Chapter 1: Escape from the Encirclement

Next Chapter

Qiu Yundu fled in a panic.

Thirty-six masters from the three departments of the Fine Seal Department, the West Night Department, and the Brother's Landing Department came together to take Qiu Yundu's life.

The Fine Seal Department is the largest and strongest force in the land of Guli, and Qiu Yundu's father, Qiu Bangzhi, was once the head of the Fine Seal Department. The Daquan Shou is the highest-ranking military position in the ministries, and its power is second only to the suzerain and the Shabi, and sometimes even higher than the Shibi. The small sealing department can develop from a small force that can only survive in the cracks to the largest force in the land of Guli, and half of the credit is due to Qiu Bangzhi. However, although Qiu Bangzhi is heartfelt about the fine seal department, he still can't help but be suspicious of the master, and the head of the fine seal department is not in harmony with Shi Biso's innocent element and Qiu Bangzhi, and it is inevitable to play right and wrong in front of Chao Xuan, the sect leader of the fine seal department, and over time, Chao Xuan can't help but be suspicious of Qiu Bangzhi, and finally made up his mind to eradicate him. Qiu Bangzhi never expected Chao Xuan to do something to him, he was unprepared, the whole family was killed even more than 100 slaves and maids, and the Qiu clan was almost uprooted, fortunately, Qiu Yundu, the youngest of the four sons, was able to escape under the protection of the whole family's death, but how could Chao Xuan leave such a bane? And he knew that Qiu Bangzhi's four sons were all brave and incomparable, especially Qiu Yundu, who was known to be a genius, although he was young, he was already known for his military exploits, and if Qiu Yundu successfully escaped, it would be a big trouble. So Chao Xuan informed the Western Night Department and the Brother Lin Department to send experts to assist in interception, so as to kill Qiu Yundu in one fell swoop. The West Night Department and the Brother Department were intimidated by the obscenity of the Fine Seal Department, although they felt sorry for Qiu Bang, but they could not fail to obey their orders, otherwise, the arrival of the army of the Fine Seal Department would be a great disaster.

Thirty-six masters are led by Lao Yan of the Fine Seal Department, Lao Yan is the head of a thousand regiments under Qiu Bangzhi's great opponent Shu Zhong (a position in the army, at least a thousand people, more than the leader of thousands of people), although this person's bravery is not commendable, but a tracking technique is unparalleled in the world, and it is also quite famous in the fine sealing department, Chao Xuan ordered him to lead and not let the first master in the fine sealing department except Qiu Bangzhi Shu Chong lead, which shows the trust in his tracking technique.

Lao Yan is thirty-four years old, but the vicissitudes of life on his face show that he has experienced too much sadness and suffering in his life. He rode on the horse, raised his right hand slightly, and more than 30 masters behind him grabbed the war horse and lined up behind Lao Yan. Lao didn't say a word, looking at the grass in front of him. At this time, the grass is luxuriant, and this meadow stretches for more than ten miles, and the grass is knee-high.

Lao Yan turned his head to look around, rode a small dirt slope, looked at it, rode back for a long time, and said slowly: "If Qiu Yundu wants to escape, this grassland is the place he must pass through, according to his speed, he should not have escaped from this grassland at this time." ”

At that moment, the crowd was arranged: "You wait to scatter and search, and you must search carefully." After a pause, he said: "If Qiu Yundu can't be found on this grassland, then he must have fled, and the terrain of this grassland is even more complicated, and with our manpower, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find him." ”

At that moment, the thirty-six people were divided into groups of six, a total of six groups, and searched in the direction indicated by Lao Yan, and Lao Yan personally took five henchmen and searched straight forward.

At this time, all the masters have been dispersed, but Lao Yan did not look for it, it seems that he knows where Qiu Yundu is hiding, and he shoots his horse straight forward, and when he is about to almost walk out of this grassland, Lao Yan suddenly stops, and the five people behind him see this as if they are facing a great enemy, and surround Lao Yan to prevent Lao Yan from being attacked.

Lao Yan waved his hand slightly, signaling his subordinates not to be nervous, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Five years ago, I was still a penny, and when I was poor, I was fortunate to meet the head of the Qiu Bang, and I was recommended to the sect master, so that I could display my ambitions under the heavy hand of the second head, if it weren't for the head of the whole book, I am afraid that I would have been poor to death." ”

The other five people wondered why Lao Yan suddenly said these words at this time, but the military discipline of the fine seal department has always been extremely strict, and no one would dare to say more unless the leader asked.

Lao Yan continued: "Although I Lao Yan was recommended by the head of the Daquan, but unexpectedly he was favored by the head of the second and could not serve the head of the Daquan, and now the head of the Daquan is killed, Lao Yan's heart is like a knife, but because of the military order, he has to hunt down his only surviving son. You say, if I really find his son, should I obey the military order and kill him? He glanced at the other five.

The five people didn't seem to have imagined that Lao Yan would ask these words, and they couldn't answer for a while. Lao Yan said: "You and I Lao Yan have been born and died for many years, although there is a distinction between respect and inferiority, but I Lao Yan has always regarded you as brothers, and I don't have to have scruples, although I can speak freely." ”

The thirty-two-three-year-old man next to him whispered: "Forgive my subordinates for bluntly speaking, Daquan Shou has only merit and no fault for my fine sealing department, and now Daquan Shou has been harmed by traitors' slander, and it is already higher than the sky, if I wait to kill his son again, it will be really a monstrous crime." ”

The rest of the crowd nodded yes.

Lao Yan nodded slightly, and said, "Ao Mo's words are exactly what I want, so even if we can find Qiu Yundu, we have to let him go?" ”

Everyone whispered, "Yes." ”

Lao Yan suddenly said: "In this case, why should you hide in Qiuyundu? ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their hands involuntarily touched their short knives, and several pairs of eyes searched around.

But when he saw a meadow without wind, he saw a young man walking out slowly. The young man was handsome, and although his face was inevitably suffering from a long journey, he could not hide his resolute look. Holding a long sword in his hand, although the long sword was not unsheathed, the murderous aura had already erupted. This is Qiu Yundu, who is just twenty-four years old.

Qiu Yundu, the fourth son of Qiu Bang, joined the army at the age of fifteen and has been in the army for nine years now. Calm temperament, quick-witted, young but unusually brave, is the most outstanding of the four sons of Qiu Bang, and in recent years has often been arranged by Qiu Bang to carry important battle missions. His subordinates' evaluation of him is: he is good at being weird in battle, and he ponders the opponent's mind more; He is a pioneer and has a lot of respect for his subordinates. After nearly 100 battles, he rarely suffered defeats, and was honored as "the head of the young man" by the army.

Lao Yan smiled slightly when he saw Qiu Yundu, and said, "If Yundu has no opinion, you can sit on the ground, and we will talk a few words." ”

Qiu Yundu was slightly shocked, and said in his heart: "How can I be so careless, there are countless masters around, how can I stand up rashly?" Hurriedly lowered his body and half-squatted on the ground, and couldn't help but praise Lao Yan's meticulous thinking.

Seeing this, Lao Yan smiled and said: "Yundu has not let down his vigilance, if I send a signal, Yundu, can you have the confidence to break out of this grassland?" ”

Qiu Yundu was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: "There are dozens of masters around, if he really sends a signal, I have no way out." Then he simply put away the sword, sat down on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Lao Yanshou is worthy of being the first tracking master of Guli, and he can find my hiding place without any mistake." ”

Seeing him sit down, Lao Yan let down his guard against himself, and was very satisfied in his heart, and also lowered his voice and said: "Time is pressing, I won't say much, I just ask Yundu, is there a place to go after escaping from the fine seal?" ”

Qiu Yundu was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly he understood that Lao Yan wanted to disobey the military order and let him go, this was simply his life in exchange for his own life, and the military order of the Ministry of Fine Sealing was strict, if this move was known to Shu Zhong and even the sect master, Lao Yan would die a tragic death. I couldn't help but be moved in my heart, although he had a target at this time, but it was inconvenient to say frankly in the face of Lao Yan, so he said: "The future is boundless, there is no goal, if you can get the guidance of Lao Yan, Yundu is grateful." ”

Lao Yan sighed slightly: "In normal times, with Yundu's talent, all departments will compete to seek it first, but now the situation is different, the fine seal department vows to take your life before being willing, so that the other departments will not dare to accept you if they want to survive, how easy is it for Yundu to survive?" Speaking of this, even Qiu Yundu could hear the sadness in his words.

But he listened to Lao Yan and continued: "Yundu has suffered a great disaster, and now the bones of Daquan are not cold, Yundu's deep revenge has not been avenged, and now it is necessary to save himself first." In my opinion, Yundu should be free from the various departments, so that the fine seal department can not track you, there are many people outside the departments, if Yundu can summon and gather, like a trickle of the sea, slowly growing. However, in any case, the tribulation and suffering can only be imagined to be successful or failed according to the will of the gods. ”

Qiu Yundu couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this, and Lao Yan's words were obviously the most reasonable way out for him at present. At present, there are many departments in Guli, and there are many of them, and there are twenty departments that form a scale, but there are only eight departments with strength, and the fine sealing department of these eight departments is the strongest department, to understand it, no department dares to fight against the fine sealing department alone, let alone other small departments. Therefore, Qiu Yundu did not dare to join any other party, if they had the intention to curry favor with the fine sealing department, Qiu Yundu went to take refuge just as much as sending his own head. At present, he can only be separated from the various ministries as Lao Yan said, if he wants to take revenge, he needs to have enough strength to fight against the fine sealing department, and it is difficult to think about this alone. But Qiu Bang's tragic death in the fine seal department, how can Qiu Yundu not repay this revenge?

At that moment, Qiu Yundu leaned over and shook Lao Yan deeply, and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Lao Yan nodded and said, "Where to go, you have to think about it yourself, without further ado, if you don't leave at this time, when will you wait?" ”

This move was clearly to let Qiu Yundu go, Qiu Yundu was stunned, and said: "If I escape, how can the head of labor explain?" ”

Lao Yan smiled slightly: "Don't worry." I have my own way. ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard Ao Mo next to Lao Yan whispering: "Chief, look! ”

Lao Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be shocked when he looked around, but seeing that half of the more than 20 people who were originally scattered around had disappeared, Lao Yan reacted very quickly and said in a low voice: "It's not good, Yundu's whereabouts must have been discovered!" ”

Qiu Yundu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, thinking in his heart that he must have been discovered by others when he just got up, and said secretly: "I saw that the secret valley was near, but I didn't expect to be able to escape the poisonous hands." ”

But seeing that Lao Yan quickly dismounted, he glanced around at the five people around, and said in a low voice: "In addition to me, Shi Biso Wuxian also sent two masters, Mingshu and Wenying, these two are Suo Wuxie's henchmen, and I am afraid that they are here to take Yundu's life." ”

Gradually, he felt that the grass was moving around, and Lao Yan knew that the other dozen or so people had surrounded him and others, and Qiu Yundu had also found out, and said with a miserable smile: "Lao Yan, please tie me to the restraint and rope innocence, so as not to drag you down." ”

Lao Yan was silent for a while, and said with a cold smile: "Lao Yan has received the first great favor of Daquan, how can he repay virtue with resentment?" Everyone, Lao Yan made it clear here, today I am desperate to protect Yundu to escape, if you can remember the past kindness of Qiu Daquan, and remember that we have also lived and died together, fortunately help me! ”

No one around said excitedly: "Everything is at the behest of the chief." ”

Lao Yan was greatly moved in his heart, and at this time he heard someone shout: "Lao Yan, Shibi's words are really correct, you have the heart to help Qiu Yundu!" ”

I saw the twelve people around him slowly stand up, and the current two people are only twenty-eight or nineteen years old, which are the Mingshu and Wenying in Lao Yan's mouth. Lao Yan smiled coldly at them, and said: "Qiu Daquan is the pillar of the fine sealing department, but he was counted by Xiaoxiao and died tragically, so do you still want to help the abuse?" ”

Mingshu also sneered: "I only know to obey the orders of the sect master and Shi Bi, Shi Bi clearly ordered me to wait, and when I saw Qiu Yundu, I was immediately killed!" ”

Lao Yan slowly clenched the long knife in his hand, glanced at Qiu Yundu, and said slowly: "Mingshu, if you don't give way, today will be your death." ”

Mingshu laughed and said, "Lao Yan, are you still delusional? With a wave of his hand, he shouted loudly: "The sect master and Shibi have an order, go all out to fight Qiu Yundu!" More than a dozen people around shouted in unison: "Obey the order!" "They all moved up and pounced.

Qiu Yundu got up first and whispered to Lao Yan: "Rush to the northeast!" The long sword suddenly dissolved and headed towards Mingshu and Wenying.

Mingshu and Wenying knew that Qiu Yundu was brave, and they were not his opponents when they were afraid of one-on-one, but they were sure to kill him with two enemies and one enemy. ”

Qiu Yundu held a sword in his hand, and he was not afraid of one enemy and two enemies. The name of this sword is "blood stains", it is the sword worn by Qiu Bang that year, and later Qiu Bangzhi saw that Qiu Yundu made rapid progress, and there was a hidden tendency to catch up with him, so he gave "blood marks" to Qiu Yundu. After the tragic destruction of the Autumn Mansion, the "blood stain" is the only relic of the Autumn State. But Mingshu and Wen Ying are famous masters under Suo Wuxie, and the two are also known for their prestige, although Qiu Yundu is brave, he can't repel the two, but fortunately, his goal is only to flee to the northeast, and there is no danger for a while when he fights and retreats.

But Lao Yan and others are in danger under the siege of the remaining ten people, five of them are one enemy and two, but except for Ao Mo, the remaining four people, including Lao Yan, are all mediocre in martial arts, on the other hand, the ten people brought by Mingshu and Wen Ying can all be called masters, and soon Lao Yan was slashed, fortunately Ao Mo helped from the side, otherwise Lao Yan would have been worried about his life.

Lao Yan knew that such a hard resistance was not a way, seeing that Qiu Yundu was already retreating to the northeast while fighting, although he didn't know what Qiu Yundu's purpose was, but he couldn't separate from Qiu Yundu, he gave a look at the other five people, and the five people gradually retracted, and followed Qiu Yundu to the northeast.

Eighteen of the thirty-six people who came this time had already formed a battle, and the other eighteen had already discovered it, but they approached here unhurriedly. Those eighteen people are all masters transferred from the other two, although the two lamented the death of Qiu Bang, but they had to help search for Qiu Yundu in the thin sealing department, and now they found that the masters of the fine sealing department suddenly had a disagreement, and everyone was holding a wait-and-see attitude and did not take action immediately.

But the six people of Qiu Yundu could not withstand the attack of twelve people, although they killed four people on the other side, but four of them also died tragically, and now only Qiu Yundu, Lao Yan and Ao Mo are left, Lao Yan has added a few more injuries, only Ao Mo can support it bravely and fiercely, but he can't support it for long.

Among the three, Qiu Yundu is in the best situation, Mingshu and Wenying want to kill Qiu Yundu to take the credit, so they don't let others help, so Qiu Yundu has the least pressure, although the two are brave, but they can't hurt him for a while, and they secretly admire Qiu Yundu in their hearts for being really famous.

At this time, the three of them fought and retreated, and they had already left the grassland, except for the ten people who started in the field, the remaining eighteen people had gradually moved closer, but they still did not make a move, which also coincided with Mingshu and Wenying's thoughts, they knew that it was a matter of time before the three people died.
