Unlike his younger brother's rugged appearance, Hou Yue's height is only about 1.7 meters, his face is fair, and he looks slightly feminine. Because of his long time at sea, his body appeared extremely well-proportioned and thin, but no one on the island dared to ignore him.

Because he's a viper.

Looking at Dulong's bloody head on the ground, and the hideous wounds on his abdomen and legs, the murderous aura in Hou Yue's eyes became more and more intense, and he slowly stretched out his trembling left hand and smeared the eyelid of his younger brother's right eye, which was still open.

After checking the ground around Dulong's corpse, Hou Yue picked up a touch of damp soil on the ground, sniffed the smell of blood in between, and said after a long time: "We're late, he's been gone for an hour and a half." ”

The tone was smooth, not hurried or slow, but all his subordinates were present, and they all clearly felt the anger hidden between Hou Yue's words, and they were suddenly even more silent, standing silently behind Hou Yue and not daring to answer.

Regardless of the broken branches and leaves that were still bubbling with sparks around, Hou Yue got up and walked to the cliff, looking at the thin monkey with blurred flesh and blood on his chest, Hou Yue asked the crowd behind him in an indifferent tone: "How many thistles did you steal a few days ago and give to the thin monkey?" ”

Zhang Duo, who was standing behind Hou Yue in the crowd, stepped forward, bowed to Hou Yue and said, "Lord Helmsman, all the thistles have been taken away by the Dulong brothers?" ”

Hearing the words of his subordinates, Hou Yue was silent for a long time. If there is something good in the team, he will be the first to take it away by his younger brother, and he has always connived at this kind of thing.

"How many are there?"

"Seventeen"

Hou Yue heard Zhang Duo's reply, stopped asking, squatted down and looked at a dirty footprint next to the wound on the thin monkey's chest, and measured it with his own hand.

Looking at his movements, Zhang Duo, who had replied before, tentatively stepped forward and asked, "Helmsman, could it be that the Imperial City Division went out and caught up with us?" ”

Imperial City Division!

Hearing these three words, the rest of the silent people in the team couldn't help but tremble, their faces instantly turned pale, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal a terrifying look.

That was the most mysterious organization in the Great Song Dynasty, a well-known existence in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and compared to other forces, the Imperial City Division existed like a giant beast. They were accepted by the Song royal family because they planned the Chenqiao Mutiny, and they were only loyal to each generation of emperors, and were directly governed by the emperor, and there were endless masters under their command.

And these people, even the people on the island, almost six or seven times out of ten have entered the Imperial City Division, and they still feel a cramp in their stomachs when they think about the hellish scene inside.

Hou Yue didn't speak, until he checked all the marks on the cliff, then got up, walked into the woods, shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be the Imperial City Division, we have only been leaving Tokyo for less than two days, and the Imperial City Division is far away from us even if it is dispatched." ”

Zhang Duo seemed to be about to continue asking, but suddenly thought of something, immediately closed his mouth, and followed Hou Yue with everyone.

In the case of the helmsman's anger, it is better not to argue with him!

Walking in front of Dulong's corpse, Hou Yue inhaled slowly, sniffed the burning smell in the forest, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Bury the two of them, and we will chase him." ”

Everyone dug two pits in the forest, put the bodies of Dulong and the thin monkey into the pits, and buried them in the soil.

Zhang Duo stood behind Hou Yue, watched everyone's movements, and asked Hou Yue in front of him softly: "Helmsman, will we continue to look for hostages next, or will we pursue the murderer who killed the Dulong brothers?" ”

Hou Yue looked at the grave where his younger brother was buried on the ground, shook his head and said, "There is no murderer, we just need to find the hostages." ”

Zhang Duo's eyes widened in confusion, his face was puzzled, and he didn't understand why the helmsman said that there was no murderer, wasn't the helmsman ready to take revenge.

With a sneer, Hou Yue said in a calm tone: "If I say that the murderer is a hostage, do you believe it?" ”

The murderer is a hostage?

Zhang Duo looked at the side face of the helmsman in front of him, and shook his head with a sluggish face.

The others didn't know, but the hostage was captured by himself and the helmsman from the Mowang Mansion. I remember that before getting on the boat, when the prince was tied up by them, he was still crying and shouting to find his mother, and he was even more frightened when he was thrown on the raft, how could such a coward ......

"Helmsman, will you think too highly of this prince, he looked ...... before?"

Waving his hand, Hou Yue interrupted Zhang Duo's words, looked at the colorful morning glow that appeared in the sky, and sighed lightly: "Have you ever thought that his unbearable before was all pretended?" ”

"I had just searched the cliff for a long time, and on the right side of the cliff I saw the traces of the sword, and it was obvious that he had climbed up from the bottom of the cliff. Hou Xing had a total of seven wounds on his body, each of which was enough to cripple anyone, and the footprints that spread around their fight area were untidy though they seemed to be disorganized. ”

"This can only be practiced by famous teachers and even many times in actual combat, do you think such a strong person will simply be stunned because he was taken captive?"

Zhang Duo heard Hou Yue's analysis, and continued to ask with a puzzled face: "In this case, why do you think he is ......?"

"Because I've seen him before."

As if he knew what Zhang Duo wanted to ask, he said lightly.

Ignoring Zhang Duo, who was full of surprise, Hou Yue walked to the tomb that had been completely built, knelt down and was silent for a long time before whispering: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely kill him to avenge you." ”

Standing up and looking at the direction of the footprints, Hou Yue shouted angrily with a face full of anger.

"Chase!"

Zhao Lan didn't know that Hou Yue had already led the rest of the bandits and began to follow his footsteps and were rushing towards him.

He's running for his life like a headless fly now!

In the dark primeval forest, almost every step is full of dangers, and you have to guard against not only the vines scratching your body, but also a poisonous snake that suddenly sprang out of the clouds.

In order to prevent his body from being entangled in the vines, Zhao Lan took the short sword and slashed all the way, but he never thought that when he cut off a green vine as usual, suddenly a stream of blood shot out from the vines that he had cut off, spraying his face full of blood.

Oh, my God! Is this tree a fine man?

Zhao Lan looked at the twisting vines that fell to the ground, and her heart was full of surprise.

But then he reacted, damn, this is not a vine, this is a snake.

In an instant, he felt goosebumps on his head, and if he wanted to say what animal he hated the most, except for toads, snakes would definitely be at the top of the list.

Frowning and grinning, he jumped over the snake body that was broken in half on the ground and was still twisting, Zhao Lan shook his head and prepared to move on, but after a while, the sound of Suo Suo kept coming from his ears.

What's the weird noise?

Zhao Lan looked behind him suspiciously, and his eyes suddenly cracked.

Among the ankle-high weeds, among the towering and twisting branches, the blue-green snake bodies climbed and shuttled on it, the scales on their bodies rubbing against the grass and trees, constantly making trivial sounds.

Like a shark smelling blood, all the snakes gathered next to the snake body that was cut off by Zhao Lan, and instantly tore the poor green snake into pieces and swallowed it, and then collectively raised their heads, staring at Zhao Lan not far away with glowing eyes.
