Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Wu Zheng stood outside the gate of Yun Langzhong's house and hesitated for a moment, in view of his current physical condition, he could only sigh in his heart that he couldn't help, shook his head and turned around and raised his feet to leave.

Suddenly, Wu Zheng, who had just walked a few steps, heard the sound of opening the door from Yun Langzhong's house, followed by a chaotic footsteps and a burst of whispering.

Out of curiosity, Wu Zheng hurriedly hid in the shadow of a street corner, wanting to see what the Yun family was going to do.

After waiting for a while, the door of the Yun family was opened with a creak.

Soon, several figures came out in droves.

In the night light, two young men in their twenties could be faintly seen walking in front, each carrying a large package. They were followed by two middle-aged men in their thirties and forties. All four carried a wooden stick the thickness of an arm. In the end, Yun Langzhong and his wife followed out with both hands holding the petite figure in the middle.

Regardless of asking, it can be known that the petite figure in it must be Yun Lan.

Could they not have fled overnight?

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head secretly. I thought to myself, since the Sword Gate had painstakingly come to force his relatives, how could he not be secretly vigilant?

"Lan'er. ”

"Mother. ”

Yun Lan threw herself into the arms of her slightly rickety mother, and immediately there was a sound of sobbing.

"Lan'er, be careful when you go out, don't worry about your father. ”

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't cry anymore.

On the contrary, Yun Langzhong was quite calm, reached out and touched the top of his daughter's head, and instructed in a hoarse voice:

"It's a long way to go to the mountain, Lan'er try not to show her face, and let her brother do it if she has something. There will be nothing wrong at home, they are just interested in Lan'er. ”

After speaking, he instructed his four sons a few more words, and seeing that the mother and daughter were still reluctant, Yun Langzhong reached out and pulled Yun Lan out of his wife's arms, and handed her over to the eldest son who was standing in front.

"Yun Feng is the eldest brother, the eldest brother is like a father, Lan'er will be handed over to you. ”

"Don't worry, it's not too early, we still have to hurry. ”

Seeing Yun Lan break free of his eldest brother's hand, he fell to his knees and kowtowed to Yun Langzhong and his wife a few times, then he stood up, was held by Yun Feng, and walked towards the west of the village step by step.

This is a bit unexpected by Wu Zheng, the west of the village is full of mountains, and at the end of the village is the Falling Soul Cliff, even if you are worried that the road at the east end of the village may be discovered by the people who secretly left a guard in the Sword Gate, you should also change to the north of the village, or go to the south of the village.

Wu Zheng didn't care about washing clothes, so after the group of five people walked away, the cat's waist quietly followed along the dark shadow next to the street. He didn't believe that the Sword Sect would be so careless in doing things, and he didn't guard against the Yun family taking the opportunity to escape.

An hour later, the group had already come to the pine forest below the Falling Soul Cliff, and what Wu Zheng didn't expect again was that it was safe and sound.

Will things really be that simple and smooth?

Wu Zheng, who was hiding in the distance, was paying attention to the movements around him, and watching how the four brothers standing under the Soul Falling Cliff would move next.

I saw that one of the two people carrying the package on his back untied the package on his back, opened it and took out a ball of rope from inside, and the occasional clanging sound reminded Wu Zheng that there should be something like a metal hook tied to the rope.

Looking at the meaning of the four people, it seems that they have to rely on the rope in their hands to climb the Falling Soul Cliff. Wu Zheng thought to himself, if the Sword Gate really neglected here, it would indeed be a clever plan. It's just a hundred-foot high Soul Cliff, is it really that easy to climb? Is there any secret passage in it that can't be done?

Just thinking of this, Wu Zheng's worst fears still happened.

The first thing I heard was a burst of laughter from the canopy of a tall pine tree.

"How's that Boss, I guessed right, right?"

"Hmph, count you kid ruthless, win away ten taels of gold from Lao Tzu at once. ”

How many bosses are there in the Sword Gate?

Listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that there is no due respect for the boss in the tone.

How did Wu Zheng know that although the Sword Sect had changed its appearance into a martial arts sect on the surface, it was still a bandit in its bones. So every time I go out to do something, I always nominate a leader, so everyone calls the leader "boss". As a result, almost everyone in the Sword Sect has the possibility of becoming the boss.

Hearing the sound of laughter coming from the canopy, the four brothers of the Yun family suddenly stopped what they were doing. After listening to the eldest brother Yun Feng whispering something, he bent down and picked up Yun Lan on the ground and turned around and ran.

However, after a few steps, a shrill whistle came from the canopy of the tree where the laughter had been heard, and suddenly in the surrounding dark mountains, one whistle after another.

Wu Zheng listened carefully and found that the whistle was coming from all directions of the village's east, west, north and south. From this, it is not difficult to judge that the master of the Sword Gate is determined to marry Yun Lan.

Looking at Yun Feng, who did not stop at all and carried Yun Lan on his back, Wu Zheng, who did not think about whether to take the risk in his heart, still quietly lay in place and did not move.

After a quick analysis in his mind, if he was the master of the Sword Sect and arranged to secretly monitor the Yun family's disciples near the mountain village, he should take the Soul Falling Cliff in front of him as the least. After all, it's not easy to escape from here, so just arrange for two people to keep watch here. In other words, the two people who have always hid in the canopy and did not show up should be the weakest disciples.

And when Yun Feng carried his sister along the direction of the Falling Soul Cliff and ran towards the depths of the pine forest in the north, among the other three brothers, two of them were left to stop in place with wooden sticks, as if they were guarding against the Sword Sect disciples in the canopy just now, and the other one did not untie the package on his back, but ran in the opposite direction to the eldest brother Yun Feng, that is, the south side of the Falling Soul Cliff.

Wu Zheng, who didn't understand it, couldn't figure out for a while whether the four brothers had discussed it in advance or whether it was an impromptu idea. Obviously, there were whistles coming from both the north and south directions, so why did Yun Feng have to carry his sister behind his back and throw himself into the net? and the one who turned around and headed south was more like being frightened.

The two of them came down from the canopy, and Wu Zheng didn't pay attention to it anymore, and the cat waist followed behind the Yunfeng brothers and sisters.

Soon, Yun Feng carried Yun Lan on his back and ran to the northern end of the Fallen Soul Cliff, in a narrow, thorny ravine overgrown with thorns. When Wu Zheng quietly touched over, he saw Yun Feng coming out of the ravine with Yun Lan on his back, and he was running in the direction of the village.

"What's going on? Don't you want to run?"

When Wu Zheng carefully looked at the black shadow on Yun Feng's back, everything was clear.

At this time, where is Yun Feng's back is his sister Yun Lan, who is clearly a straw man wearing a girl's clothes.

It seems that the Yun family had long expected that the Sword Gate would not let Yun Lan go easily, so they had quietly prepared during the day. Make a straw man and put it here in advance, once the whereabouts of the Sword Gate are discovered by the Sword Gate at night, use the golden cicada to break out of the shell, and use the grass man to cover the people of the Sword Gate, so that Yun Lan can stay in the wilderness and wait for the opportunity to escape.

From this, Wu Zheng also figured out the intention of Brother Yun Lan, who fled south with his luggage, nothing more than to let the Sword Gate see that he was frightened, so he ran wildly. When the Sword Gate thought that Yun Lan had returned to the village and relaxed in his heart, he could return and lead Yun Lan to escape.

As for the four brothers' gesture just now that they were going to rely on ropes to climb up the Falling Soul Cliff, it was completely a trick. Even if it is not discovered by the Sword Gate, where can the hundred-foot-high Fallen Soul Cliff be climbed with manpower?

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng began to admire the Yun family's thoughtfulness.
