As everyone rode into the mountain forest, it didn't take long for rows of neat wooden houses to appear in front of them.

Although the Lion Mountain is entrenched in mountain bandits, there are still many villages in the huge Lion Mountain. It's just that judging from the current situation, these villages seem to be empty.

"Your Highness, there is someone ahead!"

The group marched a few kilometers again, and at that moment, the voice of a guard who was at the forefront on horseback suddenly came. When Li Chengwen heard this, he immediately looked in the direction of the guard's finger, and saw two figures, one old and one young, which came into everyone's sight.

"Go up and have a look, be careful."

Li Chengwen immediately spoke.

When one of the guards heard this, he immediately nodded, turned over and dismounted, and walked forward quickly.

"Uncle, has something happened?"

The guard stepped forward and looked at the old man leaning on the trunk of the tree and asked, and at the same time couldn't help but look the old man and the young up and down.

The old man seemed to be in his sixties, but his face was extremely pale at the moment, and there was a faint blood stain on the corner of his mouth.

The young man on the side was in his early twenties, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were still clearly visible.

"This brother, the old man is from the Wanjia family in Tianyang City, and this is the grandson of the old man. As we passed through this place, we were sacked by mountain bandits, who not only robbed us of the belongings we were carrying, but also seriously injured the old man and captured the female relatives who accompanied us. ”

"I don't know if the little brother can do the old man a favor, if the little brother wants to go to Tianyang City, can he take the old man's grandson on the road together?"

Hearing the old man's words, the guard first glanced at the young man on the side, and then said, "Old man, you wait first." ”

After speaking, the guard turned around and left, returned to Li Chengwen and informed Li Chengwen of the matter.

"Shizi, what do you think?"

Li Chengwen frowned slightly, and looked at Chu Mo.

This wilderness, suddenly let them encounter such a thing, it is worth being vigilant. Besides, since they were sacked by mountain bandits, why are the old and the young safe and sound? This is doubtful.

"Anyway, we're going to pass through Tianyang City this time, so we might as well bring it with us."

Chu Mo thought for a moment and spoke.

After listening to Chu Mo's words, Li Chengwen nodded to the guards and agreed.

In this way, the old man and the young followed Chu Mo and the others to embark on the road to Tianyang City together.

Along the way, Chu Mo always talked to the old man without a word. And for everything Chu Mo said, the old man responded one by one.

This can't blame Chu Mo for being careful, after all, the threat of Jian Yulou has not been lifted yet, and for these pervasive people, being careful can sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship.

"Shizi, is there something wrong with this old man?"

Mu Tong rode his horse to Chu Mo's side and asked in a low voice. If Chu Mo nodded at this moment, Mu Tong would not hesitate to take action and solve this old and young man.

Who knew that Chu Mo shook his head. Under the conversation just now, Chu Mo didn't notice that there was anything wrong with this old man, which made Chu Mo feel a little confused.

"Although I didn't see anything unusual, one thing was certain, this old man was not an ordinary old man. In short, keep an eye on these two and keep an eye on what is going on around you. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”

Chu Mo changed his words and spoke.

"What Shizi means is that there is a problem with these two people!" Mu Tong's eyes froze, and he looked at the two of them without leaving a trace.

Chu Mo nodded, and quickly shook his head again, Fang Cai's words were just some of his guesses. However, until they realize what is wrong, they can only wait and see.

Time passed minute by minute, and three hours later, the towering walls of Tianyang City appeared in everyone's sight.

"A few sons, there is Tianyang City ahead."

Looking at the city gate not far away, the old man said with a smile.

At the same time, at the moment when Chu Mo and the others arrived in Tianyang City, in an inn in Tianyang City, Zhong Yutong, who had already arrived in Tianyang City to wait for Chu Mo and the others, received the news as soon as possible.

"It's good, it's finally here. How's everything going? Wan San Qian was not exposed, right? ”

"Rest assured, everything is in plan."

"Okay, well, inform the people of Wanjia that everything is going according to plan. When the time comes, we'll join forces and catch them all! ”

Zhong Yutong's face sank, and his voice was extremely cold.

"Dharma Protector, wouldn't it be risky to do this? The overall strength of the other party is not weak, and Wanjia may not be able to ......"

Before the man could finish speaking, Zhong Yutong waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't worry, this Dharma Protector has his own way to deal with this matter." Zhong Yutong looked confident.

In the entire Qingzhou Rebellion, Tianyang City, which was the most severely affected, was one of them, because of its proximity to Shishan, during these months, the mountain bandits of Shishan often rioted, entered the city to grab supplies, and killed many people, which also made Tianyang City hate the inaction of the imperial court.

And when he came to Tianyang City, Zhong Yutong had already informed the county guard of Tianyang City that Chu Mo and the others were from the imperial court, and it was conceivable what Chu Mo and the others would encounter if they entered Tianyang City.

All of this seems to be in Zhong Yutong's plan.

And at this moment, Chu Mo and the others had already entered Tianyang City. In order to thank Chu Mo and others for their righteous rescue, the old man of Wanjia invited Chu Mo and others to Wanjia as guests, and Chu Mo and others naturally did not refuse, and went to Wanjia with the old man.

After coming to Wanjia, they learned that the old man they saved on the road was actually Wan Hexiang, the father of Wan Sanqian, the county guard of Tianyang City.

And in order to thank Chu Mo and the others, Wan Sanqian even held a banquet in the best restaurant in Tianyang City, saying that he wanted to do his best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and his words were even more unrefusable, which made Li Chengwen and the others finally feel that something was wrong.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

After Wan Sanqian left, Wen Zijin hurriedly came to Chu Mo and asked.

When Wan Sanqian said that he wanted to do his best to be a landlord, they made it clear that there was no need to be so troublesome. But Wan Qiansan completely ignored their meaning and chose to leave directly, which made Wen Zijin and the others puzzled.

Without waiting for Chu Mo to speak, Li Chengwen on the side said quietly: "What else can you mean, I'm afraid that these three thousand people already know that we are people sent by the imperial court to investigate the changes in Qingzhou, and this so-called friendship of landlords is probably a Hongmen banquet." ”

Hearing this, Wen Zijin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Since this is the case, then why do we have to agree?" ”

"Yes, if you go, wouldn't it be a sheep in the tiger's mouth?" Gu Yehua couldn't help but say loudly.

"Not necessarily!"

At this moment, Chu Mo spoke lightly, even in the face of the current situation, Chu Mo's face was still unshocked......
