Qi Tao was not afraid in his heart. Compared with his desire for the nine-fifth position, he had already put life and death aside when he decided to fight. He looked at the young man who used his sword to break through the life-threatening Qi. , there was only a determination in his eyes to conquer this young man.
Without looking back, Gu Xiao never sensed what the two people behind him were thinking. He was just glad that behind Hejiabao, not only his martial arts realm had improved, but his keen awareness of dangers had also improved a lot. If he hadn't been there in time, Avoid it, and wait until the bandit explodes and dies before realizing it. Even if the three of them survive, they may be seriously injured.
Looking at the stumps scattered on the ground not far away, Gu Xiao withdrew his gaze and looked back. He saw that although Miss Mo and Mr. Yun were in a mess, they were not injured. Only then did he feel relieved and put his sword away in the case.
Thinking back carefully, the bandit's eyes just now were looking at the direction in which he was following Miss Mo up the mountain. Gu Xiao suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart and hurriedly turned around and spoke.
"Miss Mo, is the hiding place of the people in Mo County in that direction?"
Mo Ti saw the direction of the young man's finger and instantly understood what he meant. Panic appeared in her eyes, and she quickly stood up and said, "Yes, what Mr. Mu En means is..."
Qi Tao also understood the meaning of the young man's words at this moment, and said solemnly: "Brother Mu is saying that these bandits have discovered the hiding place of the people of Mo County."
Gu Xiao no longer had time to think carefully about whether his speculation was accurate. The words the bandit said under interrogation just before his body exploded and died had indeed revealed that these bandits were operating in the Yanbei Mountain behind Mo County. , Mr. Yun’s words are exactly what Gu Xiao is worried about.
Turning to look at the horses the three of them were riding, they saw that they had already been attacked by the zhenqi of the bandit who had exploded and died. His intestines were pierced and his stomach was rotten, and he fell to the ground dead.
"It seems we can't count on these horses." Gu Xiao thought to himself, looking back and continuing to speak.
"Miss Mo, Mr. Yun, those bandits may have discovered where the people are hiding...Miss Mo, you once said that General Wan would set up a patrol in Yanbei. In this case, why don't we divide our troops into two groups? You and Mr. Yun will mobilize troops to suppress the bandits first, while I will go ahead to rescue them in the mountains."
Mo Ti saw that the young man had captured the bandit with great light skills without any effort. He knew that the young man was even more powerful than the bandit, so he and Mr. Yun slowed down his speed of going to support... But he went there alone. It was too dangerous to go, so I immediately spoke out with concern.
"No, these bandits are highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless. It would be too dangerous for you to go alone... I will go with you."
Qi Tao also knew that the people on the mountain were in danger at the moment, and the young man's method was the safest. With his martial arts, even if the bandits were outnumbered and the young man was defeated, he could still try his best to delay and speak immediately.
"Mo Sicheng, if it is true as Brother Mu said, the bandits have already gone up the mountain. If you and I go together, it will only drag Brother Mu down. Why don't we just follow Brother Mu's advice and let's act separately. You are familiar with Mo County. We also know the location of the patrolling army... You lead the way, I will mobilize the troops, and we will return to Mo County to suppress the bandits."
Moti was in a dilemma and frowned. He had fought with those bandits over the years and knew that they were cunning and insidious. This time, they were not just looking for gold and silver, but they were even more ruthless. He was worried that the young man would die if he went alone.
But now, the three people sitting down and their horses have been killed by the zhenqi of the bandit who exploded and died. If they want to rush to the mountain to find out what's going on, they can only rely on the young man with the best Qinggong.
Seeing that Mo Sicheng was hesitant, Qi Tao couldn't think about it anymore. He exchanged glances with Mu Yi and immediately showed the gold medal arrow.
"Mo Sicheng listens to the order. I am here to order you to lead the way and take me to the patrol to mobilize troops."
Seeing the gold-medal command arrow, Mo Ti had no choice but to kneel down and obey the order. The young man behind her also asked: "Miss Mo, how can I find the place behind the mountain?"
Moti had already accepted the order to lead the way and mobilize troops. He no longer hesitated and pointed in the direction where the dead bandit was looking. He said, "Follow this road and walk about ten miles. That's It is expected that as soon as it protrudes from the mound, there is a hiding place under the mound."
After saying that, he remembered that Uncle Jiang and others might not trust this young man, so he took out something from the brown armor, handed it to the young man, and said softly: "Please do whatever it takes to protect the people of Mo County." life."
The young man only felt that the token was in his hand, and it seemed to still carry the girl's body temperature. He lowered his head and looked down. Lying in his hand was a golden hairpin. Without thinking much, he solemnly took it and put it in his arms, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Miss Mo, time is right." It's urgent, I'll leave immediately."
Qi Tao also asked: "Where is the patrol now?"
Moti calmed down his worries and said: "To the east of Yu County, to the west of Mo County... But we don't have horses to drive. If we walk, we may not be able to reach it in a day. How can we mobilize troops to ask for reinforcements?"
When Qi Tao heard this, he frowned and thought. Thinking of the Yanbei Border Pass, his mind moved and he continued to ask: "Can the beacon tower still be used?"
Moti was startled when he heard the words, and instantly understood the intention of Mr. Yun, and said in shock: "Master Imperial Envoy, you must not do it. There is a military order in Yanbei. Unless the Northern Jin Dynasty harasses and breaks the pass, you must not set the beacon tower on fire. This is a lie. The crime of military intelligence will punish the Nine Clans."
Qi Tao's eyes flashed: "If we don't deal with these bandits pretending to be Rangers of the Northern Jin Dynasty and let them continue like this, they will really be broken... The only ones closest to Mo County are the patrols. As long as the patrols When the garrison arrives, just send a horse to report the details here...Mo Sicheng just leads me to the beacon tower, and I will be responsible for any consequences."
Seeing Master Yun's determination, Mo Ti thought of his identity as an imperial envoy and the golden medal arrow, and secretly thought that this was the best way at this time. She nodded in agreement and led Mr. Yun towards the Mojun Beacon Tower.
When Gu Xiao saw the two people leaving, he firmly remembered the location of the beacon tower, turned over and jumped into the forest. He jumped up a few times and disappeared in the dead forest of the mountain in an instant.
——
At this time, at the entrance of the cave in the mountain, Wei Xie was torturing the man in front of him with great interest. After the fight, he discovered that this man was only tall and tall, and his martial arts skills were only the martial arts of bravery and military weapons. Wei Xie increasingly ignored him. In his eyes, he no longer drew the knife, but kept dodging.
The Tao brothers, who were originally searching for Mojun people hiding in the mountains in the forest, have rushed here. Seeing that Elder Wei has made a move with the man in the portrait, they all want to step forward to help, but are stopped by Wei Xie, who is in high spirits. With one word, he retreated.
"Go to that cave and catch all the sheep. Don't let any of them escape... It's cold here, and I just want to move around."
As he spoke, he easily avoided the man's punch and hit the strong man's chest with a backhand palm, knocking him back three or five steps before he stopped.
When everyone saw this, they laughed one after another and wanted to go to the cave that had been opened by the elder... The "sheep" mentioned by the elder were naturally the people of Mo County. For them, it was most comfortable to catch the lambs waiting for slaughter. errand.
The strong man was already covered in cuts and bleeding. When he heard his opponent speak and saw how rampant his gang of bandits were, he regretted it. If he had known that these bandits had great hands and eyes, they should not have hidden themselves in Mo County. The people of Mojun.
The burly man was none other than Yang Huchen, who had escaped from Yanbei City. Looking at the bandits walking towards the cave where the people of Mo County were hiding with a grin, Yang Huchen couldn't help but think that after Wanjun left that day, within a few days, he They have noticed something unusual in Yanbei City. When General Wan was there, there were Yanbei sergeants patrolling the city every day. In order to prevent spies from the Northern Jin Dynasty from entering the city, the defenses were changed every day.
But since General Wan left Yanbei and returned to his hometown to visit relatives, not only the street patrol sergeants in Yanbei City had changed into unfamiliar faces, but when he went out in casual clothes, he could clearly feel that someone was secretly watching him all the time.
Remembering that General Wan had asked him to look at the defense plans of the ten counties of Yanbei for him before leaving, Yang Huchen felt wary and hurriedly turned back to his home, put on his military armor, and headed to the Yanbei camp, but he did not expect that he would be waiting for him. When he arrived at the military camp, he was blocked by the gatekeepers, who told him bluntly that no one else was allowed to enter the military camp for discussions today.
Yang Huchen was immediately furious. He was a general under Wan Jun and the deputy commander of the army. He didn't know what was going on in the military camp. What's more, today was not a military meeting day.
Just as he was about to shout at the guards at the camp gate, he discovered that the soldiers guarding the camp gate had also changed. They were not the personal soldiers left by General Wan. When he looked up, he saw more new faces looking at him coldly. The weapon and arrow feathers were already in his hands tightly, with a hint of murderous intent, and his heart trembled. Could it be that what the military was worried about was really going to happen.
Immediately suppressing his anger, he reined in his horse and returned, galloping all the way... When Yang Huchen returned to Yanbei City, the city gate had already been closed. Yang Huchen reported his name to the towering tower of Yanbei City and angrily shouted at the city guards to open the door. Unexpectedly, he was greeted by It's not the soldiers checking their identities, but the arrows flying all over the sky...
Fortunately, Yang Huchen was not one of those young generals who had never experienced the baptism of war. As soon as the sound of arrows pierced the sky, he had already reacted. He quickly clamped the horse's belly tightly and turned sideways to hide in the horse's belly with his superb horse control skills...
Just for a moment, the horse's neighing sound of pain rang in his ears, and the "puff" sound of the sharp arrow piercing the horse's body was heard together. Before he could abandon the horse, Yang Huchen was pressed tightly by the fallen horse. , unable to move, I heard the sound of arrow rain coming again, Yang Huchen and his horse were all covered by the rain of arrows...
Not long after, the heavy gate of Yanbei City slowly opened, and with a loud friction sound, the general led more than ten Yanbei soldiers out slowly, walking towards the motionless body of Yang Huchen outside the city.
"Sir, this time Yang Huchen has thrown himself into a trap and put us in a situation where we are bound to die. There is nothing to worry about." A soldier flattered the leading general.
"Don't underestimate Yang Huchen. He is a powerful arm. He has experienced the bloody battle that year. Go check it out and confirm that he is dead before we can take the next step with peace of mind." The leading general's face was hidden behind the Under the hood, it was already dark and his face could not be seen clearly.
The soldiers behind him saluted with a military salute, and quickly gathered around Yang Huchen's body. Looking at Yang Huchen, whose legs were pinned down by a war horse and covered with arrow feathers, the leading soldier sneered and said to himself: "Your Excellency, you think too highly of this Yang Huchen. He was shot by a powerful crossbow and looked like this. Even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid he will only have one breath..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud shout, and the "corpse" of Yang Huchen, covered with arrows and feathers, jumped up and rushed towards him...
"Quick...stop..."
Before he finished speaking, the soldier's body and head were separated. Before the several gunmen behind him could react, they saw Yang Huchen's body covered with arrows, holding a saber and rushing towards the back of his general.
The leading general obviously did not expect that Yang Huchen could be so fierce, with his body full of crossbow arrows, and that he could kill his own soldiers with one blow. Seeing him charging at him with a knife, he hurriedly touched his waist to draw his sword to resist, but Yang Huchen's The bloody saber was already placed at his neck.
"Don't move, or I will kill him." Yang Huchen shouted angrily with blood in his mouth. At the same time, he was secretly glad in his heart. Before going to the Yanbei Camp today, he always felt that something was wrong. In the middle of the suit and armor, there was another Wearing a layer of protective soft armor, it was this protective soft armor that just saved his life.
But those powerful crossbows still penetrated the soft armor, but they didn't penetrate the body much and were not fatal. He used his own tricks to deceive these people.
Yang Huchen thought, his eyes swept over the faces of these soldiers, and saw that they were all just like Yanbei Camp, with unfamiliar faces. He thought to himself, it seems that these people are here for the defense plan mentioned by the military gate. The most important thing at the moment is Yes, we should try to enter the city first, go to the general's mansion, take the defense map, and then try to hide, and wait until General Wan returns to deal with them.
After making up his mind, he spoke in a low voice to the leading general who was captured by him.
"If you don't want to die, take me into the city."
Some people died, but not completely...
