"squeak......"
The chirping of summer insects has gradually become noisy and annoying, and the sound is quite regular, especially around noon when it is the most noisy and painful.
Fortunately, this kind of bug doesn't make noise at night, otherwise it might be exterminated by human medicine.
"Hmm..." Shen Hao took a large sip of the medicinal tea in the cup and frowned slightly. The tea was not very refreshing and bitter, but it also numbed the tongue. The taste was very weird. It's a folk remedy given by Yu Qiao's mother-in-law's family, saying it can increase a man's vitality and give birth to a boy. So Shen Hao was forced to drink a pot every day. If he didn't drink, he would cry non-stop.
The key is that after drinking this stuff, there will be a faint medicinal smell on the body, which can be used to judge whether Shen Hao is cheating or not. So Shen Hao now treats tea as medicine. .
Wang Yiming and Wang Jian, who stood in Lord Shen Hao's room and watched Lord Shen frowning while drinking tea, were not worried about Lord Shen's worries, and they had no intention of guessing, because at this time they had more troublesome and important matters occupying their minds.
"Sir, what do you think those evil monks are doing?" After Wang Yiming made a detailed report on the situation of Xuanqing guards and military units from various places in the past half month, he finally paused to express his doubts.
In the last half month, most of the evil monks who were wreaking havoc in various places suddenly disappeared. Some villages and towns that were once fiercely contested have not seen any trace of evil spirits and evil monks for nearly a month. So much so that the local people hugged each other and cried with excitement, praying for stable days to come again.
It would be fine if this situation only happened in one village or one town. The cultivators who could be considered evil are now also adjusting their power distribution. But almost all the places in the Jingjiu Dynasty that had been fighting for attack and defense for nearly two years now became strangely quiet.
Is this cowardice? Even the most optimistic person would quickly dismiss the idea. Even if a group of lunatics die, they are unlikely to give up. What's more, under the leadership of the Black Flag Battalion, the Jingjiu Dynasty has taken back part of the defense of villages and towns, which has squeezed back the scope of activities of the evil monks a lot. But at best, it's a 50-50 situation, and even if you calculate carefully, the evil monks can still have an advantage.
In this situation, even if you have to give in, you won't be able to do it now, right?
What is the evil monk doing? Are you planning another underhanded trick? This is also the important matter that Wang Yiming and Wang Jian came to report to Shen Hao today. The previous incident of thunderous imitation of the Red Devil had left a psychological shadow on them, and now they felt nervous when they saw the evil monks not playing their cards according to common sense.
Why did Wang Jian and Wang Yiming come together? This is because Wang Yiming and Wang Jian have already compared the information in their hands with each other. Neither party has come to any reliable conclusion about the strange behavior of the evil monk, so they simply came together in the hope that Master Shen can make an idea.
"What was the reaction of Jun Wu and Xuan Qing Guard?" Shen Hao did not answer, but continued to ask.
"My lord, Junwu and Xuanqing Guard are not acting rashly at the moment. They are also investigating, but they haven't found any clues."
Shen Hao nodded when he heard this. This is not like fighting in the ordinary sense, where the enemy retreats and we advance. It is really strange for the evil monks to suddenly stop and move, so it is best to wait and be vigilant for the time being.
"What about Blackwater? Have the spies discovered anything recently in those villages and towns?"
Wang Jian also shook his head and said: "Sir, the news returned by spies from all over the country is similar, and no valuable information has been found. Those evil monks seem to have disappeared suddenly. From three to two days ago half a month ago, from time to time He came out to cause trouble, and as of yesterday, he has never been seen again."
disappear? Shen Hao put down the teacup in his hand. I muttered "Interesting" in my mind.
It is impossible for a living person to disappear. Either run away or hide. Only when the dead are skinned, deboned, eaten and wiped clean will they disappear.
If the information in Shen Hao's hand is the same as that of Wang Jian and Wang Yiming, he might be as clueless as them at this moment, and at the same time eager to know what the evil monk is planning to do next, and whether he is really planning something. Bullshit conspiracy.
"Observe for a few days, don't mess up our own position, push forward as we should, take it easy, don't be confused by the opponent's movements.
However, as the villages and towns in the back gradually take over the defense, they must also keep up with the screening. Regardless of men, women, old or young, even a dog or a pig in the village must be sifted through the Dharma plate. And it is necessary to form a regular basis and carry out surprise inspections from time to time. "
"Sir, are you worried that those evil monks pretending to retreat are actually digging holes for us?" Wang Yiming reacted quickly and understood what Shen Hao's arrangement was aimed at.
"Just be prepared."
"The rest..."
"Don't be nervous about anything else. Just be steady and don't leave any flaws." What advice can Shen Hao give? What he knew in his heart could not be fully revealed to Wang Jian and Wang Yiming, so he warned them not to rush forward and not to take it lightly. For the rest, just take it step by step and there is no need to rush.
When Wang Jian and Wang Yiming heard what Shen Hao said, they stopped talking and each bowed and left. During this period, not only them, but all the people who were considered Shen Hao's confidants were working hard on errands, for fear that something would go wrong and leave a bad impression on Master Shen. What if Master Shen comes up in the future? What should I do if I don’t support you anymore?
The public house became quiet again. Shen Hao picked up the tea cup and took another sip. The strange taste made him feel refreshed. At the same time, he was communicating with Bai Wu in his mind: "Senior, what do you think about this matter?"
"Me? Don't you already have an idea? I actually have the same idea as you. In the past few months, you have relied on signing employment agreements with the sect to attract a large number of monks who are knowledgeable about evil spirits to join the Black Flag Camp. , has seriously affected Lang San's arrangements in Jingjiu Dynasty. The chaos is being eliminated by Zhun Jian, which is not a good thing for him, which means that he wants to continue to grow "crops" by relying on Hongsha It is very likely that you will cut it off directly, and there may not be any harvest by then. So it is not impossible to gather the harvest in advance and harvest it when it is good."
"Yes, I do think so. If I were Lang San and saw that the situation was starting to change in a direction that deviated from my plan, and I didn't have the strength to correct it for the time being, it would be better to just withdraw. But isn't it too early? Too much? He could launch a crazy counterattack and leave a mess behind.
Nowadays, things are calm everywhere, and this is not right no matter how you think about it. "
"There is something wrong. But it makes sense. After all, Lang San is asking for a "harvest" and does not really want to kill people for fun. Since he sees that his plan cannot be fully accomplished, it is not impossible to simply retreat. ." Although Bai Wu admitted that Shen Hao's doubts were reasonable, he still gave his own explanation.
Then Bai Wu said: "Besides, the next opening of the underground palace is approaching, and he is afraid that he will start to explore you."
