Chapter 40 Pursuit of the Enemy

With the help of the city guard battalion, Li Yuanhong confronted the thieves and finally committed suicide in order to protect his name. Mu Tong and this Zhou steward had a friendly negotiation, and as a reciprocat, Mu Tong also needed to speak for the other party on this matter.

"Report!"

An iron horse galloped over, turned over and dismounted, and reported directly to Mu Tong.

"Report to the young master, we have tracked down the trace of the thief leader, which is on the Tiger Cat Mountain a hundred miles away, and the thief leader has fled to the Tiger Cat Mountain!"

"Oh, that's good. Go down and rest. ”

"Eleven, prepare your men and prepare to attack. ”

Greeted Wei Shiyi from afar, and Mu Tong turned his head to look at Zhou Guanying beside him.

"Zhou Guanying, I don't think it's up to Mu to do the good things for you. It's better to go with Mu and go to suppress the bandits. It must be a great achievement. Don't you feel like Mu's very false words?"

Zhou Guanying was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he was a little worried.

"Young Master Mu, the soldiers of my battalion are only 500 people, if the thieves are powerful, I am afraid that there will be no return. Besides, it is a great sin to go out of the city without permission. ”

"Zhou Guanying's words are wrong, as the so-called generals are outside, and the king's order is not affected. Smelling the enemy's traces like this, if you don't do anything, wouldn't it chill the heart of Black Dragon City's Baixin. Besides, my men are fast, and you lead them after you, and if I am not defeated, you will go away on your own. If you are afraid of violating the order, you only need to send someone to the city lord's mansion to report it, saying that the incident happened suddenly, and you should set off first, but send someone to ask for the order to follow. It's best to ask the city lord to send more troops, so that nothing goes wrong. This thief has done evil three times and twice in Black Dragon City, and the city lord must be eager to break this bureaucratic corpse into thousands of pieces, and now that Zhou Guanying is the first soldier, the city lord will definitely not blame you. If you can kill a few thieves, Zhou Guanying's promotion path will be stable. What else is there to hesitate about. ”

Listening to Mu Tong's encouraging and straightforward words, Zhou Guanying was moved. Wealth and danger are sought, if you don't take risks, your own official will be considered the end, it is better to follow the Mu family's blunt words and fight. Anyway, with Mu Jiatie riding in front of the road, he will not be so unlucky, seeing that the situation is not good, he will slip away first.

Having made up his mind, Steward Zhou nodded in agreement. Leaving some of the old, weak, sick and disabled subordinates of the headquarters to treat the people, he took more than 400 young and strong people, followed the Mu family's iron horse, and went out of the city.

Mu Tong saw that the iron cavalry led by Eleven had already gone away, and then said to the woman beside him: "Girl, this is not as good as in the city, I have no time to take care of myself, so you can go back to Mu Mansion first and wait for me." It's so decided, you can't be willful. Someone, send the girl home. ”

After that, Mu Tong turned over and rode away with Mo Qing, who was riding a small hair stove. The vanguard went after him.

The four worshippers who accompanied them looked at each other, leaving two to escort the woman back to the house, and the other two used their skills to secretly protect Mu Tong.

Heading all the way west, facing the strong wind blowing in his face, Mo Qing followed Mu Tong's side and said: "Young master, this trip is too dangerous, if someone ambushes halfway, I am afraid that the young master is in danger, it is better for the young master to go back to the mansion and wait for the news, I should go back with the head of the thief to restore my life." ”

Mu Tong looked at Mo Qing riding on the donkey with envy, this little hairy furnace god horse is incomparable, even the best war horse is not its opponent, and now it is on the same level as himself, but it has slowed down.

I don't know where my mother-in-law found this guy in the first place, I rode it once when I was a child, but I don't know if the god chooses the master, and I just don't agree with this little donkey. In the end, it was the young Mo Qing who won its favor and became its master.

"What did Xiao Qingzi say, because this trip is dangerous, I can't let you go alone. Besides, I swore that I should have taken this one with my own hands. ”

"But doesn't that reveal much? After all, the person behind the scenes is still ......."

"You're thinking too much, these two people are clearly outcasts, and the people behind the scenes don't want to show up, obviously it's not time yet. So no matter how much we try, it's useless, so it's better to swallow the other party's bait first. Respond to change with the same. Besides, we still have a backhand, otherwise you and I will do everything possible to fool the city guard camp why it came. is to force the city lord's mansion to make a statement. Is it so easy for him to watch the fire from the other side? Others don't know his details, don't we know yet? We have been testing each other for more than ten years, if my mother-in-law doesn't say it, who knows that our city lord is actually a saint-level powerhouse. It's just that he couldn't imagine that he was hiding so deeply, and there were still people in my Mu family who could see through his form. ”

"Well, I can't tell you. But if there is danger, you need to ride the smoke and rain to chase the clouds first. ”

"Yes, yes, you're almost so verbose that you have a fight with my mother. But Xiao Hei is Xiao Hei, what is it called [Smoke and Rain Chasing Clouds]? No matter how good it sounds, it can't change the fact that it is a donkey. ”

"Quack!"

Mu Fairy sounded all the way, and the little hair furnace under Mo Qing screamed dissatisfiedly, obviously it also heard Mu Tong's words, and spoke out against (harmony) by itself!

"What's it called! Quarrel back and detain your turnip!"

"Quack, quack, quack!"

Xiao Maolu was angry, let go of his hooves directly, ran in front of Mu Tong, and raised a puff of dust.

"Bah, bah, you little bastard, if you don't stop, I'll just confiscate your rations!"

"Young master, you should threaten it less! Otherwise, I won't be able to persuade it! You don't know how stubborn it is!"

"No, where will I put my face!"

"Well, then you can take it yourself. ”

Looking at the competing one person and one animal, Mo Qing lay on the donkey speechlessly, and fell down together.

Mo Qing knew that this was the young master making himself happy, after all, he had been a little more angry recently. How could a delicate person like the young master not be able to find it.

[It's just that the young master, there are some knots in my heart, which you can't untie!]

A ghostly light flashed in Mo Qing's eyes, and then faded away.

"Bang!" two cold rays of light shot out from the woods beside the road, heading straight for Mu Tong.

"Good time!"

The whip in Mo Qing's hand flicked and directly stopped a cold light, and the little donkey stopped messing around, and directly slowed down to protect the direction between Mu Tong and the cold light.

Two cold lights, one was stopped by Mo Qing, and the other went towards Mu Tong, but Mu Tong, who had been prepared, directly lay on the horse's back, and the cold light passed directly over Mu Tong's head and fell short.

"Young master don't worry, I'll leave it to the old man here!"

An old roar came from behind him, and one of the Dharma protectors who was secretly accompanying him had already cast his body and rushed towards the place where the cold arrows were released in the forest.

The two men who were attacked did not hesitate and continued to gallop on horseback.

"Young master, something is wrong. It stands to reason that our speed should have caught up with the city guard camp a long time ago, but why is it nowhere to be seen? More than 400 people. This assassination came suddenly, and it makes no sense that they didn't meet it, we did. Unless ......"

"Don't speculate, just move carefully. I estimate that I will soon be able to catch up with my Mu family iron horse, and then it will be clear what the situation is. ”

"Yes, young master!"

The master and servant cheered up, quickened their speed, and hurried forward.

A hundred miles of land, to put it bluntly, is only fifty kilometers, with the foot strength of the Mu family's high-grade war horses, you can reach Humao Mountain in half an hour. However, the two Mu Tong who arrived at the foot of Tiger Cat Mountain couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at the strange foot of the mountain.

The neat fifty horsemen were tied to the edge of the woods at the foot of the mountain, and there was not even a single guard.

There were no signs of a fight around, and there were no passers-by.

It is impossible for the Mu family iron rider to discard his mount at will. Therefore, there must have been an accident.

"Young master, something is wrong. ”

"Well, be careful. Go up the mountain first, the mountain road is difficult, and mine will not go immediately. Your little black can go up. When the situation is not good, you go first. ”

"No way!"

"Shut up. That's an order. You want to break the order?"

Mo Qing was speechless. Growing up in the Mu family, he naturally knows that obeying orders in the Mu family is based on this criterion. In peacetime, no matter what, once the order is given from above, it must be obeyed, regardless of status and status, there is only one requirement for the wartime order, and it must be obeyed and acted.

Dismounted and lifted the sword, Mu Tong took the lead, and behind him was Mo Qing who was holding a short knife in one hand and a horse whip in the other. Followed by the wordless little donkey [Smoke and Rain Chasing Clouds].
