"There is indeed something wrong with these people! Almost all of them are puppets controlled by Gu insects!"
Lin Tian frowned slightly.
The little white fox hiding in his arms kept whimpering lowly as a warning.
From this point of view, it seems that Fang Yunshan is not lying, and the barbarians are indeed planning a conspiracy to attack Red Stone Castle.
If this is successful, the war situation in the north will be greatly affected, or even defeated. When the Great Wall is broken and the barbarians invade the Chu Kingdom, life will really be in ruins.
Furthermore, the saber-toothed tiger bones that Lin Tian needs are still in the caravan, and he must find a way to get them back.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Lin Yu asked softly.
When Lin Tian heard this, he shook his head and said nothing. He just looked at Fang Yunshan next to him.
This middle-aged man with a tough temperament bent down at this time, and said with a hint of pleading: "Mr. Lin, I know you have nothing to do with this matter, but Red Stone Castle is related to the entire northern war situation. If it is
If it is broken, not only the 800,000 soldiers guarding this place will be slaughtered by the barbarians, but the people of Chu State will also not escape the disaster!
I also ask you to be compassionate and help me out of justice!"
Of course Lin Tian also knew the serious consequences of this matter.
After thinking for a while, he said: "To be honest, I was ordered to come here for the war in the north. Since this happened, there is no reason to stand by and watch. However, since the barbarians have been planning for a long time, there will definitely be experts sitting in charge.
I may not be able to deal with it on my own."
"Don't worry, young master, although my strength is limited, I am not greedy for life and afraid of death."
"Even if we add you and me, it won't be enough. We still don't know what cards the other party has, so we shouldn't act rashly."
Lin Tian frowned and thought for a moment.
Then he glanced at his sister Lin Yu and said: "If we want to defend the Red Stone Castle, we alone cannot do it. We also need the cooperation of the defenders of the Red Stone Castle. Let's see, Xiao Yu and I will find a way to sneak into the caravan and wait for opportunities.
If you don't move, you should go to Red Stone Castle immediately, notify the defenders there, and prepare for the response in advance."
Said.
Lin Tian raised his hand and slapped Fang Yunshan on the shoulder.
The true energy condensed and immediately turned into a skull-shaped mark. Like a soldering iron, it penetrated the clothes and was directly branded on the body.
"Master Lin, what are you doing?"
Fang Yunshan's face changed slightly. He could feel that the mark contained an aura of death, which was very terrifying.
"This is called the Yama Curse. The killers in the Guhun Hall are all controlled by this curse seal. I can't completely trust you now, so I must have some precautions. Don't worry, after this incident, if you have no problems, I will
It can be lifted. But if you have evil intentions, this curse will make your life worse than death."
Lin is naturally cautious.
Of course, it is impossible to just believe in Fang Yunshan.
So he asked Sword Soul to help and used the Scripture of Life and Death to put a mark on Fang Yunshan to prevent any unexpected events.
Fang Yunshan obviously did not expect Lin Tian to have such a method.
But after being surprised, he didn't pay too much attention and expressed his understanding, but he still said with some embarrassment: "I don't have an identity now, and maybe because I haven't returned to the team for a long time, I am on the wanted list of the Black Armored Army. I just ran to report the news, and it didn't work.
People will believe it, otherwise I would have gone long ago."
"Of course I've thought of this too."
Lin Tian said and handed over the jade pendant given to him by Chen Qingdi.
"This jade pendant can be given to you temporarily as a token. When the defenders see this thing, they should believe your words."
"With the crown prince's jade pendant, this is enough."
Fang Yunshan nodded, and after accepting the jade pendant, he added: "Those people in the caravan are all controlled by poisonous insects. The barbarians should have special identification methods. How do you plan to get in?"
"You don't have to worry about it now. Let the defenders of Red Stone Castle be prepared, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and prepare an empty warehouse. When the time comes, you can catch the turtle in the jar."
"Okay, then be careful. See you at Redstone Castle."
Finished.
Fang Yunshan didn't stop, turned around and left.
He is good at hiding and has very good movement skills. He should be able to reach the Red Stone Castle in time.
"Brother, that person won't never come back, right?"
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare. The Yama Curse can even control the killers with knife-tips licking blood in the Hall of Souls, let alone him?"
Lin Tian smiled.
Then he said: "I have a barbarian magic weapon with me, as well as the token I got from the barbarian wizard. I should be able to sneak in and get through. But you can't, so I want you to follow the caravan and hide it at any time.
Support me. If anything happens, you can save me."
Lin Tian didn't want Lin Yu to risk his life with him, so he said this deliberately.
The little girl was indeed fooled.
He thought that he was shouldering the important responsibility of rescuing and protecting his brother, so he immediately nodded and said: "Brother, don't worry, as long as something happens, I will come to help you as soon as possible."
"No, wait until I order you to show up again. Take these talismans and seals. There are hidden auras in them. As long as you don't take the initiative to expose them, no one will find you."
After making all these preparations.
Lin Tian then activated his true energy, directly used the art of escaping from the ground, and quietly sneaked into the caravan.
The people in the caravan had all been controlled by the barbarian Gu insects, and they were completely following the instructions. Therefore, they did not notice that there was an extra person at all. They just escorted the carriages and horses step by step and moved forward slowly.
Lin Tian quietly followed the convoy and looked around secretly.
Want to find the barbarian master hidden among them.
But found nothing.
Apart from these controlled businessmen, there were only dozens of black-armored soldiers, and there was no sign of any masters. In other words, those barbarian spies were hidden in the black-armored army, and he could not find them for a while.
But it is unrealistic for these people alone, even if they are all masters, to break through the heavily guarded Red Stone Castle!
What are these barbarians planning?
Lin Tian was a little confused.
His eyes immediately turned to those huge frames.
"These carts are very heavy, and I don't know what they are carrying. I'd better find the saber-toothed tiger bones, otherwise I might not have time when the fight starts."
Thinking room.
He moved slowly towards the location of the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce, then found an opportunity to climb up and open it to take a look.
Most of them contain some medicinal materials and spiritual stones, as well as special grain pills specially used for marching.
but.
under those goods.
Lin Tian smelled a pungent smell.
When he opened it, he found rows of red fire beads buried at the bottom of the cargo box. Each one was the size of a fist, exuding the smell of sulfur and saltpeter. There seemed to be terrifying power fluctuations brewing inside.
"This is the Thunder Fire Bead! It is a powerful and destructive explosive. One ball can destroy an arrow tower.
With so many thunder and fire beads, if they were all detonated, they would probably destroy half the city!"
Lin Tian's expression changed drastically.
"The barbarians are determined to destroy the materials of Red Stone Castle. If these thunder and fire beads are transported to Red Stone Castle, the consequences will be disastrous. I am afraid that they will take advantage of the chaos and detonate them, and they will all die together. Teacher, is there any way to destroy these?
Lei Huozhu steals the news and replaces it?"
"Simple. Your current true energy strength is enough to use some small spells. I will teach you a transportation method, and you can transfer these thunder and fire beads in an instant."
As the sword soul spoke, it was transmitted by divine thoughts and taught the transporting spell to Lin Tian.
This secret method is actually a technique of controlling objects with spiritual thoughts. Lin Tian has practiced the magical power of Buddhist rosary beads, so it is not difficult to master it.
Immediately, he silently performed the magic formula and put all the Thunder Fire Orbs hidden in the cart into his storage bag. At the same time, he also moved some stones in and replaced them without anyone noticing.
But at this time.
His strange behavior aroused the suspicion of a black-armored soldier in the team. He immediately stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "Which caravan are you from? What are you doing here?"
Lin Tian took a look at the other person's neck. There were no insect holes, but the skin under the armor was obviously scaly.
Apparently a barbarian.
He is not the kind of puppet that is controlled.
Lin Tian did not panic and slowly took out a black token.
This object was obtained from the storage bag of the barbarian wizard in Kunwu Mountain. It should be similar to a token of identity, but it has never been used. Unexpectedly, it will come in handy now.
"It turns out to be Master Barbarian Witch!"
When the black-armored soldier saw the token, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly bowed and saluted.
"Didn't Lord Wolf Leader say that he would not follow the caravan in order to prevent the guards from becoming suspicious? Why are you here again?"
"My lord is worried that your work is not reliable enough, so you asked me to check the Thunder Fire Bead to ensure that it can blow up the supplies of Red Stone Castle."
Lin Tian lowered his voice and said.
The soldier was not suspicious at all.
After all, Lin Tian had the identity token in hand and could accurately tell the purpose of the trip.
"Okay. I will check next to you. You can go back to your seat first."
Lin Tian said and waved his hand.
The soldier didn't dare to talk nonsense, he immediately accepted the order, turned around and left.
In this way, Lin Tian generously checked each car and replaced all the thunder and fire beads hidden inside.
By the way, I also found the saber-toothed tiger bone transported by the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce.
"I finally got it. With this tiger bone, I am one step closer to the Four Elephants Golden Pill."
Lin Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He went all the way to White Horse Town just for the bones of the saber-toothed tiger. When the barbarians planned to attack Red Stone Castle, it was just an accident.
Now that the tiger bones are in hand, Lin Tian feels relieved.
The only thing left is to deal with these barbarian spies and save the Red Stone Castle, which is another great achievement.
While thinking.
The speed of the convoy slowed down significantly.
A towering fortress appeared in sight.
This Red Stone Fort, just like its name, is made entirely of red rocks. It is indestructible and stands on the mountains. It is the backup base for the entire northern defense line and is very important.
All the important supplies needed by the 800,000-strong Black Armor Army are stored here.
Therefore, King Wu of the Han Dynasty also specially sent a trusted general to lead 30,000 garrison troops to guard it personally. Under normal circumstances, it can be said to be impregnable.
Unless the front line collapses.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the enemy to capture this fortress by force.
Therefore, the barbarians came up with this method, using Gu insects to control human caravans, and in the name of transporting supplies, they entered the interior of Red Stone Castle and carried out suicide bombings.
And to avoid inspection.
They also found a way to control a group of black-armored soldiers and let them personally escort them, so that the defenders of Red Stone Castle would basically have no suspicion.
Once a wolf is lured into the house, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Just like the barbarians' plan, these convoys quickly entered the Red Stone Castle unimpeded due to the escort of the black armored army.
Then, under the guidance of a general, they drove into a warehouse.
"Brothers, the time has come, get ready to take action!"
A black-armored soldier whispered.
But as the warehouse door opened, what was waiting for them was rows of swords and crossbows!
