Chapter 242 The White Pig Becomes a Spirit
How to escape from the encirclement of 200,000 enemy troops?
There is no standard answer to this question.
After all, there have not been many such tragic and unlucky people throughout history.
There are no civilians left in Guying City today. The city is filled with Black Scale Cavalry in three layers inside and outside.
Fifty thousand cavalrymen remained in camp with their horses, and another hundred and fifty thousand settled in the city.
The houses became large rooms for the soldiers to sleep in, the shops became public kitchens for meals, and many restaurant halls were covered with bunk beds and filled with people sleeping there, as black as a swarm of rats.
Knowing that Yun Chen must still be in the city, Yan Shijiu and Wan Chen, who were in the death row, disappeared, and they must have been rescued by Yun Chen.
Jiao Zuotai ordered the Black Scale Cavalry to work in eight shifts every day, searching the city repeatedly day and night.
Yun Chen and the other two hid from place to place, moving from the brothel to the cellar, and from the cellar to the chicken coop and the toilet... They hid in every place they could.
It would be extremely difficult to escape from such a tightly guarded area under the eyes of 150,000 people.
Yun Chen and the other two got together and thought hard for a long time, but they couldn't think of a solution.
Wan Chen said, "How about we lure the tiger away from the mountain? I'll deliberately reveal my tracks to attract the Black Scale Cavalry to pursue me, while the master and General Yun quickly retreat in the opposite direction."
Yun Chen patted Wan Chen on the shoulder and said, "Wan Chen, I admire your heroic spirit, but 150,000 people are not easy to mobilize. If you shout 'dinner', the food will go bad and everyone won't show up. You think you can attract all the Black Scale Cavalry in the city to find you and chase you by yourself? How attractive would that be?"
Yan Shijiu continued, "Then she has to be at least prettier than the most beautiful courtesan in the world—and she has to be naked."
Thinking of the torture Yan Shijiu had endured for him, Yun Chen resisted the urge to hit him on the head and said:
"I see you're not in a hurry at all. It's only been a day, and the inspections are already so strict. I'm afraid we won't be able to get away with it for a few days. We'll be discovered soon. Find a solution quickly!"
Yan Shijiu made a solemn expression. "Xiao Yunyun's words make sense. How about we pretend to surrender? First join the Black Scale Cavalry, and then turn against them?"
Yun Chen was almost laughing out of anger. "Do you think Jiao Zuotai is stupid? Do you think people will believe you if you say you'll surrender? Do you believe that if the three of us just go to that station, the door of the death row will open warmly to us and say 'Hello, welcome back'?"
"Why don't we just go and kill Jiao Zuotai? If we kill him, the Black Scale Cavalry will be in chaos, and we can take advantage of the chaos to escape. What do you think?" Yan Shijiu proposed again.
"How are we going to kill them? Should we walk or fly over? Do you think 150,000 people can't see us? Yan Shijiu, I think your title of General of Dawn is really unworthy." Yun Chen suppressed the itch in his palms, "You didn't buy your position, did you?"
Yan Shijiu deliberately lowered his voice: "Shh—keep your voice down, I bought it for 80,000 taels!"
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Yun Chen punched Yan Shijiu hard, and the latter finally felt relieved.
However, Yan Shijiu's words gave Yun Chen some inspiration.
The search of 150,000 people in Guying City was indeed thorough, but it also had a big drawback, which was that most colleagues did not know each other.
As a major general of the Lion Army, Yun Chen couldn't even recognize all of his own soldiers, let alone 150,000 of them.
She thought about it and thought maybe she could use this loophole to escape.
After discussing with Yan Shijiu and Wan Chen for a while, the three of them decided on a risky plan.
Two hours later, it was completely dark.
A four-man patrol team of the Black Scale Cavalry completed the night roll call as usual and began to search a designated pigpen.
Four men held two torches and searched the pigpen inside and out, poking at all the places where people could hide with knives before giving up.
When they checked the pigpen shed, they saw that there were only a few dirty pigs left inside, and the yard was full of stinking manure. The four of them were reluctant to go in. They just stuck the torch through the fence, thinking that they would just take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two torches were extended, a gust of wind came and suddenly extinguished the torches.
Ghost Blows Out the Light?
Ugh, who blew the torch?
At the moment the torch went out, the four people saw three "white pigs" that had become spirits jump up and rush straight towards them.
Three of the four men felt a chill and heat on their necks before they could react, and immediately went to see the King of Hell.
The fourth person had time to react, but as soon as he opened his mouth to shout, his mouth was filled with a lump of dry pig manure, and he was choked and couldn't make any sound.
Feeling several hands holding him down, the fourth person struggled desperately, trying to spit out the pig manure in his mouth, but he heard two voices talking in low voices next to his ears, as if they were... quarreling?
"Don't grab it! Give this to me!"
"I'll do it! I'm very good with the knife!"
"Be careful! Don't get blood on yourself! It's hard to wash off!"
"Let me do it!"
How about I do it myself? Can I bite my tongue and commit suicide? As soon as the fourth person finished saying this in his heart, he was killed by Yan Shijiu with a knife.
Yun Chen and the other two quickly took off their clothes stained with pig feces and blood, put on the armor and helmets of the Black Scale Cavalry, and relit the torches.
Looking at the four corpses on the ground, the three of them looked at each other.
In a short while, the four black-scaled cavalrymen all turned into black fish-mixed cavalrymen and became the pigs' midnight snack.
I’m afraid the Black Scale Cavalry themselves would never have thought that one day they would become pig food.
Wan Chen could handle two corpses by himself in the same amount of time, and his technique was extremely neat. Yun Chen couldn't help but praise him:
"Wan Chen, you are so skilled!"
Yun Chen's mind was full of thoughts about how to quickly blend into the Black Scale Cavalry in the city. All her nerves were tense about "escaping" and she did not notice that after she finished speaking, Wan Chen was obviously silent for a moment.
"Wan Chen, General Yun is praising you!" Yan Shijiu said with a smile.
In the dim light, Wan Chen said, "Thank you for the compliment, General Yun. This is my duty as a secret guard."
After the three men finished disguising themselves and packing up, they walked out in a swagger and began to move among the heavy Black Scale Cavalry, passing by countless Black Scale Cavalry shoulder to shoulder and face to face.
No one paid them any special attention. Even when they passed each other face to face, the other party would just nod as a greeting.
Yun Chen and the other two also nodded, but their hearts were pounding and their palms and backs were covered in cold sweat.
Soon, Yun Chen discovered something was wrong.
In order to divide the troops into small groups for flexibility and maneuverability, the Black Scale Cavalry organized their men into groups, with each patrol team consisting of at least four and at most eight people, making it easier to command.
But there were only three of Yunchen's group, one less.
If this continues, it will definitely attract attention.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Yun Chen felt that many eyes were looking at them.
Pretending to cough, Yun Chen moved closer to Yan Shijiu and said in a low and quick voice:
"Oh no! We're one short!"
Yan Shijiu remained calm, touching his nose to cover up his confusion, and replied quickly and in a low voice:
"Oh no! One more!"
Yun Chen was so angry that he wanted to curse. He didn't expect that in such an emergency, Yan Shijiu still had the mind to make jokes!
At this time, Wan Chen, who was walking in front, also called out in a low voice:
"One more! One more!"
