Qinghu has always been cautious, so he asked a few questions from the waiter in advance.
"They are wounded soldiers who came off the battlefield."
"Is he one of ours?"
Qinghu was not sure either.
You must know that this time the Temple Army, in addition to its own army, various supporting families also sent many elites.
And many of them went directly to the front line to join them.
It's normal that they don't know each other.
But Lin Mengya still felt a little uneasy.
Although victory is in sight, there is no guarantee that the rebels will not jump over the wall in a hurry.
She turned around and left the house, called the three brothers who were guarding outside, and asked them to go investigate.
That night, while she was lying on the bed in the inn, she fell into a nightmare.
The dream was filled with mist and countless screams for help, like demonic voices coming from hell.
She wanted to clear away the fog and find the source of the sound, but she was always blocked.
"Who is it? Who is there?"
She asked loudly and unconsciously.
But all the sounds in the dream gradually fade away.
The moment the sound disappeared, she suddenly woke up.
My whole body was dripping with sweat. It was probably because the room was too hot and stuffy, so my chest was still a little tight.
She walked to the window, but the night wind didn't take away much heat.
Outside the door, Qinghu's concerned voice suddenly sounded.
"Girl, are you having a nightmare? Is it okay?"
She covered her chest, took a deep breath, and then opened the door for him.
"Why are you sweating so much?" Qinghu took the cloth and wiped her forehead.
Lin Mengya didn't want him to worry, so she took the towel and said covertly, "It's nothing, it's probably too hot here."
Of course Qinghu knew that she was not completely telling the truth.
It's just that he has become accustomed to her disguised strength and doesn't want to expose it.
He fanned himself with his sleeves and said with a deliberately complaining look, "It's true that it's been too hot these days, which is a bit exaggerated. But fortunately, it will be the beginning of autumn in a few days. You've always been afraid of the cold.
If you are afraid of heat, only spring and autumn can make you feel more relaxed."
Qinghu probably knows these little habits of her life better than she does herself.
Lin Mengya didn't feel sleepy at all, so she pushed him to go to sleep, but he refused.
The two of them looked at each other in silence for most of the night. Finally, Qinghu had a flash of inspiration and suggested, "How about I take you to see what those people are doing now?"
The confused Lin Mengya nodded.
It wasn't until she changed her clothes and quietly slipped out of the inn with Qinghu that she felt that she was so ridiculous.
Fortunately, it was indeed cooler outside than inside the house, so she decided to just go out to enjoy the coolness.
There was no one on the interface, but the two of them unexpectedly saw some people sneaking around He slipped out of another inn.
She remembered that those were the inns that were said to be full.
She was wondering why the inns in the city were doing poorly, but only a few inns in this small town were full.
The two looked at each other and decided to go out and have a look.
These people moved very quickly. After leaving Zhenyi, they went straight to the nearby forest and got into it.
The two of them followed quietly, without alerting the people in front.
Until they followed the people in front and came to an open space.
What shocked her was that there was actually a small army hidden here.
She took a cursory look and estimated that there must be at least a thousand people.
There were so many people, but no one outside noticed it.
Lin Mengya observed that those who sneaked out of the inn seemed to have brought a lot of dry food.
Moreover, those people did not light a bonfire.
This reminded her of a possibility.
She glanced nervously at Qinghu, who patted her shoulder gently, probably wanting to calm her down.
The two of them observed the dressing of these people at close range in the forest, guessing the purpose of each other's actions.
Not long after, they met a soldier who came out to relieve himself.
Without saying a word, Qinghu went over and asked someone to knock him out and drag him away.
Lin Mengya took a deep look at those people and followed Qinghu away.
Qinghu was fairly familiar with the surrounding terrain.
He carried the soldier on his shoulders and led her to an inconspicuous cave.
"You watch him here first, and I'll cover up the traces of our arrival."
Lin Mengya nodded.
She knew Qinghu's skills and was not worried that the soldier would wake up early.
But after a while, she actually heard someone approaching.
Her body suddenly became tense, but fortunately the voice came quickly, and she recognized the person just before she wanted to take action.
"Ada?"
"master!"
The two of them said almost in unison.
Lin Mengya looked at Ada's familiar figure and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"It turns out it's you, I thought I was discovered!"
Ada didn't expect it either.
He followed the group of people who came out earlier and found where these people were stationed.
I was thinking of going back to deliver the news after roughly finding out their purpose.
Unexpectedly, he discovered the movement of Qing Hu and Lin Mengya in the woods.
In order to find out the identities of the two of them, he followed them all the way.
Fortunately it was a false alarm.
Qinghu also rushed back quickly.
Ada took the initiative to guard outside the cave, while Qinghu and Lin Mengya brought people in.
After waking the person up, the person looked at the man and woman who appeared in front of him in a daze, and suddenly turned pale with fright.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"This is a question I want to ask you, who are you? What is the purpose of coming here?" Lin Mengya asked with a stern face.
Although that man was just an inconspicuous pawn, he was clever.
Seeing that the man and woman in front of him were not easy to deal with, he immediately shut his mouth and stared at the two people warily.
"You won't tell me, right? Believe it or not, I will prevent you from ever getting out of here!"
When it comes to coercion and inducement, Lin Mengya is definitely a master.
The little soldier was very stubborn and said firmly, "I don't know anything. You have arrested the wrong person."
She didn't speak, she just looked the little soldier up and down with her eyes.
Judging from his clothes, he looks like an ordinary person.
It's just that ordinary people have absolutely no need to hide in the woods and dare not light a fire for fear of being discovered.
If they weren't retreating, they were here for a sneak attack.
Since this place is so close to the temple, it seems like it should be the latter.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked sternly, "Whose people are you, and you dare to attack the temple? You don't want to live, do you?"
The little soldier suddenly looked shocked when she revealed the secret.
But it also confirmed Lin Mengya's guess.
Sure enough, these people came to attack the temple!
"I don't know what you mean! What temple? I don't know it at all!"
Probably realizing that he had been exposed, the man denied it repeatedly.
But what he faced was two foxes that had become spirits.
Qinghu sneered, stepped forward and pinched the young soldier's neck.
"Do you want to die now, or die with your companions later?"
The little soldier had never seen such a ferocious person like him before. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he even cried a little.
Qinghu snorted coldly and threw the person down hard.
I saw the little soldier shivering, his eyes full of fear.
Lin Mengya felt a little curious. Since they were here for a sneak attack, why were they sent such half-grown child soldiers?
Do you think she, Lin Mengya, can defeat this kind of thing without the protection of a man?
Or are the rebels so desperate? r> Her expression changed, "Now tell me everything you know, and I will spare your life."
The fear of death made the little soldier lose his previous stubbornness.
Listening to his trembling confession, Lin Mengya realized that they were really not trained soldiers.
"We are His Highness Ming's domestic slaves. His Highness has said that he wants us to help him capture the temple."
"Is that all you do?"
Qinghu expressed his disdain to the little soldier at the right time.
The little soldier who was laughed at didn't dare to say anything, so he could only argue aggrievedly, "We don't want to come to die, but our family members are in the hands of His Highness Ming. If we don't come, he will directly execute our family members.
"
Hearing this, she and Qinghu both felt a little more disgusted with that Murong Ming.
One general's success will make all bones dry, but the opponent's methods are too despicable.
"Tell me about your plan." Lin Mengya pinched the bridge of her nose and asked impatiently.
But the little soldier shook his head with a grimace.
"I'm just a little pawn. I only know how to listen to Lord Shen Gong. I don't know anything else."
"Who is Shen Gong?" she asked curiously.
With a hint of awe in his eyes, the little soldier said, "Master Ming Palace said that Lord Shen Gong is a noble being who serves the true gods. As long as we are obedient, we can be resurrected by gods after we die."
Back from the dead!
This was a fact that she couldn't understand, but it was true.
In fact, she has been thinking about whether this "resurrection" is a resurrection in the true sense.
But she knew that anything related to this matter would definitely involve a series of conspiracies.
Little did he know that Murong Ming was also involved in this matter.
Is it possible that he is also the "container" of some old guy?
I am afraid that only Murong Ming himself can answer these questions for her.
After repeatedly questioning the young soldier and confirming that he had no value, Lin Mengya asked Qinghu to deal with him.
The little soldier thought that he was certain to die, so he immediately begged her with tears and runny noses.
"Can you keep my whole body? My mother said that if the body is incomplete, the Palace of Hell will not accept it, so I will never be reincarnated again!"
Lin Mengya couldn't laugh or cry.
Seeing the little soldier crying and leaving with Qinghu, she had to think about how to deal with these thousand people.
Judging from the military strength, the temple will have no problem facing off against these people.
But from the little soldier's words just now, she learned that among the more than a thousand people, most of them were ordinary people like him who had not received professional training.
This is strange.
In the end, what kind of trick is Murong Ming playing?
