Chapter 103: Thunder Punishment
The peak he was on was not very high, but he was standing halfway up the mountain, and he was also condescending. Therefore, after seeing those fires, he turned his face to look farther away, and gradually found that there were still some dots of light connected into a line that was slowly moving, and it was estimated that there were nearly 100 people.
It should be the road to Zhangshan, and look at the speed at which the firelight moves, it is galloping on a horse.
Then it should not be the people of the Kongming Society, but the people of the government and the yamen. Although the Kongming Society is powerful, most of them are ordinary people, and the one who can use so many horses should be the government army in the city - at least the government army is the main one.
Li Bochen said hello secretly, turned around and walked back to the cave. He first stuffed Sui Ziang's mouth and dragged him inside. The bonfire crackled in the stone stove where the horse's meat was smoked, and it was in the stone path, and even if anyone shouted under this mountain, he could not hear it.
He tore off the last part of his robe, and wrapped up his severed hand and wooden plaque. Then I tried to move my left arm, and I felt a sharp pain. His heart was wide and he knew that this arm could not be discarded, so he walked out of the cave and jumped off the stone platform.
Halfway up the mountain, it didn't look far away, but it took three hours to walk through the forest at night to the firelight. He stopped on a ridge and heard the shouts echoing through the woods getting louder and louder. Those people shouted "Sui Gongzi".
At this time, the people who searched the mountain were already very separated, and most of them were in pairs, and each group was nearly a hundred steps apart. It is difficult to walk at night, and I am afraid of causing a mountain fire in this season, so the progress of the search is very slow, and even half of the main peak of Zhangshan has not yet been found. According to this method, it is impossible to find your hiding place.
Li Bochen stood behind a tree and looked carefully, and found the outermost group. The two men were indeed wearing the soft armor of the government soldiers, and they carried knives around their waists. One held a torch, and the other put his hand to his mouth and hissed weakly: "Sui Gongzi——"
It's not to blame them for not having to do things. I shouted three o'clock in the mountains on a winter night, and even if the two of them rotated, their voices were hoarse. The two men walked a little further, and then they both sat down to rest. Li Bochen tiptoed closer to a dozen paces away in the night and heard the two talking.
The short one said, "Find a fart, maybe I'm going to have a good time." He's a son, who dares to touch him? I've heard that he's still a cultivator, and wild beasts can't hurt him. ”
The tall man took out a piece of bread from his bosom and broke it, and said while eating, "Okay, let's rest and walk again." ”
After a moment of silence, he swallowed something and said, "We're kind of brisk." My uncle and nephew were soldiers in the north, and they didn't believe in them these days, and maybe they were gone. ”
The short man took half of the bread in his hand, sighed, and said after a while: "Alas, yes." ”
The two of them ate silently, took two sips of water from their water bladders, and got up with a sigh.
It seemed that the two of them didn't know what was going on in the mountains, so Li Bochen was relieved. When the two of them reached the bottom of the mountain beam, he walked lightly in front of them and hid behind an old tree. The short man held the torch first, and as soon as he poked his head out, Li Bochen kicked his foot, and a stone hit his ankle. The man was about to fall down with a bang, and his feet were about to fall, Li Bochen grabbed his torch and slammed it behind his head.
The man didn't even look at him, and he fainted to the ground.
The man behind didn't know what was going on at this time, and just as he was about to speak, Li Bochen stopped at his throat with a finger: "Don't make a sound." ”
He was dressed in bloody clothes, his hair was disheveled, and his face was reflected by the flickering light of the fire, which was really ghostly. The tall man was stunned for a moment, and a sense of horror appeared on his face, and he was about to scream subconsciously. Li Bochen sent the finger that stopped at his throat forward, and the man swallowed the words back.
But he still didn't calm down, took two steps back, clutched his throat and sat down on the ground staring.
Li Bochen also squatted down and approached him: "Don't be afraid, I won't trouble you, I just ask you to send something." ”
The tall man was stunned for a while, only to realize that he nodded again and again, ahhhh
Li Bochen took out the cloth bag from his arms and said, "I am the commander of the Infinite Army, my name is Li Bochen." This thing is going to be sent to Zhangcheng Mansion to govern Sui Yilian, do you understand?"
At this time, the man was finally able to barely speak, and nodded again and again: "Ming, understood." ”
"Repeat. ”
"Are you...... Plum...... Li ......"
"Li Bochen. ”
"Right...... You are Li Bochen, this, this burden, give it to Sui Yilian. ”
Li Bochen nodded and handed him the burden, and the man hurriedly reached out to take it. After starting it, it seemed to feel cold, and after taking a look, I saw the blood stains on my hands, and my body trembled again.
Li Bochen said: "Brother, you are in big trouble now." I won't hide it from you, inside is one of Sui Ziang's hands. ”
The man's face immediately turned pale, and he almost dropped the cloth bag.
Li Bochen said again: "I am not a kidnapper, nor am I a wicked person, but Sui Gongzi's life is in your hands now." After a while, when he woke up, he told him that he had fainted, and then continued to look for people in the mountains. When you go back, I'll find a chance to hand it over to Sui Yilian. ”
"Take my word to heart and do as I say. Well done and you'll be fine. If something goes wrong, or if you're afraid of getting into trouble and simply throw it away and let someone else see it, the trouble will really come to you. ”
This person didn't seem to know what to say at this time, so he could only nod his head. Even though it was a winter night, sweat was oozing from his forehead. When Li Bochen saw him like this, he sighed in his heart. first broke Sui Ziang's hand, and then pulled this soldier in, and he didn't do both things satisfactorily. But it had come to this, and he had to be a wicked man. Fortunately, if this person obediently listens to himself, the people in the government and the yamen should not embarrass him, and maybe give some reward money to seal his mouth.
He handed the man the torch again and stood up. He was about to fly back into the darkness, but suddenly he saw the sky light up, and the light was shining!
For a moment, he wondered if the leader of the Zhangcheng Assembly had used some great supernatural power to make the day look like day. But the next moment, when I looked into the sky, I saw a flash of lightning that kept flickering!
All lightning is fleeting. Even if you stay for a long time, it will bend and spread, and change shape. But now the one that appears in the Zhang Mountain is straight—rushing down from the zenith, like a pillar supporting heaven and earth.
When Li Bochen raised his eyes to look at it, it hadn't disappeared yet, but it seemed as if there were one shock wave after another blasting down along this pillar of light. He immediately realized that the "eighty-one thunder punishments" mentioned by Zhang Shanjun had come.
The lightning was silent, but Li Bochen's heart was rumbling. He used the Heavenly Punishment Spell in the morning, but the electric light attracted by that kind of spell was really not worth mentioning compared to the thunder pillar in front of him, I am afraid that it is a hundred or a thousand ways combined, and it is worth its eventuality.
This...... Is it the power of the spirits in the netherworld?
