Chapter 89: Into the Tiger's Den
Tang Xiao got the news from Captain Qian that Commander Wei Chi was preparing to attack the Misty Demon Ridge again.
The last time Wei Chi commanded the attack on the Misty Demon Ridge, because he cooperated with the actions of the state capital, he did not suffer much punishment.
The Xiong County Shou of Lang County only punished him for his cultivation resources allocated by the government every month, as well as gave him a few whips, which was considered military law, and then there was no more.
And those whips were nothing at all to Commander Wei Chi, who was a foundation building monk.
So this time when it came to the life and death of his son, he still chose to ignore the military order, and resolutely decided to go into the Misty Demon Ridge to snatch his son back.
After getting the news, Tang Xiao was relieved.
He told the spies of the Wu family to take good care of the son of the commander of Wei Chi and Xu Xu, and then took Pang Ye out.
The two found Shopkeeper Yu again.
But this time it was not in Yu's shopkeeper's shop, but in a humble courtyard on the outskirts of Lang County.
This is the delivery time and place agreed by Shopkeeper Yu and Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao arrived as promised.
Shopkeeper Yu thought that Tang Xiao was here to deliver the goods, but he didn't expect Tang Xiao's reaction to be unexpected.
As soon as the two foundation building monks came up, they controlled the Yu shopkeeper, but the poor Yu shopkeeper was just a metamorphosis monk, although he had prepared security measures, even the secret passage and ambush were ready, once he found that something was wrong, he immediately tried to get out, but he never expected that the two people in front of him were foundation building monks, but they were not ordinary foundation building monks, and as soon as he made a move, he understood that he was like a chicken in front of the other party, and he could be manipulated at will.
Shopkeeper Yu was panicked and hurriedly said, "Boss Xu, what do you mean by this?
Tang Xiao said: "I want to meet the buyer behind you and help introduce me, how about it?"
Shopkeeper Yu said: "Where can I have any buyers behind me?" Boss Xu, aren't you embarrassed for me?"
Tang Xiao showed a cruel smile: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you take a look at this first." ”
As he spoke, Tang Xiao took out a few portraits, all of which were printed on the family of the shopkeeper Yu, and even the mistress and illegitimate child he raised outside, and under the portraits were written everyone's daily hobbies and places they often visited.
This was the method used by bandits in later generations to threaten wealthy merchants.
These things were so scary that the shopkeeper thought about them carefully, and after a while, he was covered in cold sweat.
He cried and begged: "Good man, do things by yourself, please don't hurt my family! You are a buyer in the Misty Demon Mountains, right? I will take you to meet those demon clans! Please be merciful, don't do anything to my family!"
Tang Xiao's smile became brighter: "Don't think about playing tricks, otherwise your family will die for your cleverness." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
"Also, if you do this kind of business, there must be a backer behind you, right? Tell me, who is he?"
Shopkeeper Yu replied without hesitation: "It's Miao Juncheng!"
"Good!"
......
Along the way, Tang Xiao inquired a lot about the situation inside the Misty Demon Ridge through Shopkeeper Yu.
Shopkeeper Yu's understanding of the Misty Demon Ridge is deeper than that of the spies of the You and Wu families.
I learned from Shopkeeper Yu that there were factions within the Misty Demon Ridge, in fact, this was expected by Tang Xiao, and there were anti-human factions and human exploitation factions in it.
The former hates humans and will never have anything to do with them, and their first reaction when they see humans is to kill each other.
The latter is willing to cooperate with humans, but this cooperation is carried out in secret.
The one who cooperated with the shopkeeper Yu was the chimpanzee general in the latter.
And the representative monster in the former is named Blood Silver, a wolf demon, and the same as the chimpanzee general, is the right hand of the demon king.
If Tang Xiao wanted to take the Misty Demon Ridge, Blood Silver was the target he had to kill.
With the shopkeeper leading the way, Tang Xiao and Pang Ye easily entered the forbidden area of the Misty Demon Ridge.
The two of them pretended to be the followers of Shopkeeper Yu, carrying a box, and always followed Shopkeeper Yu less than a meter behind, and they could take Shopkeeper Yu's life at any time.
Not long after, Shopkeeper Yu led the two to a cave, and after saying hello to a demon clan, he walked through a long secret passage and came to a stone room with a faint light, where he saw several demon clans wearing cloaks waiting for them.
Seeing that the other party was mysterious, Tang Xiao was very unhappy, he gave Pang Ye a look, and Pang Ye also gave him a look, indicating that he confirmed that the other party was just a group of demons who had transformed into mortal cultivation.
However, they were worried that the other party would have a trap, so they didn't shoot immediately, and they also wanted to wait for the big fish behind.
Shopkeeper Yu asked the two of them to lift the box up, and when they opened it, they saw that it was a box full of red grass.
These red cordata were all found by You Jin for Tang Xiao, and the number was actually not much, only sixty plants, but the bottom of the box was particularly high, so I thought that there were a lot of red cordata piled together.
Those little demons felt that there were hundreds of plants in the box, which was a lot of money for a little demon like them.
Shopkeeper Yu said: "This box of Hwayntuynia is all a small gift for a few people. It's just that the business that the villain wants to negotiate this time is too big, and I'm afraid that the chimpanzee general needs to come over to negotiate in person, so I have to help introduce the chimpanzee general. ”
A few little demons cautiously asked, "What business do you want to do with the general?"
Shopkeeper Yu showed a pretended calm smile: "If you can take out a box of red cordata as a gift, this list is naturally not a small business." 50,000 plants of Houttuynia cordata, I wonder what you think?"
A few little demons suddenly gasped, and the caution in their hearts was completely gone, they had never heard of so many red herbs at one time, and such a big deal was really not suitable for them to discuss.
After a few discussions, they told Shopkeeper Yu that they were going to try what General Chimpanzee meant, and asked Shopkeeper Yu to wait here.
They left for almost an hour, and Tang Xiao and Pang Ye were not in a hurry, but the shopkeeper Yu was sitting on pins and needles all the time, and he was panicked.
An hour later, a man who looked like an orangutan came out of the secret passage in armor, with a swaggering gait, like a gangster leader, followed by the little demons who had just negotiated.
There is no need to guess, just look at the appearance of the leader and the way he walks, and you can be sure that this is the chimpanzee general in human form.
Seeing this product appear, Tang Xiao and Pang Ye's eyes flashed with an imperceptible gleam.
Shopkeeper Yu immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully, and after a conversation, the other party also disclosed his identity in the introduction of his subordinates, it was the chimpanzee general.
When the chimpanzee general walked arrogantly past in front of Shopkeeper Yu and passed by Tang Xiao and Pang Ye, the two did not hesitate to make a move.
The shot was as fast as a dragon.
But although several demon clans are so arrogant that they don't look at people, they are always vigilant.
At the moment when the two moved, several demon clans responded.
