Chapter 559 Pursuit
Chapter 559 Pursuit
"Sir, this should be the place where weapons are made."
Niu Yongnian pointed to a place over there, where soldiers had already carried some people out.
These people were naturally the blacksmiths who were blinded by the gold and went up the mountain.
"Sir, please spare us! Sir, please spare us! We are the blacksmiths in the county, and we were tricked into coming here by them!"
They were all seriously poisoned. Although they felt weak all over, they still forced themselves to kneel down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Wait aside for now. After your identities are confirmed, we will let you go down the mountain."
Wei Yuanxiong just took a quick look and didn't go in.
When the blacksmiths heard this, they all cried and held their heads in their hands:
"Thank you, sir, great sir..."
Wei Yuanxiong said in a deep voice:
"I am here under the secret order of Your Majesty to suppress the rebels. Your Majesty is wise. It is a blessing for Great Xia and the people to have such a wise ruler. If you want to thank someone, thank Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so gracious."
When everyone heard this, they all knelt down and kowtowed towards the capital:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
"Blessing for the people!"
"Daxia Yongsheng!"
......
Cheers echoed through the sky.
Niu Yongnian suddenly felt a surge of passion and his eyes were immediately filled with tears.
Their Majesty is a wise ruler.
Then, Wei Yuanxiong brought his men to the warehouse. When they saw the weapons in the warehouse, they were all shocked beyond words.
How many bows and arrows do their garrison have?
This one warehouse alone has several times more weapons than their arsenal, enough to equip an army of tens of thousands of people.
As a general, no matter how many soldiers he has, there is no one who doesn't like these weapons.
They had so many bows and arrows, but they didn't use them to guard the city gates?
I don’t know how Junma did it?
I dare not imagine that if all these weapons were on the city wall just now, with so many bows and arrows, these 3,000 people would not be able to attack at all, and they might even die tragically under the rain of arrows and be wiped out.
This warehouse is next to the training ground, and there is a special passage at the back.
County horse, awesome!
Wei Yuanxiong didn't know what to say.
"Team Two is stationed here. No one is allowed to approach. Team One, go hunting and barbecue. Settle down first and wait for orders."
Wei Yuanxiong immediately made arrangements and looked at the sky. The sun had already set. He couldn't help but worry, wondering whether Junma had caught up with the man.
Before he could worry for a while, some soldiers dragged three people over.
Chen Wenjin, whose leg was broken, had regained consciousness and was screaming in pain.
"My legs... spare me... I was forced..."
When Chen Wenjin woke up, he realized that the situation was hopeless. The so-called master must have escaped. They were exposed, the army was approaching, and his leg was broken, so he could not escape.
He knew he was finished and didn't plan to struggle anymore.
I can only pretend to be a victim and cry, hoping to get away with it.
"Were you forced to do this?"
Wei Yuanxiong sneered. Looking at his gorgeous clothes, he looked nothing like those captured villagers.
Especially this look...
No, this person is...Chen Liu!
"Are you Chen Liu? Chen Wenjin, the son of the Minister of War, Chen Lord!!!"
Wei Yuanxiong recognized him.
Chen Liu's name is also well-known in the capital, although it is not a good reputation.
He also met the emperor twice when he went to Beijing to report on his work.
But at that time, Chen Liu was still a playboy, so how could he look down on local officials like him?
So Chen Wenjin looked at Wei Yuanxiong and didn't recognize him.
But looking at his attire, you can tell he is a general.
But how could he admit that he was Chen Liu?
Chen Wenjin is not stupid. He privately mined iron ore and maintained an army. How serious a crime is this?
If his identity were to be exposed, the entire Chen family would be finished.
"Sir, I am a villager who was captured by them. I am innocent. Please spare my life..."
He played dumb, but Wei Yuanxiong had seen through him. Even if he said he was a villager, he still had to verify it, but it was obviously not the right time.
"Keep him under guard first. Keep an eye on him. Don't let him die."
Wei Yuanxiong had him carried away.
He has a good memory and is certain that this person is Chen Liu.
I heard that Chen Liu made a mistake and was sent to the manor by the Chen family to cultivate his character. Now it’s good that he was sent here.
It seems that the Chen family is finished.
Fearing that he would be killed to silence him, Wei Yuanxiong sent six people to watch Chen Liu.
Then there were the other two people on the ground.
One was dragged out of the warehouse, tied up, with a piece of rag in his mouth. He was wearing black clothes and had an ordinary appearance.
Wei Yuanxiong didn't know him, but looking at his appearance, he knew that he was tied up by Junma and his men.
He was tied up without tying up anyone else. This man must be an expert. The prince was afraid that he would be difficult to deal with after waking up.
Look at the other one, he was wearing an elegant robe, he was in his forties or fifties, and he looked like a manager, but he had been stabbed in the chest and was dying.
"Look for these two as well. Make sure they stay under close watch. Make sure they stay alert today."
Wei Yuanxiong gave the order, and seeing that the man in the long gown was about to die, he immediately asked the military doctor to save his life.
These people in charge are all witnesses, so they have to be kept alive.
Then he went on to arrange other matters, which were quite orderly and he seemed to be a very capable general.
Shen Yuan finally caught up with Jiang Shun.
Jiang Shun was lying behind a big rock, holding a telescope and looking into the distance.
Shen Yuan also walked over. He was a little tired from chasing so anxiously. He took a breath first and then looked over with the telescope.
"They're there."
Jiang Shun pointed, not far from them.
I saw four people sitting by the stream to rest, they seemed to be exhausted, two of them were sitting on the ground, their chests heaving with exhaustion.
There was a man in gray brocade clothes lying on the ground, motionless.
Shen Yuan couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he vaguely felt that it should be his second uncle.
The four men fled with the second uncle on their backs. The mountain road here was rugged and difficult to walk on, not to mention that they were walking in an uninhabited area.
They walked and stopped, and were able to bring people here, which showed that the four people were also masters.
It seems that he is also a death warrior.
"Brother Yuan, shall we take action?"
Jiang Shun couldn't wait any longer.
He has followed all the way. If Brother Yuan hadn't come, he would have gone down to intercept him.
"go!"
Shen Yuan did not delay as it was getting dark.
The two of them walked past quietly from one side.
Perhaps the few people were really tired from running, and the two lookouts didn't notice them until they were almost there.
"There's someone, let's go!"
After the two men gave a warning, Shen Yuan and Jiang Shun each dealt with one, and they were instantly entangled in a fight.
Seeing this, the other two people, one of them carrying the person on his back and the other covering him, immediately ran to a higher place.
Shen Yuan discovered that the opponent's martial arts skills were quite good. He wanted to kill him with one strike, but the fight lasted for several rounds before he finally found a chance to knock the man unconscious.
He immediately chased after the other two.
The two people actually ran all the way to a cliff.
