In this battle, the officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses, more than 20 people were killed, and more than 50 were seriously injured...... In this era, serious injuries and deaths can be basically equated.

Soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, collected the dead, and treated the wounded. The strong smell of blood in the air made Wang Xian nauseate for a while, but he insisted on cleaning the wounds and stopping the bleeding and bandaging the injured ones, which was what he had to do, because the military doctor who accompanied the team was left by him in the bamboo forest hut to take care of Xianyun...... Lingxiao didn't understand it at first, but as soon as Wang Xian explained, she not only started immediately, but also donated all the healing elixirs of Wudang Mountain.

However, the first aid knowledge that Wang Xian learned when he was a volunteer in his previous life was really not on the table, and he sewed the wound in a mess, and people screamed in pain...... But they have been shocked by Zhou Yong.

"Can a wound be sewn up?" Zhou Yong's eyes widened.

"Why not?" Wang Xian found that he could use skin and flesh as clothes, and he couldn't help but be slightly complacent. "It helps the wound heal."

"I see, can you sew it neatly?" Zhou Yong swallowed and foamed, Wang Xian sewed that, it was really miserable.

"It's ugly when it's neat," Wang Xian said with a blushing face: "It's like a centipede......"

"That's ......" Zhou Yong suddenly realized: "My lord is smart" The people heard the injury cry, and they all said that it made sense, and they had already sewn it up, and asked to take it apart and sew it again.

"Let's play, don't make a mess" Wang Xian naturally didn't agree.

The martial arts here are higher, and the number of injuries is a little less, only two are dead and eight are injured. Rao is like this, and by the time Wang Xian sewed and bandaged the wounded, it was already the fourth watch, and he was so tired that he collapsed on the ground and fell asleep.

Zhou Yong hurriedly covered him with the bedding of his fallen brother......

After dawn, there was a letter from the official army, and Uncle Tang really didn't want the corpse, and asked Wang Xian to take them to Zhou Zhentai for disposal.

Wang Xian also got the required information from the official army, it turned out that they were Uncle Tang's vanguard troops, and they were about to survey the terrain for the army, but they ran into the eight men in strong suits...... At the beginning, it was these eight people, and there were no monks, Taoist priests, literati or anything like that

"The purpose of these people is to lure us away, but I didn't expect that the officers and soldiers would come in such a hurry." For breakfast, it was boiled in snow water and added a little salt, and Wang Xian was able to hold the bowl and eat it with relish: "Looking at this situation, the initial judgment was correct, they did not go east, but returned to Pujiang County." ”

"What are we supposed to do?" Zhou Yong and others were finally convinced of Wang Xian.

"Return." Wang Xian pondered for a long time, and Fang said slowly: "We are enough to explain to Lord Zhentai." ”

"Yes." Seeing that his suggestion was so unconstructive, Zhou Yong and the others were a little disappointed, but they also didn't have any good ideas, so they had to second.

After eating, the hunters made stretchers, carried ten corpses and eight wounded companions, and set out on the return journey.

Wang Xian and Lingxiao walked in the front, and neither of them talked much along the way, until Lingxiao finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoxianzi, how do I feel that we are doing bad things?" ”

"Why?" Wang Xian was holding a wooden stick, not because he hurt his foot, but because Zhou Yong was afraid that he would fall, he prepared it for him.

"Those people don't look like bad people." Lingxiao said gloomily: "Bad people can't sing that kind of song." ”

"I pity the gentleman the most for dancing in the middle of the night, the man is as dead as iron, watching the test hand, mending the cracks in the sky......" Wang Xian groaned softly, and his nose was sour. How long has it been since I was touched like this? Or maybe I've ever had such a shock...... His seemingly warm but indifferent heart was hit hard by the eight strong men's death-defying and generous righteousness

"Of course they are not bad people...... Wang Xian replied to the little sister in a low voice: "They are loyal, more noble than all the dignitaries and nobles in this world."

"Then why are we going to kill them?" Lingxiao was even more difficult to accept: "Are we bad people? ”

"We ...... Nor are they bad guys. Wang Xian shook his head, looked at the vast world in the distance, and sighed: "Things in this world are not either good or bad. Since we are involved, we can only be responsible for ourselves, our families, and our duties. The rest...... It doesn't matter so much. ”

"Oh." Lingxiao nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of people are they loyal to?" ”

"I don't know what to do." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "I don't want to know Lu Dao either, I hope that after this time, he can disappear from my world forever." ”

"Listen to what you mean...... Lingxiao's heart is like a crystal, he doesn't understand many things, but he can penetrate people's hearts: "It seems that I hope that person can escape." ”

"Nonsense" Wang Xian glared at her and said, "You want my old life" but did not deny it...... He couldn't understand what it was like, he was trying so hard to find that person, but he didn't want to find him. Maybe it was those eight righteous men who shocked him too much.

When it got dark, the team turned back to the bamboo hut where Xianyun was located, Xianyun was still unconscious, but the people who stayed behind told Wang Xian that Zhou Zhentai had discovered new clues...... In the direction north of the bamboo forest, he found the footprints that had been cleared, just like those found on the mountain, and when he peeled through the snow, he would find the marks left by his feet on the grass.

The people who stayed behind told Wang Xian that Zhou Zhentai had already brought someone to track him down, and Wang Xian and the others lived in the bamboo forest that night, preparing to leave to find Zhou Zhentai the next day.

Before dinner, Wang Xian came to the central room again, and after carefully inspecting the inside and out, he made a new discovery......

Early the next morning, the team set off again, marching along the marks left by Zhou Zhentai, the speed was naturally very fast, and finally caught up with Zhou Xin on the morning of the next day. After reporting the situation to Zhou Zhentai, Zhou Xin nodded slowly and said, "The main master is on this way." ”

"What did you gain from Lord Zhentai?" Wang Xian asked.

"In the past few days, they have used a lot of methods to get rid of me." Zhou Xin said coldly: "But I have seen through it, we have been chasing after them, following them in circles in the mountains and forests." After a pause, he said, "Now we have to speed up the pursuit and force them to jump out of the forest."

Zhou Xin gave an order, and the catchers threw away their burdens, only carrying their weapons and traveling lightly. Wang Xian couldn't help but secretly sweat, what if he slept at night?

But the effect of traveling lightly was still obvious, the marching speed of the team was twice as fast, and Zhou Zhentai was not satisfied, urging from time to time to speed up, and even ordered a night march. What's even more incredible is that Zhou Xin seems to be able to see things in the dark, calmly leading the way in front, and is not afraid of leading the team astray.

Although Wang Xian was surprised, he believed that Zhou Zhentai would have a good move, so he suppressed his doubts and followed the team to hurry. At the fifth watch, Zhou Xin finally ordered to stop advancing, but only gave them time to eat some food, and ordered to extinguish the torches.

After running for days, Ling Xiaorao is physical strength is amazing, and she was a little tired, she couldn't eat more than food, while rubbing her sore legs, she stared at the mountain peak in front of her, and said with some surprise: "What a familiar mountain." ”

"This is Xianyun Peak, have you been here?" Zhou Zhentai's self-confidence comes from his familiarity with the terrain. With his serious character, he naturally won't pin all his hopes on a few hairy boys. At the same time, he himself had secretly surveyed the mountains and ravines here, so he was able to arrive here accurately overnight.

"It turned out to be here" Lingxiao said in surprise: "I have been there with my eldest brother and Wei Queque, and I have also eaten at the Xianyun Temple above."

"They have been forced by us to sleep in the open for several days in a row, and that noble man will definitely not be able to bear it, and he will live here tonight." Zhou Xin said lightly. "They didn't expect us to march overnight, but by this time, they should already know the way."

"So we're here?"

"Wait for them to come down." Zhou Xin squinted at Xianyun Peak, and suddenly whispered: "It's coming"

Wang Xian and Lingxiao followed his gaze, and sure enough, they saw torches lit and slowly descending from the mountain.

"Ambush" Zhou Xin ordered in a low voice, and the catchers immediately dropped the grain and leaned over on both sides of the mountain road.

This is the case in the mountains, which often seem very close, but in fact they are far away, and after a meal, those people enter the ambush circle.

"Don't move" The catchers burst out from both sides of the road, surrounded them, the sky was faintly bright, Wang Xian could already see clearly, it was a group of large and small bulls......

The Taoist priests were taken aback, some people sat on the ground, some people trembled, and an old Taoist priest said in a trembling voice: "Great, king, we are poor monks, and we have no money......

"You are the bandits, we are the fast catchers of the Zhejiang Zhensi Yamen" Zhou Yong shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, all lie on the ground, whoever moves will kill whom" One sentence is full of the old bottom, this guy is born as a bandit.

The Taoist priests were obedient, and they all obediently lay on the ground, and they were tied up strongly.

But a mile behind them, there was a sudden crisp sound of branches snapping, which was very clear in the quiet night sky.

"It's bad, there are still people in the back" Zhou Yong They didn't expect this, but first, they were limited to manpower, and secondly, they didn't expect that they would be so far apart.

"Chasing" Zhou Xin ordered loudly, and Zhou Yong hurriedly led people to chase after him.

"My lord, eighty percent let them run away again" Wang Xian asked Lingxiao to take a closer look at the group of Taoist priests, and found that they were all seen in Baiyun Temple that day, and there was no one to look for.

"Normal." Zhou Xin said disapprerovingly: "They came to the golden cicada shell again, and our number is too small to block the entire mountain." ”

"It would be nice if Uncle Tang's army arrived." Wang Xian whispered.

"If the army comes, it is impossible to touch the people under the mountain to find out." Zhou Xin shook his head and said: "What's more, I didn't expect to catch him this time, we have only one purpose, which is to drive him out of the mountains and forests."
