Xiao Hai was still silent and didn't speak, Aunt Jin looked at Xiao Hai and left tears in distress, hugged Xiao Hai's head and said, "My hard-working child!"

Xiao Hai was silent for a long time and then stood up and said, "Master, mother." I don't have to think about this matter, since not only myself, but even my mother has a common enmity with the Heavenly Evil Sect, then the matter is simple. Mother's hatred, and my family's murder revenge, I am bound to investigate to the end, child! The child has no reason to shirk, mother, Master, I have decided to go to the White Camel Sect!"

Aunt Jin said: "Xiaohai, no matter what decision you make, I will ask you to be safe." Xiao Hai nodded emphatically. The three of them finally calmed down.

The master said: "I heard that recently, the Tianxia Sect has been allowed by the government to go down the mountain to openly recruit disciples, and Taihang Mountain will come, I don't know if the White Camel Sect will come or not, do you remember Lin Xiu'er." At that time, I liked you very much, and I didn't know if it would come to you. ”

Xiao Hai smiled and said, "If they don't come, I'll be cheeky to find him." But if my sister were still alive, she would be about the same age. Master nodded.

The mood of the three members of the family finally calmed down, as warm as usual, Xiaohai asked the master: "What should Zhou Shichen do, now that there is this brother for no reason, I really don't want to admit it." ”

Master said, "Lord Zhou just wants to test our relationship firmly, and you don't have to worry too much. It's up to Lord Zhou to make his own decision, and it's really not appropriate for us to act without permission now. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside the house shouted, "Brother Hong Xian has been at home?"

The voice was from Lord Zhou, the master pushed open the door and saw that Lord Zhou, who was wearing civilian clothes, shouted at his yard with Xiaoxiao and a family, and the master and Xiaohai were actually losing Aunt Jin's house.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lord Zhou was stunned, but he still smiled, Master and Aunt Jin hurriedly invited people into the room, Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Hai, and smiled a little unnaturally, Xiao Hai grinned.

The master spoke, "Big brother, why did you suddenly come to this cold house?"

Lord Zhou laughed: "It's all my own family, of course I have to come to recognize the door." ”

Master smiled: "Big brother, I was still discussing Shichen with Xiaohai just now, and I want to hear your opinion." ”

Lord Zhou smiled bitterly: "What can I say, I can only wait, I have prepared a letter to report to the imperial court, requesting the encirclement and suppression of Qingyun Village, but there is a difficulty, all the thieves captured last night committed suicide, and it does have something to do with Qingyun Village from the identity check, but there is no direct evidence." Moreover, Qingyunzhai does not belong to Wuyou Town, but is under the jurisdiction of Yin Liu Yanzhang, the government of Gusu City, which is a bit difficult to do. ”

The master said, "Big brother, do I have an idea that I would like to hear?"

Master Zhou said in a burst of spirit: "Brother Xian, if you have something to say, it's okay to talk about it!"

The master said: "Big brother, I plan to let Xiao Hai go to find out if Shichen is in Qingyun Village, if so, we will have a reason to send troops." ”

Master Zhou was overjoyed, but then said: "No, although Xiao Hai has martial arts, how can he let him go into danger alone?!"

The master arrived: "Big brother, listen to me, I understand Xiaohai's ability." Besides, yesterday's gang of thieves will definitely not be in Qingyun Village, Qingyun Village should just be a tool for them to use, using more people in Qingyun Village to create chaos, and then they take the opportunity to catch the public and lose Jinchen. Do you think, the Heavenly Evil Sect acted so carefully, how could it be so easy to collude with the bandits and be under the same roof? If my guess is correct, the small group of bandits nearby were also instigated by the Heavenly Evil Sect, that is, to save people, but also to disturb the world, and the more chaotic the world, the better it would be for the Heavenly Evil Sect. Qingyunzhai should only be there for the Liu family, so if I go to spy and want to get out, I am still full of confidence in my apprentice. ”

Lord Zhou hesitated and said, "The people of the Taihang Mountain Sect should be here tomorrow, should we wait?"

Xiao Hai said: "I can't wait, Young Master Zhou has been arrested for so long, we must determine his safety, and the Taihang Mountain Sword Sect has arrived, these actions still have to be done, why don't I set off today, if I make sure that Young Master Zhou is in Qingyun Village, I will directly send a signal that we will annihilate Qingyun Village in one fell swoop, so as to save time." ”

Lord Zhou said to Xiao Hai: "Xiao Hai, first of all, there will be no more adults and young masters in this room in the future, if you don't want to call him brother, you can call him by his name." Second, I can't put your child at risk. I'll send someone to find out on my own. ”

Xiao Hai thought to himself, let me call him brother, I can't call him dead.

Xiao Hai continued: "It's better for me to go, you don't want me to be in danger, I'm very happy, but except that I am my master, my master needs to stay in Wuyou Town to prevent the Heavenly Evil Sect from snooping on the public loss class and your safety again." ”

Lord Zhou hesitated and said, "Okay, but there is a condition, if there is any accident in spying, Xiaohai, you don't have to worry about Zhou Shichen's safety, and flee by yourself!"

Xiao Hai smiled: "Okay!"

The family decided so, Xiaohai was quite prepared, and Aunt Jin helped prepare a set of night clothes and sorted out the sword for him. Master and Master Zhou were drinking tea and talking about the world in other courtyards. At this time, Xiaoxiao came to Xiaohai's house.

Xiaoxiao took Aunt Jin's arm and said, "Xiaohai, why did you become my father's son and my brother?"

Aunt Jin was snickering there, Xiaoxiao shook Aunt Jin's arm and coquettishly, Xiaohai said angrily: "If you don't become your brother, you have to become your father-in-law, which one do you choose?"

Xiaoxiao's face turned red and ran out, Aunt Jin looked at Xiaohai and said, "You mouth, I don't know whose girl will marry you in the future." ”

Xiaohai smiled and said, "Mother, look at what you said, it should be whose girl has a great blessing and such a good mother-in-law hahaha." ”

Aunt Jin shook her head helplessly, Xiaohai was almost ready, ready to go.

Xiaoxiao suddenly came back and said, "You must be careful, brother!"

Xiao Hai sighed in his heart: "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?"

Xiao Xiao was angry: "I'll call you brother, no matter what happens in the future, I don't have to thank you, this is what you should do!"

Xiao Hai looked at Aunt Jin and said, "It's a loss, it's better to marry, and you can beat it if you have nothing to do!"

Xiao Xiao said angrily: "Yan Xiaohai, your stinky mouth will be beaten to death sooner or later, ignore you!"

Everyone sent Xiao Hai out, Xiao Hai turned around and waved his hand, and ran to Qinglong Mountain. looked at Xiaohai's distant back.

Master Zhou said: "Xiao Hai is so chivalrous when he is young, and it is a blessing to have an apprentice, but I am still a little worried about Xiao Hai going alone." ”

Master smiled and said, "Big brother, have you ever heard of the case of abduction and trafficking of young girls in Yangzhou last year?" Lord Zhou was stunned: "Why haven't you heard that Lord Yin Cui of Yangzhou City Mansion has an old relationship with me, and it is mentioned in the correspondence that there are masters who rescued more than a dozen girls and killed dozens of thieves, and the same is true in Chongzhou." Isn't it?"

Master laughed: "It's all done by this kid!"

Master Zhou smiled slightly: "If my son had half of Xiaohai's potential, I would be able to wake up laughing in my dreams, but it will be different in the future, he is my righteous son hahaha!"

Master said, "Then congratulations to the eldest brother!"

Lord Zhou arched his hand and smiled: "Joy and joy!"

Xiaoxiao pulled Aunt Jin and said, "I didn't see that my child was lost and I was so happy." ”

Aunt Jin pulled Xiaoxiao back to the house and said, "Don't pay attention to them, men have problems with their brains!"

After Xiaohai got out of the town, his pace accelerated, Qingyunzhai was at least eighty miles away from Wuyou Town, it was already past noon, he should be able to arrive before dark, and he should be able to see the terrain of the mountain during the day, and he should act well at night. Xiao Hai inquired all the way, and finally arrived at the foot of Qinglong Mountain for two hours. The mountain is so large that you can't see the end at a glance, and it stands tall and wooded.

Xiaohai inquired about the specific location of Qingyun Village, because Qingyun Village has business dealings with nearby mountain villages and towns, so many locals know about it. Xiao Hai walked along the wide road, and for most of the hour, he finally saw a building halfway up the mountainside, and you could see in the distance that this village was surprisingly large, occupying almost half of the mountain. Xiao Hai didn't dare to take the big road and went directly into the woods, from the mountains and forests, to the height, Xiao Hai was looking at the cottage, and Xiao Hai found the way to the cottage. The mountain cliff is dozens of zhang high, there is only one iron chain bridge, which can pass people, the place where the cottage is located is surrounded by bare cliffs, which can not be seen from the foot of the mountain at all, and behind it is to do high mountains, towering into the clouds.

Xiao Hai thought to himself that it was no wonder that Qingyunzhai dared to go against the government, even if there was no Liu Yanzhang, if the officers and soldiers attacked Qingyunzhai, it would be difficult to reach the sky, it was simply a natural danger. Xiaohai spent half an hour detouring to the mountains behind Qingyun Village, and at first glance it was also a cliff, and he couldn't go up at all. Xiaohai is in trouble now, and he can't enter the village at all. When Xiao Hai turned back to the main road, it was already dusk, and the sunset greeted the Qingyun Village on the top of the mountain as gorgeous as the Heavenly Palace, but Xiao Hai didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery at all. Xiao Hai secretly came to the side of the chain bridge, the bridge has been hoisted high, and there is a cliff under his feet, Xiao Hai saw a few bandits guarding the gate of Qingyun Village on the opposite side. And there are also two bandits on this side of the cliff watching the road on this side. It is impossible to jump over, it is more than ten zhang wide on both sides, and there is no place to borrow force in the middle. Xiao Hai sat in the grass on the cliff here, and he couldn't just go back. That's a shame.

But at this time, Xiaohai heard that the road was far away, and there were cars and horses going this way. Xiao Hai held his breath. From afar, I saw a group of horse-drawn carts carrying all kinds of sacks, like grain and vegetables. Xiaohai knew that the opportunity had come.

When the convoy reached the edge of the cliff, it said to the soldiers guarding it: "The main owner of the village has purchased all the things, please let them go." The guards checked the cars one by one, and then lit torches and shook them towards the cottage where the cars were located, as if using some code words.

The drawbridge began to fall slowly, and Xiao Hai took advantage of their inattention to get directly under the last carriage. Just a loud sound was heard, and the iron bridge fell completely. The carriage drove slowly. The convoy was too long, and it took a long time for Xiao Hai to feel that he had entered the village. After hearing this, the iron bridge behind him slowly rose again, Xiao Hai was still in trouble at this time, just came in, what should I do when I went out, if I was okay to say, it would be troublesome to take Zhou Shichen with me. Don't think that there must be a road before so many cars reach the mountain. Xiao Hai looked at the village from the bottom of the car, the people in the village were shaking, it was very lively, a team of people and horses were preparing sand and gravel buckets, and there were people patrolling back and forth, Xiao Hai knew that it was this group of thieves last night, and this was to prepare to guard the cottage.

After a few sticks of incense in the car village, it finally stopped. When people began to unload the truck, one of the thieves said, "We have prepared these reserves to be at least enough for our cottage to eat for a year or two, right?"

Another said, "No, these owners are not satisfied, but these are all the grain from the nearby town." ”

Xiao Hai took advantage of their inattention to get out of the car and hid directly in a dark place. Looking at the surrounding environment, this should be their granary. If they really want to attack the cottage, as long as they burn it, won't they break it down? Xiaohai firmly remembered the location of the granary. Turning around and leaving, there are many houses of the owner of the village, and it is not surprising to hear the people under the mountain say that there are at least 2,000 people in Qingyun Village.

Xiao Haifei reached the roof of the house, dodging the thieves patrolling the road, and ran to the brightest and highest courtyard in the distance. When he was about to get closer, Xiao Hai stopped, hid in the dark and saw a big house in front of him from a distance, it should be a meeting hall, dozens of steps are almost five steps and a sentry, ten steps and a post, Xiao Hai can't get close, and he sees that the hall is crowded. It should be an important person in Qingyunzhai who is still deliberating. Xiao Hai secretly retreated, and then found that this village was surprisingly big, there were many rooms, almost all of them were lit up, and the search efficiency was too low from room to room, and Zhou Shichen should be locked up in a secret place.

Xiao Hai thought to himself, forget it, just find someone to ask. Xiaohai secretly transferred to the roof of a main road. A patrol of five people happened to come over, and Xiaohai secretly followed. On the way, almost every tea effort has a team passing by. Xiao Hai followed this group of people, and finally after four or five groups of people, the pair began to approach with the last group of people, and went back to rest after changing shifts. Xiao Hai still secretly followed them to a small courtyard, and several people entered the courtyard. The yard is not big, only one room and one yard, Xiaohai secretly went to the roof, and several people had already entered the house.

Xiao Hai unloaded a piece of tiles, just enough to see the five people in the house, sitting together drinking tea and eating east, one of them said: "Old Punishment, who did you offend by our village master, and prepared food and patrolled." ”

A slightly older man opposite him said: "You have been drinking and drinking in the past two days, haven't you heard that the master of the four villages was arrested by the government? More than 400 brothers went out last night, and they came back in a hurry, and some of them did not come back. ”

The man's dark color was a little ugly and he said, "Do we really want to be enemies of the government? Then haven't we become bandits? This is a road of no return, I am still young, I can't go astray like this!"

A few thieves next to him echoed yes, yes, and the one surnamed Xing said: "Then what can we do, what can the five of us do, can the owner of the village talk, can we run out now? Who of the five of us was not a gangster on the street back then, it was the owner of the village who gave us a chance to live, and did some serious business for eating and drinking!, are you embarrassed to run?"

Another person said: "The lord of Dazhai is kind-hearted and has always been reasonable, how could he make such a decision, alas." ”

The old torturer said: "The owner of the big village is kind-hearted, but can he stand up to his two younger brothers and sisters making trouble? If your own brother is arrested, if you let it go, what will you do? Let's take one step at a time, anyway, we can't be sorry for this village, let's do our duty, if we really fight, we will be in danger, and it will not be so easy for the officers and men to fight." Let's do our best, and then save our lives, we have more than 2,000 people in the village, and we won't kill them all. ”

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door: "A few big brothers, the master of the village has something to bring to you!"
