Leaning against the rocks, Wu Gen drank some water, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. This time, Liangxi Village and his party actually lost the lives of six of their men.
"Master, don't be sad, we will eventually recover this debt." Ha Ying carefully advised from the side.
Wu Gen opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with calmness, "Where are we going?"
"Go back to Shixing Village." Ha Ying replied quickly.
"Go to Renfa Village." Wu Gen was a little tired and moved his body back. Zhuo Ke quickly sat behind him so that he could sit more comfortably.
Ha Ying was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused. Wu Gen glanced at him and said softly: "There is no insurance in Shixing Village. Someone betrayed us during this trip."
Both Zhuo Ke and Ha Ying's expressions changed drastically, "Who is the leader of the village?"
Wu Gen closed his eyes slightly, "It's not clear yet. I'll check it out slowly when I get back."
Ha Ying's face looked very ugly. Could it be that there really was a man who cheated on others in his village, causing six brothers to lose their lives. When he thought of the two companions who died willingly, Ha Ying felt a little painful in his heart.
The three of them continued walking along the steep mountain road. After Wu Gen woke up, he no longer needed Zhuo Ke and others to carry him on his back. Instead, with the support of the two of them, he leaned on a wooden stick and trudged along.
The road in the mountains was extremely difficult, and all three of them were injured, which inevitably delayed their journey. After walking for two days, we finally saw the highest peak among the mountains here.
The three people supported them, like refugees fleeing, and finally approached the top of the mountain. Just as he was about to make a big push forward, Wu Gen suddenly stopped.
On the peak in front, more than twenty people stood up. These people were all holding weapons and looked down at the three people who were stumbling over.
A man suddenly ran down from the peak, knelt down in front of Wu Gen and said, "Sir, you have suffered."
Wu Gen looked coldly at Zhang Wuyang who was kneeling in front of him, and took a step forward with a wooden stick, "But they are here to arrest us?"
Zhang Wuyang raised his head in fear and waved his hands repeatedly, "That's not your intention, sir, we are here to follow you. After a while in the granary that day, I wanted to leave with you, but we never thought that the clan leader would suddenly capture us and arrest us. Later, later..."
"Why are you here?" Wu Gen remained expressionless.
"Heita Songhan, the general of the Heita family, died here. The head of the family was furious. In addition to sending a large number of people to search, he also asked the village to send people to search because the people in the village were familiar with the surrounding terrain.
Because there were too many people in the village, the guards were a little lax, so we greeted each other and sneaked out. I thought that the adults might return from here, so I searched all the way to this place. "Zhang Wuyang quickly explained.
Wu Gen raised his head and looked at the twenty or so people who were poking their heads at the top of the mountain. "Get up and talk. Do they also want to follow me?"
Zhang Wuyang stood up, looking a little excited, "My lord's words in the granary that day opened the eyes of the young people in the village. Many people want to follow my lord to do something in their career, and these people are just a part of them. Please take me under my lord's care." Wu Yang will definitely live up to your lordship."
Wu Gen lowered his head and thought for a while, but did not answer, but walked towards the peak. Zhang Wuyang hurried over to help, but Zhuo Ke and Ha Ying calmly squeezed him away, protecting Wu Gen.
When they reached the top of the mountain, Wu Gen glanced around. The people here are all young people with green faces, and they all stare at Wu Gen excitedly.
No wonder these people acted like this, it was because Wu Gen's image in the granary that day was too tall. In addition, he heard that Heita Songhan also died in his hands, which made him even more respectful to Wu Gen.
"Everyone." Wu Gen's voice was hoarse, but his face was firm, "This time when I came to Liangxi Village, six of my men died. If you follow me, you may also face such a situation in the future.
Taking this road is by no means the carefree and carefree way you imagined. The road ahead is full of thorns and may even lead to death. Are you still willing to follow me? "
These people looked at each other and whispered, obviously not expecting Wu Gen to speak out the danger so directly.
The atmosphere at the summit was a bit depressing, and no one made a sound for a long time. Just when Wu Gen felt disappointed and was about to get up and leave, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "I am willing. A true man walks in the world. He would rather die a grand death than live in shame." It was Wu Gen who was quoted. If you were in the granary that day.
"I do." Another person said.
Soon, the voices became louder and louder, and eventually more than 20 people shouted in unison. The excited voice echoed in the valley, and it seemed like countless people were responding.
"Okay, in that case, come with me. Sooner or later, we will walk in this world in an upright manner." Wu Gen was also infected by the shouts, and his depressed mood finally eased.
With the help of these people, Wu Gen and others quickly arrived at Lingyun Village. Wu Gen didn't want them to know the location of Renfa Village. After settling Zhang Wuyang and others, he asked Zhuo Ke and Ha Ying to accompany them and secretly rushed to Renfa Village.
At the same time, Wu Gen ordered people to find Yang Zheng and Xue Xin, and they went to Renfa Village to discuss matters.
More than ten days later, in an elegant courtyard in Renfa Village, Wu Gen finished adjusting his breath and slowly stood up. The injured body has improved. Although he is still unable to fight with others, he can walk freely without the crutches.
There are more than a dozen wooden piers of various materials and thicknesses placed in the yard. Holding a broken knife, Wu Gen came to a wooden pier and stared at the texture on it, as if looking at a peerless beauty.
After just looking at the incense stick, Wu Gen closed his eyes slightly, cut off the knife in his hand and dropped it casually, slashing it into the wooden pillar. The blade of the sword is like a floating cloud that frightens a dragon, wandering among the wooden piers.
Looking closely, Wu Gen didn't use much strength, and the blade meandered along the texture freely, just like a chef undressing an ox. Suddenly, his hand froze. Wu Gen opened his eyes and saw that the blade was stuck in a scar, and the original enjoyment came to an abrupt end.
Sighing, Wu Gen took out the knife. He put his chin on his hand and looked at Mudun blankly.
These days, Wu Gen would practice whenever he had time, hoping to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. If he encounters a master like Heita Songhan again, he will be able to counterattack somewhat, so that the people around him will not die in vain.
Inspired by Du Ren's sword skills last time, Wu Gen was also able to send out multiple sword energy in one move. But what worries Wu Gen is that once the sword energy is diverted, the power becomes a little weaker. It's okay to deal with some unskilled people, but if you really want to fight against the masters, it will inevitably be a bit awkward.
In the current situation where the strength cannot suddenly advance, how to make every ray of sword energy kill the opponent as much as possible still needs to be carefully considered.
If you can see the opponent's vital points at a glance, just like the seven inches of a snake or the thin waist of a wolf, then the weak sword energy can also exert a greater effect. This is a trick, but it is also something that can't be helped. Who can let himself be just a martial artist in the four realms.
The courtyard door was pushed open, and Yang Zheng and Xue Xin arrived hand in hand. When he saw Wu Gen squatting on the ground, he didn't say anything, and quietly watched this ordinary wooden pier with him.
"Who from the An Si family contacted you and passed on the information about Liangxi Village." Wu Gen felt his eyes were a little sore. He stood up and moved his waist, but accidentally touched the wound on his chest and frowned.
"No one gave me information about Liangxi Village." Yang Zheng looked serious.
Wu Gen slowly turned around and looked into Yang Zheng's eyes, "In other words, someone pretended to be your name and handed over this information, but they had already laid this trap."
"It should be." Yang Zheng nodded and met Wu Gen's gaze without fear.
"I believe you." After a moment, Wu Genfang withdrew his aggressive gaze, turned around and walked towards a wicker chair in the courtyard.
Xue Xin secretly let out a sigh of relief. He already knew the cause of Wu Gen's attack, and he was really afraid that a rift would arise between the two of them. That would be a devastating disaster for yourself and all those who follow you.
"Sit down and discuss the matter." Wu Gen lay lazily on the chair, his smile changed.
Yang Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, Wu Gen already had some aura of a superior person, but he didn't know whether this change was good or bad.
The three of them gathered around a stone table, each holding a tea cup but not speaking. The atmosphere was a bit strange.
A bee flew over and buzzed in front of the table.
"Let's talk about it." Wu Gen waved his hand and brushed the bees away, finally breaking the embarrassing atmosphere.
Yang Zheng nodded and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "In fact, many families should know the news about Liangxi Village, not just the An Si family. So the An Si family is suspected, but it does not rule out that someone has framed the blame.
The thief passed the news in, and he probably tipped off the Heita family after watching you leave. Because the Heita family's heavy cavalry arrived in a hurry after you arrived at Liangxi Village, instead of setting up an ambush in the village in advance. Therefore, the traitor is from Shixing Village, and he is watching your every move. "
Wu Gen sighed, "In other words, the person who conveyed the information may be in Shixing Village. At least, someone in Shixing Village was involved in the contact. You and I have the same idea, but who is this person? Can he communicate with the outside world? I contacted the people and found a way to send out the information, and they still wanted me to die."
"Is it possible that it's Ha Bao? Although this man is brave in battle, he has always been a bit unruly, and he usually criticizes the human race. If the village leader leaves, Shixing Village will be his, and he has this motive. Moreover, he has many Walking outside, if you have the conditions, ability, and means to frame the village leader." Xue Xin suddenly said.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng looked at each other, their eyes twinkling.
"In Shixing Village, everyone is on alert and ready for battle. Since the traitor is in Shixing Village, he will definitely attract the people from the Heita family. It is no longer safe there." Wu Gen leaned his head on the back of the chair. Lazy ordered.
"As for who reported the letter to the Heita family, isn't it the four families? The people in Shixing Village are not qualified to contact the Heita family directly. Let's go to the An Si family who is the most suspicious first. Yang Zheng , leaked the news of my death to Shixing Village."
"You are trying to lure the snake out of its hole." Yang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, there is a traitor in Shixing Village now, and we can't directly question the possible person, as this will hurt people's hearts.
Just say that I am dead. Now that this traitor has achieved his goal, he will definitely contact the family outside. These days, Yang Zheng has sent more manpower to keep an eye on Shixing Village. "Wu Gen looked at the courtyard door with a faint look, but his eyes became colder and colder.
"Master, Lingyun Village has just taken in so many people from Liangxi Village. It's hard to tell whether there are spies. Lingyun Village should also be more vigilant. After all, the An Si family knows this stronghold." Xue Xin said at the side. suggested.
Wu Gen smiled slightly and said, "It's really hard for us to say goodbye to these people from Liangxi Village. Since An Sijia is the biggest suspect this time, let's put all the worried people in Lingyun Village.
If someone from the Ansi family comes to attack, that will confirm the suspicion and save us the trouble of taking action. Place all reliable people in Renfa Village to keep our fire. "
Yang Zheng and Xue Xin looked at each other. Wu Gen's move was because he wanted to borrow a sword.
After the three of them had discussed it, Wu Gen stood up and said to Xue Xin: "The Eight Riders of Ling Yun need to be rebuilt. This matter will be left to you. For those brothers who died, let them set up a tomb. If there are still people in the family, try to find ways to help. If you are willing, Follow us and you can pick it up."
"Sooner or later, I will place the heads of my enemies in front of their graves to comfort the heroic spirits." Wu Gen's face became ferocious, he got up and walked towards the house.
"What should we do at An Si's house?" Yang Zheng said.
Wu Gen turned his head and smiled, "You sent a letter to An Siyuan in your name and said you wanted to meet with him."
