Chapter 339: Shui Yuanzi's location
Faced with the wild dog's questioning, I saw that this fake Shui Yuanzi laughed loudly, and after a long while, he said breathlessly: "I...... I can tell you where that man is, but you have to promise me one thing! ”
"What's the matter? If you want me to let you go, then save some strength! The wild dog asked unceremoniously at this time, although this person was seriously injured, he must not let him leave, otherwise there will be another threat in the future.
"Hehe, we are brothers, so we naturally know what happens when we fall into each other's hands, and I'm already like this, so I don't plan to live anymore, but I hope you don't kill that person after you see him!" I saw the young man laugh again, he didn't seem to care about his life and death, even at this time he was still smiling very happily.
"No, I swore that I would kill him with my own hands!" The wild dog refused without hesitation, and Li Zhang, who was next to him, wanted to persuade the wild dog to agree first, and it would not be too late to regret it in the future, but seeing that he was so resolute, he just opened his mouth and didn't say it in the end.
"Don't be so hasty to refuse, believe me, it's better to let him live than to die, and when you see him, you will understand my words!" I saw the young man speak again.
His words finally made the wild dog show a hesitant expression, and after a long while, the wild dog opened his mouth and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Haha, it seems that you have really lived with the people on the ground for too long, and you have forgotten that we don't have names at all, there is only one number that represents our ranking, I am ranked fifth, you can call me five." The young man laughed again when he heard the wild dog's words, Li Zhang had seen thirteen before, and the wild dog was ranked nineteen, and this one was ranked fifth, obviously the brother of the wild dog.
Hearing the other party's words, the wild dog showed a silent expression again, and after a while, he spoke again: "If your words are true, maybe I can consider not killing him, but I must see him first before I can make a decision!" ”
"Well, I believe you!" I saw that Wu showed a meaningful smile at this time, and then said an address, and to Li Zhang's and wild dog's surprise, this address was not underground, or even in the capital, but in a small village in the western suburbs of the capital, and even Li Zhang had never heard of this village.
"He's there, but I hope you won't be too surprised when you meet him! Hahahaha~" I saw that when Wu said the end, he laughed again, and the wild dog also shot out like lightning at this time, directly choking his neck, which made Wu also die very happily, and he didn't even feel too much pain.
"Big brother, let's go to that village immediately!" After the wild dog killed the five, he immediately said to Li Zhang.
"Don't worry, that Shui Yuanzi is hiding in the village, maybe there are other helpers, you are seriously injured now, just the two of us will only die if we go there, so I will enter the palace immediately now, and ask the Queen Mother to mobilize a group of forbidden troops to go with us!" After hearing this, the wild dog also felt that it made sense, in fact, he now had a few broken ribs, and his whole body was injured, although he was barely standing now, he had no strength to fight at all, maybe any person could knock him down.
Without further ado, Li Zhang didn't care about the dark, and immediately entered the palace with the wild dog, he had a token given by Liu E to enter the palace at any time, but even so, there was still a lot of trouble in entering the palace at night, and he had to report to the palace afterwards, if it wasn't for a legitimate reason, maybe the token would be taken away.
Liu E didn't expect Li Zhang to enter the palace in the second half of the night, and immediately summoned him, and when she learned that Shui Yuanzi had been found, she immediately mobilized five hundred guards, because the time was urgent, Liu E did not use the guards from other places, but directly transferred five hundred guards from the palace guards, and ordered them to go out of the city under the leadership of Li Zhang to arrest Shui Yuanzi.
The wild dog's injury was not light, Li Zhang prepared a carriage for him, and called an imperial doctor to treat the wild dog while walking on the road, and Li Zhang rode a horse to the front, and the group went out of the city from the Liangmen on the west side as fast as possible, and then went straight to the small village mentioned by Wu.
This village is called Xiaozhou Village, it is a very ordinary village, there are not 1,000 but 800 villages like this around the capital, the whole village is not big, the radius is only a few miles, there are dozens of families living in the village, and like other villages, the land of the whole village is controlled by a landlord surnamed Zhou, and the residents in the village are almost all tenants of his family.
After Li Zhang led his troops to Xiaozhou Village, he immediately ordered the guards to surround the entire village, and gave a death order, not to get away with a single person, and the people in the village were also frightened to wake up at this time, at first they thought they had encountered robbers, but when they saw the guards wearing the clothes and armor of officers and soldiers, and ordered them to stay at home, these people also closed the doors and windows, and some of the brave ones secretly opened the doors and windows a gap, and then secretly looked outside.
Li Zhang led a team of 100 people into the village, and surrounded the courtyard of the Zhou landlord's house in the middle of the village, this Zhou landlord is just a small landlord, although the courtyard is larger, but the building is very simple, nothing more than two courtyards before and after, and Li Zhang let people knock open the courtyard door to kill in, only to find that there are only a few frightened and trembling maids in the front yard.
"Search!" With Li Zhang's order, the guards also immediately rushed into the house to search carefully, especially the backyard is the focus of the search. ”
"How is this possible?" Li Zhang was very annoyed when he heard this, he barely delayed any time after knowing this, and now that it was not dawn, how could the other party get the news?
However, Li Zhang soon saw the few people in the front yard who were trembling all over, and immediately walked quickly to a subordinate and asked, "Let me ask you, how many people are in this family, and where have they all gone now?" ”
The subordinate was frightened by Li Zhang's people, and he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth several times, which made Li Zhang angry, so he had to change another question, this subordinate was bolder, and stammered at the moment: "I...... Our Zhou family is the only one who lives, and he usually ...... It is also strictly forbidden for us to go to the inner house. ”
"Alone?" Li Zhang was stunned again when he heard this, and then pointed to the others and asked him, "Then is there anyone missing in your family now?" ”
"I didn't ...... No, everyone in our family is here, except for the master. The subordinate replied again.
Li Zhang felt even more strange when he heard this, and then he asked the other party again with an idea: "Is your master sixty or seventy years old, with a white beard full of wrinkles, relatively tall, and a black mole at the corner of his mouth?" ”
Li Zhang described the appearance of the five who died in the hands of the wild dog, and the subordinate nodded again and again after hearing it: "Yes, that is my master, have you seen our master?" ”
Li Zhang also understood when he heard this, this is probably the residence of that five, but why did he say that Shui Yuanzi is also here? And why did he dress up as Mizumotoko?
Thinking of the above, Li Zhang suddenly had a very bold idea in his mind, and immediately ordered the forbidden army again: "Give me a careful search of the inner house, and I can't let go of any clues, even if it is three feet to the ground, I must find out the person!" ”
The guards were also very puzzled by Li Zhang's order, but before they came out, they were under Li Zhang's full command, so they didn't dare to have any doubts about Li Zhang's order, so they had to go back to the inner house and search honestly, and at this time, the wild dog's carriage also came to the door, and the injuries on his body were also preliminarily treated.
At that moment, Li Zhang and Wild Dog also entered the inner house, only to see that this place was also a mess, and the guards were searching everywhere, this inner house was not very big, there were not a few yards in total, and there were no traces of people living in other yards, only the courtyard in the middle had been inhabited, and the guards also focused on searching here.
"Found it!" At this moment, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the yard, which made Li Zhang and the wild dog also happy, and immediately walked into this inhabited courtyard, but Li Zhang entered the room and found that this room was also empty, except for a bed, there was almost nothing superfluous, which made him suddenly feel like he had entered the wild dog's room.
"Captain, my subordinates found that there is a tunnel under the corner of the wall!" At this time, I saw that the guards who had just discovered something immediately stepped forward to report.
"Take me to see it!" Li Zhang immediately showed an ecstatic expression and ordered, and then the two of them followed each other to the west room of the room, and there was a secret door under the corner of the wall, and the secret door was consistent with the texture of the surrounding ground, if you didn't look closely, I am afraid that you would not be able to find it at all.
"Open, everyone else on alert!" Li Zhang immediately ordered, and immediately someone stepped forward with a shield, and the others also opened their bows and arrows, and all the tips of the arrows were aimed at the secret door, as long as there were people inside who dared to resist, they would immediately be shot into hedgehogs.
"Phew!" As the secret door was opened and fell heavily on the other side, a black hole was also revealed on the ground, and then an indescribable stench came from the hole, and the smoked Li Zhang also took a few steps back.
"Throw torches and send someone down!" Li Zhang immediately commanded again, and as a torch was thrown into the hole, Li Zhang and they immediately saw that there was a stone staircase below, and this hole was extremely deep, and they didn't know where it led.
The shield bearer was in front, the archer was behind, several elite guards went down to the entrance of the cave, Li Zhang and they were also waiting nervously, but after these people went down for a long time, there was no sound of fighting in the cave, and after a while, I saw a guard rushing from below, and his face was also a little strange: "Captain, the situation below is a little special, do you want to go and see it yourself?" ”
