My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 415 Dragon in the Clouds

The night clouds cover the stars and the moon, and Fuyang government officials and police officers armed with knives and sticks hold torches and move slowly in groups through the mountains and forests.

In the light of the torch, the knives and sticks in their hands were beating the grass, and their eyes were scanning under the trees and in the shadows of the grass, searching every inch, not sparing any corner.

It was already late at night the next day.

The team of envoys sent to Yue State were lost on the border of Huizhou. From the top officials to the prefects, down to the government officials and police officers, they couldn't even eat. If they were missing again, I don't know whether the heads of the people on top could be saved. Their jobs would definitely be lost. Can't keep it.

They used to be sneaky and playful, but now they have all restrained themselves. No matter how tired they are, they will find some clues and report to the top.

The three-person team had just searched the front and turned to the mountainside to continue the investigation. The branches swayed in the darkness, and a black shadow fell from the tree.

The moment he rushed into the moonlight, there was a soft 'pop' sound as the blade penetrated the flesh.

He rushed down from the shadow and fought with two of the agents. He blocked the knife, grazed the opponent's blade, turned around and slashed, killing the second agent.

The black shadow kicked again, hitting the policeman who had just raised his knife to block, and kicked him two feet away, flying backwards. His body hit the tree, shaking the tree and causing leaves to fall like rain.

At this moment, what happened in just a breath, the third one was the Yamen servant, his reaction was a little slower, he swung the water and fire stick in his hand, and was pinched by the black shadow, and snatched the stick away, and the steel knife in his hand was With a 'pop' sound, it was inserted into the Yamen servant's abdominal cavity, and with a twist, the organ was pulled out.

In the darkness, the same thing happened in many places in this mountain forest.

Most of the dispatched police officers and government officials were quickly assassinated. The remaining police officers and government officials who continued to sweep in behind discovered the bodies of their colleagues and sounded alarms in the sky.

The team that was still deep in the forest heard the vigilant sound of arrows, and they were on guard. The moment a figure suddenly jumped out, the two detectives put their swords together to block the opponent's attack, and cooperated to stop the opponent's attack. The Yamen servant threw the fishing net and was sneak attacked. The moment the officer tore open the officer with his knife and kicked him away with his kick, two policemen came in to kill him.

The figure of the attacker kept waving his knife to block and counterattack, then retreated and walked into the mottled moonlight. The two detectives saw the other's face, which turned out to be a woman.

The attacker did not stop. In the mottled moonlight, he unfolded his wide sleeves and threw a hidden weapon. He knocked over a policeman and jumped into the shadows of the forest.

The remaining detectives quickly checked the injuries of their colleagues and bandaged them while shouting loudly. Soon more detectives rushed towards this direction and followed the woman's retreat route to re-deduce the pursuit route. The experienced detectives He turned his head, looked at the map in his hand, and even mapped out locations where people could hide in the mountains.

"Immediately report this news to General Meng and tell him that the group may be in this mountain. Hurry!"

Soon after time passed, crowds gathered at the foot of the mountain and began a carpet search of the mountain forest. The female attacker just now bounced between the branches, then landed and walked up the mountainside.

The wind on the mountain was very strong, causing the woman's hair to dance wildly. The blue-white moonlight shone palely on the rocks and grass. She quickly walked through the moonlight, and quickly and nimbly dodged into a nearby cave.

The wind blew whiningly at the entrance of the cave, and there was an obvious warmth coming inside. There was a fire burning in the deepest part of the long cave path.

After the woman entered, two daggers came out from the shadows nearby silently. The moment they came into contact with the woman, the latter whispered something in Liang Guohua.

The pair of knives silently retracted into the shadows, and a man's voice inside said softly: "Go in."

Inside the cave, the light of the bonfire was more obvious. There was a small pot on the burning fire, and simple food was stewed in it. A few rabbit skins and bones fell on the floor.

More than twenty men wearing fur coats or Central Plains robes gathered around the fire, staring at the swaying flames with silent eyes. Some broke off dead branches and threw them into the fire, which made a crackling sound. The weapons at his feet were still stained with blood. It was obvious that he had just carried out an assassination from outside and then retreated back.

They only looked up at the woman who walked in over there, and then continued to stare at the fire. Some of them said hello to the woman.

"How many have been killed?"

"Only one person was injured. They are already wary of us and have sent many extra men. Our position may have been exposed."

"The government agent is in trouble. Tell the boss, let's move him as soon as possible."

"...I don't understand what we are arresting those people for, just kill them."

While these people were talking, they were all women who sat down to warm themselves by the fire while lowering their voices. Looking towards the other side of the cave, they saw several bound figures.

It was a few days ago that they attacked the team and captured an emperor's concubine and two civil servants.

Even though they didn't understand, just killing these three people would be considered as completing the last emperor's will. In the end, everyone dispersed, each seeking their own way to survive.

Unexpectedly, the boss wanted to arrest the people, which led to people from the Xia Kingdom's government everywhere searching for them. They could only live in the mountains and did not dare to go out easily.

After a while, there were footsteps coming out of a cave in the cave. On the right was Lang Nu, the person with the highest martial arts skills in the team. He also had a certain strategy. He was a first-class master in the Fengpin Hall. Before Emperor Liang died, he They were ordered to look for an opportunity to get rid of the lieutenant general of the Xia Army. Unfortunately, before they could take action, the flood came. Afterwards, the Liang Kingdom was destroyed and the emperor died. They could not find a chance to take action.

When they arrived, they followed the Xia army all the way to the Central Plains. They first sneaked into Luyang to observe for a while, but when they saw that there was still no chance, they were about to give up. When the Xia envoys went to Yue State, there were two generals and two A famous civil servant escorted the imperial concubine back to Yue Kingdom.

Compared with the assassination in Luyang, setting up an ambush halfway, it was much easier to deal with a team of only 2,000 people.

It's a pity that even after using Tianlangyan, the generals of Xia Kingdom were not left behind. They had to take away the Xia Emperor's woman and two civil servants first. Firstly, they could be used for personal protection. Secondly, they could be used as protection. Ask for a batch of gold and silver, and the group of people who follow you will share the money and live well whether they return to the northwest to make a living or stay in seclusion in the Central Plains.

The man walking on the left side of the prodigal slave has a stooped body and speaks occasionally with a high-pitched voice. He cannot tell the difference between male and female.

"This emperor's concubine must not be touched. She is the princess of the Yue Kingdom and Zhaoyi of the Xia Kingdom. She is more valuable than those two old men."

"Well, I also understand that you can ask for property from the Emperor of Xia and the Emperor of Yue."

The two of them walked to the bonfire. People around the fire stood up and saluted them. The woman who had just returned said softly in Liang Guohua:

"Boss, there are more and more people searching at the bottom of the mountain. It's time to move to another place."

Langnu nodded, looked at the three captives over there, sat down by the fire, and took out a stewed rabbit leg without fear of the boiling heat in the pot, and wolfed it down.

Immediately, he also called to his subordinates: "Take a bite and move to another place later."

The words came out and then stopped. The group of people in the cave remained silent. They nodded fiercely and looked back at the three prisoners. Then they quickly took out the food from the pot and stuffed the meat and bones into their mouths. The inside was rotten, so he got up and went over to lift the two men and one woman up.

They are all masters of the Fengpin Hall of the Liang Kingdom. Now that their country is gone and the emperor they are loyal to is gone, they are still doing these things with the prodigal slaves. Most of them are just to get a group of people that are enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. property.

The three people who were raped were the prisoners this time.

Qin Hui and Wang Lang's hair was disheveled, their robes were torn, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth towels. The woman next to her was none other than Meng Yuyin. The gold hairpin and jade beads on her head had long been taken away by this group of people as trophies, and she looked equally embarrassed.

"What a beautiful sweetheart."

Meng Yuyin was pulled out, and the figure beside the prodigal slave gently touched the woman's face and praised in a high-pitched voice, "The Emperor of Xia Kingdom is really blessed."

"Woo!" There was only a little firelight in the cave, and Meng Yuyin had a fierce temper. She stared at the other party and whimpered, shaking her head, trying to get rid of the other party's fingers. After watching like this for a while, the figure withdrew his hand and asked them to take the three prisoners away. He and the prodigal slave walked behind to discuss some matters.

"You want property, and I want the "General's Night Banquet" in the emperor's hand. After this is done, you and I will never see each other again, and no one will know each other."

Lang Nu said "Okay!" and the two of them left the cave and came outside.

The next moment, both of them stopped, "What's going on?" Lang Nu asked in a low voice. In front of his field of vision, on the rugged and narrow mountain road, a group of men in front of him were standing still holding the Xia envoy and the imperial concubine. Move and look at the darkness ahead together.

"Boss, there is someone in front."

Lang Nu and the man next to him stepped forward quickly. The forest fields were rustling in the mountain wind, and there were heavy footsteps walking towards them on dead leaves and gravel.

"Who?!"

"careful!"

"We were still found by the Xia people!"

The masters of Fengpintang casually threw aside the captives and raised their weapons. Lang Nu took out a pair of iron rods from his waist and stepped forward boldly.

In the dim forest, a tall figure walked out slowly, leaning slightly, carrying something on his shoulder, and kept walking.

When they walked out of the shadows, a figure was revealed carrying a coffin in front of them. Wang Lang, who was stuffed with a cloth, opened his eyes wide and struggled excitedly. He was kicked by the Liangguo woman next to him before he became quiet.

boom!

The coffin was put down vertically. Pound held a knife in one hand and supported the coffin in the other. His eyes swept over the people from the Northwest Liang people on the mountain. His voice was low and hoarse: "This coffin is prepared for you. If I am not as skilled as others, , is where I am buried.”

Some people across from him could understand his words, while others heard them as if they were written in heaven.

"Buried? Let you die without a burial place!"

Someone rushed towards him. Pang De supported the coffin and raised his hand to block the opponent's weapon with a knife. Then he kicked the opponent in the abdomen, sending the person flying away. Pound opened the long knife in his hand, "You guys think you still have a chance to leave?"

The moment he finished speaking, a figure rushed out of the darkness on the hillside. A mace in his hand swept through the night. The sound of gold and iron clashing and bones breaking sounded one after another. Among the crowd, the one closest to the foot of the mountain was Among the two people, one was beaten back while holding the knife edge, and the other's head was smashed like a watermelon.

"Hahaha! General Pang, Meng Tuo is here to help you!" The figure who had stopped swaying horizontally raised his hand and shouted: "Young men!"

In the forest and under the hillside, a fire suddenly lit up. Fifty soldiers, plus more than a hundred detectives, stood up or came out from the ground, weeds, and gaps in the rocks.

There was a Fengpintang master nearby who reacted quickly. He waved away his weapon and rushed towards Pound in front: "Kill him first!"

Pang De held the upright coffin, and the long knife in his hand flew open in the mountain wind, bringing with it the sound of howling wind, and slashed open it with a bang.

The Fengpintang master who rushed over flew half of his body up, while his lower body was still running on the ground with the remaining strength. His upper body flew back in front of everyone's field of vision, dragging a line of blood. Blood poured out and fell on everyone's faces.

Many people were so frightened by the sword that they took several steps back. On the other side of the mountain, Meng Tuo, who was holding a mace, had beaten the person who rushed up to him and rolled him on the ground into a gourd of blood. Spreading up from below.

Pang De stood there with a long knife in his hand, but no one dared to pass by, "Barbarians, you have failed me in my duty. If I don't cut you to pieces with a thousand swords, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

"Enter him, and the others follow me!" Lang Nu knew that he must not be entangled by the people brought by Meng Tuo, so he could only give up a small part to block the other party, and took the opportunity to leave with Princess Xia.

"Haha, hahaha! Escape? Where can you escape to!" Pang De let go of the coffin, kicked away the stones under his feet, and threw them forward. Lang Nu raised his hand and punched the stones away. He took a hard look at this person. A general from the Xia Kingdom reached out to grab Meng Yuyin, pinched the back of the girl's neck, and rushed down the hillside from the other side first.

The woman in the Fengpin Hall also arrested Wang Lang, while another man grabbed Qin Hui and followed closely behind the boss with more than a dozen companions.

"Don't let them run away!"

Meng Tuo rushed forward with a mace, but was stopped by several masters. When the soldiers and police officers rushed up, Pang De dragged the long knife and had already killed the four masters in Fengpintang, and kept moving forward. The long knife opened and closed in his hand, and weapons different from those of the opponents clashed with each other, and the fan of the knife turned into a cold light.

Pound's voice boomed: "Cut it off!"

The light of the swinging sword passed by, and all four weapons were cut off and flew out. Pound twisted his feet, holding the knife in both hands, and the blade passed across the chests of the four people, splashing out in a semicircular arc.

The moment the blade grazed the air and fell to the ground, the four of them fell backwards.

"Meng Tuo, I leave this to you!"

Pang De didn't look back, and ran out quickly dragging his long sword, chasing after a group of Liang Guo Fengpin Hall masters who had just retreated.

At the same time, Lang Nu led the remaining dozen people down the hillside and passed through a bush. He looked back at the mountainside and heard the faint sound of fighting.

"Just take a break here."

He was afraid that he would be too anxious and exhaust the three prisoners, who were just ordinary people, to death, so he asked everyone to be on guard here and stop to take a breath.

Just when he opened his mouth to say these words, the woman beside him was taking off his water bag, suddenly turned around and whispered: "The sound of horse hooves!"

Langnu suppressed the sound that just came into his mouth, his ears twitched, and then he looked in the direction where the woman was looking. His face gradually became a little pale. In the field outside the woods, the weeds were curling up, and there was the gentle sound of horse hooves. , and the sound of bells on the horse's neck, 'ding-dong-dang' echoing in the night.

A man and a horse came slowly. In the darkness, the opponent was riding on horseback, holding a gun in one hand, and his cloak was flying.

However, what makes people hold their breath is that there is a layer of white air surrounding the other party, rising like cold air, and a dragon tumbling in the clouds.

"Wait..."

Under the silver helmet, the heroic face gently opened its lips, "...prepare to be killed in the wilderness."

The cold voice fell, and the white horse neighed loudly, carrying the figure above, and suddenly stood up.

The moment the horse's hoof fell, it was like a white dragon in the clouds streaking across the field, killing the panicking crowd on the opposite side under the cold moonlight.

Human arms, fur coats, blood, and minced meat rose into the sky——
