Chapter 718 Wind Snow Mountain Villa 87
Lu Dashi walked quickly to Liu Changlin and asked quickly, "Who are the people who escaped?" ”
Liu Changlin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know, we only saw three people sitting on the first carriage, and as for the second carriage, before the curtain was opened, they began to make trouble, and they didn't see how many of them there were." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Changlin's tone paused, and after thinking about the scene at that time, he continued, "The person who played the sword in front at that time was a middle-aged scholar who made a sword.
But when I pursued from behind, it was not the middle-aged scholar who wielded the sword, but a knife that poked out of the carriage and slashed me.
So I'm guessing that there must be at least two people sitting in the carriage. ”
After hearing Liu Changlin's words, Lu Dashi's brows couldn't help frowning, and after a moment of silence, he asked slowly.
"In your opinion, is it the martial arts of the person who wields the sword, or the martial arts of the person who uses the sword?"
After hearing this, a trace of horror flashed in Liu Changlin's eyes, and he sighed, "Of course, the person with the sword in front of the carriage has high martial arts, if I am with him, I'm afraid I will ......." ”
After hearing Liu Changlin's words, Lu Dashi nodded and didn't ask again, because he already knew that if he didn't guess wrong, the person who used the sword in front of him must be Li Wenchang, and the person who used the knife in the back of the carriage was Ge Feiyu nine times out of ten.
At that time, when he was in Shuangniu Mountain, Lu Dashi saw Ge Feiyu for the first time, and Ge Feiyu used a knife.
Liu Changlin turned his head to look at the dozen or so soldiers who fell to the ground, and said gloomily, "These brothers were injured by the person with a sword in front of the carriage. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Changlin's tone paused, remembering the brilliant sword light he had just seen, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Only one sword was used, and the middle-aged scholar only used one sword to repel the dozen brothers who were blocking in front."
It's really the first time I've seen such a powerful swordsmanship, and now that I think about it, my opponent is not him, alas"
When Li Zhutou heard this, he looked at the dozen or so soldiers lying on the ground, and was taken aback, and asked in surprise.
"Are you saying that the middle-aged scholar only used a sword to injure all of these dozen brothers?"
Liu Changlin nodded, "There is indeed only one sword." ”
Hearing Liu Changlin's answer, Li Zhutou was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Lu Dashi suddenly, and asked in surprise, "Lu Zhutou, is this middle-aged scholar the Li Wenchang you said?" ”
Lu Dashi nodded, "I think it should be him, among the people I know, only his swordsmanship is so superb." ”
Li Zhutou looked at the official road outside the city gate and sighed, "It seems that they are starting from here to return to the territory of the Shenwei Army!" ”
……
After waiting at the city gate for about half an hour, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and soon a group of horsemen appeared in everyone's sight.
The soldiers who appeared were not Zhang Yidong, I was the one who came back with Lu Dashi last night.
This pair of cavalry, which numbered more than 100 people, only slightly greeted the defenders of the city, asked for directions, and immediately rode out of the city and chased them out.
Looking at the back of this group of cavalry leaving, Li Zhutou raised his head and slammed his hand on the city wall, and said angrily, "Why is Lao Zhang so slow and hasn't come back yet?" ”
As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves came, and soon, Zhang Yidong in front of the horse team appeared in everyone's sight.
Seeing this, Li Zhutou was overjoyed, and when the horse team came closer, he immediately jumped on an empty war horse and waved his hand at the landing boulder.
"Lu Zhutou, let's go."
After everyone got on the war horses, they did not delay, and immediately chased forward along the straight official road.
The crowd ran along the official road for half an hour, and soon came to the middle of the two mountains, and this official road extended forward between the two mountains.
After walking a short distance, Lu Dashi watched from a distance that the soldiers who were chasing him were stopping not far in front.
Seeing these stopped soldiers, Lu Dashi suddenly had a bad idea in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward quickly.
When he came to the pair not far from the front, after seeing the situation clearly, Lu Dashixin suddenly felt half cold.
On the official road ahead, two carriages were parked.
At this moment, there were already soldiers searching in front of the carriage, thinking that there was no one on the carriage anymore.
Seeing this, Lu Dashi hurriedly jumped off the war horse and walked quickly to the two carriages.
When the soldiers saw the costumes of the people, they knew that they were people from the yamen, so they did not stop them, and let Lu Dashen and Li Zhutou come to the carriage.
Lu Dashi stepped forward to look inside the carriage, and sure enough, as he guessed, there was no one left.
Lu Dashi turned his head to look at a soldier next to him, and asked in a deep voice, "When you rushed over, there was no one in these two carriages?" ”
As soon as Lu Dashi's words fell, before the soldier could answer, a middle-aged man dressed as a leader walked over quickly.
"When we came, it was already like this."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged soldier's tone paused before continuing, "It seems that they were afraid that we would chase them, so they abandoned the carriage and fled. ”
When Lu Dashi heard this, he hurriedly hugged his fists at the middle-aged soldier, "In Xia Lu Dashi, he is the head catcher of Huaishui County, I don't know if this big brother respects the big name?" ”
The middle-aged soldier smiled and waved his hand, "I know your name is Lu Dashi, and on the way back, you have been with Master Guo, right?" ”
Lu Dashi nodded hurriedly, "May I ask if Your Excellency is ......?" ”
The middle-aged soldier clenched his fists and said, "Brother Lu, you're welcome, my name is Zhang Chenghu, and I am the captain of the city." ”
When Lu Dashi heard this, he hugged his fists again, "Captain Zhang!" ”
Zhang Chenghu nodded, and then, turned his head to look at both sides of the road, and couldn't help frowning.
"These guys, I don't know which side they went?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Chenghu's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Lu Dashi to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.
"Why don't we divide our troops into two ways and search together on both sides!"
Hearing this, Lu Dashi nodded, "Okay, in that case, let's search separately, and once we find those gangsters, we will immediately send someone to report them." ”
Zhang Chenghu smiled and nodded, "I'll go to the left, you guys go to the right, Brother Lu, what do you think?" ”
Lu Dashi hurriedly hugged his fists, "It's all up to Brother Zhang's orders!" ”
When Zhang Chenghu heard this, he immediately waved his hand to the soldiers beside him, "Leave a few people to watch the horses, and the rest will go with me." ”
After speaking, Zhang Chenghu took all the soldiers and went down the official road and walked towards a mountain on the left.
Seeing this, Lu Dashi turned his head to Li Zhutou and whispered, "Li Zhutou, let's go too." ”
Hearing this, Li Zhutou nodded, and ordered a few catchers to stay and watch the horses, and the rest of the people also got off the official road and walked towards the mountain on the right.
Lu Dashi and the others got off the official road, and after walking forward for dozens of meters, they entered the woods on the mountain.
Lu Dashi walked in the middle of the team, observing the movements of the four weeks, and wondering in his heart, where will Li Wenchang run after they get off the carriage?
"Ahh
Suddenly, Lu Dashi heard a miserable cry from in front of him, and he was taken aback in his heart, hurriedly separated everyone, and walked forward.
He hadn't taken two steps before he heard laughter coming from ahead.
"Lao Wang, you are really unlucky, as soon as you go up the mountain, you stepped on the horse manure, which is a good start."
"That's right, since it's off to a good start, I'm sure I'll be able to catch those gangsters today, haha......."
"It's really unlucky, how can there be horse manure ...... here?"
After hearing everyone's jokes, Lu Dashi's mind suddenly moved, and he hurriedly walked to the front to check the situation in front.
One catcher was laboriously wiping the horse manure on his feet, and the other two were holding him to save him from falling.
Lu Dashi's brows furrowed, he looked around again, suddenly turned his head to look at Li Zhutou who was catching up, and said quickly.
"Li Zhutou, you quickly send someone to find Captain Zhang and them, and tell them that those gangsters did not go up the mountain, but continued to run forward on horseback."
Li Zhutou has always been very convinced of Lu Dashi, and after hearing Lu Dashi's words, he did not hesitate, and directly ordered a catcher to chase after Captain Zhang, who was about to go up the mountain.
After the catcher was about to leave, Li Zhutou turned around, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the horse manure on the ground, his mind suddenly moved, and he asked in surprise, "Lu Zhutou, you mean, do they have horses hidden here?" ”
Lu Dashi nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed to another pool of horse manure not far away, "Li Zhutou, you see, there is not only one stall of horse manure here, which means that there is definitely not only one horse here, and this horse manure is still very fresh, it should not be a long time." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Dashi's tone paused, and then continued, "And in such a remote place, how can there be so much busy, so there is only one reason, that is, Li Wenchang and they know that they can't outrun our war horses by relying on carriages alone, so they have hidden horses here a long time ago." ”
After listening to Lu Dashi's words, Li Zhutou nodded, immediately waved his hand at everyone, and said loudly.
"Brothers, let's go back."
After speaking, Li Zhutou took the lead in the direction of the official road.
Everyone soon came to the official road, Li Zhutou immediately ordered people to ride on war horses, and was about to set off, when he saw Zhang Chenghu leading people out of the opposite woods.
"Brother Lu, wait for us, let's go chase them together......."
Zhang Chenghu is not a fool, when he came back from Fengxue Villa yesterday, Guo Yi called Lu Dashi over, and the two talked for a long time.
Through this, it is enough to prove that Lu Dashi is a person with means!
Zhang Chenghu knows that with people who have a way, he will definitely not suffer!
Hearing Zhang Chenghu's shout, no matter how anxious Lu Dashi was, he could only wait in place with a wry smile.
Zhang Chenghu and their speed were not slow, and it didn't take long for them to run to the official road.
Zhang Chenghu rode his big black horse, directly hit the horse and came to Lu Dashi's side, and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, I've kept you waiting for a long time, let's go!" ”
Lu Dashi nodded, waved his hand at everyone, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, let's go!" ”
With Lu Dashi's order, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves gradually sounded, and soon condensed into a thunderous sound, rumbling along the official road and galloping away into the distance.
Although the castration of the horse team was amazing, the speed was not very fast, because the official road was not wide, and there were often carriages and pedestrians passing by, so it was natural that they did not dare to run with all their might.
In addition, even if there are no pedestrians and carriages on the official road, a horse team of more than 100 people, gathered on such a narrow official road, will definitely not dare to move forward frantically.
Because, once a horse suddenly stumbles, it can cause irreparable tragedy.
Although Lu Dashi was anxious in his heart, he had nothing to do, and he could only silently hope that there was a village or something like that in front of him, so he could go and investigate to see if Li Wenchang and they had passed by.
The crowd followed the official road all the way to the west, and after about an hour's drive, they finally saw a small town.
This official road is passed through in the middle of the town.
As we entered the town, the number of people on the road gradually increased, and the speed of the horse team became even slower.
Lu Dashi turned his head to look at Li Zhutou, who had been by his side, and said loudly.
"Li Zhutou, let's go to both sides to inquire and see if Li Wenchang and the others have passed by."
When Li Zhutou heard this, he hurriedly responded and waved his hand to make the catchers stop.
Fortunately, Zhang Chenghu, who was in front of Lu Dashi, heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him gradually lightened, hurriedly reined in the war horse, turned his head to Lu Dashi, and hurriedly turned the horse's head and ran towards Lu Dashi.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
When Lu Dashi heard this, he said in a deep voice, "Let's stop and inquire to see if they have passed through here." ”
Hearing Lu Dashi's words, Zhang Chenghu hurriedly turned his head and shouted loudly to the soldiers in front of him, "Stop for me and wait for orders." ”
Zhang Chenghu saw that the soldiers in front of him gradually stopped, so he turned his head to look at Lu Dashi and said with a smile.
"Brother Lu, everyone is a brother, if you find anything, just say, the brothers will listen to you!"
After hearing Zhang Chenghu's words, Lu Dashi asked with some surprise, "Brother Zhang, it doesn't have to be like this, right?" ”
Zhang Chenghu smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Lu, even Lord Guo believes in you so much, don't we believe in you?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Chenghu's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Lu Dashi to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.
"Brother Lu, you don't have to be polite, if you have any orders, just say it, and the brothers just do it!"
Hearing Zhang Chenghu's words, Li Zhutou also said with a smile, "Lu Zhutou, what Captain Zhang said is right, among us people, you are smart, if you don't listen to you, who else can you listen to?" ”
When Zhang Chenghu heard this, he laughed and nodded, "Li Zhutou is right, everyone works together, we must catch this gang of gangsters!" ”
At this moment, the catcher who went to the side to inquire hurriedly walked back, "Li Zhutou, his subordinates asked a few people, and none of them saw anyone riding a horse passing by here. ”
After a while, another catcher who had gone to inquire was also about to return.
"Li Zhutou, there is nothing to find here ...... subordinates."
After hearing the words of the two catchers, Li Zhutou looked at Lu Dashi with an inquiring gaze.
Lu Dashi frowned and said loudly, "Send a few more people, inquire about some more people on this street, and see if you can get clues?" ”
Li Zhutou nodded, "There are at least 8 people in the car, plus the people hiding in the woods to keep the horses, there should be at least 10 people."
A team of 10 people should be easy to spot! ”
When Zhang Chenghu heard this, he frowned, "But what if they act separately as individuals?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Chenghu's tone paused before continuing.
