Incense burner mountain, the main village of the Quartet Gathering Hall.

I don't know when dark clouds gathered in the sky, and then it started to rain. Although it was not for a long time, it played a big role. The fire was gradually weakened by the rain, and with thousands of people fighting the fire together, the fire was finally brought under control before it was completely dark, but fortunately it did not cause a large-scale forest fire.

By the time we arrived, it was already dark, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt ash and sparkling ashes, and the charred scorched wooden lintels and the dark red fire were so bright and dark that they were stirred by the drops of water, and the white steam was stinging.

Eighty percent of the entire main village has become a pile of coke ruins.

Dai Shan looked at all this with a blue face, he saw the billowing smoke on the incense burner mountain on the way, for fear that the two guys Lange and Shiertai would mess things up, and they hurried all the way in the rain, and it was still a step too late to get here. The cottage has become a ruin, and thousands of irrelevant people have been arrested, but there is nothing to find among them. Looking at the charred corpses that had been torn and burned out of the ruins, his eyes seemed to be stained with two terrible coals.

Lange and Shiertai knelt on the side and didn't even dare to breathe, the military law in the Eight Banners Army was strict, and the military order of the main general represented everything. If the people they want to arrest are not caught, they are killing ten times more Han soldiers and civilians, and looting ten times more food and goods, which is also futile. Moreover, looking at the face of the flag lord Belle Ye, the green tendons on the head seemed to burst out, and they could clearly feel the anger of their master, and they couldn't help but feel their scalp tingle.

"What about the people I asked you to arrest?" Daizen's tone was surprisingly calm, but the scorching flames contained beneath it seemed to ignite even the air.

Lange and Shirtai barely thought about it, and kowtowed together: "Slaves should die!" The person has not been found. "They are close generals who have been by Dai Shan's side for a long time, and they know Dai Shan's temper. At this moment, it is useless to quibble, if you don't catch someone, you don't catch someone, only by honestly confessing your mistakes and accepting punishment can it be possible to calm the anger of Dai Shan.

"You two rice buckets! There are so many people who can't even catch a single person! What's the use of raising you slaves? Dai Shan shouted angrily, picked up the horsewhip and slashed the head and face of the two people, the horsewhip whipped on the face of the bloody traces, the helmets were blown away, but the two people didn't even dare to move, it is better to be whipped than to be knifed, and now Dai Shanken is using the whip to teach them, which means that he still intends to leave their lives.

The whip flies up and down, accompanied by a creepy thrashing sound that stings a person's eardrums. Dai Shanxiang vented his anger with a whip like crazy, and the guards of the banner lord and the guards around him who were red flags turned pale when they saw it, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of pulling the master's angry emotions on their bodies.

However, some people finally understood the truth of moderation, and after about a hundred strokes, Dai Shan finally stopped, threw the horsewhip to the side, and immediately someone respectfully picked it up. At this time, the crazy look on his face had gradually subsided, and his rational expression had returned.

"I beat you, do you two accept it?" Dai Shanzheng didn't even look at the two of them, just looked coldly at the blackened and smoky rubble ruins around them.

The answer is obvious, at this time, whoever dares to say that he is not convinced must have a brain disease. Lange and Shiertai endured the pain of the whiplash on their bodies, and replied loudly: "If you go back to the master, the slave did not do the errand that the master gave the master, and the master killed the slave, and the slave was also convinced. ”

In fact, with their perennial experience on the battlefield, their physique has already been exercised like steel and iron bones, even if the whiplash hurts, it is only a skin injury, but what they really care about is the fear of falling out of favor in front of Dai Shan.

Among the Eight Banners, the banner master is completely in control of the life and death power of his subordinates, don't look at them now as high-ranking officers like Jialaluzhen, if the banner owner sees that they are not pleasing to the eye, it is simply a matter of one sentence, and he doesn't even need to give a valid reason. And in the Zhenghong Banner, which is full of talents, there are hundreds of people who are jealous of their position.

Dai Shan actually didn't mean to kill them, after all, these two people were his hardcore cronies, and their abilities were outstanding. This time I was so angry that I really taught them a lesson and let them know the majesty of military law. In addition, it was difficult for him to confess in front of his father Khan this time, and there was nowhere to vent the sullenness of grievances in his heart.

"Good! Finally, I still have a bit of backbone, and I didn't raise you two minions in vain. Give me a closer look at the corpses that have been cleaned up, and I want to see people alive and corpses when I die. In addition, step up the cleaning of these ruins, since according to what you said, there must be a secret escape passage in this cottage, the sooner you find it, you can catch up as soon as possible, and you can't guarantee that the kid will also run away from the secret passage. ”

"Wow!" made people answer the order in unison, and retreated dejectedly with pain and dejectedness. Shiertai also lost his original fierce momentum at this moment, chewing a bitter gourd in his mouth, looking at the charred corpses that had been burned beyond recognition, and muttered: "What can I do...... They are all burned to this virtue. Don't say you haven't seen it, even if you see it, you can't recognize it now......"

Lange glanced at him, thinking that you were just thinking about killing all the way, and now the thing about scratching your head is coming. If you had relied on me, how would you have gotten to this point? But now they are grasshoppers tied to a line, and it's useless to blame him. just said angrily: "I can't see the face, the blade can always be seen." That person named Yue Xiang heard that he made a Japanese knife, which was extremely sharp. I don't think it's going to let go easily, just look at the knife on that corpse, that's it. ”

"This knife is only afraid and not safe, since it is a treasure knife, maybe someone is greedy for money and picks it up."

"Under this sky-high fire, it is important to escape, even the jade seal of the emperor Lao'er is afraid that you will not have time to pick it up, let alone a knife. Besides, this person is very skilled, and most of the people who took the opportunity to escape when I saw it. In fact, what Lange was thinking in his heart was, how could someone who could make Huang Taiji deflated be easily burned to death by fire? This is just this kind of thing, even if you rot your tongue, you can't say it publicly, this is still a secret in the Eight Banners of Jianzhou, and he was introduced by Dai Shan as a confidant to learn a little news.

Under the command of the two, thousands of people began to quickly clean up the fire scene with the unique efficiency of soldiers, and many people saw the scene of their main general being whipped by the flag master just now, and they were all silent. Now that an order has been issued, there is no reason not to work hard, but I want to tear down all the buildings here at once, so as to please their master.

Under the invisible pressure, the efficiency is truly impressive. In less than a moment of incense, Dai Shan received a report that he had found the entrance to a secret passage buried under the rubble.

Dai Shan's eyebrows raised and asked, "Have you ever found that Yue Xiang's body?" ”

Lange hesitated, although he said that just now, he was not 100% sure. But at this time, you must not answer that you don't know. He gritted his teeth and replied stubbornly: "If you go back to your master, you didn't find it." That Yue Xiang must have escaped along this secret passage. ”

"Oh, the mountains are treacherous, are there any other trails that lead to other places?"

"The minions have sent people to pursue them from the mountain paths, and at the same time sent more than ten teams of patrol horses to block the various paths down the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, and search all the grass and dense forests, even if someone escapes into the mountains, unless he hides in the ravine and does not come out, he will definitely be caught." Lange and Söhne seem to be full of words, but in fact there is room for them. The reason is very simple, he really has no bottom in his own heart.

"The minions and Shiertai had fought with the Han bandits on this mountain, and it seemed that Yue Xiang had made it easy for these bandits to unite in one place. According to the captive's confession, Yue Xiang and a village owner surnamed Wang in this village used to be old acquaintances, and the slaves had made a counter-plot to separate them, but they were also unsuccessful, which shows that the relationship is extraordinary. Thinking about it, Yue Xiang must have fled with Yang San. ”

"Yang San...... Have I heard of this man's name, and he is called a Liaodong hero among the Han people from time to time? Many of our female thieves have dealings with this person...... Well, I remember the name......"

Dai Shan nodded as if talking to himself, and asked again, "Where does the secret passage lead?" ”

"Back to the master's words, the slave has already sent someone to chase down, caught a seriously injured Han man in the secret passage, and asked if it was leading to the north of the leopard chong and Fu'an Chai River. I heard that there are many militia groups in the Han villages, the fortresses are continuous, the horse thieves and bandits are impermanent, and they are famous bandits. ”

"Did you ask if Yue Xiang was among them?"

"Back to the master, the Han man was seriously injured, and he didn't see it clearly in the chaos at that time."

Dai Shan's eyes rolled, and then he ordered the seventeen Niu Lu led by his headquarters, with a total of more than 5,000 Jurchen Jinqi, to immediately detour north to Huabaochong, and the roads of the Han fortresses along the way were all blocked and cut off;

He also ordered Lange and Shiltai to continue the pursuit along the secret passage; At the same time, he sent an order to withdraw the patrol horses scattered in the mountains, and divided them into two parts, one along the north bank of the Puhe River, ambushed on the road from Sanchabao to Puhesuo, and the other went to Fushun Pass, controlled the Fushun Ferry, and cut off the official road from Shenyang to Fushun and even to Qinghe. In this way, the northwest and south sides are all blocked, and to the west is the territory of the Jianzhou Jurchen outside the Great Wall.

He knew that Yue Xiang would eventually return to Qinghe, because his family members were all there, didn't the Han people pay attention to filial piety? What's more, according to intelligence, this Yue Xiang is still a talented person who has read books.

He has made up his mind, in short, even if he turns the bottom up, he must catch the right idea, as for whether he is now in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, whether he will be attacked by the Ming army, he is not worried about this. With the combat effectiveness of nearly 10,000 elite soldiers and fierce generals in his red flag, he does not pay attention to any army of the Ming army in Liaodong now. If you don't fight them, they have already burned incense and worshiped the Buddha in their previous life, and if they lend the Ming army a gut, they will not take the initiative to provoke.

After the arrangement was completed, just as Dai Shan was about to turn around and go down the mountain, he suddenly took shape, and then turned his head to the side involuntarily, as if something had aroused his interest. His guards also stopped, looking around inexplicably.

"You ...... Did you hear that? Dai Shan came out of this sentence for a long time, in fact, he didn't know how to describe the feeling just now, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, rippling ripples came from a distance, and directly rippled in his mind, that feeling was very wonderful, it seemed that it could not be described by hearing, seeing, smelling, but he didn't know how to describe it, so he had to say that he heard it.

The guards looked at each other, not understanding what their master meant. "If you go back to your master, the slave should die, and the slave didn't hear anything."

"Strange...... It's obviously ...... It's the same as the real thing...... "Daishan himself is a little confused, and although the feeling is slight, it is very real. He knew what was going on, but he didn't know what it was, where it was. And this kind of thing was completely beyond the scope of his cognition, and he was stunned for a long time, and finally decided to explain all this with an illusion, and led his guards down the mountain......

At the same time, a hundred miles away, in a ravine near the Great Wall, hundreds of horsemen and horses gathered in the black press. They quietly followed the Zhenghongqi Brigade all the way, after all, both sides were experts in cavalry warfare, and Dai Shan did not want to deliberately hide his whereabouts, so it was not difficult for the small army of Mangergutai to avoid the Zhenghongqi's horse exploration rangers.

Li Guoyong and Wang Haoxian served as guides, using their unique charm to summon ghosts and trace the way forward. But just now, the two of them suddenly stopped.

"Senior brother, did you feel it just now? That strong aura ......" Li Guoyong was still holding the spell in his hand, staring blankly into the distance.

Wang Haoxian was also surprised, "Could it be ......?"

The rest of the words were not spoken, but the two looked at each other, and both saw the same answer in each other's eyes. Wang Haoxian was ecstatic in his heart, thinking that it was really the blessing of his mother, and I, Wang Haoxian, took great pains to sleep in the cold and bitter place outside the gate all day long, and I had to be with these barbarians, and suffered all the humiliation, and finally did not suffer in vain.

"Senior brother......" Li Guo was equally excited in his heart, and leaned over and quietly glanced behind him, meaning what to do with these individuals behind him. Everyone is originally in a relationship of using each other, so it's not strange to break up at any time.

Wang Haoxian signaled that he couldn't turn his face with Mang'er Gutai for the time being, after all, the strength of the two of them alone might not be very sure, and the hundreds of people behind him were not vegetarians. Anyway, it's utilization, so why don't you use up all the value?

"Hey, why don't you two barbarians leave?" Manggutai's voice sounded behind him, this time he went out in person, "Are you planning some ghost tricks again?" ”

You're a fucking bitch! Wang Haoxian scolded fiercely in his heart, but turned his head into a smiling face.

"The flag owner has misunderstood, what Daishan wants to do this time, we have already figured it out. As long as the flag owner makes good use of it, he will keep it so that Dai Shan can't eat this time. ”
