Chapter 225: No last resort
Sixi carefully recalled the details, "At first, I didn't understand what they were doing with the fire, but I found that they piled firewood all over the nunnery, and what did they say to report to the masterβ"
Qiu Dayi clapped his hands and said to Xiao Yu as if he understood: "They have backup and want to start the fire?" Choose Guanyin Nunnery, where the terrain is the highest, and you can see it within a radius of dozens of miles. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info fortunately bumped into Sixi, and the fire was not lit. β
Xiao Yu nodded, and listened to Sixi continue: "I just think it's a pity that such a delicate yard is ruined, so I rushed up before they lit the fire, two of them were knocked down and subdued by me, and the other person had very good kung fu, and I fought dozens of rounds, but I couldn't catch him and let him slip away." β
Sixi pointed to the corpses on the ground, "The two I brought back were still angry, but they also died shortly after coming down the mountain. β
Dumb also leaned over and said, "I took it carefully, these people don't have brocade boxes on them." β
"So, the guy with the brocade box hasn't been caught yet." Qiu Da groaned.
Xiao Yu suddenly walked over and walked around the corpse on the ground, looked up and said with certainty: "Someone has indeed slipped through the net." I followed the scent you said and chased up the mountain, and when I arrived halfway through, I found that the man was empty-handed, and Jiang was not there. I turned back and found her. I think Jiang Li deliberately made a mark on him. It's just that I missed it in person. β
Missed it? Xiao Yu found that he said it very confidently, without a trace of regret. If he was one step late, if something happened to Jiang Li, he would not just regret it at this time. Thinking so, he was at ease.
Sixi also remembered at this time: "I also wanted to come when I heard Xiao Gongzi say this, and the black-clothed man who came to the nunnery and ordered the fire was full of strange fragrance." It seems that he is the leader of this group, and the brocade box must have been taken by him. Hey, it's a pity I let him slip away. β
"This tapestry can't be lost." Qiu Da is also one of the few people in the village who knows about the brocade map, and he also said anxiously at this time: "The intersection of this Wulizhuang all the way has been blocked by us, and it is expected that he will not be able to escape anywhere, or let them go up the mountain and search again?" β
"I've searched back and forth on the mountain several times, until I found a cliff in the north, and I really didn't find anyone." A man in gray said.
"Is there a cliff to the north?" Qiu Da raised his eyebrows slightly. In addition to being interested in researching various medicines, Qiu Da has never studied the terrain and terrain.
Xiao Yu is different, during this time, he led soldiers and horses to practice in the village every day, and he knew the terrain of Qingfeng Village within a radius of dozens of miles.
Listening to Qiu Da's question, Xiao Yu explained: "Guanyin Nunnery is backed by mountains on three sides, one is facing the water, and the north side is facing the water. On the opposite side of the water is the mountain behind our Qingfeng Village Water Village. β
"When I came, I had asked Li Mu to patrol the water, and if the man in black really went down the cliff behind the mountain and walked on the waterway, he happened to crash into the net." Xiao Yu sneered.
Xiao Yu's words surprised Qiu: "Since the water side is the mountain behind Qingfeng Village, if the man in black really goes from there, then wouldn't he want to go to Qingfeng Village?" According to you, do you suspect that this group of people is from our village? β
"How could it be?" Xiao Yu looked at the direction of Qingfeng Village in the dark night, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and a very determined expression: "You told me that day, Mrs. Feng reminded you, implying that someone wanted to harm Jiang Li." At that time, Jiang Li had not seen Zhou Hong. Obviously, Mrs. Feng was not referring to Zhou Hong. β
Qiu Da nodded. Xiao Yu said again: "And the man in black asked Jiang Li to exchange the brocade diagram for the antidote, and he was so fearless about Wulizhuang, obviously the man in black is also very familiar with this terrain." β
Qiu Da said lightly: "If you are familiar with the terrain, you can't conclude that we are from the village." β
Qingfeng Village still maintains a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, and secretly strengthens its own power. But this kind of obvious internal coaxing and starting to do something to his own family is the last thing Qiu Da wants to see, and he is a little resistant to Xiao Yu's inference.
Xiao Yu continued: "Not many people know about the brocade map in our hands. The owner of the village has lived in a simple house over the years, but it is inevitable that some clues will be seen by people with a heart. If the people in the village did it, if they followed the whereabouts of the owner of the village and then set their eyes on Jiang Li, they seemed to make sense when they thought about it. I just thought about it, just in case, so I let Li Mu patrol the waters around Wulizhuang. β
Qiu Da still had questions: "How can you explain that Zhou Hong appeared here today?" β
"He told me just now that the group deliberately approached him and took the initiative to send Jiang Li here, which shows that he was also designed." Xiao Yu is clear when he thinks about it.
"Now that I contact Zhou Zhou Hong's identity as the only son of Zhou Dujian, think about it, the person who designed him is not small. -- Now that we haven't decided what to do within Qingfeng Village, this group of people sent Zhou Hong up for us to slaughter first, and he clearly wanted Zhou Yan to clash with us, forcing me to free up my hands to deal with it. And once Qingfeng Zhai and the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou make a move, it will be impossible for us to draw our hands to deal with Dayan. β
Qiu Da originally advocated Shoucheng, no one would fight, no one would help, no matter whether it was Da Song or Dayan, he didn't want to provoke him. And if he wants to choose one of the two, with his identity as a Song person, of course he still doesn't want the Great Song Dynasty to suffer, so he is also extremely reluctant to attack Qingzhou in Qingfeng Village.
And Xiao Yu was able to find out this psychology of Qiu Da, so he did not shy away from telling him all this.
Qiu Da listened to Xiao Yu's analysis and did not nod, but he actually agreed with Xiao Yu's idea in his heart.
"So what do we do now?" Qiu Da asked.
"Sixi and Xiaoxiang, you bring some people to stay here. Dumb, you took someone and searched the mountain again. Xiao Yu commanded calmly.
"Trouble big brother, you accompany me to the north cliff to take a look. As long as the man in black doesn't venture to the waterway, with your ability to distinguish smells, we will definitely be able to find the man in black by following the scent. β
Dumb took a group of gray-clothed men to obey the order, and Xiao Yu also rushed to the mountain with Qiu Da.
Qiu Dan's internal strength was not weak, his footsteps unfolded, and he followed Xiao Yu through the dense forest under the dark night, and the two of them walked on the ground.
After a while, I went up to the cliff on the north side of Guanyin Mountain. The mountain breeze is blowing, and the sparse or dense woods on the mountain swaying in the night, making a rustling sound.
A few stars were scattered in the sky, and the moon was hidden in thick clouds. Although the night is still thick, the wide river under the cliff is like a white stream, and the shadows of the swarthy patrol boats on the river in the distance can be vaguely distinguished.
"Normal patrols, there shouldn't be any suspicious people found yet." Qiu Da said.
Xiao Yu and Qiu Da quietly approached the cliff. The edge of the cliff was covered with dead trees and vines, and the steep cliff was overgrown with thorns, and the two looked down, and the further down they went, the more dark it became, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
Xiao Yu stood on the edge of the cliff and muttered: "I think so-if the black-clothed man who slipped away is really from our village, he will put a small boat under this cliff and let seven or eight people go from the front mountain to lead us away." Then he went back to Qingfeng Village directly from here, which can be described as unaware. Am I wrong? β
