Chapter 270 - The Cave in the Forest

"The implication of Yun Gongzi's words is that those bandits are originally from the Jin Kingdom, so where to start." Gu Xiao had never set foot in the court, so he naturally didn't understand this, so he opened his mouth in surprise.

Qi Tao knew that if he wanted to subdue the young man, he needed to make them admire him before he could devote himself wholeheartedly, just like Yan Ruohai was taken under his father's command back then, so he patiently explained to the young man: "Three points before the world, they were all surnamed Zhao Ye, and they were all courtiers of Zhao State, maybe... These people were originally Jin people before they were loyal to me Qi Yun. ”

Before the world was divided into three points, it was all Zhao Tu, and then the Shenzhou Rebellion, the world was divided into three parts, Gu Xiao naturally knew, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew the meaning of Yun Gongzi's words, above the Qiyun court, is there still a spy planted by the Jin Kingdom.

After thinking about it again, he was shocked, and then he remembered General Wan who had been dismissed from the army, and hurriedly said: "Could it be that General Wan he..."

Seeing Yun Gongzi shaking his head gently, Gu Xiao was relieved, he didn't want to hear from Yun Gongzi's mouth, the general of Qiyun's northern border who had guarded the border for Qi Yun for many years, and the people who were saved by Brother Tianya and other ink masters with their lives were the spies planted in Qi Yun by the Northern Jin Dynasty... Since General Wan was innocent, why was he escorted to Beijing, Gu Xiao was even more puzzled, so he had to ask Yun Gongzi for advice.

"As Brother Yun said, General Wan is not a spy planted in my Qiyun by Jin, but why was he robbed of military power and escorted to Beijing, and I also ask Gongzi Yun to solve his doubts."

Qi Tao sighed slightly and said: "Brother Mu, this officialdom is not a river and lake, it involves a wide range of things, and if you make a wrong step, it will be an abyss. ”

Gu Xiao had already heard the meaning of the words from the few words from Yun Gongzi's mouth, and couldn't help but say secretly, sure enough, when General Wan was in Lingzhou, he already knew his own situation, and in desperation, he entrusted himself with the matter of taking care of the Yanbei defense map.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao immediately felt that there seemed to be a thousand catties of heavy burden on his shoulders, and he felt that General Wan entrusted him with this time, not only entrusting the defense map of Yanbei in his own hands, but also entrusting the lives of thousands of people and soldiers in the northern border of Qiyun to himself.

"Brother Wood... Wood Brothers! ”

Qi Tao saw that Wan Jun was mentioned, and the eyes of the young man beside him flickered, as if he remembered something, and called softly. At the same time, he secretly said in his heart, could this young man have anything to do with Wan Jun, but he turned his mind and dispelled this thought, the identities of these two people are different, where will there be any intersection, only that Wan Jun has been in the northern border of Qiyun for many years, and this young man, like other people, is grateful for the suffering of Wan Jun.

"Ah, it's rude, Brother Yun." Gu Xiao saw that this Yun Gongzi had a pair of bright eyes, although his eyes were soft, but he could see through the light of people's hearts, he hurriedly gathered his mind, secretly made up his mind in his heart, and temporarily concealed the matter of General Xia Wan entrusting Yanbei to deploy defense maps.

Just when Gu Xiao and Qi Tao were in the hall figuring out each other's thoughts, Mo Ti had already walked out of the back hall, until they were next to the two, bowed to Qi Tao, respectfully handed over the things in their hands to Gu Xiao and the two of them and said: "My Mojun back mountain, connected to the Yanbei Mountain, which has a lot of miasma, so the people of Mojun crush the herbs and put them in the mezzanine to make a face towel. ”

Hearing this, Gu Xiao and the others carefully put their face towels into their arms, and the three of them immediately left the county guard division and rode to the mountains behind Mojun.

——

At this time, in the mountains of Mojun in Yanbei, a group of eight people, riding slowly, the leader of the face is fierce, with a heavy single knife on his waist, saying that it is a single knife, but the back of the knife with two fingers wide, and the posture of sitting down on the horse and struggling to move forward, has shown the heaviness of this knife.

The seven people behind him followed closely, different from the ordinary merchants and dart merchants, these seven people all looked cold, and their eyes kept sweeping the passing places, as if they wanted to find something from this mountain.

These people traveled all the way, no one spoke, only the sound of the cold wind and dead trees in the mountains sounded, which was extremely depressing.

After about a stick of incense, the leader stopped the momentum of moving forward, and several people behind him saw this, and they also reined in their horses, looking up at the leading man, all showing a look of fear.

"Tao San, have the two of them come back?" The vicious man didn't look back, but just opened his mouth, and when a person behind him heard it, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the big man's side.

"Elder Wei, Tao San and Tao Si have not returned yet, we have left a mark along the way, as long as they complete the things that the elder explained, they will naturally follow the mark to find it." The man spoke respectfully.

"The nine of you, you have been in my Qingcang Pavilion for many years, and you have always been reliable, so Gongzi chose me to do such an important thing, if anything goes wrong..."

Seeing the evil man's hand on the hilt of the sword, not only the person who spoke back, but even the rest of the people behind him straightened up, and the fear was overflowing.

The person who replied bowed again and again, and said respectfully: "Elder Wei, rest assured, my third brother and fourth brother are the best at doing these things, and there has never been anything wrong with them for so many years." ”

Seeing that the evil man's hand had been slowly raised from the hilt of the knife, everyone was relieved, and saw that the evil man turned his head slightly, and continued to speak to himself and the others: "Too long has passed, your light work is not bad, rush back to Mojun to see if the two of them have done it, if it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that something will happen." The rest of the people, follow me on the search. ”

Everyone hurriedly opened their mouths, and the person who replied was about to leave, but was called by the evil man, took out a pill from his arms, handed it to the person, and slowly spoke: "When I came, the master of the door gave a few Realm Breaking Pills, you have worked hard in the past few days, reward you for taking this pill, and then it's not too late to answer..."

The Breaking Realm Pill is famous in the Golden Knife Gate, Fei Wei relied on this Breaking Realm Pill to become the elder of the White Tiger Pavilion Sword Protector, this person heard the name of the Broken Mirror Pill, where else can he care, he quickly knelt down and thanked him, under the envious eyes of the other brothers, took the Dan and subdued, and then looked at the evil man and kowtowed repeatedly, got up and stepped on the ground, and in an instant, he disappeared into the forest.

Seeing that he was honestly serving Dan, the corner of his mouth was imperceptible and a smile appeared, slightly clamped the horse's belly, led the remaining few people, and looked deep into the mountains.

But just about to walk a few feet away, the evil man seemed to remember something, raised his hand to stop the people behind him from moving forward, looked back slightly, and looked at the place where Shicai stopped talking, and the slightly cloudy eyes searched several times, and finally found the clue.

Riding on horseback, the evil man took off lightly, and his tower-like body was like a lonely goose, sweeping over everyone's shoulders, and these accompanying people, their expressions remained unchanged at all, as if they had already known the martial arts of this big man.

In a moment's time, the wicked man had swept out of the place of conversation until he had left the place where he was talking, and his eyes were cloudy, and he swept back and forth in the snow in the forest, until he saw a corner of his clothes half-hidden in the snow, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"No matter how cunning the prey is, it can't escape the eyes of the hunter."

The wicked man whispered, and when his gaze moved back, several people outside the zhang immediately understood, and they all stepped on their horses and jumped to the place where the wicked man was standing.

"There has never been a human population in this barren mountain, and it seems that those people of Mojun are hiding near here... Search for me, find people, Elder Ben is rewarded. ”

When the evil man's voice fell, several people behind him were like vicious dogs smelling their prey, and their figures scattered, and the wicked man smiled and slowly held the corner of his clothes in the palm of his hand, and when he opened his palm, the corners of his clothes had turned into powder, and with the winter wind blowing through the forest, scattered in the mountains and forests.

"Hmph, Yi and Xu are the sword protectors of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion, but I can't do it, Wei Scorpion, I found the person that Gongzi wanted, and then I will be the sword protector elder of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion." The evil man was thinking in his heart, and the desire in his cloudy eyes was full of desire.

"Elder Wei, find... Got it. "There was already a figure in the forest rushing back, kneeling on the ground to report.

"Where, come quickly." Wei Scorpion couldn't hide the joy in his heart, picked up the man on the ground, and spoke eagerly, and what was reflected in his cloudy eyes seemed to be no longer the trembling doorman he carried, but the seal that led to the Vermilion Bird Pavilion.

The Tao brothers, who were picked up by Wei Scorpion, trembled all over, he knew that this Qingcang Pavilion's knife elder was murderous and undesirable, and the people under his command would become the souls of his swords, and with a tremble, he pointed to the northwest.

"Five... Five miles away, there is a hidden hole, if others will not find it, but... But the little sense of smell has been different from ordinary people since childhood, and I vaguely smell that there is ... There is a smell of fireworks coming out... I've left a mark on the door... Ouch. ”

Before the man finished speaking, he felt that his body was light, and he had been thrown in the snow by the evil man, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the figure of the evil man had long been blurred, and only the voice of the evil man came out.

"I'll go first, you go and find the others, take the ropes, and take the people with me."

After a short time, Wei Scorpion was already five miles away, staring around, and saw a dead tree, someone had carved a small knife shape with a sharp weapon, and the place where the blade pointed was a mound covered with snow not far away.

Seeing the mark in the door, he immediately knew it in his heart, stepped forward slowly, raised his big hand, and slapped it with one palm, and the snow on the mound was shaken away by his palm, and the entrance of the cave with a height of one person appeared in front of him.

As his subordinates said, the entrance of this cave is covered with snow and dry branches, hidden in the crystal of the ground, it is very difficult to find, even if you happen to bump into, the footprints of the beast at the entrance of this cave will be mistaken for a beast's den and ignored.

But Wei Scorpion has been roaming the rivers and lakes for many years, how can such a shallow camouflage skill be hidden from his eyes, sneered, his feet moved slightly, a stone in the snow has been picked up in an instant, and with a kick, the stone is like an arrow from the string, shooting into the hole...

Listening to it, after familiarizing, he did not hear the echo of the stone bouncing off the stone wall, and the cruel smile on Wei Scorpion's face was even stronger, and he was about to enter the cave, but he heard the "whoosh" sound of the sharp weapon breaking through the hole in the cave.

The sword flashed, and the sound of breaking the sky stopped.

"Insect carving skills."

Sneered and spoke, Wei Scorpion's sideways posture did not change, and when he closed his mouth, his eyes moved down, only to see some broken arrows stuck in the snow on the ground.

"Looks like you've found the right place."

Wei Scorpion slammed the thick-fingered knife in his hand into the ground, sat down cross-legged, and locked his cloudy eyes tightly in the cave, as if he was talking to himself, and more like he was talking to the people hidden in the cave.

"In troubled times, the most worthless thing is human life, but in the prosperous times, the most worthless thing is also human life, I am here, just to find a person, you hand over this person, maybe I am in a good mood, let you go... Anyway, you are also a general under Wan Jun, but now you have been reduced to using these powerless people to save your life, sad and lamentable. ”

Seeing that there was no sound in the cave, even the feather arrow of the hand that had not been struck by the right person was no longer shot, Wei Scorpion looked up to the sky and laughed, not only the snow at the entrance of the cave was shocked, but the laughter was like thunder exploding in the hole, and the laughter containing a bit of Wei Scorpion's internal force echoed in the hole, and it did not disperse for a long time.

A moment later, hearing the faint sound of footsteps coming from the cave, Wei Scorpion's eyes were overjoyed, and he stared at it.

In the dark hole, a person slowly walked out, the thick cloak could not hide his burly figure, from his calm steps, there was no panic, but the Wei Scorpion guarding the entrance of the cave saw this, and the joy in his eyes disappeared slightly, showing a trace of vigilance.

Looking over the man's broad shoulders and into the cave, he didn't see anyone behind him, worried about deception, and walked out slowly as the man walked out, holding the knife that was stuck upside down in the ground with one hand, and got up and retreated.

"With my life, in exchange for the peace of these people, is it okay?"

As the man walked out of the hole, he took off his cloak and hood, revealing a resolute face, and spoke to Wei Scorpion, who was a little stronger than himself.

"I want your life useless, you know what I'm here for." Wei Scorpion carried his heavy knife on his shoulder and spoke bluntly.

"I've destroyed that thing, and you can't get it." The man spoke loudly, undaunted.

Wei Scorpion was shocked when he heard this person say that the thing had been destroyed, but then his expression returned to normal, and he said with a smile: "How can you dare to destroy that thing if you say it has been destroyed, besides, even if it is really destroyed, at least you are still alive." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
