"Brother, what do you mean..."

Meng Yang couldn't help it at first, and looked at Chen Ze with shocked expression on his face.

Of course he understands what the Lord meant, and it is precisely because he understands that it is difficult to believe it.

Not only him, but even Tang Tianxing, who went to investigate in person, raised his brows slightly, and then wrinkled slightly. Obviously he didn't have much confidence in Chen Ze's inference.

This time I came to Fengqi Province, no, it should be said that everyone came out of Bo'an City this time because they were asked by Hua Lao to see if there was a chance to rescue the more than two thousand hostages who were captured that year.

This matter is not only a heart disease of Hua Lao, but also what Meng Yang and others desperately want to do.

Then, isn't it obvious that the Lord they are looking for when they come to Fengxi Province?

It was the group of Emperor Bai Lie who held the guards hostages!

Yes, judging from the intelligence brought back by Tang Tianxing, the total number of troops in the opponent's place was about 20,000, which was comparable to what Chen Ze had analyzed with them before, and now the number of the Bai Lie Emperor ** team guarding the hostages can be matched.

But just because of this, inferring that this troop is the righteous they are looking for, it seems quite unreasonable.

Facing everyone's unbelieving gazes, Chen Ze smiled bitterly, and said: "I'm just inferring, and I can't be sure that it must be."

He thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and then said again: "You can try to think about it."

"Is the place where those people are, the only place where we can set up checkpoints before we reach our destination?"

There is no doubt about this.

Even if Meng Yang and Tang Feng are slightly weaker in marching formations, it can be seen that the geographical position occupied by the other party is the place they must pass through and cannot be bypassed.

"Then……"

Chen Ze looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you still remember the bandits we caught?"

Everyone looked around and could only nod their heads.

How can you forget what happened not long ago?

"Think about it, those people are thugs who lick the blood with the knife's head. They originally came to **** their property, so how much of their property can be snatched from them?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was silent.

Yes, this is something that everyone doesn't understand.

Since they are so poor that they can't see other people's food and want to rush to grab a hand, then if they say how much property these people are worthy of being robbed by others, it is estimated that there is no one.

That being the case, those people in front are lying in wait, what are they trying to do?

This is a point that everyone, including Chen Ze, didn't understand.

I want to come now...

Tang Tianxing looked at Chen Ze, his eyes gleaming with uncertainty, apparently thinking of something from Chen Ze's words.

"It shouldn't be robbed and grabbed hard. This is very unreasonable behavior."

Chen Ze added, after everyone nodded, he continued: "Then the next suspicious point, Brother Tang has already given the answer, that is, these people are more like an army than a bandit!"

And this sentence can only make everyone nod.

Here, among these people, no one would question Tang Tianxing's ability.

"Of course, this is not enough, to support my inference."

Chen Ze smiled again, and said: "But just now, Brother Tang confirmed to me that the tunnel he found was not discovered by the other party, which is worthy of scrutiny."

"Imagine if they were locals in Fengqi Province, whether they were the army or the bandits, wouldn't they know that there is a tunnel here?"

"Such a long tunnel is obviously impossible to be secretly excavated by the people. There must be an official background in it."

After a pause, he looked back and said: "I remember that in the city lord's mansion in Dongping city, I vaguely saw such an old document. It seems to have mentioned the word authentic, and there are also discarded ones. Typeface."

"But because the paper's year seems to be very old, and it is abandoned, our current actions are useless, so we didn't pay too much attention to it in the past."

"It is conceivable that when this tunnel was built, it was not as desolate as it is now, and then for some reason, it gradually fell into disuse, making this tunnel useless."

The words made everyone look at each other, and for a while they didn't know how to speak.

And Chen Ze actually didn't need them to speak.

This is because of his habit all the time. When sorting out his thoughts, it is much better to say it than to think blindly in his mind. Besides, the people here can be regarded as his own. As the saying goes, three heads are the best. After Zhuge Liang, there are many people and fewer blind spots in thinking, which also helps Chen Ze discover the mistakes and omissions in his thinking.

But it is clear that, so far, no one thinks there is a mistake in his words.

In this way, he continued: "Not to mention that the locals in Fengqi province know that there is a tunnel there, but at least, they don't know anything about it."

"If I were the leader of the group of bandits for the time being, if I were to arm myself there, I would definitely think about what it would have been here before, and then conduct a rigorous investigation of the neighborhood. There can be no tunnel that I don't know."

"And if I am not a native of Fengxi Province, and I only know the terrain of Fengxi Province from the map, then I am deployed there because the terrain is very suitable for setting up cards, and I would not think of it. other."

"At this moment, who is in Fengxi Province and is not a member of Fengxi Province, who else besides us?"

After raising this question, Chen Ze's voice also fell.

This is all he thought of at this moment.

As for what Meng Yang and others thought, only because the number of troops of 20,000 people was the same, Chen Ze thought it was a matter of the same wave of people. Chen Ze did not even think about it here~lightnovelpub.net~ As he said, if the identities of those people are positioned on the Bailie Empire, then everything that feels incredible will have a reasonable explanation.

robbery?

No, that's just a disguise.

What Chen Ze can be sure of is that even if those people have broken up several bandits, they can really grab something, afraid that there will be no more belongings in a small village?

Only by treating these people as the armies of the Bailie Empire can all this be explained.

But... in this way...

Chen Ze shook his heart and hurriedly checked where Chen Ming was at this time.

However, I saw that the small light spot representing Chen Ming was still moving forward at high speed. At this time, I saw that he was almost at the spot marked by Chen Ze.

But at this moment, since he has discovered the doubt, is the arrangement made before still effective?
