Half a day ago.
A team of twenty-seven people led by Gu Xinhun followed the traces left by Ye Xian and found Master Qingku and other Shaolin monks.
After everyone gathered together, they planned to escort the Shaolin monks to places outside Putian County for resettlement.
When they were about to set off, they were shocked to find that their path was cut off by a large group of people.
Faced with the formation of no less than 300 people who came to attack them without hesitation, Gu Xinhun, who was already apprehensive about the trip up the mountain, became more determined that he must evacuate Putian County as soon as possible.
So, he persuaded everyone to go upstream, and not surprisingly, they encountered strong resistance.
At first, their makeshift team had the upper hand, and they almost broke through the defense line and escaped.
However, the Shaolin monks' hiding place is deep in the hinterland of Putian County. The road is long and the opponents have enough time and opportunity to stop them.
The three Taiwan Liangyi Soul-Splitting Bulls were the first problem this team of nearly fifty people encountered.
Faced with three iron lumps, many people try their best but are still as helpless as mosquitoes flying around a bison.
The three bison did not regard the harassment of mosquitoes as a threat at all. Even if they flicked their tails and crackled, everyone had to flee at high speed, otherwise they would just die like damn mosquitoes without a sound.
If that's all, that's it. No matter how difficult it is to deal with the Big Iron Bull, it is small in number and has limited mobility. It is not difficult to get rid of the entanglement with the strength of everyone.
But with the appearance of five groups of hundreds of red-clad and black-armored guards, the possibility of leaving the county was slim.
For thousands of years in Zhongzhou, private possession of armor has been a serious crime, ranging from confiscation of homes to genocide.
Making armor privately can even be punished as a crime of treason!
But the Red Sect took out 500 sets of armor that were not in the Zhongzhou military standard!
This move by the Red Sect is equivalent to jumping from a martial arts force to a martial arts force equipped with an army.
Even if the Red Sect is not under the control of the Japanese, this is still a real rebellion!
Of course, such a situation that should not exist but is so close to our eyes is only allowed to occur in Putian County at the moment.
This is a tacit understanding won by the Red Sect from the Zhongzhou court.
Five hundred soldiers in red and black armor may not be able to strictly enforce orders and prohibitions, but they may not be easier to deal with than an army that enforces orders and prohibitions.
If the three secret caves in Pinghai County are the solid accumulation of the Red Clothes Sect’s painstaking efforts in the past twenty years, then these five hundred red-clothed and black armored men can be said to have been polished by the Red Clothes Sect in the past twenty years to sweep across the Zhongzhou martial arts world. of spear.
When Tu Wanfang, the murderous monster that also took nearly twenty years to breed, accidentally turned into an incompletely controlled bloodthirsty blade, this spear is undoubtedly the most solid and lethal trump card of the Red Sect. !
Yes, even though there are only 500 people, these red-clad and black soldiers are the most difficult gap to cross for all those who try to leave Putian County!
No matter how strong Gu Xinhun's side is, it is not difficult for one person to kill ten armored and helmeted soldiers, but it is not easy to kill ten fully armed Jianghu people.
What's more, they are well-trained and well-armed Jianghu people.
Gu Xinhun and others only had a brief taste, but they inevitably paid a lot of casualties.
If Gu Xinhun and Qing Ku Master were not strong enough, at least half of them would have been mercilessly crushed by the black armored warriors and the big iron bull.
Continuing to move forward stubbornly means immediate death, and there is still room for detours when retreating.
Faced with such a conspiracy, everyone had to temporarily give up the thought of rushing out, avoiding the enemy's sharp edge while thinking about changes.
Fortunately, except for the three big iron bulls who would never leave, the five hundred red-clad and black armored men were ordered not to allow anyone to leave the county, and they had no intention of chasing them down and killing them all, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
It's just that this retreat is endless, which makes people complain endlessly.
Soon after they got rid of the members of the Red Sect, the Japanese men in black, and the allies of the Red Sect similar to the Three Iron Bulls, their traces were discovered again, and they were chased and killed from the edge of Putian County to the hinterland. Do not continue to retreat towards Jiulian Mountain.
There seemed to be a pair of eyes watching their every move, unwilling to let them have a chance to breathe.
The other party's intention is obvious, it is to force them back to the vicinity of Jiulian Mountain!
In the entire Putian County, there are dozens of large teams of more than 20 people who are in a similar predicament as Hongchen Inn and others.
San Renju and the Shaolin monks who finally managed to escape from the gate of the Southern Shaolin Temple were met with a more powerful fire arrow attack and pursuit on the thousand stone steps than when Meng Chaoge and the five men went up the mountain. I am afraid that less than ten people led by Yu Le, who went up the mountain and hit the south wall, can make it down alive.
Choosing to seize the road from the back mountain and go down the mountain, the team composed of Wudang, Emei, Zui Hongyan and half of the Eighteenth Bronze Men of Southern Shaolin were the closest to fighting out of Putian County, but in the last ten miles they were rushed by five groups of hundreds of red-clad black men. The soldiers were forced to retreat for thirty miles, and they did not lose many men because those soldiers in red and black were also attacking for a long distance and were unable to catch up.
In addition to these powerful teams, there are already more than thirty teams that either entered Putian today or have been hiding in the area near Jiulian Mountain for many days, and were killed by this wave of killings that started from day to dusk and did not stop. Swallowed, the death toll was no less than five hundred.
It is not difficult for those who are involved to find that in order to solve the current predicament, they must find other trapped people and concentrate their efforts to break through the blockade in one fell swoop.
However, since the planner hiding behind the scenes is forcing them down this road, does it mean that the other party has prepared an even more desperate trap waiting for them?
Jiulian Mountain is like an altar, and the purpose of the Red Sect and its allies must be to bring all forces entering Putian County to the altar to perform blood sacrifices!
…
…
"Someone intervened in, ahem... this game."
At the ANBU contact point in the northwest outside Putian County, Ji Zhe, who was the last to be awakened from his sweet sleep, yawned, closed his eyes and lightly beat his forehead while doing analysis.
Like Jiang Yichen, Meng Chaoge didn't sleep well. He held up his chin with one hand to support himself, and pulled his hair with the other hand to refresh himself. He said, "Who is so capable of saving the bad chess played by the red-clothed sect?"
Ji Zhe said: "Of course I have been waiting for this game to start for a long time, and I have been ready to intervene at any time."
Shi Zhonghuo stroked his newly shortened chin and beard, and reviewed the situation in the county that the ANBU personnel had previously reported to them, and said, "Didn't the news come out that there are no fewer than ten Liangyi Soul-Splitting Cows hidden in the county?"
Jiang Yichen nodded and added: "Yinshamen's Liangyi Soul-Splitting Ox."
Recalling the twists and turns of strange news that happened all over Zhongzhou when Jiang Yichen slipped into Tingyuge the first night, Ji Zhe continued to tap his forehead and said in distress: "I really can't imagine how Xiao Yin was so harmonious before he and Chu Hanxiong separated. Angrily, he tricked Tongshamen and Ironshamen into doing hard work for Yinshamen, and then secretly mass-produced the big iron ox in Fujian."
Jiang Yichen compared the Liangyi Soul-Splitting Cow described by the ANBU personnel with what he saw in the Yinsha Underworld back then, and said: "The Two-Yit Soul-Splitting Cow sounds less functional than the previous one, but it is simpler and easier to use." It can be controlled even if it is hidden in a narrow place, and it can be placed on a spacious ground to do whatever it wants. If there is no good use of poison to poison the controller inside through the gaps or holes, it can be said that no one can stop it. "
Meng Chaoge frowned and said with a grimace, "That's why your uncle, Lao Liu, warned you not to provoke this person."
Ji Zhe said with a bitter smile: "The problem now is that no one wants to provoke this guy, but this guy can't stand the rubbish performance of the Red Religion and can't wait to jump into the game and personally make the situation develop in the direction he wants to see." .”
Meng Chaoge rubbed his face, shook his head, and sat upright and said: "The question now is whether the result Xiao Yincai wants is consistent with us."
When Ji Zhe saw this, he straightened his back, straightened his clothes, and said seriously: "If this situation continues, the biggest beneficiary will be the Red Sect. In other words, Xiao Yincai is helping the Japanese to choose the land of Zhongzhou. Start a war.”
Meng Chaoge said: "So we have to fight back again."
Ji Zhe said: "You have to go back, you have to save people, you have to kill people."
Meng Chaoge asked the man in brown clothes standing beside him: "Is the court letting people into Putian County?"
The man in brown clothes is the person in charge of the ANBU contact point here. He replied concisely and concisely: "Yes."
Meng Chaoge asked again: "How many people are still willing to go in now?"
The man in brown clothes said: "It's really not many. In the past two hours, there were only three teams and less than fifty people went in."
"Are they from the imperial court?"
"Definitely not."
"How many Jianghu people can be recruited nearby?"
"I'm afraid not."
Meng Chaoge sighed and said, "Then there are still only the five of us."
The man in brown clothes cupped his hands and said, "We will be at the mercy of the Pavilion Master."
Meng Chaoge waved his hand and said: "It's too dangerous inside. It will be safer if you act alone. Only if you can ensure your own safety can we see and hear far."
The man in brown clothes bowed his head slightly in greeting.
Dongqing, who had been silent all this time, poured the last sip of wine from the bowl into her mouth, silently stood up and opened the door.
Meng Chaoge, Shi Zhonghuo, and Jiang Yichen then stood up, took their prepared bags and weapons and walked out the door.
Ji Zhe, who was the last to leave, stretched out and felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit inexplicably tragic and heavy. He said with a smile: "Master, we are two in and two out of Jiulian Mountain. If we never come back, how will you do? "
Meng Chaoge rolled her eyes at Ji Zhe and was too lazy to reply.
Ji Zhe asked in a different way: "Or what regrets will you have?"
Meng Chaoge glared and said, "I will regret not blocking your crow's mouth in advance!"
