At dusk, the sunset in the distant mountains and the sunset is like a horse.

The tired birds return to the forest in the mountains and forests, silent.

The official road that was supposed to be quiet was raised, and Zhang Mu took the Yan brothers across Jiaodao City and slowed down when he arrived at the place where Manghu said.

Zhang Mu had already seen the secret code of the Jinyiwei in the car, and now he was very eye-opening.

It turns out that there are many types of code codes. Someone here, contact me, be careful and cautious, and all have fixed patterns. These patterns are very simple and can be remembered at a glance.

Zhang Mu couldn't ride a horse, so after getting off the car, he searched along both sides of the official road, and went to a forest. Zhang Mu finally saw the mark left by the python tiger. The mark told Zhang Mu that it was here.

Zhang Mu looked up and saw that there were dense forests on both sides of the official road ahead. If you were ambushed here, it would be an excellent place.

In the Ming Dynasty, people needed a way to go out. Because the procedures were troublesome, most of them did not like to go out. This was the official road leading to Jinhua Mansion in the county, and it was not a big problem for traffic, so there were not many pedestrians on the road on weekdays. Moreover, the waterways in the south were well connected, and taking a boat was much more convenient than walking.

If you start here, as long as you lie in a good ambush, the chance of success is high, and Zhang Mu can't help but worry about Han Fangshan.

If Zhang Chi died and Han Fangshan died, the dog official named Song would not let their Zhang family go. Therefore, no matter what, he had to find Han Fangshan, and he had to see people and corpses.

Zhang Mu turned around and saw the people brought by the Yan family. They seemed to have some skills. One of them was wearing a gray cloth and had a bumpy old man half-kneeled on the ground, looked around, and then stood up and said, "Young Master, there are signs of fighting here, and there are many people."

Zhang Mu walked over sternly and hurriedly. The old man explained: "Look at this forest, there are many arrow grooves, and they are all new. If I am ambushed here, I will definitely shoot hidden arrows on the treetops opposite." When he said this, the old man used his hand to pull up the loess on the ground.

At that moment, when a layer of floating soil was lifted up, a dark red mud appeared on the ground. The old man pinched a little and put it on the tip of his nose and said, "It's blood. It seems that someone was shot here. But their ambush was probably not very successful, so only a part of them were left to clean the battlefield, and the rest should chase in."

"Grandpa Zhou, do you know that they are heading in that direction?" asked sternly and kindly.

The old man surnamed Zhou stood up and walked into the forest. After looking for a while, he said, "It should be southwest. Don't worry, the old man has been hunting all his life, and it is no problem to chase a few living people."

"Let's go." Zhang Mu said immediately, but the carriage here could no longer come in, so he had to ride a horse with Yan Su and continue to advance towards the forest.

I walked halfway up the woods and found it less than a quarter of an hour. Sure enough, I saw that the shrubs fell down here and the ground was very messy.

Old man Zhou turned over and got off the horse, looked on the ground for a while, and walked straight to a mountain fault zone with a trench below, which should have been washed by rain.

A branch was covered in the trench. Old man Zhou lifted the branch and immediately saw seven or eight corpses. They were covered in blood and had all died.

Zhang Mu glanced at him and said, "They are all Jinyiwei. I saw them at Yuelai Inn this morning. It seems that I really encountered an ambush."

"There has been a fierce battle here, but it's very short-lived. There are many enemies, and I'm afraid they are several times more likely. Are you looking for someone inside?" asked Old Man Zhou.

Zhang Mu shook his head and guessed in his heart that Han Fangshan must have seen that the situation was wrong, so he ordered them to block the pursuers. He led his people to continue to escape, and all of them died here.

"Then let's go." Old man Zhou turned over and dismounted and continued to investigate.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the five fingers were missing in the woods, and the search speed suddenly decreased.

I don’t know how long I have been away, but suddenly Old Man Zhou turned over and got off the horse, and immediately turned around and said, “Speak quietly.”

So everyone rolled off their horses and hid behind the woods. At this time, Zhang Mu saw a fire in the distance and heard someone talking faintly.

Yan Li made a gesture at the moment, and his people took out their weapons one after another, and then touched them step by step. Zhang Mu followed them carefully, and everyone held their breath.

"Damn it, it's really a disaster. They went to the front to catch people and received rewards, leaving us to break the back here and dug a pit for a day..."

"Stop talking. The people caught in front are not idiots. The people from these two banners have been injured and three died. If you really want to go, you will die here, aren't you afraid that your new wife will hook up with men?"

There was a burst of laughter.

Zhang Mu and his friends hid in the bushes and saw four or five big men in front of them. They were eating around the bonfire. A large pit had been dug next to them, which should be used to bury the corpse.

At this time, he made several gestures, and he reached out and took the longbow from his back, pulled out a feather arrow and hit it on it. The men standing beside him also took out their bows and crossbows to aim.

"Kill!" A low cry was heard, and Zhang Mu suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air, and then he saw screams coming from the bonfire.

He put down his longbow, pulled out his sword and rushed out. Four of the five people on the other side were shot to death, with only one living. Before he could react, he saw a group of people rushing out of the woods and turned around and ran away in fear.

It’s a pity that he had one step, and swung the Yanling Knife in his hand and threw it out with great force. The Yanling Knife was nailed straight into the man’s leg, and then Zhang Mu saw the guy rolling to the ground with a thud.

Then the Yan family rushed up and controlled him.

Zhang Mu was stunned, and Liu An on the side was also stunned, only Yan Su seemed to be used to it.

"Zhang Mu, where do these people come from? This job is so beautiful." Liu An asked curiously.

"Don't worry." Zhang Mu didn't dare to say much. Judging from the arrest just now, it was obvious that he had been able to cooperate in every day, otherwise it would be impossible. More than ten people took action together, killed four and left one to live. He completed it with a few simple gestures. He thought to himself that the Yan family was probably not as simple as doing business.

Zhang Mu rushed over and squatted on the ground and asked, "How many people are there in total? Are they all there now?"

"Uncle, please spare me, we are hunters in the mountains..., Oh!" Before he could finish speaking, the old man named Zhou kicked his wound, and a scream like a pig slaughtering came.

"Don't let your mother's lord farts, if you are hunters, how did these corpses come from? If you are not honest, I will kill you with one knife." The old man named Zhou said angrily.

"You bold thieves, I am the officers and soldiers of the garrison. If you touch me again, I will kill you." At this time, the one who saw that he was not good at pretending to be soft, just made a tough one.

Zhang Mu walked over and pulled out the knife that was inserted into his leg. Without saying a word, he inserted it into his other leg and stepped on his crotch and said angrily: "Are you from that ward? You dare to kill the Jinyiwei, I think you are impatient in your whole family? You have confessed now that you are just a meritorious person. If you bite and don't say it, would you want to implicate the Nine Clans?"
