Chapter 27
Chapter 27 Repeat the old trick
From Yecheng all the way to the royal capital, the next step is to really decide which way to go. This has been discussed before, and no one has any temporary changes.
Not long after the team left Yecheng, they stopped in an open place and started to rest for the first time after leaving. However, when the others were resting, Zou Heng was very busy at this time. He was busy checking what was just now. That bunch of things from Yecheng officials.
Most of the things that these officials gave were not valuable things, they were only some special products of Yecheng, or ordinary things that might be used. After all, they had to give gifts to the heirs of a country lord. If they dare to give them too expensive, It is tantamount to burying a pit for yourself.
Zou Heng looked at these things, not looking for something useful, but looking for something suspicious, or even something that was left by others.
Although this kind of chance is unlikely, and it’s not smart as a means, but to be careful, you still have to guard against it.
After searching carefully, Zou Heng actually found a few suspicious things from them, which might become a means for the other party to locate them.
Taking out these suspicious things, Li Sheng originally wanted to arrange for someone to destroy them, but Zou Heng stopped them.
“General, don’t worry, let me take care of these things.”
“What is the mage going to do?” Hearing Zou Heng’s words, Li Sheng asked him with a smile on his face, because he also vaguely guessed some of Zou Heng’s thoughts.
“I didn’t intend to use the method of dispelling the suspicion before, but I didn’t expect someone to send this kind of thing. Then I will use it again by the way. It would be a good thing if it can play a little role.”
After Zou Heng finished speaking, he was asked to empty a carriage, and then took these things into the carriage, and began to prepare in it.
After a while, Zou Heng did not get out of the carriage until the team hit the road again.
In the afternoon, the team arrived in a small town, where everyone stopped to rest. It was getting late. If they continued on their way, they would definitely not be able to rush to other places suitable for rest before dark.
On the first day after leaving Yecheng on the road, everything seemed to be calm, and everyone in the team was not very hard, and they were not disturbed even when they were resting.
When they were on their way the next day, everyone was ready to set off early. Most of the soldiers were in good spirits. On the contrary, today’s Zou Heng seemed to be a little less energetic, and it was obvious that he could see his exhaustion.
“Master is okay, you look tired!” Li Sheng frowned slightly looking at Zou Heng’s appearance.
Hearing what he said, Zou Heng waved his hand gently and said, “It’s nothing, but I’m a little bit bigger. I feel that my mana has improved a bit recently, and I want to make things more perfect. As a result, my mana consumption is a bit high, but Don’t worry, it’s just a little bit tired.”
Hearing Zou Heng’s words, Li Sheng didn’t speak any more, and commanded the team on the road again.
This time from the very beginning, everyone walked faster, because today everyone can reach Yujiang, and there are more roads to travel. If you go faster, you might be able to reach a place where people gather before dark. So there is no need to sleep in the wilderness at night.
In the morning, everyone did not rest, and then at noon, they arrived at the bank of the Yujiang River.
The Yujiang River is a very important river in Yu Kingdom, and it is also the only river in Yu Kingdom that can accommodate large ships and shoulder the heavy responsibility of river transportation.
Because of the existence of the Yujiang River, there are countless fertile soils between the two banks where it flows, and the cities where the Yujiang River flows appear to be more prosperous than other cities.
After passing the Yujiang River, you will soon be able to reach the official road of Yu Kingdom, and you will be able to reach the royal capital all the way from here.
On the Yujiang River, there is a bridge that is not very wide, allowing pedestrians to pass through here, but it also restricts the passage of large troops from here. Generally, if it is a team with a large number of people, it will be slow to pass through Yujiang. Pass here slowly, or pass over the water.
When Zou Heng and others arrived here, the speed finally slowed down, and everyone can have a rest.
The bridge on the Yujiang River is not wide, but it is ok to accommodate horses and vehicles slowly passing by. If a team of more than a hundred people passes through, it does not actually take too long.
The reason why everyone spends a little longer here is mainly to wait for Zou Heng.
When everyone reached the other side of the bridge, only Zou Heng was still on this side of the bridge, releasing what he had prepared before now.
Taking out the items that were already prepared from his bag, Zou Heng took out a paper boat full of runes first, quickly changed a few seals in his hand, and then slowly put the boat in On the water.
As soon as the paper boat touches the surface of the water, its volume immediately begins to increase, or it stretches out completely, and becomes a boat that can accommodate dozens of people.
This is not the kind of magic that can control the size of the item, but the paper boat in front of you, which should have been so big originally, was slightly compressed by Zou Heng’s spells, and now the paper boat is re-expanded.
Zou Heng bought so many papers, plus the leftovers he used when he was in Anyuan Pass, and this made such a large paper boat. Although it is still a little small in terms of size, it can barely be used. Up.
Immediately afterwards, Zou Heng took out some paper figures that were already prepared from his shoulder bag, with some vivid portraits painted on them.
Then, Zou Heng’s two-handed tactics changed, the mana in his body circulated, and he performed the fake substitution technique.
The paper figures he took out, all of them without wind, broke away from his palms, and all stood on the ground. Their bodies were like blowing balloons. They immediately inflated. The figures outlined by the pen and ink quickly swelled up. Becoming a normal person, in just one or two breaths, a pile of paper people, from the outside, has become a group of real people, and horses and carriages have also become very real.
Zou Heng manipulated the paper men and let them all board the boat, and then he picked out the things that felt a little problematic before, and put them on the boat in half, followed by backing a few steps, hands again. Pinching tactics to cast spells.
Following his movements, between his hands, an invisible air current seemed to be converging, and then turned into a thin gauze covering the boat.
This is one of the small techniques that Zou Heng has mastered, the wind movement technique, which can accelerate the speed of travel. With the blessing of the wind movement technique, this boat will definitely become very fast.
The faster the speed of the boat, the easier it is to arouse some suspicions from observing people behind, making them believe that Nioh may be walking by water and want to avoid danger by relying on speed. When the time comes, it is inevitable that some people will not help but want to explore.
If you can really attract the other party to explore, I believe that with the speed of the boat, when the other party finds it, the distance from the real team has been opened, and some dangers have been avoided invisibly.
Seeing the boat that had been blessed with the wind movement technique, it slowly moved up against the current, getting faster and faster, and soon distanced himself from him, Zou Heng hurried to chase Li Sheng and the others.
The others have already passed Yujiang now, and he has also finished his busy schedule here. He should move on now. The road ahead is still far away, and everyone must be able to live in the town at night as much as possible.
Zou Heng crossed the river quickly, and when he reached the other side of the river, he glanced at the river again, with his best eyesight, he could only vaguely see the outline of the boat just now.
“In the end, the cultivation base is too low. If I have enough strength, I would have trouble doing so. I tried all kinds of methods to deal with it. I just wanted to go which way to go. I encountered all the obstacles on the road and crushed it all the way. The past will be fine!” Zou Heng really thought so in his heart when he found that the boat had gone away.
It is true that he has performed very well in the past few days. He has won the trust of Li Sheng and Ren Wang, and he has tried his best to satisfy and support his needs and opinions. In the final analysis, he is just a magician in the realm of practice. The ability is really limited.
Shaking his head, Zou Heng continued to follow the team on the road. It was almost the afternoon when the team stopped temporarily. Zou Heng went to make some arrangements, took out the paper man and disguised the team, with the other half suspicious. Items, go another way.
Next, everyone went all the way along the official road, speeding up as fast as possible, and finally came to a small town before it was completely dark, and stayed here to rest.
While Zou Heng and the others were resting, on the Yujiang River, a ship was slowly moving on the surface of the water. The wind movement technique blessed by Zou Heng had already disappeared after a short period of time. The speed of the ship is now Has slowed down.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded on the surface of the river. It was a wooden arrow, which shot quickly to the side of the boat and opened a large hole directly below the side of the boat.
The ship that had been traveling smoothly, after a big hole was suddenly opened, immediately tilted, and the people on it looked dumb and did not respond at all to this situation.
The next moment, the ship with a big hole was broken down quickly sinking downwards, and all the people on the ship sank into the water without making a scream.
Soon, the “corpses” of some people floated up, floated on the water, and turned into paper people again. It’s just that the portraits painted on the paper people after being wet are not very clear now.
“Sure enough, it’s such a small trick again. It seems that there is no new method. If so, let’s send you on the road as soon as possible!” On the top of a mountain in the distance, the warlock who has been using bow and arrow watched the scene on the river. , Thought very uncomfortable in my heart.
Although he had guessed in advance that this might be the case, he came here only to verify his guess, but thinking about how many wrongdoings he had rushed today, this made him inevitably feel aggrieved and angry.
