Entering the Jianghu with a Sword Chapter 72: Inadvertently Leaking Secrets
"Then Shen Yulou fell from the cliff, but it didn't kill him, so he was lucky."
In the meeting hall, everyone was seated, Hu Bao was still chattering about Shen Yulou, since Chi Qianren wanted to use Hutou Village as a chess piece to intercept Wan Jun.
Naturally, he patiently comforted Hu Bao and said: "Don't worry, Master Hu, my men, Brother Ma and Yandian Guo, have followed your people. With their abilities, it won't take long for them to track down Shen Yulou's whereabouts. "
"Of course I believe in Brother Chi, but Shen Yulou's martial arts... our Huzhai is really unstoppable." Hu Bao's mind is very simple. As long as he doesn't see Shen Yulou's body for a day, , I have trouble sleeping and eating in the stronghold, and I have to beware of Shen Yulou attacking me at any time.
Of course, Chi Qianren knew what Hu Bao was thinking, and said to Hu Bao: "Help people to the end, since the leader of Hu Village has opened the golden mouth...Chi Wei, Chi Xiu."
"Here." Two men in black clothes stood up and clasped their fists.
"These two brothers are the ones with the best hearing and eyesight among brothers like me. If Master Hu is worried, what about my two brothers following Master Hu before we find Shen Yulou?" Chi Qianren asked. Hu Bao said.
"No one knows my heart better than Brother Chi, so I am very grateful."
Hu Bao had obtained the title of Chi, and the two brothers Chi Xiu were guarding him. Of course, he would no longer worry about the trouble caused by Shen Yulou coming to him. He immediately stood up and saluted Chi Qianren with cupped fists.
How did the leader of the Hutou Village know that the Chi Qianren and the Chi Xiu 'protecting' him were not just to protect him, the leader of the village.
The green forest land in Lingzhou is very suitable for Chi Qianren's wishes. Whether it is to re-establish the Momen or to use it as a place to defend against enemies in the future, Xiaolou Peak and Xique Peak are already within the reach of Chi Qianren. things.
"Since we are in the same boat, I would also like to ask Master Hu for a small favor." Chi Qianren said with a smile.
At this time, Shen Yulou, who was hiding in the secret passage, tried his best to suppress his breathing, for fear that his breathing would be heard by the people in black in the conference hall.
When he heard Hu Bao's voice, Shen Yulou almost couldn't suppress the hatred in his heart. He really wanted to rush out of the secret passage on the spot and die with Hu Bao, but thinking about his injuries, there were many black-clothed people in the conference hall. A master who acts impulsively is afraid that blood will be splattered on the spot before he even gets close.
Suppressing the impulse in his heart, Shen Yulou listened carefully to what the leader in black in the meeting hall continued to say.
"In a few days, it will be the Yuanri Festival. We were entrusted by others to come to Lingzhou. We want to kill someone."
"The person that Brother Chi wants to kill is the person that I, Hu, want to kill. No matter how much you say, if you want a life in Lingzhou, Hu can still do it." Hu Bao patted his chest, as if a human life was on his mind. In his eyes, he really used it as capital to repay a favor with a thousand swords.
Shen Yulou overheard this in a secret passage and was a little confused. He originally thought that these men in black were just experts invited by Hu Bao to monopolize the Eighteen Villages of the Three Peaks of Lingzhou. Unexpectedly, this group of people had another purpose. These black-clothed masters all came out, just for the life of one person. Who is this person? Shen Yulou pricked up his ears and listened to the black-clothed leader continue to speak.
"Okay, Master Hu is quick to speak, and Chi is not hiding anything. I would like to ask Master Hu to help me detect all the passers-by from the direction of Yanbei City on the various roads leading from Lingzhou to Liangzhou." ."
"Whatever happened to me, I'll leave it to Mr. Hu. Brother Chi can rest assured to stay at Xiaoloufeng and wait for my good news." Hu Bao didn't care who came from Yanbei City. He only thought about how he could bring this group of people to Yanbei City. The master was made happy, and became his backer to dominate the green forests of Lingzhou, and he agreed without thinking.
However, Shen Yulou in the secret passage was a little frightened. He didn't know why these black-clothed masters wanted to help Hutou Village enter Xiaolou Peak. With their skills, they could be called the main force of any sect they went to. How could they? Take a look at this small green forest in Lingzhou.
Hearing the man in black mention Yanbei City, Shen Yulou thought hard, and it seemed that there was no famous family in Yanbei City that deserved so many masters.
Everyone in Qiyun knows that Yanbei City is the forefront of Qiyun's northern border against the Jin State. These men in black are all superb in martial arts. Could it be that these people are targeting military generals?
"It's best that the Hu Village Master can take my two brothers back to Hutou Village. In three days, I will go to visit the Hu Village Master."
Leader Hu had two masters accompanying him and had the confidence to return to Hutou Village. He immediately bowed to Chi Qianren and others with clasped fists and saluted. Chi Wei and Chi Xiu saw the look in Chi Qianren's eyes and understood that their senior brother As expected, the two of them followed the leader of Hu Village.
"Senior Brother Qianren, we don't need Hu Bao anymore, why don't we take the opportunity..." A person next to him saw Chi Wei, and the two of them followed Hu Bao away, stretched out their thumbs, and gestured at the neck, pointing towards Chi Qianren. asked.
Chi Qianren smiled and said: "Junior brother, we were originally going to meet the man named Liu in Lingzhou City, but we saw that here in Lingzhou, with high mountains and dense forests, it is a good place for us to settle down. What about the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages? We want to exterminate them, but it’s just like squeezing the ants to death with our bare hands.”
After a pause in his tone, Chi Qianren narrowed his eyes and said with a flash of light: "It's just that Hu Bao is still useful to us now. If we want to settle down in Lingzhou, we not only need money, but also the man named Liu. That token in our hand. With it, we can command those people in Chi Tianya."
"But if you want the token, you have to take Wanjun's head. I brought you all here just to snatch the token from the man named Liu. I didn't expect that he brought a master with him this time. If Hu Bao hadn't happened to break in, it would have been a lose-lose situation for us and the two people named Liu to start a fight, so I took advantage of Hu Bao's sudden break-in to ease the situation."
These people are all the confidants of Shachiqianren. Whether they rebel from the Momen controlled by Shachitianya or go to commit suicide, these people have followed him for many years. For them, Shachiqianren has no reservations and puts his heart into his heart. The plan was revealed.
These words completely shocked Shen Yulou, who was hiding in the secret passage under the conference hall. He was originally thinking about who this group of people were going to attack, but he didn't expect that the leading man in black would say "Wanjun". name.
Although Shen Yulou is from the green forest, after all, he once came from a serious background, so he has naturally heard of Wan Jun's name.
This group of people actually wanted to attack General Qi Yunbei. Judging from his tone, he was just following orders. The person behind this, Shen Yulou, was sweating. He didn't dare to think about who was going to attack Wan. Jun started.
Shen Yulou originally wanted to find an opportunity to defect to Donglaifeng. Based on his understanding of the Song family, the couple valued love and righteousness and would not harm him.
But after listening to what these people said, if they go to Donglai Peak, it will only lead to disaster to the Hanshan Village of the Song family. It is better to find an opportunity to leave Xiaolou Peak, and after getting away, try to inform Wan Jun about this. .
After making up his mind, Shen Yulou pricked up his ears and waited quietly for the group of men in black robes to leave before he could escape. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be trapped and die in the secret passage.
——
At the bottom of the Xiaoloufeng cliff, Yandianguo and Yinghouti searched for a long time with the men from Hutou Village, and took photos with Zhang Daer, Liu Laosi and others who were searching for the road.
Zhang and Liu learned the order of their village master from Yantaiguo and Yinggubibi, so they joined forces with Yandianguo and Yinggubibi.
The hooked nose said coldly to the pipe pot: "Junior Brother Chixin, these hundreds of people cannot search carefully every plant and tree on Xiaolou Peak, but Shen Yulou has been seriously injured by us. There should be no clues at all."
"It's a pity that my tracking skills are just scratching the surface. If I could learn all the Shadow Guard's tracking skills, I don't think that person would be able to escape." The pottery pot took a puff of dry smoke.
Just as the two were talking, the sound of noisy footsteps came from the forest.
When everyone saw this, they were alert with their weapons. As the footsteps approached, Zhang and Liu said to Yandianguo: "Heroes, listening to the noises made by that group of people, the leader should be our brother from Hutou Village. It seems like he is ...It’s Wu Laoqi.”
"Damn it, I clearly heard something moving in this direction. You guys are of no use to me for free. These thousand taels of gold are right in front of you, and they just flew away in vain."
Sure enough, Wu Laoqi emerged from the forest with a curse, followed by the gangsters from Hutou Village who were searching for traces of Shen Yulou along the path with him.
Seeing Zhang and Liu, Wu Laoqi knew that what he had just said was clearly heard by them. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Zhang, fourth brother Liu, Lao Wu, I don't have the ability. I was searching on the alley just now, and I obviously heard it." There was movement in the grass, but I and my men chased me all the way, but I didn't even see anyone. How about you, have you found it?"
Zhang Daer cursed: "Damn it, don't mention it. Liu Laosi and I have been looking for him for half the night. Shen Yulou was so seriously injured, I really don't know where he hid."
Liu Si sighed: "This Shen Yulou is really a ruthless person. For an ordinary person, if he fell from that cliff, let alone run for his life, even he would be smashed into meat cakes. I didn't expect that he could still run away."
The conversation between the three people fell into the ears of Yandianguo, who was smoking a dry cigarette. As if he remembered something, Yandianguo said to Wu Laoqi: "You just said that you heard something moving on the path near the cliff, but you didn't see it after chasing me all the way." See the figure of Shen Yulou?"
"That's right, not only me, but also my brothers testified that we chased him all the way here."
"Do you remember where you heard the noise?"
"certainly."
"take me."
After the conversation, Wu Laoqi led the people back into the forest with their pipes, pots, and hooked noses, heading towards the place where the noise had just been made.
——
Blood soaked his clothes drop by drop. Just when Shen Yulou felt that his eyelids were heavy and it was difficult to support him, he finally heard the sound of the group of men in black clothes leaving above the secret passage.
After listening carefully for a long time, Shen Yulou was convinced that there was no movement. Shen Yulou carefully opened a small gap at the entrance of the secret passage. Looking through the gap, he saw that there was no one in the meeting hall.
Taking a long breath, Shen Yulou quickly got out of the secret passage. He made sure that the group of people had left the meeting hall. He lowered the sound of footsteps. Shen Yulou moved his heavy body very carefully to the front of the meeting hall. He looked around for a long time. The group of people should be there. I went to Yulin Village and Hou Village to rest and recuperate.
Carefully pushing open the door of the meeting hall, Shen Yulou relied on his familiarity with Yuling Village and walked in the dark all the way to the gate of the village. As he stepped into the forest, Shen Yulou looked back and took a deep look at his own. Xiao Loufeng immediately disappeared into the dark night.
