Entering the Rivers and Lakes with a Sword Chapter 71: It's Dark Under the Lamp
Xiaoloufeng, Yuling Village.
Hu Bao was proudly watching his men carry the money and food in the village. The minions behind him carrying knives were still flattering him, saying that his village leader was so powerful.
When he was feeling proud, he suddenly saw Zhang Da'er shouting and running towards him. Hu Bao was sitting on the village leader's chair that originally belonged to Shen Yulou, leisurely crossing his legs and watching the minions of Hutou Village working. , seeing Zhang Daer's panicked look, Hu Bao said slowly: "Why are you panicking?"
"Report to the leader of the village, that... that sinking... Yulou... ouch..." Xu Shi ran too fast. Zhang Daer, who had just arrived in front of the meeting hall of Yulingzhai, tripped on the threshold and fell down. He landed on his face.
When Hu Bao heard Zhang Da'er yelling in panic, and vaguely heard the words "Shen Yu Lou", his original leisurely expression suddenly disappeared. Hu Bao jumped up from the main chair of the village, jumped to Zhang Da'er's side, and He picked up Zhang Daer and shouted: "What are you talking about? Be clear about it. Where is Shen Yulou's body?"
Zhang Da'er was already knocked upside down and landed on his face. At this moment, the bridge of his nose was crooked. There was blood in his two nostrils. He was picked up by Hu Bao and roared, which made him even more dizzy.
Hu Bao was eager to know what Zhang Dayer was yelling at Shen Yulou just now. So he ordered the knife-carrying men beside him to lift Zhang Dayer to the table. After a while, Zhang Dayer seemed to have come back to his senses and hurriedly He rolled down from the table and knelt down to report to the leader of his village: "Report to the leader of the village,... there were three corpses found under the cliff, but none of Shen Yulou's was found."
"What did you say?" Hu Bao had already felt that something was wrong. Hearing Zhang Da'er's words, he couldn't believe his ears. Shen Yulou's body was missing. He fell from the cliff and felt that it was impossible to survive. Yes, Shen Yulou really escaped with his life this time, and this Hutou Village will probably never have peace in the future.
Thinking of this, Hu Bao shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't even fucking move!"
With a loud roar, the minions in Yuling Village who were busy rummaging through boxes and carrying belongings all stopped and looked at their village master. The minions wondered, wasn't the village master smiling just now, why did he suddenly change? Face.
"Zhang Da'er, Liu Laosi, you each take fifty people, spread out along the road, search carefully, you can't get away from him. Wu Laoqi, you take two hundred people, follow the various places in the forest Search the path for me. Even if he is lucky enough to be in Shen Yulou and doesn't fall to death, he must be seriously injured and he won't be able to run far." Hu Bao ordered in a loud voice.
After receiving the order, everyone gathered their minions, picked up their weapons and left.
"By the way, you two go back to Hutou Village and order Han Laojiu to guard the gate of the village." After Hu Bao allocated the manpower, he became worried about Hutou Village again, and then ordered the two minions who were carrying knives for him. .
"Okay, let's go now." The two of them got the command from the village leader and headed towards Hutou Village.
"No, I have to look for Xing Chi. His group of people are very skilled in martial arts. Maybe they can find some clues." Hu Bao thought of this and opened his mouth to shout again: "Which of you has seen Xing Chi's group? Which direction did you go?"
"Returning to the boss, I saw that they went northwest after going down the mountain." A minion carrying a pair of swords replied.
Hu Bao picked up the knife and shouted to the remaining men: "The remaining people, follow me to find the one with sex ruler." After saying this, he led the remaining people towards the northwest.
——
Shen Yulou finally got out of the forest and ran along the road for a long time with his injuries. He only felt the pain in the wound was unbearable, his breath was uneven, and his eyesight turned black. He had to endure the pain, sit on the ground, and adjust his breathing.
But before he could rest for a moment, he heard cluttered footsteps and shouts behind him. There must be more than a hundred people there, and he knew that the pursuers from Hutou Village had not found his body and were searching for it.
If there were no injuries on his body, let alone these more than a hundred people, even if the Hutou Village came out, they would not try to stop him. But now he is covered in injuries, his true energy has collapsed, and he is in unbearable pain even if he tries to gather his Dantian. Come on, I'm afraid just three or five minions will kill you.
Thinking of his brothers' last instructions, Shen Yulou stood up with gritted teeth, turned around and went into the forest, looking for a path. After walking for about a cup of tea, he only heard the sound of people on the path and the torches were bright. He hurriedly stepped in He went into the forest and hid his figure.
"The leader of the village said that the trail must be searched carefully. Shen Yulou was seriously injured before he fell off the cliff. He can't run far, and his head is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Boys, let me search on my own, even if I dig the ground Three feet away, you have to find this person for me." A leader held a torch and said to the rest of the group.
"Okay!" "Don't worry, Brother Wu Qi, our brothers have the one thousand taels of gold." Everyone responded loudly, holding torches.
Shen Yulou, who was in the forest not far away, was in despair. There were soldiers chasing him on the road, and people were searching the small roads. Could it be that I, Shen Yulou, was really destined to die?
Just when Shen Yulou was about to close his eyes and wait for death, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Yes, it was dark under the lamp. At this moment, they all thought that I, Shen Yulou, had fled for my life, and they would never have thought that I would dare to go back.
Thinking of this, Shen Yulou ignited the hope of living again. Hearing the footsteps on the road behind him getting closer, he could no longer think too much. Shen Yulou leaned over and picked up a palm-sized stone, barely mustering up a little strength. Throw it hard into the distance.
Although he was seriously injured, Shen Yulou was still a master of the First Preview Realm after all. The stone flew towards the depths of the forest, flew for a moment with a sound of breaking through the air, and hit the tree trunks in the forest, making a dull sound.
Wu Qi and others who were searching on the path heard a noise deep in the forest. They all picked up their weapons and ran towards the place where the noise came from.
Shen Yulou completed his plan and saw that the fire was gradually fading away. He hurriedly covered his wounds and ran towards Xiaolou Peak.
——
"Brother Chi, I really have no choice, so I came here to look for you. Just now in the forest, your brother stopped us. I really didn't know that you were doing something important." Hu Bao was explaining to Chi Qianren.
I led a group of minions to search in the direction where Shakuchenren and others left, and heard two groups of people talking in the forest from a distance.
The leader was about to step forward when he heard the sound of robes in the air, and a figure crossed from the air and stopped in front of Hu Bao and the others. This man had a hooked nose and small eyes. He had previously been a ruler with a thousand blades. Hu Bao was deeply impressed by the people who accompanied him.
Seeing him, Hu Bao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother, I am Hu Bao. I would like to ask Brother Chi if he is in the forest. I have something important to discuss with him."
"My eldest brother is meeting with important people. If there is anything we need to discuss later, we can wait until eldest brother has finished talking." Hook-nosed didn't seem to take Hu Bao seriously, but coldly blocked the way of everyone in Hutou Village.
"Brother, I really have something important to do. Otherwise, you can pass the message for me and tell brother Chi that Shen Yulou is not dead. He ran away." Hu Bao once joined forces with Chi Qianren to besiege Yuling Peak. Having seen Hawk-Bi's martial arts skills, even though Hawk-Bi didn't give him any face as the head of Hutou Village, he still said to Hawk-Bi politely.
"Waiting." Hawk-Bi thought for a moment and asked everyone in Hutou Village to wait. Then he made a leap and flew up to the treetops. After a few jumps, he landed next to Chi Qianren and told Hu Bao what he said. Please let me know about the incident.
Although Hook Nose left here and went to send a message, Hu Bao still did not dare to go rashly and could only wait anxiously. Little did he know that it was his arrival that prevented Chi Qianren and others from confronting Liu Piaopiao. A great battle.
Seeing Chi Qianren walking out of the forest with a cold face, Hu Bao hurriedly approached: "Brother Chi, Shen Yulou is not dead. His body was not found under the cliff of Xiaolou Peak. I have sent people around here." Went to search."
Chi Qianren originally planned to use the Hutou Village to dismantle the green forest in Lingzhou, and then kill all these people without leaving any one alive. In this way, he could use the power of Lingzhou to reestablish a new sect, and then he would start from Liu Piaopiao. Obtain the order of Mo Zhe in hand.
Chi Tianya and others received the order and came to meet him. He used the Mohist Order to order Chi Tianya to hand over his position as the leader. In this way, he became the legitimate leader of the 'Mo Sect', allowing his master who had always looked down on him to be there. Look underground and see that you are the real candidate who can carry forward what Mo Sect has learned.
Unexpectedly, Liu Piaopiao brought a master with him, which was beyond his expectation. Even if he had a fight with Liu and Fei just now, he would probably not get any benefits.
According to what Liu Piaopiao said, if you want to get the Mohist Order from him, you have to intercept and kill Wan Jun. It seems that you can't kill these losers first, but you can use Hu Bao and others to find out Wan Jun's whereabouts. Then he would use hundreds of people from Hutou Village and the people from Chi Tianya to hold back Wan Jun's guards. At that time, he would lead his own men and kill Wan Jun in his hands.
As for that Shen Yulou, he was just a grass bandit, he just ran away and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Chi Qianren's cold face, and he said to Hu Bao: "Master Hu, Shen Yulou escaped as soon as he escaped. There is nothing to worry about. I'll wait for you at Xiaoloufeng." , don’t worry, if he dares to return to Lingzhou, I will definitely help Brother Hu take his life."
Hu Bao looked at Chi Qianren's cold face and looked at him. There seemed to be murderous intent in his eyes, but as his expression changed, he spoke words of support for himself.
Hu Bao immediately let out a breath and said: "Brother Chi, Master Chi, you don't know that Shen Yulou is like an ant to you, but to me, if he doesn't die for a day, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. Ann."
"Since I am in the same boat as Master Hu, Master Hu spoke again, with a hooked nose and a pipe and a pot." Chi Qianren said with a slight tilt of his head.
"Here." Yantai Guo and the two people with hooked noses from before walked out from the crowd behind them.
"One of them is good at tracking, and the other is very strong with his feet. You can ask me and my two brothers to look for traces of Shen Yulou. Lord Hu, please follow me back to Xiaolou Peak. It just so happens that I also have something to ask Hu. Village owner."
Hu Bao had seen the Qinggong of Hook Nose and reached out, so he was naturally at ease with these two people, so he ordered everyone in Hutou Village to take these two people to the bottom of the cliff to search for Shen Yulou's whereabouts. He followed Chi Qianren and others and thought about Xiaoloufeng. , and left in Linzhai.
——
Shen Yulou felt that his steps were getting heavier. Seeing that Hutou Village had been evacuated from Xiaolou Peak, he felt even more sad.
After some inquiring, as he expected, all the gangsters from Hutou Village had gone down the mountain to search for his whereabouts. On the contrary, there was no one on this small building peak.
Dragging his heavy body, he entered the meeting hall. The place had been emptied out long ago. Looking at the familiar place, only some tables and chairs were left. Shen Yulou laughed at himself, as the thief had been looted.
Really laughing at himself, Shen Yulou heard Hu Bao's voice shouting outside the village gate: "Don't worry, as long as Brother Chi helps me find Shen Yulou, I, Hu, promise that Brother Chi will investigate anything from Lingzhou , nothing to mention."
While talking, a group of people walked straight towards the meeting hall.
Shen Yulou hurriedly moved his body to the main seat of his village. He bent down and groped on the ground for a moment. He felt a depression with his fingertips. He pressed hard with both fingers and there was a 'click' sound. A man-wide secret passage suddenly appeared. The ground was really a secret escape tunnel specially dug by Shen Yulou after he took control of Xiaolou Peak.
It's a pity that this secret passage leading to the bottom of the mountain has not yet been completed, and Xiaoloufeng was attacked by surprise. Now that he heard the noise, Hu Bao and the group of men in black clothes came back again for unknown reasons, so he had no choice but to hide in this secret passage first. , wait for them to leave, and then try to escape by yourself.
He leaned down and got into the secret passage. As the secret passage closed from the inside, the door of the conference hall was pushed open, and Hu Bao followed Chi Qianren and his party into the conference hall.
