Chapter 136: The Valley of the Savages (Part I)

"Elder Fang, there is Fenghuapo in front. A disciple of Tianxianglou came from the southeast on a horse, and pointed at the maple forest in front of the convoy with a whip in his right hand. The master of the eight major factions and the people of Tianxianglou went all the way south from Luoyang, and after more than ten days of travel, they came to the Fenghua Slope in the west of the Savage Canyon, and Fang Lixing lifted the curtain on the window, poked his head out of the window, and looked at the deep forest maple leaves not far away rolling with the wind.

"Passing through Fenghua Slope is the Savage Valley, right? There are a lot of outlaws there, so you must be careful. Especially for the safety of the eldest lady, you should pay more attention to the maple forests on both sides of the mountain road. Fang Lixing glanced around, slowly moved his gaze to the mountains behind the maple forest, and stared at it for a long time.

"Yes, the disciples must protect the eldest lady. The Tianxianglou disciple in the red robe stood in place, waiting for Fang Lixing's carriage to pass by, and then rode towards the direction of Miss Murong's carriage behind the convoy.

More than ten carriages drove across the maple slope, more than a dozen dark green figures flashed in the depths of the maple forest, the leader of the lead looked at the vehicles under the hillside, the corners of his mouth flashed a sly evil smile, he waved his right hand to signal the people behind him to bow their heads and move forward slowly, not to alarm anything in the forest, and never let the convoy under the mountain be aware.

"Miss, come here here Fenghua Slope, in front of you is the Savage Canyon. The red-robed disciple came to the carriage in the middle of the convoy and said respectfully. He grabbed the reins with his right hand and turned his head to look around at the steep stone cliffs on both sides of Fenghua Slope.

Xiang Yi gently lifted the curtain on the window, revealing a thin slit, she glanced out, the convoy was slowly moving forward, she whispered to the disciple of Tianxiang Lou next to the carriage, "Miss already knows." Silence, you can retreat. ”

Li's hands clenched into fists, the corners of his eyes still stayed on the steep walls on both sides of Fenghua Slope, and he said cautiously, "Sister Xiangyi, Elder Fang ordered me to come to protect the eldest lady, and Lishan must follow the eldest lady's carriage without leaving an inch." Besides, the mountains here are steep, so I don't feel at ease. ”

Xiang Yi looked at Li's resolute expression and cautious eyes, she couldn't refuse, so she had to turn her head and whisper a few words into the carriage, and then looked at the most proud disciple of Fang Lixing next to the carriage with a smile, and said softly, "Okay, then you have to protect the safety of the young lady." ”

"Yes. Lishan nodded, turned his horse, and walked side by side with the carriage beside him.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from the carriage behind. Jian Yu, the head of the Hengshan faction, couldn't bear to laugh when he heard Fang Cai's conversation in the car, and Yu Qingyun, the head of the Qingcheng faction in the same car, glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I don't know how Mu Ning is doing in Jinling, and I don't know what progress they have made in tracking down Cao Haotian?

"Master Yu is too worried, this time the disciples of the eight major factions gathered in Jinling, even if the people below Jinyiwei want to attack them, Ning Wuji will also weigh the proportions. Jian Yu sat precariously with a straight face, and Fang Cai's smile immediately dissipated.

Yu Qingyun glanced out through the gap in the window, the sun was setting, and the reflection of the mountain wall covered the entire carriage. He sighed under his breath, "If they can stick together, it might not be a big deal." The old man is worried that the brocade guards are using tricks, and if they are broken by each one, I am afraid that these backs will be difficult to parry..."

Hearing Yu Qingyun's worries, Jian Yu's face was also stunned, and he couldn't help but worry about the disciples in his heart. The Hengshan faction is located on the border of southern Xinjiang, and although Lan Jing, as his eldest disciple, often goes out to practice, this is the first time he has gone to Jinling, and he has also heard a little about the methods of the pacification division. Now there is only hope that Ning Wuji can.... He coughed dryly, squeezing a little smile on his face. "Master Yu doesn't need to worry too much, although Ning Wuji has entered the official mansion, I believe that he has his own sense of proportion, and he will never dare...."

"It's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, if the Jinyi guards use any shady tricks in private, I'm afraid they will all suffer. Yu Qingyun lifted the curtain on the car window with his right hand, the corners of his eyes rose slightly, looking at the sky outside the window, the dark sky gradually covered the top of his head, his heart was a little depressed, and his face looked very solemn.

The sky slowly darkened, and the convoy was about to drive out of Fenghua Slope, Fang Lixing lifted the curtain in front of the carriage, looked at the dense forest in front of him, and turned his head to look at the maple forests on the left and right, and secretly said in his heart, "The two sides of the mountain forest are so quiet, I can't even hear the sound of birds and beasts, something is wrong." He hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for the two Tianxianglou disciples on his right to come forward.

"Elder, what do you command? The two disciples of Tianxianglou in red robes stepped forward quickly, came to Fang Lixing's carriage, and asked respectfully.

Fang Lixing glanced at the maple forests on the left and right sides, and said in a low voice, "You two go your separate ways to see if there is anything unusual in this dense forest, and if you find anything abnormal, report it immediately." ”

"Yes. The two Tianxianglou disciples quickly retreated, split up, and disappeared into the maple forests on both sides.

The cold moon hung on the mountainside behind the convoy, and there were bursts of sharp sounds in the maple forest, and the maple leaves rolled back and forth in the forest under the agitation of the cold wind, and the originally silent dense forest made many more sounds. The Ink-Clad Killer, who had been in ambush here for a day, slowly moved his body towards the path that Fenghua Slope had to pass through the Savage Canyon.

Suddenly, a man in a red robe appeared in front of them, the moonlight shining through the dense forest, and the red shadow flashed rapidly, shuttling through the depths of the dense forest, and his steps were far stronger than the wind. The Tianxianglou disciple went back and forth in the dense forest several times, his eyes were sharp, and through the faint moonlight, he swept towards the ground and behind the giant tree, and did not find anything unusual.

At this time, the leader of the Ink-clothed Killer let out a long sigh and whispered, "Thanks to this strong wind, if the sect leader's plan is ruined, we will all be worse off than dead." ”

"Holy Envoy, what should we do now?" a man in ink asked in a low voice, but he quickly lowered his voice and lowered his head under the maple leaves, only to see the man in the red robe appear not far away.

......

At the beginning of the night in Jinling, except for the soldiers patrolling the city, there were few people on the street. The two Jinyi guards galloped and galloped quickly in the direction of the Red Dust Inn on the west bank of Mochou Lake.

After the shock, the disciples of the eight major sects all gathered in Fei Ming's room, and Master Yuankong held a pair of calligraphy and paintings in both hands, carefully studying the mountains and characters above, his brows furrowed. "The poor monk was stupid and found nothing suspicious. He put the calligraphy and painting in his hand on the table, glanced at Fei Ming, and motioned for him to come forward to solve everyone's doubts.

Fei Ming came to the wooden table, glanced at the calligraphy and paintings on the table out of the corner of his eye, and did not look directly. He leaned back against the wooden table, looked at the night star in front of him, and asked softly, "Brother night star has found something suspicious?"

Yexing sat quietly on the wooden chair, clasped his hands together, kept his head down, and said silently in his mouth, ignoring Fei Ming, as if he had changed a person.

"Brother Nightstar!" shouted Yuankong loudly, bringing him back from his panic.

Night Star raised his head and looked at Fei Ming in front of him, and the Yuankong Master beside him, although the panic in his eyes faded a lot, but the whole person was still a little panicked, he hurriedly said, "No, I have to rush back to Heng Mountain, something big must have happened in the master's gate." Before he could finish speaking, he hurriedly got up and ran to the door.

Seeing this situation, Fei Ming hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the night star with his arms, he pressed the night star back to the wooden chair with the round sky who caught up, Fei Ming persuaded in a low voice, "Brother night star, don't worry too much, the masters of each faction will arrive in Jinling in a few days," he turned his head and looked at the rest of the people on the side, and raised his voice, hoping that through his loud voice, he could temporarily reduce the worry and uneasiness in everyone's hearts. "No matter how urgent it is, it's not too late to make a decision when the masters arrive. ”
