General Cao is in trouble. The superiors have given a deadline and must find this group of robbers as soon as possible. But now, let alone people, not even a dog can be found. Could it be that the other party can't fly?
"Sir, why don't you find some people from the world to take a look?"
A captain suggested.
General Cao: "A man from the Jianghu?"
"Let's find someone to take a look first. If it's the legendary Xu Shi, we can report it truthfully. If not, those people in the world will definitely be able to find out some clues!"
General Cao nodded and praised: "Yes, your method is good, but those people don't listen to military orders at all!"
The captain rubbed it with his fingers and said, "It's not like the above has allocated a sum of money for us, but it can be used for use!"
General Cao: "Okay, then write a notice and post it. Anyone who finds the clue will be rewarded with one thousand taels of gold!"
"yes!"
One thousand taels is not a small amount of money. If you don't spend all day visiting brothels and restaurants, it is enough for many people to live for ten lifetimes, and food and clothing are not a problem.
But the notice was posted for several days, and not a single person came to receive the reward. It seemed as if they hadn't seen it, but the location where it was posted was on the official road, and with so many people coming and going, it was impossible not to see it, unless... …
General Cao: "These gangsters don't even want money!"
Captain: "It's very strange. Generally, it's difficult for people in the world to make money if they don't work. This business is not difficult, so why don't they do it?"
General Cao thought for a long time and said, "Is it because the money is too little?"
Captain: "Ah? Isn't that enough? A whole thousand taels of gold! Enough for the people below to eat and drink for many years!"
General Cao: "Let's increase the reward to one hundred thousand taels!"
Captain: "This...is!"
General Cao's guess was good. Less than half a day after it was posted, more than a dozen people came to accept the notice and went to nine villages to investigate. But what was unexpected was that these dozen people also disappeared.
"What's going on? These people are at least great masters. How come they were defeated? Were they captured or killed?"
General Cao began to be afraid. If even the Grand Master could not defeat this group of bandits, he would be in danger. Although the Grand Master could not fight against the army, it was still easy to kill a general.
"Two hundred thousand taels!"
The reward was increased again. General Cao hoped to attract some sects and doubled the reward. This was the maximum scope he could use. If it didn't work, he would have to go back and collect the reward.
"Leave this matter to us!"
A man in a cloak broke into the military tent and spoke to General Cao inside with some disrespect.
General Cao didn't care too much. After all, these Jianghu people couldn't even control the court, so he was nothing.
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to worry about who I am, just tell me. If we find out this matter for you and arrest the person, can you get two hundred thousand taels of gold immediately?"
General Cao immediately nodded and said: "Yes, this gold is in our army now. If you can handle this matter, you can cash it in immediately, but this matter is not easy! I have lost several Jianghu brothers before, Your Excellency Better think it through!”
General Cao saw that the opponent was so aggressive that he seemed to be able to capture him, so he gave a warning. Firstly, it was a warning, and secondly, he might be able to see how much the opponent weighed.
Suddenly, the saber worn by General Cao shattered into pieces, and the man remained motionless. None of the dozen or so captains around him saw how the other man acted.
Its identity is obvious.
"Kushi!"
Everyone saluted one after another, and General Cao bowed and said: "Then please take a trip, sir!"
"snort!"
A cold snort made General Cao feel relieved. After all, Xu Shi was a legend in the eyes of these people.
No wonder he has such a bad temper. It turns out that his identity is here, and it seems that he can handle it properly at this time.
The nine villages are not too big, not too small. The average person's physical strength can walk up to two to three villages in a day. The Grand Master can visit the nine villages, but the search is different. If you want to figure out the problems inside, just Take your time one by one.
Especially if a large palace is dug on the ground, it will be difficult to detect Qi.
Zhang Chong and others walked around the nine villages for a few days and could not find any strange places. They sat on the roadside of one of the villages drinking tea and discussing rumors about the world. They were also itchy about the Cixin Sword Code, but they knew There were so many things involved behind this matter that I didn't dare to act rashly, so I came to earn a bounty while waiting and watching.
In their eyes, this disappearance is not a big deal at all. Except for the previous Qilin Sect, few sects dare to engage in human trafficking. If the Five Holy Lands caught him, they might not even give him a chance to speak out.
Moreover, the sect does not need people to do manual labor.
Therefore, this incident is most likely the work of some bandits. It is not clear what they are doing. It may be to satisfy their desires, or it may be to find some treasure underground, such as gold mines or something. This kind of work requires a lot of manpower to complete.
It's just a matter of time before we catch these people.
The villagers are not in a hurry, because even if they are captured, they may just do some physical work. After the court catches the robbers, they may receive a compensation. From this point of view, they may earn more than farming.
The most important point is that the villagers have never seen anything strange and weird. People who have lived here for many years have never seen any strange people, and they have never heard any unusual movements even in the dark night.
This incident has become a happy event in the eyes of the locals, and they are all talking about finding something weird. After all, two hundred thousand taels of gold is too much, so much that they can fight for it regardless of any danger.
People from nine villages and seven warriors kept searching and rummaged through every corner, but still couldn't find any clues. This made Zhang Chong and others start to worry.
"Could it be Kyushi who did it?"
"It doesn't look good now!"
"Why are Xushi arresting people?"
"Underground mining?"
"Xu Shi can use abilities to mine hundreds of times faster than ordinary people. Why are these villagers used?"
"What's more, what kind of mine is hidden underground that Xu Shi values so much, and he still hides it and digs it secretly?"
"No matter what it is, it's not too strange. The strangest thing is that we have been here for so many days. What do the people hiding here eat and drink?"
"Maybe he stored enough food before taking action, or maybe he used some ability to avoid our search!"
"No matter what your abilities, you can't easily take away so many people!"
"To put it bluntly, illusions and heavenly realms may prevent us from seeing it!"
"The other party is Kyoshi?"
"It's hard to make this money!"
"Do you want to withdraw?"
"Withdraw? Aren't you busy these days in vain?"
"Don't worry, the other party hasn't shown up yet. If someone finds out who he is in the future, we won't be able to get along!"
"That's true. Let's look for it first. If the opponent is powerful, it won't be too late for us to retreat!"
"But how can we find them? We have searched everywhere. Where else can those people hide?"
"Should we find another way?"
"what way?"
"If the opponent is a virtual warrior, he has all kinds of strange abilities. We cannot use ordinary methods and must eliminate the interference of illusions and heavenly realms!"
"Yes, let the villagers stay together as much as possible first and see if they will disappear. If they don't appear, it means that the enemy's ability is easy to see, which is not very clever!"
Some people died, but not completely...
