Liu Xiaowei sat silently on the stool, with a table in front of him. On the table was a topographic map of Jiangxia, which occasionally shone with a ray of light under the candlelight.
The room was very quiet, except for the occasional popping sound from the lights.
In front of Liu Xiaowei, there was a gauze tent. You could see a person sitting behind the tent, looking at the topographic map of Jiangxia. After a while, he said:
“Liu Wu, your vision is indeed the best among us. There is indeed something wrong with these rangers. What do you mean they brought this thing over?”
Liu Xiaowei-----Liu Wu in his mouth said solemnly after a while:
"Fang Yan and the guy nicknamed Goat among them are quite famous among the rangers in Luoyang, and their conversation is quite good, and I can feel that they look very indifferent. I always feel that these people have a trump card behind them!
"
The man behind the tent suddenly said:
“Is it...that the higher-ups are not yet at ease with us and sent us to test us?”
Liu Wu shook his head and said decisively:
"Impossible! Although that person is very suspicious, he will never let people test him in this way. Don't you still know his style of doing things? It's all watertight, and he will steal your money quietly.
Collect everything, then strike with thunder!"
There was an awkward silence in the whole scene. Both of them must have thought about the past. After a while, someone outside suddenly said:
“Master, just now I went to meet the gatekeeper Sun Si. Sun Si was standing by and witnessed the entire contact between He Wei and the ranger Fang Yan and others.”
“Sun Si said that the group of people had a few words of conversation with He Wei at that time, and it was not like He Wei said that they didn’t leave anything behind!”
After Liu Wu heard this sentence, his expression changed instantly, and then he slapped the case and stood up and said:
“Sure enough...I knew it! Call Sun Si here immediately. I want to know every word that Fang Yan and the others said!”
"That's right! Where is He Wei? Find his whereabouts immediately!!! He has been my messenger for more than a year, and I have not treated him badly, but he actually betrayed me at this time!!"
At this time, there was a sudden sound of flapping wings from the window next to it, and then I saw a bird flying in, landing on the table of the person behind the tent, and making a chirping sound.
Immediately afterwards, the person behind the tent stroked the feathers of the bird and said calmly:
"Go to the stable in the backyard to find He Wei. I already know that he is an inside agent. I also put a Nightmare Suppression Talisman on him and sent the duty officer to keep an eye on him. If he doesn't move, that's all. If he has any evil plans,
You will be trapped directly."
After hearing this, Liu Wu let out a long breath and said:
"so far so good."
Soon, the sergeant Sun Si who was guarding the door came over and said in a deep voice outside the door:
“Sir, do you want to pass it on to me?”
Liu Wu nodded and said:
"yes."
“Were you present when Fang Yan and others were talking to He Wei?”
Sun Si said:
“The villain was on duty at the time.”
Liu Wu said seriously:
“Can you repeat what Fang Yan and the others said? Don’t miss a word!”
Sun Si pondered for a moment and said:
“Fang Yan and others didn’t deliberately avoid speaking at the time. I was relatively close, so I could repeat, but I can’t guarantee that I’d miss every word.”
Liu Wu took a long breath, then spit it out, and then urged anxiously:
“You say it first, you say it first, and if it takes a while, I’m afraid you’ll even forget everything you remember.”
So Sun Si thought about it and began to repeat it intermittently. Fortunately, Fang Linyan didn't say too many words at that time, so his "review" did not seem too strenuous.
Soon, Sun Si began to repeat the conversation between the two...
When he said the last words of Fang Linyan:
“...Although he does not have double pupils, he is destined to be in the East China Sea. As long as he is magnanimous and treats others with sincerity, everything he wishes will come true.”
Both Liu Wu and the person behind the curtain took a breath of cold air at the same time!!
The speaker really meant this sentence, and the two listeners also meant it, and they immediately understood the two key points in this sentence!!
“Double pupils”, “East China Sea”!!
The double pupils undoubtedly refer to the characteristics of Zhang Xu. This is equivalent to clearly telling Liu Wu that we have met Zhang Xu and that I know this guy's physical characteristics clearly.
The word "East China Sea" is even more serious. The item obtained from Zhang Xu has an astonishing legendary quality: the Mermaid Pearl. The introduction above clearly states that it comes from the East China Sea!
If Fang Linyan said the word "East China Sea" alone, then the two of them may still have doubts in their minds, but when this keyword is combined with "double pupils", anyone with a little intelligence will not understand it wrong.
After a long while, Liu Wucai murmured:
“So, this group of people not only know the whereabouts of Zhang Xu, but they also know about this treasure! No wonder, no wonder..."
The man behind the curtain said:
“What’s the wonder?”
Liu Wudao:
"No wonder He Wei was ready to leave after hearing the news, even if he exposed his identity. But he could actually pretend to be a passerby and take this topographic map of Jiangxia with him. To be honest, this is also a rare treasure.
."
The man behind the curtain shook his head and said:
"It is easy to leave tracking marks on such rare treasures. They are not suitable for taking with you on an escape. People like Fang Yan, Goat and others are all well-known rangers. They will not make such mistakes. He Wei dare not bet on them."
."
"And it doesn't take much time to pass it on. If He Wei takes this picture directly, Fang Yan, Yang Yang and others who asked to see him will probably become suspicious if they don't get a reply after seeing it for a long time. In this case, he
It will be revealed faster."
Liu Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head:
“Yes, yes, I am so concerned that I have almost forgotten these things.”
Speaking of this, he looked at the picture on the table:
“What should we do with this thing now?”
The man behind the curtain said calmly:
"Hasn't Fang Yan already made the conditions very clear? If you want your dreams to come true, you have to be magnanimous and treat others with sincerity... We are bound to get the treasure. Then
Do you think there are any other options now?"
***
For Fang Linyan and the others, of course they didn’t know that after they submitted the Jiangxia topographic map, the seemingly shrewd and capable messenger was actually a spy, and the whole thing had gone through such a tortuous and complicated experience!
Time is precious, and they will not wait here idlely. After some "planning" by the goat (stuffing money**), the team finally received a decent mission.
Although this task is also carried out by several teams, the number of people and time are also limited, and the task content is also very simple, that is, Cao Cao's army is about to enter, and food supplies are the top priority.
At present, Cao Jun has built a large-scale military supply warehouse at "Mamingyi", an important transportation pass.
Now the task of this group of people is to escort the grain and other things collected from near Shangxi Village and successfully store them into the new warehouse of "Mamingyi".
Mamingyi is twelve miles away from here, and there are civilians responsible for transporting it. They only need to ensure the safety along the road.
However, when accepting the task, I made it very clear that this task is a competitive task.
The so-called competitive mission means that when this mission is released, an opposing mission will also be released on Liu Bei's side. Contractors/colonists who belong to Liu Bei will be given the mission to attack the grain transport team.
So the risk of this mission lies in the strength of the enemy contractor. If the opponent is a group of predators rushing over, then it will be an S-level difficulty. If the opponent is a group of weak chickens, it will be a C-level difficulty.
Half an hour after Fang Linyan and the others left, the fire was blazing, and a team of elites could be seen quickly heading here overnight. It seemed that something important had happened.
Not only that, you can see the word "Xiahou" on its flag, and the young general at the head looks quite familiar, he is actually Xia Houyi!
After Xia Houyi entered the village, he went directly to the Han residence and went straight to Colonel Liu. When he came out again, he was smiling all over his face, and he seemed to be quite affectionate with Colonel Liu. At the same time, a homing pigeon
flew out.
About an hour later, a series of messages popped up directly from the retinas of Fang Linyan and others:
“Members of the Legend Team: You presented the treasure map of Jiangxia to the commander-in-chief Cao Ren, and Cao Ren directly informed Cao Cao of this matter.”
“Cao Cao was overjoyed, and his concubine next to him even suggested that he should obtain his country before taking his land. This is an unprecedented auspicious sign, which means that the king’s southern expedition will be successful immediately.”
“You have successfully completed the task: contribute the picture.”
“Contractor No. ZB419, you have obtained Cao Ying’s reputation: 1000 (basic reward) + 275 points (additional reward) + 100 points (legendary reward).”
“Each of you has obtained combat merit: 500 (basic reward) + 125 points (additional reward + 50 points (legendary reward)).”
“Each of you has received a bonus of +1 free attribute points.”
“The legendary team gained experience points: 50 points + 25 points (additional reward for gold main line world difficulty).”
“Because two members of the legendary team have +1 legend, the legendary team will also receive an additional 10% experience bonus.”
“The legendary team gained 80 experience points.”
…..
Looking at this series of prompts, the somewhat depressed morale in the team was suddenly wiped out!
Max, whose face was somewhat gloomy, also showed a smile.
As for why they were frustrated? The burning grain truck behind them was the best explanation. Fang Linyan and the others did not perform the escort mission smoothly this time.
One of the reasons for this is that Ao's Ember is still being repaired and it will take three hours before it can be used normally again, so there is a lack of information.
Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that the unsmoothness comes not from the enemy, but from pig teammates.
The enemy cleverly used a tactic to divert the tiger away from the mountain, which caused a cooperating team to pursue them foolishly.
Then the other side launched another wave of feint attacks, drawing everyone's attention to the front of the convoy.
Finally, they launched a fatal blow, raiding the rear grain team with all their strength and burning four grain trucks. This caused Fang Linyan's evaluation to be directly lowered from A to C+.
At this time, looking at the burning grain truck behind them, Fang Linyan and others could only go back to save them. However, less than a minute after they evacuated from the front, the person in charge of the grain truck, Meng Tietou, was assisted by an assassin lurking in the dark.
A sniper gunner was killed! The mission rating immediately dropped to C!
This is completely equivalent to the life-and-death line of passing. Once the evaluation drops again, the mission will be a complete failure.
That means not only wasting so much time in vain, but also losing 200 reputation points!
Not only that, this feeling of being completely manipulated by others is really very unpleasant, and it is like hitting a wall at every turn.
Fortunately, at this time, the successful news of the "Picture Presentation" mission came, which swept away the gloomy atmosphere in the team. Fang Linyan also calmed down and immediately said to the team:
“We will be counted out every step of the way by the other party, simply because we care too much about the mission goal!”
“So, now that we have received a generous reward for the map contribution, we already have the capital to withstand the failure of this mission!”
“If this is the case, the mission can be defeated, but this tone must be spoken! Therefore, we will retreat first, pretend to give up the mission, and then go out for a few kilometers, and then return with the carbine!”
“In this case, you can probably catch your opponent, and then give them a big bite!”
At this time, the cohesion of the legendary team is also stronger than ever, and they all support Fang Linyan’s decision.
So twenty minutes later, although the mission evaluation dropped directly to D and the mission also showed the message of failure, Fang Linyan and the others pounced out and caught the enemy's incoming force.
At this time, everyone was holding back their anger and went all out in their attacks. Relying on the passive team ability of "Blood Flag" and Rubes' powerful clone technique, they successfully killed two people on the opposite team. Not only that
, and also killed the guide of the incoming Liu Bei army!
This guy is a plot character and a core member of this attack, named Bu Mang.
His identity is a Dong person from the "Lou Zhong Barbarians", who is good at driving wild beasts. Fang Linyan and the others were manipulated before, largely due to the intelligence of a spirit rat controlled by this beast master.
.
After killing the guide, something unexpected happened. After Fang Linyan and the others got the key, the remaining coachman in the convoy stood up and gritted his teeth looking at Bo Mang's body, then cut off his head and burst into tears.
stand up.
After asking, I found out that the coachman named Hei San'er had a grudge against Bu Mang. Hei San'er's brother died at the hands of Bu Mang. As for the twists and turns of right and wrong in this hatred.
, right or wrong, right or wrong, it really doesn’t matter at all.
The key is that Hei San'er then found a bamboo sign on Bu Mang's waist. This thing had some crooked words engraved on it. Even an expert like Goat could only identify a small part of this thing.
!
It is not impossible to identify them all, but according to the goat, it will take at least eight hours...
However, Hei San'er could understand this thing. He told Fang Linyan and others that the bamboo sign contained Dong people's cipher text and he could decipher it.
It turned out that Bu Mang recorded in it a secret cave five miles away: Liu Beijun hid some baggage there that was too late to transport, and told Bu Mang that if it could not be transported away within tomorrow, these things would be burned directly.
.
After Fang Linyan and others heard this, they discovered that the secret cave was actually not far away from the official road a few hundred meters away, so they went to look for it according to the map. As a result, they found a large amount of grain, cattle and horses in the cave. In this way, they would gain additional gains.
The baggage actually made up for the gap in the previously damaged baggage.
This is another village where there is a bright future and a bright future. It is a surprising and unexpected blessing!
Fang Linyan was thinking before that when they just set off, all the grain trucks and manpower were intact, and the mission prompt evaluation was A.
So if you want to complete the S-level (or above) evaluation, then what should you do? Now it seems that the key to breaking the situation is obviously here. On the one hand, we must ensure that the team is not damaged, and on the other hand, we must kill this Bo Mang and get the
Information about this secret cave.
In this case, the originally transported eight carts of grain plus three carts of baggage will become fourteen carts of grain plus six carts of baggage, so the task rating will of course be S or above.
When the grain truck arrived at its destination: Mamingyi, Fang Linyan and the others finally got a B- tip. Although the quantity of grain truck transportation was not much different, the main reason for lowering the evaluation was that the leader "Meng Tietou" was killed.
On this point.
Yang Yang also defended himself, saying that he and others also killed important figures on Liu Beijun's side, but Ma Mingyi's Cao Jun commander also responded simply:
The order entrusted to you by above is for you to protect the safety of the transportation team.
During this process, it is your duty to kill and injure the enemy in order to protect the transport team. The key is that you have not protected the people you should protect, and that is a loss of value!
However, after receiving this reward, Crespo, the person with the lowest reputation in the team, also had a reputation of 306 with Cao Ying. Then Fang Linyan and others got a prompt:
“The current reputation of all members of the legendary team with Cao Jun has exceeded 3,000 points!”
“The legendary team’s current reputation with Cao Jun has been successfully upgraded to respect!!”
“The legendary team is the third team to achieve respected reputation in Cao’s camp, so it will receive additional rewards.”
“You will receive extra attention from the generals in Cao Cao’s army, and you will have a higher chance of obtaining hidden tasks, unique tasks, etc. with higher rewards. Of course, this also means greater risks.”
“Main mission approved: The first step is completed!! You have achieved respect among Cao Cao’s forces in this world!”
