Chapter 181: Closing the Net

Wu and Liang looked at the scene in front of them and were shocked.

These twenty or thirty hunters, all of them are fierce and brave, especially the big man who stabbed the thunderbolt beast to death with a fork, his agility and ruthlessness are really chilling!

Although they were cultivators, they knew that if they met such a Zhuang Ding in the Li Mansion last night, how could they still die!

Yunmeng Mountain is actually so good at even such ordinary hunters, if these people are organized by Zhuang Zhou and become a force to defend Yunmeng Mountain or attack externally, then ......

Over there, the Orions had already begun to lift the Thunderbolt with all hands and feet. The big man was obviously the leader again, with his waist crossed and waving his hands to command.

Wu and Liang just hoped that they would leave quickly.

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped up from the bottom of the mountain, and the rider was snow-white, and even a white cloth was wrapped around his head, and a strange-looking wooden staff was held in his hand, which was also wrapped in white cloth.

The mountain was steep, but the horse was walking on the ground, and rushed straight up!

The crowd of people who were busy cheering had obviously heard the sound of horses' hooves, and they all slowly stopped what they were doing and looked down the mountain.

In a moment, the horse was already running near. The rider turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the big man's side. The big man greeted him and asked, "Ah Tie, what happened?" He saw the rider galloping towards him and knew that something earth-shattering must have happened in the village.

The rider named Ah Tie was out of breath and said something to the big man. The big man's face changed drastically in an instant, followed by grief and indignation, and even tears welled up in the tiger's eyes. He turned to the unknown hunters beside him, and said in a trembling voice: "Last night, Zhuang ...... Patriarch Zhuang was ...... It's bad!"

It was like a thunderbolt. All the Orions froze for a moment, and for a moment there was a strange silence. Finally, a young man said loudly: "Impossible! Patriarch, he has martial arts and is a god of our Dream Hunter Clan for thousands of years, how can it be ......" As soon as he said, everyone next to him nodded and said in unison: "Impossible!"

Ah Tie's face was extremely ugly, and he seemed to be able to hold back the grief in his heart, and said, "This is indeed true! Those two thieves broke into Li's house last night and caused chaos. The patriarch and his old man did not take any precautions...... fell for the tricks of two thieves...... If not, how could I dress like this, and how dare I go up the mountain to find Head Jin with this emergency reporting stick personally designated by Village Chief Li of Qixia Village?"

As soon as they heard him, they noticed again his body and the strange-looking wooden staff in his hand, and finally believed everything he said. Someone started crying loudly. Then everyone cried to Qixia Village!

Wu and Liang, who were hiding in the bushes, were really surprised and delighted! Happily, Zhuang Zhou was really killed last night. This is definitely a miracle! This group of ordinary villagers was so sad about Zhuang Zhou's death, and it seemed that Zhuang Zhou had established great prestige in just half a year.

How did they know that since Zhuang Zhou killed Leng Ghost and Gong Dingren, and reduced taxes in various villages, the villagers were grateful to him. He has long been regarded as the god of the Dream Hunter Clan for thousands of years!

Of course, what the two of them were more afraid of at the moment was that Zhuang Zhou's death had obviously aroused the anger of these villagers, if they found out. It must have been chopped into pureed meat.

Sure enough, in the midst of the crying, the big man roared: "I knew that this had happened, and I said last night that I would not bring everyone here to hunt...... We must catch these two thieves, break the corpses into ten thousand pieces, and avenge the patriarch!" everyone cried together: "Catch the thieves, break the corpses into ten thousand pieces!"

Wu and Liang were so frightened that their faces were colorless, and the two trembled.

Ah Tie said: "I came here on the orders of Village Chief Li to ask Head Jin to lead everyone to quickly launch a search...... Village Chief Li concluded that the two thieves must still be not far from Qixia Village, and now all the regiments in the village have already taken action. Captain Jin is responsible for the North Pass under the mountain!"

When the big man heard that the thief who killed the patriarch had not fled far, he immediately clenched his fist with his right hand, waved it up, and said: "Okay, let's go down the mountain to search, don't let go of a corner, seal all the ways out of the North Mountain Pass, and definitely capture these two thieves alive!"

The group hurried down the mountain, ignoring the thunderbolt beast that had been hunted down so easily.

Seeing everyone go down the mountain, Wu and Liang's nervous hearts slowly relaxed, but they didn't dare to come out until all the figures disappeared. Brother Wu heard a few ticking sounds in his ears, and when he looked at it, he found that Senior Brother Liang was sweating profusely, and the beads of sweat rolled down one by one, dripping on the leaves around him, making a ticking sound. And Senior Brother Liang's clothes are all soaked!

Brother Wu looked back at himself, and it turned out that he was the same, soaking wet all over his body, and the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down like soybeans!

However, he felt a chill welling up from the bottom of his heart!

The scene just now scared them enough.

However, they escaped from under the noses of the angry villagers!

After a long time, Senior Brother Wu said softly: "Senior Brother, let's hurry up! After a while, maybe that group of people will search up along the mountain road......" Senior Brother Liang came to his senses and nodded hurriedly.

The two of them came out of the bushes, their clothes pricked by thorns, and their skin was cut in many places, and they were drenched in blood. But the two of them did not care about the embarrassment, nor the thunderbolt beast lying there, and climbed up the hillside until they reached the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking forward, the two were overjoyed. It turns out that this mountain is actually the junction of Yunmeng Mountain and Feimeng Mountain, and after turning over this mountain and crossing a river, you will return to the boundary of Feimeng Mountain.

I have to say that not only did they have good luck last night, but even today's escape was lucky!

Luck was a little weird.

Qixia Village, the old house of the Li family, in the room on the second floor of the garden attic.

Ma Tianhu, Li Li, and a man in Tsing Yi stood in front of a person who was smiling, bowing his head, and looking through a thin booklet in his hand. Then he raised his head and said to himself: "This booklet says that Li Chaowen only went up the mountain when he was twelve years old, so what the three old men in the village said is right...... However, just knowing when he went up the mountain still can't know what happened to the fire back then......"

The man glanced at Ma Tianhu again and said, "Senior Brother Ma, you said that Uncle Ma didn't know anything about the fire back then?"

Ma Tianhu said: "That's what my father said......"

The man nodded, stopped talking, and seemed to be lost in thought.

This person is, of course, Zhuang Zhou!

Zhuang Zhou put away the booklet and said to the man in Tsing Yi: "Zhang Yulin, before you came, did Senior Brother Zhou have anything to bring?" Zhang Yulin said respectfully: "Senior Brother Zhou said, please rest assured that the patriarch will arrange everything on the mountain, as long as he is there, Zhou Bonian of Feimeng Mountain will not dare to have the slightest covetousness......"

Zhuang Zhou nodded and smiled, he knew Zhou Long's temper and ability. Now that Yin Ji has not returned from the WTO, everything in Yunmeng Mountain is on the right track, the mining of ore and the refining of Gunian Dan are in full swing, Ma Shanhao cannot be separated, and the defense of the mountain can only rely on Zhou Long. However, after he groaned, he said leisurely: "However, in less than seven days, Zhou Bonian will still come!"

Zhang Yulin was puzzled and didn't understand what Zhuang Zhou's words meant. Ma Tianhu and Li Li looked admiring, and they had a look of eagerness.

Zhuang Zhou said: "Li Li, the success of this strategy is inseparable from the Zhuang Ding you trained. I'm very interested in talking about your approach to managing the village after you came to Qixia Village!"

Li Lihan said with a smile: "The patriarch has praised me! I, Li Li, am a rough man, how can I do it...... I have never been a village chief, and after I returned to Qixia Village, I had a muddy head, the village was so big, thousands of villagers, and a plate of scattered sand, and I had no clue at all, but I was so worried that I was dead! Several times I wanted to go up the mountain and beg you to spare me as the village chief! Later, I thought, why don't I find a few more helpers? After thinking about it for a few days and nights, I finally came up with a stupid idea: That is, ten villagers should be a group, and there should be a regiment leader, and the regiment leader would be responsible for managing the ten households, and the regiment leader would be responsible for me...... The young and middle-aged men of each regiment are usually farmers, and when they encounter urgent and important matters, they are soldiers, and when they are free, the regiment commander is responsible for training...... In this way, it will be much easier for me, taxing, hunting, I just need to summon the group leader to order......"

Zhuang Zhou nodded frequently, thinking that his choice of Li Li was just an expedient measure, but he didn't expect that this Li Li seemed to be rude, but in fact he was quite scheming, and it seemed that this decision was really right at the beginning! Today's big drama is also fortunate that Zhuang Ding of Qixia Village is well-trained, otherwise, he really dare not guarantee success.

Zhuang Zhou said: "This is not a stupid method, and the wisdom in it is not something that ordinary people can have! I think it can be promoted to all villages...... However, the villagers are organized to train, and all the people are soldiers, and the most important issue is: these people must be able to be absolutely loyal, ...... to the village, to Yunmeng Mountain, and to the Dream Hunter Clan."

Hearing Zhuang Zhou's praise, Li Li was flattered, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he trembled again, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the people trained by Li Li are absolutely loyal to Yunmeng Mountain and you, the patriarch!"

Zhuang Zhou was very pleased, and said: "Next, let Zhou Bonian be fooled, there are still many plays to be performed...... I deduce that when Zhou Bonian comes out this time, he must go to Qixia Village first, because Qixia Village has what he wants most. So, everything I arrange, you and your people must make sure that nothing goes wrong!"

Li Li straightened up and said, "Yes!"

Zhuang Zhou said to Zhang Yulin again: "You go back to Yunmeng Mountain quickly, and say this and this to Senior Brother Zhou...... Be sure to do what I say!"

Zhang Yulin listened to Zhuang Zhou's careful instructions, his eyes widened, and he didn't know why, but since the patriarch ordered, how could he dare to ask more?

Watching Ma Tianhu, Li Li, and Zhang Yulin withdraw, Zhuang Zhou sneered and said: "It's time to close the net......" (to be continued......
