Chapter 168: It's as quiet as a mountain, and it's as moving as fire

This demon Jia Xiu is really arrogant to the extreme, swaggering along the way, but whenever an official goes up to interrogate, without saying a word, he directly kills people!

Therefore, Zhao Qingsong came all the way, thanks to the rolling heads killed by Jia Xiu's gang along the way, plus more than 30 official cars, which was very eye-catching, and it was effortless to find the traces of these people!

When I arrived in Fangshan, I asked the local errand and learned that Jia Xiu's ticket had left Fangshan, and the group went to the southwest!

Zhao Qingsong frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart that you errand boys are too good to eat and straw, and you can't even stop this gang of murderers for a moment, and the local officials have been killed a lot, and these errand boys don't report it, and they don't chase the murderer, and they all act as if this has never happened!

I asked them, and they also said everything about it, as if it was not an official of the Ming Dynasty who was killed, but a cat, a dog, and a chicken, which was completely inappropriate!

The Ming Dynasty was rotten in various places, Zhao Qingsong knew it, but he didn't expect that the officials under the feet of the Son of Heaven could be so rotten so naturally, so insensitive, rotten so ancient!

It was really an eye-opener for him!

However, no matter how bad an official is, he will not do his Zhao Qingsong's business, and he Zhao Qingsong has no power to take care of a brocade guard, and the top priority at the moment is to catch up with Jia Xiu as soon as possible!

Zhao Qingsong called a few familiar people to his side and asked, "What do you think?" Where will this Jia Xiu go? ”

Among the people who came this time, Zhao Qingsong deliberately chose Captain Cao, who was more familiar with him.

Captain Cao is relatively old and has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, he knows that after he was selected by Zhao Qingsong to chase Jia Xiu, a natural bitter gourd face has turned into an old bitter gourd face full of wrinkles!

At this time, Captain Cao saw Zhao Qingsong's inquiry, and replied with a sad face: "Zhao Zhangban, do you still need to ask?" I've heard a lot of rumors that this Jia Xiu is a ghost sent by the ghost city of Fengdu! Where is the helm of this Fengdu ghost town? Not to mention this, everyone in the martial arts knows that the helm of Fengdu Ghost City is on the mountain outside Chongqing Mansion, and this Jia Xiu obviously wants to lead the team back to the helm of Fengdu Ghost City. ”

Zhao Qingsong had heard a lot of rumors about the ghost city of Fengdu, but he didn't know much about what this mysterious sect was about. Where are they now? ”

Although Captain Cao and Zhao Qingsong don't have any deep friendship, the two of them know each other's personalities very well.

Captain Cao knew that Zhao Qingsong's personality looked lazy and kind, but he was actually very strategic, and his martial arts were extremely high, he was a very clever character with a loose outer and a tight inside, he had always admired Zhao Qingsong's personality, he saw that Zhao Qingsong was very convinced of his words, and he shook his spirits and continued: "If they want to go back to Chongqing Mansion, there are many routes, but judging from the letter they got from Fangshan just now, they are going in the southwest direction, and there is only one way to go in this direction!" ”

Zhao Qingsong immediately understood, because if Jia Xiu's gang followed this road in the southwest direction, they had to go through the Bauhinia Pass in Yixian County!

Because if you want to go out of Beijing from the southwest, if you want to cross the Taihang Mountain and enter the ground of Shanxi as soon as possible, you can only take the first Xiongguan in the south of Beijing - Bauhinia Pass!

He was originally a native of Yi County, and he was still familiar with the situation in Yi County, and he probably knew all the roads between the various mountain ranges.

However, it was obvious that Captain Cao was more familiar with these roads than him, so he didn't interrupt Captain Cao's speech and motioned for Captain Cao to continue!

Captain Cao took out the marching map, pointed to the terrain on the map and said: "You see, after they left the Fangshan area, they walked all the way southwest along this Mao'er Mountain, and after arriving at Yidu, because they carried baggage, it was unlikely that they would enter the mountain and go in the direction of Shidu!" Because the mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel, they couldn't get through it at all with 50,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver on their carts! So if they continue to go southwest, they have to take this road at the foot of Qianfoshan Mountain in Yixian County! ”

"Look!" Captain Cao pointed to the shape of the mountain on the map: "To the south of Yishan Thousand Buddha Mountain is Yunmeng Mountain, they have to go to the Guandao Ridge between Thousand Buddha Mountain and Yunmeng Mountain!" I have passed by this place several times in Guandaoling, this road is very narrow and difficult to walk, if we block them here, and then let the local garrison come to reinforce them, they will not be able to fly even if they have wings, they must be caught by us! ”

Zhao Qingsong nodded and said, "Captain Cao said well!" Then let's hurry up and try to rush to Guandaoling before it gets dark, and annihilate them all in Guandaoling! ”

Zhao Qingsong collected the marching map, mounted his horse and galloped, leading the captains straight to Guandaoling!

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Guandaoling, something unexpected happened to him!

Before entering Guandaoling, there was a local army sentry stationed here to set up a card, but when Zhao Qingsong and the others arrived at the sentry post, they found dead bodies everywhere, and there was no one alive!

Obviously, this Jia Xiu also knew that the pursuers sent by the imperial court were chasing them behind, so they were also desperately hurrying!

Jia Xiu's group of people moved much faster than Zhao Qingsong and the others expected!

Zhao Qingsong hurriedly took out the map of the army and asked, "Captain Cao, it seems that Jia Xiu also knows that he is afraid, and he runs faster than a rabbit, where do you think they should go next?" ”

Captain Cao didn't look at the map, and said: "They have no other way, they can only continue along Yunmeng Mountain, cross the Juma River and cross the Bauhinia Pass!" ”

Zhao Qingsong nodded and said, "I heard people say that the Bauhinia Pass should be closed for ten thousand people!" No matter how capable Jia Xiu is, he can't pass through the pass in a moment or three, so we will block them at the Bauhinia Pass, and let the defenders on the pass cooperate with us to wipe out this group of bold thieves in one fell swoop! ”

Captain Cao said worriedly: "Alas?! It's hard to say! How can they run so fast with their baggage? You can also kill everyone with your hands! It is said that this Jia Xiu can suck souls and demons, could it be true? If the Bauhinia Pass can't stop him for a while, when they pass the pass and enter Caijiayu, where the terrain is complicated, there is no garrison in the imperial court, and there may be mountain bandits on the mountain, if Jia Xiu's gang goes to the mountains with a cat, if we want to find them again, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack! ”

Zhao Qingsong looked at Cai Jiayu's extremely loose and extremely large range on the map, and scratched his head with some concern, and suddenly said: "This Jia Xiu can't use common sense, in my opinion, this guy is probably a crazy person, otherwise you look at what he did, what kind of thing can ordinary people do?" ”

Captain Cao's two drooping eight-character eyebrows quickly shook a few times, and he also nodded in agreement: "Not bad!" Zhao Zhangban is right, these few things that Jia Xiu did, ordinary people don't even dare to think about it! ”

Zhao Qingsong put away the marching map and said, "I think the reason why this Jia Xiu ran so fast is not because he was afraid that someone would chase him behind!" This man behaves so swaggeringly and arrogantly that he doesn't take the pursuers seriously at all! I guess the reason why he ran so fast may be for another purpose, so it's best for us to stop them in front of the Bauhinia Pass, and take advantage of the location of the Bauhinia Pass and the defenders to catch them, but even if it's too late, Jia Xiu and they have already passed through the pass, I don't think it matters, so many of them are swaggering and hurrying, it's not difficult to find them! ”

Captain Cao nodded silently.

Zhao Qingsong ordered: "It's going to be dark soon, Jia Xiu's gang is just capable, and they should be almost at the limit after a day of hurrying and hurrying, I guess tonight they will either camp in front of the Bauhinia Pass to rest, or they will pass the Bauhinia Pass to recuperate!" We're already very close to them, the big guy unsaddled the saddle and let go of the horse, let the horse go eat some water and weed, and have a good rest, and the big guy will also eat something and drink some water here to rest! After the three pillars of incense, let's set out to exterminate this gang of daring bandits! ”

The lieutenants answered, put the horses on the side of the forest to graze, sat down in twos and threes, and took out the marching dry food snacks they had brought with them to eat.

Captain Cao and Zhao Qingsong were the most familiar, the two sat together in the shade under the tree, Captain Cao handed Zhao Qingsong a piece of snacks and asked, "Zhao Zhangban, have you heard of Jia Xiu before?" Do you have faith over him? ”

Zhao Qingsong took a few bites and nodded, suddenly thinking that Zhu Miaoying didn't know what was going on now?

Is there a danger to life?

Did she not eat for a day and was still hungry?

Thinking of these questions, Zhao Qingsong choked up, his heart was extremely anxious, and he couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly to the front to rescue her!
