Dark Fairy

Chapter 209 Bai Lang’s Foresight

Wang Lin nodded quickly. In fact, Bailang didn't need to ask him to report this matter to Bailang today.

"Zuodao, there are many bandit villages within a hundred miles around Yongchuan City, but none of them are worthwhile. If it is a cottage, it is estimated that there are only three or five thatched huts and a dozen or so people. They are not qualified to take a look at the big fat sheep like the team. They can only pick out the single gang or scattered travelers. One by one is poor.

There is currently no copycat that can be called a serious copycat. "

While talking, Wang Lin took out a sheepskin scroll from his pocket, half a foot square, it was a simplified topographical map of the surrounding area of ​​Yongchuan City, it was the kind of text that outlined a few lines and points, and then added some geographical location. The marked one.It is far from the level of precision of the army.

"The knife, this is the approximate location where I bought it from someone." Wang Lin handed over the parchment roll in his hand.

Bai Lang took it over, rubbed his fingers together, and several balls of light like candle flames appeared out of thin air.The light method is most suitable for lighting.And this scene also made Wang Lin quite excited.

These days, there are very few Qi Refiners in places like Yongchuan City. You can only encounter one in a million, let alone witness the Qi Refiners performing magic techniques with your own eyes.This kind of magic cannot be compared with martial arts. Even a simple light can make Wang Lin unable to take his eyes away.

With the help of the bright light, Bailang quickly scanned the signs on the map.A total of sixteen "cottages" were found scattered.But after careful identification, it can be found that these so-called cottages are actually in the mountains not far from the official road or the mountain road.Especially along the Yuzhong Mountains.

After a while, Bai Lang pointed to one of the locations that was the worst for thieves, the most inconvenient sign between Liguandao and Shandao, and asked: "Can people here find it? Can I get a detailed road map?"

"Ah? You'll have to ask again to find out. If you can find someone, you should be able to do it."

"Yeah. People, or roadmaps. This has to be done as soon as possible."

"Yes, Zuo Dao. I will definitely get back to you as soon as possible."

Wang Lin then respectfully sent Bai Lang away, put away his magic and disappeared into the yard.But he was slightly suspicious in his heart, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion. He had a feeling just now that Bailang was not as interested in doing business with the mountain general Niu Jian as he was in asking about the small village later.

Although Tu was taken away by Bailang, Wang Lin remembered that there was nothing special about the cottage that aroused Bailang's interest?Even the so-called cottages around Yongchuan City belong to the least outstanding kind.

"What's the mystery of this Que'er Mountain Daomen Village?" he muttered in his heart.After calculating the time, it had been such a long time since Bailang left.So Wang Lin also left from the back of the yard.From the beginning to the end, no one knew that people would meet here in this yard from time to time in the middle of the night.

When Bai Lang returned home, he lit a lamp in his study, sat at his desk, took out a two-foot-square map and spread it out on the table.

The words on the top of the map read: A fine map of the entire area of ​​Yongchuan City.

In the lower right corner of the map, there is also a coat of arms with swords, guns and swords.It shows that this picture is not from an ordinary source, but from the Yamen of the Ministry of War, which belongs to the military-level specifications.Or confidential.

Bailang didn't get this map, but it was placed in Tang Yan's study drawer, and he just took it and used it.

Even if it is a military-level map of this world, it is not as detailed as the map of another world, but compared to the map Wang Lin brought just now, it is already a sky and a place.

Combining the two maps, Bailang roughly determined the possible area of ​​the Que'er Mountain Daomen Village.But if you really want to find a place, it is impossible to rely on a map, and a detailed route map or guide is best.

"If it's really in this area, it's really good. Backed by the mountains and in the Yuzhong Mountain Range, the terrain is complicated. It's easy to hide and there are many ways to escape. But it's hard not to be discovered if you want to attack.

But I haven't been there, so I don't know the exact situation.But it seems to be the most suitable here. "

While studying the map, Bailang pondered in his heart.

Just yesterday, the North City Pier took away the cargo of fifteen large three-pole ships.Only one of them was transported from the city lord's palace in Yongchuan City.Mainly ordnance and food.The goods of the remaining fourteen large ships were transported by carriages and horses from several surrounding cities to Yongchuan City, where they were then loaded onto the ships, organized into teams, and then sailed down the river together.

There are two big flags planted on the ship, one is the flag of the Hong Dynasty on the top, and the other is the flag of the three crosses of swords, guns and swords.

Anyone who sees this kind of fleet sailing on the river has to get out of the lane to let him go first.Not to mention water thieves, the navy had to escort them along the way, and robbery was the crime of conspiring against the nine clans.

This scene has become more and more frequent in Yongchuan City in the past three months.So much so that the stevedores at the dock were surprised at first, but now they are numb.He even cursed secretly or inwardly.Because loading and unloading cargo for this kind of official army ship is only half of the normal salary, and you can't refuse and neglect, otherwise you have no reason to cut you off.

And all of this is naturally in the eyes of all parties.Among them is Bailang.

Military resources were mobilized so frequently and in such large amounts, and the destination was Pengshan, thousands of miles away.This is not good news from any perspective.

This all shows that the situation in Pengshan in the south has not improved at all.And such a large demand for military resources, does it mean that the war has already started and the war is anxious?

In addition, although the news brought back by those who traveled to the north and south of the boat gang still cannot directly describe the situation in Pengshan, the further south you go along the Changshui River, the more you can hear and see more recruitment notices.There are even local yamen servants wandering the streets, catching unnamed people and stuffing them into the car, and sending them to Pengshan together with Zhengren.

Bailang didn't know how others viewed the battle in the south, but he was worried.

Can Hong Chao do it better than Yun Yan?Bailang found it difficult.Because I couldn't win the previous three times, and this time it's not even 50 years since the previous one.The Hong Dynasty's national power could not recover much at all, especially in terms of warriors and Qi refiners.So this time Bailang also felt unstoppable.

What if you really can't stop it?Those with a family can't stay in Yongchuan City waiting to die, can they?

Find a hidden place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then wait for Shangbang to quell the war and it will be over.So Bailang hoped to find a place to stay before the war completely got out of control.

And the mark on the map is Daomen Village near Que'er Mountain, which was spotted by Bai Lang.

A den of thieves must be hidden.And it won't be a hassle to grab it.
