Chapter 749

"Brother, what do you mean..."

Meng Yang couldn't help but look at Chen Ze with a shocked face.

Of course he understands what the Lord means, and it is because he understands that it is hard to believe.

Not only he, but also Tang Tianxing, who had personally explored, frowned slightly and then frowned slightly. Obviously, he did not have much confidence in Chen Ze's inference.

No, it should be said that when everyone came out of bo'an city this time, they were asked by old Hua to see if there was a chance to save more than 2000 hostages captured that year.

This is not only a worry of Hua Lao, but also something Meng Yang and others urgently want to do.

Isn't it obvious that they came to Fengqi province to find the main Lord?

It was the Bailey Imperial Army that held the hostages!

Yes, according to the information brought back by Tang Tianxing, the total number of troops of the other party is about 20000, which is comparable to the number of Bailie Imperial troops guarding hostages that Chen Ze analyzed with them before.

But just because of this, it seems unreasonable to infer that this army is the Lord they are looking for.

Facing the unbelieving eyes of the people, Chen Ze smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just inferring. I can't be sure about it."

He thought and sorted out his thoughts. Then he said, "you can try to think about it."

"Is the place where those people are located the only place where we can set up checkpoints before we go to our destination?"

There is no doubt about this.

Even if Meng Yang and Tang Feng are a little weaker in marching arrangement, they can see that the geographical location occupied by each other is the only place they must pass here and cannot be bypassed.

"Then..."

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

The crowd looked around and could only nod.

How can you forget what happened not long ago?

"Think about it, those people are evil people who lick blood with a knife. They came here to rob property. How much property can they be robbed?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was silent.

Yes, that's what everyone doesn't understand.

Since they are so poor that they can't see others have enough to eat and want to rob them, it's estimated that they don't have much property worth being robbed by others.

In that case, those people in front are in ambush. What are they fighting for?

This is a point that everyone, including Chen Ze, did not understand before.

Now I want to come

Tang Tianxing looked at Chen Ze and his eyes flickered with an uncertain light. It was obvious that he thought of something from Chen Ze's words.

"It's unreasonable to rob hard instead of robbing."

Chen Ze added a sentence. After everyone nodded, he continued: "then the next suspicious thing, brother Tang has given the answer, that is, these people look like the army, more like bandits!"

And this sentence can only make people nod.

None of them will question Tang Tianxing's ability.

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

Chen Ze smiled again and said, "but brother Tang just confirmed to me that the tunnel he found was not found by the other party, which is very worthy of deliberation."

"Just think, if you are a native of Fengqi Province, whether it's the army or the bandits, won't they know there's a tunnel here?"

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

After a pause, he looked back and said, "I remember seeing such an ancient document in the city master's house of Dongping city. It seems that the word tunnel has been mentioned and abandoned at the same time."

"But because the document looks very old and abandoned, it is useless for our current actions, so we don't pay much attention to the past."

"It is conceivable that when the tunnel was built in those years, it was not as desolate as it is now, and then it was gradually abandoned for some reason, so that the tunnel was useless."

The people looked at each other and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

In fact, Chen Ze doesn't need them to speak.

This is what he has always been used to. When sorting out his ideas, it is much better to speak out than to think blindly in his mind. Moreover, all here can be regarded as his own people. As the saying goes, three cobblers can withstand Zhuge Liang. More people, fewer blind spots in thinking, and it also helps Chen Ze find the mistakes and omissions in his thinking.

But obviously, so far, no one thinks he is wrong.

In this way, he continued: "let alone Fengqi Province, the locals all know that there is a tunnel there, but at least they won't know nothing about it."

"If I were the leader of that group of bandits, if I wanted to set up defense there, I would surely think of what it would have been here before, and then conduct strict investigation nearby. There could be no tunnel without knowing."

"If I'm not from Fengqi Province, and I only know the terrain of Fengqi province from the map, then I'm deploying there entirely because the terrain there is very suitable for setting up cards, and I won't think of anything else."

"At this moment, who is in Fengqi province but not among the people in Fengqi province except us?"

After throwing out this problem, Chen Ze's voice also fell.

That's all he thought of at this moment.

As for what Meng Yang and others thought, just because the number of troops of 20000 people was the same, Chen Ze thought it was the same wave of people. Chen Ze didn't think about it here.

As he said, if the identity of those people is located in the Bai lie Empire, there will be a reasonable explanation for everything that feels incredible.

Robbery?

No, it's just a disguise.

Chen Ze is sure that even if those people broke up several bandit forces, they can really grab more things than the property in a small village?

All this can be explained only if these people are regarded as the army of the Bailie empire.

But... So

Chen Zexin looked at Chen Ming's position at this time.

However, the small light spot representing Chen Ming is still moving forward rapidly. At this time, it is almost reaching the place marked by Chen Ze.

But at the moment, since he found the doubt, was the arrangement made before still effective?
