The night is cool and breezy and the moonlight is drenched. The climate in Shuzhong is warm, although it has just passed the early spring, the trees in the mountains and forests seem to have grown extremely prosperous.

A dozen or so dark figures are quietly moving forward in the mountains and forests, and the spring rain of the past few days has made the mountain road look a little muddy, so that every time these people's feet leave the ground, there will be a crackling sound, mixed with the sound of even breathing gently echoing in the mountains.

"Childe, you can see Shidian Village when you climb over this mountain!" A person in front of him slowed down and whispered.

The sharp and unique voice is very recognizable, not who the monkey tip is.

Yang Yi, who was walking in the middle of the team, stopped, shook off the spring mud sticking to his shoes, and said, "Send a signal, see where Lao Hu and they are." ”

The monkey nodded his head, walked alone to a large rock protruding from the mountainside in front of the mountain road in front of him, put his fingers in his mouth, and blew a long and graceful whistle vigorously, which at first glance sounded a little like a nightingale, but it had a unique pattern.

The whistle of the monkey's tip echoed back and forth in the mountains and forests, as if many nightingales were screaming.

After a dozen breaths, a long "nightingale" whistle was heard on the top of the mountain, and the rhythm of the undulating sound was slightly different from that played by the monkey tip.

After listening to the whistle on the mountain, Monkey Jian'er was overjoyed, jumped off the boulder and came to the team, suppressed his voice and said: "Childe, Lao Hu is safe over there, signal that we can go over!" ”

Yang Yi nodded, no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and everyone continued to walk briskly towards the opposite mountain.

In less than half an hour, Yang Yi and the others had climbed to the top of the mountain, and before Yang Yi could take a breath, he saw a figure jumping down from a big tree on the top of the mountain, and walked straight to Yang Yi and the others.

"It's Lao Hu!" The sharp-eyed Iron Bull said happily.

Yang Yi looked at it intently, Hu Shou was dressed in black, his face was smeared with moss, his body was also covered with branches and dead leaves, he was holding a crossbow in his hand, and he was also equipped with a short sword and dagger at his waist, which was very difficult to identify if he was not an extremely familiar person.

This is Yang Yi's method of teaching Hu Shou's special forces to conceal, and this body is lying down in the bushes, not to mention that it is night, and it is difficult to be found even in the daytime.

Hu Shou hurriedly came to Yang Yi and bowed in a low voice: "Hu Shou has seen Gongzi!" ”

Yang Yi raised his hand to signal Hu Shou not to be polite, and asked, "Old Hu, are you okay?" What about the others? ”

Hu Shou's heart warmed, he has been following Yang Yi for a long time, their Royal Highness the Nine Nerds has never liked to express such things as affection, but after following him for a long time, you will find that Yang Yi's affection is always manifested in very subtle places. For example, every time the generals go to complete a dangerous task, the first thing Yang Yi says after meeting him is never to care about whether the task is completed, but to ask about the safety of everyone.

This kind of concern blurted out is obviously not a word to win people's hearts, but a real worry.

Hu Shou clenched his fists and replied, "The other brothers are scattered around the village to monitor the Zhen people. ”

"The people have arrived?" Yang Yi frowned.

Hu Shou stood up and pushed aside the bushes beside the road so that everyone could see the scene down the mountain.

Yang Yi stepped forward, and by the moonlight, he could vaguely see a small village at the foot of the mountain from the gap in the bushes, which was the Shinian Village where he agreed to meet with the Di people.

At this time, there was still a slow light in the village.

Hu Shouning said: "The people of the Zhen tribe arrived more than an hour ago, there are about twenty people, I don't know Shama Naigu, but the Taoist of Wuwei is indeed in that group of people." ”

Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully, he was still confident in Hu Shou's reconnaissance ability, since he said that there were only one or twenty people from the Di tribe, then at least there would be no other people from the Di tribe in the surrounding area.

Yang Yi pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, Monkey Jian'er and Tie Niu will follow me into the village, and the others will all enter in a hidden way, occupy the commanding heights and both ends of the village, and send a signal as soon as there is a situation." ”

"Childe, wouldn't it be safe for you to only bring two people in?" Hu Shou said worriedly.

Yang Yi explained: "If the Zhen people want to kill me, even if all of us go in, it will be useless, and you stay outside so that they can't figure out our details, which is more deterrent." ”

Everyone glanced at each other and felt that Yang Yi's analysis made some sense, so they no longer hesitated at the moment, and took advantage of the moonlight to touch down the mountain.

Stone Mill Village, named because there is a huge stone mill at the entrance of the village, is a small village in the mountains of Kangzhou Prefecture, and the villagers are about 20 households. Although there are few people, the people here live a very peaceful life.

But tonight, a group of Zhen people came to the village, and they ordered every family not to go out at night, otherwise they would have to worry about their lives. The somewhat old ancestral hall in the middle of the village was requisitioned by these Di people, and no one knew what the Di people wanted to do.

At this time, the ancestral hall of the village has been surrounded by the Zhen people, and the ancestral hall is brightly lit, and the figures can be faintly seen shaking.

A sturdy Zhen people sat in the middle of the shrine and drank a sip of wine jugs with some impatience, this person was dressed a little strangely, his upper body was only draped in an animal skin shirt, two delicate small scimitars hung from his waist, and there was a necklace made of animal bones on his chest, and the muscles on his body looked dark and shiny in the light, and his long hair was not tied in a bun, but casually draped over his shoulders.

This man was none other than the leader of the Zhen people--- Shama Naigu.

Shama Naigu sat on the stool with his waist straight, and said in a deep voice: "Wuwei Dao is long, the moon is already up, does that timid light man really dare to come?" I don't want to waste precious time. ”

The Wuwei Dao Chief, who was sitting opposite Shamanaigu and was sitting in enlightenment, opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Chief, don't worry, Connecticut City is not close to here, even if it is urgent, it will take some time. ”

Shama Naigu glanced at Wuwei Daoren, frowned and said: "Dao Chief, you know that I, Shama Naigu, have always disliked the Central Plains people, and you are kind to us Zhen people, so I agreed to let you come to see him, but the Central Plains people are cunning, if there is any accident, don't blame me for not showing mercy." ”

Shamanaigu is a very strange Zhen people, he likes the Central Plains culture of Daguang, and for this reason, he has specially sought a teacher from the Guangren to study, but he looks down on the Central Plains people, thinking that they are too cowardly and hypocritical to be worthy of that kind of civilization.

After a pause, Shama Naigu added: "Even if he has the ring of contract, it doesn't mean that he can be unscrupulous. ”

Wuwei Daoist smiled and said: "Chief, since I have been this middleman, I will naturally be responsible to the end, if he dares to be unfavorable to you, the leader, Lao Dao will fight for this old life and seek justice for you." ”
