Chapter 36: Running for Your Lives
At noon, in Liujiazhai, in the lobby of the main entrance, there was a person kneeling at this time.
This man has thief eyebrows, two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, and countless cuts on his clothes, as if they have been cut by tree branches. His head was next to the ground, and there was a mark of blood next to him.
He was covered in sweat, and although his scalp was knocked and soaked in sweat, the stinging pain was unbearable, but he didn't dare to make the slightest movement. It's just a pair of eyes, turning left and right, and seeing the two rows of strong men standing still next to him, his face full of anger, and he cried out in his heart.
At this moment, a person ran in from outside the hall, looked at the head of the hall, and half-knelt down and said: "Great master, the Black Wind Village is gone! There is indeed a circle of trees planted there! The inside has already been burned out!" His lips trembled, and his face turned pale.
The kneeling man, when he heard this, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if his whole body had been drained of strength, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Well, got it. Go for yourself. There was an indifferent voice from above, and then he seemed to say to the person kneeling below, "Sun Accounting, you can say it again!"
"Yes!" replied in a trembling voice, which was called Sun Ledger, and then wiped the sweat from his face with covert movements, and slowly raised his head.
What caught my eye was a chair carved from fine pear blossom wood. On this chair, there sat a man with a white face and beard, with narrow lips and eyes, dressed in fur, and at this time holding a porcelain cup, slowly blowing tea.
His hand holding the teacup has a wide palm, thick knuckles, and a thick callus on the tiger's mouth. After saying a word at the moment, he didn't look at the sun's account room, but just stared intently at the tea in front of him.
Sun Shufang didn't dare to slack off, and after answering, he immediately said: "I originally followed your instructions, master, and I have arranged for the undercover brothers to pretend to be sentry, ready to intercept and kill the people who are returning, so as to maintain the situation of no food in the village, so as to turn back and provoke people's hearts, and lead the crowd to kill that Liu Huquan, so as to lead the fleeers back." ”
The big boss put the teacup on the table, and then tapped his fingers on the table.
Sun Shufang trembled, and hurriedly continued: "But in the middle of the night, there was a sudden knocking sound, and when I went out to take a look, I found that many people around were rushing to the front of the village. ”
"At that time, I grabbed a person to ask, and he told me that a demon had killed all the guards under the mountain, and planted a bunch of trees around the cottage, and surrounded it. I also learned that this demon immediately stepped on a tree and fell from the sky, and Liu Huquan had just secretly instructed his men to get weapons in order to fight. ”
I was a little unconvinced, so I asked a few more people, but the rest of the people were all the same. Sun said for a while, and wiped his sweat again, "I wanted to go to the front to check, but after a while, I couldn't hear any sound outside, presumably the people in the village were poisoned by the demon." ”
"I was thinking about the lord at the time, knowing that Liu Huquan was out of our Liujiazhai, I was afraid that the demon would find here, and I was afraid that the lord would be defenseless, so I finally escaped with great hardship, and hurried to report to the master. ”
After the big boss finished speaking, he paused for a while, and smiled inexplicably: "Report the news, I'm afraid you just want to run for your life at that time!"
"No, no, the little one never had this intention, he was really thinking about the old man at that time!"
"That's fine. What the hell do you think, I don't know, and I don't want to know. But there is one thing, how to say that you still do something bad, just this point, you have to die!"
"My lord spares his life! The little one will do his best for you! You will spare me for the sake of the little one who has no merit and hard work!"
"If you want to live? That's easy, I'll give you a way to atone for your sins. Now you take someone to the nearby Happy Horse Village, and in any case, you have to bring me reinforcements! How about it? Can you do it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I can, I can, I can, I will definitely get things done this time!" said Sun Shufang vigorously.
"Well, what are you doing here?"
"The little one is going!" said Sun Ledger, and hurriedly retreated, walked out of the hall, and turned and ran towards the stables.
Watching Sun Ledger walk away, the big boss said to his subordinates standing in two rows on the left and right: "You guys follow closely, don't let him run away!"
"Yes!" the two rows of men responded, and they lined up out of the gate and walked in the direction of the stable.
After everyone left, the big boss walked out of the hall and asked his men guarding the door, "Where are the people who have gone south?"
"Master, the spies under the mountain have just sent news, saying that half a day has passed, and no one has been seen until now!"
"Hmm...... You go and call the second, third, and fourth masters!
"Yes!" the subordinate replied and ran away.
The big boss waited at the door for a while, and after a while, three people came from afar, and when they came to the big boss, they arched their hands and said, "Big brother, pack up!"
The big boss nodded, and then said to his subordinates who came back from the side: "You will send another order to the whole stockade! Just say to tighten up your precautions and take out all the equipment that can be used! There may be a fierce battle today!"
"Yes!" the subordinate said with a solemn expression, and then ran away.
In a short time, traps were spread everywhere throughout the stockade, and several figures were hidden in every hidden corner. In particular, a tall wooden wall was erected in front of it, and on it stood men with bows and arrows, patrolling around.
Everyone in the stockade was stepping up their guards, but the four masters went out of the back door of the stockade at this time and went down the mountain.
The four of them carried a few burdens and led the horses down the slope slowly, compared to the hooves of donkeys, the hooves of horses are not easy to walk on mountain roads. However, if it is for galloping on flat ground, horseback riding is preferred.
This is the plan of the big boss and his group of four.
They walked for a long time and finally came down the mountain. Further along the trail under the mountain, passing through several mountains and passing through a forest, it is the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, where there is a flat official road for a few people to run for their lives.
They did not stop, but mounted their horses and galloped northward.
At this time, the Sun account room had already come to the foot of Happy Horse Village.
He looked at the people beside him and said with a smile: "Urgency, I'll go and relieve my hands first." ”
"I'll go with it. A man who seemed to be the leader said, without the slightest change in his face.
Sun Shufang laughed dryly: "Mm-hmm, okay." ”
The group walked to the forest next to them, untied their trouser belts, and untied them a little.
At this moment, a foul smell suddenly came from the side.
When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly covered their noses, only to hear the Sun account room seem to be panicked: "Oops! I ate something unclean in the morning, and I just ran away!"
"You!" the leader was so angry that he had just said half a sentence and quickly shut his mouth.
That smell, it's so choking!
"I'm sorry, that'...... It's not okay not to go up the mountain, right? When the time comes, I'll have to talk to you, so why don't you go find out if there is any cloth or clothing or something, and I'll try it and change my pants. Sun Shufang said with a smile.
"Hey, hurry up, hurry up!" the leader beckoned to the others, who had long been unable to bear it, and ran out of the woods together, returned to the horses, and turned to the woods and shouted, "Settle it yourself!
It's just that his voice fell for a while, and he didn't see a response, and the leader realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly led everyone into the woods.
When they went in, there was no human figure, only a pair of rotten pants with, half-hung from the trunk of a tree.
When the leader saw this, he scolded: "Straight lady thief! Use this kind of indiscriminate means! In this direction, you go! The rest of the people, come with me!" Then the soldiers divided into two roads and searched through the woods one after the other.
After a while, when everyone was far away, a figure suddenly appeared in a bush under the branch with rotten trousers.
This person is bare-chested, with a little yellow on his legs, and he is Sun Jiaofang himself.
He probed slightly, saw that there was no one around, and quickly took out a spare pair of pants from his arms, put them on, and got out of the woods. When he came to the horse, he took out the dagger he had brought with him and stabbed it lightly under his side. The horse was frightened, neighed, and ran away in an instant.
After a few moments, all but their own horses ran away, when there was a shouting in the woods, and apparently those men heard the sound and rushed back.
Sun Shufang hurriedly turned over his horse, clamped his legs, and galloped away on the horse, leaving a few people who had just rushed back to eat ashes behind.
Sun Ledger ran away, and couldn't help but smile proudly, as if he remembered something, he took out a money bag from his arms, which contained a pile of gold leaves that he had prepared in Heifeng Village earlier.
He was still galloping down the road by his horse, and he looked through the bag, but he did not see that a figure suddenly descended in front of him, and slammed it to the ground with a thud.
The frightened horse neighed, stopped and raised his front hooves, knocking down the grandson's tent, who had just barely stabilized his body.
Sun fell to the ground, and a pile of gold leaves were scattered in the open money bag in his hand. He didn't care about what was happening in front of him, so he quickly turned over and searched around for scattered gold leaves.
At this moment, a hand appeared in front of him, holding some gold leaves, and at the same time, a voice came: "Now, some have fallen to my side...... Hmm, why does it stink so much!"
Sun didn't have time to thank him, and after hearing the voice, he didn't even dare to ask for the golden leaf, so he screamed and hurriedly climbed away a few steps.
He recognized the voice, and after waking up that day by the sound of a knock, he heard it, and when he looked back, he knew that it was the voice of the demon.
At this moment, it was the demon in front of him, and Sun Shufang thought to himself: "It's over!
