Martial law has been completely implemented in Sichuan and Chongqing counties.
The streets that used to be crowded with people seemed to have become empty overnight, the shops were closed, the vendors disappeared, and several teams of soldiers patrolled back and forth on the streets.
The city gate has also been closed, and even the dog hole at the base of the city wall has been sealed. Only entry is allowed but no exit is allowed.
County Lieutenant Xu Boyi stood on the top of the city, wearing a red armor. After encountering a problem with the Shenxing Escort Bureau, he felt unhappy and directly ordered the county seat to be sealed off.
Unless that person can fly, he will not be able to get out.
As long as you can't get out, you will definitely be found out.
"call out!"
Suddenly, a dart was shot at him. His expression changed drastically, and his steps moved slightly. On one side of his body, the dart almost touched the tip of his nose and nailed the bluestone wall behind with a "ding" sound.
From a rooftop not far away, a figure jumped down and quickly disappeared.
"Where to go!"
Xu Boyi jumped to the roof in one step. From a high position, he saw the figure running at the entrance of the alley at a glance. He sneered: "Trying the tiger away from the mountain? Humph!"
But instead of returning to the tower, he chased after him.
The two chased and escaped. The man in front was very fast, but Xu Boyi's speed was not slow either. The distance between the two shortened from more than ten meters to ten meters, and then remained at ten meters without changing.
Several hundred meters later, the two men appeared at an alley, but Xu Boyi did not follow them. He stopped.
The man in black robes in front also stopped. He turned around with a bronze mask on his face. It was the deacon the gray man mentioned.
The bronze masked man looked at Xu Boyi and said, "Why don't you chase me?"
Xu Boyi said: "The seniors are extremely powerful, but the juniors are not as good as them. There must be something important for me to bring you here."
"Do you know that I lured you here on purpose?" The bronze masked man was a little surprised.
Xu Boyi nodded and said straight to the point: "Senior, please explain clearly why I have been brought here?"
"You're good! With the help of your own strength, you eradicated the cancerous Shuangsha Gang in one fell swoop. Not only did you gain fame, but you also gained a lot of money. If Xu Guang hadn't seen through the plan, the secret book and all the Shuangsha Gang's treasures would have fallen into the hands of In your hands!”
When the other party revealed his plan in one fell swoop, Xu Boyi's face became extremely ugly.
Outsiders only saw that the Shuangsha Gang was eliminated and the Shenxing Escort Bureau gained the most. Little did they know that he was also a vested interest. If the Shenxing Escort Bureau had not taken action in the end, he would have been the biggest gainer.
In fact, from the moment Black Tornado Zhang Kui came to him, he had already been secretly planning to let the Shuangsha Gang and Shenxing Escorts fight so that both sides would lose, and then he would reap the benefits of Wenwen.
It's a pity that the Shenxing Escort Bureau's background is too strong, and Xu Guang's methods are even more powerful, but the Shuangsha Gang was still eliminated. His plan only gained half of the benefits, but the benefits were still huge.
Just like this time when the county prison was robbed, he had neglected his duties, but he eliminated the cancer of the Shuangsha Gang. This credit was enough to offset the fault of the prison being robbed. Of course, if the mastermind can be caught, his position will move up.
Xu Boyi looked at the bronze masked man and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The bronze mask said: "Can you guess?"
Xu Boyi frowned and said after a moment: "Are you from that organization?"
"You saved your own life!" the bronze masked man said, throwing out a black iron mask.
Xu Boyi looked at the bronze mask on the other person's face, then at the piece in his hand, and said, "Senior, do you want me to join your organization?"
Seeing the other party nodding, he added: "I am an official, and you are a powerful force in the world. Aren't you afraid?"
The bronze masked man said: "There are many organizations with a higher rank than you, including officials of the third rank and above in the imperial court. Take this, and from now on, you will be a practitioner of our organization!"
Xu Boyi had no choice but to accept it obediently, because he knew that if he didn't accept it today, he would probably die here.
"very good!"
The bronze masked man threw him another roll of paper and said, "This is your first mission when you join our organization. Catch him and I will ensure that you break through to become a martial arts master within three years!"
"It's him!"
Xu Boyi looked at the familiar face on the paper. The content on it was exactly the same as that for the man in gray.
The bronze mask said humanely: "Have you seen him too?"
Xu Boyi nodded and said: "This person is the mastermind of the prison robbery last night. He was rescued by the people from Shenxing Escort last night."
"You mean he's at Shenxing Escort Agency?"
Seeing him nodding, the bronze masked man said happily: "Let's go! Go to Shenxing Escort Agency now!"
"etc!"
Xu Boyi suddenly stopped him and said: "That man saved Xu Guang's life. Xu Guang will definitely not hand him over easily. He will probably send him out of the house secretly."
"What do you think should be done?" Bronze Mask said humanely.
Xu Boyi said: "Immediately mobilize heavy troops, surround the Shenxing Escort Agency, search with all your strength, don't miss any place! But..." There was a look of embarrassment on his face again.
The bronze masked man snorted coldly and said, "Just search with all your strength. As long as I'm here, they won't be able to overturn the situation!"
He flicked the sleeves of his robe, and the broad black robe moved automatically without the wind. The next moment, the man stood up from the ground and walked through the air.
"Go and mobilize your troops quickly!"
The voice gradually faded away. Zhang Boyi looked at the disappearing figure and said to himself: "Walking in the wind, martial arts master!"
He had already imagined that the opponent was a master, but he did not expect that he was a martial arts master. Everyone who practices martial arts does not know the gap between martial arts masters and martial arts masters. It is a natural chasm. Throughout the ages, there are countless warriors who have spent their entire lives unable to cross it. past.
"With this person here, Xu Guang, let me see how you can break the situation this time?"
A strange smile appeared on his face. He originally thought that the plan for the Shenxing Escort Agency had been terminated, but he never expected that the plan would be able to proceed again due to a sudden turn of events.
This time, he will definitely not miss the opportunity to eradicate the Shenxing Escort Agency!
East gate.
Xu Boyi dressed in fine clothes and rode over on a tall horse, followed by two soldiers with guns.
"grown ups!"
The soldiers guarding the city immediately saluted. Xu Boyi nodded and said, "Open the door!"
The leading soldier's expression changed and he said: "Sir, this city gate has just been sealed, now open it..."
"What do you know?"
Xu Boyi interrupted him and said: "Seal the door and you will never be able to catch anyone. You notify us and all the guards will evacuate. The city gate will be wide open and you guys will be guarding in secret!"
The leading soldier understood: "Sir, are you trying to lure a snake out of its hole?"
Xu Boyi glared at him, and the man said "I understand", then opened the city gate and informed all the guards to withdraw.
Two hours later.
Xu Boyi was wearing a red armor and riding a tall and strong bay-red horse. His face was extremely ugly. When he saw the city gate open, he roared: "Who gave way to the city gate?"
Several soldiers guarding the city were so frightened that they rolled and crawled in front of them. The leading soldier trembled and said: "Sir, this is... the door you let go of."
Xu Boyi was stunned and said: "What? Did I get out of the way? When did it happen?"
The man said: "An hour ago!"
Xu Boyi laughed angrily: "You... you are really talented! How could the city gate that I had just sealed with my front foot open with my back foot? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The anger he had suffered at the Shenxing Escort Agency suddenly burst out, and he slapped the man away, causing him to lose his breath on the spot.
Xu Boyi has realized that the people who opened the door and ran away must be Wang Cheng. An hour has passed, and now he can no longer catch up even if he wants to.
Dozens of miles away, Wang Cheng and the other three had recovered their appearance.
Wang Cheng walked in front, Yang Si led the horse behind, and immediately sat Zhang Xiaosheng, who was dressed in rich clothes.
"Haha! I guess Xu Boyi's lungs are about to explode now!" Yang Si laughed wantonly, which made Xu Boyi feel more deflated and happier than anything else he could do.
Zhang Xiaosheng slapped Yang Si on the head and said: "I didn't expect you, a little bald donkey, to know such amazing skills as disguise. Without you this time, we would really have to work hard to escape."
The three of them kept walking along the path. In the evening, a village appeared in front of them.
The village is built close to the mountain. There are no alleys for each house, and the houses are connected together, like a half-moon-shaped fortress. There is only one gate left, with the name "Lin Family Fort" written on it.
The door was closed. Wang Cheng stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a long time, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, but he was very tall, half a head taller than Wang Cheng, who was 1.78 meters tall. He was wearing rough linen clothes, which he couldn't even wear for such a big body. Commoner.
He squinted his eyes, and Wang Cheng felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, so he showed a smile that he thought was very kind and said: "Old man, our grandparents and grandson have been traveling for days. It's getting late now, so we want to borrow some money." It’s a precious place to rest for one night, please make it a convenience!”
He handed over a piece of silver, and the old man took it and said expressionlessly: "Come in!"
The houses in the fort were tall and the bluestone paved road was wide. The three of them followed the old man Azabu as they walked in. They didn't meet anyone along the way and it was very quiet.
The old man Azabu, whose surname is Lin, is the owner of the fort. There are hundreds of households in the entire fort, and almost all of them are named Lin.
Lord Limbaugh led the three of them into an empty house. After a while, he brought another plate of food.
Yang Si was about to have a fit on the spot when he saw it, but after being glared at by Wang Cheng, he immediately shut his mouth.
When Lord Limburg left, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He looked at the gray bowl of rice, which contained soybeans and wheat, and complained: "What the hell, are you just going to let us eat these pig food?"
This is bean-wheat rice. Beans and unpeeled wheat seeds are steamed together. It is the most common meal among farmers, but that was hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, everyone is accustomed to grinding wheat into flour. No one eats beans, wheat and rice for a long time, and it has become pig rations!
"If I had known this, you shouldn't have given him money!"
Yang Si was angry. Before entering, he noticed that many people had bacon and roast chicken hanging under the eaves. He didn't know how much of these things he could buy with a piece of silver.
Wang Cheng and Zhang Xiaosheng looked at each other, with inexplicable expressions on their faces.
There is no good food. It seems that the owner here does not welcome them!
The three of them lost interest in eating, drank some water, and hurriedly went to bed.
In the middle of the night, the door opened gently, and a figure slipped out from the crack of the door, as slippery as a loach.
At the same time, Wang Cheng, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, shook his head, and closed them again.
After a while, Wang Cheng heard a noise, and he could vaguely hear it coming towards them.
"Quick! We can't let them get away!"
