Chapter 13: Maze of the Wind Forest

"What else do we have to do?" Mo Buyu asked Xiang Shan Chen Wei and Gu Xutang. The two glanced at Gonggong Zou, Gonggong Zou got up slowly, and a sharp voice sounded: "A few of you are going to recover the million silver taels accumulated by the Wang family over the years." ”

Including Dong Yun, the four of them were extremely puzzled. Gonggong Zou obviously saw through the minds of several people, and said slowly: "The Wang family, for many years has been operating various businesses, and has accumulated a lot of wealth over the generations, the forbidden army did not find these silver taels when they raided the Wang family's house, they must be hidden in a secret place outside the city, after the Wang family escapes, they will go to retrieve this large amount of money for a comeback, what you have to do is to follow the Wang family's party, and when they get back the money, they will intercept it in one fell swoop, understand." ”

The four of them nodded, it has been several months since the Wang rebellion, and Jianye City has not stopped searching for the remnants, and now that Cao Ji has appeared, he can't imagine that there are people from Northern Qin to help escape, it seems that these big clan gate lords are really intertwined, and they can not be eradicated so easily.

Gu Xujin handed the two portraits to Dong Yun and the four people, namely Wang Pingyao and Wang Shumi, and the four of them looked around for a long time, and Gu Xujin told the four of them one by one the marks left by the tracking spies in the Admiral's Mansion. After the four of them had memorized it firmly, Shan Chen Wei asked Dong Yun to go to the staff office to order a team of government soldiers, and the other three went down to prepare well and set off immediately.

Zou Gonggong also got up and left the council hall, he did not go back to the palace directly, taking advantage of the gap prepared by several people, he stopped Mo Buyu and ordered a few words, Mo Buyu heard the words, his brows were tightened, but he still nodded, Zou Gonggong smiled slightly, and left the military department to go back to the palace.

The weather has been cold for a few days, and the first snow of the year will soon fall. After Dong Yun ordered the government soldiers, he also prepared his own items, and waited in the courtyard, and the three of them came out one after another, and after they converged, they rode their horses to the north gate. All the way to follow the marks left by the spies, near noon found the traces of the carriage, everyone hurried to the road, after a while, came to a dense forest outside the city, this forest is called the wind forest by the locals, through the wind forest to the wind forest ferry, this ferry is not big, and has been abandoned for a long time, but this waterway extends in all directions, once the rest of the Wang family is on the boat, then the destination is more difficult to trace.

Dong Yun let everyone quickly pass through the wind forest, Mo Liuxing was at the forefront, behind him were Dong Yun, Mo Buyu and a group of government soldiers, and Sun Lin was at the end. Just after Mo Buyu and Dong Yun entered the wind forest, they vaguely felt that the surrounding atmosphere was a little weird, and Dong Yun didn't have time to stop Mo Liu at the beginning, only to see a sudden burst of crossbow arrows shooting towards everyone around.

Mo Liushi was alert, he waved a few times quickly with a short knife in both hands, blocking a few crossbow arrows, but the horses under the seat could not avoid it, and they were stabbed several strongly, the horses were in pain, and jumped up frantically, Mo Liugao jumped high, jumped off the mount, and at the same time, all the arrows in his sleeves were shot, and flew to the depths of the dense forest where the crossbow arrows came, and he heard a few arrows in his sleeves hitting the trees, he quickly found a big tree, hid behind the trees, and kept looking at the dense forest opposite.

Dong Yun followed Mo Liu into the wind forest, and as soon as the crossbow bolts came over, he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone be careful! Before the words fell, the crossbow arrows flew out in bursts, and the soldiers of the staff office waved their blades in a panic to resist, but it didn't take long for them to be hit and dismounted, and several people were injured and sat on the ground, unable to resist for a while, Dong Yun and Mo Buyu quickly jumped off the horse, and the long swords in their hands threw out layers of sword flowers, blocking in front of the fallen soldiers to resist the crossbow arrows.

Sun Lin heard the wailing sound in front of him, kicked his feet hard, jumped up from the horse, jumped into the dense forest, just landed, several crossbow arrows flew towards the door in front of him, he dodged sideways, looked at the depths of the wind forest, the trees were bare in winter, it stands to reason that the figure could be seen shaking very clearly, but at this moment in the depths of the wind forest, there seems to be a layer of fog around, Sun Lin stared for a long time, and vaguely caught some figures. He walked a few quick steps and moved closer to Mo Buyu and Dong Yun.

Dong Yun and Mo Buyu pulled a few injured government soldiers and hid behind a few big trees, temporarily dodging the crossbow arrows. Sun Lin soon came behind the two and whispered, "It's weird. Dong Yun looked in the direction of the fog and said with some anxiety: "There should be a maze." Mo Buyu hadn't seen the maze, so he asked more directly: "How to break it?" ”

Sun Lin didn't speak, he quickly condensed his consciousness and sensed movement in the depths of the dense forest. After a while, he waved his hand and pointed to the northwest direction, Dong Yun saw this, picked up a Pu knife of an injured government soldier, and threw it out violently, and in less than a moment, a miserable scream came out of the fog. Sun Lin pointed in the direction of the north again, without hesitation, the long sword in his hand flew out, and a crisp blade crash sound came from the fog. Sun Lin ran forward a few steps quickly, leaned back against a boulder, picked up a few small stones on the ground, and quickly plunged into the fog, and a sound of stones and blades colliding arose.

Suddenly, the mist quieted down, the crossbow bolts did not fly out again, Mo Liu quickly moved closer to the direction of the mist, Sun Lin saw Mo Liu going, he jumped out of the boulder in one step and followed behind him. Dong Yun asked the soldiers to hide first and not come out rashly, while himself and Mo Buyu also walked quickly towards the fog.

As soon as Mo Liu rushed to the front of the mist, a Mo knife slashed at him, he crossed his hands with short knives, and framed the blade of the Mo knife, the blade of the Mo knife was narrower than the ordinary long knife, and the opponent turned sharply, and got rid of Mo Liu's double knife, and then slashed horizontally, straight out of the arc, forcing Mo Liu back.

Sun Lin quickly stepped forward, condensed the aura of Aoki with one hand, and slapped the blade of the Mo knife with one palm, and when the opponent saw this, he suddenly withdrew the knife, and with his left hand, he sacrificed the golden stone knife and directly faced Sun Lin. The two of them fought together, and Sun Lin was shocked back, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his palm.

The opponent stood in place, with a knife horizontal, and everyone saw that this was a middle-aged man, dressed in a woolen coat common to northern horse dealers, with a medium stature, deep eyebrows and eyes, and a faint strength all over his body.

Dong Yun's attention is not on the person who came, but has been paying attention to the fog, and now it can be concluded that the horse dealer who disappeared in Jianye City before must be related to the Wang family, and after the wind forest is the ferry, the other party has laid a maze here, obviously to delay time, he is very secretive and maze, and the three of them immediately understood.

The four of them moved at the same time, rushing towards the maze in four directions, the middle-aged horse dealer didn't expect this hand, he raised his knife to stop Dong Yun, and the two immediately intersected and fought together on the edge of the mist. The other three quickly rushed into the maze, and as soon as they entered the maze, another burst of crossbow arrows attacked, Sun Lin's hands formed sword fingers, and the swords around his body turned quickly, knocking the crossbow arrows to the ground. Mo Buyu and Mo Liu were not far apart, and after entering the maze, the two of them quickly waved the blades in their hands one after the other, blocking the crossbow arrows one by one. As soon as the crossbow arrows passed, a figure suddenly shook in the mist, and more than a dozen capable horse dealers attacked the three in an orderly manner.

Sun Lin shot quickly, the sword pointed smartly, and after a while, he knocked down two horse dealers, and two of them saw Sun Lin's methods, they didn't fight hard, they dragged their injured companions out of a section, and after hiding in the fog, they saw the opportunity to attack, and attacked Sun Lin from time to time, just to entangle and prevent him from breaking out easily.

Mo Buyu and Mo Liu were surrounded by eight horse dealers, the two cooperated tacitly, and quickly killed the two, and the remaining six horse dealers saw this, and did not retreat, but divided into two teams, one in front, and the other two on one side, forming an attack formation, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. Mo Buyu and Mo Liu had received military formation training in Longyuan, and the two of them instantly understood that this group of Northern Qin horse dealers was a sergeant. The two of them had a heavy force in their hands, and the strength of the blades was condensed, and they strongly suppressed the two teams of sergeants.

Sun Lin lingered in the fog for a while, and saw that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the two horse dealers attacked from time to time, and he couldn't find an exit for a while, so he quickly retreated following the sound of the fight between Dong Yun and the middle-aged horse dealer. As soon as he got out of the maze, he saw Dong Yun and the middle-aged horse dealer slamming their palms together, and the energy around them exploded layer by layer, and the fighting was evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

Sun Lin didn't step forward to help, he concentrated again, and quickly spread his divine sense, in the mist, the air of water and earth was strong, and he vaguely felt that the momentum of the nine palaces and eight gates was running, the water gas should be in the Kan Palace, and the earth qi should be in the Kun and Gen palaces, and the divine consciousness should be as much as possible

After a moment, he opened his eyes suddenly, staring at a bare tree on the edge of the mist. Sun Lin walked over quickly, the middle-aged horse dealer noticed Sun Lin's movements, he tried his best to get rid of Dong Yun, slashed horizontally, and wanted to turn back, Dong Yun saw Sun Lin rushing towards the tree, and instantly understood his intentions, he used the long sword to skillfully pick away the Mo knife, and with an arrow step, stopped the middle-aged horse dealer.

Sun Lin then came to the big tree, since the maze is arrayed with water and earth, then the balance will be broken, and the maze will be self-defeating. The roots of the big tree in front of him are coiled, deep into the soil, this group of North Qin people take this as the eye, running the water and soil, at this time it is a harsh winter, the water is abundant, the aquatic wood, the wood is the soil, thinking of this, Sun Lin condensed the green wood in his hand, and slapped the trunk with a heavy palm, the whole big tree shook violently, and the withered yellow leaves were scattered all over the ground, after a while, Sun Lin clapped several palms one after another, only to see some green mangs faintly around the roots, looking at the fog, a large piece of fog slowly dissipated, drifting towards Sun Lin. In a few moments, the fog dissipated.

Seeing that the fog had dissipated, the two horse dealers hurriedly slashed at Sun Lin, Sun Lin came up to him, waved his two palms, and slapped them on the blades of the two people, and the other party suddenly felt a pain in his mouth, and almost didn't hold the Mo knife. The staff officers in the wind forest hurriedly raised their knives and surrounded the two horse dealers, and after a fight, the two were killed on the spot by the government soldiers. Sun Lin looked at the corpses of the two, and suddenly sighed a little, although he didn't kill them with his own hands, he had some strange feelings that he couldn't explain.

The maze was broken, Mo Buyu and Mo Liu were a little stunned in the formation, and the two teams of horse dealers who fought together were quite surprised, taking advantage of the opponent's distraction, Mo Buyu sacrificed Kun with both hands, exchanged the two hexagrams, and waved them out in an arc trajectory, the two teams of horse dealers saw the hexagram coming, raised their knives to gather their energy, and wanted to stop them, but two short knives flew out of the side, accurately cutting the throats of the outermost two horse dealers. The remaining four people swung their knives with all their might, knocked away the hexagram, and then approached each other, and formed an army formation, stubbornly resisting Mo Buyu and Mo Liu.

The situation on the field has fallen to Dong Yun's side, and the soldiers of the staff office have also surrounded him, and when the middle-aged horse dealer saw this, the Mo knife slashed out and slashed at Dong Yunjian's body, Dong Yun felt that the knife was heavy, and he could only gather his strength to shake away the Mo knife. The middle-aged horse dealer had already prepared, and he took advantage of Dong Yun's sword swing, and the whole person quickly retreated in the direction of the mist.

This retreat, just retreated to Mo Buyu and Mo Liu's side, Mo Liu saw him coming, without saying a word, the two short knives were thrown out again, and flew straight to the back of the middle-aged horse dealer. Before the knife arrived, I saw that the middle-aged horse dealer's back suddenly condensed a hexagram image, the short knife hit the hexagram, paused for a moment, the middle-aged horse dealer immediately turned around, and the knife was horizontal, stopping the two short knives. He looked at Mo Liu and Mo Buyu viciously, and suddenly threw out the Mo knife in his hand, flying towards the two of them, and shouted at the same time: "Withdraw!" ”

Mo Buyu and Mo Liu saw Mo Dao coming, and hurriedly dodged sideways, and the four horse dealers took the opportunity to turn around immediately and jumped into the wind forest, waiting for Mo Buyu, Mo Liu, and Dong Yun stepped forward to catch up, and the middle-aged horse dealers were full of strength and stopped in front of the three.
