Chapter 229 Huan cautious

In the brief silence, click click click... the corpse's blood flowed into a line along the long wolf-tooth-shaped blade.

Wang Ge was so weak that he was missing the weight of a corpse. He still couldn't hold on for a few breaths. The wolf fangs slapped hard and "fluttered" back to the ground.

At this time, dozens of brave men, including Huan Zhen and Wang Tian, ​​took the risk of violating the examination regulations and climbed the steep slope. The examiner appeared at the top of the slope, stared at the county military attaché who was almost halfway up, and said half jokingly, half angrily:

"Is this going to attack the city?"

The military attache immediately turned around and scolded the brave men with a wink: "Go back! I'm discussing important matters with the examiner and there's no danger. What are you going to do? Go back!"

Examiner: "Oh, don't worry, just in time, help us move the gangster's body away."

Huan Zhen, Liu Qing, and Fu Jun, who followed closely behind the military attache, were all very tall. The three of them stepped forward while the others descended the slope.

Li Mei, Li Kneeling's body was easy to carry, but Li Dao was stabbed all over and had to be pulled out, which was very laborious. Liu Qing and Fu Jun really didn't want to look directly at the bloody holes on the gangster's corpse, but they had to look straight at it. The three of them had to take advantage of this.

I had the opportunity to observe this new type of instrument carefully. No wonder the gangster at the bottom was beheaded directly. It turned out that there were four long horizontal blades on the edge of the densely packed wooden board. Each long horizontal blade was thinned from a whole piece of wood.

Huan Zhen reminded Liu and Fu to be careful not to cut their hands on the blood-stained bamboo or wooden blades. When he dragged the corpse of the bandit down the slope, he glanced up and saw that Wang Ge was no longer there.

After the three corpses were dragged into the maple forest, some people looked at the corpses and others looked at the dead leaf clothes.

Except for pottery stoves in designated areas, no fires are allowed in the mountains, and craftsman candidates cannot make utensils. They are just like wandering craftsmen, standing on the top of the slope and looking down at the excitement.

Huan Zhen nodded: Yes.

Huan Zhen and Wang Tian each danced on the branches, and the two of them seemed to be getting angry. Huan Zhen took a step back and said with half praise and half sarcasm: "You have made rapid progress. If you had this ability earlier, you would have

I won’t lose to Sima Chong.”

"Then if it encounters a fire, wouldn't it help the fire?"

Wang Tian raised his voice even louder: "That guy Sima Chong, if I hadn't seen that he had made a great contribution, I would have kicked him back to Weiyi County."

Huan Zhen uncorked the bamboo pot, poured it into his hands, and rubbed it gently to wash away the black color. "It's not that the dye has faded, it's that someone deliberately rubbed the charcoal powder into it."

Huan Zhen continued his speculation: "Assuming that these three bandits are not from Kuaiji County, just like Qi Duan and Ku Tu, then they will not carry clothes with obvious targets and difficult to hide on the road."

Youshi.

"There's nothing wrong with the fake maple leaves. There's something wrong with the base fabric." Huan Zhen touched the withered leaf clothes with force just now, and poured some water on his hand. His left hand was stained black.

Huan Zhen and Wang Tian looked at each other: Who is this person?

"Isn't this a competition? Do you really think of us as enemies attacking the city?"

Tao Youyou? Wang Ge looked at the familiar figure of Huan Langjun under the moonlight, and then looked back at Youyou Sima Chong, who was standing firmly on the top of the slope not far from her and was the only one wearing a face covering.

Huan Zhen: "Yes. The three dead leaf clothes are like this, which proves that it is not an accident." He walked to a place with few people, and Wang Tian followed closely.

Withered leaf clothes, clothes with maple leaves sewn into the fabric, were rubbed into... charcoal powder? Wang Tian asked with a questioning look, looking at Huan Zhen.

Huan Zhen stood up and left the dead leaf clothes. Wang Tian followed and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"Brother Huan means that local merchants are colluding with gangsters from other counties?"

"Hmph, the cowhide is blowing to the sky."

"The key point is not only the burning. Do you think how laborious it is to dye hemp and sew clothes that can be hidden in the maple forest without exposing flaws? How can you only make three pieces?"

Wang Tian shouted: "Sima Chong, I know you are here, if you have the courage, come down and compete?"

Xu Zheng moment.

"The cloth is fading?"

"This is called caution."

"Okay, okay, I understand Huan Chunqing, ah no, brother Huan." Combined with the gangster incidents in the past few days, as well as so many wanderings and martyrs, Wang Tian knew that he could no longer play around without prioritizing. It was not that he doubted the military attache.

, but the master craftsman is more trustworthy than the examiner over there. After all, Ku Tu and other gangsters are all over there in the master craftsman examination area.

The nearly full white moon was lifted up into the sky by the arrogant branches.

In the open space between the thorn slope and the maple forest, some brave men fought against each other with horns, and some competed with branches.

The moonlight weakened the red color of maple leaves.

Military Attaché: "Quiet! The examiner over there said that since it is a training test for soldiers, they should be able to defend when entering and fight when leaving. If you are slack in attacking the city and slack in defending the city, it will be like a craftsman who does not peel or sharpen the iron while smelting it.

The sword can't cut through the hemp rope. What's the point of teaching soldiers like this? Why do craftsmen candidates have to work hard to make weapons? If you go to the battlefield in the future, will you first ask the enemy soldiers to put away their weapons and fight with you empty-handed?"

Tao Youxiu, Sima Chong...Sima Chong, Wang Tian...Wang Tian, ​​Huan Langjun...Huan Langjun, Sima Chong...Sima Chong, Tao Youxiao! A suddenly twisted relationship line appeared in Wang Ge's mind.

End to end in the middle.

"Let us first search for clues based on this hypothesis. Then suppose that the merchants in Shanyin County and the gangsters are inseparable, so there is no need to dye the maple leaves on the clothes to make them look real. Did you notice just now that every leaf is flawless?

, obviously carefully selected. Therefore... the hypothesis of appearance and separation is not valid."

As for the person who conveyed the message to the examiner, the most trustworthy person was none other than Sima Chong.

"Why don't we inform the military attache first, and then ask the military attache to find the examiner... ah? Brother Huan, won't he even suspect the military attache?"

"I understand." Wang Tian suddenly realized: "There is another force. They have discovered the local businessmen who are colluding with the gangsters from other counties, and then they have made tricks on the black cloth. They mixed it with charcoal powder because they are worried about the dye used in the fake maple leaves.

Is it possible to slow down the fire? It must be so!"

"Ah? Then should I remind the military attaché?"

"Shut up!" With a roar, a fierce man rushed down the thorn slope, tall and broad, like a moving tree.

"Really want our lives?"

The military attache walked back to the maple forest at dusk, his brows knitted into knots. He met hundreds of pairs of eyes in the forest and said gloomily: "That city-defending weapon is called the Wolf Fang Beat. It is said to be lacking in power and needs to be improved."

The brave men looked at each other: "Not enough? Killed three people with one shot, still not enough?"

"Don't worry. Let's find Sima Chong first and ask him to remind the master craftsman of the examination."

On the mountain where the bandits were hiding, the atmosphere of impetuousness became stronger and stronger. At the foot of the northern mountain where they were hiding, hundreds of people dug a ditch all day and night. What on earth did they want to do? When the ditch was wide enough, would those people go up the mountain?

The bandits are not afraid of fighting with those hundreds of people, but in such a fight, their position will be exposed. If they cannot complete their employer's orders, they will not be able to return to Danyang County. Their false identities, food, clothing, housing and transportation will no longer be taken care of by anyone, and they will have to

Wandering and fleeing everywhere.

But when the employer gave the order, they were told to stay on the north slope of the mountain and not to run around. Moreover, the current situation meant that even if they had to move, they could not move east or west. Because the mountains to the east are all green oak trees.

Their coats of dead leaves will become a liability. As for the west, it is already occupied by a small number of people digging ditches.

Can only go south?

But the bandits have no leader, so who gives orders? Who dares to risk the wrath of his employer?

The employer recruited gangsters piecemeal, which ensured that the gangsters had their own selfish motives and would not cause everyone to betray because of one person's words. However, it also caused these gangsters to lose their only chance to escape from being burned.

After tonight, there is no way to escape!
