Chapter 223: Up the Mountain
The next day, Lin Feng and Jin Rui rushed to the town with Su Xiaoya, and after hearing about the plan of the Nine Emperor Princes and Beiye Xuan, Lin Feng was also full of praise.
"At the moment, we are on the passive side, the plan of the prince and the Nine Emperor Princes has successfully reversed our current situation, but I am afraid that even the Southern Barbarian National Master would not have imagined that we would plan like this!" Lin Feng has praised others rarely, but this praise can't be contained.
The Nine Emperors were a little embarrassed, he had always been covered by the light of his elder brothers when he grew so big, and this was the first time that someone praised him so directly: "Lin Gongzi doesn't have to be like this, isn't this also for my third brother and third sister-in-law?" If Lin Gongzi was here yesterday, he would have been able to come up with such a plan. The Nine Emperor Princes became modest, and they were not arrogant at all when they spoke.
Lin Feng didn't know why he also began to be polite, and praised each other with the Nine Emperor Princes: "No, no, no, this kind of plan is still only something that the Nine Emperor Princes and the prince can come up with, how can ordinary people like us think of this kind of plan?" ”
Jin Rui was really anxious to watch from the side, and directly interrupted the praise of the two: "Okay, okay, let's hurry up and prepare to enter the mountain, if it is delayed any longer, I don't know when it will be." ”
Lin Feng had already glanced at Jin Rui reproachfully, now was a good time to be close to the Nine Emperor Princes, but Jin Rui couldn't see his thoughts, and wasted such a good opportunity in vain.
"Stop talking, let's see how we get into the mountain first." Kitano Xuan quietly glanced at Su Xiaoya, who was hiding behind Jin Rui, his emotions that had been calm for many days began to get irritable again when he saw Su Xiaoya.
The four of them discussed it a little, but fortunately, when Lin Feng and Jin Rui had already come over, the Nine Emperor Princes and Kitano Xuan had already discussed the general plan, and now the four of them just discussed the details a little more.
Two hours later, a large number of people walked out of the inconspicuous inn in the next town of Weihu Mountain one after another, but as soon as these people left the inn, they scattered in the town in twos and threes, making people unable to catch the traces.
"Sister Xiaoya, don't be afraid, the prince and the Nine Emperor Princes will go from the north side of the mountain to lure those people away, we just need to quietly grope up from the south." Jin Rui took Su Xiaoya's hand and comforted her, she could even sense that Su Xiaoya was trembling slightly.
Su Xiaoya smiled at Jin Rui: "I'm not afraid...... It's just a little nervous, I don't know what those national teachers are like, what if they catch us? "After all, the goal of those people now is to let Kitano Xuan let go of Anning, who knows if this national teacher will be frenzied to arrest him, just to threaten Beiye Xuan in exchange for Anning?
Jin Rui was speechless for a while, she and Lin Feng really had no ability to protect Su Xiaoya, but the Nine Emperor Princes and Beiye Xuan did not tell the two how to protect Su Xiaoya when they discussed the plan.
"Don't talk about it yet, we're about to get close to the foot of the mountain, maybe there will be people from the Southern Barbarian National Master nearby, if we attract them here, it will be troublesome." Lin Feng on the side had hurriedly grabbed Su Xiaoya and Jin Rui, these two people did not have the slightest sense of crisis, and they could even talk, just like they used to be in King Jin's mansion.
Jin Rui hurriedly shut up and took out the map given to them by the Nine Emperor Princes: "We should be able to reach the place where the master lives all the way by following this path to the south. I just don't know if the master can find us in time. Jin Rui looked at the routes marked on the map, these routes were all taken by Kitano Xuan and the Nine Emperor Princes when they went down the mountain, only the masters could know this road, presumably the masters should know the intentions of the three of them.
The three of them sneaked up the mountain, and I don't know if it was because the eyeliner of the Southern Barbarian National Master in the north was attracted by Kitano Xuan and the Nine Emperor Princes or for other reasons, the three of them didn't encounter any obstacles along the way.
"No, no, no, it's so tiring, I don't have any strength at all." After the three of them walked for nearly an hour, Jin Rui sat on the ground panting.
Lin Feng looked at Jin Rui helplessly: "How can we successfully meet with the Nine Emperor Princes and the Prince?" If we had to rest for half a day after walking like you did, we wouldn't be able to find someone superior even at night. Seeing that it was not early now, Lin Feng was already anxious, there were still two women by his side, and he couldn't allow himself to make any mistakes here.
Jin Rui's face was full of grievances, this was her father-in-law, how could Lin Feng's first reaction at this time not be to care about himself, but to blame himself here for being useless?
"I don't care, I don't have the strength now anyway, who knows where that master lives? If I don't rest now, I won't have the strength to do it later! Jin Rui sat on the ground angrily and twisted his head to the side, not wanting to listen to Lin Feng's continued nagging.
Su Xiaoya on the side pursed her lips and smiled: "Forget it, just let Jin Rui rest and rest, she hasn't traveled so far, and it's normal to want to rest and rest." After speaking, Su Xiaoya also sat down with Jin Rui, without the slightest intention of giving in to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, and at this time, an ordinary-looking little old man walked over with a shabby basket on his back: "The three of you are also here to find a master in the world?" I don't know what the three of them want to find a master for? ”
Jin Rui glanced up at the little old man, but he was just an ordinary appearance, without a bit of a superior temperament, and even this looked like his family background was not very good: "Uncle, why are you in the mountains?" Didn't you say that this mountain is usually not visited by many people? You're not afraid of any accidents when you go up the mountain alone? ”
The little old man saw that Jin Rui was lively and cute, and what he said was not so annoying, so he simply said: "Little old man, I have always lived here, this mountain is my home, how can I be afraid of any accidents?" But then again, what exactly are you guys here for? Although the little old man was asking Jin Rui and Lin Feng, his eyes were staring at Su Xiaoya tightly, as if he already knew that the three of them were going up the mountain for Su Xiaoya.
"We just want to go up the mountain and ask the master about something, and there is nothing else." Saying that, Jin Rui also moved in front of Su Xiaoya, blocking the little old man's eyes looking at Su Xiaoya.
Who knew that Jin Rui's every move was watched by the little old man, and seeing Jin Rui beware of himself like this, the little old man smiled: "Okay, I also know the general meaning of the few of you going up the mountain." Come, I'll take you to the worldly master! After speaking, the little old man turned his head and left, regardless of whether Jin Rui and the three would follow him.
"Why is this old man so strange? He said that he had always lived on this mountain, did he know a master of the world? Jin Rui took Su Xiaoya's hand and whispered.
Su Xiaoya shook her head suspiciously, this little old man revealed a strange feeling all over his body, if it weren't for the fact that this little old man was too ordinary, and he didn't use the mysterious temperament of a master in the world, Su Xiaoya would really think that this little old man was the so-called master in the world.
"Uncle, I don't know how many years you've lived on this mountain? Have you been living on the mountain since the time when there was a legend of a superior in the world? Lin Feng was already following the little old man's side, and he was very dog-legged and began to get close to the little old man.
The little old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I don't know how many years I've lived on this mountain, but I really haven't seen any worldly masters." You too, how did you remember to come to this mountain to find the worldly masters? Moreover...... The path you have just taken is not something that ordinary people can know. Do you know something, young man? ”
The little old man looked at Lin Feng meaningfully, as if he had seen through Lin Feng's whole person. Lin Feng was already weak-hearted, so he had no choice but to say, "Actually, this matter really can't be known to too many people...... But if you have to figure it out, you'll naturally tell him when we see someone from outside the world. ”
The little old man laughed contemptuously, obviously not caring about the so-called truth.
The three of them followed the little old man slowly to an attic. This attic has two floors up and down, and the stairs are just outside, and it looks like the attic of the boudoir's daughter's house.
"I really didn't expect that an old man with such an ordinary appearance would also like the attic of his daughter's house." Jin Rui whispered to Su Xiaoya.
When Su Xiaoya was about to speak, the little old man who had been walking in front said, "Little girl, don't think that I don't know anything if you say bad things about me behind my back." Although I'm old, my ears are still very good, don't you want to play any tricks behind me! ”
This little old man is clearly still several meters away from them, how can what they say still be heard by the little old man?! Jin Rui hurriedly covered his mouth in fright, and didn't dare to say anything more.
After entering the attic, the little old man put down his basket and said casually: "Okay, can you tell me what the purpose of going up the mountain is now?" …… Wait, there's two more people here! The little old man suddenly looked out the door and laughed.
Lin Feng was already horrified, how could this little old man look like he knew everything?
"Uncle, is there a master in this world...... Is it yourself? "The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more wrong it became, it was clear that the legend said that there was only a master living here on this Weihu Mountain, how could there be a little old man out of thin air? What's more, this little old man looks like a chattering god, isn't he just like those worldly masters who are different from ordinary people?
The little old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "That's it, let's wait for those two boys to come over!" ”
