Chapter Seventy-One: Evading the Pursuit
Climbing into the cave, Wang Huan took out a short knife, sat down at the entrance of the cave, and whispered to Gu Wu to come to his side. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Cai Wen leaned against the wall in the cave, her whole body was still trembling, and the cave where she couldn't see her fingers was so quiet that only the gasps of two men remained, and she groped around, touching Ling Fei who was lying on the ground next to her, pulling her arm, and crying silently.
Wang Huan touched the side, touched Gu Wu's arm beside him, and whispered in his ear: "You take a rest first, I'm staring here, and I won't be able to hold it for a while, and then I'll replace you." ”
Gu Wu hurriedly said, "Young Master, you can rest first, I'll keep an eye on it." ”
Wang Huan was exhausted, and he didn't bother to excuse himself, "Okay." With that, he leaned against the rock wall and closed his eyes.
The two of them, one left and one right, leaned against the hole less than half a meter high, and the hand holding the weapon never let go.
Inside the cottage hall.
"Big boss, those two little ladies and the old fairy were kidnapped, the specific number of people is not clear now, but one was killed by Li Zhi's leader on the cliff, and the rest fled along the cliff."
A little minion knelt in front of the disheveled Zhou Zhi to report.
It seems that Zhou Zhi got up in a hurry, and he didn't have time to sort out his clothes before he came to the hall.
Syllable!
Zhou Zhi slapped the case in front of him fiercely and scolded angrily: "Who is so bold!? Dare to come to my cottage to rob people! Send all the brothers in the cottage to catch these people! ”
said that he was not in a hurry, Cai Xiao was already ready to go, if he couldn't beat the county soldiers and couldn't defend the cottage, at least one Cai Wen could protect his life without worry, and the "talisman" was robbed by someone, can he not be in a hurry?
And the old immortal was also robbed, which added fuel to the fire, these strategic deployments these days are all made by the old man to give him advice, and now without him, Zhou Zhi's heart is in turmoil.
Besides, if the other party did not rob people, but assassinated...... Thinking about this week, I feel more and more like I'm on pins and needles.
A moment later, hundreds of minions carried torches in the night, walked out of the gate of the cottage and took the left path, and hurried towards the cliff, where more than 20 minions had already searched under the leadership of a leader named Li Zhi.
Wang Huan wanted to sleep, but he couldn't, at this time he was highly concentrated, and the slightest sound outside the cave would make him listen attentively and vigilantly, and the picture of Zhang Feng turning around lingered in his mind.
After resting against the rock wall for a while, Wang Huan felt the slightest coolness at the entrance of the cave, and the air flow was flowing slowly.
Windy?
If this cave is airtight and the entrance is so narrow that it is impossible to have such a noticeable air current, there must be a crack somewhere in the cave, or even an exit.
Thinking of this, Wang Huan opened his eyes, patted Gu Wu beside him and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring a fire fold?" ”
After Gu Wu fumbled in his arms, he took out a fire fold and handed it to Wang Huan.
He took the fire fold, pulled out the perforated sleeve, and blew lightly on the straw paper that was still burning in a dark flame.
The scarlet fire was especially evident in the cave, and under Wang Huan's blowing, the straw paper burned suddenly, and a small orange flame lit up in the darkness.
By the light of the fire, Wang Huan looked at Cai Wen and Ling Fei who were not far from him, walked up to Cai Wen and handed her a water bladder and said, "Don't make a sound, sleep for a while when you're tired." ”
Cai Wen took the water bladder in his hand and nodded Muran.
Wang Huan squatted down and looked at Ling Fei, who was still in a coma, he didn't pay attention to it just now, but now he saw the clearly visible tear stains on her cheeks and the blood spilling from the corners of her mouth, and gently helped her wipe the blood hanging from the corners of her mouth.
Stand up, take the fire fold, and with the help of the faint light, probe the situation in the cave.
After walking around the rock wall, Wang Huan found that the cave was not large, about 4 meters wide and 7 meters long, and the height was too weak to judge.
To his disappointment, there was no expected exit or extended passageway entrance.
Reluctantly, he returned to the entrance of the cave and sat down, blew out the fire fold and returned it to Gu Wu, leaning against the rock wall and continuing to close his eyes and recuperate.
After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the cave.
"Quick! The back ones keep up! Fast! ”
The minion leader ran out of breath, if he caught a few people who escaped, it would be a great achievement, and then the reward of the eldest brother would be indispensable, and the little minions behind the leader urged him to move forward quickly.
Wang Huan and Gu Wu heard the sound outside the cave, and at the same time slowly pulled out the short knife and the three-edged thorn, Gu Wu's breathing became rapid, Wang Huan gently patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to stay calm.
Wang Huan held the knife, lay down, crawled out of the cave slowly, and left half of his body in the cave.
The leader Li Zhi had already led people to the fork in the road, and Wang Huan looked at the two dozen bandits 10 meters away from him standing at the fork in the road with torches, waiting for the leader's order.
Li Zhi looked at the fork in the road under his feet and said, "Song De will take your people to the right, and the rest will follow me!" ”
After the little minion named Song De got the order, he took seven or eight people with the only two torches and ran in the direction of Shaobei, but suddenly, they didn't prepare too much, and even one of the little minions held a weapon in his hand was a hoe placed next to the vegetable field.
"Big brother! There is a case! ”
The sound of bandits can be heard in front of the dirt road on the left.
Li Zhi hurriedly ran over, saw a black boot in a quagmire on the left side of the dirt road, picked up the shoe and looked at it, grinned and waved his knife forward: "This is it!" Brothers, go! ”
"Big brother has a shoe here!"
"Big brother, there's a dagger here!"
……
Listening to the bandits who were gradually moving away, Wang Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
Slowly retreat into the cave.
Gu Wu asked in a low voice, "Young Master, what should I do now, can I go out?" ”
Wang Huan replied in a low voice: "No! If you go out rashly now, you will definitely encounter other bandits, so wait until the hour to go out! ”
Gu Wu: "Okay! ”
The first wave of bandits left less than five minutes ago, and there were footsteps and shouts approaching them, this time the footsteps were more messy and dense, and when Wang Huan leaned out again to observe, he found that dozens of torches appeared densely in front of him outside the entrance of the cave.
The second wave of bandits also divided into two routes and searched in two directions.
Damn it! This is the rhythm of pouring out of the nest, and Wang Huan is secretly glad that no one has found the cave that is only more than 10 meters away from them.
Retreating into the cave, several bandits passed by one after another while they were resting, but they were not noticed.
"No! Lu Feng, I can't wait, I always feel that something is going to happen to the young master! Can't wait any longer! ”
"Instructor Weng, I'm also in a hurry, what can I do? Where can we go to find the black light? ”
"You can't just do nothing, just wait, right?"
"Otherwise, when the time comes, Cai Xiao will take thousands of county soldiers to attack Crouching Tiger Mountain, let's gather a few injured brothers and set off at dawn to find the young master, do you think it is feasible?"
"Hey...... That's all there is to it. ”
In the temporary headquarters of the military assassin, in the usual lecture hall, Weng Li and Lu Feng were anxiously looking at the map, discussing how to find Wang Huan.
……
Every time there was a strange noise outside the cave, several people in the cave felt scared, and Wang Huan was close to collapsing after being tortured several times in a row.
After an hour of busy searching without success, the bandits returned to the fork in the road again, Wang Huan went out to check this time, secretly surprised, the dense torches could not be counted, looking at the blurred black shadow, I felt that there were about 100 people.
A big leader at the head angrily rebuked: "Damn, what are you guys doing with these rice buckets!" A few people couldn't find it! They have wounded people, and they can't run far with women, they must be hiding in the mountains! Dig three feet into the ground and find out for Lao Tzu! I can't find the big boss to start a fire to have you suffer!! ”
After being scolded badly, nearly a hundred minions scattered around and began to search carefully, it seemed that they were going to search for a carpet.
Wang Huan is not worried at all, Wohu Mountain is more than 30 square kilometers, with only 100 people, how closely can he search? It is possible to give them ten hours, and after comforting themselves, I prayed in my heart: Cai Xiao, you come quickly!
At about 5 o'clock in the morning, in the county barracks, the originally empty school field was full of 4,000 county soldiers, ready to go.
Cai Xiao held the handle of the saber at his waist with his left hand, walked up to the high platform in front of the school field, and said loudly to the soldiers underground: "The bandits of Wohu Mountain are extremely vicious, brazenly plundering the Lujiang River, burning and looting, and slaughtering civilians, and we are ...... by the imperial court."
Filled with righteous indignation, he made a speech for more than ten minutes, which basically means that these bandits who don't know whether they are alive or dead have enough to eat and support, looting the Lujiang River, we all take the wages of the state, and the state cannot tolerate the existence of these scum, so for the stability of the country and the safety of the people, my righteous division wants to exterminate this group of bandits.
Dawn.
The 4,000 county soldiers and cavalry were in front and the infantry were behind, and they walked out of the north of the city and headed for Wohu Mountain.
At about 6 o'clock, all the horses that were originally used to pull the cart outside the door of the safe car shop were put on the saddle, more than 30 people carried wooden bows, and the left side of the waist stabbed the right side of the quiver, turned over the horse, and galloped out from the north gate of the Lujiang River, heading towards Wohu Mountain.
After several hours of hard waiting, the four people in the cave managed to evade the bandits, and the dawn shone into the cave through a crack above the cave.
"Young master, young master, wake up! It's dawn. ”
Wang Huan, who was sleeping in his sleep, stretched his sore limbs after being woken up by Gu Wu, crawled out of the cave and looked, the sky was already dark, and he retreated into the cave and whispered in Gu Wu's ear, you go out to investigate first, confirm that it is safe, and then we will go to Shaobi Lake.
Gu Wu took the order and climbed out, Wang Huan picked up the knife and stood up, looked up and saw that the only light source in the cave was shining in the center of the cave, and there was a long object inserted in the ground under the light source, I don't know what it was.
Wang Huan walked in and saw that there was a pair of things on the ground that I don't know if it was a scabbard or a scabbard, could this be what Zuo Ci left me? What is it good to leave a pair of unlike scabbards, not to leave some treasures against the sky, but also to leave some divine blades, what does it mean to leave a scabbard?
Wang Huan grabbed the scabbard, a cold feeling came into his hand, and gently pulled it out to see, the scabbard was black and showed a pattern similar to a python pattern, and a gray thin rope was wrapped in the middle, about three feet long, saying that it was a scabbard, and it was arc-shaped near the bottom side, saying that it was a scabbard, and it was too narrow.
