Chapter 161: Hand-to-hand combat
"And then you've really met the master?"
That night, Haijiao returned home with good news, and when communicating with his sister in private, Haitang asked so.
Haijiao smiled a little proudly: "I didn't expect that luck would be so good." As soon as I passed the intersection over there, I found a place to hide my body, and within two quarters of an hour, people came. The fish were all caught on their own, so I had no reason to let them go? ”
Haitang pursed her lips, a little unable to see her brother's proud look. But soon she praised him objectively: "This is also your careful and cautious, from the perspective of the secret agent, guessed the route he is most likely to escape, otherwise it is all up to the veterans to surround them, they will place their heavy troops in the wrong direction, I am afraid that the person will really escape!" ”
Haijiao was proud, and he also commented pertinently: "Grandpa Zhang, they are not negligent, the main thing is that their ideas are different from those of the secret agents." They have never dealt with this kind of person before, and they can't feel each other's pulse, so they will make mistakes. But even if I'm not there, the killer won't be able to escape. The intersection I was guarding was not heavily guarded, but there were several of them. The killer wanted to escape surrounded by the crowd, and he couldn't do it alone. It's just that he came suddenly, and everyone was unprepared at the time, but I was the first to react. ”
The veterans have been on the northwest frontier for half their lives, and they have long been accustomed to the practice of military and civilian cooperation against the enemy when the border city encounters the enemy. They all felt that the killer was surrounded, and he must have fled to the mountain first, after all, the mountain is a large place, and there are forests to cover it, so it is easier to escape.
As for the direction chosen by the reef, there are so many people, isn't the killer afraid of being blocked by the dealer? Although this is the Zhuangzi of the Du family, it is impossible for the people on the border of Chang'an to help the gangsters fight against the veterans. The Du family's Zhuang family has been neighbors with the Zhou family's veteran Zhuangzi for decades, so they naturally recognize the faces of the veterans and know who to stop.
The veterans didn't expect that this spy was not from the Northwest Frontier, and it was estimated that he was not a native of Chang'an, so he didn't know the style of the local people at all, and he didn't have the idea of hiding from passers-by. He just disappeared into the crowd as quickly as possible, and the more people around him, the more sure he was of getting by.
The two sides have different ideas, which creates this small loophole. Only three or four veterans were guarding the exit east of Dujia Zhuangzi, and they almost let the killer take advantage of the loophole.
Good thing there is a reef here.
He was trained as a secret agent, and he had a lot in common with the young killer in terms of thinking. Although he chose this intersection with the intention of picking up leaks, it was also because he thought that the other routes that the killer might choose were heavily guarded and he was not needed. As for those routes that he and the veterans thought were impossible to be chosen by the killers, they were only sent to guard them just in case, and even the value of picking up the leaks was gone, and it was in vain to go, and of course he wouldn't waste time.
At that time, the killer rushed out of the village directly, the body is ghostly, the speed is extremely fast, the veterans who searched in the village do not seem to have found it, the veterans who are guarding the ditch outside the village are still looking at the situation in the village, only the reef is the first to find the figure of the killer, immediately open the bow and arrow, and shoot an arrow over.
The killer heard the sound of the wind when the arrow came and narrowly avoided it, and in order to avoid the second and third arrows that followed, he kept jumping and moving, and could not continue to rush out. His escape was hampered, and by the time he found cover to avoid the attack of bows and arrows, the veterans had already swept through the four loaves.
Don't look at the veterans are only holding wooden sticks, nail rakes, hoes and other common farm tools, in the hands of these veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, farm tools can also become a lethal weapon, not to mention the nearby soil slopes, as well as the reef, this archer is condescending, and from time to time he shoots an arrow. If it weren't for the two more accomplices of the killers, who fought with the veterans and bought him a chance to breathe, he would not have found a chance to escape.
During this time, one veteran soldier was wounded, and the other two were at a standoff with the killer's accomplices, and the teenage killer escaped the encirclement. Seeing that he had scurried into the ravine, and that he had cover, and that the range of his bow and arrows was affected, and that he could no longer exert his power as before, he dropped his bow and arrows, drew his dagger, and chased after him.
The two chased each other for miles between the ditches, and there were three or four more hand-to-hand fights, and the reef succeeded in giving each other a knife, and then an accomplice of the other party arrived and shot a few arrows at the reef. The reef retreated to avoid the arrows, so that the young killer took the opportunity to escape.
Speaking of this, Hai Jiao was still choked: "If I had pierced half an inch deeper with that knife at that time, the killer would not have thought of escaping, and even if he escaped, he would have to bleed all the way!" Pity...... In the past two years since I came back, although I have been diligent in practicing martial arts, my strength is still a little worse, and I must work harder in the future! ”
Haitang listened to her brother's thrilling experience, and she was worried all the way. Although he knew that Haijiao would go home safely, and there was no oily skin off his body, only a few bruises from bumps, but I heard that he fought with real knives and guns, how could he not break out in a cold sweat?
She heard that Haijiao was still lamenting that she couldn't leave people behind, and she didn't care about complaining, so she asked directly: "The killer escaped, what about his accomplices?" How many have you caught? ”
"Those who stayed behind the village hall were all arrested, and the one who caught up with them died and was caught, and the last one who came to save people fled with them." Reef couldn't help but sigh again, "They fled into town. Even if I just jumped into those high-walled mansions on the edge of the town, I couldn't chase after them, which was a shame! When Lao Zhangtou and the others came over later, they listened to me tell me the direction, and also tried to go to the town to look around, although they found some traces, but they really didn't know which house the killer hid in later, so they had to send people to guard several intersections, and then told the prefect yamen about it. But no one is sure whether the yamen of the government can catch people. ”
At most, officers and veterans can stop people dressed suspiciously, but if the young killer and his accomplices swagger away in a carriage like a normal resident of the town, the veterans will not be able to stop the car and search it! And there are rich families in the town who have summer houses, who lacks carriages?
Now, the people sent by the prefect and the veterans who stayed in the town can only inform the servants guarding the courtyard from house to house, so that they can beware of uninvited guests at home.
I don't know when this matter will come to fruition, and when Lao Zhangtou saw that it was not early, he let Haijiao go home first. He doesn't have to worry about the rest of the matter. Haixiya has just returned to Chang'an to take up his post, which may offend the envoys of the local big families in Chang'an, so it's better not to let a half-old child on the reef get involved.
Haijiao was still a little guilty about this: "I couldn't catch people, but Grandpa Zhang, they didn't blame me at all, they praised me for being clever and hurting the killer, and comforted me not to take it to heart, saying that they would definitely find people out." I just hated myself for not being able to work harder. In fact, the person who came to shoot the arrow at me later was so accurate that I didn't need to be afraid, even if I was hit by an arrow, it would only be a flesh wound, as long as I stabbed the killer as soon as possible, so that he could no longer escape. Why didn't I think of that? ”
Haitang couldn't help but glare at him: "What nonsense is my brother talking about?!" You're not a low-level agent whose life is worthless. If you are really injured, what will your family think?! ”
Haijiao was immediately annoyed by his words, and said with a smile: "Little sister, don't worry, I'm joking." ”
Haitang didn't quarrel with him, but continued to ask the matter: "I thought that there was only one killer left, why did he suddenly have so many accomplices?" ”
