Chapter 481 Xiaobai is injured
The bombs were stored on the mountain and were easy to retrieve.
Recently, the Mo brothers have been working hard to speed up the production. Although they have produced several thousand of them, this thing is too precious in their eyes. When the soldiers learn it, they cannot use it as casually as a repeating crossbow.
Despite this, Mo Jiuye still decided to take out fifty bombs for everyone to learn from.
The bomb is easier to use. Just aim at the target, light the fuse and throw it out.
The soldiers will learn this operation at a glance.
The training time in the mountains was short, and six days passed in the blink of an eye.
Mo Jiuye also explained the specific situation to the soldiers and asked them to ambush at a location he had selected in advance outside Yuncheng.
That night, Mo Jiuye personally arranged to leave a hundred soldiers at home, led by his third brother, and all of them hid around the Mo family in case of emergency.
The other brothers of the Mohist family took everyone to the outskirts of Yuncheng to ambush.
The ambush location was chosen by several brothers of the Mo family. It was the only passage from the capital to Yuncheng.
The mountains on both sides of the passage are rolling, which is very suitable for hiding. Not only that, the view of the passage is also very good.
The Mo brothers were divided into several positions and hid their men in the dark. It was estimated that the Queen's men would arrive here in three days at most.
When Mo Jiuye came out, he specially brought a mini telescope from his wife's space.
In addition, he also brought Xiaobai with him.
Because he found that Xiaobai could really understand what he said, at this time, Xiaobai could definitely be of great use.
After the ambush, Mo Jiuye called Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai, fly towards the capital and stay within a hundred miles. If you encounter anyone suspicious, come back and inform me immediately."
"Gurgle..." Xiaobai flapped his wings a few times to show that he understood, then flew high and headed towards the capital.
After three days of ambush, no suspicious people were found, and Xiaobai did not bring back any news.
The second brother was a little restless. He called his brothers together and said in a deep voice, "It's already been a day since we estimated the time. Waiting like this is not a solution."
"What do you want?" asked the eldest brother.
"I plan to inquire in the direction of the capital." The second brother looked at Mo Jiuye while speaking.
"Ninth brother, I'm not saying this to you, but you're trusting a bird too much. It might be intelligent, and it might be fine for delivering a message, but are you so confident in it for something as important as getting news?
What if Xiaobai doesn't understand these things and just flies out to play for a few days? We'll be stuck here without any advance notice of the enemy's arrival. If they suddenly show up and kill us by surprise, it would be more trouble than it's worth."
Although the second brother is usually a bit reckless, the brothers all think that what he said today is reasonable and well-founded.
It doesn't seem reliable to entrust the task of gathering information to a bird.
At this time, Mo Jiuye was also a little unsure. He knew that Xiaobai was spiritual, but this little thing had been gone for three days and there was no news at all.
Could it be that it encountered some danger on the way and was unable to send the message back?
He never distrusted Xiaobai, he was just worried that something might happen to it.
"In that case, I'll go and investigate myself."
"No, we still need you, my ninth brother, to stay here and take charge of the situation. I have the best lightness skills among our brothers, so I'm the one who should be in charge of gathering information." Mo Chuhan stood up with his chest puffed out.
Mo Jiuye had no intention of forcing him. Among the nine brothers, it was indeed the Eighth Brother who had the best lightness skills and was the most suitable for gathering information.
"In that case, I'll trouble you to make the trip. Similarly, you only need to check the situation within a hundred miles. Regardless of whether you get any information, you must return before dark."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
As soon as Mo Chuhan turned around, Mo Jiuye sensed a familiar voice.
He looked up at the sky and saw Xiaobai.
However, Xiaobai's flying speed was much slower than before, as if he had lost his strength.
Just as Mo Jiuye was puzzled, Xiaobai lost his balance and his small body began to fall from mid-air.
Mo Jiuye instantly took a deep breath and jumped up, catching Xiaobai steadily before it hit the ground.
"Ninth brother, is Xiaobai injured?" Mo Chuhan didn't leave at this moment, and his brothers came over to check the situation.
Mo Jiuye held Xiaobai in his hands and felt his palms were wet.
At this moment, Xiaobai looked extremely weak, but the little guy still tried hard to make sounds and pointed his head towards the capital.
Of course Mo Jiuye could understand what his pet wanted to express.
Xiaobai was telling him that he had discovered a clue.
In other words, a suspicious person appears.
"Xiaobai has already found the target, and it's very obedient. I told it to search within a hundred miles, and it certainly won't fly beyond that range.
So I can be sure that those people are less than a hundred miles away from us."
While Mo Jiuye was telling his brothers the news that Xiaobai brought back, he turned its body over to check it.
Sure enough, there was a wound on Xiaobai's abdomen close to his palm, and the blood had dyed its snow-white feathers red.
In order to prevent injuries, He Zhiran prepared a lot of medicine for them.
Mo Jiuye pinched Xiaobai's body lightly, but Xiaobai did not show any pain.
He was already certain that Xiaobai only had one wound on his abdomen.
And judging from the appearance of the wound, it looked like a scratch. He could infer that Xiaobai had lost his direction in order to avoid danger and his body had slipped onto some hard object.
The wound bled too much, which made it so weak.
Although he and Xiaobai have established a deep friendship, he cannot communicate with Xiaobai like he does with humans, and cannot ask for the details of its injuries.
He took out an iodine cotton ball and disinfected Xiaobai's wound, then sprinkled anti-inflammatory powder on it and wrapped the wound with a bandage.
Xiaobai was still conscious at this moment. Mo Jiuye fed it some water and food, and then said to Mo Chuhan solemnly:
"Myna, since Xiaobai has brought accurate information, we also need to find out the specific situation, so you still have to go."
While speaking, Mo Jiuye looked at the sky.
"It's the end of the afternoon. If my guess is correct, there are a lot of people walking on the official road. A group like them would be too conspicuous. They must be hiding somewhere and waiting to act after dark.
So when you go out to investigate this time, just pretend to be a civilian on the road; this way you won't arouse suspicion."
Having said that, Mo Jiuye turned around and took out a fake beard from the package of medicine he had just taken for Xiaobai and put it on Mo Chuhan's face.
Then he imitated the way He Zhiran helped him dress up before and drew the starling's eyebrows thicker.
Dressed like this, even his own brothers would hardly recognize him unless he looked carefully.
