After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 145 Shan Ze
"Go west..." Lu Yao pondered for a moment, his expression changed, "No, we can't let them join Pei Xinyong." Otherwise, he would be the passive one. "Have they brought horses?"

"No, there is no place on the ship."

The crocodile back, forgive the horse and dare not get on it.

"Go to Desheng Town quickly, and order everyone to be more vigilant! Wu Shaoyi is going by water to keep ahead of us, but they can't go without horses. Within a radius of sixty miles, only Desheng Town has horses!"

The kestrel flapped its wings and flew away, and his subordinates came over and asked Lu Yao, "General, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do, speed up!" Lu Yao sneered, "We must drag Pei Xinyong into the battle and cut off his connection with Wu Shaoyi. Well, there are now six or seven hundred brothers in Desheng Town, just be vigilant , don’t be afraid of more than 200 people like him!”

He has been fighting for many years, and he is also the master of decisiveness, so he immediately figured out the current strategy.That is to cooperate with Pei Xinyong to strangle the officers and soldiers as soon as possible, and at the same time drag Wu Shaoyi and others to Desheng Town to cut off their contact with Pei Xinyong.

When the officers and soldiers are eliminated, he will have time to discuss with Pei Xinyong, and then send someone to deal with Wu Shaoyi.

After the officers and soldiers arrived at Langming Cave, they turned into the fork road under the guidance of the guide and headed for Qianteng Town.

No pursuers were seen before or after, and everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.

He Chunhua chose to go west because he wanted to make a time difference. Taking advantage of the time when Pei Xinyong drove away the ambush soldiers from Shaoziyan, he led hundreds of soldiers and civilians to Langming Cave and turned into this fork.

In this way, the embarrassment of colliding head-on with the returning bandits is avoided.

Generally speaking, the objectives of the first stage were successfully completed.

Next, they will flee to Qianteng Town as quickly as possible.

Zeng Feixiong took a look at He Chunhua, secretly thinking that the governor of the county will suffer the most.The eldest young master was usually cynical, but he didn't expect to die like a hero in the end.

He Chunhua's frown has not been untied since just now, and he is asking the guide: "How far is it from Qianteng Town?"

"Within fifteen miles. The road behind has just been repaired two years ago. It is straight, easy to walk, and wide."

As soon as the words fell, a handful of red smoke burst out in the eastern sky.

That was the signal from the spies who climbed the mountain:
The chasers are coming!

So fast?Everyone was surprised, the mountain road had many twists and turns, the bandits had to drift desperately to catch up, right?

Before He Chunhua could give instructions, red smoke rose from the western sky.

This meant that Pei Xinyong's team also turned around and turned back.

This is called the leak in the house and the rain all night.

He Chunhua was not sure how Pei Xinyong would react when he walked to Langming Cave. Should he continue to fight Lu Yao, or turn to a fork in the road to pursue the officers and soldiers?
He cannot bet hundreds of lives of his entire army on this uncertainty.

Mo Zhe Jingxuan approached and said in a low voice: "My lord, we are walking too slowly. As long as we get rid of the burden, the speed can be increased by at least [-]%."

The so-called burden, of course, refers to the fairy villagers. How can human legs be as fast as a carriage?What's more, they drag their families with them.

The mountain road is very narrow, and civilians occupy half of it, so the speed of officers and soldiers is naturally slowed down.

Now they are only fifteen miles away from Qianteng Town, fifteen miles to death!Every step closer is good.

He Yue's eyes were still red, but at this time he retorted: "The mountain road is narrow, and the two sides are mixed. If we leave the villagers behind and move forward, they will definitely wail and stop them, and I'm afraid it will drag the convoy even slower."

He Chunhua remained silent, and summoned two magicians: "Isn't the ceremony a success?"

"It can't be successful." One of them was sweating profusely, holding He Chunhua's Sheji Order in his hand, "No, no response." From the beginning just now, the county guard has a vague hostility around him, making his face Feel the pressure on his people.

Zeng Feixiong immediately ordered another 30 people and asked them to rush to the rear of the team for support.

In addition to the original 50 riders, in case bandits attack, these [-] people are the first barrier.

He Yue has been paying attention to the surrounding situation, and suddenly pointed to the side of the road ahead and said: "The metasequoia forest is here, what a big metasequoia!"

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, there was a small piece of metasequoia forest on the right side of the mountain road. The trees were thick and thin. More than five feet!

With their straight and arrow-like figure, they are magnificent.

Pointing to the tallest tree, He Yue asked the guide, "Is this the grandpa tree?"

The guide shook his head: "It's not it. Ye Shu is much taller than it, and it's not here, it's by the lake next to Desheng Town."

The local people call the ancient tree with the oldest and highest seniority the Yeshu.

He Yue said sternly to He Chunhua: "Father, since people won't help, then ask these metasequoias to defend us against the enemy!"

"Metasequoia?" He Chunhua changed his expression, looked at the Metasequoia forest, and relaxed his frown, "Good way!"

Immediately afterwards, the governor gave an order to cut down trees to block the road!

In addition to the soft clothes of the fleeing villagers, most of the men also took their clothes. After all, both human life and money need weapons to protect them.There are many people here with axes, usually chopping wood, and defending themselves at this time.

Many officers and soldiers also use axes as weapons.

When the sheriff gave an order, the officials and the people all threw themselves into a fiery tree-cutting campaign.

Not only that, He Chunhua also instructed them to choose giant trees to chop, and the larger the diameter, the better.

Everyone knew that life and death were at stake, so they didn't hide their clumsiness at this time, and they all used their breastfeeding strength.

After a while, three big trees shook their golden-red crowns and fell to the ground with a long groan.

Everyone cut it carefully, so that it fell right across the middle of the mountain road when it fell.

With these giant logs blocking the way, the horses chasing soldiers couldn't get through at all. The only way was to use manpower to move them away.

Thinking of this, everyone is more motivated.

When the fourth big tree was cut down, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the forest, which blinded people.

The sound of the wind was like a roar, echoing in everyone's ears:

"Bold, a foreign official dares to hurt my people!"

The Metasequoia closest to He Chunhua suddenly shook extremely violently, and the crown of the tree drooped down abnormally.There are cracks on the surface of the trunk, which looks like a human face from a distance, but the facial features are not clear, pure impressionist painting style.

But everyone could feel its gaze, especially He Chunhua, who was the first to bear the brunt of it, and had to face all the anger of the opponent.

But he was extremely calm, and even brushed off the fallen leaves on his shoulders before saying: "You are the local Shanze? Several prayers failed, so I had no choice but to do something wrong!"

In fact, this tree is not the real Shanze itself, but just borrowed to transmit sound.

The real Shanze is still rooted on the edge of Desheng Town.

Metasequoia is very rude: "You are not a local parent officer, I don't have to answer your call!"

As the land lord of this mountain range, no one usually looks for it, and even the local officials haven't summoned it for a long, long time.
