East Factory Governor

Chapter 643 The Cunning Zhang Xianzhong
Li Jingting immediately took orders, led more than 500 Jinyiwei, and split up to investigate the whereabouts of Zhang Xianzhong's men.

Qin Shuhuai believes that the entire Wenxi County is now under the siege of the army, and all the roads out of the county have been blocked, making it difficult for Zhang Xianzhong to fly.

So let the army stay in place and wait for the report.

In addition, Zhang Xiao and Zu Dashou (Zu Dashou and the [-] cavalry Qin Shuhuai did not "return" to Yuan Chonghuan for the time being) each brought [-] cavalry, and after encircling Wenxi County on the left and right wings, they were also waiting for Qin Shuhuai's order.

The three-way army just waited.

An hour later, Li Jingting sent someone to report, but there was still no trace of Zhang Xianzhong.

And Zhang Xiao and Zu Dashou did not report any news.

Only then did Qin Shuhuai realize that something was wrong.

Can't help wondering: where did Zhang Xianzhong go?

At this time, Qiu Dali came over and said, "Shu Huai, is it because Zhang Xianzhong hasn't run away yet, but is hiding somewhere in the mountains and never came out?"

Lai San'er immediately said, "Impossible. We searched very carefully. There is indeed no one on the mountain. There is only a large empty camp. If you don't believe me, you can ask Chen Jing."

Chen Jing also said immediately, "Guangzhu, I have indeed searched everything, nothing."

Qin Shuhuai thought for a while and said, "The two of you will each bring a thousand soldiers to search. You have to drag a net to search, and don't let go of any caves or valleys!"

Lai San'er and Chen Jing immediately said, "This subordinate takes orders."

They each ordered 1000 people to go up the mountain.

Qin Shuhuai thinks that Yuantou Mountain is very big, and Lai San'er and Chen Jing only brought 30 people each, so they may not be able to search clearly.Especially when they saw the empty camp, they mentally believed that Zhang Xianzhong had already run away, so the subsequent search must not be careful.

Otherwise, there are more than 1 troops, how can they say that they are gone?

Could it be that someone tipped off the news?

It should be impossible.

Now Zhang Xianzhong is almost a bereaved dog, who is so stupid to give him his life?Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong has been hiding in southern Shanxi for a long time, how did he plant spies in the martial arts coalition?
At this moment, Qiu Dali ran happily and said, "Shu Huai, the people from the White Lotus Sect are here!"

The White Lotus Sect is Qin Shuhuai's intelligence network, and now everyone knows it.

Qin Shuhuai was also overjoyed, and said, "Let him come here quickly!"

The person who came was a thin young man. Seeing Qin Shuhuai, he hurriedly said, "Subordinate Qi Erniu, the head of the Yuncheng Branch of the Bailian Sect, pays his respects to the leader."

Qin Shuhuai called him up, then carefully checked his identity document, and then asked, "What's the matter here?"

Qi Erniu said, "I would like to report to the leader, my subordinate has been mixed in Zhang Xianzhong's team, and he is a school official. About two hours ago, Zhang Xianzhong found out that the leader led an army to ask for it, so he hurriedly led the army and fled westward. They want to travel across Shaanxi to Gansu and seek refuge with the Demon Sect!"

Qin Shuhuai frowned, did he know it two hours ago?Is this loyal horse sent so far away?
Or did the coalition really have spies?

This is, Qiu Dali asked, "Why did you report it now?"

Qi Erniu said, "People keep coming in and wanting to surrender to the imperial court, so Zhang Xianzhong is watching closely. I managed to get out with great difficulty!"

Qin Shuhuai immediately said, "Qi Erniu, just lead the army, and we will chase after it immediately."

Then he said to Meng Wei, "Lao Meng, send someone to inform Zu Dashou and Zhang Xiao that Zhang Xianzhong has gone west! By the way, call Lai San'er and Chen Jing down too."

Meng Wei hurriedly said, "Yes, this subordinate will do it now!"

Immediately, the army gathered quickly, and then set off directly to pursue westward.

Qin Shuhuai thinks that Zhang Xianzhong is in a panic now.

Because the west is going through the vicinity of Hancheng, although most of Shaanxi's heavy troops are now gathered at the junction with Sichuan, it is impossible for Hong Chengchou, an important town like Hancheng, not to let go of a large army.

But considering that he has nowhere to go now, he probably can only make a seemingly gamble and join the Demon Cult.

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai sent several horse posts to rush to Hancheng first, and asked the guards of Hancheng to send troops to intercept Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

As soon as the army had walked five or six miles away, Lai San'er chased after him on horseback.

After running to Qin Shuhuai's side, he yelled, "Hey, this old boy Zhang Xianzhong can run fast enough! It made me spend a whole day wandering around the mountain."

Qiu Dali joked, "Then did you find anything?"

"I found a fart! After searching for a long time, I found a cave. Go in and see the bottomless. Speaking of which, if Meng Wei hadn't sent someone to report Zhang Xianzhong's whereabouts and found it, I really want to go in and find out!"

Meng Wei joked, "Hehe, why, you thought it was a blessed place where you can find immortal immortals?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The speaker has no intention but the listener does, Qin Shuhuai felt that something was wrong.

Ask Lai San'er, "You said there are caves on the mountain?"

"Well, it's very deep. However, it can't hide 1 people."

Meng Wei interjected, "What if there are several caves like this?"

Qin Shuhuai reined in the horse abruptly, and then said to Meng Hu, "Bring me Qi Erniu."

Without further ado, Meng Hu ran to the front of the team and brought over Qi Erniu who was leading the way.

Qin Shuhuai asked, "Qi Erniu, where did the guest come from?"

This is the secret code of the White Lotus Sect. Qin Shuhuai used it before when he was connected with the White Lotus Sect in Shangluo and other places.

The correct answer is: relatives from my hometown.

Then Qin Shuhuai asked again, which relatives were they, and the other party replied: a vacuum hometown, no mother, where all relatives are relatives, where brothers are brothers.

Qi Erniu was stunned.

He obviously knew that this nonsensical remark was a signal for a connection.

But he couldn't answer.

After a while, he stammered, "Master, the guest, the guest is coming from afar!"

Qin Shuhuai smiled coldly, and said, "I'm not small, I dare to lie to you."

Qi Erniu was slightly taken aback, and then he let out a long sigh.

"Hehe, the Duke of the State is really perceptive, I admire you."

Everyone was surprised.

Is this Qi Erniu a fake?
Qiu Dali immediately reacted, and said to Meng Wei, "Lao Meng, hurry up and send an order to stop the army!"

Meng Wei responded, and immediately galloped forward.

Qin Shuhuai asked, "Qi Erniu, you dare to use this plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain knowing that you are dead. I admire your courage. Tell me, how did you get the identity document of the White Lotus Sect? The description of the appearance of the person holding the ultimatum is similar to yours?"

Qi Erniu smiled disdainfully, "Many White Lotus Sects were mixed in the team, and unfortunately one was found below. The description on the document is not exhaustive. After all, the biggest characteristic of this Qi Erniu is that he has a chin. It's just a mole. Wouldn't I just make one myself?"

Saying that, "Qi Er Niu" removed the mole on his chin.

The army stopped, and Qiu Dali came to ask what to do.Qin Shuhuai waved his hand, signaling the army to return to Yuantou Mountain.

Then he said to "Qi Erniu", "So, Zhang Xianzhong is really hiding in the cave?"

"Qi Erniu" said, "Don't you know if the Duke goes to see for himself?"

"You don't want to atone for your crimes and save yourself a way out?" Qin Shuhuai asked calmly.

"Hehe", "Qi Erniu" smiled calmly, "Master, please remember, I am not as heroic as you, but I am more or less a man. I will not betray my brother."

Qin Shuhuai nodded appreciatively, "I remember, you are a man, it's a pity that you followed the wrong Ren."

Then, turn the horse's head and walk back.

Before leaving, he said to Meng Hu, "Meng Hu, just give him a ride, give him a good time."

But he couldn't hear the light and laughed, "Don't bother the Duke!"

After saying that, he clapped his hands together and patted his forehead, bleeding from all his orifices immediately, and he fell off the horse.

The army quickly withdrew and surrounded Yuantou Mountain again.
