Volume 1 Crossing the rivers and lakes and wading into temples Chapter 23 The Bad Emperor
At the foot of Qishan Mountain, Lin Zhijiang and Huangfu Leng immediately rushed over with the Longjia Army after receiving the report from Xiao Liuzi, and the city was guarded by the Longwu Army and the Daofu Yamen to prevent the enemy from rebelling again, causing panic among the people.
Xiao Liuzi was in front, Lin Zhijiang followed behind with the Dragon Armor Army, and the team drove into the Qishan Mountain Range. Kageqi didn't follow, and continued to stay in the city to investigate what he thought was wrong. After Huangfu Leng arrived at Qishan, he did not follow the army, but took more than 20 people from the Inspectorate to search in another direction.
On the other side, Ye Chen and Zou Hu fought and retreated with the only four remaining people, several of whom were more or less wounded, while the remaining brothers did not hesitate to take their own lives in order to cover the evacuation of Zou Hu and Ye Chen. Fortunately, everyone was not disappointed, and several people had completely escaped the encirclement, and all that remained was to figure out how to leave the notice to inform the army. However, everyone ran too quickly, and no one could discern the direction, and now they didn't know where they were, and the group of six could only roughly identify the direction of the inner city of Annam Province through the location of the sun.
Ye Chen and Zou Hu covered up the traces left by everyone as they ran, trying to avoid a head-on battle with the enemy again. Because whether it was the two of them or Ge Si, they no longer had any physical strength, and besides, everyone was injured.
Ye Chen opened his mouth and said to Zou Hu: "If nothing else, our army should have entered the mountains to search, and we must find the army to join us as soon as possible." ”
Zou Hu lowered his head and said, "Then how do we go now?" Several pro-soldiers, including Zou Hu, have no idea now, and they all regard Ye Chen as the backbone.
Ye Chen replied: "If the army enters the mountain, it will definitely travel in the same direction as us, and there are traces of our fighting on the road, it should not be too difficult to find the camp of the Blood Knife Gate." ”
Ge Si asked on the side, "Then will the gate be evacuated before the army searches the mountain?" ”
Ye Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Ge Si, startled Ge Si, thinking that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly closed his mouth, and muttered in his heart, how to turn his face and turn his face, didn't he fight to the death together just now!
Ye Chen said with a smile: "Thanks to Ge Si's reminder, the enemy will run, according to their previous deployment in the city, there must be a master among them." Now that we have been discovered, we will definitely be prepared to move the rescue troops, and if nothing else, we must have guessed that we are from the government or the war barracks. Therefore, if I were that principal, I would have given the order to retreat with supplies now. ”
Zou Hu nodded and said, "What should I do then?" You can't just let them run away, they have hurt the lives of several of our brothers. ”
Ye Chen looked at the direction he had just walked and said, "I'll go back, you guys hurry up to find General Lin and the Dragon Armor Army." ”
Zou Hu smiled flatteringly: "Now it's time for me to give orders, I'm the team leader, and you're nothing now." I'll go back, you take Ge Si and them to General Lin. ”
Ye Chen said with a firm expression: "Brother, I know how to hide myself in the mountains, and I am very confident that none of you can compare to me." He glanced at the few people around him and continued: "I think, just after fighting all the way, everyone knows what kind of ability I have, I dare not say that I am walking on the ground in the mountains, but at least I am much faster than you, so it is most appropriate for me to go, and it is also for the good of everyone." ”
Ge Si came and said: "Team Zheng, what did he say just now?" What do you mean? ”
Zou Hu said seriously: "Usually you don't listen to me when you ask me to learn more, but now you know to ask?" ”
Ge Si smiled wryly: "What does that mean? ”
Zou Hu said with a smile: "It means that it can run very well." ”
Ge Si turned his head and looked at Ye Chen again, hoping to get his affirmation, but who knew that Ye Chen looked around, as if he didn't see it.
Half an hour later, Lin Zhijiang led the Dragon Armor Army to search quickly, not letting go of any suspicious places. But forty or fifty feet away, there was a figure lying quietly on the trunk of a tree, looking at them motionlessly. After a few moments, the man slowly slid down the trunk of the tree and quickly ran towards the camp of the Blood Knife Gate.
Lin Zhijiang walked at the forefront of the army, looking at the map in his hand from time to time and comparing it with the surrounding terrain. He stopped, called two Wupin captains who commanded a battalion, and quickly advanced on both sides of the army, in case Ye Chen and the others were in trouble and the rescue was not timely.
Although Huangfu Leng on the other side had not yet found Ye Chen and his party, what he didn't know was that Ye Chen was not too far away from him. In order not to disturb the enemy, everyone also tried to keep quiet during the march.
At this time, Ye Chen had already separated from Zou Hu and the others, and went deep into the tiger's den by himself, although he was also nervous in his heart, but there was no way, who let this group of people hurt Qin Xiaoqin, and the brother's revenge still had to be avenged by himself!
Ye Chen looked at the col he had just come, except for the tent that had not been removed, the rest of the supplies and clothes had disappeared. Being able to react in such a short period of time and quickly withdraw all the supplies, it seems that the people of the Blood Knife Gate are really not simple. He followed the trails left along the Blood Knife Gate and followed it all the way. After all, the speed of the march of the large army was not comparable to that of a person, so after Ye Chen chased for five or six miles, he found this group of people.
Ye Chen followed behind for a while, and he obviously found that the number of boxes of these people was wrong, not as many as he had seen at the time. After careful observation and observation, Ye Chen found that the number of people was only one hundred and ten. But two hours ago, he saw three or four hundred people. Therefore, Ye Chen guessed that they were divided into two ways, and the people he followed were only about one-third of them, and more than half of them went along the other road, and most of the materials should be in the hands of the other team.
After following for about half a mile, a person at the back of the team suddenly trotted in the direction of Ye Chen with a knife, and at this time, Ye Chen wanted to retreat and dodge, so he could only lie in place in the grass behind the tree. A moment later, there was a sparse sound of water flowing, accompanied by the man's whistle. Ye Chen was so depressed, his face was constantly being slapped by the splash of water bouncing off the blades of grass, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of being discovered by that person. After the man was finished, he even shook his body, which made Ye Chen want to go up and kick him. After the man left, Ye Chen raised his cuffs and wiped them on his face fiercely, and kept chanting: "Don't let Lao Tzu catch you, otherwise I will let you taste what Lao Tzu tastes like!" ”
Just as Ye Chen was wiping his face, he felt that someone was coming behind him, and he didn't look at it immediately, and stabbed out behind him with his backhand, but he fell into the air. Ye Chen got up and wanted to run, but he was pressed to the ground by the other party, and his mouth was blocked. After Ye Chen saw the person in front of him clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the person who came was Huangfu Leng.
Before a stick of incense, Huangfu Leng found their traces on the ground, and he asked his men from the Inspectorate to continue to search along the way, while he ran wildly. Because he found a lot of crossbow arrows on the trunks and ground, and the crossbow arrows did not have the special logo of the Chinese army, he concluded that the other party was not just an assassination organization as the intelligence said. If he guessed it, then Ye Chen and Lin Zhijiang's personal soldiers would be very dangerous. Therefore, the cold-faced Hades rushed over by himself.
Huangfu looked coldly at Ye Chen, who was pressed to the ground by himself, and exclaimed: "The kid has a good reaction and is very sensitive. ”
Ye Chen screamed "whining", signaling Huangfu Leng to quickly let go of his mouth. Huangfu slowly removed his hand, sniffed and said, "What kind of smell?" ”
With an embarrassed look on his face, Ye Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the leaves that were still dripping in front of him, and then pointed to a group of enemies in front of him. Huangfu looked at Ye Chen with cold disgust, stepped back and asked suspiciously, "...... on your face?" Didn't you? ”
Ye Chen turned his head to look at the group of people from the Blood Knife Gate and didn't answer him, Huangfu Leng seemed to think of something, and slowly put his palm to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, nauseating for a while. Ye Chen trembled with laughter, but he couldn't make a sound, and his face was flushed.
Just when Huangfu Leng had nowhere to put his hand, there were bursts of bird calls behind him, which was the signal of their secret contact with the Inspectorate. Huangfu Leng also learned the bird's call and replied, and after a while, he saw a man in a black brocade robe running over quickly with his waist hunched over. Huangfu looked at him coldly with admiration on his face, and the hand that had just touched Ye Chen's mouth pressed on the black brocade robe, and said in his mouth: "The young man is good, he came in time." As he spoke, his hands kept rubbing and rubbing against the man.
The guy from the inspector's department is called Haizi, he is Qin Xiaoqin's subordinate, this time Qin Xiaoqin was injured, and he was temporarily transferred by Huangfu Leng to follow him to investigate the case. Haizi saw that he was so praised by Huangfu Leng, and his heart blossomed, you must know that Huangfu Leng is a celebrity next to His Majesty today, and he is still the head of the Inspectorate Department, and it is usually difficult to even meet and say a word, let alone the head of the department to encourage him so closely. At this time, he wanted to go home and hang up the black brocade robe on his body, but what he didn't know was that this Huangfu was also a thief and a thief. Ye Chen on the side couldn't help but smile and said, "Lord Huangfu, don't wipe it, it's bald." After hearing this, Huangfu took away his hand in a daze, and looked at the enemy in front of him as if nothing happened!
Ye Chen said: "Lord Huangfu, these people and materials are only a small part of them, and more than half of the people and materials don't know where they went. ”
Huangfu frowned coldly and said, "I'm afraid there are not even supplies in this box, and these people should be just outcasts." ”
Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Lord Huangfu, why did you say this." ”
Huangfu replied coldly: "If you take a closer look at these people, there can be a few young adults in them, and it is estimated that they can't even find ten." As I expected, these people are all fronts, and the real enemy and the supplies you spoke of should have been moved elsewhere. ”
Huangfu Leng turned his head to Hai Zi, who was still excited, and said, "You immediately go and inform the brothers behind you to follow this gang, and then contact General Lin to annihilate them in one fell swoop." Haizi nodded and turned to do it.
Ye Chen followed Huangfu Leng and walked back, checking the camp of the Blood Knife Gate in the col again, to see if there was any information about the other team.
