Chapter 90: A god who wants to get rich by picking up bargains!

There were two loud noises ahead, and the convicts were frightened, so they walked faster. In half an hour, the entire team had moved away from the foot of the West Mountain and circled to an open area behind the North Mountain.

The few villagers from Gaojia Village who led the way brought the exile team here, and their mission was considered completed.

Several people went to talk to the officers.

"Sir, walk north along the mountain road from here. There is a tea stall outside the next village five miles away where you can rest. After passing it, you will reach the official post station in less than two hours. There may be wild boars passing by, but not many. Please be careful."

Xiong Jiushan was not in the team at the moment. The deputy who was entrusted with the important task was very happy to see the sincerity of the Gaojia villagers, and gave them a few copper coins as a reward before leaving.

The villagers expressed their gratitude profusely and returned to the village happily.

The leading escorts gathered together and laughed, "I didn't expect the villagers in Gaojia Village to be so nice. If we weren't in such a hurry to get on with our journey, we would have loved to stay in the village for two more days."

Someone nearby joked, "Don't stay here any longer. If you continue like this, today there's Lord Wang, and tomorrow there's Lord Li."

This one sentence silenced everyone.

After a long while, someone asked, "Do you think the Xie family can really communicate with gods?"

"Who knows, whether it can be done or not, what does it have to do with our poor brother?"

"The commander came to see Xie Yuchuan. What do you think it was because?"

"That's right. Lord Xiong also followed us into the mountains. There won't be any monsters in the west mountain of Gaojia Village, right?"

Just as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of his head. He turned around and saw his boss scolding him: "Don't talk about strange things. If you keep talking nonsense all day long, you will get into trouble sooner or later!"

The young official covered his head and tried to excuse himself, saying, "Hey, Boss, we were just chatting. Who wouldn't be nervous with the hot potato of the Xie family in the team? We just left the capital, and look at the chaos along the way. Who wouldn't be worried about the trouble ahead?"

"Which route of exile is less troublesome? You're not doing your job properly all day long, but are just making useless guesses. Keep an eye on all the prisoners, my Lord. If anyone is missing when you return, no one will be spared, including me."

"The villagers said there's a teahouse five miles away in the neighboring village. Can we go there to rest and wait for the adults to return?"

"Alright, let's do it."

The convicts dragged themselves north along the flat road behind the mountain, accompanied by the shouts of the guards. They had all had a good night's sleep in the village yesterday. Compared to their previous sleeping conditions, the shabby thatched houses in Gaojia Village were nostalgic.

After a good sleep, I set off on the road today, and the exile's condition has improved a lot.

The villagers who led the way returned to the village to report the news.

"The Xie family member that Brother Shanhe mentioned was taken into the mountains by the new master. The others were taken away from the back of the North Mountain by the officials."

There weren't many people left in the village. A group of young men had followed Gao Shanhe into the mountains to look for the precognitive sister Huaihua. Gao Shusheng had led a group into the mountains from the other side, and now a few of them had returned. After hearing what they had said, the elders in the ancestral hall looked at each other, stood up, and asked seriously:

"So the new sir took one of the convicts into the mountains?"

"Yes! The escort is so fierce that Master Xiong is also following."

"It seems that the person Huaihua mentioned is the one who went into the mountain!"

Inside the West Mountain, in the valley between the Erling Mountains.

Gao Shanhe and a few brothers from the village hid behind the surrounding rocks and trees, carefully watching the group of outsiders at the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, after watching for a long time, they finally found that Sister Huaihua, whom they had been looking for for a long time, was among those people.

Gao Shanhe frowned tightly. Why didn’t he notice it just now?

Gao Lizheng quickly led his men from the other side and arrived at Erling Pinggu before Wang Chong and his men.

The people of Gaojia Village have a special connection with each other through the sounds of birds.

This is a method that was naturally passed down by the villagers after they had been traveling through the mountains and forests for a long time. Soon, Gao Shanhe discovered the special rhythm of the calls around him and hurriedly imitated the bird calls to respond.

In the distance, Gao Shusheng said, "Shanhe and the others are over there. Let's go over there carefully."

When he got here, he found that there were indeed many more foreigners here, and it was obvious that their attire and posture were unusual.

He didn't understand what had possessed these people that they suddenly all came here and were even holding a sacrifice downstairs.

Gao Shusheng came quietly to Gao Shanhe with a gloomy face. The view on their side was better and they could see more clearly.

"The people below were armed and had no good intentions. Sister Huaihua was taken away by them," said Gao Shanhe.

Gao Shusheng nodded, "I saw it."

"Uncle, what do you think these people are doing here?"

"Look at these outsiders first. They don't even worship at the Laoshan Temple, but come here and mess around. If they kill someone, you'll know how powerful Laoshan is."

Gao Shanhe responded, then after a moment, turned around and asked, "Where are the exiled people?"

"They were about to leave early. We tried to persuade them but failed. As soon as they left the village, the commander-in-chief came with his men and stopped the team," said Gao Shusheng.

Gao Shanhe didn't expect that an accident would happen in the village after he entered the mountains.

He suddenly thought of the handsome man from the Xie family, "Is the Xie family okay?"

Gao Shusheng knew who he was asking about. As he watched the people at the foot of the mountain courting their own deaths, he said, "Is that the one you told us to keep a close eye on, Xie Yuchuan? He's the one Commander Wang is looking for." He thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps they're about to enter the mountain."

Gao Shanhe was a little stunned: "..."

After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Uncle San, is there anything strange in the west mountain of our village?"

"How would I know? Our ancestors never mentioned it. The only rule passed down from above is that at the end of the year we have to go to the old temple to make offerings and worship the mountain god. They didn't mention anything else, so I'm curious."

The two groups of people were hiding here and whispering to each other. On a rock not far away, a woman in gorgeous clothes was sitting upright. It was none other than Tu Huan who flew over in a flash.

At first, she went downstairs first.

The people below were courting death, and she realized that someone was hiding in the valley, so she quietly came to Gao Shanhe.

What exactly happened on the West Mountain? The villagers in this village should know, right?

She planned to "eavesdrop" on what Gao Shanhe and the others were saying.

The result was a bit regrettable. Even Gao Lizheng, who arrived later, didn't know what was on the other side of Xishan.

The people below had been busy for a long time, but it seemed they were not ready yet. As soon as Tu Huan came up, the system issued a series of alarms to her.

It was obvious that the good luck that almost caused him to be struck by lightning when he entered the village was in this West Mountain.

The system was disturbed and wanted to take her away, but Tu Huan refused. She wanted to know what this group of people were doing here to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth?

She told the system: "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you continue to complete the mission."

The system exposed her thoughts: [Host, you just want to know what the destiny of Gaojia Village is.]

Tu Huan: “Yes!”

She had a hunch that the things in the West Mountain must be extraordinary.

"Maybe there's something good out there, and we can get rich by just picking it up."

The system is silent...

Suddenly I felt a little moved.
