Climbing mountains and ridges all the way, following the traces of broken branches and vines, we found the plain official road where the two wild tigers launched the attack last night. It was already bright.
The wilderness is cold and windy in winter, and the green mist is like yarn and smoke.
Chang Siguo glanced at the dead horses near the official road and counted them silently. There were eight in total.
Puddles of blood solidified into ice crystals, bright red.
In the frost-stained grass and on the tree trunks on the road, there are arrows and countless traces of battles.
Chang Siguo, who was silently checking, suddenly knelt down and picked up a piece of medicinal material from the mud. It looked like ginseng. He put it to his nose and sniffed it, tasted it again, frowned in confusion, and then picked it up from the grass. , in the mud, behind a tree, I picked up a few dried medicinal herbs.
After careful analysis for a while, he put the medicinal materials into his pocket, and Chang Siguo continued to observe.
Soon I found fresh rutted hoof prints, heading south along the official road.
There was a hint of excitement on his face. The goods were not lost, which was definitely good news for him.
Chang Siguo stopped wasting time here and took big steps towards the south.
It takes more than ten miles of flat road and only takes more than a quarter of an hour to arrive.
Xiongbei City is the gateway to Mingzhou Prefecture. The city is larger than Sihuang City. It is built on a protruding hill. It is very steep. There is an outer city built on flat ground around it, and there is a moat outside.
Heavy protection, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Chang Siguo showed the bronze waist badge of the Body Refiner at the gate of the north city and entered the city smoothly. He saw the Body Refiner guarding the door and inquired about the news. He learned that Wu Jun and his party, with the special mission order arrow, arrived at 2:00 a.m. last night. I shouted at the city gate and stayed at the "Dian Ke Shu" government-run inn near the north gate.
The border troops from the north came and went once every few days, and there are records at the city gate.
After thanking him, Chang Siguo went to the guest house and met a motorcade that was packing up to set off in the side yard of the inn.
When Xiong Molin saw that the big black guy came back safe and sound, he was furious. He pointed his halberd and yelled, "You cowardless rat, you have the nerve to run away at the critical moment and abandon your companions. What crime do you deserve?"
How could he give up the opportunity to trample on Chang Siguo?
The five soldiers holding the horses all had scratches or falls on their bodies, and they looked at Chang Siguo with complicated eyes.
Wu Jun's broken left hand was tied with white cloth. He was calmer than Xiong Merin.
After taking a few glances, I found that the cuffs of Chang Siguo's black robe had many pores, and the hem was incomplete and dusty. He grabbed a huge bundle in his right hand, and held a bronze carved bow in his left hand. In the bow pouch was a black bow with a broken string. The wooden bow and the black wooden bow are Chang Siguo's main weapons. Two different long knives hang on the left side of his waist.
His expression changed, and he waved his hand to stop Xiong Molin from scolding him again.
Chang Siguo's roar last night was obviously to help them lure away the murderous giant and rescue them from the siege.
He didn't believe that Chang Siguo would escape in the face of the battle. Otherwise, there would be no need to make any noise, so why not just leave quietly?
Pointing to the bronze bow, he asked, "Brother Chang, this bow of yours looks like the one made by that woman."
The light was dim last night, and he was some distance away from the woman. In the light of the arrows, Wu Jun vaguely saw that the woman was using a large bronze bow, and the style seemed to be similar, so he asked this question, and he had some unrealistic expectations in his heart. Hope.
They suffered a series of misfortunes at the hands of the man and woman yesterday. They felt depressed and hated the two barbarian tigers to the core.
Chang Siguo glanced at Xiong Molin with an angry face and sneered at this unscrupulous guy, never expecting him to help him next time.
He didn't believe that Xiong Molin couldn't see that he was the one who led the giant man away. This man had a villain's heart. By belittling him, he wanted to save the face he had lost at the hands of the bandits. Fortunately, he had gained a lot, otherwise it would be hard to explain. Nod.
"Her weapons were seized. It's a pity that the woman was allowed to escape."
He threw the bundle held in his right hand to the ground, making a sound of metal colliding, and continued, "The barbarian tiger has been decapitated. I was exhausted last night and could not catch up with the convoy overnight. Please forgive me, Captain Wu."
He held his bow and saluted. The captain was a bit tactful and snobbish, but he was still reasonable.
"ah"
Wu Jun was dumbfounded. He deeply understood how powerful that giant man was.
He and Xiong Molin joined forces and were defeated by the giant man in just a few moves. He lost half of his palm.
Now, Chang Siguo told him that the giant man who killed them last night and was almost unable to fight back was taken away. It was too unbelievable. If Chang Siguo hadn't held the bronze longbow in his hand, he wouldn't have done anything. believe.
Xiong Molin jumped up and shouted, "Chang Siguo, you don't have to talk nonsense. You can easily pack up the barbarian tiger's weapon. Don't tell me about such a long ax. Just break it and wrap it up in this bundle." He laughed loudly from behind.
Chang Siguo felt no fluctuation in his heart and wrote lightly, "Yes, it's just tied inside."
It's boring to argue with this person, and it lowers his own level. Otherwise, he will use his words to set up a ready-made trap for this guy to get into. It's not interesting to think about it, so let's forget it.
Xiong Molin looked at the big black man as if he were looking at a madman who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.
This bundle is only five feet, which is nearly half less than one foot. I want to make him happy.
Xiong Molin smiled strangely, "Okay, let me see how you hide the ax inside."
He reached out and grabbed a tightly wrapped bundle on the ground, and tore it apart with both hands, causing the dead vines and bamboo to snap.
A sword and a short-handled giant ax fell out and hit the ground with a clang.
Xiong Merin was dumbfounded. This ax was familiar to him. He had been in such close contact with it and almost cut him in half. The ax blade was as wide as the basin, the two sharp ends were flying, and the cold light on the ax surface was really a weapon of a savage tiger. It was just that The long, thick arm handle is missing.
Wu Jun chuckled and said, "Have you collected the belt card? Can you let me see him? He is such a powerful guy. I still have lingering fears when I think about it." If you don't see the belt card with your own eyes, you still can't be sure.
Chang Siguo took out the silver waistband from his arms, handed it to Wu Jun, and explained briefly, "I poisoned him with a trick."
Wu Jun suddenly realized that it was easier to accept it. No wonder there were shallow corrosion marks on the surface of the axe.
He reached out to take the belt tag and looked at it carefully to confirm.
I was thankful again that thanks to this mission, Shan Liwen sent Chang Siguo.
If we send someone like Xiong Merlin again, not only will the mission fail to be completed, but our lives will be lost twice.
Xiong Molin glanced at the word "Barbarian Tiger" on his waistband and fell silent, feeling very jealous of the black boy's bad luck.
Of course, he also knew that it would not be easy to lure the wild tiger into being deceived and poisoned.
The strings of the black bow were all broken. Perhaps he had a narrow escape from death and was extremely dangerous to achieve such a feat.
He couldn't figure out how the black boy could get the bronze bow from that fierce woman.
But it was difficult to inquire, seeing that the black boy looked at him with ridicule and contempt.
He didn't want to bring trouble to himself, so he pretended to tidy up his mount, not wanting to see the black boy show off in front of him.
Wu Jun returned the badge to Chang Siguo with emotion on his face.
This trip he followed Zhan Guang. Although it was Chang Siguo's achievement, during the mission of protecting the goods, all the military exploits, especially the great achievement of killing the Beirong patrol envoy, would be counted to him, because he was the mission of this trip. Captain.
"Thank you, Brother Chang, for helping me avenge the Broken Palm. When the task is completed, I will treat you to a big banquet."
"Captain Wu is polite, but Chang will be disrespectful."
"Haha, Brother Chang is so righteous that he alone diverted a powerful enemy at a critical moment and put himself in danger. I will report all these deeds when the time comes and ask for credit for you."
Wu Jun swept away the dejection on his face, looked bright and energetic, and signaled to the soldiers who were looking at him with apologetic expressions and bright eyes.
Five soldiers quickly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and then carried the two heavy weapons to the carriage.
Chang Siguo thanked him politely, put down his backpack, opened his ragged coat, and said to the little guy who had been silent and looking curiously, "Wu Mo, come out. This is Xiongbei City. We will ride on the war horse later."
Wu Jun noticed that there was someone in the basket that Chang Siguo was carrying, and his breath was too obvious, so he asked curiously, "Who is this?"
Everyone looked at the little guy who stepped out of his backpack and was wearing an old coat that didn't fit even up to his calves. He was dirty and smelly. Who was this guy? He couldn't tell his face like a tabby cat.
Chang Siguo glanced at the little dirty boy with big eyes and said, "Last night I accidentally broke into the bandit's den that was robbing us, so I used a trick to lure the wild tiger into the mountain and fight with the bandit. If there is any damage, I will take advantage of it, hehe."
There is no need to explain in detail, everyone can figure out the wonderful story behind it.
Xiong Molin turned his back and secretly spat at the black boy's shit luck again. In the deep mountains and old forests, he was still fooling around in the dark, and this could happen to him.
Bandits must fight tooth and nail against wild tigers for their lair. No wonder they can poison that stupid, brainless tiger.
Chang Siguo continued, "I rescued this child from the bandits' den. I took him down the mountain to take him to Sihuang City." Without further explanation, he took out a folded note from his arms and handed it to Wu Jun. , whispered, "This was found from the bandit leader."
Wu Jun took the note, read it once, and put it into his arms. Anger flashed deep in his eyes. He clenched his right fist to suppress his emotions and said, "Okay, I understand." He added in a low voice, "Thank you."
It turns out that there were cultivators in the bandit army who colluded with the bandits and leaked the news about their delivery.
Although there is no signature at the end of the note, he can hand it over to General Mo. With this physical evidence, General Mo can always find some clues by handwriting comparison with the Military Justice Department and a carrier pigeon search during that period.
The thieves who are colluding with each other inside and outside must be found.
He couldn't swallow this bad breath, the hatred for cutting off his palm, the hatred for ruining his mission, and he could not avenge it,,,
