Chapter 36 Tracking
Li Lingfeng and Situ Liang, with some of their guards, stayed outside Feng Tiancheng's cottage for a whole day, but they didn't even see a person. Instead, these people hiding in the forest did not dare to make a fire, but also did not dare to do large-scale activities. They were worried that it would disturb the mountain thieves in Feng Tiancheng's village. One or two were frozen in the forest with blue noses and swollen faces, and one by one cursed in their hearts.
And God seemed to be against them. The next morning, snowflakes began to fall in the gloomy sky, and the temperature suddenly became lower. Situ Liang and Li Lingfeng were frozen with no temper, but Li Lingfeng firmly believed that this matter was done by Feng Tiancheng's subordinates. He resolutely refused. Ken gave up the surveillance of Feng Tiancheng's village, so Situ Liang and others had to follow Li Lingfeng to continue to monitor Feng Tiancheng's movements in the forest.
As the snow gets bigger and bigger, although such heavy snow indicates that next year's summer grain may have a good harvest, at least it will not be as drought as in the previous two years, but for Li Lingfeng and his party, this heavy snow is not a good time. As the snow gets bigger and bigger, Li Lingfeng's idea can't help but waver. Come on.
He began to suspect that this attack on the villagers may not have been done by Feng Tiancheng's men. From the beginning, he was misled by his own ideas and may have misunderstood Feng Tiancheng, a group of mountain thieves. The other is that even if Feng Tiancheng's people did this, it was so big. Xue, Feng Tiancheng's men are also likely to huddle in the cottage to avoid the cold and will not come out to do anything again. There is no need for them to wait like this.
So after discussing with Li Lingfeng and Situ Liang, they decided to give up here for the time being, lest they didn't catch the handle of Feng Tiancheng's man-made disaster. They themselves froed to death in the ice and snow first.
So the group simply packed up their things and wanted to go out of the forest and go to other places to continue to visit the news. However, when they set out, a scout who was monitoring Feng Tiancheng's village at the edge of the forest suddenly ran into the forest and said in a low voice to Li Lingfeng and Situ Liang: "The two generals, Feng Bai-faced village. There is a movement. No. 100 people have come out of the village. I don't know where to go!"
After listening, Li Lingfeng and Situ Liang looked at each other and saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes, so without saying a word, they immediately rushed to Lin Yuan and looked out.
Zhao Xueyao proudly took No. 100's men and walked out of the cottage in the snow. Although the weather was freezing to death at this time, these people all looked happy. This time, the work arranged by Feng Tiancheng for them was really cool. There were not only money to take, rewards in bags, and women. Playing, although there are snowflakes in the sky, it can't stop their enthusiasm for 'work' at all.
And this snow is a great cover in their eyes. After a few votes they made a few days ago, they were still a little worried about being caught by the Xing Tianjun. However, at present, looking at the ghost weather, it is windy and snowy. In response to Liu Zongyuan's poem, thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear! It's time for people to find a place to hide. Who will come out to find trouble for them?
So in Zhao Xueyao's opinion, it is the safest time to go out to act at this time, and after they finish their work, they are not easy to be followed. The heavy snow will soon hide their traces. When will they go out at this time?
So he immediately clicked his men and told Feng Tiancheng that it was really good to go out at this time, so he made them out of the stockade.
This time, their goal is no longer just a village. Zhao Xueyao plans to divide his men into three groups and take action at the same time. Come down in one night and hurry up. It is not impossible to rob six villages.
And they are all locals and are very familiar with the local situation. On the border of Yangcheng, they think about it. When they come back tomorrow, they can get a lot of money and food and take a few more beautiful women.
After these times, they took ten or twenty young women. Feng Tiancheng took two of the most beautiful girls, and gave the rest to them. In the past two days, these people have been crooked in the stockade, which made the other people in the village greedy.
But they didn't expect that in the mountains and forests outside their cottage, there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at them.
Looking at this group of people swaggering out of Feng Tiancheng's stockade and walking to the west, Li Lingfeng and Situ Liang looked at each other and nodded.
"Brothers, cheer me up, and the business is coming! Follow me and see what this group of people want to do when they go out on such a snowy day! I guess it's these bastards who can buckle the shit basin on our heads!"
Li Lingfeng and Situ Liang returned to the forest and gathered their men together. They said to them that the whole group couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes. They nodded hard and agreed one by one. They immediately went deeper in the forest to pull out their mounts, dusted the snow on the felt on the mount, and led the horses one after another. Dao walked out of the forest, avoided the sight of the sentry post in Feng Tiancheng Village, passed through a dead corner of their observation, circled around, and followed the group of people in front of his head.
The group of people in front seemed to be sure that no one would find their traces at this time, talking and laughing with each other unscrupulously, while Li Lingfeng and others could only stay behind them far away and find something to hide their bodies from time to time in order not to let the people in front of them find them.
And their horses are also chewed at this time, and the bells under their necks have been taken off for a long time, so that they can't make a sound. They stare at the group of people in front of them from so far away, but they can't hear what they are saying. In short, these bastards are very excited now and don't want to march in the snow at all. Feeling hard, which made Li Lingfeng and other people who followed them depressed, and everyone cursed in their hearts.
After walking for nearly half a day, the sky has been dark. Li Lingfeng and others have been hanging far behind this group of people, and this place has crossed Lianhua Mountain, approached Shanghe Village, and basically approached the Huze River. This is already the edge of the area that Xing Tianjun can temporarily control. The village.
And Li Lingfeng didn't expect that these people would drive so far in the snow and came to this place. Then he turned his head to look at the people and horses on his side. Everyone was almost turned into a snowman. Even a layer of white snow fell on the horse's back, which just provided them with a good cover. As long as they didn't move, they saw it from afar. Come on, you will only think that they are a pile of stones!
"Team Li! Look, this group of people came here into three groups and scattered in three directions! What should we do?" A scout walking in front of the road suddenly stopped, squatted on the ground and looked at the footprints on the road, and said to Li Lingfeng who followed.
Li Lingfeng squatted down and looked. It was true. The group in front of people at this intersection divided into three roads and walked in three directions, which made him a little nervous. 'Have they have been found by this group of people?'
But after observing the footprints on the snow, he dispelled the doubt. After the group broke up, they obviously went in the direction of the three villages separately. Each group was about 30 people, and these more than 30 people were no longer what the people in the village could deal with for these small local villages. Obviously, these people did not find that they were following behind their backs, but acted separately here. It seems that they wanted to deal with three villages at the same time.
After Li Lingfeng came here with the army, he inquired about Feng Tiancheng's behavior. Although this man was also a mountain thief, his behavior was different from Zhao Datong and Xiao butcher. He adhered to the principle that rabbits did not eat nest grass, and rarely made trouble in the local area. He only often took people out to do things and robbed money and tied meat tickets back. Come on, and the locals don't hate him. It is also for this reason that Feng Tiancheng's notoriety in the local area. Several times the government suppresses bandits, but they can't find his head.
Looking at the situation of these people today, it is obvious that it is different from Feng Tiancheng's usual behavior. In this way, Li Lingfeng is more determined that these people are the guys who give them Xing Tianjun's shit.
"Brother Situ, why don't we go in three ways? You and Liu Xiaoyi and I will go all the way together. How about following up and see what they are going to do?" Li Lingfeng squatted down and discussed with Situ Liang.
Situ Liang frowned and shook his head and said, "I don't think it's easy to separate troops now! We only have more than a dozen people. After separation, even if we find that they harm these villages, I'm afraid we can't deal with them. We can only send people back to report the news. When the general learns the news and leads the troops to come, the cucumbers will be cold! So I'm thinking that it's too late to send someone to report the news now!
In my opinion, this is a good opportunity for us. Let's not divide the troops, concentrate together, and keep up with the people all the way. If they are really bastards for us, then don't be polite. Let's do it tonight, touch them one by one, and kill them. They ran away! I don't know what Brother Li's mind?"
After listening to this, Li Lingfeng thought it was reasonable, but in order to be safe, he ordered Liu Xiaoyi, one of the scouts, to return to Lianhua Mountain alone and bring people to block several intersections in this area. The rest of them chose to follow along all the way. Once they found that these people were indeed going to be a disaster. The villagers here solved them one by one.
The scouts of the Xing Tianjun are different from ordinary soldiers. Because they often have to act alone, they pay more attention to their personal martial arts skills, so the selected scouts, after a year of repeated screening and elimination, are all quite good people, and if they are unprepared, there are more than a dozen people. Dealing with more than 30 bandits should be a matter of action, so the other side created an opportunity for them to start.
After making a plan, Liu Xiaoyi was ordered to turn over his horse and immediately ran towards Lianhua Mountain with the snowy light.
The rest of the people checked the equipment, continued to lead the horse, chose a way, and followed a group of Feng Tiancheng's men.
