Chapter 6606 Traces
When the two of them were far away and could no longer see their figures, the old man slowly climbed up from the ground, wiped off the dust on his clothes, and revealed his wrinkled face. A look of hatred.
“A group of jackals will end badly sooner or later.” The old man hummed softly.
He didn't dare to speak loudly. Who knows if the two people would be hiding somewhere and eavesdropping?
The old man stood up, closed the courtyard door, and blocked it with wooden bolts. Then he walked towards the inner courtyard.
...
In a few days, the news that the rear guard wanted to transport jewelry had spread throughout the world.
In a teahouse, due to the lockdown, a few people were sitting sparsely.
"The rear guard wants to transport jewelry? Shouldn't this kind of information be kept confidential?"
"Confidential? What can be kept confidential? When this batch of jewelry was found, there were several people nearby. As for person No. 10, everyone can see it.”
"Hey, I'm not talking about whether the jewelry was found, but when the jewelry was delivered, and the news that Princess Dedema took a fancy to an item."
"This is all the soldiers of the rear guard themselves. That said, they don't care about leaking secrets at all. I suspect they want to lure a few people over to rob them so that they can be easily arrested. I want to increase my performance."
"This is most likely, those people are fishing, and the bait is the so-called jewelry."
"Go and drink tea. Don’t talk about state affairs.”
When the tea guests were chatting, the teahouse owner came out personally to drive them away.
Whether this business can be done or not in the recent period is just a matter of fact, but if it offends those people from the Mongolian tribe, the small teahouse will not be able to bear it.
"Don't be afraid, boss, let's stop talking now."
"Yes, boss, we are all good citizens. We have known each other for so long, how can we still not know."
Everyone who was talking stopped talking, not wanting to say anything more.
They are just talking about it, but if they want to get serious, they will be afraid.
The best way for ordinary people to survive is to be wise and protect themselves. There is nothing they can do about it.
Because the power of the people is weak, they are like ants in the face of the general trend.
Such scenes appeared on many streets in the city, and the news quickly began to spread.
In the early morning of this day, three soldiers from the rear guard came out from the back door.
It’s just that each of them carries a backpack, wears a sword on his body, does not wear armor, and goes into battle lightly.
Walking at the front was a tall man with a black beard on his chin, a felt hat on his head, and a scarf made of fox tail around his neck, showing that he was no ordinary rear guard. A soldier, but a soldier of great status.
The three of them walked outside in a formation. They didn't say anything, but moved forward slowly and steadily.
After walking for more than half a block, I changed to another road. Not only did I not encounter anything dangerous, I didn't even see anyone.
When the common people see it from a distance, they have already hid. Who dares to really come out?
If they are accidentally involved in a battle, many of them are ordinary people with families. They cannot throw away their lives just because they want to watch the fun.
"Are you rearguard soldiers?" Suddenly, a loud voice sounded.
A figure emerged from the street corner.
This man has a handsome face, is wearing armor, and has his hand on the handle of the knife. The embroidery on his hat and collar shows that he is a noble of extremely high status.
"Who are you?" asked the bearded man among the three.
“With your blind eyes, can’t you recognize General Ben Ulihan?” Ulihan yelled with his eyes wide open.
"It turns out to be General Wulihan. Please forgive me." The bearded man said with a military salute.
"You don't need to go to the headquarters to see His Highness, just give the things to me, the general." Wulihan raised his eyebrows. "General...that warrant..." The bearded man hesitated to speak.
"The warrant is here, take it."
General Ullihan took out a piece of paper from his pocket very unhappily...
The bearded man bent over and approached, reaching out to take the piece of paper in Ullihan's hand.
Just as the bearded man’s finger came close to the paper, a sudden change occurred.
A silver light shot out from between the bearded man's fingers. Because the speed was too fast, the silver light hit Wulihan's finger at the tiger's mouth and penetrated deeply.
Ulihan stepped on the ground with his feet, and he immediately began to retreat, his body sliding backwards, but the wind roared, and there was a sword light shining behind him.
At the same time, a cold light flashed from the side.
There were extremely skilled masters on all three sides. After being hit by the silver needle, Wulihan's physical strength dissipated rapidly. Under the siege of the three people, he could not escape at all.
The sword light pierced Wulihan's body, and the cold light from the side also hit Wulihan's body.
Ulihan fell to the ground, unable to move.
Soon he was tightly controlled by three people with ropes.
"Zi Yan, come and search me." The sergeant standing at the back said.
"Yes, I'll do it."
The bearded man spoke again, but his voice changed.
It was no longer the rough man's voice at the beginning, but became a woman's voice.
Zi Yan reached out and groped around Wulihan's body, checking out many small objects.
"Stop him and take him away."
"Okay."
In the backyard of Zui Renxiang Inn.
The person tied to the chair showed a woman's face.
"It is indeed a woman pretending to be a woman. Could it be the puppet master?" Luo Fengtang held his chin with his fingers, thoughtfully.
"Probably not, but it must have something to do with the puppet master." Zi Yan said lightly.
"This time we pretended to be rear guard soldiers, and the operation was considered a success... It is difficult for the puppet masters to do it themselves. After all, the uncertainty is too great. Puppet masters are generally extremely cautious."
"Ask. Let's see if we can dig out some clues about this person," Luo Fengtang said.
"Don't have high hopes, this woman is probably a puppet of the puppet master." Zi Yan frowned.
“Aren’t the puppet masters’ puppets all made of paper?” Luo Fengtang asked doubtfully. He did not know the puppet master well.
“Puppet masters will not only use props as puppets, they may also use living creatures as puppets. The living creatures may be birds and animals, or they may be humans, so puppet masters are obviously in the world. Many people have been offended, but only a handful of puppet masters have been caught.”
Purple smoke.
"Does using a living person as a puppet mean to coerce others? Is this method too common?" Luo Fengtang felt that it was very common to use a living person.
"It's different. The methods of the puppet masters are very strange. They often brainwash someone into becoming their own substitute. This brainwashing method is the secret technique passed down by the puppet masters. How exactly is it done? I I don’t know.” Zi Yan said.
"Just do your best. Even if you can't find anything special out of this person, it's already a victory if you can seduce the puppet master this time."
Luo Fengtang said slowly: "I believe in a saying that everyone who walks by will leave traces... The puppet master has already left traces when she takes action."
