New and dark light years

Chapter 113 How Could You Lie to Me

After a while, Bai Zhiwei said, "Don't cry, let's talk about business first."

The man wiped his tears and said, "I don't know what the real business is. You have to decide for yourself."

Bai Zhiwei understood that this man was simply acting as an insider here, and he didn't even know that he and others were here.

"We need someone to lead the way around Changmeijun Town."

"You want to kill those bastards in Yuecheng?" The man's eyes lit up.

"Correct."

"That's great, I'll take you there, but you have to give me a chance to do it."

Bai Zhiwei smiled and said, "That's natural."

"Then you rest tonight. I'll wait for you in the bamboo forest south of the village tomorrow morning."

After saying this, the man left.

Yan Han asked, "Is this man trustworthy? Do you want me to follow him?"

Bai Yunfei's "betrayal" really scared Yanhan and left him with some psychological trauma.

Now he looks at outsiders with a certain degree of caution.

Bai Zhiwei shook his head: "No need, this man is quite powerful. If you follow him, he might find you, which could easily lead to misunderstandings. Besides, this is the order of the county lord, so it's not a big problem."

Yanhan sat down again.

Everyone ate dry food and began to take turns to keep watch or rest.

Li Lin had a good sleep because he had been on duty the night before.

At dawn, everyone set off for the bamboo forest in the north of the village.

The man was already waiting.

But unlike last night, this man was dressed in tight clothes, holding a machete, and standing there.

Although his face was still very dark, no different from last night, the temperament he displayed at this time was solemn and murderous.

Bai Zhiwei walked over, clasped his fists, and asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"My surname is Fan, and my name is Shan!" The man said, clasping his fists. "Greetings to all the spirit hunters."

Spirit hunters are easily recognized, for one thing, they wear a white jade token on their bodies, and for another, they have a strong yin energy about them.

Fan Shan continued, "Let's get going without further ado. The mountain roads here are quite difficult to walk on."

Everyone naturally agreed.

Fan Shan led the way and soon started climbing the mountain.

There are many mountains in Jin County, and there are mountains everywhere. There is a saying that there are 100,000 mountains... What's more troublesome is that this is a mountainous area with a humid and warm climate and very lush forests. The spirit hunters are no longer ordinary people and have good physical strength, but after walking on the mountain road for half a day, they all feel a little tired.

The terrain is very varied, with ups and downs, and trees and vines everywhere. Sometimes you have to use weapons to clear a path to move forward.

Ding Yingqiu brushed the leeches off her back and, listening to the howling of wolves in the distance, asked, "How long will it take us to get out of this forest?"

"At this rate, we can get out before dusk and get around to the back of Changmei Military Town." Fan Shan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very familiar with this road. I've walked it many times."

"But when I look here, there doesn't seem to be any road at all," Ding Yingqiu complained.

Fan Shan laughed and said, "Because I'm the only one walking this way, there's no way for others."

It turned out to be the case.

Everyone followed Fan Shan and after walking for a while, they came out of the forest and entered a small cave.

There are some daily necessities in it, a stove made of stones, and a carpet bed made of tiger skin.

"You just rested here tonight?" Ding Yingqiu was surprised to see the tiger-skin bed. "Aren't you afraid of being spooked?"

"Of course not." Fan Shan said with a smile, "Sometimes I go hunting in the mountains. When I get tired, I rest here for about half an hour. I will be back to the village before dusk."

That's it.

Everyone rested here for a while and ate some dry food.

Half an hour later, we set off again, this time heading down the mountain, walking faster.

Sure enough, we got down the mountain before dusk.

Bai Zhiwei took out a handwritten topographic map from his arms, looked around, and nodded.

Everyone relaxed.

Fan Shan knew that these spirit hunters didn't fully trust him, but he didn't care. He pointed to the distance and said, "The Changmei Army is stationed behind that mountain. If we want to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, we should go in this direction. There is an official road there..."

Bai Zhiwei said admiringly, "You are really familiar with this area. Thank you for your hard work."

"I've been waiting for this opportunity for thirteen years." Fan Shan said with some excitement: "Everyone, follow me."

He took the lead and walked in front.

Bai Zhiwei asked, "What opportunity have you been waiting for for thirteen years?"

"Before I was sent here as an insider, my superiors told me that if I was useful, I could return to live in Yulin County. To that end, I've been diligently training in martial arts and exploring the terrain around here under the guise of hunting, never slacking off."

"Have you committed any crime that has landed you such a difficult mission?"

Fan Shan was silent for a moment, then said, "Thirteen years ago, I was a successful martial artist, full of youthful energy. One day, after a few drinks, I saw a man harassing a woman on the street, so I went up to him and attacked him. As a result, I used too much force and killed him."

"That man was the son of a wealthy businessman, and his father brought me to the county court," Fan Shan said gratefully. "I thought I was doomed. After all, the wealthy businessman could easily settle the case with just a little money. But the county magistrate, though he had only been in office for a short time, refused to accept bribes. He said that although I had made a serious mistake, I was doing good deeds and had simply made a mistake. Therefore, I could be spared the death penalty, but I could not escape the punishment of life. So he exiled me here and said that if he could ever use me, he would let me go back after the matter was settled."

No wonder he was so excited.

After all, I have waited for this day for thirteen years.

As everyone walked over, evening arrived and the white jade plate began to emit a faint light.

Huang Gui wakes up and comes to the human world from underground.

Fan Shan pointed to a platform on the mountainside ahead and said, "Hurry up, it's a good spot from where you can see what's happening on the entire official road."

Everyone immediately sped up.

When they arrived at the platform on the mountainside, everyone found that the view here was indeed very good, and the official road was just below this platform.

It is not only a good reconnaissance position, but also a good raiding point.

Ding Yingqiu immediately sprinkled the Imperial Boundary Powder to form a circle.

As everyone walked in, the red light of the white jade plate dimmed again.

Fan Shan looked at this group of Yujie fans and said with some nostalgia: "Back then, I was also a spirit hunter."

"The same to you?"

Fan Shan nodded and said, "Yes, after I committed the crime, the county magistrate took away my status as a spirit hunter."

"Then the Yin energy in your body is not strong..." Yan Han said.

"Without blood rice, I dared not practice the Yin-Yang Heart Method, so it fell into disuse."

While they were chatting over there, Li Lin waved to Zhao Xiaohu.

"Brother Lin, what's the matter?" Yue Xiaohu sat next to Li Lin.

"If we really start a fight, stay by my side."

"My marksmanship is pretty good now."

Li Lin sighed and said, "You're still a long way off. You're only thirteen, and you won't be fourteen until the New Year. You have plenty of time to train and grow. There's no need to rush."

Zhao Xiaohu thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

At this time, Ding Yingqiu pointed at Zhao Xiaohu and said, "You're only thirteen? Didn't you say you were thirty?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

Zhao Xiaohu looked embarrassed.

"How could you lie to me!" Ding Yingqiu was so angry that her face turned red.
