Chapter 873: Don't Miss It Again
Chapter 873 No More Misses
Xiang Qingniu's face was always a little unsightly, since Fang Xie speculated that it was a person from the Buddhist sect who came to the southwest of the Great Sui to start preaching, the kind of killing intent in his eyes made people feel cold. is such an amiable fat man ninety percent of the time, and the slight abnormality he shows at this time makes people feel nervous when they look at it.
Fang Xie knew that Xiang Qingniu had a knot in his heart.
The person who used the pseudonym Xiang Qingzheng left a knot in Xiang Qingniu's heart.
More than ten years ago, Xiang Qingzheng left Chang'an to go west, and when he returned, he was already a skeleton-like person, even so, he still desperately killed the Dalun Ming King, who was at the end of his rope. Xiang Qingniu finally failed to see Xiang Qingzheng for the last time, what kind of sadness would this be for a person who is willing to follow his surname with the second senior brother?
"Solution"
Xiang Qingniu didn't call Xiao Fangfang this time, and he didn't have that cute and cunning smile on his face.
"...... in a moment"
He chased after him and said very seriously: "If it's really a person from the Buddha Sect, I'll take action." ”
Fang Xie nodded and didn't say anything more.
The large and small roads outside Chen Village have been blocked by the Black Flag Army, and the main general has been assassinated, and the 60,000 Black Flag Army soldiers are holding back a fire in their hearts. After the people of the Xiao Cavalry School found out that those assassins might be hiding in Chen Village, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were eager to rush in and turn those people out and break their bodies into pieces.
When Fang Xie arrived outside Chen Village, half of the people in this village had escaped spontaneously, and the people from the Xiao Riding School were interrogating one by one if they had seen anyone who looked like a disciple of the Buddhist Sect. The news obtained under the inquiry made people's hearts chill that a small half of the people in this small village had been called into the sect.
Recently, the main target of the Xiao Riding School is in Yunnan Road, Jiangnan and Dongjiang, and I don't pay close attention to the things that are under my nose at home. Who knew that those cult people were so bold, and they already had a large number of believers in Huangyang Dao. It was just because he was not as secretive as his usual missionary work, and because the people had nothing to do all winter, and it was impossible for the local government to keep an eye on it so carefully, no one thought that the cult would spread so quickly.
The people are idle in winter, and the young and strong men either train in the tuntiandian, or go to work in the camp of Suzaku Mountain, and now there are many construction projects in the camp, which requires a lot of labor, and these people go to work in the winter to earn some silver and subsidize the family. Besides, the Black Flag Army takes great care of the people, even if they don't give money and only take care of food, the men are willing to go to the camp to contribute.
Most of the remaining people in the village are old, weak, women and children, and these people happen to be the preferred targets for the spread of the cult. In particular, those peasant women had no knowledge in the first place, and they were deceived by those cult people who said something that seemed to be very reasonable.
"Are you Muramasa?"
Liao Sheng glanced at the old man standing at the front of the crowd, walked over and asked coldly.
"General Hui, I am the village leader of Chen Village, and my name is Chen Handian."
The old man hurriedly replied.
Liao Sheng looked at the old man, thought for a while, and asked, "How many people are there in your village?" ”
"General Hui, there are a total of six hundred and twenty-two people, including men, women, and children. There are thirty-one people working in the Tuntian point on the west side of the Vermilion Bird Mountain, and there are one hundred and three people working in the Daying Water Village on the Vermilion Mountain. ”
"Now there are just over half of the people outside the village?"
Liao Sheng glanced at the number of people and asked.
Chen Handian subconsciously glanced at it, and then replied a little timidly: "General Hui, I counted just now, and there are still two hundred and seventy people in the village who have not come out." ”
Liao Sheng asked again: "Why did you come out and the rest of the people didn't?" ”
Chen Handian replied: "After the army surrounded the village, no official entered the village, and I saw that something was not right, so I beat the gong and asked the people to gather outside the village." Those who didn't come out...... Probably...... Probably didn't hear it, right? ”
"Didn't you hear?"
Liao Sheng snorted coldly and said, "Chen Handian, I don't want you to hide anything now. Something should have happened to you, General Xiahou, who was rotating the garrison on Xinyang's side, was assassinated, and four generals in the army were killed. This matter is too big, it has already alarmed the lord, and now the lord has arrived. Think for yourself what the Lord has done to you, and if you feel worthy of your conscience, continue to lie. Without you, I would have found out! ”
"National ...... Grandpa Guo has also arrived?! ”
Chen Handian was obviously startled, and his eyes began to drift outward. When he saw a young man in a black robe on the other side of the crowd, followed by a huge and majestic white lion, he couldn't help but tremble with fright.
"In the village...... There are indeed some outsiders. ”
Chen Handian stammered: "At the beginning of winter, an outsider who claimed to be from the place where the gods lived in the north came to the village and begged the people in the village for water to drink. Then he didn't leave, and told some stories of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds to the villagers at the entrance of the village that day. At that time, it was a farming slack in the village, and everyone ran to listen, but everyone thought that what the man said made sense, and gradually, some people became obsessed with it. At first, I didn't think something was right, but the man didn't encourage the people to do anything, but instead said some Taoist truths for goodness, so I didn't care......"
"How many such people are there in the village!"
Liao Sheng asked angrily.
"Yes...... A dozen of them. ”
Chen Handian suddenly pounced and fell to his knees: "I really don't know that those people dare to assassinate General Xiahou, these people outside have heard the story of the famous generals of the Black Flag Army, if they know that those thieves are so mad, even if they are killed, we will not dare to take them in." When they arrived in the village a few days ago, they said that they would rest and leave soon, and no one could have guessed that they had committed such an earth-shattering crime...... Now there are no people in the village, most of them have been detained. ”
"Where?"
Liao Sheng asked.
"At the back of the village, Liu Tuhu's house is a big place, and his mother-in-law believes in those missionaries and treats them like gods, so she takes them in at home."
Liao Sheng squatted down, folded a wooden stick and handed it to Chen Handian: "Draw all the terrain and houses in the village, try to draw carefully, you are the head of the village, what are the names of the hundred and ten households in this village, where do you live, how is the house at home, how many trees are in the yard, you can draw as many as you can remember, the more detailed the better." Especially in that Liu Butcher's house, it is best not to make any mistakes at all! ”
Chen Handian had actually been frightened for a long time, where did he dare to delay at this time, drew a map of the village according to his memory, and revised it from time to time.
……
……
Fang Xie walked to Liao Sheng's side and stopped, Liao Sheng pointed to the map that Chen Handian had just drawn and said, "Lord, this household is Liu Tuhu's house, the place is very large, and there were more than a dozen cult people who borrowed from his house at the beginning. However, more than 200 people have not come out now, and they are obviously all detained by these cult members. Therefore, the subordinates speculated that here, here, here, these places are guarded by cult people. ”
Liao Sheng pointed out several important positions in the village: "These cult members have been in Chen Village for several days and have not left, and now they are detaining the people, obviously because they have premeditated. They're just waiting for our men to come over, but they can't guess what their purpose is. ”
"Kidnapping the ...... of the people"
Fang Xie pondered for a while, looked at the terrain of the village, and then ordered: "Let all the soldiers retreat, change the people and horses of the Xiao Cavalry School and the Jingbu Battalion around the village, take these people five miles away, send people to watch, and not a single one is allowed to leave." ”
"Whoa"
Liao Sheng agreed, turned around and ordered someone to do it.
"Fatty"
Fang Xie glanced back at Xiang Qingniu: "Let one of the two seniors of Yiqiguan guard the east and north of the village respectively, you enter the village from the west, and I enter the village from the south." ”
"I'm going too."
As always, he walked a few steps forward and combed the wind-blown hair on his forehead: "If it is really a member of the Buddhist Sect, I will also enter the village." I haven't fought anyone from the Western Regions Buddhist Sect yet, so I don't want to miss it. ”
Not far away, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes, looked at Fang Xie and said, "There are no cultivators in front of the village, there are eight above the seventh rank in the back, two of the eighth grade, one of the ninth grade, and one ...... My perception can't be relied on, that person's cultivation is obviously extremely strong, and after discovering that I perceived the situation in the village, I immediately sealed an area with my cultivation, and I couldn't enter, so I didn't know if there were other cultivators. ”
"Sealed?"
Fang Xie frowned slightly, turned around and instructed Chen Xiaoru: "Don't carry out the previous military order, everyone, including the Jingbu Battalion and the Xiao Cavalry School, all retreat to a mile away from the village." The east side is guarded by the two seniors of Yiqiguan, the north side is guarded by Mo Condensation Cream, the south side is from me, and the west side is handed over to Daozun. ”
"Let me go in too, I'm closer, I can sense it better."
Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Fang Xie shook his head: "No, you and the fan stay outside, if there is an accident over there, you two will go to help." ”
Shen Tianfan and Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, and did not fight again.
"I don't think it's easy......"
Xiang Qingniu suddenly said: "Cultivators are arrogant, since they deliberately brought us here, they have no fear. Why do you want to hijack people? Such a means can only be used by the lower three indiscriminates on the rivers and lakes, which is no different from the hooligans. If they have detained the people, will they have any other schemes? ”
Xiang Qingniu said: "If they threaten the people, we won't be able to make a move." ”
"Two hundred and seventy ......"
Fang Xie muttered, it was the number of people held hostage in the village.
There was a chill in his eyes, a look that couldn't be described.
"Into the Village"
Fang explained two words, and then strode towards the village.
Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the village, a very soft, soft, but absolutely clear voice suddenly floated out of the village, and it clearly reached the ears of everyone outside the village.
"It came really quickly...... Daozun Xiang Qingniu, the Black Flag military solution, you two can enter the village, no one else is allowed to come in, I have two hundred and seventy innocent people in my hands, if you enter the village one more, I will kill ten people. For people of your stature, the lives and deaths of the people may not matter. But you are all people who are good at making false names, and since this is the case, then fulfill your own false names. ”
Fang Xie and Xiang Qingniu glanced at each other, and then said to the two old Taoists, Mo Ning Fat and Yi Qi Guan: "Stay outside, let's go in." ”
The two walked into the village side by side, and everyone's hearts were a little nervous.
No one knows what the cult people in the village are trying to do. They made such a big case, perhaps just to lure Fang Xie and Xiang Qingniu to come. But...... Why the two of them?
"I know who it is."
Xiang Qingniu's face changed after listening to the man's words, and he shook his head and said, "He really brought us here on purpose, it must be the two of us." ”
Fang Xie nodded: "I missed it then, don't miss it again this time." ”
