These words made Meng Jiuxiao very embarrassed, as if he was judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, hindering Master Zhuo's chivalrous and righteous actions.
Zhuo Mufeng's words made sense, and after careful consideration, it seemed that there was some truth in it, which made Meng Jiuxiao fall into deep thought.
When Zhuo Mufeng saw this, he cursed again in his heart. What the hell was this man named Meng doing? He usually talks about the right way, but now he is cowering?
He was afraid that he would not be able to convince Meng Jiuxiao even if he said this, and would not give the other party a chance to speak, so he waved his hand quickly: "Forget it, the Demon Sect is powerful after all. If Yandang Eighteenth Village is really targeted, and there are masters of the Demon Sect lurking, what consequences will it have?
It’s hard to predict. It’s better to report it to the alliance for long-term planning.”
At first glance, these words are admonishing Meng Jiuxiao, but after a little understanding, you can feel the strong irony in the words. What does it mean that the consequences are unpredictable? To put it clearly, it means that Meng Jiuxiao is greedy for life and afraid of death, and does not dare to challenge the masters of the Demon Sect.
.
What's more, Meng Jiuxiao said before that he would take a long-term view, and now Zhuo Mufeng returns it intact. Even a fool knows what it means.
Meng Jiuxiao's face muscles twitched when he heard it, his face turned red and white, and he stared at Zhuo Mufeng with burning eyes, feeling that this kid was too tired.
Wu Yuanyuan also looked at Zhuo Mufeng fiercely, and said angrily: "Don't be so arrogant. If it really is a demon sect, we naturally can't stand idly by."
Zhuo Mufeng shook his head and said: "I just made casual guesses. I can't take it seriously. I don't think the Demon Sect can focus on this place. Don't think too much. Let's take a rest and rush to Shengwu Mountain as soon as possible. It's safer there.
"
After saying that, he smiled slightly and looked like he understood. Meng Jiuxiao was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly and made a cracking sound. He knew clearly that this was Zhuo Mufeng's way of provoking generals, but he couldn't change his temper in his bones.
Don't tolerate being underestimated.
If he, one of the four envoys of the Sanjiang Alliance, can't deal with a junior kid, how can he have the face to hang around in the world in the future?
Wu Yuanyuan was also angry. Zhuo Mufeng's words were obviously mocked by everyone, including her. Why is this bastard so annoying? She wanted to change her attitude towards him, but he always looked like he deserved a beating. Think about it.
It makes people angry.
"People named Zhuo, don't be sarcastic. If they are really masters of the Demon Sect, I will be the first one not to spare them." Wu Yuanyuan said through gritted teeth.
Meng Jiuxiao exhaled a long breath, and his expression returned to calm, and he said calmly: "Three days from now, it will be the day when the Eighteenth Village of Yandang will elect the village leader. If the Demon Sect really wants to cause trouble, I believe they will not miss this opportunity."
Upon hearing the two people's statements, Zhuo Mufeng was secretly ecstatic. Of course, without showing anything on his face, he gave a thumbs up and said: "I knew that Uncle Meng and my sister are role models for our generation and the backbone of the righteousness. This chivalrous spirit is worth everything."
Learn from your colleagues in Jianghu."
Wu Yuanyuan snorted and turned her head away, ignoring him.
Meng Jiuxiao also said angrily: "Stop flattering, you slippery-tongued boy. I don't think you are a good person. If you dare to go astray in the future, Lao Meng will be the first to kill you!"
Although he had made up his mind to visit Yandang Eighteen Villages, Meng Jiuxiao always felt as if he had been deceived by someone. He held his breath in his chest. It was strange to have anything nice to say.
Zhuo Mufeng felt sorry for himself, with a smile on his face, comforting himself not to be like a villain, and wait until he gets stronger.
But his face was very solemn and he said: "Uncle Meng, if we want to conduct an in-depth investigation, I'm afraid it will be too late to go there in three days, and there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. Why not leave now, first find a way to sneak into the village, and be able to adapt to changes
.”
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Zhuo Mufeng made up his mind to do this, and of course he wanted to grasp the situation as much as possible. In the final analysis, this guy didn't care about the Demon Sect at all, he just wanted to use Meng Jiuxiao and the two to achieve his own goals.
Hearing what he said was reasonable and couldn't fault it, Meng Jiuxiao felt depressed again. She always felt that she was being led by others. But he had even agreed to the most important things. If there were differences on such trivial matters, then
It seemed that his belly was too small, and he had nowhere to vent his sullenness, so he could only let out a heavy snort.
Zhuo Mufeng knew that he couldn't push Lao Meng into a hurry, as he would lose all face. If he fell out, he would lose more than he gained, so he laughed quickly and said: "It's just a small suggestion, don't take it seriously."
Meng Jiuxiao said angrily: "You kid, you are not very young, how can you come up with so many tricks!"
…
Yandang Eighteen Villages, with the word Yandang in front of it, naturally governs the area among the Yandang mountains. The mountains are misty, the mountains are verdant, birds are chirping, and streams are flowing.
Among the surrounding mountains, there is a particularly eye-catching peak, like a writing brush inserted straight and upside down. The mountain is steep, and the four sides are constantly sloping and concave with the height. Under the cover of the dense forest, you can vaguely see a winding mountain road surrounding the mountain.
Twist upward.
This is the Yubi Village among the Eighteen Villages in Yandang. Because it is located deep in the mountains, few people usually set foot there. Occasionally, some people enter by mistake, but they have never been seen coming out.
If you get closer, you can find that on the stone road winding up the mountain, there are several well-armed warriors keeping watch at regular intervals. The place where they are standing can be well concealed by the surrounding woods, but they can fully capture the scene below the mountain.
Looking closer, it is not easy for anyone to sneak up to the foot of the mountain.
Even if you are close to the foot of the mountain, you must advance through the stone road, and you will naturally be discovered by the sentries on both sides. These sentries extend all the way to the headquarters on the top of the mountain. Once someone wants to force a breakout, they will be attacked by the experts in the village. You can imagine the difficulty.
.
There used to be some righteous masters of the fourth level of the Star Bridge Realm who tried to eradicate Yubi Village. In the end, they could not attack by force, so it was better to run away. Several people were directly killed by random arrows.
Among the Eighteen Villages, the Yubi Village was only mid-range in strength, so from then on, the nearby Jianghu people no longer dared to easily provoke the Yandang Eighteen Villages.
It was sunny at noon, and three figures sneaked close to the foot of the mountain and hid behind a huge rock. They were none other than Zhuo Mufeng and the others.
After hearing about the defense of Yubi Village from Meng Jiuxiao, Zhuo Mufeng was secretly speechless. Fortunately, Lao Meng and Wu Yuanyuan were with him this time. On his own, he was afraid that he would be discovered before he even got close.
"Uncle Meng, is there any way?" Zhuo Mufeng asked in a low voice with his head sticking out of the boulder, his eyes quickly scanning the foot of the mountain more than ten meters away, and then immediately retracting.
Meng Jiuxiao used the method of transmitting sounds to enter the secret and replied: "It is impossible to break in during the day, unless you are a master of the Hexiang Realm. Let's wait until night to observe."
Wu Yuanyuan obviously heard the same words and said nothing. She just took out a piece of cloth from the bag, wiped the stone next to her, folded the cloth carefully, with the clean side facing out, and put it back into the bag.
Then he sat down on the spot and began to adjust his legs cross-legged.
Seeing Meng Jiuxiao looking around quietly, Zhuo Mufeng was happy to let the other party investigate. He also followed Wu Yuanyuan's example and meditated on the spot to prepare for the night's action.
When a warrior meditates, time passes easily, and before you know it, the sky is getting dark.
The towering Yubi Village became brightly lit, especially the winding stone road. Under the combination of hand-held torches, it looked like a thick fire dragon wrapping around the mountain. It whirred in the wind, and the flames twisted left and right, as if the fire dragon was changing.
form.
Meng Jiuxiao's voice came to his ears. Zhuo Mufeng opened his eyes and stood up quickly. Wu Yuanyuan on the other side moved faster than him. The three of them didn't need to be as careful as during the day. Most of their heads stuck out of the stone to observe.
"These guys are very vigilant. There hasn't been any movement for most of the day. It's almost impossible to walk up the stone road." Meng Jiuxiao said in a deep voice.
"What good advice does Uncle Meng have?" Wu Yuanyuan knew Meng Jiuxiao well and knew that the other party must have other solutions to this problem.
Sure enough, Meng Jiuxiao immediately said via voice transmission: "We can only walk close to the mountain wall and go up the entire stone road. As long as we don't make too much noise, we won't be easily discovered at night."
Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan were not stupid people. They looked at Yubi Mountain and immediately understood what Meng Jiuxiao meant, and their eyes lit up. But it was easier said than done. With the height of Yubi Mountain, it would be very difficult for the two of them to do so.
It's hard not to be discovered.
"Walk!"
Meng Jiuxiao held the arms of the two of them with one hand and used the surrounding rocks to go around to the back of Yubi Mountain. The lowest point of the stone road here is nearly ten meters away from the foot of the mountain. The light of the torch is not enough to illuminate the entire mountain.
The foot of the mountain.
Meng Jiuxiao, an expert in martial arts, was brave and had sufficient internal strength. He grabbed Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan, and with a little push of his feet, the three of them rushed out like a gust of wind. The distance of more than ten meters was fleeting, too fast for ordinary people to notice, and in this dark night
In the environment, it was even more silent.
After successfully arriving at the foot of the mountain, Meng Jiuxiao untied Zhuo Mufeng's belt, pulled it in half, tied the arms of Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan respectively, and tied the last two belts into a tight knot with his own belt.
After doing all this, Meng Jiuxiao made a gesture, gently pulled out Zhuo Mufeng's Yitian Sword, and jumped up. Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan also immediately started to use Qinggong.
When they reached a height close to the stone road, Meng Jiuxiao swung his sword and stabbed, the blade of the sword penetrated the stone wall for a foot. It only made a tiny crisp sound, which was easily covered up by the sound of burning torches above.
A look of surprise flashed in Zhuo Mufeng's eyes, and he gave a thumbs up to Meng Jiuxiao. He could also do similar things, but the sound was definitely very loud, and I'm afraid the people above him had already noticed it.
As expected of a top-notch expert ranked 36th on the Star Ranking, Zhuo Mufeng was extremely lucky to have fooled the opponent.
After resting for a moment, Meng Jiuxiao drew out his sword and ascended along the curved path of the stone road. The height of his head was always three feet lower than the stone road. The path the three of them followed was like a parallel curve lower than the stone road.
At this time, once someone stands outside the foot of the mountain and looks up, he can easily spot three figures slowly climbing up. A warning can expose the three of them.
Therefore, the three of them were very nervous, fearing that their efforts would fall short. Wu Yuanyuan kept looking up and down, praying in her heart that she would not be harmed by others.
Zhuo Mufeng wanted to urge Lao Meng to hurry up, because if he failed this time, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of Yubi Village, and maybe notify other villages, which would be very detrimental to his follow-up plan!
But seeing that Lao Meng was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly, it seemed that this kind of thing would be very laborious, so he was too embarrassed to speak and did not dare to speak.
Amidst the tension and worry, the three finally approached the top of the mountain. The trees protruding from the stone wall were particularly dense. Even if someone came to the foot of the mountain, it would be difficult to spot them.
