Chapter 148: Caught in the Net

When four of Lipper's soldiers saw the bandits surrounding them, they threw Lipper's broadsword on his horse. And Yumo pulled Yang Peng to run to the wooden house as soon as possible and blocked the door.

Zeng San took a few bandits, used flint and steel to ignite the arrows tied to the cotton cloth soaked in fire oil, and flew towards the supply pavilion, forcing out Yumo, Cen Erniang and others who were hiding inside. He was timid and afraid of death, so he took the bandits who lit the fire to besiege Yumo and Cen Erniang.

First, the risk of doing so is the lowest, and secondly, they want to arrest Cen Erniang and Cen Sanlang, and force An Sanshao and Libai to comply. Zeng San had inquired a long time ago and knew that Cen Erniang and Cen Sanlang were very important to Libai and An Sanshao.

Libai had been fighting for several months, and he had no time to guess his intentions when he fired rockets at the wooden house. body, he ordered the four personal soldiers who were born and died with him several times: "Go and protect the girls, go quickly!" They must not be allowed to have anything to do. ”

The four personal soldiers saw that although Libai was besieged, they still had the strength to deal with those bandits, so they listened to his words to support Yumo and protect Cen Erniang.

An Sanshao was besieged and killed, Zhao Yue and him killed the enemy back-to-back, they were originally very worried about Cen Erniang and a few people, but when they saw that Libai sent people over to protect them, they were all relieved and tried their best to deal with the few bandits in front of them.

After about half an hour of fierce fighting, Gong Jinbao and his party of bandits were beaten by Libai, An Sanshao and others, and half of them were seriously injured, and the remaining half of the people, seeing that the shape was not good, scattered in all directions, and fled into the vast deep mountains shrouded in night. These bandits are all nearby mountain people, who grew up in the mountains and are very familiar with the terrain here, and soon fled without a trace.

That Zeng San was usually sleek, greedy for life and afraid of death, but this time he went out, and with a lot of ruthlessness, with the cover and assistance of several bandits, he snatched Cen Sanlang from Yumo and four soldiers. He knocked Cen Saburo unconscious on his shoulder, and escaped first with his excellent light skills.

Cen Erniang, Yumo and Zhao Yue saw this. In a panic, he chased him in the direction he fled with a torch. Before leaving, Cen Erniang told An Sanshao and Libai to send the captured bandits to the Lin'an County Mansion. Find Jingzhi County to interrogate them. And asked An Sanshao to ask Jingzhi County to send more strong officials to help find Cen Sanlang.

Even though Li Bai and An Sanshao wanted to follow Cen Sanlang, those bandits couldn't be escorted without guard, so they had to worry about escorting the group of bandits overnight and driving towards Lin'an County. Fortunately, the carriage of the Cen family was big enough. can fit the dozen or so bandits who are tightly tied.

Gong Jinbao was unfavorable this time, and he and more than a dozen of his subordinates were planted in the hands of Libai, An Sanshao and others, and were captured alive. He was a life-sparing man, on the way to Lin'an County, he was gently slashed by Libai with a knife on his neck, only to cut a little skin, oozing a wisp of blood, and he cried and recruited everything he knew.

Li Bai and An San learned that they had received a reward from a mysterious person and made a special ambush in the mountains. Waiting to kill them.

Libai and An Sanshao were very surprised, the two of them had never met, how could someone want the lives of the two of them at the same time? Who is that man? But no matter how they coerced and lured, Gong Jinbao and other bandits didn't know who hired them to kill people. The two had to hide their doubts for the time being, and quickly sent the group of bandits to the county government of Lin'an County.

……

Cen Erniang watched her younger brother be taken away from her, she couldn't wait to replace her, and even more eager to eat Zeng Sansheng, who robbed Cen Sanlang. At the same time, I also regretted that I didn't bring the silver needle box out. Otherwise, at the moment when Zeng San abducted her younger brother, she could have fired a poisonous needle to poison him to death, so as to prevent her younger brother from falling into Zeng San's hands.

It's probably too angry, and it bursts out of potential. Or maybe I went out to exercise in the past few months and practiced my leg strength. Cen Erniang actually followed closely behind Zhao Yue and Yumo, chasing Zeng San and running wildly, without pulling his hind legs.

Zeng San is like a nimble wild goose. Running in the dark mountains and forests is like the wind, disappearing from time to time. Whenever Zhao Yue, who was running at the front, found his figure and wanted to catch him, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Several people chased in the forest for a long time, and until dawn on the second day, Zhao Yue and they did not find Zeng San and Cen Sanlang. and even completely lost track of them. The three of them almost dug three feet into the paulownia forest where Zeng San last appeared, and they didn't find him or Cen Saburo.

Cen Erniang was tired and scared, and she was about to collapse. It was all thanks to a perseverance that supported her that she did not fall. It's just that she ran too much and lacked water, her eyes were already distracted, and she walked crookedly.

With such an undisciplined and messy pace, it seemed as if she was about to fall to the ground in the next second, but she insisted on walking for a long time, but she didn't wrestle.

Zhao Yue looked at Cen Erniang's panicked little face that wanted to cry or not, that face was full of anxiety and exhaustion, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He persuaded her to sit on a large smooth rock to rest, "Erlang, you can't go any further." Just sit here and wait for news from me and Yumo. ”

"Ah Yue is very right!" Yumo picked a slightly yellowed wild taro leaf, came back with a handful of water out of nowhere, handed it to Cen Erniang's mouth, and asked her to drink: "Second young master, you can drink some water." The bandit must have not gone far, but hid in the vicinity. Ah Yue and I will look everywhere again, you can rest here and recuperate, and wait for us to come back. ”

"Nope! I'll rest for a quarter of an hour, and we'll look for it together. Cen Erniang drank half of the water in one go, and handed the remaining half to Zhao Yue, whose lips were dry and cracked: "Brother Ayue, you drink it too." ”

Yumo disagreed: "Young master, you are so tired that you can't run ......around anymore."

Cen Erniang raised her hand to interrupt him: "Yumo, that mountain bandit is hiding nearby, if I am separated from you, I may be robbed by him." Let's act together. ”

"Erlang has a point." Zhao Yue drank some water, felt that his throat was not so hot and itchy, and sat next to Cen Erniang very unfiguratively, patted the rock under the seat, and invited Yumo to sit with them.

Yumo was also very tired, and squatted next to Zhao Yue. The three of them were all in a heavy mood, and none of them spoke, but sat silently for a quarter of an hour, barely recuperating their spirits, and then searched around in the tung forest.

They searched for almost two hours, turning over and over the paulownia forest covering an area of several acres, but they did not find Zeng San and Cen Sanlang.

Cen Erniang was so anxious that she burned her throat and eyes, and she ran for miles of mountain roads at night, broke out in a cold sweat, and was blown by the night wind, got a wind chill, and kept coughing.

Yumo led her and Zhao Yue, who was thirsty, to drink water from the mountain spring he found before, and happened to meet Zeng San, who also went there to fetch water.

Cen Erniang and the three of them were overjoyed, and in an instant, they were full of strength, rushed over, chased Zeng San for three or four miles, and finally caught him before he ran out of the Tong Forest, and asked Cen Sanlang's whereabouts.

But when they found Cen Sanlang, they found that when he was taken away by Zeng San, he broke his head, and his head was half dried with blood, which made Cen Erniang's eyes black and fainted with fright. (To be continued.) )
