The Four Artifacts: Qinglong Sword

All the sergeants were confused and looked at each other. A sergeant bravely stepped forward and asked, "My lord, since we have chased so far, why do we have to turn back?"

Liu Chaozhong said with a smile: "This is called soldiers never tire of deceit! Since they want us to take this road, then we follow their wish, but what they didn't expect is that we left and came back."

The sergeant was still puzzled, and continued to ask: "My lord, do you mean that they didn't take this road?"

Liu Chaozhong nodded and said: "That's right, although there are two ruts on this road, it seems that they are driving a carriage along this road, but this is just a blindfold, what they want is to induce us to chase along this road. go down."

The sergeant scratched his head and said, "Doesn't the ruts mean that they drove the carriage this way?"

Liu Chaozhong smiled and said: "The carriage did go this way, but there are no thunderbolts on the carriage."

The sergeant asked: "This...how do you know this?"

Liu Chaozhong waved his hands and said: "Now is not the time to talk about these things, follow me back quickly, they will be caught off guard!" After speaking, he rode his horse and raised his whip, and led his soldiers to rush back along the original road.

After a short time, everyone came to the fork in the road again. When they looked up, they saw a group of people galloping with a carriage on the small road in the south.

Seeing this, Liu Chaozhong yelled: "Boldly rebelling against the party, where are you running?!" He took off the purple and gold double hammers on the saddle, and rushed over immediately.

The group in front were Wang Jin and others. They knew that the speed of the carriage was too slow and they would be overtaken by the pursuers sooner or later. Therefore, when they found this fork in the road, Wang Jin rolled his eyes and came up with a plan to attack east and west.He first asked his men to remove the thunderbolts from a carriage, and then ordered the empty carriage to gallop along the southeast road, leaving ruts on the road to confuse the pursuers.

However, what Wang Jin didn't expect was that Liu Chaozhong could tell at a glance that the depth of the two ruts was wrong. After careful observation, he found that there were signs of sand and soil turning on the small road to the south. It was obvious that someone wanted to cover up the traces left behind.In addition, some of the weeds on the side of the road were also crushed to this side, obviously as if they had been stepped on or crushed by heavy objects.

Seeing this, Liu Chaozhong fully understood, and thought to himself: "I was slapped by that old monk, and now my left arm is still aching, and the fat man in front of me is also a Tai Chi expert. We can defeat him with certainty. Now that more than half of our brothers are dead or injured, even if we snatch these boxes of thunderbolts, we will probably have to pay a heavy price. From this point of view, dealing with this group of people cannot be robbed, only outsmarted."

Thinking of this, with a thought, he simply came up with a strategy, waved his big hand and led all the soldiers, and went straight to the southeast road to chase.

When Wang Jin saw it, he was secretly happy. Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, he hurriedly called his men to push the carriage out of the weeds. The broken carriage ran wildly south.

Seeing this, Wang Jin's subordinates also hurriedly got on their horses one after another, and followed closely behind.However, the path due to the south was already narrow, and Wang Jin and others scrambled to escape to the south. The result was that haste makes waste. A group of people chased each other for a long time, but they only ran two or three miles away.

When Liu Chaozhong brought people to kill him, Wang Jin's subordinates immediately panicked and fled in all directions like birds and beasts. No matter how much Wang Jin shouted, it was useless.

Seeing that his subordinates were running and escaping, Wang Jin saw that the situation was over, so he didn't care so much anymore. He kicked his legs, jumped up from the cart, and jumped directly onto the horse's back. Then he used his hands hard, "Kaba" With a sound, the shaft of the carriage was broken, and at the same time, he kicked the horse's belly hard.The horse suffered from pain, and suddenly felt a lot lighter on its back, so it let out a long hissing sound, exerted strength on all four hooves, and galloped away, carrying Wang Jin all the way.

Seeing this, Liu Chaozhong didn't chase after him. Originally, the purpose of this trip was not to arrest Wang Jin, but to snatch the thunderbolt in his hand. Now that the purpose has been achieved, running away with Wang Jin will not hurt the overall situation.So he commanded the sergeant to drive away the remaining minions, and then came to the carriage.

Looking at the carriage thrown by Wang Jin, Liu Chaozhong was in trouble.When Wang Jin left, he not only took the horses driving the cart with him, but what was even worse was that he broke the shafts that tied the horses.As a result, the carriage in front of him became a waste car that could not be pulled by a horse. There were six boxes of thunderbolts in the car, each weighing hundreds of catties. Liu Chaozhong looked at the dozen or so people he had brought with him. He could only stare blankly at the six iron-wood boxes.

The sergeants also noticed this, and one of them stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Master...my lord, these...these boxes are really too heavy. Brothers tried it, but they really can't move it."

Liu Chaozhong glared at him, and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, don't I know? Are you talking too much here?!"

The sergeant was taken aback, quickly shut up and stepped aside, thinking to himself: "I often hear people say that Mr. Liu is humble and gentle, but seeing him today is nothing more than that. It seems that there are no good people in this guard camp from top to bottom. They are people who flatter their superiors and bully their subordinates. When I have a chance, I must tell my uncle to ask him to find a way to transfer me away from here. Sigh... However, looking at the Jinling officialdom, apart from the Guards, there are really I don’t know where else I can go? Now the world’s yamen are generally dark, if you can’t do it, just hang around here, anyway, it’s the same everywhere.”

Liu Chaozhong frowned, raised his head and looked around, and what caught his eyes was the endless loess besides the wild grass all over the mountains.There is no village in front of this place, no shop in the back, and there is not even a house nearby, so there is no helper at all.If they sent people back to the city to call for reinforcements, it would take at least an hour to go back and forth, and it would be inevitable that there would be long nights and dreams, and troubles would arise again.This...how can this be done? "

While hesitating, a sergeant suddenly yelled, "Hey, what are you doing?!"

Liu Chaozhong followed the sound, and saw a swordsman jumping up from the ground and rushing towards the box containing thunderbolts.Liu Chaozhong was standing in front of the box at this time, with a light wave of his right hand, the sledgehammer hit the swordsman's waist.

The swordsman snorted and collapsed in front of the carriage, but he still threw something in his hand before he fell to the ground.

Liu Chaozhong only felt a red light flash in front of his eyes, and then he smelled the smell of fireworks. Suddenly, his mind went blank, and an inexplicable fear quickly surged into his heart...

At this time, I suddenly heard the sergeants shouting in unison: "Burn... Molotov cocktails!"
