The Red Cloud Temple in the early years is now dilapidated and has become a paradise for foxes and wolves.

I don't know what the reason is, but in the past six months, it seems that people are thriving here, and people can be found walking around every night.

Although there was no light, someone with a heart still found the clue.

This person is none other than Qiu Wanshan, a disciple of the Eight Bags of Beggar Gang.

Hongyun Temple is on the top of the mountain forty-five miles north-west of Jiguan Mountain, starting from Jiguan Mountain, you can reach Hongyun Temple by climbing up along the ridge all the way.

According to Qiu Wanshan's Jianyì, Han Bingru, who was the weakest, was left in the Land Temple of Jiguan Mountain.

Because the next few days are all in the mountains and mountains, the horses are no longer useful, but will expose their goals.

Originally, the third son was supposed to stay, but he said that he was most familiar with Yiqiē in the mountains and could help his father lead the way, so Xiong Chu took him with him.

Although Xiong Chu was extremely wary of Jiudao Villa, and the cooperation with Pu Changnian was also based on mutual use, the last news of Qiu Wanshan, a disciple of the Eight Bags of Beggars, finally made Xiong Chu break out in a cold sweat.

"What are you talking about, Wolong Valley? What are you kidding, although the terrain of that place is suitable for fire attack, but a big ditch in the middle doesn't know how many people can hide, and it is impossible to burn people to death. ”

Before going up the mountain, when Qiu Wanshan denied Xiong Chu's statement, he had an ominous premonition.

"Besides, because it is the remains of Emperor Guangwu, there are often people who go in to visit it, and no matter what secrets they have, it is impossible to keep them. Even I have been in no less than ten times, let alone those literati and inkmen. ”

"Let's put it this way, for more than a thousand years, every grass in Wolong Valley has been seen. Now I suddenly say that I found something strange inside, and no one believes it. ”

When Qiu Wanshan made this explanation, Xiong Chu already felt that he was likely to fall for Pu Changnian. The only thing that is not clear now is what Pu Changnian wants to achieve.

Regarding this issue, it is not easy for Xiong Chu to come up with it for discussion, because he has no real evidence, and more than ten people from Jiudao Mountain Villa led by Wuchenzi and Xia Yun are also in Funiu Mountain.

If it is said that Pu Changnian is ready to sacrifice both Wuchenzi and Xia Yun, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. Because after sacrificing Wuchenzi and Xia Yun, Jiudao Villa still didn't get anything.

So, Pu Changnian made Xiong Chu go around in a big circle and wasted four days in vain, why?

Xiong Chu left the Land Temple of Jiguan Mountain with this huge question mark, and entered the mountain with the third son on the fourth watch, striving to get close to observe the Hongyun Temple.

"The firearms battalion from the Beijing Division, the Chinese military tent is set up in Hongyun Temple, and the preset battlefield for preparing to completely annihilate the rebels is in Shimiaogou, fifteen miles northeast of Hongyun Temple. The southwest side of Shimiaogou is a cliff, and the northeast direction is a relatively gentle downhill road, which is also the best direction to escape. ”

"However, there is a bow and crossbow battalion in Baitugang, twenty miles northeast of Shimiaogou, and it is guarded by the river, and those people in the martial arts can't get through from here at all. The only way out left is to the southeast, attacking Nanyang City. You have already seen it, and it is simply a dream that more than a hundred people want to open the defense of Nanyang City. ”

"News came at noon today, Yuan Moyun and they have come from Baotianman and arrived at Qinglongbei. The situation now is that those people have been divided into two factions due to infighting. ”

"One of the factions insisted on continuing to chase and kill the Jinyi Guard to the east, worshipping Ma Mingjiu, in fact, they just wanted to get the dragon scale purple gold knife. The main figures of this school are Yuan Moyun, Gao Changming, and the master of Shaolin Temple. ”

"There is also a faction that advocates an immediate withdrawal, and the main representatives are the people of the Yellow River Pai Gang, the Luoyang Purple Yi Faction, the Qinglong Village and the Jiudao Villa. However, their strength was too weak to stop Yuan Moyun and the three of them from making a decision. ”

"Now we divide labor and cooperate, you enter the mountain to contact your own people, and I will lead the beggars to rush to Baitugang, and strive to contain the bow and crossbow battalion and prevent them from reinforcing the first line of Shimiaogou. ”

"If I hadn't shown up with you, that's what I had planned. Therefore, the beggar gang disciples are hiding on the side of Baitugang, fighting to control a part of the bow and crossbow camp in Baitugang, opening a gap and leaving a glimmer of life for those people. ”

"Now that you're here, and there are your people in the mountains, it's better for you to go into the mountains to find them than I do. But remember, you can save as much as you can, and you can't trap more people because of one person. ”

After Qiu Wanshan finished speaking, he left, handing over the Jiguan Mountain Land Temple to Han Bingru and the three horses. Prince Xiong repeatedly told Han Bingru to pay attention to her own safety, and it was best not to live in the temple.

Now, the Red Cloud Temple was less than ten miles ahead, and the Xiong Chu threw away all the question marks in his mind and began to make a comprehensive observation of the surrounding environment.

For firearms, Xiong Chu had no impression in his heart at all, and the only thing he could think of was the cannon on the upper floor of Luoyang City, which was said to be called Franc Ji.

But the castle tower is heavily guarded by guards, and you can't see it if you want to. Xiong Chu had never seen what it looked like to open a cannon, and he didn't know why.

Everyone will be on high alert for mysterious things they have never seen, and Xiong Chu, who is a killer, is no exception.

As a killer, he will never perform light skills until the critical moment.

The more light you work, the faster you will be. The faster the speed, the louder the wind will be.

Performing light skills in the middle of the night can deal with ordinary people, that is, to scare those who do not know martial arts, but it is absolutely impossible to hide from vigilant soldiers.

He asked Xiao Sanzi to follow slowly behind him, almost stopping step by step.

People who have internal strength cultivation are different from ordinary people, although they do not perform light skills, but after lifting the internal force, they can almost minimize the sound of their feet hitting the ground, so that it is easier to listen to the movements around them.

Sure enough, after walking forward less than three hundred zhang in this way, Xiong Chu faintly heard the sound of a fight coming from his left front.

Although it was intermittent due to the mountain wind, after five breaths, he finally determined that there was a fight in front of him on the left.

There was a sound of fighting in this place, and of course Xiong Chu wanted to go over to take a look, and his feet also increased slightly.

Rounding a small mountain mouth, I finally saw two figures shuttling through the woods, and the two of them were silent, and it was a strange muffled fight.

Although Xiong Chu's eyesight is outstanding, it is still too far away to see who is fighting, and he must lean up to distinguish clearly.

If you want to touch it, you can't walk directly, so Xiong Chu used his snake walking technique, like a poisonous snake swimming forward, so that the little third son behind him couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

The swordsmanship of the Hengshan faction, which is specially explained on the stone wall of the cave.

So when Xiong Chu was less than ten zhang away from the scene of the fight, he finally saw it clearly: the teacher of the Hengshan faction was the master of Lu Mengling, who was killed not long ago.

The opponent used a treasure knife, and Xiong Chu immediately reacted, this guy who used the knife was likely to be the legendary Jinyi Wei worshipping Ma Mingjiu.

This is also very understandable, one of his apprentices was killed, and it is unjustifiable for the master not to come forward to take revenge. Moreover, the Hengshan faction, as one of the six major sects, can also be regarded as the leader of Hunan and Liangguang.

The gate faction should not be insulted, of course Xiong Chu understands this truth.

After observing the ten rounds of fighting between the two sides, Xiong Chu finally understood why the two of them didn't speak, because in this mountain forest, they couldn't even see the skylight, and it was almost dark.

In other words, now the two of them are fighting blindly. Whoever speaks up will take the initiative to expose the target.

Both sides of the war are old fritters in the rivers and lakes, and they have great experience in actual combat. Not only did he not make a sound from his mouth, but he didn't even make the slightest sound when he made a move in his hand.

The sound that Xiong Chu could hear was the collision of weapons. He also judged that the two people fought for ten rounds based on the number of weapons collisions.

Now, Xiong Chu is very entangled in his heart.

According to the principle of common hatred and hatred, the Hengshan faction should be helped. However, this teacher is too famous in the rivers and lakes, and his face is bigger than the sky. What if I interfere indiscriminately and the teacher kills himself in a fit of rage?

No, this can't be risked.

Xiong Chu thought about it carefully, and finally decided that it was better to be a qualified bystander. Now the situation is complicated, and more is better than less.

People have a rebellious mentality, and some subconscious behaviors will arise from this.

Xiong Chu decided to be a good spectator, and naturally there would be nothing to do, so he wanted to see the various moves of the opposing sides clearly, which is understandable.

The ancients said: The stones of the mountains can attack jade. Observation is the best way to learn, and it is also a rare opportunity to summarize.

Thinking of being a good spectator and watching with full attention, Xiong Chu unconsciously swam forward, and in a blink of an eye, he was less than five feet away from the two people, and then pressed his body against a large bluestone, merging with the earth.

This is the killer's instinct, and the bear chu did not make a mistake.

Another ability of the killer is to endure loneliness. Once in the groove, you put everything behind and concentrate on your goals.

Now, every move and style of the two people is very clear, and Xiong Chu can watch it with relish.

Because the two of them were worried about bringing the wind, they were very slow to make moves. All of them were in slow motion, slower than when Xiong Chu taught Huo Lianshan swordsmanship.

The slow movement of the two men gave Xiong Chu a good opportunity to deduce how he should respond.

This deduction was fascinating, and as a result, Xiong Chu seemed to have forgotten where he was, and as if he had already joined the battle, so it was even harder than that teacher Tai and Ma Mingjiu.

Because he not only has to deal with Shitai's swordsmanship, but also Ma Mingjiu's swordsmanship.

In particular, the moves of the two masters are extremely exquisite, and Xiong Chu often needs to think about it to know what people want to do with this move, and then he can think of countermeasures.

It is equivalent to Xiong Chu fighting against the two masters alone, and he can't work hard if he doesn't want to.

As a result, in less than a quarter of an hour, Xiong Chu was already sweating all over.

It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about himself, because he has already thrown himself into the battle with all his body and mind, and has entered a state of selflessness.

The two masters exchanged more than 70 moves, and when half an hour passed, Xiong Chu suddenly found that the teacher was too fooled.

Ma Mingjiu should have deliberately let the dragon scale purple gold knife in his right hand bring a trace of wind, because Xiong Chu found that this knife was completely slashed into the air, which was fundamentally different from the direction where the teacher was standing.

If the teacher is too motionless, Ma Mingjiu's knife will be in vain and will not be able to play any role at all.

But the teacher was too obviously not aware of the mystery, but instinctively stepped forward, and the sword in his right hand shook, and it was already stabbed forward.

There is no salvation in the palm of the blood and rotten bones, and it is known as the first evil palm in the rivers and lakes.

The teacher stabbed out with a sword, and his right rib was just exposed within the range of Ma Mingjiu's left palm. K
