Chapter 145: Discovered
This is also the reason why he chose to go west. The terrain on the east road of Xianling Village is too flat, and they are still carrying heavy objects such as carriages, so they will definitely not be able to outrun the rebels; As long as you take the right time to go west, you may be able to go down the mountain without danger.
As soon as the words fell, two bandits rushed over, holding a human head in their hands: "General, we searched the woods on the side of the road in Xishan and found that a person was beheaded and died there alone. We brought his stuff back. ”
The head grinned and was covered with grass and mud, but Wu Shaoyi took it and took a look, and someone on the side shouted: "Liu Monkey!" This is General Pei's scout Liu Monkey, we have drunk twice in Woling Pass, and he paid the bill! ”
Without waiting for others to speak, He Lingchuan immediately said: "Our officers and soldiers do not have the habit of beheading people, this must be the hand of the thief." ”
"Probably Pei Xinyong sent him over to inquire about intelligence. If he was killed by the thief, then the thief would probably have also obtained information about Lao Pei. Wu Shaoyi looked at the mountain bandits, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”
The man hurriedly handed it forward: "It seems to be a trap bird." Liu Monkey died on the ground, and I found it in the treetops above his head. ”
He Lingchuan had long heard that there were puppeteers in this world, and the puppeteers could make the mechanisms they made move in various ways. But this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. The trap bird in the bandit's hand is the same size as a real pigeon, dark gray in color, and unobtrusive, which is very close to its function.
"This man was most likely found while he was tinkering with birds in a tree. Lu Yao beheaded him, but he didn't notice that there was a trap bird in the treetops above his head. ”
Wu Shaoyi took the trap bird and flipped it over and over to check, and then opened the belly of the trap bird, and there was a dark compartment inside, which was empty. But his serious face finally showed a smile: "God help me." This spy wants to send information, and most of the birds can fly directly to Lao Pei. ”
Lian Deng slapped his face: "Yes, let's ask the organ bird to send a message to General Pei, isn't this contact?" ”
Time was pressing, the bandits took paper and pencils, Wu Shaoyi did it in one go, dropped dozens of big characters, and then folded the note, stuffed it into the stomach of the trap bird, and then patted it on the head: "Go find Pei Xinyong." ”
The bird flapped its wings and purred, and flew into the sky like a real bird and headed west.
"Let's go." He Lingchuan stood up, "Without further ado." "He's already used up too much time in the Fairy Spirit Village.
The mermaids climbed onto the crocodile's back, and the giant crocodile moved a few steps and entered the water gracefully. Such a heavy body, but not even a splash.
Although it is full of humans, several crocodile demons have infinite power, and they seem to be able to move easily, but the speed has not slowed down much.
The people sat on the backs of these ancient beasts, and at first they trembled, but after walking for a while, they found that they were more stable than the ships, and when they closed their eyes, they could not even feel that they were sailing on the water, and their hearts were settled.
The giant crocodile carried the people to the west, and the water was open, and they could walk in a straight line, not like the winding mountain roads on land.
At this time, in late autumn, the maple leaves on the shore of the lake are red, and the mountains are sprinkled with golden wisps, which is not all magnificent and solemn.
The river breeze was blowing, He Lingchuan stood at the head of the crocodile and took a breath, his lungs were cold.
Riding a giant crocodile more than five feet long, he traveled between the mountains and rivers, and followed a group of bandits to the battlefield. Half a year ago, this was something he dared to imagine?
¥¥¥¥¥
Lu Yao hurried on the West Road.
He was in a hurry, and the mount made several turns and almost stepped into the air, and kicked a lot of rocks to the bottom of the cliff, and it took a long time to hear an echo.
He is not afraid, but his bandits are afraid. With such a mountain road with nine turns and eighty-eight bends, is it too slow to die for horses?
But no one dared to squeak.
After passing through Whistle Rock before, Lu Yao made a special detour to see it.
It was a mess of battles, and there was blood on the bark and blades of grass.
There were dozens of corpses on the ground, some killed by arrows and some hacked to death.
These are his men! The more Lu Yao looked at it, the more hideous his face became, and finally he looked up to the sky and roared:
"Pei Xinyong, you stupid donkey!"
Wu Shaoyi's subordinates, who were newly recruited, explained to him the reason why Wu and Pei suddenly defected on the way.
It's really a discordant plan made by the dog official surnamed He!
No wonder he was chatting with himself last night drinking and eating fish, and he was very attentive, and he originally wanted Wu Pei's spies to come over and catch him.
These two fools really jumped into the trap of surnamed He without hesitation.
The good tripartite division was stirred up like this.
When he saw the corpses of his men on the mountain road again, he calmed down, and just smiled cruelly:
"Doesn't He Chunhua's dog official like to eat grilled fish? When I caught him, I would put his family in front of him, roast the cut meat and stuff it for him to eat! Hey, eat until he's alive! He swallowed a few times.
At that moment, the sky roared.
Lu Yao raised his hand, and a red-tailed peregrine falcon landed on his arm, and he said, "The convoy of officers and soldiers is thirty miles ahead of you, but the mountain road is tortuous, and it may take you more time to catch up!" ”
"What about Pei Xinyong?"
"He stayed in Mapo and did not move for the time being." The kestrel added, "Our men have crossed Zhumapo and retreated to Victory Town. ”
"A bunch of rubbish!" Lu Yao snorted and said to the kestrel, "You can go again in a while, and urge all the centaurs in Victory Town to come here." ”
"They are afraid of Pei Xinyong."
"As soon as Wu Shaoyi died, Lao Pei didn't dare to go against me!" Lu Yao smiled, "Sooner or later, he will have to turn around." ”
He fed the kestrel a few pieces of meat and was about to let it go.
The kestrel suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "By the way, I passed by the lake on the way back and saw something unusual in the twin fjords. Those crocodile demons were loaded with people on their backs and walked west. ”
"Crocodile? Manned? Lu Yao was taken aback. He knew the temper of the crocodile god, cold and ruthless. Don't look at how many times the two sides have cooperated, now he goes to the crocodile god, and if he doesn't pay enough, the other party doesn't even mind eating him. "Who did the crocodile god carry?"
Who can make the crocodile god automatically reduce to a vehicle and obediently carry people?
"Wu Shaoyi." Kestrels' voices are lower.
Lu Yao waved back the bandits behind him, rode his horse and walked a few steps forward before staring at the kestrel and said, "What's the matter, why is he still alive?" "Wasn't Wu injured by a crocodile, how can he still ride on a crocodile's back now?
While his heart was in turmoil, he didn't forget to distance himself from his subordinates. Many bandits here have switched to him from Wu Shaoyi's command, and if they hear that the old master is still alive, I don't know if there will be another change.
If Wu Shaoyi is still alive, it is the biggest unstable factor, and he is a little worried.
"I don't know, but he brought more than 200 of his men, both by crocodile and by boat."
