The one whose fate seemed to be the hardest was the officer who led the Praetorian Guard who was ordered by the emperor himself.

He is the leader, and even if the leader has to work, he will naturally do the lightest work. He didn't have to climb the mountain to reconnoiter the high places, but only hid people at the base of the mountain and went to the ravines, mountains, nests, woods, or something where his troops were most likely to hide. The flat and not dangerous place at the bottom of the mountain is not the grazing land of Liangshan, but also the natural habitat of free-range wild animals, livestock and animals run around at will, but you can't tell in advance like a person, you can't go, you can't pass, naturally you can't set up a lot of traps to prevent animal activities.

This is the reason why his life has gone smoothly.

But if there are no traps, there must be people on guard.

This old man didn't wear armor, nor did he wear a military uniform, only an inconspicuous ordinary gray shirt, light and flexible, he felt that he was sneaking very secretively, very successful, and was not discovered by the people of Liangshan, in fact, the activities at the foot of the mountain were stared at by the people grazing on the mountain, and it was difficult to hide the traces, not to mention that there were special people who had already secretly kept an eye on the Qincha team.

The officer hid in the woods at the foot of the hill and quickly groped into a hidden valley.

When he looked at it from a vantage point, he always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the woods and vines, perhaps a cave made of stone, or a large natural cave with a secret. Getting closer and closer, through the gap in the forest, he was pleasantly surprised to see the stone door, which was very large, but he couldn't see it without approaching the vines, it must have been deliberately disguised, and the secret must be here.

This huge cave built with stones and stone walls with vegetation and weeds and vines very much like a natural mountain, even if it is not a problem to hide 20,000 or 30,000 troops.

Look, this is the mountain river that communicates with the water, the water is not shallow, you can't see the bottom at a glance, presumably it is very convenient and effective to transport troops out of the mountain by boat, or to transfer troops to various places.

The more he pondered, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, he was afraid that there was a dark post nearby, so he tried to calm down and lurk and carefully observe the surroundings for a long time, but the ghost did not see a single one, there was no trace, but he was startled by the rumbling and frolicking movement of a large group of beasts that he did not know that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He thought it was a large army or something moving here, but in this shock, he suddenly felt something on his neck, and thought it was an insect and instinctively slapped it with his hand.

This shot was unlucky.

His hand was pierced with blood by something sharp, and it hurt deeply, so painful, and his neck suffered even more, and the sharp thing on his neck was pierced deeply by himself, almost all of it was submerged, and the trachea or esophagus deep in his neck were pierced, and a sharp stabbing pain was uncomfortable, and the pain made him tears fall.

In the midst of the crisis, the officer looked up in horror, but there was still no threat from the sky or the trees, and he turned his head sharply to look around, but still found nothing.

He was even more frightened, pulling out the long thorn painfully with one hand, drawing his sword with the other hand to guard against it, and then trying to take a good look around, but he felt that his eyes were not good.

No, it's a gradual loss of consciousness from the head to the whole body.

He fell headlong to the ground, breaking his head and bleeding without feeling the pain he deserved.

At this time, a colorful monster slowly appeared in a nest of thorns and weeds not far away, and slowly put away the blowpipe, naturally a person who had made a lurking disguise.

If he lies there and does not move, you may not be able to recognize that it is a person hiding there, even if you look closer.

The man was thin and walked almost silently, but in a blink of an eye he approached the limp officer, stretched out his hand and turned the officer over, so that the neck side of the middle needle was facing up, and then calmly opened the calf-thick bamboo tube hanging from his waist, and a snake head slowly stretched out of the bamboo tube, so beautiful but so terrible triangular head.

The man skillfully and agilely pinched the snake's seven inches, and with the other hand, he pinched the terrible snake's head more boldly and accurately, and then squatted down and calmly whispered to the officer under the watchful eye of the officer's wide open eyes: "Briefly introduce, this snake is our Chinese specialty, called Mangshan Soldering Iron Head, also known as Little Qinglong, you are very lucky, it is not enough for you to die under the mouth of Qinglong?" ”

As he spoke, amid the strange sound of the officer's desperate struggle to beg for mercy, he did not hesitate to aim one of the two fangs in the open snake's mouth at the small hole where he had just blown a needle and gently pressed it.

The little green dragon touched the flesh and immediately bit it down angrily.

The holes in the bite of the two snakes were left, but the piercing of the needles in the neck was gone.

In this way, even the gods were afraid and couldn't imagine that people were first shot with paralytic medicine and put down, and then poisoned by snake bites. This means of killing is perfect. The cause of death will only be that the officer did not listen to the prior warning of the people of Liangshan, and he did not know why, and he was unlucky enough to be bitten to death by a snake on a tree, it would not be a conspiracy, and his death was natural and reasonable.

The little green dragon spat out all the venom and let go of his mouth.

The man also took the snake's head away, threw the snake into the bamboo tube again, and the lid was immediately sealed.

Put away the snake. The man ignored the officer, carefully looked for the lost blow needle according to the series of actions of the officer who had observed before, found it and put it away, left no suspicious murder weapon, and then crouched in the secret place and blended into the surrounding environment, quietly observing and listening to the surroundings, making sure that no one else would see this scene, and the officer was also poisoned to death, and he sorted out the traces that might be detected and suspicious by someone who was careful about the almost unrecognizable footprints on the scene.

The murder scene was faked, and after confirming that there was no problem, OK, the scene was perfect.

Mission accomplished, go.

Looking back and saying that the leader of the secret spy division who had a broken leg didn't know how long it took to wake up from a coma, he had become weak and weak due to excessive blood loss, but he still gritted his teeth and slowly pulled the broken leg out of the crack in the stone to save himself, and there was a heart-rending pain, so painful that his face was distorted and unable to form a human shape, but the blow to his heart was the heaviest.

He was shocked to see that his leg had been severed from his knee.

That's the end of it.

Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even in the 21st century, if the knee is broken, it will not be able to pick it up, and if you want to continue walking, you can only install a prosthetic.

And for an agent like him, his leg is broken, not only is his career ruined, but I am afraid that if the above is to keep it secret, his life will be over.

He already felt that life was rapidly flowing away from him, even as he struggled desperately to tear his clothes in pain, and had already tightened his broken leg, basically stopping the loss of blood and killing him.

The body is getting chills and stiffening. This is a sign of death coming.

At this time, out of love for his precious life, he could no longer care about anything, and desperately fought to cry out for help.

"Someone, save me. Come on, come on, come on......"

He shouted as hard as he could, but his weak life didn't support him to shout too loudly.

The sound echoed in this desolate and uninhabited wilderness, weakened by the layers of lush mountains, forests, vines and other vegetation to block the sound waves, and it couldn't be transmitted far at all, only seemed so desolate and helpless, gradually becoming weaker and weaker, the cry was intermittent, and then, it became a faint cry for help in despair, not to mention the distance, even the people more than ten meters away nearby were disturbed by the noise of mountain wind and birdsong, and it was difficult to hear it, as if he was not speaking out for help, but only for self-comfort or self-deprecating muttering before dying.

No one will come to his rescue.

Xue Bi and his entourage preached the condolences of the imperial court all the way to the other side of the deeper part of Liangshan today, and they couldn't hear the shouts for help from this side at all.

No of his accomplices could be heard in the vicinity.

His companion died before him in the murderous vine on the northern slope of Qinglong Mountain, and at most he could only wait for him at the Ghost Gate Pass of the Difu, and he could no longer support him as before.

As for the Liangshan people in Qinglong Mountain, not to mention that they didn't hear the call for help, even if they heard it, they pretended to be deaf and dumb and would never save him.

If he dares to trespass with malice, he will be punished and die here.

He just shouted and cut his throat, and it was useless for his voice to reach heaven.

This leader is not stupid.

After calling for help many times, there was no sign of response, and he himself understood that the people of Liangshan would not care if he lived or died. No one can save him.

In the faint repetition of muttering "save me, save me", he no longer dragged his broken leg and struggled in vain to crawl and want to leave this no-man's land and return to the nostalgic world, but calmly lay there with his back to the sky and looked at the lofty and beautiful blue sky of autumn, the sound gradually disappeared, and finally returned to the light, and shouted in good spirits: "Lao Tzu is not a good person, damn it, but in this life, he has spied on the news of the enemy country for the Great Song Dynasty, and he has also killed the enemy and killed the traitor and villain to protect the people, and he is finally meritorious." I'm dead, please bury me. ”

Suddenly, someone appeared in front of him, looked down at him and said lightly: "You are a man." Good. I won't let your poor people abandon their corpses in the wilderness like this. ”

The leader of the spies stared at the strangely painted face with wide open eyes, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he muttered: "If the Hou Ye were the emperor, how good it would be!" ”

"Please tell the Hou Ye, if he is willing to be the emperor, if Lao Tzu can be reincarnated, he will definitely be his most loyal and upright subject, and he will die without regrets."

"Actually, there are also too many people in our secret spy department who only respect your master as a noble person in their hearts, and when they say that Hou Ye knows that they mean Wen Chenghou. It's a pity that this Zhao is not the other Zhao, and the Hou Ye is not the emperor. I don't have such a good master, so I'm not blessed. The Song people are not blessed...... Gas"

Spit out the last word, his head tilted and he lost his breath, and when he died, he had a strange smile on his face.

The person looking down showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, but he didn't do anything, didn't move the body, and quietly disappeared into the mountains. It's as if the scene never appeared.

At this point, all the spies who infiltrated Liangshan died.

When the regiment had dinner in the evening, they still didn't see the generals who led the team and waited for them to return, so they became nervous. Xue Bi was even more stunned in his heart.

But he didn't say anything, and ate as if nothing had happened.

Sun Cabinet and other Liangshan people who were in charge of the reception were only in charge of the food and drink of the Qin Cha himself and the special treatment of Tian Shizhong, and the others could only cook their own meals, and the food was not enough for everyone to eat, so they still ate it again, so they didn't seem to notice that the Qin Cha team was missing a dozen or so diners, and after cleaning up, they locked the door as usual and all withdrew.

Tian Shizhong, Li Yuhou, and the spy leaders who pretended to be Xue Bi's personal servants also didn't show much, and let the Liangshan people leave after finishing their work.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, when Sun Cabinet and the others came to cook breakfast, Xue Bi stopped Sun Cabinet and said with a solemn expression: "Shopkeeper Sun, more than a dozen people in the Qin Dispatch Team disappeared yesterday. ”

Sun Cabinet was stunned for a moment, and then screamed in horror: "What? ”

His face showed anger, and his honest emoji instantly turned into fierceness, "Xue Qincha, what do you mean?" It's absolutely safe here. Nothing can happen. ”

Xue Bi prepared a contingency answer last night, in fact, he prepared a crisis attack before coming to Liangshan, he knew very well that there must be spies from all walks of life in his entourage, and the spies would definitely take advantage of the loopholes to sneak into Liangshan to reconnoitre, and it was very likely that something would happen, but when he really faced it, he suddenly felt that the deceitful excuse was difficult to say, and he was a little speechless for a while.

Seeing that Xue Bi's unaware silent and innocent appearance didn't seem to be intentionally designed to frame Liang Shan, Sun Cabinet breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the fierce emoji, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that there was no leading officer, and scratched his forehead and said in confusion: "Could it be that these forbidden army martial artists are disgusted with bad hospitality, and if they are not angry, they go into the mountains to steal fruits and steal wild things privately?" ”

As a chef, it's easy to associate everything with food first.

Xue Bi, the leader of the spies and Li Yuhou were worried about how to reasonably explain how their subordinates had entered Liangshan privately, and the malicious intent of the reconnaissance was never dared to be exposed. ”

Xue Bi sighed and said, "I'm afraid they really entered Liangshan but they won't be able to come back if something happens." If you want to trouble Liang Shan, hurry up and help find it. ”

When Sun Cabinet heard this, he couldn't help but show anger again, and couldn't help but complain: "I said, are you here to reward Liangshan, or are you here to trouble us?" ”

"Regardless of whether you eat and drink for nothing, live for nothing, or take revenge? Our lords are about to be crushed to death by debt. Everyone in Liangshan is busy day and night, in order to pay off the debt, the work can't be done, and now we have to allocate a lot of manpower and time to find those thieves and subordinates who have no law and no respect for our Liangshan? Aren't you pit cleaners? ”

The leader of the spies was furious when he heard this, and couldn't help but stare at the knife and shouted, "How can you speak, you? ”

The halberd pointed to the Sun cabinet, "You grass people dare to be like the Son of Heaven (this is presumptuous, you don't want to live you)"

But as soon as Xue Bi saw Sun Cabinet's thick eyebrows, he instantly stood up and was about to go away, so he quickly interrupted the spy leader who was ostensibly his servant, and scolded him: "Hugh is talking nonsense." Shut up. ”

He said to Sun Cabinet: "The shopkeeper's rest." The matter has come out, and Liang Shan can't get out of it anyway. The disappearance of the members of the Qin mission team is not a small matter. The nature is serious. It is a matter of imperial authority. Let's let you Mr. Zhu come quickly. (I can't talk to a vulgar little person like you who doesn't know how to do it)"

Who knew that Sun Cabinet shook his head and said, "I can't come." ”

"Our manager is so busy dealing with a few big creditors that he can't get out, so how can he take care of this."

This sounds like lawlessness to the Qin team.

Li Yuhou, who has been pretending to be honest and not looking for trouble, snorted coldly: "What a joke." Busy receiving creditors, but not having time to accompany angels? Your Liangshan's humble view is really peculiar. Could it be that in your hearts, the Supreme Son of Heaven is not as high as those rich and wealthy? Who dares to compete with the Son of Heaven? ”
