In the dark mountain forest, dozens of people including Yuan Yourong, Chen Guiyan and others ran quickly, crossing the river valley and heading straight to the opposite mountain.
They don't know what Xin Zhuo and his gang are up to, so they have the confidence to sing folk songs with strange accents to provoke them? Are you really not afraid of death?
In order to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, they made adequate and reasonable deployment of manpower and surrounded them in a fan shape from east to west. Even if the little thief Xin Zhuo was not weak in martial arts, they would have no way to escape if one side was blocked and supported by all sides. .
However, no one encountered anything unusual as they pushed along until they gathered at the foot of a thousand-foot cliff.
Xinzhuo's people were at the top of the cliff just now.
"Canglanglang..."
The swords, guns, swords and halberds were unsheathed one after another. The people of the four families abandoned all distracting thoughts and slowly pressed up to the top of the cliff with stern expressions.
Step by step, getting closer.
Then,
I saw the torches still burning on the top of the cliff, and there was a mess all around, including potato peels, rags, wild fruit leaves...
But there was not even half a human figure.
The raised swords all fell down, and a trace of surprise flashed in Murong Lei's eyes: "There is no reason!"
"Could they be flying?"
Song Dongxi kicked the torch away and looked around. The pride and confidence he had felt just now was gone.
They were sure that the speed was fast enough, and they had not missed any place in the entire mountain forest. They had even carefully observed the treetops, and it was absolutely impossible to miss a single person.
But all the other parties disappeared!
"Amen a vine in front...wahahahaha..."
On the other side of the mountain stream, at the top of the mountain where they had just arrived, a torch was also lit, and there was a burst of strange tunes and laughter.
The bright torches were enough to illuminate seven or eight figures around them, which were Xin Zhuo and the others.
The two sides changed positions strangely at this time.
"Crack!"
Someone's weapon fell on the hard rock on the ground.
As the elites of the Four Families, they had accompanied the government to annihilate the murderous gangsters, and participated in martial arts viewing events in the surrounding prefectures and famous mountains, so they naturally had good vision and means.
But this is the first time I’ve seen such an elusive and hide-and-seek bandit. What’s going on?
"Isn't the bandit Xin Zhuo good at magic?" someone asked.
Yuan Yourong and Chen Guiyan remained silent, but the veins on their foreheads slowly appeared. This kind of innocent play made it difficult not to get angry.
On the opposite side of the hill.
"Amen..." Huang Dagui's hoarse and barbaric tenor voice was very harsh.
"The second-in-command should stop singing. It's weird. You don't have the voice of the first-in-command."
Murong Xiu patted Huang Dagui awkwardly and said to Xin Zhuo: "Master, how did you calculate that they were going up the mountain at this time, just staggered from us, and just sliding down the cliff vines, my heart jumped into my throat."
The reason why they disappeared perfectly into the circle surrounded by the four families was because they did not take the normal route to escape. Instead, they slid down the vines on the top of the cliff and climbed to the top of the mountain.
The advantage of doing this is that you won't be surrounded, but the disadvantage is that you may be blocked when you go down the cliff.
It is very dangerous to act in vain and lack transparency of information.
"Inertial thinking, they saw that we were on the opposite side, eighteen or ninety feet away. With their lightness, it was impossible to leap over. It was too dark at night and they could not see clearly the vines on the opposite cliff. Even if they saw it, they would not be able to go down the cliff. Climbing up, doesn’t that give us time to run away?
The only way normal people think is to outflank us. From the moment they see us, they need one-third sticks of incense to consider, and then go down the mountain and cross the river. The two sides are about fifteen miles apart. With their level, they need at least two sticks of incense to enter. Opposite the woods.
On the way, we have to be careful of the treetops and hidden thorn bushes around to prevent us from hiding. When we reach the cliff on the opposite side, we need at least four sticks of incense!
After such a long time, we can just come here, leisurely look for firewood and light a bunch of torches! "
Xin Zhuo stretched himself, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked at the four people on the other side who were already a little angry. He was thinking about a question:
How on earth can I kill these people! Make a sacrifice for me!
If it weren't for improving their realm, ghosts would play with them.
Behind him, Murong Xiu and Cui Ying'er looked at his back and couldn't help but feel numb.
The boss...has his calculations gone so far? Isn’t this a little bit devilish?
"I understand!" Bai Jian raised her orchid fingers and smiled, "When they are gone, we go down the mountain and climb to the other side. Hey, it's just for fun! Haha..."
"Xigou, we can't be too naive! They are not fools." Xin Zhuo said, "This time they will probably leave manpower at the top of the opposite cliff, or set up hidden sentries along the way. Anyone who is not guarded will be bitten. The same routine will be played twice." Void."
Bai Jian shrank his neck: "Then I don't understand, I just listen to the boss."
At this time, Xin Zhuo suddenly shouted to the opposite side: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, I only have the head of a bandit leader. You four families come together and make me very embarrassed!"
Based on what I know about you, the person who beheaded me first must be Young Master Song Dongxi. The Song family beats the other three families and is extremely cool. Who doesn’t know that? "
There was silence on the other side at first, and soon Song Dongxi's cold voice came: "What you said makes sense! I think so too."
"Ah!"
Yuan Yourong, Chen Guiyan and Murong Lei glanced at Song Dongxi and couldn't help but snorted coldly. Although they knew this was Xin Zhuo's poor divorce plan, it would be very unpleasant for you to cooperate.
"Very well, come on, let's go to your side. It's your turn to come over."
Xin Zhuo waved his hand and led his men into the night.
Chen Guiyan and others looked at each other, and Murong Lei said: "I don't know what their plan is. Each family will leave two good soldiers, and each family will leave two secret sentries along the way. Let's chase them!"
…
The mountain wind was howling, and in the dark jungle, a bobcat's eyes were shining with green light. It rushed forward and bit hard on the neck of a bamboo rat that was looking for food at night. It was just about to find a private place to enjoy, as if it was aware of When something happened, he threw away the food, screamed, and ran away.
Mr. Murong Zhe walked out of the darkness, his long gray hair swaying in the wind. He walked very slowly, with every step rhythmic. The famous sword named "Fauchelewind" beside his waist swayed gently, and the golden sword tassel also Follow the sway from side to side.
Approaching the mountain peak where Xin Zhuo and others were, his eyes were cold. He had not taken action for ten years, but he had enough reasons to kill Xin Zhuo.
Murong Xiu was the son of his late eldest son and his most beloved grandson. He had trained him for twenty years, but he never thought that his life would be ruined if he suddenly turned to Xin Zhuo as a bandit.
Su Miaojin was the adopted daughter of the magistrate. It was rumored that that person's daughter, the prospective daughter-in-law of that terrifying and suffocating family, had been humiliated by Xin Zhuo for several days.
No matter how you look at it, Xin Zhuo must die.
He saw figures moving on the hillside.
"Cang Lang——"
Fauchelewind's snow-white sword blade protruded from his mouth.
Then he saw someone, an unexpected person, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
