Chapter 9 Mountains

The wealthy businessman was also confused. He knew about the Lotus Escort Agency, but he didn't know how powerful it was. But there was one thing he knew very clearly, that is, it would be easy for the Lotus Escort Agency to wipe out his entire family. The rich businessman sat there thinking about it, his mind was all confused.

At this time, Brother Zhao's words rang out: "Brother, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Since the two nephews have returned safely and lost money, and the people involved are not from the Miao Miao Sect, there is probably no other major event. But , Brother, remember to stop this matter right here, and never go to trouble those people, in case someone from the Piaomiao sect finds out..."

This sentence was like gospel. When the wealthy businessman heard this, he immediately woke up and said: "I know Third Brother, I am eager to give them another five thousand taels of silver notes now. Come on, please send the two young masters back." Please take good care of the yard and tell them not to come out for a month or even three months."

"No, don't lock yourself in the yard first." Brother Zhao stopped the wealthy businessman's order. "Don't give them two wounds. Just like this, their faces are swollen. It's better to put a few big boards on them so that they can't walk normally. Tomorrow, let them go to restaurants and other places to eat and drink. You let people spread the news again. , just say that the two of them molested the village girl, and you gave them a severe lesson."

The wealthy businessman was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his thumb and said, "Third brother, what a great idea. Come on, please slap these two beasts on the top ten boards."

Poor two short fat guys, they didn't understand why getting beaten was a good idea, so they had no choice but to scold this cheap third uncle in their hearts while shouting for mercy.

After Zhao Sange finished these things, he turned to Zhao Quansheng and said: "Quansheng, you handled this matter very well, I am extremely satisfied. I will give you a good word in front of the gang leader later."

When Zhao Quansheng heard this, he was overjoyed: "Isn't this all what you teach me on a daily basis, Hall Master? Quan Sheng is willing to serve the Hall Master at all times."

The wealthy businessman also said: "Quan Sheng, thanks to you today, I have to thank you very much. Come here, bring me a thousand taels of silver notes."

Zhao Quansheng said: "You're welcome, I should have protected the young master when I went out."

Hall Master Zhao said: "Take it, you deserve it. Without you, this matter would not be able to be solved even with ten thousand taels."

Only then did Zhao Quansheng politely take the thin banknotes and put them in his arms.

At this time, Hall Leader Zhao said again: "Quan Sheng, hurry up and inform the gang leader of the news that someone from the Piaomiao Sect has appeared in Lu Town. I don't know why they came to Lu Town at this time?"

After Zhao Quansheng agreed, he immediately said goodbye to the wealthy businessman and left. After a while, he appeared in a remote courtyard and walked into a hut. After a while, the window of the hut opened and a homing pigeon flew out. It hovered in the air for a while, figured out the direction, and spread its wings to fly towards a certain place.

The pigeon flew very fast, but it was almost dark before it arrived in front of a very secluded village. The pigeon hovered in the air for a while and then fell straight to the east of the village. This is a large manor, and the surrounding walls are not very high. There are many houses scattered throughout the walls. The format of these houses is consistent. There are no buildings that are too tall, with gray walls and gray roofs. . The house where the pigeon landed was a room in the middle of the yard. After the pigeon landed, it was no longer clear which house it was.

The pigeon landed on the window sill of this small house and screamed "coo". A man dressed up walked out of the back room and quickly came to the window sill. When the pigeon saw the man, it flew "coo" to the man's arm. Walking back and forth, the man took out a small tube from the pigeon's foot, then rubbed the pigeon's back with his hand, took out a handful of food from his arms, and sprinkled it on the table next to the window sill. The pigeon saw it and spread its wings. It flew over and started pecking happily. The man took the small tube and quickly left the house.

The man walked out of the house, walked through several corridors, and came to a slightly larger room in the center of the manor. He knocked on the door carefully.

A hoarse, majestic voice came from inside: "Come in."

The man carefully opened the door and walked into the house. The window in the house was open, the oil lamp was not lit, and a thin figure stood in front of the window, hands behind his back, looking outside. After saluting, the man said respectfully: "Palace Master Situ, there is news from Hall Master Liu."

The figure said "Hey" and said: "We are celebrating the Chinese New Year. What news will be sent by carrier pigeon? Hurry up and hold the lantern."

After the man lit the oil lamp, Hall Master Situ turned around. The man presented the small tube, and Hall Master Situ took it, took out the note inside, and held it against the oil lamp. His brows furrowed on his thin face and he muttered: "...Why did they come to this remote place? "Then, he put the note on the lamp flame and burned it. He glanced at the man and said, "Go ahead."

The man bowed and quietly retreated, leaving Hall Master Situ sitting alone in the swaying flames of the lamp.

Hall Leader Situ knew that he had to let his gang leader know the news, but he didn't know where to inform the gang leader, because as early as last night, the gang leader told him that he had important things to do today. When he went to the gang leader in the morning, The gang leader was nowhere to be found.

Just when Hall Master Situ was guessing about the movements of gang leader Situ Ping, his cousin, who had always been strong and womanly, was riding a horse, following a young man in brocade clothes with a low eyebrow, and whispered to The young man said: "Mr. Ma, this is the highest mountain in our town of Lu, called Shiren Peak. It got its name because there is a stone like a human on the mountain. We can enter the mountain in half a stick of incense if we hurry up. However, I don’t know where the young master is going, so I can’t tell you the exact time.”

Mr. Ma turned around, shook his whip, and said in a warm voice: "Master Situ, don't be so formal. Master Wang recommended you to come here as a guide, so I didn't treat you as an outsider. I will definitely reward you after completing this matter." I’ll tell you exactly where we’re going after we get into the mountains.”

Situ Ping looked at Mr. Ma's gentle jade face and handsome eyebrows, lowered his head and said he didn't dare. She knew that Mr. Ma was a well-established person, and it might have been useful to show off her feminine behavior in front of Wang Hong in Wujianzhuang. This was also the first time she met Mr. Ma, and the whole journey was tepid. How dare I act like a woman? Just keep your spirits up and be cautious.

In this way, the two of them rode forward in the dusk.

On the other side of the mountain, Wen Wenhai and his junior sister rushed towards the mountain at the same speed.

Seeing that the mountain peak was approaching, Wen Wenhai slowly tightened the reins and slowed down the horse. He turned back to his junior sister and said, "Junior sister, we are almost at the mountain. I think we should eat something first, take a rest, and refresh ourselves." Let’s go into the mountains again so that we can deal with the situation for a while, maybe there will be a tough battle.”

The junior sister nodded in agreement, and the two dismounted to rest, took out the dry food they had brought with them, and started eating. After they finished eating and drank some water, the junior sister couldn't help but asked with some worry: "Senior brother, you said this mission is so important, why doesn't the master come in person? Even if it doesn't work, you should ask the head senior brother to come over. Why? Send the two of us here? I really don’t know what the master is thinking."

Wen Wenhai took another sip of water, looked around, and whispered: "Junior sister, the master has his own ideas for this arrangement. Before setting off, he told me in advance that in order not to attract the attention of other sects, this time The tasks assigned to us are all second-generation disciples of various sects, and they are not showy. Moreover, there will be an elder who will preside over it for us. We will know the details when the time comes. We just have to follow the elder's arrangements. Anyway, this is a fat job. If nothing happens, if it is successfully completed, the master will give you a generous reward when you return."

The junior sister said: "I thought that this place I had never heard of was just a remote place with dangerous mountains and rivers. However, along the way, there was a sense of beautiful mountains and clear waters. Although I haven't entered this mountain yet, it feels quite majestic. I don't know. What's it like inside? It's a pity that you can't appreciate anything at night, otherwise it would be a worthwhile trip."

Wen Wenhai patted his forehead and said, "Junior sister actually has such an idea. Senior brother can't compare with me. Is this why my martial arts progress is not as fast as yours?"

The junior sister didn't answer, and she couldn't clearly see her expression under the veil. Wen Wenhai added: "Junior sister, it's getting late, so just take off your veil. There are not many people here."

Junior sister still didn't answer.

Wen Wenhai took it for granted and said to himself: "Okay, it seems that the time is not far behind. Let's set off. We should be able to arrive at the scheduled time."

It is said that after Situ, the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang, accompanied Mr. Ma in Jin Yi into the mountain, he galloped along the road for a while. He saw him arriving in front of a mountain. Mr. Ma stopped his horse and ducked to the ground, and Situ Ping also dismounted. Mr. Ma said: "Leader Situ, do you know where the Five Claws Peak is?"

Situ Ping said: "Of course I know that the Five Claw Peaks are the five small peaks next to the Stone Man Peak. They are named because they are shaped like the bent fingers of a monkey. There is no road to go there, and horses cannot go there. We can only start from these Climb over the mountain."

After hearing this, Mr. Ma smiled slightly and loosened the reins of the horse. The horse was trotting away to find hay. Situ Ping also patted his horse and put the reins on the horse. The horse also followed Mr. Ma's horse and seemed to be used to it.

Mr. Ma said: "Then Lao Situ will lead the way."

Situ Ping was not polite, he cupped his hands, raised his legs and used Qinggong to climb up the mountain.

Situ Ping raised her Dantian Qi and ran for two sticks of incense in one breath. Gradually she felt a little lack of confidence and lack of strength. At this time, she heard Mr. Ma's gentle voice in her ear: "Situ Gang Leader, it's still early now. We can just arrive at midnight, what do you think if we take a few steps for a while to relax our energy?"

Situ Ping listened to the voice calmly and without any signs of panting. He didn't need to turn around to know that Mr. Ma was strolling behind him. He secretly sighed in his heart that the famous disciple really lived up to his reputation, and said: "Thank you very much." Young Master, I have pity." He stopped and walked slowly down the path on the mountain. Mr. Ma caught up from behind and walked side by side with her. As he walked, he asked, "Leader Situ, have you ever been to this Five Claw Peak?"

Situ Ping said, "I've been here before. In the summer, the climate in the mountains is cool. We often come here to escape the heat. The spring in Wuzhaofeng is the best. We sometimes spend the night there."

Mr. Ma nodded and then asked: "Is there anything strange about Five Claw Peak?"

Situ Ping said in surprise: "Master, have you been here before? How do you know there is something strange about Five Claws Peak?"

Mr. Ma smiled and said, "If I had been here, why would I have Lao Situ to lead the way?"

Situ Ping said sarcastically: "I was surprised for the next moment, sir. Don't blame me. Speaking of Five Claws Peak, the scenery is not much different from that of Shiren Peak. The mountain spring water is indeed much sweeter than other peaks. The strange place is the peak on the ring finger. There is a wild jujube forest halfway up the mountain. It is so large that few people go there, and few of the mountain people who live on the mountain near Shiren Peak can go there. However, according to the mountain people who have been there, there are food in the forest. It is a human beast. Someone once went inside to pick wild jujubes and never came out again, so few people had the courage to go there. Besides, wild jujubes are not a precious thing, so over time no more ordinary people came. The year before last, I took Brothers from the gang came here once, and in order to explore the way, they sent a wolf dog in, but it didn't come back, so we didn't dare to go deep, and went back after exploring the outside."

Situ Ping did not shy away from Mr. Ma about the affairs within the gang. He talked about it in a casual manner. Mr. Ma was very satisfied and said, "It would be great if Gang Leader Situ knew that place. I will trouble you to take us there later." .”

Situ Ping was stunned, "You? Mr. Ma, are there anyone else?"

Mr. Ma smiled and said, "Of course there are other people, but now let's go to the first peak of Five Claws Peak and wait for them there. Gang Leader Situ, if we're done resting, let's hit the road now."

Situ Ping said: "Okay, sir, please come with me."
