Chapter 3158 Guess
But Daji did not let anyone come forward. Although the government officials were ready to move, they did not move as the guards held down the formation.
In fact, they thought it was just a fallen tree and they could just move it away. Why were they so cautious?
Daji was already looking at the woods on both sides with a frown, and when he was hesitating whether to send someone to investigate first, Zhou Man had already opened the curtain and jumped out of the car.
Daji was startled, "Madam!"
Zhou Man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm just going to take a look. I'm curious about how the tree fell."
She had already asked Keke, but there was no one around.
Zhou Man took Da Ji and a group of guards forward to take a look, and saw that the roots of the tree were still connected in one place, and the dirt on the ground was covered with dirt. It seemed that it had been blown down by the wind. However, Zhou Man squatted down and took a closer look, and still saw the felling.
The traces were just destroyed by others.
Daji also noticed it and frowned, "Looking at the traces, it seems not too long ago. Since it's not an ambush, who would do this?"
Zhou Man clapped his hands and said, "No matter, move the tree away and let's go."
They moved the tree away, mounted their horses and left. Half an hour later, they encountered the second fallen tree.
Daji and the guards became nervous again, Zhou Man:...
Zhou Man was furious and waved his hand: "Move away!"
Daji did not listen, but first asked people to check the conditions of the mountains and forests on both sides. After confirming that there was really no danger, he asked people to move the trees.
Then he continued walking like before. This time after walking for less than half an hour, Zhou Man opened his eyes, opened the curtain, took a look outside, and waved to Daji, "Daji, Daji, I guess there is another tree in front of you, do you believe it?"
Do not believe?"
Daji: "...what do you want to say?"
"Huh, let's split up into two groups and bring my horse."
Daji frowned, "Where are you going? You can't take risks yourself."
Daji would not refute Zhou Man's inference, because he was far inferior to them in terms of intelligence and intelligence.
Although he doesn't understand who is so stupid. If you want to ambush, it's enough if you ambush once. What does it mean to ambush three times?
The speed of the car gradually slowed down, but Daji finally gave the horse to Zhou Man, then ordered seven of the best guards and said to them: "My wife wants to go into the mountains to collect herbs, we will follow."
He called another guard, whispered to him a few times, then patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "You just go to Shouguang County and find a suitable place to camp near evening. We will go find you."
Zhou Man called Zheng Gu, and the ten of them rode into the mountains together. Except for Zheng Gu, who listened to the whole process, no one doubted Zhou Man's purpose.
Because she just has this habit.
Sometimes when she was walking well, she would turn to the other side to dig grass. Not only the guards of the Bai family, but also the yamen of Beihai County were used to this kind of thing, so they didn't doubt it.
They just need to meet up at the front.
Zhou Man rode his horse and turned into the forest, followed Keke's instructions, and said to Daji: "Actually, you are the best in the team. If you are not here, they may be suspicious."
Daji: "Master Lang said that I must follow you all the time and never leave."
He said: "If you doubt it, just doubt it. If there is an ambush, the result will be the same whether they take action or not."
The guards then felt something was wrong and asked one after another: "What ambush?"
Daji said: "Hold your swords and follow your orders in a moment."
After a pause, Daji continued: "Let's check the enemy's situation first. If there are too many people, we won't say anything. We'll protect the lady first. If we can beat them, we'll take action."
One of the guards first glanced at Zhou Man, who had a serious look on his face, and then said, "Brother Daji, are you thinking too much about who will ambush us?"
"Be careful. We have already encountered two trees blocking the road today."
"Isn't it just blown down by the wind? If you ambush the first tree, that's the best place to ambush, right? Why do you have to use trees to block the road again and again?"
Daji also couldn't understand, so he said: "Maybe stupid people think too much."
These words made Zheng Gu, who had never expected it, feel better, but he still couldn't help but ask: "...Why aren't you a smart person?"
"Because their purpose is to ambush. Normally, we wouldn't be able to think of such a scheme, and we wouldn't be able to see through it, but as smart as a lady, we can see through it. So his scheme can't deal with smart people, so isn't he a fool?"
Normal people, like them, cannot think of such a scheme; smart people, like Zhou Man, can see through it at a glance, which means that the other party cannot rely on either, so what is that other than a fool?
Zheng Gu and the guards were stunned by Daji. They didn't notice anything wrong for a moment and just nodded.
Only Zhou Man looked at Daji and couldn't help laughing.
They walked up the mountain and then walked down for a while before tying their horses in the forest and being led forward by Zhou Man.
Not to mention the other guards, Daji couldn't tell the direction, but soon they faintly heard the sound of carriages and horses tramping along.
A guard looked down the mountain and saw their motorcade slowly approaching. Before he could be happy, he glanced to the side and saw a tree lying across the road.
Guard:……
Did the lady really guess it?
The other guards were about to speak when Zhou Man shushed them, signaling for them to be quiet, and then pointed down the hillside. Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and after a while they vaguely saw the bushes among the weeds.
……people.
It's a human, it looks like a human leg.
The guards swallowed and turned to look at Daji. Was there really an ambush?
The guards were the first to suspect Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village. They lowered their voices and said, "Are they the remnants of the bandits from last year? But didn't Master Lang arrest everyone? Is it their family's revenge?"
Zhou Man glanced at them sympathetically and whispered: "Let your brains go."
Daji also glanced at them, "Don't make random guesses. See how many people there are. If you can beat them, arrest them all. If you can't beat them, we'll leave."
"What about us people down the mountain?"
"Don't worry, my wife is not in the car, they have their own way to escape." Daji lowered his voice and said: "Liu Da, you are light-footed, go and see how many people are ambushed in this section."
Zhou Man knew it, but he couldn't say it directly. He could only stare at the grass for a long time, and waited for Liu Da to come back and report, "I can't see clearly, but there should be seven or eight, and I found that there were some near the roadside."
There are people behind the tree, but I dare not get close, not sure how many there are."
Zhou Man whispered: "I took a look, there are at least ten people there in the grass, and there are five people further down. If there is an ambush, there should be an ambush on both sides. If the number is the same, there will be thirty people."
Zheng Gu was surprised, "Master, your eyesight is so good that you can see through so many trees and dense grass?"
"Of course," Zhou Man whispered, "You don't need to see the person, you can infer it based on the shape of the trees and grass."
Although she didn't know how to deduce it, or even whether she had this knowledge, it was always right to say this first, and to fool people first.
The guards, like Zheng Gu, looked at Zhou Man with admiration.
