Chapter Twenty-Seven: Two Groups of Horses

The caravan passed through Brain Mountain, getting closer and closer to Changliang Bay.

Li Shouzhong has been thinking about what happened and the people he saw in Mizhi County today, and he was silent on the way back.

Seeing that he was about to enter the village, he seemed to wake up suddenly, and now, he finally noticed something unusual.

The vast majority of people in the village have never left this poor ravine in their lives, and outsiders rarely go to the poor mountain village of Changliang Bay, unless they are passing by to Li Jiqian Village. And today, there are many strangers dressed as farmers along the way, looking in a hurry.

Li Shouzhong's eyesight is extraordinary, and he can see at a glance that they all have martial arts and hidden weapons.

He was silent on the surface, secretly on guard.

As soon as I entered the entrance of the village, I found that the village was full of chickens and dogs, and the people were noisy, and there were more than a dozen heavily armed cavalrymen searching from house to house, and the people of the whole village were panicking.

"What the hell is going on, who are those pretenders? Could it be that what the Third Elder said is from the Ai family? And what are these officers and soldiers doing? Could it be that they have the same purpose, and what are they also looking for?"

One question after another appeared in Li Shouzhong's heart, and he couldn't help urging the horse to leave quickly, trying to figure out the situation as soon as possible.

"Wait!" Suddenly, an urgent shout suddenly came from behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Gao Jie flying down from the carriage, agile, like an ordinary Orion's child.

Surprised, Li Shouzhong was about to ask a question, but Gao Jie eagerly saluted him first and said: "Thank you Uncle Li for taking the kid to the county magistrate today, my family has an emergency, and the kid will retire first!"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Li Shouzhong to reply, he saw Gao Jie's figure flickering, and he disappeared on the mountain road at the head of the village with a few moves, looking in the direction of going down Donkey Mountain.

Li Shouzhong didn't expect this son of Orion to be so superb, looking at the mountain road where Gao Jie's figure disappeared, he came back to his senses for a long time.

He turned his head to look at the carriage, only to see Li Hongji and Li Guo also staring blankly at the direction where Gao Jie had gone, with blank expressions. He thought about it, and felt that now was not the time to ask, so he finally swallowed back the question that had already reached his lips, shouted, and continued to walk towards the village......

Gao Jie's sudden departure, Li Hongji and Li Guo were also confused, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.

On the mountain road, Gao Jie exerted his "Phantom Lotus Transformation" with all his might, and ran wildly towards the mountainside of the lower donkey.

The suspicious people along the way and the sudden appearance of officers and soldiers in the village made his worries even stronger, and he even had a premonition that something was going to happen at home.

If the Ai family is really the mastermind of chasing and killing Xiao Zhuxin, then for more than ten days, they will never give up, and they should also find Changliang Bay, and those pretenders on the road are only afraid that they are the search experts sent by the Ai family.

As for the cavalry searching in the village, it seems that it is the cavalry that set off from Mizhi County, whether they are in a gang with the Ai family, Gao Jie is not sure, but I heard that the master has said that the Ai family and the government have very close contacts, and this possibility cannot be ruled out.

In other words, their goal is likely to be the same, that is, a small congratulatory letter hidden in the house!

Thinking of his parents and the cheap brother at home, Gao Jie was even more anxious, and ran all the way, praying for God's blessing and not to have an accident.

Soon, turning the hillside, Gao Jie saw his home, and there were already three strangers dressed as mountain people in the courtyard, arguing with Gao Ting and his wife, and the voices were getting louder and louder.

Gao Jie's ears were sharp, and when he heard the meaning of the three people, they really wanted to enter the house to find someone, but Gao Ting and his wife naturally refused, and they fought hard to stop them.

Gao Jie thought for a moment, did not enter through the main entrance, but quickly went around to the mountain beam on the side of the cave, in a hidden mountain gap, moved a large pile of wild grass, and suddenly revealed a half-human high cave.

This cave tunnel was dug out in advance by Gao Jie with a small congratulatory letter a few days ago, in case of emergency. Without hesitation, he stooped in, unable to cover the entrance to the cave.

Soon, Gao Jie came out from under the kang in his room with loess, lifted the mat on the kang and leaned out, and he saw the small congratulatory letter hidden behind the door at a glance.

Xiao Zhuxin was wearing the coarse cloth clothes that his mother had changed from tall old clothes, and was listening to the movement outside against the dilapidated wooden door, when he suddenly saw Gao Jie appear, he was overjoyed and threw himself into Gao Jie's arms.

Seeing that Xiao Zhuxin was unharmed, Gao Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He touched Zhu Xin's head, lowered his voice and said to him: "Little brother, you hurry into the tunnel and hide, I didn't call you, don't come out!"

After speaking, he took the little congratulatory letter and walked to the kang.

"I don't hide, I don't run away!" Xiao Zhuxin's face turned red, and he said while struggling: "Daddy didn't leave, you didn't leave, I will never go alone!

Gao Jie's heart was hot when he heard this, and he hurriedly said softly: "Little brother is good, with the eldest brother here, my father and mother will be fine, you hide first and we can rest assured!"

"It's not good, your martial arts are so inferior, I don't worry, if there is something, we will join forces to fight with them!" Zhu Xin was a very assertive child, and he was stunned to fight with Gao Jie.

Gao Jie saw that it was all at this time, Xiao Zhuxin also said the word "Xun", he was really poisoned by himself, and he was trying to persuade again, so he heard a "bang", and the door was kicked open.

It turned out that the three of them saw that Gao Ting and his wife had been entangled and refused to give way, so they were angry and pushed them away, preparing to forcibly enter the house and search.

Gao Jie saw that it was too late to send the congratulatory letter into the tunnel, so he jumped to the broken cabinet, took out an embroidered spring knife wrapped in black cloth from it, and prepared to face it. At this moment, he didn't care if he would expose this hot Xiuchun knife.

Before he could take off the black cloth, he heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping outside the courtyard, and after a while, he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and then a loud shout sounded: "The cavalry battalion under the command of the Shaanxi General Army of Yan'an Prefecture is ordered to come to search, and no one is allowed to stop it!"

Then I heard my mother shouting loudly: "Master Jun, these three people trespassed on the people's house, please be the master of the small people!"

Suddenly, the three people who had just rushed into the gate had to turn back and go out to confront the visitors.

Gao Jie carried a Xiuchun knife wrapped in black cloth, looked out through the hole in the window, and saw that in addition to the three pretenders, there were five officers and soldiers on horseback outside the courtyard.

When the cavalry led by the cavalry heard Gao's cry, he pulled out the horse chopping knife at his waist and pointed at the three people and shouted: "Who are you, trespassing on people's houses and trying to rob them?!"

The three of them did not answer, but each showed his hidden weapon, rushed out of the courtyard, and rushed towards the five cavalrymen.

Gao Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he make sure that the cavalry and the pretenders from Mizhi County were not in the same group. It seems that these guys disguised as mountain people are very fierce, not ordinary bandits, and even the officers and soldiers are tough to resist!

Gao Jie was watching the battle, when suddenly his ears moved, and he heard a slight sound on the kang, and when he looked back, he saw a smooth skull emerging from under the kang.

As soon as Gao Jie and Xiao Zhuxin saw the visitor, they recognized them at the same time, but it wasn't who the little nun was Huijing?!

Hui Jing jumped off the kang, dusting off the loess on her body, and whispered to Gao Jie: "The host teacher wants me to tell you, don't act rashly first, stay honest, there are her and several teachers in the temple outside to protect her, and they will meet the opportunity to act!"

Gao Jie was relieved when he heard this, turned around and put the Xiuchun knife back into the broken cabinet, and then pulled Hui Jing and Xiao Zhuxin to sit on the kang. When he saw that the little nun Huijing still had a handful of loess on her bald head, he couldn't help but snicker, and reached out to wipe it.

Seeing this, Hui Jing asked Gao Jie to help her wipe it, and hurriedly wiped it on her bald head with the sleeve of her monk's robe, and there was a faint flush on her face.

Gao Jie smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "Senior sister, how do you know about this authenticity?"

Hui Jing glanced at him and said proudly: "There has been a master in the temple guarding your house for the past ten days, of course I know about these little hooks of the two of you!"

Gao Jie suddenly realized: "Alas, I forgot about this stubble, I knew what kind of tunnels I was digging earlier!"

Xiao Zhuxin snorted and slapped Gao Jie when he heard this, and complained: "Big brother is bad, not only took me to test the medicine, but also forced me, a poor child laborer, to follow you every day to dig the soil, what a big deal of revenge for nothing!"

The words "child labor" and "wronged head" were naturally taught by Gao Jie, an unscrupulous teacher, unintentionally.

"That's it, if it weren't for your extra move, junior brother, I wouldn't have been forced by my master to crawl into the hole like a mouse, dirty!" Hui Jing was also indignant.

Gao Jie rolled his eyes, didn't plead, immediately raised his hand in surrender, and muttered in a low voice: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"

Who knew that the tips of the two small ears immediately attracted a voice of rebuttal:

"Wrong! I'm a monk, a teacher, not a woman!"

"Wrong! Big mistake! I'm a child, not a villain!"

Gao Jie felt a little sad, but he didn't expect that under the influence of his ears and eyes, Hui Jing and Zhu Xinhao didn't learn, but they also learned to lift the bar. Just looking at the current situation, with one to two, he was at a disadvantage, and Gao Jie rationally chose to shut up.

"If you don't speak, it doesn't mean that you're right, you have to admit that you're wrong, and your attitude must be sincere, so that Our Lady will forgive you!"

"Eun! sister is right!"

"Child, I'm not a woman, and naturally I'm not a sister, call me Mrs. Huijing!"

"Sister Huijing, then don't call me a child, call me a wish!" ......

Gao Jie saw that in the blink of an eye, Hui Jing and Xiao Zhuxin pinched each other, secretly funny, and hurriedly secretly left the place of right and wrong, came to the window, and looked out.

In the courtyard, Gao Ting and his wife hugged each other in a corner, except for being frightened, there was no danger for the time being.

Outside the courtyard, the battle was fierce, two of the three pretenders were using a judge's pen, and one was using a long whip, these weapons were very convenient to hide, their moves were exquisite, their body skills were extraordinary, their attacks were complementary from far and near, and their martial arts were very good.

Although the five cavalry have armor to protect themselves and their war horses to borrow strength, their martial arts are sparse and ordinary, and the five-on-three are still at a disadvantage, and the situation is precarious.

Seeing that the situation was not good, one of the cavalrymen took the time to ignite a rocket and shoot it into the sky.

Seeing this, the three pretenders knew that it was not good, and the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers were estimated to arrive soon, and their moves became sharper, and they made frequent moves and tried to end the battle as soon as possible.

Under the onslaught of the three men, the five cavalrymen were immediately defeated, and in a moment, one of the cavalrymen was pulled off his horse by the long whip, and fell dizzy, and the heavy armor made him unable to get up for half a day;

The other three cavalrymen were horrified, and they prepared to turn their horses and flee.

At this moment, there was another rapid sound of horses' hooves, and a group of about a dozen cavalry appeared on the mountain road.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the three men glanced at each other, each showed his own skills, and between the ups and downs, they retreated towards the mountain together.

As soon as the cavalry turned over the hillside and appeared, Gao Jie had good eyesight and recognized the leader at a glance.

It is no wonder that when he saw the cavalry team leaving the city in Mizhi County, he found a back that was a little familiar, because only that person was not in cavalry attire, but in a white robe with a tunch, which was particularly eye-catching.

And now, Gao Jie has finally confirmed who he is!

That's right, he is the senior brother Wang Chengen in Xiao Zhuxin's mouth!
