In the Grand Canyon at the foot of Liufeng Mountain, Wang Tizhong stood on the bank of the Baiyang River, looked at the rolling river, looked back at the hands of the people hiding from the rain in the bushes on the riverside, and was exhausted from climbing the mountains and mountains and drilling the forest in the rain all night, and some people even fell asleep on the rocks in the rain.

Wang Tizhong took off his boots, grinded a few blisters on his feet and squeezed out the poisonous water with tree thorns, and then leaned back, letting the rain wash away, and his subordinates saw that something was wrong with him, so they surrounded him: "General......"

"Wrong, wrong, let's chase the wrong one, Bai Wang didn't take this road, he entered the mountain! Wang Tizhong covered his face with his hands and yelled: "Fucking into the mountain!" ”

When the sky was slightly bright, Wang Tizhong led his troops to the canyon and then searched south along the bank of the Baiyang River, gritted his teeth and chased for ten miles, the sky has been half noon but found nothing, he can finally only face the reality of chasing the wrong, but the reality is too cruel, using thousands of people under his command to sleep all night and brave the rain to climb the mountains and endure all the hardships, but also to intrigue with others in the end but perfect miss, he is really unacceptable for a while!

"General, although we chased the wrong one, but this six-peak mountain is so big, Wang Zamao may not be able to find it" His subordinates comforted: "Let's go up the mountain from the west slope now, and it's hard to say who will die until the last moment......

The people under his command carried him to the tree to avoid the rain and made suggestions, and the mood in the king's body calmed down slightly, but he looked around and saw that the soldiers were extremely tired and had the strength to climb the mountain to search again, so he had to smile bitterly and shake his head, let the brothers rest and talk about it, as for whether Bai Wang can be captured, it depends on whether God will reward him or not.

A few henchmen began to organize their soldiers to cut wood at the foot of the mountain, build a tent to make a fire to keep warm, build a temporary camp to rest, the king dried his clothes and ate dry food, and was about to squint for a while, when his subordinates came to report that there were friendly troops in the rear.

Wang Tizhong smiled bitterly: "Let them go back ......" and suddenly shook his hand again: "Ignore them and let our brothers rest."

Yunguang Temple is very lively, Xu Hongji and others finally arrived at the foot of the mountain at dawn, but these old men can no longer move their feet, sit in the hall and say nothing in the go, let the family live and boil water and cook to serve, and the officers and soldiers under his command are no better to go into the mud in the temple on the mountain road, find a place to rest in the bushes, drill the mountain is an extremely difficult and torturous thing for most of them, if it is sunny and it is better, but it rains overnight, even if the iron can not bear it.

A few surviving monks in the temple were called again, and what they said was nothing new, in fact, as early as when Wang Tizhong decided to divide the troops into two ways to search and arrest, he had already sent someone to inform them that he went to the western Grand Canyon Wang Zamao entered the mountain, as for who they wanted to go with at will.

In the side room of the main hall, Xu Hongji was already snoring, Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi were also leaning against the corner of the wall and were drowsy, while Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and others were huddled around the ground and whispered something.

In the end, several people decided to rest in the temple first, but at the same time, they also sent men and horses to follow the two kings in two ways, thinking that even if they couldn't eat meat, they would have to drink soup.

When Wang Tizhong was drowsy in the grass hut in the canyon, the bigwigs in Yunguang Temple were also snoring wave after wave, but the bitter ones were the soldiers under their command, and the lucky ones found a clean place to sleep in the temple for a while, but most of them could only build a grass hut in the woods and wrap their soaked clothes for a while, while the unlucky part of the soldiers gritted their teeth and insisted on chasing Bai Wang.

Of course, the hardest person is none other than Wang Zamao.

Because no one is more meritorious than Wang Zamao.

After the Yunguang Temple was separated from the king's body, he went straight into the deep mountains, but this reckless deep mountain was bottomless, and the mountains were high and the forests were dense and dark on a rainy night, where to start chasing the enemy? By luck?

Of course not, the monk who led the way said that he found a cave when he went into the mountain to collect medicine, and every rainy day he took refuge in the rain and rested, most of the monks in the temple knew such a place, so Wang Zamao's heart moved, Bai Wang entered the mountain, maybe there was a monk to lead the way to the cave.

Anyway, at this time, it is better to go straight to the cave in the dark and chase around, and ask his subordinates to light more torches to see if they can find some traces, and what is surprising is that they really found the traces of the deserters, which made Wang Zamao excited and urged his subordinates to chase closely, of course, in order to boost morale, he drew a lot of cakes and played a lot of white strips.

It was dark and difficult to discern the direction in the forest, and it was all up to the monk who led the way to walk with his memory, coupled with the traces found from time to time, Wang Zamao and his party finally discovered the cave in the deep mountain at dawn.

The cave is in a deep valley under a mountain peak, the valley is densely wooded and there is a gurgling stream, it is an excellent hiding place and resting place, and traces left by deserters were found around and in the cave, but Wang Zamao sighed with a sad face, Bai Wang has never come.

The most direct evidence is that there are too few traces, and it is absolutely impossible for a team of hundreds of people to leave only these few traces, indicating that this is just Bai Wang's deliberate stay to confuse the enemy to attract pursuers. Listen to the school bag

The cave is not big but can accommodate more than 100 people, Wang Zamao asked his men to go into the cave to hide from the rain and rest, and the rest found another place to rest outside the cave, and at the same time sent several small teams to continue to search for traces around.

"Is it possible that it is Bai Wang who comes here, and it is other people who are really used to confuse the enemy, such as the main force led by Yuan Sanzhong, and we will just catch up with Bai Wang's line if we are crooked" Tang Hu frowned while roasting his clothes in the cave, Wang Zamao raised his eyebrows: "It's possible, but it may not be big."

I don't know how long it took for Wang Zamao to be awakened by the movement outside, but the people who were searching outside came back to report and found three clues, one to the east of the mountain, one to the south of the deep mountain, and one to the west.

Wang Zamao shook his head and smiled bitterly, now he finally realized Zuo Liangyu's feelings back then, because these were all tricks used to deal with officers and soldiers back then, Bai Wang used it on his head at this time, even if he was born in the thief army, he was at a loss at this time.

Walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at the sky, still dripping and dripping, and asked the hour, and his subordinates said that it was almost noon, Wang Zamao turned his head and looked at the subordinates who were lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, although he couldn't bear to wake them up, but the day was the best time to track, and if it was dark, he would become a headless fly.

The subordinates were called up, one by one, sleepy-eyed, staring against the cave wall in a daze, Tang Hu came over and asked about the situation, and frowned: "Chase over there?" ”

"First of all, exclude the west, because to go west is to go down the mountain, to go to the Grand Canyon over there, Wang Tizhong is searching over there at this time, Bai Wang can't be blind and send it to the door" Wang Zamao raised his eyebrows and analyzed: "Go east and the mountain is deeper, if you go over Liufeng Mountain to the south, there may be mountain households" said and turned his head to look at the monk who led the way curled up at the entrance of the cave: "Is that right?" Bald donkey".

"The little monk has never climbed the Liufeng Mountain, but I heard that the medicine picker said that there are canyons behind the mountain, there are rivers and people's homes, but as for how far the mountain will go, I don't know......" The monk turned pale with fright.

"Then let's chase south" Tang Hu said and walked out of the cave to look around, pointing to the east: "The mountain over there is the highest, you can send a few people to the top to watch, even if it drills the forest, you can find traces" Wang Zamao thought so, so he ordered a group of people to go and send a signal if they were found, and then urged his subordinates to continue to pursue south.

At noon, Yunguang Temple.

Xu Hongji and the others were still asleep, Wu Sangui was confused for a while and woke up at the door of the main hall looking at the mountain rain in a daze, I don't know when Ma Ke also woke up, and walked over when he saw this: "What do you think?" ”

Wu Sangui turned his head and smiled bitterly: "I want us to suffer a crime in vain, this good thing can't fall on our heads at all, I have to say that the little eunuch is amazing, just throw a piece of meat in your hand and make us scramble...... but forgot that there is no such thing as pie in heaven."

"Why is Mr. Wu so depressed all of a sudden, this is just the first day of entering the mountain, it is not certain who will fall into the flowers, even if Wang Tizhong and Wang Zamao go fast, it may not fall on his head, this thing depends on luck!" Marco reassured.

Wu Sangui sighed: "Having said that, the probability of first-come, first-served is high, Wang Zamao and Wang Tizhong are far better than us in terms of experience in the mountains and work so hard, there is always a better chance."

Moreover, Ma Ke pursed his lips: "Think about it from another angle, they are just our pawns and just exploring the way for us" Wu Sangui laughed when he heard this: "Mr. Ma is reasonable" said and stood up: "We can't always sleep here and wait for good things to come to the door, and take advantage of the dawn to enter the mountain to increase the scope of the search."

Ma Ke nodded, and suddenly realized that the people in the hall were much better: "Hao Shaoqi, they ......"

"Let's go, I was woken up by them, Hao Shaoqi, Ji Jike, Jin Shenghuan, and the people of Dongchang Sanwei are all gone......" Wu Sangui sighed: "The meat is too fragrant, everyone wants to share and eat it."

Ma Ke snorted and looked at the side room: "Those ......"

"Let them go, these people don't have the delicacies of the mountains and seas, Bai Wang's meat is not available to them, at this time you wake them up, they will not enter the mountain in person, this kind of hard work is naturally handed over to his subordinates to do, hey, we are different, everything has to be done by yourself......"

"This person is really angry compared to people" Ma Ke scolded a few words in a low voice, asked his henchmen to gather people, and then asked Wu Sangui: "Which way do we go?" ”

Wu Sangui thought for a while: "The people who went to the western canyon have already come to report, and they have caught up with Wang Tizhong, who is sleeping at this time, and it seems that he has nothing to gain and is not light, and the people who went up the mountain have not yet heard a message, so I think ...... Let's go into the mountains."
