A hillside more than ten miles from the village.

In the middle of the hillside, there is a cave, and the entrance to the cave has been blocked by a big tree, if it is not for the fact that there is a cave here, no matter who it is, it is impossible to find that there is a cave here.

The road leading to the cave has been carefully covered, and there is no trace of the road, and from a distance, it is all green, and this is a pristine peak.

The two men had already come to the bottom of the mountain, they did not rush to the mountain, but at the bottom of the hillside, seemingly leisurely walking, half an hour passed, the two simply sat down at the bottom of the hillside.

An hour passed.

The two finally stood up, confident enough that no one was following them.

The two began to walk cautiously towards the hillside, and at their feet, a path miraculously appeared.

Soon, the news of the two was behind a big tree, and they were no longer to be seen.

Liu Tiehan felt his body tingle.

Early in the morning, he and a few brothers followed the two of them to set off, and among the hundreds of people in the village, only these two people came out, and they seemed sneaky, paying attention all the way to see if anyone was following them.

If it weren't for Liu Tiehan and the brothers who have amazing skills, I'm afraid they would have been discovered a long time ago.

He watched the two of them walk up the hillside, and memorized it in his mind.

The two of them disappeared behind the big tree, and he was a little surprised, could it be that in the middle of the hillside, there was a road, so that the two of them did not need to go up the mountain.

Liu Tiehan made a gesture to the brother behind him, and soon another person followed him.

The two walked to the bottom of the mountain with great caution. Following the route of the two people up the mountain just now, they slowly groped towards it, approaching the grass that was one person high, which could cover their whereabouts well.

Coming to the side of the big tree, Liu Tiehan lay down, what was the situation in front of him. He didn't know what to do, in case he startled the snake and exposed himself, it would be dangerous.

After crawling for a while, and didn't hear any movement, Liu Tiehan got up and slowly approached the big tree, and another person observed the movement around him.

Liu Tiehan was very cautious, he did not go around the tree directly. Instead, he carefully climbed the tree.

Behind the big tree, at the entrance of the cave, you can faintly see it, and there is a lot of grass in the mouth, and if you don't look closely, or if you don't have enough experience, you can't find it at all.

At the entrance, it seems that someone is standing guard. But it's not very clear.

Liu Tiehan broke out in a cold sweat, the entrance of the cave. The location is relatively high, and if you go around the big tree, you will soon be discovered by the people at the entrance of the cave, and as for who is hiding in the cave, you don't need to use your brain, you can guess.

No wonder these days. Jiang Ningying's brothers, they put a lot of effort into searching everywhere, but there was no effect, Zhang Xianzhong and others. It seems to have evaporated from Qiyue Mountain, and it can't be found at all.

Hiding in such a cave, even if tens of thousands of troops come to search, I am afraid that they will not be found.

Liu Tiehan came down very carefully, greeted the brothers who followed, and slowly descended the mountain, trying not to make a sound.

When he arrived at the place where many brothers were ambushed, Liu Tiehan gave an order, the three brothers, hurry up and inform Lord Su Tiancheng and lead the army here, and the rest of the brothers will stay with him and continue to observe to see if there will be any accidents.

The cave was large and the ground was dry, and there were hundreds of people hiding without the slightest problem.

Zhang Xianzhong was closing his eyes and recuperating, and many pro-soldiers were scattered around.

In order to be able to escape, he paid the price, hundreds of war horses, all given to the people in the village, and the gold and silver he carried, he couldn't take out a lot, and he also felt that something was wrong when he came into contact with the people in the village, but at this time, he needed to save his life, and the rest didn't have to worry about.

Escaping to the depths of Qiyue Mountain, Zhang Xianzhong knew that he had to rely on the people in the mountains to escape the pursuit.

His luck was still good, hundreds of horses, plus gold and silver, the people in the village nodded, some people said that they brought it here, a natural hiding place, and more assured, in the cave, there was a lot of food stored, enough for them to consume for a while.

What happened outside, Zhang Xianzhong didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to send his own soldiers out to investigate, in case he was caught and the hiding place was exposed, it would be worth the loss.

There are also dissatisfactions, according to the past practice, hundreds of people need to disperse and hide, so that they can grasp some of the outside situation, so as to facilitate mutual coordination and echo, but the people in the village do not do it, and Zhang Xianzhong has no way.

The surroundings have been quiet, watching the time slowly pass, Zhang Xianzhong began to think about this fiasco, and even thought about how to learn the lesson of this time after escaping from Qiyue Mountain and returning to Shaanxi.

The loss of tens of thousands of sergeants, of course he was distressed, but what was even more distressing was that this group of pro-soldiers, 2,000 pro-soldiers, followed by less than 500 people, the losses were too heavy, these pro-soldiers are the elite of the elite, and it is not easy to cultivate.

Which army of the imperial court is the opponent, Zhang Xianzhong is not clear, from beginning to end, they did not see the other party's commander, and they didn't even have time to fight, they fell into the situation of fleeing for their lives, faintly, he felt that this time he must have met the Jiangning battalion, thinking of the commander of the Jiangning battalion Su Tiancheng, Zhang Xianzhong hated so much that his teeth were about to be crushed.

The fiasco of the Battle of Zhongdu was because of this Su Tiancheng, who had already laid out his pockets, this time, he did everything possible to calculate, he thought it was foolproof, but he didn't expect to fall into a heavy siege again, and 50,000 soldiers were all reimbursed.

In the past few days, he has often lost his temper, and the soldiers around him dare not speak casually, and the atmosphere in the cave is very depressing.

Two people came to the village, and Zhang Xianzhong quickly stood up.

Staying in a cave, deaf and blind, and not knowing anything, is not a good time.

One of the two spoke straight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial army came to the village, stayed for three days, just evacuated yesterday, the lord said, you came to the village and caused trouble, but the lord has promised you, nothing has been said, but you also have to find a way, get out of here, after all, there are so many people in the village, after a long time, if anyone informes, it is also impossible to say, the lord does not want to lose his reputation."

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and stopped the pro-soldiers who were about to lose their temper.

"We have no problem leaving, we will have to leave sooner or later, but can you tell me a little bit about the situation outside."

"I don't know much about the road, the imperial army seems to be searching the mountain, but you can rest assured, the imperial army can't search here, even if it reaches the foot of the mountain, it is impossible to know the cave of the road."

"Zhilu said, this little brother, go back and tell your master, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, give me two days, I will leave here, and I will not make trouble for you."

Zhang Xianzhong said that this was the village driving itself away, afraid of causing trouble.

He and his brothers came here, there are not many people in the village who know the way, such a secret place, it is impossible for everyone to know the way, according to his past temper, when he saw such a thing, he would have cut off the heads of the two of them, but now he can't do this, how dare he not bow his head under the eaves of people, in Qi Yue Mountain, he is not very familiar with it, in case he gets lost, or if he is not careful, he sees the army of the imperial court, he can't save his life, and all his efforts are in vain.

The two people in the village nodded, ready to leave.

"The two little brothers are slow, our team Qi Yueshan is not familiar, even if we leave here, I don't know which direction the road is going, please ask the two little brothers, tell your master, if someone is willing to show us the way, I am willing to give a thousand taels of gold if I leave Qi Yueshan unknowingly."

The eyes of one person in the village lit up, a thousand taels of gold, and no one could be indifferent.

"Well, after we go back, we will report to the lord immediately, tomorrow at noon, we will come here, whether it is successful or not, we will come."

Zhang Xianzhong smiled, he already understood the thoughts of the two, even if the village leader did not agree, the two would come happily on the basis of one thousand taels of gold.

Zhang Xianzhong took out two ingots of gold and handed them to the two of them.

"The two little brothers have worked hard, I must help talk about it, tomorrow afternoon, I will wait for the two of you."

After watching the two leave the cave, the soldiers beside Zhang Xianzhong spoke.

"Dashuai, my subordinates feel that the people in the village are not credible, so they have to guard against it."

Zhang Xianzhong looked at his soldiers and motioned for him to continue.

"The subordinates feel that they should be careful, and send someone to follow these two people to see if they have returned to the village, if the village is ready to betray us, we will not be blocked here."

This time, Zhang Xianzhong did not hesitate.

"This opinion is very good, you take a few people, follow them, go to the village, pay attention to observation along the way, and bring back the news before noon tomorrow."

Liu Tiehan saw the two people in the village come out.

This time, he could see a little more clearly, and he could even hear the laughter of the two.

After the two left, within a few minutes, five people came out again.

Liu Tiehan's eyes widened, the clothes of these people had already revealed their identities, and they were the personal soldiers beside Zhang Xianzhong.

Liu Tiehan was excited, and finally discovered Zhang Xianzhong's hiding place.

The five people who came out of the cave were very cautious, kept observing the surroundings, and soon followed the direction of the two people in the village and followed the past.

Liu Tiehan began to feel the seriousness of the situation, he remembered Su Tiancheng's words, maybe Zhang Xianzhong was really going to run away, if he left here and went to other places in Qiyue Mountain, it would take a huge amount of energy to find it.

After the figures of the five disappeared, Liu Tiehan whispered to the soldiers around him.

"With the fastest speed, report to Lord Su, just say that Zhang Xianzhong is hiding here, and he may be about to escape, please send heavy troops to come as soon as possible, you can't delay time." (To be continued......)
