Chapter 158: Friend or Foe?!
"Taixiao is not in Taishan?!"
Yanagishita Buhui and Qiu Ruoshui both widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Qiqi.
"I don't know if it's in Taishan, I only know that it's not in that cave now!"
Qi Qi shook his head and said.
"Then how did you know that Tai Fei wasn't in its cave?!"
Yanagishita asked curiously, "Could it be that you went in and saw it?!" ”
"Almost!"
Qi Qi actually nodded.
"You're really in!?"
Qiu Ruoshui was a little suspicious of Qi Qi's words: "Why don't I believe it like that?!" Tell me, how did you get in?! ”
"This... I haven't been there myself, but it's actually no different if I've followed up! ”
Qi Qi glanced at Qiu Ruoshui stupidly, and said distinctly.
"Really!? Come! Tell me, what the hell is going on?! ”
Qiu Ruoshui smiled slightly and looked at Qi Qi.
"Didn't I mention it just now, I secretly followed that mountain road, all the way to avoid those ambushes, and walked all the way in the mountains. The mountain road is tortuous and difficult to navigate, and in some places the road is still very narrow, with cliffs on both sides, and there is nowhere to hide from both sides of the road. It's inconvenient for me to just walk straight over, so I can only go around and around. Later, after many difficulties and dangers, this road finally came to an end. At the end of this is a huge valley, relatively flat, which looks like a large square. There are many, many people standing in the square, neatly arranged, looking very imposing. They were dressed in similar attire to those who were ambushed on the side of the road, and they looked like a group. ”
Qi Qi took a breath and continued: "When I saw it, I was shocked, this guy is going to start a large-scale war here?!" So many people gathered?! I wondered, could they have something to do with Tai Fei too?! Or, just come here to find Tai Xu?! Besides, even if they have nothing to do with Taifei, then this is not good. There are so many of them going here, we are so small in number, and we are late, so we can't do anything?! You say, isn't that reasonable?! ”
"Yes! Truly! You're right! ”
Yanagi Buhui was fascinated by what he heard, and when he saw Qiqi stop and ask him, he quickly nodded and said without hesitation.
"So, I just wanted to get closer, to find out what they were doing, why they were here, and better to find out where Taiyu was. However, the square was full of people, and if I swaggered over, they would surely find me at the first time, and then, in one fell swoop, they would cut me with a thousand knives and dismembered my body. It's too risky for me to do that! ”
So I wandered around the perimeter of the square to see if I could find a way to get closer. Who knows, after such a round, I really found a problem. There are actually three roads leading to this square, that is, the three mountain roads to the north, south and west end in the same square. I took a general look, and on both sides of the other two mountain roads, there were also a lot of killers in black clothes who were ambushed from time to time. I have roughly estimated that there are about two or three thousand people in total, including the ambush soldiers on the three mountain roads, plus the soldiers lined up in array on the square, and the scattered soldiers around the square. ”
"So much?!"
Yanagi Buhui frowned: "What are these people?!" ”
"I haven't figured out what happened."
Qi Qi shook his head and continued: "Seeing that they are so powerful, I don't dare to expose them, so I have to quietly continue to check around the square. The hard work paid off, and at last, I was on the east side of the square," he said, pointing to the mountain in front of him, "In this direction, near the foot of the mountain, there was a very large rock, two or three feet high. Behind the boulder, there was a cave, and at the entrance of the cave stood many people, all looking inside the cave, as if they were waiting for something. As soon as I looked, wow, there's a play! So he hurriedly jumped on his waist, jumped three times and jumped two times, and jumped on top of the big rock. Because this big stone is too huge, there is a large piece of it on the top that is connected with the mountain, and the rocks on the top are vertical and horizontal, uneven, and it is easy to hide my whereabouts. ”
"I heard the noise of people in the cave, as if someone was talking loudly inside, and I don't know if it was a quarrel. The cave didn't look big, the echoes were loud, and I couldn't hear what was going on in the cave for a while. But they didn't dare to move, for fear that they would find out, so they lurked there, and didn't dare to move. ”
Later, a large group of people came out of the cave, and it was heard that several of these people were very powerful and had a strange cultivation, as if they were several leaders of this group. As long as a few of them spoke, everyone else listened with bated breath, not daring to get drunk or speak indiscriminately. It was here that I overheard, and it was too far from its hole. ”
Yanagishita Buhui knew that after saying so much, Qi Qi had finally reached the most critical place. Therefore, he didn't dare to interject, and listened attentively, for fear of missing a word, and even more afraid of interrupting Qiqi's train of thought and not being able to speak clearly.
"One person said, big brother, in the past two days, we have searched here several times, and we have not found anything, I feel that Taifei should not be here anymore, and we don't need to wait for it here stupidly, right? The other person, probably his eldest brother, said, if it's not here, where else can it go?! As we told us, this is where it lives. I heard another person say, big brother, could it be that Taiyu found something, and then secretly escaped first?! I couldn't see the big brother's movements, I just heard him say, probably not! Our plan, except for our alliance leader and a few of our brothers, no one knows about it! The first person said it again, so how can you explain the sudden disappearance of Tai Fei?! This time last week, it was happily here! As soon as these words came out, several of them suddenly stopped talking. After a while, the eldest brother said, this matter is very strange, second, wait a while, you can continue to interrogate the relevant personnel who have been guarding this neighborhood since last week, and you can expand the scope of the review to all the people who have appeared here and in the vicinity from last week to the present, and investigate in detail, and strive to find out the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible, we have to find it quickly, take it away as soon as possible, and we can't stay here for a long time. Then, while chatting, the men walked off into the distance. When I heard them walking away, I dared to stand up secretly, and while the people below them were not paying attention, I took a moment to fly back at once. ”
After speaking, Qi Qi nodded and said seriously: "Well, that's the thing; Well, that's the case, I'm done! Is there anything you two have any questions about me?! ”
"Not yet!"
Yanagi Buhui replied subconsciously, as soon as the words came out, he felt that it was too rude, so he quickly raised his head and said, "Qiqi, thank you for your hard work, the task was completed very well, and the description of the matter is also very good." The flow of the sentence is clear, the logic is clear, and Ruoshui and I haven't found any problems for a while. ”
He paused for a moment and said, "That's it, Qiqi!" You rest first, Ruoshui and I will think about it again, discuss and discuss, the amount of information you provide is too much, we can't fully understand it for a while, we have to leave us some time to think! Let's ask you again when I have any questions! ”
When Qi Qi heard this, he nodded contentedly, walked to the side, and wanted to lie down to rest, but hesitated, stood up again, and swept towards the direction of Xiao Zhi's vigilance.
Looking at the back of Qiqi in the distance, Yanagi Buhui smiled, and his face returned to seriousness.
"Commander, what are you thinking?!"
Qiu Ruoshui looked at Liu Shita with a smile and asked softly.
"I'm wondering, where the hell are these guys coming from?! What is the relationship with Taifei?! For the sake of Taifei, such an astonishing number of people were dispatched? ”
Yanagishita Buhui thought for a while and said, "Isn't it a bit of a fuss to be able to dispatch so many people just for a mere one?!" ”
"Well, it is indeed a bit strange that so many well-trained warriors and killers suddenly appeared in this desolate and remote ravine!"
Qiu Ruoshui nodded, frowned and said, "Or, do they think that Tai Fei is particularly important, and there must be so many people to go out to ensure that nothing goes wrong?!" However, listening to what Qi Qi just said, I feel that these people and Tai Fei seem to have some cooperative relationship?! ”
"Yes! I thought so too! ”
Yanagishita shook his head, and continued, "However, since it's a partnership, why are they looking for it so excitedly?!" And said that it might have been discovered by Tai Xu?! ”
As he spoke, he scratched his head.
"By the way, could it be so?!"
Suddenly, Yanagishita's eyes lit up, and he thought about it.
"Look, can you understand that?!"
He looked at Qiu Ruoshui excitedly and said, "Taifei turned out to be in a group with this gang, and everyone worked together to do something." This matter, maybe the final result, or maybe the process, will be unfavorable to Taifei, so when Taifei knew this, he left by himself. The cooperation was terminated. And these people are unwilling to give up halfway, so they do everything possible to find Taifei's whereabouts, and after finding Taifei, they will use some means to force Taifei to comply and complete their cooperation. ”
"Does this assumption of mine make some sense?!"
After Liu Shita Buhui finished speaking, he smiled happily, looked at Qiu Ruoshui and said, "Look at it, where are the loopholes, put them forward to improve them." ”
"It's possible!"
After listening to this, Qiu Ruoshui lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head and said, "Everything makes sense!" Such a possibility should not be ruled out! ”
"We can first consider our next course of action according to this idea!"
"Hmm!"
Yanagishita nodded.
"I think we'd better figure out who these people are and where they came from?! What does it have to do with Tai Fei?! Where did Tai Fei go again?! Or rather, what is Tai Yu running away from or dodging?! ”
"Yes!"
Qiu Ruoshui agreed: "These things are also information that should have been obtained by the Special Service Strategic Guard. Let me arrange it. ”
She thought for a moment, raised her head, and shouted softly: "Three Broken, Four Evil, Poor Qi, you guys come here!" ”
As soon as the words fell, several strong winds blew in his face.
Before the wind stopped, the three breaks and the four evils were already standing in front of Qiu Ruoshui.
Immediately after, a black shadow flashed in the distance, and in an instant, Qi Qi stood calmly in front of him.
"Everyone's task just now has been well accomplished! In particular, Qiqi provided a lot of information and gave us clear instructions on the next step of the work. ”
Qiu Ruoshui looked at a few of them, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "However, I discussed with the legion commander, in order to better deploy our personnel arrangements and gain insight into all the conspiracies and tricks of the other party, we need more information." For example, who the hell are these people and where did they come from?! What do they have to do with Tai Fei?! What is the purpose of this trip? Where has it gone? ”
She paused, "With this information, we can deal with these people in a targeted manner and according to local conditions." After all, we still don't know anything about whether these people are friends or foes with us. ”
"Do you understand?!"
"Got it!"
Sanpo, Sisha, and Qiqi all replied in a low voice.
"Actually, you don't have to go, I'll be enough!"
Qi Qi suddenly turned around and said to Sanpo and Sisha: "There are many people, it is easier to expose the target, but it is not safe enough, it is better for me to go by myself." ”
"So what are you going to do?!"
Yanagishita Buhui asked a little curiously: "There are so many people on the other side, you can do it alone?!" ”
"I'm not going to fight with them, whether it's more or less?!"
Qi Qi smiled mysteriously and said, "Wait here, I'll come as soon as I go!" ”
After speaking, the figure flashed and disappeared again.
"Seeing how confident it looks, maybe, it really has a way!"
Looking at everyone's surprised look, Yanagi Buhui said to everyone with a smile: "Don't underestimate it, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as an ancient divine beast, created by the essence aura of heaven and earth, not to be underestimated." ”
"You don't know, Qiqi even swallowed me in his stomach!"
After saying that, he laughed.
"How can such a thing?!"
Qiu Ruoshui was also taken aback, although she knew that it was all in the past, but looking at her expression, she still looked very nervous.
"At that time, Qiqi didn't know me! Thought I was just a stranger to food! Haha, so, with a tongue sticking out, it swallowed me easily! ”
Thinking of the scene at that time, Yanagi was afraid and funny.
"By the way, Legion Commander, since Tai Fei is no longer here, shall we continue to search here, or should we change places?!"
Qiu Ruoshui thought about it and suddenly asked.
"Change places?!"
Yanagishita Buhui raised his head, looked at Qiu Ruoshui, and asked with a smile, "Where to change?!" Recently, there has been an epidemic all over the world, and it is not just in Eshizhou. In addition, the outbreaks of epidemics around the world have come and gone, and the incubation period is also different, which is very related to the local environment, climate, personnel structure and living habits, and there is no way to figure out Tai Fei's whereabouts. This may also be the reason why Black and White Impermanence let us go directly to its lair to find it, right?! ”
"Yes!"
Qiu Ruoshui sighed: "The world is so big, trying to find a little Taiyu is even more difficult than looking for a needle in the sea, and it is even more incredible." ”
"yes!"
Yanagishita Buhui nodded and said, "What's more, there is such a group of people who suddenly appeared here, what their purpose is, whether they are doing good or evil, we don't know." I have a gut feeling that Taiyu is in this mountain, but not in that cave. And these people may also have this idea, so they blocked all the roads in and out of the mountain here, first, to prevent outsiders from entering, and second, to prevent Taiyu from escaping. ”
"So, the Legion Commander means...
Qiu Ruoshui looked at Liu Xia and hesitated.
"Yes!"
Yanagi Buhui nodded and said firmly: "Let's stay here for the time being, and actively look for Taiyu." If the other party finds it first, let's try to grab it! ”
"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind?!"
Qiu Ruoshui smiled slyly and covered her mouth and said.
"Haha, yes, or it can be said that the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits!"
Yanagishita Buhui smiled and said, "Let's be fishermen!" Yellow Sparrow! ”
"However, if we want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, we have to take action."
Qiu Ruoshui smiled and said, "At least, don't let the other party see that there is an old fisherman sitting here!" Isn't it?! ”
"Isn't it?! If you don't tell me, I've really forgotten about it! ”
Yanagi Buhui was shocked in his heart, indeed, since the other party has been so strict, maybe they know everything about the actions on our side?!
You have to find a place to hide first!
Yanagishita raised his head and looked at the surrounding mountains.
This is a relatively flat place on the slope of the eastern side of Taishan, and further up, there is the main mountain of Taishan. The mountains are steep and rocky, and they look red, as if they have been burned by smoke and fire.
According to Yanagishita's previous camping experience, he must find a place facing the sun, leeward, sheltering from the wind and rain, preferably with a water source nearby, and grass, green trees, red flowers, etc. on the side.
However, the environment here is something that Yanagishita Fuhui could never have dreamed of.
The entire Taishan Mountain was bare, almost all of it was stones, sand, and not even a single tree could be seen. Occasionally, I saw a few scorched trees and dead branches, and I don't know what year and month the antiquities were left behind, standing so abruptly on the bare mountain, it seemed indescribably funny and weird.
In Yanagishita's view, it is like a prop used in filming film and television dramas, placed there.
So, who is the director?!
Set up camp here?!
Just kidding! How do you set up camp?!
Including Qi Qi, there were thirteen people in total, and everyone just carried their daily equipment with them, and they didn't prepare any tents, cooking utensils, and other tools at all.
However, everyone is a strong person, and it should not be impossible to make do with it for a night.
Besides, it's just dawning.
It's a new day.
The time left for us, it should be said, is still very sufficient.
"Look, it's still early! It's just dawning! All we need to do is hide our whereabouts before the sun rises! ”
Yanagi Buhui pointed to the sun that was about to rise in the east, and said to Qiu Ruoshui: "Although the field of vision here is very open, there is no obstruction and concealment, let's look around, the vision is very good, but others look from the surroundings, and the vision is also very good." Once the other party finds out about us, we have no chance to hide. Therefore, we must quickly find a place to hide so as not to be discovered by the other party. ”
"Yes!"
Qiu Ruoshui nodded, "I've searched the surroundings in detail just now, and there are no good camping spots within a radius of 500 meters." However, I think that if we go up further, there may be a better place. ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the Taishan Mountains on the western slope.
"Commander, you see, the higher you go, the more rocks there are, the more difficult the road becomes, but at the same time, there will be a lot more hiding places. In the case that the number of people on the other side is much larger than our number, this kind of terrain may be the most suitable for us! ”
"Well, that's it! Let's continue to walk up, into the middle of the steep rocks, and find a suitable place to fix it. ”
Yanagishita nodded in agreement.
"Three breaks!"
Qiu Ruoshui shouted softly.
"Here!"
"You go up the hillside, all the way up, and find a place that is easy to hide, has a wide field of vision, and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as our temporary camp."
"Yes!"
Sanpo agreed, not to mention that, the figure flickered, and it was a few zhang away, and then, a few ups and downs, the three figures disappeared in the middle of the undulating, towering red mountain rocks.
"Chubby!"
Yanagi Buhui saw the little fat man sitting there, looking serious and vigilant, and felt that it was fun, so he called out.
"Brother! What's going on?! ”
The little fat man was stunned for a moment, asked casually, and then felt that it was inappropriate, so he quickly changed his words: "Commander!" ”
After speaking, he smiled awkwardly, very honest and cute.
"You go and call Xiao Zhi and ask her to withdraw, let's stay in another place, it's easy to be found here!"
Yanagishita Buhui pointed to Xiao Zhi, who was secretly serving as a guard in the distance, and said to the little fat man: "Let's climb up a little more later." ”
"Okay!"
The little fat man stood up with great interest and ran in the direction of Xiao Zhi.
Compared with the figures of three broken and four evils, at least a few feet away, the little fat man spread his legs and ran, in the eyes of Yanagi Buhui, it is almost the same as walking.
It seems that fate has not arrived!
Yanagishita Buhui really hopes that the little fat man's skills can also be greatly improved, not to mention like the autumn brothers and sisters, not to say like three breaks, four evils, even if he is as strong as Xiaozhi, Yanagishita Buhui will be satisfied in his heart. Of course, if Xiaopang can be as bullish as Brother Ying Longying or Brother Candle Dragon Candle, then, what will Liu Xia be happy about.
Yanagishita Buhui watched intently as the little fat man trotted all the way to the place where Xiaozhi was hiding.
Xiao Zhi immediately stood up, glanced at himself, and then, after saying a few words to the little fat man, the two walked back side by side.
"When will the little fat man be a little bit promising?!"
Yanagi Buhui sighed: "I don't ask for anything else, as long as he can have Xiaozhi's skills now, I will be satisfied!" Of course, if he has another strange fate and his skills have skyrocketed, it will naturally be even better! ”
After saying that, he shook his head with some disappointment.
"Don't worry!"
Qiu Ruoshui looked at Liu Shita Buhui and said: "I believe what my brother said, the little fat man is by no means an ordinary person, but he is just waiting for the opportunity!" You're his brother, you have to be patient! ”
"yes!"
Yanagishita Buhui nodded: "I just hope that he is better, and when he encounters danger, he can at least save himself or escape!" But then again, even if he's worse than he is now, I won't leave him alone! Hehe! ”
"That's nature! I'm sure the Legion Commander wouldn't have done such a thing! ”
Qiu Ruoshui said lightly.
"Look, Sanpo and they're back!"
As he spoke, he pointed with his hand.
Yanagishita Fuhui looked in the direction of her finger.
Sure enough, three figures were jumping among the rocks, as light as three fallen leaves dancing in the wind, gradually moving in this direction.
In an instant, three figures arrived in front of them, and sure enough, they were three breaks.
"Report to the Captain, Report to the Captain!"
Potian smiled and said, "We were ordered to search upwards to find a suitable camp, and found a cave on the mountainside about eight hundred meters away from here. The entrance of the cave is facing the hillside where we are standing, and the strange rocks and dangerous rocks around the entrance of the cave are towering, almost completely covering the entrance of the cave, and if you don't pay attention, you won't notice it at all. Of course, if you look at it from below or on the left and right sides, you can't find anything other than a large piece of rubble. It's a great place to stay. Decide! ”
"Great!"
Yanagi Buhui was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Qiu Ruoshui, "Ruoshui, let's go up, right?!" ”
"Qiqi hasn't come back yet!"
Qiu Ruoshui looked around, frowned and said.
"It doesn't matter if it's Qiqi, it's an ancient divine beast, looking for traces to find us, for it, it's almost the most basic instinct!"
Yanagishita Buhui smiled slightly and said.
"That's good!"
Qiu Ruoshui smiled and said, "Let's go, let's try to reach that cave before the sun shows the ground." ”
"Xiaozhi, Xiaopang, you don't have to come here again, go directly to the hillside!"
Yanagishita Buhui shouted in a low voice, pointing in the direction of the mountain as he shouted.
Xiao Zhi nodded, and together with Xiao Fat, he walked towards the mountain diagonally.
Here, Sanpo led the way in front, Qiu Ruoshui and Liuxia Buhui followed behind, and then behind were the four demons and the coal twin demons, and the group walked forward.
After a while, Xiao Zhi and the little fat man also converged.
After walking a short distance, we began to enter the rubble thicket.
Everyone is surrounded by towering rocks, and being in them is like entering an unpredictable labyrinth, and if you don't follow closely behind the person in front of you, then, after a few steps, after turning a few large rocks, you may no longer see the back of the person in front of you.
"Sure enough, the higher you go, the more hidden it becomes!"
Yanagi Buhui couldn't help but say with emotion: "There are so many rocks to obstruct, even if the sun comes out now, let's hide here, and we can't be seen outside!" ”
"Yes! Isn't that what we want?! Ha ha! ”
Qiu Ruoshui was also joking with interest.
"Chubby, can you afford it?!"
Yanagishita Buhui turned around, looked at the little fat man with concern and asked.
"It's okay, brother! I can do it! Legion Commander! ”
The fat man wiped his sweat and said with a slightly red face.
Although the walk is not long, it is a steep winding road, and it is difficult to walk with rocks. These road conditions, of course, are not a problem at all for Qiu Ruoshui, Coal Double Demon, Three Breaks, and Four Evils, but for Yanagi Buhui and Xiao Zhi, it is already a little difficult, not to mention the little fat man, all supported by natural physical strength and tenacious perseverance.
In fact, the energy in Yanagishita's body is already very amazing, if he is skilled and can use the energy as he wants, Autumn may not be his opponent. However, there is a body of energy, but it is clumsy like a newborn child, although there is no problem with self-preservation, but when it comes to the experience of the battle, it is not as good as three breaks and four evils.
Xiao Zhi is also in a similar situation, but, due to the blessing of the Netherworld Sword, and Qiu Ruoshui's occasional guidance, coupled with Xiao Zhi's constant exercise, in comparison, Xiao Zhi's skills are stronger than Liu Shita's Buhui. At least when jumping between the rocks, Xiao Zhi's posture is much more graceful than that of Yanagishita.
"It's here! This is it! ”
Just when Yanagi Buhui was almost about to sweat, he heard Potian, who was walking in the front, shouting.
"Come on! Little fat man! It's coming soon! ”
Yanagishita said to the little fat man breathlessly.
"Well, it's okay, brother!"
The little fat man said with a flushed face and breathlessness, panting and wiping a handful of sweat as he spoke.
This place is really nice!
Behind a large pile of rocks, there is a large flat area, around this area, three sides are tall dangerous rocks, forming a natural barrier on three sides, and the side facing the mountain is exactly the entrance to the cave.
What's even better is that the three-sided barrier at the entrance of the cave covers the entrance of the cave tightly, and even if you look at it from the opposite side, you can't tell that there is actually a cave here. Not to mention looking down from the mountain, there is no trace of the cave.
In Yanagi Buhui's view, the three-sided barrier at the entrance of the cave is like three natural observation sentry posts, people hide behind these rocks, look down, the entire east side of Taishan Mountain is in full view, look to the north, you can always see the faint mountain road over there, and the large area between them is even more unobstructed; Looking south, it's the same.
"Break the sky! The place you are looking for is perfect! ”
Yanagishita Buhui excitedly said to Potian: "Really, I have never seen such a perfect natural cave!" It feels like someone with experience built it! ”
As he spoke, he pointed downward: "Look, everything, all in sight, all the enemies that come and go, are in our sight." It's really a one-man affair, and it's not open! ”
"That's true!"
Qiu Ruoshui is also very satisfied with this place: "I doubt that this cave will be specially built by someone, and will there be people living in this cave?!" ”
"Of course it's inhabited!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the depths of the cave!
"Who!?"
Everyone was taken aback, and their faces changed suddenly.
