Shi Jingtian, who had not rested for two days and two nights, did not know when he fell asleep leaning on the stone wall on the side of the narrow road. When I opened my eyes dimly, it was almost ten o'clock in the middle of the day, the sun was very bright, and the birds and insects were constantly singing in the jungle, and the shadows cast by the mountains and giant trees on both sides covered the entire path.

What a nice weather, I really slept a little, but no news is the best news so far. Shi Jingtian stood up and slowly stretched his muscles, and a cyan embroidered coat slipped off his arm, and when he held it in his hand, he knew that it must have been put on by Aunt Lan for herself, and I don't know if Aunt Lan had a good rest yesterday.

"Wake up! The night breeze in the mountains is cold, don't sleep on the ground casually in the future!" Aunt Lan walked out of the walled gate, but with more concern in the reproach, "Come and eat, I'm waiting for you!"

Shi Jingtian agreed, ran a few steps and helped Aunt Lan to walk towards the stockade together.

The gate has been repaired and is as strong as before. The sentry at the gate and a few soldiers and villagers on the passage stood there observing the movement in the distance. Boulders and rolling logs were also piled up near the gate of the village, and Zhang Yong was lying on the side and falling asleep, probably he carried these here alone.

The villagers and soldiers were estimated to be resting in batches, and few people were not in sight. There are also several semi-open kitchens in front of them, with smoke curling from cooking.

"Auntie, we can't make a fire to cook!

Aunt Lan nodded and instructed the villagers to extinguish the kitchen fire. "It's not like everyone has been busy all day and night, cook some hot meals, and have a good meal!"

"When this incident is over, we can eat hot meals every day and live a peaceful life!" Shi Jingtian looked at the haggard and tired face of the eldest lady, and felt more self-blame in his heart, and there was another sentence that was to always be by your side, but he couldn't say it.

Walking into the room where Aunt Lan lived, the steaming meal had been placed on the table, Shi Jingtian was really hungry, and he sat down and ate in small bites, Aunt Lan looked at him lovingly on the side, picked up the wooden spoon in her hand, and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke!

During the meal, Dong Fei strode in, and he hadn't closed his eyes until now, for fear of any accident, his eyes were bloodshot, and he asked when he entered the room, "What's the matter, there's no movement at all at noon?"

"What's the matter!, Brother Dong is still looking forward to them coming?" Shi Jingtian asked with a smile, "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it a long time ago, you can eat it! Anyway, they have to come sooner or later, come early and deal with it early, waiting like this is like a fire in my heart, and it's hard to sit still!"

"What should come will always come!" Shi said firmly, "Brother Dong, you can rest first." I'm here, there's something calling you!"

"Hey, how can I sleep! Such a big thing, so many dawn people, how can I sleep peacefully without a settlement of things. After Dong Fei finished speaking, he turned around and strode towards the gate of the village.

"There are many good people like Commander Qianfu and Miss Yuan, kind-hearted and sensible, but how many of them can risk their lives for the sake of things that don't concern them at least now!" said Aunt Lan with a sigh as she watched Dong Fei stride away.

"Auntie, don't worry, good and evil will be rewarded in the end! The most anxious person now will definitely not be us!"

Indeed, as Shi Jingtian said, it is definitely not them who are most anxious. Yixiongzhuang is built on the mountain, surrounded by giant trees, even if the weather is hot, the mountain is still cool and breezy. And the soldiers at the entrance of Zicun Village were basking in the sun, but they were not so comfortable.

Especially Master Bai, when Liao Sha hurried to the City Lord's Mansion in the morning. Tell him that last night, Shi Hezhang Yong and others easily broke through Yixiongzhuang, captured Zhu Jiangping and a group of robbers, and hid in the mountains for fear of being discovered, so he ran back now.

Master Bai was furious when he heard this, and he wanted to delay and find a way to get Zhu Jiangping out, but he never sent troops, but he didn't expect that a thousand commanders didn't take his words to heart. The iron monkey is dead, and there is still room for relaxation in some things, but capturing Zhu Jiangping alive is worth it.

At that time, after a brief discussion with the anxious city lord, he transferred his troops, five hundred archers, five hundred sword soldiers, all riding fast horses and going straight to Zicun, these soldiers were enough to destroy Zicun and Dong Fei and his subordinates who dared to disobey.

But when it was close to noon, I was dumbfounded as soon as I arrived here, and the village was empty, and there was not even a single figure. After carefully inspecting again, he found that even many items were taken away together, and he must have thought that Jiuyao City would send troops, so he had already made plans to evacuate.

The hurried trip did not stop for a moment, the already hollowed out body against the sun, the always scheming Master Bai was dizzy, shaking a circle of mustache, and suddenly had no idea.

"Master, there are two or three hundred people in the sub-village, where else can you run to the relocation of the village? It must be hidden in a nearby village, why don't we search around!" A commander beside him said tentatively.

"That's right! Search around! They can't run far!" Master Bai sobered up a lot when he heard this, "The King Kong people are much taller than ordinary people, and they are easy to find in any village!"

"Order!"

The commander of the thousand commanders answered, and immediately sent several searching detachments, and rode fast horses to the villages on all sides, while the rest rested in place.

If these things leak out, then it's over, it's all over! Master Bai was secretly ruthless in his heart, dismounted and walked into a wooden house in Zicun, and the accompanying soldiers brought up water and food, and after eating some things, he felt that he had some strength in his body.

But there was no time to wait, and two hours passed in a blink of an eye. Master Bai couldn't sit still, and walked back and forth in the house. Several of the exploration teams came back, but they didn't find any trace of the villagers of Zicun and Dong Fei at all, and several teams were dispatched, but there was still no news.

The villages of nearly 100 miles nearby and the places where they could hide have been searched, but no one has been found, and no one has found any trace of leaving, how can there be none? Two or three hundred villagers, Dong Fei's 100 light cavalry, and the captured prisoners of Yixiongzhuang, even if so many people leave in the middle of the night, no one will find out, but how far can they go on foot!

Although the iron monkey is dead, it is possible that they already know some clues. It must be to dodge, is it going to the imperial city? Impossible, if the strong can insist on walking, but there are still those old and young women and children in Zicun, how can they go?

You must be calm, you must be calm, Master Bai secretly warned himself. They broke Yixiong Village, where can they go if they don't go back to Zi Village? Could it be that they didn't leave at all or went back and came back? Master Bai slapped his head violently, "It turns out that they are hiding there!"

Strode out of the wooden house and shouted, "All the soldiers are ready and go immediately!"

After a rapid march of about an hour, the sun was already a little westerly, leaning crookedly on the top of the mountain in the distance, and finally arrived in front of the mountain of Yixiongzhuang.

"Go, send someone to investigate first!" the master hurriedly ordered after getting out of the carriage.

A centurion who had come with his master yesterday walked towards the location of Yixiongzhuang in the mountains with a dozen people like a meritorious.

But this time I went and I didn't come back, and I didn't come back from the right. Master Bai had already realized something, and ordered the commander beside him to dismount, unsheath their swords, put their arrows on their bows, and walk cautiously towards Yixiongzhuang along the path between the jungles.

It was expected that even if Dong Fei resisted the order, there would be only a few hundred people and some villagers who could resist. I didn't encounter any ambushes or traps or anything like that, so I came to the front of Yixiongzhuang.

The quiet narrow road, the closed gate, and the sentry patrol passage on the gate, there is no one on the patrol passage. Didn't Liao Sha say that a strong man smashed the gate of the village! Master Bai came from behind and saw that they must be hiding here, repairing the corner of the gate and resisting stubbornly!

"Dong Fei, don't hide, I know you're inside. Disobeying military orders is not a capital crime, obediently open the gate of the village and draw a line with the mob, and you can make meritorious atonement and forgive you!"

"If you are stubborn and bewitched by the mob, don't blame me for not telling me about the past!"

"If you don't come out, nearly a thousand soldiers will let you die without a place to bury!"

shouted a few words inside one after another, not only did he not see a single figure, but he didn't even reply! Master Bai was anxious, "Attack me, don't leave a single one!"

"Up!"

With a wave of his hand, dozens of soldiers divided into two teams, holding long knives, bent down along both sides of the narrow path, and cautiously walked towards the gate of the village.

After walking a few steps, a rain of arrows came from the back, the soldiers blocked and retreated, and some people fell down with the wailing of arrows, dozens of people were forced back before they were halfway through, and several corpses were left in the middle of the path.

"Alas!" the commander sighed heavily, "Master, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we are all sword soldiers and archers, there are no shields and no siege equipment, such a narrow road, we can only line up to die when we go to thousands of troops!"

"Send it to death!? Even if you use a corpse, you have to line up the corpse at the gate of the village!" Master Bai yelled angrily, "What are you doing, send someone up!"

The commander has no choice, but he has been leading the troops for many years and knows some of the art of war!" The swordsmen marched in groups of four along the side of the narrow road. ”

Although there is a tall walled gate, it is impossible to shoot the people inside, but the suppression will always have an effect. Let the sword soldiers move forward in batches, and the casualties will be minimized, as long as they can break through the walled gate, everything will be easy to say.

Pieces of arrows rained down near the gate of the wall, one after the other, without any interval. In the dense aggressiveness, the gate and the sentry post on the gate were full of arrows, and the soldiers in a team of four marched towards the gate under the cover of the rain of arrows.
