Two fast horses were galloping on the official road. The two people riding on the horses were Lu Shaolin and Xiao Yao.
When the two finally arrived at the woods where Lu Shaolin attacked Ding Hong, it was almost midnight.
Fortunately, God is kind today, and a half-moon has risen in the sky, and I can barely see some shadows.
Lu Shaolin and Xiao Yao are ready to start their search from here.
In order to prevent the search areas from overlapping, Lu Shaolin pulled out the knife from his waist, drew graphics on the ground, and explained to Xiao Yao.
Lu Shaolin's method is very simple, that is, taking this place as the center of the circle, the two of them will go around in circles to look for it.
This forest is so big that Lu Shaolin alone might not be able to walk through it until dawn tomorrow.
After dividing their respective areas of responsibility, Lu Shaolin said to Xiao Yao: "Let's get started."
Then, regardless of the consumption of their internal energy, the two of them opened up their senses to the maximum and began to walk quickly in the woods.
After everyone who practices martial arts reaches a certain level, they can possess the ability of [Martial Arts Sense], but this ability has different strengths and weaknesses, and different functions.
No matter what kind of perception it is, sensing the breath of a living person is the most basic ability.
If a living person wants to avoid perception, he needs to shield his breath.
Ding Hong has been seriously injured. He should not be able to completely eliminate his aura. What Lu Shaolin and Ding Hong are fighting for now is time.
…
Xiao Yao was wandering around the forest using the [Dragon Subduing Magic]. He never expected to meet that man in Luoyang City. The man who was very optimistic about him and asked him if he was willing to join Dongchang.
Today, facing Xiao Yao who was hesitant, Lu Shaolin, who was in urgent need of help, persuaded Xiao Yao with one sentence: "Actually, I am from King Cheng."
In fact, I am from King Cheng.
But I am a dog under the eunuchs.
For the ideal in my heart...
Lu Shaolin didn't say the last two sentences, but Xiao Yao already understood them.
Xiao Yao, who had despaired of this world, chose to join without hesitation.
It was a bit cold at night, and Xiao Yao's body became warmer and hotter as he walked.
For the first time in so many days, Xiao Yao felt that his soul had returned to his body.
If a martial artist joins the imperial court, he will be shamed by his fellow martial artists.
Joining the six gates is even more of a scum for those in the martial arts world.
However, Dongchang, which even people from six doors can puff out their chests and curse loudly, really has no worse reputation than it.
Whether in the martial arts or among the people, the reputation of Dongchang is far better than that of the Demon Cult, and it is simply notorious.
Xiao Yao knew that the moment he got on the horse, he broke with the Beggar Clan, Hall Master Li, and his martial arts colleagues. From now on, Xiao Yao would be a "castrated dog" that everyone yelled at.
But, what does this mean?
Xiao Yao felt like there was a ball of fire burning in his heart. As long as he could overthrow this world that devours people and never sees the light of day, it would be enough to burn me to ashes.
So what!!
…
Although Xiao Yao is not well-known, he is actually ranked tenth in this year's martial arts rookie list.
As the direct disciple of Ke Jianglong, the elder of the Beggar Clan, Xiao Yao is the most outstanding rookie in the entire Beggar Clan. This is also the most important factor for Lu Shaolin to try every means to win over Xiao Yao.
For Lu Shaolin, he can recruit a large group of people with a wave of his hand. He does not lack people, but he lacks people with strong abilities.
In Hangzhou, after Lu Shaolin and Xiao Yao got along for a while, Lu Shaolin discovered that this poor beggar was really secretly attracted by Mingzhu. Xiao Yao was first-rate in terms of wisdom, knowledge, and martial arts.
The best thing is that Xiao Yao is very suitable for Lu Shaolin's recruitment conditions: "like-minded".
This "ambition" does not mean to have great ambitions for the world, but to identify with King Cheng from the bottom of his heart.
First of all, you must have this sense of identity, so that in the days to come your mind will be strong enough to remain loyal in various difficulties.
After all, not many people can bear the title of gelded dog.
Of course, although some people who work for money don't care about reputation, the loyalty of such people is too unreliable.
What he did was something that would make him lose his head in a minute. When Lu Shaolin chose to go offline, he was extremely careful and serious. This was because he was taking responsibility for himself.
So, even the boss and third boss of the Haisha Gang don't know Lu Shaolin's hidden identity.
Because Lu Shaolin felt that with Xiong Tianba's brains and Shi Yi's character, once they knew his true identity, he would be dragged into the water sooner or later.
Lu Shaolin, who has three identities, only allowed the eldest and third son to see the most superficial one.
It was a God-given opportunity for Lu Shaolin to meet Xiao Yao in Luoyang City today, so Lu Shaolin, who had already revealed his second identity to Xiao Yao, revealed his third identity to Xiao Yao.
As expected, when Xiao Yao heard Lu Shaolin's words, he got on his horse without saying a word.
Originally, Lu Shaolin planned to drag his injured body back to the woods, and then try his luck to see if he could find Ding Hong before dawn. If he failed, he would think of other ways.
This is also the most painful part for double agents. Many times, they clearly need help urgently, but they can only solve it by themselves.
Because you don't know who to go to for help.
For example, Lu Shaolin could only ask Huang Xiaoshi to check Ding Hong's information, but he did not dare to ask Huang Xiaoshi to help search for people.
A key point here is that Lu Shaolin was aware that Huang Xiaoshi was more important than himself in Bai Jiuchi's layout.
That is to say, if Lu Shaolin asked Huang Xiaoshi to do this, no matter whether it was successful or not, but if Huang Xiaoshi was exposed, he would just wait to find someone to collect the body.
Many people only think that Lu Shaolin is a fancy young man, but they don't think about how the Jinfeng Escort Agency went from an agency on the verge of bankruptcy to such a large scale in less than three to five years.
…
Xiao Yao is in good condition now, and his strength is far superior to Lu Shaolin. With Xiao Yao joining, the efficiency of the operation has more than doubled.
I saw Xiao Yao turning on his perception to the maximum, covering a huge dense forest.
Xiao Yao was not in a hurry to run around.
This is Xiao Yao's first task when he joins Dongchang. It can also be regarded as a certificate of recognition. This needs to be done carefully.
Xiao Yao thought carefully about what Lu Shaolin said along the way.
At noon, Lu Shaolin suddenly jumped up and attacked Ding Hong. The unsuspecting Ding Hong was stabbed more than ten times in an instant.
As a result, Lu Shaolin's killing blow was blocked by the iron plate and failed to cut in. Ding Hong desperately struck out with a palm, hitting Lu Shaolin's heart. Lu Shaolin was almost knocked out of breath by this slap.
By the time Lu Shaolin regained his breath, Ding Hong had disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Yao had carefully inspected the scene just now. There were some blood stains on the ground, which should have been left when Lu Shaolin attacked Ding Hong.
There was only one spot of blood, the surrounding area was clean.
This shows that Ding Hong has some secret method that can suppress his injuries in a short time, so he not only escaped, but also left no trace of blood.
Xiao Yao knew that all the secret techniques that could suppress injuries would not last too long. If he put himself in Ding Hong's shoes, after injuring Lu Shaolin and escaping, he had only two options.
The first way is to escape while suppressing the injury, as far away as possible.
If Ding Hong had chosen this method, he would have disappeared long ago. It would be useless for him and Lu Shaolin to turn over the territory here.
But there are two problems with this method. The first point is that Ding Hong's injury is only temporarily suppressed. Once the wound bursts out, the blood flowing out will become a new clue for the tracker. Lu Shaolin was injured less than Ding Hong, and it would be a matter of time to catch up with him.
.
The second point is that Lu Shaolin has repeatedly emphasized that Ding Hong was seriously injured. After suffering extremely serious fatal injuries, he still tried his best to escape, and he would die.
Therefore, Xiao Yao believes that Ding Hong should choose the second method, which is to hide not far away and wait for rescue.
Lu Shaolin also agreed with this judgment.
Therefore, Lu Shaolin took Xiao Yao back here to carry out a carpet-like search.
However, Xiao Yao's current judgment goes one step further: Ding Hong did not run far away, and the reason why Lu Shaolin did not search was not because he thought his search range was too small, but because Lu Shaolin accidentally let Ding Hong hide while searching.
.
Therefore, Xiao Yao's current strategy is not to be too fast, but to be careful.
Xiao Yao changed Lu Shaolin's hurry, and he seemed to be strolling in the dense forest.
After walking for a while, Xiao Yao seemed to sense something and stopped.
After standing there for a while, Xiao Yao turned his head and looked at a bush on the side.
This is an extremely short bush, with not even a few leaves. Even if it is hiding from a dog, it can be discovered. There is no way it can hide a big living person.
But Xiao Yao, who was now using maximum perception, seemed to hear a heavy breathing sound just now.
Xiao Yao turned around and walked towards the bush. When he was ten steps away from the bush, Xiao Yao heard a long breathing.
Found it.
Xiao Yao said loudly to the bushes: "Come out, I have found you."
After waiting for a few breaths, there was no movement in the bushes.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yao was not yelling at anyone. He took out a few "dog-beating stones" from his arms, and then threw them towards the bushes.
"Puff puff puff"
All the stones hit hard objects, but the person in the bush remained motionless.
I don't know if this is called calmness or calmness, but Huang He's heart is not dead. Xiao Yao mentioned that the other party would suddenly become vigilant, and while channeling his internal energy, he walked slowly towards the bushes.
When he was only three steps away from the bush, Xiao Yao slowly raised his palm.
No matter what kind of living creature is hidden in the bushes, if Xiao Yao's [Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms] hits it, it will probably die.
Just when Xiao Yao was about to take the shot, a man's voice came from the bushes: "Are you from the Beggar Clan?"
As soon as he heard this voice, Xiao Yao put down his hand again.
I saw a man standing up from the small bush.
It turned out that this man was wearing a special patterned cloth. As soon as he squatted down, he looked exactly like a stone.
After Ding Hong escaped from Lu Shaolin's sight, he huddled in the bushes wearing a cloth, disguised as a stone in the bushes.
As for why he chose this small bush, it was because Ding Hong had no time to look elsewhere.
During the day, Lu Shaolin was in a hurry to find Ding Hong. He had just been slapped and was upset. He ran back and forth in front of the bush several times, but he failed to find Ding Hong hiding under his nose.
.
Ding Hong's no choice hit Lu Shaolin's psychological blind spot.
Ding Hong didn't send any emergency signal. He was simply injured too seriously and couldn't escape.
Ding Hong's strategy was to stay put until Lu Shaolin thought he had escaped and gave up searching for this place.
In the afternoon, Lu Shaolin left, but Ding Hong did not get up. Because the woods were very large, it was extremely difficult for Ding Hong to walk out of the woods in his current state.
Besides, Ding Hong was afraid that Lu Shaolin left on purpose so that he could kill someone who could turn around.
If you want to persevere, then you must persevere to the end.
As expected, Lu Shaolin killed a carbine, and he also brought a helper.
"Are you a loyal member of the Beggar Clan?" Ding Hong stood up from the bushes and asked Xiao Yao in a low voice.
Ding Hong didn't know Xiao Yao, but he was a beggar who knew martial arts and met these two characteristics. He was usually a disciple of the Beggar Clan.
Although Ding Hong didn't know who this beggar gang member was, the person appearing here at this moment must be his helper who was dragged over by Lu Shaolin to deal with him.
Ding Hong had to find a way to use his mouth escape to kill the man in front of him before Lu Shaolin turned back.
"I have heard about the loyalty of the Beggar Gang for a long time." Although he was a little weak, Ding Hong's voice sounded full of righteousness. He said to Xiao Yao: "A hundred years ago, Beixia Guo Daxia and Gang Leader Huang's husband and wife,
The heroes fought fiercely with their cavalry to protect the Central Plains, and their deeds were both admirable and admirable. Guo Daxia even left behind the phrase "A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people" which will be remembered for thousands of years.
I am a secret agent of the imperial court, and I have matters involving the survival and safety of the world. Please uphold the loyalty of the Beggar Gang and help me."
Xiao Yao didn't reply, but his hands slowly clenched into fists.
"Everyone praises the beggars for their loyalty." Xiao Yao said to Ding Hong in a very sad and angry voice: "But do you know where the beggars on the streets come from?
Could it be that some people are born to be beggars?
Could it be that some people have been beggars all their lives?
Could it be that some people just want to be a beggar despite having a good life?!"
After Xiao Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, he unclenched his fist and looked at the dim half-moon in the sky, with two hot tears sliding down his cheeks.
Xiao Yao said sadly: "The children of the Beggar Clan treat the country with 'loyalty', but no one treats them with 'loyalty' in return.
In a battle outside the city of Hangzhou, I, a disciple of the Beggar Clan, killed the enemy with blood and used my flesh and blood to stop hundreds of Japanese pirates from outside the city.
And after the bloody battle, what did you do?"
"What did you do again!!" Xiao Yao roared loudly at Ding Hong.
"Well, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here." As a secret agent of the imperial court, Ding Hong naturally knew about Hangzhou, and even Ding Hong himself participated in part of the torture.
Otherwise, Ding Hong would not have been able to obtain such precious information, let alone follow this information and uncover an astonishing revelation.
Xiao Yao slowly raised his hand to Ding Hong. At this time, Ding Hong didn't care about anything else. He shouted at Xiao Yao and shouted out the top secret he had just discovered: "Prince Cheng wants to
rebellion!"
Before Ding Hong could finish his words, Xiao Yao struck Ding Hong in the heart with a palm of his hand. Ding Hong fell to the ground under the heavy blow, and Xiao Yao rushed over and slapped him on the forehead again.
Seeing Ding Hong's seven orifices spurting out seven blood arrows, Xiao Yao slowly stood up.
Xiao Yao had never known this person, and he had no deep hatred. However, killing this person filled Xiao Yao's heart with joy.
"King Cheng is planning to rebel!"
Why does this sentence sound so pleasant to the ears?
