Chapter 53: Fighting in the Middle of the Night (I)

Zhang Linxin nodded and said: "I remember that last time Uncle Gao said that most of the accents that appeared in Lin'an were also in the Jinghu area, this time I listened to the Yang gang leader and a few of them, and it also verified this, it seems that they must be all the way, the achievement of Baotu Jiu was stolen by them, and this gang must be in the Jinghu area." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info we have this clue, and there is hope for us to recover the treasure map. ”

Li Yao looked at the two of them and asked, "But Jinghu has thousands of miles of land, a large population, and a dense network of rivers, where can I find such a mysterious gang whose name I don't even know?"

Dugu Jian shook his head, "I also know that finding them is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but no matter how difficult it is, I must also find the treasure map, because it was my father, Zhang Shibo and Liu's predecessors in exchange for their lives, and it is also the hope that the Great Song Dynasty can recover the lost land and smash the Yellow Dragon!

Li Yao nodded and replied: "Okay, Brother Dugu, when this is over, I will show my father and take people to find the treasure map together." Zhang Linxin replied with a smile: "That's good, Sister Li, I'll thank you in advance." ”

The three of them sat down by the fire and talked a little more, and then they each got up and went back to their tents to rest. Dugu Jian picked up the small black cloth bag, and had the intention to destroy it, but he couldn't do anything after looking at it for a long time. In the end, he looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, no matter why he deceived me, after all, it was to prevent the treasure map from falling into the hands of the villains, not to mention that he helped me twice in succession, and this time the matter was settled." If I can meet him again, I will return this thing to him, and if I want to return the true treasure map, I will not owe each other. As soon as he thought of this, Dugu Jian was no longer entangled, stuffed the cloth bag back into his arms, and stepped into the tent to lie down and rest.

Ge Yifan galloped wildly for an hour and finally came to Jining. At this time, Jining was only a relatively large town belonging to the Wanggu Department, and there were about 1,000 herdsmen living here. Looking at the bright firelight in the town not far away and the laughter and singing from time to time, Ge Yifan showed an imperceptible smile on his face, clenched his fists and said: "Dugu Jian, Zhang Linxin, see how you escape from my palm this time!"

He reined in his horse and said to the killer who knew the geography of this area, "You go and find the head of the Wanggu tribe here, and tell him that Mr. Ge Yifan, the fourth prince of the Dajin Kingdom, wants to see him!" The killer agreed, and galloped away on horseback. Ge Yifan said to the other killers: "You go quietly to the town and take a look to see where the caravan that came in the afternoon lives." ”

Several killers took the order and headed for the town. Ge Yifan and the remaining killers stood on a hillside, watching every move in the town from afar. A short time later, the previous killer returned with a group of men and horses, and the first one on the horse, one dressed in Wangubu costume, was a big fat man.

He was guided by the killer to the hillside, and the killer said, "Ida Khan, this is Mr. Ge under the tent of our fourth prince. The big fat man saluted Ge Yifan according to custom, "I don't know what Mr. Ge is doing here?" Ge Yifan stared at this Aida Khan for a long time before replying: "It turned out to be Aida Khan, the old man was ordered by the fourth prince to track down two fugitives, according to my subordinates, these two people are hiding in a caravan, I wonder if Aida Khan knows where this caravan is now?"

The Ida Khan asked the men behind him, "Have any caravans come to us these two days?" and his attendant replied, "Great Khan, no caravan has come back since the caravan left ten days ago. Aida Khan nodded and said to Ge Yifan: "Mr. Ge, you have also heard, no caravan has come to us in the past few days, it seems that the person you are looking for is not here." ”

Ge Yifan listened, and there was some doubt in his heart, he took two steps forward with his horse, "Aida Khan, these two fugitives have a great relationship, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince wants the old man to catch them, you have to think clearly! If you dare to hide it, hum, the fourth prince is there, I am afraid of ......" The threat in his mouth is very obvious. That Aida Khan is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, hearing Ge Yifan say this, he seems to be a little disdainful, he snorted coldly in his nose, and replied: "The grassland here is the land of Ben Khan, if a caravan comes, they will definitely come to visit Ben Khan first, there has been no caravan coming in the past few days, will Ben Khan still lie to you!"

"The leader of a small tribe, if you dare to speak like this to our protector, you are looking for death!" a killer behind Ge Yifan shouted, followed by several killers to pull out their weapons, and just waited for Ge Yifan to give an order, and captured Aida Khan. Not to be outdone, the Khan's retinue also drew their scimitars from their waists and looked at them with a wary expression.

At this time, several killers who went to keep an eye on the town ran back on horseback, "Protector!" Ge Yifan saw a few people, waved his hand, and ordered the people behind him to put away their weapons. A killer who returned came to Ge Yifan's side and whispered: "Protector, we searched around the town and asked many people, and they all said that they didn't see a caravan, and besides, they didn't have outsiders here in the past few days. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, my subordinates are sure, we asked a lot of people separately, and we got the same answer. ”

"That's ......" Ge Yifan groaned for a while, and said to Aida Khan with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Khan, the people under him are ignorant and have frightened you. "That Aida Khan can sit on this grassland of the leader, naturally it is not a wine bag and rice bag, seeing Ge Yifan say this, he also smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, Ben Khan has a lot of respect for Dajin Kingdom, and he will never dare to be sloppy, and he also asked Mr. Ge to say a few kind words in front of the fourth prince." ”

Ge Yifan bowed slightly, "It's easy to say, then dare to ask the Khan, in addition to here, there are also places where nobles live?"

Aida Khan replied: "There is only this place within a radius of hundreds of miles as large as Jining, and those places where thirty or fifty households live, I am afraid that it is not worth the caravan that Mr. said he said." Only to the west, to Jingzhou, two hundred miles away, would it be worth going to the big caravan. ”

Hearing Aida Khan say this, Ge Yifan asked like the killer next to him: "Have you asked those herdsmen, have you seen this caravan when you were grazing today?" The killer replied: "Yes, but the Dharma Protector, those herdsmen said they hadn't seen it, and it seems that they didn't come here." ”

"How is this possible? With such a large caravan, it is impossible for that kid to not even do business in order to cover Dugu Jian, right?" Ge Yifan didn't believe it.

Suddenly, a man behind Aida Khan whispered: "Great Khan, you have forgotten that the Xi people in the east who do not deal with us. The khan woke up suddenly and said to Ge Yifan: "Mr. Ge, Ben Khan remembered that in the east two hundred miles away from here, there is a big lake called Mandarin Duck Anchor. It was the place where the Xi people lived, and if the caravan that the gentleman had spoken of had gone there, we would not have been able to know. ”

When Ge Yifan got the news, he was overjoyed, and he bowed his hand to Aida Khan, and said: "Then thank you Khan, the fourth prince, I will ask for credit for the Khan! The old man will take his leave! Let's go!" Without waiting for Aida Khan to reply, he turned his horse's head and took his killers away! Aida Khan looked at their distant backs, wiped the sweat on his head, and muttered to himself: "These people have such a heavy murderous aura, and the soldiers and horses of the Jin people really live up to their reputation."
