On July 9th, the night was filled with stars. They are all charlatans with faster feet. Naturally, they are faster than those who followed the caravan before. Lin Manliu entered Qianzhou about half a day faster than Lin Manliu followed the caravan before. within the territory.
When he just got off the Sword Forging Peak, the boy in a short shirt wanted to find an excuse to go to the city to hold his little huang, but he saw two Sword Forging Peak disciples on the edge of the city, one person and one horse, just holding him and Ning Ke. The horses, this old fox really wanted to block all his escape routes... Due to the large number of disciples accompanying Zhu Jianfeng, a team of nearly thirty people walked on the night road in Qianzhou, and some pedestrians passed by They all hurriedly avoided the fields on both sides, and no one even tried to stop them in front of this group of galloping charlatans.
On the way here, there have been news coming out from Qianzhou. The thieves entrenched in the Yangfeng Valley area have dispersed all the Jianghu sects in Qianzhou area and some mountaintops who are unwilling to surrender in just a few days. They have resisted fiercely. Until the clan is destroyed, only those who are willing to surrender will be imprisoned and returned to Yangfeng Valley.
"Li Gongfeng, will we disturb those thieves if we do this at night?" An accompanying deacon said beside Li Junce.
Since entering Qianzhou, they originally traveled by moonlight last night. Tonight, under Li Junce's arrangement, everyone lit torches and rushed through the forest like a fire dragon.
"It doesn't matter, the disciples in front have sent a message, and the brothers of the Tiandi Alliance are stationed not far away. By doing this, we are also passing on the news of reinforcements to our comrades who are already stationed." Li Junce looked straight ahead and said. "That's it, Li Chongfeng is wise!
"The accompanying deacon immediately responded.
"Inform the disciples in the peak to continue on their way." After Li Junce finished speaking, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse immediately rushed forward.
"Everyone can meet up with the Heaven and Earth Alliance ahead, please hurry up!" The accompanying deacon raised the torch in his hand high, shook it several times in his hand, and motioned for the people behind him to look towards him.
The disciples of Zhujianfeng behind him received the order and also chased Li Junce and the accompanying deacon.
Lin Manliu and Ning Ke, who were following at the back of the crowd, looked at each other and could only continue to move forward faster, because the several disciples of Cavalry Sword Peak around them responded with the disciples in front, but their speed was slower than before. Not much faster, still keeping a close distance from Lin Manliu and Ning Ke.
Lin Manliu sighed secretly. Jiang was still very old and took good care of him at all times. What did this old fox want in him?
"I heard that Brother Liu was traveling eastward before, and when he passed Yangfeng Valley, it seemed that it was the time when the cherry trees were in full bloom," Ning Ke said suddenly.
This was the first time that Ning Ke took the initiative to talk to him in the past few days. Lin Manliu did not reply immediately and began to figure out the meaning of Ning Ke's words. What message must he want to convey to him... Ning Ke saw Lin Manliu Liuyi's face started to look ugly as he looked thoughtful, and then he said in a deep voice: "Since Brother Liu is troubled, I won't bother you anymore...".
After hearing these words, the young man in a short shirt looked blankly at the poor scholar riding a horse beside him, and said in confusion: "Huh?".
This made Ning Ke, who was about to move forward, even more speechless. She yelled in a low voice: "Idiot!" The voice was very low, including Lin Manliu, and the surrounding disciples of Zhujianfeng who were monitoring the two people's journey. , have never heard of it.
The young man in a short shirt hurriedly grabbed the reins of Xiao Huang's horse and signaled Xiao Huang to chase forward. Before approaching the poor scholar in front, he hurriedly said: "I was traveling with the caravan earlier, and when I came here, it was true that the Yangfeng Valley area The cherry trees are in bloom, and the cherry blossoms blowing all over the mountain are so beautiful, and Brother Ning should be able to see them later..."
Ning Ke just continued to move forward, seemingly not listening carefully to Lin Manliu's words.
"At that time, I encountered some bandits invading the caravan here. It was the second time that I faced others with weapons. No matter in terms of my character or the swordsmanship I learned from my master, I was extremely reluctant. I almost died in that attack... ." Lin Manliu began to talk to himself as he thought about it.
Lin Manliu, you're too bad of a kid...Why are you always blocked by bandits in the mountains when you go out, and now you're still being cared about by some famous and decent people?
"But fortunately, I met Miss Yue at that time. I thought I was about to die. That day she suddenly appeared next to me and stopped the bandit..." Lin Manliu seemed to have thought of something happy. , even the tone of his speech became cheerful.
Moon Girl? I haven't heard of it in the chat at the inn before... It's Miss Yue and it's Senior Sister Qiao. At a young age, she was so unlearned...
"These don't seem to have much to do with the cherry trees that Brother Ning mentioned... I'm sorry." The young man realized that he seemed to be off topic and hurriedly stopped talking.
...I just suddenly remembered that I asked you about the scenery in Yangfeng Valley that my husband mentioned before the trip. It's so irrelevant and meaningless.
Lin Manliu saw that Ning Ke still had nothing to do, so he could only follow the disciples of Zhujianfeng and move forward together.
... After walking for a while, in front of the Zhujianfeng group, there was suddenly a light of fire approaching them quickly.
When Li Junce saw the flames flowing, he immediately raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop and be ready to meet the enemy at any time.
"The person coming is Li Chongfeng from Zhujianfeng!" A shout came from the position of the fire.
"Exactly! I'm Li Junce from Zhujianfeng!" After hearing the news, Li Junce shouted towards the fire.
"I would like to thank the people from Zhujian Peak for coming to my aid. I would like to ask Lan Wuqiu of Sword Lake." As the voice got closer, everyone saw it was a middle-aged man wearing bright yellow clothes.
I saw this man who claimed to be from Wenjian Lake, holding a folding fan upside down in his right hand, looking at Li Junce with his hands clasped in fists.
"It turns out to be Brother Lan. I have admired him for a long time. I heard that Brother Lan likes to collect swords from all over the world. When the war stops in the future, I will ask the disciples in the peak to send some of the newly made weapons to Wenjian Lake!" Li Junce also clasped his fists and said loudly.
"Brother Li, you're welcome. I guess Brother Li and everyone behind him didn't have a good rest on the way to help. Come with me quickly. The front is the Tiandi Alliance camp," Lan Wuqiu said in response.
When they heard that they were about to rendezvous with the Heaven and Earth Alliance, the disciples of Zhujian Peak who had been galloping all the way in the past two days couldn't help but feel relaxed, and they all secretly sighed that they were finally about to rendezvous.
Later, under the guidance of Lan Wuqiu, everyone at Zhujian Peak saw the Heaven and Earth Alliance camp under a cliff. It was already dark, but the lights were still bright in the camp, and patrolling teams were seen wandering around in various tents. Although They all wear different clothes, but there is a white cloth roll tied on the right shoulder of each person, which should be a temporary symbol.
The Zhujianfeng group followed Lan Wuqiu into the camp. Lan Wuqiu told everyone in the camp about the identities of the people at Zhujianfeng behind them. The various Jianghu sects gathered here began to praise and lament Zhujianfeng. Jianfeng's timely rescue will give them a better chance of winning in the future liquidation of Tue Evil Sect and Yangfeng Valley.
After entering the camp to rest, Li Junce ordered someone to come to Lin Manliu and Ning Ke once and told them that they could go to meet the disciples of Yijian Villa first. This made the boy in a short shirt even more confused as to what the meaning was. He originally thought it would be He was coerced by this old fox until he saw Mr. Qiao and Senior Sister Qiao, and then he had time to escape.
Since Lin Manliu was given a chance, even if it was a trap, the young man decided to give it a try.
"Brother Ning, come with me," Lin Manliu said to Ning Ke after bidding farewell to the Sword-making Peak disciples who came to inform them.
Ning Ke nodded and followed Lin Manliu forward. After several inquiries with the patrolling disciples, he learned about the location of Yijian Villa. The first few times he asked those people, they all looked at each other, like I don’t know what this sect is at all.
"Brother Liu's Yijian Villa is not well-known," Ning Ke said jokingly when he saw the young man's embarrassed look.
"It's not important whether you have a good reputation or not." Seeing that the other party was willing to speak, the boy in a short shirt immediately turned to Ning Ke and said with a smile.
Looking at the young man's smile, Ning Ke was puzzled, saying that your reputation at Yijian Villa is still shallow, how can you still smile?
The two of them were finally guided to the Yijian Villa. The size of the camp was much smaller than that of other Jianghu sects. It seemed that only a dozen people were stationed here.
Lin Manliu didn't find it strange. Most of the people in the villa followed Lu Fengbai and rushed directly to Southern Xinjiang. Naturally, there were not many people meeting the Tiandi Alliance this time.
Just as the boy in short shirt was about to say something, he saw the curtain of the tent being lifted up, and a scribe in purple robe walked out of it. He smiled at Lin Manliu.
"I heard from Ji Ting earlier that someone in the camp asked about the location of the villa. I thought it was a little strange that someone would come to us," the purple-robed scribe said softly.
"Meet Mr. Mo" Lin Manliu immediately bowed his hands and said, and the one who walked out of the tent was Mo Wuyan of Yijian Villa.
After Ning Ke saw Mo Wuyan's face, she was stunned on the spot at first, and then she also raised her hands and saluted, but she didn't say anything, and she looked a little reserved and timid?
"You two will follow me into the tent first. There are some things I want to ask." Mo Wuyan turned around and walked into the tent, followed closely by Lin Manliu and Ning Ke.
Entering the tent, the Yijian Villa tent is extremely monotonous. Except for a topographic map of the Qianzhou area spread out in the middle of the tent and an unfinished game of chess next to the main seat, the rest are all trimmed soft materials. Collapsed.
The disciples of Yijian Villa in the tent, seeing Mo Wuyan return to the tent, all raised their hands to salute him. Lin Manliu noticed a person, Ji Ting, whom Mr. Mo had spoken to earlier. The young man in a short shirt also saluted him. The senior sister named Ji Ting naturally noticed Lin Manliu and laughed out loud. Said: "Junior Brother Lin previously traveled half a month ahead of time and was slower than me. Could it be that he got lost?"
"...It's exactly what Senior Sister Ji said," the boy in a short shirt said awkwardly.
"It's okay to have a small talk after you discuss it. Ji Ting will take a few disciples to station outside first. I have something to ask," Mo Wuyan interrupted.
Ji Ting immediately raised his hands and said, "I have the order!" After saying that, he walked directly outside the camp, followed immediately by three or four people who went out to garrison.
Seeing that Mr. Mo had something to tell him, Lin Manliu turned his head and looked at Ning Ke. He wanted to signal Ning Ke to avoid him as much as possible.
"There's no need for this," Mo Wuyan noticed the young man's thoughts and said.
"Uncle, students should stay away..." Ning Ke spoke up before the boy in short shirt could think about the words in Mr. Mo's mouth.
Master...student...Ning Ke actually knows Mr. Mo, and their relationship is extraordinary?
Now it was Lin Man's turn to be confused. He originally thought that Mr. Mo wanted to ask about his whereabouts, or why he was traveling with the disciples of Zhujian Peak. But before Mr. Mo could ask, the boy in short shirt took the lead and didn't know. What's going on now?
"It's okay, I'm just asking about some trivial matters," Mo Wuyan said aloud. After hearing this, Ning Ke had no more words to say, and stood quietly in front of Mo Wuyan, waiting for him to ask questions, just like a teacher in his class who was ready to be taught, and his disciples were all ears.
"Ji Ting has told me everything before the battle at Manliu Maple Leaf Forest. I would like to know how the encounter happened afterwards...were there any soldiers intruding?" Mo Wuyan looked at Lin Manliu and said, talking about the soldiers invading. When it comes to the four characters, the sound is extremely long, but also very small, and other than the three of them, no outsiders can detect it.
"There are people outside Juzhou City, and the Jiang family in Yuezhou may be involved with Zhujian Peak..." Lin Manliu then told Mo Wuyan all the questions he had for the past few days.
The mysterious soldiers encountered outside Juzhou, Mr. Jiang who later intervened to stop him, and then the enshrined Li Junce at Zhujian Peak with unknown intentions...Except for the strange things he saw buried in the Sword Valley, they were all told in words. Because of the strange words of the masked man, he planned to discuss the matter of burying the Sword Valley in detail with his master and the old liar alone.
During this period, Mo Wuyan did not interrupt Lin Man's six words. Instead, he leaned over and looked at the map of Qianzhou next to him. His fingers slid outside the map, as if to point out these dates in detail at places that were not marked on the map. , the route of the boy in a short shirt.
"The Jiang family of Yuezhou has its background entrenched in the north. Zhujianfeng may want to get involved with the court in the north, and he should be planning a way out for himself..." Mo Wuyan hit the nail on the head and directly concluded what Li Junce had in mind. Thoughts.
Before Lin Manliu could think about the pros and cons, Mo Wuyan continued to speak: "Manliu is right to worry. Then Li Junce naturally sees that what you have learned from Sword Making Peak is better than that of other disciples. You must be According to the legend from an expert, he must have guessed that he was able to escape Zhujian Peak in recent years and was not part of his plan."
"Then my trip to Sword Making Peak will harm the master..." After hearing Mo Wuyan start to think about Li Junce's behavior, the young man said immediately.
"Not for the time being. Later, when we attack the enemies of the Evil Sect and Yangfeng Valley, I will arrange for people to help you escape. It is not safe to stay in this Heaven and Earth Alliance." Mo Wuyan raised his hand and said, signaling the young man not to think too much. .
"Well... Manliu would like to thank Mr. Mo," the boy in short shirt said with his hands raised in salute. Later, Mo Wuyan gave some explanations to some of the questions in the young man's mind, as well as the Heaven and Earth Alliance here, and informed Lin Manliu and Ning Ke of the subsequent deployment and arrangements.
