Chapter 50 Qin Ziang's Stratagem
The bartender forced a smile, "The guest officer was joking. How can I know this news, a wine seller? I am a timid villain, and I don't even dare to leave the inn on weekdays."
"I'm timid? Hehe, what a joke? As a spy on Langshou Mountain, how can I do it if I'm timid? And I can still remain calm in the face of so many people. I think you're very brave."
The bartender suddenly changed color, but Old Geng next to him had already shouted, "Take it!" Several retainers rushed forward and pressed the bartender directly to the ground.
The few drinkers there didn't know what was going on, and they wanted to move nervously. The hidden fugitive rushed up in fear and rushed directly to the door. However, Liu Qingyun suddenly pulled out the Miao knife and chopped off the man's head with one knife. Blood sprayed all over the floor, and the lobby was extremely quiet for a moment.
"Sit all for me. There is nothing you can do here, but if you act rashly, don't blame me for killing me."
Everyone was shocked and no one dared to move anymore.
The group left the inn, returned to the wilderness outside, and set up tents to prepare for camp.
The unlucky spy was pulled closer to the tent and began to interrogate.
The spy could not think of how he was discovered, but he also knew that with just one move, he would definitely die, so he could only grit his teeth and resist.
However, the more this happens, the more Liu Qingyun and others realize that this person is definitely in trouble.
The screams in the tent rang for half an hour, but the spy still did not confess.
Lao Geng, who was in charge of the torture, was a little tired. "Boy, you can't survive even if you don't, and you can still have a good time. If you can help us lead the way up the mountain, we may be happy, spare your life and reward you with some money, so that you can live in peace. Wouldn't that be nice? Why should you hold on so hard?"
The spy said that I believed you evilly and smiled bitterly, "I really don't know what you are talking about. I'm just a bartender."
"You're still stubborn, okay, then you can just hang here first. I'll continue to clean up you after I'm full and supper. I'll see how long you can last."
After saying that, Lao Geng left the tent. It was dark at this time, and the soldiers outside had already lit a fire and put the dried food cakes he brought on the fire and roasted them.
Zhang Luochen, Qin Zi'ang and Yang Baichuan had prepared chicken legs and meat buns for eating. He had prepared a serving for Liu Qingyun, but Liu Qingyun expressed his desire to share the joys and sorrows with his subordinates, so he did not accept it. He took the big pancake and ate it with his subordinates.
Seeing Lao Geng coming out and also brought him a cake, Lao Geng looked at the big cake in his hand, then looked at the delicious food in the hands of Zhang Luochen and others, and suddenly sighed, "Oh, being a god is just a happy life, and eating better than ordinary people. Not like us miserable mortals, we can only eat some dry food cakes. I'm over fifty today, and my teeth are not good, alas."
While saying that, he glanced over there. Zhang Luochen thought that this old man was quite good at doing things, "Old Geng, right? Let's have something together." As he said that, he threw a bun over.
Old Geng was not humble and took it to eat it. "Thank you for your deliciousness."
Liu Qingyun finally finished gnawing on his big cake, chatted and joking with his knights, boosted his morale, and then walked back to the fire here.
"How is it, are there any gains?"
Old Geng shook his head: "That kid looks like a gangster, his bones are very hard, I'm afraid it's going to be worn out. The bandits in Wolf-Shou Mountain are indeed a bit of a foundation. Even the sleuths sent out are so powerful. If they can't find the other party's nest and kill them in one fell swoop, it would probably be very troublesome."
Liu Qingyun also agreed with it after hearing this. Being able to make his subordinates so loyal means that the boss of this copycat must be very capable, and such a person cannot be underestimated.
Qin Zi'ang suddenly said, "I have a way."
Old Geng glanced at him, "Young Master Qin and a scholar also know how to plan?"
"Don't look down on people. I have read many military books on weekdays. Now I just thought of a plan. Since that person is so stubborn, why don't you just pretend to let that person go. The person will definitely escape back to the copycat to report the news. We just followed along the way, found the other party's nest, and wiped it out in one fell swoop. What do you think?"
Lao Geng couldn't help but sneer, "We are not familiar with the roads in this mountain. What if the tracking fails? Once the man is asked to escape back to the mountain village, the bandits will definitely be prepared, either ambushing or escaping, which is not a good thing for us."
Qin Zi'ang was annoyed by Lao Geng's repeated criticism, "What do you think of? This Langshou Mountain is more than a hundred miles away, and we only have these two hundred people. How to find it? Why would you take a chance? Captain Liu has recruited so many people, so there should be a few who are good at tracking."
After hearing this, Liu Qingyun refused to comment, but looked at Zhang Luochen, "What method does Master Zhang have?"
Zhang Luochen thought to himself that you really think of me as a god. What can I do? If I were at level 60, I could summon a flying mount and conduct air reconnaissance directly. Now I can't even summon a level 20 pony, but I don't think about it.
"Shake my head and said, I have nothing to do."
Liu Qingyun was a little disappointed and pondered for a moment, "Soldiers are very fast. We will sooner or later be discovered by bandits. Since this is the case, it is better to take a chance. I will go to the team to ask and pick a few hunters who know how to track. If there is a suitable candidate, let's start to act tonight."
When Liu Qingyun left the fire, Yang Baichuan suddenly pulled Zhang Luochen's sleeve and whispered, "Immortal Master, I can give it a try. I used to hunt wild animals and hunt tiger bears in the mountains. I know very well the traces left by animals and humans in the mountains and forests. As long as that person returns to the mountain village, he will definitely leave traces along the way. At that time, I will not find the whereabouts of the mountain village along the lines."
Zhang Luochen said strangely, "Oh, why didn't you say it just now?"
Yang Baichuan said, "I'm afraid that the young master will not want to participate in this matter. If I say it rashly, I'm afraid that the young master will not want to agree and cannot hide his face, so I didn't speak up. I'll ask the young master what he meant in private.
Isn’t the young master going to subdue demons? How could Yang be away from him then?"
Zhang Luochen thought to himself that Yang Baichuteng had a lot of ideas, and he knew to ask himself first. It seemed that he really regarded himself as his master. He had no experience as a leader in the past and had never thought about this before.
"It's okay. Originally, I just sensed the approximate location of the demon who was born. I'm not sure where the demon is. Why not just let the demon go naturally and help Captain Liu."
But he didn't know how to say that he was just rushing to kill bandits and earn experience.
After a while, Liu Qingyun picked a few Hunter Mountaineering people from the team and prepared to carry out Qin Zi'ang's plan.
Zhang Luochen said to Liu Qingyun, "Person Liu, my disciple was originally a hunter. He had hunted tigers and was very good at tracking skills in the mountains and fields. Maybe he could join the tracking team."
Liu Qingyun looked at Yang Baichuan, but he was very impressed by this strong man with a tiger back and a bear waist.
"That's all this brother Yang."
At night, Lao Geng beat the spy again and beat him half to death. Seeing that he still didn't say anything, he tied him up and went to bed by himself.
The spy was lying on the cold ground, feeling despair in his heart. Before he knew it, a few hours passed. The pain in his body made it difficult for him to fall asleep. Just as he was confused, a slight noise suddenly came from outside the tent, but when the curtain was opened, a man came in from outside the tent.
"Brother, don't speak out, I'm here to save you."
The spy was delighted, but immediately became alert again.
"Who is my brother and why do you want to save my life?"
"I was a fugitive who killed people and wanted to go up the mountain to get married, but I guess you couldn't believe me. The boy from the Liu family was going to lead troops into the suppression, so I got into the team and prepared to take a letter of surrender. Now, seeing that you are in trouble, you are in trouble, but I can't bear it. I want to save your life. When you return to the copycat and report it, you must tell me this sincerity to your king for me.
This team will enter the mountain tomorrow. Your king can find a good place to ambush. Then I will raise the cigarette as a sign and you will come out and kill these officials and soldiers together. Wouldn't that be happy? Please allow me to join the group at that time."
The spy looked happy when he heard this, but he secretly doubted in his heart that this was the plan of the officers and soldiers? He asked himself to deceive everyone in the village? If I go back to the village, wouldn’t I fall into the trap?
But in the end, the will to survive prevails. I thought I just told the leader what happened. As for how to decide, it was not my own problem.
"Then I'll thank you brother. As long as I can go back alive, I will explain this to the boss."
"Haha, then I'm relieved. Brother, my name is Li Sanlang. I'm from Rongyang Town. I have some reputation on the road. Come on, let's go now." After saying that, he cut off the rope that tied the spy with him and walked out with him.
When he arrived outside the camp and saw that there was no one around, "Li Sanlang" pointed to the dark woods in front of him, "Then is Langshou Mountain. Brother Tai will leave quickly. If someone finds out, he will definitely send someone to chase him. He will not be able to leave at that time."
The spy stopped hesitating and turned around and crawled into the woods. It was dark and dark, deep and shallow, and the pain was all over his body. It was very difficult to walk, and he didn't care about covering up the traces at all.
Not long after the person left, a group of five people came out of the camp over there. It was the tracking team led by Yang Baichu.
"That person went there." The ranger who called himself Li Sanlang pointed to Shulin and said.
"Leave the rest to me. Just go back and report to the captain. I will leave a mark along the way." Yang Baichuan took people to chase after him.
The spy was stumbled and walking in the mountains and forests was a dangerous level. Even under normal circumstances, it was very dangerous, let alone he was half dead now.
However, his will to survive made him persist and unable to give up. His familiarity with the terrain of the Wolf-head Mountain also allowed him to gradually find a way to understand.
After hiking in the woods for a long time, as the sky became darker and darker, as if it was the night before dawn, the spy's physical strength could not hold on anymore. He sat down on the clearing between the woods in the mountains and panted, and panted. At this moment, in the quiet night, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly gradually approached from a distance.
The spy looked into the darkness and saw only a pair of green eyes, shining. When the black shadow got closer, with the moonlight, the spy could finally see that it was a strong wild wolf, looking straight at him.
The spy was not afraid when he saw the wolf, but instead showed a look of joy.
