Raising the Sword Into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 120 - The moon is shining brightly
Hu Bao rode his horse all the way and got close to Xiaolou Peak in half an hour. He saw that the village gate was already in sight, but he heard someone calling him on the road. He looked back and saw that it was Liu and Fei.
It turned out that after their first meeting, Liu Piaopiao buried the Mo Zhe Ling under the Xiaolou Peak in order to prevent things from changing.
Seeing that the interception was approaching, just in case, Liu Piaopiao and Fei Wei discussed it and decided to take the order of Mo Zhe with them. If the two groups of Chi Qianbian and Chi Tianya did not obey the order, they could use this order.
Blackmail.
The two of them were going to hide the ink, and happened to see the tiger and leopard riding towards Xiaolou Peak. Seeing his panic, he must have something important to tell Chi Qianren, Liu, and Fei. They looked at each other, and then Liu Piao
Piao opened his mouth and called out to Hu Bao.
Seeing that he was his employer, Hu Bao got off his horse to greet him. He remembered that Liu Piaopiao had entrusted him to take care of the crazy people in Lingzhou City. Although he didn't know what the relationship between that person and his employer was, Liu Yi was arrested by the Chief Protector.
The news in the prison was told truthfully, and then he even smiled flatteringly and said, "Brother Liu, Brother Fei is so excited. Are you out to admire the moon this late at night?"
"The two of us came out to eat, what big thing happened to Master Hu in such a hurry?" Liu Piaopiao asked Hu Bao with squinted eyes. When she heard that her son was taken to the Lingzhou Protectorate Division, her face turned red.
Pretending to be nonchalant, Liu Piaopiao was a little anxious, but the current situation could no longer control Liu Yi, so he wanted to wait until now and return to Lingzhou to rescue Liu Yi. But Liu Piaopiao didn't know that Liu Yi had already
He was killed by Zhang Chongzhi, and his body was dumped outside the mass grave outside Lingzhou City. It had long since become the food of a wolf.
When the employer spoke, Hu Bao was naturally unprepared and immediately said: "To be honest with you two, I have a special person in Lingzhou City to collect clues to find the person. He found out the news that the person you want to kill did not know where he got it.
The news of killing him..."
"Is this true?" Liu and Fei were shocked when they heard this, and Liu Piaopiao looked solemn and spoke eagerly.
Seeing that the two of them were in such a panic, Hu Bao said that he was worried that the interception and killing would not be successful, so he immediately said: "Brothers, don't panic. I have received news that the man has colluded with the government and divided into two groups. The next one will be tomorrow."
Then he will leave the city and go to our ambush, but this road is just a disguise, and the real owner will look at the southwest path."
"Is the information from Master Hu Village accurate?" Liu Piaopiao looked at Hu Baopiao, his dark eyes looking around him seemingly unintentionally.
Hu Bao was afraid that the two financial backers would not believe him, so he immediately patted his chest and promised: "I swear on my life that the information I have found out is absolutely true. If there are any lies, I will be struck by lightning."
"So, that person will leave Lingzhou City tomorrow? And he will let the officers and soldiers pretending to be him walk on the main road, while he will take the small road by himself?" Liu Piaopiao confirmed again.
Without waiting for Hu Bao to speak, he asked again: "Where is the path mentioned in your message?"
"That's true. That path is in a valley about twenty miles southwest of here. I have to report it to the ruler immediately, so I'll take my leave." After Hu Bao finished speaking, he got on his horse and headed towards Yuling Village.
He went in the same direction, but he didn't see Liu Piaopiao giving Fei Wei a stern look and lightly gesturing on his neck with his fingers.
As soon as his legs were clamped in the stirrups, Hu Bao was about to set off. At this moment, he suddenly felt the sound of a sharp object breaking through the air behind him. The general turned around to check, and felt a chill in his throat, and then he felt a slight soreness and numbness in his throat.
Looking down, he saw blood spewing out from his neck.
Hu Bao couldn't figure out why these two people would attack him since they were the ones who paid to hire the Chichiren to kill people. He wanted to cry out for help, but all he could make was a muffled sound of "Gurgling" from his throat.
Hu Bao, who fell from his horse, tightly covered the wound in his throat with one hand and struggled to crawl forward with the other hand, because the gate of Yuling Village was already in sight.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Hu Bao dug his fingers deeply into the soil, trying to support his body and move forward, but in the end he still couldn't move any further.
Using his last bit of strength, Hu Bao raised his hand and stretched out towards the brightly lit cottage. He exerted all his strength with his fingers, as if trying to grab the life-saving light. After a moment, the hand fell down weakly, leaving only ten feet behind him.
A lot of blood.
Liu Piaopian sneered at the corner of her mouth, leaned down, sighed Hu Bao's breath with her hand, and then checked the pulse of Hu Bao's neck to confirm that Hu Bao was dead, and then stood up with a smile.
Although Fei Wei acted according to Liu Piaopiao's look and killed Hu Bao, he still had some doubts in his heart as to why Liu Piaopiao did this.
"Brother Fei, think about it, if Chi Qianren learns about this, will he still be here waiting for Wan Jun pretending to lead people to encircle and suppress him?" Liu Piaopiao looked at Hu Bao's face on the ground.
The corpse spoke coldly.
"But if he is dead, the news cannot reach Chi Qianren. How can Chi Qianren send people to intercept Wan Jun." Fei Wei said anxiously, blaming Liu Piaopiao for acting impulsively.
"Think about it, Wanjun sent people to pretend to be in order to kill all the people he intercepted. He would concentrate all his people on this road, just in time for Chi Qianren to fight them. He took a small road, and all the people he led were
Not much. With the martial arts skills of you and me, if we want to kill him, it would be better if we just turn around and reap the benefits." Liu Piaopiao has indeed been working hard in the world for many years.
Just now when Hu Bao was speaking, he had already thought of this plan.
After hearing Liu Piaopiao's words, Fei Wei's frown immediately relaxed, as if he had seen the moment when he was promoted to the elder of Qingcang Pavilion. A smile immediately climbed onto his ugly face, and he just heard him say with a smile:
"Brother Liu is very calculating. It is best for the two of us to take the credit alone."
"Okay, you and I will quickly bury the body of the bandit. Then we will go up the mountain and pretend that nothing happened. Early tomorrow morning, we will set off to the southwest valley and wait for Wan Jun to arrive." Wan Jun looked at him.
The blood on the ground waved to Fei Wei.
The two quickly buried Hu Bao's body, covered up the blood stains on the ground with snow, and then headed towards Hutou Village.
Not long after the two left this place, a black figure walked out from behind a tree not far away. Watching the two figures disappear into the night, he immediately ducked and headed towards the foot of Xiaolou Peak.
At the same time, the Chi Qianren in Yuling Village was tossing and turning. Although the interception and killing arrangements had been made, his heart was pounding today and he really couldn't sleep. He put on his clothes and stood up, walking outside the door.
Then I saw Liu and Fei returning.
Chi Qianren narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Brother Liu, Brother Fei, it's really rare for you two to be in such high spirits at such a late hour."
Liu and Fei hurriedly returned the gift and exchanged greetings with Chi Qianren. Chi Qianren chatted with them for a few words, but seeing that they were absent-minded and not interested, they said no more.
Watching Liu and Fei leave, Chi Qianren felt increasingly uneasy. He could only force himself to calm down, walked to Yuling Village, looked in the direction of Lingzhou, and fell into deep thought.
He clapped his hands gently, heard the sound of clothes being folded, and a man appeared from the darkness, kneeling on one knee in front of Shakuchen Ren.
"Go and keep an eye on Liu and Fei." Chi Qianren said, staring at the backs of the two as they hurriedly left.
The man did not speak, but bowed his head in salute, and then his figure disappeared into the darkness.
——
The moonlight was like silver, Gu Xiao and Xue Hu rushed non-stop, and finally arrived at the foot of Lingzhou City. When they looked up, they saw Wanjun's guard commander Yan Bin standing on the Lingzhou City Tower, waiting for him. Gu
When Xiao and Xue Hu arrived at the city gate, the gate of Lingzhou City slowly opened, and it was Yan Bin who welcomed them.
Yan Bin looked at Xue Hu behind Gu Xiao and couldn't help but admire him. He looked so much like General Wan. He had been General Wan's guard for several months. If he hadn't looked carefully, he would have almost admitted his mistake.
After looking back and forth around Xue Hu many times, Yan Bin said to Gu Xiao: "Mu Shaoxia is really good at it. Even if you look at him from a distance, you won't be able to recognize someone you don't know well even if you are close."
Gu Xiao smiled and said to Yan Bin: "Master Yan is so complimentary. This is not my work, but the work of a good friend of mine."
Yan Bin looked up at the sky, calculated the time, and then said: "Master Wan is still waiting for our news, let's go back to Si Zhong as soon as possible." Gu Xiao nodded in agreement, took Xue Hu and rushed there with Yan Bin
Chief Protector.
Wan Jun felt that he had really been tricked by Gu Xiao. He was held down by this freckled girl holding scissors on his seat. He saw the girl's scissors clicking on his beard. Lord Wan, the commander-in-chief of the North, and
The long beard I had grown for many years was gone.
When the girl came to him with a bronze mirror, Wan Jun saw a man with a short beard in the mirror. Wan Jun frowned and was about to stroke his beard as he was used to, but he grabbed it.
Kong couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that after fighting all my life, a girl would also cut my beard."
The girl smiled and said: "Please forgive me, General Wan. Didn't Mu Yi tell the general that I want to wrong you?"
After Wan Jun heard this, he stopped talking and thought silently in his heart, let him go.
While the girl was talking to Wan Jun, she heard footsteps outside the door, and Yan Bin's voice came into the room: "Master Wan, Mr. Mu is back."
"Oh, it turns out that a hero comes from a young age. We only have such a short time to go back and forth. Please come quickly." General Wan Jun opened his mouth and was about to stand up, but was glared at by the girl, who had no choice but to sit back in his seat.
superior.
Yan Bin pushed the door open and came in. He saw Wan Jun whose beard had been shaved by a girl. His eyes widened. He couldn't believe that the famous Northern Commander had turned into a short-bearded man. He almost couldn't hold it in.
The smiling Yan Bin saw General Wan's majestic and slightly angry eyes and had no choice but to suppress his laughter.
When Gu Xiao saw this, he was also very surprised and said to Lin'er: "I only asked you to try to cover General Wan's face so that no one can easily see his beard. What are you..."
"Didn't you ask me to cut off General Wan's beard? I must have heard wrong." Lin'er was a little innocent.
After hearing the conversation between these two people, Wan Jun was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Looking at Gu Xiao's expression of dumbfounding, Wan Jun waved his hands impatiently: "That's all, the beard can grow back anyway.
.Mu Xiao..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a big man standing inside the door.
This big man looked so much like himself that if it weren't for the fact that the big man was holding dry food in his hand and eating it deliciously, Wan Jun would have thought he was looking in the mirror.
"Brother Mu, even this general didn't expect you to have such abilities." Wan Jun clicked his tongue in surprise.
Then Wan Jun said: "Okay, everything has been done as you said, but what will happen tomorrow?"
Gu Xiao did not answer Wan Jun directly, but turned to Yan Bin and asked: "Commander Yan, are there any variables whether those two people are as we planned."
Yan Bin smiled and said: "Everything was as expected by Mu Shaoxia. The two brothers were frightened by the brothers I brought. They didn't even dare to pry. The one who ran was faster. When they left the city, the two who were guarding the city
After some interrogation, these two people were so scared that they almost peed their pants. Fortunately, I arrived in time and they were able to leave the city smoothly."
Nodding, Gu Xiao turned to Wan Jun and said, "If what I expected is correct, these two people have informed that group of people that Master Wan is going to the trail."
"Tomorrow, when they set off, I have arranged for people to intercept them. The bandit leaders who rely on their martial arts will definitely go there. At that time, it will be the time for us to capture the bandit leaders. Tomorrow, Brother Xue will take Master Wan's
The carriage is looking at the main road heading towards Xiaoloufeng. Brother Xue just needs to remember not to fight with that group of people, just hold them back and fight while retreating."
Gu Xiao paused and said to Yan Bin: "In order to lure them into a trap, we don't need to bring too many people. As long as Master Yan and I hide in the carriage of Master Wan, as long as the bandit leader takes action, we will attack together."
, take them down.”
"For the remaining manpower, please arrange for Mr. Yan to accompany Brother Xue to support my brother Tianya." Gu Xiao made arrangements for tomorrow.
Everyone followed the plan and left. Gu Xiao caressed the Broken Moon Sword Box behind him and murmured: "I just hope everything goes well tomorrow." This chapter has been completed!
