Chapter 1143 So terrifying
“General, these people outside are too close to the camp. Should we warn them? Or drive them away?”
The captain on duty asked in a low voice.
"It's night at this time, and I can't see clearly what's going on outside. How can I make random noises and expose the layout of the camp?"
"Let alone sending soldiers out of the camp, if something goes wrong, can you afford it?"
Zhu Ju gave the captain a cold look:
"The best way to respond at this time is to stick to the camp, not to move rashly, and to remain unchanged in response to any changes."
“The order is passed down and no one is allowed to move lightly. No matter what happens outside, as long as they do not break into the camp, no one is allowed to expose their position.”
)
“Quiet!”
…
In this era, the soldiers who can initiate night battles are the most elite troops at the commander's disposal.
Not to mention this era, even in later generations, during the war on the Koryo Peninsula, the United Nations forces, which represented the highest combat power on earth, were also torn by night battles.
After the war, one of the two sides suffered from a phobia of insufficient firepower, and the other suffered from a phobia of night battles. They spent the next few decades working hard to make up for their shortcomings.
So Zhu Ju's current response is indeed the most appropriate and reasonable.
As long as the other party is not targeting you and the situation outside is unclear, it is best not to go out easily and just stick to the camp.
In any case, Zhu Ju would never admit that he wanted to hear more about the secrets of Feng Duhu Shimen.
Since Nanxiang published the first chivalrous novel, chivalrous novels have become extremely popular in Han Dynasty over the years.
Even greatly promoted the development of storytellers.
The three novels that storytellers must memorize by heart are naturally none other than the "The Condor" trilogy.
Zhu Ju has been in Han for so long, even if he has not read other chivalrous novels, he must have heard of these three books.
These three novels talk about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but they are closely related to the affairs of the princes and countries.
From the Battle of Handan to the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, there is a book that runs through it all the time and played a crucial role in the final winner.
That is the mysterious "Wu'an Jun's Art of War".
This book was written by Qin Wuanjun Bai Qi, Zhao Wuanjun Li Mu compiled and annotated it, and finally Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin obtained it, helping Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty to win the world.
There are rumors that this book is now in the hands of Feng Duhu.
There are ten schools of thought: Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang, Dharma, Ming, Mohism, Zongheng, Za, Nong, and Novel.
But there are only nine schools of thought. Because the novelists were at the end of the list and what they said was too absurd, they were eventually removed from the list in the Later Han Dynasty and became nine schools of thought, divided into nine streams for distinction.
In the past, especially after arriving in the Han Dynasty, Zhu Ju had seen and heard the "Condor Shooting" trilogy.
Feeling that "his words are too absurd" is indeed the best evaluation of the novelist.
Moreover, the prefaces of those books also admit that what they say in the books is just folk history, which is just a joke and cannot be trusted.
It was just the people outside the camp who, for the first time, shook his long-held belief.
Zhu Ju, who was hiding in the night, was after all a man who had led troops into battle. He had seen a lot of life and death and was quite determined.
Not to mention that he is well-equipped in both civil and military affairs. He comes from a noble family and has read a lot. He also knows the principle of "all the books are worse than no books at all".
After the initial shock, his eyes began to flicker.
Is it true that the novelist was expelled because what he said was unsightly and too absurd?
Or is it because some people don't like what he wrote, so he wants to make the world think that what he said is too absurd and not credible?
What unknown secrets are hidden in this?
…
Just when his thoughts were in a mess, the people outside the camp seemed to finally be unable to hold themselves back and began to take action.
It's just that even though Zhu Ju was not too far away and the moonlight was good, it was still night and he didn't have a telescope, so naturally he couldn't see clearly.
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard, and sometimes you could even see a streak of sparks flying.
These black shadows seem to be quite organized, and they have turned into a small formation.
Seeing this, Zhu Ju's breathing became more rapid.
This can only show that the origins of these people are indeed extraordinary.
After a while, as the figures intertwined, a muffled groan suddenly came from the shouts, and one person flew out.
And the dancing woman in white, moving forward and retreating like a flying bird in the sky, was actually unharmed under the siege of dozens of people.
If the shouts and sounds of fighting hadn't ruined the artistic conception, Zhu Ju could see that the white and elegant figure under the moonlight had the feeling of misty flying pendants and exquisite steps, like a fairy walking on the waves.
Perhaps this is the style of the disciples of the hidden mountain sect, right?
Zhu Ju could not help but feel a little nervous.
At this moment, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from a certain direction.
“General, someone else is here.”
Zhu Ju had already discovered it without the need for the guards around him to remind him.
Because the visitor was shouting from afar:
“Don’t let that witch run away!”
“You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you’re dead!”
…
Probably when they saw the reinforcements coming, the morale of these shadows was boosted:
“Witch, the shadow has arrived, can you still escape?”
The woman in white seemed to be a little afraid of the shadows in these people's mouths, but the sword light around her suddenly became brighter.
Then he didn’t know what action he made, but he suddenly stood up from the ground and jumped directly over the heads of these black figures!
Such actions that went against common sense shocked Zhu Ju: How did she do it?
Before he could figure it out, he heard the woman yelling like thunder again:
“The Immortal Soldier’s solution! The art of attracting thunder!”
“No, go back!”
Someone in the black shadow exclaimed.
But it was too late, but I saw sparks flashing, and then there were earthquakes and thunder on the ground!
This thunder not only made those black figures scream, but even Zhu Ju not far away was so frightened that he subconsciously took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.
Zhu Zhi was so frightened even though he was so far away. You can imagine how confused the people around the woman in white and the horses that were scattered nearby would be.
But when I heard a crowd of people neighing, many black figures fell to the ground, screaming, and their mounts fled in all directions.
There were two or three of them. I don’t know if they were frightened, but they rushed directly towards the camp.
“General!”
“Don’t panic, you won’t be able to rush over.”
If it had been anyone else, Zhu Ju would have ordered an arrow to be fired as a warning.
However, these people seemed to be related to Feng Duhu, and because they were small in number, they did not pose a threat to the camp, so Zhu Ju did not issue further military orders.
Moreover, when setting up camp, the trainee camp strictly followed military regulations and dug a trench outside the camp.
Although it is not deep or wide, it is difficult for horses to pull out if their front hoof accidentally gets stuck in it.
If he struggles too much, his two front legs may be broken.
Sure enough, the two unlucky horses whined.
The one following behind was so startled that he immediately turned back and ran somewhere else.
These things may seem long, but in reality they last very little time.
Early at the beginning of the chaos, the woman in white rushed towards the frightened horses, grabbed one of them, turned over and fled north.
“Hurry up!”
“What to do with the casualties?”
“Without horses, it’s impossible to catch up.”
“You take care of the aftermath, and we’ll go after it.”
The few shadows who finally came over gave instructions and continued heading north.
The remaining people were ordered to support the dead and injured, and to look for horses to evacuate.
Of the horses these people rode over, the woman in white robbed one of them.
The rest were scattered by the sudden thunder, and it was not easy to gather them together.
Let alone at night, whether it can be folded back is still a question.
The trainee camp was silent from beginning to end.
Anyway, when the outside of the camp became quiet again, no one came forward to pull the two horses out - the trench was the final boundary of the camp.
Unknown people want to drag away the two horses, unless they reveal their true identities, or at least their true faces, and say hello to the camp.
Otherwise, if you drag the horses rashly and shoot arrows directly from the camp, even if Feng Duhu comes in person, this matter will be handled by Zhu Zhi.
It seems that these shadows know this truth.
Two horses whose life and death are unknown are not worth exposing their identities.
“General, what should we do now?”
In the past, Zhu Ju would have definitely not wanted to have anything to do with this kind of thing.
After all, this matter is obviously related to Feng Duhu’s secret.
They can be regarded as people living under the roof of someone else's house now, and they have nothing to worry about.
But just from the few words of these people, the information revealed was too great, which shocked Zhu Zhi.
Not to mention the ability of the woman in white to draw thunder with one hand, which is as powerful as a ghost or a god.
One has to wonder whether there really are immortals in Feng Duhu’s sect.
Zhu Ju's heart was beating like thunder, and there seemed to be a voice in his ears that was constantly bewitching and hypnotizing:
“Go and have a look, hurry up and have a look…”
In an era when legends of ghosts and gods are prevalent, no one can resist the temptation to get close to the gods.
Coupled with the **** curiosity of humans, Zhu Ju couldn't hold back his heart that was beating faster and faster.
"No one can move rashly. You guys, go over there and have a look."
Zhu ordered his most trusted personal guards to go to the place where the fight was taking place.
After receiving the news that there was indeed no situation, Zhu Ju left the camp.
There was a burning smell in the air, and I didn’t know if the fairy in white brought down the thunder and burned something.
There is a shallow crater on the ground, which seems to have been struck by thunder.
There is nothing more than this.
Zhu Ju sent his personal guards to look around without giving up, but in the end they found nothing of note - except for the two unlucky horses whining softly in the ditch.
“General, what should we do with these two horses?”
Zhu Ju glanced around, his eyes widened suddenly, and then his pupils immediately shrank. He hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Drag him back to the camp first."
Since we left the camp, we can consider this matter to be involved.
At this time, if you want to get rid of it, others must believe it.
After staying in Han for so long and being with the cavalry almost every day, Zhu Ju already had a profound understanding of horses.
One of the two horses, one can tell at a glance that it is a horse that only people with military connections would ride.
There is no shortage of saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, and they are all made of iron.
Even in the Han Dynasty, folk horses were not completely popular.
Moreover, when people install these things on horses, they usually use wooden stirrups and horseshoes instead of iron ones.
Of course, it was not this horse that made Zhu Zhi show the expression just now, but another one.
The other horse is quite handsome, but the strange thing is that it only has a saddle, without stirrups or horseshoes.
Although Zhu Ju knew that it was unlikely to find any clues from above, he still had the horse dragged back to the camp and then inspected the horse himself.
The saddle, saddle seat, and even the bit were all of the highest quality, but that was all, and nothing else was found.
Sighed, disappointed, and reluctantly gave up.
“General, what should I do with these things?”
“Put it away first, don’t lose it.”
If this matter is really related to Feng Duhu, then I'm afraid it won't be settled so easily.
“Here.”
There is nothing more than hearing some specious secrets.
On the contrary, he got involved in right and wrong.
At this time, Zhu Ju felt a little regretful and should not have been greedy.
After all, I and others still have to learn cavalry tactics in the Han Dynasty.
Who knows if Feng Duhu will...
Zhu Ju sighed for a while after returning to the camp, and was about to fall asleep when suddenly there was another rush of footsteps outside, and at the same time, the voice of the guard came:
“General! It’s urgent!”
“What’s the matter? Come in and talk.”
Could it be that those people left and came back again?
The captain of the guard opened the curtain, stepped in front of Zhu Ju in two steps, and lowered his voice:
“General, when we were packing, we found something in the saddle!”
"What!"
Zhu Ju's body was shaken!
Is there really one? !
“Where are the things?”
“Things were sewn into the leather of the saddle, and our people are still removing the stitches.”
When Zhu Ju heard this, he immediately stood up and was about to take a step, but stopped again. He turned around and said:
“Who knows about this matter?”
“General, don’t worry, there are only five or six people who know about this, and they are all trustworthy.”
Zhu Ju was overjoyed and said, "That's good. You can bring the things to me quietly without disturbing others."
“Here!”
“Also, after taking the things out, remember to sew the saddle back up again and restore it to its original shape, so that no one can see the flaw.”
"clear."
Things were delivered quickly. They turned out to be two booklets made of unknown leather, one thin and one thick.
Waving his hand to tell everyone to leave, Zhu Ju took a deep breath and opened the thicker one first.
But when I saw it on the first page, it said: Dian Kingdom Worm Valley.
Zhu Ju only turned two pages and was already deeply attracted.
The book not only records the secret history of the ancient Dian Kingdom in the Pre-Han Dynasty, but also records various strange things in the tombs of the Dian kings.
Big toads, big mosquitoes, dead floats, dragon scale demon armor, evil spells, corpse dissection, etc., even a battle-hardened general like Zhu Ju was frightened by the sight of them, and couldn't help but turn the oil lamp to the brightest .
At the end of the book, the person who wrote this book failed to grab the Phoenix Gallbladder in the end. He was seriously injured when he was chased by the living flesh corpse. He had to escape from the tomb of the King of Dian with his last breath.
After finally resting for some time, he found that the injuries he suffered in the tomb of King Dian could not be healed. He and his fellow disciples had no choice but to go out to sea from Jiaozhou, preparing to return to the Xianshan Master's Gate in the sea to seek medicine for the corpse poison.
Zhu Ju closed the book with some trembling and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His forehead, back and abdomen were already wet and dry, dry and wet again.
This book contains many twists and turns, making people feel as if they are personally visiting the place. It is truly soul-stirring.
After reading the contents of the book, the sky was already dark. Although he had not slept all night, Zhu Ju was in high spirits.
If we talk about what happened last night, Zhu Ju suspects that it is related to Feng Mingwen's sect.
After reading this book, he was finally convinced that the woman in white must have come from the same family as Feng Mingwen.
Thinking back then, Feng Mingwen caused the barbarians in South China to bleed like rivers of blood. His plan was so poisonous that he could not even describe his actions as a life-and-death enemy. It turned out that it was not without reason.
No wonder this man did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and food to let the Xinghan Hui build a plank road in Nanzhong and control Nanzhong.
He has an ulterior motive!
Phoenix courage, you can live forever if you get it, Feng Mingwen definitely did it for the phoenix courage!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was seeking immortality, repeatedly sent people to the southwest, also for the phoenix courage in the hands of the ancient Dian king.
The truth of all this has finally been revealed.
Feeling that he already knows the corner of the fog, Zhu Ju's thoughts are in a mess.
He was about to hide the book carefully when he suddenly found another booklet on the table.
After reading the previous book, Zhu Ju wanted to know what big secrets were written in this booklet.
He quickly opened it again and saw that the first page read: Bahuang Liuhe Only My Immortality Secret (Elixir Chapter).
A burst of blood rushed to Zhu Ju's forehead, causing his blood pressure to almost rise and his consciousness to become blurred.
This is...the art of cultivating immortals?
The world actually has the art of cultivating immortals!
Feng Mingwen’s disciples are so terrifying!
