Chapter 120: The First Faction in Zhongzhou

He wants to go to the Tiger Prison to find the white tiger, he wants to uncover the mystery of his life that has been sealed for many years, so he must find a way to survive, he has to abandon the fetters of the past, and completely bury all the feelings in his heart.

Ling Cang thought to himself, and unconsciously fell asleep

…………

I don't know how long it took, Ling Cang opened his eyes violently, in order to prevent sudden changes, he didn't fall asleep at first, but sat cross-legged on the bed, maintaining a light sleep,

It was still midnight and early morning, but Ling Cang didn't have the heart to sleep anymore, because according to the sound of the village not far from him, the sound of wolf dogs barking could be heard from time to time, and vaguely Ling Cang saw scattered torches scattered all over the village, and constantly approaching in the direction where he lived.

Obviously, someone had entered the village, and they surrounded the village and didn't know what they were searching for, but he had just checked in the village, and this group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared that night, Ling Cang didn't need to think about it to understand that this group of people was coming for him,

Ling Cang got up and got out of bed, quietly moved to the window, and looked at the movement outside the courtyard gate by the moonlight, he didn't shoot directly, because he was worried that he would surprise the snake and expose the target, so he wanted to observe the current form first, and then decide the next plan,

In the village, there was a constant knock on the courtyard door, followed by the sound of conversations between people interrogating the villagers, and Ling Cang couldn't hear what they were saying because they were too far away.

But through the scattered fires and the frequency of the courtyard door being knocked, he can probably judge the number of people, the other party is about 30 people, although there are a lot, but it is obvious that there is still a big difference compared with the two-way pursuit force led by General Qin, and according to the consistent style of the government, no matter when the officers and soldiers enter the village, they will force the villagers to the entrance of the village at the first time, and then interrogate and search one by one, so the officers and soldiers entering the village to take people will generally cause a great shock,

But this group of people is much quieter than the usual officers and soldiers, they do not disturb the people too much, and they will leave as soon as possible after knocking on the door and interrogating them, and will not disturb the rest of the villagers.

Ling Cang secretly guessed that these people might be a team split from the Second Route Pursuit Force, and they were in groups of dozens to investigate the nearby villages, and once they found his traces, they would send a signal to notify the large army to come as soon as possible.

And the reason why they didn't make a big deal about the arrest may be because they were worried that they would startle the snake, but ......, how could the speed of the officers and soldiers be so fast, as soon as he arrived on the front foot, the officers and soldiers came immediately, as if they had mastered his whereabouts in advance.

And according to common sense, it is generally impossible for the imperial court's army to march in the middle of the night, Ling Cang thought in his heart, and suddenly a bold idea popped up, this group of people may not be the pursuers sent by the imperial court,

At this moment, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard, and the person who came had already found the family where he was staying, and in the early hours of midnight, the owner had slept for a long time, and he had obviously not noticed that someone had come to the village to search at this time, and after a while he went to check the situation with sleepy eyes.

Ling Cang held his breath and condensed, wanting to see what was going on outside, as the courtyard door was opened, Ling Cang's heart sank, through the illumination of the firelight, he clearly saw the appearance of the person who came, there were a total of three people standing outside the courtyard gate, all wearing robes and holding blunt weapons, they were actually three warrior monks,

"Buddhism, how could they come here", Ling Cang said in a lost voice, he was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't figure out why the disciples of Buddhism suddenly appeared here at this time, and through their attire, he recognized these people as disciples of Shaolin, the largest sect in Zhongzhou,

The owner of the house was sleepy-eyed at first, and he didn't know why, but when he saw that the person who came was actually a Shaolin disciple, he instantly cheered up 12 points, and he looked at the three warrior monks and asked in some surprise,

"Three masters, you ...... Why did you come here so late, come, please come inside", the owner of the house respectfully said, Zhongzhou is the power of Buddhism, Shaolin is one of the best Buddhist sects in the Central Plains, and it has a high power among the people, so the local people show great respect for the Buddhist disciples,

"Amitabha, the poor monk thanked the donor, we were ordered by the master to come here to chase the great evil, for the devil of the common people, there is a labor donor bothered", the head of the warrior monk palms the salute, the whole body exudes the breath of the warrior who belongs to Buddhism,

Ling Cang listened quietly, observing every move outside the courtyard gate,

The master was also shocked when he heard this, he subconsciously looked around, and randomly looked at the warrior monk trembling and said, "Master, you, you mean...... There is a devil in our village",

The warrior didn't say a word, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the master's house and asked, "Dare to ask the donor, what suspicious people can be found in the village today?"

"Suspicious person", the master scratched his head, trying to recall the events of the last few days, but after thinking about it, he didn't find anything abnormal, if he had to say anything, it was nothing more than that Qiancheng sent someone to the villagers to issue a wanted document from the court for the winner's son, telling the villagers that once they found the winner's son's whereabouts, they must report it as soon as possible.

Win Wuxian colluded with Xirong to plot a rebellion and was given death by the emperor, his son escaped from the Tiger Prison Pass and his whereabouts are unknown, the court wanted this person for 16 years, and this matter is well known in Zhongzhou.

The villagers also heard that the son of the winner infiltrated Chang'an and poisoned the current King of Han, but the village has not found any suspicious people recently, how can the wanted criminals of the imperial court come to their place where birds don't,

The master thought in his heart, and immediately looked at the warrior and said, "Master, we haven't found any suspicious people in our village recently, everyone works at sunrise and rests at sunset, everything is quite normal."

Ling Cang was observing every move on the periphery by the window, and he was also relieved when he heard the master say this, he could now conclude that these Shaolin disciples were coming for him, maybe by chance, they happened to be in the village where he settled and rested, but anyway, when the master told them that the village had nothing abnormal recently, these Shaolin disciples should have left,

But things didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined, the three warriors glanced at each other after hearing the words of the master, and did not choose to leave at the first time.

The warrior monk at the head seemed to have mastered Ling Cang's whereabouts in advance, and looked at the latter and asked unwillingly, "Donor, we received an order from the master to rush over overnight, it stands to reason that the demon should be in your village now, you think carefully about whether there are any foreign cultivators recently."

When the master heard this, he thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something, isn't the person who came to his house today to collapse an outsider, but this person is indifferent and easy-going, and he doesn't look like a wanted criminal in the imperial court, so the master doesn't care, but if you think about it now, the characteristics of this person coincide with what the warrior described,

Oh my God, the one lying in this house can't really be a wanted criminal in the imperial court, the master was secretly frightened, thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at the warrior and replied, "Master, you wait a minute, I remembered, tonight Shenshi, there was a mysterious visitor who came to seek to collapse, I don't think he was like a bad guy and took him in, now I think about it, this person is likely to be the person the master is looking for",

The warriors glanced at each other, and the warrior monk led by him looked at the master and subconsciously asked, "What does this person look like, but there is anything suspicious?"

The master hurriedly said, "Back to the master's words, this person is carrying a sword, is a sword cultivator, today when he collapsed, he didn't say a word and directly gave me 5 taels of silver, told me that he left early tomorrow morning, I thought at first he was a person in the Daomen, and it was reasonable to be generous, but now I think about it, his actions are very suspicious, master, you think, no matter how rich you are, but who will give so much silver for no reason, this must be a ghost in your heart, and why should he be in such a hurry to enter the world to practice, there must be something abnormal in this",

The warrior's eyes were cold when he heard this, and he immediately looked at the latter and asked, "Where is that person now?"

The master hurriedly replied, "Master Hui, this person is in the side room of my house now, and his horse is still in the stable, he must not have noticed it now",

The warrior clasped his palms together and saluted, "Donor, I'm disturbed", his eyes were cold, and he immediately broke into the door and went straight to the position of the side room, and the other two warriors held blunt weapons, followed closely behind,

"It's broken" Ling Cang's heart tightened, hurriedly left the window, and walked towards the rear, there was no way back, at the last moment, Ling Cang found that there was a hole in the corner of the thatched roof, Ling Cang didn't have time to think about it and jumped up and drilled out of the only exit of the room,

At the same time, three warriors broke into the door, and the accompanying two walked towards the bed with blunt weapons, and when they approached, they found that there was no one on the bed, and even the bedding had no trace of passing.

"Search, find out the devil" The warrior monk led by him also found this sign, and immediately commanded the two,

The two searched around, but found no trace of the winner's son, and one of them reported to the warrior led by him, "Senior brother, there is no one, could it be that he has escaped?"

At this moment, the main family also walked in, and when he saw that there was no one in the room, he was immediately stunned, "Strange, he was obviously in this room before, I saw him live in it with my own eyes, how could it be gone now", the master said suspiciously, and his face was also full of incredulity at the moment,

The warrior monk at the head had a gloomy face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this moment, one of the accompanying warriors pointed to the thatched roof and said, "Senior brother, look at that",

The warrior looked up and "saw that in the inconspicuous corner of the roof, there was a hole that was not big or small, just enough to accommodate one person to pass through, the warrior's eyes were cold, he jumped up, jumped up along the loophole of the roof, the warrior stood on the roof and watched, but there was no trace of the winner's son in all directions,

At the same time, the two warrior monks who accompanied him also jumped up and stood on the roof,

One of them looked at the warrior monk led by him and asked, "Senior brother, that thief must have escaped by following this loophole, what should we do now?"

The martial artist's eyes were cold, he didn't answer his junior brother's words, but looked ahead and muttered, "The master has calculated that this person will definitely become the number one devil in the world in the future, bringing endless calamities to Li Min's life, and the Tang Dynasty will also be under the shock of this person and will never recover, if we can't take down this demon today, then the world will have to bear the endless calamities he brings in the future."

The warrior's face was gloomy, and he looked at the two of them at random, and ordered in a deep voice, "Inform all the senior brothers, block the village, and be sure to surround him here today."
