Chapter 25: A Trip to the Barren Mountains

"Uncle Li Hu, I beg you, you and my father have been brothers for decades, if there is anything unpleasant happening, it is only a matter between brothers, do you really have to fight to the death to give up? My father is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and I know that he has always regarded Uncle Li Hu as the best brother in his heart. Have you forgotten that time when my father was not in good health, it happened that Uncle Li Hu, your son Xiaohuzi was waiting for help, and it was my father who gave his life to give you the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum given to him by others to save Xiaohuzi? Ma Xiuying's tears rained down and persuaded her hard.

When Li Hu heard Ma Xiuying's words, his body trembled slightly. Li Hu was originally a person with great affection, and he couldn't hide what he was thinking in his heart. He looked at Ma Xiuying, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that my little tiger died early, otherwise he would be sixteen or seventeen years old today." Okay, Xiuying, it's all because I'm confused for a while, so I can do something sorry for my brother. Although the marshal is not good in this way or in that way, he always has one thing that is stronger than others, that is, to have a good daughter like you. Well, I promise you to tell you where the Marshal is hidden, but you must also keep your promise to me, and when your father is rescued, you must not settle accounts with me. ”

"Of course, Uncle Li Hu, can't you still trust Xiuying?" Ma Xiuying wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said.

"The marshal is now hidden in a cave halfway up Jiwei Mountain in the northwest corner of Bozhou City, Sun Deya, Peng Da and Zhao Jun hate the marshal to the core, and they will definitely not let him die so easily. They must be trying their best to torture the marshal now, and if you can catch up, the marshal may still be saved. But if it's too late, I can't say. Li Hu told the truth with some frustration.

"Thank you, Uncle Li Hu." After Ma Xiuying finished speaking, she asked Lan Yu and Zhu Chongba, "What should we do next?" ”

"Don't say anything, hurry up and save people." Lan Yu said: "Let's hurry up to rescue the marshal as soon as possible." ”

"But there are only so many of you....." Ma Xiuying said very anxiously.

"It's fine. And what about us, I still have dozens of brothers, and we will go together to save the marshal. Miss Ma, don't worry, we will definitely rescue the marshal safe and sound. Zhu Chongba patted his chest, like Ma Xiuying assured. Ma Xiuying gave a grateful look and nodded slightly.

Xu Da tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, then said, "Without further ado, let's hurry up." Jiwei Mountain is far away from the camp, and Sun Deya, Peng Da, and Zhao Jun must have thought that we could not find the whereabouts of the marshal, so they hid the marshal there. They definitely don't bring too many people with them. I don't think we need too many people, as long as everyone is careful. ”

"I'll go with you, too." Chu Liuyan carried the blue water sword and said.

"But Xiuying ....." A hint of hesitation flashed in Lan Yu's eyes, he was very worried about Ma Xiuying's safety.

Ma Xiuying hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Let Miss Chu follow, Miss Chu is strong in martial arts, it will be helpful to you." The person they dealt with was my father, not me, and I don't think I would be in any danger for the time being, I would just wait here for you to come back, and I would not go anywhere. Ma Xiuying's words, although she said "you" in one mouthful, made it clear that she said it to Lan Yu. Lan Yu nodded and agreed, and rushed to Jiwei Mountain with the group.

Jiwei Mountain is a barren mountain, the sand and gravel on the mountain are bare, the strange rocks are craggy, the back of the whole mountain is slightly upturned, from a distance, it is like a chicken tail, so the local people call this mountain Jiwei Mountain. Except for a touch of green at the foot of the mountain, there is no grass on the whole mountain, and it is very desolate. There is also a legend that there are often monsters in this mountain, so there are usually few people who come.

When the group came to the foot of the mountain, Zhu Chongba couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Sun Deya's gang hid people on this wild mountain, if it wasn't for Li Hu to confess, we really wouldn't have thought of it." Do you say, Xu Da? ”

Xu Damo was silent, just took a few quick steps, and followed closely behind Chu Liuyan.

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, hum." Zhu Chongba was very unhappy when he saw Xu Da and Chu Liuyan walking so close.

The group walked up for a while, and Xu Da suddenly stopped and didn't leave. Chu Liuyan asked, "Young Master Xu, did you think of something?" ”

Xu Da shook his head first, then nodded, and said: "I don't think it looks like this place can hide people, we have walked for so long, and we haven't seen any caves, I think we could be mistaken?" ”

Zhu Chongba stood between the two of them with some displeasure and said, "Hey, I said Tiande, don't you be so slow, okay?" If you go on like this, the marshal will be fine, but you will be delayed. ”

"Yes, Xu Gongzi, we just saw Li Hu's appearance, I don't think he is lying, what do you say?" Chu Liuyan said.

Xu Da looked puzzled and said, "Maybe." Let's keep looking. So, the group continued to walk up. The further you go up the mountainside, the more strange rocks and steep the mountain road become, the more you lose your road. At this time, not to mention Xu Da, Chu Liuyan, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others all felt that something was wrong.

"This place, it really doesn't look like anyone has been to before. Grandma's, that Li Hu dared to lie, Lao Tzu chopped him. Chang Yuchun was accidentally tripped over a stone, and said very angrily.

"Yes, it's just the words of Yuchun, there is not even a road in this place, it really doesn't look like someone has been here." Xu Da said again.

"Could it be that we fell for Li Hu's scheme?" Lan Yujun's face was slightly red, which showed that he was extremely worried.

Chu Liuyan frowned and said: "I don't think this matter is so simple, we may not have fallen for Li Hu's plan, or the plan of others, and maybe." I'm afraid that Li Hu himself is a deceived. You think, after Sun Deya and the others kidnapped the marshal, they should have thought that we might go to inquire about the traitor as soon as possible, but they partially told the traitorous marshal where he was hiding, isn't this telling us in disguise? Xu Gongzi was right, I am afraid this is not the place to hide the marshal, and Li Hu was also deceived by others. ”

"So what should we do now? In this way, didn't we ask that Li Hu for nothing, and then look for another game in vain? Lan Yu was also a little out of breath.

Everyone was silent, and everyone was thinking about where Guo Zixing should have been hidden.

Chu Liuyan suddenly thought of a story recorded in his mother's notebook, which was about things in the rivers and lakes. There is a sect called the Snow Mountain School, and the Snow Mountain School has a little disciple. That little disciple was bullied by the senior brother since he was a child, and later his senior brother became the head, and the little disciple was not reconciled, so he went to learn an evil art and replaced his senior brother. When he caught his senior brother, he did not immediately execute him, but tortured him in front of all the disciples of the sect, making him lose all prestige, and then executed him Ling Chi in front of all the disciples of the sect.
