Yamazaki's prediction was correct or not. This place was just a stronghold, and Lord Lu was just a corner of the anti-Zhao alliance, but it was relatively independent.
Lu San'er went off to war a few years later, crossing the mountains to help with robberies.
Although the journey is long, the safety of the villa is guaranteed.
As the saying goes, rabbits don’t eat grass near their nests.
…
However, February 5th.
I don't know where the clue was exposed. Maybe those people before had told someone around them that they would come here, and the official found out.
In short, the government tracked down Huishui Village.
More than a dozen officials came, all of whom were masters with magical powers.
The official asked the village chief to call all the villagers for a meeting at the head of the village.
Yamazaki didn't go and slipped away with Gu Ling'er, because now that he's here, it's not that easy to fool him.
It can even be said that the more confused you are, the more problems you will have.
After all, the strength of these officials is not much higher, and the people in the village can still deal with them.
It's just that when it comes to fighting, there's no point in fisting or kicking, so they'd better hide.
…
Sure enough, the village chief tried to fool him, but it aroused suspicion.
There was nothing he could do about it, so he could only fight.
Compared to the dozen or so official officials, the villagers had more strength in numbers and were the first to strike. With a flying axe, none of the villagers were killed and they took care of all the official officials.
However, there were more than twenty people injured by Guan Cha's Qi Control Flying Sword.
…
The village couldn't wait any longer, so the village chief led everyone to pack their things and go up the mountain together.
When it got dark, he rested in a cave.
Yamazaki walked around the cave and determined that it was manually dug to facilitate the entry and exit of people inside and outside the mountains.
The next day we walked at sunrise and entered the cave again at sunset.
The third day was the same, and the fourth day was the same, but there were people guarding the cave.
To be precise, there are ghosts guarding it. They are invisible and have no substance, so they are suitable for warning.
…
After resting for one night, the next day we passed through a cave that was two miles long and entered a canyon.
The valley seems to be full of trees, but they are actually transformed by formations.
In the Nine Palaces Formation of the Wood Element, you must first find the corresponding big tree according to the time and bump into it before you can enter the formation.
In the center of the formation is a manor with a lake. Most of the buildings in the manor are made of wood, and they should be made from local materials.
In other words, it has been decades since Dawu was destroyed.
…
Master Lu personally went out to greet the village chief and his entourage, and asked them to stay temporarily to avoid the limelight before making any plans.
Shan Qi and Gu Ling'er were assigned to a room and settled there.
There was food rationing at the village, but Yamazaki didn't want it, so he counted it with bigu pills.
The owner of the village did not force him after hearing this. After all, there were hundreds of people on the farm and food was in short supply.
…
The village is dominated by the Lu family, followed by their in-laws.
There are dozens of masters, hundreds of servants, and hundreds of clan soldiers.
Now that the clan soldiers are out, the Haishui villagers have taken over their houses.
From Yamazaki's point of view, they are actually living quite comfortably here, but now they are involved in the chaos and mob, and the good times will not last long.
It just depends on when the court can free up its hands.
…
Fast forward to May 2, and the clan soldiers who had gone out came back.
Lujiazhuangzi suddenly became lively, and at the same time, a notice was issued that the villagers of Yishui Village were preparing to move tomorrow.
Yamazaki approached Master Lu, but he was busy arranging the clan soldiers and counting the supplies they brought back, and had no time to talk to Yamazaki. He asked the housekeeper to tell Yamazaki that we would talk tomorrow.
Yamazaki didn't leave, and asked the housekeeper to tell Master Lu that the court's pursuers had arrived, and if he didn't leave now, it would be too late.
This immediately frightened Master Lu, "Why did Mr. Shan say this?"
"Stop being alarmist."
The person who spoke was Mr. Cheng, the brother-in-law of the village owner. He was a teacher from the private school in the village. Although he looked like a scholar, he also had the power to spread pills and was good at flying swordsmanship.
Yamazaki handed over his hand, "The imperial court is determined to defeat the rebellious party. After the villagers in Huishui Village killed the official, the whole village disappeared, and the government will definitely not give up."
"The actions of the villagers can be traced, and the government will definitely be able to find out that they are heading into the mountains."
Master Lu frowned, "If you want to come, they have already arrived."
Yamasaki continued his analysis, "It's difficult to find in the vast mountains and forests, but as long as you take the time, you can always find the traces left by the villagers."
"Fortunately, this village has a formation to cover it up, so we can avoid being traced."
"But there must be someone from the government staying in the mountains to investigate, and the people who went out this time came back with a large amount of goods, which will definitely cause trouble."
Mr. Cheng was dissatisfied, "No way, how could it be such a coincidence!"
Yamazaki made a last-ditch effort, "People from the government must have found this canyon and guessed that there is a formation."
"Maybe tomorrow morning, officers and soldiers will fall from the sky."
"When the time comes, no one in the village will be spared."
"It's up to the owner to believe it or not."
"Ha, tomorrow morning?" Mr. Cheng laughed, "I'm not trying to pick on you, but the time is really unacceptable. If you want to fight, it will be at night."
Yamazaki explained calmly: "The officers and soldiers are completely sure, so they naturally choose the morning time."
"The visibility was good at that time, and there was enough time in the daylight to hunt us down and catch us all."
"In case the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, some of us can take advantage of the chaos and escape."
Master Lu, Mr. Cheng, and the chief steward looked at each other in confusion.
What Yamazaki said was so eloquent that I couldn't help but believe it.
It's just that the foundation that has been built up over the years cannot be given up just because it is given up.
Yamazaki noticed it and said goodbye, "I have said everything I need to say. I would like to thank the owner for taking me in and take my leave."
Yamazaki said he wanted to leave, but Master Lu quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Don't be impatient, Mr. Shan, let us discuss it later."
"Old man moves slowly. It's better for the stupid bird to fly first. He just happens to have a few talismans on his way. The village owner doesn't have to worry about old man's whereabouts being exposed."
Yamazaki bowed his hands again, then walked around Master Lu and walked away.
Mr. Cheng was also undecided, "Brother-in-law, what about this?"
"Butler, let me know and let's have a meeting together."
"Yes, sir."
…
Yamazaki went to Lu San'er and told him to be careful.
Then without asking him what he meant, he turned around and left under his strange expression of disbelief.
He is now subordinate to Zhuangzi and is not a free person. He cannot leave just as he wants, otherwise he would have been on his way alone.
…
Yamazaki and Gu Ling'er met at the intersection, formed the formation together, and then used the magic talisman to escape.
Instead of taking the right path, he walked directly over the mountain, so that Zhuangzi's route of action would not be exposed.
He was spotted by an official on the road, but he couldn't catch up and didn't even see his shadow.
The two of them rushed straight for more than a thousand miles without stopping, and then they stopped in another mountain and found a natural cave to stay.
Anyway, both of them are ghosts, so they don't actually need to eat.
…
On the other side, the Lujiazhuang meeting was not successful.
After procrastination, everyone doubted Yamazaki's guess.
Finally, we all agreed that we should explore the surroundings carefully before making a conclusion.
Master Lu and other Sandan masters went to investigate in person and found that some people were indeed wandering in the mountains, and they were patrolling in pairs.
Although he is dressed like a mountaineer, there have been no mountaineers nearby, let alone so many.
