Everyone retreated into the dark passage with Shang Xiuxun, followed a slightly low and narrow but well-ventilated passage, and entered a secret room that could accommodate 100 people and had portals on all sides.
Shang Xiuxun walked to the wall, groped on the wall for a while, pushed away a piece of bluestone from the wall, and revealed a copper pipe the thickness of an arm buried deep in the wall. Meng Xunzhen heard a faint voice coming from the brass pipe, and when he got closer to listen, he happened to hear a somewhat distorted voice: "Boss Cao, we have searched most of the village, and there has been no trace of Shang Xiuxun. Has the little lady escaped? ”
Another deep voice said, "Impossible. We have laid a net around this village, and even a fly will not want to fly out. She must still be in the village, continue to search, even if she digs three feet into the ground, she will be dug out! ”
Meng Xunzhen was amazed, he couldn't imagine that there were such elaborately designed listening facilities in this era. Needless to say, this must be Lu Miaozi's genius idea again.
Shang Xiuxun listened to the movement on the ground in front of the brass pipe, and after a long time, a puzzled look appeared on her face, and she said to herself: "What is Wu Zhaoru doing, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" ”
A strange light flashed in Uncle Tao's eyes, and he walked over and said, "Owner, I don't know if something has happened to Zhaoru, my subordinates want to go up and take a look." ”
Shang Xiuxun groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Let's go together!" Then he ordered four warriors, and called Meng Xunzhen and Fu'er, and a total of eight people entered through another door in the secret room, walked through a long passage, and when they came out of an exit, they were already in a hut where miscellaneous items were kept. Shang Xiuxun and Meng Xunzhen leaned to the window to peek out, and saw that the thieves in the village were still breaking down the door and searching around the house; Listening closely, there was a dead silence outside the village, and there was no sign of reinforcements at all.
Seeing that everyone was paying attention to the movement outside, and no one noticed him, Uncle Tao quietly paced to another window and reached into his arms to take out something. Shake your hand and throw it out of the window.
At the same time as he made the throwing action, Meng Xunzhen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and his backhand without looking back pointed out, and a soft and mellow air flow came out of his fingers and dotted on Tao Shusheng's body in the air. The finger power of his finger was extremely mysterious, and after hitting Tao Shusheng, a wave of finger force scattered and wandered along the meridians, and at the same time sealed Tao Shusheng's five acupoints, causing him to lose all his ability to move and speak at this moment.
Uncle Tao had an incredible look on his face, and his body collapsed to the ground. The things in his hands also fell out.
Meng Xunzhen stretched out his hand and grabbed it out of thin air, and the thing flew into his palm as if it was being pulled by an invisible rope. He handed this thing to Shang Xiuxun, who was stunned, and asked with a smile: "Just now, the third deacon wanted to throw this thing out of the window, Xiuxun saw what this thing was?" ”
Shang Xiuxun took a look, her face immediately changed color, and what Meng Xunzhen handed over to her was a bamboo tube, which was the special news fireworks made by Pegasus Ranch. She groaned for a moment, and said coldly: "Go back to the underground secret room first, and then deal with this traitor!" ”
The group returned to the underground chamber by the same route. Meng Xunzhen stretched out his fingers to relieve his dumb acupoint, turned his head to Shang Xiuxun and said, "Presumably Xiuxun has something to say to the third deacon." ”
Shang Xiuxun looked at Tao Shusheng, who was paralyzed on the ground, and asked coldly, "Third Deacon, why did you betray Pegasus Ranch?" ”
"Betrayal?" Uncle Tao laughed miserably. "This ranch was built by our ancestors, so why should it be held by your merchant for generations? I'm just going to get what belongs to me back! ”
"So you don't hesitate to collude with foreign enemies?" Shang Xiuxun reprimanded, "If you do this, you will only destroy the ranch that our ancestors painstakingly created and operated!" ”
Tao Shusheng sneered: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, what's the use of saying this?" I have been captured. You don't want to run away from here. Why do you think Wu Zhaoru hasn't arrived yet? He was humiliated by Meng Xunzhen at the last banquet, but he just gave me the opportunity to convince him. At this point, he should have found an excuse to move his men and horses far away, so you don't have to expect reinforcements to come!" ”
When everyone heard this, they changed color. Although their hiding place is extremely secretive. But the village is so small that if the enemy were determined to search for it, they would eventually be found.
"I have another way," Meng Xun said suddenly, "Xiuxun still remembers my pair of eagles?" ”
Shang Xiuxun was overjoyed after a moment's pause, and hurriedly asked, "Xunzhen, do you mean to send someone to fly out of the encirclement and move troops on the eagle?" ”
"Not bad." Meng Xunzhen nodded, "But the person who moved the troops can only be Xiuxun, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for others to take back the military power from the hands of the four deacons." ”
Shang Xiuxun's eyes were cold, and he immediately responded: "It's okay, I'll go in person, and take Wu Zhaoru down by the way." You will hide in this secret room, and when I come back with my troops, everyone should work together to destroy the thieves! ”
Meng Xunzhen shook his head and said, "It's good for the others to hide in this secret room, I want to go out and try to hold off the thieves, so that they don't have a good situation and withdraw first." Although the strategy mentioned by the three deacons earlier is a hidden evil, it is undeniable that this is indeed a great opportunity to completely annihilate the enemy army, and it would be a pity to miss it. ”
"What?" Shang Xiuxun changed color and exclaimed, "There are many thieves, and although your martial arts are high, it is too dangerous. ”
Meng Xunzhen was confident, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't confront thousands of thieves head-on, there are many houses in this village and they are all built quite strongly, I can rely on them to fight the enemy." As long as you don't get entangled and besieged, there shouldn't be any danger. ”
After these days of getting along, Shang Xiuxun knew that he not only had unfathomable martial arts, but also had a very calm temperament, since he said it, he had a great deal of confidence, and it was indeed a great temptation for her to wipe out all the thieves and eliminate the long-standing disaster of Pegasus Ranch in one fell swoop, so after a little weighing, she nodded in agreement.
After deciding, the two of them went to the ground through another secret passage, which was still some distance away from the thieves who were searching the house, and Meng Xunzhen still used the kung fu of gathering sound into a line to send the whistling sound of the summoning double eagle into the air without alarming the thieves. After a while, the silver soul and the jade spirit fluttered their huge wings and fell from the sky. Meng Xunzhen caressed the twin eagle feathers, but secretly gave instructions to them through his heart, and then turned his head to Shang Xiuxun and said, "Okay, without further ado, Xiuxun, you hurry up." ”
Shang Xiuxun was in a somewhat apprehensive mood, and according to Meng Xunzhen's instructions, he lay on the back of the jade spirit, and with Meng Xunzhen's shout, the two eagles spread their wings and took off in the air, resisting the wind.
At this time, the thieves in the village had been alarmed, and they flew towards Meng Xunzhen's side.
Meng Xun's real hand stationed in the Xuantie heavy sword stood majestically, just waiting for the enemy to arrive. He knew that Tao Shusheng was a spy but did not expose it, so he really planned to attract the main forces of the four great Kou to one place and gather them in one drum. And whether this blow can be successful depends on whether he can contain the enemy here before Shang Xiuxun leads his troops to arrive. (To be continued!)
