Chapter 29-Multiple Stratagems, Calculating the Distance! (Collect flower evaluation tickets! Please!!!
After the time for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the camp outside Yangzhou.
Looking around, there were about twenty tents arranged in a row. Jun Ruyu had the experience of War God Baiqi, so he could clearly see that the arrangement of these tents was completely in line with the formation of the army.
There was defense and offense, and there was also a way out. It could greatly prevent a sudden attack from external enemies.
After entering the camp, they realized that there was no one here. The place where the silver army pay was stored was also empty.
After walking around the military camp, Jun Ruyu couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"Mei Niang, did you find anything?" he asked slowly.”
When Wu Meiniang heard Jun Ruyu's words, she thought for a moment and said,"Mei Niang believes that this camp has not been invaded by any external enemies, so the loss of these silvers is very likely…"
Wu Meiniang did not dare to continue.
Jun Ruyu sneered.""It's very likely that it was an inside job, right?”
"Ha! He truly is a good son of the Great Tang!”
Jun Ruyu snorted coldly. He turned to look at Li Jing and said,""General Li, I need you to go to the surrounding barracks to investigate something.”
"Imperial Teacher, please speak!"
Li Jing hurriedly bowed and said.
"Go and investigate if there are any more or less soldiers in any of the barracks! How many more or how many fewer? I need accurate data!”Jun Ruyu said.
Li Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"I'll do it now!"
Without any hesitation, Li Jing turned around and left.
"Lord Fang, I also have something I need you to do.”Jun Ruyu looked at Fang Xuanling.
"Imperial Teacher, please instruct me!" Fang Xuanling quickly said.
"I need you to check if there's any place within a hundred miles of Yangzhou City that can hide people or items! "In addition, I also need you to investigate if there are any records of people missing in Yangzhou City in the past five years and the number of people missing! What did they do before they disappeared? I need very detailed information!”
Even the clever Fang Xuanling could not guess why Jun Ruyu wanted him to investigate this.
However, he quickly nodded and cupped his fists."I'll do it now!"
Soon, Fang Xuanling left as well.
Only Jun Ruyu and Wu Meiniang were left behind, as well as some accompanying guards to protect Jun Ruyu's safety.
Jun Ruyu looked around the camp again. He discovered that all the camps were intact, and there were traces of fires being lit and covered with soil.
From this, it could be deduced that these soldiers had eaten normally last night.
"Hmm?"
Jun Ruyu suddenly stopped. He lowered his head to look at the ashes and found some broken iron pots.
"The pot broke?"
Jun Ruyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I know!"
He hurriedly stood up and quickly walked towards the back of the camp.
Seeing this, Wu Meiniang didn't know what clues Jun Ruyu had found, so she quickly followed behind.
Not long after, he saw Jun Ruyu stop in front of some manger. He looked down and saw that there was still a lot of unfinished hay in the manger.
"There's still some hay left, and there's quite a lot of it. Did you not finish it in time, or was there a lot left?”
Jun Ruyu's eyes flashed with contemplation.
"My lord."
At this moment, Wu Meiniang's voice suddenly sounded. She said,"Daren, when they were escorting the military pay over the night before, Mei Niang was curious and came over with father to take a look. Mei Niang remembered that they did not have much hay left. At that time, father even asked if he should send them hay!”
"They said that they don't need it for the time being. They will go to the city to get it the next day! Therefore, their horses probably didn't eat much of the hay!”
Shua!
Jun Ruyu's eyes widened when she heard Wu Meiniang's words.
He had many messy threads in his heart, but now he had gradually smoothed them out.
He turned around and glanced at Wu Meiniang. He could not help but reach out and touch Wu Meiniang's head. He said,"Mei Niang, you're really amazing! This time, you've really helped me a lot!”
Wu Meiniang had never been touched so intimately before. When she saw Jun Ruyu touching her head, her pretty face could not help but blush.
However, when she heard Jun Ruyu's praise, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if she was very happy.
"It is Mei Niang's luck to be able to help the Emperor Master!”Wu Meiniang said.
When Jun Ruyu heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.""Meeting you is my luck!”
"Give me the map!"
Jun Ruyu directly asked for a map from her entourage.
He unfolded the map and drew a circle on it with a brush. It was the location of the camp.
He calculated the distance that the horse could travel with such a heavy load of silver without eating its fill.
"A hundred miles is too much!"
Jun Ruyu's eyes suddenly narrowed." The pot is smashed. This means that they're not planning to start a second fire. In other words, they must have a place to stay!"”
"The horses ate a bit of dry grass, so they didn't have much strength to walk far. In other words, the distance they walked must be very small!”
" Calculating the distance based on weight is a combination of physics and mathematics. In that case…"
Jun Ruyu muttered to herself as she kept gesturing. Even someone as smart as Wu Meiniang did not understand what Jun Ruyu was talking about.
However, looking at Jun Ruyu's serious expression, Wu Meiniang only felt that Jun Ruyu was so attractive at this moment that people were unwilling to look away.
"I've calculated it!"
At this moment, Jun Ruyu suddenly drew a circle on the map and said,""The distance is no more than thirty li! The three million taels of silver must be within these thirty miles!”
