Text Chapter 184 Amazing associations
Just as Shi Jingtian thought, Yixiongzhuang was built in the middle of two mountains, both sides are cliffs, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in addition to the walled gate, there is only one passage to escape. The road behind the mountain has to pass through two mountains, and it is impossible to go out for half an hour.
At this moment, Zhu Jiangping hated his parents for not giving him a few more legs, and ran desperately on the mountain road behind the village. There were twenty or thirty minions behind him, in addition to those who were injured and thrown away, and those who stayed in the gate to buy time for their escape, and there were only a few people left.
Seeing the strong skills of the stone and the courage of Zhang Yong, Zhu Jiangping was already afraid when he saw them chasing here. Thinking that there is Liao Sha's hidden weapon, how can the village be difficult to attack, how can it support until dark, and flee as soon as it gets dark.
Who would have thought that Zhang Yong would swagger over with a tree shield, and Liao Sha wanted to put a hidden weapon to obstruct it, but she was also frightened by the arrows and didn't dare to show her head. Even the falling boulder couldn't stop the fierce god-like Zhang Yong, Zhu Jiangping didn't even think about turning his head with Liao Sha and ran away. Think about how it is also a village of hundreds of people, the iron monkey died overnight, and there are only a few minions left around.
Fortunately, it is already dark, and I can still live if I dodge tonight. It's a big deal to put all the blame on the iron monkey, and it can be regarded as an explanation when he returns to the Black Lotus Society, Zhu Jiangping thought so, carrying a big knife, but his steps were faster, and he desperately fled like a rabbit in the dense forest.
"Stop!"
There was a sudden roar behind him, and the frightened birds in the forest that were just about to perch fluttered their wings and flew into the sky, and Zhu Jiangping and the minions who were even more shocked were in a cold sweat, and their feet were so soft that they almost fell to the ground.
Turning his head, a tall and fat giant man flashed out of the dense forest, chasing after him viciously, his bright head was reflected in the dark night, and he pointed at Zhu Jiangping with a big finger, and shouted again, "If you run again, I will smash your legs!"
Seeing that it was Zhang Yong, who had been the number one killer on the list, how could Zhu Jiangping dare to fight, and when he saw Liao Sha, who ran out with him, had long since disappeared, and his minions were also afraid, he couldn't run if he wanted to, and he was even more self-defeating if he wanted to fight.
When I raised my eyes, I saw a figure flying out of the canopy, crossing Zhang Yong's tall body like a greenhouse spreading its wings, and landed firmly in front of Zhang Yong with both hands, and then slowly stood up, "Zhu Jiangping, if you are captured, you can still be let live!"
"Up, up!" Zhu Jiangping pushed the trembling subordinates around him in a panic, even if he could resist it, he might be able to escape by taking advantage of the night.
The fire in the jungle was lit, Dong Fei and the light cavalry rushed to the regiment to surround a group of robbers, the soldiers held a big knife in one hand, and a torch in the other, illuminating the surroundings, and the archers on the periphery were ready to shoot them into hedgehogs just waiting for an order.
"Resistant, shoot and kill!"
Dong Fei shouted angrily, seeing that there was no hope of escape, all the robbers put down their weapons one after another, and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands. Zhu Jiangping also knew that there was no hope of escaping, but he was unwilling to be captured like this, so he shook his knife and shouted in fear, "Come on, come on, Lao Tzu will fight to the death with you!"
Shi Jingtian took a step forward indifferently, and Zhu Jiangping raised his big knife with a look of fighting to the end. I took two more steps forward, and the big sword dance was even more whirring. When Shi Jingtian was still a few steps away from Zhu Jiangping, Zhu Jiangping's face changed drastically, he threw away the big knife with a snap, and knelt on the ground with his head upside down, "Please, don't kill me, I was also forced, I will tell you anything I want to know!"
"Hmph!" Dong Fei sneered, waved his hand, and the soldiers stepped forward and tied up the bandits, put knives around their necks, and escorted them back.
Zhu Jiangping was lucky not to be tied with his hands behind his back, and the knife was on his neck, but it was Zhang Yong who was guarding him, holding his collar with one hand, as easy as grasping a chicken, and his feet were hanging in the air and walking around, so that he didn't even have the heart to find a way to escape.
The group returned to Yixiongzhuang, and Dong Fei counted it. There were no casualties on their side, and there were more than 50 wounded and thrown down in the stockade, about 20 dead and wounded, and more than 30 people who escaped and were captured. Except for the 200 people who went out of the mountain twice and were exterminated, there were more than 300 robbers in the entire village.
In addition to the robbers, there were more than a dozen women who had been taken up the mountain, and more than 20 young men who had been imprisoned had haggard faces, and were supposed to be sent to be sent for some kind of live experiment. In addition, there are dozens of horses, a pile of various weapons, and three chests of gold, silver and jewelry.
"This is really a big victory!" Dong Fei smiled and patted Shi Shi on the shoulder.
Shi Jingtian sighed, "It's a pity, the treacherous Ji Liaosha let her run away!"
"Hmph, I don't believe how far she can run, isn't it the same if she catches Zhu Jiangping!"
"It's getting dark, let's go back to Zicun as soon as possible, and it's important to interrogate Zhu Jiangping to find evidence!"
"Yes, let's go back first!" Dong Fei shouted loudly, "Load all the seized things into the carriage, let those women and the people who were imprisoned also get on the horses, take care of the prisoners, and we will go back to Zi Village!"
The robbers were exterminated, and every soldier from the common people had a smile on his face, and the carriage was set up in an orderly manner, and the women and the wounded robbers were lifted into the carriage respectively. The rest of the men pressed the captives and walked out of the mountain along a narrow road just big enough to cross the carriage.
It took only an hour from Zicun to Yixiongzhuang, but it was much slower to go back, and it took more than two hours to see the bonfire lit in the center of Zicun.
Before arriving in front of the village, Shi Jingtian saw at a glance that Aunt Lan was eagerly looking over here under Yuan Yue's support, and when he saw Shi Jingtian and Zhang Yong, as well as the figures of the soldiers, he put his heart back into his stomach.
"Auntie, we destroyed Yixiongzhuang and came back safe and sound!" Shi Jingtian jumped off the horse and came to Aunt Lan's side. "There is something urgent, I will let them go to the imperial city to help me deliver the letter, and they will be back in two days at most!"
"Okay, okay, let's settle down and go to dinner. Auntie knows that you will come back safe and sound, and she has already prepared a meal waiting for you!" Lady Lan smiled kindly, and gently patted the dust on Shi Jingtian's body, just like her own child.
"Yo! It's really good, I caught so many robbers and came back, and there are horses and weapons or something, are those big boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry?" Yuan Yue looked back, although he felt that the stone had a wooden face, but he really had some means.
"Well, in addition to these, there are also people who have been taken and detained in the carriage, some of whom are not in good health and need to be taken care of. There is Miss Lao Yuan for these, and I will eat it later, I have to judge Zhu Jiangping first!"
"Hey, since you left, my aunt has been eating food, and I'm standing here waiting for you as soon as it's dark, so why don't you eat some food when you come back!"
"It's a big thing, it's a big thing, I'll let someone bring it to you in a while!" Of course, Aunt Lan knows which is more important.
It was still the house where the sundries were piled up, the main thing was that the house was bigger, Zhang Yong walked in with the stone, stretched out his hand and threw Zhu Jiangping on a pile of weeds, followed him to the ground, grabbed Zhu Jiangping's neck with his big hand, and pressed his head to the ground.
Zhu Jiangping sighed twice, his whole body couldn't move, and his face on the ground was deformed, but he still squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Tap, tap, ask me anything, as long as I stay alive!"
Shi Jingtian motioned to Zhang Yong to be a little stronger, but don't be like an iron monkey, he will die if he dies before he finishes asking. Zhang Yong willingly received two points of strength, and Zhu Jiangping was a little better.
"I know how the iron monkey died! It's because he doesn't tell the truth, and I twisted his neck with a little force!"
Zhang Yong's threat did work, and the iron monkey specified that he was dead. Zhu Jiangping is also greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise he would not be as willing as the iron monkey to be a black lotus and a slave to a dog, and his head is like a chicken pecking rice.
"Say, what kind of test is your abduction of the strong and the strong, and what is your premeditation? And where are these innocent people sent? Who is behind all this?"
Faced with the murderous questioning of the stone, Zhu Jiangping knew that the iron monkey must have told the stone everything he knew before he died, and if he concealed it, there was only a dead end.
"That's... That experiment was to use drugs to turn ordinary people into killing machines, and the success rate was probably very low, so the iron monkey kept catching people everywhere. None of this really has anything to do with me, though. Zhu Jiangping paused for a moment before continuing, "The Black Lotus will let the Iron Monkey send the captured people to the City Lord's Mansion, as for who is manipulating behind the scenes, what the conspiracy is, I really don't know!"
"I don't know?" Shi Jingtian's face turned even colder.
Zhang Yong's big hand was forced, Zhu Jiangping couldn't even breathe, and shouted desperately, "We... We were all poisoned, just... I had to... True... I don't know!"
It's the same thing as what the iron monkey said, Black Lotus will be so frustrated, and use poisoning to win over people, which shows that it is ruthless and cunning, something like this may not be told to anyone at all, the iron monkey doesn't know, and it's inevitable that Zhu Jiangping doesn't know.
"How did you join the Black Lotus Society?" Shi asked with a twisted mind.
Zhang Yong's big hand loosened, Zhu Jiangping took a breath and hurriedly replied, "It's Zong Nan, the tenth of the top ten killers, the Demon Breaker Scissors Zong Nan, he pulled us together and secretly poisoned us, if we don't do anything, we will die."
Zong Nan! Shi Jingtian frowned, when he first met Qin'er by chance, it was Zong Nan who intercepted Qin'er halfway, and fled in panic after being rescued by himself. Then, while the Green Lotus conspired to subvert the Sword Pavilion, he also sent Zong Nan to the Wuling Mountain, where there was no master in charge, and at the same time severely damaged the top of the two major cultivations.
Now it's Zong Nan who is helping the Black Lotus Society to go around and pull people around to do evil, could it be that since the end of the Sword Pavilion War, the death of Green Lotus has not been able to end that conspiracy! Green Lotus! Black Lotus Society! Shi was shocked, the lotus lotus leaf is one, and with the connection between Zong Nan, is the Black Lotus Society really the remnants of Green Lotus after his death!
