Chapter 21: Clever Escape
Hao Zhi ate quickly, got up, slowly plated in front of the hotel counter, took out the silver from his arms and put it on the counter, and said softly, "Store, are there any suspicious people staying in the hotel recently!"
When has the shopkeeper seen this kind of battle, he hurriedly picked it up and said, "This, stranger, there is."
Hao Zhi grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper and made a shushing gesture with his right hand, and the shopkeeper understood, lying on Hao Zhi's ear and muttering a lot.
Xie Yang couldn't hear a word, but he had a faint feeling, he felt a hot gaze fixed on his back, it was purely an intuition, and the intuition told him that the other side was observing him.
But he also couldn't leak his feet, put on the posture of an old man, drank wantonly, and after settling the bill, he went upstairs to the room drunk.
After returning to the room, Xie Yang gently closed the door, and hurried to pack up his baggage, Xie Yang knew that he had exposed some suspicious signs, he was in Mianyang for the past two days, except for the inn is a teahouse, he didn't go out to do things, he didn't wander, and he didn't see anyone, as long as he wasn't a fool, he could see his suspicion, not to mention the shop where he was used to seeing guests, Xie Yang made up his mind to set off on the third watch, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the other party, he decided not to even want a horse, as long as the other party lost his goal.
Xie Yang rested for a while, and when he was on the third watch, he woke up on time, slowly pushed open the door, and walked downstairs gently, when Xie Yang immediately walked out of the inn, another door upstairs opened, and it was Song Wendong who came out, Xie Yang pretended not to see him, and continued to walk out of the door, Song Wendong shouted urgently, "Xie Yang, I see where you are fleeing." ”
Xie Yang knew that the other party had recognized him, so he no longer concealed it, and rushed out of the door.
Song Wendong fell from the railing on the second floor and followed Xie Yang closely, and behind Song Wendong were Wensheng, Hao Zhi and others.
Xie Yang picked a remote path to run, after turning left and right, the other party's qi was still locked on him, thinking of the sneak attack on him by Song Wendong in Wuzhuang last time, Xie Yang wanted to turn back and fight with Song Wendong, but Xie Yang couldn't do this, there were five or six people on the opposite side, once he was entangled, it would definitely be difficult to get out in a short time, if Song Xuan and others arrived, it would be difficult to fly.
Xie Yang gradually ran out of the town and rushed into a forest at the edge of the town, Song Wendong and the six followed to the edge of the woods, he made a gesture, signaling everyone not to rush into the woods, there is a taboo in the rivers and lakes of Wulin, chasing people at night is not into the forest, so as not to be ambushed.
Song Wendong motioned for everyone to follow on both sides of him and slowly walked into the woods. The woods were quiet, there was no sound of movement, which meant that Xie Yang hid, it could be behind the tree, it could be the top of the tree, or it could be the foot, everyone didn't dare to act rashly, and slowly followed behind Song Wendong, carefully observing the surrounding movements.
Xie Yang hid behind a thick tree trunk, he quietly observed the six people chasing into the woods, according to his intuition, Song Wendong's martial arts were the highest, Hao Zhi was second, and the rest were slightly weaker, Xie Yang originally disdained to sneak attack, but the enemy was outnumbered, he had to defeat a few enemies, so that the enemy would not dare to follow him rashly, and he could leave calmly.
Thinking of this, Xie Yang picked up a small stone from under his feet and threw it directly at the trunk on the left, making a snapping sound, Song Wendong reacted very quickly, he drew his sword and rushed directly to the uncle hit by Xie Yang's stone, and the rest of the people also rushed towards the big tree that made a sound, Song Wendong's long sword was sharpened, and the sword was directly slashed on the trunk, and he was in pain, Song Wendong secretly screamed that it was not good, and he was hit by the enemy's plan to attack the west, but it was too late. At the moment when everyone was concentrating, Xie Yang slashed at a disciple of the Song family who was closest to him, this disciple of the Song family reflected very quickly, he felt a yin wind coming from the right, and hurriedly raised his sword to block, but how did he know the power of the Qing Yao, the Qing Xue Sword directly cut off his sword and slashed directly on the top of his head, the Song family disciple screamed, and immediately fell, Xie Yang took back the bright Qing Yu Sword, and continued to hide in the shadows.
This is the first time he has killed someone, with his character, he is not easy to kill, but he hates the Song family for doing things too much, he has planned to leave Chengdu, Song Kui is still unwilling to let him go, and sends a team of men and horses to chase and kill him, if he does not resist, it is meaningless.
The bamboo forest fell silent again, and Xie Yang disappeared from the enemy's field of vision, but Song Wendong clearly knew that Xie Yang was hiding in a corner and waiting for the next shot. Xie Yang easily eliminated an enemy, which made the enemies in the forest shudder.
Xie Yang repeated his old trick and threw the stone at the big tree on the left again, but this time he did not make a move, but observed the enemy's movements. The voice sounded, and the enemy surprisingly did not make a rash move, and was also observing his movements, only to hear Song Wendong's voice resounding in the bamboo forest, "Everyone get closer, don't be too far apart, lest you fall for this kid's trick." ”
Xie Yang said in his heart, Song Wendong, this kid does have some skills, he is not afraid of danger, he is not surprised by changes, it seems that he has to think of a good way, if he drags on like this, it will be difficult to get out when it is dawn. Thinking of this, Xie Yang threw two stones in a row, this time the target of the stone was not bamboo, but people, he threw the stones slowly at Song Wendong one by one, he didn't expect the stones to hit him, but to divide his mind.
Song Wendong had been in a state of high tension, suddenly hearing the sound of the stone breaking in front of him, and hurriedly bent down to dodge, Xie Yang took advantage of this vacant opportunity to quietly climb to a nearby big tree, covering his figure with the dense leaves, waiting for the opportunity to move.
Song Wendong easily dodged the stones, and did not continue to attack, at this moment he was restless, he didn't know what conspiracy Xie Yang was playing, Xie Yang made several shots, false and real, making people confused about the routine, and it was indeed a headache.
Xie Yang observed the situation on the ground, he threw the last stone, and went straight to Song Wensheng, who was closest to him, and at the same time, sliding down the trunk of the tree, gently touching the trunk with both feet, and heading straight for Song Wensheng from the air, the sound of the stone breaking through the air once again attracted everyone's attention, Song Wensheng did not dodge, he drew his sword, slashed at the stone, and directly split the stone into the air, making a crisp sound. Just when Song Wensheng was proud, secretly pleased with his precise senses, Xie Yang's sword ghostly stabbed at him, he was suddenly taken aback, he looked upwards with admiration, only to see Xie Yang flying in the air, Song Wensheng leaned back in a hurry, swung his sword and swept upward, Xie Yang's figure turned sharply in the air, and he dodged Song Wensheng's sharp stab, and the sword moved forward and broke Song Wensheng's chest. Song Wensheng let out a scream like killing a pig, Xie Yang drew his sword, brought out a canopy of blood, splashed him, he didn't care about Song Wensheng's life or death, rolled on the spot, and disappeared from the enemy's field of vision again.
Song Wensheng's screams lasted for a while before it ended, Song Wendong's face was like ashes, he was indeed a little arrogant, and he came to pursue Xie Yang desperately, resulting in recklessness into this gloomy woods, and he was killed by two people without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, one of whom was a brother of his own clan, and he didn't know how to explain it when he went back, and now he regretted it, Rao was bold and didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly ordered to withdraw from the woods.
Seeing that the enemy had withdrawn, Xie Yang hurriedly left from the other end of the woods.
Xie Yang left Mianyang and headed north, he planned to go straight to Hebei, and based on Yi Wuxing's description of Lord Wang, he firmly believed that he would not be turned away.
After two days of marching, we arrived in Hanzhong. In the past two days, Xie Yang did not linger any longer, all the way to Hanzhong, he purchased some food after entering the city, and left the city in a hurry. Xie Yang did not dare to stay in the city, because Hanzhong was the last big city in the sphere of influence of the King of Shu, and on the edge of this power, there would inevitably be extremely powerful armed forces, and he believed that the people in Hanzhong must have received the message from the Song family, and they must not let him escape easily.
Xie Yang left Hanzhong, picked a dilapidated temple to rest, this temple has not known how many years of dilapidation, the statue has long collapsed, the temple is overgrown with weeds, a stone broken urn is placed in front of the collapsed statue, even the roof tiles are broken a large piece, the sun shines obliquely into the temple, this broken temple has not been popular for a long time, Xie Yang walked into the temple and felt cold, but it is much better than sleeping in the mountains and forests.
He planned to rest in the temple, but he was exhausted by the two-day escape, and Rao's iron body could not stand it, not to mention that he had no horses, and he had to rely on his legs to run, which was already at the end of his rope. Xie Yang lit a fire, leaned against the stone urn, and narrowed his clothes.
I don't know how long I rested, Xie Yang heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the temple in a hazy way, and listening to the sound, there were at least eight or nine people coming.
Xie Yang said that he was not good, so he quickly kicked over the fire and turned over and hid behind the collapsed statue.
The temple door was pushed open with a creak, and then several people walked into the temple, Xie Yang didn't dare to look around, and secretly clenched the green steel sword. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Xie Yang didn't dare to breathe, for fear of alarming them.
Listen to only one person: "This fire has not been extinguished, and there have been people here." ”
Another person said, "It seems that the information of the spies is accurate, Xie Yang entered Hanzhong City this morning and left in a moment, and the little flower at the head of the city saw Xie Yang coming this way." ”
Xie Yang's heart was shocked, it seemed that his whereabouts were completely controlled by the enemy, and the enemy's eyeliner was too much, and he had no way to hide.
Another voice came into Xie Yang's ears, "He should be nearby, he will definitely not be able to go far, inform Tang Zhen to block all the traffic arteries in Hanzhong, and he must not be allowed to leave this place alive."
Listening to the voice, Xie Yang knew that the person who came was Song Xuan. In the past, he and Song Xuan jointly rounded up the flower thief Mo Tailai vividly, and in a blink of an eye, he became his target. But Xie Yang is a person who does not give up easily, the more ferocious the enemy, the more he must live.
Song Xuan was scheming and said, "Search in the temple first."
Several people scattered in all directions, and a footstep rushed over to Xie Yang's hiding place.
Xie Yang's heart swelled with strong pride, as a descendant of the Yellow Heaven Sect, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of the sect, and he resolutely could not stand still.
After the visitor walked in, Xie Yang directly pulled out the sword and stabbed it violently, the enemy didn't have time to react, he was directly stabbed into the lower abdomen by his sword, and the screams rang out, Xie Yang withdrew the sword, kicked him out, and said, "Xie someone is here again, come over if you are not afraid of death!"
Xie Yang suddenly came out and killed the killer, which really surprised the children of the Song family present, Rao is Song Xuan's old Jianghu, facing Xie Yang who was at the end of his rope, he also gasped, he pretended to be calm and said, "Guard the gate and let Tang Zhen come over." A disciple of the Song family ran out of the door and shot a firework in his hand into the air.
