Chapter 254: Cat and Mouse

The subordinates on the side saw that Yuan Ba had agreed, and some organs asked puzzledly: "Boss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this time that is idle is certain to die, even if you are not killed by the thief, you can't escape being held accountable by the above, we are a fisherman, why do you want to help her?" ”

Yuan Ba shook his head when he heard this: "We must help this time, we can't miss the big thing because of the previous grudge, you must know that once this idle is exposed, the preparations and deployments of the adults over the years will be ruined, and our efforts will be in vain, and I am waiting here to deal with those who are disobedient, recruit manpower, and wipe out anyone who may reveal our identity, just like the gang of bandits in Nan last year, who almost exposed us when they did something bad, fortunately we received the news in advance to destroy those living mouths, It's the same this time, we have to exterminate these people, it's our duty, now we're with that Dingxian is a grasshopper on a rope, if something really happens to her, we can't escape the involvement, this time we are not only helping Dingxian but also helping ourselves, and we can take the opportunity to get a lot of benefits, of course, if we can master this Guanyin Nunnery, then it will be more weighty in front of adults. When the rest of the people heard this, they all nodded and praised Yuan Ba for his foresight.

Then Yuan Ba ordered eighty people, rode on horses, and went straight to the idle village with torches. In this way, the official army, Yuan Ba, and Na Lu Feng, the three groups of people all rushed to the village behind Guanyin Mountain.

Lin Mo naturally didn't know what the situation was outside, but secretly thought about what to do next, and Zhao Pu on the side said: "Lin Mo, this group of people hasn't moved for so long, is it a rat trap, don't you dare to do anything to us?" Otherwise, if we just rush out with this idleness, they shouldn't stop it. ”

Lin Mo shook his head and said: "Before, Dingxian was bent on death, let that Tian Zhuang leave her alone and kill us, I don't understand why, it's just that she is afraid that this nest will be exposed, and they will move to other places, if they are only regarded as ordinary bandits, it doesn't make sense, although this Dingxian has been operating here for several years, he may not bear to let his foundation go to waste, but he won't lose his life for this, but now look at everything here, do you still think that this is just a bandit's lair?" ”

Zhao Pu looked at the astonishing number of weapons here and couldn't help but say: "If this must be a bandit, then this Yunzhou, no, I'm afraid that the officials and soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River are not as good as the bandits." Then he whispered, "Do you think they want to rebel?" ”

Lin Mo heard it and said seriously: "Even if it is not a rebellion, these things are enough to condemn them for rebellion, so they can't be accused of this, even if it is death, they will deal with all of us." ”

Zhao Pu and the others couldn't help but panic when they heard this, and Lin Mo comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, these people are still afraid of the rest in our hands, and they don't dare to do anything to us for the time being, but Steward Zhang and the other brothers are probably still dealing with Tian Zhuang and them." Zhao Pu couldn't help but worry when he heard this, but now worrying is useless.

Zhang Xian took the remaining two with him at this time

Ten officials fought back with crossbow arrows while retreating, but unfortunately there were more than forty crossbow arrows in total, and it was night in this dense forest, and the officials were not skilled, and only about five or six of the thirty arrows were shot, but Tian Zhuang and they were afraid of this crossbow arrows and did not dare to get too close, so Zhang Xian and they had a little respite.

This Tian Zhuang himself brought more than 20 crossbows, each with twenty or thirty crossbow arrows, and this round of shooting directly injured Zhang Xian and them four or five people. Zhang Xian and the others could only fight and retreat, and marched towards the agreed place to stop the ship.

Zhang Xian estimated the hour, Ma Zheng and He Ren should be almost there, he has already dragged these forty or fifty people, as long as the reinforcements can arrive in time, Lin Mo and they will be saved.

At this moment, there was a sound of shaking mountains in the distance, like ten thousand horses galloping, Zhang Xian heard a happy face, the sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder, this horse must be strong and powerful is a good horse, and from the sound of at least fifty or sixty horses, and this Yunzhou can gather so many horses I am afraid that only the garrison of Yunzhou, it seems that who brought reinforcements to save them.

Zhang Xian and the others followed this voice and looked at a fire dragon on the mountain not far away, and the officials were naturally very excited, they felt that it must be the official army to save themselves, after all, only the official army in this Jiangnan can make such a big battle. Just when several officials were about to shout excitedly, Zhang Xian immediately said: "Be quiet, these people have a problem, it seems that they are not official soldiers." ”

When the officials heard this, they immediately looked at Zhang Xian in surprise, and then they all hid in unison, they couldn't help but trust the housekeeper of the Ma family after the battle just now, after all, if it weren't for Zhang Xian's experience, they would have lost their lives long ago, Zhang Xian stared at the "fire dragon" in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tian Zhuang immediately became alert when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and asked his subordinates to hurry up, and when the sound of horses' hooves was near, Tian Zhuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the people coming clearly. Tian Zhuang hurriedly said loudly: "Thank you for your help this time." ”

Yuan Ba, who was in the lead, didn't take care of Tian Zhuang, looked around and immediately understood the current situation, looked at Tian Zhuang standing in front of the horse and said: "You people can't even solve a few little thieves, this is how you will be taught?" Nothing is a waste of waste."

Tian Zhuang's men immediately became angry when they heard this, and they wanted to reason with Yuan Ba, but they were all stopped by Tian Zhuang, Tian Zhuang knew that he had indeed made a big mess this time, and he had to be helped by Yuan Ba, and now he couldn't turn his face with him.

Tian Zhuang said with a smile: "It's all my fault this time, I couldn't identify these thieves in time, so I bothered the Yuan family to come to help, if it is solved smoothly this time, I will be guilty." ”

Yuan Ba looked at Tian Zhuang and couldn't help but admire this Tian Zhuang, this person is indeed loyal, taking all the blame on himself, and he can be said to be loyal to this leisure.

Yuan Ba didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "You follow the mountain road, I will take people down the mountain and search along the river." With that, dozens of people rushed into the mountains and forests and began to search.

Tian Zhuang's subordinates were just about to curse this Yuan Ba but were stopped by Tian Zhuang: "Don't say anything, hurry up and continue to search, no matter what, you can't let those thieves run away today." ”

Then the search began.

Zhang Xian saw from afar that the man on horseback was separated from Tian Zhuang, he knew that they were in a group, and he seemed to know who this man on horseback was.

The official on the side also saw the clue and said: "Steward Zhang, these horsemen are in a group with this Guanyin Mountain, and they are now discussing that they want to search us separately." ”

Zhang Xian nodded, and then said: "There are two choices now, one is to continue to contain these people here and buy time for Lin Gongzi and Zhao Zhutou, and the other is to go to the river and leave by boat now, what do you think?" The officials looked at each other and finally said firmly: "You can't leave Zhao Zhutou alone, we will stay and contain them." ”

Zhang Xian looked at them, then at the wounded officials, and finally said, "In this way, the injured will leave by boat first to treat their injuries, leaving two to follow them, and the rest to follow me." Then he took out a few dozen taels of silver from his bosom and handed them to the servants who were carrying the wounded, and sent them to the shore to get on the boat, and then took the rest of the people and went into the mountains and forests again.

Yuan Ba led the people to scatter in the mountains and forests to search for Zhang Xian's traces, suddenly a scream came, Yuan Ba rushed over, and one of his subordinates rode a horse and fell into a pit, the pit was sharpened bamboo, the horse and the subordinates were pierced by the bamboo, the blood flowed like an infusion, and it seemed that they could not live.

Yuan Ba sighed and said, "Give him a good one." When one of his men heard this, he drew his knife and slashed the unfortunate man who had fallen into the pit, and although it seemed cruel, it saved the man from suffering.

Yuan Ba looked at the people beside him: "This time we have met a veteran, this time we are cat and mouse, don't be bitten by mice, cheer up, don't fall into the trap they designed." Then he led the people to continue the search.

Zhang Xian and the servants relied on the grass and trees in the mountains to set different traps, and Yuan Ba and the others were very careful so that the traps designed by Zhang Xian did not hurt them again, but these traps greatly slowed down Yuan Ba's pace, making Zhang Xian and them become comfortable in this game of cat and mouse, and dragged everyone down.

Yuan Ba was extremely angry by these traps, and then his subordinates on the side said: "Master, we can't go on like this, these people can't catch them like loaches, we can wait for the rabbit." Yuan Ba immediately understood when he heard this, and said loudly: "Everyone immediately follow me to Guanyin Nunnery, there is no need to chase these thieves anymore." Then he led the people and turned around and went straight to the Guanyin Temple.

Zhang Xian saw that all the people chasing him turned around and stopped chasing, and said in his heart: "It's not good" and immediately led people straight to Guanyin Nunnery. At this time, a large number of people were guarding the entrance of the cave, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they immediately became nervous, and they drew their knives to guard against it.

When Yuan Ba led everyone to the entrance of the cave, the people who were originally on guard breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Ba and the others got off the horse, and the king craftsman hurriedly stepped forward and said: "What is the reason why Yuan is here?" When Yuan Ba heard this, he immediately said bluntly: "You still want to hide such a big thing from me?" Hurry up and say, how is that gang of thieves now? How's the rest going?"

Wang Jiangtou knew that this Yuan Ba was not in agreement with the owner of the nunnery, and if something happened this time, if Yuan Ba took the opportunity to make trouble

This situation is even more dangerous, he said with caution: "This thief is trapped in the cave, waiting for the son to come back to make a decision, this time I don't want to help the family." ”
