Chapter 196 Human Spy (1/2)
The army camp of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom is stationed on a mountain opposite to the wall of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the past few days, Fatty Chen led the human army and attacked fiercely like a mad dog, which made the demons a little confused.
I don’t understand what happened to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why did they suddenly go so crazy?
The commander of the army of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom is a demon in the shape of a big black bear, called General Xiong.
He is tall and burly, with human facial features, but with black bear-like hair and limbs.
"General Xiong, the evil cultivators in the Great Zhou Dynasty sent information."
General Xiong was thinking hard with his hands behind his back at this time, and a thin demon with a long tail behind him walked in.
"What information?"
"The evil cultivators and traitors have resold a batch of military supplies from the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are ready to send them over after a while and find an opportunity."
The skinny demon said, and handed over a jade slip with both hands.
General Xiong took the jade slip and cast a complex spell on it.
This is an encrypted jade slip that stores information that can only be opened and read in a special way.
If it is not used properly, the jade slip will burst.
General Xiong used his spiritual sense to probe into the jade slip, and after checking the information inside, the jade slip broke.
The jade slip contains a lot of information, including intelligence from all aspects.
Speaking of it, it is really worthwhile for the Wan Yao Kingdom to raise this group of human traitors, and the return is huge, much better than raising livestock such as dogs.
Spreading human traitors into the Great Zhou Dynasty has reaped a lot of rewards in recent years.
Just destroying the logistics of the Great Zhou army has given the army of the Wan Yao Kingdom an advantage.
Dazhou has no logistics supply replenishment, and every battle can only be cautious and dare not consume too much.
However, among the information received today, there is one that makes him alert.
According to the report of the human traitor, the two newly appointed grain officials of the Great Zhou disappeared after being secretly received by Fatty Chen.
Logically speaking, the Great Zhou army is seriously short of logistics supplies, and it is just the time to use people, so how could they disappear?
The time when these two people disappeared coincided with the time when Fatty Chen launched a mad dog-like counterattack.
After such a comparative analysis, he has realized that perhaps Fatty Chen also wants to send people to infiltrate his side.
Because he often does this kind of thing, he subconsciously guessed in this direction.
"What are the names of the two missing Da Zhou officials?"
"One is called Yang Tie, a veteran official, and a very cunning person..."
"The other is Zhang Ergou, nicknamed Er Gouzi, the governor of Sanyang County, a young man who feeds pigs and chops wood. He knows nothing except farming!"
Based on the information obtained from the intelligence, the mouse demon has long known the nearby Da Zhou officials.
"Make hundreds of copies of their portraits and quietly pass them to the rear. If you see these two people, arrest them. It's best to keep them alive."
"The general is wise. Your admiration for the general is like the water of a surging river, which is endless..."
…………
After Yang Tie and Er Gouzi decided to be lazy and lazy, their entire mental state was relaxed, just like going out for fun.
The two bypassed the battlefield overnight and arrived at the rear of the battlefield of the Wan Yao Kingdom.
Most people in the Wan Yao Kingdom are similar to Yushan, looking half human and half demon.
Some look more like humans, and some look more like demons.
There are not many normal people, and there are not many normal demons.
However, most of their places are similar to the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are also people farming, some doing business, and some robbing...
The two dared not show up in the form of human beings, so they could only hide in a deserted place for three days.
But hiding like this is not a good way to keep going. At least they have to get some supplies back to report.
General Chen gave them 50 storage bags each, so they had to pick up some even if they were broken and put a few storage bags back.
The two did not dare to mess with the military warehouse of the Ten Thousand Monsters. They could only hide during the day and go out at night, wearing a black cloak that could make them invisible, and wandering around the nearby monster village.
If they saw anything valuable in the village, they would put it into the storage bag.
Anyway, there were no masters in such a small village. With the strength of the two of them in the foundation-building period, they could naturally do whatever they wanted.
However, the two of them emptied all the valuable items in the monster village, and there were not many things.
Although the small village was safe, there was not much oil and water in the small village, and it had to be divided between the two of them. After discussion, they decided to act separately.
"We will contact each other again with the communication talisman in ten days."
"Goodbye!"
After Er Gouzi separated from Yang Tie, he began to use his spiritual consciousness to transform his appearance.
He did not tell anyone that he could transform his appearance. If people knew that he was the butterfly fairy, it would be a big trouble.
At first, he transformed into a snake man, but after walking a few steps, he couldn't adapt to the crooked steps.
Then he transformed into a bear man, with human facial features, walking upright, but with thick black hair.
Walking around the Wan Yao Kingdom like this, he felt much freer, and no one doubted him anymore.
He scouted during the day and moved things into the village at night. He did harvest some food and supplies, and even stole two cows, five pigs, dozens of chickens, and three dogs.
Naturally, he didn't plan to hand these creatures over to General Chen. He threw them into the gourd and let Yushan raise them.
After several years of hard work, he has built a piece of land of dozens of acres in the gourd.
Yushan stayed in the gourd most of the time to farm.
In particular, every time he was going out and leaving Shekou Mountain, he would definitely take Yushan with him.
Nothing else, since they are a family, he can't stand Yushan leaving his sight and will miss him all the time.
In order to reduce Yushan's labor intensity, he can save time to plant more land.
Er Gouzi burned all the newly collected soil and stones with fire, and burned all the remaining grass seeds in them.
In the future, as long as no other wild grass seeds are brought in, there will be no more weeds growing.
However, grass seeds are too tenacious. Even if there is a little mud on the soles of shoes and a little dust on clothes, there may be grass seeds.
Even pouring some manure on the land may carry live grass seeds.
"Yushan, I'm in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters. Do you want to go back to your hometown?"
"It's good here. I don't miss home now!"
"Okay, then you go ahead and do it. I won't bother you."
Er Gouzi was a little disappointed. He wanted Yushan to be a guide, but he gave up after thinking about it.
He has been sneaking around in some villages recently, and the harvest is too little. He has long been tired of it.
So he wanted to get something big, and stop after stealing a big one.
Anyway, he had already accumulated rich experience in this area.
These two days, he found a small monster city nearby and scouted around to inquire about the situation inside.
When he learned that there were no high-level strongmen inside, he walked in with a swagger in the image of a bear man.
There were not many people in this city, which was about the size of a county town.
The residents inside were all monsters of various appearances.
After he entered the city, he had already spread his spiritual sense and wandered around the city for a day.
As for which family was rich and which was poor, the warehouse of the city lord was clearly known.
In particular, he found that there was a group of monster war horses here.
The citizens of the Wan Yao Kingdom are all half-monsters, and they are also particularly good at taming various monsters, raising monsters to work, fight, eat meat, etc.
Therefore, taming monsters is one of the important industries of the Wan Yao Kingdom.
After Er Gouzi found out the situation in the city, he found a place to live at random.
When it was dark, he put on his cloak, hid his figure, walked into the streets and alleys, and visited every household.
There was a lot of food in this house, and there was also a basket of salted eggs, which he collected.
There were several kitchen knives in this kitchen, which could be taken away and used as military supplies.
This family was extraordinary, raising two monster golden pigs, weighing more than 500 kilograms, which were stored in the gourd.
Finally, he found the city lord's house. This city lord was a monster with a bull's head and a human body, which was equivalent to the strength of a human in the late stage of Qi training.
The city lord's warehouse was also full of rotten and moldy food that could not be eaten.
He also found a batch of elixirs and some spiritual medicines.
The most important thing was that the city lord's family raised more than a dozen monster war horses.
These horses were slender, up to ten feet tall, and had the strength of the early stage of Qi training.
All these monster war horses were stored in the gourd.
Er Gouzi made it very clear when he was working. What he put into the gourd was his own, and what he put into the storage bag was taken back to report.
The good stuff went into the gourd first, and the rest was stuffed into the storage bag.
It took only one night to move all the valuable things in the city, and no one was alarmed during the period.
General Chen gave 50 storage bags, and barely filled more than 30.
If no other items can be found later, this way of going back can barely make up for the task.
As for the heavily guarded places like the warehouse of the Wan Yao Kingdom Army, after listening to Yang Tie's reminder, he didn't want to go there.
He was just a small official, and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not his, so there was no need to take this risk.
Before dawn, Er Gouzi had already left the city and was ready to go to the border. He would sneak back all the way and almost reach the border.
"Stop!"
Er Gouzi was walking on a mountain road, humming a little tune, and suddenly there was a loud shout behind him.
Looking back, it turned out to be a small group of Wan Yao Kingdom troops, wearing leather armor and holding axes.
Was it discovered so soon?
Er Gouzi scanned himself with his spiritual sense again, and felt that he was well disguised, so he shouldn't be exposed.
He could only force himself to stay calm and stand there waiting.
When the group of soldiers came closer, he could see clearly that they were a group of bear people who looked similar to him.
They were tall and covered with thick black hair.
"Why are you walking so fast?"
"You have been recruited, come with us to do some work."
Er Gouzi was relieved when he found out that his identity was not leaked.
There were only 5 soldiers in this group, but each of them had the strength of the foundation building period, and one of the stronger ones was in the late foundation building period.
"I wonder what you gentlemen can do for you?"
Er Gouzi was not sure that he would win with one strike, and there might be survivors who escaped, so he planned to wait and see.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I asked you to move some things."
Hearing that it turned out to be moving things, Er Gouzi breathed a sigh of relief again. He was very good at this and it was his strong point.
You should have said it earlier!
Er Gouzi gave up resisting and followed the team obediently.
This team might have to move a lot of items, and they forcibly recruited dozens of monsters along the way.
It turns out that the Wan Yao Kingdom also has the habit of forcibly conscripting civilians.
Looking at the route they were taking, the bear team was actually leading them towards the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And they were heading directly towards the wall of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The dozens of civilians who were forcibly conscripted were scared at this time.
"Sir, I have old people and young children..."
"Can you let us go back..."
When these civilians saw the spiritual crossbows set up on the city wall, their legs were shaking with fear and they did not dare to move forward.
"Coward, don't worry, you won't die!"
"I'm not here to die. There are people in front of me to help."
A bear man said as he kicked dozens of civilians in the buttocks.
Even Ergouzi, who didn't say anything, got a kick on the butt.
Sure enough, their group took advantage of the night to walk under the city wall, and never found any danger.
Several soldiers patrolling the city wall turned their heads deliberately when they saw them appearing.
"Squeak...ah..."
A small door under the city wall quietly opened, and a bearded man stuck his head out from behind the door and waved to this side.
"Walk!"
"Everyone, follow up!"
"No noise, no fuss!"
The leading bear man waved his hand behind him and led everyone in through the small door.
From the looks of it, he is quite familiar with this place, it probably isn't his first time here.
After walking in from the small door, I saw the lights on the military camp in the distance, and there were people patrolling faintly.
Ergouzi didn't expect that he would go around in a circle and come back.
However, this section of the city wall does not fall under the management of General Chen, and it is not clear which general is under it.
The bearded man answered them inside and led them into a large house filled with wooden boxes and sacks.
Er Gouzi quietly looked at the bearded man. From the first glance, he felt that this man looked familiar.
At this moment, I saw the opponent's arms that were thicker than my own legs, and my thighs that were thicker than my waist.
I finally remembered that I had seen this person when I stole... and borrowed salt in Qingzhou City last time.
This person was buying supplies from the quartermaster named Xia, who turned out to be a spy from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
I just don’t know if the quartermaster named Xia knows his true identity.
"Each person carries a large sack and leaves. Be gentle and don't make any noise."
The bear soldiers were talking angrily as they put the precious-looking wooden boxes and the like into storage bags.
The group of them came quietly and left quietly.
A large amount of military supplies were carried away without disturbing any of the officers and soldiers stationed in Dazhou.
Everyone turned around when it was time to turn around, closed their eyes when it was time to close their eyes, and slept when it was time to sleep, all with a tacit understanding.
