Chapter 222 Road Blockage

He closed the kettle lid and frowned:

"I went through our operations in detail last night, and the possibility of the news leaking out is not high. Ma Liu has been under our noses the whole time. He has his own selfish motives, but he also has a weak spot. He won't leak the news so early. It will not do him any good."

"But our colleagues in Sichuan Province only had a small number of reconnaissance personnel involved in the early stage. There won't be a large number of colleagues until the arrest stage, so it shouldn't leak the news so early. I have asked Cheng Gang and his team to collect information along the way. For now, we just need to be careful."

Su Tong nodded. When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. There is always a solution to everything.

She looked back inadvertently and could still see in the distance the hill where they had rested yesterday.

Among all the hills, big and small, that hill is the highest and most eye-catching. No wonder the big mole was able to identify the direction when being chased last night.

Su Tong remembered something and said to Qin Yi:

"Brother Yi, look at the map. Is there a small triangle mark where this hill is located?"

Qin Yi also looked back at the hilltop and nodded:

"Yes, I found it yesterday and marked it."

He took out a map from his backpack and showed it to Su Tong.

Su Tong looked at the mark and pointed at the others and said:

"If the equilateral triangle is a mountain, then could this inverted triangle be a lake? I just don't know what the ellipse-like shape with a few zigzag lines next to it means? It looks like it has hair..."

After studying it for a while, they didn't come to any further conclusions. Qin Yi took out a pen and added the known terrain to the map, and they continued to move forward.

According to the direction on the map, they started from Crow's Beak Rock in the northwest direction, preparing to reach Qingshi Village. Halfway through, they changed their route and headed for Mangpiling in the middle of the map. At this time, they were heading almost due south.

If all goes well, we can reach Mangpiling around one or two o'clock in the afternoon.

Qin Yi held the compass and walked in front with Lin Li. After walking for about an hour, they found footprints beginning to appear in the snow.

It snowed all night last night, and the footprints we can see now can only prove that they were made today.

Some people also go to Mangpiling from this direction.

Several people secretly became more vigilant.

The path created by the footprints became clearer and clearer, heading all the way south, proving that they had not taken the wrong path and no longer had to worry about finding the way.

But before they had walked far, a few birds fluttered out of the woods ahead.

"Something is happening—"

Qin Yi stopped and said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, more than a dozen people came out of the woods ahead and blocked their way.

The leader was the hook-nosed man from last night, the one named Yang Fei.

"Hey, we meet again!"

Yang Fei held a double-barreled shotgun in one hand with the gun on his shoulder, and held a cigarette in the other.

An arrogant and wanton look.

Looking at Qin Yi and the other three, he even took a few more glances at Lin Li, who had beaten him last night. He exhaled a long puff of smoke into the sky and said proudly:

"I knew I could wait for you here! Why didn't you ask around? How dare you ruin Brother Fei's good deeds! I will make sure you come here alive but leave dead!"

After saying that, he threw away the cigarette butt and waved his hand:

"Brothers! Go! Avenge Brother Fei for what happened last night! Beat him up! If you can't kill him, throw a mine at him!"

When the people behind him heard it, they rushed over shouting.

Qin Yi just turned around and said to Zhou Jin, "Protect Sister Lan, you two stand back a little."

Zhou Jin obeyed and quickly pulled Su Tong back a few steps.

This was the first time Su Tong witnessed Qin Yi's skills.

He was carrying a large backpack, but he was still agile, his moves were sharp, his movements were graceful and smooth, and his moves were as smooth as flowing water.

Every punch and every kick hit the target, and with almost no effort, the people who rushed up were knocked to the ground in all directions.

With the skills of this ragtag group, they are not even qualified to be sparring partners.

Yang Fei was originally standing at the back watching the fight. When he saw the situation was not good, he raised his gun to shoot. However, before he could aim at the target, Lin Li kicked him in the wrist and confiscated his gun.

Just like copying and pasting, last night's situation happened again.

There were just more people, and the screams were louder.

Qin Yi stepped forward and stepped on Yang Fei's back, causing Yang Fei to sink into the snow.

"Brother Fei, right?"

"Big, big brother! Please, please... spare me! I am blind and don't recognize a great man..."

Yang Fei raised his head with difficulty and begged for mercy.

"What kind of business are you in?"

Qin Yi put a little force on his feet, lit a cigarette with a lighter with a "click", and asked slowly, with a strong sense of oppression.

"The Black Harrier of your province is my boss, please, please... please spare me!"

Yang Fei felt the coldness of the snow and the pressure from the boots on his back, and was so frightened that his body was shaking.

Qin Yi exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced at the few people lying on the side but not daring to get up, and uttered a word softly:

"search!"

Lin Li and Zhou Jin took action immediately, and it didn't take long for them to search the ten or so people thoroughly.

Daggers, long swords, iron chains... were scattered all over the ground, and there was even an axe. Except for the double-barreled shotgun and two homemade pistols that Yang Fei was carrying, which could barely be considered weapons, the rest could only be considered toys.

Apart from this, nothing valuable, such as pottery fragments, was found.

Qin Yi sneered, "You guys want to bully people here with these scraps of copper and iron? Is Black Harrier going to go bankrupt?"

Yang Fei didn't respond this time.

Qin Yi sneered, "Or do you want to pretend to be Black Hawk's men and deliberately provoke us in order to divert trouble?"

"No, I dare not!"

A thin man next to him trembled and continued:

"We are Heiye's men. Our equipment was taken away by the new guy in the gang. If we..."

"Shut up--" Yang Fei looked up and shouted.

"Fei, Brother Fei! Let's make it clear. There's no need to offend this big brother! We, we have to go back and seek revenge!" the thin man said excitedly.

Yang Fei was originally a little angry and embarrassed, but when he heard this, he buried his head deeply in the snow.

Seeing that Yang Fei did not stop him, the thin man plucked up the courage to say:

"Hey, dear brothers, please give me some favor..."

The thin man didn't finish his words. Yang Fei on the ground seemed to have figured it out. He struggled to raise his head and said:

"Big brother, give me a chance and listen to me."

Qin Yi snorted coldly and moved his foot away.

Yang Fei struggled to get up, knelt on one knee, looked miserable, and clasped his fists to Qin Yi and said:

"Brother, I know that those who can come here now are all brothers from the underworld. It is my fault that I offended you. I, Yang Fei, take the blame for this matter today! Please spare me today. I promise that all my brothers will be your brothers in the future. As long as you like them, I will let you command me in the future...

If you think we are an eyesore, we will definitely stay away from you and take a detour wherever you are in the future, and we will never cause trouble for you... We brothers had no choice but to come out and take risks after being bullied in the gang, but we didn't expect to offend you, big brother...

Please, big brother, forgive me for my mistakes and spare me this time!"
