In the Baihusuo, the soldiers who had just fallen asleep were awakened by the urgent cry of Wu Shuisheng from the previous Baihu.
Gulu quickly got up, took out the fire stick from his waist, and lit the oil lamp in the room.
But in the blink of an eye, the door was rudely stepped open.
Figures dressed in black rushed into the room quickly.
As soon as the knife fell from his hand, screams could be heard in the room.
On the rugged mountain road three miles away, Xiao Chen, Duan Tianming, and Zhang Xiaozhong from the hundred households in the south of the city were walking with difficulty.
"Hey, it's reasonable to say that Jiangwansuo should be completely dark now, but how come it's still brightly lit from a distance?" Zhang Xiaozhong stopped and held the rattan on the side of the path with one hand and looked into the distance.
"Is that the courtyard with lights?" Xiao Chen also looked over.
"Yes, that's right. That's the barracks of Jiangwansuo."
"The city south of your city has all built walls, but Jiangwan City is closer to the coast, yet no city walls have been built?" Duan Tianming, who was at the back, asked.
"Jiangwan Station was stationed here only this year, and the barracks were only built this year."
"It turns out to be a newly built 100-household office." Xiao Chen said.
"It's just that what are they doing up so late? We've been delayed all the way, and it's already late now." As he said this, holding on to the mountain next to him, Zhang Xiaozhong from a hundred households groped ahead again.
"Maybe they are setting up a new defense plan." Xiao Chen and the others hurriedly followed.
The mountain road was really difficult to walk, and the road was more than three miles long at night. The three of them walked for almost half an hour before they arrived at the gate of Jiangwansuo.
"The door opened in the middle of the night, but not a single person could be seen. What on earth is Jiangwansuo doing?" Zhang Xiaozhong, a householder at the front, was very confused.
"Let's go take a look." Xiao Chen had a bad feeling in his heart.
As soon as they walked through the door, the strong smell of blood in the house wafted into the noses of the three of them.
Xiao Chen exerted force with his feet, passed Zhang Xiaozhong, and rushed into a barracks.
The flame of the oil lamp on the wall flickered.
On the ground, on the pavement, there were more than thirty corpses lying in random directions, all uniformly dressed as soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Chen hurriedly retreated and rushed into other rooms.
Without exception.
The room was full of corpses of soldiers.
Zhang Xiaozhong, who was following closely behind him, looked at the corpses with his face full of anger.
Many of these soldiers knew each other personally.
A while ago, they were all active and active at their posts, standing guard.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and now he is a corpse without breathing.
"Where is Baihu's room?" Xiao Chen asked in a low voice.
"Right next to it."
"take me."
Zhang Xiaozhong nodded, turned around and exited the room, leading Xiao Chen towards Wu Shuisheng's room.
The room was in a mess, even the bedding on the bed was thrown to the floor.
However, there was no body of Wu Shuisheng.
The three of them looked at each other.
There are corpses of soldiers everywhere. Why is Wu Shuisheng from a hundred households missing?
"Commander Duan, call someone."
After hearing Xiao Chen's instructions, Duan Tianming took out Dongchang's message fireworks from his arms, walked to the center of the yard, and lit them with the fire stick he had on him.
In the dark sky, a blue light rose into the sky.
Baoshan opened up in the sky more than ten feet high, forming a huge, oval-shaped blue circle of light, which lasted for four or five breaths before gradually disappearing.
Standing in Wu Yongsheng's room, Xiao Chen quietly looked at everything in the room.
Although the things were messy, they were just arranged in a haphazard manner. None of the things were damaged.
"What is the other party looking for?" Duan Tianming also muttered to himself while looking at it.
"I didn't find anything. It's just intentional." Xiao Chen said and walked to the side of the crib.
Stretching out his right hand, almost all the messy things around him are within reach.
"The other party stood here and moved everything in the house one by one. He even tore off the bedding on the bed without even looking at it."
"If you're not looking for something, why would you arrange a messy scene?"
"Everyone, almost all died, except Baihu. The one who did all this is Baihu himself from Jiangwan Baihu." Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Zhang Xiaozhong shouted loudly, "Wu Shuisheng and I are fellow villagers. I know his character very well. He will never do this. He treats those soldiers as brothers, absolutely
I would not take their lives and then set up such a scene."
Looking at Zhang Xiaozhong, Xiao Chen said slowly: "How are the skills of these hundreds of households?"
"Absolutely the same as me."
"Oh." Xiao Chen nodded.
Suddenly his feet moved and he was beside Zhang Xiaozhong in an instant.
He raised his right hand, and with the palm of his hand like a sharp blade, he slashed towards Zhang Xiaozhong's neck.
Just as he was about to succeed, his palm touched the opponent's collar, but he stopped again.
Only then did Zhang Xiaozhong realize what he was doing, and he subconsciously retreated hastily, his forehead already covered with a layer of sweat.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
There was no answer. Xiao Chen turned his head and looked outside at the room with hundreds of corpses, and thought for a moment.
"If his skills are comparable to yours, he won't be able to kill so many soldiers by himself. There are obvious signs of struggle in those rooms. If the soldiers stand up to resist, they should have a chance to survive."
"What do you mean, these hundreds of households have helpers?" Duan Tianming answered.
Xiao Chen walked out of the room and came to a corpse.
This body had a stab wound on the neck and a wound on the chest.
Squatting down, Xiao Chen looked at the wound on the neck, and then tore open the clothes on the chest of the corpse.
A stab wound less than an inch in size penetrated the entire heart.
Xiao Chen checked several other corpses one after another.
Duan Tianming was not idle either. The colleague who was checking Xiao Chen's wounds was also checking nearby.
"Commander Duan, do you see anything?" Xiao Chen stood up and asked slowly.
"Judging from the wound, it looks very much like the Japanese sword used by Japanese pirates." Duan Tianming looked solemn.
If it is said that this helper of Baihu is a Japanese pirate, doesn't it mean that he is a Japanese pirate spy who has been lurking in the imperial army?
If he is a spy, then it is possible that the Japanese pirate information Zhang Xiaozhong provided to Dongchang was deliberately told by him to confuse the Ming army?
Xiao Chen's thoughts coincided with Duan Tianming's.
"This Baihu led the Japanese pirates to kill his subordinate soldiers. Could it be that his identity as a spy has been exposed and he wants to kill people to silence them? Or is it that the Japanese pirates will have a big operation in the area under Jiangwan's jurisdiction? These soldiers
Will they hinder them and they can only be killed? More than a hundred soldiers who lived together day and night were just handed over to the hands of the Japanese pirates. These hundred families should be killed by the nine tribes." Xiao Chen said angrily while gritting his teeth.
"No, Wu Shuisheng must not be such a person. Sir, you must be aware of this." Zhang Xiaozhong looked as if he was about to burst into tears as he begged Xiao Chen.
"Perhaps, in the face of the massive benefits of the Japanese pirates, he is no longer the Wu Shuisheng you are familiar with." After sighing, Xiao Chen gently patted Zhang Xiaozhong on the shoulder.
On the beach, there were waves of horses neighing.
Two hundred captains of the Shenji Corps galloped all the way from the Songmen Guard Station along the beach.
The torch in his hand was like a blazing fire dragon, and he arrived at the gate of Jiangwansuo in an instant.
He quickly jumped off his horse, and two hundred people rushed into the yard.
Two hundred torches illuminated the entire courtyard like daylight.
Xiao Chen turned around and was about to instruct the God Machine Soldier to start collecting the corpses. Under the wall not far away, something long like a strip shone in the light of the fire, dazzling Xiao Chen's eyes.
