Follow the road and follow it all the way.

The other party also deliberately confused the public halfway and divided into several ways.

However, it was not Zheng Xiong himself who was robbed, but specially arranged, and the final result was that he could not get rid of the pursuit.

Man's sixth sense is especially evident in this dark night.

From night to day, even if I fled to the mountains, the palpitations that came from me still lingered.

"Where?"

"I don't know."

"Well, no matter, I will take ten people to escort Zheng Xiong's mother and son to the west, you are divided into two groups, one wave goes south, one wave stays to see if there are any chasing soldiers, if there are warnings, if not, go north, let's meet in Macheng."

"Now let's just divide these people, if we divide them again, will there be fewer people? Besides, they may not be able to find us, so they are too cautious! ”

The leader didn't say much, but slashed at the man, and when the man was defenseless, he struck the head with a sword.

"If you can't hear it, you don't have to listen to it, you! What is the meaning? ”

The effect of killing chickens and monkeys is good, and the rest of the people are silent and bow their heads and say nothing.

"Hmph, the work we do is to kill the head, a little negligence may kill your life, seriously harm your family, several clans are difficult to protect, and the end of taking it lightly is a dead word, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful."

"Now, I said to go our separate ways, do you have any opinions?"

At this time, if you have any opinions, of course, you will obey orders.

"No, listen to the chief."

"If not, hurry up and prepare, I'll go first."

When the leader left, the remaining ten people looked at each other.

"There should be no danger for the time being, you go first, or we go first."

"I also think the leader is too careful, guess the fist! That's fair. ”

"Okay, rock-paper-scissors, I won, take care."

After a while, there were only five people left in the field, waiting in place.

"Look at what I'm doing, I don't want to lose, but there's no way. Find yourself a place, pay a little attention, and rest. ”

After running for so long, still in this big mountain, few people think that they haven't escaped yet.

Naturally, there was a lot of relaxation.

When you relax, you feel tired.

Found a hidden place, and several people fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept until a sound sounded that someone opened their eyes and looked around in confusion.

In front of me, it was unconsciously full of people.

The man was so frightened that he hurriedly took up his weapon.

Then, a big foot struck, and the man was kicked to the ground, and then tied up.

The movement was too loud, and the remaining few people were awakened in turn, and they didn't even have time to react, so they were controlled.

A figure slowly walked out of the crowd, stood still in front of several people, and asked slowly.

"Are you waiting for your official here? I think you know something, can you tell me about it? ”

"It's a dead word on the left and right, you might as well hurry up, we won't say anything."

"That's not necessarily, I said, this official may be able to spare your life, of course, this opportunity is only available to one person, whoever speaks out first, it is possible to avoid death, which of you comes first."

The damn sense of oppression also creates an atmosphere of urgency.

The choice between life and death, no matter how strong the person was before, when the choice is in front of him, it still makes people break the defense in an instant.

"I said, we are~"

"Shut up, he's telling us, and if he says it, he'll die faster."

"Hehe, whether he can live to see how he performs, but you don't have it now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a knife flew by, and the person who intervened forcefully immediately died, and the blood slashed the faces of the others.

The sense of oppression came up all of a sudden, and the person who was going to confess and be lenient made his debut quickly like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"Spare my life, we stayed to see if there were any pursuers, the others have already left in two ways, that's all I know, and please open up the net and spare my little life."

"How many? Where did it go? ”

"Ten people went west, the tied Hou Ye was also among them, and five people went south, and finally met in Macheng."

"You're good, come someone, bring people back, ask carefully."

After the others were sent away, they didn't seem to be in such a hurry, just looked at the mountains in a daze.

"My lord, there are footprints on the west and south sides, they have dried up, they should have been walked for a while, and there are still marks on the west side, which were left by our people."

"Well, everyone obeys the order and chases west."

The journey pursued was not so pleasant, and they were almost lost several times, especially when these ten people did not continue to the west, but reversed the direction again, and when it was contrary to the intelligence, it was even more difficult, but fortunately, someone left a mark in front, which could be hung behind.

After the arrested officials and some of the people who were pursued one after another were arrested, Qiu Siwu in the state government immediately began to surprise interrogations.

Looking at the origin of the single cong, there is not the slightest clue, and it is varied, coming from all over the place.

The only thing they have in common is that these people are bandits from all over the world, who have been promised good rewards and gathered here.

It's useless, and the officials are also greedy for profit, and what they give is mostly one thing, and they are also promised promotions.

Promoted to make a fortune, there are both, so naturally dare to take risks.

But it was useless, the people behind the scenes were too cautious, and they didn't find anything other than to find some property.

The people who connected with him had long since been empty.

Nothing, so to speak.

One can only hope to track the people of the past.

For ten days, the two groups of people and horses in the Dabie Mountains were still wandering around, wandering in the mountains and never willing to come out.

Finally, on this day, after a baptism of heavy rain, two groups of people walked out of the mountain one after another.

At this time, it has reached the territory of Henan.

Next, there was another series of chases.

It's just a pity that when you pass through a waterway, you lose your tracks.

Helpless, I could only divide my troops and search slowly along the upstream and downstream.

After another three days of tracking, the bad news came.

The bodies of the two appeared by the river, and the faces of the two people who were blistered by the river could no longer be seen clearly, so they could only vaguely judge the identities of the two from their clothes.

It is basically certain that the two were identified for unknown reasons, killed on the spot, and dumped in the river.

Holding on to a little hope, he continued to track, and in the direction where the body was found, he traveled a hundred miles, and found a ship that had almost burned out on a sandy field.

A piece of ashes, rummaging through it, found their mark in a porcelain vase.

A person's name was engraved on the bottom of the bottle, and the word Fang Xing was written on it.

The clue is completely broken here.

The situation is the same here in Lu'an Prefecture, except for finding the lair of these hired bandits, smashing their lair, and finding some property, basically nothing has been found.

Another team of five people appeared in Macheng, but they didn't assemble smoothly and scattered in all directions.

These people are still from different places, and they are also bandits, and when they chase their lair, they also lose clues.

At this point, the only clue left is the clue with the word Fang Xing, like a person's name.

And this clue is almost negligible, finding such a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is little hope.
