"Huchihuchi..." Several rough wild boar calls rang out in the mist, and spread far away in this silent environment.
"This beast comes out to steal food again. When you fall into the trap, I will make you into bacon." Hearing this cry, someone yelled and cursed from the side.
But here, Ye Ying secretly gave Zhao Hu a thumbs up. At the critical moment, Zhao Hu's lifelike voice successfully deceived the patrolling bandits.
Relying on the cover of the mist, Ye Ying and his party quietly followed Chen Tianshun. The terrain here was really complex. It was a reed swamp, and then it was a path up the mountain. There were many forked roads along the way. Fortunately, Chen Tianshun didn't walk too fast, so the three of them wouldn't lose him.
In order to avoid getting lost, the three of them left road signs on the roadside that only a few of them could understand while walking.
At this moment, Ye Ying and others couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they could successfully follow Chen Tianshun. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find the direction among so many complicated roads.
No wonder the officers and soldiers failed to destroy Yunze Village so many times, not to mention that the waterway was not easy to travel, even if they got here. Officers and soldiers who are not familiar with the roads may be attacked countless times by bandits on the road before they can find Yunze Village.
"The second master is back!" After walking for almost half an hour, he finally heard a voice coming from the front.
Ye Ying raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw vague black shadows in the thick fog in front of him. If he took a few steps forward, he could see the outline of the building.
"We can't go any further." Ye Ying gently called to Zhao Hu and Gan De who were standing aside, because at this time, he had already discovered that there were people in front of him, and there were more than one people, and they were not in the same direction.
"No wonder the officers and soldiers failed to destroy Yunze Village so many times. Their awareness of defense is really high, and they actually know how to send out whistles and secret whistles." Ye Ying thought in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he learned from several masters. Otherwise, the other party's ambush would not be discovered.
Under the leadership of Ye Ying, the three people left the trail in the mountain and moved forward little by little with the help of trees and stones in the mountain. Not long after, a wooden village gate appeared in front of their eyes. Although it is not clear what is written on the huge plaque, it is not difficult to guess that this is the famous Yunze Village.
Not daring to get too close to the bandit's stronghold, Ye Ying and others had no choice but to walk around the huge stronghold and check the outside.
After roughly seeing the terrain here, Ye Ying had a new understanding of Kuang Zhaolei, the leader of Yunze Village. It seemed that he was a very clever guy who was difficult to deal with.
The location of Yunze Village is very selective. It is located on a large platform on the mountainside. There is only one mountain road from bottom to top to reach the village. There are steep slopes at both ends of this road. If someone wants to attack the stronghold, they will be attacked by the stronghold gate and the steep cliffs on both sides at the same time.
Behind the mountain village is a cliff, dozens of meters high, which acts as a natural barrier. If someone wants to climb up from the cliff behind, it will be very difficult, and at the same time, they will be easily defended by the people above.
On one side of the cottage is the road leading to the mountains, making the vast mountainous area the rear of the cottage. If the cottage cannot be defended, the bandits can escape into the mountains.
After seeing clearly the environment of the village, Ye Ying and others were even more relieved as to why Yunze Village had been standing here for more than 20 years and had never been breached.
Perhaps he was overconfident. The wall of the village was not very high. According to Ye Ying's skills, he could easily enter the village, but he did not do so. Because even though there was still some distance between them, Ye Ying could also tell that there were a lot of people in the village. If the guys inside were alerted, it would be very difficult for the three of them to escape.
"It seems we have to spend one night here." Nightingale looked at Zhao Hu and Gan De beside her and said helplessly.
There were many dense forests and rocks on the hillside. Ye Ying and the others quickly found a small, hidden and dry cave and used it as a temporary shelter.
Fortunately, they had considered this possible situation before, and all three of them had prepared dry food and water in advance, enough to stay here for several days.
The second watch is the time when most people sleep most soundly. Most of the bandits in Zeyun Village have fallen into a deep sleep. Even the two people guarding the gate of the village are yawning.
No one noticed that at a corner of the village, a figure quickly ran to the wall of the village like a monkey, and then jumped into the village.
The person who entered Zeyun Village at night was Ye Ying. The purpose of his trip was to take advantage of the night to check the layout of the village and prepare for the future attack.
It is very dark tonight, and it seems to be a sign of imminent rain. However, such a dark night is a troublesome thing for ordinary people, but it is not a problem in front of Ye Ying?
Although he is not very familiar with the terrain here, Ye Ying's hearing is extremely strong and he can detect someone as soon as he approaches. In this way, he relied on the cover of night and kept observing every corner of the village.
With his superb skills, he stayed awake in the village for half an hour and walked through most of the village without being noticed by anyone.
Just now, Ye Ying entered the large wooden house where the bandits slept, heard the roaring sounds inside, and found that the bandits actually placed their weapons not far away when they were sleeping. It seemed that they were still very vigilant.
Near the cliff near the lake, Ye Ying found several rooms with lights on, and quietly sneaked over to take a look. It turned out that the cooks were preparing breakfast for the bandits.
There was a separate cabin closest to the cliff. There were two bandits staying in the house, looking boredly in the direction of the cliff, apparently to guard against someone climbing up the cliff.
At this time, Ye Ying had almost finished checking the entire cottage, leaving only the last small courtyard in the center of the cottage.
After walking to several places in a row, no one found Ye Ying. It seemed that although there were many people in the village, there were no masters. This relieved the tension in his heart a lot.
What he was going to next was Ye Ying's last destination on his trip, which was a small independent courtyard at the end of the village. It seemed to be a more important place, because there were actually several bandits standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
This scene immediately aroused Ye Ying's interest. He quietly walked around to the hiding place, jumped into the courtyard, and found that there were several independent rooms here. It seemed that someone lived here.
Ye Ying quietly climbed up to the roof of a room, uncovered the tiles on the roof, and looked inside. Since the light in the room was too dark, no one could see clearly. She noticed that there was no one in the room, so she decided to go there. Go check inside the house.
Ye Ying quickly came down from the eaves. When he arrived at a wooden window, he gently opened the wooden window and stepped into the hut.
The light in the room was very dark, but it did not faze Ye Ying. It didn't take him long to adapt to the light here, and the outline of the furnishings in the room appeared in front of him.
The furnishings in the house are much better than the place where the bandits slept just now that Ye Ying saw. There is actually a separate wooden bed. This thing is only available to the rich among the common people. It seems that this is the most popular among the bandits. A place where important people live.
As time passed, he saw the contents of the house more clearly, and could now tell that it was a place where a single man lived.
Because he didn't hear anyone moving outside the house, Ye Ying became bolder and began to look through some things in the house. In fact, the person who lives here doesn't have many things, mainly some weapons and clothing.
Finally, Ye Ying judged the identity of the owner of the house from a piece of clothing placed on a wooden shelf. It was Chen Tianshun who Ye Ying and others were following during the day. But why was Chen Tianshun not in his house at this time?
After leaving the house where Chen Tianshun lived, Ye Ying inspected several other rooms in the courtyard, and found that there were rooms where servants lived, and some of the rooms were occupied by female relatives. Now he was more certain that this was where the Yunze Village bandits lived. Where high-rise residents live.
Suddenly there was a burst of lightning and thunder in the sky, and soon it started to rain. However, the rain did not cause Ye Ying any trouble, but instead brought some convenience to his stealth.
After checking several houses, Ye Ying finally found Chen Tianshun in a room with lights on. At this time, he was sitting there with a very elegant-looking middle-aged man.
On the table in front of the two of them, there was a wine jar, and there were many snacks on the table. The two of them were still drinking here at such a late hour.
"Second brother, don't be too depressed at this time. One day, brother will help you take off that old guy Lu Tianzhao's head and use it as a chamber pot." The elegant middle-aged man picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine for Lu Tianzhao. said.
"Brother, after so many years, I can't sleep at night every time I think of the blood feud between my family. This time, eldest brother devoted all his efforts and even killed several brothers to create such a good opportunity for me, but I wasted it. , I hate it when I think about it!" After Chen Tianshun said this, he picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
By this time, Ye Ying was finally able to confirm that this elegant middle-aged man was actually Kuang Zhaolei, the bandit leader in Yunze. However, Ye Ying never imagined that this notorious bandit would actually look like a weak scholar.
"Second brother, don't worry. Now that Lu Tianzhao is no longer an official, there are far fewer people around him to protect him. We will have many opportunities in the future." At this time, Kuang Zhaolei's voice came to Ye Ying's ears again.
"It's not that guy, I succeeded this time." Chen Tianshun was obviously still a little unwilling, and he punched the table hard.
"But second brother, the young officer you mentioned is somewhat extraordinary. Not only is his kung fu very high, but his judgment ability is also extraordinary. If our village had such a person, it would be much stronger." Kuang Zhaolei was standing aside again. said.
"Brother, you are kidding. This young man is obviously around sixteen or seventeen years old. He is already an officer. It seems that he is also highly valued in the Mad Lion Army. He will definitely not join us." Chen Tianshun shook his head and said .
Ye Ying could now understand that the young man the two mentioned was himself, and couldn't help but secretly feel a little funny. These two people might never have imagined that he would be so close to them right now.
The two of them were drinking and chatting in the room, but Ye Ying, who was lying on the roof, felt a little uncomfortable. In order not to make any noise, he didn't move at the same spot. Even though he was already a second-level middle-level warrior, he was still in the middle of the room. I feel some back pain.
"Who is it?" Kuang Zhaolei, who was talking to Chen Tianshun, suddenly raised his head and shouted.
This sudden shout made Ye Ying startled. He had just moved a little because of numbness in his legs and only made a weak sound. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Kuang Zhaolei.
From this point alone, it was not difficult for Ye Ying to judge that the bandit leader, who looked like a frail scholar, was actually far better than himself in martial arts.
Should you run or stay here? Now a difficult problem is placed in front of Ye Ying.
