Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 581 How can there be Pegasus in the world? This must be Qin Wang's suspicious plan

On the threshing ground of Beigou Village near Bin Township, the villagers of Beigou Village helped the old and the young one by one, watching with trepidation the soldiers in front of them came and went in and out of their homes, taking their only All the food was taken out and piled outside.

"Report! There are only so many!"

"It's the same here!"

"..."

"Report! No traces of grain and fodder were found..."

When the soldier came out from the last room carrying a light bag, the captain who led the team approached Wei Zheng and whispered.

"Wei Xima, there seems to be something wrong. No matter how you look at it, there is no sign that this village has stored a large amount of grain and grass."

"Yeah! I saw it!"

Wei Zheng nodded, pursed his lips, and frowned.

"Could it be that my guess is wrong? In fact, King Qin's food and grass are not placed here?"

Da da da……

A series of horseshoes sounded, Wei Zheng and the captain looked up at the same time, just in time to see a scout charging from outside the village on horseback, still shouting loudly.

"Reporting to Wei Xima, someone found a lot of horseshoe prints a dozen miles away from this village!"

"Hey!"

After hearing the scout's words, Wei Zheng clenched his fist with one hand and swung it vigorously, with a triumphant smile on his face.

"What are you talking about, King Qin and his Xuanjia cavalry must be hidden here, General Zhao, order the brothers to gather, let's hurry over there."

"Yes!"

After the captain agreed, he raised his head and said tentatively.

"Then this village..."

"Since this matter has nothing to do with them, then so be it!"

Wei Zheng waved his hand very generously.

"You inform the village elders, and tell them that after our investigation, they really have nothing to do with the bandits. Let them take back all their food and live a good life!"

"Yes!"

A quarter of an hour later, the villagers in Beigou Village, who thought they would definitely be hit by a disaster today, held their own food in fear, and looked at Wei Zheng and the others leaving with excitement.

"Tang Jun is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, Qiu has done nothing wrong!"

"..."

Half an hour later, Wei Zheng led the team to the location of the hoof prints that the scout had mentioned by boat.

This is in a forest, not far from the Malan River that is flowing.

"I see……"

Wei Zheng looked at the woods on the edge of the Malan River, and was instantly enlightened.

"The king of Qin didn't transport grain and grass by vehicles at all before, but relied on the water transport of the Malan River to transport grain and grass. Damn it! I was careless for a while, and even ignored the matter of water transport."

"Wei Xima..."

The captain came over on his horse and said in a low voice.

"Then what should we do now, follow the hoofprints and catch up?"

"Yes! Chase up..."

Wei Zheng nodded confidently.

"If someone's estimate is correct, there should be a slightly flat valley not far from this forest that can be used for camping. Those Xuanjia soldiers must be hiding there..."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng pondered again.

"Although I don't think these Xuanjia soldiers will jump over the wall in a hurry, we have to prepare for the worst. General Zhao, you leave some brothers to watch the ship first. If the other party intends to harm us, we will have a good time." a retreat."

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, the well-arranged Wei Zheng and others took the remaining soldiers and followed the hoofprints of the horses all the way forward. After bypassing the forest, a valley appeared in front of them just as Wei Zheng said.

"General Zhao, tell the brothers to be careful!"

After seeing the valley, Wei Zheng, who was more determined in his deduction, pointed forward with his finger, and said solemnly.

"In order to prevent people from protruding from the valley and killing us by surprise, I think we should form a formation and move slowly, and let the scouts go into the valley to investigate first... By the way, General Zhao, please tell the scouts not to get too close to the valley entrance first. Take a look from afar."

"As ordered!"

After hearing Wei Zheng's order, Zhao Duwei raised his hand in convincing, and arched at Wei Zheng.

"Wei Xima is really a man who knows how to fight!"

Wei Zheng stroked his beard with his hands, with a proud expression on his face.

"General Zhao, what you said is too much. I am only a scholar, so I can be called a soldier."

"..."

"With the strength of a crowd, a thousand people can be the enemy!"

After these soldiers had lined up, Captain Zhao raised the spear in his hand and activated the military secret technique to connect himself with these soldiers.

After everything was ready, the soldiers drew their knives out of their sheaths, bowed their bows, and held their shields in their hands, rushing towards the valley in front of them as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Several scouts on horseback leaned down, put their bodies on the horseback, carefully drew an arc, and ran towards the front of the valley.

"..."

Ten minutes later, Wei Zheng looked at the empty valley with a dazed expression.

"How is it possible, the Xuanjia Army should be here, where did they go?"

"Report!"

Those scouts also ran over on horseback and said loudly.

"To Wei Xima, there are no mountain roads or caves inside the valley, and those horseshoe prints mysteriously disappeared halfway through the valley."

"what's going on?"

After hearing what the scouts said, Captain Zhao's face suddenly became confused.

"How could it be possible that the horseshoe prints disappeared halfway through? Could you be mistaken? For example, these cavalry turned around again."

"Report to the captain!"

When the scout answered, there was somewhat panic on his face.

"Those cavalrymen didn't turn around, because the hoof prints only went, and they didn't come back, as if those horses flew up after they got to that place..."

"impossible!"

Before Captain Zhao could speak, Wei Zheng on the side had already said firmly.

"Even if there are flying horses in this world, it is impossible for a thousand Xuanjia soldiers to have one horse. This hoofprint must be caused by the Xuanjia army. They led the horse and walked over, and then backed away, just to confuse us... ...Yes! It must be like this!"

Wei Zheng muttered a few more words to himself, his tone becoming more and more firm.

"Then why are these Xuanjia troops here so suspicious? It must be that their real hidden lair is nearby, yes, it must be like this! General Zhao..."

Wei Zheng raised his head and looked at Captain Zhao.

"Let the scouts scout on both sides of the valley, I dare to conclude that those Xuanjia cavalry must be hiding near here."

……

Just when Wei Zheng had searched the valley where the Xuanjia soldiers "previously set up suspicious formations", the monk Zhiyue of the Fahuazong also followed his two nephews all the way, following the traces of the escape of the monk Zhiyu, Came in front of a wooden pavilion.

"Stay on!"

After casually looking at the scene in front of him, Monk Zhiyue stopped immediately, then raised his hand to stop the two middle-aged monks beside him who were about to rush forward.

"Uncle Master?"

The two middle-aged monks stopped and looked at Monk Zhiyue with confusion.

"Did you find anything?"

Monk Zhiyue didn't tell them, but blinked his eyes twice, then scanned around with a serious face, and then his eyes fell on an inconspicuous dark brown mark on the side of a boulder on the ground.

"This is……"

Then, his eyes fell on the ground on the side of the boulder again, on a spot that looked like a lotus flower, but only half of the imprint, he blinked slowly, then moved his eyes again, and landed on a big tree beside him There are a few scratches on the leather.

"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"

Monk Zhiyue folded his palms together and chanted a Buddhist name with a look of compassion on his face.

"It seems that Junior Brother Zhiyan is already in danger, and this is the place where he died..."

"what……"

After hearing what Monk Zhiyue said, the expressions of the two middle-aged monks he was leading changed drastically in an instant.

"Uncle Zhiyue, what did you say, what happened to Uncle Zhiyue?"

Monk Zhiyue still did not speak, but floated forward, squatted down in front of the wooden pavilion, rubbed his hands on the ground for a while, and then frowned.

"Could it be that the old man guessed wrong, did Junior Brother Zhiyu not have a chance to leave a signal? No..."

Then Monk Zhiyue lifted his monk's robe and sat down in front of the wooden pavilion. If Kong Qing had been there, he would have found that the position where he sat was exactly the same as that of Monk Zhiyan.

Then, the monk Zhiyue who was sitting on the ground scanned the hidden place under the wooden pavilion inch by inch, and finally found a little difference in a place that can only be seen from this direction.

"That's right, it's here!"

Monk Zhiyue bent down and looked carefully at the place he found.

This is a wooden pavilion on the side of the wooden pavilion that protrudes vaguely. From a distance, it seems that there is nothing, but when you look closer, you can vaguely see a trace of the Chinese character '亻' that seems to be drawn by someone.

"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"

Monk Zhiyue gently brushed the board with his hands, shook his head slightly, and let out a long sigh.

"This should be the last mark that Junior Brother Zhiyan left for us!"

The two middle-aged monks standing behind Monk Zhiyue looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.They didn't understand at all why Uncle Zhiyue could find the so-called Uncle Zhiyue's last mark in such a secret place.

"You don't understand, this is the power of this sect's unique study "One Thought Three Thousand", which can clearly learn from everything. You can't understand the traces left by the younger brother Zhiyan, but in the eyes of the old monk, there is nothing to hide."

As if he understood the doubts of the middle-aged monks, the monk Zhiyue explained slowly.

"According to the traces left by Junior Brother Zhiyan, the old monk can conclude that Junior Brother Zhiyan was ambushed when he rushed to the front of this pavilion. Although he turned around and left immediately..."

As he spoke, Monk Zhiyue pointed to the dark brown spot on the side of the rock.

"However, he was injured from behind and vomited blood, and then Junior Brother Zhiyan used the step by step lotus and ran away with all his strength..."

Monk Zhiyue pointed to the half mark next to the rock.

"But the other party had already ambushed and stopped him here. After Junior Brother Zhiyan realized that he couldn't escape, he wanted to capture the thief and capture the king. He fought with all his strength, and then he turned around from here..."

As he spoke, Monk Zhiyue pointed his fingers at the scratches on the tree trunk.

"But he was directly defeated here!"

This time, Monk Zhiyue pointed to his side, then closed his eyes slightly, with a sad expression on his face.

"While rolling on the ground, Junior Brother Zhiyan quietly left his last message here!"

Listening to monk Zhiyue's instructions and looking at the traces on the ground, a tragic scene of an elderly monk Zhiyao struggling to kill under the siege of a gang of thieves appeared in front of the eyes of the two middle-aged monks, and tears immediately filled their eyes orbital.

"It's all bad for someone! If it wasn't for protecting someone, Uncle Zhiyan wouldn't..."

"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"

Monk Zhiyue clasped his hands together, with a solemn expression on his face.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, it is Zhitan's own catastrophe. What we can do now is to find the murderer and avenge Zhiyi's junior brother..."

Speaking of this, Monk Zhiyue shook his head slightly.

"It's just that for a while, I still can't figure out what the '亻' left by Junior Brother Zhiyan refers to?"
