Please don't embrace the leader of the reborn demon sect

Xu Hui called all the police officers together to discuss what happened last night.

Wen Zihao asked about Xu Hui and Peng Yue's experiences last night, and they started talking from the beginning.

It turned out that Xu Hui and Peng Yue had been walking eastward, and they dared not light torches in the middle of the night, for fear of attracting attention from others.

After walking for almost half an hour, Peng Yue stepped on something and was suddenly hung upside down.The mechanism was like a trap set by wild animals in the mountains, but as soon as Peng Yue struggled, there was a crisp ringing sound from a distance.

The two of them didn't know each other well. The real Orion would not be ready to ring the bell. Usually, he would wait until dawn the next day before going up the mountain to check the traps he had set.

Xu Hui immediately told Peng Yue not to move, and cut the rope on Peng Yue's feet with a sword, but the ringing of the bell had already alarmed the men in black.Seeing that they had startled the snake, the two changed directions and fled, but they were still spotted by the men in black after walking for a while, and they were besieged.The two knew that they were invincible, so they sent the signal flare.

Xu Hui asked: "Hero Wen, what did you discover in the deep forest last night?"

Wen Zihao told Ye Yichen what he saw last night that the men in black were working hard for ordinary people to dig holes in the mountains.

"It seems that most of these coolies are the lost people in our county, and they can be matched with the clues. The lost ones are all strong men, and they were captured to be coolies." Peng Yue said.

"We just want to do some research with you," Wen Zihao said, "I don't know how many people are missing in Wuling County?"

Xu Hui frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Our county has received at least 60 people. In the surrounding Yanggao County, Hunyuan County, and Guangling County, as far as we know, there are a total of 40 people. people."

Ye Yichen and Wen Zihao looked at each other, and Ye Yichen said: "The elder brother and I only saw a dozen people, and some people should be underground, but I estimate that the total number will not exceed 50. It seems that the people who were arrested People are not together, there should be some in other places."

A broad-faced policeman next to him blushed and couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, where did these men in black come from? Digging holes in deep mountains and old forests in the middle of the night, can they find treasure?"

Jin Wu said: "Could it be that there is a treasure map or something like that! Then these people dig the treasure here?"

All the arresters gave disdainful white eyes.

Xu Hui said: "Now we have no clues about the origins of these men in black, but according to investigations, these men in black lead a very prosperous life, and they are definitely not ordinary small gangs."

Then he told about the fabric he found last night, and several arresters gasped in amazement.

Wen Zihao said: "Now there is another question, are these people in black related to the May [-]rd written on the note? What will happen on May [-]rd?"

No one spoke, obviously clueless.

After a while, the leader moved in his heart and said, "Actually, we have forgotten one thing."

"What is it?"

"Tell me!"

"Brother Xiaobai, tell me!"

The leader said: "It's bandits on Taihang Mountain. Now there are bandits on Taihang Mountain, even if they are bandits composed of ordinary mobs, it is impossible for them not to know about such a big move on their own territory. "

Peng Yue said: "You mean these bandits are related to these men in black?"

Xu Hui thought for a while and shook his head, and said: "It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. If these bandits are just some villagers who can't afford to eat, then they shouldn't have anything to do with these men in black, they just can't beat them." Just hide and don't make trouble.

But brother Xiaobai is right, those bandits are definitely not ignorant of this matter, any bandit should be well aware of the things on their territory. "

Wen Zihao suddenly said: "If those bandits were really ordinary villagers, they might not be able to escape their clutches now. These men in black have high martial arts skills, and there are so many of them. Those reckless men who don't have any martial arts background and rely on their strength are not these at all. The opponent of the man in black may have already been arrested for hard labor."

Peng Yue said: "Then let's quickly go to the bandit's den to have a look, don't we know what's going on?"

Xu Hui said: "It is really necessary to go and explore."

With the next target in mind, all the arresters were eager to try, as if they would rush into the bandits' lair as long as Xu Hui gave an order.

Xu Hui re-arranged the dispatch and sent two police officers back to Wuling County to report the investigations in Taihang Mountain to the county magistrate, Mr. Wei, so that the police officers from the county government could come to support them.The men in black were powerful and numerous in number. If they wanted to rescue those villagers, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble, let alone guaranteeing the safety of those villagers.

The remaining eight people went to the bandit's den together to see if those bandits were also caught.If not, they will explore the attitude of these bandits on this matter.

After eating some dry food, the two policemen who reported back to Wuling County rode directly on the road, and the remaining eight were: Wen Zihao, Ye Yichen, Xu Hui, Peng Yue, Jin Wu, the broad-faced policeman Zhao Jin, and the usual taciturn Gu Wentao, who speaks little, and Mao Qicheng, who is about the same age as Jin Wu.

Xu Hui had participated in the encirclement and suppression of bandits in Taihang Mountain before, and knowing the general direction to the mountain stronghold, he dragged a group of people down the official road, and planned to take them directly to the stronghold to find out the truth.

Ye Yichen said: "Brother Xu is planning to take us to attack the cottage?"

Xu Hui wondered: "Didn't we just agree to go to the cottage to investigate?"

Ye Yichen said: "Brother Xu sees that we're going like this, doesn't it seem like we just want to investigate?"

Everyone was puzzled. After a while, Gu Wentao, who rarely spoke, suddenly said, "Clothes."

That's right, except for Wen Zihao and Ye Yichen, the rest of the arrests were all wearing red and black government uniforms.

A group of people came directly from the deserted house next to Wuling County. The plan at the time was to search the deserted house under the banner of searching for illegal salt, so all the arresters were wearing official uniforms.

But such a group of people dressed in official uniforms went directly to the bandit's den, saying that they were just asking about something, and no one would believe it. Maybe the two sides had already started fighting before they even reached the cottage.

Xu Hui smiled wryly and said: "Brother Xiaobai is still careful, but we all came here directly during the search, and no one brought a change of clothes. This matter is also a bit difficult."

The group had no choice but to walk north along the official road, hoping to find an inn or tea shed along the road, even a farmer's household, where they could buy some clothes and change their official uniforms.

Fortunately, not long after walking, a large group of people passed by on the official road.It turned out that a group of merchants imported a batch of silk from the south and shipped it to the north for sale.Xu Hui and others explained the reason to the merchants leading the team, and bought some old clothes from these merchants to change into.

When the leader saw the group of merchants transporting the cloth, something flashed in his mind, and he wanted to think about it carefully, but he couldn't find the idea just now.

After all the arresters changed their clothes, Xu Hui led a group of people to find the mountain road to the cottage. Ye Yichen calculated silently in his heart that the road to the cottage was about two and a half hours away from the place where he met the man in black.

Taihang Mountain is beautiful and majestic. Although the road is steep along the way, it is full of greenery and verdant mountains. Although the group of eight people are very tired, they are also refreshed.

Everyone walked up the mountain along the path, and before they reached the halfway up the mountain, they saw a wooden sentry standing under a tree.A man in gray cloth with a big knife in his hand saw Wen Zihao and his party and shouted loudly, "Who is here?"

Everyone exchanged glances with each other. It seems that these bandits are still in good health and have not been affected by the man in black at all.

Wen Zihao stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Wen Zihao, the head disciple of the Tianyi Sect, is paying a visit to all the brothers in the Taihang Mountain Village, please pass on the news to the village master."

This was the rhetoric discussed by everyone, Wen Zihao kept his posture very low, with a respectful expression on his face.

The gatekeeper Xu didn't know the name of Tianyi Gate, so he shook his head for a long time before saying: "Then you wait a while, I'll report first, as for whether the village master will see you, it depends on the luck of you guys. "

After finishing speaking, the big man with the knife confessed that another person was guarding here, then climbed down from the sentry post and walked up the mountain.

After waiting for a long time, the big man with the knife came back panting, his attitude was not as contemptuous as before, and he said to a group of eight people: "The master invites all friends from Tianyimen to go in, but all friends need to unload here." arms."

The eight people looked at each other, Wen Zihao and Xu Hui looked at each other, Wen Zihao untied Long Qijian first and handed it out: "Brother, please keep our weapons safe."

Seeing Wen Zihao undoing his sword, the rest of the people also unloaded their weapons and handed them over to the saber-handler for safekeeping.

The big man with the knife collected the weapons from everyone, and handed them over to the man who guarded the sentry post, and walked in front to lead the way: "Heroes, please!"

After finishing speaking, the big knife-handling man led Wen Zihao and his party up the mountain along the mountain road.

Ye Yichen followed behind Wen Zihao. He was used to being the leader, and he was always wary of strangers. He wrote down the path he had taken while walking.

Taihang Mountain was originally a continuous mountain range, but I don’t know what the name of this peak is. The road is full of strange rocks, the stone walls on both sides are like walls, and there is only a stone road about five feet wide in the middle.When a big man with a knife walks ahead, there will always be a small path in a place where he does not expect it. Without a guide, it is difficult to find the way up the mountain.

Walking along the road for a while, I came to a relatively flat open space on the mountainside, a stone gate opened in a row of towering stone walls, with a gold-pressed border on the top of the gate, and a pure black plaque with the words "Thunder Horse Village" .

The big man with the knife led the crowd into the stone gate, but there was not even a house inside the gate.

I saw a big man with a knife standing still under a luxuriant banyan tree full of aerial roots, pulling a rope similar in color to the aerial roots of the banyan tree, pulling hard, and a silver bell sounded from a high place .

As soon as the bell rang, a huge bamboo basket was slowly lowered from a cliff next to the open space, which could hold more than ten stone meters.

The big man with the knife made a gesture of invitation to Wen Zihao, and said, "Hero, please."

There were no more than eight people standing in the bamboo basket, Wen Zihao and Xu Hui looked at each other, and Wen Zihao led Ye Yichen, Jin Wu, and Mao Qicheng into the bamboo basket first.

The big man with the knife walked under the tree on the other side, where a copper gong was hung.

The big man with the knife raised the gong and hammer, the gong sounded three times, and the bamboo basket was slowly raised.It turned out that there was a noose winch on the mountain, and the bamboo basket was winched up.

The bamboo basket kept going up, the leader stood in the middle of the bamboo basket, looked down, saw the long blue sky and the vast mountains, already knew in his heart that these bandits were definitely not a bunch of ordinary mobs.With such a meticulous arrangement, even the Han Lan Sect, which has stood in the rivers and lakes for many years, never imagined that someone would have such a delicate thought in a bandit village that was only built for two or three years.

It's no wonder that the catchers of the county government can't catch these bandits. I'm afraid the catchers haven't even found the bandits' dens.

Wen Zihao stood next to Ye Yichen, afraid that he would be afraid, so he gently put his arms around his shoulders.

When the bamboo basket reached the top of the mountain, Wen Zihao and others got down from the bamboo basket, and when they looked up, they saw a wide courtyard. The east, west, and north sides were all spacious and sturdy tall houses. It looks simple and plain, without any gorgeous buildings.

The bamboo basket was lowered slowly again, and after a while, the big man with the knife brought Xu Hui and others up to the top of the mountain, and everyone's eyes were filled with admiration.

The big man with the knife led everyone to the door of a large hall, cupped his fists and saluted: "Everyone, please come in. The masters are already waiting for you heroes in the conference hall. It is inconvenient for me to enter, and I hope to make amends."
