I held my skirt in one hand and carefully walked up the mountain road. The wind was very strong, and I could almost hear the whining sound of the wind blowing through the stone walls of the narrow mountain road. It sounded more like the howling of wild beasts deep in the forest.

Call.

There is still blood on the mountain road, which was left when the water dragon's head was thrown off.

After a while, my shoes were stained with blood, but I couldn't care less about feeling sick and scared at this time. I had already reached the narrow intersection. The wind here was even stronger, and it almost knocked over my curtain.

Holding the hat with one hand and carefully holding the mountain wall with the other, you can see that this narrow and rugged road stretches forward towards the low-lying area, surrounded by dense bushes. The road ahead turns.

You can't see any deeper.

This is what gives our people the biggest headache.

This kind of terrain is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we really take action, it will be very difficult just to break in. It will also be really difficult to ensure the safety of the people inside.

And maybe the only one my Lier can rely on is me.

Thinking of this, a little strength came out of my body and I walked slowly down the mountain road.

As soon as I reached the turning point of the mountain road, I heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes. Immediately, several people came out of it. They were all big men with big shoulders and beards. I was shocked. <

/p>

They have already come over: "Are you that Mrs. Qingying?!"

I suppressed the exclamation I was about to say and tried my best to calmly say: "Yes."

"Oh, you are a woman, you really dare to come here, you have courage!"

"Come with us."

After they finished speaking, two people led the way, while the remaining few only glanced at me and were still hiding in the bushes. I followed those people forward and looked around.

Not only in the bushes, but also on the surrounding mountain walls, there are people hiding in some hidden places.

I walked while watching, and after a while after passing a few corners, I saw people patrolling ahead. As soon as they saw us, they immediately came up to us. The two bandits who brought me in handed me over.

They turned around and went back; while this group of people continued to lead me forward, and after passing a few intersections, they handed me over to the next group of patrolling people.

In addition to feeling heavy, I was also a little shocked.

This mountain tiger is really not simple.

From the first time I came in, I saw the guards around the mountain gate. Now these people are patrolling and guarding in an orderly manner. And although these people are all vulgar and wild, and they are all rude bandits, they can strictly abide by a certain order and keep this place.

The defense is impregnable. This does not look like a bandit's den, it is simply a well-trained military camp!

At this point, I also want to meet that mountain tiger.

I want to know who he is, why he kidnapped Li'er, why he set up this position here, and why he wants to see me.

However, what I want to see most is Li'er.

My daughter fell into such a den of thieves, has she been wronged?

The two big men walked beside me one after the other, urging me to move forward. This mountain road was extremely rugged. There was a big bend after almost a short walk, and the water dripping from the protruding stone walls would

Everything around me was wet, and I had a hard time walking, but I still carefully held up my skirt to follow them, and didn't forget to ask: "The person you captured, my daughter, is she okay?"

Those people didn't say anything and just walked forward.

Gradually, I heard voices coming from the front.

My heart suddenly became excited, and I followed the last group of people to pick me up. When I turned over the mountain wall in front, my eyes suddenly opened up!

What I faced was a huge mountain col. There were more than a dozen sharpened wooden fences placed nearby for protection. Behind the wooden fence, there were trestles and towers built according to the mountain. On both sides were more than a dozen wooden fences.

A ten-foot-high wooden wall surrounds the inside; the thick treads extend back, and there are tall houses and pavilions. Although the structure is simple and there are no exquisite carved railings and jade, the simple structure and the surrounding rough rocks

It is completely integrated, giving people an extraordinarily thick and indestructible feeling.

Moreover, although the mountain stream was filled with light mist, I could still vaguely see that there was a winding mountain road behind the camp, and I could vaguely see the roof beams behind the mountain wall behind the camp.

Exposing a corner, it is obvious that this camp is not just in front of you, but is built against the mountain and stretches to a very deep place.

What an amazing building!

No wonder, they said that the government could never defeat these bandits. From the camp in front of us, we can already get a glimpse of the strength of these bandits.

I stood in front of the camp and couldn't help but marvel, but right in front of me, next to the gate, stood a large stone tablet several feet high, with three large blood-red characters engraved on it - Crouching Tiger Village!

I stood there, stunned by the amazing scene in front of me.

The person leading the way said: "Hurry up!"

As they said that, they had already walked in. As soon as the patrol guards inside saw the people coming, they immediately came down and moved the fence. This group of people handed me over and said: "Go and report to the village leader, this Qingying

Madam is here."

"Yes."

I don’t know if it’s because they already knew I was coming back. When I followed those people and slowly walked into the huge village gate, everyone inside was looking at me. I took a cursory look as I walked in.

Around the village, there are many low-rise houses built in the village, and you can vaguely see many swords hanging inside. They should be warehouses for storing knives. None of them are higher than the wooden wall outside.

The avenue extends to the front. Built against the mountain wall, it is a tall wooden building. It is said to be a wooden building, but in fact it is more like a wooden castle. It stands quietly deep in the mountain col, like a crouching tiger, using its laziness to calm down.

The sharp eyes look at every approaching prey.

I followed those people all the way and looked around carefully. There were not only tall and strong gangsters, but also some old people and women. It seemed like a city. Of course, the largest number of people were young and strong men.

There were groups of three and five, some sitting on the ground and grilling meat around the fire, and some sitting at the round table, carrying wine jars and drinking heavily, and everyone had a scimitar blade on their body.
p>

The way they looked at me was like looking at a sheep walking into a wolf's den.

The cold mountain wind blew across my back, and I was shivering with cold sweat, but there was still no change in my face until those people took me to the door and said, "Go in by yourself."

I nodded: "Thank you."

The big men were a little surprised. They didn't seem to expect that at this time and in this situation, I could still thank them. They raised their eyebrows and looked at me, and said with a half-smile: "Madam, you are so brave."

"Don't dare."

"Don't worry, the village leader is waiting for you."

After saying that, they turned around and walked back. I calmed down, raised my head and looked at the tall wooden house in front of me.

The door was just ajar, and I could hear faint voices coming from inside, which seemed to be talking about "Yangzhou" and "official government". I couldn't hear clearly through the door, but I just vaguely felt that the voice sounded like

Somewhat familiar.

However, before I could listen carefully, someone else spoke.

This time, there was more than one person speaking, and it seemed that many people were talking about something. My hand touched the door knocker, and my fingertips were covered in cold sweat. I didn’t know how many people were inside, and who was waiting for me.

, but when I thought that maybe my Li'er was here, or maybe waiting for me in a nearby room, I felt confident, and I stretched out my hand to push.

I heard a creak and the door opened.

What appears in front of you is a huge foyer.

The room was very tall, and the air was very turbid. The air mixed with the smell of human sweat and charcoal fire penetrated into my nose, which made me frown slightly. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a huge long table inside, enough for dozens of people.

We were eating and drinking together, and there were indeed many people sitting on both sides. There were tall and sturdy men, lean and seasoned middle-aged people, and even one or two bookish people wearing green hats and holding hands.

A young man holding a document and a writing brush.

These people seemed to be talking about something, but when they heard the sound of the door being pushed, they all turned to look at me.

I was stunned for a moment.

I originally thought that when I entered this den of thieves, I would see an unsightly scene, but the feeling this scene gave me, although it was not what I expected, nor was it too strange, but it gave me an indescribable strange feeling.<

/p>

I always feel like something is wrong.

I looked at them, and they looked at me, with various looks and expressions, which made me feel scared, but I still calmly held the door and raised my head to look at the other end of the long table.<

/p>

There, sitting a tall man, he should be the head of Crouching Tiger Village, the one who wanted me to come in and meet him.

Because the distance was too far and the light was a little dim, I couldn't see clearly what the person sitting directly above the long table looked like. I could only vaguely see that he was tall and strong, giving people an overbearing and evil aura. Although the various characters around him

There are many, but they are all suppressed by his momentum.

And that person's figure... seems a little familiar to me.

At this moment, I heard the man say: "You all should go out first."

This time he spoke without any obstruction. I heard him clearly, and there was a buzz in my head——

This voice!

As soon as the people around the long table heard what he said, they all stood up and walked out. A few of them also looked at me deliberately, but through the curtains and hats, I couldn't see clearly. I could only see a bit of their eyes.

Have fun.

When all those people were gone, I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart. I raised my head and walked forward. I saw the person sitting at the top slowly stood up and said to me: "Yue Qingying, we are here again."

We met."
Chapter completed!
