Chapter 69: Who's the Spy?
Niu Ben didn't pay attention to the thin horse's eyes, and said directly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go!" ”
The thin horse grinned: "When I was on the road just now, I saw Brother Wang Hui cut off the branches on the side of the road with a knife, I don't know if it was to open the way or did it intentionally?" ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Wang Hui, Wang Hui was also confused, he really couldn't remember whether he had cut down a branch on the side of the road, so he had to explain: "There are branches blocking the road, and it is normal for me to cut it off casually, you kid Hugh wants to spew blood, and then talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will throw you into the river!" ”
Niu Ben nodded: "That's right, Wang Hui followed me when I got into trouble, we have been born and died for so many years, how could Wang Hui betray me?" But what kind of heart did you kid have when he said that? ”
The thin horse stood up violently: "Brother Niu, I don't know my face but I don't know my heart, this person's heart will change!" I was just testing just now, and Wang Hui was obviously weak-hearted. If he hadn't done anything wrong, how could he be weak-hearted? The eldest brother still remembers that Wang Hui was surrounded by more than 40 people that day, and when the other brothers were released, Wang Hui warned the eldest brother to be careful of spies, and from beginning to end the things about spies in the cottage were said by Wang Hui alone, let me ask, if the government really planted spies, how could Wang Hui know? So Wang Hui deliberately said this to frame the other brothers! ”
Wang Hui wanted to interrupt the slander of the thin horse, but after thinking about it, could this thin horse be a spy? And he deliberately framed himself, and later he took the initiative to jump out and point out that he was a spy nine times out of ten, and he just took the opportunity to find out the spy.
After hearing this, the other mountain bandits whispered and discussed, and after a while, some mountain bandits who were at odds with Wang Hui on weekdays stood up: "Big brother, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not, that day we saw with our own eyes that the officers and soldiers obviously caught Wang Hui, but the scholar gave an order, and the officers and soldiers still let Wang Hui go, and now it seems that only Wang Hui is a spy can make sense!" ”
Niu Ben squinted at Wang Hui after hearing this: "Wang Hui, why don't you speak, don't you want to explain?" ”
Wang Hui laughed: "Big brother, I don't speak just to see who will stand up and support Slender Ma, Slender Ma is clearly trying to frame me, and the person who stands up to speak for him is a spy nine times out of ten!" ”
"You fart!" The mountain bandit who spoke just now immediately jumped up: "Wang Hui, at this time, do you still want to use the discordant strategy?" Shouldn't we explain what we just happened first? ”
"Explain? Why should I explain? Wang Hui looked around: "Where were you when I followed my eldest brother from birth to death?" I still want to stir up a relationship between me and my eldest brother, telling you that I chose the way for us to escape, and the raft you are sitting on now is also prepared by me, if I am a spy, then I will directly destroy the raft, and all of you will be strangled by officers and soldiers on the river beach, and you will be ordered to frame me here? ”
Everyone was frightened by Wang Hui's momentum, and Niu Ben had some faint suspicions about Wang Hui in his heart, but now he also dispelled it: "That's right!" When Wang Hui first established the cottage, he helped me find a way back, if he wanted to betray me, I would have died! Skinny horse, you dare to stir up feelings between me and my brother, come on, throw the skinny horse into the river to feed the fish! ”
When Liu Bao heard this, he quickly stood up: "Brother Niu is slow, Thin Ma was also kind just now, and he was also worried that Brother Niu would be betrayed." ”
At this time, the thin horse also said: "Wang Hui, the reason why you didn't destroy the raft is because you don't have time!" After that night, the people in the cottage slept at night with their hands tied, and you just couldn't slip out. There's no time during the day, so you didn't destroy the raft! ”
Wang Hui sneered: "Don't forget, the method of tying hands was proposed by me." If I were a spy and knew that everyone would make a raft and escape, wouldn't I leave a message for the officers and soldiers to intercept along the river? ”
The thin horse licked his lips, but he didn't expect Wang Hui to react so quickly, so he had to mutter: "Who knows if you have left a message for the officers and soldiers." ”
Niu Ben snorted heavily: "Okay, don't talk about it." Don't look at the current situation, I believe that Wang Hui will not betray me, as for the thin horse, if you kid dare to talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart! ”
Everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and the mountain bandit who accused Wang Hui just now also regretted it in their hearts, and they knew that they would not wade into this troubled water.
In this way, the mountain bandits lost the joy of their escape and became lifeless. At this time, the thin horse suddenly saw the military flag floating on the bank of the river in the distance, and shouted excitedly: "Look, everyone, Wang Hui really notified the officers and soldiers, they are waiting for us on the bank!" ”
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the thin horse, and sure enough, when they saw the military flag, Wang Hui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: How could there be officers and soldiers here? Did they guess our escape route?
Niu Ben's eyes widened and he looked at Wang Hui: "Say, how do you explain this?" ”
Wang Hui was speechless: "Also, maybe they guessed our escape route, big brother, you have to believe me, how could I betray you?" ”
At this time, the soldiers on the shore also saw the mountain bandits in the river, and Shang Lei couldn't help but smack his tongue: This chapter Shumo guessed too accurately, no wonder they all praised Zhang Shumo that day.
Thinking about it, Shang Lei immediately arranged for the soldiers to start intercepting the mountain bandits, and at the same time lit wolf smoke.
Due to the wide river, the soldiers did not have a good interception method, and Shang Lei deserved to order the soldiers to run after the mountain bandits, and then intercept them after the river narrowed.
The bandits began to paddle the raft with all their might, trying to distance themselves from the soldiers, but the river had become gentle and the current was not turbulent. Without the help of the current, a raft that could be rowed by hand would not have been able to outrun the soldiers' legs.
Seeing that the Xiahuan River was getting narrower and narrower, Niu Ben hurriedly pulled out his big knife and shouted at Wang Hui: "Wang Hui, if you are not a spy, you will prove it to me, everyone is ready, when we get to Xiahuantou Village, we will flee to the west bank, Wang Hui, you will bring someone to drag the soldiers for me." ”
Hearing Niu Ben's words, Shang Lei's heart became uneasy: the Xiachun River flows out of the mountains, the west is a mountain, and only the east has a river beach to dock. But when you arrive at Xiahuantou Village, the mountains in the west are gone, and you can dock on both sides of the river. I had to speed up, and only by reaching the village of Xia Xuntou before the mountain bandits could we prevent them from escaping from the west.
Thinking of this, Shang Lei shouted to one of his subordinates: "You take a group of men and horses to advance at full speed, and when you reach Xiahuantou Village, you will cross to the other side to prevent them from running away from the west." ”
On the other side, Lou Zaiying and Zhang Shumo hurried to the Xiahuan River, but when they saw the wolf smoke on the bank, they knew that they were a step late, Zhang Shumo looked at the map and said to Lou Zaiying: "Quick, go to Xiahuantou Village, the mountain bandits may land there!" ”
