When Shen Mu heard Si Chenzi say this, his heart was happier than if he had received the heart method bamboo slip.

This mountain is also four or five hundred meters high, and if you climb down the mountain by yourself, I am afraid that it will take you one or two hours. And Fang Cai Si Chenzi took him to the top of the mountain in an instant, if he sent him back, it would really save time, effort and worry.

This is called manual delivery.

Shen Mu pointed to the forest where the cave was located, and said respectfully: "There is a senior of the Lao Immortal." ”

It's a pity that Shen Mu is only worried about the safety of Wulongshan and the others, if he was focused on cultivation at this time, he should have already bowed to the ground and knelt down to beg Si Chenzi to accept him as an apprentice.

As soon as the sleeves of Si Chenzi's robe were flipped over, Shen Mu felt that he was wrapped in a soft energy, and his body involuntarily soared away. By the time he reached the eye, he had landed not far from the cave.

All this came and went quickly, but I didn't expect that I hadn't felt the speed of the clouds, so I thought I was near the cave.

It's like a different world, and it's like a dream.

Shen Mu touched the bamboo slips collected on his chest, the bamboo slips were still there, all this was not a dream.

I don't know if the fairy is okay, she saved her life after all, if she recognized her at the time, she should really be desperate to wake her up. Hey, I'm so skewed, and I'm worried about the safety of the fairy. Others have so many immortal elders to protect them, there shouldn't be any problems, and they shouldn't need to worry about themselves.

Let's think about how to get through this first.

Although the mysterious old man behind Juan's house helped him solve the fate of being surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, he made himself admit such a difficult thing as a transaction. Although there will be a battle between Wulong Mountain and Qixingzhai after all, Shen Mu's original plan was to fight an economic war first and use money to bring down Qixingzhai. Now it is difficult to ride a tiger by himself, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed in the period of March, and it is really difficult to say whether he can destroy Qixingzhai when the New Year comes.

Shen Mu was still thinking about it, and he heard Lu Laosan and others greeting him. Thinking that the people of Qixingzhai were not far away, he hurriedly stopped Lu Laosan's fanfare, led everyone, and marched into the depths of the forest.

While Si Chenzi sent Shen Mu away, he said slowly: "It's rare to have such an unpretentious junior, Lao Dao'er will come to help you again." As he spoke, he waved his sword fingers, and under the waterfall, a sudden wind blew up, rolling up the wind and sand.

The people of Qixingzhai under the mountain were originally attracted by the sound of crackling, and after searching for a while, they saw no one. Just as he was about to continue searching the mountains deep in the forest, suddenly a cloudy wind gusted, and the rolled up yellow sand blocked the road. Somehow, everyone remembered that the situation here was extremely strange, and they hurriedly ran away along the way they came, fearing that they would encounter ghosts and gods.

Lu Laosan followed Shen Mu and asked what happened, but Shen Mu only said that it was a landslide that washed away a section of the mountain road. He also said that this voice attracted the people of Qixingzhai, let's leave this forest as soon as possible, so as to avoid unnecessary encounters.

The group crossed the mountains and mountains, and slept in the open air. It took three days to go back to Zhangzhuang outside Shijiabao.

Same town, same inn. Shen Mu divided the people into five or six batches this time, and gradually checked into the "Come Home" inn. He glued some horsetail beard, found a strip of cloth, blindfolded one eye, and pretended to be a blind hunter. He also asked the brothers who had escorted the people in Lieyupo to change their clothes slightly, and carefully followed the others into the store.

The boss Zhang Wei saw that the guests were coming, no matter what you looked like, he was happy to let the guy lead him to the guest room.

After entering the inn, Ma Linzi asked the doubts in his heart, he was afraid that the wall would have ears, so he deliberately lowered his voice: "Strategist, do we really want to deal with Shijiabao first this time?"

Shen Mu soaked his feet, the water was brought by Xiao Er, it was warm and suitable, and a little salt was added.

In the past few days, I walked through the mountains and forests, and several blisters were ground out on one pair of feet. At this time, it was soaked in salt water, which was painful and refreshing. Hearing Ma Linzi's question, he said straightly: "You also soak your feet, and when you have eaten, call the brothers to come over, and I will explain it to everyone." ”

Soak your feet, activate the meridians, relieve fatigue, and if you can get some mugwort leaves at this time, it will be more comfortable. It would be nice to have another massage chair......

At dinner, everyone pretended not to know each other and ate their own food. In the past ten days, they have been running in the mountains and forests, and they have been hungry for the wine, meat and food, and they have worms in their stomachs, but fortunately, Shen Mu gave everyone a little silver, and the silver was scavenged from the five or six cottages, and they didn't feel distressed when they spent it. When it comes to meals, those who buy wine buy wine, and those who eat meat eat meat, and they only regard this place as a cottage.

Shen Mu didn't stop it, he wanted this result, because only in this way would the owner of the store not be suspicious. I will only think that it is the guy who ran out to fight for wine in Shijiabao or the nearby cottage, which is also a thing that happens from time to time in the town. What's more, a few days ago, there were reckless men in the cottage in the town, and it only stopped in the past two days, so Boss Zhang was not surprised.

This is where there are no silver three hundred taels, and the flowers are gradually charming to the eye, and the asakusa can be safe.

After dinner, Shen Mu asked Ma Linzi to call one person from each room, the room was small after all, and there were many people, which was easy to attract the attention of others. Ma Linzi understood, turned around and called someone to go.

After Shen Mu waited for everyone to gather, he stood up leisurely, with the armrests behind him, pretending to be calm and relaxed. Said: "Not far from here is Shijiabao, everyone must be very strange, why we came here." ”

Ma Zhong said: "Since Mr. Shen brought us here, he naturally has some reason. Just tell me what we're going to do next. ”

Lu Laosan said: "That's right, it's better to follow Mr. Shen to work directly if you think so much, it's also easy to get trouble." ”

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Actually, everything we did before was a smoke bomb. The real goal is to capture Shijia Fort. Whether it is sweeping Lieyupo or feintting to attack Shijiabao, it is all to prepare for this time. Although there are nearly 100 cottages attached to Qixingzhai, the two largest ones are Lieyupo and Shijiabao. If Shijiabao can be taken down, it is equivalent to breaking the two arms of Qixingzhai. Shen Mu said this, and paused slightly: "If we came to Shijiabao directly before, they would definitely be careful to take precautions, and we would have no gaps." But this time it was different, we had done enough drama, they thought we would only bluff, only when we were already scared and fled into the barren mountains. On the way here, I carefully observed, and almost all the dark posts along the road had been removed. At this time, the best time to attack the fort is to attack. First, their army was disheartened, second, the strong reinforcements of Qixingzhai had been withdrawn, and third, other neighboring villages had learned from the past, and they did not dare to come to support for the time being. No one would have expected us to come back with a pistol at this time. ”

Ma Linzi said: "But we only have these twenty or thirty people, and there are at least more than a hundred people in Shijiabao, how should we attack?"

Shen Mu said: "The army is plotting, and the city is attacking, and in every battle in Qixingzhai, we can't fight hard." That's why I called everyone over to discuss. ”

Shi Yong scratched his head and said, "Mr. Shen, if you say that you will work hard, we don't need anyone to do it." I think it's up to you to arrange this discussion. ”

Shen Mu glanced at the people in front of him, and saw that they were all at a loss, knowing that he could only make up his mind about this matter. Then he said: "Okay, since everyone has no good way, then I will do it." Ma Zhong and Shi Yong, the two of you came to Dingzhou a little later, and you are the most faced, tomorrow you two will take the brothers in their respective rooms, pretending to be vegetable merchants and charcoal sellers, respectively, and find a way to sneak into the Shijia fort to take a look at the layout of their fort. There were more than 100 people in Shijiabao, plus female servants, not to mention two or three hundred. There should also be at least a large cart of grain and vegetables consumed every day, and now that the weather is getting colder, in addition to the wood demand, charcoal will also be more. You work hard tomorrow morning, collect all these two stalls in the neighborhood at a high price, and then wait for the people from Shijiabao to come and sell them at a price lower than the market price, and find an excuse to deliver them yourself. Can this be done?"

Ma Zhong and Shi Yong stood up and said in unison: "No problem." ”

Shen Mu said: "This matter is easy to say, but it also needs to be improvised. The two of you must remember one thing, but if you find something wrong, you must save your life and do not act recklessly. After entering Shijiabao, I saw the shape and the situation of the personnel clearly, so I hurried out. Do not linger for more than one minute. If you don't have a chance to see clearly, don't worry, you'll all have to continue to do this work for the next few days. What we have is time. ”

Ma Zhong said: "Sir, please rest assured, if we are asked to pretend to be officers and soldiers, we are still a little worried." We are old farmers, and it is not easy to do this. ”

Shi Yong also said: "Ma Zhong is right, this matter is on our brothers." ”

When Shen Mu heard them say this, he looked at his peace of mind, and emphasized again: "Remember, don't be greedy. Remember as much as you can. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it. If you can tell them to gradually let down their guard against you, it will be more convenient to observe them later. All in all, safety first. ”

Both of them responded at the same time.

Shen Mu drank a cup of tea and continued: "Brother Xiaoma, Ming'er, you go with me for a walk around." I'm not familiar with the terrain yet, so I'll need to find a few ways to get in and out of here. ”

Seeing that he had not arranged affairs, Lu Laosan hurriedly said, "Mr. Shen, what about us." What are we doing? Can't they all have something to do, just let us stare at ourselves. ”

Shen Mu smiled: "Third brother, don't think you have nothing to do. You have to lead people to guard here as a backup for our three people. If someone has a problem along the way, it's all up to you to rescue them. But don't forget, Moyuding and those cottages were all copied by us because there was no one left at home. ”

Lu Laosan thought for a moment, nodded again and again, and said: "What Mr. Shen said is reasonable, sir, don't worry, you can leave this family to us, I promise that I will not lose even a needle." ”

Lu Laosan patted his chest and swore by what he said. In his opinion, this is all the belongings that have been hard earned in the past few days, and it can't be fired like Mo Yuding.
