Xiao Lu and the two of them were cleared of obstacles by the messengers, and as soon as they got out of the canyon, they heard a huge explosion, and the smoke was billowing in the valley, sparks were dancing, and the cliffs on both sides were shaken by this explosion, and countless stones mixed with many figures fell into the smoke and fire, and the screams were endless, a scene of hell on earth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It was the gunpowder that exploded. Lu Guan Zhongdeng remembered the cart of gunpowder, and then looked at the cliffs on both sides, and found that there was no movement on it, knowing that even if he led his troops to catch up at this moment, it would be useless, so he led everyone away from the canyon again to prevent the gunpowder from breaking out again.

Xiao Bei lowered his head and pondered, and after a long pause, he said: "Zhang Xianzhong has lost half of his manpower before, why can he kill Zuo Liangyu's military god unknowingly?"

Lu Guan Zhong was also puzzled, thought hard for a long time, and suddenly said with a frightened face: "Could it be that he used the Senluo Method?"

Xiao Bei's expression was grim, and he said, "If he can use the power of the immortal body at will, there is no need to fight Zuo Liangyu with an army before." I'm afraid that he has certain conditions for using this Senluo method, and he can't do it at will. ”

Lu Guanzhong scratched his head and said: "Where did Zuo Liangyu's army go? It may not have been really defeated by Zhang Xianzhong's more than 10,000 people, right? But even so, someone will be able to escape back to Chengdu, and there will be no news at all." ”

Xiao Bei said: "There are two ways to go now, first, we will return to Chengdu immediately and wait for the message from the left army." Second, we went deep alone to find the whereabouts of the left army. ”

Lu Guanzhong hesitated for a moment, and then said categorically: "Naturally, go to pursue, otherwise, if the left army really surrenders to Zhang Xianzhong, even if we are trapped in Sichuan, we will have no chance of winning." ”

Xiao Bei nodded and said, "Okay, but we must not march too quickly, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap again." We only need to be cautious, and with the power of these 500 messengers, no matter how strong the enemy is, even if he is not victorious, he will be able to escape. ”

The two discussed properly, took out the map, and pondered carefully, only to feel that the mountain roads in the middle of the river were rugged, and Zuo Liangyu's army of 50,000 had no other way to go, so they could only advance along the road under their feet. However, he chased all the way, and did not find the corpses of weapons along the way, and it was clear that the enemy did not have a fierce conflict with them.

Suddenly, Xiao Bei patted his head and shouted: "So that's the case, no wonder we can't catch up with Zuo Liangyu." ”

"What's going on?" Lu Guanzhong asked with a surprised expression.

Xiao Bei frowned and said, "It is estimated that Zuo Liangyu has already set off to pursue the enemy not long after we went to Dujiangyan, and he is in a hurry, so he has no time to inform me and others." Due to the long days, the traces left by the original left army along the way have faded, and the enemy has made some new marks in order to lure us in. ”

Lu Guan Zhong said: "What do you mean...... Zuo Liangyu wasn't killed, he just left a few days before us?"

Xiao Bei nodded, and rechecked the footprints he had tracked before, and found that there was indeed a layer of footprints under it, but it was not very significant, and it was covered by the fresh footprints on it, and if you didn't look closely, you would never be able to find it.

"Master, that's really the case!" Lu Guanzhong became excited, and immediately ordered: "The whole army continues to move forward to find Zuo Liangyu's whereabouts. ”

Xiao Yi said: "This footprint is no longer visible, and it cannot be traced by this." But the left army was such a behemoth, and the speed of the march between this mountain road would surely slow down, and the traces would become more and more obvious. All we had to do was follow the road north, keeping an eye out for signs of marching along the way. ”

The two discussed properly, so they led the army, quietly found the way, and continued to march north.

After walking for a long time, as Xiao Bei expected, a lot of traces of knife splitting the road were found all the way in a mountain forest, and a road about five zhang wide was created in the forest. Xiao Lu and the others finally relaxed and continued on their way.

Along the way, everyone was cautious, and whenever they encountered a dangerous place, Xiao Cheap had to go to investigate it in case of accidents. As a result, a lot of ambushes were discovered. However, the number of these ambushes was small and there was no threat at all, and Xiao Bei used the Yin and Yang Thunder to solve them alone, which also made these ambushes have no time to send out signals. If one day passed, Xiao Beilin killed nearly 1,000 enemies, and also kept the army worry-free.

When everyone walked to a slightly flat place, Lu Guanzhong ordered to rest on the spot, so the messenger cut down trees and made fires, hunted and picked fruits, caught fish and mushrooms, had a good meal, and then closed their eyes and went to sleep.

Lu Guanzhong set up fire silk ropes on all sides of the camping place, so that if an enemy suddenly attacked, he could also perceive it first. After resting like this all night, the next morning, everyone was full of spirits and went on.

After three days of such a cautious march they came to a village.

This village is built on the mountain, which is not very different from ordinary villages. But there is no farmland next to the village, but there are plantations with tall trees and colorful fruits on them.

As we approach the end of the day, the roads in the village are empty, the houses are full of chickens and dogs, and the plantations are full of busy figures, and the whole village looks peaceful and peaceful in the sun.

Xiao Bei used his heavenly eyes, probed, and said: "There is no enemy ambush in the village, we can go in and rest for a while, buy some food from the villagers, and give them some silver taels when the time comes." ”

Lu Guanzhong nodded, and immediately led the envoys into the village. However, after going around the village a few times and not meeting half of the villagers on the road, Lu Guanzhong became impatient, and immediately came to a slightly larger house, and shouted outside the door: "Fellow in the house, can you open the door?" ”

The shouting passed, there was no response in the house, Lu Guanzhong shouted a few more times, but there was still no answer in the house, but there were cows and chickens behind the house from time to time, it seems that there should be people living in plainly.

Xiao Qiqi said: "There are obviously people in this house, why don't you answer?"

Lu Guanzhong became anxious and shouted, "Offended!" With that, he pushed open the door and walked inside.

The light in this room was dim and unclear, the air was dull, and it seemed that the door had not been opened for ventilation for a long time, Lu Guanzhong opened the window casually and looked at the situation in the house.

I saw a stove, an earthen table, two earthen chairs, a cupboard, and a pile of weeds in the house. There was nothing else, Lu Guanzhong patrolled left and right, and found nothing else, just wanted to walk to the back of the house, when suddenly the weeds moved, it seemed that someone had turned over in it, and then a human leg stretched out from it, trembled a few times, and then froze.

Lu Guanzhong was taken aback, and just wanted to step forward to take a closer look, when suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Guest, what's the matter?"

Lu Guanzhong turned his head and saw a middle-aged village woman walking into the back door, who was born thick and strong, with a ruddy complexion and a very simple appearance.

Lu Guanzhong put his mind at ease and said, "Fellow, I'm sorry, I called a few times, and when I saw that no one answered, I entered." I hope you will forgive me. ”

The village woman said, "It doesn't matter, what's the matter with you?"

Lu Guanzhong arched his hand and said: "We came from afar, passing by here, and wanted to buy some rations, but I don't know if you can collect cash here?"

"Harvest, harvest, but we don't have anything to eat, only corn bale. The village woman said.

"Corn is fine, the more the merrier. Lu Guan Zhongxi said, "We will pay according to the market price, and we will never take advantage of you." ”

The village woman happily agreed, then turned around and walked to the back of the house, then dragged two large bags of corn out, put them in front of Lu Guanzhong, and said, "My family only has so much, so I will accept you two taels of silver!"

Lu Guanzhong saw that her price was not high, obviously this villager had a simple style and had no intention of bullying outsiders. Without hesitation, he took out a few taels of silver, stuffed them into the peasant woman's hand, and then picked up two bags of corn and left.

At this moment, the haystack moved again, and out of it came a man who was born short and stout, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, dressed as a villager, but his eyes were blank, and the corners of his mouth were drooling, and he looked like dementia.

The peasant woman looked nervous, and stepped forward to reprimand: "You stupid man, you go to bed in the morning and at night, but you don't work." Alas, if you want to sleep, you can sleep, don't disturb the guests. ”

Lu Guan Zhongxin said: "This peasant woman is also virtuous, her husband is idle, and she does not dislike it." ”

While thinking about it, the villager's body suddenly trembled, his eyes became more and more cloudy, and a black line appeared on his head, muttering: "Kill, kill." ”

The village woman hurriedly stepped forward to push him, stuffed him back into the grass, turned around and smiled at Lu Guanzhong: "Fellow, don't mind, my man has a bad brain......

Lu Guanzhong was suspicious in his heart, and just wanted to ask, but suddenly the man's movements intensified, roared wildly, pushed the village woman away, and shouted: "I'll kill you!"

Lu Guan Zhong was shocked, stretched out his palm and pushed it on his forearm, gently pushed the man's paws away, and didn't care about the corn, then retreated sharply and floated out of the house.

The man was not discouraged, still showing his teeth and claws, and chased after Lu Guanzhong.

Lu Guanzhong didn't want to cause the public anger of the villagers, so he didn't want to hurt the person's life, so he shot out a fire silk, pierced into his skin, and caused the fire silkworm to inject toxins.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Xiao Bei and the executive envoy gathered around and asked Lu Guanzhong.

Before Lu Guanzhong could answer, the village woman rushed forward and replied, "It's okay, my man is crazy, and I almost injured this fellow, I'm really embarrassed." ”

With that, the village woman carried the man on her shoulders and walked into the house without looking back, and then threw out two bags of corn from the house, and the door slammed shut.

"Why are you so good at offending people?" Xiao said reproachfully.

Lu Guan Zhong pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with a solemn expression: "This man is only afraid that he is a disciple of the Seven Killing God Sect......

When Xiao Bei heard this, his heart sank, and he also lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "No, this man is not." The real believer is afraid that it is the village woman. (To be continued.) )
