Chai Shaoning also knew Tie Fengxing's intentions, but he had already stabilized his mind at this time, gathered his energy to deal with the strong pressure transmitted by Tie Fengxing's gaze, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, Chai Shaoning, you are the successor of the dragon!"

"Okay, remember you!" Tie Fengxing nodded and said, "Let's meet in the future!" As soon as the words fell, the figure suddenly appeared in front of the officers and soldiers gathered in the rear and were waiting for the battle, and a sword was slashed, and a miserable cry sounded out to the sky.

Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles!

Like a fast sail that broke through the water, Tie Fengxing's body went away in an instant, leaving a place of disability.

Even if he was as strong as Ouyang Yu, the god of the East China Sea, he was shocked in his heart, knowing that he was still inferior to the other party, so he could only watch Tie Fengxing kill people with every move, break out of the encirclement without hindrance, and enter the mountains and forests outside the camp.

――――

In the middle of the moon, the eastern, southern, and western slopes of the Black Tiger Peak were bright, but on the north side of the peak where it cast a huge shadow, it was an upright cliff that was hundreds of zhang high and black and straight into the night sky, as if it was crossing the heavens and the earth.

Looking at the bare stone wall, Chai Shaoning, Geng Qiuwen, and Fang Xiaoyun felt a burst of despair in their hearts.

During the day, after paying the price of more than 1,000 casualties, Xie Qifeng's army completely cleared out the countless thieves hiding in the dense forest on the hillside where the dogtooth road was located, and cleared the knife nets, mixing ropes, poisonous crossbows, traps and other settings in the forest, laying the foundation for the next attack on Black Tiger Peak.

Unfortunately, although they succeeded in seizing the high ground on both sides of the canyon at that time, they failed to eliminate the Luo Huaping thieves trapped in the valley. Under the response of Lu Xiufeng and Fengjian who suddenly killed all the way, Luo Huaping led the people to successfully break through and escape back to Black Tiger Village.

This was originally expected by everyone, and if there was no careful deployment, Luo Huaping would not dare to risk his life. Lu Xiufeng, Fengjian and Tie Fengxing appeared at the same time, indicating that these two went to invite Tie Fengxing to help him some time ago.

Now the hope of breaking through the cottage is pinned on whether Chai Shaoning and the others can find a way to infiltrate the inner village from the rear of the Black Tiger Peak, but now it seems that this attempt is difficult to achieve. Not to mention that it is not clear how many defenders Luo Huaping has laid on the top of the cliff in Houzhai, the three of them are helpless because of the unattainable and hard smooth cliff in front of them, which cannot even be rooted by grass and trees.

"Let's take a closer look at the cliff. "Chai Shaoning doesn't give up.

Geng Qiuwen looked at Fang Xiaoyun, he actually didn't want his junior sister to come together, but after Fang Xiaoyun's dangerous experience during the day, he had a huge fear in his heart, for fear that his senior brother would encounter Tie Fengxing, so he couldn't rest assured and insisted on going along.

Aside from the tension in their hearts, the scenery behind Black Tiger Peak is actually quite good, and the lush and lush forests provide excellent natural cover for the three of them. Chai Shaoning, Geng Qiuwen, and Fang Xiaoyun crept around, borrowing trees to cover the shade, and approached the dark and oppressive giant peak of the Black Tiger Peak.

There was a rustle of grass being trampled on, and the three of them hurried behind the tree.

Realizing that he might have encountered a thief's night guard on the mountain, Chai Shaoning was not surprised.

There is a secret sentinel patrol, which means that there must be a road on the mountain leading to the bottom of the cliff, otherwise the thieves will not be able to come down, and there is no need to come down to inspect a huge ravine with no road.

"Big brother, do you think there is really a path up and down the peak behind this cliff?" To the surprise of Chai Shaoning and the others, a voice in the night sentry actually asked in a low voice the doubts in the hearts of the three Chai Shaoning brothers.

"Ninety percent of the time. Another voice replied softly: "The top of the cliff in the inner village has been guarded by Luo Huaping's daughter Luo Qingling herself, and you are not allowed to approach unless you are an absolute henchman, if there is no secret passage, what are they guarding?" Luo Huaping has always been cautious and forbearing, how could he not arrange a way back for himself?"

Luo Huaping and Liu Ding insisted on being brothers and sisters on the surface, but in fact, they were very strict against him. The third voice grumbled: "Otherwise, our Merry Four Envoys will not become barren mountains and explorations." ”

It turned out to be Xiao Xiaoyan's merry four envoys, and Chai Shaoning and the three of them were taken aback.

Xiao Xiaoyan's illegitimate son died at the hands of the heavenly thieves, and it was not strange that he wanted to take revenge, but in the depths of this mountain isolated from the outside world, the transmission of information was very closed, how could Xiao Xiaoyan get the news so quickly and send someone over? Moreover, listening to the conversation of these people, it seemed that even the deployment situation at the top of the cliff of the Black Tiger Village had been clearly understood, and this was information that even Chai Shaoning and the others did not know.

Unless there is a possibility, Xiao Xiaoyan has already laid out this layout in advance, and has deliberately bribed or sent people to break into the interior of the Black Tiger Village.

If this is the case, the situation is complicated, why is Xiao Xiaoyan so interested in a gang of bandits?

Although in the dark, Chai Shaoning and the three of them still glanced at each other, and the forces here were more than just bandits and officers and soldiers. Whether Xiao Xiaoyan's insertion is good or bad is still unknown, but if it weren't for the discovery of the existence of the Merry Four Envoys by mistake, once Xiao Xiaoyan launched an attack while everyone and the bandits were fighting each other, it would inevitably cause unexpectedly huge casualties to everyone. Of course, Xiao Xiaoyan's attack may also be launched against the Heavenly Thieves. He is like a fisherman on the side of a sandpiper and a clam rivalry, potentially posing a mortal threat to both sides in battle.

"Fourth brother doesn't have to complain. The low voice of conversation in front of him continued, and the voice of the eldest brother Yuan Zhiwei persuaded Huo Liangdong to say: "Now Sun Zhong and Sun Renshou are in the Black Tiger Village. In this way, we can move freely without worrying about being bumped into by them. ”

"I didn't expect Luo Huaping to be Sun Zhong's son-in-law!" The fourth voice also spoke: "Gongzi used Lu Yushan's name to send a threatening letter, causing a confusing situation, originally wanted Liu Dingjian to fish in troubled waters and lead the group to Gongzi's command, but he was used by Luo Huaping and gave the other party a team of men and horses in vain. ”

"The second brother's words are too exalted by Luo Huaping. Miao Jianglong, the third brother who was the first to ask, sounded again: "I didn't expect Zheng Dapeng's gang to attract a large number of officers and soldiers, and by mistake disrupted Luo Huaping's plan to unify Taihang. ”

"This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise for us!" "The eldest brother Yuan Zhiwei said with emotion: "Otherwise, we will rashly launch an attack without knowing that Sun Zhong and others are hiding in the cottage, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious." ”

"Big brother is right. The second brother Yin Chengjun answered: "In this group gathering, we were absolutely sure to kill Luo Huaping with the help of the power of the two Venerables of the Holy Land and the Holy Mountain. But the arrival of Tie Fengxing has put all of us in danger and dare not act rashly. ”

"Why don't we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let Luo Huaping and the officers and soldiers kill each other?" the fourth brother, Huo Liangdong, complained again, he was not interested in this mountain exploration operation at all.

"Because the purpose of ambushing the Taihang group has not been achieved, it is easy to give up, and there is a burden that the son entrusted us before leaving. Yuan Zhiwei's voice was very resolute.

"Besides, even if the officers and soldiers break through the cottage, they are afraid that they will not be able to kill Lu Xiufeng and the others. Since we know that Childe's son-killing enemy is here, we should help Childe retrieve Lu Xiufeng's head and avenge the little son. Yin Chengjun echoed.

"I don't know what happened to Gongzi in the Daimyo's Mansion?" Miao Jianglong's voice sighed: "If Gongzi is here, plus the two Venerables of the Holy Land and the Holy Mountain, we will have the strength to fight with Tie Fengxing." ”

"Strange, how can there be a path here?" The Merry Four Envoys had slowly approached the side of the cliff as they spoke, and Huo Liangdong had obviously found something, pointing to the stone wall in front of him and snorting in surprise.

The stone wall that constitutes the giant cliff on the north side of the Black Tiger Peak is extremely hard, and most of the place has no grass, although it is backed by the moonlight, it is still white under the shadow, and only when you get closer, you can see the level changes on the stone wall. In the darkness, barely distinguishable from the white, a rugged mountain path was carved out, a ladder that curved like a ladder to the top of the cliff that had no end in sight.

Since there is a path leading to the cliff, how could Luo Huaping not send someone to guard it? The four envoys looked at each other, but after hesitating for a while, they finally chose to separate two people to go up the cliff to explore, and the other two stayed on the ground to respond.

Chai Shaoning and the three of them hid in the shadows, watching Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong cautiously walk up the stone wall path from a distance, but they did not get close.

Since the Merry Four Envoys also wanted to find a shortcut to go up the mountain from behind the Black Tiger Peak, the three of them just wanted to see what results each other could find?

In fact, no matter whether they can find the secret path up the mountain tonight, they didn't come in vain, and the news they got shocked Chai Shaoning and them.

This time, the bandit leaders of the six villages and eighteen mountains of Taihang Mountain gathered in the Black Tiger Village, which was secretly facilitated by Xiao Xiaoyan, and was ready to let the two ghosts of the Holy Land and the Holy Mountain assist Liu Dingjian to kill Luo Huaping, annex the Black Tiger Village, and unify the Taihang Mountain.

King Shuntian recruited troops and horses to absorb thieves such as people in the martial arts and Luo Huaping, and his intention was already Sima Zhao's heart and passers-by knew it. But why does Xiao Xiaoyan, a figure in the rivers and lakes, covet this bandit force? Who is he accumulating strength for? The three of them faintly felt in their hearts that a terrible crisis that was great enough to change the color of the heavens and the earth was quietly descending again on this peaceful land that had just experienced the great war of the previous dynasty and gradually stabilized.

Although the location of Chai Shaoning and the three of them was far away from the bottom of the cliff, and Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong who were sneaking to the foot of the cliff could no longer be seen, but when the two walked on the cliff stone road, the two black dots were clearly against the white stone wall, and they moved up little by little and silently.

Such an obvious scene, if there is a dark sentry of the Black Tiger Village in the dense forest under the cliff, it will definitely be found!

The move of the Merry Four Envoys also seemed to contain the purpose of testing the other party, but as time went by little by little, the two people on the cliff had climbed to a height of nearly forty zhang, but they still did not cause the slightest reaction.

Chai Shaoning and the three of them were gradually disappointed in their hearts.

The height of forty zhang is only a foot of a giant for this high cliff, but for the few people watching below, it has reached a considerable height. If there is a dark sentry of the Black Tiger Village under the cliff, it is impossible not to be aware of it. However, no matter whether it was Yuan Zhiwei and Yin Chengjun who stayed under the cliff by the four envoys, or Chai Shaoning who was lying in the forest in the distance, they did not feel any signs of the existence of thieves.
