C233 Tidy Riding (Next)

In the imperial city, people seemed to have long forgotten the bloody massacre five years ago. Almost everyone was immersed in the world of desires, whether it was drinking, sex, or money, no matter what, there would always be people with depraved desires. The only difference was that during those chaotic years, people could openly release these desires to make ugly crimes appear on the surface.

However, whether it was the turbulent chaos or peace and stability, it was as if a sword of Damocles was hanging over the heads of the nobles, reminding them that there was a difference between humans and animals. And the Surveillance Council was the 'Damocles sword' that was hanging above the head of the influential nobles.

"Clang!" The Capital Overwatch Council's gates, which had been tightly shut for a long time, opened with a bang. Then, the Surveillance Council's spies in black and one by one spurred their horses out of the gate.

Under the evening sky accompanied by the darkness, it suddenly gave off the terror of a demon coming out of its cages. There were even some guilty bandits who were so scared that they didn't even dare get out of their beds when they heard the news of Surveillance Council riding out from the cages. It was normal for them to urinate and urinate, because these people had all witnessed the bloody turmoil five years ago.

Surveillance Council's action attracted everyone's attention ?

Scene 1:

"What is Surveillance Council trying to do? Was she going to make a big move again? Let's not go to the Yi-Hong Yuan, let's hurry home! "

"Are you Biao, are you Biao? Do you think that the Surveillance Council and the rest of them can go and 'beat the crap out of them' if you have nothing better to do?!"

"Then, they can't possibly go to whoring, right?"

"..."

Scene II:

"I say, Old Li, isn't your baby on duty in the Imperial Court? Do you know what happened in the imperial court? Why were these demons of the Surveillance Council released again? "

"Bullsh * t. He's just a small official of the Ministry of Rites and Rites. He eats and laughs with me everyday. He almost lost his wife for that lousy official!"

"So your son is going to be a 'three-pei' every day? I heard that there's a house on the corner selling hats. If you have nothing to do, pick out a green band for your son! "

"..."

Scene 3:

"I heard that the Surveillance Council has moved out together! Is he going to kill people again? "

"Who knows?"

"Even the officials are all worried. When will we be able to make a comeback?"

"Who knows?"

"Your wife left her underwear at my place yesterday. Remember to come and get it later!"

"Who...? Who did you say fell to? "

"Who knows?"

? ?.

Under the guesses of the people of the imperial city, the Titian Cavalry of the Surveillance Council quickly left the city. After meeting up with the large group of five people from outside the city, they quickly headed north, heading towards the Fengyang County overnight.

At this time, in the mountain range far away from Fengyang County, there was a group of beggars dressed in shabby clothes. Not only did they look like beggars, even their bodies were emitting an unpleasant odor. If it weren't for the sabers at their waists and the broken fabric being made of high-quality silk, no one would have thought them to be beggars.

This group of people used a lot of effort to push several tens of carriages as they walked through the forest. They constantly scanned their surroundings for any movement, even if it was a bird cry or a bug cry, they would vigilantly watch them to make sure nothing happened before continuing on their way. This was not because they were being overly cautious, but rather a painful lesson from the past few days. They were constantly warning them that danger lurked in every direction, and that the plan was too deep and too terrifying.

This group of people were none other than the guards of the Duke Palace led by the envoy of the Ninth Prince, Shi Haowen. Those several tens of carriages were precisely carrying the five hundred thousand silver taels that they wanted to transport somewhere in the north.

Their encounters in the past few days were even more miserable. Bamboo sticks, rolling stones, brambles, knockout drugs, and so on were everywhere. It could even be described as a wretched sneak attack.

It was just like the attack a few days ago. After the cry of a bird, countless sharp objects rained down from the sky. It was like a rain; however, the raindrops were not water. After everything was over, everyone realized that these 'sharp objects' were actually small nails. The tips of the nails also showed signs of being sharpened. No wonder when they fell down, they could scratch a large piece of skin.

However, the most important issue was yet to come. With them as the center, the 'rain of nails' had covered an area of thirty meters. What do you mean by 'a dilemma?' This was what they called 'not being able to enter, not being able to retreat'. As long as he raised his leg, he wouldn't even know where his next kick would land.

It had already been half a day, and the sky was about to turn dark again. The night was also the one that these people were most worried about, taking advantage of the darkness of the night when the attack had reached its climax, and the tricks of the attack were even more dazzling.

Do you know what kind of attacks you are most afraid of in the jungle at night? It wasn't a fire attack, nor was it a splash of water, nor was it a sneak-attack with shouts and cries. It was an attack with the scent of snakes.

Once it was burned, it would float in the air and would immediately attract the attention of all the snake-shaped creatures within a hundred miles. Only they could smell the fragrance of this incense and be deeply attracted by it.

The ambushers just needed to throw the incense into the middle of the campsite while the other party was still in deep sleep, and then they would be able to leave with a pat on their butt. What followed next was a hair-raising scene. There were all kinds of snakes on the ground. Some were non-poisonous, some were highly toxic, some were of different shapes and sizes, and all of them spat out red cores.

Before the guards of the mansion were first attacked by this kind of snake-luring incense, they were tortured for several days by the attackers, they didn't eat well, they didn't sleep well, and that night, when all of them couldn't hold on any longer, almost all the guards slept like dead pigs, and this group of extremely despicable assailants didn't appear. The guards of the mansion were glad that they could finally have a good night's rest.

Who would have thought that on this night, their camp would be surrounded by so many snakes? The scene was extremely grand, and the torches were filled with densely packed snakes as they moved towards the center of the camp. If not for the fact that someone had woken up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, they would not have been discovered.

Faced with this situation, those who wanted to go to the toilet didn't even need to go there. They immediately peed their pants and used a trembling voice to wake their companions up.

Just like this, everyone stayed up all night, forcefully resisting until the sun rose. For some reason, the snake had already retreated. Fortunately, one of the guards was a hunter who came from the mountains, and he discovered the snake luring incense that had already burnt out in the middle of the camp. As a result, he reported this discovery to the Guard Commander and Special Envoy Shi Haowen, and only then did everyone know where this large group of snakes came from.

From then on, it became a habit for them to set fire to their own campsite before they went to sleep, and to sprinkle water all over the interior of the campsite. However, while they were changing, their opponents were also changing. Since the ground couldn't hold the Serpentine Incense anymore, they could only point it towards the treetops.

Once, the attacker was careless and forgot to extinguish the fire piston after lighting the incense. Afterwards, the attacker left. Who knew that the fire piston rolled onto a dry pile and ignited a mountain fire?

Those who had never seen mountain fires before did not know how terrifying they were, especially in the depths of the mountain fires, which spread endlessly, causing people to feel a chill. The road was covered in thick smoke and couldn't be seen clearly. As far as the eye could see, there was a man's height of flames. Huge logs were constantly falling from the sky. If he wasn't careful, he would be buried in the fire.

That night, because of the sudden burst of flames from the mountain, the guards of the prince's mansion had risked their lives to protect those silver taels. In the end, they all broke out of the encirclement of fire and mountains. Although the silver taels being protected were fine, they still paid the heavy price of eleven people's lives.

Of course, they had also chosen to take the main road before, but whenever they wanted to turn onto the main road, they would see an army swarming towards them. However, as long as they hid deep within the forest, the army would quickly leave! Although they did not understand what was going on, they did not dare to try. If these people were really the city guards of the surrounding cities, then once these silver taels were detained, they would have no choice but to commit suicide to atone for their crimes.

I'm afraid they won't know that this elusive Cavalry is just a disguise from the Listening Rain Pavilion. If they knew about this, they would probably vomit blood.

"Master Shi, we have to think of a way, our brothers did not have any rations on them in the first place, and all of our belongings were taken away by the random people outside the Fengyang City, and in the depths of the mountains, it is like 'I can't answer every day, we can't even call out properly', and if this goes on, I'm afraid that before we complete our mission, all of us would starve to death, and most of our brothers have not eaten for three days already, and the prey coming here aren't enough. For safety's sake, our people do not dare to go too far, for fear of being ambushed by those unknown forces!" This makes it even more difficult to find enough prey. " The Duke Palace Guard Commander said.

"I know what you're talking about, but we don't dare to go to the mainland right now, and you've also seen those elusive cavalry troops. On the other hand, even if we enter the city, do you have money or do I have money?" Shi Haowen said helplessly as he spread out his hands.

"But if this goes on, the morale will disperse. I'm afraid something bad might happen!" The Guard Commander said with a bitter face.

"Then what good idea do you have?" Shi Haowen sat on the horse carriage, looking like he was living a life of his own.

"There must be a village in the mountains, right? We'll try our best to find a village route, and when we meet these villagers, we can also ask for some food! " Guard Commander thought about it and suggested.

"This suggestion is not bad, but you are still a bit soft-hearted. What are we sending now? That's a lot of silver, and these are all for the prince to send to the north to improve the strength of his secret private army. How can he let those lowly commoners in the mountains see these things?" After Shi Haowen heard Guard Commander's suggestion, his eyes immediately opened wide as he agreed excitedly. Of course, he still had to correct this captain's short insight.

"Then what about Master Shi?" Guard Commander did not understand what happened and asked.

"Slaughter the village!" Shi Haowen answered with determination.
