Suddenly, a short knife flew and stabbed the killer in the back, and the killer fell to the ground with a scream.

"Second brother!" Lu Changqing raised his head and met the red eyes of the second master.

"Big brother!" The second master flew forward, and the brothers who followed closely behind also mixed into the fight. Vice General Huo on the side had no intention of fighting again, and withdrew while fighting.

The second master looked at both sides and shouted, "Don't fight, retreat!" ”。 Beckoning the two brothers to carry the big boss on their backs, and the front opened the way to lead everyone to retreat gradually.

"They're going to run, stop them!" A leader of the Condensation Hall replaced Vice General Huo and commanded the soldiers to chase after him.

The second master led everyone to retreat to the secret sentry next to Erdaoliangzi, and seeing that the pursuers had arrived, he raised his hand and shouted: "Open!" ”

Suddenly, a large crater sank into the ground, and many soldiers fell off guard, causing repeated screams.

The second master beckoned again: "Put!" ”

Wooden planks inlaid with bamboo nails fell from the sky, and the soldiers could not parry, and many were killed and wounded.

The second master beckoned again: "Lose!" ”

A small cloth bag smashed head-on, inside was actually mixed with chili flour sand, this fog was everywhere, the soldiers were blindfolded, and the throat was choked on a large piece, it was easy to wait for everyone to ease up and open their eyes, how could there be the shadow of those bandits, they had already run away.

"Damn, why didn't you think there would be a mechanism here!"

I knew that I would let the mountain dragons go first, and it was really embarrassing to lose the soldiers, and the leader of the Ning Lu Hall shouted backwards: "The mountain dragon explores the way!" The others rest in place and check their injuries!", several figures at the back of the team came out in response, and probed all the way along the route of the bandits who fled from the Falling Grass Ridge.

After a while, several people came back one after another and reported: "After this beam is their nest, there are no traps ahead, and the last mechanism just now should be." ”

Ning Zhangtang walked over with Wu County's order, and after listening to the report, he turned his head and said to Wu County's order: "Lord Wu, bring your person up, these bandits are really cunning, don't make any moths out of the lair!" ”

Wu Xianling nodded and shouted back: "Bring Liu Jingcheng up!" ”

Although Liu Jingcheng only knew anything about the situation in Luocaoling, he had already helped a lot, otherwise Guoshan Long would not have cracked the mechanism so quickly.

Soon Liu Jingcheng was brought up, and he trembled again when he saw the corpses lying around. Wu Xianling said to Liu Jingcheng with a smile: "Liu Gongzi, you have contributed a lot to the suppression of bandits this time, but these bandits are too cunning, and our casualties are also very large!" This will soon be their lair, you should be the most familiar with it, now please show us the way, if you can capture those two bandit leaders alive, you will make a great contribution! ”

At this time, Liu Jingcheng was really hateful, afraid and ashamed, he wanted to get rid of this gang of bandits, but he didn't expect to turn around and come back, and he was escorted back. This is the big village of Luocaoling, if this fights again, I'm afraid my life will not be guaranteed! At the same time, there is a trace of worry, Yuzhen doesn't know what happened, will she still be in this big village? What should I say to her if I do?

The cave was sheltered from the wind, but it wasn't warm, and it was getting colder and colder now. The sound of fighting outside made the two girls always scared, and they didn't dare to light the lights even if it was dark in the cave.

Meng Yuchu kept wearing the animal skin coat given by Li Fengchao on her body, but Liu Yuzhen was so cold that she could obviously feel that her body was shivering all the time. Meng Yuchu put on all the clothes she had brought with her, and comforted her in a low voice: "Sister, bear with it a little longer, it is estimated that the sky will soon dawn, and then we can go down the mountain." ”

Liu Yuzhen curled up and rubbed her hands again and again, and replied, "I'm fine." It seems that the sound outside is not over yet, and I don't know what happened? ”

Meng Yuchu asked cautiously, "Sister is worried about my uncle... Liu Gongzi? ”

"Well, what am I worried about him doing? He can leave me alone, why should I think about him..."Liu Yuzhen muttered in reply, but Meng Yuchu obviously heard her insincerity.

"Sister, did you really grow up together?" Meng Yuchu wanted to distract her so that she wouldn't feel so cold.

"Ah~ Growing up together... So what? Liu Yuzhen fell into memories, "My surname is Huang, my ancestors moved from Yue to Yan, and when I first arrived, my life was sparse, and Brother Liu's family took care of me. I run a tea house at home, my mother's tea art is excellent, and Brother Liu's mother also loves to taste tea, and slowly became acquainted. ”

In the dark, Meng Yuchu took Liu Yuzhen's hand and felt her cold hand trembling slightly

"Who knew that Brother Liu's family was in the middle of the road, my mother wanted to repent of marriage, and kept persuading me to choose another marriage, I was very dissatisfied with my mother's approach, how could I be so treacherous, I resolutely ran out with Brother Liu." Liu Yuzhen continued, "After being with him, I realized that there was a reason for my mother's desperation, Brother Liu...... He had long been contaminated with the vice of gambling, or his huge family business would not have disappeared within a year. Alas, now that I think about it, I can understand my mother's good intentions, what mother in the world doesn't think about her children? I only blamed myself for being too presumptuous and didn't think much about my mother. ”

Liu Yuzhen began to sobbed quietly, "Now I always feel sorry for my parents, and I don't have the face to go home, I followed Brother Liu's surname outside, lied that my parents were dead, and followed him everywhere to swagger and deceive, alas......" Liu Yuzhen shook her head bitterly. Meng Yuchu also had a sour nose, thinking of his parents, father, mother, are you okay...

"Sister, I know that you are a good person, and you are forced to be helpless when you do this, but what are you going to do after you go down the mountain?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's take it one step at a time, and then I'll talk about it..."

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the cave, and the two girls quickly closed their mouths and curled up tightly together.

I only heard someone shouting outside the cave: "There is no one in this village, it must be hidden near here, search me carefully!" Soon the chaotic footsteps intensified, and at the same time, the sound of talking outside also came intermittently.

"Hey, did you see the scene of the bandit boss eating the sword just now? Isn't it a serious injury? ”

"Of course, I was next to Vice General Huo at the time, and I really saw it, brushing the two swords, even if I didn't cut the bones, the tendons must have been broken."

"Just the two Fengyun swords of Vice General Huo, it is his life if he doesn't die! After being so seriously injured, he must not be able to run far, but there is not even a figure in this village, where do you think he can run? ”

"Where can it be? It must still be in this mountain, let's search this mountain, I don't believe we can't find it! ”

The two girls in the cave were shocked when they heard this, and Liu Yuzhen had an inexplicable worry in her heart. The big boss is injured? Result... Is there something wrong? After all, he was still good to our brothers and sisters during this time in the mountains, except for that time...

Liu Yuzhen shook her head fiercely, really, what do you want him to do, even if he dies, it has nothing to do with me... But... He doesn't seem to be that bad... Forget it, don't curse him, I hope he's okay...

The sound of footsteps from far and near made the hearts of the two girls instantly rise to their throats, and they clearly heard someone say, "How does this place look like a cave?" Go, find someone to go in and have a look! ”

The two girls didn't dare to come out, and Meng Yuchu felt unprecedented tension.

There was a sound of shredded footsteps, and a figure with a torch appeared in the doorway, this figure was slender, not as strong as a mercenary, and the two girls closed their eyes in fright.

Hey, why is there no sound? The two girls opened their eyes in surprise, and when they saw the person who was staring at them blankly with a torch, they almost screamed, and the person who came turned out to be...

Liu Jingcheng!

Liu Jingcheng opened his mouth wide and looked at Liu Yuzhen blankly, wanting to say something, but the Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, but he didn't say it after all. As soon as Liu Yuzhen saw him, tears flowed down her face. It's him, it's really him! I was looking forward to it, I hoped that he would come back as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that he would come back with the officers and soldiers to suppress them, Liu Jingcheng, Liu Jingcheng, you are really ruthless, for your own selfish interests, you ruined the entire Luocaoling! I really regret that I didn't do it at the beginning, why didn't I see his true face clearly?

Liu Yuzhen bit her lip tightly and let her tears slide silently. Meng Yuchu held her and also held her hand tightly, for fear that she couldn't help but scream for a while.

At this time, a voice sounded outside: "Liu Gongzi, what is inside?" Why hasn't there been any movement for so long? ”

Liu Jingcheng glanced at Liu Yuzhen again, made a "take care" lip shape, and hurriedly walked out. Meng Yuchu clearly heard Liu Jingcheng's voice: "It's nothing, it's just a wolf cave, I'm afraid that I will make a noise and alarm them, so I walked slowly." ”

"Wolf Cave? Then forget it, let's go, go and look elsewhere...", and then, I heard the chaotic footsteps gradually fade away...

"It's really him!" When calm returned outside, Liu Yuzhen finally broke out, but she still didn't dare to cry loudly, just leaned against the cold cave wall, and her body twitched fiercely.

"It's really him! He didn't care about my life or death, he didn't even care about the kindness of the big boss to take us in, and he even brought officers and soldiers to suppress us, Liu Jingcheng, you are really ungrateful..."

"Sister, don't be sad, don't lean against the wall, it's cold up there!" Meng Yuchu pulled her and comforted her.

At this moment, Liu Yuzhen's heart is a hundred times colder than the stone in the cold winter, what is the coldness in this cave? She really regretted it, regretted that she shouldn't have listened to Liu Jingcheng's words, let herself lose her way, and did so many wrong things, is this God's punishment for her? In the final analysis, it was she who harmed the entire Luocaoling, it was she who harmed the big boss, and she harmed herself, how should she atone for her sins?

Liu Jingcheng led the officers and soldiers to search the caves and ditches around Dazhai, but still did not find the people in Luocaoling, at this time a trace of fear rose in his heart: This bandit in Luocaoling is much more powerful than he imagined, will he seek revenge in the future? When you understand this time, let's run quickly! Thinking of Liu Yuzhen again, Yuzhen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm annoying this time, I can't control you, you still have to ask for more blessings!

Ning Zhangtang and Wu County Ling and others were also puzzled, at such a great cost, what they fought down was actually an empty village, could it be that these bandits had wings and flew? No, they must still be in the mountains, they must be hiding somewhere in the mountains! Thinking of this, Ning Zhangtang waved his hand: "Over the mountain dragon, go to explore the road again, don't let go of a single grass and tree in this mountain!" ”

"Yes", dozens of people rushed out in response, and scattered in all directions.

After about half an hour, four or five people came back and reported: "Your Excellency, there are traces of blood found on the ground in the southwest direction of this stockade, but the terrain in the southwest direction is more hidden and complicated, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of traps. ”

"What do you say?" Ning Zhangtang asked angrily, "We have lost our troops and tossed for most of the night, and now we actually let the two leaders run away, is that all?" Go, keep exploring me, be sure to find where they are hiding, and be sure to catch those two bandits! ”

"Yes!" Several people immediately turned back.

Ning Zhangtang turned around and said to Wu County: "Lord Wu, have you ever asked if there is a secret passage in this village, or is there another village?" ”

Wu Xian Ling looked at Xu Binye, and Xu Binye hurriedly said: "I asked, but he doesn't know." However, we can now try the first instance again. Then he said to Li Zhutou: "Go and invite Liu Gongzi here!" ”

Soon, Liu Jingcheng was brought over. Xu Binye twisted his beard and asked, "Liu Gongzi, you have been in this village for a long time, do you know that there are secret passages in this village?" ”

Liu Jingcheng replied in fear: "No...... I've never heard of ......."

Xu Binye said faintly: "Liu Gongzi, in today's battle, you have a big enmity with the bandits who have fallen into the grass ridge, if you don't cut them down and eradicate the roots, I am afraid that you will not be able to live in peace in the future." If you help us out of trouble, then we will keep you safe! ”

Liu Jingcheng looked at Xu Binye and the others tremblingly, lowered his head and said: "Once I secretly heard them say that there is a place called Misty Forest in the southwest of the village, and they split a station there, but I haven't been there, but I heard that it is full of clouds and mist all year round, and if there is no one to guide you, I'm afraid even the birds and birds will get lost......

"And this kind of place?" Xu Binye and the others looked at each other, and when they saw it, they couldn't ask anything, so Wu Xianling waved his hand and asked Liu Jingcheng to take him down.

Ning Zhangtang found Vice General Huo and discussed with him: "Vice General Huo, this bandit leader has fled to Beizhai with everyone, it is reported that the situation there is complicated, or you take the team down the mountain to repair first, and then I will order someone to continue to explore the road." ”

Vice General Huo had already had the idea of retreating, and replied: "Okay, but you'd better find the way as soon as possible, don't forget that you promised to let my people return to the team within three days, and you'd better explain the casualties to General Song yourself!" ”

"This is naturally not a matter of worrying about the deputy general!" Hmph, Lao Tzu sent money and food to people, and he has raised General Song for so many years, even if he buries all of you here today, he has nothing to say!

Ning Zhangtang sent Vice General Huo away without smiling, and immediately arranged for Ning Lutang's subordinates to return to Dazhai to search, this time it was not to find someone, but everything that could be worth a little money was taken away, and the Wu County Order and a cadre of officials who saw it could only stare dryly.

Ning Zhangtang looked at Wu County's eyes that were about to pop out, and said funny: "Wu County's order, don't look at it, I didn't put these things in my eyes in Ninglutang, didn't I take you to supervise the battle, your share is indispensable." ”

However, they were soon disappointed, and there were many things found, but not much of value, except for some clothes, cloths, food, and other miscellaneous items, and even few weapons. It's been more than a year since the grass ridge was raised, although it doesn't harass the people, but it's not less than a robbery, why is it just such a thing? It shouldn't be! Did they transfer the supplies ahead of time? But how did they know we were going to attack the mountain? Ning Zhangtang looked at Wu County Ling suspiciously, who knew that Wu County Ling was smiling very happily, because Xu Binye told him that there was the ice cotton silk that the second lady wanted the most.

"What a useless piece of waste!" Ning Zhangtang secretly sighed, forget it, there is no point in pursuing it now, it is important to quickly arrange for the mountain dragon to explore the way, and wait until tomorrow to find their lair, take them down in one fell swoop and go back to their lives.
