Chapter 172: The brave wins
When the night wind rose, Zhao Xian and Yin Ren were standing outside a row of wooden fences, which started from one end of the mountain and started from the other end of the mountain, like a flat semicircle surrounding the whole mountain, separating the two places with clear barriers.
Muzha is a neat and tight, quite close to the people's residence, but that is a larger, spacious and comfortable independent courtyard. The entrance and exit on both sides was also a wooden gate, and outside the gate stood four sturdy sword-wielding guards, who stood at the door without blinking an eye, even though it was the dead of night.
The evening breeze blew the slightly fishy smell of the river, blowing the hair on the sideburns of the two, Zhao Xian not only did not feel relaxed, but pursed her lips and stared closely at the small courtyard with lights in the wooden fence.
She knew that the place that seemed to be loosely distributed and had few courtyards was hiding more masters, and once the two of them were discovered, they would definitely fall into a situation where there was no way to escape and no way to retreat.
They must be more cautious at this moment, otherwise they will be intercepted and killed here before they reach the final convenience. Thinking of this, a layer of sweat broke out in Zhao Xian's palms, and her back, which was blown by the wind, was also covered with cold sweat.
Yin Ren followed Zhao Xian's gaze, and also noticed the small courtyard, he tugged at Zhao Xian's sleeve, nodded his head to the mountain wall, Zhao Xian bowed slightly, and followed Yin Ren to move towards the mountain wall with his back against the wooden fence.
When they reached the end of the wooden fence, the two of them shot into the wooden fence like lightning against the mountain wall, and really entered the core of the Jiaolong Gang camp.
As soon as the two of them entered this place, they happened to see several trees that were not big or small, and the two of them immediately spread out and jumped on the two trees next to each other.
Zhao Xian sat on the tree, staring at the courtyard with lights on, the small courtyard was about fifty steps away from them, and the branches and leaves in front of them were opened, although it was not very clear, but they could also see the general situation in the courtyard.
There are several lanterns hanging under the eaves of the courtyard, illuminating the small courtyard quite brightly, there are two men and a woman standing in the courtyard, looking at the costume seems to be the next person, the two hold the lantern and do not know who they are waiting for.
There are not many houses in the small courtyard, but the layout is extremely elegant, just one glance, Zhao Xian felt that this pattern was familiar, and after a few more glances, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning.
The two servants with the lanterns in the courtyard were standing side by side, but when they heard the sound of talking in the house and walking towards the door with footsteps, the two of them hurriedly separated and stood with their heads bowed.
The door of the hall was opened, the sound of talking did not stop, but the footsteps stopped for a while, and a man stood at the door, holding the edge of the door, turning his head and comforting: "You can rest in peace for this night, tomorrow the helper will summon you over." ”
Not far behind him stood another man, with a sullen expression, obviously in a terrible mood, and asked, "Is there a new person in the helper?" ”
"You're too worried! The helper will be able to arrive later, thinking that he must have been tired of traveling and traveling overnight, and there are important things to arrange, so he will not be able to take care of you at that time, so it is better for you to wait for one night with peace of mind, and go again tomorrow? The man at the door gently admonished.
"In that case, I will do as you say." Although the man behind him was not happy, he didn't dare to be too reluctant, and his expression slowed down slightly: "I'll send you out!" The two walked out of the hall one after the other and entered the courtyard.
Zhao Xian couldn't hear the conversation between the two people clearly from this distance, only looked at the similar figures of the two people from a distance, and suddenly appeared in her mind under the moonlight one night, there were also two people standing side by side in the corridor, and these two people were surprisingly similar to the two people.
Two people, a man and a woman, saw their master come out, and hurriedly moved in front of the two of them, lifting the lamp to illuminate the road ahead.
The two of them didn't know what to say, but they all raised their heads and looked at the moon, and were looked at by Zhao Xian, her eyes narrowed, and she secretly said in her heart, no wonder she looked at the layout of the courtyard so familiar, it was really them. Zhao Xian's hand holding the branch shook, and the leaves that had been removed before were suddenly released, while her body shrank back.
Yin Ren stood on the tree and looked down, compared it with the picture in his mind, felt that it was almost the same, and nodded secretly.
The two waited silently on the tree for a while, and saw that the people who remained in the courtyard had returned to the house, and the lanterns in the courtyard had all been extinguished.
The man who came out of the courtyard walked out of the courtyard gate, stood quietly at the door for a while, took the lantern in the hand of the next man, waved his hand to signal him to go back, sighed and walked north along the path.
Yin Ren saw the figure disappear into the moonlight, and jumped down from the tree gently, and Zhao Xian hurriedly followed and jumped down quietly.
The two of them no longer took refuge from their houses as before, but continued to walk against the wall of the mountain, and they came to the middle of the mountain as swiftly and swiftly as apes.
Standing in front of the mountain, looking up, the mountain became more and more tall, covering half of the moonlight in the middle of the sky, Zhao Xian remembered that Zhou Yi had said that this mountain is the only high mountain on the island, and it is called the nameless mountain, which also deserves the name of the nameless island.
Under the faint moonlight, a mountain road appeared in front of them, half-light and half-dark in the center of the mountain, Zhao Xian and the others had already kept the map firmly in their minds, and as long as they successfully passed through this valley road, they would be able to reach their final destination.
Zhao Xian couldn't help but look back, and found that there was silence all around, which showed that they had not been discovered, she gasped slightly, and stroked the hair that slipped down her forehead.
A dagger was handed in front of her, Zhao Xian shook her head at Yin Ren, and took out a dagger casually, which was given to her by her father for self-defense, she had used this dagger to protect herself in danger many times, and she only hoped that there would be no chance to use it again tonight.
Yin Ren smiled and put his dagger back, nodded lightly at her, and the two of them swept into the mountain road at a faster speed with one force.
Running on the mountain road, except for the faint chirping of the night wind through the mountain, only the owls on the trees on both sides of the mountain 'coo' accompanied their flying figures.
The mountain road is actually not long, the mountain road has been more than halfway through, and the exit of another place is close at hand, Zhao Xian was overjoyed, raised her breath to speed up her body, and used light skills to the extreme, and Yin Ren was still unhurried by her side, Zhao Xian looked at him with a little gratitude.
Yin Ren smiled back, and as soon as the smile was halfway through, his complexion changed suddenly, and he took her into his arms with one hook, and his body flashed quickly to the side, and he said, "Be careful!" ”
Zhao Xian was startled, stood firmly behind and saw a man in a green shirt standing opposite, the man frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”
When Zhao Xian saw this person, her temples suddenly jumped, and she whispered in her mouth: "Restrain him!" ”
Yin Ren nodded, did not answer, let go of Zhao Xian as soon as his arm was released, and stretched out the dagger with his right hand, like lightning in the dark night, and stabbed towards the man in green shirt.
Zhao Xian also quickly pounced and stabbed the man.
