Chapter 72
Ouyang Yuanfeng thought about the strength shown by the "Canglang Thief" just now, looked around at the lonely faces of his subordinates, looked at the corpses with severed limbs not far away, and secretly cursed Ouyang Kang's ancestor eighteen But after cursing, he realized that Ouyang Kang's ancestors seemed to be the same as himself, so he felt a little ashamed for disrespecting his ancestors.

Just as Ouyang Yuanfeng was thinking a thousand times, Zi Shang interrupted his thoughts: "Captain Ouyang, the 'Canglang Thief' and a group of thieves actually have such strength, but I think the strength of your department seems to be comparable to theirs. It’s far from the difference, is Lord Inspector so sincere?”

Seeing Zishang's dissatisfaction, Ouyang Yuanfeng was really afraid that Zishang would leave with a shake of his hand. He bowed his hands and saluted with a smile on his face, but because this movement affected his injury, he laughed a little painfully.

Ouyang Yuanfeng said with a painful smile: "President Zi, it's not that the Governor is unwilling to mobilize the army! The mobilization of the army requires the permission of the Ministry of War, and the process cannot be completed in a short while.

In fact, there are not many troops and horses that Lord Inspector can mobilize. Let me tell you the truth, the massacred "Lianpeng Village" is actually the settlement of Lord Inspector's father-in-law's clan, and the more than 20 people stationed there are absolutely However, all of them were killed. In addition to the casualties in the battle in Xishan City, Mr. Governor really couldn't mobilize too many troops. "

Zishang was very keen to grasp that the 'Canglang Thief' seemed to be targeting the governor Ouyang Kang. Whether it was Xiyue City or Lianpeng Village, the target was directed at Ouyang Kang, so he asked: "Is it the governor's personal grievances towards them?" ?”

The question Zi Shang asked was actually a question that Ouyang Kang had never understood. It was a coincidence that the 'Canglang Bandit' attacked Xiyue City first. It was a coincidence that the ancestral hall of the Ouyang family was there, but it was the second attack. 'Lianpeng Village', and the village was once again the settlement of Ouyang Kang's father-in-law's clan, if he still considered it a coincidence, wouldn't he be insulting Ouyang Kang's IQ?

Ouyang Kang knew that the 'Wolf Bandit' was targeting him, but he just couldn't figure out why he was targeting him, but he also understood that this matter was a personal grievance between the 'Wolf Bandit' and him.

Since it was a personal grievance, it naturally had to be resolved in private. Of course, Ouyang Kang couldn't brazenly ask the Ministry of War to send troops to suppress the matter that needed to be resolved in private.

But Ouyang Kang is not willing to characterize the matter as a personal grievance, because private grievances are all about dirty things, even if it is a personal grievance, it needs to be more righteous, so Ouyang Kang still has the cheek to target the "Wolf Thief" against him The reason is due to his hard work, due to his strengthening of the protection of the commercial routes in Yangquan Prefecture over the years, and due to his measures that benefit the country and the people, which have reduced the living space of the thieves, and finally attracted the thieves' revenge!
Facing Zishang's questioning question, Ouyang Yuanfeng explained the reasons Ouyang Kang summed up, but he was not Ouyang Kang, he was not as thick-skinned as Ouyang Kang, and when he said those words that were obviously not convincing Some people lack confidence, how can they show awe-inspiring righteousness if they lack confidence?
In the end, Ouyang Yuanfeng's words only received Zi Shang's indifferent smile, but Zi Shang didn't say anything to stand by after this smile.

From the fight with the "Canglang Thief" just now, Zi Shang has discovered that this living thief is super powerful, so powerful that he has surpassed most of the army in the dynasty. Is it related to the thing that the adults asked me to search secretly here?"

Now that there is a question, it is natural to solve the question, and facing a group of thieves who do all kinds of evil, the best way to get the answer to the question is naturally to beat them to the ground and torture them severely.

Zi Shang had already made up his mind, he opened his mouth and said to Ouyang Yuanfeng who had been waiting for him to speak: "Captain Ouyang, after you rest the team, follow up immediately, I will take my brothers to pursue now, if If they still dare to go back to the forest, then we will abandon our horses and sneak into the forest on foot later, so that the thieves can try their best!"

Ouyang Yuanfeng saw that Zishang did not express his intention to withdraw from the siege operation, of course his face was full of joy, he bent lower, and clasped his hands closer together, so as to make his gesture of saluting more sincere , he said sincerely: "Ouyang Yuanfeng is grateful to President Zi for his righteousness! If there is a need in the future, as long as it does not violate the family, Yuanfeng is willing to obey the orders of the president!"

"Lieutenant, you're being polite. We're all doing our best for the people. Well, don't delay!" After Zi Shang finished speaking, he turned sideways and said loudly behind him: "Brothers! Follow me to pursue."

Following Zi Shang's cry, the beast hunters of the Yutian Guild began to ride their horses and chase in the direction in which the 'Canglang Bandit' retreated.

Where will the 'Wolf Thief' go, or will it return to the forest ten miles away?This is the first problem to be solved in the pursuit. As for how to solve it, of course it needs aerial reconnaissance, and the 'Cangyun Big Eagle' can't be mentioned. If it is still in the 'Canglang Thief', how can it sneak attack?

So he could only rely on himself. Fortunately, among the beast hunters who were traveling with him at this time, there was a master of hunting beasts, his name was Wan Xiaowei, and he was riding in front of the team at this time.

Wan Xiaowei held a piece of talisman paper in each hand. The runes on the talisman paper were passed down from his ancestors. As for whether they were passed down by his ancestors, it is unknown, but he pasted the two pieces of talisman paper on both sides of the bridge of his nose. , squeezed a hand formula with both hands, triggered by Yuanli, the talisman paper emitted a faint white light.

The talisman worked, making Wan Xiaowei's nose very sharp, dozens of times stronger than the sense of smell of the best hounds. He sniffed in the air, and there were fifty wolves in the pack. The smell of gathering together is naturally much stronger than that of one, so Wan Xiaowei quickly and easily discovered the whereabouts of the 'Wolf Thief'.

"President, this way." Wan Xiaowei pointed in the direction, and Zishang and his group ran after him according to his instructions.

Chen Xiaofan, who had been by Zishang's side all the time, after chasing him for a while, finally couldn't help but wondered in his heart and asked: "Father-in-law, if you want to chase, why did those thieves just go after them with all their strength when they retreated?"

Zi Shang smiled slightly and explained: "Xiao Fan, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, so there is a reason why the poor should not chase after them. Just in case, even if we want to chase, we should not be too anxious. If we are too anxious, it will be easier to fall into the trap. , we have Xiao Wan here, so it's safer to follow far away!"

At this time, Chen Xiaofan showed a look of enlightenment, and said with a smile: "Xiaofan is stupid, please help my father-in-law to clarify."

Zi Shang smiled slightly, and continued to ride his horse and follow Wan Xiaowei in pursuit.
