Suzaku Mountain Black Banner Camp
The camp was very quiet at night, and there was hardly any sound, except for the rustling footsteps of soldiers passing by on patrol from time to time. The camp of the Black Banner Army on Suzaku Mountain started from the foot of the mountain and was built according to the mountain. There is an extremely wide and flat road extending from the foot of the mountain, leading to the distance. The gate of Daying is built on the mountain, and there is a deep stream outside the gate. People can only enter and exit when the suspension bridge is lowered. The terrain here is unparalleled.
Even if a large group of people came to attack, as long as the suspension bridge was raised, the attacking army would not be able to fly over the deep stream unless a very long and strong ladder was built to serve as a bridge. As long as the defenders need archers to block the enemy, they will not be able to get through.
The moonlight is very good, and it is silvery white on the ground.
There are endless residential houses at the foot of the mountain, and the common people feel that living next to the Zhuque Mountain camp is the safest choice in the world. Over the years, more and more people have settled down the mountain.
The sound of horseshoes stopped a dozen miles away from Suzaku Mountain, and there were patches of residential houses further on. In such a quiet night, the sound of horseshoes on the road was too crisp. This is a very tall and strange horse with a long mane and a broom-like tail.
The young man on the horse jumped down, patted the wild horse and whispered something, the wild horse snorted immediately, then turned and walked into the woods by itself.
The young man in a moon-white Confucian shirt glanced at the hazy dwellings under the moon, heaved a sigh of relief and walked over.
When he reached the entrance of the village, he raised his hand, and immediately a few secret sentry soldiers fell down from the houses on both sides. When they fell, it seemed that an invisible big hand was holding the corpse, and it landed silently. The young man glanced at the corpses with a blank expression on his face. At this moment, a piercing and loud sound of horns suddenly came to mind in a certain corner, and it spread far and far in an instant in the silent night.
The young man frowned, stretched out his hand and pointed there, and the Xiao Riding School who was hiding in the shadows died immediately, and with a clatter, the warning horn he was holding tightly fell to the ground.
The moment the horn sounded, the young man couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't notice the person who gave the warning just now. It wasn't because of how high his cultivation was. On the contrary, the Xiaoqi school who gave the warning was an ordinary person who was specially trained. , when he was hiding in the dark, it was difficult for the great practitioners to detect him.
"To enter, or not to enter?"
The young man hesitated for a while, asked himself but didn't have an answer for a while.
At this time, the warning horn sounded, and the suspension bridge of the mountain gate in the distance was rising. With his cultivation base, it is not difficult to cross the deep ravine, he only needs to use his strength once to leap over. But at this time, the mountains were already alarmed, even if there were no real great practitioners in charge, the entire camp would be alarmed, and it would be impossible to find Fang Jie's wife and daughter.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly frowned.
At least dozens of people came from all around, wearing brocade clothes and red cloaks, the attire was exactly the same as those he killed in Fangshanting Town.
"It's heavily guarded."
The young man glanced at those Xiaoqi Schools, then put his hand to his mouth and whistled. In the distance, the majestic wild horse rushed out of the woods, hooves like the wind. Without waiting for the reaction of those Xiao cavalry schools, the young man's feet slid out, lightly landed on the back of the wild horse, turned the horse's head and galloped away towards the distance.
"Send a signal to let the dark whistle in front of you keep an eye on him."
The leader of the Xiaoqi school team gave orders.
"No need."
A figure came over from the gate of the village and looked at the direction the young man was walking: "Nine times out of ten, he has killed the secret sentry on the outskirts. This person seems to want to sneak into the camp, but he seems to be a novice. Not much. I personally chased it and ordered it to go down. Starting tonight, the patrol strength will be doubled."
"Here!"
The team took the lead and asked, "General Yan, do you want to mobilize people to follow you?"
The person who came later was none other than Yan Kuang.
He went back to the Zhuqueshan Camp for business due to military affairs, and he only arrived this afternoon. The guards in the camp were about to dispatch when they heard the warning, but he stopped them. He asked everyone to stand by and strengthen the protection of the families of the generals in the back mountain, so as not to be transferred away from the mountain. Then he came out of the camp alone, just in time to see the young man leave.
The lord is not at home, what is this man doing here
Yan Kuang muttered something in his heart, waved his hands to signal those Xiaoqi schools to do something, and then he chased them out by himself.
…
…
in the mountains
There was a sneer on the young man's lips.
He climbed on the rock with one hand, and looked down at the brightly lit Zhuque Mountain camp. Before he left on horseback, Yan Kuang chased after him. He got off his horse halfway, and after letting the wild horse lure Yan Kuang away, he came back again. This time I didn't go to the mountain gate, but went around a long way and climbed up the mountain from the cliff.
After calculating the time, it was almost dawn, and he sat down cross-legged on a rock, waiting for the arrival of the next night.
I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there were bursts of voices in the woods. The young man opened his eyes and looked down. There were two young girls coming from the forest with baskets. They looked like maidservants from a wealthy family. He listened quietly for a while, and it turned out that the two maids sneaked out from the Zhuque Mountain camp to pick flowers.
Keep talking and playing for a while and go back quickly, don't be discovered by your wife or something.
Hearing the word Madam, the young man's eyes froze. He concentrated his perception, found that there were no practitioners around, and then jumped off the rock, lightly landed behind the two girls, reached out and tapped twice, and the two girls passed out immediately.
He picked up the two men and swept them out towards the depths of the mountain forest.
He chose a very deep stone cave, and he threw the two maids on the ground. The pain revived the two maids, and they began to scream subconsciously.
"Answer me a few questions, I won't kill you."
The young man seemed disgusted by women crying, but he kept holding back.
"If you call again, I will take off your clothes first."
This sentence is especially useful for women, the two little maids immediately stopped shouting, hugged each other and moved back, their faces full of panic.
"What kind of wife did you two just mention, but the wife of Fang Xie, the Duke of the Black Banner Army?"
"No... no."
One of the maids replied subconsciously: "Our wife is Lord Dugu's mother. Let me tell you, Lord Dugu is the most valued person under the Duke's subordinates. Don't act foolishly. If you let us go back, we will pretend that we have never seen you." We all ran out secretly, if Madam finds out that we have not returned for a long time, she will definitely send someone to look for it.”
"It would scare people."
The young man snorted coldly: "Where does Fang Jie's wife live?"
"wife?"
Another maid was stunned for a moment: "Duke Zhen hasn't officially married yet... Ah! Don't tell me you're trying to do something bad! I warn you, the camp is heavily guarded by experts, and you won't be able to get out if you go in. Hurry up! Let the two of us go, or the people from the Xiao Riding School will definitely find you soon. Besides... besides, the wives of the Duke are not in the camp!"
"Where's the child!"
The young man's face changed and he asked.
"Madam is not here, so naturally Miss is not here either!"
The maid said loudly: "This is the back mountain of the camp. If you really dare to make a mistake, I guarantee that you will not go down alive."
"Women are so annoying."
The young man subconsciously thought of his well-behaved little maid, and thought of the inexplicable look in her eyes before she died, and a surge of anger arose from his heart. He leaned over and grabbed the neck of one of the maids, twisted it hard, and with a click, the maid's head was tilted to one side, and she couldn't see it alive.
"Tell me where Fang Jie's woman and child went. You don't need to tell me. I guarantee that your death will be 10,000 times more painful than her death."
He wiped a tear from the maid's cheek, flicked his fingers, and the tear flew out as if alive, and then penetrated into the body of the dead little maid, and in a short while, burrowed into the corpse. Incomplete. The other maid screamed in fright, shrinking back continuously.
The young man pointed at her, and the drop of tear came out of the dead body and stopped in front of the maid.
"explain!"
…
…
On the official road, the young man riding the wild horse kept waving his whip. The wild horse suffered from the pain, tearing apart its four hooves and galloping forward. The speed of this horse is astonishingly fast, even faster than the BMW horses produced in the Western Regions. It didn't take half a day from leaving the Zhuque Mountain camp to coming out of the hundred miles.
When passing through a forest, he suddenly grabbed the mane of the wild horse, and the horse stopped in pain.
"Master Seven."
Several people in black clothes jumped out from the woods, and they all carried a strange-looking weapon on their backs. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell what it was.
"Send someone back to tell Eighth Master and Ninth Master that Fang Jie's women and children have gone to Gyeonggi Province. If there is no accident, they will have crossed the Yangtze River. Please stop them in Jiangbei Province. I will come from behind. Chase after him. If it is later, Fang Jie's women and children may go to the Black Banner Army camp. At that time, all of Jiu Ye's arrangements will be in vain."
"yes!"
The leading man in black responded, turned around and fled towards the distance.
"Your speed is too slow, just follow from behind. Go directly to Jiangbei Road branch to find me. After I kill Fang Jie's women and children, I will wait there for Ba Ye to come over. If Ba Ye killed them, Will wait for me there too."
"yes!"
The rest of the men in black responded.
As soon as the young man urged the horse, it rushed out like the wind. After he left, those men in black looked at each other, and then took off the kind of special weapon they were carrying from their backs. It was a flying claw with a strange shape. The two iron claws were connected by a rope. The iron claws didn't look particularly sharp, but they didn't look like ordinary iron tools.
These people swung the flying claws, and the humming sound was like a strong wind blowing. Then he threw the iron claw fiercely, and the rope was several meters long. The iron claw hooked the tree branch, and these people pulled the rope of the flying claw and swung forward like apes. They kept throwing and flying like this, and the speed of moving forward was astonishing.
Outside Uiho Town at the junction of Gyeonggi-do and Jiangbei-do, a white shadow flashed across the official road. Even if someone saw it, they couldn't tell what the white light was. It took a long time for the white light to pass before a gust of wind swept over it.
There were bloodshot eyes in Fang Jie's eyes, which made him look a little hideous.
He used to worry about whether he would harm her if he had a child. After the child is born, if he is not around, will his enemies find him? At that time, Fang Jie had thought that instead of being unable to protect his own child, he should not have a child.
Now, he just wants to get back as soon as possible. They must not be harmed in the slightest.
