Chapter 052: Finding a Way Out

The mine was very quiet, except for the miners, almost all the people with combat ability were transferred by Xiao Bai. They assemble in the open space of the mine, stand on guard, and rest.

Xiao Feng accompanied Xiao Bai to stand on the sentry post, and the two talked while looking at the mountain from afar.

The mountain of Five Talws was quiet, there were no fights, no one rushed down from the mountain, not even a bird startled. As time passed, Xiao Feng's face became more and more gloomy, and when the sky was completely dark, and torches were lit around him, he sighed and said, "Sixth Uncle, whether we want to believe it or not, Xiao Han has really betrayed." ”

Xiao Bai's face was not good-looking, he had talked a lot with Xiao Feng before, and even talked about the crisis of the family, and Xiao Feng even told his speculations one by one.

Xiao Feng said: "Sixth uncle, since Xiao Han has betrayed, then my previous inference is also very possible, and we have to act according to the plan." ”

Xiao Bai rubbed his temples and called down. Not long after, Xiao Heng and Xiao Luo walked up to the sentry post. Then he said to Xiao Feng: "Feng'er, tell them about your previous inference." ”

Xiao Feng's eyes fell on Xiao Luo, and he glanced at Xiao Bai again, as if asking Xiao Bai, is Xiao Luo reliable?

Xiao Bai saw Xiao Feng's scruples, and he explained: "Xiao Luo is the person I trust the most, and he is also the most familiar with the surrounding environment. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, he pondered for a moment, sorted out what he was about to say in his mind, and then slowly spoke: "Before coming out this time, the head of the family once said that the support was divided into two groups. The first group of men and horses was led by the eight elders, and the second group of people and horses needed to wait for the thirteen elders to come back before rushing over. Now that the Eighth Elder has betrayed the family, it stands to reason that we should wait for the support of the Thirteenth Elder, but now we can't wait. ”

Xiao Heng asked with a surprised expression, "You shouldn't even be suspicious of the Thirteenth Elder!"

Xiao Feng said with a serious face: "Yes, I did have doubts, but the head of the family trusts him, the sixth uncle also trusts him, and I have no conclusive evidence, and the suspicion out of thin air has no practical meaning, so I choose to believe him for the time being." It is this choice that we cannot afford to wait any longer. ”

Xiao Heng said: "Why?"

Xiao Feng said: "Do you remember what I asked Sixth Uncle when I first came here?"

Xiao Heng nodded and said, "Didn't you just ask if my father was injured, and also ask if my father had been attacked in the past two days." What's wrong?"

Xiao Feng said: "How did the sixth uncle answer?"

Xiao Heng said: "My father said that he was slightly injured, and he has not been attacked in the past two days. Does it matter?"

Xiao Feng sighed and said, "You connect everything together and think about it again." ”

Xiao Heng frowned, meditating hard, but Xiao Luo beside him seemed to think of something, and said, "Young Master Feng, do you want to say that we are just bait?"

"Bait?" Xiao Heng said silently in surprise.

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Yes, we are the bait, used to catch more and bigger characters." If you think about it again, if the people who came to support them later found out about the Eight Elders, would they be suspicious of the Eight Elders? No, even if there was a reason for suspicion, the Eight Elders would definitely think of countermeasures to deal with them. I don't need to say more about what will happen then. ”

After Xiao Heng listened to Xiao Feng's analysis, he thought for a while and said, "Since we are just bait, then they also deliberately escaped before?" Then the news has been released, wouldn't it be better for them to directly eliminate us, or catch us?"

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "That's right!" But why didn't they do that? I think they were worried. Either we don't have enough people to wipe us out, or we have other plans. However, from the fact that they deliberately arranged for the Eight Elders to perform this play, I think they should be understaffed, or rather, their manpower cannot withstand the attrition, and they want to eliminate us at the lowest cost. ”

Xiao Heng said: "Then what should we do now?"

Xiao Feng said: "I discussed with the sixth uncle before, give up the mine and break through. We can't afford it, because if we don't spread the news, it will be a disaster no matter who comes to support in the future, and the strength of the Xiao family will continue to be weakened. ”

Xiao Luo said: "There are few peaks, I'm afraid this is unlikely." It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and cliffs on one side. You don't have to think about the cliff side, you can't pass through it at all. As for the ambushes on these three sides of the mountain, the sixth master and I have tried several times before, and each time it ended in failure. ”

Xiao Feng said: "I talked to Uncle Sixth just now, you did try before, but those times were all temptations, even if you sent Xiao Heng out, you didn't do everything." This time is different, we have to do our best to break through and use all available resources. ”

Xiao Luo and Xiao Heng glanced at Xiao Bai at the same time, and seeing Xiao Bai nodding, they looked at Xiao Feng again.

Xiao Feng said: "Later, you will go and gather all the miners and concentrate all available forces to break through in one direction." Also, take out all the spars that were excavated before. The lure of hedron is definitely able to distract them. ”

Xiao Luo looked at Xiao Feng's eyes flashing with a complicated light, it is not difficult to imagine that Xiao Feng wants to use miners as cannon fodder, and use miners and guards to break a bloody road. This approach does give hope to the impossible. But this practice is undoubtedly a bit cruel.

Xiao Feng glanced at Xiao Luo's expression, he roughly guessed Xiao Luo's thoughts, he sighed and said, "It may be a bit cruel to do this, but now this is our only hope." For the sake of this hope, we have to give everything and have to do everything we can, otherwise many more people will die, and they will die worthless. ”

Xiao Luo nodded: "I know!"

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "In that case, let's go and interrogate Xiao Heyu first, and then discuss it properly." ”

Then, Xiao Feng and the others walked down from the sentry post and went to the wooden house where the meeting was held.

Subsequently, Xiao Heyu was escorted into the wooden house where the proceedings were held.

Xiao Heyu, who had already been banned from spiritual power, was tied up solidly, Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Heyu who was glaring angrily and said, "Say, what is your plan?

Xiao Heyu snorted coldly and said, "I'm bah, what evidence do you have to prove that I betrayed the family?"

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "No!"

Xiao Heyu snorted coldly and said, "Since you don't have it, you still don't let me go?"

Xiao Feng smiled slightly and said: "Although I don't have evidence, have I said that I need evidence? I don't need evidence, I think you betrayed, you are betrayed." Didn't you say I was cold-blooded before? Yes, I was cold-blooded. I'll give you an account today, if you don't tell you about their plan, you'll only have one result, see the flying knife in my hand?"

With that, he swiped the flying knife in his hand on Xiao Heyu's neck a few times.

Xiao Heyu looked at Xiao Feng with wide eyes, his face was shocked, he never thought that he would be so unreasonable, he shouted: "Xiao Feng, you madman, I don't know, what do you want me to say." ”

Xiao Feng said: "You can make it up, if it's reasonable, I believe it, isn't it okay?"

Xiao Heyu said: "But if you don't believe it, what should you do?"

Xiao Feng said: "If I don't want to believe it, then I'm sorry, you can only die." ”

Xiao Heyu glanced at the flying knife against his neck, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay, I'll make it up, I'll make it up." Well... The Eighth Elder had accepted a bribe before he came, and he had already betrayed the family. He told me to follow you and lead you out of the mines, and then he joined forces with the people above to hunt you down. ”

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Who is the person above?"

Xiao Heyu said: "The mercenary group is a mercenary group invited by the Zhou family and the Li family. ”

Xiao Feng smiled, and he continued to ask, "Which mercenary group is it?"

Xiao Heyu said: "It's not one, it's two, the Green Wolf Mercenary Group and the Tiens Mercenary Group." ”

Xiao Feng's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't know anything about these two mercenary groups, he glanced at the other people beside him, his eyes swept from Xiao Lan, Xiao Heng, Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Jiu's faces one by one, and finally fell on Xiao Bai's face, only to see Xiao Bai's face solemn, he hurriedly asked, "Sixth uncle, do you know?"

Xiao Bai nodded and said: "These two mercenary groups are the top three mercenary groups in Celestial City, their leaders are all high-level spirit masters, the deputy leaders are all middle-level spirit masters, and there are several low-level spirit masters under them. However, the number of mercenary groups is limited after all, so there must still be people from the Zhou family and the Li family with them. ”

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Yes, haven't there been dead soldiers who have attacked the mine before? Those should be the people of the Zhou family and the Li family." This gives us a better chance of breaking through. ”

With that, he pressed the hand against Xiao Heyu's neck down again, and said, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Xiao Heyu cried and said, "No, it's really gone." I've said everything I know. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, withdrew the flying knife, and said to Xiao Luo: "Xiao Luo, let people escort him down first, I suddenly have an idea, let's discuss it carefully." A breakthrough may be on the horizon. ”

Xiao Luo escorted Xiao and Yu out, and had them taken to guard them at the door, while he returned to the wooden house.

In the wooden house, Xiao Luo gave a detailed introduction to the nearby terrain, Xiao Feng said his thoughts one by one, and after a series of discussions, Xiao Luo hurriedly walked out of the wooden house and began to arrange.

Nearly a hundred miners gathered in the clearing, and they cut down some nearby trees according to Xiao Luo's arrangement, and began to make improvised bows and arrows.

Time was ticking, and in the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
