Chapter 35: Starry Night Raids the Bandits' Lair
When Wan Sheng was refining his soul in a dream, on the official road two hundred miles away from Jianye City, five post station and eight hundred miles of express horses were galloping wildly in the starry night. These five people are Wang Zhutou, the first master of Jianye Yamen, Song Zhong who provided clues, General Zhao Bi, who has the highest martial arts in the Jianye garrison, an ordinary garrison guide who is familiar with Taihu Lake in Taihu County, and Zhou Tong, the little overlord!
When Wan Sheng went back from work, Song Zhong also immediately went to the county magistrate to report, only saying that he came back from the mass grave investigation today and met an insider to report, and the insider did not dare to show up for fear of retaliation, etc.
The killing of twenty-three people on the official road is definitely a big case that makes the county order sleep, and of course the county order is overjoyed to have such a major clue, and the county order immediately called Wang Zhutou to verify it, and it is indeed in line with the law of Dugu Hong's haunting, and the credibility is extremely high. Of course, the county order would rather be believed, and it was decided to take it immediately.
But the problem is that this Taihu Lake is the territory under the jurisdiction of Taihu County, four hundred miles away from Jianye, this past is a day, and it will be half a day to hand over with the local yamen, not to mention that there are Dugu Hong's eyes and ears in the local yamen, which will definitely alarm Dugu Hong, if Dugu Hong's nest is really on the island in the lake, that is, as soon as the boat of the Ya Service Ding appears, he can immediately detect that he runs away in a fast boat, or even runs away early, but he still can't catch it.
Dugu Hong is cunning and treacherous, if he misses this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to catch him next time.
Then only the soldiers are unprepared to attack them unprepared, so they will take advantage of the lights of thousands of homes at night to send elite soldiers to smash the bandits' nest!
The specific method is to ride the post station 800 miles to speed up the horse, one station after another, change the horse without changing people, and you can reach Taihu Lake 400 miles away when the day is about to dawn at night. But only five good horses of the middle and best in each post station have this horsepower, that is, only a maximum of five people can be dispatched.
Attacking the bandits' nest with the power of five people is a bit unthinkable, not to mention that Dugu Hong is also a master among the masters, this difficulty can be imagined, so the five people in this battle must choose the best of the best.
And the cross-county night hunt must have a local acquaintance as a guide, and the guide's martial arts requirements cannot be too high, that is, they can only choose from the four people.
Wang Zhutou's responsibility is to be the first master, Song Zhong has been in hiding for many years, but he is actually not old, and he is also a clue person who provides uncertain news, and he is very drumming in his heart, of course, he must also be on it. The county commander also drew the highest martial arts general Zhao from the defenders. Looking at the entire Jianye City, there is no one who is higher in martial arts than these three people, so who is the last place to be given?
Of course not! Wang Zhutou's first reaction was that Zhou Tong, who was in the limelight during this time, immediately recommended Zhou Tong to the county order. After all, Zhou Tong was born with divine power, and he joined the world's famous Tang Dynasty Mansion, which is definitely a good choice.
But the county order did hesitate, the relationship between the county order and the Zhou family is quite good, how can this milk tiger who is only 13 years old and has only been in the sect for more than two months and has never seen blood lick blood to fight?
The king's suggestion was: "Just invite him and ask him if he would like to go?"
So Zhou Tong came, Zhou Tong was worried that there was no place for his martial arts, how could he not go? A few bandits did not dare to go, how could they beat the heroes in the competition three years later to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty?
So at this moment, among the five people who were galloping wildly, Zhou Tong, who was wearing chain mail and carrying a large steel ring knife on his shoulder, was the most excited.
Along the way, Wang Zhutou Zhao Bi pointed out Zhou Tong's various "killing people and seeing blood can become a hero's true colors!" "New recruits must not be false when they go into battle, as long as they kill one person, they will be more and more comfortable killing chickens and dogs" and so on.
And Song Zhong was indeed silent along the way. Song Zhong thought of the kid named Wan Sheng, who was also 13 years old, and he changed a lot day by day, with amazing progress and such an adventure as a dream, which can be called a genius in the world. So is this Zhou Tong also a real genius?
Song Zhong's wish is to find a suitable heir for his Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Treasure Slashing Sword, and the external conditions of this Zhou Tong must be far beyond the dozens of streets of Wansheng, and this time the battle can be regarded as a fire to distinguish the real gold. If something really goes wrong, the responsibility is all on me, and I will fight for this old life to ensure his escape!
At this moment, the five galloping stagecoaches seemed to be frightened, and the horses neighed in unison, raising their front hooves, and immediately the five of them immediately grabbed the horse's neck and were almost turned over by the horse!
Everyone's hearts sank: "What's the situation?"
The next moment, a pair of scarlet beast eyes appeared in front of the dark official road!
Wang Zhutou exclaimed: "This is a fierce beast?"
General Zhao was shocked: "It's not an ordinary beast! The position of this beast's eye is almost to the horse's neck, this isβ"
The three were shocked: "Wild boar spirit !!"
Zhou Tong was arrogant: "The young master is worried that he can't find a suitable opponent to try his moves! Uncle Wang, pull my horse and don't let it run away!" After speaking, he turned over and dismounted and rushed forward with a knife.
The three of them were shocked, and hurriedly handed over the reins of all the horses to the guide soldier: "Don't let the horses scare awayβ" After saying that, the three of them also drew their knives and followed.
I saw it, a thick cow-like strange figure roared in front of more than 20 steps, and at this moment, Zhou Tong, who was in front of him, suddenly turned into a light and shadow and flew up, and the distance of more than 20 steps was instantaneous--a flash of knife!!!
The wild boar spirit fell down with a bang, roaring all the way and sliding in front of Song Zhong and the three who followed behind, and Song Zhong and the three of them were shocked on the spot!
Although it is not completely dead, it is no different from the pig that was slaughtered and bled on the shelf. All three of them were hesitating whether to mend the knife or not.
Wang Zhutou looked up at the figure in front of him and asked, "Zhou Tong, are you in trouble?"
Zhou Tong slowly turned around and smiled proudly: "Something! was splashed with stinky pig blood, it really deserves to be a wild boar essence, this blood stinks and can't smell it." β
General Zhao Bi exclaimed: "This move is Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe! Sure enough, the move is as good as the name!"
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "What a vulgar name the three-plate axe is, the correct name of this move is to sweep the thousand armies!"
Song Zhongqi said: "I heard that after this trick is used, the whole body will lose strength, Zhou Tong, you seem to be fine?"
Zhou Tong had already come over with a smile: "It's a bit of a struggle, but it's still far from being out of force." β
Everyone was shocked: "It's really worthy of innate divine power, completely different from ordinary Datang Sect people!"
Wang Zhutou clapped his hands and laughed: "Zhou Tong is so brave, this battle is stable! Fortunately, the trip was not delayed by this beast, brothers hurry up." β
"Wait! I'll carve a few words on the pig first, lest passers-by tomorrow not know who put down the pig!" While speaking, Zhou Tong used a knife to cut down a few bloody characters on the pig, "Jianye Xiaobawang Zhou Tong passed by and killed the pig".
Everyone burst into laughter, and Song Zhong was indeed frowning and displeased.
