If a low-level leader like Qin Hao can feel the tremendous pressure of Youtan Flag recently, then as the leader of Youtan Flag, Lin Zedong's heart can be described as extremely anxious.
If the Youtan Flag cannot play an obvious role, it will be a big failure for the Yubei Mountain Fortress. Even if Song Qinghe can carry it, it will not change the fate of the Youtan Flag being abolished. And Lin Zedong's official career
It will also be cast into a shadow, and it will not look so good in the future.
But it is too difficult to maintain the sentry with minimal losses outside the fortress, especially in a place like Yubei Mountain where the terrain is so dangerous and rugged that it is impossible to build fortifications. The trap defenses that had been given high hopes have been
It has been rolled out for a month, but the effect is not satisfactory.
If the situation continues to slip like this, Youtanqi may not survive this year.
However, the good news suddenly appeared in an unexpected place, which made Lin Zedong a little unbelievable.
"What did you say?"
"Sir, I don't dare to tell any lies. Zhang Yan, the assassin under Captain Qin Hao, recently installed many thorn vine walls at Post No. 6, saying it was to maximize the effect of the trap. But just three days ago,
Those thorny vine walls suddenly formed some kind of weird path, making it difficult for people to get in and out. No matter how you mark the route, it will always go in circles..."
It's more of a complaint than a report. The garrison who was rotated out by Zhang Yan and the others has been tortured by the Bagua array in the past few days. The damage is not serious, but the psychological fear of the unknown and
It’s hard to describe how depressed I am. Now that I have returned, I just want to report the news to Lin Zedong. On the one hand, I want to take some credit for being the first to report it, and on the other hand, I want to vent my inner depression.
When Lin Zedong heard that "it was difficult to get out with all the methods. After thinking about it, there was no other way but to saw through the thick thorn vine wall or break through the trap area."
, the surprise on his face can no longer be concealed.
After walking a few steps back and forth in the camp, Lin Zedong decided to go and see for himself. So he asked the team leader who had brought the news to lead the way. He led more than a dozen personal guards and slipped directly down from the fortress and went straight to the place where Madman Zhang had defeated him.
of sentry.
Because he was mentally prepared in advance and also curious about the so-called "weird thorn vine wall", Lin Zedong did not ask the team leader who led the way to point out the correct path, nor did he ask anyone to inform the sentry.
Qin Hao and others who were stationed there wanted to experience it for themselves and see if they and the more than ten personal guards under their command could escape from it.
After a stick of incense, Lin Zedong saw Qin Hao. However, it was not that they passed through this strange path easily, but because a guard accidentally touched the warning trap on the tree trunk, causing the people behind him to
The people at the sentry noticed it. Later they discovered that it was Lin Zedong and his party. When Qin Hao saw this, he naturally came out to pay a visit.
"Zhang Yan, what can you say about the thorn vines here?" Lin Zedong looked at Zhang Yan, who was hiding in the crowd behind Qin Hao, and asked loudly. He understood that only Zhang Yan, the initiator of the changes in this place, knew best. Moreover,
Song Qinghe mentioned before that Zhang Yan was probably from the "Miscellaneous Studies" lineage, but now Lin Zedong was convinced.
"Sir, the thorn vines themselves have nothing to say. They are just used to shape the wall, and then build some paths to make them look charming. The criminal soldiers call it the Bagua array."
Is it another little trick? Are all people from the miscellany school so humble? Or is this Zhang Yan’s unique temperament?
For a time, Lin Zedong felt a little more cautious in his heart, and subconsciously did not want to treat Zhang Yan with the same attitude as he used to treat criminal soldiers.
"Haha, Zhang Yan, your little trick is not easy." Lin Zedong said, turning his head and waving his hand to Qin Hao, asking him to take his men back to the guard post to continue their duties, while Zhang Yan was left behind.
"Then you can accompany me for a walk so that you can truly explain what the mystery behind this Bagua array is?"
"My lord, please!" Zhang Yan bowed slightly and let Lin Zedong go first, while he followed half a step behind.
To be honest, Zhang Yan didn't look like a madman at all at this time. Especially after Lin Zedong thought he had seen through Zhang Yan's identity, he regarded Zhang Yan's usual maverick behavior as the behavior of a person in "Miscellaneous Studies"
, and no longer feel "crazy".
After going around for a while, Lin Zedong was really convinced. There was nothing weird, just the most common and ordinary things used. After modification, he was able to deceive even the senses of an early stage martial artist like him.
.If he hadn’t experienced it personally, Lin Zedong would have found it hard to believe that there was such a sophisticated method in the world.
Of course, after Zhang Yan explained some of the secrets inside, Lin Zedong had learned to distinguish those deceitful techniques. However, Lin Zedong also knew that this was a sign that he knew the details and deduced, so it seemed
Easy. He wasn't sure if he would be able to see through the Bagua array immediately if he were somewhere else and encountered the Bagua array without being mentally prepared?
It's hard to say. Lin Zedong is not absolutely sure about this either. He thought to himself: Maybe a Hundred Refining Realm warrior like Mr. Song can easily see through this kind of blinding method with his spiritual sense?
But understanding is understanding, just like someone telling you how to cook a certain dish and what techniques are required. Will you know it after listening? Obviously not.
The same goes for the Bagua array. Lin Zedong understands this truth and knows that the only person who can solve this problem currently is Zhang Yan.
"So, this method can be used anywhere, right? Just use some local conditions, such as the transformation of the thorn vine path in Yubei Mountain?"
"Well... you can say that. But the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. But there is no problem in implementing it on Yubei Mountain, but it will take a certain amount of time for the thorn vines to grow." Zhang Yan
He didn't dare to talk too much. He could only control Yubei Mountain with his own hands, so he dared to agree.
Lin Zedong was satisfied with Zhang Yan's answer. He could tell that Zhang Yan had left a way out for him, but this was human nature, and it also showed that the other party was not a lunatic.
"From today onwards, you will follow these personal guards under my command and go through the sentry posts one by one. Once you have a good idea, you can immediately start to arrange them. I ask you to mention whatever you want, as long as it is not too much. But I need to see this
The Bagua array can cover all the sentry posts in Yubei Mountain. How about that?"
Although he was still giving orders, his tone was different from before. Zhang Yan could also hear this.
"Don't worry, sir. By the end of this month at the latest, all the sentries in Yubei Mountain will be covered with thorn vines. Later, we only need to adjust some details regularly, and there will be no delays.
By the way, we also need some special potion for killing thorn vines. This requires the coordination of adults, and it is not prepared in the fortress."
"Well, you don't have to worry about the potion. It will be delivered within five days. Let's start today. Your team will be temporarily included in my personal guard."
