Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 57
Is there any reason for cheating?
What surprised everyone was Fang Kai's attitude towards Chu Tang.

The latter completely denied the former's previous idea, Fang Kai was not angry at all, as if he still wanted to affirm Chu Tang!
Copying the path, if you encounter an interception again, it will really be called every day should not be done, and the ground will not work.

Even though they were attacked by so many men in black at the post station on the official road, if something happened to them, it would be difficult for them and their group to find a better place to hide if something happened to them.

Is it necessary to listen to such an idea?

The most anxious person present was Shi Zhifeng. As Chu Tang's colleagues, they were all arrests from Shixian County. He didn't look at Xu Wei's monk face, but also took into account the face of the Shixian county government, for fear that Chu Tang would lose face. or offended Fang Kai, resulting in no good fruit to eat.

However, his neck was almost distorted and his eyes were almost slanted. Even if Chu Tang ignored Shi Zhifeng's expression and eyes, he could only say nothing.

Chu Tang didn't seem to notice the surprised gazes of the crowd. Facing Fang Kai, Lang Lang said, "Master Fang, I suggest taking the trail for three reasons. One is that it is not safe to take the official road. How many roads can we drive in a day? Wherever we go, we need to rest. People with a heart can see it and calculate it completely. They can even set up traps at our footholds in advance, waiting for us to fall in. Now it’s just a raid on the post. If they poison us, deploy What about the Mountain of Swords and Forest of Swords?"

Fang Kai nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "What you said is indeed very reasonable, but people can set up the traps you mentioned on the trails. There are many mountains and rivers on the trails, and the places are more Narrow, unfamiliar terrain, we are more likely to be recruited."

"That's right! There must be a reason for us to follow the official path!"

"What's your heart, boy! The small road is much more dangerous than the official road!"

The others were condemning again.

"Shut up!" Fang Kai's face darkened, and he said after bluffing them, "Chu Tang, you said there are three reasons, what about the second point?"

Chu Tang's expression also became more serious, and said: "The second point is the direct reason why we have to take the trail. That is, we can't afford it anymore! The enemy came last night with two fighters from the four realms. Who knows how many masters will come later? What if more experts from the four realms, or even five realms, come?"

Everyone's complexion tightened, thinking of the consequences, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

Chu Tang continued: "Even if we set off before dawn tomorrow, according to the distance, we will arrive at Pingxian County tomorrow night. It takes a whole day, and we have a big goal. They can ambush us at any time they want! Only Take the trail and rush to the county seat as soon as possible, so that we can have some guarantee of safety."

Fang Kai was completely silent. Based on his experience in traveling the rivers and lakes, he naturally considered the possibility of taking a shortcut.

But he chose to follow the official path in the end because he had a fluke mentality.

However, the impact of a large group of men in black last night completely dispelled his luck.

People don't care whether they are official or not, or whether they are in a post, they can do whatever they want!
Just as Chu Tang said, only two four-level warriors came last night. If they came to the fifth level and waited for work with leisure, would they still have room to resist?

"Hey!" Fang Kai sighed, "Chu Tang, what is your third reason? I can only consider the first two points you mentioned."

A smile appeared on Chu Tang's face, and he said, "The third reason was given by Mr. Fang."

"I gave it?" Fang Kai's eyes were full of doubts.

Chu Tang said: "Lord Fang, you sent two groups of people to scout the way. They followed the official path. Those who wanted to attack us must have seen these actions. It is true that the two groups of brothers did not find anything unusual. , but as long as people lurk and only observe without doing anything, it will be difficult for us to find out."

"So what if they saw it?" One of Fang Kai's men asked in confusion.

"I see!" Chu Tang laughed. "They saw it, and they must think that we will continue to follow the official path. Even if we are on guard against us taking the small path, I guess most of their power will be deployed on the official path. Even the small path has arrangements. , presumably the power is not great. This gave us a chance instead!"

"Wonderful!" Fang Kai's eyes lit up, he slapped his thighs, and stood up excitedly, staring at Chu Tang with excitement, "Why didn't I think that you can use it the other way around! We beat grass to startle snakes, Let the snake think that we are going to hit it. But we are doing the opposite, and we are defeating their calculations!"

Everyone was stunned, and looked at Chu Tang with surprise.

This young detective is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has a good brain!
Or is it a seedling who hides wisdom and courage?
Chu Tang added: "We can even divide our troops into two groups, pretending to follow the official route, and escorting the prisoners to follow the trail, so that they will be even more confused."

"No!" Fang Kai categorically rejected this suggestion, "We already have few people, and if we divide our forces, our forces will be even more dispersed, and we will not even have the ability to protect ourselves. Besides, it is not good for any of you to follow the official path. fair!"

Chu Tang let out a groan, and Fang Kai was greatly admired.

The so-called unfairness of taking the official path means that there are more enemies and larger hostile forces waiting in the official path. If the opponent finds out that he has been tricked, he is afraid that he will wantonly kill those who are on the official path because of venting his hatred.

If the troops are divided, the official people can say that they are close to death, and the danger is extremely dangerous.

As the boss, Fang Kai can arrange for himself to follow the path and let others follow the official path.

But he didn't choose to let others die. Instead, he asked everyone to get together, live together if they want to live, and die together if they want to die.

If the leader does this, it can be regarded as the utmost benevolence.

After hearing Fang Kai's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, after all, no one wanted to be the one who was given up.

"We advance and retreat together, we live and die together, and there is no regret in dying!" Fang Kai clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, this is a difficult time. As long as we work together in the same boat and work together, we will surely overcome this difficulty. Everyone Grit your teeth, hold on, and we will be safe when we reach Ping County."

"Your Excellency is righteous! Willing to obey orders!" The crowd shouted loudly.

Fang Kai pondered for a while, and said: "There is a small road to the east. I will walk along it. If you go fast, you will be able to reach Pingxian County in half a day. Since we want to catch the enemy by surprise, then we will act more similarly." One o'clock is fine. Everyone continues to rest in the afternoon, and some of us go out to buy in the evening, pretending to stay here overnight or even for a long time.

"Then, in the middle of the night and early morning, we rushed to the trail and galloped on horses. We mainly protect people, and if the horse is injured, the two of us will ride together. If all goes well, we will be able to enter Ping County at noon!
"Everyone, let's do it!"

Fang Kai is mature and considerate.

Obviously, Fang Kai was also persuaded by Chu Tang, followed his advice, and planned to cheat!
"Follow your lord's arrangement!" Although the arresters had doubts, they were still willing to fight with Fang Kai.

Fang Kai nodded in satisfaction, and arranged tasks for everyone one by one.

Half a day passed, and soon evening came.

Some of the arresters were busy with meals and overnight supplies at the post, while others secretly prepared their bags, fed the horses, and waited for Fang Kai's order to set off in the middle of the night.

Everyone is in the same boat, with the same hearts and minds, and they cooperate seamlessly.

After nightfall, the town fell into silence again.

The posthouse was quiet, except for some yellowish and dim spots of light from the lanterns hanging outside the house, the rest of the place was completely dark.

When Zishi just arrived, Fang Kai was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he changed his previous plan of arranging to leave at Choushi, and set off an hour earlier!
The prisoner was knocked out and tied to a horse, led by Fang Kai.

Afterwards, everyone got on their horses and quietly left the post house. After walking the official road for one mile, they suddenly turned east and entered a small road that only allowed two people to pass.

"drive!"

The people beat their horses, led by the person holding the torch in front, and ran quickly on the trail.

The rattling of horseshoes made repeated noises in the silent night, and soon disappeared into the constantly moving night.
