Chapter 143: Interception (Addition)
Yang and Ma looked at each other, and both felt bad.
Ma Hongyue said in a low voice: "The stolen goods are auctioned at the branch of the Chamber of Commerce, how can the city lord of the city know about this? If the mastermind is the end side, he must be on guard against us now, and I am afraid that he will not show up easily. ”
Yang Hengxi nodded.
He is good at charging into battle and killing people, but in terms of delicacy, he knows that he is far inferior to Ma Hongyue.
"But he's not sure when we'll get the news, and he shouldn't have left Liupei yet. I went out into the street and watched, and when I saw him, I would come and let him know. The third shopkeeper thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, he has been very close to Yan Saburo recently, and I have also sent someone to keep an eye on the side courtyard. ”
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the people he had laid out hurried to ask for a meeting.
Ma Hongyue's spirits perked up: "Have a clue?"
His subordinates presented a note: "Yan San did not return home. We found this in the courtyard of Sun's house, and there were two coins of silver on the table. ”
Ma Hongyue took it and glanced at it quickly, his face became solemn: "What about the three Yans?"
Someone immediately went to find Yan Saburo.
Yang Hengxi also took the note, his eyebrows furrowed: "He can't quit the lease, why?"
"Why else?" Ma Hongyue said coldly, "I'm afraid that he found Liu Yizhao's information and found that he was in a bad situation, so he had to sneak away." Or......" he took a light breath, "or he had another purpose in Liupei, and now that the mission was complete, he would retreat." ”
After a while, his subordinates returned that Yan Saburo was not in the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time brought Steward Xu with him.
"What about others?" Yang Hengxi's eyes were full of anger, making Steward Xu's legs tremble.
"He has something at home, so he went back early today. ”
"Slap", Yang Hengxi slapped it, and the new book case that had only been changed for a few days was split in half again.
"Find, rummage through the whole city and find him and Duan Fang! Go to the post station and ask if there are any children who hire a car to go on the road immediately!"
¥¥¥¥¥
After Yan Saburo left the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce, he quickly went to Dongyi.
The Chamber of Commerce was not far from the east gate of the county, and he arrived at the post station after walking a few dozen breaths, bought a jujube red horse at a high price, turned over and rode on, and ran out of the county gate with a smoke.
It was not early, and everyone else had to look for a county, town or village to settle in, but Yan Saburo was not afraid to rush to the night.
At this point, it's important to stay out of trouble.
He galloped along the official road to the east.
This jujube red horse has average foot strength and is a little lazy, Yan Saburo whipped a few times, and it only ran out of more than ten miles.
The farther away from the county seat, the more sparse the pedestrians on the road, and the denser the vegetation becomes.
Walking here, Yan Saburo's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, and the horse's speed slowed down. "The next county seat is forty miles away, maybe we can ...... before the gates are closed."
Before the word "arrive" was spoken, Chitose's hurried warning echoed in his ears:
"Watch the back!"
Yan Saburo pulled the reins to the side and clamped the horse's belly, and the horse was led away by him and jumped out to the side.
At this moment, a beast roar sounded behind him!
Yan Saburo turned around in a hurry, and saw a golden leopard in the jungle on the side of the road, so he jumped over with his horse's stock.
If it hadn't been for his proper reaction, the jujube red horse would have been thrown to the ground by it at this time.
Spotted and at least twice the size of an ordinary leopard, the golden leopard looked majestic, and was even more ferocious than a tiger when it showed its upper and lower pairs of fangs.
The most important thing is that there is still a person sitting on the back of the leopard, and Yan Saburo is very familiar.
End square!
At this time, even Duan Fang smiled at him.
That smile, as gentle as ever.
Without Yan Saburo's urging, the innate fear of the beast made the jujube red horse neigh and run wildly.
The boy strangled several times, but the horse was so frightened that he didn't know how to slow down or turn.
The mountain road is already rugged, and if it goes on like this, something will definitely happen, not to mention, Yan Saburo has actually seen the cliff in front of him.
It's fifty zhang away, and it's just around the corner.
Can't go any further. But the horse was so fast that he jumped off the ground rashly for fear of breaking his leg.
Yan Saburo didn't hesitate to take out a plate of hooks from the bookcase, aimed at the thick branches of the big tree in front of him, and threw it out.
The rope swung twice around the branch, and was just as it was tightened, when the horse also ran under the tree. Yan Saburo grabbed the rope tip, tensed his muscles, and the only bit of true power was poured into his arms-
The horses under their crotches rushed out, but the others were slammed into the air by the hook and stopped, and then swung to the ground.
The force of this jerk is extremely great, and if ordinary people suddenly experience such a pull, probably both arms will be directly separated from the body. Yan Saburo was prepared, and there was a tearing pain in his shoulder, but his arm was still there, and he didn't dislocate it.
In addition to the true power effect, the precious elixir contributed by Chitose over the past month has also invisibly nourished his body and strengthened his muscles and bones.
He had barely fallen back to the ground when he heard a long wail from a red horse in the distance.
Then, there is no then.
The horse fell off a cliff.
Alas, it's a pity that he has two taels of silver. Yan Saburo sighed and dusted off his clothes. Horizontally, he couldn't outrun the four legs of an animal on two legs, so he simply stood still, facing the end of the leopard.
The golden leopard came in a blink of an eye, grinning loudly and roaring in a low voice as if demonstrating at Yan Saburo, but Duan Fang on the leopard's back asked, "You're not injured, are you?"
He even had a concerned look on his face, which was very incompatible with the giant leopard under his seat.
Yan Saburo moved his joints and eliminated the pain, but his face was shocked and angry: "What are you doing!"
Duan Fang patted the leopard's head, like stroking a big cat: "I just want to come to you, blame this guy for being too naughty and scaring your horse." He smiled, "I've only been subdued it for a short time, and this guy is still wild and untamable. I'm sorry, but I'll pay you the money for the horses. ”
Naughty?
Where would Yan Saburo ask for his money, his face was full of vigilance.
Duan Fang seemed to have just remembered his purpose: "By the way, why is San Lang in a hurry to get out of the city? It's getting dark, and if you want to hurry, you have to wait until tomorrow." ”
Yan Saburo shook his head: "I can't wait." ”
"What?" Duanfang's face was full of concern, Yan Saburo was secretly vigilant, knowing that if he said a wrong word, he would cause death.
He settled down, his mind was racing, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I just learned that it was the shopkeeper who released Hu Wenqing and the others. ”
"What?" the answer was obviously unexpected, and he was visibly stunned: "How do you know?"
"The big proprietor and the shopkeeper had a secret discussion, and I heard it. Yan Saburo raised his head and looked him in the eyes to show that he was not lying, "The shopkeeper said that I was just a bait and wanted to use me as a temptation." He knew that Hu Wenqing hated me to the bone and wanted to take my life, so he released them......"
