Chapter 2493: Chase, Ambush

"Uncle, actually the smuggling is between Yingzhou and North Korea. The connection between these two places and the Central Plains has never been cut off. It is impossible for the navy to keep an eye on this sea all the time, so after those people know the habit of the navy to sail, , they would look for opportunities to go to sea, but most of what they smuggled were money-making things, so our people just watched and didn't take action. "

A member of the Jinyiwei Baihu was introducing the situation of the case to Fang Xing, looking a little depressed.

"They are smuggling iron materials... There is no shortage of iron materials in the Ming Dynasty, especially in North Korea, and there is gold and silver in Yingzhou. Gold and silver are used to buy iron materials. No matter how you look at it, it looks like someone in Yingzhou is plotting something evil."

"Uncle, I will see you thousands of miles away."

This Jinyiwei Baihu is called Xin Chao, his eyes are a little lively, and he looks as cunning as a businessman.

"Xiaguan pretended to be a businessman and got in. At first, he asked Yingzhou to investigate, trying to find the source. But in the end, he only found a puppet, and he knew almost nothing about the matter."

"Later, the official came back and found that the iron materials did not seem to have gone to sea..."

Xin Chao looked a little confused and said: "The official sent his brothers to check those old boatmen, and found that more than ten people were missing, so the official sent people to continue the investigation."

Fang Xing said calmly: "The nature of the Yingzhou people is to surrender unconditionally when they are weak, so I never worry about what will happen to them when the Ming Dynasty is strong. What I should pay more attention to is the seemingly stable place here."

Xin Chao praised: "My dear uncle, it is indeed true. The brothers under Xiaguan have found several suspects and are keeping an eye on them. It is estimated that there will be news soon."

…

The sun is getting hotter, and there is less movement in the mountains and forests.

The birds were probably tired from chirping in the morning, so they stayed silent, and the loving ones just slept together with their necks crossed.

Most animals are boring, and they are full when they need to eat. At least in the afternoon, what everyone likes most is to rest and take a nap, avoid direct sunlight, and reduce consumption.

A small stream flows through the forest. The water is gurgling and crystal clear.

A little crab sneakily crawled out from under the stone, then stopped for a moment, probably realizing that there was no danger, and then headed towards the shore.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, but there are many fish and shrimps in this stream, even loaches.

The little crab slowly crawled towards the shore until it reached a pair of slender things.

It stopped, its eyes bulging out and looking around.

Perhaps feeling the danger, the little crab subconsciously raised its pliers.

A long and narrow bird's beak suddenly rushed into the stream, then opened and clamped the small crab.

The little crab only had time to struggle before disappearing into the black beak.

On the water, a Zhu swallowed his afternoon snack and felt satisfied, so he barked twice.

Zhu's cry was strange and unique, like a child's voice, but upon closer inspection, it sounded more like a crow.

After eating the small crab, Zhu moved his long legs and swam gracefully along the shore.

And just to the edge, the light spots projected by the sun through the branches and leaves were moving slightly, concealing the silent approach of a leopard.

When describing tigers and leopards, tigers are generally majestic and regal, while leopards are not highly regarded.

But when a leopard is about to hunt, its elegant pace and calm temperament make people admire this elegant species.

Zhu Yiran was not aware of it, and he even lowered his head and searched for it in the stream.

The leopard gradually began to speed up.

Its body is full of strength and its steps are even more agile.

If it takes another step, it will fly over, and then the Zhu will never be able to escape his attack.

Heavy footsteps came suddenly,

The sound of gasping made Zhu subconsciously run quickly.

The leopard's attack missed and he couldn't help but stare fiercely at the source of the sound.

The two men just rushed out of the dense forest.

After seeing the leopard, they didn't even try to hide.

It was probably because he had never seen an animal that dared to face him directly, so the leopard was stunned for a moment, and then the two men rushed over.

While the leopard was still dazed, more than thirty people rushed out from where the two men had come.

Some of the thirty or so people were holding knives, and some were holding bows and arrows.

The leopard finally panicked. Just when it wanted to retreat, someone from the opposite side shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

The arrow instantly caused the king of the forest to fall to the ground. Just when it was about to struggle, those people swarmed away from it and around it.

"Kill them! Leave no one alive!"

"They are the royal guards of Mingren. If they don't die, we will die!"

This group of people was chasing madly, and they were obviously more accustomed to running in the mountains and forests, so they kept closing the distance between them.

The two men in front were panting like cattle, but the shouts behind them kept getting closer.

"Xiao Li...I...can't do it anymore."

A man on the left who was almost dragging a long knife suddenly shouted.

The man on the right said: "Hold it, Old Liu, the thing ahead is... it's going down the mountain."

The two of them ran in a hurry. When they saw the path going down the mountain, Lao Liu's breathing almost stopped.

"I...I can't run anymore."

"run!"

Xiao Li grabbed his hand and led him running down.

"I can't do it anymore. Go tell your lord that Li Shen is plotting rebellion..."

Lao Liu suddenly stopped, and Xiao Li was led by him for a moment. Then he turned around and took a look, and saw a few pursuers setting their bows and arrows, while others were running over with joy in their faces.

"run!"

Xiao Li suddenly bent down, picked up Lao Liu, turned around and ran away.

The arrow landed where they were standing before, and someone behind them cursed: "Do you want to become a general like this? Idiots! Chase after me!"

"Xiao Li, put me down!"

Lao Liu struggled for a while and then stopped, because if he continued to struggle he would be a wolf-hearted person.

Xiao Li's breathing gradually calmed down, but this was the result of forced suppression. It is said that this is his family's secret skill.

This can lock the power in the body without losing it, but the price is quite high.

His speed suddenly increased, and the people behind him were pulled away some distance.

The two sides were running and chasing each other on this sunny afternoon. Gradually, when a corner appeared in front of them, someone behind them shouted: "If you go out again, there will be farmers, kill them! There will be a reward of 500 taels of silver." !”

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts go round. For these pursuers, five hundred taels of silver is probably a huge sum of money that can drive people crazy.

So everyone rushed to be the first, and the archers ran directly to the small slope on the side, where they would use arrows to control the escape direction of the two Jin Yiwei.

As the commander, an armored man was rushed out of the corner. In front of him was a plain and... endless fields.

"Kill them all! Kill the people of light!"

The armored man roared, and the two armored guards in front began to slow down.

He looked up at Xiaopo on the right and shouted: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

But the dozen or so archers on the slope have been cornered.

Wu Chuan rushed into the middle of the archers like a leopard. His long knife chopped off the long bow that the archer had raised in a hurry, and then slashed it down from the neck.

He stepped lightly, took three steps forward, knocked an archer who had just bent his bow to the ground, and immediately raised his head to the sky with a loud roar.

"ah……"

When the pursuers had just chased out of the mountain road, a roar was heard. When the armored man heard the sound coming from the small slope, he cursed: "Shut up!"

boom!

Just as he shouted to shut up, a man suddenly appeared from the ground beside him, and a spear passed in front of him.

The armored man retreated subconsciously, grabbing the person next to him and blocking him in front of him.

"Enemy attack!"
