Chapter 43: Saving People on (Collect)
At dusk, the sun sets over the distant mountains, and the glow is like a match.
In the mountains and forests, the tired birds return to the forest, and there is silence.
On the official road, which was supposed to be quiet, a cloud of dust was raised, and Zhang Mu took the Yan family brothers to cross the city of Zhudao, and when they arrived at the place where the python tiger said, they slowed down.
Zhang Mu had already seen Jinyiwei's code in the car, which could be regarded as an eye-opener.
It turns out that there are all kinds of codes, what is there here, contact me, be cautious, there are fixed patterns, these patterns are very simple, basically you can remember at a glance.
Zhang Mu didn't know how to ride a horse, so after getting out of the car, he searched along both sides of the official road, until he reached a forest, Zhang Mu finally saw the mark left by the python tiger, and the mark told Zhang Mu that it was here.
Zhang Mu looked up, and there was a dense forest on both sides of the official road in front of him, and if he was ambushed here, it would be an excellent location.
The people of the Ming Dynasty need to go out on the road, because the procedures are troublesome, so most of them don't like to go out, this is the official road leading to Jinhua Mansion in the county, and it is not a traffic rush, so there are not many pedestrians on the road in Pingrì. Moreover, the southern waterways extend in all directions, and it is far more convenient to take a boat than to walk.
If you start here, as long as the ambush is good, the chance of success is very high, Zhang Mu can't help but be a little worried about Han Fangshan.
If Zhang Chi dies and Han Fangshan also dies, the dog official surnamed Song will definitely not let them go of the Zhang family, so no matter what, they must find Han Fangshan, and they must see people in life and corpses in death.
Zhang Mu turned around and saw that the people brought by the Yan family seemed to have some skills, one of them was wearing a gray cloth and an old man with a potholed old face half-kneeling on the ground, looked around, and then got up and said: "Shaodong, there have been traces of a fight here, and there are a lot of people. β
Zhang Mu and Yan hurriedly walked over, and the old man explained: "You see that there are a lot of arrow troughs in this wood, and they are all new, if I ambush here, I will definitely put dark arrows on the treetops opposite." With that, the old man scratched up the loess on the ground with his hand.
At that moment, when a layer of floating soil was lifted, and sure enough, a dark red sludge was revealed on the ground, and the old man pinched a little and put it on the tip of his nose and said, "It's bloodstains, it seems that someone has been shot here." However, their ambush may not be very successful, so only some of them were left to clean up the battlefield, and the rest should be chased in. β
"Grandpa Zhou, do you know where they went?" asked sternly and kindly.
The old man surnamed Zhou got up and walked into the woods, looked at it for a while, and said, "It should be southwest." Don't worry, the old man has been hunting all his life, and it is not a problem to chase a few living people. β
"Let's go." Zhang Mu said immediately, but the carriage could no longer come in here, so he had to ride a horse with Yan Su and continue to advance towards the mountains and forests.
When I walked halfway through the woods, I felt less than a quarter of an hour, and sure enough, I saw that a bush had fallen here, and the ground was very messy.
Old man Zhou turned over and dismounted, and after checking the ground for a while, he walked straight to a mountainous fault zone, and there was a trench below, which should have been washed by rain.
There was a branch hidden on the trench, and Old Man Zhou lifted the branch, and immediately saw seven or eight corpses, all of them covered in blood and dead.
Zhang Mu glanced at it and said, "They are all Jinyi Guards, I saw them at the Yuelai Inn this morning." It seems that there is an ambush. β
"There have been fierce battles here, but they have been very short, and the number of enemies is so great that I am afraid that they are several times larger. Is the person you're looking for in there? Old man Zhou asked.
Zhang Mu shook his head, and guessed in his heart that Han Fangshan must have seen that the situation was wrong, so he ordered them to block the pursuers, and he continued to flee with people, and all of them died here.
"Then let's go." Old man Zhou turned over and dismounted, and continued to investigate.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the five fingers in the woods could not be reached, and the speed of the search suddenly slowed down.
I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly Old Man Zhou turned over and dismounted, and immediately turned around and said, "Be quiet." β
So everyone got off their horses and hid behind the woods, at this time, Zhang Mu saw a fire in the distance, and faintly heard someone talking.
Yan Yan made a gesture at the moment, and his people took out their weapons one after another, and then touched them step by step, Zhang Mu followed them carefully, and everyone held their breath.
"Damn, that's a sin. They went to the front to arrest people and receive rewards, leaving a few of us here to break the back. Dig a pit for a day ....... β
"Let's be less verbose, the people caught in front of us are not waiting for idle goods, our two banners of people, seven or eight were injured, and three died. Really let you go, you fucking die here, aren't you afraid that your newly married daughter-in-law will hook up a man? β
There was a burst of laughter.
Zhang Mu and the others hid in the bushes and saw four or five big men in front of them, who were eating around the bonfire at the moment, and a big pit had been dug on the side, which should be used to bury the corpses.
At this time, he made a few stern gestures, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took off the longbow from his back, took out a feather arrow and put it on, and several men standing beside him also took out their bows and crossbows to aim.
"Kill!" There was a low shout, and suddenly Zhang Mu only heard the sound of swishing breaking the sky, and then saw a miserable scream coming from around the bonfire.
Putting down the longbow, he sternly drew his saber and rushed out, four of the five people on the other side were killed, and only one was alive, and before he could react, he saw a group of people rushing out of the woods, and turned around in fright and ran.
It's a pity that he took a full step, shook the Yanling knife in his hand sternly, and threw it out hard, and at the moment the Yanling knife was nailed straight into the person's leg, and then Zhang Mu saw that the guy rolled to the ground with a pop.
Then the Yan family's people rushed up and controlled him.
Zhang Mu was dumbfounded, and Liu An on the side was also stunned, only Yan Su seemed to be accustomed to it.
"Zhang Mu, where did these people come from? It's beautiful. Liu An asked curiously.
"Don't worry." Zhang Mu didn't dare to say much, judging from the arrest just now, it was done in one go, obviously it was usually cooperated, otherwise it would not be possible at all, more than a dozen people shot together, killed four and left one alive, a few simple gestures were completed, and I wondered in my heart that this Yan family was not so simple as doing business.
Zhang Mu hurriedly rushed over, squatted on the ground and asked, "How many of you are there?" Where are they now? β
"Uncle spare your life, we are the hunters in the mountains...... oops!" Before he could finish speaking, the old man surnamed Zhou kicked him on the wound, and suddenly there was a scream like killing a pig.
"Fuck your mother, if you are a hunter, how did these corpses come from? No matter how honest you are, Lao Tzu will kill you with one sword. The old man surnamed Zhou said angrily.
"You bold thieves, Lao Tzu is an officer and soldier of the guard, if you move Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will kill you." At this time, the one that looks soft can't be good, so it's just hard.
Zhang Mu walked over, pulled out the knife that was inserted in his leg, and without saying a word, inserted it into his other leg, stepped on his crotch and said angrily: "You are from the guard?" Jinyiwei, you dare to kill too, I think you are impatient with the whole family? Now that you have confessed, you are still guilty of meritorious service, if you bite and don't say it, do you want to connect the nine clans? β
