"After that, I visited several shopkeepers who had done business with us before and tried to ask. Now I am very sure that the progress of the Maritime Safety Administration in searching for gold mines is extremely slow. The most likely possibility is that no veins have been found at all.

At most, it is confirmed that there are gold mines in that mountainous area."

To be honest, Liu Yifeng's words did not convince Song Xiance. He felt that Liu Yifeng's judgment was unfounded, but Liu Yifeng showed such confidence that he was half-convinced. Moreover, Liu Yifeng was the leader of the team, so he decided to join the Maritime Safety Administration.

, positioning myself as a counselor, I can only help him figure out how to take refuge and all the details of taking refuge.

After persuading him, Liu Yifeng had already made his decision, so he should not continue persuading him.

"Obai, in the next few days, you will sort out all the gold. I will go to Li Hongji and the others first. When I come back, I will bring people from the Maritime Safety Administration with me. You should take care of those civilians and don't let them go.

They've done something wrong again."

"Yes!" Oboi asked: "Master, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes. Song Xiance, you also stay here and wait for me for a few days."

After the two agreed, they exited Liu Yifeng's room.

The night soon deepened, and except for a few torches on duty at night, the entire camp quickly fell into silence. But it was not like this outside the camp. A figure appeared on the edge of the woods outside the camp, and then made a bird call,

Then three figures suddenly jumped down from the tree.

After the four people met, one of them turned his head to look at the camp and took the other three people into hiding in the woods.

Half an hour later, the four people walked out of the woods and met up with their large army in a river valley.

"How are you? Are you sure he is the person we are looking for?"

"Master Xia, it's them, and I saw that bastard!"

"Zhang San, are you sure?"

"Sure, I know him even if he turns into ashes!"

Zhang San, also known as Zhang Xianzhong, was telling the truth. He did see clearly that it was Liu Yifeng. More importantly, he saw clearly the person next to Liu Yifeng, his former military advisor: Song Xiance!

This guy is not dead yet and has taken refuge with Liu Yifeng. This makes him very surprised and worried, because it means that his identity as Zhang Xianzhong may be exposed!

We must find a way to kill Song Xiance.

While thinking this, Zhang Xianzhong carefully handed a metal cylinder to Xia Jie. It was with the help of the telescope that he was able to identify Liu Yifeng and Song Xiance.

Then, he told Xia Jie what happened tonight.

"In other words, they have almost 10 firecrackers?"

"Yes, Master Xia."

Xia Jie suddenly felt that it was very difficult. The fire gunners assigned to him by Zhang Yizhi were not here. They were still at the base camp at the foot of the mountain. Even if he called people to find them now, it would be the day after tomorrow when they came.

"Then don't act rashly first, go and rest."

After sending Zhang Xianzhong away, Xia Jie called his confidants, made an explanation and watched him and another person riding away with torches.

The next day, Liu Yifeng left the camp with Jin Quanzhi, but he did not notice that he was being followed.

"Zhang San, Master Xia asked us to monitor the camp!"

"That person is the person that Mr. Xia wants to investigate. Brothers, listen to me. If we catch him and bring him to Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia will only reward us!"

It's a pity that the people who followed Zhang Xianzhong to monitor the camp were not his subordinates. They were not even Xia Jie's subordinates, but explorers hired by Xia Jie. Their principle is to use money to do things, and Xia Jie hired them to protect himself.

It's something they don't want to do.

Zhang Xianzhong could only persuade him hard, but only two people were willing to work with him to intercept Liu Yifeng.

There was no other way, so Zhang Xianzhong could only lead the two of them out of the area where they were supposed to be on duty and pursue Liu Yifeng.

When Xia Jie found out about this, he scolded Zhang Xianzhong for making his own decisions, but he did not ask anyone to bring Zhang Xianzhong back. If it was really the Zhang Jun he had been looking for, the three-on-one problem would not be a big deal, and it would be best if he could bring him back.

, it doesn’t matter if he can’t bring it back. What he wants is the method and location of Liu Yifeng’s gold mining. Now that he has found it, he just waits for the 50 gunmen from down the mountain to rush over and directly occupy half of the camp.

Liu Yifeng did not ride a horse. He was in a mountainous area. There were no conditions for horses to pass here. He and Jin Quanzhi were also familiar with the roads. If they walked, they would be able to reach Li Hongji's camp at noon tomorrow.

"Big boss, I feel something is wrong!"

Liu Yifeng looked back at Jin Quanzhi, who had been a little confused before: "Is there a wild beast?"

"I don't know either, but I always feel like something is watching us!"

Liu Yifeng looked at the familiar mountain road, and after thinking about it, he took out the blunderbuss and started to load it. Upon seeing this, Jin Quanzhi pulled out his knife and walked into the woods beside the mountain road. He wanted to see what kind of beast it was, and prepared

Scared it to leave, but heard a voice: "Do it!"

Two figures rushed out of the woods. Fortunately, Jin Quan was on guard against the beast. Although he was taken aback, he quickly separated one of them from slashing.

"boom!"

The sound of a gun sounded, and the second person chasing Jin Quanzhi fell down. Just as Liu Yifeng was about to reload, another person attacked from his side. This person was Zhang Xianzhong who immediately stepped back after shouting "do it".

He very cunningly let the two people he deceived come forward first, just to lure Liu Yifeng's fire blunderbuss to shoot them. After seeing that Liu Yifeng had already shot, he rushed out.

"It's you!"

"Go to hell!"

Liu Yifeng used his precious spring gun to block Zhang Xianzhong's inevitable blow. The flying spring fragments scratched their faces at the same time, but no one cared. Between life and death, these small wounds could not be ignored.

When the first blow failed, Zhang Xianzhong immediately slashed with the second knife. Liu Yifeng, who had no time to draw his weapon, could only continue to use the firecracker to intercept. This time, the firecracker was completely broken, but it also bought him time. He destroyed the damaged weapon.

He threw his firecracker at Zhang Xianzhong and took advantage of the second when the other party subconsciously dodged to draw his own weapon.

The Yanling knife was raised from bottom to top, just in line with Zhang Xianzhong's chop. The metal sound of the sword made people's teeth hurt, but what Liu Yifeng felt was the pain of Hukou and the huge force of almost losing his hand. He followed the instructions

As taught by Li Hongji, at the moment when the knife is confirmed, the right forearm is pressed against the back of the knife, and the foot is immediately taken a step forward, using the kinetic energy of the forward thrust to push Zhang Xianzhong away.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't expect Liu Yifeng to be quite capable of hitting him. He was the one who struck the blow just now. In terms of the force, Liu Yifeng must have suffered more. However, Liu Yifeng used his body to push him away, which of course gave him no advantage in sneak attack. He was attacked by Liu Yifeng.

After pushing away, he did not attack rashly again, because Liu Yifeng had already taken a stance, and now the two of them were equal.

"Zhang Xianzhong, you are not dead yet!"

"Song Xiance, that traitor, really told you everything."

"It's useless to talk. You killed my man, and I want to avenge him!"

As soon as Liu Yifeng finished speaking, his feet moved. In close combat, it would not be wrong to pay a certain amount of attention to the enemy's feet. Most attacks start with the feet moving first. Zhang Xianzhong's battle

With a lot of experience, Liu Yifeng took a step ahead almost at the moment when he stepped forward. Both of them lost the best distance for striking the knife. This time, both sides of the sword fight were very awkward, and they could only react angrily.

Push the other person away.

Liu Yifeng was unyielding when he gained the upper hand, and he took the initiative to attack again, but this time he learned to be smart, instead of using easily blocked slashes, he directly thrust.

Zhang Xianzhong took a blocking posture, but the moment he actually blocked Liu Yifeng's thrust, he realized that he had been fooled, because the thrust was weak and Liu Yifeng did not use his full strength.

Sure enough, after being blocked, Liu Yifeng took advantage of the situation and changed his moves. The Yanling Saber made a beautiful semicircle from top to bottom and slashed horizontally towards Zhang Xianzhong's waist.

Zhang Xianzhong could only jump back to dodge, and the initiative returned to Liu Yifeng's hands this time. He had the advantage and did not spare anyone. He continuously approached and attacked, making Zhang Xianzhong's block extremely painful.

However, he was not without coping methods. After trying to block another attack from Liu Yifeng, he deliberately looked behind Liu Yifeng, with an expression of surprise on his face, and shouted: "Kill him!"

Liu Yifeng's back felt cold. His first reaction was that Zhang Xianzhong's men had eliminated Jin Quanzhi and were coming to kill him. He resisted the urge to look back, rolled sideways and stood up, assuming a defensive posture, looking at the empty space.

Only later did I realize that I had been deceived.
