Chapter 167: The East Wind Rises

There was a shocking explosion in Gongsun's mansion, and it was not only Shi Weng and Zhou Yi who were injured, but also many of the black-clothed people and several masters accompanying him were killed and injured. It's just that the man in black is bold and vicious, and before the gunpowder was detonated, he saw the intention of Shi Weng to push Zhou Yi out of the courtyard. At that time, Shi Weng was desperately entangled with him, making it difficult for him to get out, so he confirmed his conjecture more and more, so he ordered his men to besiege Shi Weng, and he himself escaped from Gongsun Mansion at a critical moment.

Even so, the man in black was burned on his right arm by the sudden fire, and for a man like him who was accustomed to wielding a sword with his right hand, it was undoubtedly a tiger who broke his claws.

Because he saw with his own eyes that Shi Weng pushed Zhou Yi out of Gongsun Mansion, Zhou Yi survived, and for him, it was still the biggest threat. Therefore, he did not personally lead people to search for the whereabouts of the survivors of Gongsun Mansion that day, but only ordered people to take the ruins of Gongsun Mansion as the center, radiate around, and gradually expand the scope of pursuit. At noon that day, three scattered soldiers were captured.

The next thing is logical, the huge pine forest is like a fog to them, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to hunt down dozens of hidden people in Shiweng's territory, so using these three captured captives as bait to lure them to rescue them is undoubtedly the best strategy to lure the snake out of the hole.

Therefore, Gongsun Ji took more than a dozen family members to the rescue, and the opponent was prepared for leisure, and a lightning battle was written at the beginning. They were killed and wounded and nearly ten people were killed, which made the man in black quite excited.

Another day later, Tanma came back one after another to report that the remaining family members of Gongsun Mansion seemed to have disappeared from this pine forest, and no one had ever appeared again.

The man in black seemed to have a plan in his mind, and instructed his subordinates: "As long as their comrades are still in our hands, it is impossible for those who boast of benevolence and righteousness to flee by themselves." The reason why you haven't found their traces yet, it's because the scope of your search is not wide enough, this hundred miles of pine forest itself is the best natural barrier, that old guy is seriously injured, in a day or two, they will definitely not be able to escape, or rather, they will not easily abandon this pine forest. ”

Left and right asked, "So what should we do next?"

The man in black was very displeased when he heard this, his face was gloomy, and he swept the lieutenants around him one by one with cold eyes, "Do you know why he is in a desperate situation this time, and he can still get a way out? It is because he has Zhou Yi by his side, and I only have you by my side! Look at yourselves, all day long you will only ask why! What should you do! Don't you use your own brains and think about the situation they may have now? Ah! This is the reason why my 3,000 elites can't fight against his dozens of old and weak soldiers, do you know? ”

His voice was so loud that the soldiers around him who were trained were terrified when they heard it, and no one dared to say a word more.

After a full moment of stalemate, the man in black looked at the map in front of him again and again, and finally his eyes stayed on a Taoist temple on the south side of Changsha City, outside the pine forest.

Although his eyes did not move, he turned sideways and asked the sentry officer beside him, "What is this Taoist temple?"

The sentinel approached in fear, and after taking a closer look, Fang replied to him: "Back to the master, this place is called Biyunxuan, it was not originally a Taoist temple, and on the first day he came to Changsha, the villain ordered someone to inquire about everything here in detail, including this Biyunxuan." This courtyard was built by the emperor Nan Xun in the previous dynasty, and later it has been used by some literati and writers as a gathering place for teachers and friends, until thirty years ago, a Jinghui real person came here, took this place as his own, opened an altar, preached the scriptures, and slowly became the Taoist temple where the Taoist aunt practiced. ”

"Jinghui Zhenren ......" The man in black lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Can I find out if there are any disciples who practice martial arts in her Taoist temple?"

The sentry officer was stunned, clasped his hands together, and bowed down to plead guilty, "Time is tight, manpower is limited, the villain wants to visit all the places here, naturally he will not be exhaustive, please forgive the master......"

The man in black glanced at him and sighed: "Then quickly send someone to check, including how many people there are, whether they are all women, whether there are people who practice martial arts, and even whether she has anything to do with Gongsun Mansion, you must be as clear as if you are the Taoist priest there, you know!"

"Yes!"

The sentry officer received the military order, and he did not dare to slack off, so he hurried away with a group of men and horses.

The man in black was very bored, and also felt that his sense of distance from the people around him hindered the enthusiasm of his subordinates to serve him, and after a long sigh of relief, he ordered everyone to stay in place and repair, after all, the night before, they also picked up a life under the power of the Xuanyuan Sword.

Even so, he didn't stop searching for Shiweng. While everyone was repairing, he sent a number of people to expand the search area, and once they found any suspicious whereabouts, they immediately reported to him.

At that time, Zhou Yi had already made a plan to hide from the world, and the top priority was to let the black-clothed spies discover the clues he deliberately left for his opponent. Therefore, Zhou Yi sent six people, two people in a team, with the healing medicine he prescribed, and kept running between Changsha City and the dense forest in the southeast of the pine forest.

Sure enough, at dusk on the third day, the range of scouts sent by the man in black gradually expanded, and then they met Zhou Yi's lead unexpectedly. Tanma is also a team of two, when they found that someone was rushing from the direction of Changsha City, they originally wanted to capture it and go back to invite merit, but think about it carefully, how the soldiers of Gongsun Mansion are skilled, they have also seen it, with the two of them, let alone capture each other, I am afraid that if they really want to fight, it will be difficult to save their lives. So they dismounted and walked on foot, and followed the two men for a long time, trying to find him through them.

Zhou Yi had already made arrangements, if he was discovered, he didn't have to kill his mouth, he just pulled down the herbs he was carrying, and then found a chance to leave them alone. So, the two men deliberately dropped the herbs in their arms, pretended not to know, rode their horses, and disappeared into the dim pine forest in an instant.

The two spies followed for a while and were already tired and sweaty, and before dark, they still lost the people, but what made them happy was that the two people were only in a hurry, and they didn't know that the things they were carrying were left behind, and for themselves, although they lost people, they didn't get nothing, so they hurried back with what they had gotten back to recover. The soldiers of Gongsun Mansion did not go far, and when they saw that they had been fooled, they immediately rushed to Biyunxuan to inform Zhou Yi.

At this time, the man in black had already obtained the medicine bags that the two Tanma had found, and after opening them, he couldn't help but be overjoyed after looking at the herbs inside. Then he sent an order to the left and right: "Gather all those who can fight, and immediately march to the pine forest in the southeast!"

Although the people on the left and right were frightened, the staff officers of the marching army still could not be persuaded to advance, so they asked: "At this time, we have already confirmed that the other party is in the dense forest in the southeast?"

The man in black said: "This is all life-saving medicine, presumably that old guy is not lightly injured! No wonder we can't find them these days, this old fox is really hidden enough." ”

Joining the army and said: "Since you are seriously injured, why don't you go to Changsha City for treatment, you know, sending people to get medicine back and forth will inevitably risk being discovered by us......!

"You can call him a man!" the man in black replied casually when he saw that he was frightened.

The military dared to continue, "Since Shi Weng is seriously injured, the medicine he needs is definitely not something that can be helped by running back and forth like this, so why should they bother to delay the road and risk being discovered?"

When the man in black heard this, he looked up on his horse and thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "You reminded me!"

"Are we going to intercept their men along the way, and then force him to take us to find the whereabouts of Seon?"

The man in black shook his head and said, "They are all reckless men who would rather die than give in, even if you kill him, he will not betray that person." Wouldn't it be better for us to wait there instead of going through so much effort to find it?" he couldn't help but laugh a few times.

Joining the army did not understand what it meant, the man in black explained: "You have said that the old thing is so badly injured that it is impossible to save his life by just a few people to fetch medicine back and forth, so I conclude that they will quietly send him to the city at night for treatment." But at first, they didn't want to give up such a good barrier, but fortunately, God helped me, so that the old guy couldn't hold on!"

"Are you saying that we don't have to go to the haystack to find a needle, but instead lie in ambush where they must pass and wait for them to send them themselves?"

The man in black sneered, "This time you've finally opened your mind." In the huge pine forest, we can't do anything to them when the army is in its prime, and now is definitely not a good time to act rashly, so we don't have to run around on our own, just wait. I looked at the map there, and there was a valley to get from the jungle to the city, and other than that, the peaks on both sides had blocked all their routes, so we set up an ambush in the valley, and if the old thing couldn't hold out, they would immediately send him to the city...... I'm going to give them a taste of what it's like to be ambushed!"

After joining the army, he didn't say anything more, and the soldiers on the left and right also began to advocate that the man in black was like a god, and this time he would definitely capture everyone in Gongsun Mansion.

Before leaving, he joined the army and asked for orders to dispose of the three prisoners of war. At this time, the men in black were so complacent that they were almost already fantasizing about catching Shi Weng, and the best way to execute them was to correct their master and servant together. Therefore, only twenty or thirty wounded soldiers were left to stand guard, and everyone else went with him to ambush in the valley.

At that time, Zhou Yi was setting up a tea table in the front hall of Biyunxuan to drink tea alone, and when he heard that someone had come back to restore his life, he learned that the other party had been tricked, so he did not immediately let people go out, but let him continue to run to Changsha City for now, so as to increase the confidence of the man in black to believe in his judgment. Moreover, if you want to act at night, the man in black will be more or less vigilant, and he will not see Shi Weng himself, and he will not take action himself.

"Pass the order, before the fifth watch tomorrow, except for those who want to ignite the gunpowder, everyone else will gather with me in the depths of the dense forest!"

Zhou Yi's eyes shot coldly, staring straight at the red glow burning in the distance, a fire, it is bound to end the grievances between him and the man in black tomorrow morning!

(See who can have the last laugh...... )
