Chapter Ninety-Seven: Capture the Thief and Capture the King First
They came, "they" should refer to the group of mountain bandits, Lu Zhi'an, Su Yange and the others, exchanged glances, and quickly moved into the cave, closed their eyes and leaned against the wall, as if they had fainted...
A few steps away from the cave, the voice of the mountain bandit came over, the voice was unexpectedly soft, but it sounded full of confidence, and shouted to them:
"All out!"
When the villagers in the cave heard this, they all went out of the cave in a panic, and they accidentally bumped into Lu Zhi'an and them in a hurry, but they didn't have time to apologize, as if they were afraid of those mountain bandits...
Seeing that everyone had come out, the man's voice sounded again, but this time it sounded like it was right in front of him:
"Count the number of people."
As soon as the words fell, there were sloppy footsteps, which should be the man's accomplices, and they were counting.
Su Yange squinted and secretly glanced at it, and found that those villagers were all standing in several rows spontaneously, which looked quite neat, but the leading mountain bandit just happened to enter the crowd and was blocked by a few villagers, and Su Yange was a little invisible from this angle.
With his sense of hearing, he listened to the footsteps of the mountain bandits, and there were more than a dozen people up and down, walking back and forth among the villagers, counting the number of people.
Lu Zhian thought about it, and also opened his eyes slightly, looking at the movement outside:
In addition to the villagers, there were several men dressed in uniform in their eyes, only one of them had different clothes from those ones, and the others were all dressed in black robes, but the man was wearing a pale blue robe.
Lu Zhian couldn't help but squint his eyes and wanted to see the real thing, it was really strange...
According to the memory of the mountain bandits, they can't sit down with them at all, especially the man at the head, who is not the type of mountain village man at all, he is thin, and he looks like a literati and elegant person......
If you meet on the road, you think it's just an indifferent traveler.
This surprised Lu Zhi'an, they occupied the village, but they didn't burn and loot, put these people together, and gave them food, although the treatment was not very good, and it wouldn't cause any problems with their bodies...
"Master Wen, there are a lot of them."
One of them stepped forward and reported to the man, the man known as Master Wen, who just nodded and didn't speak.
With such a move, his subordinates also respectfully stepped aside and waited, and the villagers were also slightly relieved, looking like they were afraid of that Wen Ye.
Lu Zhian looked at it and pondered in his heart, their purpose... What will it be?
was observing, but the man suddenly turned around, and Lu Zhian hurriedly closed his eyes.
The man looked back, and then noticed the situation in the cave, after all, Lu Zhi'an and they were at the entrance of the cave.
After looking at it, Na Wen Ye walked over, looked at a few of them with their eyes closed, as if they had fainted, and turned around and asked:
"What's going on?"
The voice was not angry, and it was calm to listen to, and the old man hurriedly came out of the crowd, walked to Master Wen, knelt in front of him, and said respectfully:
"Back... Hui Wenye, these boys, we look dressed well, so... I used the medicinal powder given by Master Wen to stun them..."
"Oh?"
Wen Ye laughed, couldn't hear the emotion, and said again after a while:
"Old man, how did you do that? I think two of them still have swords, don't lie to me. ”
"Master Wen! Master Wen... If you give us a hundred guts, we won't dare to lie to you...
These boys stumbled into our hiding place, and seemed very curious and defenseless against us, so we took the drug and attacked them...
We, we just want to get our people back... Ask Master Wen for advice! ”
After saying this, as if thinking of something, he knelt down and crawled to Su Yange's side, took out their baggage, returned to Wen Ye, lifted the burden above his head, and said tremblingly:
"Text... Master Wen, this is their thing, you see... Is there anything you're looking for...? ”
Wen Ye took one of the burdens, shook it in his hand and said:
"I don't think you dare to play any tricks, haha..."
That Wen Ye seemed to be happy, and bent down in front of everyone and patted the old man's shoulder, then straightened up and ordered:
"Come on, take them away."
"Yes, Master Wen."
The mountain bandit also walked over quickly, supporting one person in twos and twos, they should all be martial arts practitioners, and their strength was great enough, they could actually set them up, and half-dragged and half-dragged back.
Seeing that they left first, Master Wen turned around and took the remaining burden in the old man's hand, and said with a smile:
"That's good, there are five of them this time, and after a while, we'll send the five of you, wait patiently, and continue!"
"Yes, yes!"
The old man hurriedly replied by prostrating himself on the ground, and the rest of the villagers also lowered their bodies and did not dare to speak.
Wen Ye seemed very satisfied, and left with a smile...
When he was far away, the old man dared to stand up and wipe his sweat.
"Grandpa... You said these sons would be fine, right?"
Ngawang also stood up, walked over to the old man, and asked with some concern.
"Alas... I can't help myself. ”
The old man also sighed sadly and shook his head:
"Your father is still in the hands of those people, I don't know if the five people will send him back this time... Grandpa's heart is a little more down-to-earth..."
When Ngawang heard this, he frowned and looked a little guilty:
"Grandpa, you say... Are we harmful? These sons know the truth, but they still don't hurt us... I felt a little uneasy. ”
"Ngawang... We have no choice but to do it. ”
The old man also raised his head with his eyes closed and took a deep breath, looking a little older...
On the other side, Lu Zhi'an and the others were also taken all the way back to the village, and halfway through Mo Chen secretly opened his eyes, observed it, and found that the village was the village he saw yesterday...
I don't know how long later, several people were left in a room one after another, and they all opened their eyes when they locked the door and left.
The five of them quickly broke free of the rope, moved their shoulders, and gathered together to discuss.
"Lord Wang... When I entered the village, I took a look, and it was the village I saw yesterday. ”
Mo Chen first stated his findings, and then said:
"After entering the village, I found that there were also several teams of people patrolling along the way, and a rough calculation was less than 100 people...
What's more, this is just a sneak peek, and the subordinates think... There should be more than just these people in this stockade... Probably more. ”
"Hmm..."
Lu Zhian nodded in understanding, and then said:
"They're not like mountain bandits... I suspect that this is a base set up, and in order to meet someone, they will evacuate as soon as the matter is over.
Arresting people is also nothing more than a cover to make them look like villains... When the time comes, they will naturally let us go. ”
"Hmm... I also find it strange. ”
Xie Qingji listened to Lu Zhian's analysis and nodded in agreement:
"Could it be... The one who prays to the heavens? ”
"Possibly."
Lu Zhi'an had a straight face, frowned, as if he thought of something, stood up and approached the door, poked a small hole in the door paper with his fingers, observed it, looked at how few people were nearby, and then turned back and said:
"Let's find out who they are."
"It's too conspicuous to go out now, wait until the evening to see if we will relax a little, and we can also move conveniently."
Xie Qingji nodded and proposed.
"It's fine."
Lu Zhian was the first to nod, while Su Yange listened to their discussion and pondered something.
On the other side, Wen Ye entered a more ornately decorated room, and the two nobles were sitting and drinking tea.
Master Wen went in and saluted respectfully to one of the sons and said:
"Today, those villagers have arrested five more people, looking at their dress, they should not be ordinary people, and their subordinates have placed them in a room... Young master, do you want to go and see? ”
"No need, just let them go when the time comes, and if they play any tricks, waste some hands and feet as punishment."
The boy just drank his tea, lowered his eyes and seemed to be careless.
"The subordinates found this in the baggage of one of them..."
Wen Ye thought about it, took out a bracelet from his sleeve, and handed it to the young man.
The boy's hand paused slightly, reached out and took the bracelet and turned it around, and there were three words engraved on it: Mu Wanzhou!
"What is this?"
The boy looked at the bracelet and frowned.
"Childe, my subordinates are thinking... Could there be someone among them that Miss Mu admires? Avoid extraneous complications... You see...? ”
This is what Master Wen wanted, and he bent over and said.
"Then let's go and see if we can ask something."
The boy nodded, pondered in his heart and agreed.
"Since Young Master Jiang has something, then Wan will not stay longer, and the matter is settled."
Another son, who listened to their conversation, also stood up and saluted slightly.
"Wan Gongzi, don't worry, let An send you out."
Young Master Jiang also hurriedly returned with a smile, and then stood up as well.
The two of them smiled thoughtfully, raised their feet and walked out side by side, and Master Wen also hurriedly followed behind Young Master Jiang.
Went out of the house together, laughing and talking about something, hearing the movement, Su Yange reacted first, walked to the door and looked out secretly, and there were three people coming here dozens of meters away.
As the people got closer and closer, Su Yange finally saw the appearance of the three people clearly.
The last one is what kind of Wen Ye... The two people in front of them don't seem to be low, and Master Wen looks respectful.
Su Yange tried to look at the face of one of them again, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, that person was not...
Isn't that the reception doorman of Xun'an Temple at the beginning, Wan'an?
But when his gaze turned to another, Su Yange's eyes couldn't help but widen a little more... The man was...
"What's wrong with Ayan?"
Lu Zhian watched her observe for a long time, and walked over and asked softly.
Su Yange hurriedly straightened up and said with a serious face:
"Someone came, it seems that he is a person who speaks with some weight, and that Wen Ye looks respectful."
"Then we'll be by the door, waiting for him to come in... Catch, let's talk about the conditions again. ”
When Chang Feng heard what Su Yange said, he also smiled a little excitedly.
As he was talking, the footsteps seemed to be coming, and the five of them hurriedly squatted down and ambushed.
Without any hesitation, someone pushed the door in, and the moment the door was opened, Mo Chen rushed over first, as if there was only one person.
The man didn't seem to expect that he would be subdued before he could react...
"Ahem."
The man was directly choked, unable to move, and coughed twice.
Su Yange hurriedly came up to see who he was, and the man was also looking up at her with a gloomy face, it didn't matter what he looked at, but the two of them exclaimed in unison:
"Jiang Chendu!"
"Hiko... Hikoshi?! ”
