Chapter 2508 Burning Building (21)

It was getting late, and it was nearly You, when a rush of horseshoes came from the official road. Eleven knights clung to their horses and galloped past like a gust of wind. The dense trees and mottled rocks beside the road suddenly disappeared. But, back quickly backwards.Wei Mingchen estimated the mileage in his heart, and slowly tightened the reins. As he raised his arms high and made a downward gesture, the speed of the cavalry team gradually slowed down. Wei Mingchen and his group carefully observed the river near the official road, looking for With the ship carrying Li Jian's uncle and nephew, Yun Ting gave him a very simple order, no matter who they are, kill them and cut off all Xue Tu's thoughts.

After walking a short distance, Wei Mingchen saw a small boat with secret marks drawn on it—this is the small boat used to pick up and drop off the participants.Wei Mingchen reined in the horse's head not far from the boat, leaned his leg, jumped off the horse lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Get off the horse, be careful, and put your tricks on the line."

Ten knights got off their horses one after another, and drew out Qi's or Japanese swords from their ribs, and several others took out some hand crossbows from their girdles. Six of them quickly formed a circular formation for external defense, and the other four were divided into two groups. Occupy both sides of the road.Wei Mingchen approached the boat cautiously. The boatman had already collapsed on the river beach, half of his body was soaked in the water.

Wei Mingchen first went to the boatman's body and checked it. All the wounds came from the back, which meant that this was a ruthless pursuit. The fatal wound came from the concentrated puncture in the kidney, and there was a puncture wound on the side of the neck. The wound was very serious. Big, it was caused by violent shaking to expand the wound after the short knife pierced it. This should be a supplementary knife after stabbing the kidney.

There was another boatman lying on the beach.These two are Xue Tu's subordinates, and they have been bribed by him long ago.When they came out, they didn't row to the reserved place, but ran aground in this desolate place, so that they could gallop to catch up.

Although this place is next to the official road, there are very few people coming and going.Even a few passers-by can be easily silenced.

Wei Mingchen took a breath of cool air, turned his gaze to the boat, put his sword in front of him, and slowly moved towards the carriage full of vigilance. As soon as he got close to the canopy, he smelled a pungent smell of blood. There was a soft ticking sound under the canopy, and the blood seeping from the gap in the bottom of the boat dripped slowly and rhythmically, which made Wei Mingchen feel a little uncomfortable. He opened the curtain of the canopy.

Inside the boat lay the body of a big man in black. His empty eyes were wide open, as if he was staring at Wei Mingchen.This made Wei Mingchen's heart skip a beat. He calmed down and carefully checked the situation inside the boat.

Blood, blood everywhere, there were multiple puncture wounds in the jugular vein below the Adam's apple, a cut on the femoral artery in the leg, and a scratch on the left side of the neck. The knife cut open the carotid artery and caused massive bleeding. It was splashed everywhere like spring water, every knife was a fatal wound, which made the big man go to death in a few seconds, the viscous blood was not completely dry, and it was slowly wriggling downwards under the guidance of gravity , disgusting.Wei Mingchen looked around the carriage. There were two knife marks engraved on the wall and frame of the carriage. The opening was very fresh, which should have been left during the fight.

This Li Jian was indeed a Lianjiazi. In such a narrow space, fighting alone, he killed three people in an instant.Although the two boatmen can't say much about kung fu, they are also brave and ruthless people, and they are not so easy to deal with.

Wei Mingchen moved his gaze to the outside of the boat, and looked carefully at the side. There were no footprints around, but there was a layer of sand on the ground that was too uniform in color. He leaned down and carefully identified the blood spots. The well-proportioned floating ash was caused by Li Jian's scribbled cleaning with branches when he retreated. The blood spots meant that at least one of them was injured. Wei Mingchen walked along the traces. On the east side of the road, Li Jian and the others did not continue along the official road, but chose to enter the reeds beside the road. They might choose to hide and wait for the pursuers to evacuate on their own, or they might be waiting for follow-up support.

He looked around and found a few broken branches, the wounds were very new, and the weeds in the ground showed obvious signs of being trampled on. Walking forward, he found a few footprints in a relatively flat muddy ground. Wei Mingchen After a rough estimate, judging from the density and spacing of the footprints, there were only two people, which meant that no one responded. One of the footprints was deeper and there were traces of dragging on the ground, which showed that one of them was carrying a heavy load, which was caused by dragging the wounded.

Wei Mingchen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as people act in nature, they will inevitably leave traces. With a wounded person, they can't go far.

As soon as he beckoned, ten people around him immediately surrounded him. Wei Mingchen said coldly: "Leave a horse stake, and the others will follow me. If you are in danger, use the bamboo tip to communicate. Don't use the bamboo tip if it is not about a crisis. It will reveal what we are all about." The direction of the place." Everyone nodded, and a few shadows flashed and disappeared among the dense forests on the hillside.

Xu Tong squatted on the ground panting violently. He needed to regain his strength. Li Baiqing sat not far from him, looking very weak. The clothes that bandaged the wound were stained red.The moment the boat ran aground suddenly, Xu Tong knew that he would not get away easily today. He tore open the seam at the neckline, and there was a short fine steel fist hidden there.He expected that the other party would attack, but to his surprise, the other party would take the lead in the attack when they did not have an advantage in numbers. The man escorting the boat might want to deal with one opponent first, and then join hands with the boatman to kill the remaining one. Li Bai The tilted seat was at the mouth of the canopy and bore the brunt of the first stabbing. Then Xu Tong blocked the big man's right hand holding the knife with his left hand, stretched the opponent's left hand with the elbow of his right arm, and then stabbed the big man's neck with his fist. Veins, short fists cannot be used for chopping, but can only be used for stabbing and paddling, but they are more dexterous than the big man's dagger in the narrow canopy where the arms and elbows can almost be bent, and only a few centimeters of space are needed. After repeated stabbing, the massive bleeding from the jugular vein and carotid artery instantly made the big man lose the strength to resist, and the fatal blow ended in an instant, leaving only a mess.

Li Baiqing's injury was not serious, Xu Tong pressed the hemostasis point on his abdomen, and performed a simple bandage for him. The two avoided the official way and quickly hid in the reeds.Xu Tong checked Li Baiqing's injury again, the tear was not serious, and the injury didn't seem to be getting worse, but when he walked fast, his abdominal wound would open and his walking speed would be greatly slowed down. problem.Xu Tong took off his coat, tore it open with a short knife, took out the [-]-to-[-] map, compass, and soft ruler in the interlayer, compared his records on the way when he came, and estimated his position and direction, but obviously His mental arithmetic ability is not very good, and after a short calculation, he only figured out the right direction.Xu Tong felt a little annoyed and frustrated, but he didn't have much time to waste. He didn't know if there would be follow-up pursuers, but he had to consider the worst possibility. He unplugged the water bottle, took a sip and handed it to Li Baiqing. , After Li Baiqing finished drinking, Xu Tong took a short knife and cut open the bottom of the water bag, but no water flowed out. The inside of this special water bag is composed of two independent storage spaces, one for water storage and one for storage. sundries.

Xu Tong took out three small bamboo tubes from the storage pouch, the two smaller ones were larger than the whole package of ammunition, and the big one was only as thick as the thumb and index finger wrapped around. Xu Tong put the three bamboo tubes in his arms and stood up , glanced at Li Baiqing, and asked: "It's okay?" Li Baiqing forced a smile, and said: "It's okay." Xu Tong nodded and said, "You go first." Li Baiqing glanced at him , without speaking, stood up leaning on a branch, and walked forward slowly.

It is difficult to leave quickly with a lottery number. Whether it is for work, morality or other reasons, he cannot abandon Li Baiqing.He was not an elite stealth fighter trained by the Senate, ready to lay down his life for a mission.He is not only a person, but also represents the entire Old Liwei and Xialiu Village.

Once he dies during the mission, the influence of the Senate in the entire Xialiu Village will be hit.This is very unfavorable to the current situation.

But it is difficult to hide his tracks with him, and if there are pursuers, they will definitely follow him.He needs to confirm the presence of pursuers.Xu Tong stood up and looked for a suitable place. He deliberately stepped on a few vines and weeds, leaving some traces of walking, and then dug a shallow hole with a short knife on the wild road that only one person can pass, and placed a small bamboo tube vertically. After burying it in, most of the bamboo tube was buried in the soil, with only a small portion exposed outside, and then covered it lightly with floating soil and a few fallen leaves. He looked around and saw that there was no flaw, so he stood up in satisfaction.It was time to leave. Xu Tong looked up at the sky and thought to himself, he must spend the night in the wild today.

Wei Mingchen walked quickly, two people in front of him were exploring the way, and seven people behind him followed closely one by one, like a long centipede, Wei Mingchen felt that he was getting closer and closer to his prey, and his bloodthirsty desire made him He was a little excited.

The swordsman in the lead kept dialing and chopping the surrounding weeds with the blade, all his attention was focused on the front, and suddenly, he felt his foot being clicked, as if he had stepped on a small stone.The bamboo tube that was stepped on by the swordsman sank, and the enhanced black powder bullet loaded in the bamboo tube was pressed down with the weight of the swordsman, and the brass spacer used to separate the propellant from the cap continued to press on the lower layer Press the fire cap on the boss at the bottom of the bamboo tube suddenly.In order to ensure the firing rate of such small booby traps, the flash caps used are more sensitive than gun flash caps, and are kept separately at ordinary times, and the bottom of the barrel is unscrewed to load the flash caps when in use.
