Bai Xiang frowned and looked at the master's back in front of her, feeling very unfamiliar.
"I wonder what senior sister will think when she sees master like this?"
"Little Junior Sister, don't talk too much. These people are not easy to mess with at first glance. We are just these few people now. We must not conflict with them again. We should just obey Master's arrangements honestly."
Just as this senior brother said, the few injured disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect who have not recovered now have no role in the team at all, and they have no ability to protect themselves. If they say some useless words now, they may anger the team.
The other brothers and sisters all exchanged glances with each other and wisely chose to shut up.
The group of people walked in the direction of Qingshanju for more than half an hour, and the mountains ahead became obviously steeper and denser.
The hilly area has come to an end, and there is a stretch of mountains ahead. Passing through these mountains is the Dadukou on the northwest bank of the Yangtze River. After crossing the river, there is the so-called hinterland of the Central Plains, a paradise of rivers and lakes far away from the control of the imperial court, but it is also
There are many more lakes and mountains for the literati to enjoy.
If the thousand-mile radius near the capital was the center of power in Dahua before then, then the two river basins beyond the Yangtze River and the area further south to the south of the Yangtze River were free countries far away from political intrigues.
Although there is no place in Dahua that is beyond the control of the imperial court, being far away from the capital will inevitably lead to more freedom, and it will also nourish more Jianghu sects and local tyrants; it will also cultivate a group of literati who are unwilling to accept restraints and prefer to act as they please.
Elegance.
In short, without the pressure at the emperor's feet, there will be more romance and happy grudges.
If Xia Shang was allowed to choose, his future retreat would definitely be in this place full of infinite possibilities.
For Yue Yanzhi, all he wanted to do was cross the river so that he could be protected by the power of the noble clan after crossing the river.
Although the gentry had their own factions, Yue Yanzhi's influence was bound to gain the collective support of the gentry.
Within the sphere of influence of the noble clan, whether it is the imperial court or Jianghu forces, if you want to continue to threaten Yue Yanzhi's safety, you must think carefully.
The nobles have no force, but they influence the hearts and minds of the people in the world. Even the imperial court will not easily turn against the nobles. Naturally, the Jianghu sects are even less willing to be enemies of the nobles. No one wants to be the heart of the people in the world.
The villain in.
Yue Yanzhi saw the mountains in front of him and thought that he would not be in danger once he entered the mountains. After all, it was very difficult to find someone in such a complicated mountain environment.
But Yue Yanzhi never imagined that when he entered this mountainous area, he would be kidnapped by a group of evil people. What was even more unexpected was that his trusted disciple would actually be bribed by the second prince's power.
Knowing all this, Yue Yanzhi could only smile silently. He had carefully planned for so long and carefully designed the route to leave Beijing. It turned out that it was an abyss with no way out from the beginning.
But there is one thing that Yue Yanzhi doesn't understand. Since the people in Qingshanju have been bribed by the second prince's people, why would this ghost-faced group appear halfway? Wouldn't it be better to just let yourself fall into the trap?
"It seems that the so-called Heavenly Book is so attractive to these martial arts people that even people from the same party are trying to snatch it away."
Yue Yanzhi was tied up and unable to move. Thinking of the real reason behind this, he could only smile bitterly in his heart at this moment.
There is a mountainous forest area ahead, and the open official road is no longer allowed. The group can only enter the mountain through small paths. In order to avoid risks, even the small paths have to be abandoned, and the whereabouts cannot be exposed by directly crossing the mountains and forests.
The mountain road is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and the atmosphere in the team is becoming more and more depressing.
The heavy rain in the past two days has accumulated a lot of water in the mountains. If you are not careful, your feet will slip and you will fall down the cliff along the mountain.
Arriving in the dense forest of Congshan, several disciples of the Gujian Sect began to feel overwhelmed because the injuries on their bodies had not recovered, and coupled with the non-stop driving, their bodies simply couldn't bear it.
"Master! These senior brothers can't walk anymore!" Bai Xiang shouted at the end of the team.
Ke Sanke in front did not answer immediately, but glanced at Master Ghost.
Master Ghost didn't take these disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect seriously, and sneered: "The few who are holding us back can be dealt with to speed up the process."
Master Ghost had a murderous intention. When Liu Yu heard these words, he felt a chill in his heart. At the same time, he looked at the master, wanting to see what the master's answer would be.
Ke Sanke said seriously: "Master Ghost, what are you going to do? They are all my people!"
"In the Second Emperor
Any useless person will be eliminated when doing things around me, you should know this."
"No! I have already lost many disciples, you can't hurt them again."
"Ke Sanke, are you qualified to negotiate terms with me?" Master Ghost's expression was stern, his eyes fixed on Ke Sanke.
Ke Sanke frowned, but he was very strong: "I gave you the news about Yue Yanzhi! This thing is my credit, you are just taking advantage of others. If you can't get the attention of the second prince, then I, Gu Jian
There is no point in joining the Second Prince's camp. If the Ghost Master wants to take action now, then I, Ke Sanke, will have to fight to the death to keep the little incense of the Gujian Sect."
After hearing this, Liu Yu relaxed his back with a chill, thinking that at least the master was not so crazy that he didn't even care about his apprentice.
If this is the case, then perhaps the master really did it to revitalize the ancient sword sect, so he took some measures that were contrary to chivalry.
Master Gui did not expect Ke Sanke to be so stubborn, and his expression became extremely ugly. He thought for a while: "Then what do you want?"
Ke Sanke looked at the surrounding mountains and whispered: "We are surrounded by mountains here. We are in the mountains. Even if someone is following us, it is impossible to catch up immediately. Rest here for a while and wait.
My disciples have recovered somewhat."
Master Ghost ignored him and gestured to his subordinates to rest on the spot.
When they heard that it was time to rest, the disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect breathed a sigh of relief, and each one of them quickly lay down on the ground to relax.
Baixiang walked to the master and lowered her head: "Master, I'm going to pick some wild fruits for the senior brothers."
Ke Sanke nodded without any expression.
Baixiang was depressed and went deeper into the forest alone.
Yue Yanzhi was also put down, but he was not so lucky to rest, and was brought directly to Master Ghost.
"After walking for so long, I wonder if Mr. Yue has figured it out in his heart? Do we need to explain the matters related to the general outline of the Book of Heaven?"
"I don't have the outline of the Heavenly Book. You have all been deceived! I was indeed in the palace on the third day of April, and I did go to an unknown palace to get a book. But that book was not the Heavenly Book. It was simply not a book.
