Chapter 178: Qilin Mountain
Kirin Mountain
Qilin Mountain is located in the northwest direction of Qiluo Town, surrounding the north side of Miluo City, forming a natural barrier.
The trees in the mountains are thick and short, the dead pines hang upside down, the streams are deep and dangerous, and there are often old apes and beasts howling.
And under a cliff, in the middle of a mountain stream, a huge camp was built on top of the stream.
At this time, in the lobby of the camp.
Three burly, ugly-looking men were sitting side by side.
A big man at the bottom said anxiously: "Big brother, why hasn't the fourth child come back? Could it be that he was caught by that stinky girl?"
The man at the head has a bearded face, and his eyes are full of anger, it is Hua Hongtao, the leader of the Qilin Mercenary Group!
Hua Hongtao mixed with the great family in his early years, worked as a guard and servant, and later because of his irritable personality, he killed the characters who could not afford to offend, so he absconded to Miluo City, where the emperor was far away, and later gathered a group of vicious murderers to form the current Qilin mercenary group!
He is a person who has seen the world, and he knows that if he wants to choose a good name, he can't be a mountain king, just like that, the city lord of Miluo City has no reason to exterminate them, of course, the main reason is that Hua Hongtao's power is too strong!
Originally, Hua Hongtao only had a heavy cultivation in the True Yuan Realm, but because he led a group of murderers under his command to often rob homes and houses, he accumulated a lot of cultivation resources, and his talent was good, so in just 20 years, he had reached the eighth level of the True Yuan Realm from the first level of the True Yuan Realm!
Although this is not a difficult thing in a big family, for the martial arts level of such a small city, such an entry is already a rocket-like flight!
The three most powerful men under his command were appointed by him as deputy commanders. The three of them are all brothers of the same family, named Xu Dahu, Xu Erhu, and Xu Sanhu.
Under his cultivation, the Three Tiger Brothers have all reached the sixfold cultivation of the True Yuan Realm! Even without him, the eightfold True Yuan Realm, it is enough to support the façade of the Qilin Mercenary Group!
Yesterday, they received the benefits of the Tianqi Empire, so they tried to win over the Sun family to take refuge.
Therefore, Hua Hongtao sent Xu Sanhu and Xu Erhu to prepare some gifts to persuade the Sun family again.
Not surprisingly, the Sun family refused again.
Xu Sanhu and Xu Erhu used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, first luring Sun Qinghui's master away, and then abducting Sun Qing'an and Sun Qinglan's two children by using the method of golden cicada shelling.
Xu Erhu and Xu Sanhu naturally knew that they were not Master Sun Qinghui's opponents, so they captured a child and fled separately.
Even if Sun Qinghui's master's cultivation is far above the two, he is still lacking in skills at this time, and he just chased Xu Sanhu.
Xu Erhu will come back early this morning because of it. In fact, the children in the hands of Xu Sanhu and Xu Erhu were not from the Sun family, but were prepared before they came, so they used this strategy to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix into a phoenix, and successfully captured Sun Qingan and Sun Qinglan!
"Hmph! Why haven't those three wastes come back yet? Can't they even catch two stinky children? If something happens! Lao Tzu must have chopped him!"
Xu Dahu roared.
"That's it!"
Hua Hongtao glanced at Xu Dahu and Xu Erhu and said, "Be patient!"
"Although the Three Tigers are not that woman's opponent, he has a good water nature, as long as he can escape to the Chiluo River, he will be safe! What's more, the child in his hand is not the Sun family at all! Even if the Three Tigers can't escape, their lives will not be guaranteed!"
Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the cottage.
"Commander! Oh no!
"That woman from the Sun family is coming! and she is still holding the deputy head of the regiment!" someone rushed in from outside.
Hua Hongtao suddenly got up and hurriedly said, "Do you see clearly?"
The little man guarding the cottage said: "Yes! It's the deputy head of the regiment! I can see it clearly!"
"Big Tiger and Second Tiger will go out with me to meet that woman!"
The narrow valley road sandwiched between the two mountain walls has become the only exit from this cottage, and at this time, this only entrance and exit has been firmly blocked by a group of people who have released a wolf-like aura all over their bodies, and the door of the cottage is closed, and they all look at the woman outside the door in fear!
And the deputy head of the ** at the feet of that woman!
None of the hundreds of people in their Qilin mercenary group did not tremble when they saw the woman in front of them, it was her, three years ago, with only a few swords, the three deputy head of the group were beaten down for half a day and couldn't get up, and since then, Chiluojiang no longer belongs to their Qilin mercenary group, and the silver coins they receive every month are also less than half.
Hua Hongtao stood on top of the cottage of dozens of zhang and looked coldly at Sun Qinghui's master!
and Xu Sanhu, who was bleeding from the corners of his mouth.
"Third brother!"
Xu Dahu shouted.
"Big brother, save me ......!" Xu Sanhu said bitterly as he lay on the ground.
Sun Qinghui's master wore a cloak to cover his face, slightly revealing half of his face, looked at Hua Hongtao, and said, "You'd better hand over the two children of Qing'an and Qinglan, otherwise, Xu Sanhu's life will also ......."
She stomped on her feet with a slight force. Xu Sanhu suddenly screamed in pain.
"You stinky, you dare to step on my third brother again!" Xu Dahu shouted with his eyes wide open.
Hua Hongtao stopped him and shouted: "The two children you said are no longer in our cottage! You can release our third brother quickly, our Qilin mercenary group is not a robber who robs houses, and everything can be sat down and talked about carefully! Why do you have to meet each other like this?"
The corners of Sun Qinghui's master hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Hua Hongtao, do you think I will believe you? I will only give you ten breaths of time to think about it, and let those two children go immediately! Otherwise, I will leave Xu Sanhu's life behind!"
Immediately put a long sword on Xu Sanhu's neck: "One!"
Xu Sanhu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and his whole body curled up in fright, and he didn't dare to move, so he hurriedly shouted: "Commander, big brother, hurry up and hand over that child! I don't want to die yet......"
"Two!"
.........
"Seven!"
"Commander, what should I do, the third brother is going to be killed by that stinky girl!" Xu Dahu said anxiously.
Hua Hongtao's brows furrowed deeply, and he looked at Sun Qinghui's master without speaking.
Now that woman has decided that the two children are in their hands, if they don't hand over the two children, maybe they will really kill Xu Sanhu, but he has no choice, the two children are not here at all, how to hand them over, he also thought about going out to save Xu Sanhu, but obviously, he knows that he is not the opponent of that woman!
He looked into the distance, as if expecting something.
"Big brother, I'm going out to save the third brother!" Xu Dahu saw that Hua Hongtao didn't speak, and he was immediately anxious!
"Stop!"
Hua Hongtao snorted coldly: "You go out, even your own little life will be put on the line! If you three brothers have the ability, you can go together, and how many moves can you take? You all died in the hands of that woman?!"
Xu Dahu suddenly remembered the scene three years ago, and couldn't help but shake the iron rod in his hand tightly.
"Ten!"
Sun Qinghui's master finished reading the last number, and immediately snorted coldly: "It seems that you don't care about the life of this stupid person......! Phew!"
With a swing of her wrist, a sword qi immediately rushed down, directly slashing at Xu Sanhu's neck.
Xu Sanhu saw the sword qi killing, and suddenly shouted in fright, and suddenly closed his eyes.
Suddenly, something changed dramatically.
Just as the sword qi slashed off Xu Sanhu's head, a sudden storm of yuan force suddenly struck, and the sound of "bang!" shattered her sword qi.
Hua Hongtao's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's here!"
Sun Qinghui's master suddenly turned around, and a middle-aged man wearing a black hat and a shrewd face walked out, followed by three people, all with a cruel smile, especially the breath released by the middle-aged man who was the leader made Sun Qinghui's master's face change slightly.
The middle-aged man looked at Sun Qinghui's master and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, we meet again!"
Sun Qinghui's master frowned slightly, this person, he had already seen it once, it was the last time the Tianqi Empire went to the Sun family to persuade him to surrender! Qi Lian! I didn't expect him to come to Qilin Mountain today!
Qi Lian is also a True Yuan Realm Ninefold Cultivator, even if he is against Sun Qinghui's master, it is only half a chip, but plus the three True Yuan Realm Eightfold subordinates behind him, as well as Hua Hongtao in the cottage, if they join forces, Sun Qinghui's master may not be an opponent!
"Qi Lian, what are you doing here? This is the matter of our Sun family and the Qilin mercenary group! Could it be that you want to be an enemy of the Sun family?" Sun Qinghui's master said coldly.
"Haha!
Qi Lian laughed, then walked up to her and said, "Madame, don't be angry, the head of the Qilin Mercenary Regiment has already united with our Tianqi Empire, and is now a friend of our Tianqi Empire, and as for them to invite the two children of your Sun family, it is completely for the sake of your Sun family! As long as the Sun family agrees to cooperate with our Tianqi Empire, when it comes time to take Miluo City, your Sun family can still retain all the rights! What does Madam think?"
Sun Qinghui's master snorted coldly: "I'm not the head of the Sun family! It's useless to tell me these things! If you really want to cooperate with the Sun family, let Hua Hongtao hand over the two children immediately!"
"Madam, are you joking?" Qi Lian saw that Sun Qinghui's master was still unmoved, and said, "Do you really not care about the lives of these two children? Now that we are here, I am afraid that we will not be able to save those two children with the strength of Madame alone! It would not be good if we accidentally hurt the two children! Just like this Xu Sanhu!"
Xu Sanhu had already been frightened! At this time, he was lying on the ground tremblingly, not daring to look up at anyone!
Sun Qinghui's master frowned slightly, and suddenly thought in his heart, he was not a member of the Sun family, and he couldn't make this decision at all, of course, Qi Lian's meaning was also very clear, his cultivation was the strongest of the Sun family, as long as he agreed, and his favor to the Sun family in the past three years, the Sun family had no reason to refute himself! After all, Miluo City belonged to Tianqin or the Tianqi Empire had no impact on the Sun family!
Of course, the top priority now is to rescue Sun Qing'an and Sun Qinglan's two children first.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to see if the two children are hurt first!"
Qi Lian immediately laughed with satisfaction, thinking that Sun Qinghui's master had compromised and was just looking for a step down.
Immediately looked up at Hua Hongtao and said, "Head Hua, open the city gate!"
Hua Hongtao saw that Qi Lian was so determined, and now that the strength of his side was completely enough to fight, he was no longer afraid. Then he ordered the door of the cottage to be opened.
Xu Dahu and Xu Erhu hurriedly ran down and pulled Xu Sanhu back.
Hua Hongtao walked up to Qi Lian and said, "Lord Qi, has this woman already agreed to take refuge in Tianqi?"
Qi Lian shook his head with a smile and said, "What did Captain Hua say? Our Tianqi Empire and you are both cooperative relations, and we are equal friends! This is the sincerity of our Tianqi Empire...... Head Hua, bring the two children out! I believe that in this case, Mrs. Sun will definitely make the best choice!"
Hua Hongtao suddenly glanced at Qi Lian with an embarrassed face.
Qi Lian frowned slightly, and said, "Head Hua, what's the matter, I'm worried that Mrs. Sun will go back on her word, and I still don't believe the old man!"
Hua Hongtao suddenly said in panic: "Lord Qi! It's just that... That... Those two children are not in our hands!"
"What do you mean?!" Qi Lian suddenly glanced at Hua Hongtao coldly, took off the black hat on his head, gently slapped it twice in his hand, and said, "Head Hua, make it clear!"
Hua Hongtao suddenly said: "We did design to bring those two children back from the Sun family, but the men who captured those two children have not come back yet...... So... I don't know where they are now!"
Qi Lian's face suddenly sank, and he said, "Commander Hua, how can you still have this kind of wine bag and rice bag under your subordinates?"
Hua Hongtao looked embarrassed and did not speak.
Sun Qinghui's master suddenly moved in his heart, in this case, if Hua Hongtao really caught the two children of Qing'an Qinglan, he would definitely not hide it, but would bring it to himself and force himself, so, what he said just now was true?
Sun Qinghui's master's face changed slightly, thinking that Hua Hongtao's subordinates were all outlaws, and at this time, in the face of two naughty children, she didn't know what to do worse than animals, and suddenly she was on tiptoe and wanted to leave Qilin Mountain.
Qi Lian immediately stopped her and said, "Mrs. Sun! No matter what, the two children must still be in the hands of Head Hua! I believe that Head Hua will find them before you!"
Hua Hongtao immediately nodded and said, "I'll send someone to find them immediately!"
Sun Qinghui's master glanced at Hua Hongtao coldly and snorted, "It's better to be like this......!
She didn't want to say any more, because she had already regarded the two children as her apprentices, and she loved them very much, and she didn't want anything bad to happen to them at all!
She is going to meet the Sun family immediately now, and let the Sun family send guards to search around!
"Get out of the way!"
She sneered in unison.
Although Qi Lian was unhappy in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to turn his face, and if he wanted to take Miluo City without blood, he still needed the cooperation of the Sun family and the Qilin mercenary group!
Immediately, he slowly got out of the way, looked at Hua Hongtao and said, "Head Hua, don't send someone to find it soon!"
