Chapter 873

Xiang qingniu's face was always a little ugly. Since Fang Xie speculated that it was the Buddha sect who began to preach in the southwest of the great Sui Dynasty, the kind of killing intention in his eyes made people cold. Such a fat man who is amiable at 90% of the time makes people look at him and feel nervous.

Fang Xie knew that Xiang qingniu had a knot in his heart.

The man whose pseudonym is Xiang Qingzheng stays in the knot in Xiang qingniu's heart.

More than ten years ago, Xiang Qingzheng left Chang'an to travel westward. When he returned, he was already a skeleton. Even so, he still fought to death the big wheel Ming king who was at a dead end. Xiang qingniu finally didn't see the last side of Xiang Qingzheng. What kind of sadness would it be for a person who is willing to follow his surname with his second senior brother?

"Fang Xie"

Xiang qingniu didn't call Xiao Fang this time, and there was no cute and cunning smile on his face.

"Later..."

He caught up with Fang Xie and said very seriously, "if it's really a Buddhist, I'll do it."

Fang Xie nodded and said nothing more.

The roads outside Chen Village, large and small, have been blocked by the black flag army. The main general was assassinated, and 60000 black flag soldiers are holding a fire in their hearts. After the people of Xiaoqi school found out that the assassins might be hiding in Chen Village, the soldiers of the black flag Army wanted to rush in immediately and turn them out to pieces.

When Fang Xie arrived outside Chen Village, half of the people in the village spontaneously escaped. The people of Xiaoqi school were asking whether they had seen people like disciples of Buddhism. The news from the inquiry made people feel cold. Even a small half of the people in this small village were called into the sect.

Recently, the main goal of Xiaoqi school is in Yunnan Road, Jiangnan and Dongjiang. It doesn't pay close attention to the things under the eyelids at home. Who knows that those cult people are so brave that they already have a large number of believers in Huangyang road. Just because he didn't usually preach in a very hidden way, and the people had nothing to do all winter, the local government couldn't stare so carefully. No one thought that the spread of cults was so fast.

The people have a slack season in winter. The young men either train at the reclamation site or work at the Zhuque mountain camp. Now there are many construction projects in the camp, which requires a lot of labor. These people work in winter to earn some money and support their families. Besides, the black flag army takes great care of the people. Even if they don't give money and just eat, the men are willing to contribute to the camp.

Most of the remaining people in the village are old and weak women and children, and these people happen to be the first choice for the spread of cults. Especially those peasant women, who had no knowledge, were cheated by those cult people who said something that seemed very reasonable.

"Are you Murakami?"

Liao Sheng glanced at the old man standing in front of the crowd, walked over and asked coldly.

"General Hui, I'm the village head of Chen village. My name is Chen Handian."

The old man answered quickly.

Liao Sheng looked at the old man, thought about it and asked, "how many people are there in your village?"

"General Hui, a total of 622 people, men, women, young and old. There are 31 people working at the field point in the west of Zhuque mountain, and 103 people working at the Daying water stronghold in Zhuque mountain. There would have been more. Many people come back after the spring is warm."

"There are only more than half of the people outside the village now?"

Liao Sheng glanced at the number of people and asked.

Chen Handian subconsciously took a look, and then replied timidly, "general Hui, I just counted, and 270 people didn't come out of the village."

Liao Sheng asked again, "why did you come out and the rest didn't come out?"

Chen Handian replied, "after the army surrounded the village, no officials came into the village. I saw something was wrong, so I knocked the gong and asked the people to gather outside the village. Most of those who didn't come out... Most of them didn't hear?"

"Didn't you hear me?"

Liao shengleng snorted: "Chen Handian, now I don't want you to hide anything. What should have happened to you? General Xia Hou, who was on duty in Xinyang, was assassinated, and four generals in the army were killed. This is too big. It has alerted the Lord, and now the Lord has arrived. Think about what the Lord has done to you. If you think you can live up to your conscience, you will continue to lie. Without you, I'll lie It can also be found out! "

"The country... The Duke of the country is here!"

Chen Handian was obviously startled and his eyes began to float out. When he saw a young man in black with a huge and majestic white lion beside him, he trembled uncontrollably.

"There are really some outsiders in the village."

Chen Handian stammered: "At the beginning of winter, an outsider who claimed to be from the place where the gods lived in the North came to the village to ask for water and drink with the people in the village. Then he didn't leave. He told the villagers some stories about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds at the entrance of the village that day. At that time, the village was busy farming, so everyone ran to listen. As a result, they all felt that what the man said was reasonable. Gradually, some people were obsessed with it. At the beginning I also think something is wrong, but the man didn't encourage the people to do anything. Instead, he said some Taoist principles of kindness, so I didn't take care of it... "

"How many such people are there in the village!"

Liao asked angrily.

"There are... More than a dozen."

Chen Handian suddenly fell to his knees: "I really don't know that those people dare to assassinate general Xia Hou. These people outside have heard the story of the famous generals of the black flag army. If we know that the thieves are so crazy, we dare not accept them even if they are killed. A few days ago, they went to the village and said they would take a rest and leave soon. No one can guess that they committed such a crime Earth shaking cases... Most of the people who haven't come out of the village are detained by them. "

"Where is it?"

Liao Sheng asked.

"At the back of the village is butcher Liu's house. His place is large. His mother-in-law believes in those missionaries and treats them like gods, so she took them in at home."

Liao Sheng squatted down, folded a wooden stick and handed it to Chen Handian: "Draw the terrain and houses in the village as carefully as possible. You are the head of the village. What are the names of 100 families in the village, where they live, how are their houses, and how many trees there are in the yard? The more detailed you can remember, the better. Especially in butcher Liu's house, it's best not to make any mistakes!"

In fact, Chen Handian had already been frightened. He dared not delay now. He drew the map of the village according to his memory and revised it from time to time.

……

……

Fang Xie went to Liao Sheng and stopped. Liao Sheng pointed to the map just drawn by Chen Handian and said: "My Lord, this is butcher Liu's house. It's a big place. At first, more than a dozen cult people lived in his house. But now more than 200 people haven't come out. It's obvious that they have been detained by these cult people. So my subordinates speculate that there are cult people guarding here, here, here and these places."

Liao Sheng pointed out several important positions in the village: "these cult people have been in Chen Village for several days and haven't left. Now they detain the people. It's obviously premeditated. They just wait for our people to come, but they can't speculate what their purpose is."

"Hold the people..."

Fang Xie pondered for a while. After looking at the terrain of the village, he ordered: "let all the soldiers retreat. Replace the people of Xiaoqi school and Jingbu camp around the village, take these people five miles away, send someone to watch, and no one is allowed to leave."

"Here"

Liao Sheng promised and turned around to order someone to do it.

"Fat man"

Fang Xie looked back at Xiang qingniu and said, "let the two predecessors of Yiqi watch guard the East and north of the village respectively. You enter the village from the West and I enter the village from the south."

"I'm going too."

As always, the foam congealed fat I followed took a few steps forward and trimmed the hair disordered by the wind in front of my forehead: "if it's really a Buddhist, I'll go to the village. I haven't fought with a Buddhist in the western regions, and I don't want to miss it."

Not far away, Mu Xiaoyao, sitting cross legged on the ground, opened his eyes, looked at Fang and explained: "There are no practitioners in the front of the village, and there are eight above the seven grades, two of the eight grades, one of the nine grades, and one more... My perception is not reliable. The man's cultivation is obviously very strong. After discovering that I perceived the situation in the village, I immediately sealed an area with cultivation. I can't get in, so I don't know whether there are other practitioners."

"Sealed?"

Fang Xie frowned slightly, turned back and told Chen Xiaoru, "don't carry out the previous military orders. Everyone, including Jingbu camp and Xiaoqi school, retreated a mile away from the village. The two elders of Yiqi Temple joined hands to guard the East, foam and grease to guard the north, I'll come to the South and give it to the Taoist priest in the West."

"Let me go in, too. I'm closer and can feel it more clearly."

Mu Xiaoyao said.

Fang Xie shook his head: "no, you and qingfan stay outside. If something happens there, you two will rush for help."

Shen qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao nodded and didn't argue any more.

"I don't think it's easy..."

Xiang qingniu suddenly said, "practitioners are arrogant. Since they deliberately lead us here, they have nothing to fear. Why do they want to hijack the people? Only the bottom three in the Jianghu can use such means, which is no different from Naughty hooligans. If they deduct a Hundred Surnames, will they have any other plot?"

Xiang qingniu said, "if they threaten the people, we can't do it."

"270 people..."

Fang Jie murmured that it was the number of people kidnapped in the village.

There was something in his eyes that made people feel cold, and he couldn't describe it clearly.

"Entering the village"

Fang Xie said two words and then strode to the village.

Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the village, a soft, light but absolutely clear voice floated out of the village and clearly spread to everyone outside the village.

"It's really fast... Taoist Zun Xiang qingniu, the black flag army Fang Jie, you two can enter the village, and no one else is allowed to enter. I have 270 innocent people in my hand. If you enter the village one more person, I'll kill ten people. For people of your position, the life and death of the people may not be important. But you are all people with a good reputation. Since you are like this Here, then fulfill your own false name. "

Fang Xie and Xiang qingniu looked at each other, and then said to the two old Taoists: "stay outside, we two go in."

The two men walked into the village side by side, and everyone was a little nervous.

No one knows what those cult people in the village want to do. They made such a big case, perhaps just to lure Fang Xie and Xiang qingniu. But... Why are they two?

"I know who it is."

After listening to the man, Xiang qingniu's face changed, shook his head and said, "he really deliberately led us here. It must be the two of us."

Fang Xie nodded: "miss it then, don't miss it again this time."
