In the temporary camp, after simple recuperation, Lin Ze's injuries were also good.

Hu Hai mobilized a large army with the intention of searching for Zhang Liang and others, but Lin Ze was in an attitude of disapproval and non-opposition.

I don't agree, because he thinks that Mangdang Mountain is so big, throwing 20,000 people into it is really nothing, plus Zhang Liang and others are not weak, encirclement and suppression can be described as difficult, if you are not careful, you will lose your troops and generals, and the majesty of the main general will be weakened.

There is no objection, first, Lin Ze does not want to lose Hu Hai's face in front of others, and second, Hu Hai has mobilized more Praetorian Guards, which will deepen the impression of Hu Hai's chief general, and will be more conducive to bringing him closer to the Praetorian Guard.

Habit is a terrible act.

The Praetorian Guard is worthy of being called the most elite army in Great Qin, Hu Hai ordered that in an hour, all 20,000 Praetorian Guards had rushed to the foot of Mangdang Mountain.

When the real people arrived, Hu Hai was worried, how to deploy so many people?

Suddenly, Hu Hai's eyes lit up, and he found Lin Ze and said lightly: "Lin Ze, weren't you injured by the thief? ”

Lin Ze......

Lin Ze didn't feel anything difficult, so he first gathered drums to review the army to see if there was a shortage of people.

Of course, this is just a routine inspection, and the Praetorian Guard will only be full, where there will be a situation where there will be fewer people.

After Lin Ze came to power, he cleared his throat and said seriously: "Today, Gongzi Hu Hai received a secret report that there were anti-thieves in Mangdang Mountain, so he personally came to investigate, and sure enough, he found that there were anti-thieves in the mountains, and they were strong, so he specially transferred the brothers to come over to search for the anti-thieves. ”

Hu Hai was stunned on the side, this son was obviously out hunting, when did he become a thief to track down? No, it seems to be it again now, but what Lin Ze said always felt that something was wrong.

In order to ensure the safety of the brothers, Gongzi had an order, with a team of 100 people, led by 100 generals, into the mountains to search and arrest. ”

The hundred generals of the Praetorian Guard are at least four-rank cultivators, and with the cooperation of one hundred and thirteen-rank martial artists, they can be connected with special formations, even if they encounter six-rank, they can support a few times, and they will not be completely wiped out quietly.

No matter how many people there are, it is not conducive to the search in the mountains and forests, so a team of 100 people is the best choice.

Lin Ze paused and continued: "Another prince promised that as long as someone can catch the thief, regardless of life or death, he will be rewarded with ten thousand gold immediately. The rest of the helpers will be rewarded with a thousand gold. ”

All of a sudden, the Praetorian Guard, who had been a little silent, suddenly boiled, this is a reward of ten thousand gold, enough for ordinary people to live without worry for a lifetime, and for them, it is also a huge wealth.

I don't know who got up, and suddenly shouted: "Childe is wise." ”

All of a sudden, in the entire grassland where the army was temporarily gathered, the sound of "Gongzi Yingming" became louder and louder, and finally the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests not far away were scattered.

With Lin Ze's order: "Let's go." "The 20,000 Praetorian Guards, naturally, divided into teams of 100 people, entered the mountains and forests.

......

The guard quickly complied with Lu Pheasant's request, drove the carriage over, stopped beside the stream, and said to Lu Pheasant, "Please get on the carriage." ”

Lu Pheasant nodded, opened the car door and bent down and walked in, and suddenly Lu Pheasant shouted: "Wait, come over and see, why is this carriage so messy?"

Hearing this, the guard couldn't help but stick his head into the carriage, only to see that it looked messy inside, and Lu Pheasant looked angry.

The guard hurriedly explained: "The little one doesn't know, the little one just followed the girl's instructions and drove the carriage over, and he didn't look at anything inside, and it really has nothing to do with the little one." ”

Lu Pheasant looked displeased, and said with some disbelief: "Is it?"

The guard cursed: "What the little one said is true. ”

Lu Pheasant waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and drive well." ”

The guard hurriedly retracted his head, sat down in front of the carriage, and drove the horse.

And when the two were talking, Liu Ji had already touched it up from the stream and was close to the back of the carriage.

When the carriage moved, Lu Pheasant immediately opened the back of the carriage and let Liu Ji in.

It turned out that this carriage was specially made by Lu Pheasant, and the back door could be opened so that in the event of an attack in front, it could escape from the back.

After Liu Ji entered the carriage, he immediately bowed to Lu Pheasant silently and expressed his gratitude.

And Lu Pheasant shook his head, saying no, by the way, he pointed to the seat in the carriage, lifted the cushion, and motioned Liu Ji to hide below.

Liu Ji understood, curled up and hid in.

......

The carriage drove all the way to the camp, and Hu Hai immediately ran to the carriage and greeted, "Miss Lu, have you fun today?"

However, the carriage door did not open, and Lu Pheasant's tired voice came from inside: "It's Gongzi Huhai, the little girl doesn't know what's going on today, she is very tired, and she wants to go back to the city to rest first, so she won't meet Gongzi." ”

After hearing this, Hu Hai showed concern: "Then Miss Lu will go back to the city first, and the Japanese prince will look for you tomorrow." ”

Lu Pheasant responded: "Well, the little woman retired first." ”

After speaking, the guards understood and drove the carriage to Shangqiu City.

......

Lin Ze sat in the temporary camp, and from time to time there was corresponding news coming over, most of which were news that the search was fruitless.

Suddenly, a guard came over and reported: "Qi Qi Lin Gongzi, my lord has just found footprints and traces of the carriage on the muddy and sandy ground on the bank of the stream, and my lord deduces that the thief is very likely to get on the carriage and escape, please know." ”

Footprints, carriages, Lin Ze couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, and immediately shouted, "Someone is coming." ”

Hearing this, the two guards walked in and saluted Lin Ze and said, "Please command." ”

Lin Ze said in a deep voice: "Have you ever seen a carriage passing by?"

One of the guards thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is one." ”

Lin Ze hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

The guard replied truthfully: "A quarter of an hour ago, Miss Lu went back to the city in a carriage. ”

Lin Ze's face changed slightly, Tu You stood up, walked out of the temporary tent, and said to the two of them outside in the morning sun and blazing sun: "The two elders will come with me." And a few of you. At last he called another group of guards.

Lin Ze has a hunch, what the hundred generals speculated may be true, but why did Lu Pheasant help Zhang Liang and them, this is something that Lin Ze can't figure out, is it being held hostage?

As soon as Lin Ze turned over and got on the horse, Hu Hai noticed it and immediately asked, "Lin Ze, where are you going?"

Lin Ze turned over the horse and replied, "Go and chase the thief." ”

Hu Hai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "How can such a good thing not be called me?" After speaking, he also got on the horse, looking excited.

Lin Ze said with a wry smile: "If the son wants to follow, follow it." ”

After speaking, he drove his horse and galloped in the direction of Shangqiu City.

Hu Hai followed closely, and behind him were the four palace guards who barely left him.

Half an hour later, a carriage appeared in Lin Ze's field of vision, and Lin Ze shouted loudly: "Stop." ”

The guards driving heard a familiar voice, and when they saw it, it was Lin Ze, the confidant of Prince Hu Hai, and couldn't help but stop the carriage naturally.

Lin Ze rode his horse to the carriage and said in a deep voice, "Please Miss Lu come out and see you." ”

Lu Pheasant replied in a tired voice: "Is there something wrong with Lin Gongzi?" The little woman is a little tired, and it is inconvenient to come out to meet, so please forgive Lin Gongzi. ”

Lin Ze's face was gloomy: "Miss Lu, I'm afraid I'm in trouble." Someone came, fenced the carriage, and all the people were on alert. ”

Lu Pheasant replied in the carriage: "Why did Lin Gongzi say this?"

Lin Ze said loudly: "Zhang Liang, don't hide, do you think I will let you go easily?"

Lu Pheasant replied angrily: "Young Master Lin, what are you talking about?"

Hu Hai also stood up and said, "Yes, Lin Ze, what are you talking about?

Lin Ze replied coldly: "I suspect that there is a thief who has kidnapped Miss Lu, and she is in the carriage at this time, otherwise Miss Lu is also a high-quality martial artist, is she really so weak?"

Hu Hai's face was shocked when he heard this: "Miss Lu, is this the case? Who held you hostage? Say it quickly." ”

"Bang" The carriage door was opened, and Lu Pheasant walked down with an angry face and said, "Lin Gongzi, what nonsense are you talking about, how can someone hold me hostage?"

I saw Lin Ze pull out a short knife, and without saying a word, he directly split the carriage in half with a knife and scattered, so the two horses were frightened, ran a few steps with the wreckage, and were stopped by the guards.

However, the situation of the Tibetan people in Lin Ze's imagination did not happen, and there was no one in the carriage except for Lu Pheasant.

Lu Pheasant shouted, "Lin Ze, are you crazy, why did you break my carriage?"

Lin Ze didn't rush to answer, but stepped forward, pulled out a wet cushion, and said to Lu Pheasant: "Trouble Miss Lu to tell me, why is this cushion wet?"

A trace of panic flashed in Lu Pheasant's eyes, and he replied, "How does the little woman know why the cushion is wet?"

Lin Ze saw it in his eyes, and suddenly realized that it was not a hijacking, but an active cooperation, so he said in a cold voice: "Please tell Miss Lu where the thief went?"

Between the words, the short knife slanted downward, refracting the cold light, and the murderous aura was fully revealed.

For Lin Ze, it doesn't matter if Liu Ji dies or not, a reactionary like Zhang Liang must die.
