Chapter 57 Encirclement and suppression
The green broad-leaved trees all over the mountain rolled and jumped in front of the wind, roaring like a huge powerful bobcat, raising its back, and the tits were swept away by the wind, turning into flying black spots. On the steep shore, the slender thatched grass grew like countless spears and guns flying and swaying.
In this dense forest, there are teams of dozens of people lurking.
They were the group of gray-clothed masked men who attacked Cheng's mansion for the sake of the Thousand Years of Blood Ginseng. These men have been staying here since entering the forest. Apart from some people sent out to inquire about the news, there was no other movement.
The man in the head was a tall man. His face was nothing special, but the skin between the back of his head and neck had a strange brown-red color, and it was tightly wrinkled, like several thin rivers whimpering on the mud.
This is a trace that Guan Wei accidentally left when he was practicing. Although he looked ugly, he had a great reputation among the horse thieves in Taichong County.
At this moment, they had cleared the vicinity of this place and there was no fire-catching anything around them, so they were relieved to barbecue the prey they caught in the jungle.
However, Guan Wei's mind was obviously not on it. He chewed off a roasted golden rabbit leg, threw away the branch, and said, "The Tongtou and the others have been there for three days, why haven't they come back yet? Where have they all died?"
One of his subordinates hurriedly came up and said, "Captain Guan, the county town must be very messed up by us. It is probably not that easy to find out the matter at this time. Besides, Tongtou and others are not familiar with the land. It would be good to be able to reply to you within four or five days."
Guan Wei nodded slightly. Although his temper was irritable, he was not an unreasonable person.
He frowned slightly and said, "They will not encounter any danger."
Another hurriedly said, "Don't worry, it's not the first time Tongtou and the others have done this. Besides, with their strength, even if they are discovered, they want to escape and want to play. As long as Tongtou and the others are asking for information, don't squeeze their strength in the kiln, then it will be fine."
Everyone burst into laughter at the same time. After hearing this metaphor, they all felt itchy in their hearts and wished they could replace it.
Guan Wei also showed a knowing lewd smile on his face, but he said, "If those guys, if they missed the big things about me, I will see that I won't remove their skin."
They do have great confidence in their partners. Not to mention the government officials in Taicang County, this small place, even the officials who work in Linlang County have few cultivators with a level of internal strength and level of fifth level. And Tongtou and their strength are all five levels of internal strength, among which Tongtou is a cultivator of the seventh level of internal strength, so naturally they will not take the officials here seriously.
However, these red scarf thieves who were domineering in Taichong County did not know that Taicang County was different from their hometown. Here, the Cheng family was the official family. In order to avenge their family, everyone tried their best and did not dare to be careless. Moreover, because they knew that the strength of these people was extraordinary, the Cheng family had already prepared a reserve team, so they could capture the people sent by Guan Wei to inquire about the news.
However, when it happened in the county town, they didn't know that it was so free and easy at this time.
In the distance, a horse thief shouted loudly, his voice filled with an impatient feeling.
Guan Wei looked in that direction, and the smarter person around him immediately ran over. After a moment, the man returned and said, "Captain, the two five-person teams responsible for hunting today have not returned yet, so Brother Ma is angry there."
Guan Wei suddenly looked up, his eyes became extremely sharp in an instant, and he asked in a deep voice: "No one of the two teams came back?"
"Yes." The man was startled and said quickly.
Guan Wei's face became more and more gloomy. After all, he was a master of the nine-level internal energy, and he was also a thief leader who had experienced many life and deaths. At this moment, he finally felt something was wrong.
He looked up and looked around. The gloomy forest seemed to bring him a dangerous aura.
"Send the order, clean up, we'll leave right away."
Everyone around him was puzzled. At this moment, a loud laugh sounded in the dense forest.
"Let's go? Where else do you want to go?"
The sound did not sound in one place, but seemed to be floating constantly in the dense forest, as if a person was running around and talking at the fastest speed.
The next moment, the sound of drawing the sword suddenly sounded among the horse thieves. Although the horse thieves were extremely afraid of this unpredictable and profound voice, no one was panicked.
The stable mentality of horse thieves trained between life and death is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Guan Wei's eyes rolled, and he was secretly shocked. He snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and swung it. A cold light had already shot out from his hand like lightning and flew towards a big tree.
"Bang..."
A small flew and fell down, as if it hit some kind of steel, making a crisp sound.
Guan Wei said coldly: "He is a master who is pretending to be a god here. Are you not afraid of losing face if you admire Guigui?"
"Of course I'm not afraid." The man did not stand up, but was still hiding behind the big tree, saying, "If you want to talk about Guigui, who is more respectful than masked robbery at night."
Guan Wei's face changed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Cheng Family?"
After saying these two words, his ears trembled a few times and said suddenly: "No, someone is coming here, everyone, go quickly."
Dozens of people immediately picked up their weapons and ran towards the prepared road. In this case, no one went to get the debris on the ground, which shows that it was not the first time these people have done such things.
Two figures suddenly appeared from behind the big tree, one was naturally Cheng Jiahui, and the other was He Quanxin.
After they appeared, they immediately rushed towards Guan Wei.
Guan Wei sneered, and a big knife moved his hand, and a big knife suddenly appeared in his hand. Although this big knife was far less exaggerated than He Wude's long-handled big knife, it was at least several inches thick and nearly one meter long. With this knife, the sharp sound of breaking the wind came over like a mountain collapse and a tsunami.
Cheng Jiahui's figure suddenly stopped, but He Quanxin shook his hands the same way, and a two-meter-long red tassel spear wrapped around like a poisonous snake coming out of the hole.
These two masters have the ninth level of internal strength. Although He Quanxin's strength is a little smarter, Guan Wei is a horse thief and has an extremely crazy aura when he takes action. He just fought, and it was like he had a grudge against He Quanxin to kill his father and his wife. He fought desperately and took the soul.
Under this almost rogue style of playing, even He Quanxin was still reluctant and was at a disadvantage in a moment.
Cheng Jiahui did not step forward, but staggered the battle group and wanted to chase those ordinary horse thieves. However, the other horse thief turned around and entangled. His strength was only at the seventh level of cultivation, but when he waved the big sword in his hand, it was similar to Guan Wei. He fought desperately, like a shrew, so that Cheng Jiahui, who was arrogant and expensive, did not dare to get involved at all.
After the four of them fought for a long time, countless footsteps came from the direction where they appeared, and the Cheng family's reinforcements finally arrived.
At this moment, Guan Wei and another horse thief laughed at the same time, and the sword slowed down, and they had already retreated and chased their companions.
These two people have been actively attacking, so they can evacuate at any time without any restraint.
However, they did not notice that although He Quanxin and Cheng Jiahui shouted, they did not really sacrifice their lives to intercept them. They just looked at their backs with a sarcasm.
Then, the two of them rushed up slowly.
Guan Wei and the others quickly left. After a while, they suddenly heard a sharp scream in front of them. And you can tell that many of them were made by brothers who were with them.
The two of them were very anxious and rushed forward. When they arrived ahead, their eyes were so angry that they couldn't help but burst.
The more than forty people who were leading the way had already lie down halfway down on the edge of the dense forest. Among the lying down, several crossbow arrows were inserted into the bodies of these people.
It is clear that someone has been hiding here for a long time, waiting for them to take the bait.
After a change of thought, Guan Wei immediately understood who had leaked the matter of leaving a way out: "The copper head is in your hands."
An old man with white hair and beard came out peacefully from the trees in front of him. This old man was Cheng Ningsheng, the owner of the Cheng family.
The old man looked at Guan Wei, and his eyes revealed a strong murderous intent without any concealment, and said, "Yes, although the bones of that copper head are very hard, my hands are even harder. When I crushed all the bones on his body, he knew everything and said everything."
Cheng Ningsheng's words were plain, as if he was reminiscing with an old friend, but when he touched the old man's gaze, Guan Wei's heart was faintly cold.
A hint of regret suddenly appeared in his heart. Could it be that he underestimated the aristocratic family here too much?
Cheng Ningsheng stretched out his hands, and in his hand, there was a crutch made of steel, and said loudly: "Mr. Guan, I didn't have the pleasure of the last battle. Now let's compare again."
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of people rushed out from behind him. As soon as he saw these people's actions, Guan Wei's heart sank.
Among these people, there are many masters who have reached the seventh and eighth levels of internal strength.
It can be seen that in order to seek revenge on them, the entire Cheng family has already made a fortune!
