Wearing a wild boar skin all year round, Sheluo Mandrill stared at a brick building that looked like a fortress. He couldn't help but admire the abundant material resources of the Huaxu Kingdom. The government offices, prisons and warehouses were almost all made of bricks and stones.
.
Brick firing may seem ordinary, but in fact it involves a country's manpower and material resources. If the mud is poor, the bricks will be overwhelmed after leaving the kiln, making it difficult to build tall buildings and halls. If the brick-firing skills are poor, the brick buildings will not be able to withstand the long-term wind.
Blow the sun.
The Jiuli Kingdom mostly used rocks and giant trees to build shrines. Although some of them were magnificent, many slaves died during the process from quarrying and logging to subsequent construction.
Such a time-consuming process, if the wood and stone are collected carelessly, the materials will be damaged, it will be equivalent to wasting all the previous efforts. It is far less convenient than bricks being fired in batches and used at will.
She Luo Mandrill was born in the White Horse Tribe. Although he is famous in Jiuli Kingdom for his ability to transform into beasts, he is not as ignorant as the beast as the outside world thinks. The White Horse Tribe is a subordinate of the Holy Si Valley, and She Lu Mandrill himself is a subordinate of the high priest.
A capable general.
This time when the Jiuli Kingdom used troops against the Huaxu Kingdom, the Baili tribe advocated conquering the city and expanding the territory of the Jiuli Kingdom. They could not just plunder the population and make them slaves as in the past.
Therefore, after Master Wu Zhen approved Fei Zuosheng's detour attack strategy, Sheluo Mandrill took the initiative to ask for help. With his identity and strength, he assisted Fei Zuosheng in controlling the various witchcraft and Gu masters.
"Why don't you open it?" Sheloman put away his thoughts and looked at the trembling Dantu County civil servant.
"The key to the armory is in the hands of the county captain." The clerk wiped away his sweat: "The villain can't find the Dantu County captain. Maybe he was killed by the general..."
Sheluo Mandrill frowned slightly. He had previously captured Dantu County, but everything was done in a hurry. He personally killed the county magistrate and the guards around him, and did not pay attention to any county captains.
Moreover, after the war, part of the fresh corpses were left to Mengqu's subordinate Cang Bei as blood food, part was given to Miaosuluo to nourish Gu worms, and the remaining part was distributed to the great witches who needed to sacrifice to the gods. So don't expect to find that county man.
Lieutenant's body was found.
Sheluo Mandrill stepped forward slowly and raised his hand to press the door of the armory. He made a hand and chanted a mantra. With a move of his shoulder, the door felt like it was hit by a car. Dust flew around the door frame, and the two Mongolian iron doors were directly shaken off.
The door axis fell backwards.
The civil servant was slightly startled and did not dare to speak. Sheluo Mandrill walked straight into the armory and found that it was very empty. There were only a few weapons on the racks and no trace of clothing or armor in the cabinet.
"Where are the weapons? Where's the armor?" Sheloman was immediately furious. He turned around and walked out, picking up the clerk and saying, "Dantu County is an important transportation town for military supplies. Why is the warehouse so empty?"
"General, calm down!" the official explained hurriedly: "More than half a month ago, Marquis Zhenming ordered that all weapons in stock in neighboring counties be returned to Jianjia Pass."
"Marquis Zhenming? It's him again!" Sheluo Mandrill opened and closed his big hand, pinched the clerk's head with his five fingers, and with a strong squeeze, he crushed his head directly.
Shaking off a blood-stained hand, Sheluo Mandrill rushed to the county government office angrily. Soldiers were rushing around, all kinds of property and miscellaneous items were piled up in the courtyard, and Fei Zuosheng's voice of reprimand could be heard in the hall.
"General Fei." She Luoman looked around the hall. The cabinets and desks were also piled with various documents and documents, which made people feel deeply about the red tape of Huaxu Kingdom.
"Mr. Mandrill." Fei Zuosheng opened his mouth to curse, but when he saw Sheluo Mandrill, he immediately put away his temper and raised his hands to say hello. This close subordinate of the high priest of Shengsigu was not someone he could mess with at will.
"I wonder if the armory has been properly received?" Fei Zuosheng asked.
"The armory has been emptied out a long time ago." Sheluo Man's face was gloomy: "The civil servant who led the way said that half a month ago, Marquis Zhenming ordered the mobilization of all the troops in the treasury, and not even much cloth was left.
Transferred."
Fei Zuosheng was speechless for a moment, and then asked: "Where is that civil servant? I want to ask clearly. There are many corrupt practices among local officials in Huaxu Kingdom. Maybe it is for this reason that they plan to smuggle weapons and weapons to local tycoons.
Expensive, taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits, I have seen it in the past."
She Luo was silent for a while and said: "I killed him conveniently."
Fei Zuosheng's forehead was throbbing with veins. He suppressed his anger and cursed in his heart: "What's the White Horse Tribe? What's the bullshit Mandir? A barbarian is a barbarian. Without the help of civil servants, everything will be difficult to turn around. I'll fucking take over."
What’s the use of having such a Dantu County?!”
Just as Fei Zuosheng was considering his words and planned to explain to the other party how to do things after capturing the city, a soldier hurriedly came outside:
"Oh no, Cangbei is fighting with the people from Wuteng Village!"
"What's going on?" Sheluo Mandrill asked.
"I heard they were fighting over some pregnant woman's fetus."
Fei Zuosheng couldn't stand it any longer: "Lead the way! Don't make any more trouble at this time. Mr. Mandrill will also go with me."
Sheluo Mandrill didn't like the other party's commanding tone, but since Fei Zuosheng was Lord Wuzhen's favored general, he couldn't easily get angry.
The two followed the soldiers and came to a house, which was obviously the home of a wealthy local family. The previous capture of Dantu County was based on surprise attacks, and there was not even a large-scale attack on the city. Many local people only found out that the county seat had changed hands when they woke up, and that many officials below the county magistrate had
and the garrison soldiers were directly killed, leaving no one in the city to make the decision.
Fei Zuosheng had no intention of restraining the soldiers in the first place, so he allowed them to plunder. Naturally, the local people in Dantu County suffered, and the wealthy families were the first to bear the brunt.
As they approached the house, they saw two groups of people standing on either side, facing each other tit for tat. Meng Qu led the group of wolves on the back, and on the other side of the Wuteng Village, there was a tattooed shaman holding a cane, and the black wind was blowing.
Looking around the courtyard, more than a dozen corpses were piled up and down the steps, including men and women, old and young. Among them, there seemed to be a pregnant woman whose belly was cut open with a sharp knife, and the fetus inside was mutilated.
"Everyone, please be patient, be patient, be patient!" Fei Zuosheng didn't bother to look further, and quickly spoke to reassure: "If you need anything, just ask me. There are many residents in the city, why should we hurt each other's harmony for this family?"
"Harmony?" The leader of Wu Teng Village sneered twice: "General Fei, if I hadn't drilled open the city gate with fossil vines, do you think you could have captured the city so easily with a small fire?
Every time a fossil vine is sacrificed, it must be nourished by the pure vitality of the fetus. The vine has a spirit, and if it is not worshiped religiously, maybe the general's blood will be used to water the fertile vine next time. Will we still want to talk about peace at that time?
"
Fei Zuosheng was not from the Jiuli Kingdom and had no tribal support, so he could only apologize and said with a smile: "There is more than one pregnant woman in the city, so I will immediately order someone to look for her."
"What do you know?" Wu Tengzhai's great witch said bluntly: "The nobles are rich in food and drink, and full of vitality. How can they be compared with those poor commoners? The descendants of wealthy people also inherit their nobility. This is the best way to water the fertile vine trees.
Choose! I kindly gave you my wealth, silk, gold and jade, but these bastards insisted on robbing me. Could it be that they got someone’s order to go against our Wuteng Village?”
"Old Ghost Teng, keep your mouth clean." Meng Qu grinned and gritted his teeth. The wolves behind him were ready to attack, licking the blood from the knife, looking like they were enjoying it.
"Am I afraid of you?" The great shaman of Wu Teng Village slapped his cane, and the originally stiff cane became alive and swayed like a snake.
When the tension was at stake, it was Sheluo Mandrill who stepped forward to stop him: "That's enough! The war has just begun, and the outcome has not yet been determined. Are you so eager to compete for credit and rewards?"
"I'm telling you, why are all the big shots missing? It turns out they were fighting for a few pieces of rotten meat." Miaosaluo's voice came from the side, and he saw her sitting on the wall of the courtyard at some point, shaking her feet lightly, Rao
Watching the argument in the courtyard with interest.
When Fei Zuosheng saw this charming Gu lady, he didn't have any thoughts about it. There are many witches in Jiuli Kingdom. These Gu masters' methods are the most unpredictable and difficult to prevent. Those who offend them are often killed quietly.
The poison is poisoned. Once the poison takes effect, the consequences will be disastrous.
"You don't have to be sarcastic." Sheluo Mandrill is responsible for controlling various witchcraft, but even he did not dare to be careless when facing Miaosaluo. While secretly guarding against him, he said: "You only need to release Gu insects to monitor inside and outside the city.
, if there are enemy troops approaching, remember to inform them immediately."
"I haven't seen the soldiers and horses of Huaxu Kingdom yet." Miao Soluo said with a smile and propped up his chin: "But because of your troubles, some people in the city are planning to escape."
"What?!" Fei Zuosheng was shocked: "In which direction? I will immediately lead troops to suppress it!"
"The northwest water gate was led by a few old veterans, leading more than a hundred people, and in the name of giving them wine and meat as a reward, they killed your soldiers who were guarding the water gate of the ship. They are currently untying the mooring ropes." Miao Soluo said with a teasing smile on his face.
He added with interest: "By the way, looking at the skills of these people, maybe they are the former subordinates of Duke Qingming, right?"
Fei Zuosheng's face darkened, and he raised his hand towards Sheluo Mandrill: "Mr. Mandrill, this matter is not serious, please let me handle it myself."
Sheluo Mandrill chuckled and waved his hand: "I hope General Fei can see clearly where he stands and never hesitate."
"Yes!" Fei Zuosheng made up his mind. Even if it was really his lord's old subordinates, he would completely kill them this time and cut off his past.
…
"Quick! Someone in the distance has noticed it!"
On the grain ship docked at the dock, the sails were hurriedly pulled up. However, even if the ship was not loaded with grain and grass at the moment, such a large ship usually needs trackers to pull some distance on the shore before it can sail in the wind. Otherwise, it would take half a day to dock at the shore.
He couldn't move either.
A group of people who wanted to escape Dantu County hurriedly approached the old veterans and said anxiously: "Why can't this boat not move? Didn't you say that this method can definitely escape from the county?"
"It's over, it's over, I saw someone on the shore going to spread the word. Those Jiuli barbarians are going to kill them soon!"
"I blame you all, and I have to run away! Isn't it better to be a submissive citizen? Now that we are on the boat, we can't explain it clearly with a hundred mouths!"
Several gray-haired veterans did not panic. One of them pulled out his saber and nailed it to the deck: "If you don't want to leave, you can get off the ship now!"
"You are seeking your own death, and I will not accompany you." As expected, someone had the idea of retreating on the spot. Regardless of the fact that they had already removed the ship's shore ladder, they climbed over the edge of the ship and jumped towards the pier. When they landed, they heard a cry of pain. It was obvious that they had fallen.
hurt.
The veteran looked over and snorted coldly. Just as he was about to scold him, he heard a soft voice coming from his ears: "Are you ready?"
Several veterans changed their colors when they heard the sound. They didn't know where the sound came from and looked around: "Everything is ready, the water gate has been opened, please ask the immortal to use his magical method!"
"Then sit still!" The thin voice gradually faded away, and everyone felt the ship shaking. There seemed to be something under the water holding the hull, and then there was a majestic wind blowing the sails, driving the ship slowly.
Leave the pier and go through the water gate.
Everyone on the boat didn't know why. When they saw the boat slowly leaving Dantu County, they all thought it was a divine rescue. Their eyes filled with excitement and they knelt down to worship.
"Don't let them leave!" At this time, he heard a loud shout from behind. Fei Zuosheng rushed to the dock with his soldiers. Seeing that the infantry and cavalry were useless, he immediately ordered people to shoot arrows.
But the big ship had already sailed a stone's throw away, and the arrow fell into the waves behind the ship. Fei Zuosheng was furious on the shore, which caused a burst of laughter on the ship.
"I don't know who is an expert from Huaxu Kingdom. You might as well show up for a while!"
In Dantu County, the sound of Sheluo Mandrill came from far away, like muffled thunder in the sky, frightening people.
After searching for the sound, a burly figure could be seen coming through the air, with wild boar fur flying on his body. In the blink of an eye, he flew over half of Dantu County and approached the ship in the air.
Sheluo Mandrill originally planned to let Fei Zuosheng handle it on his own, but Miao Suoluo later sent news, which shocked him and realized that this time the people were escaping by boat, there must be an expert secretly helping them, so he flew over to kill him.
Preventing the people from escaping was secondary. The real purpose of She Luo Man was to uncover the hidden master. He saw the wild boar skin on his back clinging to his body. His body swelled like blowing air, and his muscles were cut like knives and axes. He exerted his supernatural power and headed towards
The deck of the big ship was smashed down with one punch.
But before Sheluo Mandrill could fall, a ray of green light shot from the horizon. Sheluo Mandrill hurriedly avoided it, and a wound was torn open on his shoulder by the green light, but it healed quickly, and his body was extremely strong and vigorous.
"Who?!" Sheluo Mandrill was about to ask, when the green light circled around and struck again.
This time Sheluo Mandrill saw the attack, and a round totem round light appeared behind his head, like a spirit possessed, the divine light burst out, and the green light was captured in the air, revealing his true face.
"Flying sword?" She Luoman saw a short sword trembling like an insect's wings. In his impression, there were not many monks in Huaxu Kingdom who were able to use flying swords. On the contrary, there were sects in Xiong Kingdom who specialized in flying swords.
But at the moment when Sheluo Mandrill was in shock, a thunderous arrow fell from the sky without any warning, directly shattering the totem round light.
Sheluo Mandrill's magic power was broken, his body and mind were shaken, and his energy and blood surged, but he still stood firm with his strong body.
"Leifa?" She Luoman understood immediately and shouted loudly: "Could it be that Marquis Zhenming is here in person? With your identity, why do you hide your head and tail?!"
Sheluo Mandrill waited for a long time, but did not see any response. The dagger broke free and flew towards the distance.
In the direction of the dagger, dark clouds surged rapidly on the skyline, like a roaring ocean, gradually approaching Dantu County.
There were thunder and lightning in the dark clouds, like drums beating and marching on the battlefield, like thousands of troops coming overwhelming the sea.
Sheluo Mandrill was secretly surprised, his eyes were filled with divine light, and he sensed a majestic army of soldiers and horses arrayed on the distant ground. Under the banner, there was a three-story altar, but he saw a man wearing a green shirt with wide sleeves.
With a yellow ribbon hanging from his waist and standing on the altar, his aura reaches the sky and earth, and all things are under his control.
