"And I want to know! Are any of our maps placed in iron pipes?" Lao Qiu didn't show off, staring at the people present and asked directly.
"A map placed in an iron pipe? How is it possible? No map is that valuable!" Gouzi said in confusion, and then suddenly fell silent!
Only then did he suddenly realize the biggest strangeness hidden in this sentence! When did their army ever have maps that were kept in iron tubes?
Thinking of this, Gouzi wanted to hit himself on the head a few times! How stupid! I haven't discovered such an obvious loophole. Could it be that I have lost my intelligence?
However, this is not to blame for their stupidity. In fact, in the situation just now, their minds were all confused and they didn't even think about it!
"No way, our maps are all taken casually and taken away. How could they be put in the iron pipe? Did you remember it wrong!" Jiayi obviously hadn't thought of this yet, he said to himself After saying something, he suddenly looked sideways at Wang Wu, his eyes full of suspicion!
Wang Wu, who was squatting there quietly, preparing to carry out his great work of pretending to be an ostrich to the end, trembled all over when he heard Jia Yi's words. He quickly raised his head and swore: "Impossible! This is impossible! I really remember it clearly! What Xiao Hou told me was definitely the map placed in the iron pipe! Whoever remembers it wrong is the grandson!"
"Remember correctly? Did you say anything else? Just like you did just now?"
"No! Absolutely not! With just such a sentence, I originally wanted to ask more, but he just told me to come back..."
"..."
Jia Yi was speechless, and then looked Wang Wu up and down carefully, as if he felt that this guy was not lying, so he looked back and muttered: "What on earth is the Marquis going to do? What map is he talking about?"
Lao Qiu frowned and carefully recalled several maps he had brought with him when he went out this time, or things related to maps.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he thought, he found nothing that could explain the current situation.
Several people on the ground made their own guesses, but the valley became quiet for a while, and no one had any clue.
"Huh?"
After a while, the little girl who was about to scratch her hair suddenly stopped, raised her head suddenly, looked straight at the dog opposite and said: "Tell me, is it possible? Mr. Hou said The map is not a map at all?"
"Huh? Not a map?"
What Xiaodong said was somewhat contradictory, but after hearing this, several people understood what he wanted to say!
Then...then he subconsciously looked at Wang Wu!
This action has almost become their first reaction today. As long as there is something wrong, don't worry about anything else and go to Wang Wu first!
Poor Wang Wu was the first to doubt him when he saw everyone, and his big face turned dark at that moment!
Just when he was about to swear again, he heard Xiaodong say in a strange voice: "Don't even look at Wang Wu. I don't mean that Wang Wu heard it wrong! But I think that the map that the Marquis mentioned is probably not his. It's just that he was limited by the situation at the time and couldn't explain it clearly! He could only cover it up in the name of a map!"
"This is indeed very possible!"
When Lao Qiu heard this, a light suddenly flashed in his mind. He wanted to catch it, but couldn't, so he had to say to Xiaodong: "Keep talking!"
Seeing that Lao Qiu seemed to agree with what he said, Xiaodong felt a little more confident.
He gritted his teeth and continued: "I have just been thinking that under the current circumstances, what kind of message does the Marquis want to send to us? He will not say more useless words to interfere with our judgment! So what he said Every word of these words is useful! As long as we understand why he speaks like this, we can find the meaning hidden in it!"
"Every word counts!"
At this point, Xiaodong's words finally exploded in Lao Qiu's mind like a yellow bell! All the fog was dispelled in an instant!
"Where's the fat guy! Where's the fat guy!"
Lao Qiu slapped the ground and stood up. He didn't care about anything else and roared around him.
"Here, there!" In the corner, the fat man who heard the roar stood up and ran towards here.
"Uncle Qiu, what did you think of?"
Looking at Lao Qiu's appearance, the dogs on the ground could not guess that he already knew the meaning of Xiao Han's words? He quickly stood up and asked urgently.
However, Lao Qiu just looked at the fat man wearing armor and running towards him and smiled, with a very pleased smile.
That's right, he finally figured out what Xiao Han meant just now!
Let Xiaodong look for Gouzi, and then let Gouzi look for Fatty!
It seems like a simple thing, but it has to be turned around in the hands of three people! This is not because Xiao Han wants to cause trouble, but because he wants to use this method to let the obedient people discover the extra meaning hidden behind it.
There are three names in his sentence.
Xiaodong.
Undoubtedly, he is the one who knows Xiao Han best among everyone present, and is also the one most likely to find something wrong with his words! And the question he asked just now proves this point!
Gouzi.
He is the actual commander of the new Fire Guards, and he knows this army best. If the new Fire Guards need to take any action, he will never be bypassed!
As for the fat man.
Needless to say, he is the simplest and most important! Because if we continue to guess like this, he will be the last actual implementer!
"Let me just say that Mr. Marquis is not a person who sits still and waits for death. He is not even a person who likes to compromise! Others think that victory is within their grasp, but they don't know that he has long been thinking in his heart about how to find a way to do it cleanly. Fuck each other!”

Outside the valley.
Xiao Han sat cross-legged on the carpet quietly, seeming to be concentrating with his eyes closed.
He is now at the edge of the big crater blasted by gunpowder. In front of him are the kneeling old man and the solemn old servant. A little further away are the bowmen who dare not let their weapons leave his hands for a moment. crossbowman.
It was early winter, and the night was so cold that frost was still forming, but this did not affect the rotting and smelly corpses on the battlefield.
Especially since it had been a few days since the explosion, and no one had cleaned up the mutilated corpses, so when the indescribable stench came, there were some signs of rumination in Xiao Han's stomach.
"Is there any water?" Xiao Han said to the old man in front of him, suppressing the churning feeling deep in his throat.
The old man was looking at the place where Wang Wu left in a daze. After hearing this, he finally looked away, shook his head slightly and said, "No."
"No? Don't you even bring water with you when you go out?"
"Ahem, I brought it! And I also brought a complete set of tea sets, used to cook Xiao Han's favorite clear water vegetarian tea! Unfortunately, in the inexplicable explosion just now, the tea set flew away along with the spring water collected from the mountains. He went up to heaven, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find him again even if I look for him...
