Chapter 18 Bandits and bandits hiding in the Tang Beacon Tower?
"How long will it take to get to that Blood Wind Village?"
The team has been walking outside the Tang Dynasty for 10 days, and the hot environment and the sandstorms that swept from time to time were even more uncomfortable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They are comfortable in Chang'an City on weekdays, and they have not experienced the tempering of the harsh environment, so they feel unbearable after walking abroad for 10 days, Wang Zhutou looked at the elite soldiers behind him, those soldiers have experienced cruel life and death tests, for the 10-day march, it is completely a piece of cake.
Looking at others, and then at the catch fast he brought, Wang Zhutou really wanted to find a hole to get into.
"According to the suspected areas marked on the map, we will be able to reach the first place in the evening."
Asking the person next to him to take out the map, Wang Zhutou pointed to the three blood-colored markers on the map. The Blood Wind Village is secretive, even if it has been evil outside the Tang Dynasty for many years, no one knows their specific location.
As long as they are targeted by the Blood Wind Village, none of them will survive, and these three suspected locations are still heard from the mouths of previous merchants, and they don't know if they are accurate.
On the map, the most recent blood-colored mark is in a deep mountain, and it stands to reason that ordinary cottages are built in this kind of place, so Wang Zhutou thinks that this should be the most likely.
In the evening, the large army finally came to the vicinity of the deep mountain, Wang Zhutou and Zhang Gui immediately signaled the team to repair in situ, in order to know whether the Blood Wind Village was really in the deep mountain, they sent a scout team to find out the traces.
"Wait, the silver taels of the imperial court can't be spent in vain, I suggest sending a few masters of the 15 sects to go in and investigate."
Just when about 20 scouts were assembled and ready to go into the mountain to find out, Zhang Gui suddenly said.
Wang Zhutou was puzzled, this was just to go in and explore the truth, and he didn't need the disciples of the 15 sects to take action, right? He immediately said: "General Zhang, I think this is just to go in and investigate, so you don't have to bother the disciples of the 15 sects." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Gui nodded, as if agreeing, but continued: "The other disciples of the 15 sects can not go, but the disciples of this Tang Dynasty official mansion must go, their master, the old general Lu Guogongcheng, is one of the heroes of my Tang Lingyan Pavilion, and his disciple naturally wants to serve my Tang Dynasty." ”
Qiao Bai and the other disciples of the Tang Dynasty Mansion listened to Zhang Gui's words, but they felt a little inexplicable, this was just going into the mountains to explore the existence of the Blood Wind Village, why did they have to ask the disciples of the Tang Dynasty Mansion to make a move?
And listening to the latter's tone, it seems that he is targeting the Tang Dynasty Mansion.
"Senior brothers, do you feel that Zhang Gui is targeting us?"
With a puzzled face, Qiao Bai turned his head and asked the other disciples in a low voice to see if anyone knew the situation.
The rest of the disciples also held their chins with their hands and entered into thought, and then one of the disciples seemed to remember something, with a little excitement on his face, and said in a low voice: "I remember, this Zhang Gui once brought his son to the master to apprentice a while ago, and asked to be a disciple on the spot, but his son has no immortal roots and cannot practice spells, and the master can only let his son be a beginner disciple and practice ordinary martial arts." ”
"Later, I heard that this Zhang Gui was furious and simply brought his son back, I think, I'm afraid that's why this Zhang Gui is so targeted at our Tang Dynasty Mansion because of this incident."
Everyone suddenly realized the reason.
At this moment, Zhang Gui saw everyone gathered together muttering, a nameless fire rose in his heart, and said to the disciples of the Tang Dynasty: "The general now orders you to go into the mountains to investigate the enemy's situation, if you shirk, you can be dealt with as deserters." ”
Zhang Gui knew that the Tang Dynasty Mansion was a behemoth that he couldn't afford to provoke, if he provoked Cheng Bitingjin's personal disciples, I was afraid he could only flee for his life, but the group of disciples in front of him were all below level 30, even if he treated them well, Cheng Biting Jin would not be angry with himself.
has no fear, Zhang Gui wants to make these guys suffer.
Seeing Zhang Gui's aggressive appearance, Qiao Bai immediately rode to the latter on horseback, and said loudly: "Of course, the disciples of my Datang Mansion are dedicated to serving the Datang, and we will never do such a cowardly act as a deserter, so let's go into the mountain now." ”
At this time, it is getting late, and there is a cover of night, which is a good time to go into the mountains to investigate.
Without saying a word, Qiao Bai took a group of disciples from the Tang Dynasty Mansion to dismount and enter the mountain with 20 scouts, walking at the forefront and looking quite like a big brother.
Of course, after waiting for the first hillside, Qiao Bai still followed behind the scouts, after all, others are professional and know how to hide themselves, these disciples of the Tang Dynasty Mansion are all laymen, and walking around indiscriminately will only cause trouble.
The group moved quickly, and they didn't find any traps or bandit sentry along the way, until they reached the deepest part of the mountain, and they didn't find anything, and it seems that there is no bloody wind village here.
went back and forth for almost an hour, and when he returned to the army, he was deliberately counted down by Zhang Gui.
The night was not suitable for marching in this foreign country, so he spent the night in the same place.
The three suspected locations on the map are relatively close, and at noon the next day, they came to the second place, which is a valley, and the scouts and disciples of the Tang Dynasty Mansion quickly came to the deepest part of the valley, and indeed saw a tribe in it, but when they touched it, it turned out to be just an ordinary barbarian tribe, and this is not the location of the Blood Wind Village.
With disappointment on their faces, they returned to the troops and marched again, and came to the third suspected location in the evening, seeing where the last mark was, Wang Zhutou looked at the map with a little anger in his eyes, this person who drew the map was a liar at all, and the last mark marked a border beacon tower of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the border, there are many beacon towers that have been built outside the territory of Datang to issue an alarm in advance, so that the border troops have time to deal with it.
Now the war in the north of the frontier is tense, many troops have gone there to support, and there has been no foreign invasion in other directions for many years, so all the troops guarding the beacon tower have been transferred to the north to help in the war, and those beacon towers are deserted.
As the chief catcher of Chang'an, Wang Zhutou naturally didn't believe that those bandits and bandits dared to hide in the beacon tower, but subconsciously, he had a positive attitude towards this possibility.
Anyway, the troops have already arrived at this beacon, and if you send scouts in to take a look, everything will know.
