Chapter 180: Watching the Tiger from the Mountain
The chaos in Yancheng is abnormal, although it has entered the curfew at this time, but many characters dressed in rivers and lakes are still walking through the streets, I am afraid that tonight is destined to be not peaceful, and the curfew is destined to lose any meaning tonight,
Maybe from a higher and farther place will see more clearly, such as the top of the hill where Linlang County is located, he can clearly see some changes in Yancheng,
The dense crowd was constantly moving, and it could be seen from the lights that these people were all converging towards the west gate, and soon he gave up the suspicion that had just risen, but turned his head and said to the dwarf man beside him,
"How's your staff?"
The dwarf man named Meng Zhen nodded with a serious expression and said, "Please rest assured, Lord County Guard, I have surrounded the water outside Yancheng, and no matter what accidents happen, I will not let that kid escape from here,"
The dwarf's confident appearance of speaking is particularly disgusted by Linlang, he has always been cautious in doing things, and only when he was drunk with Xing Ye, the "drunken maniac" in Shangpengcheng, did he really suffer some dark losses.
"How are your staff?"
Hearing Linlang ask this question again, the middle-aged dwarf man showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, hesitated for a moment and said: "The entire Yancheng has been completely surrounded by it, but my people are also focused on the south and east, I didn't expect this guy to lurk out of the West Gate,"
Linlang's whole face was tense, his eyes were staring at the changes in Yancheng, although he was very confident in his plan, but he was not sure that everything would develop according to his guesses, he had to make a judgment here, to judge whether the changes in Yancheng were really his own schemes, whether there was an element of Xing Ye being drunk in it, and to predict in which direction Zuo Feng would break through,
At this moment, in the alley where Ding Hao and the others were captured, Xing Ye's face was full of impatience, and he said coldly: "You'd better tell me happily, where that brother of yours has gone, I hope you can be clear, now his every move has fallen into Linlang's trap, if you still want to see the living Zuo Feng, tell me his plan immediately,"
The three people who were tied upside down, no one said anything, Zuo Hou looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, his mouth turned his head to the side, obviously he didn't trust Xing Ye so much, Qin Xiao had some concerns in his heart, but he also didn't speak, only Ding Hao's eyes flickered, as if he was struggling in pain in his heart,
If his master threatened with life and death, or talked about some loyalty and filial piety, with his obedient character, he couldn't listen to half a word at all, Xing Yedrunk also knew him very well, and he didn't mention half a word of those nonsense, but came up to help him analyze the trap, and then completely lost the decision to his apprentice.
Ding Hao's eyes flickered and hesitated for a while, before he spit out the two words "north" with difficulty, Xing Yedrunk was not surprised to hear these two words, but showed a hint of ridicule, and coldly replied to him with the four words "self-made smart",
Xing Yedrunk these four words are not untargeted, Zuo Feng chose to break through from the West Gate is to exceed everyone's expectations, the East Gate is the best choice for him to leave, followed by the South Gate, the North Gate, and the West Gate are the two places that should not be chosen, but Zuo Feng chose the West Gate,
And after the matter was revealed, he also made a plan in advance, and this plan was of course discussed in advance by several people, since Simon had exceeded everyone's expectations, then going north was even more incomprehensible.
From Yancheng, you can go to the Xuanwu Empire to the east, to the south you can go to the Fengtian Dynasty and the Ancient Wilderness Empire, to the west is the direction of the East County City and the Licheng, and to the north is the location of Pengcheng and the Spiral Tower.
But there is another point, that is, leaving Yancheng and going north, it is equivalent to going deep into the hinterland of the Yelin Empire, which is obviously not a wise choice for Zuo Feng who wants to leave Yelin.
But this kind of escape plan is really not very smart, once he understands Zuo Feng's idea of choosing to leave from the West Gate, then his further plan is not difficult to guess, and Xing Yedrunk is not the only one who has the same idea, Linlang, who is ambushed outside the city at this time, also thinks the same,
Turning around and glancing coldly at the two people behind him, he turned his gaze to Yancheng again, and said: "Each group only needs to leave two or three people, control the original monitoring range, draw out the other ambush people, and quickly assemble in the west and north directions,"
As soon as this order was spoken, the two golden-armored warriors immediately looked at each other with puzzled faces, and one gold-armored warrior hesitated for a moment, and then he had the courage to say: "Lord Commander, if that person chooses to flee from his position, we will transfer all the personnel, wouldn't it become very passive, it is better to ......"
"Hmph, you know a fart,"
Linlang, who was dressed in a green shirt, turned his head and scolded coldly, but he didn't have the leisure to explain more, the dwarf Meng Zhen who was standing next to Linlang, his eyes rolled as if he was thinking about some people, and suddenly there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Hehe" smiled and said to the two gold-armored warriors,
"Do you know why we're in such a hurry to catch that boy?"
The golden-armored warrior replied without hesitation, "Because the Ten Elders, as well as An Xiong and Xing Yedrunk, are also staring at that young man,"
Meng Zhen nodded and said: "So this time to capture that kid, there is a great possibility that you will encounter those characters in Yancheng, those people who are drawn out are not used to deal with that young man, a young man who is injured, no matter how good he is, if he encounters two or three martial artists of the same rank, he will definitely be able to capture him,"
After Meng Zhen finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Linlang, and saw that Linlang's face eased slightly, and he immediately had the confidence to say to a masked man beside him: "Pass down the order, according to the orders of the county guard, except for two people left in each observation position, everyone else will follow and assemble to the west and north of Yancheng,"
On this hill outside Yancheng, one after another orders were issued, and the same scene also appeared in Yancheng, Xing Yezui and Lu Yun also issued several orders, and groups of warriors gathered into a huge team in Yancheng, and then quickly rushed out from the west gate,
On the plain outside Yancheng, Zuo Feng's thin figure was almost lying on the ground, he had already sensed the smell of conspiracy wafting in the air, but he just relied on his feelings to make him give up his intention to go north, but the feeling that the south gave him was not strong.
At this moment, the west gate of Yancheng, which was more than two miles away behind him, suddenly came with a low sound, and the entire city gate began to open slowly.
To Zuo Feng's secret relief, the countless figures and torches that rushed out of the city gate were neatly divided into two teams, one team headed north, and the other team rushed straight to the west, it seemed that they wanted to enclose this large area in it.
If Zuo Feng hadn't changed his original plan and headed north after leaving Yancheng, he would have fallen into the encirclement of these people now, just when Zuo Feng was about to lower his body and leave here as soon as possible, countless torches suddenly lit up at the edge of the plain, and countless figures were also revealed in the dense forest.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Feng's heart tightened, and he finally guessed the reason why he was exposed in Yancheng, these people waiting in the dense forest had obviously been arranged here a long time ago, the purpose was to wait for the rabbits, and immediately fall into their ambush after he left the city in a hurry,
Countless torches in the dense forest shined, although I can't see the specific number of people in the dense forest, but it can be judged that there are many more people than Yancheng out, these people rushed out of the dense forest, and surrounded from the edge of the plain in the direction of Yancheng, and the group of Yancheng is also divided into two roads, west and north.
The group of people from Yancheng were a little surprised by these people who appeared in the dense forest, and the team's action was delayed for a while, but someone in the team immediately gave a loud order, and then the team moved forward again, both sides were like fans, and the two wings quickly went first, and then followed up in the middle,
Both groups were rushing forward quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour the team made contact, the first to make contact with the two wings, and the team behind them was still slowly advancing here, and these people would carefully search the places they passed,
Suddenly, there was chaos in the west of Yancheng, and by the light of the fire, it could be seen that there seemed to be friction between the two groups there, and even someone could be faintly seen injured and fell to the ground.
A few people standing on the city wall immediately looked at that side with solemn faces, and Linlang's face in the dense forest was also extremely ugly, Xing Yedrunk on the city wall saw the moment the chaos happened, he couldn't help but leave An Xiong beside him, the team over there was a person sent by his city lord's mansion, he subconsciously thought that this was An Xiong secretly playing ghosts, but he didn't say a word,
Both sides know that once friction occurs here, it will not do any good to both sides, and will only bring better conditions for Zuo Feng's escape, Xing Yezui believes that before Zuo Feng's trace is found, Linlang should also restrain his subordinates and not have friction with their group of people,
In this dark night, the people on both sides are already very nervous, and if there is a battle, it will immediately spread to the whole area, and this kind of fighting will immediately escalate, and even make these people forget the orders they received when they left the city,
"It seems that we have to go over and have a look, otherwise this battle will be out of control, and it will be difficult for us to explain to the empire," although everyone had already guessed that those people were led by Xing Yedrunk, but after all, these people still belonged to the Yelin Empire, and what they lost in the end was the strength of Dongjun,
After Xing Yedrunk finished speaking, he glanced back at the Ten Elders who had been silent, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and after a slight hesitation, the Ten Elders spoke: "Call the Flying Demon Beast, everyone go over and take a look,"
