Chapter 169: Huihe
As he spoke, he suddenly heard the sound of the leaves rubbing in the forest, and there seemed to be a lot of people, Gu Xiu was startled, and thought, "It's coming so soon?"
Just as he was about to let the three of them retreat, after a while, someone shouted in a suppressed voice: "Brother Gu!" This person's voice is very rough, isn't it Huo Meng in his Han army?
Gu Xiu's heart moved, turned around, and only after seeing a few Han soldiers running out of the bushes and cautiously looking around, as if they were on guard, they dared to run to Gu Xiu after seeing that they were safe. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Huo Meng was five big and three thick, he was simple, he saw Gu Xiu, he couldn't hide his smile and said, "Brother Gu, you are back!" As he spoke, he glanced at the corpses lying on the ground again, revealing a bitter expression, and said in a choked voice: "It's good that you came late, otherwise you would have been in the same trouble as us." ”
Gu Xiu was also happy when he saw the four people in the Han army, thinking that there would always be surviving companions, but he wanted more, so he frowned and asked cleanly: "Is it just the four of you?"
Huo Meng sighed and said, "When there was a mess, we scattered, and now there are more than ten brothers in the place where we are hiding, including Captain Dong, everyone will protect him first." ”
"More than a dozen?" Gu Xiu muttered, his heart sank, this is still a lot worse than the number of people he has fulfilled his great wish, he thought for a moment, and said: "I counted the number of people, there are a total of ninety-six corpses on the ground, there should be more than thirty brothers missing, could it be that some of them were killed halfway?"
Huo Meng shook his head and said that he didn't know, obviously they were in a hurry and couldn't care about the other brothers at all.
The thin man in the Han army, with a mantis face, named Lian Tuo, is Dong Ce's confidant and has a certain status, he said: "How many people are there now, we don't count, this time I came to see if there are any surviving brothers, now it seems that you have already looked for it......" He sighed and said bitterly: "Indeed, so unexpectedly cruel, how can there still be a living mouth." But it's okay!" Lian Tuo raised his eyes: "We have found a few more brothers one after another, plus you, there are now seventeen ......" As he spoke, a pair of small eyes looked at the three Thorn Tomb Sect people behind Shanggu Xiu, and he asked thoughtfully: " Before, I hid behind a tree, I wanted to come to see if there were any brothers alive, and then I saw you, I saw that there were three strangers behind you, so I didn't dare to call you rashly, and found Huo Meng, he said that with your ability, you will definitely not be controlled, so the four of us came out, but I don't know, who are these three people? How can they be in such a dense forest?"
Lian Tuo was old, smart, and very suspicious, Gu Xiu understood why he disappeared in an instant at that time, there was this level of suspicion, so he turned around and introduced simply and naturally: "This is the Han people I met in the forest when I was looking for herbs. ”
"Han?" Lian Tuo looked at the three people of the Piercing Gate with a judgmental gaze.
Among the three people in the Piercing Sect, You Hua had seen a big scene, Lao Qi and Master Qin were thieves, but they couldn't stand being looked at with such sharp eyes, and the two of them unnaturally turned their eyes to other places.
Gu Xiu thought that there were still a lot of things to do, and he also knew that it was not time to confess the identities of the three people in the Assassin Sect, so he said with a sloppy eye: "I have asked these brothers carefully, there is no problem, they were persecuted by the people in the forest, and they happened to be rescued by me, I think they are all Han, so I brought them to meet you." ”
Gu Xiu's words made Huo Meng's eyes widen, and he exclaimed, "Brother Gu, are you also persecuted?" He glanced at Gu Xiu, who was covered in blood from head to toe, only knowing that something had happened to him, but he didn't know that he had directly torn Geda apart, and asked worriedly: "What's the matter, you didn't suffer any injuries, right?"
Gu Xiu and Yan said: "I was not injured. As he spoke, he said with a worried face: "What matters now is not this, but what happened? Who is the person who killed more than 90 brothers?"
Gu Xiu asked the most important point, and Lian Tuo didn't take into account the three so-called Han people who appeared inexplicably, he raised his eyes and said, "It happened suddenly!" He glanced at the forest behind him, and said: "There are many shadows here, maybe someone is looking at us now, don't talk nonsense now, let's make peace with other brothers first." When I get there, I'll tell you the general situation!" As he spoke, he thought of something again, and asked Gu Xiudao: "By the way, you went to find an antidote for Captain Dong, I don't know if you found it?"
Huo Meng immediately followed up: "Yes, Brother Gu, Captain Dong is the benefactor of our brothers, and now ...... Now that I'm delirious, I think it's the poison that has spread all over my body......"
Gu Xiu originally thought that Dong Ce could die in the chaos, that was the best, but when he counted the corpse, he didn't see him, so he knew that he might still be alive, and now he heard that he was terminally ill, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he was silent, he looked at Master Qin and said: "This Qin Lao, he can recognize the ...... of the hundred herbs" He raised his hand, revealing the wound he had been pierced by Geda, and said gratefully: "If it weren't for Old Qin to cure me from the evil man's poison, you wouldn't be able to see me now, but I can't be sure if that herb can cure Captain Dong...... ”
The three people from the Assassin Tomb Sect had been standing silently on the side, they knew that silence was better than sound at this time, and it was better to let Gu Xiu say all the words himself, because he had something in his heart, if they talked nonsense, it might disrupt his train of thought.
Lian Tuo looked at Gu Xiushen's visible wound, frowned, then glanced at Master Qin again, and continued: "Whether it is useful or not, now is the time when Captain Dong is in a hurry, you have to try everything, come with me." ”
Along the way, everyone didn't say anything, the road in the forest was very difficult to walk, there were bushes and huge roots that were coiled everywhere, Master Qin was out of breath when he walked, and the place where more than a dozen Han troops were hiding was in the depths of the forest, even if it wasn't dark, the huge canopy was like a black curtain, blocking the light from the outside. And as they went deeper, I could be sure that the area they had entered was the Dead Realm, and there were many evil creatures in it, just like what we had encountered.
Huo Meng told Gu Xiu that the people who attacked them were very familiar with the forest, and it might not be safe for them to hide anywhere, but the place was relatively hidden and could be avoided for a while.
Because the road was not easy to walk, everyone was sweating profusely, and although Gu Xiu's footsteps were good, he also felt a little tired at that time. In this case, he didn't ask Huo Meng what kind of person he was attacking them, but followed them for a long time until he reached a place where the branches of a tree resembled a cage. Speaking of the area where the branches are like cages, I glanced at the fire monkey in Bao Cai's arms, and the cage they were talking about was probably the tree with aerial roots, which is the place where we met the little fire monkey - Qinglong Land.
It's not a good place, but it has these roots, and if someone attacks, it can delay a little time.
When reuniting with the team, the other two groups went to look for people, and found several lost brothers, and the number of Han troops at that time, including Gu Xiu, increased from seventeen to twenty-four at once, plus three people from the Thorn Tomb Gate, a total of twenty-seven people.
