Chapter 98: Convincing the Dead (Part 1)
Wang Qiwan had to stop immediately.
Chen Bo thought for a while, rolled his eyes, and said: "Wang Yingling used all his strength. Try pulling to the right."
Wang Qiwan squatted down, shouted, and exerted force suddenly.
Amidst the sound of grinding teeth, a stone door opened, revealing a cave. A rectangular cave was revealed on the original hillside.
The cave is not big, only enough for three or four people to enter.
Wang Qiwan was not very happy and wanted to go in.
Chen Bo shouted again: "Leader Wang, please don't go in. There are people defending inside. And they are all dead soldiers."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "swish" sound, and a sharp arrow was shot out.
Soon, another sharp arrow was shot out, three sharp arrows in a row.
Wang Qiwan hurriedly slashed with his sword, and cut off the sharp arrows in a panic.
Obviously, the people inside already knew Wang Qiwan's identity.
Wang Qiwan has no secret words, so he is naturally an enemy.
If Chen Bo had not stopped him, Wang Qiwan would have been shot in the chest with a sharp arrow.
Wang Qiwan couldn't help being furious and ordered an attack, but Chen Bo stopped him.
He said: "There are hundreds of people defending it."
Wang Qiwan heard that only three or four people could enter this cave.
There were hundreds of people inside, and all of them were dead soldiers.
Obviously, if all these cavalry go in, they will only die if they go in. What's more, their cavalry will also become infantry here.
Zhao Ping thought for a while, nodded and said, "There is probably a lot of property inside, otherwise these bandits would be like this."
Wang Qiwan suddenly remembered a question: "Xiao Langjun, can I use explosives?"
Chen Bo looked troubled and stopped and said: "There is a dragon gate here. They can put down the dragon gate at any time and hide it with the treasure."
Zhao Ping was shocked, there must be countless treasures, otherwise there would be so many dead soldiers to defend, and there would be a dragon gate that could be sealed at any time.
These people did not come out to participate in the attack. They must be people who specialize in guarding the treasure, and they are extremely determined. They have not surrendered yet, and they are obviously determined to die in hiding.
This is a group of dead warriors, and they deserve respect.
But when they died, their belongings were gone.
what to do?
Zhao Ping thought for a while, this cannot be attacked by force.
But what is the best way?
Inside the cave.
This cave is very high and empty. It was originally a natural cave, but it was also artificially built.
Generally, only two people can come in, and it will be very crowded if four people come in at the same time.
If you want to attack here, at most two people can come in at the same time, after all, they have swords and guns in their hands.
Therefore, it is very conducive to defense, and no one has ever attacked.
They thought that the Lord was unnecessary because no enemy had ever come in here.
Even treasures come in and out through their hands, so why worry about enemy attacks?
It is about ten acres in size and three feet high. Due to the adequate ventilation, people feel that they can breathe easily.
Half of the cave stores treasures, and the other half is the living area and combat area.
Obviously considering that they live here for a long time, they are equipped with long-light lamps, tables, stools, bed cabinets, etc., which is obviously more comfortable.
There is no cooking, after all, the air inside is not as good as outside, and it is easy to catch fire.
A generation ago, he was the formation commander (company commander level).
Liu Wei and Feng Yongcheng are the captain (platoon leader level) respectively, and Wen Shuai is the fire leader (class level).
Generations ago, of course, he was the head of the dead soldiers inside.
They are orphans from Fulu and other places in Chengdu. They have been alone since childhood.
When you are a beggar, you often find it difficult to eat enough. If you want to be a beggar, you are afraid of being beaten to death.
A man named Yan bought them all and not only provided them with food, clothing and shelter, but also arranged for people to teach them martial arts.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a benefactor to this group of people.
He often visited Dai Shiqian, Liu Wei, Feng Yongcheng and Wen Shuai. The four of them had very strong feelings for him and unknowingly regarded him as their adoptive father.
For these treasures, the four of them swore that they would have lives to protect them.
Although the life inside was boring, the Lord was a benefactor to them all, so they were all very grateful and did not feel annoyed, but felt that this was what they should do.
Someone just broke in outside without using the code word, and it was obviously not one of them.
Feng Yongcheng, Liu Wei, and Wen Shuai shot their bows and arrows without hesitation.
They heard the sound of sharp knives piercing the air outside. It seemed that the person outside must be a master and cut off all their arrows.
It seems that the enemy has already attacked
Generations ago, with an order, everyone
Outside the cave.
Everyone is too tired and should relax.
So Zhao Ping took out his flute and played "Swordsman".
Everyone couldn't help but stop what they were doing and prick up their ears to listen to this passionate song.
As expected, all of them are soldiers, and they especially like this song.
Zhao Ping was entertaining himself, and at the same time he was playing for the soldiers present. At the same time, it was inevitably transmitted into the cave.
I don’t know how the bandits would react after hearing this. This is Zhao Ping’s key issue.
But there seemed to be no reaction inside.
The sun was getting hotter and hotter. Cuizhu quietly opened the paper umbrella, covering Zhao Ping and herself while looking at Zhao Ping lovingly.
She never liked to talk, she just felt that staying by Zhao Ping's side was a kind of happiness.
This is her prerogative and the mistress agrees. She is a personal maid, so of course she has to be with Zhao Ping anytime and anywhere.
What is Xilingzhu doing?
Not only is she practicing the piano hard, but practicing the piano is monotonous and boring, and she is also subject to private cynicism from Li Hanmei, Jiang Ying, etc., and the young man has very little contact with her.
And what about yourself? He and Zhao Ping almost grew up together.
She suddenly thought of the word childhood sweetheart, and when she thought of this, her face suddenly turned red. She was afraid that people would notice her expression.
Fortunately, no one noticed her, and she had a peaceful smile on her face.
At this time, she was suddenly stunned.
Because Zhao Ping played a piece of music that she had never heard before. The song was actually more passionate than "Swordsman", and it actually made her, an introverted little lady, have the urge to dance with a sword.
This is true for her, not to mention everyone else.
Wang Qiwan couldn't bear it anymore. He pulled out his Hu-killing knife and swung it on the spot, and he swung it faster and faster.
The song finally finished playing.
After he finished waving, he couldn't help but scream loudly.
Xi Xing stepped forward and bowed, and asked: "Little Langjun, does this song have a name? I also want to dance with the sword."
Zhao Ping smiled slightly and said: "It is Taibai's "Xia Ke Xing"."
Xi Xing couldn't help but be stunned.
Because ancient music is full of a leisurely flavor of carefree landscapes, but this one is obviously full of passionate and heroic flavor.
Zhao Ping asked: "Do you like it?"
Xi Xing nodded and said, "I like it."
Zhao Ping said: "Since you like it, you can sing it."
Xi Xing had no choice but to clear his throat.
But he didn't sing well because this was obviously different from what he had done before.
Zhao Ping said: "It doesn't matter. You and I will play again."
Xi Xing nodded sheepishly because the song he started singing did not match the rhythm of Zhao Ping.
After all, he had a certain foundation in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it was much better the second time, which greatly increased his confidence.
After Zhao Ping played for the third time, he finally sang it steadily.
At this time, he finally grasped Zhao Ping's rhythm.
Wang Qiwan couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this, so he put away his Hu-killing knife and started singing along.
He is even worse than Xixing, basically full of mistakes.
He felt embarrassed and wanted to give up. After all, his education was not on the same level as Xi Xing's.
But his voice is louder and rougher, so he should be more suitable for singing this song.
With Zhao Ping's encouragement, Xi Xing corrected his mistakes again. After several repeated exercises, Wang Qiwan was finally able to sing like Xi Xing.
After Wang Qiwan got acquainted with it, he sang a song in front of the cave. Xi Xing was so excited that he couldn't help but draw his sword and wave it.
At this time, Zhao Long led a group of cooks and came to the cave carrying cooked rice and rice.
Before generations, Liu Wei and Feng Yongcheng were all upset.
But this head was so difficult now that he almost wanted to hit the wall.
Contrary to the blazing fire in the cave wall, their stomachs were already empty.
They and a hundred dead soldiers had not eaten for a day, and their food had been cut off since last night.
It is now noon the next day and no one has delivered the meal. Obviously, the outside has been captured.
There are countless treasures here.
Although there are countless treasures, it cannot eat them.
They thought someone from outside was going to attack.
They were ready to defend.
Of course, as death warriors, they are determined to die at any time.
But outsiders gave up after just testing it out.
If the outside world wants to attack this place by force, they will have no choice but to die.
They have no way out, the only way is to put down the stone door and coexist with the treasure.
Although the door of this cave is heavy, the mountain door outside is not useless.
Otherwise, how can it be called a natural hazard?
However, the natural barriers have been captured, and it is obvious that the opponent has a way to break through the stone gate.
But they didn't attack, and the three of them finally felt relieved.
I didn't expect that the song called "Swordsman" was playing outside.
It really makes people's blood boil and makes their hearts surge.
It's a pity that there is no extra space inside, otherwise the three of them would have drawn their swords and waved them around.
But even if there was extra space, they wouldn't wave.
That was just their inner thoughts, because they had to conserve their energy.
At the same time, I was so hungry that I didn’t have much energy anymore.
But there was no end to it outside, and a piece of "Xia Ke Xing" that they had never heard of was played.
What's even more disgusting is that there is also a big man singing loudly.
The song makes them want to escape.
The three of them listened and hummed the tune unknowingly.
Isn’t this song a perfect portrayal of them?
"Three cups of Turanuo will make the five mountains lighter."
The three of them looked at each other. Since they had made a promise, Wu Yue was nothing in front of them.
"Even if the bones of a hero are so fragrant, I will not be ashamed of being a hero in the world."
At this point, the three of them burst into tears.
They surrendered to each other and strengthened their belief in defending this place.
The three of them held hands with each other and drank the mountain water inside.
Although there was no food, there was still water.
"Gulu, Gulu." Helplessly, my stomach was not feeling strong enough to protest.
Not only the three of them were like this, but also the other hundred people inside.
The whole cave was filled with the sound of "Gulu, Gulu" coming and going.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
