Chapter 404: Compassionate
Since the two of them were currently in a dense forest and their sight was blocked, Yang Kai looked around and found nothing unusual. He listened carefully and did not hear any strange noises caused by human activities. This meant that although the Japanese pirates were nearby,
But there is still some distance from where the horses are tied.
After observing the surrounding situation, Yang Kai turned to look. Although he did not speak, his intention was very obvious. He was seeking opinions on how to deal with this situation.
He didn't speak immediately, but was thinking anxiously in his mind. The area where the two of them were currently was not on the Jianghuai border. The Japanese pirates who appeared here were undoubtedly sneaking in. More than a hundred horses meant that more than a hundred people were here. This time
What are the hundreds of Japanese pirates doing here?
Thinking about it carefully, there are only two possibilities, one is a sneak attack, the other is destruction, but he has been to this area before, there are no important cities nearby, and it is also far away from the camp where Tongchen garrisoned the Japanese pirates.
What is the goal of this trip?
I couldn't think of the reason for the moment, so I had to put it aside for the time being, "No matter what the Japanese pirates want to do, we can't let them escape unscathed."
Hearing the words, Yang Kai nodded silently, then lowered his hand and drew his sword.
Yang Kai's sword is called Gongbu, and it comes from the hand of the master swordsmith Ou Yezi. It is definitely a peerless magic weapon. Before the sword is completely unsheathed, the murderous aura is revealed. Several horses nearby instinctively sensed it.
Dangerous, he started to scream restlessly.
Seeing this, Yang Kai hurriedly pressed Yang Kai's long sword back into the scabbard, "No need to kill the horse, I have a way to deal with it. You first take away all the clothes on the horse's back."
Yang Kai nodded and went to collect the baggage and clothes draped on the horse's back, and then quickly walked past the horses, activating the pure Yin spiritual energy to seal the horses' Huantiao acupoints one by one.
Not only humans have acupoints, but also aliens. The acupoints of snakes, insects, rats and ants are difficult to determine, but the acupoints of horses are not difficult to find. The Huantiao acupoint is just outside the horse's butt. After sealing the Huantiao acupoint, the horse will not notice anything strange, but
You'll get cramps when you run hard.
In addition, the reason why it is necessary to pour a little pure Yin Qi into the acupoints is to avoid disturbing the horses. If the pure Yin Qi is not poured into the acupoints, the horses will feel pain when the acupoints are sealed. However, after pouring pure Yin Qi into the acupoints, the horses will only feel pain.
You will feel a little chilly.
When sealing the acupuncture points, pure Yin spiritual energy has been carefully controlled, because Qi practitioners will have their complexion revealed when they use spiritual energy. The more quickly the spiritual energy is activated, the more obvious the complexion will be, and if a small amount of spiritual energy is used slightly, the complexion will be extremely exposed.
Not obvious.
Although he was sealing the acupuncture points of the horses, he also noticed that the clothes Yang Kai took away included not only outer garments, but also middle garments. This discovery made him more and more puzzled as to what kind of medicine these Japanese pirates were selling in their gourds, and their ordinary disguises.
All you need to do is change your outer clothes. Why did these Japanese pirates even take off their inner clothes?
The Japanese pirates left too many clothes, and it didn't take long for Yang Kai to collect a large armful. Worried that the Japanese pirates would find him if he hid nearby, he could only bundle them together and send them out of the forest, then turn around and come back to continue.
Continue to collect.
He sealed the Huantiao points of all the horses one by one, and then together with Yang Kai took away the clothes left by the Japanese pirates on the horses. At this moment, he suddenly found a piece of tattered clothes on the ground. He picked it up and took a closer look. It was full of wounds.
It was full of holes and patches and was almost unwearable.
If you put your nose close and smell it, the smell is pungent and very sour.
I have been wandering for many days and have been in contact with too many victims and beggars. I am familiar with the smell on their bodies. This rag is undoubtedly worn by victims and beggars.
After a brief pause, he suddenly realized, "I know, they took off their clothes and pretended to be beggars."
At this time, Yang Kai was walking out of the forest with a pile of clothes. Hearing the words, he hurriedly stopped and turned around, "Are they going to blame the Beggar Clan?"
He walked over with a bundle of baggage in his arms and said, "No, they want to pretend to be victims of the disaster and attack the grain team transporting grain."
Yang Kai didn't understand why he came to such a conclusion, so he looked at it with doubtful eyes.
Carrying the baggage and clothes and walking forward, he said at the same time, "Some time ago I was seriously injured and fell into coma. When I woke up, I asked about the Jianghuai War. According to what Datou said, Tongchen led a large army to besiege the city and not attack. He wanted to convince people with his virtue.
The army surrendered without fighting, but was attacked by Japanese pirates. Not only five or six thousand people were killed and injured, but the Japanese pirates also burned the food and grass. What they fought was food and grass. If Tongchen lost the food and grass, the court would definitely have to expedite the transportation.
."
He walked to the side of the road and threw down the baggage and clothes he was holding, then pointed to the northeast, "Did you see that there were torches shining on the official road twenty miles away?"
Yang Kai followed the direction and looked into the distance. It was just past mid-day, and there was a waning moon in the sky. The light of the torch was not conspicuous under the moonlight, and the distance was far away, so the view was very unreal.
"Where is the official position?" Yang Kai asked.
Nodding, "Yes, we are walking on a small road now. That is the official road. These Japanese pirates pretend to be disaster victims in order to sneak attack on the food team. Tongchen is in urgent need of food and grass at this time. If something happens to these food and grass again, the army of 100,000 people may be killed."
Even safe evacuation is a problem, and Sun Ru will definitely take the opportunity to pursue and annihilate them."
At this time, there were still a lot of clothes in the forest that had not been taken away, so Yang Kai turned around and walked into the forest, "Since they already know the route of the grain team, wouldn't it be better to just ride out on horseback? They can advance quickly and retreat calmly.
, why go to all the trouble to pretend to be a beggar?”
Following Yang Kai, "Tongchen is not stupid either. He has been burned once. He will definitely be wary of the enemy trying his old tricks again. If I guess correctly, the grain team must have a large number of experts accompanying him for protection. The reason why the Japanese pirates have to pretend
The reason for being a beggar is to get close to the grain team and attack the masters escorting the grain and grass at close range."
Seeing Yang Kai frown slightly, knowing that he was suspicious, he said again, "Monks are compassionate and kind to others. When they see beggars and homeless people, they will definitely give alms to help. The Japanese pirates take advantage of their compassion and kindness."
"How despicable it is to take advantage of the monk's kindness to attack and cause harm." Yang Kai said coldly.
"This is not the first time I've learned this," he nodded, "our opponents are terrible and will do anything they can."
While the two were talking, they took away the remaining baggage and clothes. After returning to the forest, Yang Kai looked at him with questioning eyes again.
He looked at the pile of clothes in front of him, then turned around and saw that there was no suitable hiding place nearby, and he was not allowed to set fire to it. In desperation, he could only wave his hands and said, "Bundle them and take them away." ??
"Do you have enough time?" Yang Kai looked into the distance to the northeast.
"There's enough time." He said.
After a while, the two of them rode on the road carrying large and small bags.
"Once we show up, the Japanese pirates will know that we have arrived in Jianghuai." Yang Kai said.
Nodding, Yang Kai reminded that it was necessary to remind him that there were more than a hundred people coming from the other side. Even if the horses were tampered with, it would be extremely difficult to annihilate all the enemies. Once a few of them ran away, the news would inevitably leak out.
.
But knowing that the Japanese pirates were going to attack the food team, we couldn't just stay aloof and watch.
After thinking anxiously, he said, "You go around from the north and notify the officers and soldiers escorting the grain and fodder and the Buddhist masters in advance. I will continue to the east. Do you see the small hill to the east? To the east of the hill is the only way for the official road to pass.
Road, I'll hide there and wait and see."
Hearing the words, Yang Kai nodded slowly, then shook the reins and urged the horse to gallop north.
Continuing eastward, as the distance approached, he was worried that the sound of horse hooves would alert the enemy, so he reined in his horse and slowed down, gradually approaching the eastern hills through the cover of trees in the mountains.
This is a small mound. There are not many trees on the top of the mountain, but it is enough to hide your figure and overlook the official road.
From a high position, the situation on the official road is clear. In an open area not far from the hill, a group of victims are resting around several bonfires to keep warm. Among them are not only adult men, but also old people and women. Some of the women are actually
She was still holding the swaddling clothes, and the baby in the swaddling clothes was still crying.
He hated these ungrateful white-eyed wolves, but he did not dare to underestimate the enemy's mind at all, because good people are not necessarily smart and bad people are not necessarily stupid. The children carried by the Japanese pirates at the foot of the mountain were undoubtedly snatched in order to mislead those
Monk, this group of Japanese pirates paid great attention to details. Not only were they unkempt and ragged, they even brought in a few dilapidated wooden carts.
At this time, the vanguard of the grain team was less than two miles away from here. The Japanese pirates were already in the state. They did not talk in low voices, but pretended to be helpless and confused as fleeing people.
However.
From a high place, you can see the situation in the northwest. Yang Kai has already circled around on horseback, which means that Yang Kai has already greeted the grain team and informed them that the victims they encountered later were Japanese pirates in disguise.
The grain team was no better than the army and moved very slowly. Seeing Mr. Hei grazing nearby, he walked over and unloaded the large and small bags to make it easier for him.
Not long after, Yang Kai made a detour and returned, meeting him at the same place.
Without waiting to ask questions, Yang Kai spoke in a low voice, "In addition to the two thousand soldiers sent by the imperial court, there are also three hundred monk soldiers and two purple energy masters. I have already explained the situation to them."
nodded.
At this time, the food team was already close, less than a hundred feet away from the open area where the Japanese pirates were resting.
Regarding the arrival of the food team, the group of victims disguised as Japanese pirates were very panicked and looked timidly in the direction where the food team appeared.
Possibly due to Yang Kai's warning and reminder, two middle-aged monks wearing red cassocks walked at the front of the team, followed by a large number of monk soldiers holding ring sticks.
Fifty feet, twenty feet, the distance gradually shortened, until the distance was no more than ten feet, and the monk escorting them never had the intention to take action.
Yang Kai looked at him doubtfully and said nothing. The monk didn't take action probably because he was still far away.
However, he soon discovered that he had thought wrong, because the group of monks had not made any move until they were in front of the victims disguised by the Japanese pirates. After sizing up the group of Japanese pirates, the two leading monks frowned and looked at each other in confusion.
"Have you told them who you are?" asked in a low voice.
"As I said, the two leading monks know that I was assigned by you." Yang Kai said.
Hearing Yang Kai's words, his brows furrowed, but the monk never took action, indicating that he had doubts about his own judgment, and to put it bluntly, he just didn't believe him.
Just as the two leading monks looked at each other, the cries of children came from the swaddling clothes in the arms of several women.
Hearing the children crying, the two leading monks became more and more hesitant. Seeing this, several Japanese pirates who were closer to them knelt down and prayed for rice.
Seeing that the Japanese pirates might launch a surprise attack at any time, but the monks were still hesitating, Yang Kai gritted his teeth angrily, "If you are foolish, kind and corrupt, you will not regret death."
His mood at this time was exactly the same as that of Yang Kai. He knew the methods of the Japanese pirates. At this time, the leading monk had already entered the Japanese pirates' attack range. If the Japanese pirates made a sneak attack at this time, the two of them would be seriously injured even if they did not die.
Seeing a group of monks in danger but not knowing it, being warned but hesitant to pay attention, he was so angry that he didn't care about hiding his whereabouts. He stretched out his spiritual energy and grabbed the Japanese pirate's clothes from the air, and activated the pure Yang spiritual energy to ignite and throw them out, "Not yet."
