There is no solution to this question.
After a long while, Ye Wumian walked to the bedroom, took out the gorgeous maid's clothes and the important items in her arms, including "The Record of the Forgotten World", "Lv Ye Shu Huai Sword Technique", etc., and put them into a box. .
Of the two swords, only one with a dragon scale iron sheath was tied around his waist.
There was a secret compartment under the floor, which he discovered while groping around in the room during his free time these past two days. It came in handy at this time.
He hid the box and the pine pattern sword in a secret room, and threw Zhang Daqiu's fifty taels of personal money into it.
Then, he pulled the lock tightly.
It's windy and rainy outside. It must be inconvenient to carry these things with you, so let's keep them here for a while.
. . .
Regarding the meeting, Luo Fanxi's letter only mentioned a date: September 26, but did not specify when it was.
Ye Wumian was afraid of missing the appointment, so when he arrived, all the manpower had already been arranged in place, waiting for Director Wu and his party to arrive.
It's still raining in the sky, the kind of rain whose temper is unclear.
If the normal rain is heavy and rapid, it will probably not last long and may stop at any time; if it is light and slow, it will probably rain for a long time, and you must be prepared for it to rain continuously for several hours.
As for the unpredictable rain, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes with a bit of wind, making people howl in the cold. Some people who gathered from the north slope of the mountain also said that there was hail on the north slope all night last night. , several unlucky brothers were all bruised in the face, and the worst one even had his nose crooked.
It can be seen that it is difficult to predict when the clouds will stop and the rain will stop.
On the official road at the foot of the mountain, two eunuchs, Xu and Hai, each wearing a brown raincoat and a pointed bamboo hat, followed closely behind Ye Wumian with simple swords in their hands.
I only wore a hat and no raincoat during the sleepless night. The rain hit the areas that his hat could not cover. After a while, water vapor began to evaporate.
The internal force in his meridians moves forward and backward at the same time. It is really a trivial matter to evaporate this little rainwater. But the two guards were dumbfounded.
The more rain fell on him, the heavier the white mist wrapped around him. From the back, it was almost as if he was walking in the clouds and mist, floating like a fairy.
The two minions were in awe, but at the same time they found it very interesting. They felt proud to be by the master's side. They winked at the younger brothers who were ambushing behind them and boasted silently.
Ye Wumian took the two of them and patrolled the official road at the foot of the mountain twice, but no one came.
Near noon, the rain was still falling.
He turned back to the two of them and said, "You two have been stuck in the rain all morning. You two can go change your raincoats first. Let me walk alone for a while. You two will come when I call you two."
The two eunuchs clasped their fists and accepted the order.
Walking alone in the night, I suddenly remembered a detail in Luo Fanxi's letter.
"As mentioned in the letter, the secret code for connection is, let me first say, 'It's too hot, gentlemen, could you please take a break?' I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time, but now that I think about it, it's very inappropriate. Today is another day. It’s raining and cold, so why do you think it’s hot?”
However, a secret code is a secret code after all, it is the key to unlocking a dark area. It is unique and cannot be easily changed.
Even if there is snow in the sky today and three feet of ice on the ground, the code of "it's too hot" still cannot be changed.
He walked in the rain for another two hours, and the water vapor on his body became more and more, almost forming a cloud, covering him layer by layer.
As he moved, the clouds rolled on the ground.
The minions hiding in the dark were all amazed when they saw it, and they all said in their hearts: With such a strong leader sitting in charge, even if the Changsha army comes to attack in the future, it will be difficult for us to get any benefits.
It gets dark early in winter, and it's raining. Shen Shi has passed and Unity has come, so the light in the distance is already very dim.
Ye Wumian looked towards the official road in the distance. Due to the light and rain and fog, there was no one in his field of vision.
By this time, it had been raining all day. Instead of getting lighter, it was getting heavier.
It was blown sideways by the wind, and the rain came in waves, ignoring the hat, hitting the face, ears, and eyes slantingly. If you don't use your internal strength to resist, there will still be some pain.
Ye Wumian thought: "It's already so late. I'm afraid that Chief Wu and his party won't come, right?"
He felt 30% disappointed, but 70% relieved. He gave a wry smile that was indescribable.
After wandering alone for about a quarter of an hour, it was completely dark. The rain was getting heavier, and the trees nearby were severely damaged, with many branches and leaves falling off.
Ye Wumian looked into the distance. Dark clouds were billowing in the southwest sky, covering the place where the sun was setting, blocking out any light. Looking from a distance, it was quite heart-stopping.
I wonder what kind of state of mind the person under the dark cloud is in at this time?
While looking at the sky, the misty sound of rain was interspersed with the sound of footsteps.
Ye Wumian turned his head and looked around. One of the eunuchs, with raindrops running down his face, ran over anxiously. When he saw him, he clasped his fists and said, "Master, about two meals of dry food, we were on the official road three miles away. , a group of people appeared, pushing several carts of goods, dressed as salesmen, but they are somewhat similar to the 'brothers on the road' you called them, and they came here to report to you."
Ye Wumian's spirit perked up, and a string in his heart gradually became tense. He hurriedly asked the guard Taibao: "Can you see clearly, how many people are there?"
The minion Taibao said: "The younger brother and his brothers counted them twice. Both times, there were thirteen people and six mules pulling three carts. The carts were covered with oilcloth. It was so dark that it was difficult to see what they were. "
Ye Wumian recalled the words in the letter, nodded and said: "It's probably them. You continue to lead the people on guard and don't act rashly. If there are officers and soldiers coming to attack, set off firecrackers."
The eunuch Taibao smiled bitterly and said: "It has been raining all day, and we are all ambushing in the wilds on both sides of the official road. The firecrackers are almost soaked by the rain. If the thieves and the army really come to kill us, our firecrackers may not be able to do anything. I can’t report the letter.”
Ye Wumian said: "Before you fell into the grass, you should have been a farmer chopping firewood to feed the dogs. Don't you understand the principle that 'wet firewood is afraid of fierce fire'? You don't care if it is soaked or soaked, just light it all at once, no matter how wet the firecracker is, it will Explode. If not, I will blow your head off!"
He imitated Zhang Daqiu's unreasonable behavior, frightening the little Taibao out of his wits.
How dare this guy find any excuse? He quickly swore to heaven that he would not delay the important business of the big boss.
Ye Wumian waved him back.
After dismissing the eunuch Taibao, Wu Mianye summoned two eunuchs, Xu and Hai, and still ordered them to lead the minions to ambush secretly. They had to wait for his signal before they could come out to help him and help him push the mountain up the mountain. They should not act rashly.
After doing this, Ye Wumian also found a secluded hiding place and waited for the arrival of Manager Wu and his group.
He looked towards the official road in the distance.
However, the night was dark and the rain was raining constantly. How could I see or hear anything far away? He patiently continued to wait.
After an unknown amount of time, I finally saw a few shaky and blurry lights appearing on the road ahead.
The sound of rain was also mixed with the sound of hooves and wheels scraping the road, the sound of carriages shaking, and the sound of people talking.
His heart slowly lifted.
Instead of walking onto the official road, he walked along the outer edge of the official road for some distance.
As we got closer, we looked from the side and saw a group of more than a dozen people, wearing raincoats, driving mule carts, or supporting them on the road, rushing on their way.
This group of people walked quite slowly, in order to take care of one person who was looking around, as if looking for someone.
At a certain moment, the man saw Ye Wumian shrouded in mist, and his face suddenly turned pale.
