There is a deep well hidden somewhere halfway up the mountain. Unless someone is familiar with the situation in the mountain, it would be difficult to find such a well among the dense trees.
At this time, Zhong Wenzheng and Shisanniang were standing side by side by the well, whispering.
"Sister, is this the water source for the soldiers of the Fulong Empire?" Zhong Wen stretched his head and looked into the well, only to find that it was so dark that he couldn't even see the bottom at a glance.
"Yes." Thirteenth Niang nodded and said, "We are lucky. There are no active springs on this mountain. All the drinking water for the soldiers of the Fulong Empire comes from this well."
"Such an important water source is left unattended?" Zhong Wenqi said, "It's unscientific."
"Of course there is." Thirteenth Niang sighed and said with a little helplessness, "The guards were well hidden. If Brother Gou hadn't detected it with the perception of a heavenly wheel master, he might have been hidden from them. Now,
Both sentries were knocked unconscious by Brother Gou and are lying behind the shade of the tree."
"Sister, our purpose is to drug the other party without anyone noticing." Zhong Wen scratched his head and said, "If the person who comes to fetch water finds that the sentry is missing, won't he be involved in the crime?"
"We were negligent." Thirteenth Niang said with a hint of apology on her face, "You are proficient in medicine. Do you know that there may be drugs that can make the other party lose part of his memory?"
"Even if there is such a drug, it is difficult to control it so accurately." Zhong Wen shook his head, glanced at Thirteenth Niang and said, "Sister, you'd better take me to see those two sentries first."
"Follow me." Thirteenth Niang nodded, and walked towards the woods on the side first. Her figure was graceful and graceful. Zhong Wen followed closely behind. She only felt that it was a pleasure to watch, and the depression in her heart disappeared unconsciously.
Most of it.
Not long after walking, the two came to a thick giant tree. They saw two soldiers wearing Fulong Empire armor lying under the tree. Their faces were slightly pale, but their breathing was very even. It could be seen that they were just
He was knocked unconscious but was not seriously injured.
"That's them." Thirteenth Niang pointed at the two people on the ground.
"Where's Brother Gou?" Zhong Wen looked around and released his consciousness at the same time, but found no trace of Gou Datong.
"Brother Gou knows that he made a mistake and is ashamed to see you. Now he is waiting at the foot of the mountain." Thirteenth Niang shook her head helplessly, with a hint of guilt on her face again and said, "Zhong Wen, do you have any way to remedy this?
"
"Yes, there is." Zhong Wen pondered for a long time before he said hesitantly.
"Do you need me to avoid it?" Thirteenth Niang was alert and reacted quickly.
"No need." Zhong Wen stared at her beautiful face for a long time and said slowly, "We are already grasshoppers on the same rope now. I should let my sister know what I have done so that you can rest assured. However,
No matter what I see later, I ask my sister to keep it a secret for me."
"That's natural." Thirteenth Mother patted her plump chest and said firmly.
Zhong Wen smiled at her, and then walked slowly to one of the Fulong sentries. Unexpectedly, a golden needle appeared in his hand, and he gently pierced the man's neck.
After just a few breaths, the Fulong sentry slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
"Who are you……?"
The first thing that came into the sentry's sight was Zhong Wen's delicate face. He was stunned and was about to ask when he suddenly felt a strange light shining in the other person's eyes. There was a "buzz" in his head and he lost consciousness.
"What's your name?" Zhong Wen asked softly.
"Zhao Si." The gap in cultivation was too big. The sentry had no resistance in front of Zhong Wen's "Soul Capturing Technique" and answered honestly.
"What is the name of the sentry next to you?"
"Liu?."
"What are you doing here?"
"Guard the water source."
…
"When do they usually come to fetch water?" After talking like this for a while, Zhong Wen finally asked the key point.
"Once every day at Chen time and Shen time." The sentry replied without hesitation.
Zhong Wen looked up at the sky and saw that Shen Shi had passed. He knew that he had missed the opportunity that day, so he was not angry. He then said to Zhao Si: "You will fall asleep next. Remember, when you wake up, everything will be normal."
, no one has been here."
"Yes, when I woke up, everything was normal and no one had been here." Zhao Si replied calmly.
"Very good, go to sleep." Zhong Wen patted his hands lightly, and Zhao Si fell to the ground with a plop and fell into a deep sleep.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Wen used the same method on another sentry, Liu?
After the two of them fell asleep again, Zhong Wen stood up, raised his hands and stretched, turned to look at Thirteen Niang behind him and said: "Sister Thirteen Niang, please help me to help these two people."
Move back to the well."
But Thirteenth Niang's face was full of shock, and she looked at Zhong Wen with extremely complicated eyes, with half surprise and half fear: "Zhong Wen, you, what did you do to them?"
"This spiritual skill is called the 'Soul Capturing Technique'." Looking at her face, Zhong Wen couldn't understand what this beautiful sister was thinking. He smiled bitterly and touched his nose and said, "It can control weak minds and shallow cultivation.
people’s minds.”
"You, you..." Thirteenth Niang's voice was slightly trembling, she hesitated to speak, her eyes wandered, but she didn't dare to look into his eyes.
"Except for a traitor in the palace of the imperial princess, I have never used this magical skill on any woman." Zhong Wen knew what she wanted to ask and answered first.
"I'm sorry, sister knows I shouldn't doubt you." Thirteenth Niang gradually calmed down, and the look of guilt on her face became even stronger. "It's just that this ability is too terrifying, so I can't help but have doubts."
"I understand." Zhong Wen said very magnanimously, "If it were me, if I knew that my mind might be controlled by someone, I would probably react much more violently than you."
"If you think about it carefully, our Thirteenth Peak is considered weak in the Liangshan area." Thirteenth Niang came to the two sentries, helped Zhao Si up, and carried him on her shoulders, "If you really want to use this soul-stirring
If Dafa can control a certain village leader to work for you, he will not choose me who only has the cultivation of the Earth Wheel."
"Sister, what you said is wrong." Zhong Wen said with a smile, "Instead of choosing a charming beauty like you, why should I choose a slovenly and rough man? Besides, with my sister's wisdom, even if I choose the other seventeen village owners
If they are bundled together, I would not be willing to exchange them."
"You have deceived the hearts of many girls with your mouth." Thirteenth Niang smiled, turned around and helped Zhao Si walk towards the well.
Zhong Wen also picked up Liu? and followed closely. The two placed the sentry by the well and smiled at each other. The grudge in their hearts had gone away five or six times.
Zhong Wen took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a dozen small blue pills, kneaded them into fine powder in his palms, and slowly sprinkled them into the well.
It wasn't until all the powder was put in that he clapped his hands together with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"What to do next?" Thirteenth Niang asked, "Do you want to go down the mountain first and come back tomorrow?"
"This medicine will take effect after Xu's hour." Zhong Wen shook his head, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and walked towards the well water. "To make sure nothing goes wrong, I will stay here tonight to prevent anyone from sneaking over to get water before Haishi."
, exposed our plan.”
"Then I'll stay too." Thirteenth Niang nodded slightly after hearing this.
"Sister has traveled a long distance and searched in the mountains for a long time. You must be tired now." Zhong Wen said with a smile, "It's better to go down the mountain and rest for a while. You don't have to stay with me here."
"No, I'll stay." Thirteenth Niang shook her head, pretending to be relaxed and said, "It's just an open-air rest at the bottom of the mountain. It's not as cool as here. Women get too much sun, which is not good for their skin."
Zhong Wen took a deep look at her, knowing that there was a gap between the two of them. Thirteenth Niang stayed here mostly to express her sincerity to him. She did not expose it, but just laughed and said: "How can I spend the night in this deep mountain and old forest?"
With a fairy-like figure like my sister by my side, I am not lonely."
"You won't get much benefit from complimenting an old woman like sister." Thirteenth Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and rolled her eyes at him charmingly, "Let's go while these two people haven't woken up yet."
"If my sister is an old woman, how can there be such a young woman in this world..." The two of them were walking and laughing, and soon disappeared into the woods.
…
While chatting, Shangguan Junyi once told Zhong Wen that Xiqi Province was the place closest to the sky in the entire Daqian Empire.
Zhong Wen lay flat on the thick branches of a big tree in the mountains, looking up at the bright stars above his head, feeling that these words were true.
The stars in the sky are like shining diamonds, and like dazzling silver lamps, densely filling the endless night sky.
Occasionally, a shining meteor will jump out from the Milky Way, like a drop of water splashing from the river, across the dark blue night sky, and fall silently toward the back.
No matter in his previous life or this life, Zhong Wen has never appreciated the starry sky as seriously as he does now.
Looking at the stars that seemed so close at hand, as if he could reach out and pick them off, his mind became extremely peaceful. His worries about Lin Zhiyun and others who were fighting on the battlefield, as well as his longing for the three confidants, were reflected in the beautiful scenery in front of him.
With the comfort, I couldn't help but feel relieved a lot.
"What a beautiful starry sky." A graceful figure appeared on the branch next to him, with a soft and deep voice that was intoxicating. "It's been a long time since I've enjoyed the night view of the mountains like this."
"Sister has been living in Liangshan. If you want to see the stars, don't you have to raise your head to see them?" Zhong Wen's eyes swept over the exquisite curves of the Thirteenth Niang beside him, and then returned to the sky again.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. In terms of force alone, the Thirteen Peaks are extremely weak among the Eighteen Villages in Liangshan. They were able to gain a place in Liangshan and even sneak into the upper reaches by maneuvering among big forces such as Song Hai and Yao Bei.
In order to maintain the balance of the situation, even my sister's beauty as a woman had to be used." Thirteen Niang sighed, "At that time, I was racking my brains for the survival of Thirteen Peaks all day long, so there was no leisure time.
Enjoy the night sky.”
"With my sister's talent, if you are not happy, just leave Liangshan." Zhong Wen asked puzzledly, "Why do you have to stay in the village and work hard?"
"The old village owner of Thirteen Peaks is my sister's adoptive father." Thirteen Niang explained, "My sister has been an orphan since she was a child. If she hadn't been taken in by her adoptive father, she would have starved to death in the mountains. My father entrusted Thirteen Peaks to me when he died.
, how can my sister bear to leave?"
"Sister values love and righteousness, and I admire you." Zhong Wen sighed sincerely, "It's no wonder that the brothers in Thirteen Peaks are so convinced of you."
While he was talking, he suddenly took out a roasted rabbit leg from nowhere, handed it to Thirteenth Niang, and said with a smile: "Sister, you have been working hard for a long time, let's have something to eat."
"Is this...?" Thirteenth Niang didn't show any pretense. She took the rabbit leg and took a bite. She felt that although it was cold, it was still tender and delicious.
"I had a meal of rabbit meat with that silly girl from Jiang Yushi during the day." Zhong Wen replied, "I roasted too much, so I kept some with me."
"Hey, my sister is a bandit after all, so she can't be compared with a famous lady like Miss Jiang." I don't know if it was because the previous conversation had narrowed the distance between the two, but Thirteenth Niang actually made a rare joke, "It's just that
I can chew the leftovers from Miss Jiang."
Zhong Wen: "..."
