The two made a plan, and Luo Bing left in a hurry regardless of fatigue.
Murong Fu watched her disappear at the door, and then glanced back at Zhou Qi on the bed, his eyes flickering. Before that, he had always thought that Zhou Qi, Cui Qiu Shan and others were poisoned and captured because of Yu Zhenzi's actions, but there were various signs.
It seems that this is not the case. There may be another "master" behind Yu Zhenzi or in Wu Sangui's army.
For no reason, he remembered the "master" mentioned by Prime Minister Xia Guo. In addition, last night outside the tent where Cui Qiushan and others were detained, he heard the soldiers mention something about "serving the master", and Zhou Qi was taken there.
The place is extraordinary, its level of luxury is jaw-dropping, and the interior decoration of the tent is not like a place where ordinary martial arts people live.
All things considered, this master may not have profound martial arts skills, but he is proficient in all kinds of heresy. It is very likely that he is like Wu Wei, a so-called Taoist practitioner.
Thinking of this, Murong Fu's face suddenly turned a little cold. He didn't know what kind of group they were, but aside from their weird methods, these people seemed to be proficient in another skill, which was cunning warfare.
Formations and military strategies, let’s talk about Wu Wei who guarded Xiangyang. This woman’s ability was demonstrated as early as the battle of Lin’an Prefecture, and later she shined even more brilliantly in several battles in Xiangyang City.
Even a man like Deng Baichuan, who had led the army for many years, felt inferior.
As a result, Murong Fu felt vaguely jealous. After guarding Xiangyang City, he kept her in the city on the pretext of stabilizing the situation and did not let her accompany the army to produce evidence. This was not because he was jealous of talents, but because he was interested in the unknown territory.
, it is inevitable that there will be some awe and vigilance.
This was true for Wu Wei, not to mention the enemy's subordinates. Wu Sangui would have to confront him sooner or later. If the opponent really had such a strange person, it would be best to kill him as soon as possible.
However, all this is still just speculation. It is still unclear whether such a master exists. In addition, Kangxi’s strength is unknown. If it is self-defeating, it is not a good thing to defeat Wu Sangui too early...
Murong Fu thought for a moment, and the murderous intent on his face gradually disappeared, and he returned to his calm and calm look. He pondered for a while and called out, "Qier."
After a while, there was a tremor at the door, and Yagyu Shenghuaqi's figure gradually emerged, bowing and saying, "I'm here, master, what are your orders?"
Murong Fu's eyes flashed, "I have something I want you to do, but it is dangerous. You..."
"Master, please tell me, this slave will go through fire and water, even if you die," Yagyu Shenghuaqi replied without hesitation.
Murong Fu nodded, "Okay, you immediately catch up with Wu Sangui's army and try to sneak into the army to find out something."
Yagyu Shenghuaqi was slightly startled when she heard this, and then asked, "What's the matter?"
"I want you to check if there is anyone special among the diners and staff around Wu Sangui."
"A special person?" Yagyu Shenghuaqi was stunned. This range was quite large. "Does it have any characteristics?"
"Characteristics..." Murong Fu thought for a while, "This person has a transcendent status in the Wu camp. He may be an alchemist or a sorcerer. Wu Sangui's subordinates call him 'Lord of Worshipers.' That's all they know so far. You can act according to your circumstances.
Well, as long as this person really exists, there will always be something different."
"Yes." Yagyu Shenghuaqi responded, turned around and left without hesitation.
But just as she was about to go out, Murong Fu suddenly stopped her again, "Wait a minute."
"Master, do you have any other instructions?" Yagyu Shenghuaqi turned around and asked.
An inexplicable look flashed across Murong Fu's face, "Then Wen Tailai is really dead?"
"Wen Tailai..." Liu Shenghuaqi tilted her head and murmured, as if thinking about who Wen Tailai was. After a while, she nodded uncertainly, "She must be dead. There was kerosene everywhere in the camp at that time. The master's divine fire
As soon as the square falls, it forms a sea of fire, and it is difficult for anyone to escape."
"So Luo Bing just speculated that Wen Tailai was dead and did not see his body?" Murong Fu asked, somewhat dumbfounded.
Yagyu Shenghuaqi didn't know how to answer this, so she had to ask, "How about I go check it out?"
Murong Fu thought for a moment and finally shook his head, "Forget it, that place has been burned to the ground. How can you check there are so many corpses? Besides, whether Wen Tailai is dead or alive has nothing to do with me. You do your part.
That's all. By the way, once the results are found, no matter what, don't alert the enemy, and rush back to Lanling Mountain to meet me as soon as possible."
"yes."
…
After that, Murong Fu lost another amount of real energy to Zhou Qi, and then handed him over to Li Yuanzhi to take care of him. He himself went to find Wen Qingqing, but Wen Qingqing was very busy and had no time to accompany him.
Sons and daughters love each other so much, and a few words, both soft and hard, drove him out.
The frustrated Murong Fu had no choice but to go back to the inn to rest for one night, and left the next day with Zhou Qi and Li Yunzhi in angrily.
It is said that after the Golden Snake Battalion retreated, they did not immediately go south. Instead, they first retreated to Mengyin County to rest for a day. The next day, it was discovered that Wu Sangui had truly retreated, and then they returned to the battlefield to collect their spoils. The Golden Snake Battalion suffered casualties in this battle.
It was quite big, but the harvest was really gratifying. Just the arrows and arrows from the crossbow carts that the Wu army had no time to take away, and the weapons and armors from the soldiers who died in the battle were enough to arm more than 10,000 elites, not to mention the morale of the Golden Snake Battalion was greatly improved after this battle.
Intangible gains such as increasing the number of chips and increasing combat power out of thin air.
A few days later, the Golden Snake Camp army left Mengyin in a mighty manner. The numerous corpses where the two sides fought had disappeared, and there were several more mass graves nearby. This is also a common thing. Soldiers who died on the battlefield
There are often tens of thousands of corpses, so many corpses cannot be processed and transported one by one. They can only be gathered together and buried on the spot.
Originally, no one would set foot in a place like this with mass graves in the next few decades or hundreds of years. However, that night, an uninvited guest came nearby. He was covered in black air, like smoke and mist, and was mysterious.
Extremely, I saw this person leisurely walking back and forth among several mass graves for a while, and finally selected one of them, and suddenly took out several shots with his palms, and there were a few bangs and bangs, and a big hole appeared on the ground, which was buried deep.
The corpse underground was revealed again...
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Murong Fu was already in his own courtyard in Lanling Mountain, sipping tea leisurely. Hong Lingbo stood with his hands lowered in front of him, respectfully recounting the events that had taken place in Lanling Mountain over the past month.
matter.
"So the Japanese are eyeing something in the Golden Snake Camp or Lanling Mountain?" Murong Fu listened to her story for a while, then suddenly interrupted and asked.
Hong Lingbo nodded, "This is what my disciple guessed. Otherwise, how could it happen that so many Japanese people were wandering around the Lanling Mountain area at the same time? It's just that my disciple has something unclear. If the Japanese people are eyeing the Golden Snake Camp, their number will be too high."
There are too few, and there are not many experts. If you are eyeing something in the mountains, why haven't you made any intention of sneaking into the mountains?"
It turned out that during the time when the army left the mountain, the Japanese who had long disappeared from Murong Fu's sight appeared inexplicably near Lanling Mountain.
Murong Fu's face was calm, but for no reason, he remembered the little incident that happened in Lanling Town. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anything special about these Japanese people?"
"What's special..." Hong Lingbo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, my disciples have secretly observed them for a period of time. Their clothing, martial arts skills, and behavioral habits are not much different from ordinary Japanese pirates wandering around border towns.
So that..."
After speaking, he hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." Murong Fu said calmly.
Hong Lingbo then continued, "My disciples once suspected that these Japanese people were originally Japanese pirates who fled to nearby prefectures and counties."
Murong Fu immediately understood what she meant, "You mean, they were suddenly summoned here?"
"This is exactly what I mean, disciple."
After hearing this, Murong Fu's face changed slightly, and after a while he returned to his normal state, "Is there any news about Yagyu Sogan?"
"Master, forgive me. The people from the Blood Shadow Palace reported that this person has completely disappeared since leaving Jinling. Although the disciple has sent a message to the Crystal Palace stronghold to help search for him along the way, his whereabouts have not been found so far."
"I can't blame you for this. Not only is Yagyu Sogan's martial arts unfathomable, but he is also very likely to be proficient in ninjutsu. If he only wants to hide his whereabouts so that no one can find him, even a top master will have a hard time finding his traces."
"Thank you, Master, for your consideration."
"It's nothing. It's just what you said just now. You didn't alert the snake, did you?"
"No, if the master is not here, how can I dare to make my own opinions? I just sent a few people to secretly monitor those Japanese people." Hong Lingbo said obediently.
Murong Fu hummed lightly, not knowing what he was thinking, but suddenly changed the topic, "When did the people from Blood Shadow Palace arrive? How about the incident I told you?"
"Back to the master, the people from the Blood Shadow Palace arrived here not long after the master set off. However, due to the large number of people, in order to avoid attracting attention, the disciple can only temporarily arrange half of the people to enter the mountains and lurk on each hilltop, and the rest
We are still waiting in a secret place outside the mountain, monitoring the actions of the Japanese people." Hong Lingbo replied a little nervously.
Murong Fu was not dissatisfied with this. After all, although Lanling Mountain was at its weakest, it was also at its most vigilant. It was good to be able to arrange for half of the troops to come in. He glanced at her approvingly and chuckled, "
You have done a good job, and it just so happens that things are not calm outside now, so half of the manpower is left as a reserve force for flexible deployment. By the way, is there any news coming from the south during this time?"
Hong Lingbo seemed to know where he meant "the south" and quickly replied, "There is no south. There are only a few letters from Master. Here are the letters. Please see Master..."
As he spoke, he took out a few letters from his sleeve and handed them over.
Murong Fu opened it and took a few glances at it. Apart from the faint and implicit thoughts of longing between the lines, everything else in Li Mochou's letter was just a normal work report, nothing serious.
Then Hong Lingbo reported a few more things, all of which were trivial and insignificant. Murong Fu became impatient after listening for a while and sent her to rest.
