363 If things go wrong, you might end up burying your entire group of people.
After hearing this, Qin Ying said, "Mr. Tang, don't worry about Sun Tiechui for now. The key now is to find this batch of weapons. Where could this weapon be hidden?"
Nan Batian said: "Don't rush Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang, take your time to think about it."
Nan Batian now placed all his hopes on Tang Ziyue. As long as Tang Ziyue could find the location of the weapons, and hand them over to Yelu, he would be able to get rid of any suspicion and gain Yelu's trust. In this way, all the plots against him by Chen Jiusi in the early stage would no longer be a problem.
Therefore, he now looked at Tang Ziyue with full anticipation.
Qin Ying said at this time: "Boss, how about this, Mr. Tang, think about it first, I will go into the city and take my brothers to check every house, even if I have to dig three feet underground, I will find this batch of weapons!"
Hearing this, Tang Ziyue said, "Master Qin, don't be impulsive. If it were so easy to find, we would have found it long ago."
"Besides, I feel that this batch of weapons is probably no longer in the city."
"ah?"
Qin Ying was stunned. What did that mean? If it's not in the city, then where would it be?
Nan Batian also looked at Tang Ziyue and asked, "Mr. Tang, what do you mean by this?"
After hearing this, Tang Ziyue held up a branch and said, "Boss, Master Qin, apart from Chen Jie's funeral, what other big events are happening in this city today?"
"What else is going on?"
After hearing this, Qin Ying said, "It's nothing serious, except that those Mulan people in Dongcheng are making a fuss about holding a funeral..."
Tang Ziyue said: "Right, it sounds so funny that the Mulan people are holding a funeral, but we have never reacted to it."
Tang Ziyue said: "Chen Jiusi is playing a big game of chess. In this game, you and I, the Mulan people, are just chess pieces. He has only one opponent, and that is Lord Yelu!"
"I even suspect that his earliest plan was during the temple fair in Dongcheng. His people killed Tara from Mulan, and then used Tara to stir up conflicts between the Mulan people and the Han people. Then he let the Zoroastrians kill Tara. It was logical for everyone to think that the Zoroastrians were venting their anger on behalf of the Han people, so they killed the Mulan people."
"But no one could have imagined that this was just a trick by Chen Jiusi. He wanted to borrow Mulanren's coffin!"
"Following that, his second move was to openly build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang. He openly spread the news that he would give his brothers a grand funeral. The news spread throughout the city, and he even spent a large sum of money to order 28 large coffins made of golden nanmu wood. This was a gimmick, which made everyone in the city talk about him and focused all the attention on him. This was openly building a plank road."
"His actions just stimulated the noble self-esteem of the Mulan people. All they needed was an opportunity to make them feel that they needed to hold a funeral to suppress Chen Jiusi and to publicize that the supreme status of the Mulan people still existed. So there was this ridiculous funeral of the Mulan people."
"And Chen Jie could take advantage of this opportunity to hide the weapons in the coffins of these Mulan people. Then today he was openly and arrogantly carrying the coffins out of the city, attracting everyone's attention."
"While we were chasing him, the weapons had already been carried out of Mianshui City by the Mulan people in a grand manner."
"No one checked Chen Jiusi's coffin, let alone the coffins of the Mulan people. The Mulan people are now like a group of mad dogs. They will bite anyone who dares to provoke them!"
"so!"
Tang Ziyue held the branch in his hand and said, "So, this batch of weapons is in Mulan's coffin!"
After hearing this, Qin Ying said: "This, this plan is so thorough, this Chen Jiusi is too scary!"
Qin Ying sighed, it was indeed terrifying. He couldn't say how clever the arrangement was, but it was really hard for the people involved to imagine. Who could have imagined that the insignificant Mulan people were actually the team helping the Zoroastrians transport military equipment!
Even they find it difficult to connect the Mulan people with Zoroastrianism because the two are mortal enemies!
If it weren't for the review afterwards, who would have thought that there were so many things hidden in it!
Moreover, even after reviewing the situation, they all felt that Chen Jie's thinking was a little hard to understand. It sounded ridiculous to ask the Mulan people to deliver military equipment to the Zoroastrians.
What's even more ridiculous is that Chen Jie had actually set up this game long ago, starting with killing Mu Lanren at the very beginning.
Thinking of this, Nan Batian and others felt a chill. This Chen Jiusi was really too terrifying. This game had been set up for so long and was so terrifying!
Thinking of this, Tang Ziyue said, "So, Boss, if nothing unexpected happens, this weapon is in Mulan's coffin."
After hearing this, Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue and said, "Ziyue, are you sure there won't be any more accidents?"
Tang Ziyue said: "This is their only chance to transport the weapons out of the city. If they give up on this opportunity, then they will not be able to transport the weapons out of the city before the Northern War!"
Nan Batian said: "Okay, let's do it, Qin Ying!"
"I'm here!"
"Brothers, come with me to intercept the funeral procession of the Mulan people and find these weapons for me!"
Qin Ying heard this and said, "Yes."
After hearing what Nan Batian said, Tang Ziyue said, "Boss, I'm afraid it's too late. At this point in time, I'm afraid the other party has already transported the coffin to the destination."
Qin Ying heard this and said, "It's okay. They still have to worship at the cemetery. As long as we get there before they finish worshipping, we will be able to stop them. This way, the Zoroastrians won't have time to transport the weapons away!"
After hearing this, Nan Batian said, "Yes, as long as we get there before the funeral is completely over, the Mulan people won't be able to open the coffin to take out the weapons. And even if they take them out, they will need time to transport them away. They can't go far with the weapons. As long as we want to stop them, we will definitely be able to stop them!"
After hearing this, Qin Ying said, "Brothers, charge!"
After saying that, the group immediately hurried to the city. Seeing this scene, Tang Ziyue asked, "Hey, where are you going?"
Qin Ying said: "Go to the city and ask where the Mulan people left the city from?"
Tang Ziyue said: "No need to ask, their graves are outside West City, go to West City."
After hearing this, Qin Ying said, "Xicheng, brothers, Xicheng!"
At Qin Ying's command, a group of people headed straight for West City, and Nan Batian also went to West City at this time.
Seeing a group of people rushing to West City, Tang Ziyue's heart did not calm down. He wondered if Chen Jie had predicted his reaction. He set up this trap, and would he watch him and others seize the Zoroastrian weapons from the Mulan people?
Tang Ziyue felt that it wouldn't be that simple. Could this be another trap set by Chen Jiusi?
At this time, he was no longer confident. Chen Jie had set him one trap after another, and he had become extremely sensitive. He even felt like once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of ropes for ten years. He felt that Chen Jie would not let him break out so easily.
Being in such a situation, the best way for him is to do less and make fewer mistakes, but Nan Batian cannot wait, he needs to restore Yelu's impression of him, so he must find a way.
But when he thought of a solution, he felt fear. He was afraid that the solution he thought of was designed in advance by Chen Jie. These repeated blows made him somewhat afraid of Chen Jiusi.
He is not afraid of others who are stronger than him in martial arts, but the crushing IQ is enough to make him despair!
I hope this isn't another one of Chen Jiusi's schemes!
Tang Ziyue thought about it and chased after Nan Batian and the others who had already run far away.
No matter what, he must find a way to help his boss overcome the difficulties!
The boss treats me with sincerity, and I will treat the boss with sincerity.
…
At Qingshankou, Chen Jiezheng and his brothers were standing in front of a tomb. There were 28 large coffins in the tomb. Paper figures and horses were being burned on the side. A funeral band was playing. At this time, Si Xi said, "Master, we can fill the tomb with soil now."
Chen Jie: "Hey, bring some wine."
After hearing this, Zhou Chu at the side brought over a wine jar. Chen Jie took a sip from the jar, then poured the rest of the wine on the ground and said, "Brothers, have a safe journey!"
"Fill in the soil!"
Chen Jie said this, and then he personally picked up a handful of yellow soil from the ground and covered each coffin with it. In this way, Chen Jie grabbed a handful of soil for each of the twenty-eight coffins. This was considered the soil that Chen Jie personally filled for them.
After finishing everything, the brothers started to bury the soil with shovels.
Chen Jie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. These tears were real and were a kind of remembrance of his brothers.
Plop!
Just then a pigeon suddenly flew over. Chen Jie took a look at it, and Si Xi immediately caught the pigeon, untied a bamboo tube from his leg, opened it and took a look.
Then he came to Chen Jie and said, "Master, Nan Batian and the others have gone to West City."
Chen Jie's mouth curled up slightly after hearing this: "Haha, Tang Ziyue's reaction is quite fast!"
Si Xi said: "Boss, will they not be fooled? After all, Tang Ziyue is not a stupid person. Can they see through our arrangement?"
Chen Jie laughed and said, "So what if he figured it out? Si Xi has a question for you. You are in a big desert now, and you are almost dying of thirst. There is a bowl of water in front of you that may be poisoned. Do you want to drink it?"
Si Xi thought for a moment and said, "Drinking poison to quench thirst."
Chen Jie said: "Yes, we know it is poisonous water, but if we don't drink it, we will die of thirst. But if we drink it, we may survive, or we may not be killed by the poison."
"So sometimes being smart doesn't necessarily solve the problem. This is a naked conspiracy. Now that Nan Batian has entered the game, he can't escape easily. This is the biggest gift I give them."
"It is also the best gift I can give to my brothers."
As Chen Jie was speaking, he patted the bluestone tablet in front of him and said to Si Xi, "Pass my order on. Send someone to come and see them every Qingming Festival. The brothers have suffered all their lives. Burn more paper money for them."
"It's the hall master."
Chen Jie nodded, then turned around and left with his men. He had done what he should do.
He felt sad about the death of his brothers in battle, but he never regretted it. A general's success is built on the sacrifice of hundreds of soldiers. Chen Jie's career was destined to involve bloodshed and sacrifice. People would die now, and more would die in the future. Chen Jie would miss them and pay tribute to them, but he would not stop because of them.
This road is destined to be lonely, but it is also destined to be unstoppable.
Chen Jie never regrets anything, because regret is of no use and will not bring any help.
Of course, Chen Jie will get help from many people along the way. Chen Jie will lose many brothers, but he will also have more brothers.
Chen Jie walked forward with big strides, followed by Xiaohu and Zhou Chu on his left and right, and then Sixi and Chen Zhu followed him again, and then ten people, and then a hundred people...
A group of people followed Chen Jie towards an unknown future.
…
At this time, Linhe Village, Xicheng.
There is a forest by the water here, the forest is very dense, and opposite the forest is a river, which is a tributary of the Mianshui River and flows directly into the Mianshui River.
In the past, this was where villagers collected firewood, but now it has become a cemetery for the Mulan people.
Nan Batian and his entourage hurried over, passed through the woods, and then saw an open area. It was obvious that the land here had been newly felled, and some of the tree roots had not been completely removed. On top of the new soil stood a number of mounds, which were the graves of the Mulan people.
"I'm still a step late."
Nan Batian looked at the graves that had already been buried, frowned and said something.
Qin Ying heard this and said, "Fortunately, judging from the soil, it should not have been walked on for a long time. The grave should not have been turned over by anyone, and the weapons are still in the grave."
After hearing this, Nan Batian said, "Okay, come here, dig it for me!"
Nan Batian didn't waste any words and started digging directly. However, at this moment, Tang Ziyue, who was following at the end, shouted, "No, boss, you can't dig!"
"Um?"
Nan Batian turned to look at Tang Ziyue, his face bewildered.
Chapter 178 Chen Jie: Nan Batian didn't expect that I would steal your house, right?
