Super Soldier King

There is no star and no moon, and the sky and the earth are pitch black.

Standing on the top of a tree about two to three feet above the ground, Ye Qian looked at Nanhe Village. When the last light went out, Ye Qian finally smiled.

The shoulders sank, and a thin iron chain protruded from Ye Qian's sleeve.

Ye Qian twisted the chain head with his fingers, his wrist vibrated, his fingers popped out, and the thin iron chain shot straight like a stick towards the tree trunk under Ye Qian's feet.

After a while, the thin iron chain brushed against the tree trunk quite a bit, Ye Qian's index finger quickly tapped on the chain, strands of the thin iron chain passed from the place where Ye Qian tapped to the head of the chain. The head of the chain was lifted upwards, and then wrapped around the tree trunk.

After the thin iron chain circled the tree trunk three times, Ye Qian's thumb and middle finger cooperated with his index finger to sidestep the rope in a certain pattern.

A strange link appeared, fastening a length of a thin iron chain firmly to the tree trunk.

With the appearance of this knot, Ye Qian's finger tapping the rope also stopped.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Ye Qian jumped directly from the top of the tallest tree.

When it was about to land, Ye Qian's thumb, index finger and middle finger tapped the thin iron chain again with a special pattern.

The chain was untied, Ye Qian landed on the ground, and wrapped his little finger around the thin iron chain.

After a strange tremor of the little finger, the thin iron chain slid back into Ye Qian's sleeve along the little finger.

He did not enter martial arts, but fortunately Rentu Huo Tianzhang taught him some small tools and tricks to save his life.

With a slight smile, Ye Qian returned to the tent made of leather blankets, and said to his eldest brother Zhao Gao: "The last light in Nanhe Village has been extinguished, and that person will come over in a short while, elder brother, go and tell the guards outside, don't be afraid." What a misunderstanding."

Saying that, Ye Qian said to Liu Mingshan again: "The time is almost up, Brother Liu, go and wake everyone up, it's time to do something."

Liu Mingshan nodded, before leaving the leather tent, he asked Ye Qian, "Can I really win?"

Ye Qian said firmly: "Of course."

Liu Mingshan and Zhao Gao laughed at the same time.

When the two of them got out of the leather tent, Wei Junzi, who had been reading in the dim candlelight, asked abruptly without raising his head: "Can you really win?"

At this time, only Ye Qian, Wei Junzi, and Wang Chengcai were left in the leather tent. Ye Qian glanced at Wang Chengcai, who had been on the sidelines and hadn't spoken since leaving Nanhe Village, and said pointedly: "Winning or losing is not important." , the goal is achieved.”

Indeed, in Ye Qian's view, this time the layout is completed, the second assessment standard, the means and the pattern are all there. As for the victory or defeat, it depends on God's will. It's good to win, but it's better not to lose if you lose.

After a while, Liu Mingshan came back. Except for those who were on guard, everyone else lined up.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Gao brought in a young man with a dirty face and ragged clothes.

Staring at the young man's pale green eyes, Liu Mingshan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in surprise:

"You are the spy of Nanhe Village two days ago..."

"Her name is Tong Xuenv!" Ye Qian said simply.

Wang Chengcai on the side was shocked and stared at the boy.

As if thinking of something, Liu Mingshan suddenly looked at Ye Qian, then glanced at Wang Chengcai who had a strange expression beside him, and said, "It turns out that you returned him to Wang Chengcai not only to let Nanhe Village fix the formation of the frontal confrontation ..."

After a pause, with some doubts, Liu Mingshan asked: "However, how did you do it? I tortured him heavily, and he didn't even say a word to me. How could he be willing to do things for you?"

When the young beggar was first caught, Liu Mingshan led people to beat him up and ask about the purpose of Nanhe Village, but unfortunately he failed.

"Just give her what she wants."

A vague sentence caused Liu Mingshan to fall into deep thought. Ye Qian didn't care what Liu Mingshan was thinking. The child with light green pupils in front of him was Tong Xuenv, the spy who was bribed by Wang Chengcai and sent to Donghe Village.

"How did you do what you were asked to do?" Ye Qian asked.

Tong Xuenv came to Ye Qian and whispered: "It's all done, I don't know if you are satisfied."

The voice was the same as that night, hoarse and old. It really startled the other people in the tent, and even Liu Mingshan, who was in deep thought, was awakened by Tong Xuenv's voice.

"Your voice..." Wei Junzi looked a little hesitant, but he still asked.

Tong Xuenv didn't speak, and she didn't roll her eyes, as if she didn't hear Wei Junzi's words.

Seeing this, Junzi Wei said guiltily, "Sorry, I was the one who was abrupt."

Tong Xuenv raised her eyelids, looked at Wei Junzi, then lowered her eyelids again, and still did not speak.

Ye Qian kept these in his eyes, but didn't say anything, and said to Liu Mingshan beside him: "Brother Liu, the map of Nanhe Village."

"En." Liu Mingshan took out a piece of bamboo paper from his arms, and spread it out on the small table in the tent to prevent candles. On it, the locations of all the houses in Nanhe Village were densely marked with the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

Handing Tong Xuenv an inkstone pen, Ye Qian said: "Facing the map, mark the homes of all the children in Nanhe Village who are participating in the Fruit Snatching Battle this time."

"Don't..." Liu Mingshan heard the words, saw that Tong Xuenv really took the inkstone pen to mark on the map, and quickly stopped, "I drew this with great difficulty..."

Saying that, he took out another piece of white paper from his arms, handed it to Tong Xuenv, and said, "Just write the location's heavenly stems and earthly branches on the paper."

Tong Xuenv didn't even look at Liu Mingshan, she just looked at Ye Qian questioningly. Seeing Ye Qian nodded imperceptibly, Tong Xuenv took the white paper with her head down, and wrote down the records of heavenly stems and earthly branches one by one according to the marks on the map.

Picking up the white paper, Ye Qian glanced at the marks written on the white paper, and said, "There are thirty-eight households in total, how many people are there, and where is the chief Bao Buping's family?"

Tong Xuenv replied: "Including Bao Buping, there are a total of forty-two people. Several families have more than one person participating in this fruit-winning competition. Bao Buping's family is in the position of 'A, B, Chou, and E'."

Ye Qian returned the paper to Tong Xuenv, and said: "Mark all the weakest members of the thirty-eight households participating in the fruit-grabbing battle, and mark whether they are peasant households, military households, medical households, etc., and draw Children's dense circle.

The most important thing is to mark the families where many people participated in the fruit-winning battle and the families with unpopular and withdrawn children. If you still know how powerful those children are, that would be even better. "

As soon as the words came out, apart from Tong Xuenv, Liu Mingshan and Zhao Gao looked at Ye Qian with brilliant eyes, Wang Chengcai's eyes were more solemn, Wei Junzi couldn't bear it, and said: "Ye Qian, are you asking too much?"

Tong Xuenv seemed to completely ignore the other people, she stared at the map for a while and thought, she shook her lips, and marked the location of the child's home that participated in the fruit-winning battle, as Ye Qian said.

After a while, Tong Xuenv densely filled a piece of white paper with small and delicate characters.

After receiving the paper from Tong Xuenv, Ye Qian's eyes flashed an inexplicable brilliance. After carefully reading it twice, and referring to the map of Nanhe Village, Ye Qian delineated ten households, and handed them to Liu Mingshan.

With their manpower, ten households is already the limit, and there can be no more.

Ye Qian didn't explain why he chose these ten families. He believed that with Liu Mingshan's ability, he could fully understand what he meant with such a detailed explanation.

Looking at Tong Xuenv in amazement, Ye Qian's thoughts changed sharply.

To be honest, Ye Qian did not expect that Tong Xuenv could do so well. After all, she was caught by Liu Mingshan once, and she was able to inquire about the details of the fruit-grabbing battle so clearly under the eyes of everyone in Nanhe Village. I have to wonder if Tong Xuenv turned around and sold him to Wang Chengcai.

However, almost all the people from Donghe village who took part in the fruit-winning battle this time have come here, as if an arrow is on the string, so he couldn't help but not believe Tong Xuenv.

Suddenly remembered what Tong Xuenv showed him that night, Ye Qian stared at Tong Xuenv's dirty face and pale green pupils, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

I hope you don't blame me. After all, it is not easy for me to trust someone.

...

"What did you say? Burn the granary in Nanhe Village? Are you crazy?"

Inside the leather tent, Liu Mingshan stood up abruptly and shouted excitedly.

Ye Qian rested his arms on the small table, his fingers were intertwined, and his thumb was stuck to his lips.

Ye Qian didn't say anything, and looked at Liu Mingshan expressionlessly, his eyes were cold but firm.

After looking at Ye Qian for a long time, Liu Mingshan finally couldn't bear it, and said: "The consequences will be serious."

Hearing this, Ye Qian's elder brother Zhao Gao couldn't help but retort: ​​"How serious can it be? There are no people around the granary. If the granary is knocked out and sent out of the granary, no one will die. How much is a granary worth? In midsummer, how much grain can that granary store?"

Liu Mingshan snorted coldly, and said, "In the future, if you burn someone's granary, even if no one is killed, you won't be so naive as to think that you can pay someone Nanhe Village a little money? Besides, why do we burn the granary?"

"Otherwise, why do you think we have only a small amount of people like us, so why go to Nanhe Village to take people away?" Ye Qian explained lightly: "The ten families selected are basically close to the granary. When the granary catches fire, the adults will be killed by fire After attracting and rushing to rescue them, our people will take advantage of the chaos to capture as many people as possible from their families who participated in the fruit-retrieval battle, and then send them to Panyun Valley as hostages, so that Nanhe Village has to go to Panyun Valley for a while. war."

Ye Qian's voice was flat and gentle, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

Seeing Liu Mingshan's stunned look and the weird expressions of everyone in the tent, Ye Qian added at the end, "Setting fire to other people's granaries will not be the end of the matter. After all, since ancient times, killing people and setting fires have always been together. We can't kill people and take people into captivity. You can still go."

The words entered his mind like ice, Liu Mingshan calmed down completely, thought for a while, and said coldly: "Is it really worth it? If it is for the victory of the fruit battle, or to pass the second trial of deceit, do this It's not worth it. Once you do it, you will have to sue."

Ye Qian smiled, got up and said, "The moonlight outside is pretty good, Brother Liu and Mr. Wei, you guys go out with me for a walk."

Liu Mingshan and Wei Junzi were taken aback when they heard the words, there is no moon tonight, not even stars.

But in an instant, Liu Mingshan and Wei Junzi seemed to understand something, nodded, and left the leather tent with Ye Qian...
