue landed, he shouted loudly, "Soldiers of the Northern State Military Town! Don't be deceived by the traitors. You killed the soldiers of the Yin Dynasty. You didn't know that you were innocent before. If you do it again now, it will be tantamount to rebellion!"
As soon as these words came out, the charging cavalrymen immediately wavered. The horses under their crotches were already unresponsive, and their own movements were inexplicably slow. The faith in their hearts was shaken again, and the battlefield was instantly broken.
Both sides stopped.
It would certainly be difficult for the three members of the Zhuxie Division to deal with a thousand cavalry. But if they were asked to temporarily cool down the battlefield and make the truth known to the public, they could try.
Because the lower-level soldiers could not get clear military orders and could only follow the orders of their superiors, this led to the current situation. These soldiers did not want to rebel, only the generals who led the army had different intentions.
The cavalry officer on the horse looked at Liang Yue, his face showing no sadness or joy, and said calmly: "Brother Liang, you are indeed extraordinary."
"Brother Wei." Liang Yue also looked at him, "You also exceeded my expectations."
The man on the horse was Wei Zhongzhou, the deputy general of the Light Cavalry Battalion.
He obtained the military token in the name of suppressing bandits, but brought the army here to intercept the convoy escorting the important officials of the Yin Dynasty. If it had not been intercepted in time by the Evil Execution Division, I am afraid he would have succeeded today.
As the two were facing each other, a surprised shout came from behind: "Ayue?"
Liang Yue looked back and smiled: "Dachun?"
Good morning.
The updates have indeed been less frequent recently than before, because after I finished writing the outline, the daily routine is easier to write, but with this kind of reasoning main line plot, it is easy to get stuck. I don’t have time to plan everything out before I have to update, and I’m completely in the dark when I try to update.
If this happens again, I would rather take a day or two off in advance and think about the plot before writing, otherwise it will be a mess.
It's a new month again. I wish you all a happy and smooth August.
