Tomb Raiders in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 26 The Curse of the Green Scales
Zhang Faqiu took out the black donkey's hooves from his bosom, then motioned Xiahou Dun to fetch a pile of firewood, picked out the hottest firewood with his long sword, put it on the edge of the firepile, sat on the ground, and put the black donkey The donkey's hooves were chopped up and squeezed in the palm of your hand until they were almost all turned into tiny pieces before putting them on the firewood.

The black donkey's hooves were on fire, and a puff of black smoke visible to the naked eye came out, and a special smell filled the air.

Zhang Faqiu pointed to a soldier with blue scales on his back: "Come here, take off your clothes!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Faqiu, only to see that Zhang Faqiu's sword picked up the burnt black donkey hoof fragments with the blade, and threw it on the blue scales on the soldier's back!
The burned gray residue fell on the blue scales, and it turned into a layer of black oil, adhering to the scales. Zhang Faqiu reached out and touched it, and felt that the scales were secreting a layer of transparent liquid. , wet the residue.

Xiahou Dun narrowed his eyes: "It works, but it doesn't look obvious."

Zhang Faqiu didn't answer. His fingers tapped the soldier's junior's scales a few times. The scales were still thick and felt like they were made of iron. After tapping them lightly a few times, they could still make a slight "clank" sound.

"It's useless!" Zhang Faqiu frowned, this isn't corpse poison, so what could it be?Breaking open the coffin in the dragon's cave that was still nourishing, could this be a punishment from the heavens?

Counting myself, there are six people in total. When the museum opened, one was killed by the big snow-white eagle, and there are five remaining. One died just now, and now there are only four.

Who will be the next one?
Zhang Faqiu patted the soldier on the back and said, "Put on your clothes, I have nothing to do at the moment."

The soldier's face was pale, Zhang Faqiu looked at Xiahou Dun, and said, "Go back to the army tent first, I'm trying to figure out a way."

"Well, come down from you, Lao Zhang and I will go back first." Xia Houdun pointed to the soldiers he had brought, and asked these people to stay and retrieve the frightened fleeing horses, and Zhang Faqiu led a dozen soldiers, Walk back to the army.

Back in the army camp, Zhang Faqiu and Xiahou Dun returned to the barracks. By this time it was completely dark, and the night watchman was Xiahou Dun's brother Xiahou Chun.

The two brothers led Zhang Faqiu to meet Cao Cao in the coach's camp.

Although it was late at night, Cao Cao hadn't slept yet, with a worried look on his face.

Seeing this, Zhang Faqiu made a rough guess. Now that the big tomb is being dug, military pay, food and grass are naturally no longer a problem. The only problem is that the soldiers are at a disadvantage!

When Zhang Faqiu first came to this world, Cao Cao was newly defeated and his army was unstable.

"Greetings, Mr. Cao!" Zhang Faqiu and others stepped forward and saluted slightly.

These days it is not like the people of the later generations meet, the first sentence is "Hello", but it is mainly based on bowing, bowing and clasping fists.Cao Cao forced a smile on his face, and said slightly, "Are you back?"

Zhang Faqiu said first: "Everything that needs to be solved has been settled. Mr. Cao can concentrate on the war. If there is insufficient money and food in the army, you can go to other places to get it."

Hearing Zhang Faqiu's words, Cao Cao was quite relieved, and said: "The army has a lot of food and grass, and this is all thanks to the sir."

"Mr. Cao takes helping the world as his duty. Zhang Faqiu should do his best. It's just that it's getting dark now, Mr. Cao. Please rest and take care of your health." Zhang Faqiu sighed in his heart. Luo Guanzhong's violent Cao Cao is completely different. The person who can write "Duke Zhou vomits and feeds, and the world returns to his heart" is naturally a wise master.

"What Faqiu said is true, I should listen to it." Cao Cao immediately ordered him to go to sleep.

After leaving the military tent, Xiahou Dun asked curiously, "Why didn't you tell us about the strange things we encountered?"

"Mr. Cao is worried about the war, and we can figure out how to deal with these things ourselves." Zhang Faqiu said, he lived in the same camp with the three surviving soldiers tonight, and planned to bury the big rooster the next day.

When he woke up the next day, Zhang Faqiu moved his body first, and after feeling nothing unusual, he asked the other three sergeants.

The three said that everything was normal, and they didn't feel the slightest feeling in their backs.

"Could it be that we are worrying too much?" Zhang Faqiu said to himself, his mentality was a little more optimistic, just after he left the military tent, he saw Xiahou Dun walking towards him with an unhappy expression.

"Brother Xiahou!" Zhang Faqiu called out.

Xia Houdun showed embarrassment, clasped his fists at Zhang Faqiu and said, "Brother Zhang, something bad happened."

Zhang Faqiu's expression changed: "But another strange thing happened in Longgui Mountain?"

"No." Xiahou Dun scratched the back of his head and said, "You are a military lord with a high rank in the army, so..."

"So there are some people who are dissatisfied, and Cao Gong is not going well in the war right now. Some people slander Cao Gong and want me to deal with the army?" Zhang Faqiu opened his mouth and said with an active mind.

Xiahoudun nodded, very embarrassed: "If it's just that, my brother will carry it down for you, but the problem is... that guy wants you to go to the city to find out news!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhang Faqiu asked curiously, "Who is that? Didn't it just tell me to die, Mr. Cao..."

"After my brother fell asleep yesterday, he had a headache. He entrusted this person with full authority to run the army, but he is also a Confucian scholar who respects filial piety. My brother has never told him about our affairs."

"Mr. Fengxiao?" When Zhang Faqiu heard this, he immediately knew who it was. Except for Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, how could Cao Cao trust others so much?
"That's right! It's Mr. Guo." Xiahou Dun had an embarrassing look on his face: "Mr. Guo always thought that you were a military officer relying on flattery, and he has always been a selfless person, so this time he named you by name. , told you to go to the city to inquire about the news.”

Zhang Faqiu thought to himself: "In the troubled times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the city is full of dangers, but now I have the calamity of green scales. If I enter the city, I may not be able to find a way to save it. Why don't I just agree."

"It's okay, I'm a general in the army, and I should plan battles for Cao Cao, but I don't know how I can sneak into the city."

Seeing that Zhang Faqiu did not refuse, Xiahoudun took over directly. Xiahoudun looked at Zhang Faqiu even more highly and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange my confidants to enter the city with you. When the time comes, you will pretend to be radish sellers in the city." I will prepare all the paperwork and identity certificates for you from the farmer’s family.”

"The reporter gave me more gold and silver treasures. I heard that there are many beautiful ladies in the city." Zhang Faqiu said with an evil face. The city Cao Cao is now capturing is called Fengcheng, and there are many defenders in the city. The general in the city... seems to be called Zang Ba.

"Don't worry! The treasure is enough!" Xiahou Dun laughed.

At the same time, outside Fengcheng, an old Taoist priest with white beard and hair came to the gate of the city, looked at Fengcheng and hissed: "Yu Ji's divination three months ago said that the burial passed down from the Zhou Dynasty would appear here, and I don't know if it is It's true, let's go and see!"
