Chapter 559: Secret War (I)
Yang Zhen and the others waited for the forest to retreat into the side forest before they had not gone much distance, and they only felt a blackness in front of them. Although it was only past noon and it was the hot summer season, the forest was completely isolated from the outside space because www.biquge.info of the perennial dense growth of trees, and it was particularly deep and dark.
Even Yang Zhen, a person whose six senses are far better than ordinary people, can only barely see the situation at the distance in front of him at this moment, and others can only rely on hearing and body to feel the situation around them.
"What the hell is this, how can it grow so luxuriantly?" One of the brocade guard's brothers muttered something in a low voice, and at the same time, his body unconsciously crashed into a big tree on the side, and he let out an ouch in pain.
It was Luo Chengzhang, but at this time he seemed very calm: "This mountain was bought by a large family in Xiaoshan County before. He forbade ordinary people to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and even sent evil slaves to guard the foot of the mountain, and over time, the trees here became much more lush than elsewhere. ”
Yang Zhen nodded slightly, but somehow, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. Although after he waited for him to enter the forest, the two groups of enemies in front and behind did not follow, but he always felt that there was still a danger lurking in the unknown darkness that was more difficult to deal with than a bow and arrow. This is an innate warning sign of danger, and Yang Zhen does not dare to ignore this.
The temporary security made several people quickly make a judgment on the situation in front of them - today's incident must have been deceived by someone else's trick, and the other party took advantage of his weakness of being anxious to find Huang Sanshui, led everyone to Beigan Mountain, and set up an ambush here early, intending to surround them with bows and arrows.
After thinking about this, Luo Chengzhang's face suddenly showed a look of self-reproach: "It's all my fault." If I hadn't been too eager and didn't listen to Zhen'er's advice, we wouldn't have ended up where we are now. ”
The father-in-law was serious, and the son-in-law was just a little reminder. In fact, it was me, and when I learned this clue, I also wanted to find Huang Sanshui immediately. Yang Zhen hurriedly comforted. After a pause, he quickly changed the subject: "Father-in-law, don't you think this is a little strange today?" It seems that the guy who set the trap knows us very well, and has laid such a trap that even we can't see through! ”
"You mean......" Luo Chengzhang also came to his senses when he reminded him like this: "Yes, the two guys who led us up the mountain before spoke almost without any flaws, and they also knew everything about the internal affairs of my Cao Gang." Because of this, we will be more suspicious of him and fall into their ambush. Do you say ......"
"I'm afraid that the murderer behind the scenes is someone inside our Cao Gang. The fact that Yue Ying was abducted before contact can only be done by people who know us very well, at least with the very close cronies around you, father-in-law. Yang Zhen said, his eyes drooped, and he said: "So this Huang Sanshui is just afraid that he is not the one who kidnapped Yue Ying as we thought, but just a trick!" ”
Luo Chengzhang's body trembled suddenly, and at this moment, he finally came back to his senses. The other party has done so much, but I am afraid that the target is still on himself. As for the daughter, it was just a bait for them to lure themselves into the bait. And after thinking of this layer, the old Jianghu began to be alert again: "Won't there be anything strange in this forest?" "After all, the other party has arranged such a killing game, how can it be possible to leave such a safe place for them?
Outside the forest, the front and rear enemies had gathered in one place, but they did not follow Yang Zhen's footsteps into it, but only surrounded the entrance of the forest, aiming their bows and arrows at the front, once someone came out, they would come with a random wave of arrows.
The two leaders who took the lead were also together at this moment, staring thoughtfully at the deep forest. One of them snorted a little unhappily: "I don't know what the helper thinks, why didn't he let us fight back and forth, and use this bow and arrow to clean them all up." I have to do this more, force them into the forest first, and then arrange a killing move inside! ”
"You don't know this, it's because our helper sees farther than us, and knows that our two people may not be able to really do things."
"You didn't see how I killed them in front just now, so they could only retreat, if you also killed from behind at that time, you would be in charge of giving these more than ten people a pot of stew."
"If it's just those men, it's not a problem. Keluo Chengzhang, as well as the brocade guard named Yang Zhen next to him, are not easy to deal with. ”
"What? Do you even know that? Have you fought with them and know that they are up to it? ”
"Although I haven't fought with Luo Chengzhang and the two, I know what happened a few years ago. On that day, Luo Chengzhang actually killed Ye Tianlong, the first master of our gang, who had been following the gang leader, one-on-one...... You say, such a master, can we take care of it with just a few dozen bows? ”
"This ......" Hearing him mention Ye Tianlong, the person opposite suddenly didn't dare to refute. Although this old man has always been very low-key, everyone in the gang knows Yan Huan, so he can quickly sit in his position at the beginning of his succession, thanks to his deterrence. Moreover, there were several older generation of gang masters who were killed by Ye Tianlong because of their schemes.
Although Ye Tianlong had been dead for three or four years, his prestige was still well known to these Cao Gang. Now that they thought that Luo Chengzhang was the one who could kill Ye Tianlong, they naturally didn't have much confidence in using a bow and arrow against him.
The gang leader also knew this, so he thought of using the safety of other people to force Luo Chengzhang to not be able to get out. Otherwise, with the little manpower I brought, I would not have been able to stop him. But the people in this forest will be able to take their lives! As he spoke, there was both murderous intent and a hint of pride in this person's eyes. Although Luo Chengzhang and they were not killed by themselves, they were also trapped in a desperate situation because of themselves, and they must have contributed a lot to the help when they got everything back.
In the woods.
Yang Zhen and the others, who were groping their way forward, had become extremely vigilant, even if all they saw was a cloud of darkness, they were still looking left and right, as if they were wary of the possibility that an enemy might come out from behind the thick trees at any time.
But the situation surprised them a little, after walking like this for half an hour, there were no accidents. Not to mention that there is a sudden sneak attack by the enemy, even the poisonous snakes, insects, ants and other things that will always exist in the forest are not half there.
But the more this is the case, the more serious the uneasiness in Yang Zhen's heart becomes. He could clearly feel that the other party had forced himself and others into this place because there was a big trap waiting for him inside. And the more it is triggered, the more terrible the trap is, or the more difficult it is for the opponent to control all this.
It's a pity that at this time, they are completely on the passive side, and they can only be on guard at all times, but they can't even see the shadow of the enemy, let alone take the initiative to attack.
"My lord, could it be that we are worrying too much? Otherwise, how could the enemy not have moved at all times? After a long period of guarding, a subordinate who was already feeling very tired asked cautiously. Indeed, this attitude of having to guard against it wholeheartedly and not daring to relax in the slightest can consume people's spirit and fighting spirit more than fighting the enemy, and make people feel doubly tormented.
Yang Zhen's gaze was still sweeping around quickly, to prevent any problems that might arise, and he just said softly: "Don't relax, don't be nervous, this is the situation that the enemy wants us to have." If we are careful, nothing will happen. As for when the enemy will strike, that's their own business. As long as we move forward, maybe we will be able to walk out of this ghost forest soon......" Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's expression suddenly froze.
At the same time, a brocade guard beside him also snorted softly: "Strange ......"
"What's wrong?" Luo Chengzhang asked casually.
"We ought to have been to this place before......" said the man, reaching out and groping for the trunk of a tree in front of him, and then his voice trembled suddenly, "Yes, I just knocked a piece of bark off this tree, and this tree is also average. And ......" As he spoke, he lowered his body again and touched the ground for a while: "This...... The piece of bark is also here...... "Although he raised his hand, only Yang Zhen could vaguely see that there was a thin piece of something in his hand.
But even if the others couldn't see what was in his hand, they already felt a bit of nervousness. They were obviously moving forward in a straight line, but why did they go back to where they came?
The ghost strikes the wall -- the thought that quickly flashes through the minds of many people, and at the same time the drums begin to beat in their hearts -- is it not that the enemy we are facing is not a living person?
As soon as this thought was generated, everyone's spirits involuntarily and quickly became nervous, and for a moment, they felt that the darkness had slowly pressed towards them like a boulder, silently pressing towards them, as if they were about to swallow themselves.
For these people who have always licked blood on the head of the knife for a living, no matter how strong and insidious the enemy is, they will not be so afraid. But when faced with something that you don't understand, or even fear gods and ghosts, the situation is completely different.
At the same time, someone thought that Luo Yueying's disappearance was also quite strange, and it seemed that it was not something that could be done by manpower. Could it be that this time their enemies were really those ethereal ghosts and gods?
Cold sweat had slowly flowed out of everyone's faces and backs, and even Luo Chengzhang's face had changed a little. The handle of the knife in his hand was also a little slippery from the sweat on the palm of his hand, something he had hardly seen since he became an artist.
And just when everyone was in a high state of tension and trance because of this discovery, in the darkness, a bag suddenly bulged out of the soft soil......
