Chapter 315 - Using Him as Bait
It was almost noon, and the Mojun beacon tower had long been extinguished, and only a few wisps of green smoke could vaguely see that yesterday's fire came from here. The animals that rise at night also hang high with the sun, and disappear, and under the sun, the surroundings of the beacon tower have fallen silent.
Suddenly, a few voices broke through the air, breaking the rare calm, and the figures of the three people broke through the forest one after another and landed outside the beacon tower.
The young man in front of him, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, has a tall posture, but the green shirt is ragged, if outsiders don't see his ability to perform light skills, they will probably regard him as a beggar who fled all the way.
The figure behind him was a little slower, but he also landed outside the beacon tower when the young man's body was standing, dressed in white, carrying a white sheath long sword, until he stood still, and saw the appearance of the immortal.
The black-clothed man who came at the end, still holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, fell behind the two people in front of him, struggling to calm his chest and rise and fall, looking around the beacon tower, and seeing that there were no people, he said: "Brother Mu, the son you said is here?" β
The young man also had doubts in his eyes, although Mo Ti was not a top master in the martial arts realm, but the three of them did not hide their breath when they came, Mo Ti should be able to sense that someone was coming, it seems that he was delayed because of the valley, or it was too late, and he only hoped that the masked man did not come here before himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the cigarette pouch and pot open behind him, and the young man gathered what he was thinking, frowned and responded: "I agreed with him to meet here... Miss Jiang, Brother Qixin, you first investigate the surroundings, and wait for me to enter to investigate. β
Jiang Ningxue heard the young man's words, nodded slightly, and then her figure suddenly rose, and immediately disappeared on the spot, the cigarette pouch pot also extinguished the cigarette stick, inserted it back into her waist, and went to the surroundings to investigate according to the young man's instructions.
The young man performed light skills, jumped up, jumped straight onto the beacon tower, and looked inward, only to see that there were also extinguished heating things in the beacon tower, but he did not see Yun Gongzi and Mo Sicheng, and hurriedly jumped into the beacon tower, and after a little investigation, he found that there were signs of fighting here.
"Oops." When he spoke, he only heard the sound of a cigarette pouch and pot calling for himself outside the beacon tower.
"Brother Wood."
When the young man heard this, he jumped out of the beacon tower, and met Miss Jiang, who also rushed to hear the words, and the two looked at each other, and without saying much, they went to the cigarette pouch and pot together.
At this time, he was leaning over a dead tree in the forest, holding an object in his hand, carefully examining it, until Gu Xiao and the two approached, the cigarette bag pot got up and handed the thing in his hand to the future.
Gu Xiao took this thing, and at a glance recognized that it was the scale armor on the stomach of Mo Sicheng's brown and red armor, his mind was fast, and after a little thought, he knew that Yun Gongzi and Miss Mo were in trouble, there was no bloodstain corpse in the beacon tower, thinking that the two of them had no worries about their lives for the time being, they must have been coerced to leave the beacon tower, and this armor and stomach scales thought to be the thing left by Miss Mo to guide the way.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ningxue beside her saw the young man frowning and pondering, knowing that things had changed, and opened her mouth to ask.
Gu Xiao was interrupted by Jiang Ningxue, spread out the scale armor in his palm and said: "This is the armor of Mojun Sicheng, the two of them seem to have been controlled by others, so they had to leave the beacon tower." β
The cigarette pouch pot immediately remembered the mysterious master in the young man's mouth, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the person who covered the face in the mouth of Brother Mu?" β
Gu Xiao raised his eyes, facing Shangjiang Ningxue's doubtful eyes, frowning and analyzing: "That masked man is here for Yun Gongzi's life, if it were him, he would have taken the lives of Yun Gongzi and the others in the beacon tower, I really can't think of any reason for him to coerce the two to leave, if it weren't for him... Could it be that the two bandit leaders who escaped could not make it? β
The young man made up his mind, whether it was this person or the bandit leader who escaped, there were clues now, and the whereabouts of Yun Gongzi and Miss Mo needed to be traced as soon as possible...
The cigarette pouch pot on his side seemed to see the young man's intentions, and said, "Mu Shaoxia, if you want to borrow it."
Chasing people, maybe I can help. β
If you are anxious, you are in chaos, the people in the ink door have their own strengths, and the ruler letter on his side is not good at tracking, the young man's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Brother ruler letter, do you have a way?" β
Smoke pouch pot said with a smile: "If it's a sword competition, maybe I'm not as good as Brother Mu, but if it's tracking and stalking on the wheel, then I can be regarded as a first-class one in the rivers and lakes... It's just..."
"Brother Zhixin, what do you need me to do, just ask." There seemed to be hesitation in listening to the words of the cigarette bag pot, and the young man spoke eagerly.
The cigarette pouch pot put away his smile and frowned: "If it is tracking, we still need a general direction, we have no clue now, only relying on the small scales of the stomach and stomach, we can't start." β
When the young man heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then had an idea, and said to Jiang Ningxue and the others: "We found that the place of the armor stomach scales is the north of the beacon tower, in case it is the strategy of robbing Yun Gongzi and the two of them to disturb the enemy, the three of us will disperse first, and go around to find it, as long as we can find the second armor stomach scale, we can determine where they are going." β
The cigarette pouch patted his head and said, "Yes, this method is very good." β
It has been agreed that the three of them will disperse, and the branch will go in three directions: northeast, west...
ββ
The horses' hooves were bursting, coming from the west, and the "patrol" Da Xu, which was hunting in the wind, was very conspicuous in the morning sun, and the leaders were a few people, with solemn expressions.
Riding in the front of the person, the body is fat, pale, under a closer look, only to see that his shoulder is the military medical officer bandaged with a muslin cloth, hanging to the neck, Xu is riding all the way bumpy, the shoulder bandaging muslin has faintly oozing blood, but his expression is still serious, leading the ride, there is no slowdown.
The tiger-eyed young man on his side, carrying satin wrapped objects, riding closely behind, a pair of eyes full of eagerness, and the rest of the generals behind him, all with a solemn face, only focused on hurrying.
This patrol of the garrison battle, compared with the battalion of soldiers led by Gordon last night, the momentum is several times more than that, looking from afar, only the horses' hooves can be heard, neighing and shaking the sky, looking for the sound, seeing the horse team stretching endlessly, with no end in sight.
"Newspaperβ" The scout in front of him came by slapping his horse, and the distance was still far away, and he was already shouting, and the sound moved the valley.
On Gordon's side, Xu An, who also only sent a medical officer to hastily bandage the wounds under his ribs, saw General Gao in front of him raise his hand, and hurriedly looked back at the order, asking the soldiers behind him to temporarily stop the march.
With the end of the team, the leader of the front Gao Deng signaled to stop the march of the patrol army in front, looked at the scout who turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground with a military salute and said, "How is Mo County." β
Last night's suppression of bandits was inevitably injured by mistake, and before they started, they found an excuse to send Mo Shoumin away, this time they patrolled the whole army and horses, and then returned to Mo County, and the people of Mo County were registered, and the first scout was sent to investigate the situation of Mo County, and more importantly, it was not to find out where His Royal Highness King Ning was.
Remembering last night's troop transfer, the letter... Gordon couldn't help but look back at Yan Qingchuan, and when he saw the son of the grandmaster, looking eagerly at the scout, Gordon turned his head with a hesitant look in his eyes.
"Report to the general, among the counties of Mo, it is as... As expected, the city was attacked by bandits, and it was already empty, and the rest of the people were nowhere to be found. β
Gordon shouted: "That man dressed as a son, has he ever found out his whereabouts." β
When the scout saw the general's expression, he didn't dare to hide it, but only reported it truthfully: "I waited until I arrived in Mojun, and I never saw the person the general was looking for.
Hearing the scout's report, Gordon's eyes lit up, and he shouted to the scout: "Investigate again, if you find the whereabouts of that son, Pegasus will report it." β
Seeing that the scout got on his horse and left, Gordon seemed to have made up his mind, waved his hand and sent the generals behind him to retreat temporarily, he glanced at Xu An, and saw that Xu An would go, so he turned around and patted the horse to Yan Qingchuan's side, took out the hanging water bladder on the saddle, and handed it respectfully.
Yan Qingchuan didn't think much about it and took the water
sac, poured a few mouthfuls, and spoke eagerly: "Have you ever found out the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Ning." β
Gordon's eyes flickered, his face was ashamed, and he said truthfully: "The scout has just arrived, and he has not yet found it." β
"Then what are we waiting for, quickly set off and rush to the beacon." Yan Qingchuan was worried about King Ning's safety and spoke eagerly.
When the words fell, he saw the fat general in front of him, and he hesitated to speak: "Commander Yan, the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Ning, I have sent scouts to investigate, if you get the report, it is not too late to go to support, and now I want to search for the whereabouts of the bandit leader first..."
Yan Qingchuan was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "Gordon, what are you talking about, do you know that if His Royal Highness King Ning has made a mistake, what a sin you and I are, what do you mean..."
Before the words fell, Gordon had already raised his eyes to meet Yan Qingchuan's round eyes, and said without the slightest fear: "Of course, the last general knows the noble identity of His Royal Highness King Ning, but the Holy Lord wants to get rid of the hidden dangers of Yanbei for a long time, and at this time, he can take this opportunity to wipe out these disasters in one net to prevent future troubles..."
Somehow, this Gordon suddenly changed his attitude, Yan Qingchuan looked at the patrol general in front of him who led more than 4,000 soldiers, and heard the meaning from his words, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Gordon, you are so bold, you dare to use the life of His Royal Highness King Ning as bait to lure the enemy, who gave you the guts..."
After speaking, Yan Qingchuan, who was extremely angry, was about to take off the sword of Shang Fang behind him and order Gao Deng to march, but at the moment of returning his hand, he heard Gao Deng suddenly shout: "Where is Xu An." β
Yan Qingchuan was shocked when he heard this, what was this Gordon going to do, looking back, there were more than 100 patrol soldiers holding ropes pouring out of the mountains on both sides of the road, and only in the moment he looked back, more than 100 ropes flew towards him.
"If you want to rebel, I'll capture you right now." Speaking angrily for a moment, Yan Qingchuan jumped up with his feet on the saddle, waved his palms, and went straight to Gao Deng, who had retreated from the longitudinal horse.
At the moment of volleying, Yan Qingchuan sneered, wanting to use these ropes to scratch the hook and want to capture the descendant of the Lower Dragon Scale Abyss, this Gordon inevitably underestimated himself... But when he was about to rush in front of Gordon, he suddenly felt a feeling of dizziness in his heart.
"Not good." Slowing down, looking back, he sat down on the saddle of the good horse, and Gao Deng Shicai handed over the water bladder.
Seeing that Yan Qingchuan's figure slowed down, Gao Deng's eyes were slightly fixed, and he immediately exclaimed: "Capture it quickly." β
Hearing his general's order, a group of soldiers hurriedly jumped out of the forest, assembled into a formation, and firmly trapped Yan Qingchuan in it.
Although Yan Qingchuan was dizzy and unbearable, after all, he was in the martial arts realm, so he reached out and grabbed the rope trapped around his waist, and immediately overturned several soldiers to the ground.
Seeing this, the soldiers alternated their bodies from time to time, and the ropes around the waist of the tiger-eyed young man who were trapped in the formation instantly tied his hands firmly.
Seeing that he couldn't move, Yan Qingchuan still wanted to struggle, but he couldn't do it, so he had to watch the ropes in the hands of the soldiers tie him more and more firmly... wanted to open his mouth to scold Gordon, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't even open his mouth to scold, and after only a moment, he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that Yan Qingchuan had been taken, Gordon turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Yan Qingchuan, who was still barely trying to maintain the last trace of sobriety, and said: "Commander Yan, offended... After the matter was over, Gao asked Commander Yan for the guilt again. β
Then he got up and instructed the soldiers: "Take it down, pass it to my generals, and guard it strictly." β
Seeing that the soldiers carried away Yan Qingchuan, who was already in a coma, Xu An, who was covering the wound under his ribs, came quickly, and said to General Gao, who was standing in the south: "General, the last general really doesn't know, why do you want to take it, he has it in his hand..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by General Gao raising his hand, only to see him with a respectful gaze in his eyes, looking at the south from afar, and slowly speaking: "The Holy Lord is really the male lord..."
