The team walked out of about two miles, and a small leader came to report to Liu Wanbao, saying that there was one person missing, which surprised Liu Wanbao and everyone in Yuxu Palace. Because just before departure, each squad had a personnel check, but there was no shortage of one. On the way to the road, the big and small leaders, Liu Wanbao and the people of the Yuxu Palace were afraid that Wu Xinji's cronies would escape and report the news, so they also kept an eye on it, and they didn't find anyone left behind, how could there be one less person at this time? In the face of Liu Wanbao's questioning, the little leader hurriedly explained the reason.

It turned out that the missing person was temporarily added to his team when they went down the mountain to reinforce at noon, and everyone was not very familiar with him. After the dazzling change that this little boss had just gone through, his mind was still a little confused, and he was negligent when he was ordering people, and he missed him. At this time, my mood gradually calmed down, my thinking became normal, and I finally remembered the forgotten person.

According to him, this person's name is Gou Siyuan, who was arranged by the Mo brothers, and seems to be the apprentice of Ding and Chang. When Liu Wanbao and the people of Yuxu Palace heard that they were Ding Youchang's apprentices, they all felt that the situation was very important. At this time, he didn't bother to reprimand this brainless little leader, and hurriedly called the Mo brothers over to verify the relevant situation.

The Mo brothers confirmed the little leader's statement, saying that when they went down the mountain, they did bring Ding and Chang's apprentice Gou Siyuan, and they originally planned to let him help Ding and Chang, so he also knew about Wu Xinji's conspiracy. After speaking, the Mo brothers again pleaded guilty to Liu Wanbao and others, repeatedly stating that they were frightened and confused just now, and they forgot that there was such an accomplice for a while. Although Liu Wanbao wanted to split these two wastes in half at this time, because he still needed the two of them to go up the mountain, he couldn't do anything righteously, so after glaring at them fiercely, he waved his hand angrily and asked the two of them to disappear from his eyes quickly.

After sending the Mo brothers, Liu Wanbao and the people of the Yuxu Palace discussed it urgently, and it was estimated that this Gou Siyuan might have secretly run away when Liu Wanbao finished speaking and redistributed the team. Although he is not absolutely sure that he heard the jihua that is ready to be implemented here, "it is better to believe it than to believe it not". This kid now has a grudge against Liu Wanbao for killing his teacher, I'm afraid he won't just leave, so it is very likely that he will run back to the cottage to report to Wu Xinji. Once he is allowed to go to the mountain first, Jihua on his side may be known by Wu Xinji and them. Even if Gou Siyuan didn't hear Liu Wanbao assign tasks to the leaders, as long as he returned to the cottage and told Wu Xinji about the killing of Ding Youchang, the other party would definitely make corresponding arrangements, which would definitely increase the difficulty of seizing the cottage on his side, and might even endanger the safety of Liu Wanbao's family.

Therefore, everyone decided to send Qingchen to break away from the brigade and chase down the road where Gou Siyuan might go to the cottage. If you can catch up with Gou Siyuan before he enters the cottage, it is best, if you can't catch him in advance, then Qingchen will try to sneak into the Five Tigers Village and try to kill Wu Xinji before he meets him, so as to eliminate the possibility of him leaking this side of Jihua to Wu Xinji. Of course, if the opportunity is right, Qingchen can also take Wu Xinji's life to reduce resistance for subsequent actions.

Qingchen took the order, rode a fast horse, and galloped along the nearest mountain road to Wuhu Village. Liu Wanbao and the rest of the Yuxu Palace led the brigade to advance quickly, hoping to reach the Five Tigers Village in time to reach the Five Tigers Village in advance of Gou Siyuan.

Qingchen left the brigade and galloped wildly. Although it is difficult to walk on the snowy mountain road, he relies on his superb riding skills, and there is no danger along the way. After running for more than half an hour, I came to Liangshuiquan Village at the foot of Xiayunling Mountain.

Because there was no trace of Gou Siyuan along the way, Qingchen decided not to go any further. Gou Siyuan escaped on foot, it was impossible to run faster than himself, and this village was only three or four miles away from the Wuhu Village on the mountain, and if you walked further, you might encounter the minions patrolling the village. So, Qingchen dismounted and went to a small forest outside the village, intending to wait for the rabbit on this necessary road up the mountain.

Qingchen waited in the woods for more than an hour, and just when he was a little skeptical that Gou Siyuan had fled instead of returning to Wuhu Village, an embarrassed figure appeared in his field of vision. The man stumbled along the mountain road, a panicked look on his face. As he ran, he looked behind him. The man's clothes had been cut by branches in several places, apparently from walking through the woods and shrubs.

Although Qingchen didn't know Gou Siyuan before, he could almost conclude that it was this person from the person's behavior. So he tied the horse to the tree, adjusted the robe on his body, Shi Shiran walked out of the woods, stood on the mountain road, and waited for Gou Siyuan to send it to the door.

This embarrassed guy is Gou Siyuan, who took advantage of the chaos to escape. When Ding and Chang entered the ruined temple to meet Liu Wanbao, he was left outside. First, his identity is not enough, and rushing in may arouse the suspicion of others. Second, I also wanted him to observe the state of Liu Wanbao's minions outside, and if there was anything unusual, he would warn Ding Youchang and others in the temple.

As a result, this kid waited outside for a while, but he was shocked to find that Liu Wanbao walked out of the broken temple unharmed, while his master and the Mo brothers were gone. Later, after listening to Liu Wanbao's teachings, he knew that his master had died, and the Mo brothers had also taken refuge in the Yuxu Palace, and he and the Wu family were about to come to a catastrophe. Just when he was nervous, for fear that Liu Wanbao and the people of Yuxu Palace would be angry with him, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he seemed to be left behind.

When the minions were in formation, no one came to greet him. Seeing that the opportunity had come, this kid took advantage of everyone's chaotic re-queue to rub to the periphery little by little, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness to get into the dead grass next to him. It wasn't until the minions left under the leadership of Liu Wanbao and others that they came out tremblingly. I was going to run away as soon as possible. But after walking a few steps, he stopped, stood in place and hesitated slightly, feeling that he couldn't just run away, and the revenge of killing the teacher could not be avenged. This matter must be reported to Wu Dangjia as soon as possible, so that he can be prepared. Or if possible, come up with a plan and wipe out Liu Wanbao and others. Even if he can't get rid of Liu Wanbao to avenge his master, at least he has to kill his family to vent this evil breath. So he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, turned around and rushed towards the Five Tiger Village of Xiayunling. Because he was afraid of being discovered by the minions marching on the road, this kid drilled into the ravine all the way, and he couldn't take care of the clothes on his body that were scratched into a mess. ,

Thanks to this, Gou Siyuan usually practices martial arts with Ding and Chang, and his physical fitness is still good. Although it was a small road over the mountains and mountains, it was also supported. At this time, seeing that it was not far from the Five Tiger Village, and there was no trace of Liu Wanbao behind them, Gou Siyuan felt that his victory was in sight. He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, gasped for breath, and dragged his tired legs to run again.

Gou Siyuan didn't run far before he had to stop, his eyes fixed on a young Taoist priest standing on the mountain road, his heart was terrified, and his legs involuntarily began to tremble. The Taoist priest in front of him had seen it in the broken temple at the foot of the mountain, and knew that it was from the Yuxu Palace. And the purpose of this Taoist priest appearing here is self-evident, that is, to hunt down and kill himself, a fish that has slipped through the net. At this time, the mountain road was empty, and Gou Siyuan truly realized what it meant to "call the heavens and the earth not spiritual".

Now, Gou Siyuan knows that it is useless to beg for mercy again, and he has to fight no matter what. So he turned his heart sideways, pulled out a knife from his waist, pulled a knife flower and rushed up.

As soon as they fought, Gou Siyuan felt that he was absolutely dead today. Although he has been learning martial arts from his master for several years, he is afraid that he will not be able to move through even ten moves in front of this seemingly ordinary Taoist priest. At this moment, the Taoist priest only used one hand, wielding the unsheathed sword, and did not care about his own tricks. It's not so much fighting with yourself as it's playing with yourself.

The expression on the face of this Taoist priest was very relaxed, and while he was spending a lot of time with Gou Siyuan, he looked at the mountain road behind him from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone to come. Gou Siyuan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, he knew that the reason why this Taoist priest didn't kill him was because he planned to wait for the team behind him to come up, and then Liu Wanbao and the others would decide how to deal with him. Thinking of the fate of the master, Gou Siyuan knew very well that there would be absolutely no good result if he fell into the hands of Liu Wanbao, and it was better to be killed by this Taoist priest with a sword. The problem is that this Taoist priest won't listen to him, how can this be good.

Just when Gou Siyuan had nothing to do, more than a dozen people came from the mountain road in the direction of Xiayunling, all dressed as soldiers. The first man was five big and three thick. Bald head without a hat, face full of horizontal meat, with a falling beard. Wearing only a single coat on a cold day, carrying a machete with nine ears and eight rings on his shoulder, he was turning around and talking to his companions behind.

When Gou Siyuan saw this person, he was like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw, and shouted loudly: "Fourth Brother He, I'm Gou Siyuan, come and save me!" ”

When Fourth Brother He heard the shout, he looked over here and saw that Gou Siyuan, who had a good daily relationship, was fighting with a young man dressed as a Taoist priest, and he seemed to be a little overwhelmed. Because the attack of the Wei family on the Yuxu Palace was lost and killed, and Liu Er's family was seriously injured, the minions of the Five Tiger Village are now full of vigilance against the Taoist priests. At this time, seeing that his friend was fighting with the Taoist priest, he knew that something must have happened, so he hurriedly waved his hand and rushed over with more than ten minions behind him.

Seeing this, Qingchen secretly complained that he was too careless, and thought that the minions of Wuhuzhai would not go so far to patrol the mountain, but he neglected that since Wu Xinji was determined to kill Liu Wanbao, he would naturally expand the scope of the mountain patrol in case the conspiracy failed Liu Wanbao counterattacked him. At this time, it is impossible to catch it alive, and the only way to do this is to kill Gou Siyuan and these minions, so as not to leak the news. After making up his mind, Qingchen stopped playing, drew his sword out of the sheath, unleashed his skills, and attacked Gou Siyuan.

Gou Siyuan came to the rescue, and his spirit also came up, and the knife in his hand danced neatly. thought that he could hold on to He Si to save himself, but the Taoist priest on the other side suddenly changed his tactics. The sword in his hand flew up and down around the vital parts of his body as if he had a spirit. However, the opponent's sword stabbed into his chest at lightning speed. This sword was fast and ruthless, and Gou Siyuan didn't rush to block it anymore, so he had to twist his body violently and avoid the tip of the sword as much as possible.

As a result, the chest was avoided, but the shoulder was unavoidable, and he was stabbed by the sword, the wound was two inches deep, and Gou Siyuan was in pain, "Ah! A scream. Before he could recover from the pain, Qingchen had already drawn his sword, and then raised his right foot and kicked him hard in the chest. Gou Siyuan's body soared into the air, flew out three or four feet away, and after landing, he turned over a few times before stopping, and after twitching twice, there was no movement.

kicked down Gou Siyuan, Qingchen did not stop, shook the sword in his hand, and killed He Si and other minions who had rushed to the front. For a while, the mountain roads and mountains shouted and shouted, and more than a dozen minions fought with Qingchen in one place.

Although there are more than ten minions, as soon as they come to Qingchen just now, they kicked away Gou Siyuan, whose martial arts are quite good in their eyes, and everyone is inevitably a little jealous, shouting more and less getting started. Second, the mountain road is not wide, there are woods on both sides, and it is impossible to use it if there are too many people. Therefore, there were only three or four people who really fought with Qingchen, but Qingchen had the upper hand.

Although He Si looks vicious, the weapons in his hands are also quite weighty. But this guy's martial arts can only be regarded as mediocre, he usually relies on his appearance to bluff people, and at most he relies on his own strength to win. Today, when you meet a first-class master, these methods are useless. Just a few photos, there are already some stagnations. He is the most capable of fighting in this group of minions, and if he can't stand up, others will have no hope. Therefore, soon some minions fell to the ground with swords, screaming again and again. Now the morale of the minions is even lower, and the few people in the back who can't just shout are already preparing to anoint the soles of their feet - and slip away.

At this moment, there were bursts of footsteps on the mountain road behind Qingchen, and it seemed that a large group of people were coming. He Si barely parried Qingchen's attack while peeking in. I saw a group of more than 100 minions under the leadership of two leaders on horseback, advancing at the speed of a rapid march, and the leader who rode in front was none other than Mo Dan, a close confidant of Wu Dangjia.

Knowing that it was his own person who arrived, He Si's original hanging heart finally let go. I thought to myself, even if you are a Taoist priest, no matter how capable you are, in the face of more than 100 minions, there is only one way to die. Then he shouted at Mo Dan: "Leader Mo, the younger one is He Si who was sent out by the Wu family to patrol the mountain." This person is a Taoist priest of the Jade Void Palace, come and help the little one capture him. ”,

When Mo Dan heard the shout, he looked up at He Si, turned around and said something to the back, then nodded, shook the reins, and rushed over with more than thirty minions.

He Si was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted arrogantly to Qingchen: "Stinky cow nose, the master's reinforcements have arrived." You'd better abandon your sword and surrender immediately, and you can leave you with a whole corpse. Otherwise, the master will chop you up and throw you on the mountain to feed the wild dogs. ”

Qingchen didn't answer when he heard this, but the sword in his hand stepped up his moves, forcing He Si and the other minions to retreat three or four steps, and then jumped out of the circle with a false sword, carrying his hands behind his back, looking at Mo Dan who came on a horse with a relaxed face, without the slightest feeling of being in danger.

When He Si saw him like this, he was stunned at first, and then felt that something was wrong. Subconsciously looked up at Mo Dan, who had rushed to the front, but found that this guy's expression didn't seem right. A pair of eyes didn't look at the Taoist priest next to him, but stared at himself, and then raised the knife in his hand with a strange expression and slashed it down. It's just that the direction of the knife is obviously not the Taoist priest, but his own neck.

At this time, it was too late for He Si to raise his knife to block or dodge, and the manpower, horsepower, and knife power were added together, just listen to "Bang!" With a sound, He Si's big round head rose in response, flew off his neck and fell on the snow. After landing, he continued to castrate, and rolled out of the road for a long distance before stopping.

This sudden change made those minions under He Si stunned, and they didn't know what to do for a while. And the dozens of minions who followed behind Mo Dan surrounded them in the middle with a hula, raised their swords and guns, and shouted: "Put down your weapons, otherwise you will be killed." Although the dozen or so minions who were surrounded did not understand the situation, in the face of an opponent who was several times more than themselves, they did not dare to disobey the other party's orders, and threw their weapons on the ground one after another, and then looked at Mo Dan with confused and frightened eyes, as if hoping that he could give him an explanation.

Mo Dan did not respond to this, but jumped off his horse, came to the Taoist priest, saluted respectfully, and then stood beside him and waited for the arrival of the large group of people behind. Just when the besieged minions were in doubt, they found that Liu Er, who was said to be seriously injured, was riding a horse, accompanied by several Taoist priests, and galloped over with a large group of minions. Judging from his upright posture and calm expression, it was impossible to tell that he looked like he was seriously injured.

Liu Wanbao rode his horse to Qingchen and Mo Dan's side, jumped off the horse, and said to Qingchen: "Qingchen Daoist has worked hard, I don't know what the current situation is?" ”

Qingchen smiled, pointed to Gou Siyuan, who was lying motionless in the snow in the distance, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and I caught up with that Gou Siyuan in time here, and he has already been killed." ”

Liu Wanbao and the people of Yuxu Palace breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and then looked at He Si who was in a different place, and then came to the side of those besieged minions. Liu Wanbao glanced at these restless minions, told them the truth of the matter in a deep voice, and asked them if they were willing to return to the Yuxu Palace. In the face of this situation, the reaction of these dozen or so minions can be imagined, and there are absolutely no people who are unwilling to submit. Liu Wanbao was very satisfied with this, and after admonishing them a few words, he asked them to pick up their weapons again and follow the brigade up the mountain.

Near evening, Liu Wanbao and others finally came to the door of Wuhu Village. This time, Mo Dan also walked in the front, successfully called open the gate of the wall, everyone rushed in, and in the blink of an eye, they controlled the minions guarding the door, and then these captives were brought to Liu Wanbao.

The expressions of these gatekeepers when they saw Liu Wanbao were the same as those on the mountain road before, everything came too suddenly, so they really couldn't understand it. Liu Wanbao didn't have time to explain at this time, he came to a familiar minion soldier, and asked in a deep voice: "Tietou Li Er, you tell a certain family honestly, where is Wu Xinji now?" Who is in command of the minions in the stockade now, and where are they guarding? Where is the family now? ”

Although the iron-headed Li Er couldn't figure out the situation for a while, he could see Liu Wanbao's expression clearly. He knew that as long as he hesitated a little, he was afraid that he would end up in a different place. Therefore, he didn't dare to hide it at all, and stammered: "Go back to ...... Back to the second master, Wu ...... Wu Dangjia, ah, no, Wu Xinji is now outside the courtyard of Xing Dangjia. Minions except for ...... Except for those who have passed through the gate, they are all by his side. Your family members should be in the courtyard of Xing Dang's house at this time, Wu Xinji said that you colluded with the Taoist priest of Yuxu Palace to kill Wei Da's family, and you are leading people to besiege the courtyard where Xing Dang's family lives, and want to arrest your family and Xing Dang's family. ”

Hearing that Wu Xinji was leading people to besiege Xing Bude's mansion and wanted to arrest Xing Bude and his family, Liu Wanbao couldn't help but feel anxious. On his side, it will be done, if Wu Xinji controls Xing Bude and his family at this time, it will be quite tricky later. Once Xing Bude or his family members make a mistake, his Liu Wanbao's efforts to make compromises will be in vain. Liu Wanbao didn't care about discussing with the people of Yuxu Palace at this time, pushed the iron-headed Li Eryi away, pulled out the single knife on his waist, and rushed towards Xing Bude's mansion.

Zhang Weixin, Qian Yuanshan and others also knew that Liu Wanbao was eager to save people, so they didn't say much, while letting Qingchen follow closely behind Liu Wanbao to prevent accidents, they waved their hands to the overwhelmed minions behind them, and shouted: "Everyone listen, except for Wu Xinji and his diehard cronies, the other minions will spare his life as long as they lay down their weapons." Whoever killed Wu Xinji and Shi Feibao, the two bastards, Dao Ye was rewarded. ”

Although the minions are usually a little afraid of Wu Xinji because he is the top five of the cottages, except for a few die-hard cronies, the vast majority of the minions disdain him. At this time, listening to Zhang Weixin and Qian Yuanshan's rewards, they naturally rushed into the gate one by one, waving the weapons in their hands, for fear of being left behind by others. After all, the number of Wu Xinji's cronies is not large, and I am afraid that I will not be able to share them if I go late.
