Chapter 446: Dressing up as a Guardian
446
The county magistrate and his men were all very excited after hearing the goddess' words. "Goddess, please speak. The servants are listening."
The third elder continued, "They usually eat very well. We try to save the delicious food for them."
Tang Yue nodded after listening, then looked up at the sky and said, "I will perform a ritual tomorrow. Please send all the sick women and children here."
The county magistrate was even happier when he heard this. This was the goddess's intention. But why not today? However, the county magistrate did not dare to ask. Tang Yue still explained, "There are several locations that need the help of my guardian. Tomorrow, my guardian will go out and find my other two guardians to come over."
"Okay, okay, it's getting late. Please welcome the goddess back to your room to rest."
The others followed suit and shouted excitedly.
Tang Yue returned to the room prepared for her. The county magistrate and others saw her to the door but did not follow her in. It was too late now. Tang Yue checked the clock in her space and it was already past ten in the evening.
After the county magistrate and the others left, Tang Yue's consciousness was released. Seeing that no one was watching, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep. This was her first time pretending to be a goddess, and the whole day was quite tiring.
However, Tang Yue was thinking about one question. Should she wait until the confirmation is completed here and then continue searching with Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing, or should she make use of the surrounding resources?
After all, the people here are all natives, and they must know a lot of places and people. No matter how stealthily the battalion commander and his men travel, it is impossible that they won't meet anyone, right?
With the help of the people here, she could at least quickly eliminate many areas. In addition, if she made a bigger noise here, would the battalion commander and her father think of her?
After sleeping for four hours, Tang Yue immediately left the county town in stealth. The sight of yellow paper plastered all over the city walls during the day was quite frightening, but at night, with everything pitch black, the intimidating effect was lost.
Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing didn't dare to sleep in the middle of the night. When Tang Yue came over, it happened to be when Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing changed shifts. The two didn't hear a sound, and Tang Yue was already standing in front of them.
"who?"
"who?"
Before they could even reach for their guns, they had already seen the man in front of them. Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately looked around with vigilance. "Captain, why are you back?"
Tang Yue waved her hand and said, "You two sit down. I have something to tell you."
Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing immediately sat opposite Tang Yue. Tang Yue had run all the way back and had agreed not to use spiritual power. She would only use it occasionally when she needed it, and usually treated herself as an ordinary person.
After sitting down, she stared at the two of them. Zhang Dabing and Sun Jinan had never been stared at like this by the company commander before. After being stared at for a long time, they felt very uncomfortable.
Zhang Dabing was the first to lose his temper. "Captain, if you have anything to say, just say it. I'm not used to being looked at like that."
Sun Jinan immediately nodded in agreement. Tang Yue curled her lips and smiled. She had just been observing the two men's temperaments, and this look was a bit shocking. They were about the same height, both close to 180cm, but Sun Jinan looked thinner. He looked quite sunny.
Zhang Dabing always looked like a tough guy. Tang Yue thought about the looks she had imagined for them, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
Zhang Dabing and Sun Jinan instinctively wanted to retreat. They hadn't been with the company commander for long, but he rarely smiled that strange smile. What did this mean? Why did they feel like they were being watched?
Tang Yue stood up and said, "Let's go. My plan to go to the market tomorrow has changed, so I can only look for the things I mentioned tonight."
The two were very obedient. They immediately stood up, put out the fire and buried it, then followed Tang Yue towards the market.
It has to be said that every country has its own unique characteristics. The bold colors and patterns used in clothing in Bianyue are simply incomparable to those in China. Not to mention Japan and Russia.
Tang Yue packed up a lot of supplies in her space, but there were still a lot of fabrics and other things. However, it was really hard to find fabrics of the Bian Yue Kingdom style.
The group reached the market in the dark. The stalls that had been set up during the day were all closed, but many of them were backed by low huts, and many people lived along the street. The group made no noise.
Fortunately, consciousness was only controlled by mental power and could be restored. Tang Yue used her consciousness to scan the area and saw several packages filled with clothes in a shed in the middle of the street.
No matter how good Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing's night vision was, they couldn't tell the colors of the fabric. Tang Yue asked them to wait while she quietly went over and picked out several large pieces of floral fabric and clothing. Before leaving, she placed 30 kilograms of rice next to the package.
Well, this should be considered an equal exchange.
The group left quietly once again. Back at the camp, after the firelight was lit, Sun Jinan and the others stared at the floral cloth in Tang Yue's hands in silence. This was too...
Tang Yue raised her chin. "What's wrong? Put it on quickly. I'll see if there's anything else I need."
Sun Jinan said bitterly, "Captain, do you really want to wear it? This is too inappropriate."
Tang Yue didn't say anything, just stared at Sun Jinan with her big round eyes.
Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing were so annoyed by the look on their faces that they could only go inside the tent to change clothes. After a while, two men dressed in red and green floral clothes came out, with colorful cloths draped over their shoulders.
Tang Yue tried hard not to burst out laughing. It was really funny. Even though she had imagined this scene in her mind, she couldn't help it when she actually saw it.
Zhang Dabing's face flushed red. "Captain, is this necessary?"
Tang Yue rolled her eyes. "I am a goddess from heaven, how can the guardians around me be dressed shabbily?"
"Protector?" Sun Jinan didn't expect the company commander to really become a goddess in the eyes of those people. "Company commander, the soldiers and I don't know any magic."
This was also a question Tang Yue had to ponder. "I heard that you all had developed a sense of Qi. Can you now draw Qi into your bodies?"
Both of them nodded, and Sun Jinan continued, "Okay. But Captain, I absorb very slowly every day, and I can only absorb a few light balls a day. Now I just feel that my body is more flexible than before, and my five senses are sharper. But, I can't do anything else."
Zhang Dabing stood aside and nodded frantically. "No, you don't need to do anything to show your spiritual power."
Zhang Dabing interrupted, "Captain, do you want us to follow you into the city? But we don't understand the Bian Yue language, how can we communicate with those people?"
Tang Yue waved her hand. "No need to talk to them. Just follow my instructions. I'll tell them you two can't talk."
Zhang Dabing was still worried. "Captain, there are only three of us now. If we all go to the city, there will be no one watching outside. We won't be able to pass on any news."
Tang Yue felt that this was a problem. "Which camp is closest to here?"
"It's Captain Lu Yelu, the second company commander of the second battalion."
Zhang Dabing continued, "Oh, Captain, Captain Lu sent us a message this evening. There are only about 20 of them left in his company. They were originally going to be transferred, but when the headquarters heard we were nearby, they told Captain Lu and the others to stay here and cooperate with you at any time."
Tang Yue's eyes lit up. She felt that this was a good decision from the headquarters. "By the way, did you know there's a US military base nearby?"
The two nodded. They spent the day scouting the entire Shanhe County. Tang Yue thought for a moment, "This county chief seems to trust my credentials. He said there are about 2,500 young and strong men in the county. He wanted them to help me find the battalion commander and my father. I think this is a good idea."
Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing swallowed hard. How on earth could the company commander have tricked them? 2,500 people, all helping him. Then, the area they could radiate would be enormous.
"I've already shown them photos of the battalion commander and his men. I told them that the battalion commander and my father were my two guardians, who came here early to protect peace. Now they're missing. That's why I came down to look for them."
Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing looked at each other and thought, it seems that the company commander has four protectors.
"Where are Captain Lu and his men camped?"
"It should be 60 miles from here." Tang Yue frowned. This distance is not close.
"Send them a message and ask them to camp nearby. This place has good concealment and is close to the county town, making it more convenient to provide support."
They both nodded.
Tang Yue stood up and said, "Dress like this tomorrow. You two will wait for me by the river early tomorrow morning. I will take you two into the city then."
"Captain, what are our plans for tomorrow in the city?"
