Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 313 Hang up
Two breaths ago, the moment Zhang Xiong, Bai Xiaomao and the other six started their actions, Zhang Jiye had already joined the frightened running crowd. When passing by a clothing store, someone had already prepared a suit of clothes for him. , helped him change his outfit quickly, and cleaned up his face. When he came out from the back door of the tailor shop and came to an alley, he had changed from a dark-complexioned old farmer to a fair-complexioned, somewhat Wealthy veterans.However, although he has changed his appearance, in the eyes of Hai Dongqing in the sky, his size has not changed, and he is still the human being he is following.

In the alley, a carriage driven by a young groom was already waiting here.Without saying a word, Zhang Jiye got into the carriage, and the groom also remained silent, driving the carriage to the alley.

The moment the carriage moved past, a figure suddenly shot out from the roof next to it like an arrow, turned over in the air, and gently put one hand on the horizontal frame behind the carriage, hanging on it like a leaf. .

The chariots and horses left the alley in a blink of an eye, and outside the alley was the edge of the town. After walking forward for more than 100 steps, they drove into a small road facing southeast.

This figure is naturally Lian Jicheng, the assassination chief of the Department of Operations of the Huaxia Weifu.

Qi Bian, Bai Xiaomao, Zhang Xiong, Ding Yingcai, Yue Zhengye, and Hei Wa just killed four of the old man's six attendants and captured two alive.Amidst the rumbling sound, Ye Chen, Xu Fangyi and Hu Sanguang entered Luguan Town with a hundred black cavalry.

The six people looked ugly and knelt down on one knee to salute Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked up at Hai Dongqing who suddenly turned around in the sky, and soon flew out of Luguan Town, heading southeast.While listening to the white kitten's shameful narration of what happened just now.

Ye Chen glanced at the old man who had been given wound medicine and had undergone a simple bandage treatment, but he had obviously exhaled more and inhaled less, and his two followers, and said, "Xu Fangyi stays here and takes twenty black cavalry to take them out." Bring it back alive."

Xu Fangyi hurriedly said yes respectfully.

Ye Chen glanced at the direction where Costin turned abruptly from the main street before, pointed to the six shops in that direction, and said to Xu Fangyi: "Control these six shops and don't let anyone inside leave. The six of you follow I'm going."

Xu Fangyi and the six killers hurriedly said yes respectfully.Then Xu Fangyi waved his hand, and six beggars emerged out of nowhere, led out six horses and handed them over to six killers.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen led Hu Sanguang and six killers to catch up in the southeast direction where Hai Dongqing was leaving, followed by the leader of the black cavalry, Hei Yue, and a hundred black cavalry.

The horses and chariots were rushing forward, and the cold wind hit our faces.

Lian Jicheng hung lightly on the back of the carriage, he was very satisfied that he was not fooled and that he did not lose Zhang Jiye.He has already heard from Bai Canghai that one of the assassination subordinates will be independently promoted to the assassination department. As long as he does things well this time, it is very likely that he will be promoted from the sixth-rank department envoy to the fifth-rank assassination department in one fell swoop. This means a huge increase in power, status and wealth.

Therefore, even though he knew that he was following alone, before the commander-in-chief led people to catch up, if he encountered Shangguan Bingyun, he might not be an opponent, and if he was not careful, he might die on the spot, but he followed bravely.

Ye Chen led the people to keep a distance from Zhang Jiye, naturally because he was worried that he would scare away Shangguan Bingyun who might come to meet him.

The carriage left Luguan Town, and hurried to the southeast for more than five miles. This small road was sparsely populated, and we didn't meet a single person along the way.

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, Lian Jicheng was startled, and slid from the back of the carriage to the bottom of the carriage like a snake.Immediately afterwards, he heard the groom get off the carriage, and he could vaguely judge from his shadow that the groom lay prone on the ground with his ears pressed to the ground and listened intently for a moment, then got up and said, "Old man, someone is chasing up from behind, get out of the carriage, turn over After passing through this forest, Shangguan Xiaoming Wang will meet there, and I will use an empty carriage to drive away the pursuers."

Lian Jicheng's heart shuddered when he heard the words, thinking that this groom is not simple.

Zhang Jiye got out of the carriage as he said, thanked him, and rushed into the woods on the right side, while the groom drove the carriage to the left front path and continued to gallop away.

Lian Jicheng didn't dare to leave the carriage immediately, fearing that Zhang Jiye would see him. He didn't land on the ground lightly until the carriage moved forward about [-] steps and turned a corner. in the woods.

After dozens of breaths, Ye Chen and others stopped by the woods where Hai Dongqing turned. Hu Sanguang dismounted and looked at the car marks on the ground, and said, "It seems that Zhang Jiye got off his horse here, and the carriage continued to move forward." gone."

Qi Bian, Zhang Xiong, Ding Yingcai, Bai Xiaomao, Yue Zhengye, and Heiwa all looked up at the black dot in the sky at this time, feeling a little shocked in their hearts, thinking that the chief envoy really has great powers.

At this time, they all knew how the Chief Commander was able to follow Zhang Jiye without getting lost, and they also understood that the loss of their hands before the others might have been expected by the Chief Commander.

Ye Chen nodded to Hu Sanguang, and said to the left and right: "Go and chase the carriage with all your strength, remember to live."

The white kitten and Yue Zhengye were the first to react, and Yu Ma followed the path at full speed to catch up.It was Ye Chen who slowed down on purpose just now, otherwise he would have caught up with the carriage long ago. At this time, the white kitten and Yue Zhengye were chasing at full speed, and without accident, they would catch up with the carriage soon.

Ye Chen glanced at the dense forest, frowned slightly, and said, "Black Moon! You lead the black cavalry from outside the forest to the direction of Haidongqing, and the others follow me into the forest."

Hei Yue respectfully said yes, and then led a hundred black cavalry along the outskirts of the woods, galloping towards the position below where Hai Dongqing was.

Ye Chen led Hu Sanguang, Qi Bian, Zhang Xiong, Ding Yingcai, and Hei Wa to get off their horses and escape into the woods.The six of them tried their best to keep their footsteps as silent as possible and reduce their movements so as not to disturb the small beasts and birds in the forest, thereby exposing themselves.

Not long after entering the forest, Ye Chen twitched his nose and smiled slightly.It was the first time that Costin was asked to follow someone, but I didn't know how effective it would be. Naturally, two preparations were needed.

He asked Zeng Shangfei to put a medicinal powder prepared by Yu Qingyan in the cracks of the shoes that Zeng Shangfei prepared for Zhang Jiye. Not, but Ye Chen can smell it.

As a result, as expected, although Zhang Jiye changed his clothes, he did not change his shoes.Even without Hai Dongqing at this time, he would not lose Zhang Jiye.

Ye Chen stood quietly on the slightly damp forest floor, separated by many trees, raised his head and squinted his eyes and looked ahead, calculating the distance to Zhang Jiye.

He clenched his right hand, raised it up and waved it left and right. The five people including Hu Sanguang and Zhang Xiong who came behind him through the wind immediately understood the meaning of the commander-in-chief. Keep a distance of four or five feet between them.

Ye Chen guessed that Zhang Jiye probably knew that someone was chasing him behind him at this time, but the old eunuch obviously did not forget the escape skills he should have when he was in the rivers and lakes because of his life in the palace for more than 20 years. , quietly fled to the southwest of the woods.

Ye Chen knew that there must be someone who would support Zhang Jiye in that place.He only hoped that the person who responded was Shangguan Bingyun.Otherwise, after spending so much effort and manpower, if someone else came, even if his martial arts were stronger than Shangguan Bingyun's, he would be disappointed.Compared with Shangguan Bingyun's force, he was more afraid of Shangguan Bingyun's endless plots and schemes.He thought of the old man who was beaten to death by Bai Xiaomao and six other people in Luguan Town, and felt a little bad in his heart.

Ye Chen sighed slightly, temporarily put the matter behind him, and then ran forward, the strong true energy in his body gradually began to circulate, his feet were separated from the slightly wet mud, and occasionally he would stop, Carefully inspecting the surroundings, the stable footprints left by his eyes on the mud were compared with the faint smell he smelled and the position of Haidongqing in the sky.

After Ye Chen killed Chen Jingyuan in the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty, besides the black gourd, he also found some things from Chen Jingyuan, including a martial arts secret book called "Tianyi Xinfa".He didn't practice the exercises in it lightly, but there was a body formula recorded in it. He practiced it these days when he had nothing to do, and he has already achieved a small success these days.Although his body skills are still not as good as Shangguan Bingyun, Yu Daoxiang and the others, they have improved too much.

In the dense woods, the hunter and the bait are in front of each other, but no one knows when the roles of the two sides will be reversed.For Zhang Jiye, he had to escape and join the people who came to meet him.For Ye Chen, he must grasp the opportunity created by himself this time.

Gradually, Ye Chen's eyes became brighter, and the scent left by Zhang Jiye became more and more obvious, indicating that he was getting closer and closer to the other party. Ye Chen made a gesture to make the five people pay more attention not to make any noise, and pay attention to hiding their bodies. .

Coming to the edge of a dwarf fir forest, Ye Chen frowned slightly, his eyes swept around, his nose twitched, and he glanced at the black spot almost directly above him, knowing in his heart that he was very close to the other party.At this time they need to be more cautious, otherwise Shangguan Bingyun's movement skills, if he can't get close to a certain distance, but let the opponent escape in advance, it will be difficult to catch up with the opponent.

Ye Chen didn't dare to be careless, he backed away slowly, made a little judgment, made a big circle, and inserted in from the side of the dwarf fir forest.

Suddenly there was a very shrill whistle in the tree, and a thin rope, the same color as the fallen leaves on the ground, bounced from the shallow grass under the forest, and grabbed a person's ankle - it was five feet away from Ye Chen's left. Ding Yingcai, Ding Yingcai was still in the air, his body had bounced up extremely powerfully, with a twist of his right hand, the scimitar in his hand had already cut the string.

Ding Yingcai fell forward following the sway of the rope, and was about to step on flat ground.

A crossbow arrow flew over from nowhere, and he was so startled that he lifted the scimitar, knocked the crossbow arrow into the air with a bang, and his whole body struggled backwards, taking half a step back from where it expected to land.As soon as he loosened his toes, he realized that there was a pit in front of him, and there was a simple trap made of more than a dozen sharpened bamboos in the pit!
