Chapter 264 Rescue

Li Wanzi was not worried about Wu Zhongyuan running around alone, but there was no suitable person who could be assigned to act as a guard for him, so he could only give him numerous warnings to be cautious at all times and not to be careless.

Regarding her instructions, Wu Zhongyuan just responded casually, and left in a hurry when Dasha arrived.

The reason why Wu Zhongyuan left in a hurry was because he was in a bad mood. The reason why he was in a bad mood was because Li Wanzi's instructions made him feel the nagging and nagging from his mother that he had never felt before. As long as he thought of his crazy mother, , his mood will become very bad.

Since Wu Zhongyuan just asked Dasha to go to Gushan without giving any specific flight route, Dasha followed the path he opened yesterday and flew west. Wu Zhongyuan didn't think much about it at first, but later he found that Dasha always moved along this route. Only then did he realize that Dasha's move was not to report his work, but to ask for credit. The unspoken meaning was, 'Look, I have done so much work, isn't there any reward? ’

Dasha has no other thoughts, all he can think about is eating. This is actually not to blame. He used food to lure and train him from the tiankeng and the riverside. Therefore, as long as he completes the tasks he told him, Dasha will get used to it. Asking for rewards.

Dasha has indeed done a lot of work. Its six jointed limbs are all equipped with sharp jagged thorns. The jointed limbs cooperate with the giant horns on its head to carve out a rough path up to two feet wide in the deep mountains. As long as the fallen ones are moved away The big tree, with a little trimming, can be used for carriages and horses.

What surprised Wu Zhongyuan the most was that there were many tunnels on this road. Dasha was so stubborn that he didn't even know how to go around the mountains when he encountered them. Instead, he dug holes directly through them.

Going to Gushan Mountain, you will pass through the border of Dashe. Although Wu Qin had not greeted Wu Qin before, Wu Qin recognized Dasha and knew that Dasha opened the road was his instruction. At this time, he had sent soldiers and civilians to start heading east and west. The direction is trimmed at the same time.

Wu Qin was commanding at the scene, and when he met him on the way, there was no need to go to the city to look for him. Wu Zhongyuan ordered Dasha to land, and had a short conversation with Wu Qin, telling him strategies such as "dig holes deeply and accumulate grain widely". After reading it again, he was ordered to select one of the cities under his jurisdiction to be renovated to prepare it for trade in the six cities of his headquarters, and then he was on the road again to Gushan Mountain.

Wu Zhongyuan is now the leader. If he doesn't say anything, Wu Qin can't ask him what he is going to do. He can only watch him and Dasha go west.

When they arrived at Gushan, Jiang Dahua was having lunch with her family. Jiang Dahua had already married, but her husband died in the war a few years ago. She has a son who is in his early ten years. This boy is said to be strong at best, but at worst. The point is that he has grown fat. He has a fat head and big ears at a young age, and his brain is full of fat.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan coming, Jiang Dahua immediately ordered people to prepare meals for him. Wu Zhongyuan thought it was troublesome, so he and Jiang Dahua's mother and son ate briefly together. During the meal, Jiang Dahua reported to him about her work. She had experience as a city lord, considering that she could not commit suicide. She traveled frequently between Chuyuan City, so she selected a deputy chief from Lishan and Hongshan. When she was away, the deputy chief took over the duties of the city lord.

Wu Zhongyuan would not change her decision easily. After nodding, he relayed to her the contents of the previous morning discussion with the bird tribe warriors.

Jiang Dahua is just straight-tempered, but not stupid. Digging deep holes and accumulating grain is obviously a defensive strategy. There are usually two prerequisites for implementing such a strategy. One is that the enemy is very powerful, and the war takes a long time.

Having doubts in his mind, he asked Wu Zhongyuan why he had formulated such a strategy, so Wu Zhongyuan started from the incident in Nanguan and spent half an hour explaining his current situation and the dangerous situation that might arise in two years.

When Jiang Dahua had no doubts, Wu Zhongyuan asked her if she knew Jiang Nan's whereabouts. Jiang Dahua actually knew. According to her, Jiang Nan had been stranded in southern Xinjiang before. Later, her mother became seriously ill and rushed back to Lianshan City.

The reason Jiang Dahua knew this was because Jiang Nan had stayed in Gushan when he returned and had a brief conversation with her.

Wu Zhongyuan disagreed with Jiang Dahua's statement. His mother's illness was probably just an excuse for Jiang Zheng to trick Jiang Nan into going back. The real reason should be that the warriors of the Niu tribe who were responsible for guarding Weishui Longze sent word that the enemy's weapons were found near Weixui Longze. Jiang Zheng was worried that Jiang Nan would be in trouble if she stayed nearby, so he deceived her back.

Wu Zhongyuan originally wanted to go to the Niu Clan's capital, and since Jiang Nan was in Lianshan City, he had even more reason to go there. Naturally, we can't say we are looking for armadillos, only that we are looking for Jiang Nan.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was in a hurry to leave, Jiang Dahua took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to him, "I have already checked the toxicity of the poison you asked me to test before. It is a warm and moist poison. Depending on the strength of the poison, Poisons can be divided into seven levels. This kind of damp poison is around the fifth level, which is highly toxic and travels through the lung meridian. The poisoning will cause nausea and vomiting at the beginning, followed by physical weakness and fatigue, and even fainting and death."

"Is there an antidote in this?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Jiang Dahua nodded, "Yes, this is an antidote made of 30% realgar, 30% atractylodes and 40% barley powder. After poisoning, you can sniff it within an hour to detoxify, and take it orally within three days to detoxify. If it passes three days, , it’s a tricky thing, the poison will recoil from the internal organs, and the skin will slowly fester, and then it will be difficult to treat.”

Wu Zhongyuan carefully put away the porcelain bottle and said goodbye to Jiang Dahua.

Jiang Dahua came out to see him off, and Wu Zhongyuan ordered her to repair the path connecting Daze as soon as possible to facilitate travel. Then let her send people to Daze and Jiumu to exchange messenger birds to establish communication.

The messenger birds do not need complicated domestication. You only need to bring them over from your hometown. If you encounter something that needs to be contacted there in the future, you can release the messenger birds and they will fly back on their own.

After all the trivial matters were explained, Wu Zhongyuan took Dasha into the air. After taking off, he remembered that there was no place for Dasha to stay here. From mid-air, he told Jiang Dahua to build a stable for Dasha from the posthouse at Lishan and Hongshan in Gushan Mountain. Store “food and grass.”

Before flying over the city, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly remembered something and ordered Dasha to come back. At this time, Jiang Dahua was still at the same place. He jumped down and told Jiang Dahua about Aluo's age and appearance, asking her to pay more attention. If she found out After finding out the whereabouts of A Luo, he tried to inform her to go to Daze.

He had been to Lianshan before, and he was familiar with the roads. He arrived in the evening, dropped off from outside the city, and ordered Dasha to go look for food. Since Dasha had been very tired before, he let him eat more this time, and he was raised from five minutes full to half full. Seventy percent full.

Dasha was very satisfied and made a sound by rubbing his wings to express his joy. Over time, he was able to judge the meaning of the clicking sound based on the clicking sound made by Dasha rubbing his wings.

Li Wanzi was very attentive. When he left Jiumu, Li Wanzi not only prepared dry food for him, but also prepared a change of clothes. In order to facilitate him to hide his identity, including casual clothes.

He put on his casual clothes, handed the baggage and the dragon stick to Dasha's care, then walked quickly to the east gate, and entered Lianshan City before the city gate closed.

The first place I went to was the dungeon where Wu Di was imprisoned that day. The prisoners were kept in the dungeon with their heads exposed on the ground. I looked carefully from outside the wall and didn't find the two armadillos.

After thinking about it, it was normal for them not to be locked up here. These two things could dig holes. Ordinary dungeons couldn't trap them. They might have been locked up elsewhere.

The two armadillos made a lot of noise in Lianshan City that day. One was running around in the women's bathroom, and the other was running wildly in the market. There should be many people who know their whereabouts and can try to find out about them.

Before leaving the prison, Wu Zhongyuan looked at it again with his feet raised. After the two armadillos transformed into humans, they were both dwarfs. Even if they were locked in the cage, they could not show their heads.

I looked carefully to make sure it wasn't there, and then walked elsewhere.

Different from Gushan and Lishan Hongshan, they are just walled cities, while Lianshan is the capital of the Niu Clan. The city is very large, and there are many people who come here for exchanges. Therefore, there are also inns and wine shops on the streets, because it is a place for eating. At that time, Wu Zhongyuan went to the wine shop.

He carried a lot of copper pieces with him. At this time, metal, like salt, was a valuable thing and could be exchanged easily.

After casually ordering some food, Wu Zhongyuan sat in the corner and secretly observed the two waiters in the wine shop, assessing which one was smarter. Whether it was bribery or seeking information, he had to look for smart people and never deal with stupid people.

But before he could make a decision, he got an unexpected reward. Several people who were off work were drinking and talking. One of them said inadvertently, "The stone wall of the cave is so hard. Thanks to those two tampers, If we were to use axes, chisels, and hammers, we wouldn’t be able to dig even half a foot in a day.”

The meaning of "good stuff" is the same as being short-sighted. The intelligence of those two armadillos is worthy of this evaluation. They are "two bad guys" again. No need to ask, it must be the two of them.

Listening to the words of these people, it seems that even the mountains are digging holes. This is also in line with Jiang Zheng's style. Jiang Zheng is an experienced man and is prepared for possible changes in the future.

To dig a hole, you have to move soil, so it was easy to find. It didn't take much trouble to find the construction site. It is located at the foot of the mountain to the west of the Niu Clan Palace. The entrance of the hole is large and not hidden. There are residences not far from the entrance of the hole. The cave was probably built to provide shelter for the residents of the city.

When he saw the entrance of the cave, Wu Zhongyuan also saw the two unlucky ghosts. The entrance of the cave opened to the east. On the left side of the entrance were two iron cages, which were about the same size as modern wolf-dog cages. They were locked in two In the iron cage, everyone was sitting, holding a broken alms bowl in their hands. Not far from the cage, a Chinese pastoral dog was tied up and barking at them.

At this time, the civilian workers had already finished work. Since the construction site was in the city, they were not afraid of destruction by enemy agents and did not leave any guards.

Maybe the food was not very good. The "big brother" muttered while eating. When he mumbled, the dog barked at him. Then he got angry and turned around and scolded the dog, so the dog barked even harder.

Compared with the dishonesty of the eldest brother, the second child seemed to be more timid. Seeing that the eldest brother was angry, he tried to persuade him. As soon as he interrupted, the eldest brother began to scold him again, retaliating against him and scolding him for being dishonest. The theft failed that day, and the second brother saw the situation. No, just leave it and run away.

The second child didn't dare to talk back, but he didn't want to acquiesce. He just said that the eldest brother ran away four times first, and it only ran away first.

When the two were noisy, Wu Zhongyuan began to think about how to rescue them. No one would have thought that someone would come to rescue them, so it would not be troublesome to rescue them. However, he was not prepared to rescue them both. The second child was more obedient. You can save the second child and leave the eldest brother to help the cattle tribe continue digging holes.

Both of these guys have spiritual energy cultivation. It stands to reason that this kind of cage cannot contain them. It is possible that the acupuncture points are sealed.

The iron cage was very strong and the lock was too big. He couldn't open it. If he wanted to rescue him, he could only take the iron cage away with him.

With Dasha here, it is not difficult to lift the iron cage away. All you need to do is prepare the rope and then get rid of the dog.

He carries a bow and arrow with him, but even if he can kill with one arrow, he cannot kill with one arrow. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. If it is really shot to death, if it is discovered, it will not be easy to talk about.

After making up my mind and thinking about the details, the next thing to do is to wait. It's not very late yet and there are many pedestrians around. I have to wait until midnight before taking action...
