Chapter 145: The butcher's knife hangs from the neck

After Zhou Yi worshiped Ji En's spiritual seat, he said goodbye to Gordon, drove Niansheng, and went straight to Changsha.

At dusk the next day, fifty miles east of Changsha City, a force of 3,000 men and horses was gathering outside the Baili pine forest. The three thousand iron horsemen were ready to go, the war horses were neighing, the soldiers were murderous, and the commander of the three armies was the man in black who had several confrontations with Zhou Yi.

The night was falling, and at all the intersections ahead, there were constantly scouts coming back to report the situation. The man in black held a sword, his eyes were cold, and he looked directly at the dark pine forest in the distance, and a horse under his crotch was exceptionally strong.

Within an hour, the returning explorers all reported: "General, the road ahead is impassable......

"Probe!"

"Yes!"

The man in black had a gloomy face, and ordered all the soldiers to stand by in place, and not to move without a military order.

Zhou Yi bypassed Changsha City and took the path straight to the pine forest on the east side. Because Nian Sheng was naturally sensitive, he sensed a large number of men and horses gathering on the side of the pine forest twenty miles away, so his steps became more and more vigorous, his eyes widened, and his snort was like a low thunder, and he went straight to the southeast. Zhou Yi has already understood its thoughts, expecting that this hundred miles of pine forest, the road is rugged, the mountains are stacked, even if there are tens of thousands of horses, it is difficult to find the location of Gongsun Mansion overnight, in order to avoid extraneous branches, it is advisable to find Mr. Gongsun as soon as possible, and inform him of today's danger, so as to be prepared. So, he ordered Nian Sheng to keep his voice low and bypass the three thousand enemy soldiers from a path on the north side.

Along the way, he saw more than ten scouts coming to explore the way, and those people never took the original mountain road, but went straight forward in one direction, and the mountains and ravines could not be stopped. What's even more interesting is that every half an hour, they turn around and go back, following the original direction, not a single cent, and so on, and so on.

Zhou Yi first stabilized Niansheng, then stopped and thought carefully for a while, suddenly, a bad premonition flashed through his heart, if this continues, the location of Gongsun Mansion will be exposed in two or three hours! At that moment, he didn't dare to slack off, and he stepped on Niansheng and rushed in the direction of Gongsun Mansion.

After the unitary time, Zhou Yi found the Gongsun Mansion, when the door of the mansion was empty, and the lantern at the door had been hung up.

Zhou Yi was just about to knock on the door, when he saw a slave walking out of the door. Zhou Yi recognized that this person was an attendant beside Mr. Gongsun, so he stepped forward to say goodbye: "Please inform Mr. Gongsun, just say that Zhou Yi wants to see!"

The man was about to come over and close the door, but suddenly heard someone coming over and talking, he couldn't help but be startled, and then heard that it was Zhou Yi, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Zhou Gongzi, please come in!"

As soon as the two finished greetings, Nian Sheng followed, and the man was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back, leaning on the corner of the wall and trembling. Zhou Yi ordered Nian Sheng to retreat and let him wait outside the door. Seeing that such a fierce behemoth could obey Zhou Yi's orders, the man was both curious and frightened, so he pulled Zhou Yi into the courtyard gate.

Walking past the front yard, the man casually asked, "Childe is from the city, why haven't you met the executive's house?"

"Uncle Gaoyuan?"

Zhou Yi was shocked and immediately stood up.

"Is the old man out?"

"What's the matter, isn't Childe really coming from the middle of the city?"

Zhou Yi's palms were sweating, and there were too many possible situations in his heart, he beat his chest anxiously, frowned and asked, "I don't have time to explain, you tell me, did Uncle Gao Yuan go out into the city?"

The man was also a little dazed by his question, nodded and replied: "Yes, he just left, you know, the location of Gongsun Mansion is top secret to the outside world, and every time the executive's family goes out and comes back, it is at night." ”

"Also, I avoided them and came around from the north side, so I didn't meet the old man. As he spoke, he no longer hesitated, turned around and walked out.

The man was puzzled, so he asked, "Since the prince came to the door at this time, there must be something important, but is there anything I need to tell the master?"

Zhou Yi was stunned, his messy footsteps immediately stopped, patted his head with one hand and said, "I almost forgot about the big thing!" turned to him and said, "You go and tell Mr. Gongsun that Zhou Yi came to ask for a meeting, and let them evacuate here immediately!"

The man was taken aback, and guessed that something must have happened, so he didn't ask any more, but based on his words, he didn't see Zhou Yi himself, so he didn't know if he could make Mr. Gongsun believe it. Zhou Yi said: "You just said, Zhou Yi learned that the executive's family was in danger, and he was shocked to come to the rescue, if you tell me, please ask him to take people to evacuate, a moment later, the Gongsun Mansion is at risk of being wiped out!"

The man looked stunned, nodded again and again, and before Zhou Yi finished speaking, he had already run back to report the news.

Zhou Yi's heart was like a fire, he turned around and touched the ground with his feet, floated up, stepped on the green bricks and green tiles, crossed the high wall of Gongsun Mansion, and whistled towards Niansheng, Niansheng jumped up, took Zhou Yi off his back, and ran away in the direction he instructed.

At that time, Gao Yuan drove a carriage slowly, and it was less than twenty miles away from Gongsun Mansion when he was noticed by the sentry who came to explore the way. There was a lantern in the carriage, and he and the other attendant were unaware.

That Tanma was ordered by the man in black to come to find the whereabouts of Gongsun Mansion, and he turned back and forth more than ten times to find nothing, and finally found that someone was haunting the depths of this jungle, and it was very likely that it was someone from Gongsun Mansion. So the man drew his steel knife and tried to kill his followers, and took the old man hostage to guide him.

Unconsciously, Gao Yuan and his entourage had already entered the range of the other party's hunting, and the man was also ruthless, and the entourage of the carriage was killed by him!

Gao Yuan was taken aback, and was about to draw his sword to resist, but the man was young and rich, and before he could make a move, the bloody blade had been added to Gao Yuan's neck. The horse was startled, and the man swung his knife to cut off the bridle, and there was only Gao Yuan and the probe horse in a lonely carriage.

"Who are you, and why are you bothering me as a passing merchant?" Gao Yuan asked in a calm tone without fear.

"Whether you are a merchant or not, go back with me now!"

"Lang Lang Qiankun, do you still have the royal law in your eyesight?"

The man looked up and laughed: "Old thing, open your eyes and see, when has this been, and you still tell me Lang Lang Qiankun? If you are afraid of Wang Fa, your entourage will not die in vain!" As he spoke, the blade had already pressed into his neck, "Don't talk nonsense, come back with me......"

The man was slightly distracted, and was noticed by Gao Yuan, he shook his body, risked being slaughtered, and then suddenly retreated, pulled out a long sword from the car, and fought with the man for a while.

Gao Yuan is over sixty years old, and he has a wound on his neck, so compared to this murderous exploration horse, he naturally has to fall behind.

However, in the dark night, two people came from nowhere, outflanking left and right, one saved Gao Yuan, and the other resisted the probe horse. The situation was urgent, and after rescuing Gao Yuan, the two of them surrounded Tanma one after the other, and shot cleanly, so that the man had no backhand.

Coincidentally, Zhou Yi arrived in a hurry at that time, and saw two people who were going to kill Tanma in the dim candlelight, and hurriedly shouted: "Please stay alive!"

The two of them were taken aback, because they didn't know who was coming, they mistook Zhou Yi for that person's helper, so they killed the tanma with a sword. By the time Zhou Yi rushed over, the man had already lost his breath.
