Patrol's sweetheart baby

Xie Jin led the people in vain into the forest.

The mountains are densely wooded, the roads are intertwined, and it is difficult to travel.

All the people had to rely on the swords in their hands to cut down the weeds and branches all the way, so that they could barely move forward, relying on the Big Dipper in the sky to distinguish the direction.

Perhaps it was because it was late autumn in Fufeng County and winter was about to enter, and the temperature in the mountains was low, so no one encountered any beasts or poisonous snakes along the way.

Just when everyone was secretly rejoicing that the trip went smoothly, after about a quarter of an hour, Xie Jinbai raised his hand and ordered the team to stop temporarily.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Huo Sheng, who was walking in the front, turned his head panting.

Walking at night is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is that you need to chop down the weeds and branches on both sides of the road from time to time, which is the most energy-consuming.

Others also stopped.

Xie Jinbai said in a deep voice, "This path is wrong."

"It should be right? My lord, look, there are still roads that the villagers stepped on before."

Holding a torch in his hand, Huo Sheng shone on the ground and swept away the fallen leaves with his feet.

Sweeping away the deep piles of fallen leaves on the ground, it is indeed possible to vaguely recognize the total number of people who have often walked here.

"There are so many of us on this road, and we still need to slash the original road to move forward. How can the other party bring Tang'er through the forest freely?"

Xie Jinbai's question completely stumped Huo Sheng.

"This……"

"The master is suspicious. There is a secret passage in this mountain leading to the outside world?"

Xiao Zishu and Xie Jinbai had the most tacit understanding, and immediately understood what Xie Jinbai meant.

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, "Secret way? Is there a secret way in this mountain?"

"No way? I grew up on this mountain, but I have never heard of any secret way here."

"Yeah, I've never heard of any secret passages here."

"However, my lord's doubts are very reasonable. There are so many of us, and it's still difficult for us to take a single step. How can the thief bring the young master around freely?"

"What if... what if it is true that the thief has the ability to reach the sky, and there is no secret way in this mountain forest?"

Everyone can't stop arguing.

If there is indeed no secret path in this mountain, wouldn't it be a waste of time if they stopped to find some secret path?

Their time is of course not precious, I'm afraid the young master can't afford to waste it.

Xie Jinbai didn't have such hesitation.

But at this time, he can only take a gamble.He raised his hand, and everyone fell silent immediately.

Xie Jinbai gave an order, "The secret passage should be near the entrance of the mountain forest, everyone should stop moving forward and go back the same way."

The speed of returning to the original road was much faster than when they came, after all, they had already passed the road before.

It took nearly half an hour to go back and forth, and everyone returned to the place where they entered the forest.

"But all secret passages are usually located in an inconspicuous place that blends in with the surrounding scenery. In this way, it will not be easily noticed by people. In the mountains and forests, trees, stones, and leaves are the best. cover up.

In groups of two and two, check the nearby rocks, trees, and branches separately to see if you can find the entrance to the secret passage.If you find a secret passage, or if you encounter any danger and need reinforcements, blow the whistle to let them know. "

"Yes, my lord."

So, everyone formed a group in twos and dispersed to find out if there was a secret passage nearby.

But this mountain forest is so big, where can I find it?

Everyone can only be like headless flies, wandering around, swinging up when encountering a tree, and turning around when encountering a stone. .

Xie Jinbai and Xiao Zishu's cooperation is much tacit compared to the vacant and aimless search of all the yamen servants.

Xiao Zishu was in charge of holding the torch to open the way ahead, while Xie Jinbai carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Xie Jinbai came to a mountain wall.

Compared with the surrounding mountain walls, the weeds and branches of this mountain wall seem to be too dense.

"Gongming, bring the torch closer to this mountain wall."

On the side, Xiao Zishu held a torch and approached the mountain wall in front of him.

Xie Jinbai reached out and took away the complicated branches in front of the mountain wall——

A cave appeared in front of the two of them!

Xiao Zishu shone the torch into the cave, and a long and secret passage could be vaguely seen.

Xiao Zishu's eyes lit up, and a rare excited expression appeared on his usually expressionless face, "Master! It's a secret way!"

Xie Jin's face remained unchanged, but in his heart he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was right!

"I'll go in first, and after Huo Sheng and the others are all here, follow up."

Holding the torch, Xie Jinbai bent down and walked into the cave first.

Outside the cave, Xiao Zishu's right index finger and thumb formed a circle, and blew by his mouth.

"call out--"

The sharp whistle sounded in the silent mountain forest.

"Did someone discover the secret passage?"

"Is someone still in danger?"

"Stop guessing, let's hurry over and see what's going on."

The yamen servants heard the whistle, and rushed over looking for it.

"Guard Xiao, why are you the only one? Where is your lord?"

"Could it be that your lord did something wrong...this is...God! Guard Xiao, you and your lord have really found a secret way?!"

At this time, a yamen servant saw with his own eyes the secret passage in the cave in front of Xiao Zishu, which was partially covered by tree branches.

Only then did everyone discover the existence of the secret path.

The location of this cave is too hidden, and the surrounding area is covered by tree branches, so even in broad daylight, they will definitely not be able to find it.

"How did your lord discover such a secret secret passage?"

"That's right. If it's up to us, we may not be able to discover this secret passage even if we find dawn."

Xiao Zi spoke out comfortably, interrupting everyone's discussion, "Master has already gone in first, everyone follow me."

"it is good."

"it is good."

The yamen servants stopped discussing, one by one holding torches, they got into the cave one after another.

Although the entrance of the cave is so narrow that only one person can pass through it, there is a cavernous cave inside.

Not to mention the long secret passage, it is quite wide. Even with so many of them, they don't feel crowded. On both sides of the mountain wall, there are faint mountains and rivers, and the rocks are smooth. It can be seen that this secret passage has been formed for a certain period of time.

I don't know how long I walked, but the dark passage got wider and wider, and there were six, seven, or eight forks in the road.

"Why are there so many forks all of a sudden?"

"Yes! There are so many forked roads? How do we know which secret road your lord is taking!"

Xiao Zishu didn't say a word.

He took a torch from the hand of the yamen servant on the side, and walked to the intersection of each forked road in turn, carefully illuminating the road surface and mountain wall of each forked road.

In the end, Xiao Zishu stopped at a fork in the road, and said in a firm tone, "Master took this road."

It turned out that on one of the forked roads, Xie Jinbai used stones from the ground to leave a forked mark on the mountain wall of the forked road.

After all, Xiao Zishu walked in first.

Huo Sheng and the others followed behind, and said in a low voice in the local dialect of Fufeng County, "Fuck... I think my yamen is for nothing."

"That's not true. I've been like an idiot since I entered this mountain forest, and my brain hasn't worked."

"Don't say it. Once you say it, I feel that you are referring to Sang Huai and scolding me."

"Go, stay and go! Who cares to scold you!"

Seeing that Xiao Zishu was walking far ahead, the torch could not be seen from the corner of the eye, Huo Sheng and the others didn't say much, and quickened their pace.

After entering the fork, the secret passage gradually narrowed, and only one person was left to pass.

Everyone had to line up and walk one after another.

There was only one road ahead, so Xiao Zishu no longer had to worry about the servants getting lost. He no longer deliberately followed the footsteps of the servants to catch up with his master Xie Jinbai as quickly as possible.

Xiao Zishu didn't know how long he had been walking in this secret passage, but he felt that the secret passage was getting narrower and narrower, but he could faintly hear the wind coming in.

This means they are not far from exiting.

Could it be that the master has already taken a step ahead and came out of the secret passage?

Xiao Zishu quickened his pace.

The wind was getting louder and louder, and one could feel that the temperature was much colder than in the secret passage.

Export is imminent.

Not knowing what was outside, whether there was any danger, or even whether the master was outside, Xiao Zishu slowed down and became cautious.

The closer he got to the exit, the lighter his steps became.

It was pitch black.

It seemed to be a secluded place outside, without any lights.

With one hand on the long sword at his waist, Xiao Zishu cautiously stepped out of the cave.

Suddenly, a sharp palm wind came through the air.

Xiao Zishu turned his head sideways, and was about to draw his sword to fight back, when he faintly smelled the familiar fragrance of aloe wood, he stopped, "Master?"

"Yes, alert enough."

Xiao Zishu was speechless.

If he didn't recognize the person just now, and just slashed at him with his sword, it would be no joke.

However, he has not fought against his master for a long time, maybe he hasn't seen him practice martial arts for a long time, so he doesn't know how his master is now.

"Master, here is..."

Xiao Zishu was free at this time, held up the torch, looked around, and was surprised to find that they had returned to the city again!

The lights on the river were shining brightly, and several cargo ships and sporadic fishing boats were parked on it.

Xiao Zishu once accompanied Xie Jinbai to inspect the entire Fufeng County, and he immediately recognized the only inland wharf in Fufeng County, and the only waterway out of the city in Fufeng County.

Through this waterway, you can leave the city through the west gate.

That secret way.

It actually leads to the city!

Xiao Zishu was puzzled.

This also means that someone can use the secret way magically to get out of the city without anyone noticing!

Xiao Zishu was puzzled, the young master ran out of the city by himself, since the thief had already kidnapped the young master, why did he do everything possible to send him back to the city?

Yes!

A sentry had already been set up at the foot of the mountain, and the thief knew that he couldn't take people down the mountain without knowing it, so he took this secret path!

But where should I find someone now? !

They didn't even know whether the thief had brought the young master into Fufeng County, or had already taken the young master elsewhere in a boat!

"I went to explore the road. There is a road here that leads directly to the pier. Apart from that, the surrounding is full of mud, and the man has no other way to go. He must have taken Tang'er on a certain ship here. Now The gates to the west of the city have long been closed—”

Xie Jinbai paused, and said in a deep voice, "Tang'er must be on a certain boat on the river."

"It's easy to handle! When Captain Huo and the others come out to hunt down criminals in the name of tolerance, the people will definitely cooperate with the investigation."

After Xiao Zishu finished speaking, Huo Sheng and the others walked out from the secret passage one after another.

"Where is this place?"

"Hey! This place looks familiar!"

"Wharf? This is not our Fufeng County pier! Don't tell me, we are back in the city!"

"Damn! That secret road leads directly to the wharf in Fufeng County?"

The crowd was clamoring, but fortunately there was still some distance from the pier, otherwise such a group of people suddenly appeared, and the common people might think it was bandits coming down from the mountain.

"Okay! Give me peace! My lord, is there anything we can do?"

Huo Sheng yelled, and everyone fell silent immediately.

Xie Jinbai told everyone what he had just said to Xiao Zishu.

Hearing that the young master must be on one of the boats on the river, everyone was immediately excited.

"My lord, don't worry, leave it to us!"

Inquiring and searching are things that yamen servants are good at.

"Ah."

Xie Jinbai nodded, and quickly assigned the staff.

Xie Jinbai made arrangements, except for sending people on board the boat in twos and twos to inquire, and left two officials standing at the pier. If the thieves were detected in advance and escaped in a boat, they would be able to spot them immediately and give everyone an early warning.

Soon, everyone came to the pier and acted separately.

Except for the two yamen servants who stayed on the shore, everyone boarded the boat to search.

"Gongming, in my name, go and borrow a small boat from the people, and recruit a young boatman who is skilled in rowing."

Xie Jinbai did not go on the boat to search like the others, but ordered Xiao Zishu to find him a small boat and recruit a young boatman.

Xiao Zishu didn't know what to say, but he still followed his advice.

It's the time of the child.

Hearing that the county magistrate wanted to borrow a boat, the common people all thought that something serious had happened, and naturally there was no disagreement.

Several fishermen volunteered and expressed their willingness to lend their own boats. In the end, Xiao Zishu recruited an honest-looking young boatman who was said to have been with his grandfather and father when he was young. boat.

"My lord, where are you going?"

The boatman was a cheerful, dark-skinned guy with a warm tone without being flattering.

Xiao Zishu was already sitting on the bed, Xie Jinbai boarded the boat, "I don't know if my little brother noticed the cargo ship parked in the middle of the river?"

"My name is Haozi! Sir, you can just call me Haozi!"

It's so embarrassing to hear that I'm not a little brother.

After Xie Jinbai sat down, Haozi rowed the oars, "You said that cargo ship! I remember it! It just stopped here tonight."

Xie Jinbai and Xiao Zishu looked at each other at the same time.

Xie Jinbai only found the cargo ship parked in the middle of the river after he got out of the secret path and jumped up to the high ground lightly.

The appearance of the cargo ship is no different from the ones moored on the shore. There are also a few cargo ships scattered on the river. Perhaps because of the heavy tonnage and the shallowness of the river bank, they did not dock, but the cargo ship The distance from other cargo ships is obviously farther.

Out of an intuition, Xie Jinbai thought that there might be something wrong with that cargo ship.

"Haozi, you said, it stopped here tonight?"

Xie Jinbai followed the good advice and changed the name of Haozi.

Haozi saw that the county magistrate had really listened to his opinion, and instead of yelling his brother in a polite manner, he called his own name, the smile on his face widened a bit, and he replied However, the oar in his hand swung fast, without affecting the speed at all.

But in the time it takes to speak, the boat has already moved away from the shore.

"That's right. For those of us who live and eat at the pier all day long, we can easily notice that a new boat has arrived in this water area. My lord, you must think that we small boats, the boats on the river Cargo ships, they all have the same shape, right? But we are different, you can tell at a glance which ships belong to our waters and which ones are from outside."

Xie Jinbai continued to ask, "Did Haozi notice when that cargo ship appeared in the middle of the river?"

Haozi replied while rowing, "When? I really didn't pay attention to this... I just remember today, I woke up in the morning, squatted on the bow of the boat to scoop water to wash, and heard other people say that our waters suddenly A cargo ship came. Eh... so it seems that this ship has been parked on the river for a day. It doesn't mean to load or unload. It may be going out of the city, but it's just passing by our place. Dock, so let’s take a rest. My lord, but what’s wrong with that boat... not good! Someone fell into the water!”

Xie Jinbai and Xiao Zishu only heard a "plop" not far away, and the boatman took off his outer robe and plunged into the water.

At the same time, "Shhhhhhhh!"

Silver fireworks bloomed in the air.

The patterns like fireworks disappear instantly in the night.

"Master, this is the contact signal of our Taifu's residence. I don't know if it is the little prince..."

Xiao Zishu looked up at the signal from the sky, and suddenly felt the boat lighten.

Xiao Zishu hurriedly turned his head, but Xie Jinbai, who was sitting with him on the bow of the boat just now, had left his seat at some point.

Xie Jinbai performed lightness kung fu, his feet flew across the river like a dragonfly tapping on the water.

On the small boat, Xiao Zishu could clearly see the flashes of torches on the deck of the cargo ship.

Xiao Zishu was worried, but the boatman went into the water to save people, he had to stay and watch the boat, otherwise the boat would drift away with the current, and the boatman rescued people, if he was exhausted and couldn't get on the boat in time, two lives would be lost. things.

Xie Jinbai boarded the boat, and the deck was brightly lit.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps on the deck.

Xie Jinbai quickly hid his body, and a young figure ran past him.

Behind the boy, more than a dozen men in black wearing black robes, black hats, and fierce masks on their faces followed closely behind.

Sure enough, there was a problem with this cargo ship!

Lin Zi was cornered, his back pressed tightly against the edge of the boat, "You, don't come over here. If you come over again, I will, I will jump off the boat!"

Lin Zi turned his head and looked at the dark water, his legs trembling involuntarily.

Those men in black could see the cowardice in his eyes, and a mocking look appeared in his cold eyes.

Almost without any effort, Lin Zi was grabbed by the arm by one of the men in black.

Lin Zi struggled violently, "Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!"

The leading man in black ordered, "Leave the boat immediately."

It's too late.

The signal that Tang Xiaotang shot into the sky just now has attracted the attention of Huo Sheng and the others.

Several small boats came to the cargo ship on the water.

"Messenger, there is a boat coming towards us, what should we do?"

"Go ahead with the notice and move forward at full speed."

"Yes."

The board in Linzi's hand was forcibly taken away, his hands and feet were tied up again, and he was taken down.

This time, Lin Zi was alone in a dank, dark cargo hold.

Lin Zi was terrified.

The cabin door was opened silently, and the moonlight outside leaked in.

Lin Zi subconsciously wanted to scream, but the Ya acupuncture point was tapped by the visitor.

"Don't shout, I came on board to look for someone, and I have no ill intentions towards you. Let me ask you, have you seen a young man wearing a green shirt today, with dark eyes and bright teeth, who stutters a bit, who is about the same age as you? If you know, nod your head."

Lin Zi nodded desperately.

"I'll untie the dumb acupoint on your body now, don't call anyone."

Lin Zi nodded again like a chicken pecking at rice.

Only now did Xie Jinbai solve the dumb acupoint on Lin Zi's body. You, the person you are looking for, is the surname Xie, with a single name of Tang? "

Xie Jinbai: "..."

Tang'er was a little wary of not using her real name.

"My surname is Xie. Tanger is my family member. Where is he now?"

"I, I don't know either. He said that if the two of us ran together, we would easily be caught back together. So, he and I were asked to run away from both sides of the boat. He also said that if we were found, we would jump into the water and escape. One of them tried to untie the boat on the cargo ship and rescue the one who jumped into the water. I, I don’t know that he was also caught, and still, he jumped, jumped into the water..."

Xie Jinbai suddenly remembered the sound of falling into the water he heard on the boat.

"Stay here and don't move. I know someone is coming to save you."

After finishing speaking, he slightly closed the hatch and left quickly.

"Who is on board? We are ordered by the leader of Fufeng County to stop the boat immediately!"

"Who is on board? We are ordered by the leader of Fufeng County to stop the boat immediately!"

Huo Sheng and the others chased after the cargo ship in a small boat.

The people on the other cargo ships listening on the river heard the slogans Huo Sheng and the others shouted.

Xie Jinbai is very prestigious in Fufeng County now.

Hearing that the county magistrate wanted to arrest people, several cargo ships on the river also woke up the boatmen, and sailed to stop the cargo ship that was trying to escape.

For a while, the silent river was very lively.

Xie Jinbai performed lightness kung fu and returned to the boat they were on just now.

Xiao Zishu was still the only one on board.

Xiao Zishu was slightly surprised when he saw Xie Jinbai who had gone and returned.

Before he could ask clearly, Xie Jinbai asked, "The boatman hasn't come back yet?"

Xie Jinbai's eyes darkened.

"Well, master, but what happened?"

Sensitively sensing that Xie Jinbai's expression was wrong, Xiao Zishu asked tentatively.

Suddenly, the ship shook.

The figure of the boatman emerged from the water.

Only the boatman!

Without saying a word, Xie Jinbai began to take off his outer shirt and the shirt he was wearing inside.

If Xiao Zishu didn't see what Xie Jinbai wanted to do, then he would have been by Xie Jinbai's side for many years in vain.

He was stunned, "Master, what are you doing? You can't swim!"

"The person who just dived into the water is Tang'er."

Xiao Zishu was taken aback.

The sound of falling into the water just now... is it the young master?

Xie Jinbai looked calm.

But Xiao Zishu could clearly see that his master was crazy!

If you can't swim, what's the difference between going down to save someone and courting death? !

"No, I can't let you go!"

While the master and servant were arguing, another head came out of the water with a "squeak".

"Wow! This, this water is so, so fucking ice, freezing! It's freezing, freezing, freezing to death! I knew it earlier, I wouldn't dive in it. It's too cold, it's too cold..."

Tang Xiaotang cursed.

Haozi swam ahead of him, "Persevere, my boat will be ahead."

"Ah."

Tang Xiaotang responded.

The river is not only ice, but also very dark around.

Fortunately, I met this little brother named Haozi, otherwise he could only hug the wood and float in the water, it's fate.

"My lord, please grab this little brother."

When he was about to approach the boat, Haozi gave Tang Xiaotang a hand and let him board the boat first.

grown ups?

Tang Xiaotang grabbed the boat's plank with one hand, wiped his face, and raised his face subconsciously.

Before he could see the other person's face clearly, someone grabbed his arm and got out of the water. A pair of arms were tightly wrapped around his waist, and his lips were kissed fiercely.

The author has something to say: Haozi:! ! !

Xiao Zishu: ...a small scene.

Wow!

Just realized it's the last day of the month!

Begging for a wave of nutrient solution.
