Sima Wushuang carefully climbed until he was only half a foot away from the steep slope.
Although it was pitch dark, Sima Wushuang's night vision was pretty good, and he could vaguely see a rope hanging down from the steep slope from such a distance.
Sima Wushuang was very confident. With his Qinggong, he could climb up in just a few snaps of his fingers.
After confirming again and again that there was nothing unusual around him, Sima Wushuang slowly stood up.
He walked forward cautiously, and after taking only two steps, he suddenly felt something tripped slightly on the sole of his foot.
Immediately afterwards there were several squeaking sounds.
Sima Wushuang's reaction was quick enough. He came to his senses with a snap of his fingers. If something went wrong, there must be a monster.
But as it is said that skilled people are bold, this boy made a bold decision. He jumped towards the steep slope, grabbed the rope and climbed up. As soon as he took a step, there was a loud bang under his feet.
The sound did not shake the earth, but in this dark and silent night, it was deafening.
Sima Wushuang felt like something had hit him hard on the head, and then his eyes went dark and he fainted.
On the steep slope, Chen Xiaobei was excited and nervous when he heard the sound of landmines.
Ma Biao called on everyone to run down but was stopped by Chen Xiaobei.
In the dark night, if someone is injured by the explosion, he will not be able to run away. If there is no explosion, you will not be able to catch up with the person after they run away.
After waiting until the smoke cleared below, Chen Xiaobei said to Ma Biao, "I'll go down first and remove the fuse of the mine. Otherwise, if it is accidentally touched, we will be in trouble."
After saying that, he took the torch from the person next to him and was the first to slide down.
Before the slide reached the bottom, Chen Xiaobei saw that there was a person lying under the steep slope, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
Great, this shows that the mine is lethal, and seeing that the boy was motionless, he was probably seriously injured, and he might have been killed directly.
Immediately afterwards, someone also spotted someone on the steep slope, "There seems to be someone lying under Military Advisor Ma."
Upon hearing this, Ma Biao quickly called out, "Throw two more ropes and go down."
Chen Xiaobei came down and first removed the fuses of the other two mines. At this time, Ma Biao also brought people down. He turned the man over on the ground and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but look happy, "This is Sima
Unparalleled."
Then some more exploration.
"This kid's head is bleeding. It's an injury to his head."
Ma Biao still acted very safely. He first tied up Sima Wushuang with a rope, then treated his wounds, and then took a ladle of water to wake up Sima Wushuang.
Sima Wushuang slowly opened his eyes. When he saw a light in front of him, he immediately recalled the scene just now. He secretly thought that something was wrong, he was being plotted against.
I tried moving it a few times, but in vain, and it was tied tightly.
Seeing him waking up, Ma Biao spoke directly, "Sima Wushuang, I never thought you would be here today."
After someone discovered his identity, Sima Wushuang did not hide his sneer, "Humph, what kind of skill can you use such despicable means?"
Chen Xiaobei said to his heart, how is this despicable? In future generations, this will be a conventional weapon.
Ma Biao chuckled, "Sima Wushuang, don't make me angry here. The so-called winner and loser. Now that you have fallen into my hands, do you have anything else to say?"
Sima Wushuang was silent for a long time, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and sighed, "God won't help me, God won't help me, kill or scrape as you wish."
Ma Biao shook his head, "There is no deep hatred between you and me, so why should I kill you? As long as you tell me where Jue Jing Taoist is, I will heal your wounds and let you go."
The little flame of survival in Sima Wushuang's heart began to flicker again. Little did he know that this was Ma Biao's plan, "I have been separated from the Taoist Master for many days, and I don't know where he is."
Chen Xiaobei's mind suddenly moved, and he remembered what he had heard a few days ago about someone sneaking down the mountain. He immediately asked, "You mean that the Jueding Taoist acted on his own?"
Sima Wushuang nodded, "Yes, he has been separated from us for many days."
Upon hearing this question, Ma Biao looked at Chen Xiaobei with approval. This coincided with his own thoughts, and he also concluded that the person who sneaked down the mountain must be a top Taoist.
So now the situation is very clear. The master Taoist has escaped and Sima Wushuang has been captured. There is no need to guard him on the mountain.
After listening to Ma Biao's analysis, Chen Xiaobei also felt that it made sense. To capture the thief first, capture the king, and the rest of the soldiers and generals would be meaningless.
At this time, everyone no longer had any worries or taboos. They lit torches, packed their bags and prepared to go down the mountain. Chen Xiaobei also went to dig out all the mines.
These iron guys are very valuable. Besides, it would be bad if they stay on the mountain and accidentally injure the villagers.
By the time they returned to the village, it was already past noon.
Seeing him coming back, Cui Hongyu was full of joy and hurriedly went to cook.
But Chen Xiaobei didn't have time to rest, so he went directly to find Liu Rumei. He wanted to kill Sima Wushuang to pay homage to Lidong.
He had mentioned this proposal to Ma Biao many times along the way, but it was rejected by Ma Biao. Ma Biao said that he would ask Liu Rumei what he meant.
So as soon as he came back, Chen Xiaobei came to see Liu Rumei immediately.
Seeing Liu Rumei explain her purpose of coming, Liu Rumei's expression became solemn.
"Chang Li, it stands to reason that he not only killed your villagers but also many of my men. He deserves to die."
"But now is not the time to kill him. He is of greater use to us. I promise you that when I want to kill him one day, I will let you do it. Do you think it is okay?"
Having said this, what else could Chen Xiaobei say? He had no choice but to nod and agree.
When he returned home, Chen Xiaobei seemed unhappy, and for the first time he asked Cui Hongyu to pour him a bowl of wine.
Seeing this scene, Cui Hongyu couldn't help but ask him, "Why does your husband look so unhappy?"
Chen Xiaobei didn't hide anything and told Cui Hongyu the situation.
Cui Hongyu listened and persuaded in a soft voice, "Husband, you have killed Sun Jian, which can be regarded as revenge for the beginning of winter."
"Since Miss Liu said it would be useful to keep it, let's wait and see. Anyway, this Sima Wushuang will die sooner or later."
Come to think of it, let him live a few more days.
At this moment, Liu Rumei's place became busy, and two carrier pigeons landed one after another.
After reading the first letter, Liu Ce seemed a little surprised. He walked in quickly and bowed to Liu Rumei and said, "Miss, the Marquis suddenly sent a letter asking if there is a man named Chen Ermao in Hetou Village and what he looks like."
Liu Rumei was also in disbelief, "Why did dad suddenly ask about this?"
"Miss, do you think this Chen Ermao went to the Marquis, so the Marquis came to ask whether it was true or not?"
Liu Rumei nodded, "Then you go ask Chen Xiaobei and report Chen Ermao's situation to my father."
Liu Ce nodded in agreement, and then took out a second letter, "Miss, if you look at it again, this matter may be serious!"
