Li Cheng continued: "I continued to investigate and found that the mansion where General Botu lives is very far away from General Li. It's just that General Li has been trying to enter intentionally or unintentionally in the past few days since General Botu continued to the front line. It’s as if this general is hiding some rare treasure, but Botu left twenty people to stop him, so it seems that he must be aware of General Li’s virtues.”
"From here, I continued to inquire and heard that Botu beat General Li until he called a military doctor on the day he left the battlefield. However, the reason is not clear. There are various theories, the most common are two. Firstly, Botu couldn’t bear to see General Li killing the soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom’s wounded barracks, and secondly, Botu was unhappy that General Li had intercepted his merits in finding the wounded barracks.”
Two speculations put Botu in two positions, but what remains unchanged is that Botu was the one who didn't make a move.
"Renovation, looking for someone tonight."
The breeze was wandering around with the smell of grass and trees, and fine rain fell everywhere, washing something away.
Gingo looked up at the night sky. The half of the crescent moon had been completely covered, and nothing could be seen.
"The third house is here." Li Cheng wiped the rain off his face and looked away from the distance for a moment, "I'll go in first to investigate. Ima will stay outside."
After Li Cheng finished speaking, before Yi Jian could reply, the man had already climbed in along the corner, and something seemed to be brewing in the silence.
Yi Jian waited in the corner while protecting Ginkgo, and listened for a while before two knocking sounds came from inside.
Yi Jian led Bai Guo into the mansion even more lightly, but he couldn't help but think that there was something wrong in their minds, so the two of them walked on the path where there was no one, as if they were stealing.
Bai Guo straightened his clothes and glanced at Yi Jian, then walked away openly.
Li Cheng's horrified voice was suppressed, "There are guards in the house!"
Tu Ji walked straight behind Bai Guo. Hearing this, he said: "Of the twenty people in the mansion, fifteen were taken away by General Li. Now there are only five."
"But I heard from people in the caravan that there are always one to three more people in this mansion buying food."
The people who stayed behind were clearly visible, and there were no more than twenty people.
Li Cheng didn't expect Tu Ji to find out this, but Ye finally dared to straighten up, but he was still a little unhappy that Tu Ji had said it at this time.
"After the conflict, I asked the people from the Leping caravan to have a fight with our people tonight. After the news was released, the caravan I beat up has attracted seven or eight others. There is bound to be chaos outside tonight. The three of us You can't beat the opponent's five or eight people individually."
Tu Ji was not asking, but looking askance at Li Cheng and Yi Jian.
Ging Guo was amused, seeing that none of the three snorted coldly, and followed Tu Ji slowly.
Li Cheng and Yi Jian were much faster than Bai Guo. This was so that if there was a fight, the three of them would not be involved in it and they would be unable to separate themselves and Bai Guo would find someone.
Yi Jian and Li Cheng searched in the open, while Tu Ji took Ging Guo in the dark to listen to the short syllables Ging Guo carved on the ground.
In less than half a cup of tea, voices of scolding and fighting rang out from Li Cheng and Yi Jian, quickly waking up the quiet house.
Gingguo tilted his ears slightly, there were a lot of messy sounds in his ears, but none of them were familiar.
"There are three courtyards in the back." Tu Ji had checked the drawings of the house before. Now when he watched Ging Guo put away the hairpin, his voice was not worried. Instead, he was very calm, as if he concluded that the person Ging Guo was looking for was here.
"How many generals did Hongliang Kingdom send on the battlefield?" Bai Guo's voice was also not panicked, but could be considered steady.
"Of the fourteen, only General Li is training in this city."
But General Li is still waiting for Bai Guo and others to come to his residence, or he may be forced to go out to deal with the chaos between the caravans, which means there will be no accidents here tonight.
Maybe it was because he was getting closer to the truth, but it became more and more difficult for Ginkgo to maintain calm.
When she started carving, Bai Guo exerted a lot of force, and she was afraid that they wouldn't hear her.
"Those people..." There was something in Bai Guo's voice, "Save a life."
Tu Ji understood that they could go in and check out all these rooms now, but it would be too slow.
Even if General Li is waiting or entangled, as long as he still has contact with this house or the people patrolling are still doing their duty tonight, the movement here will only last for half an hour. will be discovered.
Unable to thoroughly explore or confirm the location of Yulan and Ansuke, she was scared.
Afraid that they were actually in the house and she didn't hear their response.
Li Cheng and Yi Jian were also considered outstanding, and it was not difficult to deal with a few soldiers. At least when Bai Guo walked around the house without getting any response, there was no movement from their side.
Tuji listened carefully and said, "They are coming."
The hairpin in his hand fell unconsciously, and Bai Guo exhaled slowly. He didn't realize how focused his eyes were.
Tu Ji silently picked up the hairpin and saw that Li Cheng and Yi Jian were kneeling on the ground with others.
"There are seven people, two of them are hiding on the roof and shooting cold arrows."
Breathing seems to have stopped, and heaviness remains in the body.
When he came, Li Cheng asked everything he could, "They didn't know what Botu had hidden, but it wasn't a human being. The order they received was to guard the house, but there were no extra people coming to talk to him." They share the food.”
One sentence negated their previous speculation.
There were only three people kneeling on the ground, all of them with injuries. It looked like they were scared of being beaten, but those who were not scared would not be brought to her.
Bai Guo knelt down in front of the three of them and looked at them, "How long have you been following Botu?"
"...three months."
"Just...just transferred here."
"Half a year..."
"What about the rest?"
"It's not more than a year, otherwise why wouldn't General Botu tell us what's in this house?"
"How many years is the person Botu has been with for the longest time?"
"Twelve years, the shortest is eight years, and an army of more than 30,000 people."
Bai Guo couldn't help but chuckle, which was a subconscious cover-up when he was helpless, incompetent and at a loss.
But the next moment Bai Guo's words made it clear that he already understood, "I'm afraid that General Botu has already known the identities of Yulan and Ansuke, and is just waiting for me to show up, but... when have I ever met people from Hongliang Kingdom?" ?”
Not to mention being from Hongliang Kingdom, most of the people Bai Guo knew from so many countries were businessmen, but Bai Guo didn't remember the people in the officialdom.
"If Supervisor Bai doesn't know him, it can only be Botu..."
Get to know Ginkgo, or what you want to get from Ginkgo.
If you talk about it in detail, it is very likely that the second one will come. Most of the things in Gingguo's hands are what the world longs for.
"The things in this house are probably bait." Judging from Bai Guo's thoughts, Botu kept unimportant people in a temporarily arranged house. What could be really important in that house?
There are more than 30,000 people, but one or two people can't be found to guard them?
"Get out of here first." If this place is a bait, then General Li may have known Botu's intention when he came here several times before, and set a trap again to attract Gingo and others. If so, then this game of catching a turtle in a jar is still effective.
but……
"Shall we arrange for people near General Li to move?"
The thousands of people in the Leping caravan were still waiting for orders, with the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind them. They were not so reckless this time.
"Let's withdraw first. If we act at this time, the Leping Caravan's involvement in government affairs will be known to other countries, and they will be squeezed out..."
Li Zheng persuaded.
The power that Bai Guo can use when he appears in Hongliang Kingdom can be imagined, but no matter whether he uses the identity of Supervisor Bai or the identity of Yi Dadong, he cannot avoid the fact that the person he is looking for is a soldier in Chengzhou Kingdom.
Baiguo didn't find anyone and wasn't very interested, but he said surprisingly: "Would it be more realistic if Botu caught me and used it to threaten the Zhou Kingdom?"
Li Cheng and the other three were immediately speechless, but their shoulders and backs were tense, and the weapons in their hands looked as if they were about to kill someone at any time.
The threat of seizing Ging Guo is too direct and clear.
Leping, Pangda Governor, the army, the people, the court...
The real threat became Zhou State.
But in fact, the surroundings were very quiet, as if all this was a fallacy, but only Li Cheng and others who were in the midst of it understood how terrifying this matter was.
"Sure enough, I'm still not suitable for the battlefield." Bai Guo's sighing words were unrefuted at this moment.
The sound of thousands of horses' hooves coming from far and near is also irrefutable.
So today they should...
Li Cheng frowned and suddenly asked: "Do you think the sound of these horseshoes is familiar?"
"kill--!"
Cheng Zhouguo's roar echoed clearly in everyone's ears at this moment, turning the expressions of all four people into astonishment.
At the door of the mansion is...
Became a general of the Zhou Kingdom? !
Li Cheng went up to the roof without believing it, but the scene outside was clearly before his eyes.
Thousands of soldiers of the Hongliang Kingdom were intercepted less than a street away from this mansion. However, a few of them, who could be counted in the Zhou Kingdom, were so fierce that they seemed to be in an uninhabited land. Behind the Hongliang soldiers were holding The heavy sword attack only caused them to disperse in a short time and cut out the road approaching the mansion.
At this moment, Li Cheng clearly understood what the Xuanjia Army was.
The Black Armor Army wears black heavy armor and rides horses with protective gear. They can charge and serve as cavalry. They crush the enemy with their strength. They are the elite of the heavy armor army!
Li Cheng didn't know how long it took to suppress the shock in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at Bai Guo, who seemed to have felt something. "Dudu Pang has entered the city!"
The chaotic disputes they heard before were not the scale of the caravans, but the sound of the city being breached.
It is the protection and fighting of the soldiers of the two countries.
Bai Guo looked at Yi Jian beside her, with a little confusion in her eyes. She asked as if confirming: "Three cities?"
When they arrived at the front line, it was still three cities away from this city. It was impossible to attack it in a few days at the previous speed.
Not to mention Bai Guo at this time, Yi Jian and Tu Ji, who had not seen the scene outside the mansion, did not believe it!
In front of outsiders, this is just a number. Only those who have actually been on the battlefield and have real contact with the Hongliang Kingdom can understand what this represents.
"It should be..." Yi Jian looked at Li Cheng's unbelievable eyes that were not hidden, "Yes..."
Did they hide here with these heavily armed soldiers and generals as if they were among them?
Yi Jian breathed out slowly and said: "It should be..."
