I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 152: Sneaking into the Bandit Village (asking for monthly tickets)

Dongyue Mountains, Maple Ridge.

In the autumn mountains, the mist is thick and the red maples are in full bloom all over the mountains.

A large number of Qinzhou garrison troops were lying in ambush at various important roads in the mountains, looking towards a certain place in the mountains from time to time, waiting quietly.

A mountain stronghold hidden in the mountains, with a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps, and it is heavily guarded.

In the afternoon, He Buning and his group, who had been guarding near the mountain stronghold for half a day, suddenly felt a cold and gloomy air around them. When they turned around, they saw Sang Que, dressed in black, carrying a bow and arrow and a knife, walking out of the fog.

Following behind him was Qin Ze, who was soaked in water and wearing a hat, dressed like a corpse retriever, as well as Xia Chan, who had wild fruits in her arms and a black cat on her shoulder.

"Why did you bring her here?"

He Buning suddenly saw Xia Chan, looked displeased, and questioned Sang Que.

He originally didn't want to pay any attention to this sister and just let her live freely. He also tried his best not to think about the problems concerning this sister. Suddenly seeing her at this moment made him inexplicably upset.

Sang Que glanced at Xia Chan. It was because Kou Yushan suddenly went on a business trip and it would take at least seven or eight days for him to come back. Xia Chan didn't want to stay alone, and it wouldn't work if Xuan Yu accompanied her. That's why she brought Xia Chan along.

"She won't get in the way, I promise." Sang Que said seriously.

Xia Chan felt frightened by He Buning's stare and hid behind Sang Que, which made He Buning even more annoyed. He took a breath and tried to soften his expression.

He Buning retracted his gaze and said quickly and simply, "The bandit camp ahead is at the border of Qinzhou and Jinzhou. This group of mountain bandits usually acts cautiously. If Qinzhou chases them closely, they will use the waterway behind the mountain and retreat to the other side of the mountain, to the border of Jinzhou."

"That waterway is a natural barrier that can stop the pursuers from Qinzhou and Jinzhou. The doctor who raised corpses in Ziyun Mountain before, and the doctor who appeared in Pinghu Village, who changed his name to Qu Tianhe, are currently hiding in the bandit camp in front, raising corpses for the leader of the bandit camp. I have arranged Qinzhou's garrison troops around here. You will go to the waterway dock behind the mountain village to guard it later."

He Bu Ning looked at Qin Ze. You can't call people by their full names in the mountains and forests.

Qin Ze nodded, "Captain, I am the sixth in my family, you can just call me Qin Liu."

He Buning nodded calmly, "Xiao Wu, you guard the west side of the village, Xiao Liu, you guard the east side, keep an eye on her."

He Buning glanced at Xia Chan, Xiao Liu sighed and nodded. There was a cliff to the east of the mountain stronghold, which was the least likely place for the bandits to escape. Although their captain said that he didn't care about his sister, he actually did care about her.

Sang Que also looked at Xia Chan and nodded slightly at her. In fact, before coming, she had discussed with Xia Chan and decided to let Xia Chan show off her abilities a little this time, as a way of reporting to He Buning.

Xia Chan is mentally retarded, but that doesn't mean she is a loser who needs to be taken care of all the time. In fact, Xia Chan is a little stubborn in her bones and wants to rely on her own abilities to protect the people she cares about.

Sangque respects Xiachan and is willing to let her try.

He Buning withdrew his gaze and asked Xiao Wu to show Qu Tianhe's portrait to everyone.

"Sang..." He Buning suddenly stopped.

"Sang Er, I am the second child in the family." Sang Que said to himself.

He Buning didn't think much about it and continued, "Sang Er, come with me to sneak into the mountain stronghold. Try to find Qu Tianhe and capture him alive before dark without alerting the enemy. I suspect he is related to the ghost troupe. The people in the ghost troupe are always elusive and very good at hiding. We must capture him alive to follow the clues."

If it weren't for the clues about the ghost troupe, He Buning would not have personally taken on this mission of suppressing bandits.

Qu Tianhe used the bandits to study the art of raising corpses. He Buning was very worried that once Qu Tianhe mastered the method of raising corpses quickly, he would most likely train a zombie army for the ghost troupe.

There will be great chaos by then, so he must nip it all in the bud.

After the discussion, Sang Que and He Bu Ning stayed where they were and waited for the others to arrive at their respective locations.

He Bu Ning stared in the direction of the village without saying anything, and Sang Que didn't have the habit of actively chatting with others, so the two of them just stood there and didn't feel the atmosphere was stiff or awkward at all.

When the time was almost up, He Buning led the way to the woods outside the bandit camp, and He Buning asked Sang Que to put on the Night Walker's mask. The mask had the power to deter evil spirits, and most evil spirits would not dare to approach when they saw the mask.

The two wooden gates of the mountain stronghold were closed tightly, and there were watchtowers on both sides. Before He Buning could ask Sang Que how he planned to get in, he saw a thin layer of gray mist appearing under Sang Que's feet, buried in the weeds, and slowly spreading towards the gate of the bandit stronghold.

Sang Que's eyes were focused, he was calm and not in a hurry at all.

Under her control, the evil fog spread like flowing water to the gate of the bandit camp, and then continued to go up along the gate and the watchtower, gathering behind the two bandits in the watchtower.

The bandit felt cold and looked back, but saw nothing. He frowned in confusion, then turned around and continued to scan the outside of the village.

At this moment, the evil fog under the feet of the bandits suddenly rose up, and Sang Que disappeared from He Buning's side in an instant, appeared in the watchtower, knocked a bandit unconscious with a single blow, and then teleported to the other side and struck again with a single blow.

In just a blink of an eye, the bandits on guard in the watchtowers on both sides were eliminated, truly silently.

He Buning was amazed by Sang Que's operation. He had seen the evil fog used by other ghost walkers, but almost no one could control the evil fog to such a delicate level.

If Sangque had spread the evil fog in large quantities just now, even at a fast enough speed, the gray fog would easily alert the bandits, and those bandits would definitely have enough time to sound the alarm.

Now, she hid the evil fog in the grass and approached the bandit camp. Even if the bandits felt the chill from the evil fog, they would not notice anything unusual in the grass.

Afterwards, Sang Que used the ability of teleportation in the evil fog to appear silently behind the bandit, and his action was very decisive.

This Sang Er is young, but he is very thoughtful. He has thought carefully about how to make effective use of the evil fog, so we don’t have to teach him again.

Moreover, her control over the evil mist was much more flexible than that of other ghost walkers, as if the evil mist was her own ability, rather than something "borrowed" from the evil spirit.

Thinking of the method of controlling the evil spirit that Sang Que taught Qin Ze, He Buning dispelled his unnecessary doubts. This method of controlling the evil spirit by pretending to be the evil spirit's appearance when it was alive and deceiving the evil spirit is also used by various Yin generals.

In fact, this method is also used within the Evil Suppression Bureau to train ghost walkers.

He Buning didn't know where Sang Que learned this method from, but at this moment she must be using this method to control the evil spirit. The personality and appearance she showed must be the same as the evil spirit she was controlling.

He Buning also noticed that Sang Que had a ring on her right index finger. She often subconsciously rubbed the ring with her thumb. That should be the anchor point of her original identity.

Just now he saw something on Qin Ze's waist, a wooden dagger played by boys, with the nicknames of Qin Ze's two sons on it.

These little things are not important to He Buning. He only hopes that Sangque can grow up quickly.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are ordinary people after all. Considering their safety, he dare not be too reckless in some dangerous tasks. In the future, with Sang Er by his side, he will be able to handle strange cases more boldly and efficiently.

On the mountain watchtower.

Sangque inserted a wooden stick into the clothes of the two unconscious bandits and leaned them against the pillars. From inside the stronghold, it looked like the two men were standing facing outwards.

After doing all this, Sangque spread out the evil fog, teleported to the inside of the gate, pulled out the bolt and opened the gate.

He Buning had already arrived at the door, and Sang Que made way.

"Captain, please come in."

He Buning couldn't help but snort and laugh. This was his first time to sneak in so brazenly, and it felt pretty good.

It was dusk and the bandits were preparing for nightfall. Everyone in the bandit camp seemed very busy and did not notice anything unusual at the gate.

"We will split up and release the signal smoke when we find Qu Tianhe. Be careful."

"Ok!"
