    Chapter 66: The lingering ghost

    The cold wind blew, and the branches that had already lost their leaves kept swaying and whining, as if the heroic souls buried here were unwilling to do so.

    "Lao Ma, I will help you kill her, I hope you don't blame me"

    The tombstone located in the corner does not say a word, but is quietly stuck in the soil, as if the person in the tomb is silent.

    Liu Hongying sighed heavily, raised her head and drank a few mouthfuls of wine, then poured all the wine in the gourd in her hand in front of Ma Xiaofeng's short tombstone.

    "Just wait, wait until I help you get rid of Pan Qing, then choose a good place for you and build a new tomb"

    Liu Hongying stood up and looked deeply at the big characters on the tombstone, as if she wanted to imprint them in her mind forever, then turned around and walked out of the forest.

    Tang Kui and Mu Tie hurriedly followed up, and Mu Tie asked: "Master Liu, let's"

    "Kill Pan Qing and avenge Lao Ma," Liu Hongying said without looking back.

    Mu Tie was shocked and said: "Master Liu, there are more than 3,000 brothers following Pan Qing, that beast. If we just go like this, what's the difference between going to death?"

    Liu Hongying turned around and said, "Are you afraid of death?"

    Mu Tie had a fearless look in his eyes, shook his head and said: "My life was originally given to me by the village master, so what does it matter if I return it to the village master, but I am worried about the safety of Mr. Liu and Brother Tang"

    Liu Hongying nodded, turned to Tang Kui and said, "Are you afraid?"

    Tang Kui said calmly: "I'm afraid, but if someone harms my brother, I will definitely risk my life to avenge him."

    Liu Hongying reached out and patted Tang Kui's shoulder. Finally, a hint of warmth appeared on her cold face. She nodded and said, "Then let's go."

    Mu Tie hurriedly said: "Master Liu, it's better to outsmart him than to fight head-on."

    Liu Hongying stopped and said, "What's your idea?"

    ¡­¡­

    Well, there is no meaning to stop at all at all. The endless water and light between the whole world and the blood gradually drowned the killing and blood.

    When Dai Chaozong rode his horse and dragged his body full of scars to the hillock they had agreed upon in advance, Xiang Xun was leaning under a pine tree to adjust his breathing. Next to him was a scroll soaked by the rain.  quilt.

    The horse stopped. Dai Chaozong wanted to turn over and dismount, but he fell directly off the horse's back and fell into the muddy water. Xiang Xun was so horrified that he rushed over to check his injuries.

    "Ahem, it doesn't matter, I just lost strength" Dai Chaozong coughed twice gently, shook his head and exhaled.

    With the support of Xiang Xun, Dai Chaozong walked to the pine tree, sat down with his back against the pine tree, panted and said with a smile: "I killed about seventy or eighty thieves this time, what about you?"

    Xiang Xun sat down, shook his head and said with a smile: "I missed a little, I only killed more than fifty people."

    Dai Chaozong closed his eyes and rested for a while, then smiled again and said, "I killed so many people with the help of the traps I arranged. You are so awesome."

    Xiang Xun shook his head and smiled, stood up and walked to the side of the quilt, untying the rope that bound the quilt. As soon as the quilt was loosened, a large lump of fat was exposed.

    Dai Chaozong laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the fourth master would be such a big fat mass."

    Xiang Xun used his hand to test Meng Anshan's breath, then stretched out his hand to open his big mouth and took a look, his face suddenly turned livid.

    "What's wrong?" Dai Chaozong asked quickly when he saw Xiang Xun's unkind expression.

    Xiang Xun's eyes showed deep self-blame: "It's all my fault. I didn't look at him carefully. Looking at him like this, he must have woken up a long time ago and bit the poison sac under his teeth. He is already dead."  It¡¯s been a while¡­¡±

    Dai Chaozong cursed: "Damn it, I didn't expect this fat man to be so decisive Forget it, don't blame yourself, I can't blame you for this."

    Xiang Xun shook his head and frowned: "When I went to catch him, I did a special test, so I can be sure that Peng Ge has some big plan. This guy must know it, but it's a pity"

    Dai Chaozong shook his head and said: "Now that the matter is over, let's return to the town immediately to see if the reinforcements from the ranch have arrived"

    ¡­¡­

    Because the thieves in the small valley no longer have Meng Anshan's command and their horses are all limp, they are not of concern for the time being.

    Dai Chaozong and Xiang Xun no longer hesitated, and immediately galloped back to the town. However, when they were still four or five feet away from the Yunjin Inn, they saw a man falling out of the inn, spitting "A mass of shocking blood.

    "Second brother?" Xiang Xun took a closer look, and it turned out that the person was Li Jing. Before he could finish his words, a short sword pierced out from the inn like lightning, pierced the rain curtain, and stabbed Li Jing in the chest.

    With a "ding" sound, Li Jing managed to raise the cold iron spear in his hand to block the killing sword. However, he was shocked by the power of the sword and fell more than a foot away again.

    With a quick glance, Xiang Xun immediately recognized that the woman wielding the dagger was the highly skilled female assassin.

    "You bastard, give me your life." Xiang Xun's eyes were about to burst. He used his feet to force himself, and he immediately flew up from the horse. He held the steel knife high above his head, like a killing god, carrying an unrivaled force.  With such momentum, he slashed down at the female assassin.

    "Whoops" Dai Chaozong didn't say anything, and he led the string and shot at the female assassin. He was in front of Xiang Xun and shot the female assassin's dagger, causing her attempt to assassinate Li Jing to fail.

    The successive assassinations made Xiang Xun's heart ablaze, and his endless murderous intention condensed like a substance. The steel knife in his hand followed a mysterious arc, cut through the rain curtain, and struck the female assassin's head like a thunderstorm.

    The female assassin frowned and advanced instead of retreating. She raised the dagger in her hand diagonally and hit Xiang Xun's blade.

    "Dang" The dagger in the female assassin's hand was made of something unknown. With a slanting stroke, it actually cut the curled steel knife in Xiang Xun's hand into two pieces.

    "Poof~" Although Xiang Xun's steel knife was broken, the sharp sword energy shocked the female assassin and spurted a mouthful of blood.

    The female assassin was so frightened that she no longer cared about assassinating Li Jing. She threw a poisonous smoke bomb at each of Xiang Xun and Dai Chaozong, spread out her body, and flew back.

    I don¡¯t know what the poisonous smoke bomb was made of, but it was not affected by the heavy rain at all. It instantly turned into a cloud of purple mist, covering an area of ??more than three feet in radius. When Xiang Xun and Dai Chaozong rushed out of the purple mist, they were long gone.  He saw the figure of the female assassin.

    In fact, after a series of fierce battles between Xiang Xun and Dai Chaozong, the whole person was already at the end of his strength. At this time, he was unable to pursue anymore. He secretly shouted in his heart that it was dangerous and quickly helped Li Jing into the inn.

    The inn was in a mess. Zhang Jin, Dai Shan and others were all stabbed by the female assassin. However, the injuries were not serious, but they were unable to fight anymore.

    "This crazy woman is really haunting. If she dares to come here next time, she must never come back." Xiang Xun helped the injured Li Jing to sit down on a chair and said angrily.

    Li Jing said with some fear: "Fortunately you two came back in time, otherwise I would never have been able to escape from her clutches."

    Dai Shan said with lingering fear: "Where did you provoke this female master? I can't even block her sword?"

    Xiang Xun hastily told everyone about the female assassin's situation, which made people feel numb. Being stared at by such an assassin was really an extremely terrifying thing.

    Zhang Jin asked: "What did you gain from this trip?"

    Dai Chaozong told them all about their situation, which caused everyone to exclaim and admire.

    Zhang Jin sighed and said, "It would be nice if we could pry some news out of that fat pig's mouth. The brothers from the pasture haven't arrived yet, so it would be better if something happened."

    Dai Chaozong frowned and said: "I think Brother Xiang's previous analysis is very reasonable. If the people at the ranch are not there tomorrow morning, I will rush back to the ranch to see what happened"

    ¡­¡­

    The next morning, the sky cleared up, but the reinforcements from Liuyun Ranch still had not arrived, so Dai Chaozong resolutely returned to the ranch alone.

    In the afternoon, the thieves who were walking on foot finally arrived at the town. Under the command of the thief who was responsible for delivering the message, the thieves immediately began to attack regardless of their fatigue. However, under Dai Shan's plan, they immediately  After suffering a huge loss, after leaving more than two hundred corpses of thieves behind, the remaining dozens of people fled in dismay

    ¡­¡­

    The news that the bandits were defeated spread like wildfire, and the town gradually began to regain its former vitality. Not only did this not make Zhang Jin, who was the deacon in charge, happy, but it made him feel an inexplicable sense of loss and sadness.  Because these people only regard this town as a place to exchange property, and they have no sense of belonging to the town at all.

    In fact, there are too many similar scenes in this world. In the minds of many people, there are really only a handful of places worthy of their nostalgia and sacrifice. This may be because of forced survival, or perhaps,  Because my heart has nothing to rely on

    ¡­¡­

    A few days later, there was still no news from the ranch. Zhang Jin's troubles continued, but Li Jing's injuries had fully recovered. The two of them, under the entrustment of everyone, plannedGo to Liuyun Ranch in the north.

    After running north for two days, we finally arrived at a small village at noon.

    The two of them had already finished eating the dry food they had brought with them. At this time, their stomachs were rumbling like drums. They were about to walk into the village to find some food. However, before the two of them approached the entrance of the village, they heard a burst of crying for father and mother from the village.  the sound of.

    Xiang Xun and Li Jing looked at each other, quietly slipped off their horses, and were about to walk into the village to inspect, when they saw a dozen villagers carrying small bundles and rushing out of the village.

    The two wanted to stop a villager to ask a question, but no one stopped at all. A villager turned around and reminded them kindly: "A thief has entered the village. Run quickly, don't die."

    The two sneaked into the village silently, and the situation before them made them frown. They saw more than a hundred villagers being driven by some thieves with black scarves tied on their heads, and stood under a big tree in the village. The man  People stood dejectedly on the left side, while the elderly, women and children stood on the right side wiping their tears and crying.

    Xiang Xun suppressed his voice and said angrily: "They are Peng Ge's men, huh, these scum who do all kinds of evil." As he said that, he was ready to rush out and kill them all.

    Li Jing quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Although there are not many of them, there are a few standing beside the villagers with knives. We rush out rashly, fearing that we will harm their lives. We just pretend to be villagers, and you start from there."  I'll go over here, and I'll take action immediately when I get close to them."

    There were only a dozen thieves in the field. These few people were nothing to Xiang Xun and Li Jing. It only took a few seconds to knock down all the thieves in the astonished eyes of the villagers, leaving only the leader.  The thief is alive.

    The villagers who had already felt desperate were overjoyed. However, after most of them expressed their gratitude to them, they immediately took their wives and children and fled the village with some belongings.

    Xiang Xun kicked the head of the thieves who were knocked unconscious. He frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "They actually forced the people to have their homes and dare not return home. These thieves are really unforgivable."

    Li Jing nodded and sighed: "The world is in ruins and thieves are running rampant"

    Just when the two of them were sighing, an old man came over and invited them to sit at home. The two of them were hungry, so they quickly picked up the beaten thief and followed him.

    Xiang Xun was drinking rice porridge and asked: "Old man, I think everyone in the village has run away, why don't you leave?"

    The old man shook his head and said: "I'm an old man and it's hard to even walk. Why should I run away? Besides, even if I run away, where can I go? Alas"

    The two chatted with the old man while eating. It turned out that the old man's wife passed away a few years ago. His son, daughter-in-law and newborn grandson were also brutally killed by several bandits who came here. Now only  Next time he is all alone

    After the two of them were full, the old man wrapped a few corn pancakes just baked in the pot in clean cloth and gave them to them to eat on the road.

    The two took the cake and thanked them repeatedly. Xiang Xun took advantage of the old man's turn to secretly leave a piece of silver under the table. Then he said goodbye to Li Jing and the old man, and went out with the thief.

    Walking under the big tree in the village, Xiang Xun sighed: "Yang Guang, this foolish king, has a good country, but now he has tormented him into this state. It makes people sad to think about it If it weren't for him, how could he be like this?  Many people are displaced, how can there be so many thieves who harm others?¡±

    After saying that, he snorted coldly, pinched the leader of the gang of thieves awake and asked, "Why did Peng Ge send you out?"

    The thief howled miserably, his liver and gallbladder split with horror, and he quickly begged: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life, we just followed orders from above to grab some food and property, and pick up some strong men by the way"

    Xiang Xun slapped him hard on the face, pointed at a few burning houses not far away and shouted angrily: "Robbing things? And you are trying to recruit a young man? Forget it, do you need to set fire to it? How much do you want to give?"  Are the people homeless? Beasts"

    Li Jing asked coldly: "Where are Peng Ge and others? What are they doing now?"

    The thief held the sore cheek and said, "Our boss is united with the 'Niu Demon' Niu Dakun, and they are attacking Liuyun Ranch"

    Although they had already thought of this possibility, Xiang Xun and Li Jing were still shocked beyond measure. Li Jing frowned and said: "Liuyun Ranch is strong and has natural dangers to stand against. How can a mob like you be able to deal with it? What conspiracy does Peng Ge have?  trick?"

    The thief rolled his eyes slightly, and then hurriedly cried and begged: "I don't know, this is the meaning of the master. Anyway, our master has always made perfect plans, and the brothers believe it very much, so the master asked us  Fight, then?.  "

    Xiang Xun stretched out his hand to strangle the thief's neck, and said with uncontrollable anger in his eyes: "Tell me clearly, if you dare to say even half a word, I will break your neck."

    Feeling that the big hand around his neck was getting tighter and tighter, the thief was so frightened that he quickly cried out that he had something to say.

    "explain"

    The thief took a few breaths of fresh air, coughed twice and said: "We are just surrounding the southern exit of their pasture and have not attacked it yet. I heard that a batch of very vicious firearms will be delivered today.  when¡­¡­"

    Xiang Xun knocked down the thief with a "bang" palm. He frowned and said, "Second brother, we must rush over immediately, otherwise we will be in disarray."

    "Let's go and see how to deliver this terrible news to the people in the ranch"

    ¡­¡­

    The two of them ran all the way towards Liuyun Ranch. When they saw any lone bandits on the way, they immediately took action to kill them. They ran like this for more than an hour. After climbing over a hill, they finally vaguely saw the bandits surrounding them several miles away.  Thousands of thieves arrived at the exit of the ranch.

    Liuyun Ranch is located at the junction of Mianyang County and Anliu County. It has an area of ??about eight miles and is surrounded by mountains. A tributary of rich water runs through it, making the soil fertile and the water and grass luxuriant. It is a rare place to tame war horses.  The good part.

    The terrain of Liuyun Ranch is extremely peculiar. It was originally surrounded by undulating mountains, making the ranch look like a basin. However, the north and south sides did not close together. There were two gorges at the end of the mountains, less than half the width.  inside.

    The pasture built a small-scale city wall at the exit. The city wall was rammed with a mixture of loess, lime and glutinous rice juice. It was built layer by layer and was extremely hard. Later, large blue stones were built on the foundation, which not only made it protective  Greatly improved, it also makes the city wall look majestic.

    The city wall is nearly three feet high, with battlements built on it, which can be used by the guards of the pasture for observation and shooting. In addition, there is a tower in the center of the city wall, with hunting flags on it. The guard soldiers all wear Liuyun armor or draw bows and crossbows.  , or holding a spear and gun, which has an intimidating momentum.

    Liuyun Ranch itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The numerous bandits just surrounded the ranch from a distance. They did not approach or attack. They only kept sending people to the front to insult Liuyun Ranch for being as timid as a mouse. However, in the end they only provoked  There was a hail of arrows coming over the city, but no one from the ranch came out to fight back.

    The two of them looked from a distance and saw that the soldiers of Liuyun Ranch were neat and orderly, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. Looking at the bandits, they were clearly divided into two groups. One group was calm and peaceful; the other group was lively and lively like a market, with shouts and curses coming and going.  Xiang Xun and Li Jingxin said that Peng Ge and Niu Dakun had really joined forces.
