Chapter 117: Shocking Disaster
Shen Mad gently pushed the proprietress away, got up and looked at the scattered trees to the east, the proprietress and the bookkeeper who was resting on a dead stump after bandaging the fat child's wound stood up, and looked in the direction that Shen Mad was looking, and the sound of the dead branches being crushed by gravity passed over here.

After a while, Chang Yuheng and Liu Ping'er appeared and walked over slowly.
Fluttershy and Cai'er look at Liu Ping'er and rush over, his shirt stained red by the wound that cracked again.
Shen Mad had already come to Liu Ping'er's side first, he didn't have the same worry as Fluttershy and Cai'er, this bloodstain Shen Mad understood what was going on, and unconsciously said to Liu Ping'er, "They didn't follow?"
Liu Ping'er said: "They're gone!"
Fluttershy cares about Liu Ping'er's injury, but she doesn't want to disturb Shen Yan's conversation with Liu Ping'er at this time, and only looks at Liu Ping'er nervously with a worried face.
The bookkeeper had already come over, looked at Liu Ping'er and said, "They sounded the horn to collect the troops, and you killed one of their heads?"
Liu Ping'er shook his head and continued, "No, it's just a team of cavalry!"
Mr. Bookkeeper looked at Liu Ping'er, a little puzzled, and then said again as if talking to himself: "The general is not dead, why did they retreat?"
Liu Ping'er didn't understand Mr. Ledger's words, but just looked at Mr. Ledger quietly, Shen Mad had already reacted, and said unconsciously: "Sir's words, their battle is commanded by a head catcher?"
Mr. Bookkeeper nodded to Shen Mad and said: "If it weren't for this person, how could we be so miserable, he knew from the first time he saw Xiao Juan that those merchants and the outside catchers were killed by us, it was all my carelessness, Xiao Juan and Jiang Er had blood on their sleeves, I didn't even notice it, and when it was too late, the head catcher began to plan a battle plan as soon as he quit, fortunately, I noticed it in time, and I took them by surprise first, so that I could survive." ”
Shen Mad listened to Mr. Bookkeeper's words, but his mind was far away-who this head catcher was, maybe sooner or later it would be a big problem for these fugitives.
Liu Ping'er was also thinking about what was on his mind - the head catcher in the forest who was not killed with a knife was the person Shen Mad and Mr. Bookkeeper said.
Liu Ping'er didn't know what Shen Mad was thinking, if he wanted to behead Du Sheng in the chaos of the army, no one would be able to keep Du Sheng from dying, the knife in the forest just let Du Sheng know something, Liu Ping'er had no intention of killing him, otherwise it would not be a big knife that flew towards Du Sheng, but Liu Ping'er himself.
The proprietress cried silently, and then the woman's weakness was vividly revealed, perhaps because Shen Mad was by his side, or because Mr. Bookkeeper mentioned Xiaojuan again.
Du Sheng stood beside the corpses of several ironclad cavalrymen in a daze, he almost fell off his horse when he came, fortunately there was a quick catcher to help him, and now only he could figure out what was going on, and the horror of the whole thing made him feel cold in his heart.
In the forest, he knew what the last thing the dying ironclad cavalry was referring to, the one who had always impressed him but had no time to observe and investigate carefully - Liang Zi.
Du Sheng thought about Liang Zi quietly, and even he didn't have time to think about the disappearance of Lu Ting and Peng Jian, Du Sheng paid close attention to Liang Zi from the act of quietly covering up his appearance, and now there are many questions about this matter.
'The people who were killed in the Julong Hall and the peach who died tragically in front of the door!'
'Deliberately appeared in front of Li Kong and others, and told the whereabouts of the fugitives from the hanging bonus. ’
I saw Kuroko and Chu Cheng deliberately fall into the bloody mud and cover their faces with blood. ’
'The martial arts are strong and the city is very deep, and he has always been weak and stupid to cover himself. ’
'What is the intention of killing the ironclad cavalry and robbing the two adults?'
Du Sheng's sluggish state was awakened! Zhao Qianwang was already panicked in his heart, and said beside Du Sheng in a trembling voice: "Officers and soldiers, errand soldiers, fast catchers, and deputy generals, there are countless casualties! Even the two adults have been robbed, how can we explain." ”
Du Sheng woke up and Zhao Qianwang said these words, and his expression began to be sluggish, and he fell into deep fear, unable to extricate himself.
Du Sheng let out a long breath, and then broke the silence and said: "This matter is no longer within our ability, the army will first return to Tongjiang, deal with the aftermath of the wounded and the dead, and then quickly report to the state capital, we will each select the elite and chase in two ways, I hope to catch up with the two adults, if there is no result, we will meet in the bandits' lair, the problem is to come out of there, we will go back there." ”
Zhao Qianwang's fragile nerves finally did not break, and he relieved himself, looked at Du Sheng and savored these words, and asked unconsciously: "Brother Du, go to the bandit den in Phoenix Mountain, how do you know that the two adults were robbed in this direction, and what is the problem in the bandits' nest, now in this situation, Brother Du must not let me be confused, if there is something we will carry and investigate together!"
Du Sheng showed a slightly helpless smile, and continued: "Lord Zhao, we can discuss this matter, but we can't afford these things, what we can do with the orders from above is to continue, let it be fate!"
Zhao Qianwang was also anxious, nervous and helpless, and his imprinted face made people feel panicked when they saw it, and hurriedly said with no confidence: "What kind of adult, Brother Du, you and I are the same, why do you keep calling me adult!"
If Du Sheng would have been amused by Zhao Qianwang's appearance in normal times, but he couldn't laugh at this time, he continued: "Little brother changed his words, Brother Zhao, let's settle down and chase the two adults first, if it really comes to the point of meeting in the bandits' den, I'm explaining it to Brother Zhao!"
Zhao Qianwang was anxious, but there was something more anxious than rubbing here and waiting for the sun to get up, so he put aside all doubts and panic, nodded in response, and he chose to fully believe in Du Sheng's arrangement.
Shen Mad led everyone to gallop on the horses, and the group had bypassed Minsheng Town, galloping along the mountain road for almost an hour, and had come to the boundary of Taiping Township and a village to rest.
The morning sun does not think about right and wrong and lazily gets up in the east, the morning light is dyed with gold, and the roosters in the distant villages are still crowing tirelessly, far more than the roosters, and the sound of the irritable dog barking in the heart spreads farther! Shen Mad stopped before entering the village, there were no residents in the village who did not know him, and their group was covered in blood, if the people in the village who were idle all day long and bullied the people and dominated the land saw it, they slipped out and reported to the officials, and they would provoke the pursuers to show their whereabouts.
Shen Mad hesitated, turned around and hid behind a tree on the side of the dirt road, and stared blankly at the entrance of the village.
After a moment of sluggishness, Shen frantically jumped towards the north.
This village is not big, for Shen Mad to avoid pedestrians, around the village is a little time, Shen Mad has stopped in the northwest outside the courtyard wall of a family, here is nearly a hundred meters away from the village, although it is dilapidated and shabby, but such people are mostly alone, Shen Mad They need only a quiet rest, not to alarm others and not to let people come and go to the door to alarm them.
The fat boy leaned against the tree on his shoulder, although he was very tired, but the pain made him unable to even rest on the tree for a while, the proprietress and the bookkeeper sat next to the fat boy, so that he could see the people he could rely on, and his heart would be warmer to relieve some of the pain.
Fluttershy and Cai'er stay under a tree a few meters away, and Pyong'er is nowhere to be found.
After a while, Shen Mad has returned, and Fluttershy and Cai'er are leaning on each other as if they were asleep, and their weak bodies are too tiring for them to experience days of emaciated escape and the torture of barely sleeping all nights yesterday.
Shen Mad takes one look at Fluttershy and Cai'er, and stops beside the proprietress and the others.
The proprietress looked at Shen Mad and hurriedly said, "Brother Shen, shall we enter the village?"
Shen Mad nodded, and said, "I've made arrangements, let's go, your injuries need to rest, and you can't hurry anymore." ”
The proprietress had already gotten up, and the bookkeeper wanted to say something but kept the words in his stomach, and said to the fat boy who had just opened his eyes and stopped closing his eyes to enjoy the pain: "Fat boy, let's go to the village to rest, let's go!"
The fat boy was dumbfounded, and the bookkeeper would not ask for his consent, so he carefully stroked the fat boy's arm, and the words only told the fat boy to get up and not support the wound.
The proprietress was also busy helping the bookkeeper to help the fat child, and Shen Mad said, "Then I'll call them." ”
The proprietress helped the fat boy and answered.
Shen Mad came over and Fluttershy and Cai'er were still asleep, Shen Mad gently nudged Fluttershy, and Fluttershy opened her eyes, sat up suddenly, and said in a panic, "What's wrong, Uncle Shen?"
Fluttershy's actions are also startled, and she sits up with wide eyes, and Shen is busy giving a smile and whispering, "It's okay Fluttershy, it's okay, don't be afraid that we're all here!"
Fluttershy and Cai'er recovered from their sleepiness, and Shen Mad looked at the two little girls with soft eyes and a smile before saying, "Fluttershy, you're tired, let's go to the village to rest." ”
Fluttershy nodded, and then noticed that Liu Ping'er, who had been by her side, was gone, and got up blankly, and was about to ask Shen Mad when Liu Ping'er had come back and walked over slowly.
Fluttershy's heart is settled, the proprietress and the others have already come, Shen Mad watches Liu Ping'er come here, he doesn't ask anything, Liu Ping'er won't let any danger get close to Fluttershy, and there will be no enemies nearby.
Shen Mad had already said to Liu Ping'er: "Ping'er, let's go, go to the village in front to rest, your injuries can't be hurried anymore, let's take a good rest." ”
Liu Ping'er nodded, this was what he hoped for, not that his pain and fatigue were unbearable, but that Fluttershy was too tired.
At this time, there are not many people in the fields, and the cold weather makes the villagers who have some leisure time not want to be eroded by the cold, and they prefer to gather at home to chat for a while, play for a while, and sleep lazily for a while.
