Chapter 17 Night Detective, Planning
Dasheng Peak is located in the north of Bauhinia Village 30 miles away, the east, west and north are all the cliffs of the hundred zhang that stand like cutting, only there is a rugged mountain road on the steep slope of the south side that can be passed, and the terrain is the most dangerous. The top of the mountain seems to have been cut out horizontally by a huge knife and axe, forming a flat field with a radius of dozens of acres.
That "flying orangutan" Yuan Lie has a lot of means, although he has only occupied this Great Holy Peak for a few days, he has already urged his subordinates to build the prototype of a cottage. They collected enough rocks and timber in the mountains, and built a walled wall at the most dangerous point of the mountain road on the southern slope, and only sent a dozen people to guard it every day, and it was difficult to break through even hundreds of idle officers and soldiers.
When the boundless night shrouded the reckless mountains and forests, Yu Tianlai came to the cliff on the east side of the Great Sage Peak alone.
He first chose a hidden rock crevice to hide his figure, quietly meditated and pranayama, and carried his internal force. Imperceptibly, the crescent moon is oblique, and the time is already in the second half of the night.
Yu Tianlai came out of the crack in the rock, first held his breath, listened for a moment, and made sure that there was no guarded bandit on the top of the cliff, and then jumped up and down. At the moment when his body was about to fall, his arms and legs were spread out and he pounced forward, and the whole person was like a huge gecko firmly attached to the cliff.
Over the years, Yu Tianlai has not forgotten to use the extreme sports of his previous life to exercise his physique, and even tried to integrate martial arts into it. Dasheng Peak is the most steep among the nearby mountains, in the past, Yu Tianlai often came to practice rock climbing on the cliff wall here, and knew every protrusion and every rock crevice on the cliff wall on three sides. Therefore, even though it was dark night, Yu Tianlai still climbed up quickly with his hands and feet, and did not make a sound.
Yu Tianlai's fingers rested on the edge of the top of the cliff, and he froze and listened for a moment to make sure that there was no one nearby. With the force of his fingertips, he drove his body to roll over and fly up like a light bird.
A little to the left of his summit stands a boulder the size of a two-story pavilion. Yu Tianlai is familiar with the terrain of the Great Sage Peak, and he took the existence of this huge rock into account when choosing the climbing position. I saw that his figure flashed like a ghost, and he had already reached the back of the boulder, and then went up to the top of the boulder, leaning down and looking around, the peak of the Great Sage Peak was flat like a square in the faint moonlight.
Because the time to occupy the Great Sage Peak was still short, the bandits had not yet had time to build houses, but only set up dozens of tents to shelter in. On the west side of the mountaintop, there is a simple fence made of wood, in which more than 20 inferior horses are encircled. In the open space between the tent and the horse pen, five bandits sat around a bonfire, presumably the ones in charge of keeping watch for the night.
Yu Tianlai observed for a moment, and saw that the five thieves were only sitting around and chatting, and none of them got up to inspect and perform their duties at night, so they quietly came down from the boulder, made a large circle along the edge of the cliff, and silently sneaked to the outside of a tent. He listened intently for a while, judging the number of people from the snoring coming from the tent, and combined with the number of tents, he estimated that the total number of the bandits should be around three hundred. He also noticed that in the center of these tents, there were two other small tents, which should be the residences of Yuan Lie and Yuan Jie, the two thieves.
Thinking of the hellish scene on earth that he had seen in Baishui Village before, Yu Tianlai's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. But he already had a preliminary plan in mind, and naturally he would not be surprised by the rush at this moment. The purpose of his trip was only to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and now that the task is basically completed, all he has to do is to retreat silently.
Yu Tianlai also wanted to take a look at the walled wall built by the bandits, so he chose to go down the mountain from the south. He walked quietly along the rugged mountain road, and soon saw the high wall that crossed the passage up and down the mountain, supported by high cliffs on both sides.
At this moment, a row of torches was burning on the wall, and more than ten thieves were patrolling back and forth with knives and guns, thinking that they should have been strictly ordered by the "flying orangutan" Yuan Lie, so they guarded this important place so diligently.
Yu Tianlai secretly observed in the distance for a while, but did not alarm the other party, bypassed the wall and went down from the cliff on one side, all the way back to Bauhinia Village.
At this time, the sky had already dawned, and as soon as he approached Bauhinia Village, Yu Tianlai saw a person at the intersection looking forward to it, but it was not Yim Wing Chun.
"Senior brother, you're finally back!" Yan Wing Chun had already seen Yu Tianlai's figure, and he hurried forward with a cheer.
"This girl......" Yu Tianlai's heart swelled with warmth, grabbed her cold plain hands, and asked with a slight disgust, "Have you been waiting for me here all night?"
In the past two years, Yu Tianlai has only followed the master's instructions and has not crossed the last step of Lei Chi, but the rest of the unspeakable things have really done a lot with Yan Wing Chun, so Yan Wing Chun naturally let him hold his hands, and giggled: "I'm not a weak lady, how can I easily suffer from the wind and cold? Hugh mentions these gossips, senior brother should quickly tell me what you have gained from this trip, but you already have a plan to deal with those bandits?"
Yu Tianlai shook his head and said, "It's better to go home and see my uncle and talk together." ”
The two returned to the town hand in hand, and came to Yan's house to meet Yan Er and the others.
Yan Yongqiu had already prepared breakfast for everyone, and Yu Tianlai talked about his trip while eating.
Yan Er groaned: "Since there are three hundred bandits, with only you and Wing Chun, no matter how high their martial arts are, they are outnumbered, not to mention that Yuan Lie and Yuan Jie brothers are not ordinary people. The matter ...... It's a bit hard. ”
At this moment, Yu Tianlai was already confident, and he smiled: "If it is only Wing Chun and the little nephew, it will naturally be difficult to succeed." But the bandits are endangering everyone, and there is no reason why only the two of us should contribute? I also asked my uncle to come forward and invite the patriarchs of the three surnames of Zhou Zhou, Wang, and Zheng to come, and the little nephew wanted to discuss some things with them. ”
Yan Er frowned and said, "Do you want to unite these three families and use the strength of the entire Bauhinia Village to deal with the bandits?" In the past few years, you have taught the descendants of the town martial arts, and you have also established some prestige during this time, but if you want to use this to move the three families to help you, I am afraid that it is still far from enough." After all, this matter is very important, and if you are not careful, the whole town will be destroyed. With the patriarchs of the three families, they don't dare to take this risk. ”
Yu Tianlai smiled calmly: "As the head of the clan, what they value most is nothing more than the word 'benefit', they don't dare to take risks, it's just that the interests they face are not enough to shake their hearts." As long as the uncle invites them, the little nephew has his own explanation, so that they can see the 'benefits' and 'harms' of sufficient weight. Then don't worry that they won't tie themselves to the chariot of the little nephew!"
