Chapter 104

A bright moon hangs in the sky, exuding a clear brilliance.

Under the moonlight, Gao Mingyue drove away and gradually saw a mountain peak appearing in front of her eyes.

That is Hujun Mountain.

When he first entered Yizhou two days ago, Han Chengxu also talked about some local scenery.

There is a legend in Hujun Mountain that Liu Xiu was chased by Wang Mang to the mountain and hid in a ruined temple. A big spider weaved a big web at the door. Wang Mang chased his troops and saw the spider web at the temple door intact. , so I thought that Liu Xiu would not hide in the temple...

But legends are legends, Gao Mingyue knew that if she hid in any cave, there would definitely not be spiders to weave webs.

She took out the knife, hesitated whether to cut the reins and throw away the carriage, and rode further north.

But after thinking about it, she finally reined in the reins, and drove the carriage into the woods at the foot of Hujun Mountain.

Soon, the pursuers arrived.

"They abandoned the carriage and went into the mountains! Surrounded..."

"Search the mountain again at dawn, they won't be able to escape..."

Gao Mingyue stopped looking back at those pursuers, and walked into the pine forest step by step with a Dali knife in her hand...

After dawn, the soldiers began to search the mountain until the shadow of the sun sank to the west and the sky and earth returned to silence.

Jing Jie rode his horse to the foot of Hujun Mountain, and Shen Kai went to meet him.

"Have you caught it?"

"Not yet." Shen Kai said: "But the mountain is neither big nor high, we have found some traces on the mountain, we will be able to catch them tomorrow."

Jingjie said, "Tell me the details."

"Yes."

Shen Kai started talking for a while...

Jing Jie shook his head and said: "They entered the woods, someone might drive us away in a carriage, and the rest took the opportunity to escape. Spread out some people, and rush to the various checkpoints ahead, focusing on checking for people with books."

"The one with the books?"

"Yes, they copied an intelligence report. People can disguise themselves and disperse. Such a big burden can't be hidden, so go set up a check."

"understand……"

Jing Jie pointed at the soldiers walking in the night, and said: "Send my men to search the mountains, call out all your soldiers, and investigate."

"But the brothers have been searching the mountains all day, and they are already very tired."

"Check." Jing Jie was very resolute, and said, "Li Xia is probably among our people."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed not far away, and said, "In this kind of night, an unknown colleague walking towards you may be Li Xia."

Shen Kai looked in the direction Jingjie pointed, and saw a soldier walking down the mountain, with a tall and slender figure.

"come here!"

When the soldier walked in, it was a soldier beside him, not Li Xia.

"Wrong guess again." Jing Jie sighed, "But he must be nearby, and even prepared to attack us like killing Qiao Ju, like ambushing Goro..."

~~
Gao Mingyue jumped down from the pine tree, as nimbly as a little rabbit.

She felt very thirsty and hungry, but just now she saw from the tree that someone was ambushing near the small mountain stream in the distance.

No edible fruit was found on the mountain.

Holding the knife, she thought that she might not be able to hide it for too long, and if she was found, she would have to kill herself.

The moonlight poured down from between the branches, Gao Mingyue was walking, and suddenly stopped.

She saw a large pit more than ten steps ahead.

It seemed to be a trap set up by the pursuers, and there were a few wooden thorns lying down in the hole.

However, the branches covering it were removed...

Gao Mingyue lowered her head and thought for a while, with some doubts in her eyes.

She didn't dare to walk around again, picked up a branch, and probed the ground step by step, looking for something around the trap.

Finally, more than fifty steps away, she found a trap that had also been destroyed.

Gao Mingyue suddenly turned her head to look at the dark bushes, the doubt in her eyes turned into surprise.

"Is that you? Are you there?"

No one answered.

Gao Mingyue suddenly had the courage to continue to survive.

"Is it this direction?" She compared the two traps, muttered softly, and continued walking forward.

Her eyes became more and more radiant, but her footsteps gradually became hurried.

Suddenly, the branch in my hand hit the ground and sank into it.

Gao Mingyue managed to stop, leaned back and fell to the ground.

Severe pain came, and her ankle twisted heavily, causing her tears to flow.

She touched her ankles and stood up on a branch.

At this moment, it was impossible to walk faster, Gao Mingyue dragged a sprained foot, and felt that every step she took was excruciatingly painful.

It wasn't until half an hour later that she found the third destroyed trap.

Suddenly, shouts sounded in the woods.

"Over there! Chase..."

~~
At the foot of Hujun Mountain.

Shen Kai quickly walked through the groups of soldiers, and shouted: "Everyone, carefully identify the comrades around you, if you encounter strangers, take them down immediately! Each chief counts the soldiers, and if there is no chief to claim them, take them down immediately... ..."

Jing Jie rode on the horse and walked slowly, letting the soldiers hold the torches and shine them on the faces of each soldier.

Shouts sounded from time to time, orderly.

"Report, all members of Benshi are here!"

"Report, there are still three people missing in Benshi..."

"Quickly find..."

Jing Jie believes in his own judgment, there are only those methods that spies can use, and Li Xia is gradually at the end of his skills.

If he really hid among these soldiers, the scope of his hiding had become smaller and smaller.

More than half of the search...

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes sounded in the night, and dozens of horsemen rushed to the foot of Hujun Mountain.

"Who is the person in charge here?"

Jing Jie pulled his horse forward and said: "Bozhou Military and Civilian Wanhu Mansion, Jing Jie Jing Mingyi, was ordered to search for the detailed works of Song people."

A general immediately stepped forward and said: "Hu Xiaoshou, the centurion of the Yizhou Army, his family uncle Hu Gong, taboo Jia, is the in-law of Li Dashuai, the minister of the provinces in Huainan, Shandong, and knows Yizhou."

"You're being polite, I don't know what's up with Centurion Hu?"

With a cold face, Hu Xiaoshou immediately raised his head and said: "You Bozhou army killed our people, there should be an explanation for this matter."

"The person who killed you?" Jing Jie was taken aback, and asked anxiously, "What's the specific situation?"

Hu Xiaoshou snorted coldly, pointed his horsewhip, and said to his subordinates: "You come."

"Yes. This evening, Zhuzi and I went out to do business. We met a Bozhou army commander at the foot of Xiantan Ridge. After saying hello, he stabbed Zhuzi to death with a knife and wanted to kill me. I think he has Crossbow, dare not fight recklessly, so I had to go back to the camp for help..."

"Where's the corpse?"

"The corpse? The corpse of the pillar? He sent it to the river and washed it away."

Shen Kai has already caught up and said: "I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding on this matter, the Song people we are hunting are cunning, he must be deliberately instigating."

Hu Xiaoshou was displeased, and shouted: "I don't care if there is a misunderstanding in this matter, and I don't want to conflict with you, just hand over the murderer."

Shen Kai quickly stepped forward to explain...

Jing Jie narrowed his eyes, scanning the people behind Hu Xiaoshou by the light of the fire.

In the night, it is not clear to see.

He suddenly pulled Shen Kai over and said, "Li Xia is hiding in the Yizhou Army."

"what?"

Jingjie said: "Since Li Xia knows that people who pretend to be us will be investigated, it is a better idea to pretend to be the Yizhou Army."

Shen Kai said: "But the Yizhou Army is not under our control."

"Detain them and investigate." Jingjie said: "But be careful not to cause conflicts."

"Okay, I'll find a way."

Shen Kai thought for a while, smiled and went forward to chat with Hu Xiaoshou for a while, then sealed a sum of money and dragged him to the camp to drink.

Finally, Hu Xiaoshou finally agreed to let them check dozens of Yizhou soldiers...

Rows of Yizhou troops got off their horses and stood still, allowing the Zhang family soldiers to surround them.

Jing Jie rode his horse and walked in front of him, staring carefully at everyone's faces.

He suddenly squinted his eyes and saw a very handsome Yizhou soldier standing at the very edge of the line.

Jing Jie sneered, raised his finger and shouted, "Take it!"

suddenly.

"Whoosh!"

The handsome Yizhou soldier was still in a daze when a crossbow arrow suddenly pierced his side neck.

Blood spurted out.

Everyone was surprised.

Immediately afterwards, there was a shout from among the soldiers of the Zhang family.

"Do it! Kill them all!"

"kill!"

Not far away, Hu Xiaoshou just got off his horse and wanted to go drink with Shen Kai, when he heard this, he turned his head and pulled out his saber with a "clang".

"What are you doing?!"

Shen Kai dodged the knife and hurriedly shouted: "There is a misunderstanding! Listen to my explanation..."

No one listened to Shen Kai's explanation.

The Yizhou army was inexplicably surrounded by soldiers from the Zhang family. They hadn't figured out the situation at all, and they were in panic. When they saw blood, they felt as if they would explode.

The soldiers of the Zhang family were ordered to surround the Yizhou army. When they saw the crossbow arrows killing people and heard the shouts, some people rushed out with their swords drawn.

"kill……"

Jing Jie shouted: "Li Xia! Li Xia is here... Take him down for me..."

"Stop shouting, Mingyi, stop shouting, stop! Everyone stop..."
