Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi did not appear in the team entering the mountain this time. They had left here as early as yesterday.
Yesterday evening...
Under Ye Dangting's arrangement, the disciples of Yijian Villa began to chop the tables and chairs apart.
But while everyone was busy, a person walked slowly towards the gate of the dilapidated villa.
The one who came was the four "cold souls" of the eight generals - Meng Xiuyan.
Ye Dangting didn't talk to him, so the latter just said, "Get ready."
Just as the young man who came to deliver the message was about to leave, Ye Dang kicked Lin Manliu in the butt without hesitation.
Lin Manliu, who was busy at that time, almost fell to pieces.
Before he even got up, he had already been clearly arranged by the old liar.
"Man Liu and the others will go with you later. I still need to take people to sneak into the mountain to observe the battle situation..."
"Um..."
Meng Xiuyan asked again, do you want help?
The old liar in yellow shirt laughed out loud and responded, "Of course I want it!"
From that moment on, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi separated from Yijian Villa...
Meng Xiuyan brought Quexie's belongings and found a quiet way up the mountain for Yijian Villa.
And he led Lin Man and six others all the way to the southwest. It was not until dark that they arrived at a hunting ground in the mountains.
Meng Xiuyan told the two of them not to inform anyone of their whereabouts, and then disappeared on the mountain road.
In the end, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi were left at the entrance of the hunting ground.
Not long after, a group of Yanyang generals in full body armor emerged from the hunting grounds. They were even more familiar than Meng Xiuyan!
Rongcheng guard general, Li Yanhe.
The young man's eyes lit up and he shouted to the other party.
"General Li Yanhe, how did you end up here?"
Li Yanhe was greatly surprised when he found out that the person coming was Lin Manliu.
He said: "We have to travel tomorrow. You two will go to the camp to rest for a while. Later, Man Liu and I will briefly discuss Brother Ye's arrangements!"
Then, under the guidance of Li Yanhe, the two entered the hunting ground.
In this mountain hunting ground sixty or seventy miles away from Dongdu, there are only a few flickering fires at the moment, but as long as you get closer, you can still see the magnificent scenery at this moment.
The entire hunting ground was almost filled with tents, and from time to time Yanyang soldiers shuttled back and forth from various military tents.
However, everyone had a tacit understanding. No one wanted to make any noise, and there was very little eye contact between them.
Not long after, the three of them entered a military tent.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Manliu saw several familiar figures.
Elder Li Simin of Fengxue Grand View Tower, the new director of Star Viewing Temple, Taoist Shuangzhi, the two worshipers of Zhujian Peak, Li Junce and Qiao Ruichen, and Elder Li who took over the leadership of Xunhan Mountain...
The rest were the talkers from the various factions of the Earth Alliance in the past, but now it seems that half of the Earth Alliance has arrived.
The only person missing was the leader of Wenjian Lake, Mingxi.
Li Yanhe first greeted Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi to take their seats, and then walked to the center of the camp.
He looked around for a week, clasped his fists and said: "Now we are all together. With everyone's help in the future, the troubled times will be brought to an end soon!"
Most of the sects that had contact with Yijian Villa also knew Lin Manliu, and no one had the intention to speak.
On the contrary, there were a few people who were in the ground hat before and did not dare to speak out due to Mingxi's pressure. They looked at the young man with extremely vicious eyes.
Before the big brothers in the chair could say anything, someone had already started to take the lead.
"I heard what General Li said earlier about how Yijian Villa behaves, but today they sent two inexperienced children here. What do they mean?"
Li Yanhe looked at the man with strange eyes, and the latter immediately shrank his neck and stopped speaking.
The rest of the busybodies who wanted to join in the limelight gave up their thoughts when they saw Li Yanhe's response.
But in their eyes, Yijian Villa, which had been living on a living ever since it opened, was not qualified to work with them at all.
What's more, in today's situation where the safety of the family and the country is in danger, it is even more difficult for the Yijian Villa to teach him a word.
Those dirty tricks behind the scenes are not going to work in this battle now!
Li Yanhe spoke aloud: "Li walked all the way from Jiannan to the east and north to here. Li knows the thoughts of all the people who are traveling with him! It's all for the eternal safety of the family and the country. Everyone please work together, so that we can overcome all difficulties!"
At this point, Li Simin from Fengxue Grand View Tower finally spoke up.
"All of you are more or less aware of the current situation, but no one has escaped from the world like Mingxi. In this way, our purpose is the same, and our future direction will be the same!"
Li Junce also coughed and said: "In the early years of the unification, my generation of Jianghu people worked together with Yan Yang at that time. Now that the mountains and rivers are turbulent again, it is time for our generation to seek peace!"
The "beautiful words" uttered by the three people together can always take away the concerns of those present discussing the matter.
Regardless of whether he agrees with it or not, he can only speak along with the tone of San Rao's words at this moment.
"But go ahead. Regarding the recent massacre of the evil sect, it was only through the concerted efforts of our Jianghu sects and the Yanyang military's efforts to suppress it that we can eradicate those troublemakers!"
"General Li's prestige along the way is obvious to all of us. We can trust General Li!"
"Yes! General Li has explained everything he can to us. Who can't see that a traitor is in charge now?"
The originally quiet military tent suddenly became a little cheerful.
Regardless of the Jianghu sects that have had any festivals in the past, now they are "gathering together happily", and no one will give the other sects a bad name just to embarrass the other.
Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi did not express any opinions during the entire discussion, and just followed Li Yanhe's wishes and sat quietly in the tent to rest.
After everyone's discussion was over and they decided what they should pay attention to when setting off tomorrow, these gossips from the Jianghu sect said goodbye to Li Yanhe one after another and left.
After seeing the guests off, only Lin Man and six others were left in the military tent.
Li Yanhe asked: "Did you understand just now? Do you want me to tell you more details?"
The young man shook his head and said: "We already understand the general situation. If there is anything we don't understand, I will ask General Li personally!"
Yue Hanzhi's impression of Li Yanhe came from Lin Manliu's previous chat with Zheng Zheng.
Now she really saw it, and found that she was better than Lin Manliu, even worse.
Li Yanhe nodded, but he seemed to still have some doubts in his heart, so he asked the boy straight to the point.
"Brother Ye, what are his plans and why do he insist on staying there?"
Lin Manliu thought to himself that he couldn't tell the old liar from Ye Chengzhu. They had made arrangements in advance, right?
He could only say: "The old liar is worried about changes in the mountain, so he wants to go into the mountain to have a look..."
Li Yanhe's face flashed with astonishment for a moment, but it quickly returned to its original state.
He looked extremely ugly and said: "Brother Ye is acting... Why are you acting as recklessly as a child... Why don't you wait until we are all here before acting..."
Lin Manliu said: "Actually, whether it is these Jianghu sects or the soldiers who responded to General Li's call along the way, they still lack a reason, a reason for them to really take action..."
While the two were talking, they both looked at each other.
At this moment, Yue Hanzhi pinched the young man's waist, and Lin Manliu immediately endured the pain and begged for mercy.
"Right now...right now..."
Li Yanhe took this scene into his eyes, shook his head and laughed.
Lin Manliu explained: "A few of these Jianghu sects may be chivalrous at heart, but most of them still follow the trend, just like the previous earth alliance, and most of the soldiers from various places recruited by General Li are like this. "
The Jianghu sects gathered together today were probably all driven to this point by Que Xie.
After all, since the Earth Alliance was leaderless, many sects such as Star Viewing Tower, Fengxue Grand Viewing Tower, and Xunhan Mountain have become the bellwethers in the world today.
These sects have one thing in common, the driving force behind them is Quexie.
Whether they are those who are interested in pursuing thieves or those who follow the trend, they all gather here.
The governors of various prefectures and cities who responded to Li Yanhe's call or were recruited were willing to provide help and send soldiers because they were afraid of the vacillation in Xijing and the rising sun flag in Li Yanhe's hand.
If anything is missing from these two, I am afraid that Li Yanhe, who is traveling eastward, will be blocked halfway and unable to take another step forward.
Lin Manliu continued to explain: "And half of their reasons are the chaos that General Li said is about to happen, and the other half is the famous banner of the division. The latter is almost ready for the old liar."
As soon as Jiang Yanlin's identity is made public, there will be people who can respond to the situation.
Then before doing it again, they need to have a battle that can demonstrate their strength so that outsiders can continue to bet on them.
So this trip to the Jialan Temple in the Eastern Capital is an opportunity!
The young man needed to explain what happened next. Li Yanhe patted Lin Manliu on the shoulder a few times.
He said aloud: "I will arrange a place for you two to rest tonight, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."
Lin Manliu hummed and bowed to Li Yanhe.
This move is too common.
But Li Yanhe said with a faint smile: "Actually, there is no need to be so reserved when you are six years old. I think Miss Yue is also a sensible person. I was just teasing you just now."
Yue Hanzhi was told by Li Yanhe what he was thinking, and he quickly turned his head and looked away.
She hesitated and said: "This person imitates that old liar, it sounds annoying to me..."
Lin Manliu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, is Hanzhi really like General Li?
It seems so?
When he was in Yue Mansion, he had already gone through the current situation with Yue Hanzhi, as well as the bargaining chip in the hands of Yijian Villa.
The young man himself didn't react just now, and subconsciously thought that Yue Hanzhi didn't understand these things very well.
Yue Hanzhi seemed to hear that there was no movement around him, and immediately turned his head to look back.
I found that Lin Manliu was just looking at me, without saying anything or giving any follow-up explanation.
She asked: "Lin Manliu, you don't really think..."
The young man quickly waved his hand and said: "Hanzhi, I didn't think of it for a moment..."
Before he could continue his quibbles, Yue Hanzhi's brain exploded on the young man's forehead.
"Do you think that because you have seen so much of the world, you are missing an ignorant girl who has not experienced the world deeply?"
"Still think I can't figure these things out, or do you think I won't have to figure them out in the future?"
"Mother, you are absolutely right. The men below all look the same. As long as they get the benefit... they feel that women are just objects to display their status!"
After several questions in a row, the young man could not answer any of them. Even if he could explain, he would not dare to explain.
Li Yanhe couldn't help it any longer, and he laughed out loud: "Really, Miss Yue and Manliu, you two are almost exactly the same as when I first met Miss Eleven and Brother Ye..."
Lin Manliu subconsciously said: "Master and the others were like this before?"
Yue Hanzhi said in words: "How can he continue to imitate that old liar? No!"
