Chapter 05: A Fall Pounces on the Tiger
"Search separately, if there are still people alive, they won't run too far."
Seeing that the woods were dense, if they really searched deep in the mountains, it would be useless to scatter 100,000 troops, they only had such a few people at the moment, and if they got together again, it would not be possible to search for anything, so Ye Xiaotian issued a practical order.
Zhou Bantou hesitated: "My lord, if everyone disperses......
Ye Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, the bandits have obtained the goods, they will definitely flee away, there will be no danger, everyone just need to be careful of the snakes, insects and beasts under their feet." ”
Zhou Bantou had no choice but to respond: "Yes! Immediately waved his hand, and led a few catchers to fan forward, so that Ye Xiaotian didn't have to explore forward, just searched horizontally, and Zhou Bantou was also out of a heart for his protection.
Seeing this, Zhao Wenyuan also pulled out his knife and pretended to wade through the grass and search forward.
Xiao Zhao's body was lying in the grass, and Tian Miaowen was sitting next to him, but her expression was still calm and calm, as if there was just a person sleeping next to her.
In this wilderness, if there is a different girl, when she encounters such a scene, I am afraid that she will be frightened and cry early, at least she should stay away from the corpse, but Tian Miaowen seems to be in her boudoir, and she is as calm and calm as ever.
She sat on the ground, bent her injured right foot over, gently rubbed her injured ankle, and pondered what had happened today, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the ambush was entirely aimed at her.
Careful preparation in advance, a perfect ambush, this is not the usual style of the bandits, and those "bandits" will use her guards as the main target as soon as they attack, all kinds of signs indicate that this is a sniper launched against her in the name of fake bandits.
"Who could it be?"
The relationship between the Four Heavenly Kings and the Eight Great King Kongs is very complicated, except for the families that are still related by marriage in the contemporary era, even if the other families have had many marriages in the ancestors, they are now distinct interest groups.
They usually come and go, drink and feast and travel very often. However, when it comes to competition, it is still open and secret, and it is impermanent. So Tian Miaowen can list more than one suspect, but at present, there are only two who have the motivation to use sniping to try to kill her.
One is the Song family, the Song family's power development over the years has not been sluggish, and the Song family's sphere of influence borders the Tian family's inherent sphere of influence, and the Tian family has tried to rise again, and the Song family has a certain amount of interest friction.
However, although the Song family has this motive, it does not conform to the consistent style of the Song family. You must know that if she really dies, her eldest brother Tian Binfei will definitely go crazy, as long as he catches the slightest trick, the Tian family will do their best, and they will not hesitate to take revenge on the Song family.
Although there is some friction between the Song family and the Tian family, it is far from the point where water and fire are incompatible, and the person in charge of the Song family has always been gentle in dealing with people. If the Song family is excluded, then there will only be one suspect left, and he is the most suspected. That is Yang Yinglong of the Banzhou Yang family.
The strength of the Yang family in Banzhou has actually surpassed the Tian family, and it has been chasing the Song family, and the Tian family is still pressing the Yang family in the rankings. And her eldest brother Tian Binfei has always regarded Yang Yinglong as a potential opponent, and the two have long wanted to fight.
It's just that the identities of Yang Yinglong and Tian Binfei are too special. Once the two of them make a move, it is not a game between literati and ink, nor can it be a contest of personal force, it is a game that uses the strength of two huge families. Pull a hair and move the whole body, not rash action.
Now the Yang family is interested in Huxian, and the Tian family also has an attitude of ambition towards Huxian. This move will inevitably anger Yang Yinglong, the Tian family was originally the biggest obstacle for Yang Yinglong to improve the status of the Yang family, and now there is such a competitive relationship, there is a good reason to deal with the Tian family.
Among the four major families, the power of the Tian family is the weakest, if Yang Yinglong can defeat the Tian family in one fell swoop and win a big victory, he can directly override the Song family and fight against the An family.
"If that's the case, then sniping me should be just Yang Yinglong's first move, since he decides to make a move, he will definitely be fully prepared, it is very likely that when I die in the valley, he will use the perjury prepared in advance to induce my eldest brother to seek revenge against other toasts, and fish in troubled waters......"
After a while, Tian Miaowen had already made a comprehensive analysis of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Eight King Kongs and other forces, and locked the object of suspicion as Yang Yinglong, and found sufficient motives for Yang Yinglong to commit the crime, and even Yang Yinglong's next plan was speculated in detail.
Being smart is mistaken by being smart, and only a woman like Tian Miaowen would think about a simple thing so complicated, if it was Zhan Ning'er or Xia Yingying's ......, those two women would not conduct any rational analysis at all!
Zhan Ning'er will chase directly into the mountain with a knife, and kill all those thieves even if it is a tooth for a tooth. And Yingying, she will call out her more than twenty uncles and seventy or eighty cousins in one go, and then ...... The rest is none of her business.
Tian Miaowen was pondering, when she suddenly heard the sound of the grass stirring. Tian Miaowen was startled, her body moved, her ankles were touched, and she snorted in pain.
Tian Miaowen gritted her teeth to endure the pain, and quickly drilled into the grass on the side. Although she also knew that unless Xiao Zhao's body was not found, a more detailed search would be carried out around her, she was injured in her ankle and couldn't escape far, she would still be found after all, and she instinctively wanted to hide and determine whether the other party was friend or foe first.
Zhao Wenyuan carried a knife and searched around pretending to be around, with slow steps under his feet. There was a catcher in front of him who was sweeping the grass with a fire stick, and when he saw Zhao Wenyuan, he turned forward and gave him the rest of the place to search.
Zhao Wenyuan knew very well what happened today, how could he have the heart to search, but as soon as his eyes drooped, he suddenly found that a clump of weeds in front of him suddenly shook, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he immediately slowed down his steps.
The fluctuation of the grass was very slight, and it fluctuated gently in one direction, it was very likely that it was some kind of small beast, Zhao Wenyuan felt that it would be worth the trip if he could get some game to go back, but he tiptoed over, and suddenly saw a smear of white from the gap in the thatch.
It was not a white beast, such as a white fox, but a touch of robe, Zhao Wenyuan's eyes immediately flashed a fierce color, and he subconsciously clenched the knife in his hand.
Tian Miaowen nervously hid in the grass, holding her breath, paying attention to the direction of the catcher who was sweeping the grass with a fire stick, but she didn't notice Zhao Wenyuan who was sneaking behind her.
Tian Miaowen hid there, her body squeezing the grass, and the wild grass just tilted at an angle in Zhao Wenyuan's direction, so that he found Tian Miaowen's traces from the dense grass.
Zhao Wenyuan knew that this person must be a survivor, so he instinctively moved to kill. In fact, he also knew that it was impossible for Long Lingyun to leak his connection with him, and it was even more impossible for this person who had survived the catastrophe to know something, but because of his position, he instinctively became hostile to this person.
But this murderous aura only scurred slightly, and then immediately disappeared. Because he saw Ye Xiaotian carrying a knife and walking towards this side, Zhao Wenyuan's slightly bowed body immediately straightened up, beckoned to Ye Xiaotian, and walked forward through the grass.
Ye Xiaotian strode over, looked at the sky in the west, and said to Zhao Wenyuan, who was walking forward "very seriously": "Brother Zhao, don't go too far, it's getting late, search for two miles again, if there is nothing to gain, let's go back." ”
Zhao Wenyuan turned around and smiled: "Okay! ”
Tian Miaowen heard that there were people talking on both sides of the front and back, her heart couldn't help pounding, her body was busy and lowered, and she thought to herself: "Is the person searching for me from the government or Yang Yinglong?" ”
Because Tian Miaowen believed that the ambush was aimed at her, then before capturing or killing her, Yang Yinglong's people would naturally not leave lightly, so it was difficult to judge the identity of outsiders.
However, there was nothing in Ye Xiaotian's words that could indicate his identity, Tian Miaowen couldn't help but hesitate: "Do I want to go out to meet them?" If they were Yang Yinglong's people, wouldn't I have thrown myself into the net. ”
At this time, Ye Xiaotian took a big stride and spoke to Zhao Wenyuan, who had walked into the distance, and walked to the top of the low ditch. The artemisia grass grew extremely tall, almost level with the ground, and the tips of the weeds in the ditch were only slightly lower than elsewhere.
Ye Xiaotian glanced at it casually, it was still a low-lying land, and he vacated it as soon as he stepped out, Ye Xiaotian exclaimed, "Oops", and the whole person threw himself into the ditch.
"Boom!"
A sleek steel knife stuck to Tian Miaoji's blown cheek and plunged into the soft soil, almost reaching the handle. Tian Miaowen never expected that this person would fall from above, and before the knife arrived, almost ruined her appearance by a fraction of a second, and shocked her to lose her appearance.
Tian Miaowen's scream just reached her lips, but she couldn't hold back, because at this moment, she felt a pain in her left chest, and was pressed firmly by a big hand, the two of them looked at each other, and there were a few weeds swaying gently in the middle, and the two of them didn't make a sound for a long time.
Tian Miaowen's apricot eyes widened, and she looked like she was about to scream, while Ye Xiaotian had a happy look on her face, and she looked like she was about to laugh out loud, and the two really complemented each other.
Ye Xiaotian fell down, and his heart was also shocked, he didn't even have time to exclaim, he fell to the ground, but except for his face being shaved a little hot by some grass stems, he didn't feel pain on his body, he fell to a soft place, in order to show joy.
He thought it was because the soil was soft, so he was not injured, but a face appeared in front of him, big eyes, delicate and charming, those eyes seemed to contain a puddle of water, with that pitiful pointed chin, so that people wanted to crush her and swallow her into their stomachs when they saw it.
"He's not a bandit!"
"Sure enough, it's a woman!"
Tian Miaowen saw Ye Xiaotian wearing a Confucian light shirt, and this thought flashed through her mind. When Ye Xiaotian saw her, he immediately thought of Zhou Bantou to analyze the identity of the owner of the light car.
Tian Miaowen saw that Ye Xiaotian was still looking at her scrutinically, so she glared at Ye Xiaotian and said word by word: "From me, get out, get down, go!" ”
