Chapter 56: The Hunt
Looking at the couple lying in a pool of blood, this group of bandits didn't care, and even discussed the previous interesting story with a hippie smile.
At this moment, a bandit ran in the distance.
"Brother Hei, General Pingwei has caught up, just a few dozen miles away."
When everyone heard this, their faces immediately changed, not to mention the prestige of General Pingwei, but to say that the men and horses they brought were several times that of them, and they were strong and strong.
Although they are cruel, they are not fools, and they know that there is only one way to die.
"It's okay, I already have a solution!" The black brother waved his hand, looking confident.
"Throw their bodies into the wagon, find out if there are any other clothes on the carriage, and change the coachman's clothes with ours!"
The bandits quickly understood what the boss meant, and hurriedly threw the bodies of Zhang Xuan and the others into the carriage, and then changed their clothes into the carriage.
Later, they feared that the coachman would fall out of the carriage, so they tied the coachman to the carriage and disguised himself as he was still alive and driving.
Then, after they had everything arranged, the black brother took out a dagger and stabbed it into the horse's buttocks.
"Wow!"
The horse screamed in pain, and ran forward, so fast that there was no shadow to be seen, leaving only dust along the way.
"Clean up the traces and let's leave!"
After Brother Hei finished speaking, he looked up, only to see a black shadow appear in the sky, frowning, is it an eagle or a vulture?
A moment later, a group of people quickly burrowed into the forest and quickly disappeared without a trace.
…………
On a hillside dozens of miles away from the bandits, a group of soldiers in armor followed behind a majestic young man.
"General!"
"There is a fire in Xishan Village, it seems that there are thieves entering the village, and we haven't found out if it is the gang of Black Mountain thieves we are pursuing!"
A spy hurriedly ran over, got down on one knee, and reported the news of his discovery.
The faces of the people behind General Pingwei suddenly changed, Liu Heiwu was a black-hearted person, he killed people without blinking, and he occupied Montenegro before to claim hegemony, so he was called a Montenegro thief.
This is not the point, the point is that as long as Liu Heiwu and others meet people, they will not stay alive.
Even, they often broke into villages, burned, killed and looted, regardless of men, women and children, large and small, no one was spared......
Every villager was tortured by a lot of inhuman torture before he died, and he didn't leave a whole corpse, Liu Heiwu and others were ruthless, and after killing all the villagers, they also set fire to the village.
It was the hateful behavior of this group of bandits that made Xie Yunshang, the general of Pingwei, who originally planned to return to Beijing to restore his life, stop, and planned to exterminate this group of bandits.
He has let his subordinates disperse and suppress bandits in the entire territory of Youzhou, although some overstep their bounds, but the officials in Youzhou are too useless to eliminate this group of bandits, so he made his own decisions and did it himself, after all, it was the people who suffered if it dragged on.
"Anyway, let's save the villagers first." General Pingwei was quick to speak out that if it was the Black Mountain thieves who attacked the village, then the villagers were even more dangerous.
So, they have to rush over as soon as possible.
"Xu Mao, you take a hundred people to Xishan Village to rescue the villagers, if you encounter bandits, you will not be forgiven."
"General, what will you do if there are only ten people left?" Xu Mao suddenly became anxious, how could this person be enough to protect the safety of the general, "This group of bandits is not only arrogant, but also very cunning, I am afraid that they are a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”
After all, knowing that there are pursuers behind him, and attacking the village openly, he is either crazy or brainless.
Although Liu Heiwu and others are crazy, they are not brainless.
"No, even if you encounter a Black Mountain thief, ten people are enough." General Pingwei waved his hand, "Don't waste time, go over and rescue the villagers as soon as possible." ”
Xu Mao suddenly didn't say much, he knew very well the strength of the general, he could really fight one against ten, and the other soldiers were not weak, they were all fierce soldiers who had experienced life and death on the battlefield, no matter how strong these bandits were, they could not be the general's opponents.
Xu Mao led a group of people to Blind Xishan Village immediately, while General Pingwei continued to lead his other subordinates to look for clues about Liu Heiwu and others.
"General, there's a carriage there!"
Some subordinates pointed to the official road not far away, a carriage was moving at high speed, and the clothes on the driver of the carriage were exactly the same as the black mountain thieves who had been exterminated before.
"Stop the carriage!"
General Pingwei's face sank, "Lin, you take people along the official road to find clues, and the others follow me to chase the carriage." ”
As he spoke, the crowd rode apart.
Although they knew that it was just Liu Heiwu's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, they still had to go over, because they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts and could save the people in the carriage.
True, they could see that the coachman, although he was dressed as a bandit, was not a bandit.
Moreover, how could Liu Heiwu and the others escape on the official road in a carriage, it was simply three hundred silver here.
If it was other people, seeing a carriage driving on the official road, this scene would have been normal, but they all came down from the battlefield, killed many people, and knew very well the difference between the living and the dead.
So, at a glance, they could see that the coachman was dead, and the carriage was not added at all, but the horse itself was running.
Several people quickly caught up with the carriage and intercepted it, and when they saw the scene in the carriage, everyone was angry.
"These hateful bandits, I can't spare them!"
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and rage.
General Pingwei's face was gloomy, and he was obviously angry, "If you bury them well, you can pursue Liu Heiwu, and you can't let him kill again." ”
They only hope that they can quickly eliminate Liu Heiwu before he kills people again.
…………
The exiled team had no idea what was happening dozens of miles away, and everyone was very happy at this time.
Because it has arrived not far from Wenxian County.
Although the exiled team will not enter the county seat, the officials will enter the Wenxian county government to hand over documents, so they must be repaired here.
These days, I have been walking with shackles, and many people have worn out the skin on the soles of their feet and ankles, and their originally rich bodies have lost a lot of weight.
Originally, Yiyi had become sluggish at this time, and he had been traveling long distances, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't eat enough, so he was tired of many people.
Now that there is a rare opportunity to rest, everyone is naturally happy.
Chen Xue and the others were also very happy, because they could take the opportunity to go to the county seat to buy supplies, and even hot pot seasonings.
Lord Chen is very curious about the hot pot in his daughter's mouth, but there is no seasoning, so he has not eaten it, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to get the seasoning and experience it.
However, penniless, he had to ask his daughter for money.
"Dad, didn't we say okay, I'm going to go too?"
Chen Xue hurriedly said that she had space and could store a lot of materials, so she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to purchase them aggressively.
It's just that it backfired, and a sudden event interrupted their plans.
