"Commander Xu has ordered us not to go too deep into the tunnel tonight. We must camp near the entrance of the cave as much as possible and take turns to be on night duty. We must ensure that half of the soldiers are on alert in case Qiao Qi's troops may appear at any time!"
After Yang Rui entered the tunnel with a group of "Tao soldiers", the messenger said again. It turned out that Xu You was also on guard against possible accidents since Yang Rui had discovered and entered the tunnel.
"Tian Si, why are you still standing there? Let's find a place to rest. We have to take turns to be on night duty in the second half of the night!"
Under the command of Xu You, Yuan Shao's subordinates were organized in an orderly manner, and the rules must have been set before. The messengers only gave a few instructions, and the "Tao soldiers" were already very clear about their duties. They consciously divided into two groups and went to their respective positions.
During this period, Tian Si, the "Tao soldier" that Yang Rui had transformed into, delayed for a while because he did not know his division of labor. He did not know whether to stay on night duty or to rest first. Immediately, several "Tao soldiers" who had been with him before reminded him and pulled him into the depths of the tunnel.
Although Xu You only ordered the soldiers to take a rest near the entrance of the cave, the "Tao soldiers" with Yang Rui still went into the depths of the tunnel for a long time before they stopped. Because there were so many soldiers in the tunnel, even though the corridors and small halls were occupied by soldiers for practice, Yang Rui and several "Tao soldiers" still passed through seven or eight small halls before they found a place to rest in the corridor.
From this, Yang Rui also had the opportunity to see the scale of these "Tao soldiers". Originally, Yang Rui thought that the other side could have at most 10,000 people, which was already a lot. After they really sneaked in, Yang Rui found that. The number of these "Tao soldiers" should be more than 20000. This did not include the more than 3000 people that Yang Rui had killed before.
Moreover, Yang Rui had also witnessed the complexity of the tunnels they dug. Before this, Yang Rui had only passed through three to four small halls and corridors. Only now did Yang Rui discover that after passing through the fifth small hall, there was actually a large hall that was several times larger than the small hall. There was even space for tools and weapons, and there was even a place for people to relieve themselves!
Thinking about it, it made sense. With so many people digging the tunnel together, there was bound to be someone who needed to go to the toilet. He couldn't run so far out of the cave every time, could he? Not only was it inconvenient, but it would also waste a lot of time. However, these slanted underground holes solved this problem.
"Gentlemen, I'm going to relieve myself. I'll be back soon! Everyone, please take a rest … "
After finding a place to rest in the corridor with a few 'Tunnel Soldiers', Yang Rui used the excuse of having to go to the bathroom to continue heading deeper into the tunnel.
"What's wrong with Fourth Tian today? I always feel a little silly. Doesn't he know that he is likely to encounter Commander Xu if he goes deeper? "
"Who cares about him …"
“.....”
After Yang Rui got up and left, the few 'Tunnel Soldiers' who accompanied him discussed in a low voice. Although Yang Rui went far away, his facial features had improved a lot. Naturally, he heard the conversation of several soldiers.
In fact, Yang Rui used the excuse of continuing to go deeper to try to find Xu You. Through the conversation of several soldiers behind him, Yang Rui was more certain that Xu You should be somewhere deeper in the tunnel, so Yang Rui continued to speed up into the tunnel.
At this time, the number of soldiers rushing into the depths of the tunnel had clearly decreased by a lot. Yang Rui rushed for a while until there were almost no other soldiers around him. After passing through another large hall and seven or eight small halls, Yang Rui finally found a few temporary tents in the third large hall.
Yang Rui immediately realized that Xu You was likely to be in one of the tents! The soldiers at the front all slept on the floor, and there was only enough space for them to fit in. It was almost to the point of being crowded. However, there were only a few tents in this huge hall. In comparison, it was much more exquisite.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have anything to report?"
The fact was as Yang Rui expected. When he just appeared at the entrance of the hall, the tent in the middle had been opened, and a figure came out of the tent.
At this time, with Yang Rui's five senses, he didn't even notice the breath of the people in the tent. He didn't expect the person in the tent to feel the arrival of Yang Rui first. From this, Yang Rui immediately judged that this person should be Xu You! Unless there were other people in the tunnel beyond the strength of a special general, otherwise, it was impossible to surpass Yang Rui in perception.
"… The previous person came back with soldiers!"
Hearing Xu You's question, Yang Rui, who had hurried over, pretended to be flustered and said, "Don't worry. While answering, Yang Rui didn't stop moving forward and almost went straight into the hall. Xu You certainly wouldn't allow this behavior when soldiers came to report information, but at this time, Yang Rui's panic was reasonable.
"Where is it? Take me to deal with it! "
Xu You didn't doubt Yang Rui's approach. He even took a few steps forward to go side by side with Yang Rui to deal with the "enemy"!
"Yes! General, come with me … Ha! "
Xu You's appearance and initiative to approach was unexpected, but for Yang Rui, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So while he continued to casually talk to Yang Rui, Yang Rui also secretly tightened the strange-shaped weapon in his hand. When Xu You was two or three steps away from him, Yang Rui had already jumped up and hit the back of Xu You's head with the "pick"!
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, Xu You hurriedly tried to dodge to the side, but as a famous NPC, Xu You was no match for Yang Rui in terms of movement skills. At this time, Xu You's dodge couldn't change the fate of being hit. After being hit in the back of the head by Yang Rui, Xu You's body went soft and fell down.
This was the result of Yang Rui controlling his strength. If Yang Rui wanted to, he could have killed Xu You with one hit, but at the last moment, Yang Rui was a little softhearted and felt that it would be a pity to kill Xu You directly, so he deliberately used less strength, so that Xu You only fainted.
"General!"
"General …"
At this time, people came out of the other tents in the hall one after another. They were probably the personal guards that Xu You had arranged for himself, but they appeared a little late and only in time to see the scene of Xu You being knocked down by Yang Rui!
"Kill!"
"Save the general!"
“.....”
Xu You's personal guards were naturally unwilling to watch their general be controlled by Yang Rui, so they risked their lives and rushed to Yang Rui, trying to save Xu You from his hands. However, Yang Rui would not let them succeed so easily. Although the space in the hall was much wider, there were only a dozen Fifth Grade Special Soldiers. For Yang Rui, they were not much of a threat.
Moreover, Yang Rui had successfully captured Xu You. At this time, Yang Rui no longer had to worry about his identity being exposed. Therefore, in the face of more than a dozen of Xu You's personal guards, Yang Rui simply threw away the previous strange weapon and changed to a long spear. As soon as he used the spear technique of the "81 Styles of Falling Wild Goose", he put down all the small soldiers on the ground in just three moves.
After that, Yang Rui found some rope, cotton cloth, and other materials from his backpack and tied Xu You tightly. He also covered his eyes and face to prevent Xu You from hurting people again after he woke up. After that, Yang Rui tied Xu You on his back and prepared to sneak attack along the tunnel and kill to his heart's content!
Of course, before leaving the hall, Yang Rui did not forget to search through Xu You's tent. As expected, he found thousands of gold coins, some books, swords, and other items. Yang Rui only did a cursory check and put away these things. He put the most valuable items into his backpack and turned around to go back the way he came.
Yang Rui was very interested in Yuan Shao's "Earth Soldiers". Not only could he steal Yuan Shao's Dukedom Contribution Points, Story Points, Achievement Points, he could also obtain a Tier-5 Special Soldier Skill Book. If it wasn't for Xu You's appearance, Yang Rui would have had a great time killing them!
As there were very few "Earth Soldiers" in the depths of the tunnel, although it was a little inconvenient for Yang Rui to carry Xu You on his back, it was still quite smooth. Whether it was the "Earth Soldiers" resting in the hall or in the corridor, they were all killed by Yang Rui before they could react. Not even a sound was made.
First of all, these "Earth Soldiers" were not prepared for the threat from the depths of the tunnel. The closer they were to the inner part of the tunnel, the less alert they were. There were already a large number of soldiers on the outside! Secondly, Yang Rui was currently in the form of "Tian Si", a "Earth Soldier". Even if there were soldiers who occasionally discovered Yang Rui's traces, they would not be able to react in time!
After using the Shapeshifting Mask this time, Yang Rui also learned some things. The Shapeshifting Mask could hide the color of one's faction very well. Otherwise, Yang Rui would have been exposed long ago! At the same time, the function of the Shapeshifting Mask was that even a famous historical figure like Xu You would not be able to see through it at first glance. This was also the reason why Yang Rui was able to capture Xu You so easily.
