In this state of mind, Fang Linyan obviously became energetic all of a sudden and accelerated towards the front to catch up. After all, the opponent was riding a horse, and if he was slow, he might not be able to catch him.
As for the speed at which he was running at full speed, not to mention ordinary Green Camp soldiers, even Li Ju felt that he could not keep up. Only Li San could follow behind calmly.
So Fang Linyan ordered Yu Tongzhi and his people to follow him as soon as possible, while he took Li Ju and Li San to take the first step.
As a result, when the three of them chased for about five or six miles, they suddenly saw a group of villagers gathered in front of them. After approaching, Fang Linyan took a look instinctively, but his heart immediately moved. It turned out that these villagers were actually cutting up a dead horse.
!
The horse had been cut open and divided into a small half. It could be seen from the blood flowing beside it that it had not been dead for too long.
Of course, the taste of horse meat is very ordinary, but for these poor villagers, it is already a rare meat. In addition, there is a mentality of not punishing the public, so there are many people sharing the meat. The key is the saddle and tether of the horse.
are still nearby, this is a military horse!
Seeing that Fang Linyan was very concerned about the dead horse, Li San naturally understood and immediately went over to ask what was going on.
When the villagers nearby saw his menacing look, it could be said that they were frightened and frightened. The country people were ignorant and could not withstand being frightened, so they quickly told him that several people had rushed over on horseback not long ago.
As a result, a horse suddenly lost its front hoof and fell down.
The man on horseback did not fall. After getting up and checking the horse, he cursed a few times and left without any care. Even the horse was left on the roadside without any care.
So these villagers naturally became greedy, and when they found out that the horse was dead, they came to cut the body and skin it.
After learning about these situations, Fang Linyan was initially surprised, but when he thought about it deeper, an inexplicable fear surged in his heart...
"I wonder if this is a coincidence or the result of a deliberate arrangement? If it was a deliberate arrangement, then the person who planned all this is really very ambitious and will definitely become my biggest enemy!"
"If there is a second dead horse ahead, then everything will be the same."
Fang Linyan then led the two of them and continued to move forward quickly. As a result, after running less than two miles this time, he saw a group of villagers gathering in front of him. When he walked over and took a look, he found that they were indeed surrounding another horse.
The horse looked like it was not dead yet. It vomited a lot of white foam around the corner of its mouth, but its eyes were lifeless. It looked like it was not far from death.
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan sighed slightly in his heart, then took out a small silver ingot from his arms, threw it on the horse, and said to an older man:
"Old man, please be polite. This horse was poisoned and collapsed directly to the ground. If you eat it, I'm afraid there will be many troubles in the future. These two taels of silver are the burial expenses I gave you. I hope you all can
You can dig a hole and bury it to prevent innocent people from getting poisoned."
The old man was stunned after hearing this, and then bowed deeply to Fang Linyan:
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang. You are a knowledgeable person. Thanks for the tips."
Li San and Li Ju next to them saw Fang Linyan's behavior. Although they didn't say anything, they still quite recognized it in their hearts.
In particular, people like Li Ju are bold and cruel, and they usually sneer at people who support the people. They look down on them, thinking that they are just women's benevolence and can't achieve greatness.
But while I was working for Fang Linyan at this time, I suddenly felt that it would be good to hang out with such a person. This kid can even comfort and look after ordinary people, and he is definitely no different to me, a capable subordinate...
***
Fang Linyan also didn't expect that his unintentional trick could actually make Li Ju and Li San feel at ease, but his mood now is extremely heavy.
Now it seems that there must be something wrong with the five horses that the Japanese snatched! They thought that after snatching the five horses, they would be able to use their high mobility to send the core people away in time and escape, but they did not
I knew that these five horses might be the result of the other party planning the future development and specially arranging for them to be sent here.
After getting the horses, the group of Japanese remnants who originally gathered together to escape will definitely have to make a choice due to the inconsistency in mobility! Especially if there is cavalry chasing behind them.
Obviously, the sickly looking big lawsuit is the soul figure and must be escorted out of danger first, which forces the other party to divide their forces.
If all this is not a deliberate arrangement, then it is obvious that Japan has made a good move.
However, if the five cavalrymen were deliberately arranged, and the horses were not only poisoned in advance, but also marked on their bodies, then the Japanese side's division of troops seemed extremely stupid. Not only did they fail to get rid of the pursuing troops from behind,
But it also divided the escort power around the big lawsuit.
After deducing these things, Fang Linyan felt afraid of the space warriors who were planning all this!
There is a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but this is definitely not applicable to the current situation.
It can only be said that the other party and we have a common interest in letting China win. Even on this point, the two sides are still in conflict!
-------Those who are among the top three in terms of contribution value on the China War progress bar will definitely have better final rewards than those in the top ten. Those with the highest contribution value will definitely be better than those in the second or third place.
If there is a chance, the top three will probably not mind killing the rest when necessary. The second and third place want to pull the first place down, and the first place wants to eliminate the threat of the second and third place!
Therefore, although for Lin Yan, the probability of killing the big lawsuit is getting higher and higher, the risk is also increasing, and this risk not only comes from the enemy, but also from the nominal allies.
The three of them continued to move forward, but before they had gone a mile, they discovered that three war horses had fallen on the side of the road. Many people were already watching. However, when they got closer and took a closer look, they realized that these three war horses were already dead.
Well, the cause of his death was not poisoning, but being stabbed several times.
Obviously, the Japanese immediately realized that they had been fooled, became ferocious, and directly killed the horse to vent their anger.
Not only that, a huge town suddenly appeared in front of it. Li San and Li Ju were out-and-out local snakes. They immediately told Fang Linyan that this place was called an ancient town, but it was the kind of transportation that extended in all directions for business gatherings.
There are not many locals in this important place, but there are many outsiders. This is the season for mule and horse trading, so it can be said to be particularly lively here.
Although this is called an ancient town, it is actually more prosperous than many small counties now.
After learning this information, Fang Linyan's heart immediately moved. No wonder the Japanese decisively killed the horse to vent their anger.
Obviously, after discovering that they have been tricked, the best choice for this group of people now is not to run away again, but to directly abandon the poisoned war horses, sneak into the ancient town to take a rest, and wait for the help of people to come one after another, and then do it again
The rest.
More importantly, the number of cavalry chasing them was probably only one or two hundred. These people were invincible on the flat ground, but that didn't mean they were invincible in complex terrain like the town.
Not to mention that it is very time-consuming to search and arrest people in a large town with ten thousand people.
The key is that with the current virtue of the green soldiers, once they enter a wealthy town and start a search, haha, burning and killing will not happen, but looting will be inevitable! At that time, there will be no need for the Japanese to take action, and the local powerful local horse dealers will directly fight with them.
Conflict arose.
These cavalry can only have the ability to kill large lawsuits when they charge as a whole unit on the plains. Without the premise of favorable location, they will be nothing but scattered sand.
"Wonderful, really wonderful."
Fang Linyan was on the sidelines at this time, and couldn't help but sigh at the confrontation of wits between the two sides.
This is really a back-and-forth between you and me, not giving in to each other, and we are meeting our opponents.
After considering so many things, Fang Linyan closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then made a decision simply:
"People die for wealth and birds die for food. Even if the space warriors from Song Qing's side get it first, I will admit it! Safety first! Stay stable first!"
After making up his mind, Fang Linyan greeted Li Ju and said pleasantly:
"I know that Senior Brother has many strange people and talents, but I wonder if they are interested in making some extra money?"
After finishing speaking, he directly handed over a thousand taels of silver notes. Li Ju originally had a dead face, but his eyes lit up when he saw the silver notes, something everyone loved, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and said:
"How to make money?... Master?"
Fang Linyan immediately said:
"I always feel that the current situation is weird in every aspect. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Japanese will definitely choose to hide in the ancient town ahead. But their vitality is not injured, and the Japanese will inevitably escort the big lawsuit.
They are good players, but the three of us are not sure of victory yet."
Li San regarded himself as a great steward at this time and said hurriedly:
"Sir, since the Japanese are staying here and not leaving, we are just waiting for the army behind us! Then we will surround the town and catch the turtles in the jar!"
Fang Lin Yanxin said that Old Liu sent me a total of two hundred soldiers... What kind of army is this? Even Song Qing's elite cavalry didn't dare to go in and search. What can these weaklings under him do?
But Li San’s face had to be taken care of, so he said:
"We are not familiar with the place in this town. If we let the Green Camp soldiers in, can those people do things honestly?"
Li San immediately frowned and said:
"That's right, these Qiu Ba people are not good at fighting. They don't have the guts to kill people and set fires. When they see something rich, they will probably steal it. They also want to take advantage of beautiful girls and wives. If you come here, please say a favor!"
Fang Linyan nodded with satisfaction and said:
"So, what I mean is that it is better to invite a few brothers who are good at hiding and keeping tabs to lurk in and monitor their movements, while we recharge our batteries."
"The Japanese horses that died suddenly died strangely, so we can just watch the fire from the other side. Brothers' lives are also lives. We are all born to our parents. We can take them down without paying the price or taking risks.
it's the best."
After listening to Fang Linyan's words, Li Ju nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Mr. Hu, what you're saying is quite personal. I really need to be careful when I'm helping you guys with official status run errands!"
"I met an official before who asked me to help him, but he didn't consider my safety at all. He only wanted to dye his forehead red with the blood of his brothers. How far am I from such a bullshit official?
Just stay as far away from him as possible!"
"Okay, you are generous and loyal, and I will try my best to help you get this job done!"
When Li San heard what Li Ju said, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly came out. He immediately thought that this stupid Li Ju had done enough for his elder brother and was interested in the position of the Hu family's chief steward?
Therefore, Li San was not willing to be seconded, and immediately said to Lin Yan:
"Sir, I have a few acquaintances here. People like Xiangjiao are not very reliable in doing things. I can definitely get twice the result with half the effort by asking locals like them to do things."
Of course, Fang Linyan would have an encouraging attitude towards such a good subordinate who was highly motivated and subjective. The emperor didn't want to send hungry soldiers, so he also stuffed a thousand taels of silver note over, but Li San actually waved it away.
...
Fang Linyan was of course happy to see that the conspiracies were actually sweeping into the hands of the people he hired.
And he also knew very well, who could Li San know here? There are only two types, the first one must be his colleagues, and the second one is someone who sells stolen goods.
Not to mention these two types of people, they are completely in line with the current needs.
When a thief attacks a location, he definitely needs to be resourceful and flexible, so that he can seamlessly meet Fang Linyan's needs.
Those who can sell stolen goods must be well-connected in the local area and have good connections, which can also be of great help.
At this time, Fang Linyan was an out-and-out bystander, and he wisely did not intervene, so the information he actually learned was indeed limited. He did not know that during the previous pursuit, the two sides had secretly conducted several rounds of negotiations.
An extremely fierce secret battle!!
***
at the same time,
Among the ancient towns,
This is a large mansion, and you can see a fat man with a round face and a smiling face guiding a few people to the backyard, and he is trying to please the man next to him:
"Prince Gong, your presence here really brings glory to my house. I am truly lucky to receive you!"
However, next to this round-faced fat man was a sinister-looking man with a thin build, a hooked nose, and a wound on his left arm. To be honest, it seemed that he had nothing to do with the "Prince" at all!
In fact, Prince Gong is now over sixty years old, his hair and beard have turned gray, and he has not left the capital for a full twenty-three years!!
After hearing what the fat man said, the man said coldly:
"This time the king came out of the capital, it was under Qi Xiang's secret order! Yours must be kept secret. Once the secret is leaked, you will fight to the death!"
At this time, anyone who is not a fool will definitely find the flaw in this man's words. As long as he is a Chinese, how can he dare to address the emperor's reign in such a harsh way? That is a crime of disrespect, especially when this man calls himself Prince Gong.
in the case of.
Faced with such a hard-core Chinese translation that was full of flaws, the fat man didn't notice it at all. He immediately knelt down in fear and said:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!!"
Soon, the fat man took several people to his study room, and then went about doing other things honestly.
The man closed his eyes at this time and sighed tiredly:
"This enchantment spell is really too energy-consuming. I almost exhausted the last of my power in order to control this Qing man. Within three days, I won't be able to use it anymore. Next, your safety will have to be handed over to me.
It’s you, Shoda-kun.”
It turned out that this man used witchcraft: enchantment to quietly control Jin Yuanwai, the owner of the mansion, and put him directly into a state of being dominated by illusions. Jin Yuanwai's long-cherished wish in life is to see Prince Gong and be praised a lot.
sentence.
Therefore, after the magic spell was performed, it was equivalent to satisfying Jin Yuanwai's deepest and deepest wish. Under the control of such extremely positive emotions, other doubts and the like were of course ignored.
The mentioned Shoda-kun said seriously:
"Suzuki-san, that's enough. At least we have found a safe place now and have enough breathing time."
Suzuki said:
"We were spotted by many people on the way to this Qing mansion. It may not be safe here."
Having said this, Suzuki frowned slightly, with a ferocious look on his face:
"Moreover, the people who are chasing after them can be said to have endless methods, and they can actually resist the curse from the big lawsuit! Not only that, but they also have a means of attacking people quietly. Yajiro and Maebei are both
Die by their hands."
"Damn it, we are in the land of the Qing Dynasty now, and the power of the spells in our religion cannot be used, otherwise I can easily kill him!!"
Another man with a rosy nose held his hands in front of his chest and said angrily:
"Don't worry, I used the fog of trickery before entering the town. Even if ordinary people see us, they won't leave any impression."
It was Xiong Ya who was speaking at this time.
After hearing what he said, Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately looked at another companion next to him with some worry:
This is an old man, his hair has turned gray, but his back is still straight, and he is trying to look meticulous, but everyone can see that he has a mountain of fatigue:
"Let's go. Mr. Kanta has been burdened with a big lawsuit for more than an hour. He is already working very hard. We must seize the time."
After arriving in the back room, Mr. Kanta sat down cross-legged, and then made a gesture of cupping his hands on his chest.
Immediately afterwards, you can see that a light spot suddenly appears where the palms of his hands are facing each other. Then the light spot quickly expands and turns into a light gate.
Then they saw four people wearing green-faced fangs masks walking out carrying a sacred chariot. Sitting on the sacred chariot was Fang Linyan, who was determined to kill Hou Kuai's big lawsuit!
