Chapter 20 The Mountain Village is in the Middle of the Mountains
Leaving four officials to investigate the scene, everyone walked to the southeast, carefully checking along the way, there were still no clues, fortunately there was only one road here, but the direction was correct. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After walking for two hours, everyone was hungry, and several officials kept giving the leader a look, and the official leader understood his intentions, and went to Tie Yi's side and whispered: "Chief Arrest, the brothers have been busy for a day, and they are hungry, see if you can take a break." ”
Tie Yi looked at the subordinates behind him, and they were indeed staggering one by one, obviously tired enough, "Okay, let's rest for a while." Lao Zhang, in the past, I wanted you to practice, pushing and blocking one by one, but now I am very active in shouting and resting. ”
Lao Zhang, the leader of the official mission, remembered the rigor of his usual practice, his heart couldn't help jumping, and he said with a forced smile: "The total capture martial arts are outstanding, and the little ones can learn a success, and it is enough for those little thieves to bear." ”
Tie Yi shook his head, "Don't underestimate those bandits, you will suffer if you continue like this." ”
Just as a few people were talking, an officer and soldier in front of him shouted loudly, "Great, there's a tavern in front!"
The officials were already hungry, and when they heard that there was wine to drink and eat, they came to their senses, got up with a grunt, and ran over.
"Master, what do you want to eat?"
Where can it be regarded as a tavern, but it is just a small stall, selling some village wine and food, and the shopkeeper can't help but get nervous when he sees a group of officials rushing over.
"Although the wine and food are served, what is good is good!" An official was already hungry, and Yang Tian drank the wine jug that had just been served.
"Okay, wait a minute. The stall keeper happily went to clean up the wine and food.
"Chief Arrest, Nangong Gongzi, Jing Gongzi, please take a seat. The leader of the official mission gave up his place to the three.
Tie Yi's face was calm, and he didn't answer, just glanced at his surroundings.
This stall is located at a three-way intersection, which is a good location for pedestrians to ask for directions while drinking a bowl of wine and resting.
"Shopkeeper, you've been here for a long time. Tie Yi said.
"The official has good eyesight, I have been selling wine here for four or five years. The shopkeeper held the wine jar to refill the wine for everyone, "The home-brewed wine is not mellow, and the guests like it very much." ”
Tie Yi took a sip and felt really good, "Shopkeeper, have you ever seen anything weird these days?" ”
"Weird thing?" the shopkeeper scratched his head, "Sir, can you elaborate on that?"
"Have you ever seen a group of villagers of all ages, young and old, passing by here?"
The shopkeeper laughed, "Official, it's too dazzling for this group of people you said to go together." But I really haven't seen it, whether they left at night or not, I'm afraid I haven't come out of the stall yet. ”
Tie Yi nodded, "Where is your home?"
The shopkeeper pointed behind him and said, "It's about two or three miles along this road, and it's a small village." ”
Tie Yi looked at his subordinates, "Hurry up and eat, we'll go there and have a look later." The official was obedient and devoured.
The meal was eaten quickly, the money would be passed, and the people turned around and went to the small village to inquire about the situation.
Time is pressing, and if the clues are interrupted, it will be difficult to pick them up again, so Tie Yi is eager to ask for useful information. Although the shopkeeper of the wine stall has not seen any trace of the exiled villagers, the small village where he lives is not far away, and the number of villagers is really large, and there may be useful information there.
"Brother Tie, there is something I want to remind you. "Jing Feng came to Tie Yi's side, and as a killer, he has always had a sense of alienation in his heart for catching fast, especially Tie Yi, the chief catcher of Yunzhou. But estrangement is estrangement, as a companion, it is still necessary for him to tell Tie Yi what he has seen.
"Brother Jing, you have something to say. Tie Yi took the initiative to speak and was surprised by Jing Feng this time, he also felt Jing Feng's attitude of not being far away, as a fast catcher, he had long been accustomed to it.
"Brother Tie has noticed a detail?" Jing Feng whispered.
"What details?" Tie Yi frowned slightly.
"The tavern keeper seemed a little nervous when he saw you coming, and clenched his fists hard. Jing Feng recalled eating in the tavern, "His fist clenching posture is very unique, and the middle knuckle is prominent, which is unique to people who practice martial arts such as eagle boxing or arrow boxing." ”
Tie Yi thought carefully for a while, the position he was sitting in was not good, and the tavern owner was moving quickly, so he didn't see it. "Brother Jing, your vision is very keen. ”
Jing Feng waved his hand and said, "Brother Tie, if my expectations are correct, this tavern shopkeeper is not an ordinary villager, he must have a ghost in his heart and something to hide." ”
Tie Yi nodded, "Thank you, Brother Jing, it seems that we still need to pay attention to the identity of this person." ”
The village is close and not long to get there. There are not many households here, and there are only more than ten households.
"Is there anyone?!" an official knocked on the door, but did not respond in the slightest. "Total catch, no one. ”
"It's not the busy farming season, how can there be no one?!" Tie Yi frowned, "You guys go to the neighborhood to investigate and see where the villagers have gone." ”
"Yes!" the officials scattered, looking for traces of the villagers.
"Brother Jing, it seems that you have analyzed correctly this time. The tavern shopkeeper is not simple, and this small village has hidden mysteries. Tie Yi looked around.
Jing Feng had always been cautious, but since the Five Immortals Sect, his martial arts have advanced rapidly, and his self-confidence has gradually developed into complacency, and his vigilance is also a little slack, so he almost carelessly lost Jingzhou and was planted in the hands of the so-called "goddess".
After learning from the pain, Jing Feng's attitude has changed significantly, and his heart is becoming more and more calm.
"Brother Tie, I don't think this small village is hiding a mystery, but a hidden murder. Jing Feng's sharp intuition told him that in the silence, there seemed to be a thick murderous aura.
Almost as Jing Feng's words fell, a terrible scream sounded.
"It's a hill!"
Tie Yi was very familiar with his subordinates, and immediately judged the source of the voice, and couldn't help but turn pale.
At the same time, several screams sounded almost simultaneously, and Tie Yi, Jing Feng, and Nangong Mu Wu looked at each other, realizing that they were already in a trap set by the enemy!
At this moment, several more cries sounded, and an official stumbled out of the back of the room, covered in blood and with two long arrows stuck in his left arm. "Total arrest, we were ambushed, Xiaoshan and Xiaoshui died, and several brothers were seriously injured!"
Tie Yi clenched his fists, "Where is the enemy?!"
The official was full of panic, "I just felt that there seemed to be a black shadow flickering on the tree, and I didn't see anything else clearly......"
"Brother Tie thinks twice. Nangong Muwu stretched out his hand to stop it, "Now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, once the troops are divided, it will be the enemy's plan." ”
"Wipe it, I can't manage a lot, I can save one by one. With that, Tie Yi rushed towards the back of a small room.
