Hearing the "good news" that Ye Ming said, the couple's brows were filled with new worries.
But at this time, Gu Junbo's temperament was very different from before, and he acted like a general. Although he was worried, he did not mess up anymore.
After seeing him thinking for a while, he said decisively:
"Gather your troops and take the initiative to attack Tonghu Village!"
At this time, Gu Junbo was acting rather resolutely.
If we say yes, we will immediately gather people and take action.
They also sent people to plan to catch the zombies to be temporarily killed by the sun tomorrow, and carry them together with the coffin to the foot of Tonghuzhai Mountain to see what would happen.
Now her suspicions about Ye Ming have all disappeared, but she is troubled by the fact that this person is a bit crazy and it is difficult to communicate with him.
Ye Ming followed the army and sat directly on the carriage transporting the baggage, unwilling to take any extra step.
The whole person was crying, laughing, moving and still, and his mental state was very unstable.
When the group arrived at the edge of a forest, they suddenly saw three people appearing in the forest.
It was an old man with a young man and a young girl.
All three of them were dressed as Taoists and looked extremely extraordinary.
When Gu Junbo saw the three people blocking the road, he ordered the team to stop and asked the three people what happened.
The old man said that they came here just to tell them that there would be bad luck in Tonghuzhai and asked Gu Junbo to return and he would be fine.
When asked why, the old man wouldn't tell.
But the girl was talkative and said "retribution".
Later, he was stopped by the old man.
After saying these inexplicable words, the three of them retreated into the forest and disappeared.
Seeing this, Lin Xuexuan was a little frightened.
He always believed in ghosts and gods, and after seeing it with his own eyes, he immediately retreated and did not dare to go forward.
Seeing this, Gu Junbo took the initiative to arrange for someone to send him back.
When Lin Xuexuan heard that the lady had to face it alone, she immediately ignored her fear and expressed her intention to continue going.
Seeing this, Ye Ming just laughed.
The two asked him what he thought of the matter.
The answer I got was "drinking poison to quench thirst".
After Gu Junbo heard this, he thought deeply, determined what he was thinking, and decided not to retreat and continue to the direction of Tonghuzhai.
In the forest, a girl dressed as Kun Dao couldn't help but pout when she saw that the team had not returned.
"Master, let me tell you, these guys are stubborn as hell and they won't listen."
The boy next to him smiled and said:
"Master also said that you should practice Taoism seriously and don't play around. Did you listen?"
"Hmph, can this be the same? What the master said to them is a golden word, and it will come true!"
The girl argued.
"Then to teach you to practice Taoism seriously, is it still the words of Taoist ancestors?"
"You will die if you don't talk back to me for a day, right?"
"Death won't happen, but it will be a lot less fun."
Facing the boy's words, the girl stepped forward and snorted from her nose.
The old man didn't pay attention to the debate between the two of them, and just said:
"That zombie died with great injustice. Even if it is still weak and afraid of the sun, it can continue to regenerate through resentment and is difficult to kill.
Only by waiting for him to vent his greatest resentment can he get rid of it.
It's just that the evil sins committed by Lin's ancestors have been compensated for in reincarnation, and they are still low-level animals being slaughtered by others.
The descendants of the Lin family have nothing to do with it, but they are implicated in it.
We give a little reminder that we have done our best to be kind and righteous.
It is up to them whether they listen or not. "
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, master, if you can figure it out, just tell us when we can complete this errand?"
After taking a trip out, I still feel that it is more comfortable inside the door. "
The girl said without any emotion.
The young man criticized: "Muzhi, as practitioners, we must not have the mentality of being superior to others, otherwise we will easily be confused by demonic obstacles and lose our original intention."
"I know, I know, it's annoying. Why don't you become more master than master? It's already annoying enough with such an old man in charge. Please stop saying a few words!"
The girl named Mu Zhi waved her hands impatiently, even the old man was scolded by her.
The old man tapped her head gently:
"Don't be disrespectful to your elders."
"I know~~"
Mu Zhi stuck out her tongue and asked again,
"Then what do we do next?"
The old man said: "Let's go up and take a look. We can't stop the zombie from killing the descendants of the Lin family, but we must try to prevent it from harming unrelated people as much as possible."
"Yeah, let's see me show off my power then and surrender to it!
A zombie that can't even overcome the sun is easily captured! "
Mu Zhi confidently shook the bracelet on her wrist.
Seeing this, the young man smiled and said:
"Whenever you can eliminate evil things without relying on this treasure, you will be considered to have grown..."
"Shut up, you old mother!"
Seeing Mu Zhi being so impatient, the young man just smiled and didn't mind.
The three of them secretly followed Lin Xuexuan and his wife's team.
The young man and Mu Zhi didn't think anything, but the old man looked at Ye Ming from time to time.
For some reason, he always felt that the other party had been observing them, and even felt like a voyeur.
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be the case. If the opponent's cultivation level is higher than his, then his cultivation level will definitely not be bad.
You should not do anything that would be detrimental to your character like spying on others at will.
With this thought in mind, the old man led his two apprentices to follow him secretly.
Gu Junbo took everyone to the foot of Tonghuzhai Mountain and directly ordered them to camp on the spot.
When the gangsters on the mountain saw this, they were shocked and hurriedly reported to Mr. Li.
When Mr. Li heard that the other party dared to take the initiative, his face twitched, feeling that he was deeply despised.
He quickly looked down on women. He was very unhappy when he saw that the other general was a woman. He didn't expect that he would dare to attack. How could he keep his face?
Hearing that the other party had just started setting up camp, Mr. Li decisively ordered the gangsters who had just reorganized in the past few days to attack.
The bandits who had been unable to capture the city before saw that their opponents were in no danger to defend this time. They no longer feared and rushed down the mountain with shouts.
Gu Junbo had already anticipated this, and ordered his men to set up a formation and personally lead the team to fight the enemy.
Ye Ming sat high on a tree and watched everything, crying and laughing, holding his hands and cheering.
When the girl secretly named Mu Zhi saw this, she couldn't help but say:
"Master, is this the war mentioned in the book?
Why does it look so chaotic? There is no use of any art of war or anything like that. "
The old man said: "The art of war is certainly useful, but it must be timed. This is the time to determine the morale of both sides, and head-on fighting is the best tactic."
"Then who does master think will win?"
The old man stroked his beard and said:
"The blood on Lin's family's heads is a sign of great disaster. I guess they will lose."
Mu Zhi nodded when he heard this, looked at the young man and said:
"Why don't you speak?"
The young man smiled and said, "I was just observing that madman."
Mu Zhi also looked over, but saw that Ye Ming was acting crazy and could not tell anything:
"What's so interesting about that lunatic? He's probably from Yeluzi and has a problem with his practice."
The young man shook his head slightly and said:
"Mu Zhi, don't look down on other colleagues because of your reputation as a famous sect."
"Hey~~ I know, you are really annoying, why don't you just give me a few lectures?"
The girl Mu Zhi had always been convinced by her master's judgment. For the next time, she kept staring at the battlefield, wanting to see how Gu Junbo's side was defeated.
"Hey, master, it seems like too many bandits have died!"
"Uh~~ A little casualty, it doesn't hurt, the advantage is still there."
"Master, look, some of the bandits are starting to escape."
"...This is a tactic, a tactic, the woman's head is bloody..."
"Master, the bandits have retreated, but the woman is not dead. Who is the winner?"
"Ahem, Mu Zhi, when we look at things, we need to take a long-term view.
This battle is just a trial between the two sides. It is far from over, and the victory has not yet been decided. "
"But, Master, the officers and soldiers started cheering and celebrating. Doesn't this count as a victory?"
"This... superficial phenomenon needs to be looked at more deeply. They are playing away from home, so their chances of winning are slim."
The old man had a toothache and stroked his beard. Then he carefully observed Gu Junbo and Lin Xuexuan. He saw that the blood on their heads was even brighter than before, so he felt certain and continued:
"Muzhi, believe it or not, this small victory will be their last victory. After this, they will be defeated."
Seeing the master's solemn expression, Mu Zhi nodded:
"If the master says so, it must be true."
As for the officers and soldiers, after repelling the bandits who came down the mountain to attack, everyone's confidence increased and they set up camp again.
This time, no one dared to interfere with them.
Gu Junbo wiped off the blood on the sword with a rag. He saw that after killing several people in a row, the sword did not curl its blade. Instead, it shone with cold light, and there was a murderous aura. He couldn't help but nodded.
I didn't expect that my sword was so powerful. It was just used as decoration before, which was really a waste.
Everyone camped to rest. At night, the bandits took turns beating gongs and drums at the intersection, yelling and cursing, and attacking, disturbing everyone's sleep.
On the contrary, it was the bandits themselves who took turns sending people to create noise, and they had a stronghold for defense, so they could rest.
Seeing this, Gu Junbo also frowned and divided his men into three teams, taking turns to guard and take a rest.
But under such circumstances, it was impossible for everyone to really fall asleep, they were all just lying down.
After staying up all night, my mental state is not very good.
Seeing this, Gu Junbo also frowned. She originally planned to attack the mountain after dawn. Now it seems that the person commanding the other party has some tricks. If the bandits themselves were not so bad, I am afraid that she would have been defeated long ago.
Seeing this, the old man in the forest stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"After a night of fatigue, it will be difficult to regain the previous momentum. The officers and soldiers will be demoralized and will no longer have the advantage."
Seeing that these people were indeed in a bad state, Mu Zhi couldn't help but nod her head and agreed with her master's words.
Seeing this, the young man on the side smiled and looked at the officers and soldiers without saying anything.
Just when Gu Junbo was worried, Lin Xuexuan came up with a solution.
It turns out that they often sing opera at night, and some people tend to be sleepy at this time.
Over time, some people developed soups to boost their spirits.
It would be appropriate to cook it as breakfast for everyone at this time.
After drinking the soup, everyone felt much better and their tiredness disappeared a lot.
Seeing this, Mu Zhi in the forest looked at the old man with some doubts:
"master?"
The old man looked embarrassed. He put one hand in his sleeve and secretly calculated with his fingers.
Later, I heard him say again:
"Just now, it was an accident. I dare to declare that their first round of attacking the mountain will definitely return without success."
As he spoke, looking at his apprentice's distrustful eyes, the old man added,
"If I make another mistake this time, I will punish myself as a teacher by copying the "Tao Ancestor Sutra" ten times!"
Seeing that the master said this, Mu Zhi felt that she could still trust the master, nodded and said:
"No matter what the master said, I believe what the master said..."
Not long after the conversation between the two ended, they saw Gu Junbo leading his men to launch an attack on Tonghu Village.
This battle lasted until ten minutes at noon, and the situation between the two sides was tense.
Mr. Na Li has all kinds of conspiracies and tricks in his hands, and a large number of underhanded methods make people scold him.
Gu Junbo and others, who had little experience in this kind of battlefield at the beginning, suffered a lot.
But as Gu Junbo began to learn how to deal with it, problems such as the bandits' loose discipline and improvised disunity gradually came to light.
After the first battle, the government and army successfully captured four lookout towers and two important strongholds on the periphery of Tonghuzhai, approaching the main stronghold.
The old man observing in the forest almost pulled off his beard when he saw this.
Seeing this, Mu Zhi looked at her master and said quietly:
"Master, you always keep your word, and you never break your promise, right?"
