The five caterpillars have successfully retreated to the entrance of the cave, desperately resisting the swarming warriors.

Most of the samurai of Hu'an Mountain continued to stay outside Dongting Village, and some entered the village, searching room by room and corner by corner.

The caterpillars understand that the road to Xialongshui Gorge must be rugged, and they must buy more of the most precious thing for the four of Du Qunfang - time.

At this time, the other ambushed samurai had already been killed, and the five caterpillars were outnumbered, all seriously injured, covered in blood.

Suddenly, the fire in the cave grew loud and spat out the mouth of the cave.

It turned out that the passage between the cave and Longshui Gorge was previously isolated, at this time, due to the four people of Du Qunfang skidding the peach wood five-element door panel, the passage came out naturally, but as soon as the cave was passed, the air below gushed up, just like a chimney, hanging the wind to blow, the "rocket" was the first to ignite the pine hair, hay, and did not burn more wood and other things quickly for a while.

The caterpillar said, "It's time to go into the hole!"

The five caterpillars smoked and burst into the hole, and when they saw that the four of them were nowhere to be seen, they knew that they had successfully escaped.

The flames rushed towards the caterpillar, and he didn't seem to feel the pain, but felt the whole hole spinning, and he couldn't stand steadily, and said, "Good brothers!

There was a "porphy" sound, and the caterpillar fell to the ground.

During this time, he himself knew best that the pressure was too much, almost to the point of being unbearable.

Just now, when he heard Du Qunfang say "fire attack", he was stunned in his heart, and immediately thought that if he was seriously injured or other circumstances, he really couldn't escape, and fire was the best way to disfigure. He had long concluded that to escape from this encirclement, it would not be as easy as Mu Zisan said, and he would definitely die.

The caterpillar fell to the ground, feeling that his lungs were about to burst, and secretly thought: "Dream language, I can only do this step for my brother, and then, it depends on the will of God." ”

Afterwards, he said to himself and said the last sentence of his life: "Du Mao dog, you fire is too good!"

"Chase in!" someone shouted outside.

"It's a dead end inside!" someone replied.

"No, they are desperately trying to enter this hole, there must be a secret way!" "Tall Chicken" is no longer conceited at this time.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger.

A dozen samurai rushed into the cave and found several of the Assassins on the ground, on fire, unable to run again, it was too hot inside, the air was poor, and they retreated.

One person said hurriedly: "It's determined that you can't run away!"

The "tall chicken" was furious and shouted, "Grab the dead ones for me!" After saying that, he rushed into the cave himself, his hair was on fire, and he quickly turned around and came out, faster than he went in......

Lan Xun thought that he had done a great job, and hurried to pick the fruit, but when he arrived, he found that the assassin had entered the cave, and after inspection, he should have gone down to Longshui Gorge, and there were five "assassin" corpses, which had been snatched out, but they were burned beyond recognition.

Lan Xun was furious at several leaders: "Generals, you need to know the terrain, ambush for several days, and some people live in the cave, but they don't find an exit!

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and the "tall chicken" was even more stunned.

was scolding angrily, and reported that Pu Yancang arrived on a fast horse.

Park Yeon-cang had seen Lan Xun and had also come to light a torch to check the cave, which was still hot.

Pu Yancang came out and said, "Brother Lan is angry. Every time I go to the grassland, I have to come to this village to eat turtledoves and other game, and more than once I came to this cave to rest and cool, and I drank with Mu Zisan many times, and I never knew that there was an outlet inside. The owner must be called for questioning. ”

Lan Xun, who was angry, calmed down and ordered him to invite him quickly.

Mu Zisan was loosened early in the morning, jogging over in small steps, on the road I heard someone saying that the assassin died five times, ran a few, and there were joys and sorrows, I don't know if Mu Mangzi, Du Qunfang, and the female assassin, whether they died or ran away, they didn't dare to ask - in fact, he had already seen that it was a dream, and he deliberately didn't wear it, but he didn't understand why.

Seeing Lan Xun, Mu Zisan "heard" that there was an exit in the cave, and pretended to be shocked: "When I was old, I heard from the adults that behind the wooden planks was the ghost road in Xialongshui Gorge, and he never dared to open those wooden boards. Could it be that they will go down to Longshui Gorge? Looking for death! I don't understand, I can't understand!" shook his head again and again.

Lan Xun said: "My people have been lying in it for many days, and they don't know that there is an exit, how can the assassins know?"

This is almost to put it bluntly, that is, you are suspected of being an enemy with three links.

At this time, someone said in a strange manner: "Master Muzhuang, you seem to be very polite to the assassin, are you familiar?"

"What do you mean?" Lan Xun asked urgently.

The man reported several fragments of the activities in the village that could be seen in the ambush on the mountain.

Lan Xun forced Mu Zisan to look.

"Hehe! It's a distinguished guest here, if I don't 'get acquainted', I'm afraid that Dongting Village will get up early and burst into flames! The old man wants to ask: Why didn't you come out to help greet the assassins when they entered Dongting Village for a long time?"

Lan Xun was regretting that he had miscalculated because of the exhaustion of the mechanism, and said: "When the robbers enter the house, it is difficult to be the owner of the wood village, so there is no need to say more." I also want to ask the owner of the wood village: how do the assassins know the exit?"

Mu Zisan said: "I suspect that those assassins themselves escaped from Longshui Gorge. ”

I don't know if he was in a hurry, or if he was tied to the pillar of the house and the inspiration had already come.

Hu'an Mountain Boat Master Pu Yancang went in and out of the grassland, often transferred to Dongting Village to rest, and had a good relationship with Mu Zisan, and he didn't want Mu Zisan to be involved in the sensitive assassin issue - if he was implicated, it meant that Hu'an Palace had a great responsibility, so he said:

"The owner of Muzi Zhuang is reasonable. At that time, Hu Anbo's former wife Ba Yongchun was robbed in Wanfeng Linhai, and later Gongzi Menglong was also assassinated in Wanfeng Linhai. Perhaps, it is really possible that the assassin is a ghost who escaped from Longshui Gorge!"

Although Lan Xun was skeptical, there was no sufficient evidence to refute it.

Park Yancang continued: "Brother Lan doesn't have to worry too much. Longxia, after every heavy rain, there is a rumbling sound of water below, and the fog is rising, so it is also called Longshui Gorge.

"According to legend, dragons come and go from this gorge. If people go down, the mud cow enters the river, there is no return, it is as famous as the sinkhole, the sea of ten thousand winds and forests, the dream valley, and the Tianqi Peak.

"It's dark, it's useless to chase it, just hold the entrance to the cave and come back tomorrow to check.

"Again. If the assassin is not from Longshui Gorge, it is not surprising that he will be sent to the door within three or five days. ”

The matter has come to an end, Lan Xun is helpless, and said: "There are still hateful, there are several assassins who died in the cave, but they were scorched by the fire and couldn't distinguish their faces. ”

At this time, the chief of the Yidu Baifu said: "I also killed a few assassins in the jungle, and they have been brought back, do the two generals go to see it first?"

Although Mu Zisan said comforting words to the caterpillar, he actually didn't have much bottom in his heart, and he was secretly surprised when he heard this.

At this moment, the Hu'an Mountain Master Wu Baichang arrived from Lin Yunguan on a bareback horse, listened briefly to the situation, and scolded angrily: "Just a little thief, I haven't caught a live mouth, it's too cowardly!"

Park Yancang persuaded a few words, and stopped with a look.

Lan Xun, Park Yancang, and Yu Yuan, accompanied by several middle-level lieutenants, came to the grass outside the main gate of Dongting Village to check on the three corpses.

Under the firelight, Park Yancang saw three corpses, with multiple injuries, and his face was also wounded, and there were blood stains, although because the corpses were too dirty, he couldn't be completely sure, but he didn't know any of them.

Lan Xun said to his deputy: "Let people go and fetch some water, wash it, and then gather all the samurai together to see if anyone knows them!"

The kite glanced at one of the corpses, felt familiar, and looked at it, sure enough, it was the native of the old village of the Gu clan; and then looked at the other two, was he still afraid?"

The cold sweat came out all of a sudden, wiped the sweat on his face, and said, "This day, it's so hot!"

The kite took a few steps forward, gently kicked a corpse, and said, "Two, I look at this person, it seems that I have seen it in the orange." ”

Lan Xun heard that it was from the capital, and when he came up to see it, he still didn't know him, but when he heard that he might know him, he still said happily: "Brother Yuan, take a closer look!"

At this time, for Lan Xun, in the case that the dream language cannot be found, what is more important than catching the live mouth is to have a "proper" statement that can be recognized by all parties.

Although he has always been reckless, influenced by his grandfather Song Song, his uncle Xiangshan, and his cousin Xiangmei, as well as his special identity, according to the current statement, he still has a strong political sensitivity, and when he saw the suspicious situation, he pretended to look at the corpse for a while, and pretended to try to recall, and then said:

"A few years ago, when I went to the capital, Zheng Zhu invited me to dinner, and it seemed that this person was present. But to be honest, I'm not sure how many years have passed, and how much he has been hurt on his face. ”

Zheng Zhu, the former military general of the capital of the orange capital, is the confidant of the second son, Basi'an, who has been killed by Ba Ping'an at this time.

When Lan Xun heard this, he thought to himself: "The remnants of Basi'an's party took revenge on Ba Ping'an's woman? ”

Park Yancang had noticed that the performance of the kite today was different from usual, and when he said this, I don't know what he meant, is it true or false?

At this moment, a person rushed to the fire and said, "It's on fire!"

Lan Xun and Park Yeon-cang exclaimed almost at the same time: "Where is the fire?"

"Around that hole!"

Pu Yancang said: "Why did it catch fire?"
