Martial Arts: Dress up as a traitor and traitor

Chapter 33
Fire shot into the sky and thunder exploded.

Such a big movement not only alarmed the Hosokawa clan bandits in the heart of the mountain.

The three forces of the government, Perak Hall, and the Haisha Gang had suspicions about this place because the earth-walking ninja was severely injured by Zhang Yong and fled towards Luoshang Mountain with his seriously injured body, and they were conducting a carpet search.

This shocking explosion certainly attracted their attention.

The three parties had secretly exchanged information through Xiao Jingxing. When they saw this situation, the first thing they thought of was the thirty [Five-Eyed Guns] and eight [Godly Cannons] obtained by the Japanese bandits who intercepted and killed the Xishu Escort Agency. !
Everyone speculated that they might have encountered a strong enemy, so they did not hesitate to expose their position and relied on these two powerful firearms to protect themselves.

Ichiro Kumazawa, the strongest member of the Hosokawa mission, has been seriously injured. The rest are in the innate realm, far from being able to run rampant, and may have conflicts with local masters.

Thinking of this, the three parties immediately flew pigeons to pass the message, notifying several leaders, and at the same time they attacked Luoshang Mountain from all directions.

About two quarters of an hour later.

Lei Yunting from Jiangnan Perak Hall arrived first with more than 30 firearms masters; then, Mi Hanquan, the incense master of the Haisha Gang, also arrived with more than a hundred gang members; and finally Du Xuan, a member of the Quanzhou Wei Baihu, arrived with more than 300 gang members. More than [-] officers and soldiers lined up at the foot of the mountain.

The three parties gathered together, surrounding but not attacking, waiting for their respective bosses to come over.

"Diao Xia" Dongfang Ce traveled with the eagle and was the first to arrive.

With him here, everyone present has a backbone.

Although Hosokawa Kaede and the Five Ninjas are powerful, Dongfang Ce is not a vegetarian either. His "Six Awakening Sword Art" and his unique palm technique "Jade Broken Palm" are amazingly powerful. Even if they are defeated, they can still entangle them and drag them to others. The masters arrived and caught them all.

Without saying a word, everyone started to attack the mountain!
But unexpectedly, the three parties encircled them without any resistance. To be precise, there was no one on the mountain.

The people from Perak Hall found a secret passage into the cave at the base of the mountain, but it was already empty.

There were only a lot of military armors, cooking utensils and food left that were too late to take away, and not a single person was left.

They came so quickly, but they still managed to escape.

Du Xuan's face was livid, he let out a sigh, and cursed: "A bunch of bastards, they escaped quickly! In order to hide in the mountains without being discovered, they first abandoned the two hundred army horses, and today they fled in a panic to cover up others' eyes, and then abandoned them again. Armor! I don’t have anything. It’s hard to move around in Quanzhou. Next time we meet, I’ll kill them!”

Du Xuan was filled with murderous intentions.

This group of Japanese thieves have been rampant in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces for more than a month, looting wantonly, killing and injuring people, and playing tricks on the officers and soldiers. This is a great shame!

And the shame can only be washed away with their blood!

"strangeness……"

"Diao Xia" Dongfang Ce was astute. Looking at the bedding in the cave that had no time to tidy up, he immediately thought of the crux of the problem. He frowned and said, "It took you about two quarters of an hour to arrive on horseback. They have no horses and can only rely on walking." , how far can it go? The three parties converged here from all directions, so why didn’t they meet them along the way?"

"..."

Hearing this, Du Xuan, Mi Hanquan, and Lei Yunting were all stunned.

Yup!

After he reminded them, they all reacted. Could it be that this group of thieves could still fly and escape?
Du Xuan looked at Lei Yunting: "Master Lei, are there any other caves in the mountain that can hide people?"

These words obviously showed distrust in Perak Hall's ability to search for the secret passage of the agency, but revenge was important at the moment, so Lei Yunting did not care about it and said bluntly: "The natural grotto is only so big, and the mountain's geology is hard, so it is not easy to dig. Installing a mechanical secret door, plus the narrow entrance and exit, it is not easy to transport the sand and gravel soil, and there is no sign of construction recently... Don't worry, Du Baihu, if this group of people is still in the mountains, I will give you my head!"

Lei Yunting could not be tough when it came to the Tang Clan, but he would not tolerate anyone outside the Tang Clan.

"you……"

Du Xuan's face turned even darker.

Mi Hanquan quickly smoothed things over: "Young Hall Master, you are serious. The Pili Hall's mechanism technology comes from the Tang Sect, so how can I not trust you? My junior brother is also looking for thieves. He is straightforward and has no malice... That's strange. They can Where are you running to?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"not good!"

Dongfang Ce suddenly thought of the small village at the foot of the mountain, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately said: "Quick! Tell the brothers to be careful, they may be hiding in the village waiting for opportunities to act..."

Before he finished speaking, an officer and soldier rushed in quickly and said to Du Xuan in a hurry: "Master Baihu, it's not good! Bandits rushed out of the village, killed more than a dozen of our brothers, robbed the horses and ran away!"

Before he could finish speaking, people from the Haisha Gang and Perak Hall ran in to report that bandits were approaching disguised as common people, killing people, robbing horses, and running away!
boom!
Du Xuan was furious and punched the mountain wall, knocking down countless sand and stones. He said angrily: "Then why don't you chase after me!"

He rushed out quickly.

late……

Dongfang Ce sighed in his heart. With these horses scattered and fleeing to attract troops, he could only catch one or two, not even one or two - these 200 people were not ordinary Japanese pirates, they were Hosokawa envoys. As the bodyguards of the regiment, the head of the Hosokawa family is still waiting for them to escort the goods from the Central Plains back to Japan, and they are the main force in defending against pirates. Each of them is a warrior with inheritance, one in a hundred, and the elite among the elite.

When it comes to fighting alone, the government and army are no match at all. Only when the enemy's force is several times stronger can they stand a chance.

If it were so easy to catch, they wouldn't have been able to escape for so long...

The best way to solve the problem is to control the people in the village from the beginning. At that time, there were injuries in their team and they would use traps. Now that the best time has passed, I am afraid that even the remaining people have forced the people to take cover. , reduced to zero.

"Damn it! These thieves..."

Mi Hanquan was also very angry, but he had to admit that this group of people really had their wits about them.

After being forced to such a state, he was still able to win a glimmer of hope and escape from under their noses.Lei Yunting sighed deeply: "It's our fault. We only guarded Luoshang Mountain. We thought they would rely on firearms to defend to the death, but we didn't expect that they would hide in the village..."

Mi Hanquan looked embarrassed.

"It's not your fault."

Dongfang Ce comforted him: "It's normal for young people to be inexperienced. This kind of strategy of risking death and surviving later is not something that Hosokawa Kaede could come up with. It's probably the old immortal Kumazawa Ichiro.

This person is the mentor of the new generation of Japanese swordsman Aizhou Yixiangzhai. It will definitely not be easy to teach that monster.But this kind of thing can never happen again. They are now reduced to pieces, and the threat is greatly reduced. They are like grasshoppers after autumn and can only jump around for a few days. "

Lei Yunting and Mi Hanquan's expressions softened slightly.

Dongfang Ce said: "He just ran away. It's useless to think too much. Since Du Baihu chased them out, he might be able to catch one or two and force them to find out the meeting place... Let's put these aside for now. Now we need to find out why they were exposed. Who are you making trouble for yourself? There are no signs of fighting in this cave. Let’s first look for where the shells hit and whether anyone was injured.”

"Yes."

Luoshang Mountain is not big, so if hundreds of people spread the word, they would soon be rewarded.

When they reached the top of the mountain and saw the big hole in the ruins of Tiezhu Temple, they all fell silent.

Mi Hanquan opened his mouth wide and looked at Lei Yunting in great shock: "This, this is the Tang Sect's [Godly Artillery]?!"

"Do not."

Lei Yunting looked extremely solemn and said in a deep voice: "It's stronger than that!"

If it’s not a divine artillery piece, then what is it?Mi Hanquan was shocked.

Now it seems that the Japanese people did not make the move.

Things are more complicated!

Not long after, Zhang Yong, Shangguan Hong and Lei Hong, the deputy leader of Perak Hall, arrived after hearing the news. They all went to the top of the mountain and saw the charred pit, broken walls and giant trees.With such a powerful firearm and such a sharp sword move, everyone couldn't help but have different thoughts.

"I know this person."

Shangguan Hong carefully looked at the corpse next to the entrance to the secret room and said: "His name is Song Cheng, and he is Song Suchen's nephew. It seems that someone has attacked their uncle and nephew. The strange thing is that he can kill Song Cheng with one sword, and Yu Jin Shang was able to penetrate walls and cut trees, but he did not choose to get rid of Song Suchen quietly, but chose to use such a noisy firearm..."

Is it because you are not sure?

Then he probably didn't break through Tongyou. If that was the case, why did he dare to go up the mountain?Why can I go up the mountain?

There is also this underground secret room, those weird statues, the mechanism that opens on the top of the cave...

Dongfang Ce pondered: "The statues in the underground secret room are arranged like some kind of formation, which has the effect of enchanting people. The secret mechanism on the top of the cave is open, and there is nothing inside... Maybe this person just came to explore the secrets, He was bumped into by Song Suchen's uncle and nephew. It may even be that the uncle and nephew deliberately let him go up the mountain, waiting for an opportunity to kill him secretly, but they didn't expect to kick the iron plate.

In addition to Song Cheng's bloodstains, there is also a broken leg that was bloody and bloody outside the explosion crater. It may be Song Suchen's... From this, it can be inferred that this person understands mechanisms and formations, but does not know the level of martial arts. He is taller than Song Suchen, but his swordsmanship is superb, he can kill with one strike, and he is also proficient in firearms...On a single point, there are many people who fit the criteria, but so many of them fit..."

Ok?
As Dongfang Ce spoke, a candidate suddenly popped into his mind.

At noon today, Kong Konger wanted to "steal" the letter in his hand, but Dongfang Ce didn't bother to pay attention.

If he doesn't give it to him, no matter how good his Qing Gong is or how good his stealing skills are, Kong Kong'er will never be able to take it away!

Kong Konger himself knew this, but he wanted to know the content of the letter, which was related to his judgment of Xiao Jingxing.

Dongfang Ce refused to tell the contents of the letter and refused to give him the letter paper, and he couldn't get it. In order to get him to speak, he proposed an "exchange".

The reason why Dongfang Ce didn't say anything is easy to understand. It was simply because he was worried that he would be with the Japanese, or that his family's scandal would be exposed and be harmful to Xiao Jingxing. As long as he could prove that he had nothing to do with the Japanese pirates, knew the inside story, and knew Xiao Jingxing thoroughly, then it would be natural. There is no need to hide anything.

then.

Kong Konger gave him a piece of paper.

It was the one where Perak Hall Tuotianji Pavilion investigated Xiao Jingxing’s background.

Tang Tianrong originally showed this to him, and he accepted it after reading "Smoothly". Taking it out at this time also allowed Dongfang Ce to have a better understanding of the young man's strength.

He understands machine formations and can set up the "Nine Palaces and Thousand Machines Formation".

His realm is not high, but his swordsmanship is superb. He can kill with one strike and captured Mi Hanquan with two moves.

He is also proficient in firearms. He once killed two hundred White Tiger Gang gangsters with a continuous fire blunderbuss. This kind of continuous fire technique is not even available in the Tang Sect. It seems reasonable to create incredibly powerful gunpowder...

The answer is obvious.

"Brother Dongfang, have you guessed who this person is?"

Shangguan Hong saw something strange in his expression, and then asked: "Don't say half-hearted words, there are no outsiders here."

Dongfang Ce looked around. These people were all clearly enemies of the Japanese pirates, and they all knew roughly what Xiao Jingxing was capable of. Without his help, the three parties might have been killing each other. In this case, there was nothing worth hiding.

"If I'm not bad..."

Dongfang Ce slowly uttered a few words: "This person should be... the prime minister in white, Xiao Jingxing!"
