Chapter 02: Saving Lives
A large stone wall was erected in the clearing of the forest, and the guards patrolling around the camp, with torches in one hand and weapons in the other, looked trained and vicious, and their faces did not look like ordinary people
Mo Siyou avoided the guards, sneaked into the camp from the roof, the terrain inside was not complicated, divided into the front yard and the backyard, and sneaked all the way into the backyard, and saw an amazing scene, Liu Qingxuan and Zhu Yin were tied to two iron pillars respectively, and there were more than a dozen guards patrolling and guarding around them
The two of them were whipped and bruised and weakened
“...... Give them the medicine well, and the boss said that he wants to keep them alive and use them as hostages," a small leader whispered to the man who looked like a doctor
Liu Qingxuan snorted coldly, turned his pale and blood-stained face away, seemed to disdain their "kindness", gritted his teeth and said, "You have the ability...... Just kill me...... Don't do those shameless things."
"I want to die," the little leader laughed playfully twice, "Don't worry, with your chance, this human world is the world of our demons and half-demons sooner or later, haha"
Mo Siyou's eyes quietly scanned the entire courtyard and counted the number of people in his heart
There are only 12 people patrolling the fixed posts in the backyard, and they come three times every half an hour, so if you seize the time during this period, you can solve the 12 people......
Seeing that Liu Qingxuan and Zhu Yin were close to him, Mo Siyou felt confident that he would gamble, but not thinking about it now, he left the camp and walked straight to the base camp at the bottom of the mountain, since he found out where Liu Qingxuan and Zhu Yin were, he naturally wanted to take action, but since those half-demons had tied them up for so long, it seemed that they were going to be taken hostage, which meant that they would not have to worry about their lives for the time being
Calculating the time, it is now the second half of the time, the men and horses led by Mo Siyou and Lan Xuan are just a vanguard force, followed by a team of people led by Xuanchen and Xuanguang, once it is determined that the top of the mountain is the camp of the half-demons, the people and horses of the rivers and lakes will immediately gather towards Siyou Cliff, that is the main force they will use to deal with the camp on the mountain
Mo Siyou summoned everyone now to discuss the plan to save people and respond, but Lan Xuan and Purple Kite were nowhere to be seen
"Earlier, the Purple Kite girl went somewhere, and the third senior brother seemed to be looking for her," said one of the disciples
Mo Siyou's eyes lit up, could it be that the purple kite followed him to the top of the mountain, he immediately sent a team of six people to search the route on the mountain secretly, and then made arrangements for the remaining twenty or so people, they were responsible for ambushing Liu Qingxuan and Zhu Yin, and then immediately retreated to the foot of the mountain to join the Xuanchen and Xuanguang troops who rushed over
Mo Siyou originally planned to sneak into the backyard of the camp with Lan Xuan, but now he can't wait for him, he can only pick a better self-fence among the disciples, and use small stones to knock the guards unconscious, as long as their side goes smoothly, they can try to save people with zero damage
So the process has to be fast and accurate
These disciples usually train under Mo Siyou and Lan Xuan, and there is a tacit understanding between them, which did not disappoint Mo Siyou, after the patrol team left the backyard, the two of them quickly eliminated the twelve guards, and then flew to the courtyard to untie their ropes, and they were about to take the two of them out of the camp
Unexpectedly, a group of half-demons suddenly appeared around them, and attacked them
Mo Siyou was ready to encounter an ambush, and he didn't love to fight, so he directly eliminated the few people in front of him, and then rushed out of the encirclement with his own people and ran towards their ambush place
Liu Qingxuan and Zhu Yin were both seriously injured, and they had no combat strength at all, so they were sent on prepared fast horses and galloped down the mountain
Mo Siyou took a few disciples to stay behind and take charge of the break, because he didn't want to increase casualties, so Mo Siyou's order was not to fight hard, but just run
After a while, seeing that Liu Qingxuan and Zhu Yin had run away, Mo Siyou took the rest of his disciples to retreat into the forest, and the group of half-demons held torches and chased after them, and when they were halfway up the mountain, a shadow suddenly came out and grabbed Mo Siyou's arm
"Brother You, come with me"
Mo Siyou was stunned for a moment, and was dragged by the purple kite to another way
There is a hidden cave in a fault zone of Siyou Cliff, which is similar to the cave in the mountain behind Bicao Villa, but the entrance is larger, and it comes and goes freely, but it is covered by dense bushes, and ordinary people will not find it at all
The purple kite took them here to hide, and soon heard the noisy sound of the half-demon chasing overhead, and everyone held their breath until the half-demon was far away, and then they breathed a long sigh of relief
"It should all be gone, let's wait a little longer, go out, and then go down the mountain," Purple Kite listened to the movement outside, but still did not let her guard down
"Where did you go," Mo Siyou suddenly asked so confusedly
Purple Kite looked at him and was stunned
"Why weren't you there when I went back to camp just now," Mo Siyou's tone seemed a little angry
Only then did the purple kite react, and when he asked, he lowered his eyelids with some weakness, twisted his fingers, and said, "I...... I was just walking around and I happened to hear the sound of you fighting......"
"Just walk around and walk for so long," Mo Siyu interrupted her directly, the expression on his face was helpless and a little annoyed, "Can you listen to what I say once, don't worry me"
As soon as he thought of how the group of half-demons treated Liu Qingxuan and Zhu Yin Mo Siyu cruelly, he felt palpitations, he had been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he had not seen this much more cruel torture, but when these happened to his own people, he was still inevitably touched, especially when he thought that if it was a purple kite...... She was another girl, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen to those people in the hands of those people
"I'm sorry," Purple Kite knew that Mo Siyou had already guessed that she wanted to go to the top of the mountain, so she stopped quibbling and honestly admitted her mistake
Seeing her like this, Mo Siyu wanted to say something, but those words rolled around his throat, but he finally didn't say it, he sighed helplessly, gently hugged the purple kite, and said in a soft tone: "Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation, otherwise I will go crazy."
Purple Kite nodded, her eyes showed a complicated look, her eyes were slightly red, and she muttered: "I really know it's wrong, it's really ......"
She was really wrong, it was really just that Mo Siyu couldn't hear the off-string sound of these words
"That's right," Mo Siyou let go of her and asked with a serious face, "A disciple said that the third senior brother went to look for you before, did you see others?"
Purple Kite's face was half-hidden in the dark, because she heard those three words, she was a little pale, she bit her lip, hid the unnatural look that no one noticed, shook her head, and said, "No, he, did he come to me" After a pause, she lowered her head and took a deep breath before continuing: "It's all because I'm not good for you to worry."
Mo Siyou rubbed her hair, couldn't bear to blame her anymore, so she had to say: "Third Senior Brother may not know our plan, let's go back to the camp to find him first, he may go back to find us"
"Hmm," Purple Kite nodded, and after Mo Siyu turned around, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, and she hesitantly followed his footsteps and walked towards the camp with the group
I don't know if the people sent out have found Lan Xuan, if they meet, then don't worry, Lan Xuan is not clear about their plan, now Mo Siyou is worried that Lan Xuan will meet the half-demons who catch up when he returns to the camp, although Lan Xuan's cultivation is not low, but it will still be very difficult to deal with so many half-demons alone, so Mo Siyou's steps are very fast
Purple Kite saw that he had been frowning and couldn't help asking, "Brother You, what are you thinking?"
"I don't know, I always feel that something is wrong," after a pause, Mo Siyu's brows furrowed deeper, "This operation seems to be a little too easy, since the half-demons know that we will rob people, why are they so loosely ambushed, if you want to use them as bait to lure us into the bait, shouldn't we be tightly guarded?"
"There are less than a thousand half-demons here, and they are not as successful as they imagined, and their leaders will not risk pouring out, just to catch a few of us, now all the people in the rivers and lakes are gathering, these half-demons should have a headache because of this matter, if they want to compete with so many decent people in the rivers and lakes, they can only strengthen their defenses instead of attacking," Purple Kite analyzed
"But if you leave the hostages in your hands, even if you have to fight in the future, you have a better chance of winning, right" Mo Siyou still had a doubt, and didn't understand
Purple Kite glanced at him, the corners of his mouth flashed, and he sneered: "Are hostages really useful, for those people, why not sacrifice a few people in order to eradicate the threat, I'm afraid those half-demons know better than us"
Mo Si was stunned, and the words of the purple kite swirled in his head
What would be the result if the half-demon left Liu Qingxuan and Zhu Yin as hostages and fought against the famous and decent people, and the purple kite was right, at most, it could delay for some time, and when the human race really felt threatened or ran out of patience, Liu Qingxuan and Zhu Yin would also become victims
Mo Siyou sighed heavily, and didn't think about it for the time being, but he didn't see any trace of Lan Xuan after walking around the camp, and this was what made Mo Siyou even more troublesome
"Third Senior Brother...... Will it go down the mountain with the other disciples," Purple Kite guessed, and Xuan was about to take his eyes off Mo Siyu and look around
What Purple Kite said was not impossible, but I don't know why, Mo Siyu had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, as if even his eyelids were beating hard
"Let's look around again, if we don't find the third senior brother at dawn, let's go down the mountain," Mo Siyou still decided to look for another look, what did the purple kite want to say, moved his lips, stopped and followed him in silence
Just in the nearby woods, a disciple suddenly appeared, and it was one of the people who had been sent to find Lan Xuan before
