Chapter 322 Tuxingsun Steals the Bomb
When Jiang Ziya saw the visitor, he hurried down the steps, bowed to Randeng and Manjusri, and said respectfully:
"Ziya has met Master Randeng and Brother Manjusri."
Taoist Master Ran Deng smiled and nodded, "No need to be polite, Zi Ya, get up."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya stood up and looked at the dwarf beside Randeng with a puzzled look.
When Randeng saw this, he understood.
"Ziya," the Taoist priest Ran Deng continued, "I will introduce someone to you."
He turned slightly to gesture to a short but sharp-eyed young man standing next to him.
"This is Tuxingsun,"
Taoist Master Ran Deng introduced him, "He is a direct disciple of Ju Liusun. He is proficient in earth walking and can travel a thousand miles a day. Ju Liusun specially asked him to come down the mountain to help you."
After saying this, Master Ran Deng turned his gaze gently to Tu Xingsun beside him, and he slowly said:
"Tuxingsun, why don't you go and pay your respects to your Uncle Jiang."
Tu Xingsun heard what Ran Deng Taoist meant. He took a few steps with his short legs and walked to Jiang Ziya.
Although he is not tall, he exudes a smart and sharp aura that makes people dare not underestimate him.
He bowed with great respect and said:
"Disciple Tuxingsun pays respect to Uncle Master Jiang! This time when I go down the mountain, I will definitely go all out to help Uncle Master!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya quickly reached out and helped Tu Xingsun up, his eyes gleaming with admiration. He smiled and said:
"Nephew, no need to be so polite. I am grateful to Brother Juliusun for sending you to help me. I believe that with your joining, my army will have a better chance of winning."
After saying this, Tu Xingsun felt a little proud when he saw Jiang Ziya's recognition of him. He bowed and said humbly with some sincerity:
"Master Jiang, you are too kind. I am just doing my part. It is my honor to fight alongside you."
"Uncle Jiang, please let me know what arrangements you have. I will do my best to complete them."
Jiang Ziya nodded in satisfaction when he heard this. Suddenly, he looked at the short Tuxingsun, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, a plan suddenly came to Jiang Ziya's mind.
He thought that Tuxingsun was proficient in the art of earth escape, so why not let him go to Sishui Pass and steal back the new weapons used by the enemy?
In this way, the enemy will lose their highly lethal weapons, and it will be easy for me to lead the army to attack the city.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya believed that this was feasible, so he told Tuxingsun what he was thinking.
Jiang Ziya hesitated for a moment and said slowly:
"Tuxingsun, I have something I need you to do right now."
Tu Xingsun's eyes were a little excited when he heard this, but he immediately regained his composure. He didn't expect that he would be given such an important position as soon as he arrived.
So, he responded without hesitation: "Uncle Master, please tell me. I will do my best to complete it."
Jiang Ziya paused, as if he was organizing his thoughts and considering his words. He continued:
"Before this, our army was caught off guard by the defenders of Sishui Pass using a weapon they had never seen before, and was defeated."
At this point, a trace of pain and anger flashed in Jiang Ziya's eyes.
He knew well how much of a blow the defeat had dealt to the army's morale and confidence, and he also knew well how great the threat posed by that unknown weapon was.
"I am also extremely worried about this. Fortunately, you, my nephew, came here in time. I know that you are proficient in earth escape techniques and can sneak into the enemy camp quietly."
"Therefore, I want to send you to Sishui Pass to steal back that highly lethal weapon. What do you think?"
As soon as Jiang Ziya finished speaking, Tu Xingsun's heart was filled with blood. Stealing weapons was too easy for him who was proficient in earth-walking skills.
He imagined himself sneaking into the enemy camp and quietly retrieving all those unknown weapons, and a surge of ambition and passion surged in his heart.
"Uncle Master, rest assured. I will live up to your trust."
Tu Xingsun answered firmly, his eyes flashing with determination and courage, "We will go to Sishui Pass and retrieve all the weapons."
As he said this, Tuxingsun was about to use his earth-walking technique to head for Sishui Pass. However, Jiang Ziya quickly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, nephew."
Jiang Ziya's voice was filled with worry and concern. "It is daytime now, and the city must be heavily guarded. You are more likely to be exposed. Therefore, you should wait until midnight before going."
Tu Xingsun was a little anxious when he heard this, but he also knew that Jiang Ziya's words made sense. He nodded to show his agreement.
"Then I will wait until midnight before heading to Sishui Pass."
Tu Xingsun said, "Before that, I would like to learn more about the specifics of those weapons so that I can better complete the mission."
At this time, Jiang Ziya ordered his deputy general to present the shell fragments picked up from the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, the deputy general immediately took out a piece of broken shell from his arms and handed it to Jiang Ziya carefully.
Jiang Ziya took the shrapnel and handed it to Tu Xingsun, asking him to take a closer look.
Tuxingsun took the fragment and saw that it was covered with mottled marks, which were obviously the marks left by the explosion.
He carefully observed the shape and structure of the fragments, and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
The craftsmanship of this weapon is so exquisite that it is truly amazing.
"Uncle Master, is this the fragment of that unknown weapon?" Tuxingsun asked.
Jiang Ziya nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Exactly. This weapon was thrown into the attacking army using a trebuchet. It exploded within a few moments after landing, causing heavy casualties among the surrounding soldiers."
At this point, Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed with pain and anger. He took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, and continued:
"Master Nephew, you must be careful when you go to Sishui Pass this time. The existence of this kind of weapon is too threatening to us."
Upon hearing this, Tu Xingsun patted his chest and said confidently:
"Uncle Master, rest assured. I will definitely retrieve all those weapons and eliminate this threat for the army."
Jiang Ziya nodded slightly and encouraged:
"Nephew, I believe in you. You must be careful and pay attention to safety on this trip. I will be waiting for your good news in the barracks."
In order to ensure that Tu Xingsun's action was foolproof, Jiang Ziya began to describe to him in detail the shape of the shells and where they might be stored.
As he spoke, he pointed at the map with his fingers and told Tuxingsun every detail in detail.
Tuxingsun listened very carefully. He nodded as he listened, and kept every detail that Jiang Ziya said firmly in his mind.
Night falls, the moon is dark and the wind is strong.
Tuxingsun used the art of earth escape and sneaked into Sishui Pass silently.
Relying on his keen intuition and extraordinary skills, he rushed left and right in the city, avoiding the numerous guards and traps.
Finally, Tuxingsun arrived at the place where the shells were stored. He looked at the well-made shells and was delighted.
Just as he was about to start stealing, he suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
He was startled and quickly used the earth escape technique to hide underground.
I saw a team of enemy patrol soldiers coming over, holding torches and looking around vigilantly.
Tuxingsun secretly thanked his lucky stars that he had hidden himself in time, otherwise if he was discovered by them, the consequences would be disastrous.
