Chapter 53 Save my life again

The attitudes of both parties were very bad, and the talks were about to break down.

Ye Xiangxiang heard the voices above getting louder and louder, and wondered if they would fight.

There was the sound of a knife being used, and she shrank inside, fearing that the people above would see her.

It was just that someone else was trying to persuade them, but there was no fight.

Kong Shun said, "Yue Laizi, I am giving you face today, so I am willing to go up the mountain to see you in person. The court is suppressing bandits. If you want me to keep an eye on you, you'd better show some sincerity."

Yue Laizi laughed out loud, "You really think of yourself as a person. If you really have to spend all your efforts to suppress the bandits, how long can you, a horse thief, be safe? How many years have I been staying in Fuyu Mountain? It's your turn." Come to protect me? I’m giving you face.”

"Yue Laizi, let me ask you one last time, do you want to help or not? We have cooperated for many years. There is no need to make trouble because of a group of refugees. It really doesn't look good. If the news reaches that person's ears, he will think that we are causing trouble, so why bother with him?" happiness?"

Yue Laizi was resolute, "If you don't want to help, I don't have that much free time. If you can't even kill the refugees who are helping, then you are still considered a horse thief. You are worse than a gangster. Get out as soon as possible and leave Xiema Village to me."

Kong Shun still wanted to say, but Cripple Yue had lost his patience, "Okay, I asked you to come up the mountain just to see how miserable you are. You are really a coward, hahaha, get out of here."

It seemed that many people had left, and it was quiet for a while. Ye Xiangxiang did not dare to move for the time being.

After a while, someone spoke again.

"Boss, let me tell you, why bother talking down to him? This cripple Yue doesn't have much ability. How long can he last? They're just a bunch of refugees. Just kill them."

Kong Shun said, "I just wanted to give him a try. This time we met, Yue Cripzi was obviously more confident. Mr. Weng also refused to meet our people. I suspect that he had promised Yue Cripzi something."

The third child was surprised, "How is it possible? The man surnamed Weng doesn't take sides. He just wants us two gangs to fight. Why would he side with Huzi?"

Kong Shun said, "What do you think?"

The third child thought for a while, "Is it possible that they have found some clues?"

"That's what I'm afraid of. Over the years, we have been able to securely occupy Xiema Village and make Magistrate Gou dare not do anything. It is indispensable for Mr. Weng to come forward to bring peace. If he really sides with Yue Laizi, brother We are just afraid that we will not have a good time."

After he said this, others started to panic.

"Then what should we do? Boss, we have to find out clearly. If he really finds the clue, it will be very detrimental to us. We have to snatch the clue."

Kong Shun didn't speak. After a while, he said, "Let's go back first and keep an eye on those refugees to see if they have any origins."

"Yes."

When there was absolutely no movement above, Ye Xiangxiang knew that everyone should have left.

She thought over what they just said and came up with several pieces of information.

There is a group of bandits on this mountain. They are acquainted with the horse thieves and want to compete with each other for territory. They have a common protector named Weng, who seems to be leaning towards the bandits.

Both groups seemed to be looking for something, and the bandits might have found it.

Ye Xiangxiang felt that he couldn't go on like this and had to go up and take a look. Maybe he could find some clues.

But when she looked up, she realized that the cliff was too dangerous.

If you are not careful, you may fall and be shattered to pieces.

She was trying to figure out a way to go up, take off the rope, move it up little by little, and then climb up again with difficulty.

Seeing that she was about to reach the top of the mountain, she didn't know that the rocks on the cliff were not strong and the stones under her feet were loose. Her feet had no support and she was hanging in mid-air, relying only on a rope to support her body. Ye Xiangxiang was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, but he was afraid that the person would not go far, so he suppressed the fear in his heart and did not let himself scream.

There was an abyss at her feet, and she could reach the top of the mountain by taking one step upwards. However, her arm strength was limited, and she really had no confidence that she could follow the rope to the top of the mountain.

However, after persisting for a while, Ye Xiangxiang felt that his hands had no strength and could not hold the rope, so he slid down a bit.

She was terrified, but she clung to the rope and refused to give up easily. She tried to swing her body up and back into the cave.

It's just that the strength in her hands was too weak. When she swung her body, her hands couldn't hold the rope firmly, and her body fell rapidly.

I managed to stabilize myself, but still couldn't go back.

Ye Xiangxiang gritted his teeth, and at this moment, someone stepped on the rock wall, flew to her, and held her waist firmly.

"You don't want your life?"

Seeing Meng Tianlang coming, Ye Xiangxiang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect the stone to loosen."

"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go back first."

Meng Tianlang hugged her and wanted to go down. Ye Xiangxiang said hurriedly, "No, go up and have a look. I just heard Kong Shun and the bandit talking above. Maybe there will be some clues."

Meng Tianlang was very helpless, but he listened to her words. He held her waist with one hand and grabbed the rope with the other. He stepped on the rocks and reached the top of the mountain in three or five steps.

Being startled and suddenly stepping on the flat ground, Ye Xiangxiang felt particularly relieved.

In her previous life, rock climbing was done with protective measures. She thought she could do it, but who knew it would be so thrilling.

She jumped on the spot, and Meng Tianlang said in a deep voice, "If you don't have the skills, don't imitate other people's methods of flying over eaves and walking over walls. If you want to die, it's faster to throw yourself into a river."

Ye Xiangxiang was not angry at all. He just saved her life, "Okay, I remember. Thank you for saving me today. You saved my life again."

She didn't forget what she came up for, and looked around. There were indeed signs that someone had been here, but she didn't find anything useful.

There was a road going into the woods. Ye Xiangxiang followed the road and wanted to go there to have a look, and Meng Tianlang followed behind her.

She promised that her family would come out to look for someone, but she had to take the person back before it was over, right?
  After walking along the path for a while, when he heard someone talking, Meng Tianlang pulled Ye Xiangxiang and hid in the grass nearby.

The two of them followed the grass and approached the sound of people. After a while, they saw several houses hidden in the jungle.

People inside were drinking, punching, and shouting.

Needless to say, this is the base camp of the bandits.

Meng Tianlang observed carefully, then took Ye Xiangxiang back the same way. After going down the mountain and finding the backpack she had left behind, the two of them walked back.

Ye Xiangxiang said, "How long have those bandits been in the mountain? From the looks of it, there should be dozens of them, but you can't see anything from the bottom of the mountain."

Meng Tianlang looked back and said, "This mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, with high mountains and dangerous roads. Setting up camp in it is not conspicuous, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the imperial court suppresses bandits, it will be very difficult."

He asked, "What did you hear them say on the top of the mountain?"

Ye Xiangxiang thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing he couldn't tell Meng Tianlang, so he told him exactly what he had heard.
