Chapter 169 Killing a dog without leaving traces

Chapter 169: Killing the Dog Without Leaving a Trace

When going down the mountain, Dongfang Ying discovered that there was a spring in the mountain stream flowing down the valley and near the rock where the tiger was imprisoned, so she found a hoe and shovel from the farmer's house. , returned to Hulao with Mingchuan Rongmei.

A shallow trench was dug on the slope behind the rock, and the mountain spring was led to the big rock. It flowed down the rock and rushed into the one-foot-wide gap between the stone slab and the rock. Through the gaps, water fell into the Hulao Stone Chamber like small waterfalls.

The tiger was lying in the cell and was drowsy. Suddenly, it was splashed by the spring water flowing down. It was so cool that it couldn't help but scream for joy. The tiger roared. Get under the rocks and get a good shower.

The mountain spring water washed away the dirt and fleas on the tiger's body, washed away the feces, mosquitoes and flies in the tiger's prison, and then flowed out of the tiger's prison along the floor, forming a new trickle and nourishing the forest and grass slopes below.

Dongfang Ying and Mingchuan Rongmei were very satisfied when they heard the tiger's cheerful roar. Not only did they help the tiger take a pleasant "shower", but the tiger's roar was enough to shock everyone, proving that The words of the women on the mountain and the villagers below.

The tiger was even more grateful to the two women for bringing him sweet and cool spring water. From now on, he could drink water and bathe freely in the tiger prison. The cage that was originally used to imprison the tiger became A livable paradise.

Back in the village, the two girls looked at the empty cottages and green farmland, and realized that this place was so peaceful and beautiful. However, if it lacked popularity, it would be a fly in the ointment. .

Moreover, this is also a checkpoint and barrier on the mountain. It cannot be abandoned or abandoned. The crops in the fields also need people to take care of them.

Dongfang Ying thought about it for a while and came up with a solution, so she said to Lan Zhixin:

"Sister Lan, I'm sorry to have wasted half a day! Let's leave here now, tonight We will spend the night in Songxi County and drive at full speed tomorrow."

Lan Zhixin estimated that she would not be able to reach Qingyuan County today. There were still four days left after tonight. If everything went smoothly, she would arrive as scheduled. It should be certain.

So they nodded and said yes, and everyone rode the remaining mules and horses back to the Zhenhukou Pass. There were only Dou Nan and six gang guards there at the moment. Dongfang Ying's white horse, red horse and yellow gelding were all beside him. Grazing leisurely.

Dongfang Ying first thanked Dou Nan and the Jian'an Gang for their assistance, and then said:

"Brother Dou, we have decided to establish the Songyue Sword Sect on Zhanlu Mountain. Although My little sister failed to become a member of your gang, but we can become allies and support each other. What do you think?"

Dou Nan said happily:

" That is something we can only hope for. In the future, with such a strong support from the female hero, what should we in the Jian'an Gang have to fear? Even if the government and soldiers come to make things difficult, they will definitely be defeated!"

Dongfang! Ying smiled and said:

"However, we are still weak now, and we are not enough to truly compete with the Qing army. We need to recruit troops, recharge our batteries, and wait for the future."

"Little My sister has a suggestion. Your gang has offended the government now, and everyone in the gang is hiding their whereabouts. Zhanlu Mountain is deep and vast, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is a good place to hide."

"There is Jiagu Village on the mountainside. The houses and fields are all ready-made, and there is water and food. Your gang can arrange a group of people to camp there."

"I can join here and defend together; We can communicate with the Songyue Sword Sect on the top of the mountain and exchange news."

"What do you think, Second Brother Dou?"

Dou Nan pondered for a moment and nodded:

"I think the female hero's proposal is very good. I just saw hundreds of villagers leaving, and I also learned about the general situation of Jiagu Village. I thought that a good village cannot be so abandoned. What a pity."

"I was embarrassed to speak to the heroine, but I didn't expect that the heroine would give us this good place. Then our Jian'an Gang would be ashamed of it."

" I will send people to the Meikou Pier to summon the gang, and we happen to have a Xiangtang there, so that they can all be transferred here to station."

Dongfang Ying did not expect that it would go so smoothly and let Jian'an go so easily. The gang has taken over Jiagu Village. As long as this reliable gang is guarding the foot of the mountain, the girls on the mountain will have an extra layer of protection, and I will feel more at ease.

Then he remembered that the other two passes also needed to be defended, so he said:

"Then we are on the same page. By the way, there is another one to the north of Zhanyun Peak. There is also a Zhihu Terrace under the Zhuangyuan Peak at Grape Rock, both of which are dangerous places to go up the mountain. I would like to ask you to arrange a few people to garrison there."

Dou Nan readily agreed, Dongfang said. Ying took off the baggage on her shoulders and said with a smile:

"Since our two factions are allies, we should help each other. Our brothers and sisters in the mountains, their food and Please do your best to solve the necessary items."

"Here are some fine jewelry obtained from the bandit leader. Please accept them as payment for the purchase."

"I don't dare to accept this! The heroine led the people to conquer such a good village and gave it to us for free. We provided some food and supplies. That's It is a matter of course."

"If we continue to accept this batch of jewelry, not only will the heroes in the world laugh at our Jian'an Gang, but I, Dou Nan, will also look down on myself!"

Dongfang Ying shook her head and said seriously:

"Brother Dou, listen to me, these jewels do not belong to me in the first place, they should be used in their proper place, I will hand them over to your help, and One purpose."

"That is when we train troops in the mountains, the guns are currently used.Although there is no shortage, guns and ammunition are very scarce. Not to mention defending against enemies, even for training and use, they are still short of resources. ”

“So this batch of jewelry is not only used to buy daily necessities, but more importantly, it is used to buy bullets for our foreign guns.” "

"Second brother Dou has a wide network and a lot of help. Please handle this matter for my little sister. ”

Only then did Dou Nan understand his intention and had to solemnly agree to take the cloth bag. He took the heavy bag and took a quick look. He saw that it was full of jewels, including some hairpin earrings, pearl necklaces, etc. The jade bracelet... is really priceless.

I was secretly stunned by the craziness of the bandits in amassing money. At the same time, I was deeply impressed by Dongfang Ying's heroic spirit. She gave such a precious treasure without any hesitation.

If he knew that Dongfang Ying had given more than 10,000 taels of silver notes to Mingchuan Rongmei and more than a dozen gold bars to the villagers, he would probably be even more shocked.

Dou would be even more shocked at the moment. Nan then sent a shrewd disciple to ride a fast horse out of the valley and go to Meikou Wharf to transfer people and secretly move the Jian'an Clan's Meikou branch here.

After completing this arrangement, Dongfang Ying breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the backyard was stable and the sisters were completely safe, she could move forward with peace of mind.

Then she said goodbye to Dou Nan and met Mingchuan Rongmei and Lan Zhixin. Together with Kuang Zhiyuan and Lan Zhixin's two maids, they rode on mules and drove three cargo mules, leaving the Zhanlu Mountain boundary on a gentle and winding stone road.

The abandoned "Donglu Tea House" left the "Dongguan Wumen", passed several villages to the north, and passed through a market town, arriving at the bank of Songxi River. It was already dark, so I found an inn on the outskirts of Hedong County. Check in.

After dinner, Dongfang Ying asked Mingchuan Rongmei and Kuang Zhiyuan to protect the three girls Lan Zhixin, while she wanted to go across the river to the county town and would be back in about an hour.

Mingchuan Rongmei naturally knew that she was going to deal with the county magistrate and the county magistrate and destroy the opium den, firstly to eliminate harm to the people, and secondly to protect the safety of everyone in Zhanlushan

Because the government and the government were not involved. The bandits are colluding, and once they learn that the bandits have been annihilated, they will definitely send troops into the mountains to take revenge. Dongfang Ying killed the magistrate and the county magistrate in order to drain the fire and eliminate this threat.

She also wanted to join them. Go and take care of each other.

Dongfang Ying reassured Mingchuan Rongmei that a small county town could not trap her, not to mention that she was even more foolproof now that she had the Zhanlu sword in hand.

And the suction force is so strong that even without additional reinforcement, it will not slip off. It is like two swords in a sheath, like maggots attached to bones. I really don’t know what power makes these two swords so close.

On the contrary, Mrs. Liao and others lived outside the city, and their property was in trouble.Eyes are really not safe and must be protected by someone at all times. Mingchuan Rongmei's protection is even more needed here.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.

Mingchuan Rongmei thought about it and stopped insisting. She was very confident in the heroine's martial arts. As long as she did not directly confront Kuai Qiang, she could almost walk sideways in this small county town.

However, I still solemnly tell her that she must be careful and keep an eye on her at all times.

Without saying hello to Lan Zhixin, Dongfang Ying put on a black cloak and walked out of the inn. She quickly walked to the shore, found a bamboo raft for ferry, and soon arrived at a five-view building. Dock near the Temple of Wealth.

Dongfang Ying paid five taels of silver to the boatman holding the raft and asked him to wait for her here. He would not leave until she did not come back within an hour.

The boatman was overjoyed. He ferryed by the river for only three copper coins per trip, and he could not earn two taels of silver in a month. He did not expect to earn five taels of silver so easily tonight in the blink of an eye.

Naturally, he hurriedly agreed. It would be no problem to stay here all night, let alone an hour.

Dongfang Ying saw that the boatman was an honest man, so she clasped her fists and said:

"Thank you, uncle, I'm leaving."

Immediately flew into the night, He ran towards the city gate with a lantern hanging not far away.

Dongfang Ying's movement was so fast. Before the boatman could recover, Dongfang Ying had disappeared. For a moment, she could not close her mouth.

The city gate was only a few dozen feet away from the shore. Dongfang Ying arrived in a moment. She saw that the city tower was double-story high, with the words "Yinbin Gate" carved on the door beam. The walls were high and the door was thick, including The iron sheet is very strong.

Dongfang Ying saw that the city gate was closed, which was expected because there were soldiers patrolling on both sides of the city tower. She walked south along the base of the wall for a short distance, only to see that a section of the city wall had collapsed and been damaged. The work shed seems to be under construction.

The work shed outside the city was dark, and snoring could be heard. There was no one on duty. There were two lanterns hanging on both sides of the newly built gap less than one foot high, and no one could be seen.

Dongfang Ying no longer hesitated, jumped up to the gap in the city wall, and fell into the inner side of the city wall. She saw that the area was quiet and there was no one around, so she swaggered towards a street in the city.

The lights in the city were dim, and there were more and more pedestrians after entering the street. Dongfang Ying asked a passerby where the county government office was, and then followed the direction to find it.

The county government office is indeed the tallest and majestic building in the city. The two stone lions in front of the door look ferocious, and the streets on both sides are deserted. People probably stay away from it.

Dongfang Ying also knew that county offices usually have court halls in the front yard and the magistrate's residence in the backyard. She immediately walked around the backyard fence and jumped in lightly.

As early as outside the wall, she could hear the laughter of men and women inside. Dongfang Ying looked towards a small pavilion, but saw a round table in the pavilion.There were two or three people sitting at the table.

Surrounding the pond outside the pavilion is a wooden bridge across the embankment. Two men who look like government officials stand beside the pond.

Dongfang Ying heard the charming voice of a woman in the pavilion say:

"Master, you are so bad... You don't need a wine glass, you have to use someone else's small mouth..."

Then a man chuckled and said:

"My special little treasure, a hard and cold wine glass, is not as useful as your warm, fragrant, soft and sweet jade pot. I will get drunk without drinking, sir." Now..."

I heard another woman's voice saying coquettishly:

"I'm not coming anymore. You two flirting like this in front of others is really eye-catching..." < /p>

The man laughed in a hoarse voice:

"Oh, the big baby is jealous too... Come on, come on, sir, let me taste your little mouth too..." < /p>

Dongfang Ying felt numb after hearing this, and could already tell that this dirty thing should be the magistrate of Songxi County.

He took out the Zhanlu Sword from his waist and was about to rush in to kill a few bad men and women, but he heard two low roars of "Ouch", and then two gusts of wind hit from the left and right.

Dongfang Ying didn't look at it. She flicked her wrist, the sound of wind and thunder stirred, and the Zhanlu sword struck out horizontally.

With a scream of "Woo", a calf-sized mastiff was split open from the head, split in half from the side to the tail, and the dog's blood was spread all over a courtyard wall.

Immediately, Dongfang Ying turned around, and then slashed with a sword. Another white mastiff was chopped into two pieces from the back. The front part of the dog's head fell into the pool, and the back part of the dog's butt fell into the flower bed. middle.

Dongfang Ying stared at the Zhanlu sword. It was still the same as before, dark and restrained and cold. There was no blood on the sword, and no trace could be found. She couldn't help but praise:

"What a sword! It is indeed an ancient magic weapon!"

The men and women in the pavilion still didn't know what happened, but the man's voice shouted:

"Come, what happened? Why is this happening? Can you afford to be noisy and disturb the enjoyment of this county and my concubine?"

The two government officials by the pool hurriedly apologized:

"My lord, please forgive me! The dragons and dogs they raised are fighting for food. Let's go over and take a look and comfort them."

The man shouted impatiently:

"Go and wait for me. It's really good. A bunch of rubbish..."

Dongfang Ying said coldly:

"No, I'll cut your dog daddy into food for you. Do you want to give this dog to you? Give it a try!"

The man was furious and shouted: "Where did the assassin come from? Come on, take down the assassin quickly..." < /p>

The two yamen servants hurriedly pulled out their sabers and charged at Dongfang Ying. Dongfang Ying faced her head-on, and Zhanlu's sword directly touched the sabers chopped off by the yamen servants..

But there were two soft "chacha" sounds like cutting vegetables. The two waist knives were broken from the break. Dongfang Ying pushed straight with her long sword, cutting the two government officials' palms into four pieces, and then cut the two Yamen servants' palms into four parts from the temples. Cut through.

The two government officials didn’t even have time to scream, and they both fell to the ground.

Dongfang Ying rushed across the trestle like a gust of wind and stopped in front of the pavilion. She saw a dark-faced, plump middle-aged man wearing a loose silk undershirt, holding two young women with heavy makeup on his left and right, his eyes wide open. Keep your eyes where you are.

Dongfang Ying snorted coldly:

"Shameless!"

Kicked the two sluts into the water, Zhan Lu Jianyi Shaking, he cut off the middle-aged man's right palm and shouted:

"Are you the magistrate of Songxi County?"

The middle-aged man was in pain and shock, with blood on his face. Suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a yellowish white color, cold sweat dripping down, lying on the table shivering and saying:

"Uncle, please spare your life... don't kill me." , I am... the county master of this county... As long as you don't kill me, I will give you gold and silver... as much as you want..."
