Chapter 90: Thirty-two
Incense burner peak, after a heavy rain, the sky is clear, and the heat is gone.
In the early morning, it is very cool to go out.
Walk to the back mountain, this place is inaccessible, strange stones and ancient trees, you can see everywhere, flowers and green grass, paved with paths, strolling in it, there is a unique style.
Yang Congyi lived on the mountain for a few days, his spirit was completely recovered, he had nothing to do, and took advantage of the fresh air and cool weather after the rain, so he went to the back mountain to take a walk and see the scenery of the incense burner peak.
It has been almost two months since Huaining entered the mountain, and there was no moment without worry, and there was no day to enjoy leisure. But after going down the mountain, it will be difficult in everything, and if you want to visit the mountains and rivers and see the beautiful scenery without worry, I am afraid that there are not many opportunities.
Climb the boulder, only to see that the mountains are at the foot, the giant tree is just a pinch of tender green at this time, raise your eyes and look into the distance, there are still a few high mountains in the sky, looming in the rolling clouds.
"The incense burner peak is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the distant mountains follow the waves. If he succeeds in the clouds, he dares to try to be high. ”
When I climbed up and looked at everything, everything in the world was under me, and I was suddenly full of pride, and I regarded many worries in the future as smoke and dust. At this moment, although Yang Congyi does not have the ultimate goal, it is farther and higher, but it is a definite direction to pursue.
Watch as a red sun pierces the clouds and mist and releases thousands of rays of light rising from the east. Yang Congyi reasoned his thoughts, the idle days should be over here, jumped off the boulder, turned around and went down the mountain.
There is nowhere to go on the incense burner peak, but it is not good to walk around. The must-go place every day is the martial arts arena, where there are many masters who can compete at any time.
Yang Congyi's martial arts are low, only that set of Yue's marksmanship, because he is out of the battle formation, he will kill, and he doesn't plan to continue to catch fast when he gets out of Tianzhu Mountain, if he is forced to do it with others, it will be very bad to kill people. Therefore, in the martial arts arena, he intends to learn more from bandits with strong martial arts, especially defensive martial arts and moves. There are bandits who are good at boxing, good legs, and good weapons, Yang Congyi doesn't care, as long as someone is willing to teach him, it doesn't matter if he can't learn, it's good to be able to remember some defensive moves that don't hurt people.
In the past few days, he has seen a lot of martial arts, what interests him the most is similar to the close-range grappling of the eighteen falls, it is effortless to use, and it is the most suitable to deal with some small people who are not guilty of death, but it is a pity that the techniques are changeable, unpredictable, and it is very troublesome to learn, not that it can be learned in a while and a half, the key is that Yang Congyi does not have the foundation of practicing boxing, it is more difficult to learn this, and he has studied it seriously for many days, and he has only learned three or five moves, but self-defense should be enough.
He has practiced the gun for two years, and naturally he will not give up, there are many people who are good at making spears on the mountain, all kinds of partial marksmanship, there are those who call themselves Luo family guns, and there are those who call themselves Yang family guns, and they look at it all right, since the bandits do not hide their private interests, and are willing to learn from each other, he will also take the opportunity to learn more and improve his spear skills, and he can't go deep into Baoshan empty-handed back, and there will be no such a good opportunity when he goes out of Tianzhu Mountain.
There are many skills and not pressure, this era needs compound talents more, and if you are an official in the future, you can't be an official without the power of a chicken, you can't be a gentleman and six arts, you can learn a few things, not to mention that he still has some foundation in martial arts.
With the more and more martial arts he has seen, he himself has some understanding of martial arts, and the fighting is smoother, the body is flexible, the techniques are changeable, and the benefits are not shallow, and the martial arts have improved a lot compared to before going up the mountain.
In addition to practicing martial arts, he was also concerned about the process of chasing the fugitives, and five days later, the first two fugitives were sent back to the incense burner peak, he went to ask for confessions, confirmed the identity of the fugitives, and asked the peak master to detain them.
Lord Wang Feng also brought him good news, the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance has been launched, and there should be no problem in recovering the fugitive within half a month.
Yang Congyi originally wanted to ask the peak master to help, to see if he could ask if there was any catcher who had entered the mountain and fell on the mountain, and also helped bring it back. But this is not easy to say, it is necessary to rescue Brother Song, and only bring it up after the official army withdraws from Tianzhu Mountain, otherwise it may backfire.
By the tenth day, the number of fugitives sent back to the incense burner peak had reached thirteen. In this regard, Yang Congyi is naturally happy, but after checking, there has been no trace of the twenty-three fugitives in Taihu County, which makes him uneasy, this gang of people committed crimes, after entering the mountain, it should not be completely dispersed, there is no news so far, maybe they reunite and stand on their own mountain, if this is the case, it will be a big trouble, no one will look at the small hill of more than 20 people, and the people who go out of the incense burner peak are likely to ignore such a slight weakness. If you can't catch them, it's hard to explain when you go back.
Yang Congyi specially went to Lord Wang Feng to express this concern, hoping to send some people down the mountain and sweep away those tiny forces, so as to prevent fugitives from occupying some small hills and caves and escaping pursuit. Lord Wang Feng could not rule out that this situation would happen, and in order to find more fugitives, he sent many people to explore outside the mountain. But both of them understand that time is limited, there are many peaks and valleys, and where to run, it is just to do more to do their best. What's more, if the fugitive deliberately hides in Tianzhu Mountain, let alone ten days and half a month, that is, three or five months, a year or two years, he can't find it.
Fortunately, they were too worried, and on the twelfth day, Xianglu Peak ushered in the largest group of fugitives, there were sixteen, more than the sum of the previous days, and fourteen of them were the murderers of the Xiaosongpo bloody case in Taihu County.
On the thirteenth day, two more fugitives were sent back to the incense burner peak.
On the fourteenth day, bring back one.
When the last wave of bandits returned empty-handed on the fifteenth day, the pursuit ended. So far, a total of 32 fugitives have been brought back, including 17 criminals in the Xiaosongpo bloody case in Taihu County.
In the conference hall that night, Yang Congyi, Lord Wang Feng and several important leaders gathered together.
"Yang Zhutou, these thirty-two people are brothers who have worked tirelessly these days to bring them back from various mountains, valleys and caves, and the incense burner peak also owes a lot of favors. These people are enough to catch their heads and bring them back to the errand. Lord Wang Feng's expression was a little solemn.
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Although there are a few missing, most of them can be caught back from the mountains, which can be regarded as an explanation." Thank you for your great help, and when you take them out of the mountain, you will definitely rescue Brother Song, and your hard work will be in vain. ”
"Then it's up to the headhunter. Song Jiaotou is very important to my incense burner peak, don't make mistakes. These fugitives, the head catcher can't take back one person, in order to get out of the mountain smoothly, no extraneous branches, Wang arranged some brothers to escort all the way, what does the head catcher think? ”
As soon as Yang Congyi heard the words of the peak master, he felt that there was another deep meaning in it, but he didn't have a ghost in his heart, but he was also indifferent, and he only heard him smile and say: "Lord Wang Feng has a heart." Just now, I was still worried about how to get out of the mountain safely, I didn't want the peak master to have already arranged it, the peak master arranged it like this, and I couldn't ask for it. ”
"There are still some things, Wang Mou will explain them here, so as not to catch the head without a bottom in his heart, and it will be difficult to do it after he goes out of the mountain." Lord Wang Feng said again.
"What else? Peak master, please speak up. Yang Congyi restrained his smile.
Lord Wang Feng paused slightly, and then said: "There are still eight people on the list given by the head catcher who have not been recovered, these eight people are not outside the mountain, it is difficult to recover, don't make a fuss about them in the future, make up your mind." Wang can only tell the head catcher that these people cannot be recovered, and it is the same no matter how many times they come, how many officials come to come. ”
"Why?" Yang Congyi frowned slightly and blurted out.
Lord Wang Feng replied a little helplessly: "Wang Moufang just said, they are not outside the mountain, they are in the innermost, we don't have such a big face to ask for people, these people don't think about it, just think about it." Be careful when catching heads, don't lose the opportunity to rescue the head of the Song Sect because these people have planted their heels. ”
"The peak master should have something to say, you might as well say it directly, it's so vague, but it makes it difficult for me to do." Yang Congyi's heart tightened, he should know some special news.
Then Wang said bluntly, this time the official army entered the mountain, in fact, many people have known in advance. Some people have been planning for this for a long time, among which the prison robbery is a very important part, and it is exactly what they think about leading the officers and soldiers into the mountain. Now Xianglufeng has helped the government to hunt down fugitives, which has dealt a big blow to their plans, if the government catches up with some fugitives and stops, and then mentions them, their plans for more than a year will be in vain. Therefore, it is very likely that they will stumble when you take the fugitives out of the mountains, or simply make a fuss on the fugitives who have not been recovered, so that the fugitives cannot be recovered, the head of the arrest must be in the mountains, the officials and soldiers must also be in the mountains, and the head of the Song sect will not be able to come back. ”
"Slow down, slow down, my mind is a little messy. What the hell is going on, can the peak master tell me in detail? Yang Congyi's head was big for a while, as if there was a mess inside and outside the mountain, and he couldn't figure it out.
Wang Feng said: "What is going on, Wang doesn't know very well, but I heard someone talk about it inadvertently." I have only one request, to bring back the head of the Song sect. ”
There should be a lot of information hidden in this, Yang Congyi can't figure it out, but there is only one point that has a lot to do with him, bringing all the thirty-two fugitives out of Tianzhu Mountain, with this credit, there should be no problem in further winning the trust of Lord Chen, if you can get the officials and soldiers out of the mountain, it will naturally be the best result. That's all he can do, as for the other hidden things, he can't figure it out, and he doesn't want to spend that effort, the key is that it doesn't have much to do with him.
"Lord Wang Feng rest assured, if we can get out of the mountain smoothly, we will definitely save Brother Song back."
"In this case, please ask Yang to catch the head!" Then Lord Wang Feng said: "Tomorrow morning, I will take someone down the mountain, and Wang will not send it." ”
Yang Congyi said: "I have this intention, and I can only say thank you for half a month." ”
"Brother Cheng Wen and Brother Cheng Wu, the two of you are more familiar with the mountain, and tomorrow you will lead the team to escort a group of fugitives, go out of the mountain with Yang Zhutou, and take back the Song sect head by the way." Lord Wang Feng looked at the two of them and ordered.
Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu replied yes in unison.
Yang Congyi got up and clenched his fists and said goodbye to you: "Lord Wang Feng, everyone, then thank you for your hospitality for many days, don't leave it here, there will be a period later." ”
The leaders and Lord Wang Feng got up to salute back, and Lord Wang Feng replied: "Yang Zhutou has a smooth journey, and there will be a period later." ”
Yang Congyi immediately resigned and left.
Early in the morning of the second day, accompanied by Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu, Yang Congyi escorted 32 fugitives down the incense burner peak and went all the way out of the mountain.
