Chapter 55: A Plan to Fish in Troubled Waters

Even if Wu Zheng deliberately lowered his body, he was still recognized by Jiang Hai.

Although Jiang Hai also received a stone on his mouth, he still ignored the blood in his mouth and shouted in a slurred voice:

"Head, head, that's him, that's the little bastard. ”

Suddenly, the three men and one woman besieging the Iron Sword Gate on the official road all stopped, and following the direction indicated by Jiang Hai, they only saw a thin back fleeting, and then there were traces of branches and shrubs shaking, extending all the way to the depths of the mountain.

"Chase!"

Zhao Ming, the head catcher, gave an order, and it was the four or five people who were hit by the stones, including Jiang Hai, who also left the four senior brothers and sisters of the Iron Sword Gate at the same time, and plunged into the wilderness, chasing down the traces of shaking branches and shrubs.

Seeing that the figures of the head-hunting servants gradually disappeared into the wilderness and trees that had not yet returned to green in the distance, the female disciple of the Iron Sword Sect asked the three senior brothers:

"Third Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, what should I do?"

In fact, the four of them were very embarrassed at this time, and if they caught up, they would inevitably offend the government, and they would disobey the master's order before going out. Don't chase it, a teenager, in this strange wilderness, sooner or later will fall into the hands of the head catcher and the servant. No matter how you say it, you are here to defect to the senior sister, and you are always sorry for your conscience when you leave.

In the end, it was the third senior brother who said:

"Let's take a look at it from a distance. ”

In fact, the third senior brother still hasn't said half a sentence, that is, "What if Wu Zheng can escape from the head catcher and the servants"?

For Wu Zheng, the wilderness mountains and forests in the world are almost the same.

Whether it is the Nanshan Mountain of Wujiabao, whether it is the back slope of Dabei Mountain in Houpo Village, including the outside of Shuntian City at the foot, it is the same. It's nothing more than a slight difference in the species of trees in the mountains, nothing more than a slight difference in the color of the soil and rocks under your feet.

Therefore, in Wu Zheng's eyes, there is no strange or familiar mountain at all, only those who have been there or have not been there.

Especially Wu Zheng has always walked in the mountains and wilderness, following the footprints of wild beasts. This is an instinctive choice for most people who are accustomed to life in the mountains, and when they walk in the untouched and uninhabited mountains, it is enough to save their lives. Because, the path that the beast walks will never lead itself into a desperate situation.

It can be seen that the footprints under his feet should be from wild boars. And not one head, but a group. Wu Zheng's heart is more steady.

You don't have to look back at all, you can hear by your voice that the people on the official road have been led in by yourself. In this way, as long as a few more of them are injured without being caught, the annoyed and angry Shuntianfu will inevitably be angry with Tie Xianniang's junior brothers and sisters, and even the sect behind them.

Although it has not yet been finalized, Wu Zheng already has the idea of rescuing the iron thread girl on death row, so he will come up with this strategy.

Art of War: Fishing in troubled waters. Only by taking advantage of the chaos, or forcing Tie Xianniang's division into a corner, can he create opportunities for himself.

No one thought that a teenage doll would run faster and faster in the strange wilderness, and soon left the catcher and the servant behind him a large distance, and it was even difficult to see the swaying traces of the branches and bushes driven by the young man in front of him.

At this point, the four people of the Iron Sword Gate, who were far behind the catcher and the servant, also stopped with confidence.

"Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, Eighth Senior Sister, it seems that our worries are unnecessary, Wu Zheng is obviously a child who is familiar with the mountains and wilderness. It is impossible for the catchers and servants of Shuntianfu to catch up with him, so let's go back. ”

"Third Senior Brother, is this really the way you go?"

"Hehe, junior sister, you won't change your hexagram, right?"

Of course, I guessed her thoughts from the face of the eighth senior sister, and when she was dining in the city at noon, she also reminded the master to repeatedly ask not to ask about the senior sister, but after seeing Wu Zheng who came to join the senior sister, the eighth senior sister's heart was shaken.

"Senior sister, let's go, go back and discuss with the master first, everything is in time. ”

The four of them turned around and returned to the official road in the east of Suncheon City, returned to the city, and went out of the north gate all the way north.

And Zhang Qian and Zhao Ming, the head catchers who led more than a dozen catchers and more than 20 officials to track down Wu Zheng's whereabouts all the way, finally stopped at sunset. One by one, they were panting, sweating like pulp, their mouths were dry, and they didn't even have the strength to scold angrily.

After a moment of respite, Zhang Qian instructed Jiang Hai and Hong Sheng:

"The two of you took a few other wounded brothers, hurried back to the mansion to tell the master, and sent more people to search the mountain overnight. We stayed to spy on the homeless teenagers. As it stands, even if the juvenile is not the culprit of the burglary, it is highly likely that he has some connection with the burglar. ”

Of course, Zhang Qian was making excuses for his group that he couldn't even catch a teenager. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to face Fu Yin Cai Ruji when he returned empty-handed.

Zhang Qian had already expected in his heart that even if the garrison was sent out to search the mountain, it would be impossible to catch the fleeing teenager, so his unreasonable inference would naturally never be confirmed.

"Brother Zhang, the brothers are all thirsty, do you want to wait for reinforcements by the stream below first?"

They are all head catchers who have worked in the government for many years, what is Zhang Qian's plan in his heart, how could Zhao Ming not guess it? Moreover, Zhao Ming knew better that Zhang Qian, who was nearly ten years older than him, should be thirstier and more tired at this time, so he spoke out and gave Zhang Qian a step.

Zhang Qian and Zhao Ming tacitly glanced at each other, and then waved their hands and said to the head-catcher beside them:

"Let's go, go to the stream at the bottom of the valley and rest for a while, and wait for the reinforcements sent by Lord Fu Yin. ”

The quick officer, who had been waiting for this order for a long time, turned around and ran towards the stream below the mountain.

Wu Zheng, who didn't run far, always observed the fast catchers who were chasing after him. If they are allowed to return, then all the work done today will be in vain. So, when he saw that the servants were running down the hill, they followed them down, until they saw that the men were only going to the stream to drink, and then they stopped and hid themselves in the dense bushes.

Wu Zheng was also thirsty, looked at it for a while, and raised his hand to throw out more than a dozen stones one after another.

How could the head-catcher, who was busy drinking water and washing his face, think that the young man who was being chased not only did not be scared away, but attacked them again? Almost no one was lucky enough to dodge, even Zhang Qian and Zhao Ming were also taken aback.

was really mad, and Zhang Qian, who had always been moody, couldn't help it.

"Damn the eight lambs, Lao Tzu wanted to ...... ,”

I almost said what was in my heart.

"I thought I would clean you up again, but it was really the king of Hades who told you to die in the third watch, and no one dared to stay until the fifth watch. Brothers, whoever took the lead in catching the small wild seeds, this head catcher asked Lord Yin for merit on his behalf, and was promoted to the third head catcher of Shuntian Mansion. ”

The government is ready to add two more heads, everyone is clear, how can they not believe it when they hear Zhang Qian, who has always been a talker, say this?

Catching heads is different from catching fast, and it is even more different from the servants, in addition to being a grandson in front of Master Fu Yin, the master who can walk sideways in the entire Shuntian City, who doesn't envy it?

Suddenly, the spirited head hunters roared, and rushed up the mountain again.
