Chapter 670: Shi Biao's Death (3)
"Lord Qincha, this is Ah Chen, the son of an old friend of Xiaguan, with his help, I believe we can find those people as much as possible. βTop novel, x." Ma Weiran will personally bring this Ah Chen to see Meng Yan.
Chincha-sama?
Although Ah Chen is a mountain village man, he is not an ignorant person, and Qin Cha is the emperor's order, which is at least much greater than Ma Weiran's county order.
"The villain knocks on the old man!"
"No need to be polite, little brother, please get up, let's find another group of thieves, they may be hiding in the mountains near here, you are familiar with the environment here, can you tell the official, where is the most suitable place for Tibetans, but it is not easy to be discovered?" Meng Yan asked with a pleasant face.
"This ......" Ah Chen was a little nervous, after all, he had never seen the world.
"Don't be nervous, Ah Chen, whatever the adults tell you to say, you can say whatever you want." Ma Weiran said soothingly.
"It's okay to be wrong."
"Returning to the old man, the villain knows that a place can be hidden, but it is not necessarily ......"
"Oh, where?"
"To the west, there is a Dragon King Temple, there is a cave behind the Dragon King Temple, we all call it the Hidden Dragon Cave, ordinary people are easy to get lost when they go in, and they can't find the exit." Ah Chen said.
"Oh, and places like this?"
"My lord, do you want to go and have a look?" Everyone couldn't help frowning when they heard this, such a cave was really an excellent hiding place.
"Is the Dragon King Temple far from the official road?"
"It's not far, it's about twenty or thirty miles!" Ah Chen replied.
"Let's go, let's see!" Meng Yan immediately decided, if Shi Biao and the others were really hiding inside, it would be just to catch turtles in an urn.
"My lord, there is no news from Tianxing, should you wait?" Guo Xiaochao reminded.
"One Biao. What do you think? β
"Listening to what Ah Chen said, this road is possible, unless they abandon their war horses, they will never get rid of my tracking." Huang Yibiao said.
"Leave a team of people here to wait for the news, and the others will go with the official, little brother Ah Chen. I'm tired of you leading the way! Meng Yan decided.
Even if Shi Biao and the others were hiding in the cave, they would never stay in this place for too long, it was too dangerous, and once they found that the suspicious array could not work, they would face a cruel pursuit.
According to Ah Chen's guidance, Meng Yan and his party deviated westward from the official road, which was one of the branch roads where Shi Biao and them fled, but Huang Yibiao chased along the most obvious war horse, so this road was ignored.
It's a difficult road. They could only walk, and everyone could only abandon their horses and move forward on foot.
After walking for about half an hour, under the guidance of Ah Chen, Meng Yan and the others saw the Dragon King Temple halfway up the mountain.
"Ah Chen, a dragon king temple, how could it be built in this inaccessible place?"
"Master Hui Qincha, this place was originally inhabited. It was only later that the river was diverted and the place was deserted. The people have moved away from the land. Ah Chen explained.
"I see!" Meng Yan nodded, there is no river and no water source, how can the dealer be irrigated without a water source?
The people lived by the river, all to survive, there used to be a river here, and it didn't look small.
There is a temple of the dragon king. Not unusual.
"My lord, I found it again!" Huang Yibiao, who was walking in front, suddenly leaned down and found a piece of cloth armor in the grass on the side of the road.
"Zhang Chong!"
"My lord, that's right, this is the fabric of the cloth armor worn by Shi Biao and the others. I remember it clearly. Zhang Chong stepped forward and said with great certainty.
"Looks like we've come to the right place!" Meng Yan pursed slightly, if Shi Biao and the remnants were here, they would definitely be nearby.
"Let's be careful, our opponent is not the rabble of Bright Moon Valley!" Meng Yan snorted lightly.
"Little brother Ah Chen, is there a second way to go to that cave?"
"No, only from the Dragon King Temple, the villain didn't hear that there was a second way." Ah Chen thought for a moment and said solemnly.
"Okay, come and two people to protect Ah Chen and Master Ma, Yibiao, lead the top soldiers team to open the way, pay attention to safety!" Meng Yan ordered.
"Yes!"
Huang Yibiao nodded, put on chain mail, fully armed, led a team of five people, and quickly swept forward.
Every seven or eight meters, they would stop, carefully observe the surroundings, and only after making sure that it was safe did they send a signal to Meng Yan and the others behind them.
In this way, although the speed is very slow, in order to ensure safety, there are archers in the opponent.
Now that the enemy is in the dark and the self is in the light, we can't deal with it carelessly.
The Dragon King Temple is in front of you, but there are no special circumstances along the way, and Huang Yibiao has found a lot of traces.
The information sent back is that Shi Biao and others have indeed been here, but they are not still there, which is difficult to say.
The Dragon King Temple is dilapidated, but it can be seen from the momentum that the incense of this Dragon King Temple was still very prosperous in the past.
"My lord, they once entered the Dragon King Temple, there were twenty or thirty people, you see, the footprints on the ground, there are blood stains, and some of them are seriously injured......"
"Looks like they did spend the night here last night!" Meng Yan led people into the Dragon King Temple, and at the same time ordered the surrounding guards to be on guard.
"My lord, this ......"
Meng Yan turned around for inquiry, and in a corner of the main hall, the attentive guards found the blood-stained silk robe hidden behind the Sumeru Seat.
"Looks like they're around here!" Meng Yan became more and more sure of his judgment.
"My lord, they left in a hurry, and they didn't have time to cover up the traces, obviously, they were afraid that we would see through and catch up!"
"I'm tired and hungry, and some people are injured, and if you don't find food supplements and heal your injuries in time, you'll die......"
"They should have brought dry food with them, but not too much, too much will affect their movements, and the medicine for injuries will also last for two or three days at most, my lord, judging from the traces, they should have left."
"Yibiao, what do you think?"
"There is only one road down from the Dragon King Temple, and there is no trace of anyone leaving, maybe we should go and see the cave that Brother Ah Chen said?" Huang Yibiao thought for a while and said.
"Brother Ah Chen, where is the cave, take us over and have a look." Meng Yan nodded, he didn't believe that Shi Biao and the others left like this. With so many people still injured, it is difficult for them to go out without being discovered, not to mention that Meng Yan has now mobilized the power of the Jinyi Wei Public Opinion Division in this vicinity.
As long as these people appear in public, it is difficult to avoid being discovered.
"Lord Chincha, please come with the villain!" Ah Chen nodded in agreement. led Meng Yan towards the back of the Dragon King Temple.
There is only one trail behind the Dragon King Temple, and if it is not led by someone, there is no way to find another way up the mountain.
"My lord, be careful, no one has walked this road for a long time."
"There are traces of stampede!"
"Is it really hiding here?"
Halfway up the mountain, following Ah Chen's fingers, Meng Yan saw the entrance to the cave where he could hide, and the entrance was very small.
"Is that the hole?"
"Yes, Lord Chincha!" Ah Chen nodded.
"Zhang Chong. Take two men to touch it, be careful, if they are there, they must have a sentry at the entrance of the cave. Meng Yan waved his hand.
"You, you, follow me!" Zhang Chong pointed behind him, and the two team members almost lay on the ground with him.
"Hua Qingfang!"
"In!"
"You also go over and support Zhang Chong and them at any time!"
"Yes!" Hua Qingfang, who was carrying an iron tire bow, also followed. Touched it.
Everyone else fell to their stomachs, holding their breath. Silence! Meng Yan raised his hand behind him and pressed down.
Soon Zhang Chong used gestures to pass an exciting news to the back, there are people in the cave, but how many there are, I can't see clearly.
Meng Yan conveyed the order with a gesture and took out the sentry at the entrance of the cave. Paving the way for the brigade to enter.
Touching the whistle, Zhang Chong and these veteran players have all been carefully taught by Meng Yan, so it is not a difficult task.
The topography of the cave entrance is favorable to them, and the entrance is an upward opening. And Zhang Chong and others came up from below.
The only disadvantage is that the enemy arranged several sentry posts at the entrance of the cave, one or two?
If there is only one, it will be easy to do, and if it is two, it will be difficult to solve all of them before the enemy has warned the people inside.
Zhang Chong gave Hua Qingfang a gesture, which meant that he should cooperate with him, and once he made a move on the sentry at the entrance of the cave, he had to ensure that if there was a second or third person, he could not warn inside.
It was the first time for Hua Qingfang to perform such a task, and although he was a little nervous, he still nodded and agreed!
Zhang Chong bit the dagger and slowly approached the entrance of the cave from below, half of the sentry's upper body leaning against the entrance of the cave, muttering something in his mouth, not realizing that danger had come to his side.
Zhang Chong suddenly exerted his legs, and the whole person was like a cheetah, pounced on it.
At this time, Hua Qingfang also bent her bow and arrows, exerted force with her legs, and quickly rushed up.
There was indeed more than one sentry at the entrance of the cave, and the other person was in the middle on the right side of the entrance, and when he saw someone rushing towards his companion from outside, he was so frightened that he was about to open his mouth and shout, when a sharp arrow lightning drilled into his throat!
This arrow used almost all of Hua Qingfang's strength, and the force was fast and ruthless, directly piercing the back of the opponent's head, bringing up a touch of blood!
And Zhang Chong also twisted the sentry's neck all of a sudden, and when he heard a click, he collapsed!
Almost instantly, the two sentry posts at the entrance of the cave were all killed!
Safe!
Seeing Zhang Chong send a safety signal, Meng Yan waved his hand, and the team quietly entered the cave.
"My lord, it's them, I recognize their outfits and weapons!" Zhang Chong whispered.
Meng Yan nodded, it seemed that he had come to the right place.
"Little brother Ah Chen, you are the only one who has been to this cave, and now the official needs your help." Meng Yan beckoned and summoned Ah Chen to his side.
"Gentleman, you say." Seeing the horror of the death of the two corpses, he couldn't help but shudder, although he was a hunter, at most he shot hares, roe deer or something, and this was the first time he had seen a killing.
"Simply tell the official about the terrain in the cave and draw it on the ground with this!" Meng Yan handed Ah Chen a twig.
Ah Chen nodded, picked up the branch and drew it on the ground. (To be continued......)
