Chapter 294 Shen Shuli discovers that Lin Wanwan possesses a cheat ability
The fleeing Zhenbei Army was still accused of treason and collusion with the enemy.
They didn't dare to show their faces at all.
They wanted to uncover the conspiracy in secret.
The Third Prince, Xiao Yuqiang, didn't care about the lives of the more than 200,000 soldiers of the Zhenbei Army at all!
In order to frame the Xie family, he did not hesitate to let the entire Zhenbei Army be wiped out!
Even if it strengthens the Northern Barbarian army, we are willing to do so!
It's absolutely terrifying, hateful, and outrageous!
Even if such a person became emperor, he would surely be a tyrant without any moral bottom line!
Simply.
Xie Chengyuan was not the playboy he appeared to be.
He secretly trained many Silver Armor Guards, who sensed something was wrong in advance and sent the information to Xie Chengyuan.
This allowed Xie Chengyuan to secretly leave the capital in time, leading a group of Silver Armor Guards to rescue the General of the North.
Xie Chengyuan spent twelve years training just over 12,000 Silver Armor Guards.
He secretly led eight thousand Silver Armor Guards who were not on a mission that time, and almost all of them were lost, in order to rescue the General of the North from the enemy.
If the Northern Barbarian army hadn't wanted to humiliate General Zhenbei and vent their anger, they wouldn't have taken his life immediately.
Perhaps Xie Chengyuan never even had a chance to rescue them!
After the General of the North recovered somewhat from his injuries.
I was always worried about the soldiers who had deserted, and I didn't want them to live with that infamy forever.
They were also worried that without supplies, they would not be able to survive.
Xie Chengyuan then dispatched almost all of his remaining Silver Armor Guards to Hanshan Pass to search for traces of the Zhenbei Army.
After a month of searching, a clue was finally found.
The Zhenbei Army had been hiding in the desolate mountains, barely surviving.
That was during a period of extreme heat and natural disasters.
Moreover, they were located in the northernmost region, the area most severely affected by the disaster.
They were almost out of ammunition and food.
They happened to run into the Silver Armor Guards.
The Silver Armor Guards brought them a lot of supplies, as well as a secret letter from the General Who Guards the North.
They then devised a plan to have the Zhenbei Army disguise themselves as refugees and slowly smuggle themselves southward into the turbulent northern border region.
along the way.
The Silver Armor Guards also collected all the supplies from all branches, including Drunken Beauty.
With a large amount of supplies, the Zhenbei Army, which was barely surviving, was able to recover some of its strength.
It took them almost half a year to finally reach the southeastern border, carrying all the supplies Xie Chengyuan had distributed in various places and crossing numerous uninhabited mountains.
After listening to Xie Chengyuan's story.
Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun were unable to calm down for a long time.
There was a moment of silence in the room as people processed this information.
Shen Shuli broke the silence first, saying, "With so many people and supplies, we'll probably have to mobilize all the ships, and it will take at least four or five trips to bring them back."
When all the ships set sail together, they can carry around 60,000 people at a time.
In addition to people, there were also goods.
Goods can be stacked together, and a single trip can actually carry more than a person can.
As long as it doesn't exceed the ship's maximum load capacity, it's fine.
Since this matter concerned Xie Chengyuan, he couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't I go out to sea with you? After all, it's my business, and I have to take responsibility. I can't leave it all to you."
Shen Shuli pursed her lips and did not agree immediately.
Mu Wanjun also glanced cautiously at her best friend.
They need modern supplies when they go out, and taking him along might expose their secrets, so there are some operations they can't let him participate in.
Shen Shuli knew her best friend was worried that her secret would be exposed, so she reached out and patted her hand.
Then he turned to Xie Chengyuan and said, "Sure, my father and Prince Xuan will be leading a team out to sea this time, so you can go with them."
Upon hearing this, Xie Chengyuan's eyes crinkled with a smile as he asked, "Will you and the princess go?"
He didn't actually want the two of them to take any risks.
After all, nobody knows what the situation is on the other side.
The fewer people who take risks, the better.
Shen Shuli nodded and said, "Yes, we will go. We each have our own strengths, and we can help each other out if we go."
Xie Chengyuan had no reason to stop their decision, so he said, "When shall we set off?"
"Do you have anything to pack? We'll meet at the dock later," Shen Shuli said.
Xie Chengyuan nodded: "Okay, see you later."
Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun left the Xie family first.
They need to fly to the other side by helicopter in advance, so they definitely can't go with Xie Chengyuan.
The two told Su Yunhai and Xiao Yuxuan that Xie Chengyuan would go out to sea with them to pick up the team.
Su Yunhai was not surprised.
This is, after all, a matter concerning the Xie family, and someone from the Xie family must be responsible for it.
Su Yunhai gave a stern warning, fearing the two might act recklessly: "Alright, we understand. You two must be careful. We'll make arrangements when we arrive."
Shen Shuli gave her father a military salute: "Understood, sir!"
"Then I'll go and move the medium-sized ship from the dock to outside the fog zone."
It's currently cold wave season, and the sea is noticeably more turbulent and dangerous than usual.
If medium-sized ships were to attempt to pass through the restricted sea area, it is estimated that many ships would suffer damage.
They have a limited number of ships and are unwilling to let any of them have problems.
As for how to explain to the captain and crew that the medium-sized ship suddenly appeared outside the fog zone from the dock without any crew...
This is something Su Yunhai will have to handle; Shen Shuli doesn't need to worry about it.
After Mu Wanjun brought Shen Shuli to the dock in a helicopter, they landed on a large ship.
Shen Shuli used the seawater to store all the medium-sized ships around her into her spatial storage.
Then, they were transported by helicopter to the outside of the foggy area and placed in calm waters to prevent the boat from being blown around.
The two waited on a random boat for Su Yunhai and Xiao Yuxuan to arrive with seven large ships and two warships to meet them.
Then the captain and crew were assigned to all the ships.
So far.
The sudden increase in the number of ships has led to a severe shortage of crew members and captains.
Free time.
Captain Wang Yongzhu and Li Dahai trained many first mates, all of whom have now graduated.
There aren't enough crew members either.
The only option was to find a group of strong, capable swimmers on the island to serve as crew members.
When they are not on the ship, they are sent back to the base to help with the work.
To date, only three large ships have crew configurations that allow for three shifts.
These were two warships and the eighth large ship.
The remaining ships are not yet at full capacity.
Its speed is much slower than those three ships.
As soon as the large fleet of ships approached, Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun immediately took off in their helicopter.
Due to the wind and waves, the helicopter's speed was somewhat limited.
Two hours later.
The two successfully arrived over Lihai City.
Visible to the naked eye.
The military defenses of Lihai City are very tight.
Within a radius of ten miles outside the city, there was a military outpost every ten miles to maintain order.
Except for Lihai City.
To the west of Lihai City are Yunhai City and Lianhai City, and to the north of west is Zezhou Prefecture.
Huaihai City to the east, Ronghai City, and Hehai City to the northeast.
Zezhou Prefecture, located slightly west of due north, and Xiangzhou Prefecture, located slightly east of due north.
It can be said.
These eight prefectures completely surrounded Lihai City.
Furthermore, each prefecture city had 30,000 soldiers guarding and patrolling the surrounding area.
Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun surveyed the troop strength in these areas.
They discovered that these soldiers numbered nearly half a million!
Enough to be visible.
The new emperor, Xiao Yuqiang, recruited many young men from the surrounding prefectures into the army.
That's why his army is so large!
Mu Wanjun felt very heavy-hearted: "No wonder Xie Chengyuan was anxious. Lihai City is so heavily guarded that his people have no chance to get close to it."
“Yes, such a large army could easily be discovered by Xiao Yuqiang’s men if they move around without permission, and their identities could be exposed.” Shen Shuli’s mood was equally heavy.
The Zhenbei Army was extremely famous.
If Xiao Yuqiang were to discover the whereabouts of the Zhenbei Army, given the way he once plotted to harm them, he would undoubtedly go to great lengths to eliminate them all.
otherwise.
His ascension to the throne was illegitimate from the start.
If news were to break again that he had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and that he had allowed the Northern Barbarian army to enter Hanshan Pass, it would be disastrous.
It is estimated that there are still righteous soldiers in his army who harbor disloyal intentions.
Following such a ruthless and unscrupulous new emperor, they also have to consider their own fate.
If the Zhenbei Army falls into the hands of the new emperor, it will surely reignite the long-standing feud between the two sides, leading to a fight to the death.
anyway.
None of the Zhenbei Army soldiers met a good end.
Shen Shuli suddenly realized something and excitedly asked Mu Wanjun, "Wanjun! Have you discovered the problem?"
Mu Wanjun, puzzled by her best friend's sudden agitation, quickly asked, "What's wrong? What did you discover?"
“We have clearly taken all of Xiao Yuqiang’s supplies, leaving only a few cartloads of gold and silver jewelry at most.”
"How has he been supporting such a huge army all this time?!" Shen Shuli had a bad feeling.
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanjun realized that something was indeed wrong!
"That's right, even if he controls the entire southeast region, he couldn't possibly mobilize so much food and clothing in such a short time!"
"Fuck!"
"I was wondering why something felt off!"
"It's only now that I realize why these soldiers are all wearing modern cotton-padded clothes!"
The more Mu Wanjun thought about it, the more her scalp tingled.
"Oh my god, could he also be a time traveler? And one with some kind of cheat ability?!"
Shen Shuli's face was pale at this moment, and various guesses flashed through her mind.
However, it is impossible to determine which one Xiao Yuqiang is.
Is he a transmigrator, a time traveler, or does he have a cheat ability like having a space, or an even more outrageous system?
The main thing is.
Are they friends or enemies?
“In any case, we have to figure this out before we can take any action,” Shen Shuli said stiffly.
Mu Wanjun finally realized that things were getting tricky.
This was the first time I had encountered such a tricky problem since transmigrating into the book.
They must go into the city to investigate thoroughly, otherwise they will be at a great disadvantage.
To avoid triggering Lihai City's tight defenses, Shen Shuli decided to enter the city alone under the cover of night.
Mu Wanjun piloted the helicopter and lowered the ladder to land.
The helicopter's rope ladder is only fifty meters long.
If the helicopter is at low altitude, the loud rumbling of its propellers will definitely attract the attention of patrolling soldiers on the street.
Shen Shuli quickly used the ropes in the space to extend the rope ladder to three hundred meters.
Both of her helicopters are military-grade and have undergone noise reduction treatment.
But even at night, it will definitely be heard within 200 meters of the ground.
In case.
Shen Shuli could only increase the length of the rope ladder to 300 meters.
Her light-footed skill allows her to leap about ten meters into the air in a short period of time.
