Chapter 20: The Breath Dog
On this side, after Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang had the map in their hands, they were overjoyed, high-fived each other, and screamed nonsense.
The two teenagers frolicked for a while, venting all the tension of these days.
On the other side, Tetsu Miyagi and his men returned to the barracks after receiving the military order from the mountain capital, and along the way, Tetsu Miyagi was always nervous.
After receiving the military report that Miyagi Zhe had lost Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang in the bamboo forest, Shandu Junfeng looked at the terrain in this area and found that this place was a place where several mountain peaks were connected, and it was impossible to round up with his troops, so he ordered all the teams to search for routes that had never been searched, and searched all the way back.
When Santo Junfeng summoned all the school officials who had gone into the mountain to search for him to return to his life, Miyagi Tetsu unsurprisingly saw Santo Junfeng's black face.
After almost all the people arrived, the first disposition of the mountain capital was to announce the punishment of Miyagi Tetsu: in order to punish Miyagi Tetsu for the crime of ineffective pursuit and excessive loss of soldiers, he was fined three months' military salary and twenty rods.
At this moment, Tetsu Miyagi's ass blossomed.
Listening to Miyagi Tetsu's screams, the school officials trembled in their hearts: no one wanted to fall into Miyagi Tetsu's situation, and they didn't dare to take this matter lightly.
The last school officer to report brought the last thing he wanted to hear.
When the captain returned, he passed by a small river and found an abandoned tent and the remains of corpses scattered around that had been eaten by wild beasts, and he brought back the blood-stained rags that looked like Shandu Deyun.
When Shandu Junfeng saw the bloody clothes, his heart ached and he was angry, and he roared "Ah", and smashed the table in front of him with one palm.
The rest of the room bowed their heads and didn't dare to make a sound.
After a while, the mountain capital Junfeng who came back to his senses, after all, is also a capital, and he has already understood: Miyagi Tetsu and his subordinates, the two Dayuan teenagers they met are likely to be the murderers of his precious son, and the young man with excellent archery skills may be the culprit.
Taking a breath and calming down, he said, "I must avenge Deyun! The two teenagers who were originally wanted to be captured by you, I am now sure that they are the murderers who killed Deyun." You give me a way to kill them!"
A younger officer spoke first: "Among the two Dayuan boys, one of them has outstanding archery skills, and among the people who pursue them, there must be archers with outstanding archery. lest your men suffer from ranged attacks when chasing them. ”
When the mountain capital heard it, it was reasonable.
Directly ordered: "You go and select twenty soldiers with excellent archery skills to listen to the order." ”
The school officer who received the order immediately responded: "Yes, all the capitals." ”
At this time, Mu Shi said: "Now that the people to be hunted down have been specified, it will be easy to do." We use hounds that can track their prey to find them, and then kill them to avenge the prince of Deyun. ”
Another officer asked, "How do you provide their breath to those hounds?"
Mu Shi said, "The young man who used the arrow, the arrow that was shot." ”
When Yamato Junfeng heard this, he felt that it was inappropriate, and he said, "Tetsu Miyagi has buried the dead sergeants under him. The soldier who was wounded by the arrow has already undergone wound treatment. Those arrows were filled with the breath of the blood of the person who was hit by the arrow, mixed with the breath of the soldier who helped to heal the wound. It is certainly not appropriate for a hound to look for someone with such an aura. ”
The school officer who made this suggestion listened, bowed his hand, and said, "All are wise." ”
Everyone in the room fell silent.
After a while, an older officer stepped forward. This person is Tetsu Miyagi's cousin, Miyagi Li. This Miyagi stood in front of the barracks, and he was a man who had traveled through the rivers and lakes and was well-informed.
He cleared his throat and said, "Please mourn." I thought of a solution, but it was very costly, and I don't know if I should talk about it?"
The mountain capital Junfeng was not verbose, and said directly: "Say".
Miyagi went on to say:
"When I used to go to the rivers and lakes, by chance, I heard that there is a place where you can rent a different kind of dog. As long as a person arrives at a place and touches something there, within three months, this dog can remember his breath and follow the breath to find the person. That is, people who have been to this place within three months, as long as they leave their breath, this dog can find these people one by one. ”
Many people in the room couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, and some people said in unison: "So powerful?!"
Miyagi was a little proud, paused, and then said: "To rent this dog, the price is very high, and you have to pay the rent first. And knowing that there is such a dog, they will only rent it as a last resort when they are restricted from investigating extremely important cases. ”
Shandu Junfeng hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miyagi Li, what price do you have to pay?"
Miyagi replied respectfully, "Some things that are extremely rare in the human world, such as elixirs, spiritual talents, pure gold and other heavenly treasures. If there is no these, at least a thousand taels of gold. ”
Everyone couldn't help but gasp again.
A younger-looking school official couldn't help but ask, "What is the elixir and the spiritual talent?" ”
Miyagi replied, "These are all for cultivators!"
The young officer obviously didn't know much about Xiuzhen. He asked again, "Who is the cultivator?"
Miyagi had no choice but to reply: "It's the immortal that we ordinary people call in their mouths." ”
Shandu Junfeng reacted at this time, his second son was an outer disciple in the Xuanyuan Sect. For what cultivators need, the mountain capital Junfeng knows.
And the reason why he got this job of guarding Qianye Town was the result of the planning of the Xuanyuan Sect where his second son was located, and another secret duty of the mountain capital Junfeng was to collect cultivation resources for the Xuanyuan Sect.
Because, in the mineral deposits of Bailong Mountain, there are often some rare ores that mortals don't know what to use and can't use, and these ores are often spiritual talents in the eyes of cultivators.
However, Shandu Junfeng did not dare to speak out at all about his secret duties.
Yamato Junfeng asked Miyagi Tatsu, "What kind of dog is that?"
Miyagi thought for a moment and replied uncertainly, "I remember that it seems to be called a spirit dog." ”
When he heard about it, he hadn't heard of it.
So he said to Miyagi: "You can do this." I'll give you twelve fast horses, and you'll bring back eleven of your men with a rental fee to rent a breath dog. I'm going to have those two boys dead without a place to be buried!"
Miyagi immediately gave a military salute and said, "Order." ”
But he was greatly surprised in his heart: it wouldn't be a resource for cultivators. After all, he is old and sophisticated, but his face does not show it at all.
Shandu Junfeng glanced at Miyagi Li, and seeing that his expression was as usual, he continued: "Your idea is good. After the matter is done, you can go home and save your relatives for three days. ”
Shandu Junfeng thought so in his heart: he just punished his cousin severely, this Miyagi has a good idea, and now he needs to bring the spiritual materials to rent the spirit dog back, give some benefits, let him try his best to do good things, and at the same time don't talk nonsense.
When Miyagi Li heard Shandu Junfeng's words, he was overjoyed, and he didn't dare to show a look of too much joy, so he said, "Xie Dutong." ”
On that side, in the military camp of the mountain capital, they were making plans and dispatching troops, preparing to hunt down and kill the two Dayuan teenagers.
On this side, Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang followed the route they found on the map and returned to the original cave.
On the way, because of the mountain capital Junfeng transferred back the soldiers who captured them, they did not meet the Dazhu soldiers. But it still took two days.
On the way, the two hunted a few small animals. I picked a lot of wild fruits. Thinking about preparing to end the day of eating and sleeping, the two were in a good mood.
In the Bailong Mountains in summer, the climate is unpredictable. Especially at night, sometimes there is a cold wind, sometimes it rains, sometimes it is worse, it is a downpour.
Therefore, it is not a comfortable thing to sleep in the Bailong Mountain.
Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang were tied to the other two horses at the foot of the mountain, but they were no longer there, and they didn't know where they had gone, and they felt a little pity.
After returning to the cave, the two of them no longer need to eat raw and cold food, and they can live a few more comfortable days.
In addition to practicing meditation and hunting, the two spent most of their time studying maps.
Because, they vaguely felt that the matter was not over, and the Dazhu soldiers who pursued them would make a comeback, and they needed to be fully prepared.
The two of them, who have been chased and killed twice, already know that the terrain, landform, and plant growth will all have an important impact on whether they can escape in the face of hunting and killing in the future.
After that, when they went out hunting, they would carefully observe the environment for places they had never been to, and keep in mind the landform, topography, and distribution of plants and trees.
When practicing meditation, we should be more serious and cherish time.
When he is not hunting during the day, Chen Tak often practices his archery skills with wooden arrows made from sharpened branches.
Because when he dealt with Miyagi Tetsu and his men last time, he shot twenty or thirty arrows, and there were not many arrows left. And the characteristics of his archery made him afraid to practice with real arrows.
Zhang Zhiliang practiced the basic knife technique that he was already very proficient in, and then practiced the basic movements such as chopping, chopping, stretching, teasing, and stabbing against the trees, which was more ruthless and serious than before.
When hunting, they try to catch as much prey as possible. I tried to make bacon from the uneaten animal meat according to the method of making bacon at home in my memory, and made fresh meat into bacon.
For this reason, the cave often gets thick smoke.
Although the bacon is not authentic, it can at least be kept for a few more days. In their plan, this is to prepare dry food for the ensuing crisis.
The chasing party is planning and preparing the personnel and equipment needed to go into the mountain to chase and kill, as well as the spirit dogs used for tracking.
The party being chased is also doing exercises and food preparation to escape the pursuit.
Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang, although neither of them said it explicitly, but these two teenagers who have already experienced a life and death crisis know very well in their hearts that they are about to face the test of life and death again.
Shandu Junfeng and his subordinates are waiting for the spirit rest dog rented from Dazhu.
The plan of Shandu Junfeng is: twenty excellent archers, assigned to ten squads, each squad of twenty people plus two archers, one of the main pursuit team carries the spirit dog to search, but also plays the role of driving away prey, and the other nine squads are distributed around the main pursuit team, searching and chasing area by area.
It's a two-pronged plan.
After Shandu Junfeng handed over the spiritual materials he had collected and obtained from the mines of Bailong Mountain to Miyagiri, Miyagi had been gone for more than ten days.
As soon as Miyagi returns, the ten squads that have been prepared for a long time will enter the mountain and start his revenge operation
