Chapter 71: Rencis (3)
In the city, every household has closed its doors, and there are basically no pedestrians in the streets and alleys, except for soldiers who are knocking and searching doors.
Tang Jiumin walked out of the alley and encountered a group of soldiers knocking on the door.
Both sides met their eyes.
The searching soldiers saw the knight badge on Tang Jiumin's chest, and their originally vigilant expression slightly relaxed.
"You are still searching? Didn't you kill them all yesterday afternoon?" Tang Jiumin took the initiative to speak, looking very natural.
When the soldiers heard this, someone said, "Did you go yesterday?"
Tang Jiumin replied: "Of course, yesterday I got into the stronghold where they gathered in the civilian area. I thought I could make a contribution, but in the end I was snatched away by you and the guards."
After saying that, Tang Jiumin shook his head helplessly, and his tone was full of envy.
It's true.
When the soldiers heard Tang Jiumin's words, they remembered the incident of raiding the rebels' stronghold last night. At that time, some people who had turned from prisoners to knights and soldiers were indeed mixed in.
The soldier standing in front showed a hint of compassion for Tang Jiumin.
He said: "Look at the badge on your chest, you are one of the newly enthroned knights? Alas, it's all the same. Although we also got the news and mixed in it, the Guards won the first prize in the end."
Tang Jiumin sighed and said, "It turned out to be the guards. They seem to be the army that the city lord trusts the most, no wonder."
"It's been a waste of time and there's no credit at all."
Not.
When the soldiers heard Tang Jiumin's words, they all agreed.
"That's right, we worked hard, but they took away the credit."
"Yes, it's so frightening to think about it."
“…”
Seeing this, Tang Jiumin asked a few more casually, "Hey, I saw it yesterday that it was basically a foregone conclusion, so I did not continue to participate in the encirclement and suppression."
"But when I went back last night, I saw that you seemed to be still searching. Could it be that the more important person escaped? Or should I help you find it?"
"No, no, it's nothing big, but the guards said that the city lord ordered a thorough investigation of the entire outer city and had to search from house to house. Even any minion in the organization had to be found." The soldier made a beheading gesture towards his neck.
Tang Jiumin nodded in understanding.
Then he said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I didn't feel it yesterday. I'm going to come out this morning to see if there is any place to drink, but the result is..."
The soldiers also understood and watched Tang Jiumin leave.
Tang Jiumin didn't find out about Rencis from the words of the soldiers, and the other party didn't know at all.
Rencis is the most core member of the resistance organization, and it seems that the other party is safe now.
but……
Where are you going to find Rencis? Where will he be now?
After Tang Jiumin walked out of the alley, he turned around and looked at the short and dilapidated civilian house.
The soldiers searched door to door, indicating that they had killed all the ones they should have been killed.
etc.
Tang Jiumin suddenly heard a noisy sound from the alley on the other side. He quickly retreated and retreated back into the alley.
Three soldiers walked out of the alley.
The one in front had empty hands, while the two behind him were each dragging one leg and a body.
"yawn……"
"I really didn't expect that I really found a fish that slipped through the net for us."
"Hmph, that's not it, but fortunately, they were all killed anyway. Let's go and drag it to the cemetery. Let's hide and rest openly."
"I've been tired all night, so tired..."
“…”
After the three of them dragged the bodies away, Tang Jiumin slowly walked out of the alley, his eyes flashing.
"Grave trench..."
Yes, many members of the rebel organization have been killed at this moment, and the City Lord's Mansion will definitely not bury the bodies of these "traitors".
Then, there is only one simple way, which is to throw these bodies into the grave.
Tang Jiumin suddenly took a step away, and his direction was the same as the three soldiers who had left completely. His next destination was the graveyard.
From previous observations, we can draw a conclusion that although Rencis is so stupid, he values emotions very much.
Rencis should be in the City Lord's Mansion but not, maybe because he felt that he had exposed his identity, maybe because? What should he do?
It was almost the hottest afternoon when the sun was at its peak, Tang Jiumin arrived at the chasing grave.
Three soldiers were dragging their bodies over before, but when Tang Jiumin came all the way, he did not find any traces of the three soldiers.
Tang Jiumin deliberately stayed outside for a while.
"Are you sure? The sixth day is coming soon. I think the orcs have almost been repelled. At this time, what crisis will there be?"
"Yes, Huoshen, would you make a mistake?"
"Yes, look, even if Huo Shen said that the crisis on the sixth day might have come from the Rebels organization, they are almost eradicated by the army sent by the City Lord's Mansion."
Huoshen led the team, including the Tarzorma, and the two teams continued to act together.
Facing everyone's doubts, Huo Shen was still calm and composed. He explained to everyone who questioned: "I thought so at first, but on the day the city lord announced that he would repel the orc, I saw him coughing up a large pool of black blood."
"I didn't care too much at that time, and I thought it was because the other party was injured, and the city lord held another banquet behind him."
"I saw him coughing up black blood again. Not only that, I also saw that he had a very bad complexion compared to the previous two days. I don't know if you pay attention to it. His lips were almost bloodless."
"What kind of disease will make the city lord torture that way in just a few days? In addition, the main mission tells us that there will be a disaster of destroying the city on the sixth day. Don't you think it's very strange?"
Huoshen's explanation silenced everyone.
Huoshen continued: "I guess the city lord will most likely die in the sixth day. So when this time comes, can Aotuo City be defended? Will it be slaughtered by the enemy?"
Everyone was still silent.
After a while, Tarzorma rubbed his painful head and said, "Forget it, my brain hurts a lot, it's not enough. Anyway, what you said makes sense, so tell us what to do next?"
Huoshen looked at the city lord's mansion not far away, and he said in a deep voice: "When we came, we were prisoners. Now there should be no other prisoners except for the repeated criminals there. I have an idea now."
"So, I think the crisis on the sixth day is likely to come from the sudden death of the city lord, and no one in Alto City is in charge, so I plan to find a way out for us."
Huoshen pointed to the prison.
"After my careful observation, the prison next to the city lord's mansion is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
