Hearing Hai Dongqing say that he wanted to go to Prince Su's military formation together, Yin Xiu couldn't help but hesitate.
After all, this is a very dangerous trip.
Usually, Yin Xiu used [Thousand-Changing Flowers] to sneak into the enemy camp, and he could come and go almost freely inside.
But this time it's different. If three people are needed, just like Hai Dongqing said, one less person will be trouble.
And it was impossible for him to summon the [Shadow Warrior] because that guy was not a human, but more like a ghost.
At the moment, Ma Xiaoyu and Liu Banxian were scouting the nearby terrain, looking for possible clues, and it was too late to go back to look for her.
Because time is limited, according to the memories obtained from the exploration, the time for these three blood drops to rendezvous with the large army is approaching.
If the time is up and these three people do not return, the army will be suspicious, causing Yin Xiu to miss this opportunity.
Ren Qi didn't think as much as he thought. He just picked up a mask from the ground and gestured towards Hai Dongqing's face.
"Once the Blood Drops' masks are put on, even their mother won't be able to recognize them, so as long as they don't make any noise, nothing will happen."
Hai Dongqing nodded and put the mask on his face. The voice that came through the mask immediately became low and unclear.
"Don't worry, you know I don't like to talk."
"You better be like this."
Yin Xiu sighed and tied the mask on his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed and blinked unaccustomedly.
After putting on their clothes, the three of them began to study the equipment pulled out of the blood droplet-mobile devices and weapons.
Weapons are easy to say. Apart from the extremely thin and sharp long knife that he carries with him, there are only some hidden weapons, such as muskets or launchable hook locks.
The only troublesome thing is the mobile device designed and manufactured by Krupp Company.
Hai Dongqing held the two sword-box-like devices carefully, fearing that one of them would accidentally go off and pierce him.
Then he looked at Ren Qi, "How to use this thing?"
Ren Qi was stunned for a moment, "What are you asking me for?"
"Nonsense!"
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "If you don't ask me, why don't you ask me? You are an expert in the field. You must know this kind of ordnance."
"I really don't understand this thing."
Ren Qi scratched his nose, "We and Xuedizi are all masters of Ouchi, but this is just a general term. Ouchi is also divided into Sticky Rod Department, Xuedizi, Touching Gold Captain, etc., all of which add up. There are more or less people in the nine major yamen. Who can recognize them?
Blooddrops play some weird stuff. I have never seen this mobile device before.
I only heard that several people died every year during Xue Di Zi's training. Maybe it was because of the mobile device that they fell to death. ”
Yin Xiu also agreed, "If you fly around in the sky with such a crude thing, you won't be able to do anything without killing a few people. Even a master of Qinggong wouldn't dare to fly over a wall like this."
"So what, should we go?" Hai Dongqing asked.
"Go, of course. Isn't it just a new thing? They can learn it, there is no reason why we can't learn it, just slow down."
Yin Xiu patted the box, and an anchor rope with a cold light immediately flew out of the box held by Hai Dongqing, grazing Yin Xiu's ears and nailed it into the tree trunk behind him.
"Fortunately, I can see it, and it's not too fast to avoid."
Yin Xiu patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Hai Dongqing was no longer in front of him.
"Hey, where are the people?"
Ren Qi glanced at him and pointed helplessly behind him.
I saw that Hai Dongqing had been taken away by the launched anchor cable and hung on the tree. At this time, he was upside down, hanging upside down on the branch, staring at Yin Xiu.
"..."
Yin Xiu waved to him to apologize, and immediately walked up to pick him up from the tree.
At this moment, Ren Qi had taken off all six swords and hid them in the tree hole.
"Let me be the captain."
Ren Qi looked serious, "There are many rules and regulations in the palace. If you don't understand, you will easily find clues.
If we are going to kill people, then of course there is no problem. We can kill and leave. But if we want to go to the camp, we need to disguise ourselves for a while. ”
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Yin Xiu spent some effort and finally freed Hai Dongqing from the tree, but was glared at by him again.
Ren Qi ignored their argument and just took out a shiny sharp knife from his weapon bag and turned it around in his hand.
"That's good. After all, this is a matter of losing one's head. Whether it's Prince Su's head or ours, it's not a small matter."
"I think so too."
Yin Xiu nodded, "Then I will ask for your advice next time, Sir Ren?"
Ren Qi put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly as a response to Yin Xiu.
At this time, he seemed to have regained the coldness and arrogance he had in Ouchi before. As long as people stood next to him, they could feel the vague pressure from the superiors.
Hai Dongqing felt this most clearly and lowered his eyes unconsciously.
Because although he usually looked down on the high officials and minor officials of the imperial court, he always had this attitude when facing these well-educated hooligans to avoid making things difficult for them.
Yin Xiu didn't change much, just because he had contact with a lot of people from the imperial court and killed a lot, so he didn't feel anything strange.
After the three of them got familiar with each other and figured out how to use the mobile device, they began to move towards the meeting point.
Yin Xiu guided the direction based on the memory in her mind, and finally saw a few figures in the forest ahead.
They also have the same attire and appearance as them. These people are part of the Ouchi master Xue Dizi.
Next to them, there was a pile of boxes. It was probably not brought by these blood drops, but someone brought in backup supplies.
"You came so early?"
One of them asked them a question, his voice booming.
"Let's go faster."
Ren Qi said calmly, "Everyone in this forest is the same, there's nothing interesting to see."
"That's true." The man nodded.
Only then did Yin Xiu understand why Ren Qi volunteered to be the captain of the three.
Because the accent and tone of Ren Qi's speech are exactly the same as theirs. They are all unique accents in Yujing. Even if they deliberately imitate, it is easy for certain flaws in the wording and accent to appear.
More importantly, at the moment of the meeting, Ren Qi had already shown the waistband on his waist to the other party intentionally or unintentionally. It was very natural and casual.
If it were Yin Xiu himself, he would probably ignore such details.
Because he has never worked in a large city, he doesn't know the rules and habits of these people.
Before the man could speak, Ren Qi spoke first, "What were you talking about just now?" "Nothing."
The man waved his hand and said, "Talk about girls, we are talking about the girls in Liaodong who have good bones and good looks. They are indeed much better than the sick ladies and ladies in Yujing."
When they talked about this topic, they all became excited.
"Water and soil, water and soil issues, the water in Yujing is bitter. How can you drink it without sprinkling some tea foam in it? If the water is not good, people will naturally be boring, and they will not be spiritual when they grow up."
"However, the ones here in Liaodong still have a bit of rural rusticity and don't have the style of those in Yujing."
"Amorous feelings? Hey, those girls in Yujing only have money and power in their eyes. How can they get feelings? As long as it can benefit them, ask them to climb up the family ladder, or mark their names when they raid their homes. These girls are so happy that they are willing to do anything for it.”
"Hey, what can we, the imperial guards, do? We are too confused to find you. Once, I followed the commander to raid the home of a civil servant, a fourth-grade official, and five concubines. That night, the brothers were exhausted. ”
Hai Dongqing stood behind Ren Qi and listened to their stories. His face felt red and hot, and he lowered his head involuntarily.
At this time, someone among the people who were talking and laughing loudly noticed something strange about him and came forward curiously.
When the man was about to point his finger at Hai Dongqing, Ren Qi grabbed the man's hand first.
"What's wrong?" The man glanced at Hai Dongqing.
Others also looked over, with different expressions.
Yin Xiu took a deep breath, lowered her palm, relaxed her five fingers slightly, and was ready to draw the sword.
"Nothing."
Ren Qi let out a strange laugh, neither yin nor yang, which made people's skin crawl.
"Women are smart, so what about those men?"
After hearing Ren Qi's question, the man withdrew his hand, with a strange smile in his eyes.
"They are all rough and uninteresting, but those who are still in the school have not yet been infected with this kind of rusticity. They are fresh and refined."
"Then I'll feel relieved."
Ren Qi put his hands on his hips and nodded "satisfied".
After a few questions and answers, those people moved the conversation to other directions.
But when I say it's in another direction, I'm actually just talking about women from other places.
Yin Xiu turned her head and glanced at Hai Dongqing, telling him to stand back with her eyes so as not to attract other people's attention.
At this moment, another explosion was heard in the forest. It was not just one or two sounds, but a wave of people coming here.
Everyone immediately stopped chatting and looked in the direction of the sound.
Almost as soon as they turned their heads, there were many figures approaching them quickly, with strong postures and extremely fast speeds.
The moving device of the blood droplets really came into play in this dense forest, making the blood droplets move as fast as the wind, like fish entering the water.
In the blink of an eye, the blood drops fell to the ground in different postures, surrounding the person in the middle.
That man also had the same attire and equipment as the blood droplets around him, but he was very tall, and his every move carried an unparalleled sense of oppression, which was completely different from the blood droplets around him.
"See the Lord Commander!"
Yin Xiu followed the other blood drops, knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.
"Everyone, get up."
The commander responded lightly, and everyone stood up together.
Based on the memories he had checked earlier, Yin Xiu knew that this person was the leader of the Blood Drops, a third-grade imperial guard with a sword, Situ Zhen.
Situ Zhen glanced at the crowd and found that the number of people was the same as before, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it was his first time to enter Changbai Mountain and carry out such a special mission in the mountains and wilderness. His previous experience in the city was of little help here.
Therefore, even Situ Zhen, who had always been quite confident in his own skills and strength, had to be more cautious and thoughtful in his actions at this time.
"Did you find anything?" he asked.
Everyone lowered their heads and no one said a word.
No news is good news, no result is a good result.
Situ Zhen was very satisfied, but still verbally scolded: "There is no news about the White Lotus Sect? How do you do things!?"
"My subordinates are incompetent!" everyone said in unison.
"That's all, the White Lotus Sect and so on will be the same next time. We just need to make sure that there are no spies from the White Lotus Sect infiltrating this area. This is our task."
Situ Zhen waved his hands and was about to call everyone back when he heard a sharp cry.
He looked up and saw a cardinal circling and soaring in the sky.
Ren Qi also moved his gaze higher and recognized that it was the bird raised at the sticky pole.
Sticky Rod Department has always been responsible for intelligence collection. Since there are means to collect intelligence and information, naturally there should be methods and abilities to pass it on.
You can't obviously have information and secrets, but take it with you to report to the underworld, right?
So there are all kinds of strange ways to transmit information and communicate with each other on the sticky pole.
They are naturally proficient in makeup and other disguises, but this is the most routine and simplest method they use.
After all, this is just a human method.
And driving wild beasts, such as raptors and mice, to deliver messages is what Sticky Rod is good at.
Looking at the birds hovering in the sky, Situ Zhen frowned.
Then he took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve and took off the plug on it while holding his breath. A stream of yellow turbid air immediately poured out of the bamboo tube and floated upward.
Even though she and Situ Zhen held their breath at the same time, Yin Xiu still felt a smell coming into her nostrils.
It was a kind of bird droppings combined with the smell of stinky eggshells. Just smelling it like this makes people feel heavy-headed.
I don’t know how Situ Zhen could endure it with this thing in his hand.
Not long after the turbid air dissipated, the red bird hovering in the air swooped down and swooped in the direction of Situ Zhen.
Situ Zhen took out a piece of cloth and put it on his arm, straightening his hand.
Almost as soon as he extended his arm, the cardinal spun in the air and landed nimbly on Situ Zhen's hand, its sharp claws leaving several holes in the cloth.
Situ Zhen whistled and comforted the red bird. At the same time, he reached out and touched its feet. After a while, he took out a small mailbox.
puff!
Situ Zhen raised his hand and asked the red bird to fly back to the sky. Then he opened the mailbox, took out a small piece of paper, and hid it in his hand to read.
He squinted his eyes at first, then frowned, and then relaxed them again.
After reading it, he hid the note in his pocket and ordered everyone: "Everyone replenish fuel. We have just received the order from Duke Di. We will immediately go to Luoyun Valley to surround and kill the White Lotus Saint!" (End of Chapter)< br>
