Chapter 439 Substitute
Yi Sanqi Camp.
"Do you want to pay this toll?" A red light flashed in Chen Mu's eyes.
Everyone in the room shook their heads woodenly at the same time: "No, no, no!"
Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
Isn't the porter here?
Just as he was secretly proud, a voice suddenly sounded.
"In fact, it's not impossible to pay a little toll."
The people who had been expressionless just now suddenly came back to their senses and began to talk again.
The smile on Chen Mu's face froze immediately.
He hurriedly stared at the group of old ghosts and looked carefully. He found that they all looked normal, as if the scene of being controlled just now was just a dream.
He turned his head to look at Shi Dechun again, but the other party still had a wooden expression, and the effect of confusing the mind was still obvious.
Chen Mu sighed and shook his head helplessly at the same time.
Although no one noticed the abnormality just now, the idea of controlling these guys as porters was obviously impossible to achieve.
"Tsk! I thought this ability to confuse the gods was a great magical power, but I didn't expect it to be ineffective against old ghosts."
He didn't dare to use it before because he was afraid of being feared by others.
Now, Chen Mu curled his lips.
"At most, I can only bully some new ghosts."
...
Time passed, the blood-red sun rose and set in the sky, and it was five days later in the blink of an eye.
Somewhere underground in the wilderness, Chen Mu sat cross-legged in a temporary underground space. Fifteen or sixteen black-clothed men stood behind him, each with a blank expression.
Including the old man Shi who was leading the way, these were the new ghosts who went to Jiugu City with him.
Maybe because they moved in at the same time, a small half of the group was assigned to the third flag of the first group. If not, he would not have been able to gather this team of porters.
Chen Mu has now returned to his flesh and blood body, and most of his mind is connected to the Zhuyu sword. Using the characteristics of vision sharing and ultra-long-distance control of the traction method, the flying sword is hidden in the clouds to remotely track the various Yanxing flags.
Once the other party was robbed, he would immediately go out.
Through the perspective of Fa Jian, Chen Mu couldn't help muttering as he watched the carts of water ape corpses being transported like ants moving.
"The battlefield position changes every day, but the enemy is always the red-eyed water ape."
"I don't know where this Tianwai Tian is, why are there so many red-haired monkeys, it feels like they can't kill them all."
"The Yin soldiers of Ji Gu City are also strange, they only kill enemies every day but don't occupy territory. Rather than attacking the city, it feels like they are deliberately hunting water apes."
Just as he was thinking about it, in Fa Jian's sight, a group of people suddenly appeared diagonally behind the transport team.
Chen Mu's mouth curled up.
It's alive!
...
In the wilderness.
A group of more than 30 tall, strong and fierce people suddenly appeared.
"Who am I? I guess I don't need to introduce too much." Hong Xiu said with a smile.
He looked to be in his forties, wearing a red suit as a base and a black leather armor on his upper body. At this moment, he stood in front of the Yanxing convoy of 70 to 80 people, with a calm face.
"Brother Hong, let's do as you said before, 30%, we'll pay." A round-faced fat man approached quickly with a flattering smile.
Hong Xiu nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand slightly. More than 30 fierce and strong men behind him stepped forward immediately.
After a while, the flame car operated by more than 30 people was full.
"Look?" The fat man rubbed his hands.
Hong Xiu nodded slightly and grabbed the man's arm: "Since everyone is so abiding by the rules, let's do it according to the rules."
Then he quietly approached and whispered: "I'll have someone wait at the door later, don't forget to take your 10%."
The fat man was immediately surprised, bowed his hands repeatedly and whispered thanks, and then asked everyone to leave quickly.
Hong Xiu watched the convoy gradually go away, and couldn't help but smile.
A square-faced sturdy man came forward cheerfully: "Is this the third convoy?"
"Fei Yong has to find the convoy himself every time, but we take the initiative to come to the door. In the end, it must be the big brother who is smart!"
Hong Xiu couldn't help but chuckle: "The world is bustling for profit."
"I am willing to share the profits, and the leader will naturally be willing to cooperate with me."
"Robbery is too arrogant. Fei Yong is so arrogant that he will suffer sooner or later."
The square-faced sturdy man smiled and said: "Big brother, you have a good idea. Fei Yong was really robbed a few days ago."
"Half of the goods were robbed, and the paper soldiers were all smashed."
"It was covered up before, and the news only came out in the past two days and spread everywhere."
Hong Xiu raised his eyebrows immediately: "Look, what did I say, it's good to be low-key."
"Otherwise, why did that person rob him instead of robbing us?"
As soon as the voice fell, a large group of black wind suddenly drilled out from the ground, and more than 30 sturdy men were thrown into the sky.
Hong Xiu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he flipped his right hand, and a fist-sized clay sculpture of a general in armor appeared.
The power of the Yin spirit surged, and the clay sculpture suddenly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the next moment, an invisible force suddenly attacked, and the soldier who had just been thrown out was violently taken away.
After landing, it was like a stone falling into the water, and it fell into the ground and disappeared.
And it sank rapidly in his perception. In the blink of an eye, the terracotta ghost soldier was completely out of touch because it was too far away from the power of the gods.
Then a strong force attacked, and Hong Xiu was slapped to the ground. No matter how he encouraged the power of the Yin spirit, he couldn't move at all.
Met a tough guy!
Hong Xiu lay on the ground, and his heart trembled.
"Fifty percent of the things belong to me, is there any problem." Chen Mu got out of the ground and began to negotiate the terms skillfully.
Hong Xiu couldn't help but grit his teeth.
I was pinned to the ground, what could possibly be wrong, what could possibly be wrong? !
"Since the hero has taken a fancy to this batch of water apes, just take them all, just consider it as me making friends." He shouted generously, but in his heart, he was thinking that this matter was not over yet.
With a turn of his eyes, he spoke again: "Friends are very powerful, why not join forces and make a fortune together."
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows immediately.
Before, those who were robbing each other either cursed or gnashed their teeth to seek revenge, but this guy's first reaction was to find me for cooperation?
Talent!
What a pity...
"I am a good person, I will never do this kind of highway robbery!" Chen Mu refused righteously.
Hong Xiu: "..."
Listen to what the hell you are saying!
Can't do highway robbery? Then what are you doing now?
Are you doing justice? !
Hong Xiu almost got his nose crooked with anger.
"I'm letting you go now, but don't make trouble for me, or you'll be in trouble." Seeing that everyone had surrendered, Chen Mu carefully removed the Qi Ban for 100 miles.
Hong Xiu suppressed his anger and got up from the ground. He tidied up his messy clothes and pretended to be calm and said, "Friend, since we can't cooperate, I wonder if we can do some business."
"There are many people doing the same business as me. As long as you can let my team go in the future, I will provide you with some accurate information about other people."
"You see..."
There is such a good thing? !
Chen Mu was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at the guy in front of him with new eyes.
Avoiding his own losses and cheating his peers, this guy's brain is really fast.
"Not impossible." He touched his chin and thought.
It's really troublesome to rely on the flying sword to spy on him. If someone provides information and then blocks the door directly, it will be much simpler.
Hong Xiu saw that Chen Mu was interested and couldn't help but smile.
Give this guy the real news a few times first, and after gaining trust, hum!
He immediately clasped his hands together with a sincere look on his face: "What's your name, friend? How can I provide you with information in the future?"
Chen Mu was about to speak, but his heart moved.
The last time he pretended to be Fei Yong, he still remembered the failure. He immediately became cautious and asked instead of answering: "Tell me your name first."
Hong Xiu remained calm on the surface, but his mind was full of thoughts. Since he wanted to trick this guy, he couldn't tell him his real name.
He made a decision in an instant: "I am Niu Chengzong from the third flag of Jia, what's your name, friend?"
"Oh, I am Hong Xiu from the fifth flag of Bing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chen Mu looked calm.
Hong Xiu: "..."
This guy actually did bad things under my name?
Oh no, I'm a substitute!
...
In the evening, the camp of the third flag of Yi.
Chen Mu returned with Shi Dechun and others.
With the red light flashing in his eyes, the experience of taking a long detour and carrying the water ape with difficulty slowly emerged in everyone's mind.
If they check the bronze plate with ghost faces, they will find that the military merits inside are exactly the same as those gained from this experience.
This is a batch of water apes that Chen Mu specially distributed to them. First, it makes the illusion of deception more real, and second, it is also a transportation fee for these people.
As they thought about it, everyone regained their clarity and left in twos and threes. Shi Dechun scratched his chin and ran to other barracks to inquire about various rumors as usual.
Chen Mu returned to the room and sat cross-legged on the futon.
The bronze plate with ghost faces was obtained, and as the power of the Yin spirit was injected, a cool breath suddenly came from the palm of his hand.
The vague restlessness and desire for destruction brought by the blood-colored light from the outside world dissipated immediately. It was also the effect of this bronze plate that allowed these auxiliary soldiers to maintain clarity outside the camp, otherwise it would be unknown how much chaos would be caused.
The cool breath quickly disappeared, and a series of information emerged in his mind.
Looking at the display of 1,005 military merits, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.
"In half a month at most, I can save up three thousand."
"Then I can exchange for the secret method, find a way to switch teams, and stay in the camp."
The corpses of the red-eyed water apes that are carried every day are a constant reminder of the dangers of the outside world. It's easy to say if they die, but if a group of fish that escape the net suddenly jump in front of us that day, wouldn't it be the end? So, we still have to stay in the camp.
