Sweeping the world

Chapter 17
"Going into the mountains tomorrow, have you made all the preparations?"

"It's all ready."

"For this time today, we have been preparing for more than half a year. There must be no problems this time."

In the middle of the night, a burst of conversation came from a simple inn.

Sitting quietly outside the inn, hearing the chatter coming from the inn, Chen Ming inexplicably felt a little bored.

Standing outside the inn, after a while, the sound from the room became much quieter, and Chen Ming didn't stay there any longer, but chose to get up and go upstairs to rest in his room.

The next day, the sun gradually rose in the sky, and a group of people walked slowly into the field.

"It's here"

Riding ahead, looking at the scenery ahead, Lu Liang said.

Hearing his voice, Chen Ming also raised his head.

The place in front of me is a very barren plain, and at the end of the plain, there is a huge pothole.

The pothole doesn't look too big. It is located at the bottom of a mountain wall. It seems that it was not formed naturally, but was dug by people.

Coming here, Chen Ming casually looked around.

Near the cave in front, the surrounding vegetation has been completely shoveled away at this moment, and huge pits of earth have emerged around them. The soil accumulated on it still looks very fresh, and it should have been dug in the past few days.

It seems that before Lu Liang brought people here, Zhang Qiu and Liu Bao had already led people to search around here for a while.

"This is the place."

Looking at the huge pothole in front of him, at the front of the team, Zhang Qiu said, "According to the instructions on the map, we searched the mountain for a whole month before we found the exact location."

"However, after all, this place has been in the past for too long, and it involves that kind of thing. There may be some danger in it."

"There is a risk for sure." Lu Liang continued, "If there is no danger, the three of us can just go in. Why bring so many people here?"

"Okay, let's go in."

Zhang Qiu nodded, and then said, "The entrance was opened three days ago, should you go in now?"

"I have no opinion."

Lu Liang spoke in this way, but then he looked to the side and looked at the position where Chen Ming was: "Chang'an, it might be a little dangerous down here, you stay outside."

"Is this against the rules?" Zhang Qiu frowned.

"He's still a child." Lu Liang said lightly, "If you're worried, just leave a few people outside."

"That's fine." Nodding slightly, after a little thought, Zhang Qiu finally nodded.

With these things arranged properly, they did not hesitate to start in order.

"Lv Da, you stay too."

At the end, when it was Lu Liang's turn to go down, he seemed to have thought of something, so he pretended to be unintentional and said to Lu Da, asking him to stay too.

"Don't worry, Chief Escort."

Lu Da nodded, walked to Chen Ming's side silently, without saying anything.

Standing at the same spot, Chen Ming quietly watched Lu Liang go down, and watched a person disappear from his vision, slowly walking down from the pothole.

"Uncle Lu, let's find a place to rest."

Seeing that the last person followed, Chen Ming sighed as he looked at the few people left around, and then said.

At this moment, with the three of Lu Liang leading most of the people down, there are not many people left outside.

Including Chen Ming and Lu Da, there were only 13 people.

After the three of Lvliang led the people down, these people did not leave in a tacit understanding, and stationed nearby, staying here silently.

Time passed slowly, and soon, two days passed in a flash.

"It's been two days since Senior Brother Lu went down."

In a fairly spacious tent, Chen Ming was holding a book in his hand, and while looking at the book in his hand, this thought flashed through his mind.

A gust of wind blows from the outside, blowing up the covering cloth of the tent, revealing the scene outside.

Light footsteps sounded slowly, accompanied by a voice that Chen Ming was quite familiar with.

"Young master, come out for lunch."

Lu Da gently pushed aside the cover of the tent, walked in, looked at Chen Ming, and said with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Ming put down the book in his hand, nodded slightly, then got up and walked out.

Soon, he came to a flat ground, where at this moment, a burst of heat was already rising, and a bonfire was burning on it.

"Come on, young man, come and eat meat."

Seeing Chen Ming approaching, in the presence, a middle-aged fat man with a round face and a somewhat fat body smiled all over, looked at Chen Ming and said.

This person's name was Liu Qi, and he was the leader left behind by Zhang Qiu when he left before. He had become familiar with Chen Ming in the past two days.

"Okay." Chen Ming smiled, stepped forward and sat down silently, sitting in his own seat.

As time passed, the people stationed here slowly approached, and Lu Da also stepped forward and sat next to Chen Ming.

I don't know if it's an illusion, sitting quietly on the chair, Chen Ming always feels that something is wrong with the atmosphere today, full of a weird atmosphere.

"Leader Lu and the others have been down for two days now, and there is still no news."

Sitting there, Liu Qi was worried: "Look, brother Lu, should we send someone down to have a look?"

"Indeed. Too much time has passed."

Lu Da sighed softly, with some worry on his face: "Since this is the case, if no one comes up later, shall we send someone down to have a look?"

"That's very good." Liu Qi nodded, and a smile appeared on his round face.

"Huh?" Sitting quietly on the spot, Chen Ming was suddenly taken aback.

After completing Linyuan's saber technique practice, his senses are already very keen at this moment, and within a few meters range, no disturbance can be concealed from his senses.

But at this moment, in his feeling, a few meters away, there is a shadow lurking, and at this moment, under the cover of sundries, it is slowly touching behind Lu Da.

Sensing this, he subconsciously wanted to get up.

tread.
A burst of crisp footsteps suddenly sounded, interrupting Chen Ming's movements.

At the same place, the expression on Lu Da's face changed suddenly, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he directly pulled out the long knife on his waist: "Do it!!"

After the words fell, there were bursts of hurried footsteps from outside, and in the blink of an eye, several figures appeared from all around, each holding a weapon in his hand.

"You!!" Liu Qi's face changed instantly, and before he had time to say anything, he felt his eyes go dark.

A huge long knife slashed straight down in front of his eyes, and cut directly at Liu Qi's head in an instant, looking like he wanted to kill him with a single blow.

The fierce long knife was slashed down in an instant, and a violent wind was brought up in an instant, forcing Liu Qi to keep retreating, his face was full of dignity.

boom! !

A sharp long sword stabbed from behind, directly stabbing him, making a violent noise.

Suddenly receiving such a blow, Liu Qi's leather armor was immediately torn with a big hole, and there was a cut in his waist and abdomen, and there were spots of crimson donated blood flowing from it.

He struggled to get up, and looked at the distance walking towards him. Lu Da, who had an indifferent face, showed an expression of disbelief: "Why?"

"why?"

Hearing his doubts, Lu Liang stepped on him directly with disdain on his face: "Don't think I don't know about your little moves."

"If the Chief Escort hadn't been down for too long, I would have wanted to kill you, a smiling tiger!"

While speaking, he raised his right hand casually, and a silver throwing knife shot out directly, accurately knocking down a figure hiding behind him.

"Play tricks in front of Lao Tzu, you are still a little tender!"

He sneered, then turned around, looked at Chen Ming who stood motionless in the distance, as if stunned by the scene in front of him: "It's okay, young man, go to the tent to rest for a while, I'll take care of things here right away .”

While speaking, he stepped hard on Liu Qi, making Liu Qi under him howl continuously.

Standing quietly at the same spot, looking at this scene, the corner of Chen Ming's mouth twitched, and he had a deeper understanding of these people under Lu Liang.

However, he didn't say anything, just obediently listened to Lu Da's words, and obediently walked towards his tent.

In the same place, after he left, bursts of wailing began to come out continuously, and the sound sounded like Liu Qi's screams.

Listening to the voice quietly, Chen Ming's expression remained unchanged, he just sighed softly, silently picked up the book he had put aside before, and continued to read.

"and many more."

Just picked up the book, not long after, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because at this moment in the distance, the sound of horses galloping is slowly sounding.

"It seems that I came at a very good time."

A voice resounded all around, the voice sounded very strong and powerful, just opened his mouth slightly, and the voice spread far, far away.
