Chapter 9 Mountains

The wealthy businessman was also fooled, he knew about the Lotus Bodyguard Agency, he didn't know how powerful it was, but he was very clear about one thing, that is, if the Lotus Bodyguard Agency could destroy him, it would be easy. The rich businessman sat there thinking about it, and his head was all messed up.

At this time, Brother Zhao's words sounded: "Brother, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Since the two nephews returned safely, they also lost money, and the matter involved is not from the Misty Sect, so there is probably no other major issue. But , brother, remember to stop this matter here, and don’t bother those people, just in case someone from Misty Sect finds out..."

This sentence was like the Gospel. Hearing it in the ears of the rich businessman, he immediately woke up and said, "I know Third Brother. I wish I could give them another five thousand taels of silver bills now. Come on, send the two young masters back." The yard, watch it carefully, and let them not come out for a month, not three months."

"No, don't lock yourself in the yard yet." Third brother Zhao stopped the rich businessman's order. "Don't give him two wound medicines, just like that, his face is swollen, it's better to put a few more slaps on it, so that they can't walk normally, and let him go to a restaurant and other places to eat and drink tomorrow, and then let people spread rumors , just say that the two of you flirted with the village girl, and you gave me a hard lesson."

The rich businessman was overjoyed when he heard this, and he raised his thumb and said, "Third Brother, that's a good idea. Come here, give these two bastards a big ten-board."

Poor two short fat guys, didn't understand why it was a good idea to be beaten, so when they shouted for mercy, they scolded this cheap uncle in their hearts.

Brother Zhao San finished these things, turned around and said to Zhao Quansheng: "Quansheng, you handled this matter very well, and 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 taught by the Hall Master in your daily life? Quan Sheng is willing to work hard for the Hall Master."

The rich businessman also said: "Quansheng, thanks to you today, I have to thank you very much, come here, bring me a silver note of one thousand taels."

Zhao Quansheng said: "You don't have to be polite, you should protect the young master when you go out."

Hall Master Zhao said: "Take it, you deserve it. Without you, this matter would be unstoppable."

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

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

After Zhao Quansheng agreed, he left the rich businessman immediately, and after a while, he appeared in a small remote courtyard and walked into a hut. After a while, the window of the hut opened, and a carrier pigeon flew out of it. Hovered in the air, recognized the direction, and flew towards a certain place.

The pigeon flew very fast, but it didn't arrive at a very hidden village until it was almost dark. The pigeon circled in the air and landed 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 around the walls. The format of these houses is the same. There are no tall buildings, gray walls and gray roofs. . The house where the dove landed was a room in the middle of the yard. After the dove landed, it was no longer possible to tell which house it was.

The pigeon landed on the window sill of this hut, screaming "cuckoo", and the man who was pretending to go out came out of the back room, and walked quickly to the window sill. When the pigeon saw this man, it flew to the man's arm with a "cuckoo" Walking up and down, the man took out a small tube from the pigeon's feet, stroked the pigeon's back, took out a handful of food from his pocket, and sprinkled it on the table next to the window sill. The pigeon saw it and spread its wings. Flying over, happily pecking and eating. The man took the small tube and quickly left the room.

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

A hoarse and dignified voice came from inside: "Come in."

The man pushed open the door carefully and walked into the room. The window in the room was open, but the oil lamp was not lit. A thin figure stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking out. After the man saluted, he said respectfully, "Hall Master Situ, there is news from Hall Master Liu."

The figure said "Hey" and said, "For the New Year's Eve, what news will be conveyed by carrier pigeons? Quickly hold the lights."

It wasn't until the man lit the oil lamp that Hall Master Situ turned around. The man presented the small tube, Master Situ took it over, took out the note inside, put it on the oil lamp for a while, his brows wrinkled on his thin face, and he muttered: "...Why did they come to this remote place? "Then, put the note on the lamp flame and burn it. Glancing at the man, he said, "Go ahead."

The man saluted and quietly retreated, leaving Hall Master Situ sitting alone amidst the swaying flames.

Hallmaster 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. There was no sign of the helper.

Just when Hallmaster Situ was guessing the movements of the gang leader Situ Ping, his cousin, who had always been so strong and would not give in to a woman, was riding a horse at this time, following behind a young man in brocade clothes with lowered eyebrows, and whispered to her. The young man said: "Mr. Ma, this is the highest mountain in Lu Town, called Shiren Peak. It got its name because there is a stone on the mountain that looks like a person. We can enter the mountain in as fast as we can. However, I don't know where the young master is going, so I can't tell you the exact time."

Mr. Ma turned his head, shook his whip, and said in a gentle voice: "Master Situ, don't be so cautious. Master Wang recommended you as a guide, so I don't treat you as an outsider. I will definitely reward you after completing this matter. Where exactly, I will tell you when I enter the mountain."

Situ Ping looked at Mr. Ma's gentle face and handsome eyebrows, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything. She knew that this Mr. Ma was a person of great background. It might be useful for her to show off her feminine posture in front of Wang Hong of Wu Jianzhuang before. It was the first time for him to meet Mr. Ma, and the journey was not tepid. How dare I show what a woman does? Just be smart and be careful.

In this way, the two drove forward in the twilight.

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

Seeing that the mountain was approaching, Wen Wenhai slowly tightened the reins and slowed down the horse, and turned to his junior sister and said, "Junior sister, we are already in the mountain, I think we should eat something first, take a rest, and recharge our spirits." Go into the mountains again, so 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 with them, and ate. After they had finished eating and drank some water, the junior sister couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Senior brother, you said this task is so important, why didn't the master come here in person, no matter how bad it is, you should let the senior brother 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 said in a low voice: "Junior Sister, the master has his own ideas for making such arrangements. Before departure, he told me in advance, in order not to attract the attention of other sects. Those who come to the task are all second-generation disciples of each faction, and they will not show off their mountains or show their water. Moreover, there will be an elder who will preside over it for us. The specifics will be known when the time comes, and we will just listen to the elder's arrangement. Anyway, this is a fat job If it can be completed satisfactorily without accident, the master will reward you heavily when you go back."

The younger sister said: "I thought this place, which I hadn't heard of, was just a remote place with treacherous mountains and treacherous waters. Along the way, there was actually a taste of beautiful mountains and clear waters. Although the mountain has not yet been entered, it still feels majestic. I don't know. What it looks like inside, it’s a pity, you won’t be able to appreciate anything at night, otherwise it would be a worthwhile trip.”

Wen Wenhai patted his forehead, "Junior sister actually has such an idea, but senior brother can't compare. Could this be the reason why my martial arts are not as fast as yours?"

The junior sister didn't answer, and couldn't see clearly the expression under the veil. Wen Wenhai said again: "Junior Sister, it's getting late, you can take off the veil, there are no people here."

The junior sister still didn't answer.

Wen Wenhai took it for granted, and said to himself: "Okay, it seems that the time is not too late, let's go, we should be able to arrive at the scheduled time."

It is said that after Situ, the head of the Evil Tiger Gang, accompanied Young Master Ma in Jinyi into the mountain, he galloped along the road for a while, and when he saw that he was in front of a mountain, Young Master Ma stopped his horse, dodged to the ground, and Situ Ping also got off his horse. Mr. Ma said: "Master Situ, do you know where the Five-claw Peak is?"

Situ Ping said: "Of course I know. Five Claw Peaks are five small peaks next to Shiren Peak. They are named because they are shaped like the bent fingers of a monkey. There is no way to go in that area, and horses cannot pass. We can only go through these peaks." Climb through the mountains."

After hearing this, Mr. Ma smiled slightly and let go of the horse's rein. The horse trotted all the way to find hay. Situ Ping also patted his own horse and put the rein on the horse. The horse also followed Mr. Ma's horse, and it seemed that he was used to it.

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

Situ Ping was not polite either, he cupped his hands, raised his legs and performed lightness kung fu to climb up the mountain.

Situ Ping raised his dantian qi, and rushed out of the time for two sticks of incense in one breath. Gradually, he felt a little lack of confidence, and he was weak in succession. At this time, she heard the gentle voice of Mr. Ma: "Master Situ, it's still early. We can arrive in the middle of the night, why don't we take a few steps for a while to refresh our energy, what do you think?"

Situ Ping listened to the voice in a calm manner, and he didn't appear to be panting at all. He didn't need to turn his head to know the appearance of Mr. Ma strolling behind him. The young master takes pity on you." He stopped, landed on the path on the mountain, and walked slowly. Young Master Ma caught up with her, walked side by side with her, and asked as he walked, "Master Situ, have you ever been to this Five-claw Peak?"

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

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

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

Mr. Ma smiled and said, "If I've been here, how can there be Lord Lao Situ leading the way?"

Situ Ping said awkwardly: "I'm surprised at the next moment, my lord. Speaking of this five-claw peak, the scenery is not much different from Shiren Peak, and the mountain spring water is indeed much sweeter than other peaks. The strange thing is the peak on the ring finger. There is a wild jujube forest in the middle of the mountain, and the area is scary. Few people go to that place, and few mountain people who live on the mountain near Shiren Peak can go there, but according to the mountain people who have been there, there are food in the forest. A beast of man, someone once went into it to pick jujubes, but never came out again, so few people have the courage to go there, and wild jujubes are not a precious thing, and as time goes by, ordinary people no longer come. The year before last I brought The brothers in the gang came once, and let a wolf dog in to find the way, but it didn’t come back, so we didn’t dare to go deep, and went back after exploring the outside.”

Situ Ping didn't shy away from Mr. Ma's matters in the gang, he talked about it carefully, and Mr. Ma was very satisfied when he heard it, and said: "It's good that Master Situ knows the place, and I will trouble you to take us there later. .”

Situ Ping was taken aback, "You guys? Mr. Ma, is there anyone else?"

Mr. Ma smiled and said: "Of course there are others, but now we will go to the first peak of Wuclaw Peak and wait for them there. Master Situ, if we have almost rested, let's go on the road now."

Situ Ping said: "Okay, young master, please follow me."
