"Come with me, there might be a good show happening nearby!"
Mr. Bu left a word and walked towards the other end of the maple forest.
Seeing this, Shang Xia hurriedly followed.
Coming out of the maple forest, a low mound appeared in front of us, with yellow weeds dancing on it in the cold wind.
Mr. Bu made a silent gesture to Shang Xia and then climbed up the mound first.
Shang Xia followed Mr. Bu to the top of the mound and looked down under the cover of weeds. He saw several red cloud horses walking around and eating on the gentle slope in the lee of the mound.
Weeds on the ground.
At the bottom of the slope, a bonfire was being lit, and several warriors of different ages were standing around the fire, talking casually.
Judging from the tired appearance of several people, it was obvious that these people had traveled a long way beforehand.
Moreover, during the conversation, these people looked towards the Chiba Mountains from time to time, obviously waiting for someone.
Shang Xia was a little startled when he saw these people, because there were actually two people he knew among them.
"Boy, do you know who these people are?"
Mr. Bu's voice came to Shang Xia's ears.
Shang Xia didn't even look back and said: "You Yan's Eighteen Riders!"
"Huh?"
Mr. Bu's surprised voice sounded in his ears: "You kid actually knows about the 'Eighteen Riders of Youyan'?"
Shang Xia smiled without looking back: "In the past few days, this name has almost sounded like a cocoon in the ears of the younger generation."
Mr. Bu said "Oh" and said: "Yes, you also know that the third of the 'Eighteen Youyan Cavalry' was captured by Yang Hu, so you should also guess that they gathered outside Changfeng City,
It should be about rescuing the third child?"
Shang Xia noticed that there were several more horses riding in the distance, and then he shrank his body under the weeds on the mound and said, "Maybe there will be an internal fight first."
Mr. Bu became more and more surprised and said, "Do you know?"
At this time, Shang Xia's heart moved, and he turned around and asked: "Sir, you don't want to take these people for your own use, do you?"
This time, Mr. Bu was not surprised that Shang Xia could see through his plan. Instead, he asked: "Isn't it possible? Yang Hu has been operating in Changfeng City for twenty years, and now there are two major cities, Cangling Realm and Bailu Paradise.
With the help of each other, who can you and I use now?"
Shang Xia said with some disbelief: "You have been in Changfeng City for so many years, haven't you found some useful people under your command?"
Mr. Bu asked back: "If I can manage a force, how can I still hide it from Yang Hu in Changfeng City?"
Naturally, Shang Xia didn't believe Mr. Bu's words, but when people insisted that there was no such thing, there was nothing he could do.
Seeing that twelve or three people of Youyan's Eighteen Cavalry had gathered under the mound at this time, he said: "How can you be sure, sir, that these people can be used?"
Mr. Bu did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know the identities of these people?"
Shang Xia said: "You mean that there is a shadow of Tongyou Academy behind them?"
Mr. Bu sighed slightly and said: "Not only that, most of them are people who were exiled and punished by Tongyou Academy after making mistakes."
Shang Xia was startled. At the same time, there were many things that seemed strange to him before, but he understood them all in an instant.
"They have complaints against the college? In addition, the college itself has too much time to take care of itself, so this gave Yang Hu the opportunity to conquer them?" Shang Xia asked.
Mr. Bu said: "More than just taking care of yourself? Anyone who knows something about the situation in Youzhou at this moment probably doesn't think much of Tongyou City. Even the other four frontier colleges probably believe that Tongyou College is determined to go its own way and may not be willing to give all their help.
.”
Shang Xia was still waiting to ask for more information from Mr. Bu, but unexpectedly Mr. Bu said first: "The people have almost arrived, let's see what they are going to do first!"
Hearing this, Shang Xia looked towards the bottom of the slope and noticed that just as he was talking to Mr. Bu, several more riders had arrived.
Shang Xia glanced around and saw that there were only sixteen riders in total.
But at this time, everyone had already stood up and stood in a circle around the bonfire. Everyone was wearing a thick cloak and a hood on their head. At first glance, it looked like a cult gathering.
"Hey, why are you only sixteen?"
Mr. Bu's somewhat surprised voice sounded in Shang Xia's ears.
Shang Xia's heart moved, but he said: "Senior, do you know which one is missing?"
Mr. Bu hesitated for a moment and then shook his head and said: "Everyone is covering their faces with hoods. It is not yet clear who is absent."
Shang Xia raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and stopped making any sound. Instead, he focused on looking at the gathering under the hillside in the distance.
At this time, it was obvious that someone among the sixteen people had started to argue.
Although Shang Xia couldn't hear clearly what these people were saying, nor could he see the expressions of the people arguing, he could see the hoods shaking violently and frequently due to emotion when someone was talking.
Although he could not hear clearly what these people were arguing about, Mr. Bu was able to judge from the body language revealed on the surface that the sixteen people at the foot of the hillside were roughly divided into three groups.
Among the two groups of people who had a dispute, there were about three or four people in one group and four or five in the other group. The rest remained silent. Can they be considered neutral?
At this time, one of the leaders of the group suddenly lifted the hood on his head, revealing a big bald head with two scars, and said loudly in a voice like a broken gong:
"Everything that needs to be said has been said, and what needs to be argued for has been argued for. Everyone already knows in their hearts what the matter is. As for what decision should be made, it is up to everyone!"
Having said this, the bald warrior turned to look at one of them and said in a deep voice: "Boss Sha, what do you say?"
The two groups of people were arguing just now. Although both sides seemed very excited, Shang Xia could barely hear a few words.
But when the bald warrior lifted his hood, his voice was clearly heard in Shang Xia's ears. There was no doubt that the cloaks and hoods on these men obviously had special sound-isolating effects.
"Cloak of Silence?" Shang Xia murmured to himself.
Mr. Bu's voice sounded in his ears again: "No, but the cloaks they wear do have a sound-blocking effect, and they should all be imitations. The real cloak of silence is said to be the possession of Hai Laosan. You were in Yan that day.
The person wearing the cloak of silence that I met when I came here is most likely Ebisu's daughter."
Shang Xia nodded slightly calmly.
At this time, Mr. Bu's introduction came to my ears again, saying: "The bald man is Zeng Si among the Eighteen Riders. He has a cultivation level of the second level of Wuyijing and can be considered a good player."
"The Eighteen Riders of Youyan may have been composed of students who were punished and exiled by Tongyou Academy at the beginning. In addition, they were robbing families and homes in Jizhou, and they were mostly engaged in some shady things. Therefore, most of these people did not use their real names. Over time, they
, so they are only commensurate with their respective seats in the Eighteen Riders. Then the bald Zeng Si is naturally the fourth among the Eighteen Riders of Youyan, and the Sha Lao he calls is naturally the eldest among the Eighteen Riders!"
As soon as Mr. Bu finished speaking, the person named Zeng Si also lifted the hood on his head, revealing a one-eyed middle-aged man wearing a black eyepatch.
I heard him say "Huh" first, but his expression looked very hesitant, and said: "The third child naturally wants to be saved, but what the second and fourth children said is not unreasonable. Well... we still need to think about it in the long term.
, Anyway, for a while, the third child's life should not be in danger... "That sixth sister, do you think I am right?"
A look of helplessness flashed across Zeng Si's face, as if he wasn't surprised by this, but when his boss mentioned Lao Liu, he was patiently prepared to hear what Gu Lao Liu had to say.
Gu Liu didn't expect to be used as a shield by his boss. He opened his hood and revealed a slightly pale female face. He quickly smiled "hehe" and said: "It's just a matter of discussion among several brothers. Once the result is found, I will
Just follow the instructions!"
This time the scene was a little awkward. Sha Da and Gu Liu, who had never spoken, were originally regarded as the fighting force between the two parties in the dispute, but they never thought that one of them would not offend both sides, and the other would have no idea.
"Although the Eighteen Riders of Youyan are a whole, the ones who actually speak with weight are the first six warriors who have reached the martial arts realm. Among these six, although Sha Da has the highest cultivation level and the oldest age, he is not
He is a man with ideas. Lao Liu has just gathered his martial arts will and has not yet established enough prestige. The movements of the Eighteen Cavalry have always been decided by the remaining four people. Now Hai San is detained in Changmaple City
, it should be the remaining three people who started the dispute."
While Mr. Bu quietly introduced the Eighteen Youyan Cavalry in Shang Xia's ear, he also roughly introduced the situation of the several third-order warriors leading them.
At this moment, two more people raised their hoods and revealed their faces. One of them was Cen Wu, who had a relationship with Shang Xia.
There is another middle-aged man who looks to be less than forty years old, has a slightly feminine face, and looks like a deep-minded man. From Mr. Bu’s introduction, Shang Xia can probably guess that this person should be ten years old.
Liu Er takes the second spot among the eight riders.
