After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 162
"Then you really met the real master?"

That night, Hai Jiao returned home with the good news. When communicating with her sister in private, Hai Tang asked this question.

Hai Jiao smiled a little proudly: "I didn't expect that my luck would be so good. I just passed the intersection and found a place to hide myself. Within two quarters of an hour, the person came over. This fish was all automatic If you are caught, there is no reason for me to let him go?"

Haitang curled her lips, somewhat disdainful of her brother's proud look.But soon she praised him objectively: "This is because you were careful and cautious. From the perspective of a spy, you guessed his most likely escape route. Otherwise, it would have been entirely up to the veterans to contain them. They deployed their heavy troops in the wrong direction. Only I’m afraid I’ll really let that person escape!”

Hai Jiao was so proud that he made a pertinent comment: "Grandpa Zhang and the others are not negligent. The main reason is that their ideas are different from those of the secret agents. They have never dealt with such people before. They can't figure out the opponent's pulse, so they will be insidious." It was a mistake. But even if I was not there, the killer might not be able to escape smoothly. Although the intersection I was guarding was not heavily guarded, there were still several people there. The killer wanted to escape under the crowd. He couldn't have done it alone. It's just that he came suddenly and no one was prepared at the time. I was the only one who reacted first."

The veterans have spent half their lives on the northwest border and have long been accustomed to the way that when enemies are encountered in border towns, the army and the people join forces to fight against them.They all felt that since the killer was surrounded, he must have escaped to the mountains first. After all, the mountains were a large place and covered by trees, making it easier to escape.

As for the direction Haijiao chose, there were so many people there, so wasn't the killer afraid of being blocked by the villagers?Although this is the Zhuangzi of the Du family, it is impossible for the people in Chang'an to help the gangsters and veterans fight.The banker of the Du family had been neighbors with Zhuangzi, a veteran of the Zhou family for decades, so he naturally recognized the faces of the veterans and knew who to stop.

The veterans did not expect that this spy was not from the northwest frontier, and he was probably not a native of Chang'an. He had no idea of ​​the local people's ways, and had no idea of ​​avoiding passers-by.He just hid in the crowd as quickly as possible. The more people around him, the more confident he was to get through.

The two sides had different ideas, which created this small loophole.There were only three or four veterans guarding the east exit of Dujiazhuangzi, and they almost let the killer take advantage of the loophole.

Fortunately, there is a reef.

He had been trained as a secret agent, and his ideas had a lot in common with that of the young killer.Although he chose this intersection with the intention of picking up the slack, it was also because he thought that the other routes that the killer might choose were heavily guarded and there was no need for him.As for those routes that he and the veterans thought were unlikely to be chosen by the killer, they only sent people to guard them just in case. Even the value of picking up the leaks was gone, and it would be in vain to go there. Of course he would not Go waste time.

At that time, the killer rushed out of the village with a ghostly figure and extremely fast speed. The veterans searching for people in the village did not seem to notice it. The veterans guarding the ditch outside the village were still looking at the situation in the village. Hai Jiao was the first to notice the killer's figure. He immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The killer heard the sound of wind when the arrow was shot, and narrowly avoided it. In order to avoid the second and third arrows that followed, he kept jumping and moving, and could not continue to rush out.His escape was hampered, and by the time he found shelter from the bows and arrows, the veterans had already surrounded him from all sides.

Even though the veterans only hold common farm tools such as wooden sticks, rakes, and hoes in their hands, in the hands of these battle-experienced veterans, farm tools can also become very lethal weapons, not to mention the nearby soil slopes. , and Hai Jiao, the archer, was condescending and would shoot an arrow from time to time.If it weren't for the fact that two more accomplices of the killer came later and fought with the veterans, giving him a chance to breathe, he would never have found a chance to escape.

During this period, a veteran was injured, and the other two were in a stalemate with the killer's accomplices, and the young killer escaped from the encirclement.Haijiao saw that he was running into the ravine and had a bunker. The range of his bow and arrow was affected and he could no longer exert its power as before. He dropped his bow and arrow, pulled out his dagger and chased after him.The two chased for several miles in the ditch, and had three or four hand-to-hand encounters. Hai Jiao successfully stabbed the other party, but the other party's accomplices arrived and shot several arrows at Hai Jiao.Hai Jiao retreated to avoid the arrow, allowing the young killer to take the opportunity to escape.

Speaking of this, Hai Jiao was still sulking: "If I had stabbed half an inch deeper with the knife, the killer would never have been able to escape. Even if he escaped, he would still be bleeding all the way! It's a pity... I've been back for two years." , although I have been practicing martial arts diligently, my strength is still a bit lacking, I must work harder in the future!"

Haitang listened to her brother's thrilling experience and was always on guard all the way.Although I had known that Haijiao would return home safely and that no oily skin had fallen off on his body, and there were only a few bruises from bumps, but I heard that he had fought with real swords and guns, how could he not break out in a cold sweat?

When she heard that Hai Jiao was still regretting not being able to keep the person behind, she stopped complaining and asked directly: "The killer escaped. Where are his accomplices? How many were caught?"

"Everyone who stayed behind the main hall of the village was captured. Those who caught up were killed and others were arrested. The one who showed up to save people in the end fled with them." Hai Jiao couldn't help but sigh again, "They fled into the town. . Even if I just jumped into the houses with high walls on the edge of the town to hide, I couldn't chase him. It was really a pity! When Lao Zhangtou and the others came over later, they listened to my directions and tried to find a way to get to the town. After searching around, I found some traces, but I really didn't know which house the killer hid in later, so I had to send people to guard several intersections, and then told the prefect's Yamen about the matter. Can the prefect's Yamen No one is sure of catching someone.”

Whether it is officers, soldiers or veterans, they can at most stop people who are dressed suspiciously, but if the young killer and his accomplices ride in a carriage and leave on the road in a swagger like normal residents of the town, the veterans will not be able to Stop the car and search it!And among the wealthy families who have summer residences in the town, who is missing a carriage?
Nowadays, the people sent by the prefecture's yamen and the veterans who stayed in the town can only go door to door to inform the servants guarding the other courtyards, asking them to beware of uninvited guests at home. Sleep.

I don’t know how long it will take for this matter to come to an end. Seeing that it was getting late, Lao Zhangtou asked Hai Jiao to go home first.He doesn't need to worry about the rest.Hai Xiya has just returned to Chang'an to take up a post. This may offend the local big business in Chang'an, so it is better not to let a half-year-old Haijiao get his hands on it.

Hai Jiao still felt a little guilty about this: "I failed to catch the person, but Grandpa Zhang and the others didn't blame me at all. They praised me for being smart and hurt the killer, and comforted me not to take it to heart, saying that they would definitely take care of him." Someone found it. I only regretted that I didn't work harder at that time. In fact, the person who rushed to shoot at me was very accurate. I didn't need to be afraid at all. Even if I got an arrow, it was just a flesh wound. As long as I got there as soon as possible Give the killer a knife so that he can no longer escape and that's it. Why didn't I think of that?"

Haitang couldn't help but glare at him: "Brother, what are you talking about?! You are not a low-level spy whose life is worthless now. If you are really injured, what will your family think?!"

Hai Jiao immediately felt annoyed for his blunder, and said with a smile, "Don't be upset, little sister, I was joking."

Haitang did not argue with him and continued to ask about business: "I thought there was only one killer left, why did he suddenly have so many accomplices?"
