Chapter 53: Yunze Cottage

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......" Several rough boar cries sounded in the mist, and could be heard far away in this silent environment.

"This beast came out to steal food again, and when you fell into the trap, Lao Tzu made you into bacon." Hearing this cry, someone was shouting and cursing.

And here, Ye Ying secretly gave Zhao Hu a thumbs up, and at the critical time, Zhao Hu's vivid voice successfully deceived the patrolling bandits.

Relying on the cover of the fog, Ye Ying and his party quietly followed Chen Tianshun all the way, the terrain here is really complicated, one will be a reed, and a while it will be a path up the mountain, there are many forks along the way, fortunately, Chen Tianshun is not too fast, and the three of them will not be lost.

In order to avoid getting lost, the three of them also walked and left road signs on the side of the road that only a few of them could understand.

At this moment, Ye Ying and the others couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they could successfully follow Chen Tianshun, otherwise, it would be really difficult to find the direction in so many complicated roads.

It is no wonder that the officers and soldiers have not succeeded in exterminating Yunze Village so many times, not to mention that the waterway is not easy to walk, even if it is here. Officers and soldiers who are not familiar with the road, walking on such a road, may not be able to find Yunze Village, and they will be attacked by bandits countless times on the road.

"The second master is back!" After walking for almost half an hour, I finally heard a voice from ahead.

Ye Ying raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw a vague black shadow in the dense fog in front of him, and after a few steps further, he could see the outline of the building.

"Can't go any further." Ye Ying gently called Zhao Hu and Gande on the side, because at this time, he had already found that there was someone in front of him, and there was more than one person, and they were not in the same direction.

"No wonder the officers and soldiers have failed to exterminate this Yunze Village so many times, their sense of precaution is really high, and they actually know how to open and secret sentry." Ye Ying thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had studied with several masters, otherwise, he would not have been able to discover the ambush of the other party.

Under the leadership of Ye Ying, the three of them left the path in the mountain, and with the help of the trees and stones in the mountain, they moved forward little by little, and after a while, a wooden gate appeared in their eyes. Although I can't see what is written on the huge plaque, it is not difficult to guess that this is the famous Yunze Village.

Not daring to get too close to the bandits' cottage, Ye Ying and the others had no choice but to go around the huge village and check on the periphery.

After taking a clear look at the terrain here, Ye Ying had a new understanding of Kuang Zhaolei, the owner of Yunze Village, it seemed that this was a very smart guy who was difficult to deal with.

The location of Yunze Village is very elegant, it is located on a large platform on the mountainside, and there is only one mountain road from bottom to top to reach the cottage. The road is steep at both ends, and if anyone wants to attack the cottage, they will be attacked by the gate and the cliffs on both sides at the same time.

Behind the cottage is a cliff, dozens of meters high, becoming a natural barrier, if someone wants to climb up from the back cliff, it is a very difficult thing, and at the same time will be easily defended by the people above.

On one side of the cottage, there is a road leading to the mountain, making the vast mountainous area the rear of the cottage, if the cottage is really unable to hold, the bandits can escape to the mountain.

After seeing the environment of the cottage clearly, Ye Ying and the others were even more relieved, why this Yunze Village has been established here for more than 20 years and has never been breached.

Maybe he was overconfident, the wall of the cottage was not too high, and according to Ye Ying's skills, he could easily enter the village, but he didn't do it. Because although there is still a distance away, Ye Ying can also judge that there are a lot of people in the village, and if he alarms the guys inside, it will be very difficult for the three of them to escape.

"Looks like we're going to have to spend the night here." The nightingale looked at Zhao Hu and Gander beside him, and said helplessly.

There were many dense forests and rocks on the side of the hillside, and Ye Ying and the others quickly found a small cave that was hidden and dry, and used it as a temporary resting place.

Fortunately, in anticipation of the possibility of such a situation, all three of them had prepared dry food and water in advance, enough to stay here for several days.

The second watch day is the time period when ordinary people sleep the most soundly, most of the bandits in Zeyun Village have fallen into a deep sleep, and even the two people guarding the gate of the village are yawning.

No one noticed that at a corner of the cottage, a figure like a monkey quickly jumped to the wall, and then jumped into the cottage.

The person who entered Zeyun Village at night was Ye Ying, and the purpose of his trip was to take advantage of the night to check the layout of this cottage and prepare for the attack here in the future.

Tonight's sky is very dark, it seems to be a precursor to the imminent rain, but such a dark night is a troublesome thing for ordinary people, and it is not a problem in front of Ye Ying?

Although he is not very familiar with the terrain here, Ye Ying's hearing is extremely strong, and once someone approaches him, he can find it as soon as possible. In this way, he relied on the cover of night and kept observing all corners of the cottage.

With his superb skills, he woke up in the village for half an hour, and almost walked through most of the cottage, but he was not discovered by anyone.

Just now, Ye Ying entered the big wooden house where the bandits were sleeping, and heard the sound of sound one after another inside, and found that when these bandits were sleeping, they actually put their weapons not far away, it seems that their vigilance is still very high.

In the place near the cliff by the lake, Ye Ying found a few houses with lights on, and quietly sneaked over to take a look, it turned out that the early cooks were preparing breakfast for the bandits.

Closest to the cliff, there was a separate cabin, and two bandits were staying in the house, looking boredly in the direction of the cliff, as if to prevent someone from climbing up the cliff.

At this time, Ye Ying had almost finished inspecting the entire cottage, leaving only the last small courtyard in the center of the cottage.

After walking several places in a row, no one found Ye Ying, it seems that although there are more people in this cottage, there are no masters, which makes the tension in his heart relieve a lot.

The next thing to go to is the last target of Ye Ying's trip, in the innermost independent courtyard of the village, it seems that this is a relatively important place, because there are several bandits standing at the gate of the courtyard.

This scene immediately aroused Ye Ying's interest, he quietly went around to the hidden place, jumped into the courtyard, and found that there were actually several independent rooms here, and it seemed that people lived here.

Ye Ying quietly climbed on the roof of a room, uncovered the roof tiles, and looked into the house, because the light in the room was too dim, no one could see too clearly, and noticed that there was no one in the house, so she decided to go inside the house to check.

Ye Ying quickly came down from the eaves. When he came to a wooden window, he gently pulled it open and entered the hut.

The light in the room was very dim, but it couldn't stump Ye Ying, and it didn't take long for him to get used to the light here, and the outline of the furnishings in the room appeared in front of him.

The furnishings in the house are much better than the place where the bandits slept just now that Ye Ying saw, and there is actually a separate wooden bed, which can only be owned by the rich among the people, it seems that this is the place where the more important people among the bandits live.

As time passed, he could see more clearly what was inside the house, and he could now tell that it was a place where a single man lived.

Because he didn't hear anyone moving outside the house, Ye Ying's courage grew, and he began to look through some things in the house. In fact, the people who live here don't have many things, mainly some weapons and clothing.

In the end, Ye Ying judged the identity of the owner of the house from a piece of clothing on a wooden shelf, it was Chen Tianshun who Ye Ying and others were following during the day, but why was Chen Tianshun not in his house at this time?

Leaving the house where Chen Tianshun lived, Ye Ying inspected several other rooms in the courtyard successively, and found that there were rooms where servants lived, and there were also female dependents living in some rooms.

In the sky, there was a sudden burst of lightning and thunder, and after a while, it actually began to rain. However, the rain did not bring Ye Ying any trouble, but brought some convenience to his sneaking.

After inspecting several houses, Ye Ying finally found Chen Tianshun in a room with lights on, and at this time, he was sitting there with a very elegant-looking middle-aged man.

On the table in front of the two of them, there was a wine jar, and there were many appetizers on the table, and these two people were still drinking here at such a late hour.

"Second brother, don't be too depressed at this time, one day, my brother will help you take off the head of Lu Tianzhao's old guy and make it a night pot." The elegant middle-aged man picked up the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for Lu Tianzhao and said.

"Big brother, after so many years, every time I think of the blood feud of the whole family, the little brother can't sleep at night. This time, the eldest brother poured all his strength into the village, and even folded several brothers to create such a good opportunity for me, but I wasted it in vain, and I hated it when I thought about it! Chen Tianshun said this, picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all.

By this time, Ye Ying was finally able to determine that this elegant middle-aged man was actually Kuang Zhaolei, the leader of Yun Ze's bandits, but Ye Ying never dreamed that this famous bandit was like a weak scholar.

"The second child doesn't have to worry, now that Lu Tianzhao is no longer an official, there are far fewer people around him to protect him, and we will have opportunities in the future." At this time, Kuang Zhaolei's voice came into Ye Ying's ears again.

"It's not that guy, I'm going to get it this time." Chen Tianshun was obviously still a little unwilling, and he punched the table.

"But second brother, the young officer you mentioned is a bit extraordinary, not only is his kung fu very high, but his judgment ability is also extraordinary, if we have such a person in our cottage, then the strength will be much stronger." Kwong Zhaolei said on the side again.

"Big brother, you're joking, this young man is obviously sixteen or seventeen years old, he is already an officer, and it seems that he is also highly regarded in the Wild Lion Army, so he will definitely not join us." Chen Tianshun shook his head and said.

Ye Ying can now understand that the young man in the mouth of the two is himself, and he can't help but feel a little funny, these two people may not have dreamed that they would be close to them at this time.

The two were drinking and chatting in the room, but Ye Ying, who was lying on the roof, was a little uncomfortable, in order not to make a sound, he didn't move in place, even though he was already a martial artist in the middle of the second grade, he now felt a little sore back.

"Who?" Kuang Zhaolei, who was talking to Chen Tianshun, suddenly raised his head and shouted.

This sudden shout startled Ye Ying, he had just moved a little because of the numbness in his legs, and only made a faint sound, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Kuang Zhaolei.

From this point alone, it is not difficult for Ye Ying to judge that this bandit leader, who looks like a weak scholar, is actually far above himself in kung fu.

Do you run or stay here? Now a difficult problem is in front of Ye Ying.
