Chapter 217: Take the initiative
Let's say that Gu Jian sent his five generals to clean up the nearby monsters, thinking that this should be a matter of being captured, but he didn't expect to wait for the Hunter Demon and the Drill Demon to wait for a letter for help. He tore the letter in his hand to shreds in anger, and then shouted loudly: "Foolish, waste, even a few mountain demons can't clean it up, it's really a shame for the king." ”
Seeing Gu Jian's anger, the henchman evil star beside him hurriedly persuaded: "The king is angry, be careful if you are angry." ”
After a while, Gu Jian's anger gradually subsided, and he said to the messenger monster standing below: "The Hunter Demon and the Drill Demon are blocked by who is attacking, and where they are currently stationed, they have fought a few victories and a few defeats, and report them truthfully." ”
The messenger monster trembled and said: "Back to the king, at present, the hunter general and the drill general are stationed in the area of Panya Mountain, where there are local monsters called the three flying demons to resist stubbornly, and our army has won and lost several battles with them. The day before yesterday, the two generals set up a plan to lure the three demons out of the cottage to fight, and the three demons were defeated by our army. Just when our army was about to win, suddenly thousands of demon thieves were killed in the oblique stab, and the leader was one of the hidden demons of the Windless Mountain. Faced with the tricky situation of a group of demon thieves joining forces, the Drill General and the Hunter General let the little one come back to ask the king for help. ”
Gu Jian said: "I see, I didn't expect this group of thieves to join forces, it seems that they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, there's nothing for you here, you can retreat." ”
The messenger monster said respectfully, "Yes, my lord." He walked out.
Evil Star said, "King, how are you going to deal with those mountain demons who refuse to surrender?"
Gu Jian paused word by word: "Those mountain demons are waiting to see, and this king will personally deal with them." After a moment of silence, he continued: "This king plans to go out in person tomorrow, and this place will be temporarily handed over to you to be responsible, remember, you must beware of the attacks of human warriors, be prepared for strict defense, and send someone to report to me at any time if there is an emergency, do you understand?"
The evil star said respectfully: "Don't worry, the king can rest assured, the little one understands." ”
The next day, Gu Jian really personally led 2,000 soldiers and horses to go on an expedition, wanting to rendezvous with the Drill Demon and the Hunter Demon in the area of Panya Mountain.
However, it was said that in order to prevent Gu Jian's attack, the disciples of the Wuzong Academy and the disciples of the Jiuxianmen worked overtime and day and night along the border line, and finally completed the fortifications in about half a month. On this day, Lu Yunfei, Cheng Qinghong, Du Mantian, Mu Yan and others were discussing in the tent, Du Mantian said with a puzzled face: "Everyone, do you feel that it has been a little abnormal in the past half a month, and there has been no movement since the ice wolf came to show up on that day, and I don't know what medicine Gu Jian is selling in the gourd?"
Lu Yunfei said: "This matter is indeed strange, it stands to reason that he should have launched an attack on us a long time ago, after all, he is a member of the Illusory Demon Sect, and he has a father-son relationship with Zhong Xuantong and Mu He." He knew that Zhong Xuantong and Mu He had died at the hands of us and others, and there was no reason why they should not come to take revenge, but it was really incomprehensible that they had not seen any movement now.
Cheng Qinghong said: "What is the use of you two guessing here, now that the fortifications have been built, in my opinion, it is better to send some people to go deep into the Demon Forest, and find out what the result is." ”
Lu Yunfei said: "What Senior Sister said is extremely true, why don't I take Shao Lei and Ruifeng with Brother Du and them on a trip in the unknown day, and go to find out the truth in person?"
Du Mantian said: "This is very good, lest we sit and wait, maybe Gu Jian's little thief is secretly playing some tricks." ”
The group had already made up their minds, and then they dispersed to prepare.
Early the next morning, Lu Yunfei and Du Mantian took Qi Shaolei, Jing Ruifeng, Ye Yingying, Chi Yan and a team of disciples to go deep into the Demon Forest to find out information, while the affairs in the camp were temporarily handed over to Cheng Qinghong and Mu Yan and others. Everyone walked all the way, and nothing unusual happened on the way, and the Demon Forest at this time was much more deserted than before, and there were no more wild beasts and monsters everywhere.
After walking for a few days, he gradually approached the hinterland of the Demon Forest, and on this day, Qi Shaolei said as he walked: "Elder Lu, this task of finding out information is not difficult, why do you need to go out in person, just leave it to a few of our junior disciples to complete." ”
Lu Yunfei said with a straight face: "Shao Lei, have you forgotten that the Hundred Transformations Demon once trapped the four of you here, if I hadn't arrived in time with Senior Uncle Cheng that time, your lives would have been lost, you really have a good scar and forgot the pain." I'm afraid that these demons we're going to deal with this time are even more tricky than the Hundred Demons, and the four of you are not his opponents at all, so don't talk like that. ”
Qi Shaolei was counted down and said in a depressed mood: "Elder Lu, I was wrong, it's all because I thought things too simply." ”
Jing Ruifeng, Ye Yingying, and Chi Yan on the side also said: "Shaolei, don't be too self-righteous, how many times have you suffered for this little problem, you just don't know how to remember it." ”
Qi Shaolei said with a guilty face: "Okay, I will definitely change my past mistakes in the future, and I will no longer be arrogant and complacent, you will supervise me at any time." ”
Ye Yingying said: "I hope you don't talk about it this time." ”
Walking and walking, everyone came to the foot of a big mountain, only to see that the majestic peak of the mountain went straight into the clouds, and the ancient trees on the mountain covered the sky and covered the sun, it was really a good mountain. Qi Shaolei, Jing Ruifeng, Ye Yingying, Chi Yan and a group of disciples were amazed when they saw this mountain so majestic and extraordinary, Lu Yunfei and Du Mantian had seen countless famous mountains and rivers in the north and south, and they had long been surprised by this scene.
At this time, it was noon, and everyone was inevitably hungry when they walked quickly, Lu Yunfei said: "It is very shady at the foot of this mountain, why don't you rest and eat some dry food before you go." ”
Everyone was ordered to find a place to sit down and rest.
Qi Shaolei said to Jing Ruifeng beside him while eating the dry food in his hand: "You said that this mountain is so extraordinary, will there be powerful monsters hidden in it?"
Jing Ruifeng said: "You are asking the wrong person, I don't know anything about this mountain like you, I don't know if there are powerful monsters in the mountain, Elder Lu often brings disciples to the Demon Forest to practice, you might as well ask him." ”
Qi Shaolei shook his head and said: "Then forget it, if I ask nine times out of ten, I will be scolded again, why should I bother to find scolding." ”
Jing Ruifeng said: "It's good to know, I advise you to put away your curious and restless heart for the time being, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the movements of Gu Jian's demon, and put other things aside." ”
Everyone rested for a while, and suddenly there was a loud sound of footsteps in their ears, Lu Yunfei hurriedly signaled everyone to hide, everyone followed the sound, and found that dozens of monsters were walking down from the mountain, carrying many prey on their shoulders, with a happy look on their faces.
It turned out that there were many prey in this mountain, and Gu Jian's base camp was not far from this mountain, so this rich mountain naturally became the most important food supply place for Gu Jian's army.
At this time, it was this hunting team that walked down from the mountain, they were talking and laughing happily, and they didn't notice Lu Yunfei and the others hiding in the shadows. Seeing a group of monsters coming down from the mountain, Lu Yunfei was overjoyed in his heart and said: "God help me, these monsters must be Gu Jian's subordinates, we just need to take them down, the camp of Gu Jian's army will know as soon as you ask, without further ado, let's go." As he spoke, he took the lead in snatching out of the bushes, and Du Mantian, Qi Shaolei and others followed closely behind.
Everyone stopped a group of demons, and Lu Yunfei said sharply: "Listen, I am Lu Yunfei of the Martial Arts Academy, and those who know each other will be arrested quickly and spare your life." ”
All the demons are fierce and ruthless, how can they surrender easily, they are all fierce, holding weapons in their hands and putting on a look of unyielding death.
Lu Yunfei knew that it was useless to say more, so he shouted angrily: "Everyone listen to the order and correct these demon thieves on the spot." At the sound of the order, many disciples swept out in unison and attacked the thieves like wolves and tigers.
Lu Yunfei took it as a stand, and the Great Zhou Tianzhen Qi in his body urged with all his might, wielding his double gong to open the bow left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, only to see a terrifying cold light roaring out, and beating many monsters to the point where he passed, he cried and cried his father.
Although these monsters have rough skin and thick flesh and a body like an iron beating, they are still not worth mentioning in front of Lu Yunfei and other martial arts masters who have been practicing for many years.
I saw Lu Yunfei knock out a little monster to the ground, and the little monster knelt on the ground and begged: "The hero spares his life, the little one didn't do anything that hurt the heavens and reason." ”
Lu Yunfei said: "If you want to live, you can answer me a few questions honestly, and spare you from dying." ”
The little monster nodded and said like pounding garlic: "The hero just asks, and the little one knows everything." ”
Lu Yunfei said: "Gu Jian's camp is far away from here, how many soldiers and horses do you have in total, and what are the movements in the near future?"
The little monster said: "Our army camp is only thirty or forty miles away from here, there are about thousands of soldiers and horses, recently the king and the five generals have gone separately to subdue the demon king on the nearby mountain, and only the king's henchmen are left in the camp to take care of it." ”
Lu Yunfei said: "I see, no wonder he didn't attack us, it turned out that he wanted to stabilize the rear first, and his wishful thinking was really good." ”
At this time, Du Mantian, Qi Shaolei and others, who had eliminated all the demon monsters, also surrounded him, and Du Mantian said: "How, can I get information from this demon thief?"
Lu Yunfei said: "I heard it, the camp of Gu Jian's army is thirty or forty miles away, but at this moment, that guy is not in the army, but went with his generals to subdue the demon king on the nearby mountain." ”
Qi Shaolei saw that the little monster was still kneeling on the ground and said busily: "Elder Lu, how to deal with this little monster?"
Lu Yunfei said: "********, kill him." ”
The little monster was horrified and hurriedly got up and ran away, but it was too late, he just ran a few steps, and there was a roar behind him, only to see a lightning bolt falling from the sky and slashing at the top of his head, and the little monster screamed and screamed.
Lu Yunfei said: "The enemy army has about thousands of soldiers and horses, and we alone will definitely not be able to win, in my opinion, let's send one person back to the garrison to move the rescue troops first, and the others will stay in the mountains to live." Destroy this group of monsters today, the enemy army will definitely send someone to find out the cause of death, then the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, we may be able to destroy another enemy army is unknown, I don't know what Master Du wants?"
Du Mantian said with a smile: "Elder Lu is very thoughtful, this plan is very good, then let's wait for the enemy to send it to the door." ”
The plan was decided, and Lu Yunfei immediately assigned a capable disciple to rush back to the garrison to move troops, while the others stayed in the mountains and waited for the enemy to come to the door.
