Chapter Ninety-Four: An Undercurrent in the Mountains
"Well, I'll listen to your arrangement." Wu Song compromised.
Wu Zhi was silent beside him.
Although he didn't know the specific situation, he could vaguely guess that the target of tonight's action was probably not an ordinary mountain bandit!
"Alright, since you have no objections, let's go now."
After Hu Sanniang finished speaking, she led everyone out of the secret room and ran down the mountain.
Along the way, she didn't say a word, and her face turned pale.
"Sanniang, what's wrong with you, your face is so bad, are you tired?" Wu Song asked with concern.
"It's okay! Wu Zhi, you should recuperate from your injuries first, our business will be talked about later! ”
Hu Sanniang said coldly.
"Yes." Wu Zhi nodded respectfully.
After Hu Sanniang and the others left, Wu Zhi frowned and pondered.
His injuries have improved a lot after being treated by Lin Qian'er last night.
But it still hasn't recovered to its peak condition, so it's still a little weak, and I need to recuperate for a while before I can fully recover as before!
And he always had a doubt in his mind.
What is the origin of those mountain bandits?
There are so many masters!
Could it really be that someone from a certain sect wants to come and trouble him?
Wu Zhi thought secretly, but he wasn't worried, because he was well prepared!
After thinking about it, I still felt a little unbearable, and I didn't want to stay in Zhuangzi by myself.
"Brother, your injuries are fine, right?"
"It's okay."
"Alright, let's go."
Wu Zhi agreed, and then left with Hu Sanniang and the others.
Hujiazhuang back mountain.
Wu Zhi took a few of his subordinates and quietly lurked behind a boulder.
"Sixth, you take someone to search the neighborhood to see if there are any suspicious people."
"Yes, Boss!"
The sixth said yes, and with a group of men, they scattered and walked in all directions.
"Fourth, the sixth's subordinates have all dispersed, what should we do now?"
"Don't you know how to tell fortunes? Do the math, is there any treasure in this Hujiazhuang? ”
"Yes!"
The person who was called the fourth child took out a bamboo tube, opened it, took out a brush from it, wrote on the paper, and after a while, stopped moving.
"Boss, you guessed it."
The fourth put away the bamboo tube and said.
"Say!"
"There is a very peculiar place in this Zhuangzi." The fourth said.
"What's so strange?"
"There is a very strange thing about this, that is, the houses in this village are all made of wood and have no walls."
The fourth said, pointing to a place.
Looking in the direction of his finger, he saw that on the hillside in the distance, there were indeed many simple wooden houses, and every ten meters or so, there was a wooden stick standing on the ground.
It looks awkward.
"These stakes are there to prevent thieves from approaching, right?"
"Yes!"
"But isn't that too shabby?"
Wu Zhi frowned and said.
"These stakes are used to confuse people's eyes and prevent thieves from touching them!"
"I see!"
Wu Zhi suddenly realized.
"Boss, what are we going to do now? Do you want to attack? ”
"No way!" Wu Zhi hurriedly shook his head and said: "Now we still have injuries on our bodies, if we act rashly, we will only lose our lives in vain, it is not advisable!" ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"This Hujiazhuang is a little weird, let's observe and observe first, if there is a chance, we still find a way to empty the things here, so that we can send the news out as soon as possible, and then find a way to solve it!"
"Hmm!"
"Now everyone has listened to me, now I order you to disperse out to investigate the information, and be sure to find out the situation outside Hujiazhuang! Also, I hope you will be careful not to reveal your identity! ”
"Got it!"
The crowd replied in unison.
"Excellent! Then let's wait patiently here. Wu Zhi nodded in satisfaction.
……
At night, the wind rustles the leaves and occasionally a few birdsongs.
Wu Zhi sat cross-legged on a rock, his eyes closed.
Next to him, there are three small tables and four chairs.
In front of the table, there are several jugs of wine, a plate of side dishes, and a pot of tea.
"This son, a cultivator like yours will be trapped here?"
Suddenly, a man walked by.
This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, dressed plainly, but it is difficult to hide his heroic spirit.
Wu Zhi opened his eyes and glanced at the young man, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The young man said with a smile: "My name is Zhao Wenlong, and I am Zhuang Ding of Hujiazhuang. ”
"Oh! Do you know why I'm stuck here? ”
Wu Zhi asked.
"Of course I do!" Zhao Wenlong said.
"Oh?" Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Wenlong suspiciously.
Zhao Wenlong smiled and said, "Because you offended the daughter of our owner, he sent me to arrest you." ”
"Where did I mess with his daughter?" Wu Zhi asked suspiciously.
Zhao Wenlong said: "You injured one of our owner's subordinates, what do you say?" ”
"You mean, I killed him?"
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "Since I am living here, how can I cause trouble?" I can swear to God, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me! ”
He raised his right fist and swore to the heavens, his face serious.
Zhao Wenlong didn't expect Wu Zhi to make such a decision, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then he laughed.
"Haha, okay, since you dare to swear, I believe you!"
"You have also seen the methods of our owner, his daughter is not a good stubble, you have to be careful!"
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Then I really thank you for reminding me!" ”
"It's good if you're not afraid, if you're afraid, we won't be able to help you!"
Zhao Wenlong patted Wu Zhi's shoulder and said.
"Haha, thank you for your attention!"
……
Following.
Wu Zhi got up early, ate, changed into a set of clothes, came to the outside of the village, and waited for Zhao Wenlong.
They agreed that on the left side of Wuzhi, about two quarters of an hour away, they could reach the cottage.
"Look, who is that?"
"Isn't that Wuzhi?"
"It's really him!"
Wu Zhi stood in front of a tree, looking into the distance.
After a while, Zhao Wenlong came galloping on a horse, and began to greet and wave from a long distance.
"Brother Wuzhi!"
"Hehe, you're here!" Wu Zhi smiled.
"We have gone to find information in the way you said, and now we have determined the specific location of the cottage, but the number of bandits is not very large, there are less than a hundred people, we need to solve them at once!" Zhao Wenlong said with a smile.
"Not bad! I thought so too! ”
"Then let's get started!"
"Good!"
The two nodded, then galloped towards the cottage.
……
"Master, those two people have already left Zhuangzi!"
"Hmph, I knew they were leaving, our plan was seamless!"
As soon as Wu Zhi and Zhao Wenlong walked out of Zhuangzi, someone immediately notified them to go out!
"Haha, I knew it would be like this, and sure enough, I guessed it!"
Wu Zhi laughed, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Brother Wuzhi, what should we do next?"
