Chapter 49 The mountain people leaked the whereabouts of Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er
He Dudao kicked the shopkeeper to the ground, and loudly insulted the shopkeeper, you don't have long eyes, uncle, didn't I tell you just now, we don't buy, we don't buy, tell you how many times ******, you are still bothering uncle.
When Lu Junliang heard the three people and two horses, his two eyes quickly appeared the appearance of Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er, blocked the second senior brother's next leg with his hand, and bent down to help the shopkeeper full of fear.
Lu Junliang smiled and said to the shopkeeper, don't panic, we bought the two horses, this is thirty taels of silver, and the horse money for you.
The shopkeeper's greedy eyes saw so much silver, thinking about He Dudao's angry expression just now, his outstretched hands retracted again, and Lu Junliang squatted down and put the silver in the shopkeeper's trembling hands.
The shopkeeper pushed the silver into Lu Junliang's hand again, Lu Junliang smiled and said Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the silver is for you, we want the horses, if you can tell us where the horses were bought, we will give you another twenty taels of silver.
Lu Junliang took out twenty taels of silver from his money bag and placed it flat in the center of his wide palm.
The shopkeeper looked at the glittering silver and thought to himself, whether they gave him the silver or not, he must tell them where he had bought the two horses.
The shopkeeper told Lu Junliang that the two horses were bought from a village in the west, and told Lu Junliang and He Dudao about the appearance of the two people.
Lu Junliang smiled and stuffed the silver to the shopkeeper, shouted to Senior Brother, and ran west with the disciples of the Kongtong Sect.
He Dudao asked Lu Junliang on the road, why did he ask where the two horses came from, and what does this have to do with tracking Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er.
Lu Junliang told He Dudao that when he heard that the three people gave horses, he thought that those three people might be Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er, the people here are so poor, who would be so generous to give others two horses for no reason, and later asked them about their appearance, and concluded that those three people must be them.
He Dudao listened to Lu Junliang's words, and a feeling of jealousy rose in his heart, although he was Lu Junliang's second senior brother, but in addition to his martial arts being less than Lu Junliang's, other aspects such as resourcefulness were too different from Lu Junliang's appearance, and when the senior brother in charge returned to the west, the only one who could take away the position of head from him in the future would be Lu Junliang.
After a trace of gloomy emotion was hidden on He Dudao's face, he quickly filled his face with a smile on his face, and said to Lu Junliang that Senior Brother Lu is really resourceful, and he will definitely take over the position of Senior Brother of the Gangtong Sect in the future.
Lu Junliang listened to He Quandao's flattering words, and was very happy in his heart.
Lu Junliang suppressed this happy emotion and said to He Dudao that Senior Brother He's martial arts are far above his junior brother, and only He Dudao can take over the position of the head of the Kongtong faction in the future.
He Dudao listened to Lu Junliang's words, and secretly scolded Lu Junliang in his heart, you are so hypocritical.
He Dudao and Lu Junliang stopped in the village where Chai Zhiheng gave horses, and He Dudao beckoned all the Kongtong disciples to go to the village to inquire about Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er, and see if they were hiding in this mountain village or a nearby mountain peak or a nearby mountain village.
When the disciples of the Kongtong faction were about to enter this mountain village, He Dudao told the disciples of the Kongtong faction loudly, saying that the mountain people must be asked to tell where Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er went, and if they didn't say it, they would kill them one by one, until finally the mountain people said where Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er had gone or where they were hiding?
Lu Junliang heard He Quandao's words, and immediately told He Quandao that the mountain people here are more kind and simple, don't kill people casually, otherwise it will cause the government to track down the Kongtong faction, although the Kongtong faction is not afraid of the government, but it will inevitably delay the time to hunt down Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er, and may even let them use this time to escape to a secret place, they also said that they are catching fast, are chasing fugitives, and give them some silver, they must happily say where Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er are hiding or which direction they went.
He Dudao listened to Lu Junliang's words, and the jealousy in his heart became even stronger, He Dudao gritted his teeth to suppress the jealousy in his heart, and said with a smile that the second senior brother listened to the resourceful Senior Brother Lu in this regard.
Kongtong sent his disciples into the mountain village, and checked the mountain people one by one, asking them if they had seen the three fugitives Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er, and if anyone had received the two horses they had gifted, if they found out that they did not report it, they would be dealt with as accomplices, and if they said where the three of them went or where they were hiding, whether it was an ordinary villager or the two families who had committed the same crime, they would not only be eliminated from all charges, but also give them a large amount of silver.
The mountain people looked at the huge amount of twenty taels of silver greedily, and they all wanted to tell them where the three people went, but they were not the two people who collected the horses, they didn't know where Chai Zhiheng, Ling'er and Dieyi went, so one drooled and said that the two families in the south had collected their horses, you go and ask them.
Although the simple and kind mountain people were greedy for their own money, they were also happy to let the rest of the village get it.
The disciples of the Kongtong faction flocked to the two houses and found the two people who had received the horses, and the two people, under the coercion and temptation of the disciples of the Kongtong faction, said in a panic that the two people had gone west, and happily received twenty taels of silver.
The disciples of the Kongtong faction immediately returned to He Dudao and Lu Junliang, pointed to the narrow road to the west that was almost unwalked, and said that Chai Zhiheng, Ling'er and Dieyi had gone to the west.
He Dudao and Lu Junliang led the Kongtong faction disciples to chase westward, and the thorns along the way made the Kongtong faction disciples miserable, He Quandao angrily scolded Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er, saying that it was enough to just kill you before, but now you are hiding in this place, causing Lao Tzu to suffer so much, and when he finds you, he will repay them twice as much as the previous hatred and current suffering, so that they can have enough of the abuse and tragic death.
He Dudao and Lu Junliang came to the end of the road when it was almost dark.
He Dudao looked at the cliffs on three sides, there was no road, but he still didn't find Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er, He Dudao was furious, and said that he would kill the two families and all the villagers in that village when he went back, and let them trick him into this place where there was no one at all.
Lu Junliang said to He Quandao that the second senior brother dissipated his anger, with the character of those stupid mountain people, they would not deliberately lie and deceive us, it must be Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er who hid in a nearby cave or bush, we didn't find them on the way here, now the important thing is to quickly re-search all the peaks near this road along the way to see if we can find traces of Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er.
He Dudao and Lu Junliang led their disciples back along the way to carefully inspect every grass and tree, but they found no trace of Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er.
