Chapter 40: Precursors of Split
"Why do you think they won't have people in front?" Tao Piaopiao is still a little confused. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's not that they won't ambush ahead, but they won't ambush Uncle Lin and them along the way. I once talked to Uncle Lin for a while on the way, and he told me that there are many forks in the road ahead, and there are often branches out on the way from Dali to CD. Since the other party arranged for people to follow us from Dali City, it proves that they should only ambush this one person on the first straight road. ”
"We fought for so long before, but the other party still didn't have reinforcements coming, and the leader of the other party didn't want Uncle Lin and them to go forward, as soon as he heard that I let Uncle Lin and them go, he was eager to stop them, both of which can be reflected, there is no ambush on a straight road ahead."
"Then, there is even less likely to be an ambush on the fork in the road, this is not a mythological novel, nor is it a brainless romance, the other party will not rashly divide troops and block all roads without knowing which way we are going to go."
Xiao Hachi pondered for a while, and then spoke: "So, Brother Mu, do you mean that we are safe?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Far from it, although the other party will not divide troops on the short road ahead, but on some of the necessary roads from Dali to CD, they may still set up ambushes." The other side will also be just in case, what if this way can't stop us? Further back, they must have had an arrangement. ”
"And ......" Mu Xiaojiu paused.
"And what?" Tao Piaopiao hurriedly asked.
"Moreover, all of this I said is only based on the fact that there is only one person in front of me who wants to rob the dart, and if there are other people who want to rob the dart, then everything I said before is not true. Uncle Lin and them are also likely to be in danger. ”
Tao Piaopiao suddenly looked at Mu Xiaojiu a little strangely, "Who are you?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu smiled and said, "Since you asked, let's get acquainted with it again, although I think you may have guessed it from my performance and martial arts when you fought before." Disciple in the Lower Peach Blossom Island, Mu Xiaojiu. ”
"Sure enough, it's you." Tao Piaopiao seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, with some playfulness in her expression.
Xiao Ba didn't care about this at this time, he just needed to know that Mu Xiaojiu's martial arts were good, and nothing else had anything to do with him.
"Brother Mu, since there may be danger, why don't I go back to Dali City and report to Mr. Liang and them, and bring some rescuers." Hachi's face looked anxious.
"It's useless." Mu Xiaojiu shook his head, "The other party will definitely set up an ambush near Dali City, once you go back, if it falls into the hands of the other party, I am afraid that you will have to worry about your life." Even, it is possible for the other party to directly use you as a bargaining chip to blackmail us. ”
"Alas, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say, Brother Mu!"
"Hmm, do you know when the next dart of your dart game will depart from Dali City?"
Hearing this, Xiao Bayi thought for a while and said: "Naturally, there are markers, and there should be a dart team before today's unitary time, but they shouldn't take this road, they should start from the West Gate and take another official road." ”
"They don't need to go this way, if they take this road, they might be attacked, but they won't go any other way. Piao Piao, you will set off directly, walk through the mountains and forests, and go to the official road of the West Gate to find the dart team, remember, you must stop halfway, you don't appear at the city gate. Once they are found, have them return to the city as if they had left something behind, and then go to the rescuers. Hachi and I are now going to the ruined temple where Uncle Lin and they will go, leaving marks along the way for you to follow along the way. We must act as soon as possible, too late will change, once the other party fails to find our traces for a long time, it is very likely that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry. ”
Tao Piaopiao nodded, indicating that she had no problem, and Xiaoba was also relieved.
"Alright, if it's all right, let's go now, the sooner we finish these things, the less dangerous the dart team will be."
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the determination in each other's eyes.
……
In a house in Dali City, the four black-clothed men who escaped from Mu Xiaojiu's hands had already lost their disguises at this time, and were standing in front of an old man, looking respectful and a little frightened.
"I'm sorry master, we failed, there are three people in the other party's dart team, all of whom are very powerful, especially a young man in black, and his martial arts are even better."
"Failed?" The old man's face was gloomy, and a pair of cloudy eyes were faintly shining, staring at the four subordinates in front of him, and his expression was like a poisonous snake that wanted to devour, "You know my rules." ”
"Yes, master!" The four men in black gritted their teeth, glanced at each other, and pulled out the long knives at their waists and wiped them on their necks.
As if he was blind to the four corpses on the ground, the old man slowly got up, walked to the door, looked at the sky outside after the heavy rain and early mist, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and after a long time, he suddenly said to himself: "That thing, I must get it, no one can stop me!" ”
……
Along the way, Xiaoba took Mu Xiaojiu all the way from the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, and the heavy rain had stopped at this time, and the speed was not slow, and when he was about to arrive at the broken temple, Mu Xiaojiu estimated from the position of the sun, and it was almost noon now.
As soon as I entered the ruined temple, a commotion came.
"Impossible, there will be no moles in the dart game! I don't know why the enemy is so accurate with the time, but there is definitely no traitor among the people in our game! Uncle Lin's voice was full of anger.
When I went in, Uncle Lin and Jin Hongjun were facing each other.
"That's right, it wasn't the mole in the dart game who did it." Before Mu Xiaojiu arrived, the voice came first, and only after the words fell, he and Xiaoba walked in from the door, "Otherwise, we will face more enemies." ”
"Hey, little brother Mu, why are there only the two of you, where did Piao Piao go?"
"I asked Piao Piao to move the rescuers." Mu Xiaojiu replied softly.
Jin Hongjun said in a weird manner on the side: "Tut-tut, it's really amazing, as a man, first let Piaopiao a girl stay with you to fight against you, and then let Piaopiao go to the rescue alone." ”
Who knew that Mu Xiaojiu didn't pay attention to him at all, but walked next to Uncle Lin and asked, "Uncle Lin, do you have any thoughts on today's attack?" ”
Uncle Lin sighed: "I'm afraid there is a problem with the cargo of this dart." ”
Mu Xiaojiuqi said: "Why do you think it's a problem with the goods?" ”
"Originally, this batch of goods sent to the Qi family was entrusted to us by the Qi family's people in Dali, and it was a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings. Therefore, before leaving, the head of the dart will say that this batch of goods is worth a lot, let's beware of some bandits and other people to rob the darts. But the black-clothed men who attacked us just now have sharp swordsmanship, tacit cooperation, and a degree of advance and retreat, they will definitely not be ordinary people, but they are very similar to the dead soldiers cultivated by some big families. But how could such a big family be interested in these ordinary antiques, calligraphy and paintings? So I think it's likely that the Qi family is hiding the contents of the goods. Uncle Lin frowned, looking very worried.
"Well, we don't have a good way to do it now, I suggest waiting in this ruined temple first, and I and Xiaoba have left marks along the way, so that the chief dart head can find us when someone comes to pick us up. It's just that I'm still a little worried, I'm afraid that if we wait here for a long time, the enemy will be angry and search, and find us, and then it will be another bitter battle. Mu Xiaojiu said what he thought.
Jin Hongjun on the side interjected again.
"Hmph, I think you're probably an inner ghost, deliberately letting us stay here so that the enemy can find us and block us in this ruined temple. Previously, you also let Piao Piao girl go to move the rescuers alone, I'm afraid it was also to let her fall into the net. ”
Mu Xiaojiu's eyes were cold, his feet moved, and he quickly flashed in front of Jin Hongjun, and before Jin Hongjun could react, he was hit by Mu Xiaojiu's orchid brush hand and pointed at the acupoint.
If it was in normal times, Jin Hongjun might still be able to block Mu Xiaojiu's offensive, but now that he is seriously injured and has difficulty moving, he naturally can't prevent this.
"If you say some more, I'll point you to death next time." Mu Xiaojiu looked at Jin Hongjun's frightened face, and his face was angry, "If you agree, just blink your eyes." ”
Jin Hongjun blinked hurriedly.
Mu Xiaojiu raised his hand to unlock his acupoint and looked at Uncle Lin.
Uncle Lin looked hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he finally made a decision: "Let's not wait here, let's take a good rest first, it's noon, let's wait until about the hour to set off, continue to move forward, and leave marks along the way." ”
Mu Xiaojiu looked at Uncle Lin's dodging gaze, and sighed unconsciously, knowing that Uncle Lin still had a mustard in his heart after all, and he was doubting his identity.
Since this is the case, there is no way, after all, Uncle Lin is the leader of the team this time.
He turned around and saw that Hachi seemed to be deliberately defending himself, so he hurriedly stopped him with his eyes.
It's useless to argue, Uncle Lin has begun to doubt himself now, but because of his martial arts, it's not good to say anything, if Xiaoba suddenly speaks for himself, then Uncle Lin is likely to suspect his identity. When the time comes, the team will be divided and the people will not be aligned, and I am afraid that it will be more likely to cause accidents.
Seeing that the people around him were seriously injured, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't bear it, so he simply found a corner to sit down and began to close his eyes and recuperate. At the same time, I was thinking in my heart.
Now there are only nine people left in the dart team, and if you move forward, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous if you are attacked. It's just that since Uncle Lin insists on moving forward, he has to try to think of some ways, after all, he can't bear to leave.
