The tone of the two people talking was very different from the locals, but Ye Ying felt a little familiar, and he suddenly realized. This voice is very similar to the tone of the bandits who appeared yesterday, "Northern Barbarians", Ye Ying immediately reacted.
Didn’t it mean that all the bandits were wiped out? Surprised, Ye Ying immediately thought that these people who were talking should be the ones who slipped through the net among the bandits.
He didn't know how many remaining bandits there were, and he didn't know if there were any masters among them, so Ye Ying didn't dare to act rashly. Because if caught by these bandits, they are likely to kill and silence them.
Thinking of this, Ye Ying leaned against the cliff without moving, and even his breathing became softer.
After about another stick of incense, the conversation above slowly ended, followed by the sound of footsteps, which became increasingly distant.
The stick of incense passed slowly. During this time, Ye Ying also got confirmation from their conversation. These people talking on the cliff are indeed the ones who slipped through the trap among the bandits. The officers and soldiers killed most of their companions, and even the cottage where they lived was burned down. They had no choice but to hide in the remote mountains to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers and save their lives.
After clarifying the identities of these people, I also firmed up my decision to hide here and wait for the bandits to go away. Then find their hiding place based on the traces they left,
For safety reasons, Ye Ying waited for a while before the sound from above completely disappeared, and then slowly climbed up the cliff.
Standing on the cliff again, Ye Ying turned around and looked around, and saw that there were indeed no people around. The cliff was close to the branches in the direction of the woods, and there were obvious signs that someone had passed through it. He hurriedly walked in that direction.
According to Ye Ying's idea, he followed quietly, and after finding out where the bandits were hiding, he went to the military camp to tell Chen Zhi and the others.
Ye Ying had just walked into the woods when he suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of him. A figure suddenly emerged from behind a big tree in front, standing in front of Ye Ying with a smile.
Ye Ying was shocked. After seeing this man's appearance clearly, his heart went cold because the man who appeared in front of him was none other than a small leader among the bandits that day.
He had seen scenes of these bandit leaders fighting against Ningyuan General Chen Zhi, the Second Master and others. Although their skills were not as good as those of their masters, they were clearly superior to him.
In the flash of lightning, Ye Ying quickly made a decision, since he couldn't beat him, he would run away. So he turned around quickly, preparing to escape outside the forest first, and then rely on his familiarity with the terrain to escape.
"If you want to escape, do you have to see if the big knife in Grandpa's hand agrees?" At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in front of Ye Ying, shocking him to stop immediately.
Seeing the owner of the voice clearly, Ye Ying secretly screamed, because the person who appeared in front of him was another one of the bandit leaders that day.
The current situation was very unfavorable to Ye Ying, but it was not his character to surrender without mercy. He took out the medicine sickle from his backpack and rushed towards the enemy in front of him, preparing to carve a way out.
The bandit leader in front of him obviously didn't expect that such a young mountain boy could have such good martial arts. He didn't react until Ye Ying's sickle struck him.
Ye Ying's sickle was already close at hand, and the bandit leader only had time to turn sideways and avoid the attack on his head and neck. But his shoulder was cut with a sickle, taking away a piece of flesh and blood.
He was injured after a confrontation. The other person was a child who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. The bandit leader couldn't keep it off his face and ignored his own injuries. There was a ferocious light in his eyes, staring at Ye Ying fiercely.
Ye Ying was also very disappointed. He originally wanted to use this move to injure the enemy so as to leave a way for him to escape, but now he only suffered a small injury.
"Haha, Shu Jia, how far has your kung fu training gone? Even a child like this can hurt you." At this time, the bandit leader behind Ye Ying also caught up and said loudly from behind.
"Hmph, this little guy actually has pretty good kung fu. It can be seen that he was taught by a famous master." The bandit leader named Shujia said angrily, then he swung the big knife in his hand and slashed it down on the top of Ye Ying's head. .
The sword was still some distance away from Ye Ying, and he could hear the whistling wind. Ye Ying knew that in the rage of the bandit leader, this move must be very serious, and he could not block it.
Thinking of this, he quickly used his fastest movement technique and quickly retreated back. In the midst of the lightning and flint, the sword had already struck Ye Ying's cheek, flying past less than half an inch away from Ye Ying's cheek.
The opponent's kung fu was much higher than Ye Ying's, and just one attack made him break out in a cold sweat.
After finally dodging the opponent's knife, Ye Ying was about to find a way to escape when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a big knife was pressed against his neck.
Needless to say, the owner of this broadsword must be the bandit leader behind him. Of course, his neck couldn't block the sharp knife. In desperation, Ye Ying had no choice but to stay put and let the other party deal with him.
"Hmph, you kid dared to hurt your grandpa Shujia. I will send you to see the King of Hell now." Seeing that Ye Ying was under control, the bandit leader named Shujia rushed over and raised his hands. The broadsword was thrown towards Ye Ying's head and neck.
At this time, Ye Ying had no other choice but to close his eyes unwillingly and wait for the fate of being hit by a big knife.
"Wait a minute, this little guy can't be killed yet!" At this moment, the bandit leader behind Ye Ying said clearly.
"Jiagu, what do you mean? This little bastard can't survive. If he reveals where we are hiding, our lives will not be saved." Shujia put away the big knife in his hand, with obvious reluctance in his tone.
"Don't you think it's a little strange that this kid from a mountain village has such great kung fu? Also, think about where we have seen him?" The bandit leader named Jia Gu said slowly.
"Oh, I remembered. When we were fighting with the officers and soldiers of Daning that day, this little bastard was with a few generals. That means he has something to do with these officers and soldiers, let alone his life." Shu. A thought for a long time and finally remembered.
"I said you guys can never change your impulsiveness. If you keep this kid alive, maybe he will become our talisman." Jiagu said again.
"Then it's up to you! Ask him to take him back and let the boss decide." Shujia calmed down, thought clearly about the meaning of Jiagu's words, and put away the sword in his hand.
After reaching a consensus, the two led Ye Ying through the mountains and forests. After walking for about two sticks of incense, they stopped in front of a relatively hidden cave. It seemed that this cave was the hiding place of these bandits.
Ye Ying has been to this cave before. It is relatively dry inside, the space is relatively open, and it can be ventilated. It is indeed a good place to hide.
Jia Gu and Shu Jia took Ye Ying into the cave. They saw that the usually dark cave was actually lit with torches. There were more than a dozen bandits sitting or standing in the cave. Seeing someone coming in, they all turned their heads and looked at Ye Ying who was being escorted in.
On a platform in the innermost part of the cave, there was a thick layer of hay, and a man was lying on the hay. Because he was lying with his back facing away, Ye Ying couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but judging from his clothing, he looked exactly like the bandit leader Hu Tianxiong he saw last time.
"General...Boss, we are back!" The man named Jia Gu shouted respectfully.
Hearing Jia Gu's voice, the man lying on the platform turned over, without looking at the people who came in, and said softly: "How is the contact with the person you asked to contact?"
"Boss, we have tried our best, but all we saw were the bodies of our dead brothers, not a single living person, and we did not receive any response to the secret messages we left behind."
This time it was the man named Shu Jia who spoke. His voice was very respectful, even with a hint of fear. It seems that the person called the boss should be very ruthless in his methods, making his subordinates full of fear.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Ye Ying could see clearly that the man lying on the platform was none other than Hu Tianxiong, the bandit leader of Tianxiong Village that day.
"There are so many brothers who are very familiar with this mountainous area. Could it be that none of them escaped?" Hu Tianxiong's voice was not loud, but his dissatisfaction could clearly be heard in his tone.
"Boss, it's our fault, but we have captured someone who may be of some interest to you." Jia Gu said respectfully, while pushing Ye Ying forward who was standing aside.
Hu Tianxiong then moved his gaze to the entrance of the cave and looked at Ye Ying with a puzzled look in his eyes. He had not seen Ye Ying in the county government that day. During the battle, his attention was focused on Chen Zhi and other good players, and he had no time to pay attention to a child.
"Why did you bring such a boy from a mountain village? Just deal with him directly." Hu Tianxiong said with some dissatisfaction.
"What the boss doesn't know is that this kid is the kid who walked out of the county government cell that day and passed on the news. Also, this kid also has good kung fu. Now that I think about it, Zhu You, who pretended to be the county government's arrester, He was probably killed by him. He was also standing at the center of the battle that day, and he was obviously a more important figure." Seeing that the boss was a little dissatisfied, Jiagu quickly said with some fear.
"Are you telling the truth?" Hu Tianxiong became interested and asked with some doubts.
"Boss, what Jia Gu said is true. I also saw with my own eyes that day that this kid stood with a man who looked like a strategist and killed two of our brothers." The man named Shu Jia was afraid that Hu Tianxiong wouldn't believe it, so he quickly said to the side.
"Come here!" Hu Tianxiong was a little convinced when he heard that Shu Jia was doing the same thing. He sat up with the help of a bandit and waved to Ye Ying who was not far away.
Seeing that there were bandits all around, it was very difficult to escape. Ye Ying knew that now was not the time to be a tough guy, so he slowly moved his body and walked in the direction of Hu Tianxiong.
"You're a bit brave, you didn't pee your pants out of fright." Hu Tianxiong looked at Ye Ying standing in front of him and saw that he didn't have the frightened look that ordinary people have when they see them. He also felt sorry for Ye Ying. became interested.
It was the first time that Ye Ying saw Hu Tianxiong at such a close distance. At this time, his face was pale, his movements were very slow, and the breath in his body was very disordered. After studying medicine with Master Six for two years, his current medical skills are quite good. He can judge that Hu Tianxiong was seriously injured at this time, and his life might even be in danger if he was not treated in time.
Hu Tianxiong slowly raised his arm and grabbed Ye Ying's wrist. Ye Ying felt a trace of true energy flowing in his body and knew that Hu Tianxiong was checking his cultivation.
At this moment, Ye Ying suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he took the opportunity to capture the seriously injured Hu Tianxiong and use him as a hostage, he could force the bandits to let him go.
But after second thoughts, Ye Ying gave up this idea. Although Hu Tianxiong was seriously injured, a master like him must have the means to fight back even at the end of his power, otherwise he would not dare to let himself get so close to him.
