Chapter Seventy-Six: Lore
About seven or eight miles outside Wuqing County, the forest is dense and the grass is lush. A mouse that had come out to forage at night suddenly stood up, trembling its beard vigilantly, and the next moment, it turned around and rushed away like a wave of grass.
Not long after, not far from the place where the mouse stayed, a large tree hugged by several people suddenly made a burst of rustling sounds. Then, a figure cautiously revealed. After looking left and right, he turned over and climbed a branch. After staying for a while, seeing that there was no movement around him, he straightened up and descended from the tree.
Jiao stepped on the ground and exhaled gently, and Kan Song's face softened slightly. Turning his head to look at Wu Qing, there was a gloom on his face.
Roughly discerning the next direction, he turned around and hurried away. Half an hour had passed, and there was another soft noise in the tree, and the man who followed him leaned out, listened for a while, and then fell lightly to the ground.
The moonlight reflected through the alienated branches, revealing the face of this person, with a clear face and eyes like electricity, which was the heavenly opportunity.
At this time, Tianji leaned down to take a brief look, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and followed closely in the direction that Fang Cai Kan loosened.
Su Mo never believed that except for Hu Qi and Tianjiao, Kan Song had no other subordinates. If you regard these people as sharp knives for action, then Kan Song's subordinates must also have liaison personnel to deliver news. In other words, he should at least have a hidden base.
This base not only plays the role of internal and external liaison and transmission of information, but also serves as a surviving back road.
Su Mo had already sensed the size and tightness of this force, so such arrangements were inevitable. He didn't dare to be careless at all, so he told him that he must find this hidden base first, and then carry out a thunderous blow to completely cut off the black hand that stretched out to Wuqing County.
From the very beginning of the arrangement, Su Mo was building momentum. He didn't know that Kan Song covered his face every time he met with the people below, but this did not prevent him from speculating about Kan Song's actions from a psychological perspective.
It is indeed possible to win Kan Song with a simple planting, but Su Mo doesn't want to involve too much. He doesn't trust Pang Shiyan either, if he wants to eliminate hidden dangers neatly, he only believes in himself. Therefore, from only exposing five corpses at the beginning, to letting Tianji rectify the corpse of the Turning Heavenly Jiao, and then exposing the corpse of the Turning Heavenly Jiao on his back, he is actually building momentum, forcing Kan Song to think and think.
As long as Kan Song cares about it and thinks about it, with his complex and dark heart, he will never be restrained. In this case, it must be Kan Song's choice to save oneself first.
Temporarily avoid possible prisons, hide in a place he thinks is safe to send out information, and then secretly observe the situation, such means have been played rotten by the Celestial Dynasty Party in later generations, and I don't know how many times it has been interpreted in film and television dramas, so that everyone who has seen that kind of film in later generations will be familiar with it. How could Su Mo not have guessed?
So, there was an arrangement to quietly ambush Kan Song's house in advance, and kept an eye on Kan Song's movements all the way.
Sure enough, Kan Song lived up to expectations. After making a slight mistake at the beginning, he immediately corrected the slight difference due to his own brain supplement, and completely stepped on the script arranged by Su Mo in advance.
In the dark night, the forest is deep and the grass is dense, if it is fortunate that it is early spring, the branches and leaves are still sparse and falling, and the moonlight can still penetrate in, it is completely impossible to reach out and lose five fingers.
Kan Song gasped, secretly glad for this. This was not the time when it was almost impossible to find quiet mountains and forests near human settlements, as was the case in later generations. At this time, after leaving the city for a certain distance, patches of primitive landforms abound.
At night, if you can't see the direction clearly, people fall into it, get completely lost in it, and eventually turn into a pile of dry bones, which is by no means impossible. Not to mention, almost most people in this era suffer from night blindness, and when it comes to night, it is no different from a blind person with open eyes. Moreover, the richer the people, the more so, because the entrails of animals are unclean to them, and no one wants to eat them.
Kan Song has been walking for half an hour, Rao is he has some force, but because he doesn't dare to show it on weekdays, after little exercise, he is already sweating through heavy clothes at the moment, and his legs are like being filled with lead.
I persevered and walked a little further, but finally had to stop and hold on to the tree to catch my breath. It's been about ten miles away from Wuqing County, so it should be safe.
But Kan Song couldn't relax at all. There was a creepy feeling that always haunted him. And this feeling, as time goes by, not only does not decrease slightly, but becomes heavier and heavier.
Some of them turned their heads back in disbelief, and the moonlight behind them was dappled and the night wind was miserable, except for some unknown sound, there was silence, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The suspicion in his eyes eased slightly, and then he couldn't help but feel bitter. Haven't you become a frightened bird? Or are you really suspicious of a dark ghost? Otherwise, how can you not settle down in your heart no matter what?
No, it can't be like this. If you continue like this, you don't have to wait for someone to get it, and you will scare yourself to death.
He closed his eyes and slowly began to breathe deeply. After repeating it a few times, I felt slightly better.
Turning his head to look back, he turned around, identified the direction slightly, identified a direction, and walked one foot deeper and one foot shallow.
That place shouldn't be far away. He had only come once many years before to see him in the city, and he had never been there. At present, he has no choice, some places are really not accurate, if he walks too fast in a panic, he is really afraid that he will get lost in this deep mountain.
It wasn't until the shadow of the forest in front of him faded and a corner of the wooden house was revealed in front of him that he finally came out with a long sigh of relief.
It's here, it's done. This is the liaison office, and it is also a retreat that he arranged in advance.
As early as the beginning of his coming to Wuqing, he set up such a place. He has always been cautious, and if he calculates less, he loses, and if he calculates more, he wins, which has always been his pride, and it is also the reason why the Lord attaches great importance to him.
Stopped, calmed down his breath a little, and tidied up his body again, and then regained his former demeanor as a county leader, and walked unhurriedly towards the wooden house.
A qualified commander must maintain a kind of dignity, or a kind of authority, in front of his subordinates.
Just after taking two steps, his face looked a little unpleasant.
These dogs are so careless that they have completely forgotten the rules they have set. I was so close that I didn't even have the slightest vigilance. It seems that they have really been far away from the emperor and carried away all these years.
His face was gloomy, and his feet quickened slightly. Walked straight to the door, reached out and slapped the door twice, and there was a response inside.
There was a moment of silence, then a little dusk, and a slightly older voice asked inside, "Who's outside?"
Kan Song's face became more and more ugly, he endured his anger, and snorted in a low voice: "The passer-by is lost, and he dares to ask the master to take him in for a night, give him five or seven pieces of meat, two or three bowls of rice, and thank him heavily." ”
There was silence inside, and then there was a rush of footsteps, and the light flickered towards the door.
There was a sound of the door bolt, and when the door opened, an old man dressed as a hunter about fifty years old stood at the door, and after his eyes fell on Kan Song's face, his eyes shrank sharply, and then he nodded with a smile: "The official is polite, the things in the mountains and fields are not worth anything, if you don't dislike it, please come in and take a rest." As he spoke, he leaned sideways, but his eyes looked behind Kan Song. He swept left and right from afar, then withdrew his gaze, closed the door, and turned into the house.
Outside the door, behind a tree, the heavens turned out. After thinking about it, he waved his sleeve and raised his hand to shoot something into the night sky, and a slight sound of breaking the air sounded, and a few sparks suddenly burst out in the extremely high air, flickered a few times, and then disappeared.
As the spark vanished, the same spark lit up in several different directions in the distance.
Tianji looked up, and waited until a few sparks went out, and then his body shook and quietly disappeared into the darkness again.
In the house, just as the signal sent by the heavenly machine flashed in the air, the old hunter seemed to feel something, and turned his head sideways to show a look of contemplation, and for a moment, his eyes crossed with suspicion, turned around and leaned to the door, gently pushed the door open a crack, and peeked out through the gap.
But at this moment, the spark in the sky had long since disappeared, and what could he see? Shaking his head suspiciously, he closed the door again, turned around and walked inside.
By the time he entered the back hall, Kan Song was already sitting on the bench, his face sinking like water, staring at him without saying a word.
The old hunter put down the candle flame in his hand, crossed his hands and saluted, "The little one has seen Mr. Jibo." ”
Kan Song snorted, lowered his voice and said angrily: "It's really comfortable that you've waited." Do you remember half a minute of the order that day?"
The old hunter grinned, but he was not as afraid of him as those people who turned the sky upside down, and nodded and said, "Mr. Ji Bo is the head of this trip, how dare we forget what we have ordered." ”
Kan Song became more and more angry, and said in a low voice: "In this case, why did I come at night and not be half alert?
The old hunter scooped a scoop of boiling water from the pot stove and put it in a clay bowl, put it down in front of Kan Song, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji Bo has worked hard all the way, and use some hot water, but there is no tea here for the little ones." Hehe. ”
Kan Song's face twitched, suppressing his anger, and only stared at him silently. The Lord has his own faction, and although this old hunter is his deputy, he is not from the same faction. Such a joint mission between two different factions is naturally a kind of checks and balances, he understands this, but this does not prevent him from being angry at the moment.
"What does the gentleman think a hunter in a barren mountain and old forest should look like? When he was asleep in the middle of the night, without waiting for anyone to come close to knock on the door, he would come out in array, surrounded by groups, and raised his swords and guns at the same time?
Kan Song was choked, his face turned red, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but he heard a suppressed low laugh from several directions behind him, and someone said: "Captain, this is bad, maybe Mr. Ji Bo is really determined to raise the banner?"
Someone next to him chuckled, and another person smiled and echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, we support Mr. Jibo, and the nest in this bird is about to burst out of the fire." Mr. Ji Bo said, what a charter, but don't pay attention to the old thing. ”
Kan Song's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled with anger, and he said coldly: "Do you want to rebel?
As soon as these words came out, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the old hunter Huo stood up and said solemnly: "Don't worry about life and death, use forbearance to work; ”
At the same time, the same low shouts rang out from several other directions at the same time, and the three men, all dressed as hunters, came out of the darkness, all with solemn faces, and no longer half of the previous playfulness.
Kan Song also had a straight face, got up and saluted to the south, and said the oath together. After that, the five of them looked at each other, and the original hostility on their faces slowly faded.
The old hunter waved his hand and motioned for a few people to sit down, and then said to Kan Song in a deep voice: "Say, Mr. Ji Bo suddenly came at night, it must not be a trivial matter. ”
Kan Song nodded, groaned slightly, and then said slowly: "Immediately send back the news, the operation failed, and the target was temporarily lost." I have now been exposed, and the Tian family has been destroyed. It is up to the Lord to decide. ”
"What?!" the old hunter exclaimed at the same time, and stood up one after another.
The old hunter stared at Kan Song deadly, his eyes were calm, half loud, and he said coldly: "Why is this so?
Kan Song snorted and said indifferently: "For specific details, a certain self will tell the Lord, but you are not qualified." Don't forget, so-and-so is the first of this trip!
The old hunters were all ugly and speechless. Halfway through, the old hunter nodded hatefully and gestured to a few people. One of them nodded, turned away, changed his attire, took a horse from the back room, mounted it, and galloped south.
In the room, the old hunter covered his face with frost, pursed his lips and glared at Kan Song, and snorted coldly: "But I don't know what kind of regulations are behind Mr. Jibo, so I ask for instructions, and we should follow them." It's just that after going back, in front of the Lord, there is little to say a thing or two, but don't blame a certain family for not saying it in advance!"
Kan Song took a sip of the bowl, the corners of his mouth smiled, glanced at him contemptuously, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard a short scream in the distance, followed by a neighing of the horses, and couldn't help but suddenly change color, and stood up suddenly.
The faces of the old hunters also changed greatly at the same time, and in Cang Lang's voice, they were already holding their own blades. The old hunter's face was full of hideousness, and while waving his hand to let a few people grab a favorable position, he scolded Kan Song angrily: "Rotten Confucian, you have done a good deed! ”
Kan Song's face turned pale, at this moment, where did he not know that he had revealed his whereabouts and been embellished? Thinking about the horror that flashed in his heart from time to time before, he couldn't help but smile miserably, stretched out his hand and patted his waist, pulled out a soft sword, and said bitterly: "What else do you want to explain? Let's talk about it if you can survive." ”
The old hunter snorted hatefully, and was about to speak, but he heard a chuckle in the dark, and someone said: "It's not impossible to survive, so I tied myself up and went to see Master Su with the poor road, or it may be possible." ”
The old hunter's face was hideous, ignoring the person in the dark, but he turned his head to look at Kan Song: "Who is Master Su?" Kan Song smiled bitterly: "It's Su Mo, Wu Qing is a Mengtong, and this defeat is all due to this person." The person who came should be a person in the Heavenly Master's Sect, called Tianji. ”
The old hunter gritted his teeth, his eyes wandered around, and said in a loud voice: "Even if you are an outsider, how can you care about mundane things? If the Taoist is willing to go by himself, he should have a heart. ”
Captain Tian laughed outside, but he shouldn't. Kan Song sighed and said in a low voice: "It's useless, Yu Guizi died at his hands." ”
The old hunter was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly raised his voice and said: "Tianji Zhenren, the dispute between inside and outside Longhu Mountain, we will never interfere." Now that Itama Keiko has been ambushed, why not retreat and leave a room for meeting. ”
As he spoke, he secretly gestured to the other two. The two nodded, hid the knife behind their elbows, bent down and dived down the wall to the back window, gently pushed open a crack to inspect, and then pushed it away suddenly, and with a light tap under their feet, they had already flipped out.
When the second man followed, the old hunter showed a hint of joy on his face. But this joy could not be maintained for even a moment, and it disappeared in an angry cheer from behind.
He showed weakness in every possible way before, and the fight was to confuse the other party, so that his own people could get away and pass the news back. Listening to the voice of Tianji just now, it was only in front, but unexpectedly, there were people behind the house, seeing that this was the other party's posture that did not want to get away with one person and wanted to kill them all.
Listening to the sound of clanging blades behind him, and listening to the angry shouts of the two subordinates, his heart had completely sunk, and there was no more luck.
With a knife in his hand, he kicked open the main door violently, and was about to fight for his life, but when he stepped out of the door with one foot, he suddenly heard a long laugh, and a figure suddenly appeared in the room, and then a bright silver flower burst out.
In the flickering light, the candlelight in the room was suppressed in an instant. When he looked back in shock, he saw Kan Song's big head flying up violently, and the shocked and depressed look on his face to death still remained.
A thick bloody aura filled the room, and the sneering pillars of blood did not erupt until this moment. In the midst of the blood, a sword light swept through like lightning, and when he turned around, it was already stabbed in an instant.
