Chapter 44 Masked Man
Lin Shuyue looked around, and entered the space with Weifeng and Xuebao.
She took out the phantom wooden hairpin she had signed in for previously from the cabinet in the thatched hut and put it on her head.
In a moment, her appearance changed into that of an ordinary man, and even her hairstyle became the common bun for men.
Then she took out a pair of height-increasing insoles and stuffed them into her shoes, instantly raising her height by ten centimeters.
Then she put on the black shorts that Li had prepared for her and swallowed a voice-changing pill.
Lin Shuyue immediately turned into an ordinary-looking young man about seven feet tall.
Xue Bao and Wei Feng looked at Lin Shuyue in amazement. If they hadn't watched their sister change her clothes the whole time, they would have thought that a stranger had broken into the space.
Seeing the two stunned looks, Lin Shuyue burst into laughter, then flashed out of the space.
Lin Shuyue walked to the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain where she was. She lightly tapped her toes and flew to the gate of the opposite village as light as a feather.
Then he flew up to the watchtower silently and scattered a handful of intoxicating breeze into the tower.
She stood in the watchtower and looked into the village.
The layout of the entire village is somewhat like an enlarged version of a modern courtyard house with a large open space in the middle.
There are archery targets, plum blossom stakes, knife racks, etc. on the open space, which looks like a martial arts training ground.
In the far right corner of the clearing, there is a huge cage.
There were some weak men lying in the cages. They should be the refugees who were captured by the refugees.
From time to time, you can see patrol teams passing through the village.
After confirming the layout of the village, Lin Shuyue flew to the roof and lifted up the tiles of every house to check.
Finally, in a room on the east side, she found the person she was looking for.
"My Lord, you have worked hard on the journey. Everything in the village is normal recently.
That is...some refugees escaped a few days ago. Do you want us to catch some more?"
At the bottom of the tea table, there was a gentle-looking man in a green shirt.
A young man of about 25 was bowing and speaking respectfully to a man wearing a golden eagle mask who was taking a fox fur cloak.
The masked man did not speak. He just threw his cloak on the couch, walked to the tea table, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
After a while, a hoarse voice sounded,
“No need, the man we captured has no fighting skills and only dares to rob the refugees.
There are many wealthy people fleeing on this road. It would be a pity if we don’t take action. Tomorrow I will arrange for those people in the valley to do this.”
The masked man glanced at the man in green, and the young man nodded and lowered his eyebrows.
"Okay, I understand. Do you want to keep the captured person?"
"Kill them, these people are of no use to us." The masked man said casually.
“The most urgent thing right now is to transport food there.
During this period of time, you should keep enough food for 500 people for one month and put it in the warehouse.
After daybreak, you can pick some good and tight-lipped men to transport all the remaining food and money to Pingzhou."
The man in green shirt was a little hesitant when he heard this: "Is it enough to leave only one month's worth of food? Could it be..."
As if he thought of something, the man in green shirt suddenly looked a little excited, and looked at the masked man sitting upstairs with a flushed face.
"Yes, it's just as you thought. Work hard, and you will be indispensable in the success of the army.
We work under the general, and the general is that person's uncle, so he will definitely not treat us unfairly."
The masked man spoke with great conviction.
Lin Shuyue lay on the roof and listened for a long time, feeling a little impatient. Why were there so many mosquitoes on the roof?
She endured the itch and gently lifted a tile, letting in a handful of intoxicating breeze.
After a while, two "thump" sounds were heard in the room.
After confirming that everything was fine, Lin Shuyue flew down from the roof. There was no one guarding the door of the east room. Perhaps the masked man had sent them away when he came back.
This just happened to save Lin Shuyue some Zui Qing Feng. This is a good stuff. It is colorless and odorless, and the effect is fast.
After entering the house, she closed the door and turned to look at the two men lying on the ground.
Lin Shuyue, the man in green, had some guesses. This man should be the military advisor Song mentioned by Li Liang.
Then, Lin Shuyue looked at the other masked man and sneered, "Why are you still wearing a mask? You must know that you have done something shameful."
She directly lifted the mask of the masked man, revealing an ordinary, dark-skinned face.
Throwing the mask in his hand away, Lin Shuyue picked up the teapot on the table.
He poured some tea into the teacup, then took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it into the teacup. The talisman paper dissolved as soon as it entered the water.
Lin Shuyue planned to use a truth talisman on the masked man. She didn't have the time and patience to interrogate him, so she just fed him a truth talisman and told him to just ask whatever he wanted to know.
Lin Shuyue roughly pried open the masked man's mouth and poured tea into it.
After waiting for a moment, she seemed to remember something, took out a bottle of detoxification pills from the space, and poured out one.
Just as she was about to stuff it into the masked man's mouth, she hesitated again, holding the small pill and the Flowing Sword.
He gently scraped the surface of the pill a few times, and the powder fell into the teacup. He then added some water to the cup and poured it into the masked man.
This time, the masked man woke up in less than a moment.
He opened his eyes and looked at Lin Shuyue with fear in his eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you here?!"
It was Lin Shuyue’s first time using the Truth Talisman, and she circled around him out of curiosity.
"What's your name? Where are you from? Who did you take orders from before? Tell us everything that happened recently."
The masked man was annoyed and was about to curse, but he was horrified to find that he seemed to have no control over his mouth and told everyone his background, recent deeds and information about his previous master.
Lin Shuyue was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She didn’t expect that this truth talisman was so useful!
According to the masked man, his name is Jiang Chao and he was originally a gangster in Pingyuan Prefecture.
Later, because of his supernatural powers, he was recruited by General Tong Weiren, who was guarding Pingyuan Prefecture, and followed him for seven years.
Five months ago, the previous county magistrate of Yufeng County, Mr. Qin, successfully wiped out the bandits in the mountain stronghold with the help of the three Li Long brothers.
Then Jiang Chao followed the order and took dozens of soldiers to occupy Yuhu Mountain, waiting for Tong Weiren's instructions.
Until four months ago, Tong Weiren suddenly sent an army of 500 people and asked Jiang Chao and others to hide the team in the mountains and train them secretly.
A team of 500 people required a lot of food every day. In the beginning, in order not to alert the enemy, Jiang Chao sent several people to buy the food in the mountain stronghold from grain shops in different counties in Anqing Prefecture.
But who would have thought that a drought would hit Anqing Prefecture, causing a poor harvest and a rapid increase in grain prices.
He wrote another letter back to Pingyuan Prefecture, who simply replied that they should solve the problem themselves.
Just at this time, a young man named Song Yu came to the mountain village and expressed his desire to follow Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao suddenly had an idea and told Song Yu about the food problem.
If Song Yu can come up with a good idea, he will accept it.
