"Supplies." The man said, "As you just said, he and his men are also made of flesh and blood. The range of an army's activities is the range within which it can obtain supplies."
"Yes, Bai Qi was born in the army, so he knows the restrictions of the army. The men and horses of the Black Armored Army have to eat and rest." Bai Ziqi further said, "In fact, it is not easy to support such a heroic cavalry army. Logistics and supplies,
Which one is easier to do, medical wound medicine or concealment? Especially in the later stage, the Black Armored Army's team and number have increased significantly, and the pressure on logistics and concealment must have increased greatly. When they are not on missions and do not kill people, they will definitely
They don’t wander around in black armor, so what do these people usually do for a living? Why don’t they attract attention when a thousand or two thousand people gather, and there is still a place to eat and heal their injuries?”
Bai Qi immediately said: "Perhaps it is an army formed by local powerful people?"
"It's not impossible. But to lead elites to act like this, their leaders shouldn't be unknown people."
He pointed to the red dots on the map: "These red dots delineate the range of their presence. In other words, they can obtain supplies within four days' journey. Considering that their actions must be very secretive, the less people can see them, the better.
This range can be narrowed down to one day’s journey.”
After finishing speaking, he drew red circles with the red dot as the center: "The strongholds where the Black Armored Army obtains supplies and exchanges for regular uniforms are roughly within the scope of these red circles. As long as we find out what villas are within these red circles,
, forces, or even business organizations, can screen out targets."
Bai Ziqi paused and then said: "The fact that they have been hiding for so long shows that the cover is very comprehensive. We are new here and may not be able to detect them immediately. It is best to cooperate with local forces."
This is not Bejia. He cannot rely on the Heavenly Palace to mobilize endless resources.
There are many clues that need to be investigated personally.
However, the dozen or so actions in which the black dragon mark appeared are recited everywhere in the Golden Flash Plains, so the time, place, and process of the incident are not difficult to obtain. There are even special songs, scripts and ancient narratives about Emperor Jiuyou.
Fengzi. Which teahouse in Julu Port talks about ancient times and does not include the deeds of Emperor Jiuyou? Bai Ziqi listened to it for many days. Although he felt that it was exaggerated and distorted, he understood the basic facts.
Bai Qi also said: "There are many temples in the Shining Gold Plain. It is not difficult to find them for information."
The little demon in the temple is very powerful.
There are many small gods and wild gods in the Golden Plains, and there are also many gossips. The believers are mixed and deeply rooted in the countryside, and they know the local situation best.
"This is a good idea, Bai Shisan, you can lead someone to do it."
Bai Shisan agreed.
Bai Ziqi held his chin and looked at the map: "When we were collecting clues two days ago, Bai Qi said that the Jiuyou Emperor is not very powerful, and basically only picks weak persimmons."
Bai Qi blushed: "My subordinates are speechless."
"No, what you said is basically correct. Although the goals of his more than a dozen actions can be called heinous crimes, they do not have any tricky ideas. This is a very smart approach. On the one hand, he will quickly gain fame, and on the other hand, he will try his best to
Reduce your own losses. But there are exceptions, that is -" Bai Ziqi pointed to a small dot on the map, "Kill Xue Zongwu, Qi Yunsheng takes action this time!"
"These two people are not only profound in cultivation and powerful in force, but they are also important figures in the Yao Kingdom. Especially Xue Zongwu, who had a heavy army and hundreds of guards on the day of the incident, was actually killed in his father-in-law's home. That night, Qi Yun
The Xiaotao Mountain Villa in Sheng was bustling with people and guests." Bai Ziqi mused, "I want to know why Emperor Jiuyou went out of his way and faced such a difficult nail to pull out?"
Even from his point of view, Xue Zongwu was a tough idea. Why did Emperor Jiuyou choose Xue Zongwu as the target to kill?
What benefits can he gain from the deaths of Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng?
The waiter asked: "Is it because Xue Zongwu is powerful and famous, and killing him can best increase the momentum?"
"Of course this is one of the reasons, but it is not sufficient." Bai Ziqi's eyes were serious, "The risks and rewards are not directly proportional."
"Let's connect it in time. Suppose Emperor Jiuyou showed his face for the first time in Lushan, and the second time in Liuping and Shizhoutou. What about the third time?"
The waiter immediately found out the remaining sixteen Black Armored Army action times for him and connected them in order with black lines.
With such a mark, everyone understood clearly. As Bai Ziqi said before, Emperor Jiuyou's actions were basically centered in the central and eastern part of Flash Gold.
"Emperor Jiuyou's last action was more than two months ago -" the waiter recalled the last stroke, "it was Xiaotao Mountain Villa in Yao Kingdom!"
"He entered Yao Kingdom, went to Mangzhou to kill people, and then disappeared." Bai Ziqi stroked his chin, "Why did he stop? Is he busy with other things? Is there anything better than what he claims to be doing for heaven?
more important?"
The black-armored army on the Golden Plains and the rebel movement were still in full swing. But in Bai Ziqi's view, they were all cover.
In order to cover up the true whereabouts of Emperor Jiuyou.
"After killing Xue Zongwu, what did Emperor Jiuyou do?"
As long as he understands this reason, Bai Ziqi feels that he will take a big step closer to the truth.
Of course, now he had to turn back and go to Baimao Mountain.
…
From Shizhoutou to Baimao Mountain, Guide Liu took Bai Ziqi and his party to take a shortcut, saving two days.
Fortunately, the security along the way has improved slightly. More than half a year ago, Guide Liu would never have dared to deviate from the official road.
Along the way, Guide Liu also described to Bai Ziqi the vivid history of the change of dynasties in the country overnight.
Bai Ziqi had heard a little about it before, but now he knew all the details, and he listened with gusto.
The money spent on hiring a guide is well spent.
When it was mentioned that You Enguang united with practitioners from many places to attack the royal city, and King Fan was unable to fight back, Bai Ziqi accidentally said: "By the way, you said before that King Fan has a general manager named Nangong Yan who is in charge of the imperial guards.
Army, killing people like hemp?"
"That's right, I was domineering in Xuncheng, killing people without blinking an eye, and could stop children from crying at night." Guide Liu nodded repeatedly, "I used to do a small business in Xuncheng, and I accidentally offended a feather guard, so I was so scared that I ran away overnight.
My companion took a step too slow and was taken away, never to be seen again."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "His army is very powerful?"
"Ah yes, it is said among the people that if Nangong Yan hadn't died suddenly, King Wei might not have been deposed so quickly." Guide Liu said, "When I heard the news of Nangong Yan's death, I couldn't believe it for several days.
But people around me started burning incense and were very happy."
"How did he die?"
"The one who was killed."
"Who has this ability?"
"I don't know. Nangong Yan died at the border. I heard that dozens of people were hanging on the wall all night, and they were only discovered in the morning. There was also a sign on the wall, saying something like "heinous crime, deserved death, etc."
Bai Ziqi just asked casually, but when he heard this, he paid attention: "He died suddenly for no reason, and was hung on the wall. There was a message on the wall? Why does it sound like the method of Emperor Jiuyou?"
"Well, a lot of people have been saying the same thing recently. Could it be that Nangong Yan was killed by Emperor Jiuyou? The emperor specializes in killing traitors and evil, and Nangong Yan is completely consistent. And besides Emperor Jiuyou, who else
Can you kill this evil man by force? Nangong Yan always has dozens of feather guards with him at all times. In the past, someone tried to plot against him, but he killed him and skinned him alive."
Guide Liu added: "Actually, in the border town we passed earlier and the royal capital Xuncheng, there were many people offering memorial tablets to Emperor Jiuyou to thank him for killing Nangong Yan."
Bai Ziqi murmured: "It seems that the country of Fan was the scene of the first crime."
"Huh? What?" Guide Liu didn't hear clearly.
"You said at that time that Nangong Yan rushed out of the pass with his men and ordered the city gate to be closed tightly and no one was allowed in?"
"Yep."
"Then who is Nangong Yan chasing?"
Guide Liu shook his head: "I don't know. There are a lot of people coming and going."
"Closing the city gate is probably because he is afraid that the person he is chasing will turn back and flee back into the city." Bai Ziqi said immediately, "In this way, Nangongyan's target had just left the city at that time! He wanted to catch up with the opponent, capture or capture him.
kill!"
Guide Liu said in shock: "You, you mean, the target that Nangong Yan was chasing at that time was Emperor Jiuyou!"
Is this possible? Is it possible? Guide Liu found it incredible when he thought about it.
If Nangong Yan really smashed into the hands of the God of Death, then he deserved to die without a burial place.
"Either he was chasing Emperor Jiuyou, or he was chasing someone else, but was intercepted and killed by Emperor Jiuyou on the way." Bai Ziqi asked, "Didn't the pedestrians outside the city hear or see the fight between Nangong Yan and others?
?”
"If this had happened, it would have been spread a long time ago." Guide Liu said, "I heard that there were very few pedestrians outside the city at that time. Afterwards, I went out to the city to inspect and found that the battle scene was not only bloody, but also trees and rocks. Oh.
, in the dense forest on the outskirts of the city, less than three or four miles away from Guancheng. I guess the mountains and forests are too dense, and the sound cannot reach the city."
When entering Xuncheng, the capital of Peng Kingdom, Guide Liu only showed a token, making customs clearance and accommodation in Xuncheng extremely convenient.
This token comes from Changlong Martial Arts.
Bai Ziqi asked him casually: "When did Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and Changlong Martial Arts gain privileges here?"
He had known that You Enguang's coup to seize power was supported by Mou State. The Yangshan Islands have a very good relationship with Mou State, so it is not surprising that they have gained some commercial convenience here.
Guide Liu thought for a while: "It seems like... it won't be a few days after the new king establishes the country."
"Just after the founding of the country, Yang Shan received preferential treatment?"
"Yes, yes. I remember that less than seven days after the country's name was changed to 'Peng', products of praise of Shan appeared on the market, and the big ships in Julu Port also set sail one after another, all coming and going in praise of Shan.
"
"Well, so soon?" The new country has just been established, and there are so many things going on. Even if it is a small country, there are important state affairs that need to be dealt with a few days before the new king takes office, such as taking over power, maintaining stability, dividing work, rewarding people, issuing orders, etc.
Do you want to pay attention to a foreign businessman?
Unless...unless the business privileges assigned to Yang Shan are also part of the reward.
Did Yang Shan participate in the coup d'état of the country?
