The man in the silver mask looked at Xu Hate in a daze. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Hat's extraordinary indifference makes people feel something different in their hearts, and the person in the silver mask doesn't know if Xu Hate just hides the deepest parting and sadness in his heart, and does not portray it on his face.

The man in the silver mask didn't want to dwell on these pointless speculations anymore, and said softly: "Hate, let's go in!"

Xu Ha relieved himself, just nodded, and followed the man in the silver mask into the pavilion, and the two girls with plain veils had gone downstairs to greet them at the door.

Now it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky after night is already bright and the moon is bright, the cry of the autumn cicada in the last season is as hard as returning to the light, the birds and birds that have rested on the trees are meaningless, the catastrophe is coming, the danger brought by the ambush of the birds and birds is terrible, but the courage inspired by the last journey of life makes people so suddenly respectful 'singing' is the only evidence that this species can prove that it is derived from heaven and earth.

Du Sheng looked at the sky and the moon, but his heart was shrouded in haze, his sigh was so lonely in the ears of the frustrated fighting spirit of the entourage, in their eyes Du Sheng will always be mature and steady, implying that kind of high-spirited, confident! Such a difficult moment came too suddenly, Du Sheng could not bear it, and they were also frozen by the cold defeat of the past self-confidence, leaving only the same loneliness as Du Sheng.

Du Sheng has relieved his senses, let the horse move forward, looked back at Cui Mingyu who was left with only two catchers and more than a dozen officials who followed, and unconsciously looked at the Peiyang town in front, they are lucky, they can rest in the town tonight, ease the frustration, the other catchers and officials can only sleep in the wilderness, continue to look for the traces of Lu Ting and Peng Jian, Du Sheng is anxious to see Chu Cheng and Heizi who have returned, so he can only leave most of the catchers and officials who follow him on the road, and each group divides to find clues.

Chu Cheng and Heizi sat quietly, the inn was still the scene of the crime, and the bodies had been carried to the mortuary in the town.

The jug of wine on the table was empty, perhaps to ward off cowardice, for as many people lay at their feet, and if there was no paralysis of the spirits, the soft whistling of the night wind roaming the streets seemed to be mixed with the subtle words of the wandering spirits.

After a long silence, the two villagers guarding the door had already come in, and Chu Cheng also heard the sound of horses' hooves on the street in the quiet night, and he and Heizi both got up and greeted them.

A villager was busy saying to Chu Cheng, who came over: "Brother Chu, it seems that Du Zhutou has arrived, and there is the sound of horses' hooves on the street." ”

Before Chu Cheng could say anything, Heizi had already said to Chu Cheng: "Brother Chu, do you want to wake up Liu Zhukuai?"

Chu Cheng shook his head and said: "Don't call him, you didn't see him when he came to report, his face was sleepy, and he still had a wound on his shoulder, Du Zhutou sent him to report probably to let him rest first." ”

Heizi nodded, Chu Cheng looked outside the inn again, and unconsciously said, "It's them coming!" Chu Cheng walked out after speaking, and a faint fire appeared a little farther away from the main road on the street, which was the torch halo of the horse team leader.

The exhaustion of Du Sheng and his party was even more overflowing when they saw the Street Inn, a few days of running and a bloody battle, their will was almost crushed, and Du Sheng could of course see the sleepiness of his subordinates.

Du Sheng glanced at the officials who followed him, and then said to Cui Mingyu beside him: "Mingyu, when you arrive at the inn, you arrange for everyone to have a bite first, and rest early, the brothers are almost unable to stay up, we will stay in the cottage tomorrow to meet Lord Zhao." ”

Cui Mingyu nodded, and when he reacted, the horse team was approaching the inn, Du Sheng also rode to the inn first, he wanted to ask himself to arrange, why did they go to catch the head, and then there was no need to ask, Cui Mingyu also urged the horse to follow, and the tired catchers and officials also saw the light, and used the last little bit of spirit to urge the horse to chase quickly.

Chu Cheng and Heizi have greeted them from the door of the inn, Du Sheng and the others dismounted, Chu Cheng has ordered the four or five villagers who have gathered to lead all the horses to the backyard and fill in more forage, these horses are not better than their owners, and they are even more unbearable in the past few days.

The villagers were already busy, Chu Cheng greeted Du Sheng, and said unconsciously: "Lord Du has worked hard all the way, come in quickly, Brother Liu has been informed before, the meal is ready, eat and rest early!"

Du Sheng smiled and nodded, Chu Cheng made a gesture of invitation to the side, Du Sheng didn't need to be polite, nodded his head, and walked towards the inn, Cui Mingyu was not in a hurry to follow, he still stayed to the brothers to give a few words.

Chu Cheng followed Du Sheng into the inn, and Heizi waited for Cui Mingyu to say a few words to the brothers, and then entered the inn with him.

For Du Sheng and the others, there is nothing more grateful and heart-warming than a hot meal! Although the meal has already been prepared, the chefs invited to go back now, the wives and children have slept soundly on the hot kang, and the food has been served back to the pot, which is considered an old meal.

A meal of gobbling up, the big table of food was exhausted, guarding the inn that no one wanted, there was no shortage of wine, but it was just a few greedy officials who drank a few sips, and they didn't dare to drink more.

The horses in the backyard have already been settled, and the townsmen will inevitably work hard tonight, two townsmen went to the street, one was on duty at the inn, the other two rested early, and stayed in the middle of the night to take turns hiding at the street, these days are not very peaceful, the bandits are falling apart, maybe a few who escaped will get together and run to the town.

Cui Mingyu was also under Du Sheng's instructions, and took the catchers and officials to find their own rooms to rest, and it was quiet in all directions, and Du Sheng said to Chu Cheng and Heizi: "I haven't been idle for the past two days, I wanted to talk to you about things on this mountain, you have been persecuted by them for many years, you should know something about them, right?"

Chu Cheng and Heizi couldn't understand Du Sheng's intentions for a while, didn't all the thieves on this mountain be exterminated! Chu Cheng only muttered in his heart these things, and was stunned for a moment, but he just said: "These ten miles and eight towns are not peaceful, and we, the townsmen who protect the towns and villages, have become people who specialize in preventing bandits most of the time, and we are still very familiar with the bandits, and Lord Du sometimes just asks." ”

Du Sheng nodded and smiled, but this smile was meaningless, he knew that Chu Cheng said this unintentionally, and it was not at him that Du Sheng was not at peace.

Du Sheng smiled before he whispered: "Brother Chu, I want to know the leaders and important people or family members in this cottage, tell me as much as you know!"

Chu Cheng is here, and Heizi can only listen, and he will interject if there is something Chu Cheng doesn't know, Chu Cheng has nodded and continued: "Then I will tell Master Du what we know in detail." ”

Du Sheng nodded, and Chu Cheng said: "There are about more than 500 thieves in this Phoenix Mountain, and the five leaders are under the jurisdiction, the first one is the old thief in this mountain, Yanyue Dao, Tong Juewu, he has been gathering in the mountains for at least 20 years, and in the early years, he was just a small bandit leader, and then one by one the leaders died to make up for it, and he became the climate, until the first two years of the bandits, who had become a force, were wiped out on a large scale, and the big leader at that time died in battle, and then raised the people and horses, and he became the leader. A daughter, Heizi said that Master Du also saw it, and these family members all died in Julong Hall. ”

Du Sheng nodded, the sunspot's eyes were stunned, as if he was taken to Julong Hall by Chu Cheng's words again, and he still had palpitations in his heart about the tragic situation.

Du Sheng is good at analysis, then he is a good listener, and he did not interrupt Chu Cheng's speech.

Chu Cheng sighed and continued: "The second leader of this group of thieves is the black-hearted ghost, Zhong Poyan, this thief is vicious by nature, he also experienced the last catastrophe, after the thieves reunited, he became the second leader, but it is rumored that he and Tong Juewu do not agree, under the pretext of strengthening his power and recruiting troops, most of the time he has entrenched himself in the mountains near Daxing Township with a force of his own, and he has already started a new stove. Called the king's mind, but also he is the most vicious of the thieves, God did not spare him, no wife and no children, it was rumored that there was an illegitimate child before, people were targeted, women and children filled the well together and drowned. ”

As Chu Cheng spoke, a cruel smile appeared in his eyes, one can imagine how hateful this black-hearted ghost and Zhong Poyan have been doing over the years!

Heizi listened to Chu Cheng's story, but at this time he looked at Du Sheng, Daxing Township is also Du Sheng's jurisdiction, Zhong Poyan is rampant, and some officials and family members have said that Du Sheng has long been eyeing Zhong Poyan.

Du Sheng didn't react much, and was still waiting for Chu Cheng to say something about the leader he didn't know.

Chu Cheng paused, probably because he was reminiscing about Zhong Poyan's retribution, and then continued: "The third leader of this group of thieves, the three-eyed judgment, Zhen Che, he is a mild, and he is also a military advisor among the bandits, often taking care of both sides, or the rope between Tong Juewu and Zhong Poyan, connecting the two, this person is easy-going, he has a wife and an eight or nine-year-old child in the cottage, and he didn't see them in the mountain this time, probably because he saw that the bandits' anger was exhausted, and he and his family members had already escaped, most of the female dependents on the mountain were robbed, and they had the opportunity to escape. Although I can't go back home, I can finally be a person again if I move somewhere, and I don't have to tighten my heart every day, worrying that the official family will come to the door and chop them up at any time. ”

Chu Cheng slowed down his mood and became angry, probably sighing in his heart that these thieves were ruthless and the officials were incompetent, which was how many good people they had harmed.

Chu Cheng Chu Cheng relieved himself before he said again: "We are not familiar with the fourth leader of this group of thieves, we only heard that he is also a famous and decent disciple, called Remnant Yang Jian and Lu Qingfeng, and somehow came to this mountain to be with this gang of thieves. ”

Du Sheng frowned deeply when he heard Chu Cheng talk about the Remnant Yang Sword and Lu Qingfeng, but it was only an instantaneous reaction, and he soon relaxed, Lu Qingfeng was far more familiar than Chu Cheng in his heart, this is the person he has been secretly investigating, all because of a case - in the suburbs of Bazhong, Lu Qingfeng's sword slashed iron operator, Li Xin, this Li Xin was originally a friend of Du Sheng, this case came out, Du Sheng rushed to the vicinity of Bazhong, first, to find out the cause of Li Xin's death, and secondly, to mourn the ghost of his old friend, Zhong Poyan did too much evil, and the people in the shadows recognized him, Du Sheng began to pay special attention to Zhong Poyan, and he was more familiar with Lu Qingfeng during the investigation.
