From Shadowguard to Queen [Transmigration Book]

76

On the eighth day of the investigation in Mianzhou, You Shu still failed to see the military adviser again, and had to stop trying to find clues from him.

But these days are not without gains. You Shu disguised himself and went around to explore the bottom these days, which still allowed him to find out the details of Huzhou.

Counting the city guards, Liu Tiezhu probably has [-] men in his hands, but they only came out this time with [-], which is definitely not an advantage in terms of numbers.You Shu was a little worried. Although most of the plot descriptions in the book showed Xiao Weixin's various bravery, he was still worried. There were many cases in history where less won more, but after he inspected these days, Liu Tiezhu His men are not vegetarian either.

He drew the patrolling soldiers and defense situation in the city that he observed on the paper. The paper was as thin as a cicada's wing. Even if it was folded, it was not one-tenth of the thickness of normal paper. He stuffed the drawings under the kingfisher's feathers , Watching it gradually fly away, let out a long sigh of relief.

It stands to reason that he has completed the task now, as long as he finds a suitable opportunity to leave tonight, but You Shu is more cautious than others in his work. He always feels that there is something weird in this city, so he plans to go again Stay a few more days and see.

At lunch time, he went downstairs to the lobby to eat, maybe he could learn something from the shopkeeper.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper lived up to expectations, and sighed while guarding the desolate and empty inn: "If this continues, my place will really close..."

"I heard there was a war?" You Shu asked casually, it started to rain lightly outside the window, and the weather was a bit cooler, he planned to go back to his room after dinner to catch up on sleep.

The shopkeeper sighed, "Yeah, yesterday the military adviser led people to fight with the emperor's people in Qizhou. There were a lot of casualties on both sides, and I don't know who will win and who will win."

You Shu silently clenched his chopsticks, and said, "Who is the military advisor?"

"I don't know." The shopkeeper shook his head, "I only heard that I found the leader myself, and no one knows where he came from."

Xiao Er chewed the peanuts and shouted: "It is said that the military advisor himself brought a lot of people here. Liu Tiezhu didn't have so many people under his command before, but now more than half of them are from the military advisor."

You Shu frowned, "Where does the military division get the manpower?"

No matter how you look at it, this matter is a bit weird. You Shu was absent-minded after eating a meal, and a gust of wind blew in from outside the lobby door, carrying drizzle. Why is there always a scent?"

"Scent? Is it there?" The shopkeeper was a little dazed, "Maybe there is... We have been here for a long time, and we can't smell it much."

Xiao Er also said at this time: "This smell has been wafting for several months. At first, everyone was puzzled, but later they got used to it."

"It's strange to say that if you smell this fragrance too much, you will feel refreshed, and if you don't smell it for a day, you still feel a little uncomfortable."

You Shu frowned again.

No more useful information could be obtained from the shopkeeper, so You Shu went upstairs to rest after eating, and heard that the gate of the city had been closed because of the war, and it would be troublesome for him to leave the city in two days.

You Shu thought about these things and slowly fell asleep.

I don't know what happened, but he actually had a dream.In the dream, he was in a large sea of ​​flowers, and his nostrils and chest were filled with those strange fragrances, while he was in it, his whole body was buoyant, his soul seemed to be able to fly out of his body, and there were even many strange things in front of him. The picture is flashing, like a dream, very unreal.

You Shu opened his eyes suddenly, the rain outside had stopped.He sat up from the bed and wiped the sweat from his head. It seemed that the beautiful and weird picture in the dream was still in front of him. He got out of bed and poured a glass of water, and turned his head to look out the window. It was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Unable to fall back to sleep, he casually fetched water to wipe off the wet sweat on his body, changed into clean clothes, and went out again.

It was very cool after a rain just outside. You Shu was walking on the long street, surrounded by all kinds of panic passers-by. He heard them discuss that King Ling had led people to take down Qizhou and severely injured the leader. People and horses, it will be a matter of time before they get here.

You Shu couldn't help feeling relieved, it seemed that the original main plot line was still there, and his prince could still win.

He wandered around the street, and gradually walked to a place with few people. It was a relatively desolate area in the west of the city. It used to be called a big prison, but after the cell was moved away, this place was executed as a felon. Use it for the first time, and usually no one will come.

It was cloudy again today, walking in this place, You Shu felt like the surrounding wind was blowing. If he hadn't come from a bodyguard, he would have seen a lot of killings, and he would be scared to death if he was a little timid.

The more You Shu walked in, the more gloomy he felt, suddenly a few guards with big knives rushed out from the side of the road, facing him fiercely: "What are you doing!?"

"I'm sorry." You Shu hurriedly took two steps back, showing a frightened expression, "The little one just lost his way and didn't know where to go."

The guards with the knives looked at each other and said viciously, "This is not a place for you, get out!"

You Shu hurriedly took two steps back, turned around and walked away quickly, but hid when turning a corner, turned over on the roof, and peeked below through the tall grass on the top.

He always thought that there was no one in this place, but it was not. From this angle, there were many guards wearing the same clothes below, and it was impossible to tell who they were.They were in a hurry, carrying a big box and walking out of the city, not knowing what they were going for.

You Shulue followed after thinking about it, he wanted to see what this group of people were going to do.

The gate of the city has been closed. The group of people went out through a small side gate in the west of the city. There were still people guarding the gate. You Shu waited for them to leave and then quietly shot a few silver needles. The two guards fell down in response, and he also Taking the opportunity to chase out from the side door.

The soldiers carrying the box walked quickly, and You Shu followed behind, judging from the depth of the footprints, the box should be empty.

What are you going to do with an empty suitcase?

You Shu couldn't figure it out, so he could only continue to follow behind them.Their route has been heading west, turning around many uninhabited trails, and passing a random|burial|post. The more they go, the more desolate they are. Unless someone is out of their minds, normal people will never walk this way. way.

After about an hour, You Shu saw that the group of guards turned a corner and disappeared, and immediately chased after them. There was a large army base, guarded by several guards on the watchtower, and many Soldiers in armor patrolled back and forth.

You Shu did some calculations, and found that this small place was guarded by about two to three thousand people, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Those who carried the boxes didn't come out after entering through the gate. You Shu looked at the dozen or so guards on duty on the high platform, thought for a while and didn't act rashly, and waited patiently in the grass for the night to come.

As time goes by, the sunset gradually sinks, and the sky is blood red, which always reminds people of something bad. You Shu waited until the sun completely set and the sky darkened before he dared to approach the camp a little bit carefully, sneaking all the way from the corner, covering He grabbed the mouth of a lone guard and dragged him into the haystack, twisted his neck, quickly changed his clothes, and left him in a farther place without being noticed.

He sneaked in by pretending to be a soldier. He was always concerned about the people who carried the boxes, but he didn't find any place to put the boxes after walking around the camp. He took a look at this place, and he became more and more sure that the military commander must He was doing something behind Liu Tiezhu's back, otherwise it would be completely impossible to explain why he built a camp in this place without permission.

The night can give him a good cover, You Shu found the back door of the camp all the way, picked the lock of the back door and walked out when no one was looking.There was a small path going down the mountain. He carefully moved down a little bit without the help of a torch. With the occasional moonlight, he could see a dark abyss under his feet. If he took a wrong step, there might be no bones left.

You Shu's forehead was densely covered with sweat, and his whole body was tightly packed, for fear of stepping on the ground.It took him a long time to slowly touch the mountain, and he was greatly relieved when his feet landed on the ground.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

You Shu turned around, took a few steps forward and then froze.

Although it was night now, torches were lit everywhere in this place, illuminating the surrounding area brightly, so he could fully see what was in front of him.

In front of him was a large stretch of flowers that could not be seen, and it was bright red as far as the eye could see. There were heavy fruits hanging on the branches of many flowers. Even at night, the bright red color seemed to sting people's eyes.

You Shu's breathing was full of strong floral fragrance, he felt a little dizzy, his whole body was weak, he had a feeling of being paralyzed, he suddenly felt that his whole body began to float, and he couldn't help but want to take another deep breath of it fragrance.

Just when he was about to lose himself, You Shu pierced his palm fiercely with the sleeve arrow, blood splashed from the palm, and with the pain, his consciousness gradually became clear.

You Shu looked at the endless flowers in front of him covered in cold sweat, trembling uncontrollably all over.

The ancients may not know what this thing is, that's because the technology information is underdeveloped, and they rarely see it, but as a modern person, You Shu saw it when he was taking a safety knowledge education class at the university. The teachers had repeatedly told him that if he saw it Anyone who grows this kind of plant in a large area must call the police.

I thought its name was Poppy|Poppy.

You Shu finally understood where the numbing and refreshing fragrances in the city came from.

He stepped forward a few steps, carefully cut off one of the plants with a dagger, then took off his coat, wrapped it and stuffed it in his arms. He originally wanted to stay in the city to investigate further, but he changed his mind after seeing this thing.

Go back and tell Xiao Weixin immediately.

As soon as You Shu hid the things, he heard a roar from behind: "Who!?"

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of uniform footsteps, and there were at least dozens of people.

You Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he ran forward desperately without stopping.The poppies had paralyzed his nerves just now, and he didn't hide his tracks well.

Fortunately, it was still dark, so he should be able to escape.
