The night is dark and the wind is high, and the cool breeze blows through the mountains.

In the dark night, most of the people of Lantian County had already fallen asleep, Qin Huaidao quietly called Cheng Chumo and the three of them, and came to the roof to lie dormant under the cover of night, observing the surrounding situation.

Affected by the curfew, the surroundings were quiet, nothing happened, but the mountain breeze gradually cooled, which was quite a bit of a sleep-inducing meaning.

"Strange, are we thinking wrong?" Cheng Chumo stared at the city gate, the entire county was normal, and there was nothing terrible.

"That's not right." Qin Huaidao was keenly aware of something.

According to the general situation, when the people encounter disasters, they will only gather in the county and seek help from local officials, but not only did these displaced people not seek help from Lantian County, but even when they came, those displaced people fled to other places, and there was almost no news of the displaced people in the county.

This is information blocking, and the county order must know something.

The county seat, relative to the county people, is a safe area for the "mountain demon" matter, and the displaced people are either unwilling to enter, or unable to enter, in short, they maintain a relative isolation, so as long as they break through this isolation, they can get more effective information.

The city gate was closed, and the county lieutenant personally sent troops to guard it, for Qin Huaidao and a few people, it was not difficult to get out quietly, but this dress was too eye-catching, and he needed to change his clothes.

The observation was late at night, and there was no way to get more information when he went out of the city now, so Qin Huaidao asked a few people to return to rest, and then go outside the city the next day to see what was going on.

Day 2.

Lantian County is still as usual, all over the country in an orderly manner, except that people mention the word "mountain demon" from time to time, there is nothing special, the four of them first found a few families to change the clothes of ordinary people, and then retreated from the inn quietly left the city, squatting near the city gate and waiting, to see if anyone went out of the city at night.

At night, the city gates were closed, and the walking people either left Lantian County or found a place to stay, and after a period of noise, it gradually quieted down.

After waiting for another two hours, the people in the city should be completely asleep, and the four of them were a little sleepy except for Qin Huaidao.

Cheng Chumo didn't say anything, but Fang Yiai began to be a little suspicious, and he asked Qin Huaidao: "Maybe it's really the mountain demon who is haunting?" We've waited so long and found nothing, so maybe the prefectural order is really protecting these county citizens. ”

Qin Huaidao shook his head in denial of his thoughts.

"Brother Fang, look at the official road in Lantian County, there has been no rain in recent days, but the horseshoe prints on the official road are much more than in the past, and they are messy, indicating that there is a large group of people out of the city and more than once, just wait patiently, the other party will definitely appear."

As soon as the words fell, the gate of Lantian County was quietly opened, and there was a team of black-clothed cavalry wearing mountain demon masks standing in the city.

"This?" Fang Yiai felt incredible, this group of black-clothed cavalry obviously colluded with the city gate guards, otherwise they would not be so familiar, no, if they can use cavalry of this scale, I am afraid that the entire Lantian County Government will not be able to get rid of it.

"It was really said by Brother Qin, a cavalry of this size went out of the city late at night, I don't know where to go, what to do?" Luo Zhang was full of curiosity about the whereabouts of this group of cavalry.

"Just go along and have a look?" Qin Huaidao led the team and quietly followed.

Because it was late at night and the road was rough and it was inconvenient to walk, although this group of black-clothed cavalry rode at a much slower speed than in the daytime, and Qin Huaidao was already much stronger than ordinary soldiers, so it was easy to keep up with this group of cavalry by foot strength alone.

After another hour, the men in black finally stopped.

Qin Huaidao took Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai and Luo Zhang to observe on the tree, and found that the place where the black-clothed people in the distance intended to enter was a township they had passed by the day before, and if they followed here, even if they were stupid, they could think of the purpose of this group of black-clothed cavalry.

Cheng Chumo was shocked: "They actually want to arrest people? ”

Whether it is to arrest people or not, it still needs to be determined, Qin Huaidao motioned to the three of them not to move, only to see him bend down and sneak around, and quietly touched the vicinity of the black-clothed cavalry, due to the hurry, coupled with Qin Huaidao This is a modern reconnaissance method, these black-clothed cavalry did not find that anyone was approaching.

When he was less than three meters away from a black-clothed cavalryman, he suddenly grabbed the horse's belly and rode on the horse, covered the opponent's mouth with his hand and slashed him with a knife, turned sideways and got off the horse, and carried this person back to the woods where the people were lurking.

A few people who have seen Qin Huaidao's strength have long been accustomed to it.

Several people squirted a few mouthfuls of water at the person whose tail was tied to him, and when the black-clothed cavalryman had already woken up, he quickly pressed the other party's limbs and covered his mouth.

A dagger that was even colder than the cold night was tightly pressed against his neck, and Qin Huaidao threatened: "Don't shout, otherwise you will cut your neck, and if you are willing to cooperate, you will blink your eyes twice." ”

The cavalry quickly blinked twice in agreement.

Only then did a few people let go.

"Name, place of origin." Qin Huaidao asked coldly.

The black-clothed cavalry hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he asked a few people: "Who are you?" Do you know who sent me? How dare you spoil the good deeds of our mountain demon lord......"

Qin Huaidao exerted a little force, and the dagger cut a bloody mark on his neck.

"I'm a very talkative person, you can answer whatever I ask, otherwise it will be easy for us to kill you and catch another one, is it clear?"

The black-clothed cavalry nodded repeatedly, a little panicked.

He didn't expect the other party to dare to make such a ruthless move.

Seeing that the other party was much more honest, Qin Huaidao asked again: "Name, hometown." ”

The black-clothed cavalry said: "The person in Rongchuan, Xialantian County, is called the first day of junior high school." ”

"People from Gongchuan in Lantian County?" This place name is a little unfamiliar to Qin Huaidao, but for him, it is enough to confirm that the other party is from Lantian County, and he asked: "Are you from the Lantian County Government?" ”

When I saw through it at the first time, I was shocked at first, and then I realized: "Since you all know, I advise a few people to meddle in their affairs, behind the county commander is the important minister of the court, and if he is a good person, no one will have good fruit to eat." ”

"An important minister in the court?" Several people frowned and said, "Which important minister?" Let's talk about it first. ”

"Hmph," seeing that the names of the important ministers in the court frightened a few people, Chu Yi was even more convinced that the background of these people was not hard, and he shouted: "I don't know if the founding general Cheng Chumo has ever heard of it, it is the minister of Conglong who follows His Majesty the current emperor, and is a close friend of my county order, this matter is secretly acting on the order of General Cheng, and I advise a few acquaintances, otherwise don't blame Lord Yama for not caring about the faces of several people when he dies." ”

Originally, the four of them were still counting on digging up big fish, but when they heard Cheng Chumo's name, their bodies were stunned for a while.
