On the seventh day of the fifth month, Zhang Ming, the general of the Shang Shui Army, led his troops to the forest where Huan Hu Cavalry, had been staying a day ago.

Of course, at this time, there was no trace of the Huanhu Cavalry in this forest. However, the several green crows accompanying him felt something was wrong.

There were no brothers in front of the Qing Crows, nor did they leave any marks, as if the Qing Crows were following Huan Hu, and that was the end of this.

"What happened."

The green crows and hidden thieves whose name was called Geng Laoliu said with a serious expression.

This person was once a hidden thief from Genglou, the group of Yin thieves in Yangxia, and was later incorporated into the Qingyao community. His original name has long been forgotten, but the number "six" he carries means that he was once a top-ranking master in Genglou.

"Law—"

Thousands of people stopped Zhang Ming's mount next to Geng Laoliu and other hidden thieves, frowned and asked, "What happened?"

At this time, Zhang Ming had learned that these people were hidden forces recovered by Zhao Hongrun. Moreover, it was the help of these people's tracking ability that Zhang Ming could bite the tail of Huan Hu Cavalry. Otherwise, it would be a dream to track the cavalry with just one infantry.

"I don't know, the mark will be broken when it reaches here..." Geng Laoliu looked around alertly, and then added: "There is no one who responds, and no mark left behind. Something should have happened."

After saying that, his eyes were frozen in the forest in the distance. After staring at it for a few breaths, he whispered: "Please rest for General Zhang's soldiers, and I'll go and inquire."

After saying that, several green crows rushed to the forest quickly.

The speed was so fast that it made people ashamed.

When they arrived at the periphery of the forest, several green crows involuntarily pulled out the dagger behind their waists, looked around, and heard from all directions, tiptoed into the sound, which was silent.

I don't know how far they walked, but they suddenly caught a corpse on the ground.

The faces of the few people changed slightly and they walked forward quietly.

I saw that the corpse, dressed similarly to them, was undoubtedly a member of the Green Crow Crow.

After a glance at each other, one of them stepped forward to check the body, while the other few were vigilantly around.

However, no changes occurred around the surroundings until the companion who examined the body opened his mouth.

"The whole body is stiff, I have been dead for at least one day..."

Hearing this, Geng Laoliu and others took back the dagger from the scabbard behind their waists.

After all, generally speaking, the perpetrator will not stay in place for a long time. Since this companion died a day ago, the murderer who killed him has probably had already evacuated.

"Is it Duan Lou's brother?" Geng Laoliuyi stepped forward and glanced at the body a few times, sighing slightly in his heart.

"Well, it seems like Duan Siqi."

I remember that before the merger was merged into Shangshui Qingya, the relationship between Duan Lou and Genglou was not good or bad, but no matter what, there was some friction on weekdays, so most of them were familiar with each other.

It would have been fine if it were in the past, but now, they are both members of Shangshui Qingya, and someone has actually killed their companions. This is simply a provocation to them Shangshui Qingya.

However, Geng Laoliu didn't care about his anger at this moment, because he noticed the fatal wound of the dead body: a throat! Heart-wrenching!

Kill with one knife!

The second knife to make up for the leak!

『…』

Geng Laoliu's expression changed suddenly because it was the assassination method they used to hide thieves.

"Look around!... Duan Siqi's team of people have about twenty brothers!"

Several crows looked at each other and dispersed around.

After about a stick of incense, they returned to Geng Laoliu and shook their heads sadly.

"I found four brothers, and none of them lived."

"There are nine people on my side, three of whom were assassinated first, and the other six, judging from the wounds of the corpse, they were attacked to death by groups."

"I found the bodies of more than a dozen brothers, and there were traces of dragging corpses in the place. They should be the corpse of the enemy, but they were taken away."

『…』

Geng Laoliu stared at the corpse in front of him with a expressionless face.

It is unimaginable that the hidden thieves who could make the Qing Crows unable to escape. The only explanation is that there were hostile hidden thieves ambushing this forest at that time, and the number was absolutely superior.

"Have you ever left a mark?" Geng Laoliu asked in a deep voice.

Several green crows looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I searched all around the body..."

"I saw that the bark of a tree was scraped off. Judging from the new and old traces, it only took one or two days..."

"I didn't find anything useful either... the other party is very experienced and has left nothing useful."

『Walk together?』

Geng Laoliu frowned again.

To be fair, at this stage, the Qing Crow and the Black Crow are fighting against the hidden thieves in other county towns, so it is not uncommon to offend the hidden thieves. But the problem is that there are few places near Anling where the hidden thieves have no plans.

"Retreat first! Report this matter to His Highness Su!"

"Um!"

Several green crows quickly retreated from the forest. Geng Laoliu stayed and asked a thousand people to bring back the bodies of Zhang Ming's companions in the forest. The remaining green crows quickly returned to Anling and reported the matter to Zhao Hongrun.

I have to say that when I learned about this, both Zhao Hongrun and Duan Pei, the leader of the Qing Crow around him, felt a little incredible.

More than 20 green crows were actually taken away, and no one could escape and bring back the exact information, which was something that black crows could not do.

The only possibility is that the more than 20 green crows were too careless and fell into the ambush of the enemy, so that when they found that something was wrong, it was too late.

"Siqi, Sanjiu...those two idiots!"

After learning about the sacrificed members, Duan Pei cursed in a complicated expression.

It’s not that Duan Pei doesn’t care about the deaths of the other green crows, but because the green crows in Shangshui have not been together for a long time and are still in the running-in period. Therefore, Duan Pei’s feelings for Duan Lou’s brothers are naturally deeper than others.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun sat behind the desk and frowned and pondered his identity.

What Duan Pei suspected was the small hidden thief groups that the Qing Crows and the Black Crows were currently attacking, but Zhao Hongrun didn't think so.

First of all, Ying Kang of the Green Crows and Black Spider of the Black Crows, they suppressed the small hidden thieves group very strongly. The other party should have no spare time to organize people to hunt the Green Crows.

Secondly, the more than 20 green crows were killed while tracking Huan Hu, and Huan Hu was a Korean, and it was almost impossible for him to have any relationship with the Wei State, especially the hidden thieves in the south.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess the other party's identity: it is a force that is willing to "degenerate" to cooperate with forces within the circle of non-hidden thieves, and is strongly dissatisfied with Zhao Hongrun, who is behind the Qingyao. Moreover, this force also has a certain threat.

"It's Jin Gou!" After thinking for a while, Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice: "Duan Pei, send someone to notify the crows to temporarily cancel the order issued by the king to kill Huan Hu, reflect on the black crows, and eliminate the spies among them... Those who are ill-hearted will be killed on the spot, while the other suspects will be temporarily detained and slowly distinguished." Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun paused and added inexplicably: "Call "to do it."

The "天" he mentioned was a young hidden thief cultivated by Jin Gou, the former leader of the Fuqiu people. His relationship with Jin Gou was like a father and son, or a master and apprentice.

Duan Pei understood and clasped his fists and retreated: "I will know the crow, let him stare at the siege..."

Looking at Duan Pei disappearing outside the study door, Zhao Hongrun tapped the desk with his fingers with a little annoyed.

In his eyes, Huan Hu was originally a lunatic who did his own things and acted recklessly, while Jin Gou was a hero who was forced to leave Yangxia Fuqiu and hide and escape. It was not a good thing for these two people to get together.

You know, although Jin Gou's power is not as great as before, he has been the leader of the Fuqiu people for more than ten years. When he was defeated, he took away two or three hundred people. That's not all. If this person raised his arms and shouted, Zhao Hongrun could not even guarantee whether the hidden thieves of the Yuanfuqiu who had joined the Black Crows would be instigated to turn against and follow their old leaders.

“…”

Zhao Hongrun stood up, walked to the window, thinking about the other party’s next steps.

In his opinion, Huan Hu was not like the kind of person who could swallow his anger. Otherwise, he would not have been more than to force his cavalry and gangs to break through the siege a few days ago than to kill Wang Yan.

His actions were undoubtedly a contempt for him, King Su!

Although he is not ashamed of Huan Hu's character, Zhao Hongrun has to admit that this person has the courage of a hero. - it would rather be broken than to be a complete one!

In other words, heroes like Huan Hu are definitely unwilling to swallow this breath and will definitely wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

And there is no need to say much about Jin Gouze.

These two people joined together, and Zhao Hongrun had no doubt that the other party's next step would be a fierce revenge on him.

"Isn't I going to disrupt the competition between Anling and Yanling counties, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun's expression suddenly became much more serious.

You know, at the junction of Anling and Yanling, there are nearly 100,000 people from two counties and counties, even above this number, gathering. The two sides are fighting for one breath and a face. If Huan Hu suddenly comes with his cavalry bandits, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Wei Jiao!...send someone to send a message to Qu Jun, asking him to lead the Yanling army himself to maintain order in the match with Zhai Huang of the Shang Shui Army."

"yes!"

After giving the order, Zhao Hongrun looked up and looked out the window.

He finally decided to be more conservative and waited for the appointment between Anling and Yanling counties to end. After all, there were only a few days left for this appointment.

Wait until the end of this appointment, he will deal with Huan Hu and Jin Gou again.

It’s not that Zhao Hongrun is conservative, but this match is really of great significance, even King Su, can’t afford to lose.

However, at this time, Zhao Hongrun never expected that he had far underestimated Huan Hu's courage and Jin Gou's hatred for him. The latter two had no intention of sneaking into Anling and Yanling counties to make an appointment. They chose the most difficult and most shocking path of revenge.

Attack Shangshui County!

"Puff--"

On the eve of the eighth day of the fifth month, on the wall of Shangshui County, several soldiers of Shangshui Army patrolling the city wall were assassinated by some black-clothed hidden thieves.

Immediately, with the rumbling sound, the Xicheng Gate of Shangshui County slowly opened.

At the same time, Huan Hu led his cavalrymen to rush into the county town.

"Set the fire!...burn this city for me!"

With a sword and a horse, Huan Hu laughed.
Chapter completed!
