Red Dust, Listen to the Wind and Snow Chapter 49
Xiang Botong and Kang Peng, who were riding horses, dismounted at the foot of the mountain and walked towards the mountain with their entourage.
The direction they locked on was where the cave was.
The wind and snow were still raging, and the roar of anger sounded in their ears, making it difficult for them to get in, and it took a lot of effort to get up the mountain.
And Xiang Botong and Kang Peng led the way, no one complained, and no one dared to have any dissatisfaction.
After all, Xiang Kang and the others are people with a thick foundation in kung fu, even in the wind and snow, they still walk like normal people, and even faster than ordinary people.
The mountain was not high, and the cave was not too far, and they quickly reached the entrance of the cave.
Before they could wait for their retinue to follow, they walked in.
Seeing the figures of the two of them disappear into the cave, the long-haired old man said, "Maybe things are going better than I planned." Now that there is no obstacle from Xiang Kang and the others, it is easy for us to kill these minions. ”
Xiao Nuhu said: "You mean, let's attack it now?" ”
The long-haired old man said, "No, we'll wait until these minions are about to get to the mouth of the cave before showing up." ”
After saying this, he explained: "They came all the way against the wind and snow, and they must have wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow, and they were about to avoid it, but we suddenly appeared at this time and killed ......."
He didn't say any more, and Xiao Nuhu already understood it very well.
Giving hope to others, but pinching it off immediately when others are about to see hope, such a blow will definitely make many people unbearable, the mental and psychological blow is big enough, and the already tired body will also leak more strength.
Without Rong Xiao Fuhu thinking too much, the long-haired old man suddenly said, "It's time for us to kill it......"
By this time, the retinue had almost reached the mouth of the cave.
Xiang Botong and Kang Peng, who walked into the cave, walked forward with torches, and suddenly stepped on a pile of soft things.
Kang Peng squatted down and saw a pile of dead ashes.
"Somebody has been here before, and they've just left." Kang Peng Road.
Xiang Botong looked around and said, "Maybe it's not just here, but I live here." ”
The ashes were much thicker, and the upper layer of the cave had become a little blackened by smoke, and it would have been impossible to have such a sign if it had not been for the repeated burning of the bonfire.
Xiang Botong looked at Kang Peng and asked, "Who do you think could possibly live here?" ”
He deliberately bit the word "live" very hard.
Kang Peng said: "Zhen Qiji and Shi Zhongquan are dead, Zhen Xueqing in Zhen's mansion is missing, Liu Yang from the Wild Wolf Mountain Cottage, and Xiao Nuhu, who has a high kung fu level, are also missing. If I'm not mistaken, the people hiding here are either one of the three of them, or all three. ”
Xiang Botong asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Kang Peng said: "On the night that Qixue City was attacked by the people from the Wild Wolf Mountain Cottage, everyone in Zhen's Mansion saw Zhen Xueqing leave with Xiao Nuhu with a broken arm. Before they left, Liu Yang had already withdrawn with the people in the cottage. And as the third master of the Wild Wolf Mountain cottage, it is impossible to ignore the life and death of the second master, Xiao Nuhu, so it is very likely that she is lurking outside the Zhen Mansion, and when she sees Zhen Xueqing coming out with Xiao Nuhu, she will inevitably follow. ”
After a pause, he added, "It is impossible for a seriously injured person to run too far. And this cave is very close to Syracuse City, and it is absolutely possible that they are hiding here. ”
Xiang Bodao: "Based on your analysis, do you think that the seriously injured martial arts master Xiao Nuhu is dead?" ”
Kang Peng thought about it and didn't say anything.
Xiang Botong said again: "If he hadn't died, he would definitely be here to recuperate for a while, and now he must be in this cave, but ......"
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in the hearts of Xiang Kang and the others.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a terrible cry outside the cave.
Their faces turned gray.
You don't have to think about it to know that they have most likely been ambushed, locked in a cave and unable to abscond.
One after another screams were transmitted into the cave, and with a continuous echo, Xiang Kang and the others' originally calm minds were disturbed.
I thought that the danger encountered in such bad weather would be very small, but I didn't expect that people were not as good as the sky, and they still encountered great dangers.
And in the future, even if they break out of this danger, they still have to seek treasure, and they need a lot of manpower, how can they do it with just the two of them?
What's more, they all know that there are many mechanisms here, and if they want to break the mechanism, they must let themselves hover on the edge of life and death, and if they are not careful, they will fall into the valley of death. With those men exploring the way, they are less dangerous, and now that their men may have been killed, what are the chances of them getting the treasure?
However, Xiang Kang and the others did not plan for the worst.
If this is indeed the cave where Xiao Nuhu and the others are hiding, then they have nothing to fear.
Kang Peng's martial arts are now almost unmatched, Xiao Nuhu couldn't beat him before he was injured, and now he has a broken arm, and he has been stabbed in the chest, and the injury has not yet recovered, how can he beat him?
Liu Yang's light skills are okay, but it is a dead end to play tricks with himself.
Not to mention Zhen Xueqing, she is his apprentice, he just taught her some self-defense skills, and she may not be able to beat him as a master if she has ten.
Therefore, even if the treasure excavation fails this time, it will be possible to eradicate these three remaining scourges here, as if it is not a bad thing, but a good thing.
However, they never imagined that there was another person living in this cave.
When Xiao Nuhu and the other four killed the group of subordinates brought by Xiang Kang and the others, they couldn't help but be shocked when they appeared in front of them, and fear immediately hit Xiang Botong's heart.
Xiang Botong saw a person he thought he would never see again in his life.
Because that man is dead, already more than thirty years ago.
More than thirty years have passed, and that person is obviously too old, but that person's face is often in his nightmares, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.
A man who has been dead for more than thirty years is still alive, and he still appears in front of him with an old figure, how dare he believe his eyes?
How could he believe that this person, who had already been killed by him, was still standing in front of him and had lived for more than thirty years?
Didn't he get stabbed to death by himself? Why are you still alive and well?
He still vividly remembers the scene of him breaking into the man's new house with his cronies on that brightly lit night and stabbing the man in the chest with a single shot.
He could not forget that man's eyes widened before he died, and he saw his horror and disbelief, as well as the viciousness and hatred that flowed from his eyes.
Even after more than 30 years, when he thought of what that person looked like before he died, he still felt frightened and chilled.
Also, how did that person end up here? How could he be with Xiao Nuhu and the others?
Is the treasure in this cave related to that person?
Since Xiao Nuhu and the others guessed that they would come and set up an ambush, could it be that this action of their own was self-defeating?
That person is here waiting for him to throw himself into the net, to catch him off guard, and to let him die here?
Without thinking much about it, the man sneered and said, "Brother Xiang, after more than 30 years, do you still remember the old man who died under your gun back then?" ”
