66　　Zhang Liye said: "Everyone, this matter is very strange. Based on my understanding of Ni Manzi, he should not rush into this gray fog without choosing a way out. Even if he is waiting to be discovered by us, he should rush up and desperately take the two people with him!"

　　"Instead of entering this gray fog."

　　After hearing this, Ghost Hand Gu Qingfeng said, "Is it possible that he didn't go deep? If he is just wandering around the periphery, he is not too dangerous with his strength."

　　"No, no, don't forget, he has serious injuries on his body. Even the blood-seeking bees can smell the blood. What's more, the monsters in the gray fog will pounce on him even if he hovers on the periphery. He is not safe even on the periphery!"

　　"He would know this."

　　Peng Shizhong also expressed his views.

　　At this time, the officer from Huangzhou Prefecture spoke up, "So, this guy might have lured us here on purpose? He made us think he had entered the gray fog?"

　　Zhang Liye nodded and said, "That's probably the case. This guy should be hiding in the back mountain."

　　After hearing this, Huangzhou Prefecture's official said coldly: "Catch this guy for me at all costs!"

　　"Master Gu, Master Peng!"

　　The officer looked at the two local leaders and said, "Go and inform all the disciples of the Fishing Gang and the Cao Gang in Xiantao Town immediately to search the mountain overnight. No mistakes!"

　　"yes."

　　Looking at the murderous imperial guard from Huangzhou Prefecture.

　　The two hall masters looked at each other and agreed, then they went down the mountain together. Zhang Liye accompanied the official to search the surroundings.

　　As the two of them descended the mountain, Gu Qingfeng said, "Old Peng, what's wrong with this officer? He insisted on searching the mountain overnight. There are so many rebels in this world, but I've never seen anyone so dedicated."

　　Peng Shizhong said, "Isn't this normal? Ding Shun, the officer who was in charge of Fan Jiangchun, died at the hands of Ni Manzi. He couldn't catch Ni Manzi and return home without reporting back."

　　Gu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't think it's that simple. I felt something was wrong when they first arrived. It seemed like they were looking for something. They could have blocked Ni Wenjun at his home, but they insisted on seeing where he went."

　　"Old Peng, do you think it was Ni Manzi who stole some treasure from the Huangzhou government office?"

　　"This time they came here to pretend to capture Ni Manzi. In fact, they wanted to snatch the treasure from Ni Manzi."

　　"I can't?"

　　Peng Shizhong narrowed his eyes, but his expression was relaxed and he was obviously a little moved.

　　Gu Qingfeng said, "Anyway, I think their purpose this time is not pure. And do you remember that when they ambushed Ni Manzi, the two superiors repeatedly emphasized that if they could capture him alive, they must capture him alive. If it was just a traitor, would his life or death be so important?"

　　Peng Shizhong thought for a moment and said, "Old Gu, you are right. They have emphasized more than once that they must capture him alive. It is obvious that they want to extract a confession!"

　　"Ni Wenjun's killing of officials and rebellion was a spur-of-the-moment decision, so he couldn't have an accomplice. So the significance of capturing him alive must be to track down the whereabouts of something. What on earth could it be that could make the superiors of Huangzhou Prefecture so concerned?"

　　"I don't know, but it's definitely not an ordinary thing. The value of this thing is even more important than the life of a county magistrate!"

　　The two discussed and then went down the mountain!

Chapter 79 Ni Wenjun, are you still a flower thief?

　　"Husband, you're back!"

　　At daybreak, Chen Jie returned home. Su Yunjin, who had not slept the whole night, got up and looked at Chen Jie.

　　"Are you feeling better? Does it still hurt?"

　　Chen Jie asked.

　　"It's a little better, but it still hurts a little bit!"

　　The woman replied.

　　Chen Jie hugged her, patted her shoulders gently and said, "Well, it will hurt for the first time, but it will be more comfortable later..."

　　The woman's face instantly turned red.

　　"Come on, get some more sleep."

　　As Chen explained this, he fell asleep holding Su Yunjin in his arms.

　　This time he didn't move.

　　About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of Chen Jie's house. Chen Jie had not gone to bed yet, and Su Yunjin was still half asleep.

　　Chen Jie stood up and Su Yunjin looked at him.

　　Chen Jie said: "It's okay, I'll go take a look."

　　When he opened the door, a brother from the fishing gang stood at the door: "Jiu Si, brothers, pack up and gather up the mountain!"

　　"Go up the mountain?"

　　Chen Jie didn't understand what was going on, but the brothers from the fishing gang said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes. You'll know when you get there. This time it's the order from the hall master himself!"

　　"Okay, I'll go right away."

　　Chen Jie's heart skipped a beat. It looked like they were preparing to search the mountain.

　　Fortunately, I moved ahead.

　　Thinking of this, Chen Jie went back to the house, put on a thick coat, told Su Yunjin that there was no need to wait for him for breakfast, and went out with the disciples of the Fishing Gang.

　　The group rushed out the door in a hurry.

　　Soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain and found many people standing there, led by Wu Zhong.

　　However, Wu Zhong looked a little solemn at this time.

　　Chen Jie walked over and said, "Uncle Zhong!"

　　Wu Zhong turned around and looked at Chen Jie: "Oh, 94."

　　"Uncle Zhong, what's going on? Why is there so much noise?"

　　Wu Zhong said: "Catch Ni Manzi."

　　Seeing that he was in a bad mood today, Chen Jie asked curiously, "Uncle Zhong, what's wrong with you?"

　　Wu Zhong said with a slightly serious expression: "Hong'er is injured."

　　"ah!"

　　Chen Jie was shocked to hear this.

　　"Who did it?"

　　After saying this, Chen Jie regretted it. Who else could have done it? It must have been his brother Ni.

　　At the beginning, Wu Hong followed Zhang Liye and others to capture Ni Manzi. He must have been affected when Brother Ni broke out.

　　"It's not serious, is it?"

　　Wu Zhong was silent.

　　"He is not in danger of death. In fact, we should thank Ni Manzi. When he saw Hong'er, he said he owed Doctor Bai a favor and didn't want to take his life. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so seriously injured now."

　　Wu Zhong said.

　　Chen Jie didn't know who to help for a moment. These two families had been kind to him. It would be bad to help either one or not!

　　"Uncle Zhong, is there anything I can help with?"

　　Wu Zhong said: "It's okay, I don't need it at the moment. If I need it, I will find you."

　　…

　　As the two were talking, Peng Shizhong came over and said to the disciples of the Fishermen's Gang below: "Brothers, be careful when you go up the mountain. Ni Manzi is a desperate criminal. If you see him, send a signal immediately and we will come right over."

　　"yes."

　　Everyone responded, followed by Peng Shizhong, "Light the torches!"

　　A torch is made of a one-meter-long wooden stick with hemp rope, straw or other flammable materials tied to the head. It is then rolled in kerosene, taken out and lit, and can provide lighting for a long time.

　　Soon a long dragon of torches lit up in the forest.

　　At the same time, on the other hand, Yu Biao of the Cao Gang also took Yu Sanliu and others to the mountain with torches to search, with the Fishing Gang on the left and the Cao Gang on the right.

　　Both sides lit torches and went up the mountain.

　　Begin a careful search.

　　The fishing gang here adopts the model of three people in a team, with Chen Jie, Wu Chuantou, and Xiaohu as the first team.

　　We started searching along the mountain path and along the Wild Wolf Valley.

　　Chen Jie searched very seriously and found no loopholes. After all, he knew that Ni Wenjun was not on the mountain at all.

　　So he started searching.

　　After searching for two hours, they found nothing. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the gang, because it was heard that due to the unsuccessful search, four masters of Hua Jin decided to take the risk and explore the situation within the gray fog.

　　The fishing gang and the shipping gang need to send a few elites to follow, and the person in charge will lead the team personally.

　　The ones who came forward from the fishing gang were Wu Zhong, the captain and the second captain.

　　Those who went in from the Cao Gang did not include Yu Sanliu, but Yu Biao also followed them into the gray fog!

　　Seeing that all the leaders had left, the disciples of the Cao Gang and the Yu Gang looked at each other. Yu Sanliu saw Chen Jie, a smile appeared on his face, and he slowly walked over.

　　Seeing him coming, the disciples of the Fishing Gang became alert.

　　Yu Sanliu stopped in front of Chen Jie. The surrounding disciples of the Fishermen's Gang were on edge, but Chen Jie looked at him calmly.

　　The two looked at each other for a long time, and Yu Sanliu smiled and said, "Jiu Si, we meet again!"

　　Chen Jie: "Yes, Mr. Yu."

　　Yu Sanliu smiled and said, "You haven't forgotten what happened last time, right?"

　　"The one about Young Master Yu bowing and apologizing?"

　　Yu Sanliu laughed even more happily, and suddenly leaned close to Chen Jie's ear and said, "Boy, I won't suffer this loss in vain. I will definitely let you watch me play with your wife with your own eyes, not with a group of people..."

　　Chen Jie looked up at him.

　　There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and he also leaned over and said: "Master Yu, I'm afraid that you have a life to think about it, but no life to play..."

　　Yu Sanliu looked at Chen Jie with a little surprise. He didn't expect that Chen Jie would dare to shout harsh words at him.
