Chapter 94: Clearing the Mountain Bandits (15)
Xiao Yuexi paused and asked, "I've always felt strange, you say...... Could the claim of this vein be a cover? ”
Fengshuangxue: "I thought about it too, but when I think about it, it doesn't make sense, what person who goes out without a brain would try to cover up something through the veins?" It's also too easy to notice. ”
Xiao Yuexi glanced at her meaningfully and asked rhetorically: "What if...... What the other party wants to cover up is not here? ”
"What, what ......" Fengshuangxue lay on Chengfeng's back, looked at Xiao Yuexi in a daze, and only reacted after a while, what did she mean.
Xiao Yuexi said again: "That's why we can't find the ore veins, and we can't find those young and strong people, most likely, where are they all secretly transferred?" ”
Chengfeng's physical strength is good, and he is not tired all the way after carrying the wind, frost and snow, and he shook his head when he heard this: "Impossible, so many people, how can there be no movement when they are transferred?" This ......"
He couldn't go any further, because he sensed something was wrong.
Xiao Yuexi looked at him and said in a deep tone: "That's why they divert our attention in this way, at the beginning, we didn't think about it in this direction, but now, it is enough for them to talk about the people quietly moving in multiple batches." There is only one possibility I can think of for this kind of strong man - they want to recruit soldiers to seize power! ”
Chengfeng: "That's it...... It's complicated! You have to inform your master quickly! ”
"There's no urgency." Xiao Yuexi said. "It's too late to stop it, your master knows it sooner or later, and it doesn't have much impact, but I still have some questions I want to ask Miss Feng."
Fengshuangxue was stunned, and looked at Xiao Yuexi suspiciously, but did not speak.
The corners of Xiao Yuexi's mouth hooked up a light and cold arc, and said slowly: "I was thinking about this all the way just now, I don't know if Miss Feng has noticed that there are obvious traces of human life in the dark room of the dungeon - I thought it was a fire set by someone living in the dark room at first, but the more I thought about it, the more strange it became......"
Chengfeng heard it in the clouds, but the wind, frost and snow understood, his eyes were calm, and he said indifferently: "If Madame has any doubts, just say it." ”
Xiao Yuexi nodded: "Hmm!" Then I won't go around in circles with you. Wind girl, did you put this fire? ”
She had reason to be suspicious, because the secret passage connecting the dark room to the back mountain was seriously deviated from the dungeon, and if the person had walked through the secret passage, there would have been no conditions for arson. It was wind, frost and snow, she had plenty of time to do all this, if it wasn't for the bad luck when she came out, she happened to catch up with the collapse of the secret passage, and she smashed her leg to death, I am afraid that this operation would be perfect.
Or, the leg injury was also deliberate. According to the original plan, Fengshuangxue needed to dress up as a pathetic woman who was taken captive by mountain bandits, and was rescued by Xiao Yuexi who took advantage of the chaos but had nowhere to go, and Xiao Yuexi naturally left her by her side. It is not excluded that the wind, frost and snow have made such a temporary move, and the "life-saving grace" is made more realistic, and it will not make people suspicious......
After a long time, Fengshuangxue replied indifferently: "It's not me." ”
Xiao Yuexi nodded again: "Okay!" I believe what you say. At this juncture, I really don't want to let go of any possible suspicions, Miss Feng, forgive me. ”
Fengshuangxue glanced at her meaningfully and did not answer.
Even Chengfeng, who didn't have a bright brain in Mrs. Xiao's eyes, sensed that something was wrong, and silently lowered his head and hurried away, as if he could get rid of this delicate atmosphere.
"Huh?" Xiao Yuexi suddenly stopped and glanced around vigilantly.
Inevitably being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble, Xiao Yuexi had already put out the candle flame that he was carrying all the way and threw it aside, and the three of them slowly walked back in the dark, but they didn't make any noise. In the barren mountains and mountains, abnormalities will be discovered quickly.
Seeing her reaction, Chengfeng immediately raised his vigilance, paying close attention to the surroundings, and really made him discover that something was wrong.
There was a large group of men and horses that were moving in their direction, and it was not clear whether the target was them, but such a large group of people, if it was not their own people, was somewhat dangerous.
There was a desolation all around, there was no shop in front of the village, there was not even a bunker for people to hide, and the situation of the three people was a little dangerous.
Xiao Yuexi was the first to analyze: "There are about fifty people, well-trained and fast, if it is our people, it will be perfect...... Ride the wind! ”
Seeing that she suddenly became solemn, Chengfeng's gaze couldn't help but froze, and he subconsciously straightened his waist and said, "My subordinates are here!" ”
"I'll explore the way, and you carry the Wind Girl first. This thing was supposed to be for you, but you had trouble moving with the wind girl on your back, and I couldn't carry her, so I had to do this. You pay attention to yourself and go back first, and if I meet my own people, I will take them to chase you. ”
Chengfeng still wanted to say something, but Xiao Yuexi didn't seem to have much patience to listen, and turned her head very decisively and left, ignoring the call of Chengfeng behind him to lower his volume.
After a while, when Xiao Yuexi bumped head-on into a group of purging Xuanyi teams, she was extremely glad for the decision she made.
When the other party met Xiao Yuexi at the first time, he was obviously frightened, and then surrounded her with a murderous face, and quietly showed his blade.
"Ahem, I said everyone, if you have something to say!" Xiao Yuexi broke the deadlock while calculating in her heart. There are basically no obstacles in this barren mountain, and there is no need to detour anywhere you want. Xiao Yuexi watched them come from afar, and it seemed that they were going straight to the back mountain, and eighty percent of them were the subordinates of the master.
The Xuanyi man who started his head asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows, don't know her? That's a good feeling!
She immediately put on a dog-legged face of "begging the hero to spare his life", and said cautiously: "I...... I am a healer of the city, come, come to the mountains to collect medicine. ”
The questioner was amused, but he became more vigilant: "Are you an idiot for me?" In the middle of the night, go to the barren mountains and fields to collect medicine? ”
"You don't know that!" When it comes to medicinal herbs, she seems to have become bolder, like a medicine idiot. She said with great interest: "It is recorded in the Book of Medicine that there is a medicine, called 'Nirvana Branch', which grows in the mountains and is ripe for fire, which is a good medicine that can not be found!" I, don't I want to...... Try your luck. ”
"Big brother......" A man took a step forward from the team and did not shy away: "The master told us to act as soon as possible, or don't talk nonsense with her." ”
As he spoke, the blade in his hand was raised, and when his eldest brother nodded, he went over and turned out to be this healer with a lot of nonsense.
Xiao Yuexi took half a step back, with a rather realistic panic on her face: "Hey, hey, hey!" I don't know who you are, but it's not right to kill innocents indiscriminately! The Buddha said, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground'! You, you, don't mess around......"
"Tsk!" The leader waved his hand unhappily and said, "Leave her alone, let's go!" ”
More than fifty people were centered on him, and since he said that he would let him go, there was no need for them to rush to kill them all, so they quickly withdrew the encirclement, bypassed Xiao Yuexi and set off to the north.
Wait a minute! How is it to the north?!
Xiao Yuexi watched the group of people quickly walking farther and farther in the direction of Chengfeng, and the drumbeat in his heart was still fierce - Chengfeng carried the wind, frost and snow, it was impossible for them to go as fast, and there was still a long way to go from the lair of the mountain bandits, and they would definitely be caught up by these people halfway. Can Chengfeng be fooled by such good luck as her? Xiao Yuexi thought about Chengfeng's slightly wooden face, but didn't dare to hold this hope.
Just as she was thinking about how to draw the group's attention back, a man in the group suddenly walked up to the front and whispered something in the ear of their leader. The man immediately raised his hand to stop the marching procession, and turned his head to look in the direction of Xiao Yuexi.
Xiao Yuexi didn't want to think about it, she turned around and ran!
Sure enough, the team that didn't know why they were suspicious came after her unswervingly.
"Big brother! I'll just say something is wrong with this woman! Call...... Otherwise, what would she run? ”
The leader replied with a calm face: "Shut up!" The person had already rushed behind Xiao Yuexi quickly, and pressed one hand on her shoulder.
Xiao Yuexi dodged shortly, and at the same time hit him in the abdomen with a black and fierce elbow, and at the moment when he bent down in pain, he pulled out the short knife on his waist and jumped backwards to open the distance, the whole set of movements was coherent and fast, if it wasn't for the conditions, the audience present even wanted to applaud.
As soon as he fought, he suffered such a big loss, and the leader's face was not very good-looking, but the surrounding black was not visible. Xiao Yuexi flipped the short knife in her hand, Xu felt that she was taking advantage of it, and the corners of her mouth raised a trace of arc.
The leader gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you ...... Mrs. Shaw? ”
"Yo! Is this recognizable? It's boring! Xiao Yuexi admitted very happily.
"Didn't Mrs. Xiao die in the fire?"
Xiao Yuexi said: "You are very well-informed! What is this for? Do you need help? ”
After a moment of silence, the leader suddenly sneered and said, "Mrs. Xiao, the master was originally sad for your death!" You're going to come with us, right? ”
Xiao Yuexi didn't think about it and asked, "Can I not leave?" ”
"I'm sorry for you!" Before the words fell, he waved his hand, and more than fifty people attacked Xiao Yuexi together. You can pick up the lonely Mrs. Xiao when you go out casually, if such luck is wasted, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing?
Xiao Yuexi naturally wouldn't give in, not only resisted, but also resisted regardless of it - because she could see that what this group of people wanted to catch was alive! There were several times when they faced the enemy's blades, so frightened that they had to turn the offensive, and they were injured countless times by mistake, but Xiao Yuexi himself had nothing to do, and he still had time to calculate the time while maneuvering.
I tried my best to drag it on for so long, and I don't know how far I rode the wind.
