Chengyang was still surrounded by the Chu army, and the Cai people relied on the city defense formation to hold on. Compared with the vast Chu State, the Cai State was a small country. If this southern Pingfan was lost, the capital would immediately be destroyed.
Exposed in front of the Chu army.
Since their defeat in the battle outside the city, the Cai people have held on for more than half a month, repelling the Chu people's three attacks on the city. In just a few days, Zheng's reinforcements will arrive, and the Chu people's attack will be considered a failure.
Because after the reinforcements from Zheng, Song and Chen will also come to assist in the battle. If the Chu people still do not retreat, what is waiting for them is the Jin army.
In the early morning mist, under the roots of an old tree on the inside of the city wall, the soil suddenly loosened. An iron ruler came out and turned around twice. A figure emerged from the ground. It was Wei Fushen.
The iron ruler is called the Xunlong Ruler. It can induce the magical formation of the machine orifice, and there is a mirror on the ruler that can reflect the outside scenery. It is one of the treasures of Wei Fushen when digging holes.
After he came out, he found that the position of the hole he dug was slightly off, and he dug it to the garrison area under the city. This was normal, after all, the tunnel was quite long and took two full days to complete.
He quickly and carefully covered the exit of the cave with soil, trying his best to remove any human traces, then jumped up to the treetops, hid in the dense canopy, and surveyed this important town of Cai State.
On the city wall and under the city wall, there are a large number of city defense equipment. There are Cai Jun dozing everywhere, holding weapons in their arms, leaning against the base of the wall and sleeping soundly, and some simply sleep on the ground, with their bodies in their arms.
Covered with a piece of ragged felt.
This is Chengyang surrounded by heavy troops of the Chu people. Chengyang in the midst of a great battle. If it weren't for rescuing the Golden Gu witch, Wei Fushen would not have jumped into this dangerous place of life and death.
Based on his original intention, he actually didn’t want to come. No matter what price the Master Dongsun offered, he didn’t intend to come. He is a thief, not a thug. Stealing valuables, exploring secret caves, and touching the hair acupoints are his real job.
, doing anything else is called not doing your job properly.
At that time, he rejected Master Dongsun's proposal without even asking about the benefits he could get.
After being rejected by him, Master Dongsun didn't offer any generous terms, let alone his favorite Fenmai Pill, he just said one thing.
"I have a message for you. Did you know that the academy updated the red list last year? Don't you know? Someone proposed that your great thief Wei Fushen be put on the list. Unfortunately, it was rejected during the meeting. The person who replaced you on the list was Wu.
Ren Zhuanzhu. Do you know why it is Zhuanzhu and not you? Because he broke into the academy once and escaped without being caught after entering the fourth peak of Xiandu Mountain."
At that time, Wei Fuchen was silent, and Master Dongsun added: "How can Zhuanzhu's actions compare with yours? Has he done anything important? Anyway, I am ignorant and have never heard of it. But that's it.
Just one time, you were listed on the red list for trespassing on the mountain behind the academy, which made all the tycoons in the world look at you with suspicion. You, Wei Fushen, are called a thief in vain, why don't you live up to it?"
This knife stabbed Wei Fuchen's liver, causing pain and raw pain...
His thoughts returned to the present. After seeing the opportunity, Wei Fuchen flew out of the tree canopy and climbed onto the roof of the inner square. He safely escaped from the danger and sneaked into the city.
At this time, the sky was already bright, people in the city were already busy, and the streets and alleys were full of people. Wei Fushen came down from the roof, got into the crowd, and began to look for the target.
Chengyang did not have a separate school building, so the place where Zheng Jianzi imprisoned the great shaman Jingu was either Chengyang Tingsi or a military prison camp, so the first place he went to was Tingsi.
Wei Fushen has rich experience. Although he has never been to Chengyang, the location of each temple in the city usually follows the rules, and he quickly found the place.
Hiding in a remote and dark corner, he began to determine the location of the prison in the temple, took out his compass, measured the direction and distance, and drew a plan of the tunnel on the ground.
After calculating for a moment, he quickly climbed up to the roof and lay on the roof to watch. He saw a group of officials running past the street, shouting "catch the thief" and running past.
During the war, the nerves of the soldiers and civilians in the city were extremely tense, and anyone suspicious would be arrested first.
Wei Fuchen had an idea and came up with a clever plan. He didn't give it a second thought. He got off the beam and walked to the front of the temple, tilting his neck and looking in.
The two sergeants on duty at the door shouted: "Who are you? What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
Wei Fushen said: "I am a merchant from out of town. I didn't make it after the siege. Now I have nothing to do. I just want to take a look. I don't know where this is? Can you let me take a stroll?"
Saying that, he rushed in.
The two sergeants could not be punished by him: "This is an important area of the temple. No one is allowed to wander around. Please leave quickly..."
"Huh? You don't have ears?"
"After taking it...how dare you resist?"
"Come here, brothers, lend a hand. There is a thief here who breaks into the temple..."
"We've got it! We've got it! You still dare to struggle? What kind of thief is this?"
"They say they are foreign merchants. Could it be that they are craftsmen? Report to the officials quickly..."
"I'm back...the official ordered me to be thrown into prison first and then try again later!"
"I can't even hold him in the prison..."
"They should be sent directly to the city walls to kill them to boost the morale of the troops."
"There are not many strong men left. It is a waste to kill them. It is only right to recruit soldiers who dare to fight!"
After being taught Wei Fushen's clever plan, he was sent to the prison of the imperial temple. He saved the effort of drawing maps and digging tunnels, and felt very relieved. Moreover, these sergeants had no knowledge and did not know the ability of Wei Fushen, the great thief. They did not even tie the rope.
With just one stick, he was sent in, which was really smooth.
As for being sealed in the sea of qi, that is of course impossible. Most of the monks in the city are on the city wall, just a few ordinary soldiers. Why seal him in the sea of qi?
There were two cells in the prison, adjacent to each other on the left and right. As expected, they were both packed with people. Wei Fushen was sent to the cell on the left and immediately began to search for the target.
The Golden Gu Great Witch is in the realm of spiritual witches. Even if he has never seen it before, it is not difficult to identify him. Wei Fuchen looked over one by one. Some prisoners were directly pushed aside by him, and some prisoners were grabbed by his wrists for inspection. There was a sudden uproar.
There was chaos in the prison.
A few blind prisoners who wanted to cause trouble for him were instantly knocked unconscious and thrown into the corner.
There was obviously no one on the left. Wei Fuchen grabbed a hole in the prison grate as thick as his arm, crawled into another room, and did the same thing, but there was still no Golden Gu Great Witch.
There was a big commotion here, and two temple officials came in with sticks to check. Wei Fuchen grabbed them with both hands, grabbed them through the prison bars, and pulled them closer: "Are there any witch cultivators imprisoned here?"
The temple official begged in pain: "My hero, let go, you always let go... What kind of witch cultivator? No, really not..."
Wei Fushen asked again: "Is there a heavy prison cell? Where is it located? Or a water prison?"
The temple official pointed to the end of the prison. There was a corner over there, which was difficult to distinguish in the dark.
Wei Fushen shrunk, slipped out of the gap in the prison bar, carried two temple officials and passed, when he saw that there was indeed a rusty iron door at the corner.
The temple official was still begging for mercy: "The heavy prison has not been used for many years. It is empty. Where are the prisoners... Please let go..."
Wei Fuchen looked in through the small square hole in the iron door for a moment, and sneered: "You dare to lie to your face, you really don't want to live!"
As soon as he spat out his palm force, the two temple officials fainted immediately.
