high official

Chapter 169

There is no doubt that Wang Xian's plan has failed, and the atmosphere is very heavy...

Seeing that they are about to catch up with each other, but they are led astray and lose their goal, which makes everyone feel annoyed.

Zhou Xin frowned tightly, standing on the top of the mountain and thinking for a long time, Fang asked Wang Xian behind him in a low voice: "What do you think is going on?"

"Obviously, they knew we were chasing after us, so they used Wei Wuque as a bait to lead us astray." Wang Xian responded, "They should have retreated in another direction."

"How do they know that Wei Wuque can be used as bait?" Zhou Xin asked in a deep voice.

Wang Xian shook his head, he also couldn't figure it out, because everything was hidden from Wei Wuque, and the "Thousand Miles of Chasing the Soul" in Wudang Mountain was also the most secret secret, and outsiders had never heard of it.Why can the other party know?
"Could it be that Xianyun was seriously injured and revealed the truth? That's why they spared his life?" Zhou Xin thought of a possibility.

"I don't know about the humble position." Wang Xian shook his head, he didn't want to speculate. "This matter can be investigated later, the most urgent thing is to make up for it."

"It has been patched." Zhou Xin said lightly: "I have sent a message to Uncle Tang to order the army to start searching the mountain!" He sighed and said, "God is not on our side. There is a killer trick, but unfortunately it can’t be used now.”

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, he could guess what Zhou Xin's trump card was - set fire to the mountain!
"The method of searching the mountains is too stupid." Zhou Xin sighed again: "The other party is in the dark, familiar with the terrain, and the number of people is small, so it is likely to get nothing." After a pause, he said bluntly: "In fact, such a big show The purpose of this is just to scare them back and prevent them from entering the wider mountain forest." Then asked: "Do you think they will be scared back?"

"It's possible." Wang Xian thought for a while and said, "I remember the adults in Taiwan said that when people are in extreme panic, they will go to the place they think is the safest."

"That's right. Murderers often hide in their relatives' homes. They don't expect officials to come to them soon." Zhou Xin nodded slowly and said, "You must let Uncle Tang search day and night, put all your strength on them, and force them back to the Pujiang River." !"

"What about us?" Wang Xian asked.

"Search carefully, we must have missed something!" Zhou Xin said in a deep voice.

So a group of masters who are proficient in tracking began to search inch by inch on the top of the mountain.Sure enough, a moment later, a policeman said pleasantly, "They're going here!"

Zhou Xin and Wang Xian hurried over. At first glance, there were no traces on the snow, but if you look carefully, you will find traces of snow swept with fur.Zhou Xin bent down, and with his right hand wearing a deerskin glove, gently brushed off the snow layer, revealing the grass under the snow, and saw the trampled weeds outline a clear footprint!

The arresters cheered, but Zhou Xin said calmly: "It is very likely that this is not the right owner."

"That's right, since it's a suspicious soldier, there's no need for the Lord to follow." Wang Xian nodded.

"Divide the troops." Zhou Xin said: "You take half of the people and hunt along this trail, and I will take the rest to turn back and see if there is anything missing along the way."

"Yes." Wang Xian replied.

.

The soldiers were divided into two groups, and the conversation was divided into two ends. Wang Xian led a team of arresters and followed the shallow traces on the ground. After walking two miles away, he saw clear footprints again.

The arresters cheered and followed the footprints for more than ten miles. When it was getting dark, they suddenly heard the sound of soldiers and horses in front of them, and someone shouted: "Where to run!"The excitement of finally finding something after days of hard searching made them happy when they heard the battle, they threw away their burdens and drew their weapons to meet them.

Wang Xian was also very excited, but after thinking about it, he decided not to cause trouble, so he and Ling Xiao climbed up to the side of the mountain ridge, and had a panoramic view of the fighting field... There were more than a hundred officers and soldiers in black battle jackets, standing in front of them. Chasing after several well-dressed men.Those men were not in a hurry, but the distance was getting farther and farther away. Later, under the cover of night, it would be no problem to escape.Unexpectedly, a team of policemen rushed out out of thin air, and each of them was very skilled, blocking their way firmly.

The officers and soldiers thought they would not be able to catch up, but when they saw reinforcements helping them, their morale was greatly boosted.The mood of the well-dressed men sank, but they turned a deaf ear to the officers and soldiers' shouts of "surrender without killing", and raised their spears to meet the enemy, intending to break out of the encirclement.But the officers and soldiers finally caught them, how could they let them escape?Without any buffer, the two sides fought fiercely!

Wang Xian and Ling Xiao looked down from a high place, and saw that the well-dressed men were trapped in a tight siege, and it was impossible to escape.However, they formed an formation and were not afraid of the enemy. Although they faced an enemy twenty times larger, they still did not lose the wind.Especially those who wield long spears, their marksmanship is extremely powerful and swift like snakes, every shot will stab an officer, and then they quickly withdraw their guns, and then stab again!It caused great damage to the officers and soldiers, blood spattered and screams could be heard endlessly.

"That person attacked us in the sky!" Ling Xiao stared at one of the spearmen, and suddenly called out.But she didn't rush to take revenge. Firstly, she had to protect Wang Xian. Secondly, these outnumbered warriors knew that they would not escape, but they were full of generosity to see death as home. Even the enemies couldn't help but respect them Respect.

Fighting until it was getting dark, the officers and soldiers on the periphery lit torches, illuminating the battle circle as bright as white ground. The eight well-dressed men in the circle were almost exhausted, and each of them was covered with paint. The long gun!However, the spearmen of the government army caught up, and countless spears stabbed at them from all directions. The men in strong clothes were surrounded tightly and had nowhere to move. Although they tried their best to block, some people were stabbed every time.

However, they didn't say a word, insisting on refusing to fall... Finally, someone was stabbed in the abdomen by three long spears at the same time, was picked up by the volley, and was thrown out of the battle ring heavily.The officers and soldiers were well-trained, and before it landed, they used long spears to resist it, and then tied it tightly.

A long spear was missing in the formation, and the time-space door opened wide, and before the remaining seven men had time to make up for it, another one was stabbed, picked up, thrown out, tied up, and did the same thing.

The remaining six people looked at each other with miserable smiles, and said in unison: "Brother, let's see you on Huangquan Road!" After finishing speaking, they broke up, raised their weapons, and rushed towards the officers and soldiers, like a mad tiger into a pack of wolves, the officers and soldiers immediately became chaotic and fought. It suddenly became dire.

Amidst the shadows of swords, guns and swords, and the flying blood, there is a tragic singing echoing:
"There is no difference between people's hearts. Ask Qu Nong: After all, how many times have you separated and reunited?"

He tried his best to pretend to be a man, but was pierced by a spear, and half of his head was cut off by a long knife.

"No one cares about the sweat and blood salt carts, thousands of miles away to harvest the bones, and the rivers and roads are cut off!"

Two well-dressed men were stabbed by more than a dozen spears, and they still sang loudly: "I pity Jun Zhongxiaowu the most. I said, 'A man is as determined as iron', try your hands and mend the sky!"

Two more people were cut down to the ground... Only the last one was left. Numerous spears were inserted into his body from all directions, and he was lifted up high. He shouted with the last of his strength, "Look at the test hand, mend the crack in the sky!"

The sound reached the sky and lasted for a long time. As the victors, the officers and soldiers could not feel joy, but all remained silent.

Wang Xian and Ling Xiao couldn't bear to watch it for a long time, but when they heard the tragic singing, they couldn't help but shed tears...

After a long time, the leader of the police came up to the mountain ridge and reported in a low voice: "A total of eight people, six were killed on the spot, and the other two... also bit their tongues and committed suicide."

Wang Xian had already guessed that this would be the result, and he didn't expect to get anything out of these people's mouths.

"How to deal with the dead bodies?" Wang Xian said the word "just men" in his heart. He had a very strong desire to "bury the loyal bones in the green hills, entrust the bodies to the same mountain" and bury these eight righteous men.He himself wondered why he had such an idea.

"There is an order in Taiwan, no matter whether it is dead or alive, it must be taken back." The head catcher replied in a low voice.

"Alas..." Wang Xian knew that he was expecting too much, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Treat the dead body kindly."

"Of course." The catcher nodded and said, "These are real men."

"En." Wang Xian listened, and for the first time carefully looked at the head catcher, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's your name?"

"Villain Zhou Yong." The head catcher hurriedly replied.

"Brother Zhou, you are right." Wang Xian nodded and said softly: "Everyone is their own master, life and death are determined. But such a man deserves our respect."

"The villain also thinks the same way." Zhou Butou nodded his head with a sense of a bosom friend. "My lord, these officers and soldiers belong to the yamen, and the leader is a hundred households. We are waiting for your lord to go down and talk to him."

"En." Wang Xian nodded, and followed him down the mountain ridge to a military general. He was of high rank, and the military general's status was higher than that of a civil servant, let alone a miscellaneous official like Wang Xian.So they waited for Wang Xian to salute him, and the hundred households said calmly: "Forget it. We have to take the corpse back, this is the rule on the battlefield."

Wang Xian glanced at Zhou Yong and thought to himself, no wonder you asked me to come down, it turned out that there was something wrong.Zhou Yong shrinks his neck apologetically.

"My lord, take a step to speak." Wang Xian turned around and said to the hundred households.

"Whispering." Baihu muttered, but followed his words.

The two came to a place with few people and whispered for a while, and after a while, the hundred households bowed their hands to Wang Xiangong and said: "Brother Xie for reminding, I will go back and ask for instructions, please wait here for a while." After finishing speaking, the hundred households ordered After a few words, he hurried away with a few of his subordinates, and the rest of them rested on the spot.

"My lord, please go ahead." Wang Xian smiled and ordered the arresters to rest where they were.

"I'm sorry, my lord." Zhou Yong came up and apologized in a low voice: "It's the norm, if you have any difficulties, you can go to your lord."

"Hehe, it's okay." Wang Xian shook his head and smiled.

"My lord, what did you tell him?" Zhou Yong wanted to get close to him, and asked again: "Why did you tell him to run away with a few words?"

"It's nothing, just tell him that these corpses are a big trouble, it's better to ask and make a decision." Wang Xian said lightly: "Uncle Tang is not stupid, he will never ask for such trouble."
