Chapter 41: The Broken Knife
So the five of them divided into two ways, Sang Qing, Tu Zhenhai, and Lu Yuankai each performed a light body lifting technique and rushed to the back camp, and Xue Yun led his senior brother Wang Shaolang to rush to the sleeping tent of the military gate.
When he came to the vicinity of the big tent, he saw a sleeping tent surrounded by the military gate, full of archers and knife sharpeners, and surrounded a sleeping tent with water.
Xue Yun asked Wang Shaolang to wait outside the tent for the time being, and he arched his hand to the generals and said, "How hard it is for everyone! Is the body of the military gate safe?"
A mid-camp garrison replied: "The military gate is just frightened, but fortunately it is not injured." ”
Xue Yun was slightly relieved, and hurriedly walked into the sleeping tent of the military gate, only to see that the lights in the tent were brilliant, and several generals were protecting the military gate. That Wang Xuegang was sitting on the wooden bed inside, holding a hookah in his hand, squeaking and smoking a hookah, and the generals of his cronies stood next to Wang Xuegang and lit a fire with a fire paper twist.
Looking at the situation at the military gate, it was very leisurely, and Xue Yun hurriedly went forward to ask for peace to the military gate.
As soon as Wang Xue saw Xue Yun, he immediately sank his face and said, "Master Xue, you are too busy with business. The safety of this army is entrusted to you, but you don't care about it at all! If you come at this time, I, Wang Xuegang, will also have a few heads taken away by thieves!"
As soon as Xue Yun heard that the military gate was blaming, he immediately asked Wang Xuegang for an confession, and hurriedly said: "It's really a despicable duty, and I deserve to die!" It's also that I underestimate the thief, forgive him for it, even if he really came to the camp and carried out extremely vicious acts, after getting the third watch, the thieves dared to break into the camp before the second watch. This is all a sin of negligence. Please tell the military gate how the thieves frightened the military gate, and I would like to know the situation at that time, so that we can track down this group of thieves. ”
Wang Xuegang said slowly to the soldiers beside him: "Show him that play." ”
The soldier replied, "Yes!" and immediately took a sharp folding knife from a bamboo table, only four or five inches long, and wore a paper slip on it.
Xue Yun couldn't help blushing, took it from the soldier's hand, saw that it was a piece folded off the waist knife, and took a look at the calligraphy, there was only a big bowl mouth on it "injustice", and in the lower left corner of the calligraphy, a fire ape was drawn.
Wang Xuegang said: "You see, this remnant knife is not a thief's thing, it is a waist knife guarding the sleeping tent." Just as the second watch was rising, the two guards suddenly saw a person flying from the shadows, as fast as a bird, and they didn't even see their faces. Fang Yi drew his knife and asked, but before he could make a sound, one had been knocked down, and the other slashed with his waist knife, and the man snatched the knife away with his bare hands. The soldier felt that he was gently brushed by this man, his body was paralyzed, his bones were weak, his throat was hoarse, and he was lying down by the tent door. The army gate was checking the army's food book under the lamp, and suddenly heard the difference in the sound outside the tent, so he raised his head and greeted someone outside the tent. How do you know that a thin old man suddenly appeared at the door of the tent, bowed to the door of the army, and said: 'Falsehood is a thief, and heaven and earth cannot tolerate it. Then he raised his hand, and a white light flew over. The door of this army flashed to the side, and it turned out that this folding knife was pierced on the bookcase in front of me, more than an inch into the wood, with this injustice sheet on it. When the army gate shouted loudly, the old man was nowhere to be seen. The patrolling soldiers came to the tent only to find that the guards were wounded and fell to the ground, which alarmed the generals. This army has led troops for more than ten years, and he has seen all kinds of dangerous battles, but tonight is a situation that makes me shudder when I think about it! Xue Yun, you think about it yourself, if you don't have the certainty of catching thieves and thieves, say it clearly as soon as possible. My life is famous and advantageous on the battlefield, and it is not worth it to die in the hands of such a small person. ”
Wang Xuegang's words made Xue Yun's ears turn red, and he said casually: "Please rest assured that the military gate will be a little more lenient, and the lowly post will definitely sacrifice the thieves to the front of the account." The lowly covenant has arrived, and has gone after the thief. The lowly duty also had to check the prisoners in the back camp, and then report everything to the military gate when he was young. ”
Speaking of this, seeing that Mao Wenlong was coming in from outside the tent, Xue Yun arched his hand to Deputy General Mao and said, "It's troublesome here for Lord Mao to guard against everything." Brother, I'll come when I go. After that, he put the folding knife on the coffee table, hurriedly went out, without saying a word, waved to Wang Shaolang, left the military tent, and immediately showed his body, such as flying to the back camp. Seeing the two teams of skilled soldiers in the tent, the chief Titan was the chief Titan of the second division, and the chief Dussaud was the chief of the second division, and the technical warriors were led by the supervisors, and surrounded the wooden houses on both sides where Lanmei's family was detained.
Xue Yun asked Tussaud, it turned out that although this place was under guard, it was actually divided by the enemy on the east and west wooden roofs, and the roof was cracked, I don't know if it was to send anything to the prisoner, or to pass on the news, so that he found that the chase was gone.
Tussaud said again: "The friend brought by Fang Cai has already rushed from the back camp with the thief's trace, and the thief is probably walking at the foot of Bengu Mountain. ”
Xue Yun said: "Do you see the appearance of the thief?"
Tussaud said: "It's about a monk and a layman." ”
Xue Yun said to Wang Shaolang: "Senior brother, please help them with their errands here, I will catch up with the senior uncles, and I will definitely come back before the fifth watch." With that, he jumped over the wooden house to take a look, jumped out of the house, and chased him down from the back camp.
At this time, the galaxy is lingering, the oblique moon is hooked, and the path is vaguely recognizable, but you can't see how far away.
Because this area is the back of the big battalion, it is not the right road, and since the rise of the army, no one has simply gone from here, and the original sheep intestine path has also been covered by basil. Xue Lao Er, who broke his eyebrows, relied on his nocturnal skills, got the true inheritance, and carried out the nocturnal technique until the root of the mountain. There is still a mountain road here, but it has been abandoned for a long time, and it is night, and it is not easy to identify, although there is a beacon fire lookout on the east side of the mountain, but it is not defended by the large battalion every day, but there is only one sentry, and it is stationed on the mountain. Xue Yun looked up, but there was no trace of a night walker in the dark and oppressive fog, and he could only slightly distinguish the location of the beacon tower.
Xue Yun then cheered up, flew up the rocky cliff, crossed and jumped, climbed lightly, and only after half an hour did he go up this dangerous mountain road, so tired that he saw sweat on his body, and breathed for a while, and then ran to the beacon tower.
Not far from the beacon tower, there were already garrison soldiers who caught a glimpse, asked who they were, and if they were slow to answer, they would open their bows and arrows. Xue Yun hurriedly explained his origin, and Su Kai, the sentry officer stationed there, came over and welcomed Xue Yun into the barracks.
Su Kai saw under the lamp that Mingguo was the commander of the camp, and was busy buying wine and entertaining. Xue Yun waved his hand and said that there was an urgent business, so it was inconvenient to delay, so he only drank a cup of tea, and asked this Su Kai, can you see anyone else?
Su Kai said: "Fang Cai was also discovered by the guards, and there were people coming up in the area of the rocky slope, but they were a little far away, and when they rushed over to check, they had already hidden their whereabouts. Because of the tight rumors of the enemy army in Blackstone these days, I didn't dare to leave here all night, and since the last two days they had noticed that there was no sign of people on it, and someone appeared, looking very much like an old man, and doubting that he was a risky person. Lord Xue said that there are assassins in the big camp and are fleeing to this area, let's search for it tomorrow!"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Xue Yun, and said, "I didn't expect that the Lord of the Commanders would have this kind of kung fu, if the assassin was on the mountain, he would never be able to escape from the palm of the adult's hand!"
