Chapter 9 The crow can speak
Su Yong opened the note and looked at it. He smiled at the corners of his mouth and handed it to Yang Yihu.
With the firelight of the butter candle, Yang Yihu gently opened the note and his eyes widened in an instant. He was so shocked that his hands trembled for a long time before silently handed back the note.
Su Yong took the note and said with a smile, "It seems that I guessed right."
On the note, it is written that Su Xiao and others will come to the southern line from Kyoto in the future, and the Iron Lion Legion must adjust the defense line and transfer part of it to Su Xiao's army. At the back of the note, it is said that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the new defensive camp map will be transferred to Lord Chino Takeo.
"This Chiye Takeo is probably one of the leaders of the Japanese pirates," Su Yong said, "I'm afraid that this note will be placed here for some time. It was written when we haven't arrived yet, and I don't know if the Japanese pirates have read it?"
Yang Yihu nodded and said, "That's right. Since this information is placed in Solomon's altar, this Solomon must be inseparable. But since Solomon is the eyeliner of the Japanese pirates, why does it need to be so mysterious? Isn't it better to pass it directly to the Japanese pirates? Although they know that the sea is the land of the Japanese pirates, is it not easy for them to send a message out?
Su Yong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not the case." He originally thought that Solomon was the eyeliner of the Japanese pirates, but from the other party's restraint, he vaguely thought that maybe only some people were the eyeliner of the Japanese pirates, and most of them were fooled. Because there are many disciples of Solomon, it is inevitable that some of them are hot-blooded. After knowing the facts, they may report to the officials.
And Solomon and the government have been at peace for so many years, which is afraid to prove that these eyeliners are also lurking in this gang, not that the gang itself is a Japanese bandit lackey.
"Which of you is the best to imitate other people's handwriting?" Su Yong suddenly turned around and asked the scouts.
Ah Shui looked at the crowd, and Shanshan came out with a smile.
"You?" Su Yong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "A Shui, aren't you even good at speaking official words? Will you still imitate handwriting?"
Yang Yihu beside him smiled and said, "Although Ah Shui can't speak official words, as a leader, he always has to come into contact with documents. He has copied a lot, but he really copied who is like whom. Once I asked him to copy a notice and send it out. When he finished copying it, I took it. Even I couldn't tell that it was the original text.
"So awesome?" Su Yong patted Ah Shui on the shoulder with a smile and handed him the note and said, "Look at the handwriting on it, can you trace it?"
Ah Shui took it and looked at it carefully and said, "It's Liu's body. It's not difficult. Most of the documents I usually copy are in this font.
"Okay, remember that handwriting, and I'll look at you later." Su Yong paused and said, "And this ball of paper, what kind of texture and where it is produced? You have to see it clearly."
Ah Shui smiled and said, "This is the paper produced by Lao Mo's workshop at the west gate of Leizhou City. It is made of sugarcane residue. I saw it early in the morning."
Su Yong claps and said with a smile, "A Shui, you really surprised me."
At this time, everyone went around and found nothing else. The wing rooms at both ends are full of simple beds, several large unlocked boxes, and some ordinary clothes. Everyone looked carefully and folded it back carefully before they came out.
Su Yong buried the note in the incense burner again, looked around and didn't leave any footprints, and then said, "I don't know if the wind and rain outside have stopped. Time is running out. Let's go back quickly and find some wooden strips to fix the hole here again."
Everyone dealt with the debris in the pool, then extinguished the candles, raised the torch and walked up the ladder. Soon, they sent two people to the mine outside to get some boards, redo the hole, then swept up the soil, took away the bats on the ground, and retreated in the same way.
Then he went out to the mine and organized several teams to inspect the remaining pits, but no one was found. However, at this time, the night had arrived. Su Yong saw that everyone was exhausted, so he had to send scouts to take turns to guard at the entrance of the cave, and the others took a rest.
The wind and rain on the sea, as Ah Shui said, lasted for most of the night until the red sun rose from the sea that it gradually calmed down.
The soldiers who slept very sweetly, although the waves were dizzy yesterday, woke up now, but recovered a lot.
At this moment, Su Yong was taking these energetic soldiers on the beach after the wind and rain for morning transportation. Suddenly, a scout standing high above the Black Wind Reef issued an alarm.
"There are ships coming here."
At present, Su Yong immediately ordered that everyone cleaned up everything, removed the traces of the things used in the mine, and scattered and hid in the countless natural cat holes in the black wind reef above the mine that had already been looked for last night. It is condescending, just overlooking the whole mine below from the cracks in the stone, and the black on the head just covers the hole in the shadow, and it is extremely difficult for the soldiers in black to find.
These cat ear holes are still a long distance away from the mine below. It can be said that if it is not too loud, the people below will not notice it. Of course, if the other party has a strong master, it is another matter.
At the same time, as long as the soldiers rush out of the Black Wind Reef on both sides, they can encircle the entrance of the mine in an instant, which can be said to have a strong geographical advantage.
Of course, the speed of rushing down from the reef is still not as fast as running out on the flat ground, but there is only a little time difference. Even if they run to the shore, they will not have time to untie the cable and start the boat.
Several flat-bottomed elliptical dragon ships have appeared in front of the sea. Su Yongyun snorted again: "Finally, check your position. Don't move lightly after everything is correct, and act on my orders."
At this moment, there were already a little excited soldiers and became more nervous. After a while, everything fell silent, and everyone could only hear the slightly rough breathing of their comrades beside them.
There are three large ships, about three or four hundred people. These flat-bottomed ships only have a slightly larger capacity than those of the dragon boat.
A large group of young Taoist priests in Taoist robes pushed the boat to the beach, tied it to several big trees, and then came over with a long row of boxes. When the Taoist priest walked in front of them first, they felt that their clothes were floating.
Looking at this situation, it seems that it is really a celebration. Su Yong smiled in his heart and said: It's really fresh for such a large group of cows to come to the sea to enjoy the moon and have a party.
The Taoists on the stove they lit did not move. Instead, they found a large pile of firewood from the corners around the mine. Soon after, a few huge bonfires ignited, and a thick smoke with the smell of barbecue kept floating towards the cat's ear hole where the soldiers were hiding.
Fuck, it's really hard. Su Yong pressed his cooing stomach with a bitter face. It seems that I didn't have enough to eat last night. Seeing that Ah Shui beside him was also swallowing, he was a little at ease.
The three or four hundred Taoists, under the guidance of the six elder-level long-bearded Taoist priest, sat up around the six bonfires in the huge mine. Soon after, they read the formula in unison.
"Dead cow's nose, chanting scriptures and barbecue at the same time, he thought of it." Su Yong cursed secretly. The palm of his hand couldn't help touching it in his arms. He finally took out a dry meat bun and bit it fiercely.
The recitation lasted for half an hour. I'm afraid the saliva of the cow's nose is almost dry. The bearded elders can high-five at the same time, as if to inform everyone to start eating.
The iron plate frame hanging on the bonfire has long been fragrant, and the broth in the large iron pot on the lower side is also extremely delicious. However, it is waiting for Su Yong and others to think that this Solomon ceremony is just like this. An old Taoist priest, who was obviously the leader, suddenly pulled out his sword, pointed to the sky obliquely, read a few words loudly, and swept his left palm out of the bonfire in the middle.
The man's internal strength was not small, and the palm wind swept away, and the huge bonfire rushed to one side, emitting a thick smoke. The thick smoke instantly covered the iron frame and the big iron pot on the bonfire, and I couldn't see anything for a moment.
Surprisingly, after the thick smoke dissipated, on the edge of the big hot iron pot hanging on the bonfire, on the ears of the obviously burned red iron pot, there was a crow standing on it.
"Brother," the Taoist priest said sadly with tears in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to say goodbye when you went to the capital. Who on earth killed you? You can say everything in front of everyone.
Shit, where's the magic? Su Yong's eyes widened. I don't know where the crow came from. Why did it suddenly come out of the smoke? Isn't this the soul of the deceased in Kyoto?
But it's not about to start the meal until it comes out. Isn't it a big appetite? How can these guys eat it?
However, what he couldn't imagine was that the crow said it hoarsely, and his voice was not small:
"The one who kills me, General Su Yongye of Dragon Wing. This man damaged my divine religion. Poor Tao and his theory were suddenly killed by him on the poetry field. The public was in full view and undeniable.
Damn it, this thing said it backwards. Su Yong looked at the soldiers around him and almost pulled out the bleeding knife and rushed down, pulling out all his bird feathers.
