Li Jingting immediately received the order, and with more than 500 brocade guards, they acted separately to investigate the whereabouts of Zhang Xianzhong's troops everywhere.

Qin Shuhuai believes that the entire Wenxi County is now surrounded by a large army, and all roads out of the county have been blocked, and Zhang Xianzhong is unable to fly.

So he let the army stand in place and wait for the report.

Let's say that Zhang Xiao and Zu Dashou (Zu Dashou and Qin Shuhuai, 4,000 cavalrymen, did not "return" to Yuan Chonghuan for the time being) each brought 10,000 cavalry, and after outflanking Wenxi County on the left and right wings, they were also waiting for Qin Shuhuai's order.

The three-way army just did this and waited.

After an hour, Li Jingting sent someone to report, but still no trace of Zhang Xianzhong was found.

And Zhang Xiao and Zu Dashou did not report any news.

Only then did Qin Shuhuai realize that the situation was not quite right.

I can't help but wonder: Where did Zhang Xianzhong go?

At this time, Qiu Dali came over and said, "Shuhuai, is it true that Zhang Xianzhong, this kid hasn't run away yet, but is hiding somewhere in the mountains and hasn't come out at all?"

Lai San'er immediately said, "Impossible, we searched very carefully, the mountain is indeed empty, only a large empty camp." If you don't believe it, you can ask Chen Jing. ”

Chen Jing also immediately said, "Helper, I have indeed searched all over it, but no." ”

Qin Shuhuai thought for a while and said, "You two will each bring a thousand soldiers to search, and you will have to drag the net to search, and don't let go of any caves and valleys!"

Lai San'er and Chen Jing immediately said, "The subordinates receive the order." ”

And he ordered a thousand men to go up the mountain.

Qin Shuhuai believes that Yuantou Mountain is very large, and Lai San'er and Chen Jing only brought 30 people each just now, so they may not be able to search clearly. Especially when they saw the empty camp, they psychologically believed that Zhang Xianzhong had already run away, so the search behind them was definitely not careful.

Otherwise, there are more than 10,000 troops, how can they say that they will disappear if they don't see it?

Could it be that someone can't report the news?

It shouldn't be possible.

Now Zhang Xianzhong is almost a lost dog, who is so stupid to give him his life? Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong has been cowering in Jinnan for a long time, how can he plant spies in the martial arts coalition army?

At this moment, Qiu Dali ran over happily and said, "Shuhuai, the people of the White Lotus Sect are here!"

The White Lotus Sect is Qin Shuhuai's intelligence network, and now everyone knows about it.

Qin Shuhuai was also overjoyed, and said, "Hurry up and let him come over!"

The person who came was a thin young man, and when he saw Qin Shuhuai, he hurriedly said, "The subordinate White Lotus Sect Yuncheng Branch Qi Erniu pays a visit to the sect leader. ”

Qin Shuhuai called him up, and then carefully checked his identity documents, and then asked, "What is the matter with coming to this seat?"

Qi Erniu said, "Sect Leader Qiqi, his subordinates have been mixed in Zhang Xianzhong's team, and they are a school official. About two hours ago, Zhang Xianzhong found out that the sect leader led a large army to beg for it, so he hurriedly led the army to flee westward, probably wanting to cross Shaanxi to Gansu and join the Demon Sect!"

Qin Shuhuai frowned, he knew it two hours ago?

Or is there really a spies on the coalition forces?

This is, Qiu Dali asked, "Why did you report it now?"

Qi Erniu said, "There are constantly people who want to surrender to the imperial court, so Zhang Xianzhong is watching it closely." It's not easy to get out of the bottom!"

Qin Shuhuai immediately said, "Qi Erniu, you lead the way for the army, let's chase it immediately." ”

He said to Meng Wei again, "Old Meng, send someone to inform Zu Dashou and Zhang Xiao that Zhang Xianzhong is going west! By the way, call Lai San'er and Chen Jing down as well." ”

Meng Wei hurriedly said, "Yes, my subordinates will do it!"

Immediately, the army quickly retracted, and then directly pulled out, pursuing westward.

Qin Shuhuai thinks that Zhang Xianzhong is now in a panic.

Because it has to pass near Hancheng to the west, although most of the heavy troops in Shaanxi are now gathered at the junction with Sichuan, it is impossible for Hong Chengchou, an important town like Hancheng, not to let go of a large army.

However, considering that he has nowhere to go now, he probably can only seem to take a fight and go to the Demon Sect.

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai sent a few horse sentries to Hancheng first, and asked the Hancheng guards to send troops to intercept Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

As soon as the army walked out of five or six miles, Lai San'er rode a horse and chased after him.

After running to Qin Shuhuai's side, he shouted, "Hey, this old boy Zhang Xianzhong is fast enough! ”

Qiu Dali quipped, "Then did you find anything?"

"Find a fart! After looking for a long time, I found a cave. Go in and see the bottom. Having said that, if Meng Wei hadn't asked people to report Zhang Xianzhong's whereabouts and found them, I really wanted to go in and take a look!"

Meng Wei quipped, "Hehe, what, do you think it's a blessed land, where can you find immortal immortals?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Qin Shuhuai felt that something was wrong.

Lai San'er asked, "You said there is a cave in the mountain?"

"Well, it's deep. However, there are no 10,000 people hidden. ”

Meng Wei interjected, "What if there are several caves like this?"

Qin Shuhuai reined in his horse suddenly, and then said to Meng Hu, "Bring Qi Erniu to me." ”

Meng Hu didn't say a word, ran directly to the front of the team, and brought Qi Erniu, who was leading the way in front.

Qin Shuhuai asked, "Qi Erniu, where did the guest come from?"

This is the joint code of the White Lotus Sect, which Qin Shuhuai used before when he connected with the White Lotus Sect in Shangluo and other places.

The correct answer is: relatives from home.

Then Qin Shuhuai asked again, which relative it was, and the other party replied: Vacuum hometown, no biological mother, where relatives are relatives, where brothers are brothers.

Qi Erniu was stunned.

He obviously knew that this clueless sentence was a joint code.

But he couldn't answer.

After a long while, he stammered, "Sect Master, guests, guests are coming from afar!"

Qin Shuhuai smiled coldly and said, "You are not small, even your father-in-law dares to deceive." ”

Qi Erniu was slightly stunned, and then sighed.

"Hehe, Grandpa Guo is really discerning and admires it. ”

Everyone was shocked.

Is this Qi Erniu fake?

Qiu Dali immediately reacted and said to Meng Wei, "Old Meng, go and give an order to stop the army!"

Meng Wei answered, and immediately stepped forward.

Qin Shuhuai asked, "Qi Erniu, you dare to come to this plan to divert the tiger from the mountain even if you know that you are dying, and my father admires your courage." Tell me, how did you get this identity document of the White Lotus Sect, and why did the description of the person holding the statue be similar to yours?"

Qi Erniu smiled disdainfully, "There are a lot of White Lotus Sects mixed in the team, but unfortunately one was found below." The description on the text is not exhaustive, and the biggest feature of this Qi Erniu is just a mole on the chin. Wouldn't it be better to make one yourself?"

As he spoke, "Qi Erniu" removed the mole on his chin.

The army stopped, and Qiu Dali came to ask what to do. Qin Shuhuai waved his hand and motioned for the army to return to Yuantou Mountain.

Then he said to "Qi Erniu", "So, is Zhang Xianzhong really hiding in the cave?"

"Qi Erniu" said, "Grandpa Guo will go and see for himself?"

"Don't you want to atone for your sins and leave yourself a way to live?" Qin Shuhuai asked calmly.

"Hehe", "Qi Erniu" smiled calmly, "Grandpa Guo remembers, I don't call the lamp, although I am not as good as your hero, but I am more or less a man." I will not betray my brother. ”

Qin Shuhuai nodded appreciatively, "Bengong remembers, you are a man, but it's a pity that you followed the wrong Ren." ”

Then, he turned the horse's head and walked back.

Before leaving, he said to Meng Hu, "Meng Hu, just give him a ride and give him a good time." ”

But he didn't light the lamp and laughed, "Don't bother with the grandfather!"

After saying that, he slapped his hands on his head, and when he landed, he bled and fell off his horse.

The army quickly withdrew and again surrounded Roundhead Mountain.
