The city of Yancheng is extremely chaotic. Although the curfew has been entered at this time, many people in Jianghu costumes are still walking through the streets. I am afraid that there will be no peace tonight, and the curfew is destined to lose any meaning tonight.
Maybe it can be seen more clearly from a higher and further place. For example, from the top of the hill where Magistrate Linlang is located, he can clearly see some changes in Yancheng.
The dense crowd of people was constantly being mobilized, and it could be seen from the lights that these people were gathering towards the west gate. Soon he gave up the suspicion that had just arisen, and instead turned his head and rushed towards the west gate.
Said to the dwarf man beside him.
"How is your staff arrangement going?"
The dwarf man named Meng Zhen nodded with a serious expression and said: "Please rest assured, Lord Sheriff, I have already surrounded the outside of Yancheng. No matter what happens, I will not let that kid escape from here.
"
Linlang was particularly disgusted by the dwarf's self-confident manner. He was always cautious in doing things, and it was only when he faced Pengcheng's "drinking maniac" Xing Yezui that he really suffered some secret losses.
"How are your manpower arranged?"
Hearing Linlang ask this question again, the dwarf middle-aged man showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, hesitated and said: "The entire Yancheng has been completely surrounded, but my focus is also on the south and the
East side. I didn’t expect this guy to lurk out of the west gate.”
Linlang's whole face was tense, and his eyes were staring at the changes in Yancheng. Although he was very confident in his plan, he was not sure that everything would develop according to his guess. He had to make a decision here
Judgment, to determine whether the changes in Yancheng were really a result of his own plan, whether Xing Ye was drunkenly causing trouble, and to predict which direction Zuofeng would break out.
At this moment, in the alley where Ding Hao and others were captured, Xing Yezui looked impatient and said coldly: "You'd better tell me quickly, who is your brother?"
Where did he go? I hope you can understand that every move he makes now has fallen into Linlang's trap. If you still want to see Zuo Feng alive, tell me his plan immediately."
None of the three people with their hands tied upside down said anything. Zuo Hou looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He curled his mouth and turned his head to the side. It was obvious that he did not trust Xing Yezui that much. Qin
Xiao had some concerns in her heart, but she also did not speak. Only Ding Hao's eyes flickered, as if he was struggling painfully in his heart.
If his master threatens life and death, or talks about loyalty, filial piety and justice, with his surly character, he won't listen to even a word of it. Xing Yezui also knows him very well, so he doesn't mention a word of those nonsense, but
When he came up, he helped him analyze the fact that he had fallen into a trap, and then completely left the decision-making power to his apprentice.
Ding Hao's eyes flashed and he hesitated for a long time before he uttered the two words "North" with difficulty. Xing Yezui was not surprised at all when he heard these two words. Instead, he showed a trace of ridicule and replied coldly to him.
"Being smart".
The words Xing Yezui were not without purpose. Zuo Feng chose to break through the west gate because he wanted to exceed everyone's expectations. The east gate was the best choice for him to leave, followed by the south gate. The north gate and the west gate were the least suitable choices.
There are two places, but Zuo Feng chose Ximen.
After the incident was revealed, he also made a plan in advance. Of course, this plan was also discussed in advance by several people. Since Ximen has exceeded everyone's expectations, heading north is even more incomprehensible.
From Yancheng, you can go to the Xuanwu Empire to the east, to the Fengtian Dynasty and the Ancient Wasteland Empire to the south, to the west to the direction of Dongjun City and Li City, and to the north is the location of Pengcheng and the Spin Tower.
But there is another point. Leaving Yancheng and heading north means going deep into the hinterland of the Ye Lin Empire. This is obviously not a wise choice for Zuo Feng who wants to leave Ye Lin.
But this kind of escape plan is really not very clever. Once you understand Zuo Feng's idea of leaving through Ximen, it is not difficult to guess his further plans. And Xing is not the only one who has the same idea.
Drunk at night, Linlang, who was ambushing outside the city, was thinking the same thing.
He turned back and glanced coldly at the two people behind him, then turned his attention to Yancheng again and said: "Each group only needs to leave two or three people to control the original surveillance range. Pull out the other ambush people and quickly move toward
Gather in the west and north directions."
As soon as this order was uttered, the two golden-armored warriors immediately looked at each other with puzzled faces. One of the golden-armored warriors hesitated for a moment, then bravely said: "Master Sheriff, if that person chooses to follow him,
If the position is escaped and we transfer all the manpower, wouldn't it make us very passive? How about..."
"Humph, you know nothing."
Linlang, who was dressed in a green shirt, turned around and scolded coldly, but did not have the time to explain any more. The dwarf Meng Zhen, who was standing next to Linlang, rolled his eyes as if he was thinking about someone. Suddenly, there was a look in his eyes.
He showed a hint of surprise and said "hehe" to the two golden-armored warriors with a smile.
"Do you know why we are so anxious to catch that boy?"
The golden-armored warrior replied without hesitation: "Because the ten elders, An Xiong and Xing Yezui are also staring at the young man."
Meng Zhen nodded and said: "So this operation to arrest the boy is very likely to encounter those people in Yancheng. Those mobilized manpower are not used to deal with the young man. One of them is injured.
No matter how good a young man is, if he encounters two or three warriors of the same level, he will definitely be able to capture him."
Linlang didn't speak, which also showed that what Meng Zhen said was exactly what he was thinking. After Meng Zhen finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Linlang and saw that Linlang's expression softened slightly, and he immediately felt confident to attack the person next to him.
A masked man said: "The order was passed. According to the instructions of the county governor, except for two people who stayed at each observation position, everyone else followed to assemble to the west and north of Yancheng."
Orders were issued one after another on the hilltop outside Yancheng, and the same scene also appeared inside Yancheng. Xing Yezui and Lu Yun also issued several orders, and groups of warriors gathered into a huge team inside Yancheng.
, and then quickly rushed out from the west gate.
On the plain outside Yancheng, Zuo Feng's thin figure was almost lying on the ground. He had already noticed the smell of conspiracy floating in the air, and it was just his feeling that made him give up his plan to go north.
But the feeling he felt from the south wasn't that strong either.
At this moment, a deep sound suddenly came from the west gate of Yancheng, more than two miles behind him, and the entire city gate began to slowly open. It was already the curfew time in Yancheng. Such a situation could occur.
, which means that the other party not only knew that he had slipped out of Ximen, but also seemed to be sending out a large number of people to catch him.
What made Zuo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief was that the countless figures and torches rushing out of the city gate were neatly divided into two teams. One team went north, and the other team rushed straight to the west. It seemed that they were going to
This large area is surrounded by it.
If Zuo Feng had not changed his original plan and headed north after leaving Yancheng, he would have been surrounded by these people. Just when Zuo Feng was about to lower his body and leave here as soon as possible, the edge of the plain also
Suddenly, countless torches lit up, and countless figures appeared in the dense forest.
Zuo Feng's heart tightened when he saw this scene. He finally guessed the reason why he was exposed in Yancheng. These people waiting in the dense forest had obviously been arranged here a long time ago, with the purpose of waiting and waiting for him to leave in a hurry.
The city's rear immediately fell into their ambush.
Countless torches were shining in the dense forest. Although the specific number of people in the dense forest could not be seen, it could be judged that there were many more people than those coming out of Yancheng. These people rushed out of the dense forest and came from the edge of the plain.
They were surrounded in the direction of Yancheng. Like the Yancheng group, they were also divided into two groups: the west and the north.
The group of people coming out of Yancheng were a little surprised by the appearance of these people in the dense forest. The team's actions were suspended for a while. However, someone in the team immediately shouted an order, and then the team moved forward again, with both sides looking like
In a general fan shape, the two wings move quickly first, and then the middle follows up.
Both groups were rushing forward quickly, and within a quarter of an hour the teams came into contact. The first people the team came into contact with were the two wings, and the teams behind were still slowly advancing here. These people would carefully search the places they passed.
.
Suddenly, chaos appeared on the west side of Yancheng. Through the firelight, it could be seen that there seemed to be friction between the two teams there, and one could even vaguely see someone injured and falling to the ground.
The few people standing on the city wall immediately looked over there with solemn expressions, and Linlang's expression in the dense forest was also extremely ugly. The moment Xing Yezui on the city wall saw the chaos, he couldn't help but turn away from An Xiong beside him.
.The team over there were people sent by his city lord's palace. He subconsciously thought that Anxiong was secretly up to something, but he didn't say a word.
Both parties know that once friction occurs here, it will not be of any benefit to either party and will only bring better conditions for Zuo Feng's escape. Xing Yezui believes that before finding any trace of Zuo Feng, Linlang should also
He will restrain his subordinates and avoid any friction with their group.
In this dark night, people on both sides are already very nervous. Once a battle breaks out, it will immediately affect the entire area. This kind of battle will escalate immediately, and even make these people forget the orders they received when they left the city.
"It seems that we have to go and take a look, otherwise this battle will get out of hand and it will be difficult for us to explain to the empire." Although everyone has guessed that those people are led by Xing Yezui, after all, these people still belong to Ye Lin
Of the empire, what was lost in the end was Dongjun’s strength.
After Xing Yezui finished speaking, he glanced back at the tenth elder who had been silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. After a slight hesitation, the tenth elder said: "Call the flying monster, everyone.
