On the galloping road across Bolangsha, Meng Xiang, who was sweating profusely, rode a horse back and forth. The weather was unbearable, and he had to take off his apologetic black robe embroidered with gold piping, revealing the thin shirt inside. His sleeves were rolled up high, and the blue-black dragon tattoo on his strong arm revealed his identity as a bandit.

At the beginning, in order to control the bandits, Hai Dongqing set a rule, that is, anyone who joined Peach Blossom Island as a bandit not only swore allegiance, but also had to tattoo a mark. In addition to criminals who will be branded on their faces these days, only the bodies of brutes will be branded. The average person doesn't have a tattoo on his body at all. As the so-called parents of the body hair and skin, it is by no means a good thing to toss their body. But it is in this way that Hai Dongqing makes the pirates cut off all delusions. After getting a tattoo, he will be a bandit for life.

From top to bottom, tattoos were tattooed according to the rank of position. Hai Dongqing had nine green dragons tattooed on his chest and back. The eight King Kongs under his seat also had green dragon tattoos. It's just a matter of quantity. There are those with tigers, dragons, and wolves. Some of the ordinary pirate minions are ingenious, and there are also those with crabs and fish skin and shrimp. That's what it means.

As the head of the Eight King Kongs, Meng Xiang stabbed an evil dragon on his arms and on his back. Before this, only the holy daughters of the Qingjiao and the daughters of the blessed sect had seen Hai Dongqing's tattoo on their body, which marked the past evil. It's a pity that they can't be told by outsiders.

At this time, Meng Xiang had already ignored everything, he rode his horse and galloped all over the road, and everywhere he went, he asked the sect members if they could see the whereabouts of Lin Jue and the others, and all the sect members did not have the answers he wanted. Lin Jue and the others disappeared right under their noses.

Meng Xiangqi scolded angrily. He checked the traces on the official road on the east side of Bolangsha, confirmed that Lin Jue and the others had not left Bolangsha, and knew that they must have taken advantage of the cavalry's fast footage, detached from their own visual distance, and then hid somewhere. The vast waves of sand, the land within a radius of ten miles, the sand dunes and swamps are full of trees and thorns, where to find this group of people who make them hate to the bone? Ordinary people must have reached this point, and they will consider whether they should continue to bite Lin Jue. Whether to continue the siege or retreat is also a time to decide. But Meng Xiang was not. He already hated Lin Jue, and he had decided to give up the siege and besiege Lin Jue and others in Bolangsha to dissipate the anger in his heart.

Meng Xiang was already like a mad dog who had been forced to be anxious, and the city or something was no longer in his consideration, he was just going to let out this evil breath.

"Let me go down the sides of the gallop and search in small teams. It is impossible for them not to leave traces. With so many people and horses, there will be traces of chaos everywhere they go. The team is not equipped with a fireworks signal, but if it is found, it will be signaled immediately. If I don't find out these turtle grandchildren and slaughter them today, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart. Meng Xiang gave the order.

“……”

All the sect members looked at Meng Xiang speechlessly. They were tired, hot, hungry, and tossed to death. That's not all, Meng Xiang actually asked them to go into the swamp and thorns in the Bolang sand dunes to find it, which was even more fatal. Many of the congregational members are locals. The area around Yucheng is not far from Yangwu. Everyone knows about the dangers of Bolangsa. I don't know how many people have died in it, but they know how dangerous it can be.

"Meng Shouzuo, the brothers have had enough, we have now suffered defeat and died so many people. Grain and grass were also burned. Do you want to stay here? Tell our subordinates to see, we should return to the city to rest. Whether to attack again or have some other plan will be decided when the time comes. In this situation, the morale of the army is weakened and the morale is low, and it is not appropriate to toss the brothers here for the sake of two hundred cavalry. Li Yunqing, the altar master of the Yincheng Branch, suggested.

"No, no one is allowed to withdraw without my order. I'm going to grab Lin Jue's kid and chop him up alive. Meng Xiang shouted angrily.

Li Yunqing frowned and said, "Meng Shoujiao, why do you have to get along with that kid?" This is not the time for us to be impressed. The brothers can't stand it anymore, and I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain it if it goes on like this. ”

Meng Xiang turned his head and glared at Li Yunqing and said, "What, can't be restrained?" I don't think it's that you can't be restrained below, but that you Li Yunqing can't be restrained. I tell you, don't think that you have strangled 500 forbidden troops and made a great achievement. You can be presumptuous in front of yourself. In today's battle, you are timid and perform extremely poorly. I'm not blaming you for giving you face, you have to be self-aware. You will be held accountable for today's defeat. ”

Li Yunqing's face turned pale, anger surged, and he muttered: "I don't have the ability, but it's my head to blame." Do you blame me? It really doesn't make sense. ”

Meng Xiang heard the truth and shouted: "Master Li, what did you say?" You repeat? Do you want to commit it? Do you remember Article 19 of my Doctrine? If the offender is punished as apostasy, do you want me to cut off your head with a knife? ”

Li Yunqing was originally a ruffian on the street, but he mixed into the Qingjiao and became the altar master. Temper is naturally not easy to get along with. At this moment, he was tired and tired, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Meng Xiang, so he couldn't hold it back.

So he retorted loudly: "Meng Shouzao, you yourself are not effective in attacking the city, but you put the blame on others. You are the leader of the army, tens of thousands of brothers followed you to attack the city, and you can't even take a small county town, but you come to blame others, it's really funny. If it were me, I would have taken it a long time ago. You still blame me. Originally, victory and defeat were a common thing in soldiers, and when they were defeated, they regrouped, but you treated your brothers as bad people, and in such weather, and you were hungry and tired, you forced people to find the two hundred cavalry who did not know where to hide to vent their anger. I can see it, what the man surnamed Lin said is true, you want to kill him and kill him, and he will shake out your old foundation everywhere, right? ”

Meng Xiang's body was shocked, and the fierce light in his eyes was blazing. He didn't expect Li Yunqing to dare to say these words in public. This shows that Li Yunqing and the others are actually already suspicious of their own identity and that of the owner of the village. This matter is more serious than anything else, if the identity of the owner of the village is revealed, how can the sect members be willing to follow? How else to deceive the people?

"Li Yunqing, you actually believe other people's rumors, you doubt my identity, even the identity of the Holy Father? I think you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you have poured too much feces and urine, and your brain has been broken. Meng Xiang said coldly.

Li Yunqing also realized that what he said was excessive, and he might be polite to Meng Xiang, but it would be a big trouble to involve the Holy Father. So he smacked his lips and said: "I didn't say the Holy Father, the Holy Father exists like a god in my mind, I just talk about things." ”

Meng Xiang sneered: "You change your mind now, but it's too late." Li Yunqing, you disobeyed the order, committed rebellion, spread rumors and framed and ruined the reputation of the Holy Father, and you died innocently. Today, the first seat has dealt with you, the apostate of the Father. ”

Li Yunqing was shocked when he heard this, and before he could react, Meng Xiang had already pulled out the big ring knife on his waist with great speed, and with just one knife, he split Li Yunqing in half from his shoulder and neck. Suddenly, there was a lot of blood, and the intestines and internal organs flowed all over the ground.

"Ahh The left near bandits screamed in horror.

Meng Xiang withdrew the big ring knife, spat at Li Yunqing's corpse, and shouted: "Listen to me, whoever dares to disobey the military order will end up like this." Whoever dares to chew the root of his tongue, I will make him unable to speak for the rest of his life. Now, I'm going to search for people. Whoever dares not to obey will be killed. ”

Under Meng Xiang's obscenity, the sect members dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only obey their fate. Dozens of search teams slowly entered the sand dunes and swamps between the trees and thorns from both sides of the gallop road, and began to search aimlessly. Meng Xiang even sent several waves of people to climb the high hill near the left to look down, trying to obtain the traces of Lin Jue and the others with this all-round search.

The sun was so strong that people were dizzy. The sand dunes are even more impermeable among the trees. When people enter it, it is like entering a steamer. The searching cult team was stumped by the dense mass of trees and thorns, and wriggled in the bushes in a hot sweat. Mosquitoes fluttered and flew around them. The mosquitoes that have invaded the territory bite them unceremoniously, allowing them to wave their palms to drive them away, but they will not flinch.

In a miscellaneous forest on the north side of the middle of the road, a religious slave and a dozen members of the sect stepped on the ground in the black water and searched with difficulty. After walking through a thorny woodland, and in front of them was a slightly more open meadow, and a dozen or so sect members let out a long sigh of relief. Finally got rid of the goddamn mosquitoes and spiky vines in the forest. One of the cultists walked briskly forward, but there was a blistering sound from his feet.

"Be careful, it's a swamp." One of the congregants suddenly remembered the warning they had given, saying that the danger of the swamp was more terrifying than the thorny insects in the woods. So he reminded him out loud.

Unfortunately, his reminder came a little late. The cultist who rushed in front of him suddenly felt his whole body sinking rapidly. In just a trance, half of his body has fallen into the stinking water and sludge.

"Ahh The congregation cried out in panic, and raised his feet to figure it out. But his legs and feet seemed to be pulled by something under the water, not only could not be pulled out at all, but continued to sink. The steaming bubbles burst and gave off an unpleasant stench. Soon it sank into the waist.

"Help me!" The cultist shouted in panic.

"Don't move, don't move, we'll pull you up." The dozen or so bandits behind panicked, and one of the bandits took a few steps forward, trying to reach out and pull the bandit who was stuck in the mire, when suddenly half of his own leg also fell into the water. The bandit on the other side, who had sunk deep into his waist, grabbed his hand and dragged his whole body deeper and deeper.

At this time, everyone realizes that they are actually unable to protect themselves, that their feet may fall at any time, and that they themselves may fall into the quagmire at any time. After realizing this, more than a dozen bandits in the rear turned around and ran back. Stepping on the original footprints and returning to the woods. Only one of the muddy water in the muddy swamp was left in the muddy water, and the other bandit was pulled by the arm and half of his body was crooked in the muddy water.
