20demayo Chapter 130
Chapter 130
The 30,000 troops sent by Pingyuan City were the Tiefeng Army.
Led by the chief general Zhao Chong, the deputy general Zhuo Zilin, and the military supervisor Luo Duozi, they arrived at the foot of Tulongling and stopped.
"General, we have arrived at Longling. The entire Tulongling is a forest, and our secret camp is located in the southwest. Jackdaw Town is above Tulongling, and there is only one mountain road accessible."
"However, strangely, our spies did not find the officers and soldiers here. They seem to have disappeared."
Zhuo Zilin rode a warhorse and came to Zhao Chong, who was also riding a warhorse, and bowed to him to report the current situation.
"Where did they go?"
At this time, Zhao Chong had not spoken yet, but the military supervisor Luo Duozi, who was riding a horse next to Zhao Chong, spoke first. His voice was a little feminine and a little like a sissy.
"It's not clear yet. Our spies have already headed for the secret camp. I believe there will be news soon."
"Yes."
"If these officers and soldiers escape, we won't be able to complete the mission." Luo Duozi looked at Zhao Chong with some worry.
"I remember the city lord said that there was a plague in Jackdaw Town. Our people were stopped here and were also infected."
"The purpose of our coming here this time is to prevent those civilians and officers and soldiers from escaping and spreading the plague to other people."
"If there are those who disobey or resist, they can be killed directly."
Zhao Chong glanced at the two and asked, "Am I right?"
"Yes." Luo Duozi responded.
"That's strange. Logically, they should not know the news, but why is there no officer and soldier now?"
"Will they be infected, so they are afraid of death and escape?" Luo Duozi looked around with some fear, as if he was afraid that those infected people would suddenly emerge.
Zhuo Zilin thought for a moment and said, "General, why don't we go to the secret camp first."
"Well, but we need to send people to surround Tulongling to prevent the officers and soldiers or civilians inside from running out."
"Yes, General, I will arrange it now."
Zhuo Zilin arranged soldiers to guard the key points, which was actually just to occupy the positions originally occupied by officers and soldiers.
After arranging all this, they also happened to receive the report from the spy.
"Report, General, everyone in the secret camp has disappeared, including Lord Zhao and the master, they are no longer in the camp."
The news from the spy surprised everyone.
"What? How is this possible?" Luo Duozi was very surprised.
"Did you find anything?" Zhao Chong frowned and asked.
"Yes, there was a battle in Lord Zhao's tent, and there are several corpses outside."
"And the tent on the master's side was also destroyed. There was only a charred corpse there, but these corpses were not Lord Zhao and the master's."
"Because the body shape does not match the two of them." The spy reported the situation in the camp to them one by one.
"What about other situations?" Luo Duozi also asked.
The spy thought for a while and said, "There is nothing else in the camp. It seems to have been emptied. According to our reconnaissance, after they left, they may have gone to Jackdaw Town."
"Jackdaw Town?"
The two of them looked puzzled after hearing this.
After all, Jackdaw Town is the source of infection. If you go there, wouldn't you be going to die?
"Yes."
"Okay, do you have any other information? Report it all together." Luo Duozi said.
"Yes."
The spy reported the information they had reconnaissanced to Zhao Chong and others.
"Okay, we all know, you can go down." Zhao Chong waved his hand.
"Yes."
The spy saluted and left.
After watching the spy leave, Zhao Chong judged based on the intelligence brought by the spy, and said: "It seems that they may have really gone to Jackdaw Town."
"Really? Why are you so sure?" Luo Duozi looked at him puzzled.
"It's very simple. If they were heading towards Pingyuan City, they would definitely meet us. If they left Tulongling and left with supplies, we would definitely find clues when we came, but we found nothing."
"Only in the direction of Jackdaw Town did we find these traces, so if they really withdrew, they would have retreated to Jackdaw Town."
"Ah, are they really looking for death?" Luo Duozi was a little surprised.
Zhao Chong did not answer because he was also puzzled.
"In fact, if they are really infected, it's okay to go to Jackdaw Town. After all, everyone is infected. If they find a way to solve the infection in Jackdaw Town, it is not impossible." Luo Duozi said to himself again.
"It's just strange, then this secretWhat happened in the secret camp?"
Supervisory Luo Duozi looked at Zhao Chong in confusion.
Zhao Chong shook his head.
At this time, Zhuo Zilin, who had arranged everything, had returned and reported to Zhao Chong: "General, we have controlled all the key points of Longling and sent out patrol teams."
"Okay." Zhao Chong saw Zhuo Zilin coming back and was about to invite him to go to the secret camp together, so he said: "You leave one general to guard here, and we will go to the secret camp."
"Yes. "
Zhao Chong did not go to Jackdaw Town directly, because the entire Longling was controlled by them, and there was no rush now.
He needed to go to the secret camp to see the situation and understand some things, so he was not in a hurry to go to Jackdaw Town.
Then, the army went up along the mountain road and finally arrived at the secret camp.
Zhao Chong ordered Zhuo Zilin to take some soldiers and start searching the entire camp.
Zhao Chong walked in the camp with the military supervisor Luo Duozi, observing the situation in the camp.
"This camp can accommodate a few hundred people at most. Looking at the mess of this camp, it doesn't look like someone attacked here, but more like they are preparing to evacuate here. "
"Then General Zhao, do you think it was done by Lord Zhao and the master?"
"It's not clear now, but it's also very likely. "
Anyway, they found the bodies mentioned by the spies in Lord Zhao's tent.
After their identification, these bodies were left by Lord Zhao's guards.
However, they died because of sharp objects piercing their bodies, and they died almost at the same time.
What puzzled him here was that the death of these guards made him feel weird.
Because they didn't seem to be killed by Lord Zhao.
It seemed like he killed them.
"Is there any master in Lord Zhao's camp?" Zhao Chong looked at Luo Duozi.
"No." Luo Duozi shook his head.
"It seems that a master attacked here. Let's go to the master to see."
After listening, Zhao Chong made a judgment.
"Okay."
They came to the master again and saw Ergou, who was used as a guinea pig for the experiment, but he was dead now.
Moreover, Li Taihang burned him when he dealt with him, so now there is only a burnt body.
"It stinks, everything here is destroyed. "Luo Duozi waved his sleeves and pinched his nose, afraid of inhaling too much stench.
"What's the situation with this body?" Zhao Chong looked at the military doctor beside him.
The military doctor immediately replied: "General, according to our inspection, this body was burned, but before that, this body was actually dead."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Chong was slightly stunned and said: "You mean, this body was already dead and then burned?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I know."
Then, Zhao Chong and them checked the situation in the master's tent.
"Many things have been destroyed. Judging from the degree of destruction, it doesn't seem to be the master's work. After all, these are his hard work." Zhao Chong observed for a while and said.
Luo Duozi said with some disgust: "It stinks here, I can't stand it. I'll go first, you continue to check."
"Okay. "
Luo Duozi finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the original master's tent and coming to a place with better air.
"Great, the air outside is still fresh." Luo Duozi regretted going to the master and didn't want to go back now.
At this time, Zhao Chong, after observing everything, gave an order and said, "Let's go, there is nothing to see here, let's go to Jackdaw Town."
At this time, Luo Duozi hurried to Zhao Chong and asked, "General Zhao, have you seen everything?"
"Yes."
"Did you find anything?"
"Based on the judgment of the scene, something must have happened, causing all these officers and soldiers to disappear, even including Lord Zhao and the master."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Luo Duozi slandered in his heart, thinking that Zhao Chong was just like that.
He didn't understand why the city lord asked him to keep an eye on this man.
"General Zhao, didn't you find anything else? "Luo Duozi couldn't help but ask again.
"Yes, there are three points in summary."
"First, a cultivator may have broken into the secret camp, and the evidence is the death of those guards."
"Second, the disappearance of all the people in the camp this time should not be guided by Lord Zhao and the master. The evidence is in the master's things. The master is very precious to these things and will definitely not do such a thing, so it is obvious that others destroyed them."
"Third, there must be some reason that caused these officers and soldiers, as well as ZhaoThe master and the master disappeared together. As for the evidence, we can see it by looking at the empty camp in front of us. "
"What is the reason?"
"It may be the plague that the city lord said."
Luo Duozi shuddered, afraid that he would be infected, and then it would be over.
"General Zhao, do you think we will also be infected with the plague?"
"It's hard to say."
"Ah!" Seeing this, Luo Duozi became even more uneasy.
Zhao Chong, on the other hand, looked towards the direction of Jackdaw Town with some worry.
"General, the army has been assembled and can set off." At this time, Zhuo Zilin returned to report the situation.
Zhao Chong responded and said, "Okay, let's go."
Then, an order to go to Jackdaw Town was issued.
