Ran over quickly, lifted the two out of the water, and looked closely at the faces of the two of them resembling Xu Hongru and Chen Canyu, but Chang Wei wiped a few handfuls on their faces, and the beard fell off. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chang Wei, who was used to playing with the disguise technique, could easily distinguish the true identities of the two, "Stand-in!"

Where is the real body? The sharpshooter just now was definitely Chen Canyu, but the Xu Hongru who didn't make a move, and didn't even let out his momentum, was probably a fake! The real Xu Hongru should have taken advantage of the chaos to run away the moment the gun rang out!

Chang Wei slashed the boat with a few swords and turned back sharply, and the soldiers saw the cold expression on his face, and the cheers stopped abruptly.

"These two are fake, go back, keep looking, you must dig Xu Hongru out!" Looking at Chang Wei's cold face, the soldier silently carried his gun and rushed towards the way he came.

The boat and stand-in in front of him made Chang Wei understand: Xu Hongru didn't come to rest when he entered the village, he originally wanted to find a boat from the village to go to the lake, because he had become a frightened bird.

Judging from all the intelligence, Xu Hongru initially arranged a stand-in to make a false appearance of escaping to the Yimeng Mountains, which attracted a large number of officers and soldiers to pursue them. However, the process of moving to Nanyang Lake was not so easy, Yuan Keli's Xicheng Defense Area and Wuding's Nancheng Defense Area were not so easy, not to mention that there were musketeers from the Volunteer Battalion who dropped out behind Chang Wei, in order to get rid of them, Xu Hongru asked a remnant army to make signs of attacking Jining.

Jining is an important town on the canal, it is the forefront of the encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect, and it has never fallen when the White Lotus Sect is at its peak.

Although it is impossible to capture Jining with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, even if the peripheral counties, villages and towns are damaged, it will have an impact on Yuan Keli's official reputation and future. After all, he had just recovered, and all the merits he could rely on came from the extermination of the White Lotus Sect, and there could be no accident at this time, otherwise the eunuch party would definitely not let go of the opportunity to attack him.

Under this consideration, Yuan Keli decisively transferred the most powerful troops under Sun Yuanhua and Chang Wei back to defense, so that Xu Hongru's escape to Nanyang Lake was opened. But even so, Xu Hongru kept evading the pursuit of the officials and soldiers along the way, and when he arrived here, he was not exhausted, at least he was exhausted, which also explained why he came half a day later than Chang Wei.

So, after setting off the fireworks flag by the lake, he turned around and went into the village. Since this place is very close to the stronghold of Nanyang Town, Xu Hongru is by no means a stranger, he must know that the river here leads to Nanyang Lake, and he also knows that boats can be found in the village.

What he didn't expect was that Chang Wei's musket team had been waiting here for a long time, and as soon as the urging gunfire rang out, Xu Hongru dodged with the skills of the top realm, and no one could see where Xu Hongru had gone in the night filled with gunsmoke.

Chang Wei intuitively thought that the person who was protected was Xu Hongru, and now it seems that that guy was the stand-in who was killed. Where is Xu Hongru really? Chang Wei remembered the dozen or so knights who had fled to the Baima River in the north of the village at the beginning, and they also ran back to make a protective gesture after their stand-ins returned to the village.

Based on the judgment at the time, Chang Wei took it for granted that they had come back to protect Xu Hongru, but now it seems that their return just means that Xu Hongru has left the village.

Chen Canyu's persistence and the escape of the stand-in are all to buy time for Xu Hongru's escape, and this plan is almost perfect. It's a pity that Chang Wei caught up with the boat, if he waited for the boat to enter Nanyang Lake a little later, then Chang Wei must have thought that Xu Hongru was on the boat, so it seems that Xu Hongru's traces are obvious.

At this time, Yan Ruyu also reacted, "Master, Xu Hongru should have fled outside the village." ”

Tang Jinyi added: "To be exact, it should be at the mouth of the White Horse River, he is waiting for the boat!"

Hurried back to the courtyard next to the avenue, leaving Cheng Laohu and most of the slow musketeers to search the village in case Xu Hongru and Chen Canyu slipped back again, Chang Wei took the master and Yin An and other sharpshooters to run back to the mouth of the White Horse River on horseback.

The rumbling horses' hooves shook the waters of the White Horse River, but the twenty or thirty knights galloping back and forth searched all the nearby places and did not see half a figure, Chang Wei rushed to the lake with his gun and the masters, but only saw the yellow sand and the calm lake.

The beach was empty, and there were not even a few reeds, and the sand nests that could hide people had been trodden by the knights. Could it be that Xu Hongru will fly away from the sky? There is no other place to hide in this kind of place except when he goes into the water, but now the lake is cold and biting, even if the top master stays in the water for a long time, his body will stiffen and lose his combat effectiveness, and Xu Hongru who goes into the water is equivalent to abandoning his martial arts.

Moreover, Chang Wei searched back and forth here for two quarters of an hour, and if Xu Hongru really went into the water, he would have to swim into the middle of the lake to avoid his sight, but this was also unrealistic, such a big lake was not a small river, and it was easy to get lost. His fireworks flag was issued at the mouth of the White Horse River, and it would be in vain to wait for the boats in Nanyang Lake to come and not find him.

Just when Chang Wei was a little restless, a large, two small and three double-headed clippers suddenly appeared on the lake at the end of his sight, the boats kept adjusting their sails, and dozens of large boats on both sides of the boat gang rowed as if they were about to fly, and soon Chang Wei saw that the three double-headed boats were followed by three big sand boats, and the sailors and soldiers on this fleet added up to at least a thousand people just looking at the scale.

"Xu Hongru's helper is here!" Chang Wei glanced at the lake to the south, where the waves were as flat as a mirror, the moon was bright, and there was no shadow of the Volunteer Battalion fleet at all.

"Yin An, blow the trumpet for the brothers to assemble, let's prepare to retreat. Originally, he was going to wait for the fleet here, but the enemy arrived, and maybe he would attack them with more people to vent his anger, Chang Wei immediately made the decision to avoid the front for the time being.

The fleet approached quickly, and the figure faintly visible at the bow of the ship was full of flickering cold light, and the other party obviously spotted them by the lake, and shouted in unison, and the thunderous shouting was like a rainbow.

With the sound of the rapid horn, the dense sound of horses' hooves sounded in the village, Cheng Laohu and the others rushed over, Yin An led his men to meet them, and led them to turn around and run to the shore.

Chang Wei and the others quietly reined in their horses and stood by the lake, waiting for Yin An and Cheng Laohu to converge, before they looked at the lake unwillingly, and were about to turn the horse's head and leave, suddenly, the shallow yellow sand covered by the lake scattered in all directions, and a thin man suddenly showed his figure.

Before the man could fully jump, he burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Damn Chang Wei, no matter how treacherous you are, you can't imagine that I'm right under your nose, right?"

The laughter did not fall, the man seemed to be stuck in the neck, and under the bright moonlight, the man's narrow eyes were filled with a stunned and frightened light, he didn't expect Chang Wei and the others to stand in place.

Chen Canyu! He was hiding here! Chang Wei didn't even scream, and immediately raised the musket in his hand!

Bang! At the same time as the gunshots rang out, another tall and burly figure jumped up under the yellow sand in front of the side.

All the masters shouted in unison: "Xu Hongru!" (to be continued.) )
