Chapter 19 Water Ghosts
With that, Qin Yunuan put this quarter of the map in place and wanted to stop it: "How can you be sure? What if it's wrong?"
"Do you have a better way for the fourth prince?" Qin Yunuan rubbed the remaining three maps with her hand. She tried to recall all the clues she saw in Sun Chengzhen's room. Unfortunately, Sun Chengzhen was shrewd and left very little information. This sparrow tongue tea was only because Qin Yunuan had contacted Jiangnan tea merchants several times when doing business with Shen Xun, and had heard a little.
Wan Su was very worried: "Mrs. Leng, do you know that you hold 170 lives when you hold this map."
"So what?" Qin Yunuan turned her head and seemed to be able to see her deep pupils through the white veil. This woman's eyes were obviously not good enough, but she could always see people thoroughly. If we stay here or act rashly, it must be a dead end. Your Highness, you should figure out the situation. At this moment, if you don't believe me, no one can believe it.
Wanyansu clenched his fist, looked at the quarter map found by Qin Yunuan, rubbed it in his hand, and pointed to the map for a long time, "There is an eagle-billed-like boulder on its head. Tomorrow, I will send someone to look for it."
Only by finding the right route can we move forward safely. This is the only thing Wanyansu thinks now.
When he came out of Wanyansu's tent, the sun had set. As soon as Qin Yunuan came out, he happened to see Yaqi in front of the tent.
"Why are you here? Isn't it cold at night?"
"I'm afraid that my wife will be cold." Yaqi obediently handed over the cloak she had been holding in her hand and put it on for Qin Yunuan. The warm double cloak carried the temperature of Yaqi's chest and wrists.
"It's hard for you. I especially want to send me a cloak and cover it for me." Qin Yunuan looked at Yaqi with a smile and praised her very much.
"This is what the maidservant should do." Yaqi lowered her head and seemed embarrassed. She returned to the small tent where Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi lived alone. There were occasional soldiers patrolling outside. The night in the valley was quieter than in the village.
Leng Changxi gently untied the white veil that bound Qin Yunuan's eyes, carefully replaced her with newly ground herbs, and looked at Qin Yunuan's clear eyes like freshly washed gems, and couldn't help sighing: "Why is it always not good?"
"I used the new recipe opened by Lu Wuyi, and it should be ready soon." Qin Yunuan stretched out his delicate jade hand and touched Leng Changxi's slightly bearded chin. Lu Wuyi came as an accompanying military doctor this time. In the previous Viper Valley, thanks to Lu Wuyi, he saved the lives of many soldiers bitten by poisonous snakes.
This time in the valley, except for Leng Changxi, Qin Yunuan, Lu Wuyi, Wanyan Su and Maomu, they all thought they were looking for the treasures of ancient Khitan. Only five of them knew that there were countless times more precious things hidden than gold and silver treasures hidden in this savage valley, the extremely rare weapons and the most advanced technology. Once discovered, it will change the pattern of the whole world.
It is the desire for such a huge power that wonderfully tied the two people in the center of the political power of the two dynasties. Wanyansu and Leng Changxi, now they are cooperating, but once they find the weapons factory hidden in the mountains, a competition is inevitable. Leng Changxi seems to be weak, but it is true International...
"Who can guarantee that more than 100 people of Wanyansu can live to the place of treasure?" Leng Changxi sighed leisurely and immediately heard the soldiers outside begin to riot.
"There is a water ghost! There is a water ghost! The water ghost killed people!"
It turned out that there was originally a small pond with water behind this hillside, where the precipitation and mountain streams gathered here, which was also one of the reasons why Wanyansu chose to camp here, but he did not expect that it was still full of conditions.
Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi immediately lifted the curtain and got out of the camp. They only saw a circle of people gathered by the pond. They were all soldiers under Wanyan Su, but these veterans of the battlefield who had experienced countless battles looked at the surface of the pool in horror one by one, as if every circle of ripples on the water could make them muddy. Chilling. Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi stood far apart. They could clearly observe the movement of the water surface in the high ground. Leng Changxi protected Qin Yunuan sideways while carefully depicting the movement in the water for her.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd, and the huge splash fascinated the eyes of everyone present. Leng Changxi stared at the water and whispered to Qin Yunuan, "There is a human-shaped thing in the water jumping up. No, it's a human fish tail. There is still a person hanging on her tail, or, to be precise, it is already a The body."
Another splash. The fish-tailed monster had rolled up the adult man's body and dived into the pool again. Someone on the shore immediately couldn't stand it and said viciously: "Grandma's leg, this is just a big fish. Let me go down and catch her out."
"Do not act rashly." Wanyansu appeared at the end of the team and said harshly, "Most of our Northern Di warriors are good at riding horses but not the art of water. You went down rashly, but you were just trapped by this monster's scheme."
"Your Highness, that is the vice general who lives and dies with us." Some people said angrily.
Speaking of the deputy general, Wan Yansu's expression also moved slightly. He has long remembered the achievements of his vice general, and some people shouted: "The deputy general went to the pond to fish for the most delicious fish soup you can drink tomorrow morning. Your Highness, please let us go down and save the vice general, even if you can't save one. With a life, I am willing to get the whole corpse of the vice general to be buried.
Leng Changxi looked at the excited soldiers and said with only the volume that he and Qin Yunuan could hear: "See, this is the subtlety of Sun Chengzhen's layout and design. He doesn't have to solve it in groups. As long as he kills one by one, it first disintegrates the army, and then it will cause the leader and In the contradictions of subordinates, subordinates must save their companions. The leader will certainly not agree for the sake of the overall situation, and then it will hit morale. The more so, the more difficult the road will be in the future.
"Attack on people's hearts? This move is very smart." Qin Yu warmed her eyebrows. Through the white veil, she could still see the waves on the sparkling lake. Today's moonlight was particularly bright, as if laying the groundwork for a life-threatening battle tonight.
Two or three soldiers jumped into the lake without listening to Yan Su's instructions. They tried their best to hit the surface of the water with the blade in their hands or stirred them in the water with wooden sticks, trying to attract the attention of the monster in the water, but the lake suddenly became quiet and turbulent.
After a while, a corpse floated up from the lake, and it was their deputy general.
Qin Yunuan listened to Leng Changxi's detailed description and had a score in her heart: "That man must have been killed first and then thrown into the lake. Otherwise, if he drowned, he would struggle desperately before he died, and a large amount of lake water would be poured into his lungs and mouth, which would not float for a while. Generally, he would sink at the bottom of the lake and wait for the body. The limbs will not float until they are soaked.
Leng Changxi nodded and expressed his approval.
Just as the soldiers carried the deputy's body ashore, suddenly someone pointed to the lake and shouted, "Look, the monster is here again."
Everyone looked back on the water and saw the big tail like a carp sweeping across the water and jumping up on the vast lake. The silvery scales were made of silver with crystal splashes. After such an appearance, the monster re-escame into the water and swam towards the group of soldiers on the shore at a rapid speed. Come on. Even though he had a great resentment against the monster in his heart, looking at the monster's posture, the group of soldiers closest to the shore still had a cold war, and even the fingertips holding the machete began to tremble.
Leng Changxi stood on the high ground and suddenly said, "Everyone, gather in the camp and check the number of people!"
Almost at the same time, the ripples on the lake suddenly disappeared, and the monster immediately sank into the bottom of the lake, and the soldiers present were talking about it. Is it true that this Tuoba prince, who was respected as a distinguished guest, had any magic power and even the monster was afraid of him?
Within less than half a column of incense, everyone has gathered in the camp and standby. The body of the vice general has been buried on the spot. According to the person who carried the body, the general's whole body is terribly cold, as if he had just come out of the ice cellar. Even if it is cold at night, no matter how thoroughly the lake is soaked, it can't be so cold.
After checking the number of people, Wan Yansu's personal bodyguard checked and reported it to Wanyansu truthfully. Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi stood next to him and clearly heard the words of the bodyguard: "A total of 168 people have arrived."
Wanyansu nodded. He didn't know what it meant when Leng Changxi suddenly said to observe the number of people, but now he still has to rely on the map in Leng Changxi's hand. With Leng Changxi's ability, he can't force it and can only temporarily listen to Leng Changxi.
"Are you sure it's all here?" Qin Yunuan suddenly smiled. She took Leng Changxi's hand and asked Leng Changxi to take her around the 180 soldiers. Then she smiled and said, "You are all men. You have forgotten that there is another woman among us besides me. Why didn't you arrive?"
The bodyguard stiffened slightly. Qin Yu frowned and suddenly raised his voice, "Take me to the camp."
Wanyan followed in surprise and had to follow closely with a team of personal soldiers. Qin Yunuan did not return to his tent, but went to a small triangular tent next to the tent. The thick wooden stick with his fists was simply set up and only covered with an earth-colored felt cloth as a roof. If he hid in it, there was nowhere to escape.
This is Yaqi's account.
"Enter and bring the people inside out for me." Qin Yunuan told Lu Wuyi, and the woman's delicate voice immediately came from inside: "Who is it? I'm changing my clothes. Don't come in."
Leng Changxi raised an evil smile at the corners of his mouth: "Change your clothes? Humph." After saying that, she threw the spear in her hand high and directly cut off the wooden stick that tied the tent. The tent tilted back for a moment, and the people inside were unreservedly exposed to the eyes of everyone. That was Yaqi, but she was not changing clothes as she said. Her clothes were intact, her hair was close to her cheeks, and her face was pale. It looks a little pale.
"Yaqi, why is your hair wet?" Qin Yunuan looked at Yaqi and asked with a smile.
