Su Shilong didn't speak for a long time, and when he saw that Su Shichang said something quite reasonable, he couldn't help but nod his head. He suddenly remembered something and asked Tan Heng: "Brother Tan, where is Su Xiaowu?" ”

Su Xiaowu was originally his nephew, but because he was from the Xiang Army, he usually spent more time with Tan Heng. This time, Fan Ye and the others came back from Changsha, and they didn't see Su Xiaowu's shadow again. Until the battle outside the village, Black Spider, Gu Zilong and others left, everyone was busy, and no one paid attention to Su Xiaowu's whereabouts. As soon as Su Shilong asked, everyone remembered, yes, where did Su Xiaowu go?

Tan Heng was also stunned, "Didn't you send Xiao Wu out?" I didn't see him. ”

This said, everyone was a little puzzled, Fan Ye and Lao Bai and others were arrested, and Su Xiaowu escaped by luck, but where did he go?

While the Su brothers and Tan Heng were speculating about Su Xiaowu's whereabouts, he was actually experiencing a strange encounter.

On that day, when the people led by Fan Ye were going to the carriage and horse shop to prepare for accommodation, they were all captured by the men and horses sent by Lu Daya, Su Xiaowu was a step late, but he accidentally escaped arrest, and he was so frightened that he fled out of the city quickly. At that time, the officers and soldiers in the city were noisily searching for martial law, and after escaping from the city, Su Xiaowu patted his chest and said, "Amitabha, thank God." ”

Because it was getting late, he was afraid of encountering officers and soldiers, so he didn't dare to take the main road, so he panicked and hurriedly walked forward along a small road, just wanting to get away from Changsha as soon as possible. Because he is a member of the Hunan army, if he is caught by Zhang Jingyao's soldiers, he will be guilty of one more crime than Fan Ye.

He didn't know how far he had walked, he was afraid that there would be pursuers behind him, so he hurried away, and walked straight to sweat profusely, and saw that there was a crossroads in front of him, and there were a few stones on the side of the road, he felt tired, so he walked over and sat on a stone to rest, wiped his sweat, and saw that it was far away from the city, so he was relieved.

This is a wilderness, silent and uninhabited, discerning the direction, because just now I was in a panic, and I don't know where to go, I want to find someone to ask for directions, but it is difficult to find pedestrians in the wilderness at night, and I am worried, and a sound of footsteps came.

Su Xiaowu was just happy, but he felt that the footsteps were wrong, the footsteps from far and near were chaotic and urgent, as if several people were running, and in a blink of an eye, three black shadows ran from behind and shouted to Su Xiaowu: "Who is in front?" Is it the buddy of the old eight? ”

Su Xiaowu didn't make a sound, he didn't know who the eighth child was, he was wondering, from another road, there was also a sound of footsteps, turned his head to look, and two figures also ran over, shouting while running: "Run, the officers and soldiers are chasing after me." ”

As soon as he heard "the officers and soldiers are chasing after him", Su Xiaowu's heart that he had just put down suddenly became nervous again, and what he was most afraid of was that the officers and soldiers were chasing after him, and at this time, he heard a gunshot from the "horn" in the distance, which confirmed that the "officers and soldiers" were indeed chasing over. The two figures also shouted to Su Xiaowu, "Are you Boss Hong?" ”

"It's me." The one who agreed, but it was one of the three dark shadows who ran over, with a high-pitched voice that resembled a woman, and the two groups of people ran to the crossroads, converged, and hurriedly said, "Quick, run, there are soldiers." Then they ran forward together, Su Xiaowu was caught in the middle, he was in a dilemma, staying here, afraid of being caught by the officers and soldiers, running with them, and I didn't know where these people came from, when he heard another gunshot behind him, he no longer hesitated, followed behind these people, and ran forward.

After running for a while, Su Xiaowu asked the person in front: "Who are the officers and soldiers chasing?" ”

"Who knows who to chase, anyway, if you catch up, you'll be unlucky, so run away."

Confused, he ran away with people again, and after hearing that the gunshots behind him did not sound again, Su Xiaowu gradually calmed down, and said in his heart, what am I running blindly, the black light is blind, and I am running around with these unidentified people, what should I do if I get on the thief ship? He stopped, and then the path turned a corner, and a small courtyard in front of him was lit, and the people said happily, "It's here, Neptune Temple." ”

The "Neptune Temple" was not in front of the village, there was no store in the back, it was lonely on the field, watching these people happily go straight there, Su Xiaowu quietly turned around and walked in the other direction.

"Brother, where are you going?" The "red boss" noticed Su Xiaowu's actions, looked puzzled, and asked sharply.

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Su Xiaowu said, speeding up his pace, but at this time, others were also suspicious of Su Xiaowu, and two or three people ran over together and asked, "Who are you?" "Old eight, is this your person?" "No, I thought it was your men."

Su Xiaowu ran away, and the few people behind him chased after him together, two of them were fast, and they rushed over in a few steps, grabbing Su Xiaowu by the arm, Su Xiaowu shouted: "Don't catch me, I'm a common man, and it's wrong to follow you." ”

"Throw that damn egg, isn't it a spy?" "Grab it first, ask and then talk." Those people couldn't help but say, twisted Su Xiaowu, and while scolding, they walked into the temple, and the two little monks in the temple came out, and said with a smile: "Eighth master, Boss Hong, you are here, my master is waiting, the wine and food are all set." ”

It's bad, it must have broken into the bandits' den, Su Xiaowu secretly called unlucky, listening to the tone of these people's words, it is definitely not a good kind, and the temple actually "has a good set of wine and food", which shows that most of these monks are fakes, and they are likely to be bandits.

A fat monk with a fat head and big ears came out of the meditation hall, with a string of prayer beads around his neck, and a big bald head shiny with oil, although he was wearing a monk's robe, he looked like a butcher. He looked at several people twisting Su Xiaowu, and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?" Tied up a meat ticket on the road? ”

"Pick up a fool," Boss Red said, twisting his waist and grinning. Su Xiaowu took a closer look, this person was obviously a man, and he spoke with a demeanor, but he looked like a woman, in the ancient temple on such a night, it looked demonic, which made people both confused and frightened.

"Damn, I met the officers and soldiers just now, and I was chased for a while, which is really unlucky." A man with a fierce face said: "We made an appointment with Boss Red to meet at the crossroads, but we don't know when we followed the officers and soldiers behind, and this kid stood at the intersection, I thought it was Boss Hong." ”

"We thought it was you, Eighth Master," Boss Hong said with a grin: "The black light is blind, this kid is poking there like a peg, by the way, could the officers and soldiers be attracted by him?" (To be continued.) )
