Chapter 1248

Deputy General Zhao's words were recognized by the soldiers.

Arguing was useless; everyone was just considering safety.

They just didn't want the Xiongnu to have a chance to play tricks.

Soon—

Someone brought hemp ropes.

The soldiers who thought there were no bloodstains under the giant stone stood out without hesitation.

Now was a critical moment, and it was impossible to open the giant gate.

They were afraid that the Xiongnu were doing this on purpose, wanting them to open the giant gate to check the situation.

One must know that there was still a Xiongnu army watching from afar.

It was impossible to open the giant gate at this time.

Without the General's order, no one could open the giant gate.

Therefore, they could only use hemp ropes to hang someone down to check.

Regardless of whether the Xiongnu cavalry came to attack during this period, the person who went down to check could be quickly pulled up.

Several soldiers grabbed the hemp rope and slowly lowered a soldier down.

When the soldier reached the ground, he simply and roughly reached out and touched the giant stone gate.

Upon touching it, half of his palm was stained red.

What could be confirmed was that this was not splashed on when people were smashed yesterday.

Otherwise, it would have dried long ago.

That meant... this was put on by someone last night!

The soldier held his hand to his nose and sniffed, then frowned.

These red liquids looked like blood, but they didn't have the bloody smell of blood.

That meant this was not blood!

And he had a strange sense of familiarity with these liquids.

It seemed he had seen them somewhere, but couldn't remember for a moment.

"Deputy General Zhao, these are not blood!"

"What can be confirmed is that this was put on by someone last night!"

"These unknown liquids haven't dried yet, and haven't congealed together!"

The soldier's face changed; someone must have come last night.

If he wasn't mistaken, it should be the Xiongnu.

But what was the point of smearing these unknown liquids here?

The soldier couldn't understand, but the Xiongnu couldn't be doing useless work.

The people on the Great Wall frowned upon hearing the soldier below say this.

Especially those soldiers who were on duty last night, they didn't quite believe it.

Because they were guarding here last night and didn't find anyone coming here.

It's just that they didn't dare to be sure now.

After all, the bonfires went out in the second half of the night, and no firewood was added.

Therefore, the light here at the giant gate was a bit weak.

Whether anyone came to the giant gate to play tricks, they really didn't dare to be sure.

It's just that what they couldn't understand was, what was the point of putting some red liquid on the giant gate?

But in any case, it definitely wouldn't be anything good.

Otherwise, why do useless work?

"Can you clear away the unknown red liquid?"

Deputy General Zhao also didn't understand what those unknown liquids were for.

But being suddenly smeared on the giant gate definitely wasn't a good thing.

Originally, he thought it was blood.

Now it seemed it wasn't blood, so this matter needed to be investigated further.

Fortunately, it was discovered early; since it had been discovered, it must be cleared away in time.

"Deputy General Zhao, it's not working!"

"Although these unknown liquids haven't dried completely, most of them have dried."

"The more I wipe, the larger the area occupied by this liquid becomes."

The soldier wiped it with his hand, but it had no effect at all.

He even took out the weapon he was carrying and scraped the liquid.

The scraping effect was very small, and the time required to scrape it all off would definitely not be short.
