Ye Qingcheng and his party slowly followed the cavalry group in front and walked into a place similar to a large camp. Their group of Tang soldiers were a little stunned at the moment. They had heard that this was one of the largest granaries of the Khitan people, and they thought it was What a well-defended fortress, but when I saw it, I felt extremely disappointed.
It is said that it is a granary, and there are indeed warehouses for storing grains, but the garrison is camped around these warehouses to form a camp, not the fortress they expected. There are not even strategic defenses such as sandbags and trenches, only very rough-looking fences. A circle was formed around the granary, and it looked as if a cavalryman could jump in with one leap.
But it's no wonder that they have no sense of defense. You must know that this is located in their hinterland. Although it is still some distance from the tooth tent, there is no possibility of a large group of Tang troops coming and going, so they are very relieved. This granary didn't even have a sentry tower. I don't know if the nomads had this habit or if it was simply unnecessary. It would have been impossible for Wang Zhongsi's Shuofang Army to have such a situation.
This made them not admire the leader of the granary garrison at all, but rather despise him. Even the generals guarding the important granary looked like this. Then the so-called "two hundred thousand troops" gathered on the other side of the Sanggan River. It's really a bit ridiculous. A tribe that couldn't even look down on an important granary, what could they use to fight against their majestic Tang Empire?
Just as a group of people followed the team into the camp, dismounted, stretched their muscles, and planned to repair themselves, a messenger suddenly came and said: "Who is Tuoba Xingxiong? On the order of the second master, let Go and see him!"
The messenger spoke in a arrogant manner, and obviously did not take the man named Tuoba Xingxiong seriously. If Tuoba Xingxiong was a normal nomad, with their violent temper, they would have rushed up and beaten this guy up. However, It's a pity that he is no longer himself. They had also heard the somewhat flattering guy mention the identity of this second master on the way here, saying that he was the second son of the leader of the Wilderness Department, with a ferocious nature, a strong body, and a fierce general.
Tuoba Xingxiong looked at Ye Qingcheng who was standing aside with a pleading look. After Ye Qingcheng nodded, he immediately pretended to be angry and shouted: "What kind of person is he Ba Yeya? He dares to let me see him." he?"
"Oh? But I heard that you are here to borrow food?" The messenger looked at him with a sneer, knowing that he did not dare to be presumptuous.
As expected, Tuoba Xingxiong's expression changed. He looked back at the brothers behind him (actually asking for Ye Qingcheng's opinion), and then sighed softly.
When the messenger heard this, he knew that he had compromised. He immediately put on a smile and walked up to him cheerfully and said: "Uncle Tuoba, I am also following orders. I hope you won't be offended. Don't be offended. "
"Humph, lead the way." Tuoba Xingxiong looked very unhappy, so he followed the messenger.
Huan Chenyu looked at his leaving figure, looking a little confused. No matter how much he tried, he could not understand the secret of this puppet insect. If he could understand it, he could apply it to the world of cultivation and cultivate a kind of puppet insect in the future. Being able to control spiritual insects of cultivators is simply unbelievable.
He thought about it for a while, but still lost face and asked secretly in Khitan: "Where did this insect come from? Captain, the more I look at it, the more confused I am. It has an independent mind."
In fact, even Ye Qingcheng was a little puzzled, but unlike Huan Chenyu, he was not very interested in anything so far, and even wanted to study it thoroughly, a bit like a scholar. He didn't think as far as Huan Chenyu did. He was just curious, how could this puppet insect still have its own ideas?
"To be honest, I don't know... This puppet worm was originally given to me by my master Yin Shifei. It was said that it could be used to control the actions of prisoners. Originally, because I had seen rot heart worms before, I thought the level of control I could control was only Like the one in The Walking Dead, I was a little worried when I first used it. After all, it would be very easy to see, but now its effect is somewhat unexpected... And I won't hide it from you, the reason why it is rare is because It can be recycled.”
"Recycle?" Huan Chenyu didn't understand what Ye Qingcheng meant.
"To be precise, if you no longer want to use this puppet, the puppet bug will automatically break away from the puppet's brain after devouring its brain, drill out of his brain, and turn into insect eggs again, waiting for the next order."
"What?" Huan Chenyu coughed. This puppet worm can be used again and again.
"Then why does it need to be controlled by you?"
"When my master gave it to me, he told me to feed it with a drop of blood every day for seven consecutive days before I could recognize it as its master. After that, I kept it in my space ring and almost forgot about it."
Huan Chenyu was speechless. He could not imagine that such a mysterious thing was given to Ye Qingcheng by a mere old Taoist priest. Although he knew that Xunlongmen had some wonderful things, he had never thought highly of Yin Shifei. It was Ye Qingcheng who gave him a good impression of Xunlongmen, but it was Yin Shifei who gave Ye Qingcheng such a wonderful puppet insect. Where did he get it?
At this time, the Khitan people who had previously welcomed them came over cheerfully and said, "Everyone, I have arranged a place for you. Please come with me."
Before entering the granary, Ye Qingcheng expressed to this guy through Tuoba Xingxiong that he wanted to rest in the west warehouse for a while because he was too tired, and secretly stuffed a few pieces of silverware to the guy, and he immediately agreed. , he thought that Tuoba Xingxiong and the others were just too squeamish and didn't want to continue running, so they wanted to rely on them in Xicang. How could he have imagined that this was actually a group of Tang troops rushing to their death.
A group of fifty people led their horses and followed the guy toward the area he arranged. Although some Khitan people occasionally looked at them with curious eyes along the way, no one was surprised that the talisman Under the influence of seal script, their images are now pure Khitan people, no one will be surprised.
"Your Majesty, how long can this talisman seal last?" Bai Quan asked through a telepathic call.
"One to two days, or even longer, because this is already an elementary blank talisman. The effect is much better than the inferior blank talisman I used before, and it should last longer."
"That is to say, at least we have to start making preparations to burn this place down tomorrow." Huan Chenyu also replied.
But one thing made him very happy, that is, there were no fire prevention measures in Xicang. It is estimated that no one had thought about the consequences of a fire. In addition, this was a grassland, so even if a fire broke out, it would not be very large. But they have forgotten that the Tang Army has something that is extremely terrifying when used, that is kerosene, especially the refined kerosene, which is a terrifying military weapon. It is really suitable to use it on Xicang. but. And their team just happened to bring some, not only for fighting, but also for burning Xicang, it was definitely enough.
