289 Twilight Clouds Are Treacherous and Undercurrents Are Raging
Hua Jinglan let go of the young man's hand, took the horse again, and said, "Let's go."
Before her feet could step out, someone hugged her legs. She looked down at the young man with blood on his mouth and frowned. The young man took two deep breaths before saying: "Sir, please save us!"
"You?" Hua Jinglan couldn't help but ask.
The young man knelt on the ground and refused to get up, saying: "There are many people like me in the mountains. We are all descendants of Penglai Island. We had to do this because our relatives were kidnapped. My master's martial arts skills will definitely rescue us."
family!"
"Since there are so many of you, why don't you do it yourself?" Sang Bugui asked.
"Because we are no match for the masters of Brahma!" The young man's eyes were full of hatred, "They are also from Penglai Island, but they united with outsiders to force us to do such despicable things!"
Hua Jinglan turned her attention to Sang Bugui, who sighed: "Penglai Island is no longer what it used to be. Many people hid in the rivers and lakes and then exposed their evil deeds. There are many people hiding in the mountains doing banditry. The Suppressing Sky Tower was destroyed. These people
He intensified his efforts, and no one dared to expose the government's reward orders."
Her mind sank, Hua Jinglan knew she couldn't stay out of the matter, but Chun Yuyan's matter was imminent, and she couldn't spare the time to take care of it...
"If you believe me, tell me where they are hiding. I will rush there when I have solved the matter at hand."
But the young man refused to let go, holding her legs tightly and saying: "The imperial court has five cars of official silver that will pass through Red Maple Valley tomorrow night. If we don't stop them, we will die in vain!"
At this time, the two people in the water also climbed onto the shore. Sang Bugui held one of them up and asked, "Is what he said true?"
The man nodded tremblingly.
Sang Bugui saw Hua Jinglan's serious expression and asked, "Is the sect master looking for King Xiaoyao's army?"
"You know?" Hua Jinglan was slightly stunned.
Sang Bugui's face darkened, "King Xiaoyao's army secretly keeps pace and will arrive at Red Maple Valley tomorrow."
Hua Jinglan was more surprised, "Have you really seen them?"
Sang Bugui smiled softly and said, "Have you forgotten that it was you who asked me to travel around the five countries and record the topography of each country?"
Hua Jinglan pursed her lips. Don't tell me, she really didn't remember it. She just wanted to find a reason to pay him some money at that time, and she never thought that he would actually do it!
"I remember the terrain of Houyue Kingdom very clearly," Sang Bugui said: "Red Maple Valley is surrounded by high mountains and cliffs on both sides, and it is very narrow and long, making it easy to ambush. If an ambush is carried out here, the people in the valley will be trapped.
If we encounter him, we can use only rolling stones to defeat King Xiaoyao."
After a moment, Hua Jinglan changed her mind, lowered her head and said to the young man: "You lead the way."
The young man stood up quickly and hurried on the road together with the two people next to him.
In the evening of this day, Hua Jinglan and his party arrived at the Red Maple Valley. It was indeed famous for its red maples. The valley was full of maple trees, and the fallen leaves were scattered all over the valley, covering the ground. The bright red color seemed to still contain the feeling of winter.
It's air-conditioned. Spring has already begun, and the maple leaves here are still so red.
Hearing a few breaths hidden in the valley, Hua Jinglan lightly stepped on the valley wall and flew up, accurately grabbing the person in the grass and throwing him down the valley with just one hand.
Although the man was frightened, he was still able to land steadily. When he saw the young man and the two men, he just realized that something bad was going to happen and wanted to run away. Sang Bugui's umbrella had already been placed around his neck, and the heavy force prevented him from moving away.
!
The remaining people fled after hearing the wind, and Hua Jinglan had no intention of pursuing them. After looking around, he came down from the valley, glanced at the people stepping on the spot, and said: "The silver truck will pass here tomorrow.
Today should be the last time to visit the site, there are many traps arranged in the mountain."
"Who are you?!" the man who was captured yelled, "Don't you know this is the Penglai Sect's business and no one else can take care of it?!"
Hua Jinglan raised her lips and smiled, "You say so and I still want to take care of it. Where are your people?"
"Hmph!" The man was still unconvinced, "You don't know how to live or die. If you have the ability, come with me and let you know whether our Penglai Sect is easy to mess with!"
Sang Bugui coughed and laughed out loud. It was indeed quite funny to play tricks on others.
"Lead the way." Hua Jinglan said, rolling her sleeves.
After walking about 500 meters out of the valley, I saw the place where they were stationed. Most of the people were in shabby clothes and had haggard faces, but only a few people were drinking, eating and noisy.
One of them was so drunk that he turned his head, glanced at Hua Jinglan and the others, and then cursed in an indistinct voice: "How come these bitches have been gone for so long?!"
He staggered a few steps forward, opened his eyes and looked at Hua Jinglan, "Who are these people?"
Hua Jinglan bent her eyes and smiled, then lowered her voice and said, "The person who takes your life!"
However, the young man behind her took the initiative and stepped forward to twist the man's neck cleanly. With a "click", the man fell softly to the ground without even making a sound.
Only when the person fell to the ground did he wake up the other drinkers. Someone came up with a knife and asked, "Are you looking for death?!"
As if venting his hatred, the young man released his beastly form from behind and knocked everyone down with just a few movements.
"A bunch of rabble." Sang Bugui looked away coldly.
"Cheng Zhe, what are you doing?!" Someone next to him hurriedly came up to stop him.
"Jiang Xuan, we have been oppressed by these dogs for so long, don't you want to take revenge?!" Cheng Zhe yelled.
People around him gathered around, all of them red-eyed. Jiang Xuan, who grabbed Cheng Zhe, said, "Who doesn't want revenge, but if we only vent our anger temporarily, it will bring death to our family!"
"A fatal disaster?" Cheng Zhe sneered, "Tomorrow we are going to rush to transport the silver car. They know clearly that the court is planning to arrest us this time, but they still let us die. Do you think our family can be saved after we die?!"
There were people in their thirties and forties, people in their twenties, and teenagers. Their gray and defeated faces were filled with hatred, and their teeth were tightly clenched!
"Our martial arts are no match for the Brahma masters in the village, but the others are not a problem for us," Cheng Zhe said urgently: "This young master promised to help us. Let's fight back to the village together to save our relatives.
!”
Dozens of pairs of eyes turned to look at Hua Jinglan, full of suspicion.
