Chapter 280 - Escape from the snow
Seeing that young face say such a vicious plan so lightly, Gordon's face couldn't stop trembling, and he said again and again: "To... It's impossible to kill so many people. β
Seeing Gordon's hesitation, the indifferent smile on Wang Heng's face gradually disappeared, and he approached Gordon's fat face, squinting his eyes and staring at his slightly evasive eyes.
"Smack." The crisp slap resounded through the big tent, and Gordon covered his face in disbelief and looked at the young man in snow in front of him.
Wang Heng sneered, took out a brocade from his arms, wiped his hands full of oil, and although his tone was light, it was like a drumstick hammer hitting Gordon's heart.
"Can't do it? When General Gao bullied the people's women, did you ever think about it, did you think about it when you wantonly amassed money, and when you received the gold and silver from my Golden Daomen, did you ever think about it? I still think that the air outside is much better than in the military prison. β
When Gordon heard this, he kowtowed again and again: "Gordon doesn't dare, Gordon is willing to follow the son's plan." β
Wang Heng didn't see the smile on the corner of Gordon's fat face who bowed to the ground, he only felt that his threatening words had worked, slowly got up, and ordered Gordon: "Tell me to go down and pull out the camp immediately." β
Where did Gordon dare to refuse, he hurriedly got up and slowly retreated, and was about to leave the big tent, but he heard hurried footsteps again.
"Newspaperβ"
Hearing that a herald was coming, Gordon quickly stood up straight and said in a deep voice: "Come on." β
The herald knelt on the ground and reported truthfully: "General, there is a person outside the camp who asks to see you." β
Gordon wondered, "Who?" β
The herald glanced at the snow-clothed boy, and then at his own general, his face hesitated, and Gordon knew why the herald hesitated, and shouted: "This is the son of my best friend, no different from my junior, just bring it." β
When the herald heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore and said bluntly: "It's Mo Shoumin of Mo County, he... Alone on a horse, he asked to see the general, saying that Mojun was attacked and harassed by bandits, injured many people, and begged the general to send troops to suppress the bandits. β
Gordon heard the report, and hurriedly looked back at Wang Heng, seeing that Wang Heng looked at ease, he waved his hand and retreated from the herald: "General Ben knows, you go to Haosheng to appease first, and I will come later." β
The herald received the order, and just exited the big tent, Gordon said with a panicked face: "Childe, this... How can this be good, you don't discuss it with you... I'm afraid this matter of Mojun can't be covered. β
Looking at this straw bale beating his chest, the appearance of not enough success and more than failure, if it wasn't for his usefulness, Wang Heng really wanted to pull out a knife and cut him... After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said softly: "What are you panicking about, this just shows that this person from Mo County doesn't know the identity of Elder Wei, let alone General Gao, you have something to do with this matter, if not, how could he come to you for help... In that case, we might as well come up with a plan, just send troops, and do what you want to do by the way..."
Gordon listened to Wang Heng's words, calmed down a little, but thinking of the task he gave him, he couldn't help but have the intention of retreating, and just wanted to open his mouth and try to refuse again, but he met Wang Heng's eyes with murderous intent, and immediately swallowed the words that came to his mouth, so he had to shout outside the tent.
"Someone, someone!"
Seeing that Gordon had changed for a herald and ordered the patrol guards to pull out the camp, Wang Heng was very satisfied, smiled coldly, and looked at the faint fire outside his zhang.
ββ
In the forest of Yanbei, under the dense snow, there is no trace of people, only the silver millet field.
There was a rustling sound, and several vicious wolves had not found food for many days, and their wolf eyes flashed with cold light, swaying like a dark lamp in the mountains at night.
With the howl of the head wolf, the faint sound of the rustling beast's steps in the forest instantly became loud, and the wolves followed the call of the head wolf.
As if in this silver corn field, smelling a hint of prey, the head wolf slowly stepped forward and slashed at a snowy field.
After a few clicks, I saw a pair of slender hands appear, and the wolves saw the food and wanted to come forward to eat, but the head wolf showed its fangs and drank back, and the blood-red tongue licked the wolf's lips, and the head wolf was about to eat first.
As if sensing something, he suddenly raised the wolf's head, bowed his head towards the dense forest, bared his fangs, and let out a low roar in his throat. Seeing this, the wolves followed the same offensive posture as the first wolf, and roared towards the forest like a great enemy.
The wolves were on guard for a long time, and no danger appeared, the head wolf seemed to have lost patience, looked back at the wolves, raised his front hooves towards the place where he perceived the danger, and took a step, but he was fixed on the spot, and the wolves saw that the head wolf seemed to be still, and they stepped forward to spin, but only when they came to the head wolf, they also fell into the same situation.
At this moment, if anyone passes by and sees, they must be shocked, just because under the howl of this winter wind, there is an invisible barrier in the forest, which isolates this place from the outside world, not only the wind and snow bypass, unable to enter, but also several vicious wolves, like fixed bodies, in different forms, in this invisible barrier boundary, motionless.
A moment later, when the wolves moved, they did not continue to roar and attack towards the approaching place of danger, but the heads of these vicious wolves were already broken by their necks, silently, as if they had been instantly beheaded by an invisible blade.
As the wolf's blood stained the ground with snow, a pair of footprints appeared in the snow, and the wolf's blood soaked in the footprints bypassed the footprints... A tall figure gradually emerged, and under the night, his face could not be seen clearly, only half of this person's face could be seen, and the other half was hidden under the vertical black veil.
This man seemed to be unwilling to care anymore, the life and death of the man who was buried deep in the snow, and it was his last mercy to be able to kill the wolves, and he looked ahead, stepped straight over the corpses of the wolves, and was about to leave, but there was a childish voice from the direction of the road.
"Little Sixth Brother, we need to be faster."
"Little ancestor, although I am said to be the county guard, after all, I am not the official army of Yanbei, let alone those masters of the rivers and lakes who can fly to the sky, let alone carry you all the way."
"It's not that I want to urge you, little sixth brother, it's been a short time, I'm worried that Engong is in danger."
"You can rest assured Xiaodouzi, I have seen Engong's skills, don't say that we county guards and guards are all shooting together, it is Lord Si Cheng, and it is not his opponent. Besides, even if he is in danger, how can you and I help, even this thick snow is almost higher than you..."
"What you said is not right Sixth Brother, even if we can't help, we have to help, Mo County people, if you have kindness, you will repay it, don't forget."
"How dare I forget... Alas, I said how did you jump off on your own, can you walk, this snow is about to drown you. β
This person heard the sound of the conversation between the two getting closer, and there was no emotion in his eyes, but the originally clear figure gradually blurred, until a gust of winter wind blew, and his figure was no longer visible.
The figure has disappeared, there is already a female baby, wading through the snow, maybe it is too young, or the physical strength is not exhausted, running here, the feet are unstable, a stumbling into the snow, and when he looks up, the pigtails on the top of his head are full of snow.
Seeing this, a person behind him hurriedly came over, helped her up from the snow, and said with concern: "I said that the snow in this forest is dense and thick, so I didn't fall." β
The girl patted the snow on her jacket and said, "Little Sixth Brother, don't worry... Hey, look, what's that. β
Aiming at the place where the man who covered his face was killed by the wolves, he pointed at it from afar, and the girl exclaimed: "A lot of blood! β
When Xiao Liu heard the reputation, he saw wolf corpses all over the ground, and the snow was dyed red, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Douzi's eyes, but Xiao Douzi grew up in Mo County, and he had never seen any scenes, and he was much braver than his peers.
"Little Sixth Brother, look."
Completely ignoring Xiao Liu's desire to cover her palm, the girl's eyesight was good, and she saw the slender hand from those wolf corpses at a glance, and under the exclamation, she hurriedly called Xiao Liu to look at it.
Looking in the direction that Xiaodouzi pointed, Xiao Liuzi also saw the hand, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly held the lance tightly and protected Xiaodouzi behind him.
Although Xiaodouzi is young, he has a good memory, and he only saw Gu Xiao twice in the cave on Mojun and Yanbei Mountain, and he recognized the owner of the palm.
didn't care about those terrible wolf corpses, and hurriedly ran forward: "It's the big brother, it's the Engong!" β
No matter how many times he fell, Xiaodouzi quickly got up, and finally ran to the palm of his hand, and his two little hands tightly held the slender palm and pulled it hard. Not to mention her childlike posture, she is an adult strong man, and it is not easy to pull out the buried person from the deep burial in the snow.
Xiaodouzi's dark eyes were slightly red, thinking of Engong's warm smile, for the sake of his own Mojun people, regardless of their own safety, went to chase bandits and save people, Xiaodouzi couldn't manage a lot, and regardless of the cold and snow, a pair of small hands began to dig up along the palms.
Xiao Liuzi was reluctant to come forward to help, he was worried that if the young man died, then the bandit would still be alive, and he hurriedly held a gun on guard.
After another moment, after making sure that there was really no bandit ambush here, he immediately ran to Xiaodouzi's side and hugged the girl to the side.
"Little Bean, you have sharp eyes, look around for the sixth brother, if there are bandits, tell me in time."
Although Xiaodouzi is much more sensible than children of the same age, he is still a child after all, and when he thinks of the death of his eldest brother, he grins and cries when he is sad.
"Woo, I knew this earlier, even if I was holding his leg, I wouldn't let him chase him... Woooooooo β
Xiao Liuzi had seen the young man's skills, but he didn't expect that even he would die at the hands of the bandits, and his heart was full of grief, but he also knew that now was not the time to be sad, so in order to prevent those bandits from returning again on a whim, he thought that he wanted to find the young man's body as soon as possible and bring it back for burial.
The faster he planed in his hands, but how could he cut through this thick snow with his own strength, and after a while, he was already sweating profusely.
Siwei Xiaoliu was panting, and the little bean on the side suddenly remembered something, and sobbed and said, "Little Sixth Brother, it's not right." β
Xiao Liu's hands didn't stop, panting and asking, "What's wrong." β
"Wolves... Who killed it. β
At this point, Xiao Liu stopped his movements and hurriedly turned over to protect Xiao Douzi.
With a "huh-" sound, the short knife on his waist was already out of its sheath.
Xiaodouzi is right, the boy is dead, judging from these wolf corpses, it is not long before he dies, in addition to himself and Xiaodouzi, there are other people here.
Concentrate on vigilance, only listen to the slight sound on the side, how can the little Liuzi who is nervous think so much, he can hear the sound and the exclamation of the little bean behind him, and the short knife in his hand quickly slashes to the side...
Although Xiao Liu's knife is not fast, it is not slow, but the knife is only halfway out, and it is held by a slender hand at the wrist, and it can't go in for half a point.
"Sixth brother, spare my life..."The weak voice sounded in the ears of Siwei Xiaoliu and Xiaodouzi.
Xiaodouzi followed the prestige, his red eyes had changed from sadness to surprise in an instant, and he didn't care about the tears on his face, and threw himself at the person who spoke.
"Great, big brother, you're not dead... I thought..."
The little bean who threw himself into the boy's arms couldn't stop sobbing, his nose was sore, and he seemed to be crying again, but this time it was not sadness, but tears of joy.
Gu Xiao, who was covered in snow, was extremely embarrassed, and finally crawled out of the snow, but was thrown down by Xiaodouzi and a little girl, and fell on her back.
Some people died, but not completely......
