Chapter 168: Wilderness Yizhuang
Shen Zhuoyu didn't expect things to develop like this, and now he simply performed this good show to the end, his eyes swept over everyone coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "Mu Ke'er, it must not be the first time you have done such a thing, right?"
Mu Keer is young after all, and his status in Manichaeism is not high, and he is even more ignorant of the complicated relationship between the mistakes in the religion.
Shen Zhuoyu pressed forward step by step, and she was so frightened that she trembled, and hurriedly replied: "Of course not, this is the third time......
"The third time?" Shen Zhuoyu was a little surprised, and said secretly: "If it is really as she said, wouldn't it be that many villagers have been arrested by her?" He lowered his face and nodded: "Very good, where are the villagers who were arrested before?"
Mu Ke'er glanced up at him, hesitated slightly, and said truthfully: "Although those people have been arrested, it will take some time for them to believe in the Divine Religion." Now, the younger generations have temporarily locked them up in an abandoned village, not too far from here. ”
When Shen Zhuoyu heard this, he thought, "That's really the case...... Since she decided to use this extraordinary method to gather the number of people, there must be a way to convince the villagers of Manichaeism, presumably the government has ignored this matter so far, and it has nothing to do with this trick...... Without further ado, we need to get those villagers out of the way quickly......"
Thinking of this, he was secretly anxious, and shouted to Na Mu Ke'er: "Okay, you will take me forward, if there is the slightest deception, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless." ”
Mu Ke'er frowned slightly, answered yes, got up and stepped aside, raised his hand and said, "Senior, it's better to get on the sedan chair and let these disciples carry you over." ”
Shen Zhuoyu did not refuse, and immediately jumped onto the sedan platform. With a wave of his big hand, he said, "Let's go!" In his opinion, he is a senior. It should be like a senior.
Mu Ke'er looked at Shen Zhuoyu's back, and her eyes flashed.
"Let's go. Hui Yizhuang!" She gave the order, and the gongs and drums beat again.
Half of the eight big men were wounded, and the remaining four lifted the sedan chair, still walking like a fly, heading east. Mu Ke'er followed behind with a large group of green-clothed women, and while Shen Zhuoyu was facing her, she quietly beckoned a green-clothed woman and whispered a few words in her ear. The woman nodded, and turned in the other direction.
And on the sedan platform. Shen Zhuoyu sat still, closing his eyes and thinking about countermeasures.
Three days ago, he learned that the bandits were from Baiyue Mountain, and immediately broke into the mountain single-handedly, but after searching the entire mountain range, there was no sign of the movement of the group. At that time, he began to suspect that those bandits did not live in this Baiyue Mountain. But in that case, why did the villagers send the grain to the foot of the mountain?
Shen Zhuoyu was puzzled. Seeing that the three-day period was approaching, he was worried about the safety of the villagers, so he had to return to the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, it just happened to bump into the scene of Mu Keer applying medicine to confuse the villagers. He has deep internal strength. Naturally, he was not afraid of the medicinal powder that was scattered, and after listening to Mu Keer's words, he felt that there were many loopholes and doubts.
After that, Mu Keer wanted to take the villagers away. He had to show up to stop him, who knew that he would plan once. Instead, he saw through Mu Keer's conspiracy. Now he is on the line, although he is alone. Try to rescue the captured villagers as well.
But after a while, the group faded away and disappeared at the end of the mountain road.
When the villagers learned that everything was just a scam, they were not only afraid, but also happy. Today's experience is enough to become a conversation point for them in their lives.
Hundreds of people carried the grain, led the pigs and sheep, and went down the mountain with joy.
At this time, among the bushes at the foot of the mountain, the general surnamed Han and the young general slowly stood up.
Seeing everyone leaving, the young general was really anxious, "General Han, why don't you catch up, listen to the woman, the villagers who disappeared for no reason are very likely to be in her hands." ”
The two of them had been hiding here for a long time, and everything that happened in the meantime was in their eyes.
The general surnamed Han only smiled slightly when he heard this, "Of course I want to chase it, but not now." You must know that these people are all people in the martial arts, and their six senses are far more sensitive than ordinary people, even if there is a little wind and grass, it is difficult to escape their ears and eyes. What's more, if we follow dozens of people so rashly, can An hide his whereabouts?"
When the young general heard this, he couldn't help but look back at the hillside.
Right there, ten zhang away from the foot of the mountain, where the trees were the densest, many people and horses led by the general surnamed Han were waiting for their orders. Dozens of war horses hid in the woods, and they were able to keep silent, which shows the combat power of these cavalry.
The young general scratched his head and wondered: "Why do you want to hide, let's call all the brothers and arrest all those demons, won't we be able to rescue the villagers?"
The general surnamed Han shook his head: "Have you heard, the place they are going to now is the place where the villagers are held." If we lose this clue because of this, we will be busy in vain. The best way is to wait for them to get there, and then we will make a move, only then can it be safe. ”
After listening to this, the young general was sincerely convinced, and arched his hand: "I still remember that when I was a child, my father often told me that General Han's skills, even if he studied for a lifetime, he might not be able to comprehend the ten middle schools and one or two. ”
The general surnamed Han stroked his beard and smiled, "When your father and I went into battle to kill the enemy together, both of us were still hairy boys, how could we have any ability, but we fought with enthusiasm and were not afraid of death......"
As he spoke, he looked to the east, and listened to the sound of gongs and drums getting softer and softer, and said, "Okay, Huo Wu, the time has come, it's time to pursue." ”
"Yes!"
The two rushed up the mountain, and saw that the cavalry on the slope had already been reined in, ready to go, and Huo Wu's blood was boiling.
The general surnamed Han stepped on horseback, waved the reins, and shouted softly: "Go!"
For a moment, a puff of smoke and dust was lifted from under the horse's hooves, and it rolled down the mountain.
There is no impermeable wall, and the Baiyue Mountain where Mu Ke'er is located is only one of the many Manichaean altars, and even though she controls the local government, it cannot hide the fact that a large number of villagers have disappeared.
At the same time, similar situations occurred all over the country, and when the imperial court heard about it, it immediately ordered someone to investigate.
After the investigation, the official in charge of Baiyue Mountain naturally could not escape the blame, and the official had long been confused, and pushed the matter to the bandits.
The imperial court believed it and sent officers and soldiers here, intending to clear the thieves in the mountains, but by coincidence, this cavalry squad ran into the real mastermind.
It was getting dark, and Shen Zhuoyu sat in a sedan chair, climbing over three peaks all the way, still circling in the mountains. He couldn't help but start to doubt, but Mu Ke'er had been staying by the side of the sedan chair, and looking at her appearance, it didn't look like there was anything abnormal.
"Mu Ke'er, didn't you say that the distance is not far, why hasn't it arrived for a long time?" Shen Zhuoyu couldn't help but ask.
Mu Ke'er laughed softly: "Senior, don't worry, in half an hour, you will definitely be able to arrive." ”
As she spoke, Shen Zhuoyu kept paying attention to her expression, but she didn't see anything different. At that moment, he didn't ask any more questions, but secretly raised his vigilance, and after about half an hour, in the night not far away, the outline of a mansion appeared, and all around him was a lifeless wilderness.
"Senior, it's there. Mu Keer pointed to the mansion.
Shen Zhuoyu was silent, just staring at the front, because he vaguely felt that the mansion seemed to be too quiet. (To be continued......)
