Wanzihe Town has entered a strange state. A group of ruthless people with unknown origins began to investigate the activities of the town and the merchants coming and going.
Plague ghosts obey the rules, and Wanzihe Town is a place where ghost cloud thieves take shelter, so anyone can avoid being robbed as long as they pay taxes in this town.
The Guiyun Pirates are determined to prohibit such things as killing chickens to obtain eggs. Only by stabilizing the robbery activities at a certain frequency can we ensure that merchants dare to set foot on this land.
Beiting 19 prefectures are vast and sparsely populated. No matter how powerful the military force of the Protectorate is, it cannot completely control the ends. Basically, it is difficult to manage vertically at the township level. This is what the ghost cloud thieves rely on to survive.
The space is located!
However, as the Beiting Protectorate began to implement the New Deal, measures such as ID cards began to become popular, which led to an unprecedented strengthening of the military town management of the entire Beiting.
However, the Oniyun Pirates sensed a crisis, so they secretly ordered their minions to continuously block, delay, and frustrate the implementation of various policies issued by the Protectorate.
But they also know that their arms cannot twist their thighs. Once Beiting's new policy is promoted, it will be very difficult for them to harvest Beiting as usual.
So this time, the Ghost Cloud Thieves went out in full force regardless of the risks, and wanted to take a bite out of Beiting while the city was undergoing civil strife.
As for the burst of smoke in Hexi, that was just an introduction. The large violent criminal group Guiyun Pirates didn't pay much attention to the horse bandit who had more than a hundred names like the burst of smoke.
Among the three big ghosts, six little ghosts, and nine leaders of the bandit alliance, only the plague ghost wanted to eat a cigarette in one gulp to expand his strength. After all, he was the latest new ghost to join in the past five years.
The plagued ghost knew that Wanzihe Town was built along the Wanzi River and was a place where many traveling merchants chose to settle down. He checked one by one in order to screen out the merchants who had recently entered and exited the Huilongpo Market and asked them to draw the entire
Detailed map of Huilong Mountain.
The selected businessmen were all sent to the mayor's mansion with great fear, and under the power of the plague ghost, they burned the midnight oil to draw maps.
"The plagued ghost wants the map back to Longshan. Maybe he also has ideas about Huilongpo Market," Gongshu Yunu disguised herself as a man and mingled with the merchants. Her current identity is the book girl of the young buyer "Bing Ye".
Dongzhu reluctantly carried a large package. Her shift did not change, she was still a maid, but her apparent master also became a "soldier".
"Bing Ye" Xu Yanbing got a luxurious and slightly exaggerated silk brocade uniform from somewhere. He held a pen in his hand, frowning and thinking: "I didn't expect that this small town is less than a hundred miles away from Beiting City.
There are such ruthless bandits entrenched above, I took a closer look, and found that in this mayor’s mansion alone, there are no less than twenty masters of first grade or above!”
Dongzhu rolled his eyes: "Miss, I have told you a long time ago that the Guiyun Pirates are the most powerful gangster group in the Western Region. Do you realize it now?"
Xu Yanbing ignored Dongzhu's ridicule and said to Gong Shuyu: "Is the plague ghost a new group of ghost cloud pirates?"
Gong Shuyu nodded and said casually without leaving a trace: "That's right, have you remembered?"
Xu Yanbing shook his head: "I have no impression of Guiyun Pirates. I just judged them based on what I saw and heard."
Gongshu Yu frowned for a moment and then returned to his indifferent expression: "Tell me, what do you think?"
At this time, a subordinate of the bandit who was plagued by the ghost passed by the three of them and scolded them fiercely: "Have we discussed it? If we have enough discussion, hurry up and draw. Do you want to be whipped?"
Xu Yanbing immediately put on a very philistine smile: "We've discussed it, we've discussed it, don't worry, let's paint it now!"
The bandit's men glanced at Xu Yanbing and the three soldiers coldly, then continued patrolling, supervising other people who were "slowly progressing".
Seeing the bandit's men walking away, Xu Yan's soldiers wrote in a low voice: "When I went to find this outfit, I observed the defense status of the plague ghosts in the town. They worked in groups of two, one sentry at a hundred steps.
The hidden card is only set up in the center of the town, and there is only a group of four people to explore the outside!"
Dongzhu looked at Xu Yanbing with wide eyes: "You saw so much during your trip?"
Gong Shuyu nodded: "You mean, although there are many experts among the plague ghosts, the total number is not large?"
Xu Yanbing wrote and drew on the paper: "These masters in the mansion should be the elite troops of the plague ghosts. They will not be allowed to work hard on patrol. According to my judgment, there are only about 150 plague ghosts at most."
Afterwards, Xu Yanbing and Gong Shuyu looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.
Dongzhu listened for a long time, but did not understand what Xu Yanbing said: "What happened to one hundred and fifty people? You are talking about the result?"
Xu Yanbing did not speak, lowered his head to write and draw. Instead, Gong Shuyu explained: "Dongzhu, think about it, there are only 150 people in the plague ghost gang, and they are at the bottom of the ghost cloud bandit gang. He wants to
What’s the best way to improve your strength?”
Dongzhu thought for a while and then said: "It means...the plagued ghost does not want the wealth in Huilongpo, but the people in Huilongpo... He wants to annex a place..."
"Keep your voice down!" Gong Shuyu immediately prompted.
Dongzhu then closed her mouth. From then on, the way she looked at Xu Yanbing was different.
Xu Yanbing smiled: "Miss Gongshu, what do you think the plague ghost will do if he wants to get the maximum benefit and annex the smoke at the minimum cost?"
Gong Shuyu raised his head and glanced at Xu Yanbing, then withdrew his gaze and smiled playfully: "I'm just a little girl, how do I know."
When Xu Yanbing heard this, he had just finished drawing the map: "Look, I found out only this much of the terrain of Huilongpo last night. Please ask Miss Gongshu to complete the rest."
With that said, he handed the brush to Gong Shuyu. Gong Shuyu smiled, then leaned over and started painting.
She noticed that the map of Huilong Mountain drawn by Xu Yanbing did not include the path they took last night to escape from the pursuit of a burst of smoke.
Gong Shuyu smiled knowingly, and then wrote to add some of the terrain she explored last night, without writing down the path, as if she had forgotten the path.
Soon, a detailed topographic map of Huilong Mountain was completed. Gong Shuyu put down his pen and gave up his position.
Xu Yanbing glanced at the map, and then exclaimed: "Miss Gongshu wants to see both the plague ghost and the smoke suffer."
Gong Shuyu showed an expression of innocent confusion: "Why can't I understand what Master Bing is talking about? It's surprising that Master Bing is proficient in military strategy."
Xu Yanbing smiled faintly: "What about military strategy? I came from a humble background. I only learned a few words from Mr. Accountant. I don't know anything about military strategy. It's just intuition."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and made a tacit understanding not to speak.
The lights in the room were bright. Gong Shuyu looked at the flamboyantly dressed Xu Yanbing, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense: This soldier's temperament and personality are completely different from Xu Yanbing's, but his habit of observing details is very similar... This is really
