146. Chasing the enemy
Hebei, Cangzhou.
It's spring in Bianjing, and I don't want the north to coincide with a heavy snow that has not been encountered in a century, with a few feet thick and the world white.
The frost hit his face, the snow flew all over the sky, and between the thick black hair, Chen Zhuo squinted his eyes and swept the snow-capped northland scenery, and under the cyan clothes that hunted in the wind, a pair of black official boots loomed.
Beside him, several commanders guarding the prison were already like pulsatillas, with frost on their eyebrows, snow in their hair, and a thick layer of ice flowers on their eyelashes.
With a twinkle in his eyes, Chen Zhuo turned to look at the "iron-blooded prison" behind him.
Today's martial arts have three most frightening cages for people in the rivers and lakes; They are the "iron-blooded prison" in Cangzhou, the "death row" of the Criminal Department, and the "heavenly prison" with six doors.
And this iron-blooded prison is only for the masters of the rivers and lakes, especially those strong hands who do all kinds of evil and do one side of the disaster, claiming to have entered but not left, and they are either tortured to death, or they are imprisoned and killed in it.
There is only one door here, and it is necessary to enter and exit the password, exchange waist cards, and the two locks can only enter and exit, and there are guards guarded by fierce guards, and there are commanders patrolling and guarded; During the duty period, no one was seen, no one was allowed to go out, even family members were not allowed to see, and they were all in prison for food and drink, so the food and salary were good, and there were twelve commanders, in groups of two, for one month.
And the two commanders who went to the Shenhou Mansion for help were the two commanders of this month, namely Shi Zhendong, who was known as the "Divine Spear" on the rivers and lakes, and Zhou Lenglong, the "Three-handed Divine Ape", both of whom were fierce generals on the battlefield and generals of the town government, and their status was not low.
The remaining two are prison officers, who are responsible for patrolling.
Originally, there were four prison officers, but only one died and one rebelled, and the person who rebelled was the internal response to this prison robbery, so it went so smoothly.
"Brother Chen, in addition to the traitor Shen Yunshan, there are also eight masters in the underworld of the rivers and lakes, nicknamed 'Heavenly Cripple and Eight Wastes', all of whom are extremely vicious, are you sure?"
Hearing the red-faced Shi Zhendong ask, Chen Zhuo said lightly: "Since you are crippled and crippled, what is there to be afraid of." ”
Hearing this, the reckless man prison officer said angrily: "Brother Chen, those eight are not easy to deal with, and there is Shen Yunshan's Wang Ba, as well as the Shi family brothers, and then Chu Xiangyu, even if we all add it, we will have to explain." ”
Zhou Lenglong also said with a calm face: "And according to the report of the spies, they went all the way to the southwest, probably towards the 'Chilian Peak', there are other unusual goods on it, and the few masters of 'Lianyunzhai' are all good hands, and then there is the 'big boss' Qi Shaoshang, if they really want to converge in one place, all the thieves are bound to respond, unless the army presses the border, otherwise anyone who goes will die." ”
A group of people still didn't feel at ease with Chen Zhuo, but they only felt that he was a little ignorant of the height of the sky when he was a fledgling.
Chen Zhuo's eyes wandered quickly, paying attention to the delicate mechanisms along the way, as well as the closed black iron prison doors, his mind was dark, and his ears and eyesight were extremely subtle, that is, the breath behind the prison door could be collected in his ears.
This cell door is also exquisite, the outer layer is made of several kinds of strange iron, with different hardness and toughness, and the inside is filled with copper juice, which can not only relieve people's internal force, but also cannot explode ordinary gunpowder.
After glancing at the dead prison officer, the group went to the cell where Chu Xiangyu was held again.
Without waiting for a few people to elaborate, Chen Zhuo had already taken many subtle traces into his eyes, and casually picked up an iron nail from the ground, two inches long, the thickness of bamboo chopsticks, and there were blood stains on it.
Seeing this, Shi Zhendong on the side said: "This is used to seal their acupoints." ”
Chen Zhuo's eyes flashed, "Clean up and get ready to go!" ”
Shi Zhendong frowned and said, "Let's leave now?" ”
Chen Zhuo glanced at him, "Aren't you worried that he will be in the same place as that Lianyun Village?" Since they are busy running away, they will never make a big fanfare, and they will definitely cover up all the way, and if they can't go fast, if they pursue at this time, they may be able to intercept them halfway. ”
Several prison officers looked at each other, "Isn't it too hasty?" ”
Chen Zhuo said: "We are in a hurry, they are more anxious, they have been trapped for a long time, and they have traveled a long distance, it must be when they are exhausted, and they have no time to recover if they want to come, of course, they are taking advantage of his illness to kill him." ”
Having said that, the two commanders and the two prison officers were still hesitant.
Chen Zhuo was already walking out, and said softly: "Your life is hanging by a thread but you are still hesitating, don't you have to discuss a foolproof plan, and wait for those people to escape to the edge of the sky before you do it...... Mr. Zhuge may have some behind, but I don't like to drag mud and water, just find someone who knows the way and guide me the way, we go first, you are behind, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can delay, even if you are not defeated, I will return to meet you. ”
Shi Zhendong also knew that he couldn't delay, and said in a deep voice: "According to Brother Chen, since you are a good archer, you must not only attack from afar, and don't be close." ”
"Since you are the guide, you will pick a good one, Brother Liu, and I will bother you."
Hearing Shi Zhendong's words, a slightly delicate man came out of the prison officer, this person's name is Liu Yanping, nicknamed "Feiyanzi", and he hurriedly responded: "Commander Shi, rest assured!" ”
It's just that Chen Zhuo walked and walked, seeing that he was about to reach the exit, his pace slowed down, his eyebrows raised, as if he had encountered something strange, and he looked at a certain cell in the depths of the prison passage without a trace, and his ears trembled slightly, as if he was listening to something.
Shi Zhendong was already quickly ordering, "Okay, you go first, I'll go and gather people, and then I'll arrive, be careful." ”
A few people didn't notice the strangeness in Chen Zhuo's eyes,
And his pace only slowed slightly, did not stay too long, out of the iron and blood prison has been resolute, changed horses, and flew to the horizon.
Liu Yanping followed closely behind......
From Cangzhou Mansion to Chilian Peak, the distance was four or five hundred miles, and the heavy snow sealed the sky, and those people were injured again, Chen Zhuo was confident that he would intercept them halfway.
As long as you haven't reached Chilian Peak, you can save a lot of trouble.
Aside from the three major forces of the past, "Fengyun Dart Bureau", "Changxiao Gang", "Trial Sword Villa" not to mention, there are four major martial arts families, namely Dongbao, Nanzhai, Xizhen, and Beicheng; Although the "Lianyun Village" is a small border village, in recent years, it has become the leading force in the green forest under the management of the big boss Qi Shaoshang, which is still more than the four major families.
But it is not a murderous name, but a righteous name, a chivalrous name, resisting foreign enemies, and doing several big things, so "Qi Shaoshang" is in the limelight for a while.
And this person has a good background, not only related to the "Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall", but also related to the "Broken Cloud Yuan" of "Destroying the Promise City", and once followed Chu Xiangyu.
He crouched on horseback, castrating like an arrow, but he looked at Liu Yanping beside him in surprise.
Also riding a horse, the horses under Chen's seat are not only full of energy, like a good horse for a thousand miles, but also carry bows and arrows, but his mount is not heavy, but it is gradually falling behind.
He didn't know that Chen Zhuo secretly pushed and kneaded the horse's muscles with internal strength, and the two muscles trembled together, so that the burden was greatly reduced, and the people and horses were one.
The two of them flew non-stop and hurried, only until nightfall......
The night was full of snow.
It's getting dark.
Seeing that the horses under the seat were still full of energy, Chen Zhuo slowed down, rolled down from the horse's back, stroked the horse's neck, and there were more layers of hot sweat on his hands.
Although the horse is not tired, the heart and lungs in the horse's belly are afraid that they have reached the limit, the blood is galloping, the temperature is too high, and if they run again, they will die violently, so they have to find a place to slow down first.
Taking off the bow and arrows, Chen Zhuo led the horse slowly, braving the wind and snow.
Liu Yanping, who was behind him, rushed over, grabbed a snow bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "There is Huwei Creek in front, and there are only seventy miles left from the 'Lianyun Village'." ”
His lips were chapped, his face was also cracked with blood, his body was covered with frost and snow, and his eyes were bloodshot, just because the road was from morning to night, and he didn't even stop, and he didn't know what the young man was doing, and he touched his horse, and immediately followed the dragon and the tiger, and the man was like an iron beaten, which was really only seen in his life.
There was a faint light in the dim snow curtain, and it was vaguely visible that it was a small village.
Chen Zhuo's face was full of dust and frost, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, he also grabbed a handful of snow and swallowed it into his mouth, closed his eyes, turned his head and turned his left ear in the direction of the village, and at the same time his nose moved twice, only after a few breaths, he said slowly: "There is blood in the wind!" ”
Liu Yanping's eyes were full of disbelief.
The village is fifty or sixty feet apart, and you can smell it.
Chen Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly, "It should have caught up!" ”
Liu Yanping's heart trembled, "Then how do we act?" ”
Chen Zhuo exhaled lightly, the white mist in his mouth and nose rose, and he thought for a while, "You lead the horse away, I will meet them first." ”
Liu Yanping was surprised: "Don't you wait to lead them?" ”
Chen Zhuo shook his head, "If you go any further, you must not meet the people of Lianyunzhai, so you will kill them here." ”
He took a deep breath like a long whale sucking water in his mouth, the wind and snow poured into his throat, and the thunder sound between his chest and abdomen was agitated, which made Liu Yanping stunned, and when he saw Chen Zhuo's gesture, he hurriedly led the horse to withdraw.
"Ahh
A tiger roar shattered the night sky.
Immediately afterward, twelve figures really turned out in the village one after another, all of them with a cold light, and looked at him.
The wind and snow are furious, and the slaughter is sudden.
Seeing that there was only one person, there were four figures flying towards the wind and snow, and their bodies were like ghosts.
The murderous intent in Chen Zhuo's eyes skyrocketed, and his hideous and evil appearance appeared for the first time here.
As soon as the wind and snow passed, he already had a grotesque and terrifying Rakshasa face on his face, his eyes were faint, his ink hair was flying and agitated, he raised his backhand, hung up four arrows, and was already stringing and opening his bow, as if he had opened a full moon.
