Vol 22 Chapter 8: Gather intelligence

Under my deterrence, the old man immediately nodded obediently and said he would do as I asked. After confirming that the guy had understood what I meant, I said, "Now tell me where this is."
After all, the old man is very old, and his life experience is rich. I just asked a question and he found something wrong, but this guy is more savvy. After looking at me, he did n’t break my identity, but he said seriously. "The village in front is Shanxia Village. The direction you just came from is Huangshi Village. This area is under the administration of General Qiman."
"What kind of man is General Qiman? How is he? What is his personal combat effectiveness?"
The old man hesitated a bit and then said, "General Qiman is not bad, but he is generous to the people, but he is a little bit timid and easily threatened. As for personal strength ... Actually, General Qiman has not passed any formalities. I have n’t studied art, so ...

I nodded and stopped the old man from continuing. These Qiman generals are obviously civilian generals. Such people are not uncommon. Even in ancient history, such generals with ordinary combat effectiveness still exist.
"Your general basically has no combat power, so he must have his own army or armed forces such as samurai? Tell me the composition of these armed forces and their approximate combat effectiveness."
"This one……"
"What? You think your General Qiman will kill you, wouldn't I?"
The old man immediately shook his head desperately when he heard it: "No, no. I just don't know how to answer it. That, the generals can fight into four categories. One is the garrison. In fact, it is just some trained family members, The fighting power is better than the poor, but not much. The second is the samurai, which has about 30 people. The third is the ninja. I do n’t know if there are few people. I only know that General Qiman has ninjas. .The last one is Ke Qing. There are three people in total, each of whom has his own unique ability. However, apart from those guards, I really don't know the combat effectiveness of these people! "
I don't doubt the old man's words. Because under normal circumstances, he knew it was abnormal. Just like he said. The garrison is an armed family member, with a slightly larger number, and it is not always in a combat state, and it usually does some ordinary family work. So the old man can reach these people. Learn about their combat effectiveness. This is not surprising. However, the samurai itself is a privileged class and has a much higher status than the old man. It is impossible for the old man to have any friendship with them, and naturally there is no way to understand their strength. As for the ninja ... that is a bodyguard hidden in the dark and a dead man who performs suicide if necessary. Anyway, it is a special covert. If the old man knows their strength, I guess he will not live. Stay interrogative. As for those Hakkas ... I can ask again.
"How about the capabilities of the three Hakkas, should you know some?"
"Return to my lord. I only know some simple situations of these three guests, and I don't know if they are right or wrong."
"It doesn't matter, you know how much to tell me."
"Well then!" The old man nodded. "Two of the three Keqings are samurai and one is a mage."
"Mage?"
"I'm not sure what kind of mage it is." The old man heard me repeating the word mage and knew that I wanted to know the specific details, so he said, "I also listen to people saying that there are many types of masters, but I grew up in a village. The poor, with limited knowledge, and do n’t know how to distinguish them. Anyway, I know that this Keqing will use powerful mana to let the dead climb out of the ground to help him. Of course, these dead people awakened by the Master can also be used in battle. . "
"Then do you know what color the mage's costume is?"
"Yellow. There is a gossip in the chest."
I nodded and let it continue. Except for the undead mage who can manipulate the dead to fight is the yin and yang division. The old man said that the mage was wearing yellow clothes and gossip, and that was only the yin and yang division. Although there are no specific rules for the costumes of undead mages, most of them are black and rarely have other colors. Even if there is, it must be very dark, and it can't be as eye-catching as yellow. As for gossip, this thing is something that can only be found in more standard branches of the Taoist system, and Yin Yang division is exactly this way.
The old man looked at me and continued to say immediately: "The remaining two Keqings are a man and a woman, both are samurai. They are much worse than those of our warriors raised by General Qiman, but I do n’t know how powerful they are. I'm not a samurai, so I can't see who is strong or weak. "
"Very good, your previous answer made me very satisfied. As long as you continue to cooperate in this way, I will let you know the information I want to know. Any questions?"
The old man nodded quickly: "No problem, I promise to know what to say."
I nodded and continued to ask, "You obviously recognized the wrong person before, tell me who do you think we are?" Now that this old man has discovered that we are not the ones they are afraid of and need to send me off, then I do n’t need to Avoid it. Anyway, as long as the force can maintain a stance of oppression, he can guarantee that he does not dare to play tricks with me, after all, the strength is not equal, the results of playing tricks will be unbearable to him.
The old man had shaken out his own information before ~ ​​EbookFREE.me ~ The information of these outsiders naturally need not be concealed, so he replied very quickly: "Before I regarded you as the demon king. Now. "
"The demon king?"
"In fact, it is a big demon in this mountain. I don't know how to run out and occupy Huangshi Village there, and then I found a lot of dead and attacked the nearby village. You are coming to our side, if you go to another You can see several killed villages as you go. Those villages belong to another general on the other side of the mountain, but their generals do not love the people as much as our general Qiman, so there are no people in those villages. , As a result, they were all killed. "
"Then you fought the monster?"
"That's not it." The old man said a little embarrassedly, "General Qiman sent his guest Qing and reached an agreement with the other party, that is to send four brides every six months, and then the monsters promised not to attack General Qiman's territory again. Any village. "
"Do you know what this monster king turned into a monster? How strong is it?" I finally asked the most critical question, but the old man's answer surprised me. (To be continued ...)
