It was getting daylight, and the detectives could already clearly see each other's figures. They couldn't help but become energetic and ran through the mountains and forests in hot pursuit.
Not all of the twenty or so people on the other side were experts. There were several burdensome people among them who needed to be pulled and dragged around, or even carried on their backs to escape. This had a great impact on their speed.
Seeing the two sides getting closer and closer, an extremely shocking scene happened. The staggering burdens broke free from their companions' hands, brandished their knives and rushed towards the detectives, shouting loudly:
"Master, I will be loyal again in the next life."
These few people with no martial arts skills, armed with sharp knives, stood in front of the wolves and tigers of the police, but they were not afraid, and their faces were full of generosity.
This was destined to be a mantis trying to control the car. In just a blink of an eye, several people were knocked to the ground by the policemen, but they still acted like crazy tigers, completely disregarding their own life and death. They hugged the legs of the policemen, even tearing and biting them, trying to stop them.
Even for a moment, it buys the master some time.
The officers' calves had their flesh bitten off, and they screamed in pain. In desperation, they had no choice but to change their mind about catching them alive and kill all these lunatics... But those who had no martial arts skills didn't know.
Where did he get the strength? His arms tightly hugged the agents' legs, unable to break them open. In the end, they could only cut off their arms...
Ling Xiao could no longer watch this scene. She was curled up tightly in Wang Xian's arms. If she looked at it again, her heart would definitely collapse...
Wang Xian also closed his eyes. The shock brought to him by these people was stronger than the eight strong men yesterday. His heart was already strongly shaken...
Zhou Xin looked at this scene with a cold face, his heart seemed to be at rest, but his hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, his nails were embedded in his flesh, and blood seeped into the seams of his nails...
In that room, the pursuit continued.
After getting rid of the mantis blocking the car, the detectives chased after him again, but this time the other man was carrying only one person on his back and the speed was much faster, so that the two sides were unable to close the distance. You chased me farther and farther.
After crossing a mountain ridge, a surging river lay in front of them.
Zhou Xin took Wang Xian to the top of the mountain, looked at the river, and saw several speedboats approaching. He said with a complicated expression: "It seems that they can't escape the river." It turned out that he had already arranged an ambush to outflank the opponent from the waterway.
.
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly focused, and he saw several more fast boats rowing out of the reeds by the river, heading towards the river first.
Seeing the appearance of the second fleet, the already desperate fugitives were overjoyed. Eight well-dressed men knelt down and kowtowed to the man being carried, saying impassionedly: "It's time for me to die."
The purple-faced man and several others clasped their fists and said: "You protect the master and leave quickly, I will cover you later."
The owner's long hair was messy and his face could not be seen clearly, but tears had already soaked his purple-faced sweaty back.
But the purple-faced man smiled at the eight people and said: "You must be loyal throughout life, what's the use if you don't die? Brothers, don't worry, the master still has us."
The eight people also laughed, "It's the eldest brother who understands our feelings best."
"Then brothers, farewell or see you later." The purple-faced man nodded, then carried his master on his back and ran towards the reed marsh by the river. The other people nodded to the eight people and said in a deep voice: "See you under the spring.
"He quickly followed the purple-faced man and left to protect his master.
The eight people stood up and formed a formation in the wilderness to intercept the pursuing policemen. They were not the helpless people in front of them. They were all selected by Emperor Taizu and ordered to teach them.
Ouchi masters who have used their superb martial arts to form formations and cooperate with each other for thirty years
The eight people were the same as them yesterday, but the situation yesterday was different from today. Yesterday, the eight righteous men were trapped in a tight siege and couldn't escape. Although they refused to be captured, they had no desire to kill... because they were living in seclusion in the mountains. What they heard was
The morning bell of the mountain temple, what you see is the high mountains and flowing water, the eyes and ears are influenced by it, and you cultivate yourself. The resentment and killings of ten years ago are no longer in your feelings. Since you have no enmity with those great men of the Ming Dynasty, and killing them is useless, why do you commit crimes? On the battlefield
Without the intention to kill, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, they will be compromised.
But this time it was different. In order to let their master escape, they had to kill people. Therefore, the seemingly same formation showed ten times the power. They were outnumbered but like tigers among wolves, killing the agents until they retreated one after another and suffered losses.
It was a heavy blow. However, the agents relied on their numerical advantage and divided their forces around the flanks to continue the pursuit.
This move hit the weakness of the eight masters, so they had no choice but to give up the formation and intercept and kill the officers and soldiers separately. Now they were all in a dangerous situation of being one against many, but they blocked the policemen by the river. They were shocked.
Because of its divine power, even if the officers and soldiers were able to bypass it, they would not dare to pursue it. They could all see that the other party had several guards, so how could they dare to go there and seek death...
On the river, there was a fierce fight between the two speedboats. The sailors and samurai on the boat shot arrows and threw spears at each other, but no one could do anything. From time to time, dead and wounded people fell into the water, and a gurgling mass of blood appeared on the river...
At this time, another small boat emerged from the reed swamp, and while neither party paid attention to it, it quietly approached the shore.
The purple-faced man, who was carrying his master on his back, hid in the reeds and had already waded waist-deep in the water. When he saw the boatman, he shouted: "Come here quickly!"
When the boatman heard this, he hurriedly rowed the boat over, handed the oar to the man and said, "Bring the master on board quickly."
The purple-faced man's martial arts skills were extremely high. He climbed onto the boat with a little help while carrying someone on his back. The other people watched the surroundings vigilantly. When no one was approaching, they jumped on the boat one after another...
"Go and save them quickly," the master finally spoke out, pointing to his men who were trapped in a tight siege and fighting madly by the river.
"No, the master doesn't care about them. Once the boat docks, it won't be able to leave." The purple-faced man persuaded and ordered: "Old Zheng, hurry up and sail the boat."
"Yeah." The boatman turned out to be Zheng Jiaoyu from the county. He struggled to hold the pole, and the fully loaded boat floated down the river.
On the river, the officers and soldiers naturally saw this scene. However, the militants who intercepted them were not afraid of death. The two sides were engaged in a bloody hand-to-hand battle. They could not distinguish a ship from chasing them. They could only watch the boat go further and further.
Far……
Also watching their targets slip away were Wang Xian and Zhou Xin. Zhou Zhitai looked normal. Although he was surprised by the change, he was not unable to accept it. Because Pujiang County was not only composed of people from the imperial court, but also the Zheng family and the Ming Cult.
Everyone has the power to disrupt the situation
Zhou Xin was even a little surprised, why did the other party come so late?
"They slipped away." Wang Xian said, feeling indescribable relief in his heart. He actually prayed that the ship would sail into the vast sea and never come back.
"We can't walk." Zhou Xin said calmly: "To be sure, Uncle Tang dispatched the Zhejiang Navy. No one can even think of leaving the Pujiang River by water."
"Your Excellency is wise..." Wang Xian's praise was somewhat contrary to his wishes.
"Not famous at all." Zhou Xin sighed: "The trouble lies behind..."
On the river, the two fleets lost the meaning of fighting and finally separated. The fleet of unknown origins went down the river, while the officers and soldiers' ships sailed towards the shore. Not only did the officers and soldiers fail to complete their mission, they also died inexplicably.
I have met many people, and when I am full of anger, I naturally want to find someone to vent to.
Their target was the eight masters who had gathered together again. Seeing that their master had successfully escaped, the eight masters were very happy, even though they had been surrounded by arrests and there was no possibility of escape... and the officers and soldiers on the ship were armed with strong weapons.
The bow is a master's nightmare.
"Retreat" Zhou Yong ordered his subordinates, and the detectives retreated backwards, widening the encirclement to avoid being accidentally injured by bows and arrows.
"Fire arrows!" the officer on the ship shouted loudly, and more than a dozen arrows were shot at one person at the same time. The expert was extremely tired and had no shield or armor. Although he tried his best to block, he was still hit in the thigh by an arrow. He groaned and stood up.
without falling
The second wave of bows and arrows came out again, and the detectives also cooperated by throwing short spears, simple knives and other weapons. The man was completely unable to block it. He was hit by several arrows and died with angry eyes...
Wang Xian couldn't bear to see the next killing, so he took Lingxiao down the mountain first. The song "A Man's Heart Is Iron-Hearted to Death" seemed to be ringing in his ears again... But when he calmed down, the man's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Trembling, because when he saw the direction of the county seat, there was thick smoke everywhere.
After a while, Zhou Xin also came down and said with a livid face: "Something happened in the county."
Wang Xian nodded heavily and said solemnly: "This official has neglected his duty..."
"This is the Zheng family's world. There are Mingjiao thieves everywhere. If something happens, what's the use of your foreign classics?" Zhou Xin shook his head and said, "You should be glad that you are not in the city."
Wang Xian said bitterly: "My brother is still in the city..." Wu Wei, Shuai Hui and Er Hei were all in the county helping him maintain the situation...
"Life and death are matters of destiny, don't be childish." Zhou Xin said in a deep voice: "You must be calm at this time." He said to the chief guard behind him: "Send a message to Uncle Tang immediately, stop searching the mountain, and send troops immediately
Entering Pujiang”
"Yes." The captain of the guard called Zhou Tai. He quickly wrote the letter and released the carrier pigeon.
In that compartment, the battle was over. All eight people were shot dead. The officers and soldiers also suffered heavy losses. The five ships that came to support, with a total of 200 sergeants on board, were damaged in half. A dozen of the 200 officers were also killed.
Dozens of people were injured... This is because the other party mainly focused on blocking, not killing.
Leaving a dozen officers and soldiers in one boat to clean the battlefield, Zhou Xin took the rest of the people in four boats and sailed to the county town. Along the way, he saw many civilian ships leaving the county town, with people on board carrying large and small bags and their families, in full flight posture.
Zhou Xin asked people to stop a civilian ship and ask what happened. The people on the ship said in panic: "The victims suddenly changed their faces. Under the banner of Mingjiao, they occupied the county seat, opened warehouses to stockpile grain, and looted wealthy people's homes."
"Where is the county master?" Wang Xian asked in a deep voice. It is said that the victims do not live in the county. As long as the city gate is closed in time, relying on the people in the city and hundreds of village braves, the county should not fall so quickly...
"I'm drunk, what else can I do?" The other party smiled bitterly: "When the incident happened, he was drunk and unconscious at Zheng Jiaoyu's house..."
