Chapter 274: Seeing the Clues

The middle-aged man had been in the army for a long time, and as soon as he heard this, he concluded that there were no less than 100 riders to ride, and he suddenly changed color for a while.

Without thinking too much, he quickly stood up from the wheel, waved the horsewhip in his hand and slammed the driving scalper, hoping to increase his speed.

The old ox had suffered such pain, and the slightest tears dripped down from the eyes of the bull, but the hooves moved faster.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves behind him was getting closer and closer, and the middle-aged man looked to the rear, and he could see a group of knights dressed in bright armor and hanging swords from their waists chasing after him.

The middle-aged man knew that the old scalper who was driving was definitely a knight who couldn't be faster than a galloping horse, so he gritted his teeth and simply slowed down, secretly thinking in his heart that he hoped that this group of knights just happened to pass by, and that it would be good not to cause trouble.

The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and a high-pitched voice also came along the whistling mountain wind: "The ox cart in front, quickly pull over and stop, and do not act rashly." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's heart jumped, he clenched his teeth and pulled over, and there was a slight panic in his heart.

The cavalry rushed quickly, and the general with the helmed armor calmly reined in his horse, drew his long sword and pointed at the sky, and the cavalry led by him had already formed a semicircular long formation, and surrounded the ox cart in front of the mountain wall.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's forehead was faintly sweating, and he hurriedly jumped out of the car and bowed deeply, with a hint of panic in his tone when the common people suddenly encountered the official army: "This ...... This military master, I don't know what you have to do when you call the grass people to park? ”

The leading general had a cold face and a cold expression, and pointed his long sword at the middle-aged man, and asked coldly: "Let me ask you, are you from Fugu County?" ”

The middle-aged man didn't dare to hide it, nodded and said: "Yes, the grass people went out of the city from Fugu and pulled a cart of green dates to go to Linzhou to sell. ”

The corners of the leading general's mouth flashed with a slight sneer: "A cart of green dates is worth only a few taels of silver, and you drive a hundred miles to Linzhou to sell it, isn't it too troublesome?" ”

"The military master doesn't know." The middle-aged man said unhurriedly, "The grass people have found a good seller in Linzhou, and the price per catty of green dates is seven or eight cents more expensive than that in Fuzhou. ”

What is said is that there is no leakage, there are not only a few points of the honest friendship of the common people, telling the truth, but also a few points of the careful calculation of the businessmen, and the baht must be compared.

The leading general bowed slightly, and after looking at the middle-aged man for a while, he suddenly fell on the cart scalper, and when he saw that the back of the cow was covered with blood marks after the whipping, his eyes suddenly burst out with a cold light.

"Is this your cow?"

"Yes, it is the old ox of the grass people's family, it can pull carts and plough the land, but it is older."

"Hmph" A trace of an inexplicable sneer came out of the leading general's mouth, and his tone suddenly became sharp: "Ploughing cattle is the life of farmers, how can they be whipped so fiercely?" In Ben's opinion, this cow must not be yours! ”

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man's expression changed greatly, obviously he didn't expect such negligence, and the general of the Zhenwu Army saw the clues.

This leading general heard the warning, and Bai Yifei, who led the army.

Although the search at the gate of Fugu County was lightened, for suspicious people and suspicious vehicles, the cavalry of the Zhenwu Army intercepted and interrogated outside the city.

Seeing this middle-aged man's strange behavior at this time, Bai Yifei immediately became suspicious, waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, take this person down, and search this car!" ”

"No." Behind him, the knight Ang Ang took the order, and two of them turned over and dismounted, and they were about to come and get the middle-aged man.

Knowing that he had been exposed, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and in a flash of light, he suddenly turned back to the front of the carriage, and actually drew a sharp blade from the gap in the pillar, and pounced on the two knights who came to take him.

The two knights were close to him, and they fell to the ground screaming with a knife in their necks, and the two puffs of blood splattered like flowers in full bloom, as if it were raining.

Bai Yifei's expression changed slightly, and with a loud shout, he jumped up from the horse into the air and rushed towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was superb in martial arts, and when he saw Bai Yifei menacing, he naturally didn't dare to be careless, so he turned around and put on a defensive posture in front of the carriage, and fought with Bai Yifei for more than ten moves, but he didn't distinguish the winner or loser.

The middle-aged man became more and more frightened the more he fought, knowing that this person must be a fierce general with excellent martial arts, a false move took the opportunity to swing Bai Yifei's long sword, and asked coldly on his chest: "Your Excellency's martial arts are not weak, I don't know who your surname is?" ”

Bai Yifei stood with a sword, and his attitude was heroic: "This general is Bai Yifei, the former commander of the Zhenwu Army, and the little ones are not captured before they are restrained." ”

The middle-aged man's expression changed greatly, and he said solemnly: "It turns out that Your Excellency is General Bai, it is really better to meet than to be famous, but the general is the chief general of the first army, it can be said that he is busy with affairs, and he has a lot of opportunities, but he didn't expect to be so free today, and he actually came here to intercept the ox cart, which is really incredible." ”

Bai Yifei sneered and said: "To tell you the truth, Fugu County has not been peaceful recently, and a maid has also disappeared in the Dadu Governor's Mansion. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he laughed angrily: "It's so unexpected, it's really unexpected to have such a thought, but I heard that the missing maid has been buried in the ground, can the dead be resurrected?" Is there a general Lao Bai searching here? ”

Bai Yifei laughed, and then his smile flickered and his tone became even colder: "My aunt is clever, and he has already seen the plan of the villain Li Daitao, and the person who died is not the little maid of the Dadu Governor's Mansion Lotus Leaf, but in order to deceive the villain, my aunt will do what he wants, and bury the body of the fake lotus leaf without moving, making an assumption that the lotus leaf is dead, so that the villain is deceived." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the cargo box of the ox cart and asked coldly, "If Ben is not mistaken, there should be a hole in the cargo box." ”

The middle-aged man sighed lightly: "For the sake of the mountain, I fell short, Zhe Zhao, Cui Wenqing, I will write down this hatred." As soon as the words fell, they suddenly burst out, and the target was the weakest part of the cavalry formation.

"Stop him!"

Bai Yifei shouted, stepped forward with a sword to block, and the cavalry in front of the middle-aged man also rushed in on horseback, pressing over like a net, wanting to surround the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had no hope of breaking through, raised his head and suddenly let out a long roar, pulled out and whirled, and killed two more people with a knife in his hand.
