Han Xiaoyue recruited troops and horses in Tanzhou, and 300 warriors came in three days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoFive hunters who claimed to be from nearby villages came to sign up, but they didn't charge a penny, and only asked Han Xiaoyue to personally lead the team to exterminate the monsters that returned to the mountain at night. The quartermaster reminded: "My lord, I have never heard of any monsters before, and there is no record of people being attacked by monsters in Tanzhou. Han Xiaoyue said: "Quartermaster, you go down to check with this official if there are these five villages near Tanzhou, and whether there are any of these hunters in these five villages." Investigate the family situation of these hunters, and report back quickly before tomorrow!"

Early in the morning of the second day, Han Xiaoyue ordered a hundred sergeants, fifty spears and fifty long knives, each holding a sharp blade and standing in the front yard of the Taishou Mansion. Han Xiaoyue was already dressed neatly, and she and Li Jingxian were waiting in the courtyard for the quartermaster to come back and report to them. Until the sun was high, and it was nearly noon, the quartermaster had not yet appeared. At this time, a cavalryman galloped to the gate of the Taishou Mansion and said, "Lord Taishou, the five Orions have arrived at the West Gate, do you want to set off?" Han Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Return to the Ridge at night...... If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Han Xiaoyue and Li Jingxian led the team towards the west gate, and as soon as they walked a few steps, there was someone behind them: "Second brother, third brother, why don't you tell your brother if you have something?" The two looked back, only to see Dongfang Li with his hands behind his back, riding a fast horse galloping. Han and Li clasped their fists and said, "Big brother, why are you here?"

Dongfang Li walked closer, snorted and said, "Do you still recognize me as a big brother?" Just after marrying Jin Lan, what is the reason why you gave me up?" Han Xiaoyue hurriedly said: "Big brother, the situation of the night return to the mountain is not clear, how dare you easily call the eldest brother out......?" Dongfang Li waved his hand and said: "What if? Isn't it that you forgot the oath we took when we got righteous?" or do you think that the old man is old, but he has done him a disservice?" Han Xiaoyue was speechless when she heard this, and she was stunned for a long time and said, "Big brother, what do you mean ......?"

Dongfang Li pointed behind him and said, "I brought a hundred beggars to help my brother and my third brother." Li Jingxian glanced at the beggar gang members, and saw that they were in rags, but they were not wearing armor, so he said: "Didn't the second brother give the beggar gang new armor and weapons, why is it still this clothes? The weapons in his hands are not good, how can the long stick kill the monster?"

Dongfang Li said with a smile: "The beggar disciples are used to living a hard life, and they are not used to wearing new clothes, and those armors are given to their respective families. Moreover, what my brother has always taught them is sticks, big swords and spears, which makes it difficult to get started. Han Xiaoyue nodded and said: "Okay, since the eldest brother insists on coming, we will go on the road together, and we will also take care of each other......" Dongfang Li's face was happy when he heard this, but he still said seriously: "What did you say? What do you mean by 'going on the road together', bad luck ......" Han Xiaoyue smiled: "The little brother said the wrong thing, don't blame the big brother!"

Outside the West Gate, five hunters had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Taishou personally led the team, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said: "The adults personally lead the team, and the grass people are sincerely afraid." Han Xiaoyue waved her hand and said, "You all get up, lead the way ahead, let's go early and return early!"

Yeguiling is located about 20 miles outside the west gate of Tanzhou, and it is a small hill that rises. The entrance to Yeguiling is extremely narrow, and only two rows of people can walk side by side. Fortunately, the slope is not steep, and the walk is very smooth. There are many large and small beasts in the forest, and they all quickly avoid people when they see them coming. This ridge is very strange, the sun is still shining when you enter, and when you enter, you feel that it is night in an instant. Maybe it's because the trees are dense and block the sun, maybe it's because it's a little weird to return to the mountain at night.

Han Xiaoyue and the three of them talked for a while, and before they knew it, they had reached the highest place in Yegui Ridge. After walking for a long time but not seeing the shadow of the monster, Han Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask the five hunters: "It's almost to the top, where is that monster?" ”

After hearing this, Li Jingxian was suspicious in his heart, and said in his ear: "Second brother, the younger brother feels that this matter seems to be strange." Yesterday, these five people said that it was more than twenty other bold people who entered the Yegui Ridge to look for the missing hunter, and how did he learn about the traces of the monster?" Han Xiaoyue was shocked when she heard this, and said secretly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" This person clearly said that the monster was not far away, and according to him, he shouldn't know the specific location!" Thinking of this, Han Xiaoyue hurriedly tightened his horse's head and said, "Everyone stop!"

After hearing this, the leader Orion turned around and said, "My lord, why don't you leave?" Han Xiaoyue leaned over and said, "Just now you said that the monster is not far ahead, why is there no movement of the monster?"

Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "You are so familiar with the situation of monsters, how did you know about it?According to what you said before, it seems that you shouldn't know this!" Orion hugged his fists and said: "Yes, the grass people also heard the people who came back talk about the approximate location of the monsters...... Li Jingxian rushed and said: "Didn't you say yesterday that more than twenty people only came back ten, nine went crazy, and the other one also died violently?" Orion thought for a moment and said: "The grass people learned the specific location from the mouth of the violent killer. Why, adults don't believe it?" Han Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "When I entered this forest, I felt very weird, and listening to what you said was even more inconsistent, it was really unconvincing. ”

Dongfang Li had a plan, and pretended to be a hypocrisy: "This is easy to do, the old man is proficient in the art of mind reading, just stare at him for a while, and you will know the truth and falsehood!" As he spoke, he leaned forward and looked at the leader of the Orion without blinking. And where does Dongfang Li know what "mind reading technique", just use it as a deception, but to see what this person says. The leader of Orion didn't know if he was really proficient in this technique, but after being looked at for a while, he was a little weak-hearted, sweat rolled down his face, and suddenly flashed back, shouting: "Brothers, we have completed the task, quickly withdraw!" As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube from his bosom and pulled down a rope on it. Hearing the sound of a cannon, the five men scattered in different directions.

"It's actually an ambush?" Han Xiaoyue shouted. Seeing that the leader of the hunters ran to the west, Li Jingxian quickly took off his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the back of his heart, which hit him on the back impartially. Han Xiaoyue exclaimed: "Jingxian, don't kill him!" Li Jingxian put away his bow and said, "Don't worry, this arrow is not fatal." ”

Han Xiaoyue nodded and ordered: "All the soldiers listen to the order, quickly probe the Yegui Ridge, and beware of a sneak attack by the enemy!" The soldiers replied yes and dispersed. Han Xiaoyue walked to the side of the leader Orion, turned over and dismounted, grabbed it in his hand, and said: "Good boy, how dare you deceive the official?" Who are you? Who ordered me to come here?" The head of Orion had blood on the corner of his mouth, and he snorted and said: "Lord Han, I'm really embarrassed, each has its own master......" As he spoke, he suddenly bit off his tongue and spit it aside, laughing wildly. Blood gushed out and spilled onto Han Xiaoyue's armor.

Seeing this, Dongfang Li rushed forward and pushed Han Xiaoyue away, and after an instant, he only heard a "bang", and the body of the leader Orion exploded in pieces. Han Xiaoyue secretly said in her heart: "What kind of evil sect is this guy using, and he almost injured me......" Thinking about it, he got up with Dongfang. Dongfang Li saw that he was suspicious, so he patted the soil on his body and said: "Second brother, don't doubt it, this person is from my Ten Thousand Demon Valley...... Han Xiaoyue looked back at him after hearing this and said, "Big brother, you said that he is from Ten Thousand Demon Valley? Could it be that he is an assassin sent by your brother?"

Dongfang Li shook his head and said: "My younger brother has always wanted to get rid of me, but unfortunately he can't find my whereabouts, this time I'm afraid it's just a mistake." As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "This person must have taken the 'Blood Devouring Pill' before he came, and he bit off his tongue to trigger the toxicity of this pill. After taking this Blood Devouring Pill, if the body bleeds profusely, it will cause the violent operation of various organs in the body, and then explode. In other words, the person behind this guy has already predicted that if he is captured alive, he can only die. ”

Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Big brother, it turns out that you Ten Thousand Demon Valley actually have such a strong poison, isn't it terrible!" Dongfang Li said: "This kind of elixir has long been destroyed by my brother, and even the prescription has been burned, and it has never been explained to anyone." Where did Dongfang Ba learn about this medicine, and he almost injured his second brother!"

As he was talking, he only heard a soldier come back and report: "Report to your lord, Song soldiers have been found in the west of Yeguiling!" Then, five or six soldiers came back and reported that Song soldiers had been found in the east, south, and north of Yeguiling. Han Xiaoyue asked, "How many soldiers are there in the Song Dynasty?" The soldier replied: "Lord Hui, it is estimated that there are about 1,000 people! There are enemies coming from all directions, I am afraid that there are at least more than 5,000 people!" Han Xiaoyue gasped when she heard this. He finally understood that it was Dongfang Ba who had taken refuge in the Song people and set up an ambush here.

Dongfang Li was so angry that he said: "Dongfang Ba, this guy, actually took refuge in the Song court, no wonder he hasn't looked for me again all these years, it turns out that he has a master!" he said, raising the pear flower cane and slamming it on the ground. Li Jingxian stepped forward and said, "Big brother, second brother, what should we do?" Han Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said: "These Song soldiers are prepared, and they lured me here with the words of ghosts, and then intended to encircle and suppress!" As he spoke, he raised the silver gun in his hand and chuckled: "However, I, Han Xiaoyue, am not afraid of encirclement and suppression!" After saying that, he turned over and shouted on his horse: "All the soldiers obey the order! march to the southeast of Yeguiling, and kill the enemy when they encounter the enemy!" As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Dongfang Lidao, "Big brother, call the brothers of the beggar gang to form a three-person phalanx and follow behind the hall behind the team." Dongfang Li nodded and said, "Second brother, don't worry!"

Han Xiaoyue waved her spear and said, "Soldiers, we have encountered an ambush. From now on, retreat in an orderly manner, and those who dare to have a chaotic position will not be tolerated!"
