Chapter 18 Looking at the Mountain
"Can this guy be trusted?" On the way back to the camp where they had temporarily stayed, Peng Ze asked when he saw an opportunity to come to Jiang Mei's side.
"Take a look. Jiang Mei said noncommittally.
"But...... This guy's combat power is not bad, if you can't believe it, what if you turn back at the critical moment?"
"You think he's so easy to turn back. This guy's combat power has just passed the agitation period, and looking at his appearance, does he seem to have a lot of experience?"
"That's not it, standing and walking are like raw hands. ”
"I'm staring at him, don't worry. If there's a problem, I'll be the first to go. You're going to have to take care of that shadow lizard, and put something smelly on it. We have the Jade Spotted Tiger and the Golden Thread Bird to assist, and the invisibility at close range will not help us. However, since people take the initiative to help, they can't chill other people's hearts. Jiang Mei said.
"Okay. This guy's trick just now was pretty good. Multiple good players can be very useful. ”
Peng Ze's worries are not superfluous, but with a guide who is extremely familiar with the terrain and landforms here, and a demon beast like a shadow lizard that will climb mountains and mountains and climb cliffs and cliffs, the benefits are obvious. Moreover, this Zara "generously" gave them six shadow lizard eggs, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye to this kind of favor. Even though he knew that it was strange for Zheluo to return to the depths of the gorge at night and rush over early in the morning to deliver something and ask for joining, at least he didn't feel too malicious. Therefore, Chengbang quickly made up his mind not to compete with the gravel pile at the mouth of the gorge, but to prepare to toss Heifeng Village, which everyone knew and liked to see.
The main body of Heifeng Village was only half a day's distance from the mouth of the gorge, and after cleaning up the camp, they rushed to a place where they could see the tip of the largest building in Heifeng Village, the "Juyi Hall", before nightfall, and set up camp again. It stands to reason that this kind of place should also be on the patrol route of the outlying outposts of Black Wind Village, but because they are all brave guys in their line, plus Zheluo led the way, they still found this place under two cliffs. The patrol of Black Wind Village also wants to include this side in the scope of inspection, but the average patrol soldier does not have the ability to climb the mountains and mountains at will, and it takes a detour to take a look, and it needs to climb the mountain road for at least an hour more. Over time, this place has become the closest patrol black hole to Black Wind Village.
Being able to appear in this kind of place is enough to show the depth of Zheluo's resentment towards Black Wind Village. This is not a place that can be found once or twice to investigate, God knows how many times he has run through the periphery of the Black Wind Village, relying on the ability of the shadow lizard, maybe he has gone to explore the Black Wind Village.
Chengbang asked about this, and Zheluo admitted it without any subtlety.
"As I said, I have a grudge against Black Wind Village. I knew I couldn't beat them, I couldn't kill them, but it wasn't hard to get out there or sneak in. Before and after, I also killed a lot of bandits who did whatever they wanted in the Black Wind Village. It's not revenge, but one day I'm going to bulldoze that hall. ”
"That hall looks pretty well repaired, maybe we'll have to use it as a council hall for ourselves in the future, and you probably won't be able to fulfill this dream. Cheng Bang teased Zheluo in an extremely strange tone.
Jerro was stunned for a moment and said, "That building is not good-looking......
Cheng Bang said with a smile: "I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't have a family, I want to build a very large-scale building in such a high place, where is it a good-looking thing." How difficult is it to move so much wood and stone just up?"
Jiang Mei interjected: "Young master, this building is still demolished." I don't know what Black Wind Village thinks, anyway, although this building is big, I'm afraid the quality is very problematic. It's not as strong as our stilted buildings, and if we want to operate for a long time, the core buildings will have to be fortified, and I'm afraid this kind of thing will have to be demolished sooner or later. ”
Cheng Bang was stunned, squeezed his eyebrows and looked at Zheluo, and said, "Okay, it seems that it is going to cheapen you." But don't be ruthless when you go back and tear it down, you have to leave all the wood and stone that can be used. ”
Jerro laughed and agreed, but in the blink of an eye, it wasn't right. Didn't he just want to violently dismantle this justice hall? How could he talk about turning himself into a laborer in charge of demolishing the building? However, this thought did not linger in his mind for long, and he was almost immediately attracted by the infiltration plan that several people were discussing.
The shadow lizard climbs the cliffs almost without any obstacles, and its weight-bearing capacity is far stronger than it may seem at first glance. After asking Zheluo, they learned that the Shadow Lizard was actually a perverted creature that could be used as a pack beast, and it was no problem to stack them all together and take them to the Black Wind Village. In fact, Zheluo went in and out of the Black Wind Village by moving forward, basically finding a random direction, relying on the shadow lizard and his own hidden experience, it was easy to get in. Considering that there are more of them and the goal is bigger, then go up directly from the trail behind the mountain, and climb two short rock walls to reach the top of the mountain. Or, there is also a road from the side, which was opened up by Zheluo and made simple marks, and it is no problem to go up and down with their skills, but after going up, it is a little closer to the courtyards where the large group of people and horses in the cottage live.
Jiang Mei didn't think much about it, and immediately said, "Peng Ze and I went down the side path." You two go back to the mountain. Try not to attract the attention of the people in the cottage, go in quietly and come out quietly, and map the terrain clearly, so that it is convenient to start later. There are so few of us now. ”
"Okay. After going up the hill, bypassing places such as warehouses and account rooms, it is the Juyi Hall. The owner of the village does not live near the Juyi Hall at night, and it should be a courtyard in the area where they live together. I didn't dare to dig deeper, so you'll have to be careful yourself. Jerro nodded.
"Hehe, rest assured. Peng Ze's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. He's a professional scout and spy, and he's very good at this kind of stealth spying. Moreover, the reason why he wanted to go with Jiang Mei was also to have a stronger force to rely on, so that he could do something else. As for the back mountain, Cheng Bang and Zheluo are together, with their skills, whether it is tossing or quietly spying, presumably no one on the Black Wind Village should be able to stop them. The owner of the Black Wind Village is just a cultivator in the late stage of the Qi Rush, even if the two of them can't beat it, it's no problem to run away.
After a little discussion, everyone continued to come out on 6. Yang Yang followed Jiang Mei together, which can be regarded as adding a not weak combat power and a very reliable sentry to their journey. Da Bai and Xiao Bai, this time, together with Ye Yichen and Chen Wenxing, were stationed at the camp.
After all, Heifeng Village is a bandit settlement, although the owner of the village, Du Tieyan, seems to have been from the army, but the military knowledge he understands is only a little scratch, although he also knows the light and dark sentry, and knows how to train the villagers, but a lot of knowledge is one-sided after all, and with the lazy nature of the bandits, every detail will not be implemented in place. If you can really do something, in fact, joining the army should be a more promising thing, the two countries of Yue and Chu exchanged troops, and the Chu State still obviously has the upper hand and is attacking the city, just go to get some credit, as long as you can live to the day of the merit, life will not be very sad.
Jiang Mei and Peng Ze almost encountered any obstacles, and came to an artificially carved platform about one or two hundred meters away from the Juyi Hall on the top of the mountain. These are the residences of the people in the village, and the caravans that pass through the Black Wind Village for supplies are either in the storage yard at the foot of the mountain, or on the lower platforms, and they do not have close contact with the people in the village.
Although the sentry post is not a problem, this area is full of people after all, and it is also troublesome to bump into people. Jiang Mei and Peng Ze were more careful. The style of the complex is simple, roughly two vertical and two horizontal roads divide the area into nine parts. Each piece has a relatively large courtyard, surrounded by various small courtyards and simple houses. This is almost the division of power of the entire cottage.
Jiang Mei lurked in the forest on the side, found a big tree, climbed a tall horizontal branch, lay on it, listened to the movement below, waited for the opportunity to move, and was ready to support Peng Ze at any time. And Peng Ze found a corner and knocked out a thief, quickly changed into the thief's clothes, and walked in this residential area in a big way. After walking two laps, he already knew the distribution of this side well.
The house of the owner of the village, Du Tieyan, is naturally in the middle of the entire area, and it is already very tense to install Du Tieyan's own house in that place. In this residential area halfway up the mountainside, he actually made a small garden with gardens and pavilions on a considerable scale. After such a toss, the bandit soldiers who were attached to Du Tieyan had to live in other plots.
On the right side of Du Tieyan's house is the residence of Xu Changyuan, the second person in the cottage and the "white paper fan" Xu Changyuan, who is considered by Du Tieyan to be resourceful. This master is very low-key, he only uses a small courtyard with three entrances, and he also has a bit of elegant taste. But his plot, surrounded by many small houses, firmly surrounded his yard in the depths. For those who are not familiar with this place, I am afraid that even finding the door of his yard will be a problem. This guy's cautiousness and timidity can be seen.
To the left of Du Tieyan's mansion, that is Jin Ge's residence. Although it is said to be the third stall head of Black Wind Village, compared with the mansions of the other two bosses, Jin Ge's residence is really shabby. His dwelling, without walls, separated from the inside and outside, was perfectly connected with the houses of his men, and with the little houses of the people whom he had taken care of, and the slightest privilege was the little courtyard in the middle, made of gravel of various colors, and in the corner of the courtyard there was a deep well for him and his sister alone.
However, if you look closely, although this part of Jinge is very simple, it is the most tidy overall. After a little pondering, I realized that this was probably the handiwork of that little girl in Longnan. Although he is young, Long Nan really has a talent that can't be concealed in terms of logistics and maintenance.
Seeing that Jin Ge's land was like this, Peng Ze didn't dare to enter casually. Jin Ge can open the courtyard and mingle with his subordinates, and his popularity is naturally undoubted. If you enter rashly, I'm afraid you'll be recognized at once. However, what made Peng Ze feel more pleasant was that Jin Ge didn't seem to let him wait longer, and not long after, Jin Ge walked out of Du Tieyan's big courtyard in the center and walked towards his land with a scolding.
"Jin is in charge, do you remember me?" Peng Ze took the initiative to show his figure and blocked in front of Jin Ge.
As soon as he saw Peng Ze, Jin Ge's face turned white instantly, and he stammered, "You...... How are you ...... How did you get here?" (To be continued.!)
