The long night has finally passed.

When the sky was white enough to see, Ba Xin stepped out of the tent, picked up the horns of the ox, and blew the horn of the attack himself.

That's right. This is not a simple manhunt, but a real war.

Although the opponent is only a dozen people such as Feng Jinghua and Feng Xiangkong, their strength and lethality are no less than any small regular army, and if you want to completely destroy this team, you must treat them as a real army.

This is the lesson that Basin learned in just two days.

Therefore, he mobilized 800 men overnight, surrounded the foot of the mountain, all of them were fully armed, brought enough dry food, divided into more than a dozen detachments, and adopted the method of division of labor and cooperation, preparing to defend the mountain and fight a protracted battle until all the fugitives were caught.

It can be said that Feng Jinghua is really difficult to fly this time, and with her manpower, she will definitely not be able to fight against so many enemies.

The 800 soldiers quickly finished equipping, Ba Xin drew his sword, and waved it vigorously: "Search the team, enter the mountain"

400 people guarded the exit of the forest, and 400 people went into the mountain to search, even if the 400 people who searched the mountain could never find Feng Jinghua and his party, as long as they insisted on guarding the mountain, they could trap Feng Jinghua and others alive.

Moreover, Feng Jinghua and his party also had the seriously injured Feng Xiangkong, Feng Xiangkong was trapped in the mountains, how could he get enough treatment and recuperation

In short, no matter how you look at it, Feng Jinghua is dead this time.

Ba Xin's face was stern, and he led a team of forty people and prepared to enter the mountain.

However, right here, only a rapid sound of horses' hooves could be heard, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

It's the guards of Shafu

Riding a fast horse, rushing towards here at an almost deadly speed.

Ba Xin was very calm, but when Sha Jin heard such a voice, his face changed slightly, because, before dawn, the family sent a fast horse to come, I am afraid that something bad happened at home.

Sure enough, the fast horse galloped to the front and back of Ba Xin and Sha Jin, and the guards on the horse jumped off the horse without waiting for the mount to stop, and after clasping his fists at the two generals, he said anxiously: "The distinguished guests of Shafu were collectively poisoned, and several other people were assassinated, and there was a threat left by the murderer at the scene, General Sha asked the two generals to transfer some people back to Shafu to assist in the investigation and protection." ”

"What are you talking about" Sha Jin roared in shock, and suddenly grabbed the guard's chest, "What happened to me immediately, tell me in detail, don't miss any details"

It's only been one night, how did such a terrible thing happen

He almost wanted to scold his mother again.

The muscles on Ba Xin's face twitched slightly, obviously shocked in his heart, but he was still very calm, and pulled Sha Jin away: "Say it well, make it clear." ”

He thought that no matter what the woman did secretly, he should be calm and adaptable.

The guard wiped his sweat and said, "Last night, after the Phoenix Killing Conference, the general left some guests to rest in the palace city."

Yesterday evening, Sha Feng successfully postponed the phoenix killing meeting until dusk, and then the guests continued to stay in Shafu for dinner.

By the time the guests had finished their dinner, the secret investigation of the Shafu guards in the town had been completed, and no fugitives had been found in the town.

For some visitors whose origins are not clear enough, even if there is even the slightest doubt about them, the Shafu guards are also secretly monitoring them to prevent them from colluding with the fugitives.

After receiving the information that "the town is safe", Sha Jue let some of the guests who lacked authority leave, and made every effort to stay with some high-ranking or difficult guests, lest they smell the strangeness of the town after leaving Shafu, so as to track down the inside story.

The inns and houses in the town are better than the accommodation conditions in Shafu

Moreover, the crown prince and other princes and princes all lived in Shafu, who didn't want to take this opportunity to get close to them, so those distinguished guests who were invited to stay overnight all lived in Shafu, and they didn't go out of Shafu all night, completely unaware that a large-scale search and arrest operation was going on in the town.

As for the town, the Sha family guards, who were in charge of maintaining order and patrolling, received the order to impose martial law on the grounds that someone was preparing to wait for an opportunity to make trouble, and asked everyone to return to the house and not to go out at night, otherwise they would be taken into custody.

The Sha family is the king of Iron Banner Town, no one dares to disobey the orders of the Sha family, before it gets dark, everyone retreats to the house or gathers in the designated place, obediently not daring to go out.

Because of this, Ba Xin and Sha Jin were able to draw most of the manpower from the town's guards to support Soushan.

Originally, the Sha family successfully blocked the news, and Ba Xin successfully blocked the retreat of Feng Jinghua and his party, just waiting to close the net.

However, before the peaceful night had completely passed, a sudden accident happened.

During the fifth watch, suddenly some guests vomited and diarrhea, the abdominal pain was unbearable, and some even vomited blood, which made the chickens and dogs of Shafu jump, and they were busy up and down.

After the doctor's consultation, it was believed that these guests should have food poisoning and needed to take medicine and recuperate for a day or two, and should not travel for the time being.

The food in Shafu has been strictly selected and tested, and there are guards in the kitchen who keep an eye on it, how can it be poisonous

Of course, someone secretly poisoned it

But who can put so much poison under heavy guards

Sha Jue immediately thought of the nine guests who had left abruptly not long after the conference began.

But at this moment, suddenly a terrible scream came from several rooms, and as soon as everyone heard this sound, they knew that something was wrong, and immediately split up and rushed to different places.

What everyone saw was a few distinguished guests who had been killed.

Including a prince surnamed Ba, a relative of the Sha family, and three noble female dependents.

Almost all of them were killed with a single sword, and the deceased was either killed in a state of poison or in their sleep, and it seemed that none of them could resist.

There is also a blood book written by the murderer in the blood of the deceased: Next is you

The guests were all shocked.

What followed was strife and chaos, but Sha Jue quickly calmed down everyone's panic and anxiety, inspecting the scene and investigating the murder while strengthening protection and surveillance.

Most of the guests were in a hurry to leave, but Sha Jue continued to leave the guests in Shafu on the grounds that the murderer was among the crowd and everyone must stay behind to cooperate.

It's just that since the murderer has been mixed into Shafu, poisoned, and killed, and is extremely arrogant, Shafu is obviously not safe, and the Shafu guards have been sent out a lot yesterday, and there are not enough people in the house, so Sha Jue sent people to find Ba Xin and Sha Jin and asked to transfer some people back.

At the same time, last night, those guests who did not stay in Shafu but stayed in the town also had a number of poisonings, for a while, the town changed color, people were panicked, rumors spread, many guests have decided to leave Tieqi Town immediately.

However, the murderer may have blended in with the guests, and if these guests are allowed to leave now, the murderer will flee in them, and the tiger will return to the mountain

Sha Jue ordered the doctors in the house and the town to make every effort to diagnose and treat the poisoned guests, and sent people to wait for them with good food and drink, and at the same time strictly forbade anyone to leave Tieqi Town, and if there was a commotion or troublemaker, they would be arrested or killed immediately.

As soon as this order came out, the whole town was silent, and no one dared to break ground on the head of Sha Jue.

Because of this out, the town also needs to bring back manpower to patrol and guard.

Sha Jue believed that protecting many powerful people from Yaojing was more important than chasing down Feng Xiangkong, Feng Jinghua and others, and asked Ba Xin and Sha Jin to transfer back half of their troops.

After half of the 800 men and horses have gone, there are about 400 people, can these 400 people still guard and search the mountain at the same time?
