Chapter 13: The Killing (1).

"Phew!"

Dong Li grabbed the reins of the horse and raised his knife to look at the horse slave running in front.

I have to admire this guy, he has been running for two pillars of incense, and this guy can still run in front of him.

In the gravel, there were several piles of horse manure.

The hounds swirled around, barking softly from time to time. And Manu lay on the ground, and after a while, he ran to Dong Li's horse and said, "Young Master, they seem to have changed direction." ”

"Change direction? In which direction did you go? ”

"These people are very shrewd, and there are obviously experienced people who are suspicious. Master, I'm worried that we may have been fooled. ”

"Fooled?"

A gust of wind swept by, and Dong Yan involuntarily struck a chill. He looked at Manu with burning eyes, and the face that usually made people feel scared at a glance was now even more cloudy, and it made people feel a little more afraid.

Manu shuddered, "This way down, the other party has made a total of three changes of direction. ”

Dong Li was silent, and placed the nine-eared and eight-ring mountain chopping knife horizontally on the saddle bridge, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Go on!"

"The first turn was by the river, and from the imprints they left behind, there were probably more than thirty people. Then they changed direction again in the little bald mountain, and although they tried their best to hide, the villain felt that something seemed to be wrong. I just checked it again, and finally found the problem. Only horses, no one! ”

Dong Li shook his head, "What did you say?" ”

Manu swallowed, "Or rather, their numbers have decreased. The number of horses has not decreased, but at least two-thirds of them are empty. That is, it is likely that at the first turn, some of them abandoned their horses. ”

Dong Yan's fingers lightly tapped on the blade, making a sudden dull sound.

"Who's that...... It's you, come here! ”

He pointed at Dong E and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure those people said they were going to burn Geqiang?" ”

"It's true to listen to it."

"How many of them are there?"

"About forty people, some of them didn't go on foot, not as many as he said there were thirty horses."

Dong Yan gasped, "It's not good, I'm fooled!" ”

"Young Master, what's going on?"

"Since you said you didn't have so many horses, and he said there were more than thirty horses, if you didn't lie, it means that the Taiping thieves met their comrades on the way. Moreover, believe that there are quite a few of them, otherwise so many horses would not have been sent...... A dozen people rode horses and took us around in circles, but what about the others, the others? ”

"This ......"

Dong Yan slapped his forehead: After learning the art of war for so long, he couldn't even see this plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

"The whole army obeyed the order, went back to the pasture, returned to the pasture......"

Dong Li reacted, but he was afraid that after those people converged, they would focus on the top of the ranch. Now, he has drained more than half of the power of the pasture, so isn't the ranch dangerous? Big sister and Lu Yi, there is danger!

Who knows, Manu grabbed Dong Li's reins.

"You're looking for death!" Dong Li was furious and raised his knife to kill Manu.

Manu said loudly, "Young Master, please listen to me. Those people may have gone to attack the ranch, but there is no guarantee that the fourth lady must be in their hands. What if Miss Four is in the hands of these dozen people? ”

The machete froze in the air.

Dong Li's slender eyes narrowed, looked at Manu and said, "What's your name?" ”

"The villain's name is Xiao Tie."

"If I let people follow you, can you catch up with those guys?"

"As long as they're around here, the villain will be able to find them."

Dong Li said: "More than a dozen enemies, how many helpers do you need?" ”

Xiao Tie's chest straightened, "Young master, you are too underestimating the villain." Although the villain is thin and not very old, when it comes to killing, the villain is no worse than anyone else. Give the villain ten, no, eight at most, and the villain will come to you with their heads. ”

"Dong E!"

"Inferior!"

"Take twenty people and listen to Xiao Tie's orders. If you find each other, none stay. If the fourth sister is in their hands, bring me back safely. If you do well, the young master promises to give you a good future. ”

When Dong E heard this, he was overjoyed.

Although he knew that Dong Yan had no power at home, he was deeply loved by the old lady and befriended the two young ladies. Even if he doesn't say it, if he says a word in front of the two young ladies and Captain Niu, he can be regarded as a soaring talent.

"I am determined to live up to my mission."

Dong Li glanced at Manu again, and suddenly smiled: "Xiao Tie, whether you can save Miss or not, I will give you a good background." From now on, you will be my personal guard, and I will give you the surname Dong, Dong Tie...... That's your name from now on. ”

Manu was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt in front of Dong Li's horse: "Dong Tie will definitely live up to the high expectations of the lord." ”

"Let's go!"

Dong Li led people and galloped away like a gust of wind. And Dong Tie drank those sheepdogs, and after the strange dog barked in his mouth, the sheepdogs immediately scattered and ran away.

Dong E asked strangely, "Boy, what are you doing here?" ”

Dong Tie's eyes narrowed, and a fierce look flashed on his delicate face, which was still puffy, "I want to determine their whereabouts, and at the same time reduce the scope of their roundabouts." The smaller the scope of their activities, the less effort we can have. ”

This kid is really not simple!
