After cutting off the heads of several thieves and placing them in front of Yan Wenzhao's grave, Chang Yu pulled three hay plants and planted them in the soil. He glanced at the cliff in the distance and then looked back in the direction of Heyang City: "Brother Yan, you It's not lonely to be your neighbor here with Xiao Liuzi. Wait a little longer to see how I defeat Heyang City, and then come back and have a big drink with you."
"Shopkeeper, please carve a monument for Yan Wenzhao." Wu Mushan took the wooden stick, Chang Yu took it and threw it far away, and kicked the heads of the thieves down the mountain. Everyone was surprised: "At this time, immediately Does the monument allow thieves to whip corpses?"
Everyone suddenly realized that they quickly leveled Yan Wenzhao's grave and covered it with snow. Then Wu Mushan drew a grimace on a rock nearby. Chang Yu frowned: "What is this?"
"Make a mark and come back here to build a new tomb for him after we regain Heyang City." Wu Mushan sighed: "I hope I will still be alive at that time."
"What's going on, you're going to have a high fever and die." Chang Yu snorted coldly, and Wu Mushan shivered, knowing that this master was angry and did not dare to say a word even after being scolded.
"Shopkeeper, let's leave quickly. The thieves' whereabouts have been exposed and help will come soon." Others did not dare to speak at this time, except Qing Yi.
This is the key defense area for the bandits, and one of them escaped just now. No need to think too much, reinforcements will soon come to hunt down a few of them. Chang Yu felt angry because of Yan Wenzhao's death, but he still didn't lose his mind and looked around. He led everyone down the mountain in a hurry, and then ran west along the foot of the mountain. It was difficult to walk up the mountain, and there were many dangers down there, so he had to walk in the gray area at the foot of the mountain. I fled into the mountains, but what was depressing was that there was snow all over the place, leaving traces of people passing by, and it was too easy to be followed.
Chang Yu and Qing Yi ran as fast as they could in front, and Wu Mushan and Wang Fuchen followed closely with two branches tied behind them. This was the only way Chang Yu could think of. Although he knew he couldn't hide it from the other party, he wanted some psychological comfort, which was better than nothing. That's all, what if I just kept it secret.
Everyone ran for more than ten places in one breath, and they were all exhausted. When they saw a village in the distance, they did not avoid it. They ran directly into the village to ask for water. By the way, they asked the villagers where they were.
"Dongxia Temple" the villager replied.
"Is there another Xixia Temple?" Kuang Ren asked casually. The villager nodded and pointed to the west: "Two miles away, down the slope is the Xixia Temple."
"Is there a temple nearby?" Wang Fuchen asked, and the villagers shook their heads: "Our ancestors called us this, but there is really no temple nearby." He pointed to the Zhengbei Mountain: "There is a Thousand Buddha Cave on that mountain..." The villagers were embarrassed. Quandan said: "The Thousand Buddha Cave is a little further west. Well, that hilltop is Liangshan, not the Liangshan of Liangshan heroes. The one further to the west is Mount Wu, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty..." Everyone listened with interest, Chang Yu looked at the villager with interest: "Uncle, you are not afraid or curious about us at all."
"There is nothing to be afraid of. Your people will go there every few days. As long as they don't harm us people..." the villagers said casually, and everyone looked at each other. At this moment, they heard someone's voice coming from outside the yard: "Listen Did you say someone entered the village?"
Then he saw three or four big men rushing in. Chang Yu hurried forward and said, "We are the black-bearded people from Yangjiazhuang. We followed a few officers, soldiers and spies here. Have you seen this brand before..." As he said, Reaching into his arms, the man in front of him frowned: "Master Yang's black beard..." Without saying anything, Chang Yu took out a short knife and pierced his throat. At the same time, he drew the knife with his left hand and cut off the other thief next to him. With half a face, Chen Suole and others over there had already started to cut down the other two people.
In the blink of an eye, without giving the other party any time to react, four corpses were lying at the door of the yard, and the villagers who had been chatting just now collapsed to the ground.
"Let's go!" Chang Yu didn't even look at the corpses, and led everyone directly out of the village and continued to run west.
"We, the shopkeeper, were exposed in Yangjiazhuang. Even if they can't touch us for a while, they are exposed in Dongsi Village. I'm afraid they will chase us soon, and maybe they will immediately notify the front line. The soldiers are going to intercept us." Kuang Ren looked worried. Chang Yu chuckled: "Be confident and get rid of the bad guys. Soon we will have wolves in front of us and tigers in the back. Do you think we can still kill Gouzi's village? Seventeen of us have been killed. Now that the thieves know that someone has infiltrated, they will mobilize all their strength to hunt us down."
"So what, we have already killed enough." Everyone looked solemn, but Wu Mushan looked indifferent. Qing Yi also smiled: "The shopkeeper, are there any of the five people we killed in Yangjiazhuang who were pursued at that time?" Yan Wenzhao’s thief?”
"Maybe. Yan Wenzhao also passed by Yangjiazhuang when he fled into the mountains from Heyang City. Even the secret cave where he was hiding was not far from Yangjiazhuang. Even if the main force of the pursuit was not the people from Yangjiazhuang, he was inextricably related to them. Chang Yu thought for a moment and said.
"Then we have avenged Yan Wenzhao." Qing Yi clenched his fist vigorously, Chang Yu sighed: "I still remember this matter, Qing Yi, let me give you a word, take life or death lightly, do it if you don't accept it, don't Too emotional."
"I know I'll do it if I don't accept it, and I can take my own life and death lightly, but...even though the shopkeeper said so, as for myself, isn't it because Yan Wenzhao is dead that I have been feeling angry in my heart today?" Qing Yi's tears flashed, but Chang Yu couldn't bear to see her cry: "I had known that when Su Jing came, he would kill without batting an eye and never cry."
Qing Yi cried even harder.
"Let's not go to the foot of the mountain, let's go down." After walking for several miles, it was almost evening in a sheltered mountain col. Chang Yu made an unexpected decision. The thieves expected that they were trapped in a tight siege and could only crawl into the mountain, so they did the opposite. Walk along the road, away from the mountains and forests towards the big town, and you can hide your traces. After all, there are many people on the road to the big town, and even though the snow leaves traces, you know who belongs to whom.
Qingyi dressed as a Taoist nun and went to a nearby village to ask for directions. She said that there was a big town five or six miles further west, called Huangfuzhuang, which was the largest village with a radius of more than ten miles. So Chang Yu and his party broke up into small groups and went to the big town, with the purpose of disrupting the judgment of the pursuing enemy. If the nine of them walked together, it would be too conspicuous, and they would know their whereabouts if they inquired, but if they walked separately, they would not be so conspicuous.
When night fell, Chang Yu and Qing Yi ordered food from an inn on the street in the town. There were indeed dozens of households in this town. It was located between two large mountains, with mountains to the north, Heyang to the southeast, and Heyang to the southwest. Chengcheng.
"Huangfuzhuang, this name is quite quaint." Qing Yi muttered in a low voice. Chang Yu was knocking broad beans and looking at the customers in the store with vague eyes. There were almost no people, but there was a drunkard talking to himself in the corner. Yu muttered something: "Be careful with that person."
"A spy?" Qing Yi asked in a low voice. Chang Yu shook his head slightly: "This store owner may be an spy, and the drunkard is most likely a spy. He has already looked at us four or five times pretending to be casual."
"Did we reveal some flaws?" Qing Yi secretly touched the hilt of the sword.
"You are the weak point." Chang Yu chuckled: "The people who come to the inn at this time are all outsiders, who are the key targets of the spies. Perhaps the thieves have informed our whereabouts and appearance to the surrounding horses. One of the nine people is a woman. It just so happens that this time When you appeared here both as a woman and as an outsider, he must have been suspicious."
"Kill him?" A cold light flashed in Qing Yi's eyes, Chang Yu was very satisfied, and gradually began to look plain.
"Killing him will easily alert the enemy, and will expose our whereabouts." Chang Yu shook his head, "What should we do?" Qing Yi asked.
"Let me think about it..." Suddenly Chang Yu looked startled. He vaguely heard the drunkard say a familiar name: "Yu Wenbao". But he wasn't sure.
"What's wrong with the shopkeeper?" Qing Yi asked softly when he saw Chang Yu's expression was different.
"Did you hear it?" Chang Yu asked him, Qing Yi shook his head: "What did you hear?"
"Nothing." Chang Yu breathed and turned to ask the innkeeper: "Sir, I'm staying here tonight. Can I borrow some books to pass the time?"
"What kind of book do you want to read? Isn't this an academy? We at least have a few books on villains." The shopkeeper on the counter said with a smile. Chang Yu glanced sideways at the drunkard and said casually: "Do you have the Four Records of Sword Blowing?"
The shopkeeper shook his head: "I've never heard of it. Could it be some chivalrous record?"
"Forget it if you don't have it." Chang Yu smiled. When he saw the drunkard shaking, he whispered to Qing Yi: "Our people."
