Chapter 15: Killing in the Night

After walking out of the 'Panlong Pavilion' in fear, the yellow squirrel and the others immediately urged the horses to gallop all the way, wanting to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible; fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and after coming out for more than forty miles, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the sky slowly darkened.

"Leader Huang, it's getting late, there is Longshou Slope in front, here is sheltered from the wind in the south, and there is green grass to place the horses, let's camp there tonight, right?" Old Zheng Tou looked at the sun and said.

"No, although I came out, I was still uneasy in my heart, can I hurry overnight and leave this place!" The weasel looked terrified.

"It's getting late, the road over Longshou Slope is rugged and difficult to walk, not to mention that the brothers and horses are already tired, if you encounter fierce beasts at night, it will be troublesome" Looking at the tired looks of his men, Lao Zheng said helplessly.

"Okay, then set up camp in Longshoupo, everyone be vigilant, and arrange double the manpower to be on duty tonight!"

"No! ……”

With a cheer, the men quickly began to set up camp, running around in the wilderness all year round, and were familiar with this set, and in a few moments, the warm and sturdy cowhide tent was erected, the horses were fixed with wooden stakes around them, and then they were circled with ropes, and a roaring bonfire was lit, boiling water, and cooking...... Horses also began to nibble on the fat weeds on the ground, and autumn was the season when the grass was yellow and the horses were fattened.

Looking at the busy figure of everyone, only the weasel is relatively dull, and his eyes are constantly turning, maybe it is the reason for the long-term tomb robbery and contact with ghosts and gods, he has a magical sixth sense, and can always feel some danger coming, he is not at ease, and he personally checked the situation around the side, and arranged a sentry on duty at night, until everyone finished eating, and when the moontop was in the treetops, there was still no situation around, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe he is too suspicious and suspicious......

Late at night, the cold wind gusted, the field of Longshoupo was extraordinarily calm, not even a single bird, the men who had worked hard for a day soon snored like thunder in the thick cowhide tent, and the horses were completely quiet, occasionally one or two horses would make a sound and gnaw a few mouthfuls of grass, and a few guys on duty at first were loyal to the patrol on duty, but as the night deepened, the tiredness swelled up, and slowly relaxed.

……………………

At midnight, on the east side of Longshou Slope, in the densely vegetated pine forest, a group of black shadows slowly swam over like poisonous snakes......

This group of people looked like about sixty or seventy people, the first one was a black veil, a black shirt covering the body, a soft belt tied around the waist, thick-soled cowhide fast boots under his feet, and a three-foot Qingfeng sword in his hand, the sword light kept shaking like a pool of autumn water in the moonlight, and only a pair of peach blossom eyes were exposed to shoot out bursts of cold light; The rest of the people were also wrapped in black cloth, each holding a bow and arrow, and a group of people lurked in the dense forest silently......

Beside Peach Blossom Eyes, followed closely by an obese figure, it can be seen through the hazy moonlight that the horizontal flesh of this person's face is a little distorted, and his eyes reveal an incomparable greedy color, like a jackal that has found its prey, it is the 'large intestine housekeeper' of Panlong Pavilion - Zhu Dayong.

"Childe's clever plan, that group of horse dealers are spending the night down the slope, should we do it now and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" Coming to the 'Peach Blossom Eye' at the head, the 'Large Intestine Butler' whispered grovelly, and at the same time shook the serrated machete in his hand, looking impatient.

"Don't worry, they haven't fallen asleep yet, let the little ones wait patiently, and do it again at dawn!" The leader of the purple wood boy was not in a hurry at all, and arranged the time for the start at the most sleepy dawn of the day.

"No! ……

Time passed little by little, and the sleeping caravan did not realize that great danger had loomed; The time has come when the jade rabbit falls westward, the stars retreat, and only the last morning star is left in the sky. With a sudden gesture from Zimu Gongzi, many black-clothed men quickly approached the caravan station, and those with bows and arrows in their hands drew their bows and aimed at the sleeping night watchman by the fire.

"Smack! Syllable! Smack!" With the sound of a bowstring, several horse team men who were keeping vigil by the fire were killed by arrows, and many men in black rushed into the camp like a pack of wolves, brandished their swords, and began to slash and slash.

At this time, the Ma Gang woke up from their sleep, many people rushed out of the tent before they had time to put on their clothes, and began to resist desperately, all of them were bloody men who were wandering outside the plug, even if some of them had no time to draw their blades, they roared and pounced with their bare hands, and for a time the sound of fighting, screams, the collision of weapons, and the panicked neighing of the horses resounded throughout Longshoupo.

Hearing the shouting and killing outside, the yellow squirrel who slept all night immediately jumped up and wanted to draw a knife to resist, as soon as he got out of the tent, his shoulder was slashed, and the blood was dripping in an instant, deep into the bones, and then looked at the surrounding blood, his men were constantly cut to the ground, Shao Zhiyan and Lao Zheng Tou had long been nowhere to be found, in desperation, the yellow squirrel gritted his teeth, in a panic, by virtue of his short and flexible stature, climbed on a fast horse that walked the reins, and fled all the way south, a group of men in black quickly snatched the horse, held torches high and chased down like hounds......

People can always burst out with extraordinary wisdom and courage when they encounter danger, maybe this is a kind of potential release, so, people, don't despise yourself, maybe one day, you will create miracles.

Now the yellow squirrel is in danger, the black-clothed masked man behind is chasing after him like a pack of vicious dogs with a torch, feeling the sharp pain coming from his bloody shoulder, and then look at the rugged and difficult mountain road in front, there is really no way forward, there are chasing soldiers behind! However, as the saying goes, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the person is in a hurry to go to the house, and the squirrel conceit is still much stronger than the dog.

When running through a barren grass beach, the yellow squirrel turned over and dismounted, and stabbed the horse's buttocks with the dagger in his arms, the war horse neighed, and ran madly under the pain, but the yellow squirrel quickly hid in the half-man-high weeds on the side of the road by the night, and the emaciated body lay down close to the ground, motionless, and soon the sound of the horse's hooves of the pursuers came closer, looking at the large barren grass pile in front of them, the group of black-clothed people hesitated slightly, and then the wounded startled horse in the distance neighed in pain; Everyone hurriedly beat their horses and chased after them......

The grass shook, revealing an obscene face, and looked at the man in black who ran away, the yellow squirrel tore off a piece of clothing, bandaged the wound on his shoulder, and turned around to slowly lurk in the direction of Longshou Slope to the north...... He was clever enough to know that if the man in black couldn't catch up with him, he would definitely come back and search repeatedly, stay where he was, or then flee south, he would definitely be caught, and only by groping his way forward to Longshou Slope could he escape with his life; The enemy came from the north, and I ran to the north, and the cunning weasel finally escaped......
