Chapter 47: Failed Infiltration (172/488)
At dusk, there is still a peaceful scene in the Hongshan Water Village, Ma Sihu's brothers are searching for the traces of Ye Jiuniang outside, and the owner of the village, Sun Qian, is in a bad mood because of the things in the past few days, and he keeps training the military division responsible for the defense of the water village, so that the people of the cottage can strengthen the defense and inspect the granary, so as to avoid being exploited again.
On the dirt road outside Hongshan Lake, two horses stopped beside the wooden frame with human skins, Xu Buling walked up to look at it a few times, nodded and said:
"This should be it."
The nightingale removed the blade from the side of the horse, and was a little worried:
"There is no village in front of the village and no store here, how can you inquire about the situation?"
The two arrived at Hongshan Lake yesterday, and they wanted to find out the situation of Hongshan Water Village and then go to find the trapped Zhongli master and apprentice, but it is a pity that the people in the villages around the Hongshan Lake bandits have either joined the bandits, or they have already moved, and there is no one within a radius of dozens of miles.
Xu Buling glanced at the traces on the snow surface, and followed the footprints in the direction of Hongshan Lake: "How else can I inquire and find someone to ask." So saying, he lightly grabbed the horse's belly and marched towards the lake.
There are dense forests on the left and right, and the road is winding and the terrain is very bad, depending on the surrounding situation.
Xu Buling rode his horse for a leisurely stroll, and after entering the fork in the road and walking less than a hundred paces, there was a slight sound of 'clicking' in the dense forest—the sound of opening a bow.
Xu Buling didn't even turn his head, his toes hooked the long lance on the side of the horse, and threw it directly.
Sa –
The dragon-patterned lance pierced into the dense forest with a sharp sound of breaking the wind, and after a muffled sound of gold and iron penetrating the flesh, the feathered arrow that had lost its head flew out of the woods and landed on the road.
Xu Buling turned over and dismounted, and walked into the woods beside the road, where the water bandits, who were hiding in the canopy of the trees and firing their bows, were nailed to the tree by the long lance piercing their chests, and their hands were still clutching the mallet, and a hoarse sound of 'uh-uh-' came out of their throats.
The nightingale looked up, spread out her hand and said, "Childe, you have a mouthful." ”
Xu Buling flew up and pulled out the lance, wiping the blood from the corpse:
"The road is not wrong, Hongshan Lake is too big, it is not easy to find someone, Zhongli Chuchu must be hiding in the mountains and forests, make some movement to attract the attention of the water bandits, they will naturally come to us when they get out."
The nightingale nodded, picked up the iron-tired bow and quiver from the bandit's body, and followed Xu Buling:
"What's going on?"
"Murder and arson."
Xu Buling responded casually, and then walked into the depths of the fork in the road with a long lance, and came to the shore of Hongshan Lake, where more than a dozen water bandits sat on the small pier, and two small boats to and from the water village were moored.
It was snowing and the weather was very cold, and a dozen or so water bandits should be the guards of the docks, all of them were around the broken shed at this time roasting braziers, and the little leader was a bald man, with a big knife leaning on his side, and was rubbing his hands to tell the big events of the previous days:
"Do you know why Boss Ma is so atmospheric? I heard that when our Boss Shi inquired and ran over to pull people away, Boss Ma was lying on the table, and the thin master was lying on Boss Ma, ouch~~......"
"Tut-tut...... How could a man as strong as Boss Ma lie down below, and the thin master has the strength? ”
"Master didn't drink, he was sober at the time, and I heard that it was Boss Ma who had a spring ......"
"Huh......"
Many water bandits rubbed their arms, and their faces were full of words.
Xu Buling walked silently outside the shed, stood for a long time and saw that these guards did not react, and coughed lightly:
"Ahem—"
The little leader who was talking like a river thought that Boss Ma was coming, so he was so frightened that he looked back and saw that it was a rich boy in a white robe, and he was stunned.
The water bandit next to him was also inexplicable, and after a few glances left and right, someone scolded towards the woods:
"Zhu Laosan, how the hell did you put the whistle?!"
The little leader obviously walked through the rivers and lakes, and when he saw the long lance in Xu Buling's hand, his eyes showed a little surprise, and when he saw that Xu Buling came alone, and there didn't seem to be officers and soldiers behind him, he stood up and held the big knife beside him:
"Friends on that road? Seeking refuge or looking for someone? ”
Xu Buling looked at the Hongshan Lake in the back, and the fire of the water village in the distance was faintly visible, and he thought that it was the Hongshan Water Village. He raised his hand and clenched his fist:
"The eagle finger scattered Xu Shanshan, who has had a relationship with the master of Sun Zhai, came to worship the mountain."
The little leader nodded, waved his hand behind his back slightly, and continued to be polite:
"It turned out to be a friend of the owner of the village, where is the brother messing around, I haven't heard the name of the eagle finger scattered people before......"
The minions were still organic, and they stood up quietly and walked to the large brazier set up on the dock. The brazier is used to communicate, and as soon as the water village on the opposite side is lit, it knows that there is an enemy situation and makes preparations in advance.
Seeing this, Xu Buling stopped his polite words and raised his hand slightly.
Sa –
Feathered arrows shot out of the woods and were nailed to the back of the bandit's head without even snorting, and he fell straight down.
The little leader reacted very quickly, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately drew his knife and slashed, and the minions who reacted slowly for half a beat were frightened enough, and hurriedly grabbed the knife soldiers next to him.
Xu Buling was unhurried, and with a long lance in his hand, he swept through thousands of armies in one stroke, and swept through the many water bandits gathered together.
The sleeve robe rolled up in the wind and snow, and the blood light flew away, and the two-foot lance blade slashed over the water bandits without the slightest hindrance, and by the way, cut off the pillars supporting the wooden shed.
Click-
The thatched hut of the wooden shed collapsed, burying the few screams that had just been uttered under the rubble.
"Ahh
A few of the water bandits who were standing far away were terrified, and they threw away their swords and ran to the boat by the lake, but as soon as they took a few steps, the feather arrow struck from behind, piercing through the back of the neck, and they didn't even have time to scream.
In an instant, the still lively sentry box turned into a dead silence.
Xu Buling put away his lance, came to the small fishing boat by the lake, and untied the rope tied to the wooden post.
The nightingale ran out of the woods with a longbow, and one jumped into the boat, with a little excitement in his eyes:
"Childe, I killed someone...... Oops~"
Xu Buling raised his hand and flicked it on the door of the nightingale's head, with a serious face, and said:
"If you do this again, I won't take you out in the future. Killing people is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, just like going to the battlefield, just to achieve the goal, you should not feel guilty and blame yourself, let alone take pleasure in it. ”
"Oh......"
This time it hurt a little, and the nightingale had tears in her eyes, rubbed her forehead a few times, and stopped talking.
Xu Buling's scholar Ning Yuhe's appearance, rowing a small boat to Hongshan Shan Village, said softly;
"Sneak into the water village later, just get rid of the sentry, don't alarm the other bandits......"
The nightingale pursed her lips and glanced weakly at Xu Buling's back:
"I think I've already alarmed ......"
"Huh?"
Xu Buling frowned, and looked back at Fang Cai's small dock, but saw that Fang Cai's collapsed thatched hut was lit by the brazier inside, and it had already ignited a raging flame, which was extremely eye-catching in the snowy night.
"Uh...... Mistakes ......"
