64 Under investigation (thanks to the leader of Xiaofeidu
On the back side of Shaoyang Mountain, at the foot of the mountain, beside a round green pool, two fat men with a stature of nearly three meters tall were standing.
One of them turned out to be one of the two fat men Wei He met the night before.
Except for the two biggest fat men, there were dozens of ordinary disciples scattered around, and four inner disciples in white.
Wei He visually measured the distance between himself and the group of people. It was about twenty meters away.
It was still morning, almost noon.
The sun is scorching hot, and the hay is like a steamer.
Among the Shaoyangmen and others at the water pool, a big fat man seemed to be shouting loudly and was extremely excited.
Wei He slowly moved along the hay bushes on the mountain.
The mountain wind shook the grass and woods, and the rustling sound perfectly covered up the noise of hay being squeezed away as he moved.
Slowly, as he got closer, he began to feel the cool breath coming from the pool.
"No wonder these people are crowded here." Wei He understood clearly.
But what he was more concerned about was the content of what these people were saying.
As the distance got closer, the sounds from the pool slowly floated over.
"...Gather the people from the east, or else the guys from the Seven Family Alliance won't take advantage of it like last time! The beast bait in two bunkers is gone! How do you want me to open the door?
Lord, tell me?!"
Although the sound was loud and soft, I could finally hear the content clearly.
'This has been three times in a row this month, and more than half of the goods have been intercepted. If the agreement cannot be completed by then, you all know the consequences!'
"Of course I know, but what can I do? The two teams sent out were all killed on the way. There are only so many people in the inner sect! One-third of them are dead now! If they continue to die, the entire Shaoyang sect will be destroyed.
Spend it all!" another voice shouted angrily.
"Those guys are too fast and more agile than monkeys. We can't catch up at all! We have to find a way to stop them!"
"I have an idea."
"What can I do? Tell me quickly!"
"...Friends on the mountain, why don't you come out and talk?"
Wei He's heart trembled.
Through the grass, he saw one of the fat men by the pool. He suddenly turned his head and glanced in his direction.
"Friend, you have had conflicts with my Shaoyang Clan several times, but those were all minor matters.
I’m the Inspector of Shaoyang Gate, Zheng Yue. I have something important to discuss with you here. If this matter can be accomplished, the reward will definitely satisfy you, and the previous grudges will be wiped out."
The fat man with thick black eyebrows had a gentle face and spoke loudly to Wei He in a calm voice.
The other person was slightly startled and looked this way, obviously he hadn't noticed anyone around him yet.
The rest of the Shaoyang Clan disciples became vigilant and looked towards Wei He.
For a moment there was no sound from the pool, only the whistling wind passing through the forest.
At this point, Wei He still didn't know that he had been discovered.
However, he was also a very brave man and did not get up. He still hid in the grass. He immediately spoke while suppressing his voice.
"What kind of advice does Inspector Zheng have for you? Can you tell me?"
As soon as his voice came out, he was ready to move away from his original position at any time.
But the other party really wanted to talk to him and had no intention of taking action.
Zheng Yue spread his hands to show that he had no hostility.
"My friend must be the master who solved the earthen castle in my sect before, right? Your Excellency has strong palm power and extremely fast speed. I admire you. I don't know how to call him?"
call?
Wei He's thoughts flashed.
"Call me Ghost."
"Ghost Man? Okay, then, Brother Ghost Man, to be honest, our Shaoyang Sect is in urgent need of hiring a speed master to help intercept the assassins of the Seven Family Alliance." Zheng Yue said bluntly.
"The reward is ten fixed food pills. The authenticity can be verified."
"Dingshi Dan? What is that?" Wei He made no secret of his ignorance.
At this time, he planned to collect more detailed information.
In these three worlds of qi-blood warriors, he seems to still lack a lot of things.
"One fixed food pill can equal one month's energy, which can quickly replenish qi and blood and replenish the consumption of practice." Zheng Yue's eyes flashed with a strange look, but he still explained seriously.
"I don't want a fixed meal pill, I want a golden ticket!" After Wei He got the information, he didn't care whether it was true or false. He wrote it down first and immediately changed the reward. The golden ticket was the most real, and for the rest of the food, who knows if there is anything fishy in it.
"The golden ticket is also done. After the event is completed, how about the reward be deposited in the location designated by you?"
"No, you have to pay a deposit first. Otherwise, after I help you, who knows whether you will break the contract?" Wei He said, holding his voice.
"Then how do we know whether you will take the deposit and leave?" Zheng Yue said in a deep voice.
"That's your business. You want me to help, not that I need you. So you have to bear this risk yourself.
Moreover, I also want to set the price based on the difficulty of the task content. The Seven Family Alliance is not someone to be trifled with." Wei He said bluntly.
Zheng Yue fell silent.
Indeed, he thought of this method temporarily. The masters from the Seven Family Alliance were so fast that even though they were confident that they could beat him, they just couldn't catch up.
But if one or three Qi and blood masters delay them, there is a high chance that they can catch up and kill that person!
"In this way, the person recruited by the Seven Family Alliance is the famous Jiangyang thief, Chasing the Wind Leg Chen Zhao. Just taking his head can be exchanged for two thousand taels of gold in Hongjiabao. After that, everything on Chen Zhao's body will be
We don’t want anything, including the bounty, and we’ll give it all to you. Before this happens, our Shaoyang Clan will pay you another two thousand taels of gold and an additional hundred kilograms of dried bear meat, how about that?”
"Too little." Wei He began to bargain with the other party.
In the past, if he went up to the mountain to rob someone, he could get more than a thousand taels of gold tickets.
"Isn't that enough!?" The total amount is four thousand taels of gold tickets, and there are also one hundred kilograms of dried bear meat. This ghost man's appetite must be too big, right?
In fact, Wei He had no idea how much bear meat was worth, so he habitually increased the price.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry to find help, so he can just add more if he can.
After some haggling, both parties reached an agreement.
Wei He will help intercept the Qijia League's chasing leg Chen Zhao during the transport team's march tomorrow.
Repelling, killing, and delaying each have different bonuses.
In addition, Wei He asked some questions about common sense, and Zheng Yue also answered them one by one with a sincere attitude.
Both sides answered questions very quickly.
After a while, Wei He retreated quietly. When he left and returned, he also knocked out a fat man from the inner gate of Shaoyang Gate on the way, and led him down the mountain.

Behind Shaoyang Mountain, in a broad coniferous forest, there are several iron ore mines of different sizes scattered at random.
Around these mines, Shaoyang Gate has built a large circle of earth wall defenses, with patrol teams patrolling day and night, and windproof wolves shuttle back and forth, keeping an eye on those who want to escape.
Inside one of the mines.
Wei Chun spat, stamped hard with his feet, and looked at his parents who were coughing behind him.
Wei Shitou and his wife looked haggard, huddled in a corner and were dozing off. They only wore a thin set of linen clothes and pants.
The three of them have been mining in the dark mine here since they were captured by the Shaoyang Sect. They must dig a certain amount of iron ore every day before they can leave to get food.
Fortunately, Wei Chun was gifted and very strong. When he came in, he pretended to be just like ordinary people, so that he could secretly share some of the work with his parents.
She has been sensible since she was a child and often helps her parents take care of her younger siblings. Although she is in danger now, she still takes the initiative to take on her responsibilities.
But, I don’t know how long these days will last.
Wei Chun wiped his sweat and looked up at the dim light of the mine outside.
The sunlight was so bright that she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been free to move outside. The skin on her body became whiter and whiter due to the lack of sunlight.
"I don't know how Xiaoying and Xiaohe are doing now..."
It was unlucky to say that she was temporarily captured when she was performing a task for the gang.
As for the parents, they encountered Yi Er who made a sneak attack on the way. After being caught, they sold them to Shaoyangmen for mining at a cheap price.
I originally thought that I would never have the chance to go out again, but recently, something seems to have turned around.

In another mountain forest in Feiye City.
Wei He threw the fat man to the ground and found a bunch of various things from his body that were used to plot against people.
"This piece of shit is so sinister!" Wei He was secretly shocked as he touched it.
The fat man carried three lime bags, two poisonous water bottles, a first-generation poison powder, a bag of poison darts, and some live poisonous insects and spiders packed in breathable woven bags.
Wei He was not polite and accepted everything except poisonous insects.
He stood in the woods and waited quietly for a while.
Only then did the fat man slowly wake up.
"Who attacked me!!?" The fat man jumped up like a carp, his stomach exploded with a wave of fat, and he jumped up.
"Me." Wei He said slowly.
His voice frightened the fat man.
This guy seemed completely unaware that there was someone standing so close to him.
Soon, the fat man's expression changed and he recalled what had happened to him before.
"Sir, have mercy on me!" He quickly knelt down and knelt down with a thud.
"..." Wei He was speechless.
"Whatever you want to know, uncle, I will definitely tell you! I don't dare to hide it!" the fat man quickly added.
"...You are very knowledgeable." Wei He paused, "Let me ask you...two years ago, did your Shaoyang Sect intercept and kill a troop at the foot of the mountain and go to Mingde Temple to carve it?
A team of craftsmen for Buddha statues?”
"Two...two years ago?" The fat man trembled, "Uncle, two years ago we couldn't have been arresting people everywhere. At that time, the higher-ups had to cooperate with a big shot to hunt down a witch codenamed Hei Zi Chong. We didn't even think about it.
We don’t have time to arrest people and take them back..."
"Black character insect??!" Wei He's heart trembled. Unexpectedly, he didn't ask the key question, but instead pulled out something else.
"Seriously?" He said solemnly, and unconsciously took out a short knife from the fat man's body. If the other party answered incorrectly, he would be ready to kill him.
"It's absolutely true. At that time, most of our disciples were searching for black-lettered insects all day long and were in no mood to arrest people and take them back to the mines." Fatty replied quickly.
"Are you sure!?" Wei He pulled out his dagger and looked at him coldly.
"Sure! Absolutely sure!" Fatty shouted, "The one who often arrested people at that time was the Katori Sect! We arrested very few people! Sir, why don't you go investigate the Katori Sect? They were crazy about arresting people, burning incense, and forcibly recruiting people into their gangs.
