Under Mei Sanniang's guidance, Xu Yan found the hidden grid on the wall, and it took a long time to take out a small Nanmu box with his weak arm, which was smaller than his palm and looked very exquisite. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What Mei Sanniang said was in the box, but Xu Yan didn't want to look at it, so he put it in his arms, left the courtyard with the woman on his back, and left the bandit village from the vegetable garden in the rear.

After a while, the stumbling figure disappeared between the reckless mountains with Mei Sanniang on his back.

The sky is bright, and there are countless corpses in the quiet cottage, and there is no corpse gas yet, and soon, this cottage will become a paradise for wild beasts to eat.

At the foot of Qiyuan Mountain, a team of hundreds of people was slowly approaching.

These people are the officials and catchers of Yongning Town, the people at the head of the group straddle the horse and the sword, they look majestic, but they have a bitter face, and the hundreds of servants who follow him are even more grinning, and they secretly curse their chief in their hearts for taking over this drudgery.

The government service and the arrest are used to maintain the town, catch a thief, beat a ruffian and the like is their duty, suppress the bandits and do whatever they do, that should be the responsibility of the garrisons in various places, and besides, the Yuanshan bandits are so easy to deal with, the year before last, the government of another town once sent 200 arresters and more than 300 government servants into the mountains to encircle and suppress, when they went there were 500 people, and when they came back, there were not even 100 people left.

Those are all vicious bandits who kill people without blinking, these officers and soldiers drag their families and mouths, and no one wants to do desperate things.

"Wang Zhutou, can you hurry up, it's been many days, and my poor daughter doesn't know whether she is dead or alive. ”

Walking in the front was a fat man, sweating profusely at this time, urging Wang Zhutou on the horse, while anxiously looking around, looking for traces of Yuanshanzhai, followed by nearly 100 nurses outside the fat man.

"Zhao Yuanwai is not in a hurry, the suppression of bandits is a matter of great importance, if you don't find out the number and nest of bandits, it is not the best policy to attack rashly, we must know ourselves and know the other. ”

The king catcher on the horse is still urging the horse slowly, so that he can catch the head and capture the thief, and the bandit is purely to catch the ducks on the shelf, how fierce the Yuanshan bandit is, can the head catcher of the mixed white road not have heard of it, if it weren't for the fact that the county magistrate couldn't stand Zhao Yuanwai crying and begging in the yamen all day long, he wouldn't have sent these hundreds of people to serve and catch fast.

It is said that it is a bandit, in the heart of Wang Zhutou, this time taking people into the mountain is just to explore the way, as long as the exact location of the Yuan Cottage is explored, it will be completed, and then it will be time to go back and hand over the errand, and the county will report to the imperial court, as for which army the imperial court will allocate to attack the Yuan Cottage, it doesn't matter about his king's head.

Mingzhe's means of protecting his life, this group of headhunters and even the magistrate can all be deeply harmonious.

Wang Zhutou was cautious, and since entering the mountain, he stopped and stopped, and every time he crossed a mountain bag, he had to send his men to explore the way, and he would continue to march only after making sure that there was no danger.

He was not in a hurry, Zhao Yuanwai on the side was so anxious that he was sweating, and kept urging, just like that, a group of five or six hundred people dragged and dragged on, and entered the mountain from the morning, and did not see the shadow of Yuanshanzhai from a distance until noon.

"My lord, there is no movement in the cottage. ”

The finder quickly touched the edge of the cottage, and ran back without daring to go in, reporting the news he had found, but there was no movement.

"No movement?"

Wang Zhutou turned over and dismounted, and watched from the pergola built by his old hand, he couldn't see whether there was anyone in the cottage, but he refused to take one more step forward.

"Lord Catcher, give the order to attack the mountain. Zhao Yuanwai rubbed his hands in a hurry, and seeing that the bandit village was in front of him, he became more and more anxious.

"The huge cottage, there is no sound, there must be fraud. Wang Zhutou pretended to say: "It's not appropriate to attack the mountain rashly, it's not appropriate." ”

Thundered!

Wang Zhutou just wanted to tell Zhao Yuanwai beside him about the taboo of soldiers, and he was about to go back after dragging it for a while, when the other side of the mountain suddenly shook up, and countless birds were startled, as if a herd of beasts appeared in the forest.

The team of hundreds of people was frightened by the approaching sound, and they turned around and fled in unison without the command of the officials, and the action seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times, and it was actually uniform, including Wang Zhutou, this group of officials who were supposed to protect the people were caught quickly, and they threw down Zhao Yuanwai and rushed out of the mountain without looking back.

Zhao Yuanwai was already frightened by the official's actions, and when he came back to his senses and was about to escape, a war horse suddenly rushed out of the mountain forest on one side, followed by the second and third.

Five hundred iron riders!

The cavalry who were buried in the iron armor immediately rushed to the Yuanshan cottage as soon as they appeared, and after the Pegasus, the simple wall was trampled into mud, and those knights were swords out of their sheaths and bows one by one, and the five hundred iron horsemen were full of murderous aura like five hundred Shura.

Wang Zhutou, who had run away, fortunately glanced back, and when he recognized that the group of cavalry was not a mountain bandit but a border army, he stabilized his mind, hurriedly gathered his scattered subordinates, and then took the lead in rushing towards the cottage.

There are border troops to open the way, and there is absolutely no good fruit to eat in Yuanshanzhai, and this kind of credit is not picked up in vain.

When a group of decrepit soldiers who had been defeated before a battle turned back and rushed back into the cottage, the scene in front of them once again surprised them inexplicably.

The five hundred iron cavalry did not move, still maintaining the formation of the charge, in front of the iron cavalry, there were corpses all over the mountains, thousands of Yuanshan bandits one by one were lying on their backs, and the death was terrifying, not only the mouth and eyes were crooked, but the eyes were not a few.

"General, it's poisoning. ”

At the front of the five hundred iron horsemen, there was a probe horse with a knife to report, and in such a short time, this person had already cut open more than a dozen corpses, and all of them were bleeding black blood without exception.

"Poisoned?"

The general at the head took off his armor and showed a young face, it was Cheng Yu's third son, Cheng Yu, the deputy general of the border army, he frowned, and ordered: "Search the cottage, find me the body of a little Taoist priest, and bring it with me if I see a living one." ”

Here!

Suddenly, five hundred iron horsemen rode out and began to comb the entire cottage, and after half an hour, the cavalry returned one after another, all of them without exception.

"General, there are more than 1,100 mountain bandits, and there is not a single one alive. ”

"General, I didn't find a young man in a Taoist robe. ”

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Cheng Yu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and Wang Zhutou, who was not far away, wanted to step forward to say hello, but when he saw Cheng Yu's face from a distance, this head catcher from Yongning Town was stunned and didn't dare to come over.

"Poisoning a thousand people at a time is such a big deal. Cheng Yu whispered coldly: "What a ruthless scheming!"

Who poisoned Yuanshanzhai, Cheng Yu didn't know, but the people who could poison the entire Yuanshanzhai at one time must be caused by disagreements within Yuanshanzhai, if it was an outsider, unless it was a cultivator, otherwise, ordinary innate martial artists would not be able to kill thousands of people at one time.

Cheng Yu was a little regretful that he didn't find the little Taoist priest who saved his father's life, but fortunately, no one saw the corpse wearing a Taoist robe, since this is the case, the little Taoist priest should still be alive.

Turning his horse and leaving, Cheng Yu ordered to return to the camp, and left the cottage full of corpses first, followed by five hundred iron horsemen.

For a moment, Cheng Yu's mind associated the three words of little Taoist with the black hand that poisoned thousands of people, but the next moment he was left behind.

Not everyone can kill people, a half-grown child, it is absolutely impossible to slaughter all the Yuan cottage.

Seeing the retreat of the border army, Wang Zhutou raised his eyebrows this time, and took the lead in rushing into the bandit village full of corpses, he didn't dare to come to the living mountain bandits, and he was not afraid of the dead mountain bandits, so from time to time there would be a surprise shout from the officials who found the treasure, as well as the cry of Zhao Yuanwai, who couldn't find his daughter.

In the depths of Qi Yuan Mountain, there is a clear stream, next to the stream, Xu Yan is constantly pouring water into Mei Sanniang's mouth, and after the other party drank a lot of water, he slammed the other party's abdomen with his shoulder, so Mei Sanniang even vomited bile.
