Fozi left the village with a depressed heart and asked the White Lotus cultists who were guarding the intersection around the village one by one.
But the result is that no one has ever been out of the village.
This made him even more depressed.
When he came to a steep and unguarded mountain road, he stretched out his arms that were completely out of proportion to his body and climbed up the bushes and vines.
Although he thought from the bottom of his heart that the Saint was overly worried, when he was asked to come to check, he was more serious than anyone else.
Following the steep path up the steep slope, Fozi looked around, but saw a figure that was beyond his expectation.
The burly figure was digging a hole in the ground with a heavy sword in one hand. It could be seen from the still-dry soil on the side that he had been digging for a long time.
Seeing his strange behavior, Fozi couldn't help but frown and asked: "If you don't go to guard the saint, what are you doing here?"
The man's other sleeve was empty. When he heard the Buddha's voice, he turned around, and his empty eyes were so terrifying.
He put on an elusive smile and didn't say anything, but continued to dig the pit with his heavy sword.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Buddha was a little angry. If this man hadn't been brought here by the saint, he would have died just because he dared to ignore him.
The one-armed man responded calmly in an extremely strange tone: "You will know soon."
The man's indifferent tone angered Buddha, so he decided to show this man a little color so that he could understand what superiority and inferiority meant.
"snort!"
Fozi shouted angrily, and the weird weapon on his waist instantly flew towards the one-armed man's back. It can be expected that once the weapon like flying hooks and flying claws landed on the man's back, the man would be detached even if he died. Skin.
But what is shocking is that Fozi's inevitable blow came to nothing.
The man didn't look back, he just rolled around to avoid Buddha's attack.
The weird weapon returned to Fozi's hand instantly, and his expression became solemn.
"With some ability, no wonder the saint asked you to follow her."
Buddha praised him before taking action again.
Since he decided to teach this disrespectful person a lesson, he naturally had no reason to give up halfway.
The man leaned his heavy sword on the ground, his single eye filled with strange looks. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the hole hasn't been dug yet?"
"What's the meaning?"
"But at your size."
"It should be barely enough!"
"What do you think?"
"dwarf!"
The one-armed man's voice was very strange, but his words were still heard word for word by Buddha.
Fozi's face immediately darkened.
He hated people calling him a dwarf the most in his life. If just now he just wanted to teach this disrespectful guy a lesson, now he had murderous intentions.
He must kill this person!
Moreover, what did he just hear? This person dug a hole to bury him?
Simply, this is unreasonable!
Buddha's eyes were filled with rage, but his heart was extremely clear.
He can survive to this day only by being cautious.
Since this person boldly said that he would be buried here, he couldn't be careless.
"Come die!"
Fozi rushed towards the man with the strange weapon in his hand at the same time, leaving only an afterimage on the spot.
He decided to use overwhelming force to deal with this traitor who disrespected him.
That's right, no matter which camp a White Lotus cultist belongs to, they must obey those with a higher position than him without charge.
Otherwise, they will be treated as traitors.
If the one-armed man disrespects him today, he is a traitor.
In an instant, Fozi and the strange weapon in his hand were magnified infinitely in the one-armed man's pupils.
The man did not panic at all, but showed a mocking smile. He tilted his head back and dodged the hook weapon that came straight towards the door.
Then he twisted his waist to the extreme in an incredible posture, and slashed out with the heavy sword in his hand, heading straight for Fozi's waist.
The powerful and heavy sword actually caused waves of piercing sounds in the dense jungle.
Fozi felt the strong sword wind coming from his waist, and instantly retracted the iron rope, somersaulted sideways, and retreated several meters away like an ape.
He stared solemnly at the enemy in front of him. This enemy gave him a threat of death.
The one-armed man didn't make any impact with his sword. He exerted force with his feet and moved forward like a cannonball.
Fozi relied on his flexible body skills to continuously avoid the man's heavy sword, but was unable to form an effective counterattack. The physical gap between the two was too big.
But at the same time, the one-armed man's sword moves could not produce the desired effect in the dense jungle. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and neither could do anything to the other.
"snort!"
Fozi was a little embarrassed. The enemy's strength and speed far exceeded the opponents he had encountered before. If he continued to consume like this, the situation would be very unfavorable to him.
He shrank his head to avoid the heavy sword slashed by the man, and the heavy sword force made his scalp numb.
But at the moment when the man was accumulating strength, Fozi also found an opportunity. The hook weapon in his hand came out, but it did not go towards the man, but towards a thick tree trunk not far away.
"Zi La~"
A heartbreaking sound sounded, and the weapon was embedded deeply into the trunk of the giant tree. The other end of the iron rope was tied to Fozi's waist. The man's sword struck again, and he saw that the iron rope around Fozi's waist shortened rapidly. , Buddha's entire body disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, Buddha was already clinging to the thick tree trunk like a flexible ape.
The man had no time to retract his sword, and a large tree with a diameter of enough feet was broken in response.
Fozi broke into cold sweat all of a sudden. He didn't expect this person to be so fierce.
"Ah!"
The man's strength seemed to be endless, and an exaggerated heavy sword danced vigorously in his hand.
"Where to go?"
The man shouted loudly, and his whole body instantly shot up.
Fozi gritted his teeth. This man's strength was indeed beyond his expectation. Those fierce generals in the army probably didn't have such a level.
Looking at the rapidly approaching sword, a ferocious aura flashed through Fozi's eyes, and he did not dodge or dodge, letting the heavy sword strike towards him.
The man's eyes already showed cruelty, and he seemed to have seen the scene where Fozi's body exploded like a watermelon under his heavy sword.
But before his heavy sword landed on Fozi's head, he felt his shoulders go numb, and then his whole body fell into the air completely uncontrollably.
Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the iron rope around Buddha's waist had disappeared, and the missing end was tightly grasping his shoulder blade.
Similarly, Fozi also fell from a giant tree several feet high and hit the ground heavily.
Both sides suffer!
After all, Fozi's body was more flexible. After rolling on the ground to remove most of his strength, he pulled the iron rope straight.
A large piece of flesh on the man's shoulder blade disappeared, and he couldn't help but groan in pain.
He stood up despite the pain, looked at Buddha who was not far away and looked at him with fearful eyes, and suddenly smiled and said: "I underestimated you."
The Buddha held the iron rope and asked fearfully: "Who are you? Why have I never heard of people like you in the White Lotus Sect?"
The one-armed man smiled without saying a word and stepped forward again!
The fight between the two fell into the eyes of the girl hiding in the hole of a certain big tree.
She covered her mouth, her eyes filled with horror.
She has never seen such a fight scene. This person is not human at all. How can anyone fly more than three meters high in one leap?
This is God, no, it is the devil!
...
...
The internal fighting among the White Lotus Sect did not affect Chen Kan who was crawling through the dense jungle.
Chen Kan also didn't expect that he would go into the woods when he was fighting with the White Lotus Sect in Shu. He didn't expect that he would have to go into the woods when he came to Yunnan. What's even more disgusting is that it was also because of the White Lotus Sect.
The mountains in Yunnan are so big that hundreds of people are hidden in the vast mountains, even worse than ants.
Chen Kan and Mu Sheng each covered their faces with a piece of cloth. The cloth was wetted with urine, and a layer of charcoal was placed in the interlayer.
The reason why this thing is covered is because it is said that it can effectively isolate the miasma in the mountains.
Another reason why there are so few people in Yunnan is that, except for a few cultivated areas, most of the untouched mountains and old forests contain serious poisonous gases.
The Han people call this poisonous gas miasma, while among the native people, this miasma is called Yin Feng.
Once ordinary people inhale the miasma in the mountains and forests, they will get the miasma disease, commonly known as malaria.
The smell of urine was terrible, even though it was his own urine, Chen Kan still felt like nauseating.
I don’t know if this counts as drinking my own urine. Will the cute girl with big eyes dislike me after I go back?
Leading the way for Chen Kan and Mu Sheng was another general who came out from the Pai Yi Tusi. He didn't bring a diaper. In his words, it was because he was used to it and was immune.
After spending most of the day, everyone finally got out of the untrodden mountains and old forests, and gathered in a cave. The cave was hidden in the dense forest and grass, and it was extremely secretive. It was only ten miles away from Wangyue Village. In the distance, you can vaguely see the stockade halfway up the mountain through the gap.
After getting into the cave, the first thing Chen Kan did was to throw the diaper over his mouth out of the cave.
But even so, he still felt that the entire cave was filled with the smell of urine.
He suppressed his nausea and called the barbarian who came to guide them, and asked: "Is there any unknown secret passage that can lead to the village?"
What Chen Kan is most worried about now is that once they launch a strong attack, the people of the White Lotus Sect will attack the people in the village.
Those people were innocent people, and Chen Kan didn't want to implicate them.
But Chieftain Baiyi's answer immediately made Chen Kan's heart freeze.
He shook his head and said: "There are thousands of roads to the village, they are all small roads, but there are no secret roads."
Chen Kan frowned tightly. If nothing else happens, the entire road to Wangyue Village is now blocked by the White Lotus Sect. If there is no way to get into the village and cooperate with the cavalry who have not yet arrived, the people in the village will It is very likely that he will be massacred by the White Lotus Sect.
Things are difficult.
After a while, Chen Kan asked: "Master Hou, if I am to serve as bait, can you lead the troops to rescue the people in the village?"
"Are you going to be a bait?"
"No, it's too dangerous!"
Mu Sheng rejected Chen Kan's proposal without thinking.
Are you kidding me? How can the lives of a group of wild monkeys in Wangyue Village be compared with the lives of the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court?
What's more, this young imperial envoy is now His Majesty's son-in-law.
Mu Sheng had no doubt that if Chen Kan died in Yunnan, His Majesty would definitely mobilize an army to sweep the whole of Yunnan.
After rejecting Chen Kan's proposal, Mu Sheng said fiercely: "Let's attack by force. There are just a group of mountain natives on the left and right. At worst, after annihilating the White Lotus Sect, I will personally come to apologize to the big man who betrayed the chieftain."
Mu Sheng's proposal immediately won the approval of the three tired censors. In their opinion, the chieftains were not human beings, but just a group of talking monkeys.
If hundreds of people in a village can be exchanged for such a great achievement as annihilating the backbone of the White Lotus Sect, then it is not a good deal.
Anyone who doesn’t do this kind of business is a fool!
Zhang San, Fang Xu and two hundred households who were guarding Chen Kan even drew their long swords from their sheaths, their faces full of desire for making contributions.
As soon as Chen Kan gave the order, they planned to rush down the mountain with their men, and kill all the mountain people and White Lotus cultists. Anyway, these people were unstable factors for the court, even if they were all killed , they will not have any psychological burden.
"no."
Chen Kan also decisively rejected Mu Sheng's proposal.
Although he was not a Holy Mother and had a lot of human lives on his hands, he knew very well who should die and who should not.
He is not a decisive and decisive leader.
The principle that one general's success will destroy all bones does not apply to him.
If he had to exchange the lives of so many innocent people for his own, his conscience would be uneasy.
After finally traveling through time, he really wanted to become an unparalleled person, but if the price was to step on the corpses of kind and innocent people, he would rather use his own body as bait.
What's more, Ah Jin and his grandfather are so kind.
Chen Kan looked at Mu Sheng and said very seriously: "Master Hou, you said when you came here that you will obey my arrangements in everything."
"I..."
Mu Sheng wanted to say something else, but Chen Kan had already made arrangements.
He looked at the people in the cave and asked, "I'm going to serve as bait. Which of you is willing to go with me?"
This was equivalent to asking who was willing to die with him, but neither Fang Xu nor Zhang San hesitated. They obeyed Chen Kan's arrangement unconditionally, even if Chen Kan wanted them to die.
The Baihu sent by the Fifth Army Governor's Office also joined the crowd, not because he was loyal to Chen Kan, but mainly because Chen Kan was dead. Even if he returned to the capital alone, he would not escape death.
The three censors looked at each other and finally stood up. Chen Kan opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
None of the people Chen Kan brought from the capital stayed there.
The hundreds of households who escorted Chen Kan from Shengjing Pass to Lin'an, as well as the personal guards brought by Mu Sheng, looked at Mu Sheng.
They absolutely obey Mu Sheng's orders. If Mu Sheng wants them to die, they will go.
Mu Sheng looked at Chen Kan's resolute face and knew that it was impossible for him to change his mind. He gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, you go and leave the stronghold to me. I can't guarantee that I can survive the chaos." The lives of everyone in the village will be sacrificed, but I will try my best to drive out the White Lotus Sect and kill them all."
"please."
Chen Kan handed over to Mu Sheng and led the imperial team down the mountain from the other direction in a swaggering manner.
Since they were making bait, there was no need to hide their whereabouts. They just wanted to attract all the White Lotus cultists so that Mu Sheng could cooperate with Luo Qianhu's cavalry to protect the people in the village.
Chen Kan led his men to the official road and intercepted half of Luo Qianhu's horses on the way, and then pretended to be returning home.
Chen Kan was riding at the front, wearing a crimson official uniform that was extremely conspicuous.
But he was still worried in his heart. Although his trip to Lin'an was completely random, who knew whether the White Lotus Sect's spies had the ability to find out his whereabouts?
What if the people from the White Lotus Sect are not fooled?
Chen Kan was worried in his heart, and he still had to look high-spirited as if he had completed the task and returned to Beijing to receive the reward. Chen Kan felt extremely aggrieved.
...
In the dense forest not far from Wangyue Village, the battle between the two gradually came to a close.
Although Fozi is agile, the opponent is not worse than him.
More importantly, the one-armed man's size occupies a huge advantage.
The two Buddhas were not as tall as a man when stacked up. They were completely crushed in terms of size and strength. In terms of speed, the opponent was not much different from him. How could they fight?
After dodging the deadly sword again, Fozi hung on the branch panting. At this moment, he already regretted provoking this person.
On the other hand, although the man was also breathing rapidly, he obviously still had some energy left.
Fozi was very confused at the moment. If he chose to run away now, the man might not be able to catch up with him. After all, he had lived with the monkeys for so many years, and the jungle was just like his own home.
But he couldn't hold back his face. The majestic Xifozi of the White Lotus Sect was actually defeated by a thug under the Saint. If this spreads out, will he still have any prestige in the White Lotus Sect?
What's more important is that he supported the saint with one hand. If he loses, will the saint be at his mercy in the future?
Now Buddha really has the intention to retreat.
And the hesitation in his eyes was also seen by the one-armed man.
The one-armed man smiled.
Anyone who has been licking blood from the edge of a knife all year round knows that the more cherished a person is, the easier it is to die. The more sullen a person is with his head and slashing with a knife, the more likely he is to become the final winner.
Fozi has been accustomed to living a high-class life in these years, and he has cherished his life to the extreme.
Based on this alone, it is impossible for Buddha to walk out of here alive today.
The two took a few breaths, and then the one-armed man stepped forward again with a sword in one hand.
A flash of shame and anger flashed in Fozi's eyes, and then he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
He didn't want to fight. As for reputation and face, it didn't matter in the face of life.
But this was what the one-armed man was waiting for. A ferocious smile appeared on his face and he threw away the heavy sword in his hand.
Then he straightened his arm, revealing a wrist-like mechanism.
With a slight shake of his arm, several inch-long short needles flew out.
Before Buddha could jump, he felt a pain in his back and his body suddenly lost strength.
Fozi's face was filled with astonishment, as if he had not expected that the man would use such despicable means as a concealed weapon.
He turned around in disbelief: "Impossible, I am invulnerable to all poisons.
