"Okay, it's getting late, you'd better go back and rest early!"
Zhang Zihuan didn't take it seriously. If the medicinal powder he brought could cure eczema, it wouldn't be too much to give him a military rank.
After all, they still have a very heavy task ahead. It would be a bit unrealistic for these soldiers to go into battle one by one with injuries.
"Lao Zhang, aren't you asleep yet?"
As soon as Wei Dongchen left, Yuan Qing came to Zhang Zihuan's side.
"Aren't you asleep too?"
Zhang Zihuan smiled and said.
"Is there any news from Liu Wucai?"
Yuan Qing asked softly.
As their main opponent, Liu Wucai is naturally also their key surveillance target.
In the past few days, Zhang Zihuan had spent a lot of effort, and he had almost all the experienced scouts in the army thrown away.
"That woman has been quiet these past few days, but tonight, she sent someone to deliver a letter to the military camp in the south of the city. We should be more careful tonight!"
“The crazy weather in Lingnan is really uncomfortable!”
Hearing what Zhang Zihuan said, Yuan Qing couldn't help but sigh. The weather in Lingnan was really unfriendly to the Shenwu Army.
The main combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Army is entirely on the crossbows, but the damn weather in Lingnan, as long as it rains, the lingering autumn rain will be gone.
No matter how carefully they take care of it, once the bow string absorbs water, it will quickly become soft and weak. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Without the help of the Shenwu Army, it would be difficult to defend the entire Shaofu Prison with just the five hundred Mo Dao Army.
"There is nothing we can do about this. Let's think of other ways!"
Both of them knew in their hearts that if the enemy took advantage of the rainy night to attack, they would be at an absolute disadvantage.
After all, this is inside the city, and the terrain is complex. Using artillery can easily cause unnecessary casualties.
"If this were in Jinyang City, I would lead people directly to the post house and chop that stinky woman in half!"
As Yuan Qing spoke, he angrily kicked away a stone on the side of the road.
"What's the use of talking about this now? Let's send more people. Besides, it's getting late. You'd better go back and rest first. I'll keep watch tonight!"
"It's better that you go back first. I always feel like something is going to happen tonight, and I always feel anxious in my heart!"
Yuan Qing smiled bitterly and then said.
"I think you want a wife, right? Hahahaha!"
Zhang Zihuan burst out laughing.
"I don't know where my wife is right now! By the way, what is this in your hand?"
As Yuan Qing spoke, she curiously looked at the medicine bag in Zhang Zihuan's hand.
"Just now, someone from the Young Palace Supervisor sent someone over, saying that this thing can cure eczema, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm about to try it!"
"Can it cure eczema? That's a really good thing. You and I have nothing to do now. You can try it on my back first!"
Even if he is as tough as Yuan Qing, he will inevitably suffer from eczema after arriving in Lingnan.
Although he has been calm in the past few days, but having eczema, it feels like a person knowing whether drinking water is warm or cold!
"Sir, we caught two spies outside!"
"We are not spies, we are ordinary people. We drank a few too many drinks this night and fell drunk on the roadside. We were woken up by the rain in the middle of the night!"
While the two were talking, the Modao Army soldiers outside pushed two tied-up middle-aged men in.
"You said you are local people nearby?"
Yuan Qing looked them up and down, and then asked again.
"Sir, we are really local people nearby. We just drank too much, and your soldiers caught us here without saying a word!"
The two of them quickly begged for mercy.
"Don't worry. If you are really the common people nearby, this is not a big deal! However, you must think clearly about the crime of spying on the military camp. You don't know it, right?"
Yuan Qing had a meaningful smile on his face.
"Sir, what are you talking about? We don't understand..."
As the two of them spoke, it was obvious that they were a little scared.
"Lao Zhang, what do you think?"
Yuan Qing looked at Zhang Zihuan with a smile.
"You better do it, I'm not good at this!"
Zhang Zihuan took half a step back, and then made a gesture of invitation. The meaning was already obvious.
Yuan Qing didn't mean to be polite. He smiled and stepped forward, asking the soldiers to untie the ropes for them.
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!"
Seeing that the ropes on their bodies were untied, the two of them quickly knelt on the ground and thanked them profusely.
"Don't thank me in a hurry, just stretch out your hands!"
Yuan Qing said with a smile again.
"S-Sir, we are just ordinary farmers, what's so good about this hand..."
The two of them were obviously dodging.
"Help them!"
As soon as Yuan Qing finished speaking, two Mo Dao stopped at their necks. Feeling the cold blade, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Hands up!"
Yuan Qing said with a sneer.
"I, I, I..."
The two of them were still arguing when they felt the blade on their necks slip, and warm liquid immediately flowed down their necks.
The two of them had no choice but to raise their hands.
"Do you want me to say anything more?"
After Yuan Qing touched their hands, the expression on his face suddenly turned cold.
"S-Sir, we don't know what you are talking about..."
The two looked down at each other and stammered.
"I don't know? Are you fools for thinking that I am a captain? Can't you even figure out whether you are holding a knife or a hoe?"
Yuan Qing's words immediately shattered all their luck.
"Come here, drag me out and chop him up!"
Hearing what Yuan Qing said, several Modao Army soldiers immediately dragged them away without any hesitation.
"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me, we are just following orders! We are also soldiers of the Han Dynasty!"
Seeing that their heads were about to fall to the ground, the two of them immediately stopped talking nonsense and hurriedly struggled to kneel on the ground again.
"You say that you are also soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and you also say that you are acting under orders. Whose subordinates are you, and whose orders are you following?"
Yuan Qing asked again with a gloomy expression.
"Sir, we are all subordinates of General Ji Yu. We have been ordered by the general to come to the Shaofu to inspect and investigate. Please ask the general to keep an eye on it!"
At this point, the two of them did not dare to hide anything anymore, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.
After all, this is the army of the Han Dynasty. If they are beheaded by Yuan Qing, not only will their death be in vain, but their own families may also be harmed.
How could they, little people, be desperate at this time?
