II. 45 The crisis is coming
"It's the helper. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Subordinates obey."
Just as Liu and Ji were counting the number of people and preparing to set off, forty or fifty people came running from the village, and these people carried a large amount of steaming food, porridge and drinking water. Wan Qinglong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it: "Liu and Ji, the two hall masters, give the people you selected thirty breaths to eat, whether they are full or not, bring some more food and water." Stay with me and Elder Lu and give you fifty breaths to eat, and then bring some food and water as well, we may not be able to catch that kid today, and we may stay here for a few days. Which of you is in charge of Sunjiatun? ā
"The villain Sun Fanxing is the disciple of the outer hall of this gang." A skinny middle-aged man stepped forward.
"Very good, you think very thoughtfully, I will make double the compensation for all the losses of your Sunjiatun when you go back,"
"Thank you."
"Stand down."
"Yes."
At this moment, more than 20 miles away from Sunjiatun appeared about 50 horsemen who were rushing here, and the leading one was a black-faced man, who was Liu Heihu, the master of the Black Tiger Hall.
These more than 50 people were all dressed in black, each carrying a bow and two pots behind them, holding a crossbow, and they were all riding fine yellow horses.
"Hall master, the helper should be in Sunjiatun in front, and we will be there in less than two quarters of an hour." On the side of Liu Heihu, there is a big Han road that is also relatively dark.
"Very well, let's work harder to catch up with the helper." Saying that, Liu Heihu hit the horse's buttocks twice more.
"Hall Master, why don't you say that the Three-Hand Divine Monarch didn't come to avenge his apprentice himself and let us come?"
"This may be the difference between a disciple and a son, the three-handed Shenjun is not the only disciple, and this Sun Hongquan is the most uncompetitive one, of course, if it is a son, it is no longer angry, and Lao Tzu will not make excuses not to come, at least he can't hang on face.
"It's okay to be bored all day long at the helm and find a rare opportunity to come out and be happy. I heard that that kid's secret weapon technique is really good, Sun Hongquan is also the apprentice of the three-handed god monarch no matter how angry he is, and it is not easy to let him die under the secret weapon. ā
"Didn't Elder Wei have each of us equipped with a bow and a crossbow? This ranged weapon is the most suitable for dealing with hidden weapon masters. ā
ā¦ā¦
A moment later, when Liu Heihu led people to the place where Wan Qinglong and the others stayed, it was already empty, and dozens of people from Sun Jiatun were packing up their things under the leadership of Sun Fanxing.
"We are the people of the Black Tiger Hall of the Bandung Gang, and behind us is our hall master Liu Tang Master, who are you?" The black-faced man beside Liu Heihu stepped forward and shouted.
"Below, there is a disciple of the outer hall and the person in charge here, Sun Fanxing has seen Hall Master Liu."
"Do you know where the helper went?"
"Qiyu Hall Master, the helper has just gone into the mountain to chase people."
"How long have you been gone?"
"But a quarter of an hour"
"What are you doing here?" Liu Heihu asked with a slight frown.
"Back to the hall master, we have prepared some food and drink for the gang leader and the brothers in the gang here, and we are about to clean up and go back."
"Oh. Okay, do you have extra food? We haven't eaten yet. ā
"It's an honor for us to serve the hall master, and we didn't know how many brothers the gang leader brought with us, so we prepared a lot of food and brought a lot of leftovers."
"Well, this silver will be rewarded to you.
Come on, everyone bring some food and leave, we have to catch up with the helper as soon as possible, so we won't stop here. ā
Saying that, Liu Heihu raised his hand and threw Sun Fanxing a ten-tael piece of silver. Generally, the monthly expenses of a family of three are only two taels of silver, although Liu Heihu brought more than 50 people, but these things definitely don't need so much money.
"Thank you, Lord of the Hall." Sun Fanxing hurriedly thanked.
"Did you say anything when you left?"
"Before leaving, the gang leader asked the Ma Hall Master and the Ji Hall Master to rush thirty miles to the front of that person to search back, while the gang leader and Elder Lu searched forward from here."
"Very good, Lao Xu, then we will go fifteen miles forward to the position between them and wait for the signal, no matter how far we find that kid on that side."
"Yes, hall master." The black-faced Xu surnamed Dahan Dao.
"Are you all done? Let's go. ā
ā¦ā¦
When Yin Lei got out of Sunjiatun, he first pasted a magic talisman on his body and ran towards the trees, and ran out of the woods for two or three miles in one go, during which he did not hide the traces left on the ground. Then cautiously return to the same path as he came. When he came to the foot of the big tree, he stopped, only to see him take out two flying knives from his arms, holding one in his left and right hands, and then gently jumped up more than a foot high, stretched out his hand and thrust the flying knife in his hand obliquely from top to bottom to the body of the tree, and the person stopped in mid-air, because the knife was inserted from top to bottom, and the knife marks could not be seen from below.
After that, Yin Lei's left and right hands exchanged with each other and inserted themselves into the big tree, and after a while, his people rose to a height of seven or eight zhang. If it was the season when the vegetation was flourishing, Yin Lei would not move here, even if someone walked under the tree, he would not find him, but now it is winter, and you can see the top of the tree when you look up from under the tree.
After coming here, Yin Lei put away his knife and looked around, and after choosing the direction, he jumped to a big tree in the southwest direction of the mountain, before falling on the branch of this big tree, Yin Lei swept the snow on the branch with a wave of his big sleeve, and then the person stood on this branch, and after a while, Yin Lei jumped to another big tree in the same way, and after a while he disappeared into the woods.
Yin Lei is not worried that the snow will attract the attention of others, in the forest wind blows, the snow on many branches will be blown off, and falling from such a tall tree, these snowflakes will mostly scatter.
Not long after Yin Lei left, Lu Tongtian's figure flashed past the big tree that Yin Lei climbed and chased forward, and soon he stood with a blue face where Yin Lei walked back, where all traces of Yin Lei disappeared, he knew that Yin Lei was going back, Yin Lei could have such anti-tracking experience It was not easy to find out, so it was impossible to catch Yin Lei in a short time, it seemed that he could really only rely on those people to search for Yin Lei's traces by casting a net.
About a mile away, Yin Lei had to jump off the tree, although this method is good, but it consumes too much internal force, if it is the power of the consumption of ** Yin Lei can still insist, but the internal force is Yin Lei's weakness. The distance here is that Yin Lei has rested on the tree several times, and each time he has rested longer than the other.
Walking in the primeval forest in winter is also dangerous. In the summer, those ditches that rushed out were covered by snow, and if you were not careful, you would fall into it, if it was shallow, it would be fine, if it fell into a large snow pit more than ten zhang deep, even the martial arts master was also in danger of falling. Fortunately, Yin Lei has lived in this environment since he was a child, and he can distinguish the trend and environment of this kind of mountains and rivers in advance, but in this way, the speed is much slower.
An hour later, a sharp whistle sounded about three or four miles behind Yin Lei, and Yin Lei's face changed, knowing that someone had finally discovered his traces. After all, there are many families, and there are only a few directions he wants to take, and it is only a matter of time to find his traces.
Yin Lei knew that as long as his footprints were discovered, the master would then come, thinking of this, Yin Lei had to speed up the hurry, and when he was in a hurry, Yin Lei jumped on the tree and jumped dozens of feet from time to time when he was in a hurry, this method made the people chasing behind lose Yin Lei's traces from time to time, and a whole hour passed, and they did not close the distance with Yin Lei.
Three or four miles behind Yin Lei, Lu Tongtian's iron-faced and pale-faced Master Ji was waiting for the sixty or seventy subordinates to search for the traces left by Yin Lei in another place.
"Elder Lu, we can't always chase him like this, it's past noon now, if we let him drag it out for another two hours, it will be dark, then it will be even more difficult for us to find him."
"Does Hall Master Ji have any high opinions?"
Although the elder is higher in status than the hall master, the master of the first hall has real power, so although Lu Tongtian was furious at this time, when he heard that the hall master Ji seemed to have some good way, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and said slowly.
"According to the observation of his subordinates during this time, although this person's whereabouts are uncertain, but the overall direction is so much the same, he was going to the south when he appeared from Junde, and he had not yet set up a beam with us at that time, so the south should be where he was going, and now he doesn't know if it is intentional, although he has changed several directions at this time, but still does not leave the left and right of the south direction, so his subordinates dare to guess that he still has to go out of the mountain to the south. It's better to do this, next time if his trace disappears again, we will mainly focus on the southwest, and spread out in a fan shape and advance directly, instead of staying where we are looking for him, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find him before dark. ā
"Okay, let's do what Hall Master Ji says." Lu Tongtian groaned slightly.
At this moment, the people who were searching for Yin Lei's traces in the south whistled, and found the traces left by Yin Lei there. Lu Tongtian was overjoyed, and was about to rush there, when he suddenly frowned and said, "Senior brother, did they catch up so quickly?" ā
As he spoke, he looked behind him and saw that at this time, Hall Master Ji also heard the movement of a large number of people walking behind him. Soon, a crowd of people dressed in black with bows and crossbows appeared in the eyes of the two, and the master of the hall of Ji sighed lightly: "It seems that they are people from the Black Tiger Hall, how can they appear here, and they come faster than the helper." ā
Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Liu Heihu broke out of the group and said in front of the two of them: "Liu Heihu has seen Elder Lu and Ji Hall Master, and Elder Three-Hand Divine Monarch Wei can't come here in person because he is in retreat, so he asked the people of Black Tiger Hall to come to help the helper and Elder Lu." When the Black Tiger came to Sunjiatun, the gang leader and Elder Lu had already entered the mountain, so the Black Tiger led people to wait in the middle, and when they heard the whistle some time ago, they rushed to help. ā
