Chapter Twenty-Five: The Capture of Xiaolong Mountain
After a while, Zhang woke up again.
"How long have you been gone?" Zhang Cai was angry and asked.
The old man of the yellow turban replied: "It's been more than two hours, don't worry about the sage, the big boss is brave and strong, it is difficult to find an opponent, and it will be fine." ”
"The valley is secret, there has never been an accident, and now it has been attacked and destroyed, and there is no way to escape alive." A hint of coldness flashed in Zhang Cai's eyes, "If the old man is not bad, someone must have leaked the secret." ”
"You go and bring the few people who have been arrested and brought in, and the old man will question them one by one." Zhang Cai is not sure if there is really a mole, but since he has suspicions, he naturally has to inquire from the new recruits first, and if there is no problem, then check them one by one from the members in the cottage.
"Yes, the old slave will do it." The old man in the yellow scarf suddenly remembered something, "Yes, sage, among the new people in the mountain, there is a woman who seems to be missing, early this morning, that Luo Long also found the big boss to make a fuss, saying that there are brothers in the cottage who covet beauty and kidnap people at night." ”
"When did the man go missing, last night?" Zhang Cai's eyes burst with light, and he was furious, "Why didn't anyone tell the old man about such a big thing?" I'm not dead yet, so you just treat the old man as a dead man? ”
Seeing that Zhang Cai seemed to be furious, the old man in the yellow turban was frightened.
It's not that these people have ignored Zhang Cai's authority, it's just that in the eyes of these thieves, this kind of thing is really nothing to make a fuss about, and they don't think too much about it at all, they all think that it must be a brother in the cottage who is upset. It's all over the money, and it's not uncomfortable to find out. Naturally, he wouldn't have come to tell Zhang Cai, so as not to disturb the sage to recuperate.
"What about that Luo Long, who is here now?" Zhang Cai sat up from the couch. Even though his body was weak, he still clutched a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.
That was the source of his strength and his final reliance, a volume of Taiping Essentials engraved by the great sages and good teachers.
Taiping Essentials is also known as the Taiping Sutra, the Taiping Qing Collar Book, divided into 10 parts, 17 volumes each, a total of 170 volumes. Zhang Jiao claimed to have met Nanhua immortals, and was taught by him three volumes of the Book of Heaven, which contains the mysteries of the sun, the Taiyin, the middle and the three qis, which are said to be the most important part of the Taiping Technique, expounding the infinite meaning of heaven, earth and man.
Since Zhang Jiao died of illness in Guangzong, the whereabouts of the three volumes of the Book of Heaven are unknown. But even if it is only the Taiping technique engraved by Zhang Jiao, it still has an unpredictable mysterious power, and Zhang Caizhen never leaves his hand if he lives.
"Master Hui, Na Luo Long has already taken the initiative to ask to follow the big leader down the mountain. However, Luo Long's two companions were still on the mountain. ”
After listening to the answer of the old man in the yellow scarf, Zhang Cai said categorically: "Sure enough, there is a ghost, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, people disappeared last night, and then the location of the valley was found by the government last night." According to the old man, it must have been Luo Long who asked the woman to go down the mountain to ventilate the news, and then deliberately found such an excuse in order to paralyze you and others. ”
Although Zhang Cai's guess is quite different from the real situation, he was able to lock Luo Long's suspicion in a hurry, and he can indeed be called the wise man of Xiaolongshan.
"If only the old man had known earlier!"
Zhang Cai's eyes narrowed, according to his estimate, Daniel Zhang was probably already fierce and unlucky at this time. After several years of hard work, I finally had a place to stay, but now, I am afraid that it will be buried in one day.
"Go and arrest the two remaining companions of Na Luolong, and the old man will interrogate him personally, whether they are involved or not, he must know some clues." As soon as Zhang Cai's words fell, Qian Erhu, who was in charge of staying behind, stumbled in, his voice full of panic.
"Oh no, the mountain is full of torches, the government ...... The government has attacked the mountain! ”
"How many people are left in the cottage?" Zhang Cai's face was expressionless, but there was a trace of pathos in his heart.
"No...... Less than ten people. Qian Erhu snorted, a burst of despair in his eyes.
Xiaolong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the two paths on the side of the mountain are rugged and crooked, only need to set up a checkpoint, seven or eight people can hold the whole road, and the main road on the mountain is blocked by the walled gate halfway up the mountain. In the past, the government came to suppress it several times, but nearly 1,000 people couldn't even attack the walled gate with only a few dozen people for a long time, but instead left a corpse on the ground.
But now, there are less than ten guards in the entire cottage, and once something happens, it will inevitably take care of one or the other, and it is simply full of loopholes, and it can't be defended at all.
On the mountain road, countless torches resemble a fiery dragon.
Surrounded by the crowd, Gao Heng was full of spirits, once upon a time, the yellow scarves on Xiaolong Mountain were entrenched here, scourging Gaoxiang and Xixiang, but now, it is about to disappear in his own hands.
said that he went to the county seat overnight to report his merits, just to get rid of Du Wu, and didn't want Xixiang to follow him for a piece of the pie. For the matter of retribution, just send someone to take Daniel Zhang to the county government.
Xiaolongshan Yellow Turbans have been looting the township for many years, not to mention the accumulation of money and food, it must be a huge savings.
Seeing that Gao Heng gave an order, he was able to summon the people of a township, and the rangers and athletes served one after another, Brother Long was so jealous that his eyes were red, You, this official is not small, how many official tasks does this guy have to brush to sit in this position?
But in such a short period of a few days, how many government tasks can you get? Damn, is this guy hanging?
Brother Long was puzzled.
In the last world, he entered the world of Yitian, and teamed up with another veteran to brush up on many tasks in the official mansion, and he was only promoted from an ordinary soldier to a general himself, so he was not valued, and he was always regarded as a thug and a dog leg by Shangguan. If the last world could be mixed with a powerful township official like Gao Heng, even if it was just a small village official, he would not end up dying with only Brother Long, barely completing the task.
Hundreds of Gaoxiang young and strong people almost effortlessly broke through the gate guarded by only a few people.
When these yellow turbans saw the crowd coming, they were all shocked and colorless, and their defenses were useless. In fact, even if they are dying and struggling, it is impossible to defend it, because in addition to the walled gate, there is also a walled wall more than ten meters long, and the number of people is not enough, so they can't defend it at all.
"Deng Qifu, Gao You, how to deal with these people?" A pavilion chief under Gao Xiang asked.
Two of the yellow turbans were besieged to death because of their desperate resistance, and the remaining three were also injured and couldn't move their bodies because they were tied with hemp rope.
Deng Huli ignored it, and hurriedly led people to continue up the mountain, obviously letting Gao Heng deal with it.
"These thieves have the blood of the villagers on their hands, so they should naturally pay for their debts with blood." Each of these yellow scarves is a thief for many years, and it is difficult to make them repent, and if they are released, they will inevitably defect to other yellow turbans in the future and continue to harm ordinary people.
"Chen Ru, you come to kill them." Gao Heng handed a knife to Chen Ru, who was following aside.
Chen Ru was startled, looked at the three yellow turban thieves tied to the ground, his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't move his feet. Growing so big, she has never even killed chickens and ducks, let alone killing.
"I ...... I ......" Chen Ru had the heart to refuse, but he didn't dare.
"It turns out that you betrayed the cottage!" When the three yellow turban thieves saw Chen Ru and Brother Long under the light of the torches, they were stunned for a moment, and then they understood. These Yellow Turban thieves thought they were going to die, and they didn't intend to forgive them at all.
"You little girl, I knew that Lao Tzu should have taken your turn at that time and opened your waterway and dry road......"
"You, dare to betray grandpa, don't let grandpa live, otherwise you will definitely insert you and let you kneel and lick grandpa......"
The yellow turban thieves scolded and swore foul language.
Brother Long was furious when he heard this, took out the sand eagle, and shot and killed the two Yellow Turban thieves who scolded the most. However, he knew that Gao Heng intended to let Chen Ru practice his hands, so he left a yellow turban thief and did not kill him. After harvesting two lives, Brother Long casually turned his legs and followed Deng Hu in front of them.
Chen Ru's face turned even paler, her knife was unstable, and she was about to collapse when she saw two living people being killed in front of her. Gao Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he grabbed Chen Ru's wrist holding the knife and pushed it forward.
"Don't!" Chen Ru screamed miserably, his eyes closed and he didn't dare to look, only feeling that the tip of the knife in his hand seemed to have stabbed an object, and then a warm liquid splashed on his hand.
I killed someone! I killed someone......
That pungent bloody breath made Chen Ru unstoppable fear and nausea, and his stomach kept tumbling and boiling.
Chen Ru burst into tears, ran to the side like crazy and vomited desperately, retched for a while, looked at the blood splattered on the back of his hand, and suddenly vomited even more, constantly wiping the back of his hand on the rocks, but he couldn't wipe it clean, and he didn't dare to wipe it on his clothes.
Gao Heng shook his head, walked up and patted her on the shoulder.
Chen Ru shouted as if he had seen a demon: "Don't come, don't come over!" ”
"Don't make any noise!" Gao Heng grabbed her body and said word by word, "The world is so cruel, if you don't kill people, then you won't be able to live!" ”
"Think about your parents and family, how sad would they be if you died?" If it weren't for the fact that Chen Ru was a beauty, Gao Heng would have thrown her aside to fend for herself, if she couldn't even support the level of hand training, this kind of psychological quality was destined to be a burden, even if she sold her body, it was useless.
"But, but I killed someone...... Chen Ru cried and squatted on the ground with tears in her eyes.
"You've played the game, and you've tried to upgrade and fight monsters, these are NPCs, what are you afraid of?" Gao Heng didn't have much patience anymore, if Chen Ru couldn't hold on, then he would give up on her.
For three months of survival tasks, Gao Heng didn't want to be a nanny.
Chen Ru raised his head and wanted to say how could there be such a realistic game? Those people are clearly flesh and blood, with their own thoughts and souls, these are obviously living people, how can they be fictional game characters?
But in the end, Chen Ru swallowed these words back into her stomach, she was not stupid, she knew that if she dragged her feet too much, she would most likely be thrown away as a burden.
In fact, Gao Heng also knows that the world he is in is a real world, and everyone is a living and real life. The reason why I say this is nothing more than to make Chen Ru's heart feel better, and then I won't feel guilty, and it won't lead to the task being unable to do it when it is needed.
Gao Heng glanced at her, then turned around and headed towards the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, under the background of the torches at this time, the fiery red light shone on Zhang Cai, whose face was gloomy. In front of him were the remnants of the Yellow Turban Old Man and Qian Erhu. Blocked in the mountains, the three of them had nowhere to escape.
