Chapter 83: Clearing the Mountain Bandits (4)
The royal guards who watched the horses said that they had taken people up the mountain in a hurry, and now two hours have passed, and there has been no news.
Xiao Yuexi had a headache for a while, frowned and sighed, glanced at Mu Yanyu who was lying on the back of the little soldier, and said: "His Royal Highness King Xian's body can't be dragged down, first send him to the epidemic center to let Imperial Doctor Li see, that eagle ......" Xiao Yuexi's gaze turned to Tie Ying's body again: "Find a cage to lock it up, don't let him fly." ”
Zhao Rong asked uneasily, "What about you?" ”
Xiao Yuexi didn't even hesitate and said directly: "I'll go back and find someone." ”
"That Weichen is with you!" Zhao Rong said that he was going to throw the iron eagle he carried all the way down the mountain to others.
Xiao Yuexi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Second Brother Zhao, this person is too important, I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others." ”
Zhao Rong: "But the mountain is so big, how do you find it?" ”
Xiao Yuexi said indifferently: "There are so many people, all follow me up the mountain and find someone to go back as soon as possible." After a pause, Xiao Yuexi urged again: "Move fast!" His Royal Highness King Xian's body is the most important! "She didn't want to see someone die in front of her eyes.
After a while, the group parted ways again, and Xiao Yuexi took more than a dozen royal forest soldiers to go up the mountain again in the night.
The mountain road at night is not very easy to walk, but it is not much difficulty for Xiao Yuexi, after walking for a while, there is still time to sigh in my heart - there is really nothing perfect in this world. An operation that was originally extremely smooth, with such an unexpected surprise as His Royal Highness King Xian, was about to change.
Xiao Yuexi could probably guess where Chengfeng heard the letter, the last time she was in the bandits' den, although she retreated, she also frightened Wei Chang and Chengfeng. Eat a trench and grow wise, the same mistake Wei Chang did not dare to make again, and he himself was still in the fishing village and lacked skills, so he naturally had to find a way to notify Chengfeng.
The pressure of Chengfeng is even greater, he obeyed the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and accompanied the guards all the way, Xiao Yuexi had any accidents on his head, and it was strange that he was not in a hurry! It's just that if Chengfeng learns that because of his actions, people who didn't have to be in danger have returned to the bandits' den again, I don't know how he will feel......
Of course, Chengfeng couldn't imagine that things would have such a change, his mind was to take Xiao Yuexi out, and then write to implore his master to quickly take away this ancestor who didn't take his life seriously! The situation is urgent, and Chengfeng only has time to send a message to the side of Liyutang, as for when the wind, frost and snow can arrive, it depends on luck.
After passing the letter, Chengfeng didn't dare to really sit down and wait, so he took a few people up the mountain and sneaked into the bandits' den at night.
At this time, the cottage was peaceful, and most people didn't even know that there was a dark room in the residence of their "Big Brother Iron Eagle", so it was impossible to know that the people hidden in the dark room were robbed along with their "Big Brother Iron Eagle" himself.
The bandits' den at night is very lively, except for the people on duty, the rest of the people should eat and drink, play and have fun, and they don't know that their old nest has secretly changed the sky.
Chengfeng didn't hear a word about Xiao Yuexi all the way, and his heart became more and more anxious. It's a big living person, and it's gone...... Can he still have this little life?
The crowds that act separately gather at the best time and place, look at each other, and know the result.
Chengfeng asked in a low voice without giving up: "Didn't hear any useful news?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, finding a little confusion in each other's eyes.
Riding the wind and becoming ants on a hot pot in a hurry, if it weren't for the fear of attracting attention, I was afraid that I would have to perform a group and jump three feet high at this time.
One of them proposed, "Why don't we catch two bandits and ask them?" ”
Without waiting for the wind to consider whether this method was feasible, there was suddenly chaos in the distance.
"Hide first!" Chengfeng immediately ordered, several people were carefully selected by him, the kung fu is good, don't dare to say anything else, the ability to hide and hide is first-class, and he found a suitable cover for himself to hide in an instant.
Riding the wind alone and silently approached the source of the noise, climbed the eaves lightly, and the whole person fell under the eaves.
The swallow under the eaves poked its head out of the vibration, and was startled by the dark man in front of him, chirping to vent its dissatisfaction, but Chengfeng was in no mood to pay attention to it, and his attention was completely attracted by the noisy conversation.
"What's the noise in the middle of the night?"
"People...... The few people I brought back during the day ......"
"Tsk! What's wrong? Why is it so hard to say something?! ”
"I don't know where to come in, I was knocked unconscious by them, and when I woke up, I found that the people I brought back during the day were gone!" When the voice said this, it was so anxious that its voice was distorted, as if it could cry out the next moment. If Xiao Yuexi is here, she must secretly praise her acting skills.
This voice is none other than Kong Wu's, this person woke up and found that it was dark, knowing that this matter could not end well, and the person disappeared out of thin air, and he himself was bound to become the object of suspicion.
There was a mess here, but Chengfeng, who was in the same eaves as the swallows, couldn't sit still.
What do they mean by that? Who is the person who brought back during the day? If it was his wife, who took them away?
Chengfeng's mind was full of questions, and he couldn't wait to rush over and pick up the man's clothes at three moments to ask for an understanding, but there were too many people over there, but I was afraid that before he could reach someone, he would become the target of everyone.
Chengfeng was at a loss, but someone on the bandits' side asked some useful questions: "Do you remember when you were attacked?" ”
Of course, Kong Wu would not admit that he had taken those people to visit the "good scenery" of the cottage, he recalled it with a decent look on his face, and paused for a moment before replying: "It's strange to say, I was on the way to the dungeon with them, and when I woke up, I found that I had run near the residence of Brother Tie Ying. ”
He seemed to have said something unintentionally, but it made the hearts of the mountain bandits feel that Iron Eagle's residence was usually unattended, and Kong Wu and the others were knocked unconscious and thrown nearby, unless they woke up themselves, there was almost no chance of being discovered.
It's just that...... What is the identity of this group of people? Why do you know so much about cottages? Not only do you come and go freely, but you are also familiar with the terrain......
Someone asked nervously: "This, I have to ask Brother Tie Ying, right?" ”
"The master is very sick right now! Why don't you ask? ”
"What if you don't? Can we make it happen with a few brothers? ”
……
The mountain bandits quarreled again.
In the end, they still decided to go to Houshan to report their "Big Brother Iron Eagle", but no one was willing to take the risk of being punished to run this leg, and a group of people in Wuyang caught the lot for a long time, and in the end, this glorious and arduous task fell on Kong Wu's body.
As the initiator of this incident, Kong Wu thought that he was unlucky, and he had his own little abacus in his heart, it was a big deal to go around and come back and say that he hadn't seen anyone, and he could drag on for a while, and the longer the time, the cleaner the suspicion would be.
Chengfeng under the eaves saw this scene and was happy. Someone acted alone, and it just so happened that this person still knew the inside story, isn't this just convenient for him?
Thinking of this, Chengfeng immediately made a few gestures behind him, and several people quietly followed Kong Wu into action, walking more and more quietly, and walking more and more remotely......
Kong Wu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked back, he had already walked a long way, and the lights in the cottage had long since shone here, and at this time it was pitch black behind him, and there was not a single ghost.
"Delusion?" Kong Wu muttered to himself. "Why do you always feel like someone is watching me?"
He thought about it for a while, and felt that he was probably scared by Mrs. Xiao during the day, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to walk forward.
And Chengfeng behind him observed the terrain and felt that it was almost there, and his steps gradually accelerated, and he chased behind Kong Wu in a few steps, with a hand on his shoulder.
Suddenly, Kong Wu felt a chill, trembling all the way from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and there was a "boom" in his head, and for a while he thought he was seeing a ghost.
"Mother! Save ......"
As he opened his throat and was about to shout, Chengfeng unceremoniously stabbed a sword against his neck. His voice was low and indifferent, and he said slowly: "You shout one and try it." ”
Kong Wu didn't dare to shout, and as soon as he pursed his upper and lower lips, he almost found a needle and thread to sew it on his own, and his consciousness was amazingly high.
Chengfeng was very satisfied with his reaction, and then asked, "I'll ask you a few questions, and if you tell the truth, I'll spare you a dog's life." ”
Kong Wu's gaze shifted downward, at the sword against his throat, then at the powerful hand holding the hilt, and nodded cautiously.
Chengfeng said: "Who is the person you brought back during the day?" ”
Kong Wu hesitated for a moment, but still confessed unprincipledly: "...... It's Mrs. Shaw. ”
Chengfeng held the fingers of the hilt of the sword, and his tone became urgent: "What about them?" Taken by whom? ”
“…… This big brother," Kong Wusheng was afraid that he would accidentally turn himself into a revenant under the sword, so he raised his hand and carefully nodded on his sword, and said, "You calm down first and listen to my explanation." ”
Chengfeng shouted: "Less nonsense! Say it! ”
Kong Wu: "I was originally transferred to the cottage with the hostages, but unfortunately I was bumped into by Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao let go of the hostages, and took a few people to pretend to be captives and followed me into the cottage, I took them around, and they should have gone down the mountain by this time." ”
Seeing that Chengfeng was so nervous about Xiao Yuexi's safety, Kong Wu also guessed that they were in a group, and the one in front of him was probably a kind of guard, and when he learned that his master was in danger, he came up in a panic to respond, and he didn't want one to come from the front and the other from the east, and the two parties were wrong......
Chengfeng didn't expect the situation to come to this point.
