After not moving for many days, the stratus clouds over Putian County became addicted to lethargy, causing Bai Rixiao behind him to escape from his cage.
The long-lost morning light returned to the embrace of the earth, and I stretched my body peacefully near the foothills of Jiulian Mountain.
Under the morning light, on the originally fertile fields, now on the scorched earth, black dots were like streams, silently flowing with their backs towards Jiulian Mountain.
Just like ants moving, they need to first explore some places with suitable climate, rich resources, and hard-to-find natural enemies, and then carefully evaluate the pros and cons to determine a more livable place, and finally migrate with their nests.
The villagers in the Zhikeliao stables in Southern Shaolin have been detained for at least two days and one night, starved for two days and one night, and tortured mentally and physically for two days and one night. Some of them are frightened, and some are numb or crazy.
, no matter how strong the will is and how healthy the body is, they are already extremely weak. This is a group of people who are like ants and cannot withstand any wind and rain during the transfer.
Although Meng Chaoge and his party were only five people, when they decided to return to Zhikeliao to rescue the villagers, the five of them had to make complete preparations for the safe transfer of the villagers.
First there must be an evacuation route.
This route must be as flat and easy to travel as possible, and must not be within the surveillance range of the Red Sect.
The route taken by Meng Chaoge, Shi Zhonghuo, Ji Zhe, and Dong Qing when going up and down the mountain and to Zhikeliao is naturally the best choice.
When hiking up and down Jiulian Mountain, there is no better way than climbing the stone steps.
As for whether the Red Sect has replenished its manpower to deploy eyeliners after the five members of Tingyuge fought with Guitang's strong men and retreated from the mountain, it needs to be confirmed again.
If there is, it must be removed again and ensure that the other party's reaction time is enough for the villagers to complete the evacuation.
Next, obstacles must be removed.
The guards who used the villagers as bait were swept away without anyone noticing.
He also had to sneakily clear out any ambush near the evacuation route.
While completing these two points, it is also necessary to ensure that the villagers can basically complete the evacuation before the opponent reacts.
The last step is to ensure food security and stabilize the mood of the villagers before and during the evacuation.
Meng Chaoge and others once gave the villagers a glimmer of hope.
Once hope is shattered, the villagers will completely lose their will to survive, even if they do not starve to death.
Therefore, the five people in Tingyu Pavilion had no choice in terms of evacuation time. It was best to evacuate that night, and only that night.
Fortunately, if you can successfully blend into the night and become a wandering spirit, you have great hope of escaping safely.
It is about to rain, and the ant nest is threatened by floods. The time for exploration, evaluation, and migration is limited. No matter how well the preparations are completed, it may be scattered and destroyed due to early rain during migration.
But for the five members of Meng Chaoge, the preparation process was already full of difficulties.
After all, they did not know the situation of the imperial court outside Putian County, and to complete those preparations, each person had to be divided into at least three people.
Fortunately, with the efforts of the five people who stayed up all night, and after killing nearly two hundred enemies, they finally succeeded in taking the villagers in Zhike Residence out of the stables and down to Jiulian Mountain.
What is commendable is that no matter how bad their individual circumstances are, these seventy-two villagers can help each other and cooperate with the arrangements of the five Meng Chaoge extremely quietly and steadily.
Seeing the morning light falling on the ground, the bodies, hands, and eyes of the villagers who were about to leave Jiulian Mountain for three miles gradually began to light up.
Meng Chaoge stretched out a slightly trembling hand, brushed away the long wet and smelly hair that stuck to her face, and looked back at the Jiulian Mountain that was gradually receding.
Although his bloodshot eyes regained some of their vitality, they still did not change their complacency.
He squinted his eyes and looked around, alert for any signs of trouble.
Da da da……
There seemed to be the sound of horse hooves coming from the far end.
Meng Chaoge was afraid that she might be suffering from tinnitus and dizziness because she was not awake enough, so she patted her cheek and listened.
Da da da……
The sound of horse hooves became a little clearer again.
Meng Chaoge was still searching for the source of the sound, but the villagers were unaware of it.
Before and after the separation, Dong Qing, Ji Zhe, and Shi Zhonghuo were also alert.
Jiang Yichen, who was armed with a black gun, had already pointed out the direction of the sound to the four people.
The four of them looked ahead in the direction of Jiang Yichen's finger, and saw three dark figures gradually emerging from the dim light of the morning.
There were only three riders, and they came from outside the mountain. These two pieces of information alone made everyone in Tingyuge heave a sigh of relief.
The large army of more than seventy people did not stop marching, but as the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, the villagers who suddenly became aware of it began to feel uneasy and commotion.
Seeing this, Meng Chaoge cleared his throat and comforted the villagers, saying, "Don't worry, they are probably not with those on the mountain. Let us handle it."
After just a night of tossing, even with some inner strength, Meng Chaoge's voice still couldn't reach the ears of everyone in the long snake team.
Ji Zhe and Dong Qing took care of the mood of the villagers in the back-end team.
The three cavalry came at full speed, but in just a few breaths, they were already more than ten feet away in front of the long line of villagers.
A rider who was lagging behind shouted loudly: "Who's in front of you? Tell me your name!"
Shi Zhonghuo, who had been waiting at the front of the team, responded angrily: "Tingyuge, Shi Zhonghuo."
However, after hearing the sound, he saw that the other party was still driving his horse forward without any intention of slowing down.
Especially the first rider took great strides and led the way.
In less than a moment, the fire in the stone was only three feet away.
But the man on the horse showed no intention of reining in his horse and stopping.
Seeing a man and a horse crashing into each other like a small mountain, many villagers at the front of the team were either frightened to the point of being unable to walk, or they dispersed to the side in panic.
Only the middle-aged man, whose body remained strong no matter how tired he was, was still standing ten feet away to the left in front of the entire team, right in front of the path of the man and horse.
"Hey!——"
When many villagers closed their eyes in fear or unbearable, the BMW horse with a body as strong as a bull and as graceful as a fox finally got up with its strength, and its hoofs drew two straight lines on the ground.
With straight lines, his front hooves stepped in the air, he snorted lightly, turned slightly to the side to get out of the way of the middle-aged man in front of him, and landed leisurely.
The sound of falling hooves is softer than the sound of snoring.
It was only at this moment that the other two riders behind this one dared to come up and stood silently on both sides.
"It turns out it's Elder Shi. I'm sorry! I really didn't recognize Elder Shi's appearance for a moment, but I really didn't expect that Tingyuge would go to such a long distance to make money to support his family."
On top of the BMW horse, a handsome young man in yellow clothes with a face like jade leaned forward and saluted.
Long before the three cavalry arrived, everyone in Tingyu Pavilion had already seen clearly who was coming.
At least no one in the leadership of the young man in yellow would admit his mistake.
Yu Le, Zangfeng Pavilion.
Yu Legao was sitting on the saddle, with a warm smile on his face and a respectful attitude.
But anyone who sees this scene will find it too domineering and pretentious.
Shi Zhonghuo was like a stone without fire. He wiped off the new mud that had just fallen from the horse's hooves on his cheeks, and then tore open his face. There were some disguised gadgets on his head, revealing a relatively clean and handsome face and temples.
He was gray and straightened his clothes again.
Then he smiled and replied: "There has been some unrest in the world recently. Even Southern Shaolin was burned to the ground. Why don't we come and see what's going on, just in case."
"It's not peaceful." Yu Lele pointed out, "It is said that Southern Shaolin was burned down two days ago, and you actually came down from Jiulian Mountain today. Could it be that this matter is also related to your Tingyuge Pavilion."
Shi Zhonghuo pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Brother Yu, don't talk nonsense. When it comes to speed, we are just in tandem. There is no need to throw dirty water on each other."
Yu Le straightened up and said with a lack of interest: "That's true. I really can't do anything to this large group of villagers."
Because of the arrival of the three cavalrymen from Zangfeng Pavilion, the whole team had stopped moving forward, but the villagers behind them slowly came over.
Yu Le looked around and said, "How many of you are here? Did you rescue these villagers from the mountain?"
Although he arrived two days late, he also heard about the general situation of Jiulian Mountain two days ago.
"Five people." Shi Zhonghuo did not intend to hide anything, and then briefly described the situation of the five people when they went up the mountain twice and came down the mountain. It generally followed the facts, but did not explain the specific identities of the other four people.
Yu Le did not doubt Tingyuge's ability, let alone what Shi Zhonghuo said, but he was most interested in the identities of the four people that Shi Zhonghuo avoided mentioning.
While they were talking, there were probably about forty cavalrymen coming from Yu Le and the other three to approach the group of villagers.
Seeing Shi Zhonghuo's suspicious expression, Yu Le explained: "Oh, Elder Shi must not be aware that the imperial court has canceled the military restriction order in Putian County. We people don't have the ability and courage of the five of you, Elder Shi."
, it depends on the number of people and the courage to support the scene."
The villagers who understood these words understood that they were saved, and spread the good news from word to mouth.
Everyone felt relaxed, some fainted, some cried loudly, and some hugged each other and cried.
The scene was a little noisy and chaotic for a while, and Yu Le didn't know what to say.
The four men, Meng Chaoge, who had not yet revealed their identities, hurriedly walked into the team to rescue the unconscious villagers, so as not to turn their joy into tragedy. They finally escaped, but due to the moment of happiness, they collapsed and completely
Passed out.
Yu Le said a few words to the two people who followed him, and they rode off to urge the large troops to come.
…
…
The people who gathered at Zangfeng Pavilion distributed food and drinking water to the villagers for supplies.
Meng Chaoge also borrowed some water and pretended to wash his face, walked to Yu Lema, bowed and said: "Master Yu, no matter what happens in the future, Tingyuge will remember this kindness."
In fact, when he made the decision to rescue these villagers, Meng Chaoge had no intention of continuing to hide his identity.
After all, even if the villagers could be rescued from Jiulian Mountain, it would be difficult to bring them out of Putian County without a solid reputation.
However, after seeing clearly that the person coming was Yu Le from Zangfeng Pavilion, he originally planned to have Shi Zhonghuo step forward to negotiate.
But when Yu Le didn't face any difficulties and was willing to help these villagers, Meng Chaoge, the master of Tingyu Pavilion, had no reason to hide them.
Yu Le was not surprised by the appearance of this oval-faced beauty, and said: "Tingyuge's kindness is indeed important, but no need, it is worth it to see the beauty's true appearance. But I am quite curious,
Who are the other three masters?"
Meng Chaoge has not made any comments.
The other three people also stood up on their own.
"Ji Zhe."
"Dongqing."
"Jiang Yichen."
After hearing the end, Yu Le's eyes narrowed, and the sword mark was completely hidden in the bulging forehead.
Among the more than forty people brought by Zangfeng Pavilion, dozens of unkind looks were cast.
Their eyes fell on the young man in dirty clothes who finally revealed his identity and carried a black gun.
Yu Le jumped off his horse, walked towards him slowly, and said, "If I heard correctly, you said your name was, Jiang Yichen?!"
