General Essence Sticky Essence

He Yun managed to escape to the main ship, and the fleet retreated together, and it took a night to return to the sea area where the two countries meet.

The battle the night before was completely like an immature temptation. It took less than an hour from the start to the retreat, and the casualties on both sides were very few.

The Red Armored Army didn't rush to chase after them, and it seems that Rizhao is not planning to take any action at present.

He Yun didn't understand Rizhao's army's plan, but he knew in his heart that if Rizhao dared to come this time, he must be fully prepared.It is almost certain that these preparations include the exchange of arms with the Great Wei.

The Wei army had a huge number of troops. If the imperial court’s annual expenditure on raising troops and making weapons was used to build cities, it would have been unknown how many Jinyang cities could be built.

Rizhao's national strength is strong, and its army is naturally strong, but the difference is that Rizhao's country is small and has few people, so their army is more sophisticated than numerous.Although Rizhao's resources are exhausted, the armor and equipment used are all made of high-quality materials and craftsmanship, and it pays special attention to the country's military equipment.

The problem lies in the depletion of resources. Although Rizhao has talented craftsmen, there is a shortage of raw materials, and the materials imported from the Great Wei in the past few decades are also innumerable.

But these are normal trade exchanges, all on the bright side, and they are also recorded in the trade records of the Great Wei Dynasty.If you are afraid, the amount of arms traded behind the scenes is beyond control, so it is difficult to predict Rizhao's arms and equipment.

He Yun waited for a whole day before sneaking into the warehouse. The night was dark and there was no one in the warehouse.Wei Wei told him last time that the place where their hostages were detained was in the inconspicuous little room at the back of the warehouse.

Rizhao's kidnapping of Wei's guards in an attempt to stir up trouble is plausible, but the blame can only be blamed on what He Yun and a group of soldiers heard when they returned to the fleet in a small boat last night.

Some of the soldiers said: "The hostages of the Wei State are also strange. Our people have been tortured a little bit, but how did the arm of the red armored soldier be broken? Do you know?"

Someone replied: "It's just that whoever made the move was a bit harsh and chopped him off. We were almost detained. Look at that lieutenant general of Wei's face turned green. It's frightening to death!"

"Shh! I think that half of the arm has been thrown into the sea to feed the fish. What's the point of fighting with the arm at this time? There's going to be a war soon. Think about how to survive, you guys!"

As soon as the words fell, the rain of arrows along the coast began to rush towards the sea, the conversation was interrupted by the sudden outbreak of war, the man driving the boat began to flee forward like crazy, He Yun was shaken and almost spat out , but the thoughts are still smooth.

No matter how the Chi Jia's arm was broken and where the broken arm was, this was a clue.Maybe something can really be found in the small room at the back of the main ship's warehouse.

There was an inconspicuous small lock hanging on the iron door, which He Yun had never seen before. He observed the lock body of the small lock carefully with the light of the fire fold, and unconsciously let out a sound of "" Huh?".

There is no keyhole on it, and it is not opened by a key. There are several wooden strips inserted into the lock body, which seem to be detachable mechanisms.

He Yun had seen quite a few traps in the books recording weapons and armor since he was a child, and he knew that this kind of trap was just a matter of dismantling one box and filling the other. It may not be able to stump him.

He re-ignited a torch, and unleashed the lock with patience.

It took about a stick of incense to pass, and the footsteps of the patrol soldiers outside kept coming and going, without stepping into the cabin.

This lock doesn't look difficult, but it's just a few more procedures added on the basis of the Luban lock, but it's really not easy to unlock.

In such a cold winter day, a thin layer of sweat oozes from He Yun's forehead. He has a quick temper and is not suitable for this kind of slow work, but gradually the irritability in his heart rises.

At this moment, the torch went out again.He Yun rolled his big white eyes in the dark, resignedly took out the third fire pocket and lit it, heaved a sigh of relief, and began to slow down his movements.

The Central Plains mechanism pays attention to the heaven, earth, circle, universe and gossip. Rizhao's mechanism skills flowed from the Central Plains a hundred years ago, and generally there will not be much difference.

Qian Sanlian, Kun Liuduan, Qian resides in the south, the number is one, Kun resides in the north, the number is eight, and the combination of Qian and Kun makes nine, that is to say, south one north eight.Draw one for the positive number in the south direction, and two for the countdown in the north direction. With a click, a wooden stick popped out on each side.He Yun let out a breath, feeling a lot more comfortable in his heart.

Li lived in the east, the number was three, Kan lived in the west, the number was six, and together they were nine.For the same reason, the wooden strips on the east and west sides also popped out.The southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest are four wooden sticks inserted obliquely. He Yun finally cleared his mind and was about to start, when he suddenly saw a small eye through the vacated square. Straightened up.

That's a keyhole.

Damn me!After solving the mechanism for a long time, the result is still to use the key, so why design the mechanism!Something is wrong!He Yun wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling extremely upset.

At this moment, a muffled bang came into the warehouse.A cotton curtain is hung on the door of the cabin, and there is a horizontal wooden stick underneath. The sound of the wooden stick hitting the door frame is not loud, and it can’t even be heard outside the cabin due to the sea breeze, but in the empty warehouse Here, the sound is very obvious.

Fortunately, the lock hadn't been removed yet, so He Yun quickly judged the time it would take for the other party to reach the warehouse, calmly inserted the wooden strip in his hand back intact, blew out the fire, and hid in the darkness.

Sure enough, a lieutenant general in black came in with two captains in purple.They were holding torches, and the warehouse was immediately brightly illuminated. He Yun hid behind a pile of firewood, only showing a pair of eyes to observe the three people.

They repeatedly unlocked the lock that He Yun couldn't unlock just now, pushed open the small door and went in.The outside suddenly became pitch black again, He Yun quietly came out from behind the firewood pile, held his breath and squatted by the small door.

A lieutenant general and two captains actually came. Not only is there a problem, but it is also a big problem.

There was nothing in that small room except a pile of straw, only a few bloodstains scattered on the straw pile in twos and threes, one of which was the most dense and shocking, it should be left by the soldier who broke his arm .

The lieutenant general in black walked straight there, stared at it for a while, and waved to the two captains behind him.The captain stepped forward with a torch in his hand, and stood behind the lieutenant general to illuminate him.

The lieutenant then squatted down and pushed aside the pile of straw.He Yun held his breath, looking forward to what they would find.

There was nothing under the straw pile, the deputy general turned over all the straw, but there was still nothing.At this time, one of the captains said: "Lieutenant General, take a step back."

The lieutenant showed a puzzled expression, but did as he did.Only now did He Yun notice that the floor where the deputy general was standing just now was slightly loose.

The captain gently broke the floor with his hand, and the floor was lifted, revealing a piece of arm, already black and stiff.He reached out and took it out, and handed it to the lieutenant general in black.The deputy general didn't take it, and said directly: "See if there is anything unusual?"

The captain turned the arm over and saw that some sharp tool had been used to engrave characters on it. He said, "There is a character, but I don't know what it means, Han."

Hearing this word, the lieutenant seemed to understand its meaning, and said with a sneer, "Even a guard soldier is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

He Yun frowned, "Han"?What means?

Just listen to the lieutenant general continue: "From this point of view, the commander of the Red Armored Army of Wei State really came to our ship."

The captain said: "But this hostage is very tightly guarded, I'm afraid he has no chance to get close. Before the hostage was returned, this Wei Wei never showed up, but once the hostage was returned, Wei Wei immediately commanded the battle in the army camp, presumably Taking advantage of the opportunity to rescue the hostages, he returned."

Another captain said: "Thinking about it, it can only be like this, but if the red-armored soldiers captured by us knew something inside, why did the Lord Shoucheng and the Lord Lieutenant General put them back?"

The lieutenant general in black interrupted: "The grown-ups naturally have some considerations, so there is no need to say more."

He Yun rolled to the side lightly on the spot, and heard the three people lock the door again, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Firstly, what does the word "Han" represent needs to be investigated again, in short, it is a clue; secondly, it seems that the Rizhao Army is aware of Wei Wei's matter, but they don't know anything about He Yun on this ship. is good news.

In the Red Armored Army camp, two lieutenants Wei Wei and Yang Bai sat in the hall.

"Commander, those soldiers who returned to camp yesterday are still..."

"Is it still the same?"

"Yes. Sure enough, Rizhao didn't have a good idea! Let people go! What kind of people are you?"

Since the hostages returned to the camp last night, they have been in a state of unconsciousness. They are all dull, and they don't answer any questions.The man with the broken arm also had a high fever, fell into a coma for a day and a night, and has not woken up until now.

"Old Bai, please don't get excited," Deputy General Yang said, "Since that's the case, these brothers must know something important, otherwise Rizhao wouldn't have done anything to a few insignificant soldiers."

Wei Wei said: "It is estimated that it has something to do with the firearms issue. The best doctors sent by the red armored soldiers tried their best to diagnose and treat. Now that Rizhao has retreated to the sea, I don't know what kind of plan he is playing. Let's wait and see what happens. Don’t get yourself confused.”

The post envoy who came back from Jinyang happened to pay a visit.Wei Wei asked him to sit down and asked, "How is it?"

The post envoy said: "Don't worry, the commander-in-chief, the secret report was directly submitted to His Majesty, and the rest of the courtiers don't know that General He is in the enemy camp now. Except for the prince, you have told him that you can tell him."

Wei Wei nodded and said, "You have worked hard, go back and have a good rest."

"One more thing," the post envoy seemed a little embarrassed to say, "it's about General He. I don't know if you know, but General He doesn't know how to swim."

"..."

"..."

"No water! The general is on Rizhao's boat now, if there is a real fight in the future, this..." Bai Li became even more excited.

Vice General Yang said: "Old Bai, don't..."

"What the hell is this brat who can't swim?! Then what kind of boat did he get on! This is a water battle! If there is a real fight, the boat will capsize! It's crazy!"

Vice-General Yang was even more excited when he saw the commander-in-chief, and silently swallowed what he was about to say.

Wei Wei continued: "Did the prince say that?"

The postman said: "...Yes."

"...Thanks to talking to the prince, okay, I understand, you go back and rest."

The postman stood up, turned and went out.
