When the vanguard arrived early, they had already arranged everything.

Su Yong did a good job and it is still an independent garden.

The area is very large.

And the environment is very good.

Settle down.

The sun has set.

The cook went to prepare dinner, and Zhao Hao and Su Yong replanned the next course of action.

On the third day after Zhao Hao arrived in Shang'an City, more detailed information finally came back.

Heiyun Village has no less than ten strongholds outside the mountain.

There are dozens or even hundreds of people in each stronghold.

There are nearly a thousand people in total.

However, the real base camp is still in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After entering the mountain, you have to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to reach your destination.

According to the hunters in the mountains, there are more than a thousand people in the village.

The exact number is unknown.

The village was built on a mountain and after years of construction, it has become impregnable.

The specific situation is unknown.

At present, there are at least three thousand bandits in the entire Black Cloud Village.

There were some discrepancies between the information Su Yong had obtained in Si Shui earlier, but they were not too big.

At present, the dozen or so strongholds outside the mountain are basically doing business frantically and preparing for the winter.

However, merchants are also aware of this situation, so since September, there have been very few caravans traveling within their sphere of influence.

After receiving the report, Zhao Hao nodded slightly.

If there were only three thousand people, then the difficulty wouldn't be too great.

However, we still have to explore the specific situation of the village in the mountains before we can be sure.

After waiting in Shang'an City for another three or four days, the people sent out still could not find out the specific situation of the Black Cloud Village in the mountains.

This made Zhao Hao a little restless.

Su Yong said quickly, "Master, you can't take the risk yourself. Let me go and find out the details of Black Cloud Village."

Zhao Hao thought about it and decided that there was really no need to go there in person.

He nodded immediately, looked at Su Yong and said, "Brother Su, do you know how to disguise yourself?"

Su Yong was stunned when he heard this: "Disguise? I don't understand this!"

Zhao Hao nodded slightly. He was the son of a big family and had never been around, so it was normal for him not to understand these things.

He immediately looked at Wu Song beside him and said, "Brother Wu, Miss Hongye, please teach Lord Su."

Wu Song nodded, and the two of them took Su Yong downstairs.

A day later, Su Yong, who had completely become a different person, took a few of his close associates and left Shang'an City on horseback.

Looking at Su Yongyuan leaving, Zhao Hao didn't feel relieved.

Wu Song said from the side: "Sir, if you are really worried, why don't you let me go with Lord Su?"

Now, Zhao Hao has Hongye by his side, as well as a team of about a hundred Qingqi people. There is no problem with safety at all, so he can leave with peace of mind.

"After all, Lord Su has never been to the underworld, so he doesn't know the rules of the Green Forest Way."

"If an accident occurs, it will probably be difficult to resolve."

Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Wu Er to make the trip."

Wu Song said quickly, "Don't worry, sir. I will bring Lord Su back safe and sound, and find out the situation of the Black Cloud Village."

Zhao Hao warned: "The Black Cloud Village has stood firm for many years, so it must have some outstanding qualities."

"Brother Wu, you must not be careless."

"If it's impossible."

"Don't force it!"

Wu Song nodded, mounted his horse, and chased after Su Yong.

This wait lasted another five days.

During these five days, there was no news about Wusong and Su Yong.

Zhao Hao became more and more anxious as he waited.

Finally, on the sixth night, the two finally came back.

Wusong was seriously injured.

Su Yong was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

Zhao Hao quickly called over an imperial physician and two young disciples to treat the two men.

Wu Song was fine, it was just a skin injury. After a simple bandage, Zhao Hao called him aside and asked him about it in detail.

"Brother Wu, what happened? Why was Lord Su injured so badly?"

Wu Song took a deep breath and said quickly: "Sir, after I caught up with Lord Su, we entered the mountains together."

"We disguised ourselves as hunters and carefully moved deeper, getting closer to the direction of the Black Cloud Village."

"At the same time, we also found a real hunter in the mountains to serve as a guide."

"Who knew that we would underestimate the Black Cloud Village?"

"It turns out that the hunter guide we found is from Black Cloud Village."

"After discovering that we were approaching Black Cloud Village, I don't know how they secretly passed on the message."

"When we were not far from Black Cloud Village, we were ambushed from the dark."

"There were a dozen of us in total, fighting nearly two hundred bandits."

"After a hard battle, the rest of the brothers..."

"It was just me and Lord Su, and I fought very hard to get Lord Su out."

"Sir, I suspect that there are one or two hunters in that mountain who are from Black Cloud Village."

"They are probably all Black Cloud bandits."

"It's just that they are scattered all over the place, and they are specifically there to act as spies."

"As long as someone goes into the mountains, these scattered hunters can find them."

"Then pass the message to the village through special means."

Zhao Hao's face looked grim. He knew that the Black Cloud Village was not simple. He did not expect that a group of bandits were so well prepared.
