Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 237 Spy
It was the first time for Old Man Li and others to see such a profound talisman. As for the realm Zhang Shilong said, they had only heard about it, and it was a very profound realm. Such a big killer.

While marveling, each of them suddenly became nervous. If the barbarians on the grassland found out about the talisman that could kill Tiangang Realm warriors and sent experts to snatch it, they probably would not have it at all. The ability to fight back was always worrying.

On the contrary, Chen Zheng and the others looked anxious on the surface, but after careful observation, they could find that their eyes were very calm, and there might be a trace of surprise, but the surprise itself was definitely not the power of the talisman.

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng couldn't help touching his vitality ring again, which was connected to the system space, and the real Thunder Talisman of Nine Firmaments was inside, and what Zhang Shilong took out was a fake.

Although it seems to be full of light, but if there is a Taoist master who depicts talismans, he will find that the outside of this talisman is full of precious light, but the inner power is empty. This is a very low-level talisman mistake, especially this high-level talisman. The materials are precious, and it is even more impossible for this kind of error that may occur to the talisman apprentices.

In fact, this is the news that Zhang Shilong had a secret conversation with Chen Zheng and others that night.When Zhang Shilong was in Dingbei City, he had already noticed that some people had been staring at their yard from time to time. If someone hadn't secretly tipped off the news, from the outside, it looked like an ordinary rich mansion. Years of experience told Zhang Shilong that it belonged to his subordinates. There were traitors among those warriors, but he wasn't sure, and was still thinking about how to deal with it. It happened that the arrival of Chen Zheng and others gave Zhang Shilong a small plan.

The whistleblower hid very deeply, and if he didn't use some special means, he probably wouldn't jump out by himself, so Zhang Shilong prepared to make a bait.Here comes a fake exchange.

The box of the real Nine Heavens God Thunder Talisman was handed over to Chen Zheng for safekeeping, while he went out to find a reliable person from Shenhou Mansion to order a fake one again.

Those Jianghu warriors don't know Taoism and can't draw talismans, so they definitely can't tell the truth from the false.When he gets news of such a treasure, he will definitely contact others as soon as possible, and he may even have the idea of ​​stealing it for himself. After all, this is a talisman that can deal with warriors in the Tiangang realm, and it can be used as a trump card to save his life.

Zhang Shilong had reason to believe that the spy could not stand such a temptation.

"Since there is such a heavy treasure to be transported, I ask you to work hard for the imperial court without any negligence." Zhang Shilong said solemnly.

"Obey." The group saluted respectfully, and then came to their respective positions.

Fortunately, today's night has been much quieter since the previous attack. I don't know if the spies are afraid of being exposed or if they are secretly looking for opportunities to show their fangs.

At this time, about a hundred miles away from the camp of Chen Zeng and others, there was a campsite, and a campfire burning inside could be clearly seen, with a whole sheep on it, surrounded by familiar people. There was a team of about a hundred people up and down, with a man in black robe sitting upright in the middle.

It was the prairie cavalry who had been sneaking behind Chen Zheng and the others before.

"Master Wizard, please use it." The cavalry commander immediately cut off the most delicious meat from the roast lamb and gave it to the wizard very respectfully. Then it was his own, and then it was the turn of the soldiers below.

The wizard took the mutton and carefully put it in his mouth to taste. Even though he had eaten a lot of mutton in his life, he still didn't get tired of it, it was still delicious in this shop.

While the group was feasting, they saw another small lump of dirt on the ground under the wizard, as if something was about to break through the ground.

Soon a little black and gray mouse came out of it, but what was different from ordinary mice was that the eyes of this little mouse were bright red like blood, and it looked a little creepy. The small bamboo tube turned out to be a pet that conveyed news.

The wizard cut off a piece of mutton and threw it in front of the little mouse, then opened the small bamboo tube with his hands, pulled out the sheepskin inside and looked at the contents inside, with a smile on his face.

"Master Wizard, what's the good news?" The cavalry commander looked excited, and the hundred or so prairie cavalry who accompanied him stopped eating meat after hearing this, their eyes turned green, like a pack of wolves.

"Come on, continue to eat. Our people have just passed on the news that these Beiyan people did bring a batch of things to the Barbarian Department. There are weapons, pills, etc. supported by Beiyan for the Barbarian Department. Of course In addition, there are some people who support their hands, but they are in the middle stage of Tongmai Realm and their hands are still injured, and there are some little dolls in the Luck Realm. When we launch an attack on the Beiyan people's camp, that's when the prey is most relaxed, and I think they will also like this early morning gift." Although the voice was a bit dry, the chill in it was very penetrating.

When Chen Zheng opened his eyes here, he found that the sky was already a bit dim.I really can't sleep anymore, even with a quilt, it's still a little uncomfortable to sleep on the grass, and I'm used to sleeping on the big bed, so I still feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

When he walked out of the tent, Chen Zheng found that many people had already woken up. They were either sitting and washing themselves, or starting their morning exercises. Anyway, the current state of these people in terms of internal strength and mental skills, from the outside world, was still unknown. There is no difference, so there is no need to worry about your skills being leaked.

However, this peaceful scene didn't last for a long time. In an instant, the complexions of the people in the camp changed a little, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from a distance.

Looking around, we can see that to the south of the crowd, there is suddenly a thin and long black line on the grassland. This black line is getting closer and closer, and it is becoming clearer. It is the notorious grassland cavalry in northern Xinjiang. , numbering over a hundred, and there was a faint metallic reflection on their bodies. At first glance, they were not cannon fodder cavalry on the grassland, but the kind of elite cavalry that had experienced life and death battles.

"Enemy attack!" People in the camp rushed out quickly. The warriors like Chen Zheng were okay, but some swordsmen were still confused. When they heard the enemy attack, they didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they killed them with their weapons. come out.

But how can the speed of human legs be as fast as the four legs of a horse? Not to mention that these prairie cavalry ride on high-quality prairie horses. They are not only tall but also have strong endurance. Even these big men weighing more than [-] kilograms, including Weapons and armor are completely movable.

Although there is still some distance from the camp, the prairie cavalry has launched its own offensive. I saw that the prairie cavalry have begun to draw their bows and set arrows. The sharp arrows shone with life-threatening light and fell like locusts one after another. It's fast, and it's also very cruel and very lethal.

It's especially true that these prairie cavalry shoot arrows very well. They look like well-trained people on horseback. Before many swordsmen can react, the arrow feathers have already been inserted in the vital points. Even if you have a whole body It's a pity that the internal strength of the body has not been brought into play. For example, if the throat and head are hit hard, even a powerful person will be fatally injured, let alone these ordinary martial artists in the luck realm.

Chen Zheng avoided it at the first moment, and quickly came to the tent, and then took out the greedy knife of the seven deadly sins and the longbow he used from the bag in the system space.

Just now Chen Zheng discovered that the arrowheads on the arrow feathers of these prairie cavalrymen were actually made of fine iron. They were indeed not ordinary prairie people. Their purpose was obviously for the things that Beiyan brought over. It seems that what Zhang Shilong said was correct. Wrong, there are indeed spies in this team. I didn't expect the prairie barbarians to infiltrate Beiyan's Shenhou Mansion. It's really unimaginable that there will be people from the Central Plains working for the prairie people.

This is Chen Zheng's knowledge blind spot. Because of the influence of the surrounding environment, to be honest, he doesn't pay much attention to the people on the grassland. It's not that he discriminates against the region, but he thinks that the customs on the grassland are very different from those in the Central Plains, which is barbaric. When the grassland people act recklessly and without thinking, they regard the people of the Central Plains as ants. In addition, the imperial court has pursued some dark statements about the northern Xinjiang grassland over the years. The blood debt between the Beiyan people and the grassland people is often everyone It is despised.

But in fact, the big tribes on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang look no different from the nobles of Beiyan. They all love power, gold, silver and jewelry, beautiful women and gentle villages, and of course there are people who pursue martial arts and believe in the strongest exist.

In fact, the strength of the grassland people in northern Xinjiang is not weak, but they have not formed a highly centralized political system so far, and it is still a relatively traditional form of tribal assembly.Although the conflicts between the big and small tribes and their respective stances lead to the fact that the tribal conference is often a war of words, but it cannot be denied that the role of the tribal conference is like the court of Beiyan, but there is no clear leader , each tribe, that is, every official above the court, the strength of the tribe's power affects the weight and status of their words.Although the tribal conference has not made any outstanding decisions in recent years, it cannot be denied that the grassland tribes recognize the tribal conference, and once a huge crisis occurs that may endanger the entire grassland, the tribal conference will often play a huge role.

For example, there was a very huge snow disaster in northern Xinjiang. Just in October, the sky was covered with snowflakes. At this time, the tribal conference played its due role. The large tribes with spare capacity began to annex those small tribes, and the combat power that could be dispatched was also divided into two groups under the arrangement of the tribal conference. To the south, look for food from Beiyan, and the other way is to go west, to fight the autumn wind from the west border with Xirong.It is completely like a replica of the Beiyan court.

Similarly, Beiyan has the Imperial Academy, the six imperial departments, and its own army. Beiyan also has its own wizard church, with several golden tribes coordinating development, and there are many grassland tribes under its command. All the people are soldiers, and they have never been Engaged in production work, all daily necessities depended on burning, killing, and looting, and their combat effectiveness was astonishing.

This is why Beiyan is still a confidant of Beiyan since the founding of Beijiang. Compared with Beijiang, the people in the other three places are not so obviously expansive.Now Xirong has lived a life of captive small western countries sucking blood from them.And I heard that many pirates in Dongyi have started to do business. Of course, they are merchants during the day and pirates at night. Two jobs do not delay.As for the people in Nanban, if they didn't have a fierce conflict with the people of Nanyue Kingdom, they would be active on almost one-third of an acre of their own land. Only the northern border has always been strongly intrusive, and they have always kept their eyes on Beiyan. Who would be dissatisfied if their back garden was being watched by others, let alone the country?

So it can only be said that Chen Zheng's understanding is still very one-sided. Perhaps he could realize the strength of Northern Xinjiang only after he had seen the Prairie Conference held by the Barbarians. What is Yan's worry?
But the most urgent thing, what Chen Zheng needs to think about is not these, but to deal with the coming attack.

As Chen Zheng guessed, after two waves of shooting, the prairie cavalry finally approached the camp, and began to charge and kill with scimitars or maces.

But they were too confident. Did they really think that they would have no resistance after raiding the camp?
When Chen Zheng came outside the tent, he saw that Xiong Shan had already killed him. The long knife in his hand was a head taller than a human being. Moreover, Xiong Shan was originally a powerful warrior. Under the full swing of the sword, a prairie cavalry hadn't reacted yet. Even the man and the horse were directly divided into two halves, with blood splattered all over their bodies.

The cavalry can exert very powerful power on the plain, but there are many obstacles in the camp, which brings opportunities for the people in the camp to counterattack. It would be foolish to abandon the camp and escape. Who can run faster than the cavalry?Even Xianggang reporters can't do it.

Only by fighting back inside the camp can we have a chance of survival.

Except for Xiongshan, other warriors also started to attack. Grassland cavalry began to be shot down in twos and threes. Not only that, those swordsmen of luck even pulled out five crossbows from the carriage. You must know that in terms of short-distance lethality, The crossbow was extremely terrifying. Chen Zheng saw two volleys with his own eyes, and seven or eight cavalrymen were shot off their horses, even if they had real energy protection, it was useless.
