Liu Hui joined the Shanhe Gang three years ago. Because of his reputation in the Yunxia Dynasty and his outstanding work ability, he was recognized and promoted after some tests. Now he serves as the leader of this stronghold in Shanhe. The identity of the gang is Zhang Qi.
"Everyone, be quick and set off immediately."
At this moment, Liu Hui directed his men to divide the newcomers recruited from each city into four teams. Everything was in order, and there were no accidents as usual.
From time to time, Liu Hui even had time to use the corner of his eyes to look at the four people not far away who exuded the aura of being kept away from strangers.
These four people were all wearing masks and robes, and their faces could not be seen clearly. This made Liu Hui very curious. The guy who could be brought here by the big man in person might have a lot of background.
Perhaps because he noticed Liu Hui's gaze, or perhaps it was a coincidence, one of the four people walked towards Liu Hui at this time.
"Where is the priest's place?" the man asked.
Liu Hui quickly took out a yellowed parchment roll from his arms and unfolded it to reveal a map.
"The priest method this time is the 'Four Symbols of Rebirth'. There are four altars in total, equally distributed, fifty miles away from each other, not far outside Yuncheng, so we may need to divide into four teams. "Liu Hui introduced seriously.
The man nodded when he heard the words and called the other three people to explain, especially the things that needed to be paid attention to during the escort and where to turn after completing the mission.
…
If the crescent moon in summer gives people a fresh, refined and fairy-like air, then the crescent moon in winter is cold and aloof, hanging high outside, indifferent and ruthless.
The moonlight was cold in the cold wind at first. Five fast horses followed them all the way, but their traces suddenly broke off.
Several people dismounted and looked around each other, feeling a little anxious in their hearts.
The eldest lady Yun Mingxue from Yun Shuai's Mansion grew up in the army. She knew the basics of scouting and was particularly careful in investigation.
"The traces of the convoy have disappeared here. This is not the effect of the natural covering of wind and snow. It must be caused by man-made factors. In addition, the temperature is so low now that there are no ice crystals on the snowflakes in some areas. From the overall direction, the wind and snow should be It's blowing from the north."
"You can use your martial arts energy to blow away the nearby snowflakes. After all, it's not long ago, and you can still distinguish the traces such as the axle left behind."
Everyone acted according to Yun Mingxue's advice, and sure enough, they found the looming trace after the surface snowflakes were blown away. They immediately cycled all the way, and finally came to a small hill during the return trip. Here, the clue was broken again.
This time, Yun Tianfeng released his spiritual sense. His soul perception could penetrate most physical media, and he soon discovered a hidden passage in the hill.
"boom!"
Murong Yu slashed out with his sword, and the rocks blocking the passage shattered. The passage was more than two meters high, and everyone could only lead their horses.
"Who broke into the underground palace without permission?"
Not long after, as the passage gradually became wider, several members of the Shanhe Gang who had stayed behind appeared to block everyone's way.
The young man sprinted with explosive steps, coupled with Qian Juebu's agility, the acupuncture points of the remaining gang members were sealed as soon as they finished speaking.
Yun Mingxue signaled everyone to separate and be on guard, while the young man took the gang members whose acupoints had been sealed and restricted their mobility and walked to the corner for interrogation.
"You can kill or behead him as you please. If you frown, you're not a good man."
The few gangsters who were arrested were tough, but Yun Tianfeng's threats and inducements were to no avail.
Murong Yu couldn't stand listening any more. He came up with a heavy sword and started to attack directly, saying: "Senior Brother, let me come. Let me see if their bones are stronger or the heavy building in my hand is stronger. I will smash their fingers one by one." Heads and toes, let’s see if they say it or not.”
Yun Tianfeng frowned slightly: "Junior sister, have you forgotten what I said before? We don't know anything about the Shanhe Gang. What if we kill innocent people by mistake in such a random attack?"
Murong Yu coldly snorted: "Innocent? Look at how violent and violent their bodies are. What's the difference between their stern and cold expressions and those of bandits? How can they be innocent?"
Wang Quan, who heard the commotion, came over, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Miss, actually what the young master said makes sense. We can't confirm that these guys are bad people now. It may be inappropriate to rashly torture them to extract confessions."
Murong Yu suddenly exploded and stepped in front of Wang Quan. He raised his hand and grabbed Wang Quan's collar who was not avoiding him. He asked with a smile: "What Brother Wang said makes sense. Why don't I ask Brother Wang a few questions?" , Brother Wang can answer it, how about I just listen to senior brother?"
"What do you want to ask, young lady?" Wang Quan felt uneasy in his heart.
Murong Yuxiao asked: "In addition to driving the carriage, the coachman's job is to take care of the carriage, but where is the carriage that I bought for fifty taels of silver in the City of No Return?"
"Due to the rush of leaving, I... landed at the Qingya City Inn." Wang Quan stuttered back.
"Oh, Brother Wang lost the carriage? That's a full fifty taels of silver. Brother Wang, tell me how you plan to repay this debt?"
Wang Quan's scalp was a little numb and he continued to stutter: "Work... wage deduction?"
Murong Yu sneered: "I'm afraid Brother Wang has forgotten that the so-called free food and lodging is actually deducted from Brother Wang's salary, and Brother Wang has to live in a room when staying in an inn, and he needs to drink good wine when drinking, so this salary will be deducted It’s already a negative number, how can I still deduct the money for the carriage and horse?”
"How do you think the lady should repay it?" Wang Quan sighed and lowered his head, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
"Otherwise, how about Brother Wang stop drinking in the next few months, live in an inn or a woodshed, and eat some steamed buns until he pays off?"
Wang Quan immediately raised his head and chest, walked towards the tough-talking Shanhe Gang with a big step, and swung it with a slap in the face, and then pulled out the long knife in his arms with a clang: "Miss, you have a distinguished status, these How could the little bastard dirty the young lady’s hands? Wang will come for the young lady..."
Not long after, the members of the Shanhe Gang, who were covered in blood, confessed with tears: "There was indeed a convoy passing through this abandoned underground palace half an hour ago. You heroes, you can find the exit by walking along the passage. There is a building at the exit. The person you are looking for is probably in the mountain and river gang's fortified city over there."
Yun Tianfeng ignored Wang Quan's wink at him, turned around and left after getting the information he wanted.
As for these gang members, their acupoints were also sealed and they could not move for a few hours. Even the bloody one would not be in danger of life, he would just suffer some physical pain.
Every outstanding swordsman is a professional surgeon. Not to mention the frightening dozens of cuts, even one or two hundred cuts can be minor injuries. There is no way to make mistakes if you are careful.
“I’m afraid there’s something really wrong with this Shanhe Gang!”
After chasing all the way, Yun Tianfeng gradually felt that the Shanhe Gang was not simple.
Going out from the North City Gate is a transfer, and once you get outside, you have to cover up your traces, and then you have to go through the underground corridor. Is it necessary for a serious gang to recruit a few gang members to be so hidden and invisible?
"What do they want to do?"
Full of questions, the moonlight appeared in sight again. Looking from a distance, a simple walled city hundreds of meters away was already in darkness, like a murderer creeping in the forest at night, releasing a dangerous aura.
