Chapter 40 Tracing the Origin of Official Bandit Collusion

After everyone is full of food, wait for the night to make a decision. However, the night saw that Qingyue's face was different, so he told a fake and led it to one side.

"Little brother, the ancients said, 'If you have nothing to do, you will be a thief." Qingyue held the cuffs of the night and whispered, "The origin of this Qingping scholar is unknown. I'm afraid we should beware of each other when we act together. If the motivation is bad, or if you do it carefully elsewhere, I'm afraid it's rare to get good results.

When the night heard the words, he nod and answered in a low voice, "Senior sister, don't worry, I have my own moderation. When we first arrived here, the situation was unknown. The younger brother has another calculation in his mind. If this scholar is used well, he can help. With his experience, he can explore the nearby forces.

Qingyue's doubts have not gone, and he is still told to pay more attention. The night accepted, and then joined hands with the Qingyue to return the crowd. First, he gave a general introduction to the situation in the cave, naturally hiding some details, and then ordered Hawke and Jietian to prepare to explore the cave. At the end, Qingping scholar was mentioned: "Brother Qingping, can I bother you?"

"Let's talk about it." Fan Qingping answered.

The night said solemnly, "You and I know each other and are quite close. The night is presumptuous. How about Qingping's force?

"Night Young Man, although Xiaosheng is weak. But I have also learned some martial arts to defend myself since I was a child, and three or five thieves are not a problem. I used to use a narrow sword, which was flattered by friends in the world, jokingly called 'the scholar sword'. Fan Qingping raised his own nickname, and his eyebrows were quite proud.

"So good, very good. I have something to ask of. I hope Brother Qingping will be righteous. The night asked for help.

Qingping did not hesitate, and opened her mouth to answer: "The young man in the night doesn't have to look outside. As much as she can, Qingping will not refuse."

"Thank you for the night. She was plotted by a thief in the hotel. Sister Wu Qingyue was unfortunately poisoned and has not yet recovered. What's more, there were arrow sores before, and I needed to rest. The night led Qingyue and Fang Xiaoxin to the front to introduce the identity of the two. The two of them knew the intention of the night, and they have been known for the fame of Qingping for a long time. Qingping smiled and was modest.

The night did not procrastinate and said directly, "Brother Qingping, it may not be easy to go into the hole to explore the thief. First of all, the two of them are weak, which may be a burden. Second, you can heal and rest here, and you can also prevent thieves from being together. Wang Qingping's brother Gaoyi can protect the two of them.

The scholar pulled out a three-foot green edge, pointed to the body of the sword, and solemnly answered, "I am valued by the young warrior of the night. I swear by the sword to keep the two of them safe." Seeing that Qingping agreed in the dark night, she quickly said, "It's so good, so good."

Everything was arranged properly, and the night secretly told the vegetable rice to look up from the sky, and then he went into the cave to explore.

Hawke is in front, the night is at the end, and the sky is in the middle of exploration. The entrance is quite large, and Hawke also needs a cat's waist to pass. The bluestone steps are tilted down and 20 feet deep, showing a change. The channel turns vertically to the left, rises again by five feet, and then turns to the right.

The sky can be night vision, and the night will step on the torch and sneak in the dark. After seven turns and eight turns, I find a hall. The night did not dare to move lightly, waiting for Jietian to explore.

"Pick the shield, Hawk." Jietian reminds. Hearing this, Hawk quickly unloaded his shield and stood in front of him. The night hid behind the shield, and then asked, "Jietian, but did you find the organ?"

"It can be dismantled. I'll try it," Jietian was no longer nervous and said slowly. "There is no one here. You can start lighting first."

The torch has been lost, and the energy stone is brighter. Hawke put the huge sword on the ground and took out the skin from his arms. After untied the mouth of the bag, there was a faint yellow light overflowing. The night will cross the earth energy crystal and hold it high.

On the opposite side is a stone wall with dense peak holes and a hole on the left and right. The ground is flat in the middle, and it is full of green bricks two feet square. Jietian came out lightly and made a little tentative. After a long time, he said dejectedly, "This place is full of masonry and stone trampling mechanisms. If you take a wrong step, you will be shot by the peak hole. The trace is light and dangerous. It's really difficult for us to pass.

Hawke was still impatient. He put his shield hard and said angrily, "This stupid monkey is also timid. You start the mechanism, and I'll resist it." When the night heard this, he was panicked and quickly stopped him: "Hock, don't be impulsive. The enemy is dark and I am open, and it is inconvenient to be reckless. Moreover, the machine is dense and the power is unpredictable. It's not difficult for me to observe carefully and avoid the trap.

Jietian looked surprised when he heard the words. He took the initiative to take over the energy crystal and asked, "Isn't it because his brother's super perception has recovered?"

"If it is slightly better, it can be three feet away from the body. If it is attached to the instrument, you can have a try." After saying that, he attracted the monkeys and explored again. After a while, the Monkey King returned with the monkeys. After communicating with the Monkey King, the night analyzed: "The right side is feasible, and the left side is a deep well. I'm afraid it's not good."

The long gun was poked out, and the ground trap was clear.

"Advance three grids and wait for me to explore again." Everyone did not dare to be careless. They were behind the shield and moved forward carefully.

"Right five... first two... left three... first four..." The night continued to command.

After the half-pillar incense, the group avoided the mechanism and went into the right hole. The night signaled the monkeys to explore again, and the traces of the thief have been found.

"There is a hall in front of you. It must be a fight. Can you prepare for it?" The night reminded.

Jietian nodded when he heard the words and took off the strong bow.

Hawke collected the spiritual stone, restrained his steps, and carefully touched it forward. After a long time, there was a quarrel in the distance:

"Shopkeeper Mei, you didn't catch your fat sheep, but you lost a lot of soldiers. When I go back, how can I explain to the viscount?

"Zhao Dutong, you and I have cooperated for many years, how can we not bear the risk like this? Now that the strong man has found the manor, the troubles are endless. Why don't you care about the present?

The night really heard it, and I hated it in my heart. The source of this disaster turned out to be the collusion of officials and bandits. Just as he was about to take action, he didn't expect another sharp male voice: "You two, stay and listen to me. There is a reason for the omission in this calculation. The group of passengers were abnormally in shape and carried fierce beasts. They should be from the south. I heard that it carries strange stones, which is of great value. If you don't gather strong soldiers again and encircle and suppress them, if you divide a little viscount, it will be revealed at this time.

"Great kindness!"

The two of them spoke in unison and heard the shopkeeper of Mei say, "Master Wang, Mei made a mistake this time, and the inn is not guaranteed. If the viscount is inquirable, I hope to prevaricate one or two, and benevolence will be rewarded.

"It's a small matter, Brother Mei, you don't need to worry." Master Wang answered in a loud voice.

Then came Zhao Dutong's voice: "It's not too late. Zhao will go first. See you later."

The night and others were anxious when they heard the words. The night secretly think that if they get rid of this Zhao Dutong, the disaster will not be small. I hate that the way ahead is not clear, and it is difficult to take it lightly. I have to curse in my heart and order the food outside to pay attention to other exits.

Jie Tian is anxious and goes first. The night and Hawk followed closely.

The front was bright, and Jie Tian An couldn't help but shoot an arrow first. He hated the king very much in his heart, and his action was fatal. Hearing a howling in front of him, he stopped.

Waiting for the order of the night, Hawke took a step forward and rushed into the cave hall. Unexpectedly, the trap was triggered and the ground collapsed.

"Catch," the night was in a hurry, and the purple cloud gun was out of hand.

Hawke abandoned his sword. He grabbed the long gun with his right hand, pulled it violently, and hung his body. The gun body is stuck on the floor tiles, such as a strong bow collapses and immediately rebounds. Hawke didn't wait for his body to fall to the ground, but he rolled over and held up the shield.

"DangDang"

I don't know how many dark arrows hit the shield, and the response was timely.

Jietian shook a virtual shadow, flashed to the exit of the cave hall, and reminded, "Three o'clock, two meters, with a knife in hand."

The night was in the air, and his body suddenly faltered. He held the crossbow in his right hand and shot an arrow.

"Ah... Ouch... spare my life..."

Hawke saw the figure of the Mei shopkeeper clearly, patted the thick shield, and extinguished the sound.

"Jietian, don't force it." The night stared at the instructions and let him chase Zhao Dutong. He calmed his breath and ordered Hawke to search around. After tying up the Mei shopkeeper, the two went to the wall to take the torch and searched around. There are not many things in the hall. There is some food, dozens of blades, armor, and some bits and pieces.

"Huh? What is this?" Hawke suddenly made a sound, and the night followed the sound to check. I saw a bronze square thing lying in the corner of the wall, half falling into the ground. It's about the size of a basin and shiny. Hawke lost the torch, held it with both hands, and shook it left and right, but it was difficult to move at all.

The night found a long gun and hollowed out the surrounding mud and stone. Hawke grabbed it firmly, his arm blue veins burst out, and his face turned red. Then he moved the thing. It is estimated that this weight should be more than 2,000 catties.

A strange thing, it must be a strange thing!

Hawke moved things to the center of the cave hall, and the energy crystals came at night. The upper end of the square thing is slightly smaller, with a perforation. Three-sided engraving [Zheshan seal], with a picture on one side, which is clearly a seal. I was about to check the bottom, but I was interrupted by the meal call.

The idea of "the boss's master" came from the rice, "But have you caught it?" Ask in the dark night.

"Exact, I gave him the back of his head." The little golden dragon answered.

"Look, I'll be there later," said the night, and he didn't care about the [earthquake seal], and greeted Hawk and took a step ahead. Hawke picked up the unconscious shopkeeper Mei and went out of the hole together. The exit is a small forest, which is very hidden.

Jietian has arrived one step ahead and has tied all of them to the tree. Seeing the night coming, he said, "Brother, this guy is a scourge. You can't keep him." The dagger in his hand exerted a little force and opened a small mouth at Zhao Dutong's throat.

"It's a little measured," the night reminded, and immediately walked to the tree and looked at it. They are all slightly taller than themselves, and they are strong. Square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but it's a pity for the eagle's hook nose.

"Wake him up," the night ordered.

Hawke lost Mei's shopkeeper, took out a bottle of potion from his trouser pocket, pried open Zhao Dutong's mouth, and poured it in. When the night saw that they all woke up, they asked, "Who are you? Why do you count me waiting?"

There was no sound, and there was a mouthful of bloody saliva on the side.

Some backbone! The night was not angry. He stared at them for a while, and then said, "Eating official food should protect the safety of one side of the people. Why do you act like this?"

Zhao Dutong was still silent. Jietian was a little annoyed. He waved the dagger and pressed it tightly next to his neck. They all stared at each other, and their expressions remained unchanged.

"It's a man," the night praised, indicating that Jie Tian did not have to threaten, but he had other thoughts in his heart. If you can subdue this, you should be able to get help, but I'm afraid it's not easy.
