........................
In the clearing outside Hongling Mountain, an old man was wandering around.
He was dressed in a gray silk robe, with a silk handkerchief on his head, he was not tall, his limbs were thin, his beard was gray, his face was slightly dark with wrinkles, and his eyes flashed with shrewdness and sophistication. In the woods not far away, there was a healthy horse on a leash.
The appearance of this old man should be from afar, but he couldn't enter Hongling Mountain, and he was anxious, when he saw the stone door open, his joy was beyond words, and he greeted him in a panic.
And it was quite a surprise to see the old man without blame.
Hongling Mountain is located in the middle of nowhere and is not known to ordinary people. Who would have thought that someone would find this place and stay outside the mountain, could it be an accomplice of those guys, or a thief who slipped through the net?
After he walked out of the door hole with four horses alone, he didn't have time to think about it, waved the jade pendant to close the stone door, and then drove the horse slowly to meet the old man, and asked loudly: "Are you ......?"
The old man looked at the stone gate closed by the "Karala", seemed disappointed, and didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly came to the horse, raised his hands and clasped his fists in greeting: "Sure enough, it's an immortal chief! Boss Zhu has something to report to Wanfeng Immortal Chief, but I don't know his old man's ......."
This old man called himself Boss Zhu, but he had some vision, and when he saw that the means of closing the stone gate without blame were extraordinary, he opened his mouth and called him Immortal Chief, but he looked hesitant, as if he was specifically looking for Wan Feng.
Riding on the horse, he looked at the old man in front of him condescendingly, and immediately became a little unhappy, his face sank, and he snorted: "Senior Brother Wanfeng has gone far away, and I am in charge of this place." What's the matter with you, tell me quickly. ”
"Ah...... That's it, that's it!"
Zhu Laolian bowed and nodded, took two steps back, and then raised a face full of wrinkles, and said with a cautious expression: "It turns out that this Immortal Elder is actually the senior brother of Wanfeng Immortal Chief, and the little old man is disrespectful. And since Wan Feng Immortal Chang went out on a long trip, he should have an explanation. Forgive me for taking the liberty of not knowing what the immortal chief is called?"
He seems to be humble and respectful, honest and honest, but his words are not leaky, and he is obviously a shrewd man who is old and sophisticated. Because of this, he is deeply appreciated by Wan Feng, and is familiar with the ways to get around, and he is no stranger to everything in Hongling Mountain.
Wu Blame was very impatient, and said: "You old man don't want to say it, just wait here for Wan Feng to return, dodge-"
He put his feet in the belly of the horse, and he was about to leave.
Boss Zhu dodged back and said hurriedly: "Oh, how can this be good, Wanfeng Immortal Chang doesn't have enough people left in Xitangji......"
Blameless's mind moved, and the reins tightened in his hand.
Do you think that the thieves in Hongling Mountain are dead, and there are still remnants of evil wandering outside?
His thoughts turned, and he pretended to be helpless and said, "Senior Brother Wanfeng once mentioned such a place as Xitangji, but I didn't bother to pay attention to it. And now that it's over, you might as well go through it today. ”
Boss Zhu increased the amount with his hand, and he was very happy: "With the help of the immortal chief, this matter is worry-free." And when he said this, he raised his hand to the door in the cliff and said, "Why don't you gather a few more heroes in case of ......accidents?"
Wu Blame rolled his eyes and drove his horse forward: "Wu De took Wan Feng, Wang Yu and the people under his command to the hinterland of the Western Zhou Dynasty for other important matters, and there are no extra manpower in the mountains. If you dare to be verbose, I will not accompany you!"
This immortal elder's temper is not small! And since he mentioned the names of the two immortal elders, Wu De and Wang Yu, it should be no different. Maybe Hongling Mountain really has something else important, but it's not easy to speculate.
Boss Zhu rolled his eyes and pondered for a moment, put aside his doubts, hurriedly ran to his mount, and said with a smile: "Please also ask the fairy chief to work hard, when you get to Xitangji, after the matter is completed, the little old man will have the heart to offer, hehe......" He turned over and rode on horseback, trotted to catch up with no blame, and then did not hide it, and said his intentions.
Zhu Laoda is a member of Nanling Xitang Jiren, and his family is well-off. When he went out to do business, he met a few reckless men, so he tried his best to tie up, but he had no intention of climbing the gang of thieves in Hongling Mountain. Hongling Mountain is looting everywhere, and someone is urgently needed to act as an eyeliner to ventilate the message. So they hit it off with each other, and they can be regarded as smelling alike.
And there is a Ye family in Xitang Town, who is the richest man in the local area, which makes the Wanfeng Immortal of Hongling Mountain quite greedy, so he left a few people to investigate secretly. It coincided with March 26, which was the month when the son of the Ye family married his wife, which was a good time to start. However, the Ye family was not a small family, and those men did not dare to act rashly, so they sent Boss Zhu back to Hongling Mountain to report the truth, that is, to bring reinforcements.
"The people left by the Ten Thousand Immortals are too few, I'm afraid they will be outnumbered! You must know that the Ye family has a wide range of friends and a thriving ......."
"From now on, call me Mr. Wu. ”
"Well, the little old man obeys. It's just that I haven't seen Mr. Wu before, so it's inevitable that there will be rudeness. If you are offended, please forgive me!"
"I happened to be passing through here, and I was entrusted with the care of Hongling Mountain. Where is Xitang Gathering and how far away is it?"
"Two hundred miles away, fast horses and whips can be reached in one day. Mr. Wu, you and I really don't want to find a few more helpers?"
"I'm enough for one person!"
"Little old man obeys orders! Presumably, Mr. Wu's mana is strong, but I don't know how to compare it to Wan Xian Chang......"
"Hmph, don't give me a word, leave immediately, and lead the way. ”
Wu Ji learned the truth from Boss Zhu's mouth, so he moved his mind, and when he took out a picture slip to check it, he was even more determined to go to Xitang Town. Boss Zhu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly drove the horse to take the first step.
Two men and five horses marched through the dense forest in the valley and all the way east.
According to the map, two hundred miles away, is Xitangji, an unfamiliar Nanling border market town. And thousands of miles away, there is another familiar place, Tianshui Town.
Before, I was worried about the long distance, but now it is much simpler.
I still remember that the Shangguan family in Tianshui Town has a teleportation formation, and if you rush to Lingxia Mountain by the way, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Now that you have a shortcut to follow, it's better to take the opportunity to meddle in your business. At the very least, the thieves in Hongling Mountain should be eradicated to the roots, so as not to leave a disaster.
However, this Boss Zhu is a little dishonest.
......
When the two horseback figures crossed the hill and stopped, it was already late at night.
There was a crescent moon in the sky, and the breeze was gentle all around.
The young man on the horse looked the same as before, without the fatigue of the long journey. The old man who accompanied him was lying on the horse's back with his butt pouting, and he was already tired and panting like a cow. Behind the two horsemen, three horses were equally exhausted.
On the way, I changed horses one after another, and finally arrived here in the middle of the night. And Xitang Town is more than ten miles away, but some people can't support it.
"Mr. Wu, let me rest for a while!"
Boss Zhu greeted, slid down the saddle, fell to the ground softly, rubbed his buttocks and said, "The day after tomorrow is only March 26th, but I'm not in a hurry...... Oops, the skin is broken......"
In the past, he rushed to Hongling Mountain, which took two days, and the journey was very easy, but today he ran all the way, and he never wanted to take a breath, and he was tired, and his buttocks were worn out.
Wu blame looked away for a moment, turned over and dismounted, glanced at it, and said dissatisfied: "It's you who is urging you to hurry, it's you who is crying out for pain, and it's you who don't leave at this time, hum!" He snorted, took off his bag, found a flat stone not far away, stretched his waist and lay down, and did not forget to instruct: "No matter how tired you are, you can't be tired of those beasts, and take it aside to feed the forage, don't be slow!"
Here the breeze hills, the crescent moon and the pine shadow, the night is quiet, but it is a good place to rest.
Boss Zhu nodded with a bitter face, but said again: "Mr. is a master, so it is inconvenient to appear rashly in the market town. When I settle the little old man, it is not too late to kill the Ye family directly!" It seems that he stopped here, and he actually had other intentions. He grinned again, and then he got up slowly, and after being busy for a while, he approached with caution, bowed down and said, "Sir is resting here in peace, I'll go back first to see how one or two ......?"
Mr. Wu had a bad temper, but he was also good, waved his hand, and then closed his eyes and snored.
It's rare for this immortal chief to sleep like a mortal!
Boss Zhu led his horse, climbed on the horse's back with some difficulty, followed the mountain path, and went away in the dark at night.
But after a while, the snoring on the hill was gone.
......
After Boss Zhu left, he never turned around.
And on the afternoon of March 26, he returned with two men on horseback.
On the hill, there was still a figure in white. In the nearby woods, there were four healthy horses on a leash. From afar, you can hear the sound of snoring. It's easy to see that a certain gentleman is still asleep.
Still twenty or thirty feet away, the two men looked hesitant.
"Boss Zhu, is that the immortal chief you invited?"
"I've never seen it, could it be a fraud?"
"Hehe, there is no falsehood!"
Boss Zhu took the lead in jumping off the horse and said with a smile: "This Mr. Wu is the senior brother of Wanfeng Immortal, and he just stopped by to help." Mr. None......"
With the sound of the call, the sleeping figure woke up slowly, slowly sat up, yawned, and wondered: "At this time, when are these two ......?"
"Hehe, tonight, it's the time for the Ye family's wedding banquet. ”
Boss Zhu raised his hand and continued to say: "These are the two heroes of Taihu Er and Shi Sheng of Hongling Mountain, please come over and meet Mr. Wu!"
The so-called two heroes are both in their thirties, and their appearance and clothing are ordinary, but they each have a steel knife with a sheath stuck in their waists, and they have a faint murderous aura, how do they not look like good people.
When they reached the hill, the two men stopped their horses.
Among them, the man called Taihu raised his eyes and looked at it, and said suspiciously: "I heard that Wan Feng Immortal was born in a loose cultivation and has no senior brother. ”
Another man, Shi Sheng, held the hilt of a knife and looked guarded.
Not to mention anything else, just the situation at hand. The immortal chief of Hongling Mountain is a middle-aged man. And this fair and handsome Mr. Wu is only in his twenties at most, and he actually considers himself a senior brother. With such a flaw, he may be able to deceive Boss Zhu, but he can't hide it from the brothers of Hongling Mountain.
And Wu Yi still sat cross-legged on the stone, without saying anything, raising his hand and waving, and a jade pendant hung in the air......
