His men were all pretending to be stupid, and Hei Tan was a little unhappy. He randomly selected a dozen people and ordered them to row back.
These people don’t want to go, but they have to go. So he sat on the boat with a grimace.
At this time, a smart man suddenly had a burst of IQ and said, "Why don't we let them swim over?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Yes, everyone is proficient in water, why don't you swim over?
This smart man's suggestion simply saved everyone from hard work, so everyone looked at him gratefully.
But at the same time, some people feel that this person is not smart enough. If he could have thought of this when he came, everyone would not be exhausted.
The ink man lit an oil lamp, held it in mid-air, and swayed it toward the other side. Then he covered the light with his hand, making it dim and bright.
This is a coded message. Let the people on the other side swim over.
After seeing the code, the Mohists on the other side expressed their dissatisfaction: "You took a boat over, but let us swim over? What's the point of this?"
They also didn’t know that the oars were made of copper. Not only were they made of copper, but they were also top-heavy and felt like lifting a barbell. So these people kept complaining.
However, Mo Zhe is a group of strictly disciplined people. Since Hei Tan asked them to swim back, they should swim back.
These people went into the water.
This lake is a stream drawn from a nearby mountain. The stream is cold and icy. After swimming for a while, these people felt uncomfortable all over.
By chance, a tall man with long legs suddenly touched the bottom of the lake accidentally.
He was extremely surprised and touched it with his feet, and found that he had indeed guessed the bottom of the lake. So he stood up straight and said to his companions very excitedly: "This lake... is very shallow."
The Mohists who were struggling to swim around stood up tentatively. Sure enough, the water in the lake only reached my chest.
The Mohists feel that their intelligence has been insulted for swimming in such a shallow pool. Isn't this a joke?
But these Mohists soon felt relieved. Didn’t the group of people just row across such a shallow pool? In this comparison, the other party seems even stupider.
So the second group of inkers smiled at each other in a tacit understanding, revealing their white teeth under the white moonlight.
They decided to wade across the water and mock the first group of people with their actions.
As the distance got closer, the two groups of people could already see each other. So this second batch of Mohists walked even more vigorously.
The first group of inkers, led by Hei Tan, saw their companions walking from the bottom of the lake, and their faces all turned red: it was so embarrassing.
At first, they felt a little guilty because they were too lazy to row back and let people swim over. Now the guilt has disappeared and turned into pure embarrassment.
So the first batch of Mohists made an appointment to conceal the problem of the oars. If the second group of people knew that the oar was as heavy as a big copper hammer, and they relied on brute force to paddle in the shallow lake water to exhaustion, it would really make people laugh to death.
Soon, the second group of people will come ashore. They waved triumphantly at the first group. Suddenly, many people showed pain on their faces. A few even sank into the water.
Heitan was startled: "Something happened?"
After a while, the second group of inkers suddenly started swimming, quickly swam to the shore, and then limped up.
Their feet were all bleeding.
Heitan asked: "Is there a problem in the water?"
The second group of inkers all nodded in pain and said: "There are countless broken pottery bowls near the shore. The fractures were sharp and pricked our feet."
Hei Tan said angrily: "Xiangli Zhu, what a deep scheming, what a poisonous trap."
In fact, he completely wronged Xiang Lizhu. These pottery bowls were thrown by the fifty elite soldiers who were ambushing the island. After they finished drinking and eating, they smashed the pottery bowls and threw them into the water. And this behavior was taught to them by Li Shui...
These elite soldiers didn't know why they did this. They just thought Master Huai's proposal was very interesting. It was also good to have a good time after eating. Therefore, this trap is completely unintentional.
The second batch of inkers bandaged the wounds silently, but the embarrassment on the faces of the first batch of inkers was lessened: Fortunately, there were broken pottery bowls at the bottom of the water, otherwise today would be too embarrassing.
After everyone was ready, Heitan whispered: "Xiangli Zhu is full of tricks. There must be many traps on this island. You must be alert on this journey."
The inks around them all nodded.
Heiyun pointed to the winding paths and said, "Should we take the mountain road, or should we just climb up the mountain?"
Heitan thought for a while and said: "There must be traps on the road, be careful. Let's climb the mountain."
Everyone responded and started climbing the mountain.
Soon, they discovered that the soil on the mountain was extremely soft and could reach their knees when they stepped on it.
Heiyun couldn't help but curse: "This mountain looks like a rotten peach."
The inks around him nodded in agreement.
Heitan felt a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that today's assassination operation had many problems, which might be an ominous sign.
He wanted to go back and plan for the long term, but Xiangli Zhu was right above. How could he give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
At this moment, Heitan felt a heartbreaking pain in his soles.
He refrained from making a sound, but muffled cries of pain could be heard from around him.
Heitan bent down, reached out and touched his feet, and felt many sharpened bamboos.
Others also discovered this terrible trap.
Heitan said angrily: "Xiangli Zhu, what a deep scheming, what a poisonous trap."
In fact, he had wronged Xiang Lizhu again. Xianglizhu was completely unaware of this.
These bamboos were cut down and sent to the mountains to build bamboo buildings, but their sharp stubbles were left on the ground.
Later, when the lake was dug, soil was piled on the mountain, burying these broken stubbles. This would have been good, but it rained recently and the soil became loose and soft, so if you step on it, you are likely to cut your feet.
This was a completely natural trap. For Hei Tan and the others to run into it, they could only blame their bad luck.
Heiyun grinned and asked, "What should we do?"
Heitan waved his hand: "Back off."
Of course, they didn't want to retreat completely, but to retreat to a nearby path. They had already seen clearly that the soil on this path was quite hard.
After getting on the path, everyone immediately sat down on the ground, tore their clothes and bandaged their wounds.
The second group of inkers were the most pitiful. They had been bandaged for the second time and their shirts had been torn into disarray. If I get injured again, I'm afraid I'll have to go shirtless.
Heitan looked at the top of the mountain, gritted his teeth and said, "Tonight, if I can kill Xiangli Zhu and get Mozi's relics, everything will be worth it."
The Mohists all nodded. Compared with Mozi's relics, the injuries suffered today are indeed not worth mentioning.
This time Heitan became smarter. He chose ten people to explore the road ahead and made sure there were no traps on these paths. Then he led a large force and followed quietly.
So the group of people divided into two groups, three or four feet away from each other, and walked quietly on the winding path.
Hei Yun suddenly said to Hei Tan: "According to Xiangli Zhu's temperament, in addition to traps, there should be ambushes. Why didn't we see anyone all the way here?"
Heitan also felt a little uneasy. He looked at the house on the top of the mountain and said: "Presumably all the ambush troops were arranged in the inner house. Maybe she doesn't have enough manpower. It would be difficult to defend the entire island."
Heiyun nodded, feeling that this made sense.
At this time, the Mohist who was exploring the road in front sent word that this road was a dead end road.
So the Mohists retreated to the fork and chose another path.
That night, they encountered countless dead ends and went up and down the mountain countless times.
In the end, everyone was out of breath and exhausted.
They now feel like vomiting when they see such a trail, but they dare not take the wild road. Who knows how many traps there are in those soft soil? Who knows besides sharpened bamboo, whether there are broken pottery shards, iron tools, or even venomous snakes?
Finally, Heiyun panted and said: "It's almost dawn, and we are all tired. Why don't we go back and rest for a while, then come back tomorrow. Tonight, let's just explore the road."
Hei Tan gritted his teeth and thought: "Five hundred people coming to explore the road? This is simply the most ridiculous path exploration in the world."
But this trip was really frustrating. He even suspected that, given the current state of the Mohists, if they really met Xiangli Zhu's guards, five of them would not be able to defeat one of them.
Finally, Hei Tan reluctantly said: "That's it, let's go back."
But when the Mohists turned around, they were dumbfounded.
They are gathering on the mountainside. Which way is the way down the mountain? They have passed through countless forks and no longer know which way to go.
Hei Tan said with some despair, "That's it, just choose any road. If we can go up the mountain, we will kill people. If we can go down the mountain, we will leave."
The Mohists all nodded.
This time, every time they took a road, they tied a piece of cloth on the roadside as a mark.
Half an hour later, Hei Tan unexpectedly discovered that they were already very close to the house on the top of the mountain. Walk up another three feet and you can touch the gate of the house.
However, this road was blocked again.
Hei Yun looked at Hei Tan, who gritted his teeth and said, "It's only three feet, let's get through."
The Mohists all nodded. That night, they had really had enough and decided to give it a try.
Heitan took the lead, lying on the dirt and crawling forward. When a person falls, the force-bearing surface is relatively large. As long as the speed is fast enough, he will not sink into the soil.
However, when Heitan crawled, he still had a tendency to sink. Fortunately, the muddy area was only three feet away, so Heitan still managed to reach the gate.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up, and waved to the Mohist behind him.
After Hei Tan said hello to the ink master behind him, he went to push open the two doors. As soon as he took a step, his feet suddenly became empty and he fell into a big pit.
This big pit was filled with lime, and the dust flew up for a while, which fascinated Heitan's eyes.
Hei Tan couldn't see, and he wanted to cry while sitting in the pit. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
