It was a haphazard house made of discarded wooden planks and cut branches, and the roof could be reached with a slight jump and a raised hand, and there were no tables and chairs, no lamps and candles, only a pile of hay, like a hay shed without cattle and horses.

Hu Guiyang fell on the grass pile and adjusted his most comfortable position, "I'm really tired." ”

Xiaocao also jumped on the haystack and landed beside Hu Guiyang, she grew up in the mountains, and there is a word "grass" in her name, so she didn't feel dirty at all, but felt very kind, and took a deep breath, "I haven't smelled this fragrance for a long time." ”

Shi Gui stood at the door reservedly, pretending to peek out of the door, but it was pitch black outside and he couldn't see anything.

Hu Guiyang put his hands behind his head and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, we are now sheep in the mouth of the tiger, except for waiting for the tiger to show mercy, what to do is wrong." ”

Shi Guida turned around and was still standing at the door, "You do have a friendship with Guo Juren, right?" He is now one of the leaders of the anti-thieves, and he can save our lives. ”

"Of course there is friendship, I once tipped him off, and I once prevented you from chasing and killing the villagers of Gaojia Village - you caught up later?"

Shi Guida was silent for a while before saying: "I caught up and killed some people, but not much, they had masters to rescue, but they killed a lot of my people." ”

"Rescue the masters?"

"Wenjiazhuang has obviously taught his disciples in the mountains for a long time, and these people have protected the displaced people and retreated from village to village, and there are many officers and soldiers, and they are approaching step by step in the back, and they dare not disperse and fight. Later, the Wen family suddenly came out and taught the fire god trick among the officers and soldiers, and gave gold pills to individual people, so there were also some masters among the officers and soldiers, who could compete with the homeless. That's about it. ”

Xiaocao snorted heavily, Hu Guiyang grabbed her hand, and then slowly let go.

"Does Guo Juren recognize you?"

"I shouldn't know it, I'm the captain of the West Factory, and I'm not responsible for commanding the battle, just sending people to find a way to find the enemy, but he may know my name, because there are more people under my command who cultivate the Fire God Technique, and they often clash with the masters among the homeless."

"Then you'd better not squeak later." Hu Guiyang suddenly remembered something, "When I was at the entrance of the village before, I heard what you mean, it seems that I got a lot of gold pills, where did you come from?" ”

"You're interrogating me?"

"In a place like this, only others are interrogating us. I'm just bored, or you ask me. ”

Shi Guida thought for a while and said, "There are a few villages that have retreated more urgently, and we have found some jade pendants, which seem to have been forgotten by the villagers for some years. Later, after listening to the dwarfs tell about the past, I realized that they had been associated with the homeless people for a long time, but at that time they themselves did not understand the various uses of the jade pendant. ”

Hu Guiyang suddenly laughed.

Shi Guida didn't like Brother Thirty-Six's inexplicable laughter before, but now he doesn't like it even more, and asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I suddenly remembered one thing, we were all kidnapped since we were children, sent to Wenjiazhuang, first to Jingxiang, and then to Broken Tengxia Gorge, trying all kinds of exercises for them, more dead and less alive."

"Hmm."

"Maybe our parents are Jingxiang refugees."

Shi Guida couldn't deny it, and he couldn't admit it, "Little Peony said that my original surname was Shi ......"

"She is not called Little Peony now, she changed her name to Wen Kuyu, and worked with Zhao Aqi to find a way to treat the hidden dangers of Jindan."

"Hidden dangers?"

"None of you feel hot?"

Shi Guida didn't want to talk about it, "It doesn't matter if we are the children of the exiles, the exiles should all submit to the imperial court, we are just destined to be one step ahead." ”

Hu Guiyang laughed again, Xiaocao came closer, and said in a low voice: "I think you are from the mountains." ”

Hu Guiyang laughed.

"Shh Shi Guida at the door turned around and looked out again.

Hu Guiyang put away his laughter, and also heard the buzzing outside, which became louder and louder, more and more solemn, as if accompanied by a torrential rain with roaring thunder.

"Vulcan Formula." Hu Guiyang only heard a few words before making a judgment.

"Hmm. They are absorbing the essence of the Dan acupoint. Shi Guida slowly circled, quickly stopped, and looked out through the gap in the plank, "I can see that the Dan cave here is also bulging and glowing." ”

Hu Guiyang was also interested, got up and walked to Shi Guida's side.

He also saw that there was a red light coming out of the well in the distance, several zhang high, the light was not very strong, and it could only vaguely illuminate a small place, the mouth of the well was more than a zhang above the ground, and there were circles of people standing around, reciting the fire god trick in their mouths.

"How many people are there?" Hu Guiyang asked in surprise.

"At least a thousand." Shi Guida was also surprised, he was more generous, and after getting the golden pill, he tried to share it with everyone as much as possible, but after occupying the Dan acupoint, no one was allowed to approach, and he had to wait for the factory to arrive, but the displaced people did not have these restrictions, and all of them shared the Dan acupoint.

"If you can't persuade the displaced people to surrender, the battle will ...... tomorrow" Shi Guida began to worry about the officers and soldiers.

Xiaocao also came over to take a look, "These people are a little scary. ”

"So don't accept the golden pill, let alone get close to the Dan cave." Hu Guiyang reminded him whenever he had the chance.

"Got it." Xiaocao was tired of the frequent reminders, "I'm just looking, aren't you watching too?" ”

Shi Guida took a step back, "Everyone is eager for Jin Dan, why aren't you affected at all?" ”

"Because I'm lazy." Hu Guiyang still looked out against the seam of the board, "I don't want to be an official, and I don't want to practice." ”

Shi Gui snorted, and suddenly turned to look at the door.

Hu Guiyang and Xiaocao also turned around, and saw that there was one more person at the door.

"This is just the beginning." The man at the door said.

"Guo Juren?" Hu Guiyang couldn't see the face clearly, and vaguely remembered this voice.

"Hmm."

Guo Juren took two steps forward, Hu Guiyang also took two steps forward, and Shi Guida retreated to the back.

Still no one lit the lamp, Guo Juren continued: "Soon, an unprecedentedly powerful army will be born here, invincible in the world, not only able to repel officers and soldiers, but also to attack the capital all the way to ask the emperor for an explanation." ”

"Wow, the last time we met, you weren't that ambitious." Hu Guiyang was not angry because of the other party's arrogant rhetoric.

"Liu Bang started as a small official, Zhu Yuanzhang is just a poor monk, the emperor takes turns, everyone has a chance."

"I don't." Hu Guiyang said with a smile, "I think it's too tiring to be an emperor, and I have to guard against someone usurping the throne every day." ”

Guo Juren sneered, "What are you doing here?" I will not kill you, but I will not let you talk nonsense, if you want to persuade you to surrender, you should put it away. ”

"You're about to have an invincible army in the world, and I'll persuade you to surrender."

Guo Juren laughed twice, and had a good impression of the swear words, "You know the times." ”

"Sure, but you know what's going on with the Dan Cave, right?"

"I've seen a dwarf, and I've heard him say a strange thing, we're not afraid, even if half of us die, we're still invincible."

Shi Guida couldn't hold back any longer, and said: "You only have one Dan cave, and there are four officers and soldiers. ”

"Haha, this is exactly the stupidity of the officers and soldiers, you occupy the Dan cave but are not willing to share, but fence it up, waiting to ask your boss for credit. We are willing to share, the mountain people are all brothers, everyone can absorb the essence of the Dan Cave, tomorrow we will launch an attack outside the valley, take all the Dan Cave, before the 15th of July, enough for all of us to become masters. ”

It's also tomorrow, Hu Guiyang thought to himself that tomorrow would probably be very lively, "Congratulations to Guo Juren, you will be the founding emperor in the future, right?" ”

Shi Gui frowned, although he had long known that Hu Guiyang was bold and this was an anti-thief territory, but it was too much to say such a thing.

Guo Juren was even more surprised than Shi Guida, "How can I be the founding emperor?" There are many heroes among the mountain people, where can I get my turn? ”

"Who could that be?"

Guo Juren was immediately vigilant, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, it's just curiosity, who do you choose to be the leader? The smartest? The most powerful martial arts? The most prestigious? The oldest? ”

"It's not yet this point, the mountain people come from different villages, each has its own subordination, and we will discuss it after the defeat of the officers and soldiers and the situation is stable."

"Don't have a boss yet?"

"Nope."

"But there must be a few candidates, right?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter, just like when I went into the mountain to ventilate the news, I also ventilated the news this time, so I would like to remind you: You think it's too early for the election leader, but I'm afraid that some people think it's the right time."

Guo Juren sneered, "Do you think of us as insidious officials in the court?" ”

"You just said that when you sacrifice on the 15th day of July, you are not afraid that half of the mountain people will die, so no one is more ruthless than you, start in advance, and kill a few more people? Anyway, this does not affect the strength of the mountain people. ”

Guo Juren was stunned for a while, a series of swear words came out of his mouth, turned around and left, and closed the door from the outside.

When there was no sound outside, Shi Gui Dao: "Captain Hu's skill in sowing discord is still so powerful. ”

"I was provoked before, but I never provoked others. In retrospect, I still learned this trick from He Million, and if I wanted to provoke a group of people, I threw them a contentious thing. The mountain people want to be emperors, and they already have a competitive heart, so they don't need me to provoke, they just need to point it out. ”

"I'm afraid that the distant water will not quench the thirst of the near, the officers and soldiers will attack early tomorrow morning, and the thieves will also seize the Danxue, the big battle is imminent, but we can't do anything."

"You are worried about the officers and soldiers, but I am worried about these mountain people, they are completely dependent on the Danxue, and after the capture, they will inevitably divide their troops to guard them, and they will not leave easily, and they will have to take time to absorb the essence every day. The two factory men will soon bring a large number of soldiers, and if they are defeated, the mountain people will be defeated. ”

"What shall we do? I think the provocation has been completed, there is no need to persuade him to surrender, it is better to escape here, I think I can break the wooden wall. "Shi Guida has taken Jindan and is quite confident in his skills.

"Wait, maybe I can persuade them to stay away from the Danxue, or retreat to the mountains, or surrender on the spot and settle as a citizen."

"Except for you, no one can resist the temptation of Jin Dan."

"You said you were going to try."

Shi Gui was speechless.

Xiaocao was not interested in the conversation between the two, and kept looking at the Dan cave outside, and then said, "The red light has weakened, and everyone is scattering." ”

Hu Guiyang said: "On the contrary, when the crowd disperses, the red light will weaken. ”

Xiaocao was stunned for a moment, and became more and more unable to tell what came first and what came after.

The door was opened again, and the person who came in was not Guo Juren, but Yuan Mao, "Captain Hu." ”

"Hey, you're not dead yet." Hu Guiyang happily greeted him.

Yuan Mao didn't die, but when he was a prisoner, he didn't show joy to see Hu Guiyang, "There is a person named Gu Zhongxian who invites you to come over and meet." ”

"Immortal in the valley? He's not dead yet? Hu Guiyang was taken aback.

Many years ago, it was the Gu Zhong Immortal who collected many children and brought them from Jingxiang to Broken Teng Gorge, and he knew the past in more detail than anyone else.
