Chapter 244 The Wind Is Rustling and the Water Is Cold

These words were spoken decisively, with a hint of the wind rustling and the water cold.

Zhang Xiaohua was also moved after hearing this, her little chest puffed up, and she said: "Okay, second brother, now you know the meaning of going out of your way to protect your friends. Presumably, if Mr. Li Jinfeng and Mr. Li were in our situation, he would also sacrifice his life." And come out!"

"Him?" Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "He is just a weak scholar, with some skills in writing and writing. In such things, even if you stand out, you will be dropped first. It is better not to stand out."

After saying that, he added: "Besides, if you weren't so skilled, I feel that even if you go to Xicui Mountain in vain, your life might not be in danger, so I wouldn't let you go."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Second brother, what you said just now was very righteous, why are you so angry now? You should know that it doesn't matter whether you are beautiful or not, but when you speak, you must be high-sounding and beautiful. Otherwise, being in front of others and behind others can only be a matter of doing things, and being a deacon is not an option."

"What kind of truth is this? It sounds very pragmatic."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "The book Mr. Li gave me is very clear. Second brother, you should read the book carefully later. It's terrible to be ignorant."

Zhang Xiaohu said: "It's better to stop talking nonsense. It's all scholars who are ruining the country, isn't it? They've wasted time."

Zhang Xiaohua dismounted his horse and shouted, "I'd better leave these words to Mr. Li, I just want to learn from him."

The bay-red horse was in pain, neighed, and galloped away with its hooves flying.

Zhang Xiaohu shook his head, looked at his brother's back with a smile, and also chased after him.

Xicui Mountain is some distance away from Lu Town. In the northwest direction of Lu Town, it is a road between Guozhuang and Baligou. Zhang Xiaohua Road also passes by the place where Zhang Xiaolong encountered bandits when he got married. I can't help but sigh in my heart. In the past two years, Over time, I have grown from a helpless person to a martial artist who has the ability to rescue others from the tiger's den. Moreover, I can be regarded as seeking revenge on Xicui Mountain for the calamity that day. This cycle of cause and effect, fate plays a trick on people , it’s really amazing.

Just for the moment when she passed that place, Zhang Xiaohua had countless thoughts in her mind, and she had a little understanding of the causes and conditions of the world and the changes in nature. These exercises for the state of mind and the perception of cultivation were a big improvement. Zhang Xiaohua's state of mind and The gap in internal strength cultivation has been widened again.

The two of them discussed in low voices along the way, straightened things out a little, assigned tasks, and considered the details in detail. It was not until dusk was approaching that they finally considered it, and looked at the distant Xicui Mountain again. .

Zhang Xiaohu was cautious and decided to get off his horse and find someone to ask questions before continuing forward.

After watching the mountain run to death, the two of them came to the foot of the mountain when night fell.

This is a relatively desolate mountain, not a mountain peak as imagined. When viewed from the foot of the mountain, there is a slightly wider mountain road leading into the mountain. It must be the long path taken by bandits. If it were daytime, Zhang Xiaohua and the two would naturally not dare to The one who stepped forward blatantly saw that it was already dark and the surroundings could not be seen clearly. Only the gray mountain road could barely be seen clearly. The two of them dismounted first, and Zhang Xiaohu tore off some fabric from his clothes and pulled them off. All four hooves of the two horses were wrapped, and then they rode up the mountain road again.

Sure enough, the sound of the horses' hooves almost disappeared, and the two horses walked quietly in the mountains under the night.

The mountain wind was bleak, and the chirping of insects continued, but there was no sign of anyone. After half a meal, the two of them climbed up the first mountain on horseback. The mountain was not very high, but the sight was endless. , the view is wide, and you can see the lights on a mountain diagonally ahead in the distance.

Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and said: "Second brother, look at the lights on that peak, it must be the main peak of Xicui Mountain."

Zhang Xiaohu said: "It should be right there. However, the closer you are to the bandits, the less careless you must be. Maybe there are hidden sentries of bandits on the road. If they are discovered, the rescue operation tonight will be very difficult." It’s going to be bad.”

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said: "Everything depends on the second brother's arrangement.

"

Zhang Xiaohu looked around, pointed to a forest in front of him and said, "Let's go to the woods first. Leave the bay-red horses here and let them rest. When we rescue the Li family, we will still need their help."

Zhang Xiaohua heard this and shouted: "Oh, second brother, we were leaving in a hurry, but we forgot that there are only two horses, how can we carry five people?"

Zhang Xiaohu slapped his head and said, "Yeah, I forgot about it too. What, what should I do?"

The two thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until we save people. I don't know how many people we can save."

The two tied the maroon horse into the woods and walked carefully to the mountain road. Zhang Xiaohua said: "Second brother, as you said, there must be bandits' hidden sentries or traps on this mountain road. We should walk from the side." Right."

Zhang Xiaohu pointed to the lush pine trees next to him and said: "We can only pass through this forest. However, I don't know whether this forest is safe or whether it can lead to the foot of Xicui Mountain?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Second brother, don't worry about this. As long as there are woods, I can get there."

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Well, your Qing Gong should be fine, and it shouldn't alarm others. However, I can't. I haven't mastered Qing Gong yet."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "It doesn't matter, second brother, I will just help you."

Zhang Xiaohu looked at the lights in the distance and said, "That's all. But don't grab the back of my neck, just hold my arm."

Zhang Xiaohua said in confusion: "Second brother, wouldn't it be better for me to carry you?"

"Tch," Zhang Xiaohu sneered and said, "In that case, I will lose all my face. If it's not appropriate, you can just grab my arm."

Zhang Xiaohu now weighs only a hundred or so kilograms. With Zhang Xiaohua's arm strength, it can really be ignored. Why does Zhang Xiaohua care about carrying him like this?

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaohu looked at the terrain and explained the walking route to Zhang Xiaohua in detail. Then he let Zhang Xiaohua support his arm and jumped up to the treetops with Zhang Xiaohua's Qinggong.

The moon had not yet risen at this time. Zhang Xiaohua was holding her second brother in her arms, and like a scurry, she flew among the treetops in the forest according to the route that Zhang Xiaohu had already planned.

This mountain road is the only road leading to Xicui Mountain. Where can there be no traps on the road, and where can there be no open or hidden sentries in the forest? I don’t know if it’s because Xicui Mountain has such a bad reputation that few people break into the mountain so blatantly, which makes the patrolling bandits lose their vigilance, or if Zhang Xiaohua is smart and has avoided the sentry post early. In short, Zhang Xiaohua Xiaohua was not discovered by the sentry station along the way. On the contrary, there were several groups of bandits who were either drinking, gambling, or sleeping. Zhang Xiaohua saw them all from a distance and hid from them.

With Zhang Xiaohua's current level of Qi cultivation, he could still cope with the consumption of Qi caused by the floating technique. When he reached the top of the mountain and jumped down from the tree, he didn't use up much Qi.

Zhang Xiaohua disagreed, but Zhang Xiaohu was shocked. When he was in the Lotus Escort Agency, he had gone through the escort with Fourth Master Wen, and had seen Fourth Master Wen's Qing Gong. Now looking at Zhang Xiaohua's Qing Gong, although it is still worse than Fourth Master Wen It took a lot, but Zhang Xiaohua has only been learning for a long time. Moreover, the strength of Zhang Xiaohua's hands cannot be underestimated. Fourth Master Wen cannot compare with him in this aspect. After all, Zhang Xiaohua is performing Qing Kung Fu with a living person like Zhang Xiaohu.

I jumped down from the treetop and was very close to the village. From a distance, I could see the village gate open and the lights brightly lit. Several bandits were guarding the door with weapons. There were also several people above the village gate, holding bows and arrows. The weapons, the patrols on the left and right, completely resemble a military management.

Zhang Xiaohua said softly: "Second brother, the guards here are so tight. It doesn't look like a mob at all. It seems that the plan we discussed on the road needs to be improved."

On the way, Zhang Xiaohu felt that the bandits in Xicui Mountain were just a mob, and the management must be chaotic. For example, the village gate should be closed tightly, and there might not be anyone guarding it. Although he didn't know Qinggong, he let Zhang Xiaohua take him. Can't you just go in?

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Who would have thought that this famous bandit would actually live up to his name, and the guards were really strict. If Zhang Xiaohu still followed Zhang Xiaohua in at this time, Zhang Xiaohua would inevitably be hurt.

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, Xiaohua, you go in first and take a look, I will wait for you outside. You take a look at the situation first and don't take action. It's best to find a bandit when no one is prepared. I will torture you for a while to find out the traces of the Li family, and then come back, and we will make plans after discussing it."

Zhang Xiaohua listened and memorized it carefully. Then she used Qing Gong and carefully followed the shadows of the trees until she came to the village.

Although he was close, he was still a long way away. Even if he used Qinggong, he would be discovered by the bandits, let alone that he would have to jump onto the wall of the village patrolled by bandits.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the orderly patrol of the bandits and couldn't help but become intrigued. He bent down and picked up a small stone from the ground. Using his internal strength, he threw it in the other direction of the village gate, and heard a "bang" sound. The sound was particularly noticeable in the quiet night.

The bandit guarding the entrance to the village was startled and immediately looked in that direction. The bandit on the wall also shouted, "Who is it?" and they all ran in that direction.

Seeing that the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain was successful, Zhang Xiaohua got bolder and ran under the wall, looked around, jumped up to the top of the wall, paused for a moment, then immediately leaned forward and slid towards the inside of the wall. Although his There was a bandit beside him who was looking in another direction, but Zhang Xiaohua's body was as light as a swallow and did not alarm him at all. When he felt something strange and looked back, Zhang Xiaohua had already slipped into the shadow inside the wall.

The bandit turned around and didn't see any movement, so he looked left and right, and then started walking back and forth on the wall. He didn't know that just because he was distracted for a moment, he let people slip into the stronghold.
