The boat moved forward smoothly, and Shen Yushan was glad that the escort team did not keep vigil here.

The trees and grass on both sides swept behind him, the river began to narrow, and the turbulent rivers converged here, forming many undercurrents that were invisible to the naked eye.

However, Shen Yushan, who had been immersed in the boat, did not know that above the water behind him, pale arms with exposed green tendons and long nails swayed slightly in the wind, like a forest of human hands.

……

……

The upper reaches of the river gradually opened up, and the mountain breeze blew between the mountains in the distance, until an estuary was full of reeds of human height, like a gauze tent.

Shen Yushan parked the boat downwind of the mouth of the river, sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, took out a straw man with a soul charm from his arms, and spread out a piece of rice paper, full of mountains and rivers outlined in ink, only in the center, a bright red circle was drawn.

Shen Yushan lit a candle and put it at his hand to illuminate it.

"Master, it's time to wake up." Shen Yushan whispered.

The straw man got up from the ground and looked at the night scene under the dark curtain of the four fields, and occasionally heard the sound of plopping, which was the fish jumping on the surface of the water.

"After many years, I finally see the light of day again."

Yang Zui's infinitely emotional voice sounded in Shen Yushan's mind, and instead of Shen Yushan's pre-guessed cheers and long roars, he ...... Slightly bland.

"See the light of day? Master, it's still night, and there's only the moon. Shen Yushan made a joke.

The straw man lay on the map and cursed, "If I had come out in the daytime, I would have been burned to death by the sun." Okay, I don't have much time, so let's get to work as soon as possible. ”

Shen Yushan nodded, then compared to the map, and then pointed to the reeds in front of him one by one, and carefully introduced the terrain, this was the first time in his life that he killed someone, his hands were very raw, Yang was drunk and not at ease, and his soul was attached to the grass man, and he pointed it out closely.

"The apprentice's plan is very simple, the boat sneaks in, and when it is close to the lake bandit water village, jump into the water and swim over, Master, please rest assured, the apprentice has a good water nature, and now he has increased his physique in the Kaiguang Realm, and he can hold his breath underwater for at least a quarter of an hour."

"And then?" Yang Zui interrupted.

Shen Yushan was slightly stunned, "Then?" Naturally, it was a long sword, which picked the lives of sixty wicked people in the water village, did the right thing for heaven, and earned a meritorious cloud by the way. ”

"Wait a minute." Yang Zui was stunned and asked, "Didn't you say that this Reed Bo Water Village is the largest group of thieves within a radius of several hundred miles, why are there only sixty people?" ”

At this moment, it was Shen Yushan's turn to be surprised, and said in surprise: "The water village of sixty people is already a lot, it is said that there were only forty people a year ago, and a group of thieves came here to defect, and it has skyrocketed to sixty people." ”

"Soaring?" Yang Zui touched the word, and suddenly asked a question that was not related to the wind and horses, "How many people are there in your Xiyu country?" ”

"The population of Xiyu Country is twenty out of forty, and the population of Dongji Country is more than thirty and five, Master asks what is this for?" Shen Yushan was very strange, when did the immortal cultivators start to care about mortals.

Yang Zui sighed and said: "The total population of the two countries is not more than one million, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the countryside is poor. No, when you're good enough, you have to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Why is that? What does the cultivation of immortals have to do with the number of mortals? Shen Yushan was surprised and confused, and forgot all about the extermination of the reeds.

Yang Zui just wanted to explain, and then realized that now was not the time to talk about this, so he said: "Wait until you go back and talk about this matter in detail, finish the work first, I won't stay outside for long." ”

Shen Yushan nodded, and asked again, "Then Master, I will act according to the plan." ”

"Plan?" Yang drunk took a sip and scolded with a smile: "What kind of bullshit plan are you, let me ask you, how real is this rough map, and the number of the other party, is it sixty or sixty-nine?" ”

Shen Yushan hesitated: "Qiaozhen has organized the nearby people to attack Luweibo several times, and my family has also sponsored silver, so it must be accurate." ”

Yang Zui shook his head and said: "Regardless of the authenticity of the information, let's talk about the opponent's force configuration, are you sure that the other party does not have a bed crossbow giant bow trebuchet in the army?" Moreover, this group of people has been entrenched here for many years, and they have been unsuccessful in several clearances, so they must be commendable, and they are far more familiar with the terrain here than you are. ”

"Fighting a war is nothing more than the right time, place and people. These three, you basically don't have an advantage, at most there is a chance for a surprise attack, and Zhuzian dares to say that this village will be destroyed? Could it be that you think that with the Enlightenment Realm and a superb sword technique, you can be invincible among mortals? ”

Shen Yushan was silent, he was asked.

Yes, this is a war, and his mentality is far from correct.

Shen Yushan really wanted to rely on his own strength to fight sixty, but Yang Zui's words made him realize that this is not an upright heads-up, and the enemy is not a hero who values love and righteousness, this is a life-and-death war.

The difference in strength between immortals and mortals is indeed enough to wipe out any conspiracy and calculation, but his cultivation in the Enlightened Light Realm is not enough for him to despise, even if the other party is a mortal.

"Master, I was wrong."

Yang Zui laughed and said: "It's okay, the first time you debut, you are always a little in a hurry, do it a few more times, and you will have a lot of experience." ”

Shen Yushan was stunned, how many more times will he be experienced? It seems that this cheap master has done a lot of errands of killing people and setting fires.

"Apprentice, please master, what should I do next, do you want to go home?" Shen Yushan asked shamelessly.

Yang Zui asked rhetorically: "Apprentice, have you ever read the book of soldiers?" ”

Shen Yushan shook his head.

The straw man jumped to the bow of the boat, blowing the night breeze, looking at the boundless dense reeds, obviously a small straw man, but inexplicably felt a bit of a sense of absurdity of the tall and majestic shore, as if the demeanor of the last prince of the Dongsang Kingdom had returned to the world.

"There is a cloud in the art of war: the enemy is outnumbered, and it is advisable to attack with fire."
