Chapter 172: Counting is Counting
A large group of people climbed over two mountains, and sure enough, they saw a trail with some small fishing villages next to it. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion bought a few cows and a few carts in the village to use as baggage.
Walking along the path for dozens of miles, it is as the sea says, directly on a road, and the direction of the road is the south leading to Taiwan.
Fang Xiaofan and his party walked on foot, the speed was not fast, the journey of a day was more than 100 miles, and the journey of more than 300 kilometers took several days. The roads led by the sea are relatively remote roads, and there are no people or any obstacles along the way.
Everyone stayed day and night, it was already the sixth day, and according to the expectation, they would be able to arrive at Chengtianfu tomorrow.
"The sea, will there be a mountain road in the journey tomorrow?" Fang Xiaofan sat in the tent and asked towards the sea. There are many mountains in Taiwan, and along the way, we have climbed a lot of peaks, although it is not high, but the speed is not fast.
"Qiqi Chief Helmsman, there is a long and narrow valley forty miles ahead, and after the valley and thirty miles away, it is the boundary of Chengtianfu." The sea said respectfully.
"Well, you go down first, have a good rest, and hurry tomorrow." Fang Xiaofan nodded, then waved his hand.
When the sea came out of the tent, Fang Xiaofan beckoned to Xu Tianchuan.
Fang Xiaofan looked into Xu Tianchuan's ears and said softly.
"No, could the helmsman be mistaken?" Xu Tianchuan's face changed, and he said, he really didn't believe what Fang Xiaofan said.
"You go and inform the incense master of the four halls, and do what I want, if you make a mistake, you will know tomorrow." Fang Xiaofan patted Xu Tianchuan's shoulder, and a slight smile appeared on his mouth.
"Yes." Xu Tianchuan agreed, and then came out of the tent.
Early the next morning, the crowd got up, and then, led by the sea, walked forward.
When walking for nearly 40 miles, a large canyon half a meter wide appeared in front of you, and on both sides of the canyon were cliffs more than ten meters high.
"Brother Dahai, do you think Zheng Keshuang will set up an ambush in front?" Fang Xiaofan stopped, turned his head and asked the sea beside him.
"Chief helmsman, please rest assured, although it is a natural danger here, the Zheng family does not know that we have come to Taiwan, and there is absolutely no possibility of ambush." The sea looked ahead and said, there was not a single officer or soldier along the way, and according to reason, it was unlikely that it would be exposed.
Fang Xiaofan nodded, waved his hand, and the team continued to walk towards the front.
When the large group approached the canyon, all of a sudden, they heard the sound of shouting and killing on the cliff, which shook the heavens and the earth.
As soon as the sound sounded, I saw the sea abandon everyone and quickly rush forward, and then climbed up a slope that was not too steep, and climbed quickly towards the cliff.
"We're in an ambush!" I don't know who shouted, everyone was shocked, ambushed here, no matter how high your martial arts are, it will be useless. As long as the enemy pushes the boulder down, then there are countless casualties.
While everyone was panicking, Fang Xiaofan, Xu Tianchuan and a few incense masters and a few others smiled slightly, and it turned out to be completely inappropriate.
"Brothers, don't panic, just keep going." Fang Xiaofan looked at everyone and shouted loudly, and the echo kept coming from the canyon.
As soon as everyone heard Fang Xiaofan speak, they found that there was only shouting on the cliff, but there was no movement, and they couldn't help but walk towards the front with some suspicions.
After a while, suddenly a team of people rushed out from the front, and everyone was startled again. It's just that when you can see the appearance of the people in front of you clearly, everyone is relieved, and it is the brothers of Lotus Hall and Hong Shuntang who rushed over in front.
Just when everyone was puzzled, a figure rolled down the slope, and fell directly in the middle of the two teams.
The figure that rolled down was ragged, covered in mud, and covered in blood.
Fang Xiaofan walked over and picked up the figure. Only then did everyone realize that this person was the fisherman who led them to the sea, but everyone never understood what was going on.
"The chief helmsman is really like a god, last night we were lying in ambush on the cliff, and this morning before dawn, sure enough, we found officers and soldiers from the side of the cliff ready to climb up. The brothers fired stones and arrows in unison, directly beating them to the ground, killing and wounding countless people. Fang Dahong, the incense master of Hong Shuntang, walked directly in front of Fang Xiaofan, and the admiration on his face was self-evident.
"Haha, I can only blame this sea brother for not being able to act." Fang Xiaofan laughed, this so-called fisherman really didn't pretend to be too unlike.
"I don't know how the chief helmsman can see that this person is a fake?" Xu Tianchuan and the others also walked in front of Fang Xiaofan, but Xu Tianchuan, who brought the sea over, had too much confusion in his heart, and everyone was also very confused.
"This fisherman's appearance is somewhat similar, but his expression is not the same." Fang Xiaofan threw the sea in his hand to the ground, and then continued: "Ordinary people, seeing such a big battle with us, naturally have a little fear and curiosity in their hearts, but this person is extremely calm, which is a little abnormal. And this person speaks fluently and freely, without any flaws, it seems that he has practiced in advance, ordinary people, seeing us and others, most of them can't even speak clearly, and they will never be as comfortable as him. And last night, when he told me that there was a canyon in front of me, the expression on his face showed an unnatural hint of expectation, which was obviously a manifestation of thought. As for him telling me that there was a canyon ahead, so that I would know in advance, and when I could see it, I would not be too strange and suspicious. ”
"So I made a plan last night, and asked Brother Xu to inform the hall master of the four halls to go to the canyon in the starry night, move some big stones to the canyon, and then wait and see what happens. Sure enough, someone wanted to climb the cliff this morning to ambush us, but they didn't expect us to be prepared in advance. Fang Xiaofan smiled slightly and looked at the sea on the ground again.
The sea also raised his head and looked at Fang Xiaofan, with a look of horror in his eyes, he thought that he had behaved well enough, but he didn't expect that there were so many flaws in that person's eyes. It's just that now his heart is already deeply afraid, he doesn't want to die, but he knows that he can't be spared.
Fang Xiaofan waved his hand, and two people came over and directly pushed the sea on the ground to the side, keeping him still had some effect.
"Brothers of Xuanshuitang and Huangtutang, please tear off the clothes of those Taiwanese officers and soldiers and put them on your own bodies." Seeing that the sea was taken to the side, Fang Xiaofan said to the brothers of the other two halls on the cliff, these two classes were arranged to meet the brothers on the cliff. The other two were guarded at the exit of the canyon so that no one escaped. (To be continued.) )
