Chapter 177 General, You Are So Awesome

In the evening, several people met at the agreed time and place.

If their group of more than ten people stayed in a hotel, it would definitely arouse suspicion, so they simply climbed over the wall and entered the dilapidated Zhang Mansion.

It was quiet inside, with weeds growing everywhere and the occasional strange bird calls.

The soldiers swallowed and stuck close to Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning: “…”

She was speechless and pulled out the soldier who was closest to her.

"Man, man, you're still a soldier, what are you afraid of? Will you dare to kill the enemy in the future like this?"

Chu Wu glanced around and whispered, "General, why don't we go out? It feels so eerie here..."

Although the other people also thought so in their hearts, they did not show it, unlike Chu Wu who was so embarrassing.

Xiao Ning said, "It's so cold. If you don't find a shelter, you'll freeze to death in the middle of the night. What are you trying to explore?"

"Don't be too brave. Even if some evil thing comes out, just fight it and it will be over."

"It's just death anyway, so why be afraid?"

"When we came out to fight, weren't we prepared to make sacrifices? Since we're all prepared, why are you still being so pretentious?"

Several people: "..."

If you think about it carefully, that's true.

Xiao Ning strode forward and several people hurriedly followed.

I walked all the way over, found a room that looked intact, pushed the door open and walked in.

"ah……"

Chu Wu shouted subconsciously, but his companion covered his mouth.

There was a dried corpse hanging in the room, and the embroidered tips of its shoes were floating in the air when the wind blew.

The horror effect is maximized.

Xiao Ning clasped his hands together and bowed to the floating corpse. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to bother you. Please forgive me."

After saying that, they turned around and walked out the door. This time, the few of them stuck closer to Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning didn't say anything else. She just led a few people forward for a while. She reached out and pushed open another door.

Chu Wu was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes. After a moment, he quietly opened his left eye a crack, but saw that several people had already gone in. He hurriedly followed them in.

This house is just full of cobwebs and a lot of dust, but there is nothing scary there.

They simply cleaned up the house, lit candles, sat down and exchanged information with each other.

By integrating all the information together, we can roughly estimate the strength and deployment of the rebels in Yunzhou City.

While listening to them talking, Xiao Ning found a dead branch and squatted on the ground to write and draw.

After they finished chatting, they saw Xiao Ning draw a simple city defense map on the ground. Chu Wu was surprised: "General, you are so amazing!"

Several people gathered around to look at the picture drawn on the ground, then looked up at Xiao Ning with even more admiration in their eyes.

Xiao Ning: "...Don't look at me with such stupid eyes, watch carefully and learn well. If I don't follow you in the future, you will have to learn how to do these things too."

"yes!"

Several people spoke in loud voices.

Xiao Ning raised his hand and slapped the man with the loudest voice on the head, "...Speak more quietly, afraid that you won't attract the rebels, right!"

Several people lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Zhang Zhai, who had the loudest voice, hushed, "I'm sorry, General. I was too excited..."

Xiao Ning didn't really care, and waved his hand and said: "Alright, we've been tired all day, let's just make do and rest."

As the person with the highest status, Xiao Ning naturally occupied the only bed in the room.

Looking at a dozen grown men who had spread out tattered bedding on the ground and huddled together to sleep, Xiao Ning hesitated and said, "Why don't you go out and find some empty houses to live in?"

More than a dozen grown men were shaking their heads like rattles.

Chu Wu said, "We like to sleep next to each other. It's warm. Besides, don't we have to guard the general and protect him?"

Xiao Ning: “…”

Protect her? No need!

They were all as timid as mice, yet they still protected her...

Suddenly, an idea struck Xiao Ning, and he couldn't help but laugh. "Are you here to protect me, or are you just cowards? I think everyone has made up their minds."

Everyone: “…”

No, why is the general so awesome?

That scene just now...

They simply dared not close their eyes, as the moment they did, they would see the fluttering azure skirt and embroidered shoes...

They didn't even dare to look up.

They couldn't imagine how horrible it must have been to see a corpse hanging for more than three months.

Fortunately, the general didn't act rashly and let them dig a hole to bury her...

The group of grown men hugged each other, feeling each other's warm body temperature, and only then were they able to ignore the horrific scene and force themselves to fall asleep.

Xiao Ning fell into deep thought as he looked at the big men who were hugging each other tightly.

Is it because she is not a good leader that the soldiers she leads are all crooked?

Just sleep well, why are you holding me so tight?

Xiao Ning couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he turned over and fell asleep facing the wall.

The next morning, Chu Wu was the first to wake up. He sat up with his eyes squinted and looked at the bed, but it was empty.

"The general is missing!"

He woke up the others.

A group of men rushed out in a panic, only to see Xiao Ning burying something in the yard with a shovel.

They breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Xiao Ning.

"General, what are you doing here so early in the morning..."

Zhang Zhai asked as he walked closer and glanced into the pit. Wasn't that the female corpse he saw last night? The dried corpse's facial features and body were intact, but it looked particularly creepy.

Fortunately, it's daytime now...

Chu Wu was so scared that he took a few steps back, his face pale.

"General, how come..."

He didn't finish his words, but Xiao Ning knew what he wanted to ask and replied, "We bothered her last night, so today we'll repay her kindness and let her rest in peace."

Several people were silent for a moment, and someone came forward to help Xiao Ning bury the soil.

After packing up, several people took out the dry food they brought with them, ate a few bites, and then followed Xiao Ning's instructions to continue going outside to inquire about information and familiarize themselves with the routes.

Xiao Ning went to the government office to see what was going on.

After all, the rebels are no better than the regular army. They have loose discipline and lax guards.

Xiao Ning easily slipped into the inner courtyard of the government office.

Avoiding the guards, he strolled around the courtyard and came to the front yard of the government office. A group of rebels in official uniforms were sitting in the hall, with their hats crooked and their clothes tilted, looking out of place.

"Hahahaha, big brother, if we brothers can seize the throne, you must make me a prince!"

"Of course! All of our brothers will be crowned kings and princes!"

“Hahahahahaha…”

Xiao Ning: “…”

She doesn't even dare to be so confident.

Xiao Ning raised her hand and took a look. There were five short arrows in her sleeve crossbow, and there were only seven people in the main hall. She felt that she could take their lives right now.

But after thinking about it, I decided to figure out the route first, pass the letter to Li Yuan, and then make plans.

Back at the Zhang Mansion, they exchanged the intelligence they had gathered, and Xiao Ning continued to supplement the defense map.

Then he was shocked to find that there were as many as 30,000 rebels in Yunzhou City.

This is only the part they can explore. What about the part they cannot explore?
