Dark Fairy

Chapter 264 Hurry up
"Sword!"

In the middle of the night, Bailang was knocked on the door by his guards in his bedroom.He didn't sleep at all, and used meditation instead of sleep, but when his practice was interrupted, he still frowned subconsciously.

However, it is impossible for the guards under him not to know that it is the time of cultivation at this time, and they rushed to disturb him, so it must be an extremely important matter.

"What's the matter?"

"Zao Dao, it's an urgent report from the south!"

Hearing this, Bailang got up quickly, walked out of the bedroom, and took a long copper box from the guard.

After dismissing the guards, Bailang took the box and sat down in front of the desk in the room.Then he took out a small odd-shaped key to unlock the box, then lifted the lid and took out a secret scroll.

After checking the sealing wax on the secret scroll, he unfolded the contents and quickly read it, with a look of deep worry on Bai Lang's face.

I saw that the secret volume wrote: Pengshan pass was broken, the black tiger general Zhao Panshan was killed in battle, and the Panshan army retreated with only more than [-] seeds left.Now all the roads from Pengshan City to Tianfeng Plain are locked, and all materials are directly requisitioned, and no one can move at will.

The content is short, but the value is high.

"Everything will be different now!"

As soon as the next day dawned, Bailang gathered all the red knives in the knives shop in the hemp rope alley, and forwarded the news he had only received a few hours ago.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, when they actually saw the news, their hearts sank and a sad look appeared on their faces.

"Zao Dao, you still have a high foresight! I judged that Pengshan City could not be defended before, but now it is really broken. Next, the whole country will inevitably be turned upside down by Yunyan's barbarians. I am afraid that our Yongchuan City will not be safe. We Can you transfer the necessary things and people to the retreat route you mentioned last time?"

The Red Knife present had been notified by Bailang before, and the whereabouts of the manpower and some money in the knife shop were also falsified from the accounts, and the final flow was the "retreat" that Bailang said.

Everyone knows that Bailang is arranging an escape route for the sword hall to avoid the disaster, but few people know what this escape route is and where it is.

It's just that even Liu Xu and Zhou Dong, who are close to Bailang, don't know about it, but Yang Xiu, who is in charge of this matter, knows the inside story.

"You want to run away now?" Bailang looked at the red knife who spoke just now with a half-smile.He is not surprised that the people below have such a reaction.The people in the sword hall are relatively brave and ruthless. When they really met Yunyan Barbarian, they still felt guilty.It is urgent to have a safe place to avoid disaster as soon as possible.

"Zudao, once the situation changes, it will happen in a blink of an eye. By then, all water and land routes will be blocked, and it will be too late to leave. Moreover, the matter is very important, and we also want to help Zuodao share his worries."

This is a humble statement, but it has the meaning of hoping that Bailang will confess.

"Are you teaching me?"

"Ah? This subordinate doesn't dare!" The Red Knife who spoke was startled, and hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands.

"It's not appropriate to tell you about the retreat for the time being, lest someone take advantage of it and disrupt the overall plan. Moreover, it is not easy to find a retreat that can accommodate our knife studio, and it will take some time. Before that, I I hope that you will continue to keep silent about the news of the retreat, and don't reveal the slightest to anyone."

It looked like Bailang was after a short meeting to announce the news of Pengshan Passing the pass.Zhou Dong, Liu Xu, and Yang Xiu were called alone to the small courtyard where Bailang handles affairs.

Screen back the guards.Bailang first asked Yang Xiu to give a detailed introduction to Zhou Dong and Liu Xu about Daomen Village.

After Yang Xiu finished speaking, he finally said: "Daomen village treated us as fat sheep at the beginning, so they agreed to open the gate of the village and let us rent some places to store things. Later, we found out that the big man we deliberately brought over to show them After the crossbow, his attitude became much more cautious.

However, after a period of contact, the brothers also discovered a lot of strange things in Daomen Village.

First of all, the smell of medicinal materials is indeed often smelled in Daomen Village, especially after the batch of medicinal materials that we promised them to be counted as the rental fee arrived, every morning, we can faintly smell the smell of medicinal materials when they are being processed, but it is not the same as The smell is different when it is boiled in the medical hall.And I haven't seen anyone in Daomen village who needs so many medicines for any disease.

So I suspect that there should be a special habit of preparing medicine in Daomen Village.It's just that I don't know what medicine I prepared.This is one of the odd ones.

The second strange thing is that Daomenzhai has been recruiting soldiers with the money we gave them recently, which means to expand their momentum.But it's weird.Most of the people they recruited were ordinary people who had lost their livelihoods and had nowhere to go. They were strong and fierce, and many of them were family members.Often when one person is recruited, three or two couples are brought into the cottage.

The third is that Daomen Village seems to be very good at training Bai Ding.He can teach with knives and guns, and it can be seen that there are many routines.And also teach people how to practice bow.I heard from Qiu Chongxi that there used to be a bow and arrow formation of about thirty people in Daomen Village, and they played very well. "

Yang Xiu had already told Bailang about these things before.For this Daomen village, Bailang never expected that such episodes would come out.No matter how you look at it, these three strange actions were not done by a normal bandit cottage.

Zhou Dong and Liu Xu also noticed the unusualness.But their focus is different.

Zhou Dongdao: "It sounds very planned, it's different from ordinary thieves and bandits. Why did this kind of cottage get so mixed up that it couldn't even do business? Why don't you send two street wanderers who are good at finding out the news? Digging?"

But Liu Xu bluntly said that he was worried: "This Daomen village is not a normal group of bandits. Whether it is training bows and arrows, or recruiting people with families, they are not very compatible with bandits. And if there are Why not use such means to rob Dao? Confused with such a situation?

Seat knife, there must be some trouble hidden in this kind of place.I think it's better to change places. "

The different ideas of Zhou Dong and Liu Xu are actually not contradictory in Bailang's view.He himself had thought about these issues.

"Let's not talk about whether there is such a favorable geographical location, and it is already too late. So now we can only deal with Daomen Village.

Yang Hongdao, in terms of manpower, how many more can you mobilize here? "

Bailang didn't talk about it or make any guesses about Daomen Village.Right now, as mentioned at the Red Knife Meeting just now, time is running out and things may change at any time. Instead of guessing and hesitating, it is better to cut in first and take one step at a time.

"Returning the Seat Knife. At present, there are only a dozen people who can spare. But they have mastered the basic usage of the big crossbow and can form a simple crossbow array."

Bailang frowned slightly when he heard this, the manpower was much more nervous than he imagined.And the big crossbow, which he regarded as a "hidden danger" before, has now become a trump card that he can use.

But the number is too small.
