Chapter 239: Chasing and Killing(1/2)
call!
call!
Two black shadows roared past, there were no roads in the forest, there were many shrubs and piles of rocks, which was obviously a place that was rarely visited, but it did not affect the speed of the two black shadows at all, and it was as fast as a ghost.
In front was Zhou Yan, who was running away desperately. He was first bombed by earth thunder, and then attacked by many people. He was injured in many places, and he was bleeding while running.
Du Yong was behind him, chasing him to death. He was not injured, but he was also very expensive.
They had been traveling dozens of miles, and both of them were a little panting, but no one was willing to give up.
The forest was pitch black, and Zhou Yan was just passing by blindly. Du Yong brought the luminescent stone, so he took some advantage.
However, what Du Yong did not expect was that Zhou Yan's perseverance and martial arts were even worse than Chen Changfeng, and he was even better than Chen Changfeng.
If Zhou Yan had not been injured, Du Yong would not have dared to chase him alone.
Before the pursuit, Du Yong and Zhou Yan passed forty moves, but Du Yong had to resist, because Zhou Yan made a very fast sword, which was worthy of defending the reputation of the fast sword hand.
Later, Yang Jin led his men to attack Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan had to flee in panic.
Yang Jin also participated in the pursuit, but fell behind halfway and could not catch up with his light skills. He could only loudly tell Du Yong to be careful, and then go back to go with Master Nie and the county magistrate to deal with the large troops of the Fire Wolf Gang.
Zhou Yan is now panicked and doesn't even have time to lift his breath and stop bleeding, because he knows that a little pause will definitely be caught up. Since he was 25 years old, he has never tried to be so embarrassed.
What made Zhou Yan even more angry was that he didn't even understand Du Yong's identity.
Whoosh!
The hidden weapon comes again.
It should be a small bead when listening to the sound.
Zhou Yanxin cursed and pulled it horizontally with all his strength, barely avoiding the back of his head, but his right ear was penetrated by a copper bead.
Pain and bleeding are just trivial matters, and the feeling of frustration is uncomfortable. Zhou Yan didn't dare to turn around and fight back, just because he was afraid of the terrible hidden weapon that could be fired at any time. If he turned around, his head would probably bloom in an instant.
Zhou Yan is quite knowledgeable and cared about Huaili's army. He really couldn't think of a young man in Huaili's army who could use hidden weapons so well.
Pei Song? It is certainly not. It is reported that Pei Song has a very powerful shield, and he keeps his shield away, and as Pei Song's identity, he should not be so risky.
Hu Hefeng? Not right. Hu Hefeng is holding a long sword, while the tracker behind him is holding a short sword.
Short knife?
Zhou Yan's mind suddenly lit up. According to rumors, Du Yong used to use the Dragon Bird, but later changed to the short sword. Zhou Yan originally did not believe this rumor because the Du family's sword technique could not be fully utilized with the short sword.
"Is Mr. Du Yong behind?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan shouted at the top of his throat.
Du Yong was amused and laughed: "I am worthy of being the Military Advisor Zhou, I can guess this."
Zhou Yan was shocked, but soon calmed down and praised: "It turns out that a hero is a young man. Zhou had heard that Prince Yong's skills were greatly reduced due to the assassination of the killer Ji. Unexpectedly, after only so little time, Prince Yong's skills were not only restored, but also made great progress. It is really gratifying!"
Du Yong smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise from Military Advisor Zhou! Military Advisor Zhou is a little unkind. He made up his mind to join the Fire Wolf Gang, but he did not get the value he had imagined. He finally took over Chen Changfeng's stall, but he bumped into our Huaili Army."
Zhou Yan was said to be painful and felt very hated, but he could not refute it. He was indeed not highly valued by the Fire Wolf Gang.
Du Yong continued: "I'm very surprised. Our Huaili Army obviously killed more than 300 grain-grabbing troops from the Fire Wolf Gang before. Why didn't the Military Secretary Zhou seize the time to move away? Could it be that the 300 grain-grabbing troops were simply irrelevant minions. Even if they were all destroyed, Zhou Junshi didn't think how powerful the Huaili Army was? Then you are looking down on people!"
While speaking, he did not forget to launch copper beads.
With a whoosh, Zhou Yan's shoulder was rubbed, and a long piece of flesh was wiped off.
Zhou Yan suffered a double blow from words and body, and could not repay his mouth or hands, and his sense of aggrievance became even higher.
If this continues, sooner or later, Du Yong will be tortured to death. Zhou Yan took a deep breath: "Young Master Yong, can you sit down and have a good talk?"
Zhou Yan was old and knew how to judge the situation. If he could negotiate to save his life, he would not mind paying the price. Even if he couldn't reach the negotiation, he could still use the conversation to disturb Du Yong's mind.
Du Yong agreed without hesitation: "Of course, but Military Secretary Zhou has to throw away his sword first and throw it away a little further."
Zhou Yan was obviously a little happy to hear such conditions. His only reliance now was the sword in his hand. If he threw it away, he would really have to be slaughtered.
Du Yong laughed and said, "When the conversation was about, I promised not to make a sudden attack. If the conversation broke, I can also promise you to run away first, and I will chase you slowly from behind. You have so many wounds, and it smells of blood."
He said this, of course, not to be a good man, but to show his determination to pursue it to the end.
Zhou Yan felt Du Yong's determination and was even more afraid to throw away the sword: "It's better to run and talk!"
Du Yong doesn't care: "It's up to you!"
Zhou Yan paused and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yong, I'm very curious. How much benefit can you do to fight for the court like this?"
Du Yong said lightly: "If you kill you, you will probably be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver. It may be a little less now, because the Ministry of Revenue and Shaofu Temple are both tight."
Zhou Yan laughed intentionally: "Just 5,000 taels of silver? Why not make a deal, I will give you 100,000 taels, how about it?"
Du Yong sneered: "Silver is just a small head. The key is that the boss will take a deposit, so it will be easier to advance in the future. If you pay 100,000 taels, do you think Du is a beggar?"
Zhou Yan was speechless and after breathing, he said, "I don't seem to object to the transaction?"
Du Yong said lightly: "If you have any bargaining chips, just light them up together, don't make them like oil pressing."
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said solemnly: "I have saved about 80,000 taels of gold, my quick knife secret, and my right arm cut off myself, and then permanently withdraw from the world."
The chips are indeed big enough, but Du Yong sneered: "Where are you coaxing the child? You really want to die without a place to bury!"
At this moment, a cliff appeared in front of him, and Zhou Yan jumped down without saying a word.
Du Yong pulled a sudden brake and looked down and couldn't see clearly, but it was certain that the cliff was very high.
Zhou Yan had already fallen for a while, his head was down, and there was no jet dropping speed, and he fell freely. This was a lifelong struggle.
Du Yong decisively threw out the copper bead, his head was very accurate, and hit Zhou Yan in the calf, but because the distance was too far, it was not much power, and it was just a skin trauma.
"sharp!"
Du Yong praised inwardly, without intending to give up, untied his outer robe, supported him with his hands behind him, used him as a simple speed reduction equipment, and then jumped forward with force.
This speed reduction equipment is pretty good, and coupled with the power of true qi spraying, Du Yong was quite at ease in the air and even had time to observe the trajectory of Zhou Yan's whereabouts.
After a few breaths of kung fu, a crackling sound came into the ears.
Zhou Yan obviously bumped into the big tree, broke the branches, and then fell heavily to the ground, making a bang, followed by a sound of running wildly, but the rhythm of the sound was a bit wrong, and it sounded a little limping, probably because he had fallen his leg.
"It's indeed a tough guy!"
Du Yong was impressed and fell on the big tree. Because he had good grasp of the force and direction, he did not break the branches. He borrowed the buffering force of the branches and fell to the ground. He fell heavily and almost fell apart.
He quickly stood up and Du Yong took a breath of his true energy, which not only relieved the pain in his body, but also smelled the smell of blood and sweat, accurately grasping the direction of Zhou Yan's escape.
Now that it has been a long distance, there is nothing to say, so I will chase it with all my might.
On the other hand, Nie Lord Bo and Huaili County Magistrate were full of energy.
In this battle, Huaili Army won a great victory.
Facing more than 1,500 bandits from the Fire Wolf Gang, they first used firearms, then finished stabbing and rushing to defeat the Fire Wolf Gang. After most of the fire Wolf Gang was killed and injured, they had to flee in all directions.
Because he was not very familiar with the terrain and it was late at night, the Huaili County Magistrate did not order his full pursuit. After arresting more than a dozen living people, he ordered the troops to be withdrawn and then repaired on the spot.
Zhao Deju was not dead, and he was stabbed more than a dozen times when he fought hard. Although he had stopped the blood, the pain was unbearable. He threw the sword and lay on the grass and hummed.
Pei Song was much better, just two stabs, thanks to the two guards and the Shuipai Shield, but his ears were a little buzzing, and he was made by the serial explosion of the firearm. He needed a good rest, so he was also lying on the grass and didn't want to say anything.
Hu Hefeng, Jiang Buping and Duan Zixiao could not see it. They were covered in blood. After the attack, they lay on the ground and slapped. If Pei Song's guards had not helped him, they might have foamed at the mouth.
The most surprising thing is that Master Nie was not only killed twice, but also was not depressed at all, and was able to bandage the wounded soldiers.
The Huaili County Magistrate asked Master Zhang to lead people to war damage and spoils.
The trophy is very generous, with two warehouses, granary and equipment warehouse, both intact.
The damage to the war is difficult to count because many enemies are blown up and counting corpses is difficult and it takes a certain amount of time. However, it is certain that the enemy has at least more than a thousand deaths in battle.
However, it is easy to count the losses of our own people, and more than 150 people were killed in battle, almost everyone was injured.
"We have prepared so well, why have we died so many times in battle?"
After Pei Song recovered his strength a little, he happened to hear Master Zhang's report and felt very moved.
Master Nie sighed: "Although we have the advantage of sneak attacks, there are more enemies after all, and they are desperate to jump over the wall."
The Huaili County Magistrate said seriously: "It's already very good to have this result. This gang of more than a thousand people is Chen Changfeng's old foundation. He walked almost horizontally outside the wilderness of Huaili County before. After Zhou Yan took over, he did not use his foundation easily, but sent people to gather the little hooligans everywhere and rob food, money and equipment everywhere."
Master Zhang was very confused: "Sir, I have found the granary and the equipment warehouse now, but I haven't found the money warehouse yet. I only found a dozen boxes of copper plates in the main village. This is obviously not right. It is impossible that there is no gold and silver."
The county magistrate Huaili said lightly: "Then go find it again, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find it."
Master Zhang agreed loudly.
Master Nie asked, "Where is Zhou Yan?"
Pei Song shook his head: "We originally surrounded Zhou Yan, but he rushed out and Lao Du chased after him. I guess there should be no big problem."
Master Nie frowned: "Du Yong? He dares to chase after him alone?"
Pei Song explained: "Zhou Yan was seriously injured, and even if Lao Du couldn't take him down, there should be no danger."
Master Nie said in a deep voice: "Even if that's the case, I still have to send someone to pick up Du Yong!"
The county magistrate nodded and was about to select personnel, Master Zhang interrupted: "Guard Yang has gone. He told me that Mr. Du should not be in any major danger, so there is no need to send additional people to pick him up. Everyone should rest and take good care of themselves, so as to avoid the dispersed enemy being shot back. After all, they have escaped a lot."
