Chapter 57: Encirclement and Suppression
The verdant broad-leaved trees of the mountains were tumbling and jumping before the wind, and the hunting sound was like a huge mighty bobcat, which raised its back, and the chickadees were swept away by the wind, turning into flying black spots. On the steep hanging bank, the clumps of slender thatch also fluttered and shook like countless spears and spears raised high.
In this dense forest, there is a team of dozens of people lurking.
They were the group of gray-clothed masked people who attacked Cheng Mansion for the thousand-year-old blood ginseng, and these people had been staying here since they entered the mountains and forests, and there was no other movement except for some people sent out to inquire about the news.
The man at the head was a tall man, and his face was unusual, but the skin between the back of his head and neck had a strange maroon color, and it was tightly wrinkled, like a few thin rivers whimpering on the mud.
This is the trace that Guan Wei accidentally left when he was practicing. Although the appearance is relatively ugly, it has a great reputation among the horse thieves in Taichong County.
At this moment, they had cleared the vicinity of this place, and there was nothing left to ignite the fire, so they reassured themselves to barbecue the prey they had caught in the jungle.
However, Guan Wei's mind was obviously not on it, he gnawed off a roasted golden rabbit leg, threw the branch away, and said, "Tongtou and a few of them have been gone for three days, why haven't they come back, where have they all died?"
One of his subordinates hurriedly came up and said, "Captain Guan, the county town must be in a lot of chaos because of our trouble, and if you want to inquire about things at this time, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Besides, the copperheads are not familiar with their lives, so it would be good to be able to reply to you in four or five days. ”
Guan Wei nodded slightly, although his temper was short-tempered, he was not an unreasonable person.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "They won't be in any danger." ”
The other person hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's not the first time that they have done this, and with their strength, even if they are discovered, it is not like having fun to escape." As long as the copperhead doesn't drain the strength in the kiln when they inquire about the news, then it will definitely be fine. ”
Everyone laughed at the same time, and after hearing this parable, their hearts itched, and they longed to replace him.
Guan Wei's face also showed a knowing lewd smile, but he said: "Those guys, if they miss the master's big event, see if the master will not pull out their skin." ”
They did have great confidence in their partners, not to mention the government of a small place in Taicang County, even if they were the officials who were on errand in Linlang County, there were not many cultivators who had the internal strength to cultivate to the fifth level. And the strength of the copper head is the fifth layer of internal strength, and the copper head is a cultivator of the seventh layer of internal strength, so naturally he will not take the officials here in his eyes.
However, these red turban thieves who are rampant and domineering in Taichong County do not know that Taicang County is different from their hometown, here, the Cheng family is the official family, in order to avenge the family, everyone is doing their best, not daring to be a little negligent, and because they know that the strength of this group of people is extraordinary, the Cheng family has already prepared a reserve, so they can capture the people sent out by Guan Wei to find out the news.
It's just that when it happened in the county, they didn't know about it, so they were able to be so comfortable at this time.
In the distance, a horse thief shouted and cursed, and his voice was filled with a sense of impatience.
Guan Wei glanced in that direction, and the quicker person beside him immediately ran over, and after a while, the man returned and said, "Captain, after the two five-person teams in charge of hunting went out today, they haven't come back yet, so Brother Ma is angry there." ”
Guan Wei suddenly raised his head, his eyes became extremely sharp in an instant, and he asked in a deep voice: "Two teams, none of them came back?"
"yes. The man was startled and hurriedly said.
Guan Wei's face became more and more gloomy, after all, he was a master of the ninth layer of internal strength, and he was also a horse thief leader who had experienced many lives and deaths, at this moment, he finally felt that something was wrong.
Looking around, the gloomy forest seemed to bring him a dangerous aura.
"Order, pack up, let's go at once. ”
The people around him were puzzled, but at this moment, they heard a loud laugh in the dense forest.
"Where else do you want to go? ”
The voice did not sound in one place, but seemed to be floating in the dense forest, as if a person was running around as fast as he could.
The next moment, the sound of drawing the sword suddenly sounded among the horse thieves, and although the horse thieves were extremely afraid of this unfathomable voice, no one panicked.
The horse thieves who have been trained between life and death have a stable mentality that is far from what ordinary people can imagine.
Guan Wei's eyes flickered, he was secretly shocked in his heart, suddenly snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and a cold light had already shot out from his hand like lightning, flying towards a big tree.
"Boom ......"
A small fly fell to the ground, as if it had hit some kind of steel, making a crunch.
Guan Wei said coldly: "Who is the master, he is pretending to be a ghost here, and those who worship ghosts are not afraid of losing face." ”
"Of course I'm not afraid. The man did not come out, but still hid behind the big tree, and said, "If you want to say that ghosts and ghosts are worshipped, who is more ghostly than masked robbery at night." ”
Guan Wei's face changed slightly, his eyebrows raised, and he said, "Cheng family?"
After saying these two words, his ears suddenly twitched a few times, and he said suddenly: "It's not good, people are rushing here, everyone go quickly." ”
Dozens of people immediately picked up their blades and rushed towards the pre-prepared road. In this case, no one even went to pick up the debris on the ground, which shows that this is not the first time that these people have done this kind of thing.
Two figures suddenly appeared from behind the big tree, one was naturally Cheng Jiahui, and the other was He Quanxin.
After they appeared, they immediately rushed towards Guan Wei.
Guan Wei sneered, and with a movement in his hand, a big knife suddenly appeared in his hand. Although this broadsword is far less exaggerated than He Wude's long-handled broadsword, it is also a few inches thick and nearly a meter long.
Cheng Jiahui's figure stopped suddenly, but He Quanxin shook his hand in the same way, and a red tassel gun wrapped around it like a poisonous snake out of a hole.
These two masters have the ninth layer of internal strength cultivation, although He Quanxin's strength is a little smarter, but Guan Wei is a horse thief, there is a crazy momentum between the shots, just fighting, as if he has a grudge against He Quanxin to kill his father and take his wife, the knife is desperate, and the soul is snatched.
Under this almost scoundrel style of play, even He Quanxin was also restrained, and he was already at a disadvantage in a moment.
Cheng Jiahui did not step forward, but staggered the battle group, wanting to pursue those ordinary horse thieves. But the other horse thief was entangled in his body, his strength was only the seventh layer of cultivation, but the big knife in his hand was wielded, but it had the same purpose as Guan Wei, and he was desperate, like a shrew, so that Cheng Jiahui, who was arrogant and expensive, did not dare to touch it at all.
After the four of them fought for a while, countless footsteps came from the direction where they appeared, and the reinforcements from the Cheng family finally arrived.
At this moment, Guan Wei and the other horse thief let out a long laugh at the same time, and with a slow knife momentum, they had already withdrawn and chased towards their companions.
These two people have been actively attacking, so they can evacuate at any time without fear.
However, they didn't find that although He Quanxin and Cheng Jiahui were shouting in their mouths, they didn't really sacrifice their lives to intercept them, but they just looked at their backs with a look of mockery.
Then, the two of them rushed up without hurry.
Guan Wei and the others left quickly, and after rushing for a while, they suddenly heard a fierce scream from the front, and they knew from the sound that many of them were sent by the brothers who were with them.
The two of them were in a hurry, and they hurried away. When they rushed to the front, their eyes couldn't help but split.
The more than 40 people who went first had already lay down in the edge of the dense forest. In the midst of the lying crowd, there were several crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies.
Obviously, someone has been hiding here for a long time, waiting for them to take the bait.
As soon as his mind turned, Guan Wei immediately understood who had leaked the matter they had left behind: "Copper head, in your hands. ”
An old man with white hair walked out calmly from the trees in front of him, and this old man was Cheng Ningsheng, the owner of the Cheng family.
The old man looked at Guan Wei, his eyes unabashedly revealed a thick murderous intention, and said: "Yes, although the copper head is very hard, but the old man's hands are harder, when the old man crushed all the bones in his body, he just knows everything, and he has no end to words." ”
Cheng Ningsheng's words were plain, as if he was catching up with an old friend, but when he touched the old man's gaze, Guan Wei's heart was faintly cold.
A hint of regret suddenly appeared in his heart, it could be that he underestimated the family here too much.
Cheng Ningsheng stretched out his hands, and in his hands, there was a cane made of stainless steel, and said loudly: "Mr. Guan, the last battle was not fun, now let's compete again." ”
As soon as his words fell, hundreds of people rushed out from behind him, and as soon as he saw the movements of these people, Guan Wei's heart sank.
Among these people, there is no shortage of masters who have reached the seventh or eighth level of internal strength.
It can be seen that in order to seek revenge on them, the entire Cheng family has already poured out of their pockets!
