Chapter 677 Using people as bait
August is getting closer and closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On this day, Murong Daoye reported that there were remnants of the previous dynasty in Yanzhou and requested an order to leave the capital.
It's only been three days.
An urgent military situation came from Nanxia. The Suzaku Guards near the Xia River discovered that the Northern Expeditionary Army was moving. They mobilized ships and seemed to have the potential to cross the river. Their troops were directed at Yaozhou!
The Southern Xia and Northern Expeditions are of great importance.
The little emperor did not dare to be careless, and quickly issued an order for Taiwei Yu Wenmao to go to Xiajiang to defend the enemy in person.
In the capital, some people with keen sense of smell have noticed something unusual.
The vast majority of people, including the young emperor, were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of all nations coming to court, foreign barbarians paying tribute, and going to the capital together.
Watching the auspicious reports from various places every day, the little emperor Longyan was delighted.
He only waited for the diplomatic missions from various countries to enter Beijing during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He planned to entertain the foreign business missions in an extremely luxurious way, so that the countries could see the wealth and power of Daqian and the flower-filled capital of Daqian.
Let those small countries and barbarians see what a prosperous era of great power is!
Yuan Qingmo scolded him for being stupid and unprincipled, causing harm to the country and the people, and that Da Qian would be ruined in his hands.
He also wanted Yuan Qingmo to see how wise and talented he was, and how promising he was at a young age.
Even if my father was alive at that time, he would never have experienced such a grand occasion.
——
Qingzhou, Panlong Ridge.
According to legend, there has been a big insect infested here recently. It is white as snow, extremely mysterious, and its whereabouts are secretive. Officers and soldiers from nearby counties went into the mountain to search and explore, but they never returned.
On this day, hundreds of refugees came here, all of them were sallow and thin, and their clothes were in rags.
Only the young man at the head looked relatively strong. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a burly build, a tiger-like head, and piercing eyes.
The strong young man looked back and saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance. Officers and soldiers had arrived with great momentum, and there was really nowhere else to go.
"Into the mountains!"
The strong young man said hello and led many refugees into Panlong Ridge.
"Brother Hong!"
An old man stopped the strong young man and said with a sad look on his face: "These officers and soldiers surrounded us without killing us and drove us here. I'm afraid they have another purpose."
"I heard that there is a big insect that has appeared in Panlong Ridge recently. It is extremely ferocious and likes to eat people. Even if we people enter the mountain, I am afraid that we will eventually fall into the tiger's mouth and die."
"Grandpa, it's okay!"
A seven or eight-year-old boy next to the old man looked at the strong young man with eyes full of admiration and trust, and said: "Brother Hong is extremely powerful and has the word 'capture the tiger' in his name. He will definitely be able to subdue that fierce tiger!"
The old man smiled bitterly and said nothing.
It is said that after the nearby officers and soldiers entered the mountain, they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
No matter how powerful this little brother Hong is, he is not as powerful as those officers and soldiers, otherwise he would not have led them into hiding.
This strong young man is Hong Qinhu of Longyin Village.
Back then, he was saved by a mysterious swordsman who was passing by. He left Longyin Village and avoided being swallowed by the dragon. He also learned the "Fuhu Fist".
Several years have passed, and now he has reached the eighth-level bone-changing realm.
Grandpa died the second year after escaping from Longyin Village.
Hong Qinhu wandered around Qingzhou and survived the first year. After entering the rank, he gained an extra level of ability to protect himself.
In the past two years, taxes in Daqian have become heavier and heavier, and corvées have become more frequent.
Even if people from all over the country hand over all the grain, it will not be enough to pay taxes. If there is a natural disaster, it will be even worse.
In desperation, people in various places could only abandon their fields and leave, causing refugees to spread everywhere and the fields to become deserted.
Officials from all over the country concealed it and did not report it. Instead, they went around to hunt down the refugees and make meritorious deeds.
Some time ago, Hong Qinhu rescued these refugees from the hands of some officers and soldiers and fled all the way here.
"Uncle Liang, after all, there is still a chance of survival in the mountains."
Hong Qinhu said: "In addition to the tiger, there should be some other game in the mountains. If we can catch some prey and share them, everyone can eat some, and everyone can hold on for a while."
"The officers and soldiers behind are well-equipped and have strong bows and crossbows. This time, the governor of Longpan County also invited Master Xuan from Xuantian Temple to the scene. If we turn back, we have no chance."
"Yeah, yeah."
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the young man next to him, and he said: "Those mysterious masters are all good at magic. When I saw a ray of white light passing by, more than a dozen heads fell to the ground. It was so powerful."
"Alas."
Uncle Liang sighed: "Brother Hong, in fact, with your ability, you can escape by yourself. It's us who have caused you trouble."
Hong Qinhu was silent for a moment, looked at the people following him, and then said: "Now that we have encountered someone, we can't just ignore it. Back then, my master also rescued me from the sea of misery."
"Roar!"
At this moment, a tiger roar suddenly sounded in Panlong Ridge, resounding through the mountains and forests!
Hong Qinhu and everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Many people had been hungry for several days, hungry, and had no strength. When they heard this roar, their legs weakened with fear, and they collapsed on the ground with a look of despair.
There are fierce tigers in front and pursuers behind. It is really like a person has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth
At the foot of Panlong Mountain.
Three thousand soldiers and horses from Longpan County gathered here, flags fluttering.
In addition to Longpan County Governor Chai Si, County Lieutenant Ma Baishan, and several Xuan Masters.
Hearing the roar of the tiger in Panlong Ridge, everyone's eyes lit up and their faces showed joy.
"Congratulations, Mr. Chai."
The leading Xuan Master was smiling.
"Same joy, same joy."
Chai Si smiled slightly and said: "This big white insect is very rare and full of treasures. At that time, we will go to Qingzhou Villa to celebrate Zhang Qushuai's birthday and present this big white insect, and his face will be shining."
"Yeah."
Master Ji Yangxuan nodded and said: "Zhang Qushuai is the only one of the eight great Qushuai in Qingzhou. Let's come to celebrate your birthday. The gift must not be shabby. This big insect is the best."
Chai Si added: "However, this beast is extremely ferocious and has killed many of my men. Immortal Ji Yang must be careful."
"Hmph!" Master Ji Yang sneered slightly and said: "No matter how ferocious it is, it is just a beast. How can it resist my flying sword with its body of flesh and blood!"
"Not bad, not bad!"
Chai Si quickly smiled and complimented: "The immortal soldiers can kill this beast with ease."
Everyone stared in the direction of the mountain forest, looking for traces of the big white insect.
Master Ji Yangxuan suddenly asked: "Master Chai, how did you know that this beast would appear?"
"Haha."
Chai Si chuckled lightly and said: "This big insect has eaten a lot of people, so it must have liked the taste of human flesh. If you want to lure it out, the best way is to use living people as bait."
"If we happen to meet this group of refugees, we might as well make use of them and drive them into Panlong Ridge."
"The refugees were eaten by the big insect, so we don't need to take action. Let's kill the big insect. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone."
The captain next to him, Ma Baishan, echoed: "Your Excellency is wise."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At this moment, Mabaishan's expression changed, he pointed in the direction of the mountain, and suddenly said: "Look, sir, it's over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction of Mabai Mountain's finger and saw a white figure looming in the forest, rushing towards the group of refugees at an extremely fast speed.
"Haha!"
Chai Si laughed loudly and said: "When this beast has eaten enough, it will depend on your methods."
In the mountains and forests.
Everyone was frightened when they heard the roar of the tiger. When they were panicking, they saw the trees on the mountain swaying and getting closer and closer. The beast had arrived quickly.
A strong sense of fear lingered in everyone's minds.
Even Hong Qinhu couldn't help but swallow his saliva and looked solemn.
Along with a gust of fishy wind, a white tiger has rushed in front of everyone!
This white tiger is larger than ordinary tigers. It exudes an extremely terrifying aura. It roars from deep in its throat. The tiger's eyes flash with a fierce cold light, which makes people's scalp numb!
The timid person was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.
Some children were so frightened that they cried loudly.
Some people's buttocks are trembling, some are shivering, and some are excreting and urinating.
"Come on!"
Hong Qinhu stood in front of everyone, put on the display of "Fuhu Fist", opened his eyes wide, and roared. He looked brave and fearless, but in fact he was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
This white tiger was obviously much more powerful than the beasts he had ever encountered!
However, this white tiger stood in front of everyone, but did not pounce on people immediately.
Bai Hu just looked at Hong Qinhu's boxing stance with great interest.
Hong Qinhu was frightened, but he still did not dare to retreat.
According to the experience of the hunters in the village, when facing this kind of ferocious beast, you must stare closely into the opponent's eyes, preferably yell, and never expose your back, let alone show your cowardice.
Otherwise, the beast opposite would sense his fear and cowardice and would definitely find an opportunity to pounce on him.
"Come here!"
Hong Qinhu yelled again, and performed a Hungry Tiger move down the mountain on the spot, followed by another Hungry Tiger move to pounce on food, gesticulating with great momentum.
White Tiger suddenly rushed in front of Hong Qinhu.
hiss!
Hong Qinhu took a breath of air.
This big bug moves too fast!
He just felt that his eyes were blurred, and the white tiger had already arrived!
Hong Qinhu subconsciously hit him with the 'Black Tiger Heart Strike'.
This punch was completely an instinctive reaction.
In the past few years, he has practiced "Fuhu Fist" every day. This boxing technique has long been integrated into every inch of his flesh and blood.
The white tiger suddenly jumped sideways and stepped aside.
Hong Qinhu missed his punch and was stunned on the spot.
Before he could react, the white tiger jumped sideways and jumped back in front of him, looking down at him with tiger eyes.
One person and one beast, big eyes staring at small eyes.
Hong Qinhu even had a slight illusion.
There seemed to be a trace of amusement in the white tiger's eyes.
Such human emotions should not appear in such a beast.
It must be an illusion!
Hong Qinhu didn't have time to think too much, he climbed up the mountain with a fierce tiger move, jumped up, and hit the white tiger in the face.
The white tiger suddenly stood up, raised a pair of front paws, and slapped Hong Qinhu, making a climbing posture.
Just as Hong Qinhu jumped up, Bai Hu slapped him back.
Bang bang bang!
The white tiger stretched out its claws and slapped him on the back several times.
Hong Qinhu felt the pain and quickly stood up, leaped forward and dodged to the side.
"Huh?"
Immediately afterwards, Hong Qinhu's heart moved.
The white tiger didn't stretch out its claws just now, it just hit him with its flesh pads.
Moreover, the moves he used were almost the same as those of a tiger climbing a mountain, so similar!
etc!
The first leap of this white tiger should be the tiger leaping over the stream in "Fuhu Fist"!
Weird, weird, a white tiger actually knows "Fuhu Fist"?
Moreover, the white tiger seemed not to want to kill it, but was just playing with him.
