Chapter 144 Acting by chance

The three of them landed safely on the shore and escaped by chance, but soon, they faced a new problem.

Without ships, how can you hurry on the road?

Mei Siniang and Feng Qianjin risked their lives to help lure the enemy by land, allowing them to walk on the water by accident so that they can quickly and safely arrive at Jianshui City. Who would have thought that the ship sank after only a few hours of walking! What should we do if there are still nearly two hundred miles away from Jianshui City?

Mu Feng and Jing Wushuang remained silent, and they understood the seriousness of the matter without saying much.

Whether it is the Immortal Sword Sect or the Blind Master Bi Luotian, they must have set up many blockades along the way. Without wooden boats, it is undoubtedly difficult to quickly arrive at Jianshui City by land, and even dreams.

"Young Master Mu, you... seem to have met an enemy?"

Old Man Li, who is a mature man, observes his expressions and does not need to ask too much, and understands that Mu Feng and Jing Wushuang are in a bad situation and are in trouble.

"Yes, we met a big enemy. A genius and I agreed to go to the life-and-death stage three years later to fight to the death, but a great master around him was cruel and ruthless. He couldn't wait to start the attack within three years and would not give up until he killed me!"

Mu Feng paused, looked at the down-and-out Old Man Li, took out some broken silver from his body, and then said, "Old Li, I'm sorry, I can't send you to Jianshui City. My enemy will definitely not let us go. Even you will be burdened with us when you are with us. There is not much broken silver, but it is also the wish of both of us. Just accept it and leave alone when you are on the road!"

"Okay, I really have nothing now, and I just need some money in urgent need. Mr. Mu, I'm not polite!"

Old Man Li was not polite and quickly took the silver. He changed his tone and continued sincerely: "However, Mr. Mu, you are kind to me. It would be too disgusting to say this at this time and let me leave by myself first. Old Man Li is not capable, but he has been in business for many years and hasn't seen anyone? No matter how powerful your enemy is, I don't believe that he can really block all the roads to Jianshui City. There is no way out, as long as we work together, there will definitely be a way!"

Unexpectedly, after witnessing the assassination of the Five Ghosts of Jianshui and Dao Duanliu, Old Man Li did not retreat and stayed unshirkable. He was as talkative as an ordinary businessman, but he had the sincerity that most businessmen did not have, and was grateful and rewarded, which was impressive!

It seems that it was by no means accidental that this old man could win the trust of so many businessmen when he was in the Maguan Inn.

On the one hand, it is because of his rich experience, and more importantly, it is because of his moral character. Perhaps because of this, he is too sincere and does not have the treacherous and cunning of ordinary businessmen, but he accomplishes nothing. He has been working hard outside for almost a lifetime, but he has not made much money. When he is old, he is still working hard for three meals a day, and is in a down-and-out way.

"Is this old man too stubborn or not understanding the real danger?

Looking at Old Man Li who was determined to stay, Mu Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He didn't want to say much about some things. This old man Li seemed to be grateful for his kindness, but he really was not a bad person, but the hearts of people are separated from his belly. He knew people's face but not his heart. It was better to keep some secrets in his heart. This was to prevent it, and it was also to be for the good of this old man. Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing!

"Brother Mufeng, why don't we wait here to see if there are any boats passing by. Or, just go up the mountain to cut some mangosteens and make a bamboo raft to float down the river?" After a while of silence, Jing Wushuang made a suggestion.

Although he was a land duck, he was naturally afraid of water, but he looked determined at the surging flood. The situation was uncontrollable. At this time, he could only give up.

After hearing what she said, Old Man Li quickly agreed, "Yes, making bamboo rafts directly downstream, compared with small wooden boats, the speed is not much slower. Mr. Mu, just decided. When I was young, I often ran on water, so I just asked me to hold on to the bamboo rafts! The technology is not very good, but it is absolutely fine to go downstream to Jianshui City!"

"no!"

Jing Wushuang and Old Man Li agreed, but this method was rejected by Mu Feng. "It is not difficult to make a simple bamboo raft, but it is impossible to reach Jianshui City safely. Since the killer ambush was sent so quickly, the enemy must have learned about our whereabouts. After we delayed for a while, we gave them time to arrange it calmly. If nothing unexpected happens, the river and ferry in front must be blocked at this time. Now, the waterway is no longer safe!"

Mu Feng sat cross-legged on the shore, calmly inferring the enemy's reactions and deployments.

After hearing what he said, the experienced old man Li nodded and understood that he was right. He couldn't walk on land and could not walk on water. Suddenly, Jing Wushuang, who was already anxious, became more and more worried, "Brother Mufeng, what should I do?"

"Take a land!"

Mu Feng took out the map prepared by Mei Siniang from his arms, spread it out quickly, pointed to a small dot on the map and said, "Look, this is Fengkou Gorge, which is probably where we are now. Abandon the boat from here and landed on the official road. It is about 38 miles to go forward, and the next ferry at Hetian Village. Walk twenty miles further forward is another ferry at Shigengwan. If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy must have set up heavy troops in Hetian Village and waited for the rabbit. We can take the land route, cross Hetian Village and go straight to Shigengwan, and then suddenly change to the water route from here!"

"good!"

Old Man Li and Jing Wushuang's eyes lit up and he agreed loudly. But soon, Jing Wushuang, who was thoughtful, thoughtful, thoughtful, thought the key to the problem, "The enemy has made every decision. Even if the heavy troops were transferred to the water route, there were still many secret sentries by land routes, and even sent people to investigate along the route. How to get from here to Shigengwan?"

"That's right, this is the key!" Mu Feng's face was solemn.

"Young Master Mu, the old man has a suggestion!"

Old Man Li looked at Mu Feng and continued slowly: "Hastness is not achieved. The faster the speed, the dusty it is, the easier it is to attract others' attention. During this period, we might as well walk slowly without taking a carriage, let alone riding a horse, and transfer to a common ox cart for the country people, and put on three country people to ride slowly."

Disguise?

Mu Feng and Jing Wushuang looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Jiang is still old, and Old Man Li is indeed rich in knowledge. But the next moment, when you look at me and I look at you, you can't help but frown. It's easy to put on makeup to become a country man, but it's not that easy to really disguise yourself without revealing your flaws!

"Don't worry, Mr. Mu, let me leave the makeup work to the old man."

Old Man Li observed his expression and quickly understood Mu Feng and Jing Wushuang's worries, and then said: "I have been traveling around the world and have been doing business for so many years, but I haven't made any money and learned nothing. But it's okay to disguise yourself and dress you two as countrymen!"

"good!"
