Late that night, Zongwei Zhou Pu came to the county government office where Zhao Hongrun was located and reported what happened in the county jail not long ago.
"Your Highness, Yuma has escaped from prison."
At this time, Zhao Hongrun was leisurely flipping through the books in the study room of County Magistrate Ma Qian. He was not surprised when he heard this, but secretly sighed at Zhou Pu's work ability.
"Did he...ever realize that you secretly let him go?"
"I thought he didn't notice it." Zhou Pu said in a determined tone.
"Very good." Zhao Hongrun nodded with satisfaction, put down the book and looked at Zhou Pu, and was about to ask something. Suddenly, Zhou Pu's forehead was wrapped in a white cloth, and some blood oozed faintly on the white cloth, so he asked in shock: "Zhou Pu ,What’s wrong with your head?”
Hearing this, Zhou Pu showed a rare expression of embarrassment, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and said sarcastically: "When I gave that guy a chance... I was a little careless."
Beside, Zong Wei Chief Shen Yu shook his head silently.
Because as the chief of the Zongwei, he is very aware of the strength of the other Zongwei brothers. Unless they are one-of-a-kind martial arts talents like Chen Xiao, otherwise, even the sisters Mijiang and Mirui who have learned the witchcraft of Ba Kingdom, It is difficult to defeat these Zongwei without resorting to the power of heresy.
The reason why Zhou Pu was injured was either because he was too careless or because he was too aggressive.
And based on Shen Yu's understanding of Zhou Pu, it is obviously the latter situation.
"Your Highness." Shen Yu turned to look at Zhao Hongrun and said in a low voice: "Although Yuma has escaped from the prison, the county is now under full martial law. I am afraid that he will not be able to escape from the county. As your Highness expected, the news will be Pass it on to the people in Yiqiu."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and chuckled: "Yuma is also a local snake in Yangxia County. I don't believe that they will just dig tunnels under their respective military halls. If nothing else happens, there will probably still be tunnels in this city. There are secret tunnels that we have never discovered, just in case of emergencies... Therefore, Shen Yu, your name is Wei Jiao, Lu Mu and the others will pay close attention to the search in this area. I don't want to attack the hidden bandit forces outside the city. But those thieves can still sneak into the city along the tunnels and harass the soldiers and civilians."
"I understand my humble position." Shen Yu responded with clasped fists.
At the same time, just as Zhao Hongrun expected, Yuma, who had escaped from the county jail, took the remaining dozen or so Yuma people around him to a remote residence in the west of the city.
Because of Zhou Pu's release, Yuma not only used the copper wire to pry open the lock of the cell door and escaped, but also let go of the group of Yuma people under him. However, because there were too many people, the target was too large. Ma dismissed the rest of the brothers and told them to find a way to hide in the city. After all, the Youma Zhong had been operating in Yangxia County for so many years. In addition to the military halls, there were still many strongholds that looked just like ordinary households.
And the house he was knocking on the door of right now was one of the strongholds of their wandering horses.
After ringing the secret signal they agreed upon, a low voice came from the room asking: "Who?"
"Where justice comes, life and death follow it." Yuma said in a low voice.
This sentence was the slogan put forward by the Youma Army in Dang County during the most difficult time.
After Yuma whispered this slogan, the door of the house creaked open, and a head popped out. He took a careful look at the people outside the house. When he saw Yuma, the man was startled and pleasantly surprised. He called out: "Brother Yuma..."
"Shh." Yuma made a silencing gesture.
The other party immediately understood and quickly opened the door to let Yuma and the dozen or so people in the house. Then, after carefully looking outside the house, he quickly closed the door.
The owner of this room is a man in his thirties named Ma Jia.
Among the Youma Zhong, Ma is a very common surname, because the original purpose of the Wei court's formation of the Youma Zhong was to create trouble for the Song State. Therefore, in order to avoid being caught by the Song people, the soldiers of the Youma Zhong
At that time, they were all black households whose names had been crossed out from the county rolls. Their original families thought they had died in the war.
Later, as the imperial court announced that Youma of Dang County was a bandit on the border of Wei State, Youma Jun completely lost the possibility of restoring his original surname, so he changed his surname to Youma or Ma.
The owner of this household, Ma Jia, is also a member of the Youma people. However, he is already married and has a child, so Youma no longer takes him with him and places him in Yangxia County, where he lives a normal life.
In an ordinary life, at most, it is just for the Yuma people to pay attention to what is happening around them.
Like Umaja, all Yuma members with families were ordered to retire from the army by Yuma. Those who are still following Yuma today are unmarried people, many of whom have grown up gradually.
The adult son of the former Yuma Sergeant.
Thinking about it, when the Youma people came to Yangxia, there were still hundreds of strong men, plus one or two thousand Yuma family members. How could a few scholar's halls be placed underground?
"Brother Yuma, I heard that you were arrested by that King Su and sent to the county jail... How damn, they actually tortured you like this, Brother Yuma?"
After entering the house, Ma Jia noticed Yuma's bruised and swollen face, and couldn't help but look angry.
Seeing this, Yuma felt a little embarrassed. After all, those bruises on his face were all caused by him.
After all, in order to find a way to open the lock of the cell door so that he could escape easily, he took the initiative to provoke Zongwei Zhou Pu. It can be said that it was a deliberate act on his own initiative.
Of course, he didn't know it. In fact, Zongwei Zhou Pu had already guessed his intention and was just cooperating with him.
"It's just a skin injury, don't worry...let's not talk about it for now. Let's open the tunnel. I have something urgent and I have to go out of the city to see Brother Yingkang." Yuma waved his hand and said.
"Ying Kang?" Ma Jia asked in surprise when he heard this: "Isn't Ying Kang in the city?"
"When the merchant army attacked the military hall yesterday, I asked him to leave the city first. Fortunately, he left early and the merchant army had already discovered the tunnel under the military hall." Yuma explained.
Ma Jia was relieved after hearing this, and quickly took Yuma to the back room, and woke up his wife and children who were sleeping on the bed.
I saw him pulling up the mat spread on the bed, groping on the couch board for a while, and then pulling up a whole wooden board, revealing the seemingly dark tunnel underneath.
A dozen Yuma entered the tunnel first, and when Yuma was about to enter the tunnel, Ma Jiao grabbed Yuma's arm and said seriously: "Brother Yuma, let me go with you, about Prince Su.
I've also heard that one more person at this time means more strength."
When Yuma heard this, he turned his head and looked to the side. He saw a woman hugging two sleeping children, with a worried look on her face. She hesitated to speak, so she chuckled and said to Yuma's jaw: "Yuma's
I will solve the problem myself. You... are no longer a wandering horse. Live your life well. Do not disobey orders!" As he said that, under Ma Jian's complicated eyes, he entered the tunnel and covered the bed himself.
Ma Jia also turned his head to look at his wife and children, sighed secretly, and spread the mat on the bed again.
"It's late at night, go to sleep."
"Um……"
After bidding farewell to Ma Jia's family, Yuma led the dozen or so Yuma people through the tunnel quickly. After about half an hour, they all emerged from a farmland outside the wall on the southwest side of Yangxia County.
After coming out, Yuma carefully looked around, then quickly headed towards Geyang Mountain.
After walking for several hours, Yuma finally arrived at Geyang Mountain.
Geyang Mountain is not a hill, but a collective name for a group of hills. Once upon a time, this was the hill occupied by the Geyang Hidden Bandits. But now, this hill is inhabited by both the Yiqiu people and the Fuqiu people.
They may be only less than ten miles apart from each other, but they have always hated each other and attacked each other. It was only in recent years that the situation of the two sides fighting against each other has improved slightly.
The relationship between Youma and the Yiqiu people is very good, and Youma also knows where the Yiqiu people's camp is.
However, it didn't matter even if he didn't know where the Yiqiu people's camp was, because not long after their group entered Geyang Mountain, they were discovered by the hidden thieves from the Yiqiu people.
However, because Yuma was beaten up and bruised by Zongwei Zhou Pu, the hidden thieves from the Yiqiu clan followed Yuma for a while, and then they recognized the latter and showed up to meet him.
Under the leadership of these hidden thieves from Yiqiu, Yuma and others successfully arrived at the camp of Yiqiu people.
It is said to be a camp, but it is actually a secret room inside the mountain. After all, over the years, the Yiqiu people and the Fuqiu people have been encircled and suppressed by the imperial court, and they no longer dare to build the camp on the mountain openly. Therefore, these two groups of hidden thieves
They all spent great efforts to dig out the mountain and build the camp inside the mountain of Geyang Mountain.
Deep in the secret room inside the mountain, Yuma met Ying Kang, the leader of the Yiqiu people who had not been away for a few days.
"Brother Yuma, you...what's happening to your face?"
The moment he saw Yuma, Ying Kang was also surprised. After all, Yuma was really badly repaired by Zongwei Zhou Pu. Who told him that he didn't follow the rules and made a trick that caused Zhou Pu to be bumped into the prison?
He even broke his head on the door.
"Let's not talk about it for now." Yuma waved his hand to stop Ying Kang from asking about the bruises on his face, and told Ying Kang the conversation between him and Zhao Hongrun in detail, only to hear a look of shock and anger gradually appear on the latter's face.
color.
"Damn Jin Gou, that bastard actually..."
Ying Kang's face was full of anger.
You know, if it were just Zhao Hongrun's Shang Shui Army, Ying Kang was confident that the Shang Shui Army would return without success like the imperial army that had always besieged them. After all, Geyang Mountain has a very wide range, and the terrain is changeable and full of trees.
, without the leadership of someone who is familiar with this place, it would be difficult for the Shang Shui Army to find the home of their Yiqiu clan even if they searched all over the mountains and plains.
But if the people of Fuqiu led the way for the Shang Shui Army and assisted the latter in encircling and suppressing the people of Yiqiu, then the situation would be completely different.
Thinking of this, Ying Kang said angrily: "Okay, he will be the first grader, and I will be the fifteenth grader! ... It's just that he knows the location of my Yiqiu clan, don't I know the lair of his Fuqiu clan? Jin Gougou
The thief will definitely not tell Zhao Run the location of his Fuqiu Clan's lair, so I just happened to be able to help him!"
Looking at the sulky Ying Kang, Yuma frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with this matter.
Because of this, Zhao Hongrun knew the location of the camps of the Yiqiu people and the Fuqiu people. In other words, King Su could deal with the Yangxia hidden thieves whenever he wanted...
…
No! I fell into a trap!
After carefully recalling how he escaped from the county jail, Yuma suddenly realized. (To be continued.)
