Chapter 245 Private Soldiers
"The young prince described your and Yiren's attire to everyone, and they will recognize you when they see you.
As long as you don't act too quickly, it will be fine. As for the clothes of the people going in, they should be the same as theirs."
He pointed to the people standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Shen Ruyi took a few more glances before waving her hand.
"Got it. I'm leaving first. I plan to take the middle path this time. If you send someone in again, remember to let them know!"
After saying that, he went into the house.
Shen Ruyi returned to the fork in the road she had marked and looked up, but there was no change.
Go directly to the path in the middle, which is also marked on the wall.
It took us more than 50 minutes to reach the end, and we were still in the mountains when we came out.
But the mountains here are obviously different from the previous ones.
Although the tall trees cannot block out the sun, they are almost there.
You can't see any other hills at all. After walking around, there are only big trees.
If you look closely, you can see small green leaf buds.
All we can see are traces underground.
I looked around, but couldn't see anything special, so I could only walk around and look around.
Take out your phone, turn on the compass, and try walking in one direction.
Listen as you walk to see if there are any clues.
After walking for a while, I vaguely heard some movement following the sound of the wind.
But it seemed to be coming from the side, not from the front.
Shen Ruyi took out half a rope from the space, tied it to a big tree, and left a mark in case she couldn't come back.
If others don't pay special attention, they won't notice it at all.
Shen Ruyi adjusted his direction and continued to go in the direction where the sound came from.
The closer you are, the louder the sound is, so there must be a lot of people there.
Shen Ruyi took out the khaki clothes again and put them on outside.
Keep walking, and you'll get closer and closer.
Finally, I followed the sound and found it. It was a private army. That's right, it was the army.
There are many neatly built houses in the valley, and the sounds of soldiers shouting and killing can be heard in unison.
There are also rows of smoke rising slowly into the sky and eventually merging into one with the sky.
It seems that Sister Yiren must have sneaked into the enemy's interior.
My skills are not good enough, so I'd better go back and ask for help, and then I can pick up Sister Yiren.
Now I kind of regret not listening to the young prince's suggestion and bringing two more people with me so that I wouldn't have to run so much.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret.
Unable to determine the number of people, Shen Ruyi could only write down the number of houses and the situation of cooking smoke and describe it to them!
When returning, tie the rope as you walk and make marks.
Walking in the tunnel, it was already dark. After taking off her coat, Shen Ruyi jogged back.
There was so much activity today that I am almost exhausted.
If I hadn't practiced kung fu and strengthened my body with the spiritual spring water, I would have been crippled today.
When I came out of the tunnel, I saw two guards. This time I controlled my hands and didn't act recklessly.
One of them shouted, "Your Majesty, the young master is back!"
The little prince's voice came from another room, "Little Black Charcoal?"
"it's me."
After Shen Ruyi answered, she followed the sound and came to the main house.
There were quite a few people, but she didn't know anyone except the young prince.
Shen Ruyi found a place to sit down, and someone pushed the teapot and cups over to her.
Shen Ruyi didn't care about anything else. She took a cup and poured three cups of water before stopping and asking,
"Has my sister Yiren come back?"
"You didn't find it?"
That means he didn't come back.
Shen Ruyi didn't answer and asked directly, "Are you sure that the people here are all ours?"
The young prince and Dou Ping looked at each other, thought for a while, and waved their hands, asking everyone else to leave.
"Go ahead, little black charcoal."
"I chose to take the middle path this time, and I discovered the army, or more precisely, the private army.
I am now basically certain that Sister Yiren must have sneaked into the military camp.
My martial arts skills are not good enough, so I didn't dare to get close, but I tied a rope on the road. Even though it's dark now, I probably won't be able to find it if I go out."
After Shen Ruyi said this, she also described how many houses had been built and how much smoke there was.
"Have you sent anyone to this road?"
"No, because you were there, I didn't send anyone else to avoid causing you trouble."
"Well, then we just wait for Sister Yiren to come back. She will definitely have accurate and real data. We can just wait."
The young prince suddenly felt that the problem was becoming more and more serious. Even if he mobilized troops, it would easily alert the enemy.
And calculate in your mind, how many people are there over there?
After hearing this, Dou Ping gestured to the young prince and went out.
"Young Prince, how do you usually treat this kind of private army?"
The young prince looked at Shen Ruyi deeply and replied,
“In this situation, it depends on whether they know about it or not. Those who know about it will definitely not survive.
For those who are unaware, it depends on whether they resist and to what extent they resist.
If you know that I am a private army and still resist, you must die.
If they knew they were private soldiers and gave up resistance, they would either be incorporated into the regular army or sent home. "
Shen Ruyi continued to ask, "How do you plan to deal with them? Use the army to attack directly?"
The young prince did not answer, but asked, "Why, do you have any good ideas?"
"It's not a good idea, but I do have an idea."
"tell me the story."
"You can send some troops to guard the exits. But don't start a bloodbath.
Just get some sleeping pills or knockout drugs and put them directly into their water tanks or rice cookers.
At that time, we will capture the leader first, tie up the key people, wake them up, and then handcuff and interrogate them directly.
I guess that many ordinary soldiers come from poor families.
There is a high probability that they were deceived into joining the army. They probably had no idea that this was a private army and that they had committed a serious crime.
The level of ordinary people is too low, and they probably can't think of these things. If they die in such a confused way, it would be too pitiful and ridiculous.
How will their wives and children live? How will their parents live? "
"Are you going to excuse them?"
Dou Ping, who had gone out halfway, came back.
“It’s not to excuse them, it’s just to reduce casualties.
Just like what you said, young prince, if someone knew that this was a private army and still joined the rebellion, they should be killed directly.
It would be totally not worth it if you know nothing and become a victim of someone's selfish interests without knowing anything.
If he died on a real battlefield, at least he would be a hero defending his country. Even if he died on the battlefield, it would be a worthy death.
But it is hard to accept that he died in such an unclear and unclear way."
After listening to this, the young prince and Dou Ping looked at each other without saying a word.
