Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

No matter how reluctant he was, he finally let Qingshan follow.

The main reason is that neither Ji Wuyan nor Cen Yan can get rid of Qingshan, nor can they defeat Qingshan, nor can they defeat Qingshan together, not to mention that it is difficult to reduce their combat effectiveness because of their own people before committing crimes.

So, there were three people in the group, the leader, whose eyes were obviously evasive, and who was feeling guilty, the other one, who had a slumped face as if he was owed tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the last one, who was taller and thinner, with a wooden face. His expression was like an out-of-body experience. Such three people were walking in the wilderness, with words like "Abnormal, not doing good things, report to the official and arrest" written all over their bodies.

Fortunately, not to mention human figures along the way, not even ghosts were seen.

Since the fall of the Taoist religion, people who go up to the back mountain have been almost invisible. Maybe it is because of resistance, maybe because of taboos. After all, the government is still clearing away the remnants of the Taoist religion to this day. A few people, so they didn't care whether it was true or not, but they looked like they were, so they were arrested, put on bond, thrown into a prison, interrogated, and locked up for a while.

As for what "it looks like" means, they are mostly homeless people, beggars, gangsters who fight in the streets, drunkards who are hungover, and if a family member comes to ransom them with the ransom within three days of being captured, then what? Just give him a verbal lesson and let him go. If not, then just stay in there for a while. In this way, you will not only create a new source of income for the government, but also solve most of the public security problems. have to.

The cave that Cen Yan found before was located at the foot of Houshan Mountain. The distance was not far, but the entrance to the cave was difficult to find. Even though they had stepped on the right spot before, they were surrounded by the same weeds and rocks, so the three of them still turned around. It took a long time to find the cave entrance.

The entrance to the cave is hidden, and if you listen carefully, there is no sound, not even obvious breathing, and no firelight can be seen. From the outside, the entire cave looks quiet and quiet, with no trace of life at all. Qingshan looked back at Cen Yan, a little suspicious, "Is this really the place?"

How can I bear to be doubted by someone who cannot be defeated and is not pleasing to the eye? Cen Yan almost jumped, but luckily he still had sense. He only looked sideways at Qingshan and snorted disdainfully, "Of course! I watched that ugly thing go in with my own eyes, and I didn't see him show up until I left. How about that?" If the girl didn’t tell me not to alert the enemy, I would have gone in and captured him!”

Qingshan nodded silently, with a very serious and honest expression. He seemed to believe him. After a moment, he added, "I heard that you fought against him and didn't even catch up with him..."

Cen Yan choked, "I, I, young master, that, that's..." After saying "that's" for a long time, he couldn't find a reason or excuse to put it on the table. For a while, he always felt that no matter how he said it, it was It was a bit irritating, so I simply shut up and said nothing. I just cursed in my heart. When did this stupid guy care about other people's affairs?

Unexpectedly, Qingshan, who was usually concise and to the point, talked a lot at this moment. He glanced at Cen Yan, who was crouching beside him, and reminded him, "One of the things I'm afraid of is that you might alert someone, but the most important thing is that the girl knows you can't beat her." Then Lin Yi, I’m afraid you’ll get caught in acting impulsively!”

Um? Can this person speak? In the face of a formidable enemy, how can one allow others' ambition to destroy one's own prestige? Jifeng glared at him, "You're the one in Zheli Tou! If you can't speak, don't talk! If I turn into Zheli Tou and become a ghost, the first person I'll go to is you! I'll drag you to the underworld to keep me company!"

Qingshan twitched the corner of his mouth, with an expression that was not really a smile. He was vaguely dismissive, and did not look at him. While paying attention to the movement in the cave, he disliked Cen Yan, "Afraid of you? I'm a human being. You can't beat me at all times, do you think you can beat me if you become a ghost? You are not afraid of being beaten to death by me and unable to be reincarnated." "You!"

"Okay..." Ji Wuyan glanced at the two live treasures behind him. He was as taciturn as Qingshan. When he followed his brother, he was always a person who couldn't say anything for a long time, but when he met Cen Yan, he started to become... I look like a human being, and I can still talk to you and me at this moment.

"There is no firelight, no voice, only weak breathing." Ji Wuyan listened attentively and said, "Lin Yi must not be inside. This guy has a cunning temper and there are many hiding places. He must not be there for a few days." Time is spent hiding in one place." After saying that, Ji Wuyan glanced at Cen Yan and pursed his lips behind him. Cen Yan understood the idea, stepped back a dozen steps, and began to alert the surroundings.

When the moon is dark and the wind is high, when someone commits an offense and steals someone, he is most afraid of being attacked from both sides... Well, this "stealing" is not the other "stealing", Cen Yan was on alert while secretly cursing in his heart.

Ji Wuyan quietly picked up the weeds piled at the entrance of the cave and poked inside. The entrance didn't look big, but the inside of the cave was quite wide. In the dim night, he could vaguely see a broken straw mat spread in the corner. There was a small and medium-sized group huddled on the mat. There was no fire, so the man could only shrink himself back and forth, and the soothing and weak breathing came from there. In addition, there was a small pot set aside, but there was nothing next to it.

Ji Wuyan was mentally prepared for Lin Yi's caution. The imperial court had suppressed the Taoist religion for so long and captured the Celestial Master for so long, but Lin Yi was still alive and well and still causing trouble in the city of Yanjing. The imperial court even ordered him to I don’t know what he looks like or what his name is, and I haven’t even found a place to stay, which shows that this person is very smart. What's more, he also has such impressive skills... He has the alertness of a rabbit and the claws of a tiger and wolf. How can ordinary people catch him?

He stepped on a broken branch under his feet, and the slight sound was amplified in the quiet night, startling the people huddled on the broken straw mat in the cave.

The man trembled almost instantly, but did not sit up or turn around. He only asked, "Who is it?" I don't know if it was cold or frightened, but there was an obvious tremor - it was the voice of an older woman. , the voice is equally weak and feeble.

Qingshan blew up the fire.

The cave suddenly became bright.

The wind whimpered at the entrance of the cave, and the cave was empty and cold. There was only a shabby straw mat under the woman's body, and a dirty cotton coat that was patched and couldn't hide the tattered cotton wool. It only covered her upper body, not caring about her head and buttocks. It was probably because of the cold that the woman curled up her limbs into the small, tattered cotton coat, her neck shrank, and the few gray hairs on the back of her head were tied up in dirty knots.

If he didn't tell him, if he met him on the roadside elsewhere, Ji Wuyan would only think that he was just a miserable old beggar.

Even at this moment, Ji Wuyan did not want to believe that the person in front of him was once an elder of Ji's Elders' Association.
