"Qinghe Gang, Lianping Cult?"
Wei Yunlan, who had already returned to the back mountain, was surprised to hear the two names from Yu Qi, "Are these all gangs?"
She had heard of the former, and it seemed to be a large gang with influence in the south, and was quite powerful in water transportation. She had never heard of the latter, perhaps it was a local gang in Lianzhou?
“I didn’t expect that Tianshu Pavilion is also connected with people in the martial arts world.” Wei Yunlan said with emotion.
Yu Qi's eyes were filled with an inexplicable light, "Then in Miss Wei's eyes, what kind of place is our Tianshu Pavilion?"
Isn't it a gang force?
Wei Yunlan was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this question.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't seem to think of Tianshu Pavilion as a martial arts organization. Compared to the free and unrestrained people in the martial arts world, Tianshu Pavilion seemed more like an organization with a good management system and close ties with Dayong...
But unfortunately, it does not belong to the Yong Dynasty court or the royal family.
After all, when the city gate was broken in the previous life, the people of Tianshu Pavilion didn’t care about the lives of the emperor, the second prince, and those high-ranking officials of the court, but only protected the people in the capital.
"What kind of organization is Tianshu Pavilion?"
Doubt appeared in Wei Yunlan's eyes.
Yu Qi raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Miss Wei, I was the one who asked you this first."
“…”
Wei Yunlan was ready to give a good answer. "In my eyes, Tianshu Pavilion is a very just, chivalrous organization that is dedicated to the country and the people. Your Pavilion Master must love this country very much."
Hearing this answer, Yu Qi's eyes flashed with surprise.
If there is anyone in this world who values Zhong Yong the most, and values the prosperous era left by the late emperor.
That must be their master without a doubt.
Unexpectedly, Miss Wei understood their master so well.
…
Nightfall.
This is the third night that the Wei family will spend in the mountains.
Listening to the occasional howling of wolves coming from the deep forest in the distance, Gao's heart felt like it was boiling in a pot, up and down.
"Lan'er said that Tianshu Pavilion will take action tonight. Lan'er and Mingxuan are both there, so nothing will happen, right?"
When in Beijing, Gao was always calm and composed.
Even when she was intercepted by refugees on the way to exile, she was able to deal with it calmly. This was the first time she looked so panic-stricken.
"Mom, why don't we go up and see what the situation is?" Cheng Yue'e suggested softly.
"No." Gao rejected it outright. "Lan'er followed because of Heiyun. We are all powerless. If we go up now, we will only cause trouble for them."
But sitting there doing nothing was not a good idea. Gao turned her eyes to Doctor Yu, who was gnawing on a chicken leg beside the fire. "Doctor Yu, do you have a prescription for mixing some drugs that can be used to treat wild animals?"
"Drugs..."
Old Doctor Yu stroked his gray beard. Most doctors would not have such prescriptions. He actually knew a few, but even a skilled cook cannot cook without the rice.
He could only spread his hands and said: "I do have the recipe, but I don't have that many herbs on hand." He knew very well what herbs the Wei family had in stock.
Gao sighed regretfully. Old Doctor Yu sat back holding the chicken leg. He glanced at the jumping flames on the fire and suddenly thought of a folk remedy that children in the mountain village would use when they were playing tricks.
"Grind charcoal and itchy grass into powder, mix them together, and sprinkle them on the skin to cause extreme itching." This method is not only useful for humans, but also for wild animals.
"Itchy grass is everywhere. I'll teach you how to identify it."
Just as the Wei family, young and old, joined together and began to grind the medicine powder.
On the hillside, Wei Yunlan stood at the highest point and looked towards the mine.
From where they were, they could just see the mountain entrance to the mine.
It was approaching the hour of Chou, and it was almost time for the Northern Barbarian Leader to bring his men to transport the ore.
It's almost time for the action to begin.
Standing on the mountain, waiting for this sudden change, Wei Yunlan felt quite excited. It was as if he was about to follow the armored warriors into battle to kill the enemy.
"Here it comes." A reminder sounded in my ears.
Wei Yunlan looked carefully and saw a number of black dots appearing at the intersection of the mountain road below. From far away, they got closer and closer, and he could see clearly that they were a team transporting ore.
Just like the people from the night before, the leader was still the burly barbarian who was two heads taller than the steward.
The two men didn't exchange a few words before the barbarian waved his hand and asked the people he brought to start loading the ore onto the car.
At this moment, the sound of fire and horse hooves came again from the mountain road.
Two teams of people, one in green and one in red, rushed in from the mountain road at the same time and blocked the team led by the barbarian leader in the mine, leaving them no chance to leave.
The war is about to break out.
The barbarian man was the first to draw his sword and chopped at the two teams.
It can be seen that his moves are not complicated, but his strength is truly extraordinary, and few people can handle his bold and powerful moves.
However, the two teams were smart enough not to focus on him alone, and only sent out three or four people to contain him, while the rest fought together with his guards. Due to their numerical advantage, they quickly gained the upper hand.
At this time, the mine manager pointed to the sky and released fireworks to send signals.
The blue and red teams clearly saw it, but did not stop it. When Wei Yunlan saw this scene, he knew that the real battle was just about to begin.
The people from Tianshu Pavilion want to lure out the mastermind behind the black iron mine so that they can take advantage of this opportunity to catch him in one fell swoop!
More and more people poured into the valley, and the mine became a mess.
The heroes of the Qinghe Gang and the Lianping Sect were agile and quick, and they killed several mine foremen in the blink of an eye. The remaining people were frightened and fled in all directions, while trying to capture refugees to protect them.
At this moment, a team of well-equipped soldiers rushed in from the outside of the mountain road. Seeing this, the miners' eyes were filled with hope again.
Before the soldiers approached, Wei Mingxuan shouted in the chaotic crowd, "Everyone, follow me and run over here!"
After shouting, he started running towards the back mountain. Wang Gui and several refugees who had become friends with them in the past two days followed closely behind him. Seeing this, many people also ran up.
After running a short distance, someone stopped and said, "No, this is the direction of the back mountain!"
"There are wolves in the back hills. We can't run over there."
"If I don't run, am I going to be a scapegoat for those people? I'd rather be bitten to death by the wolves!"
There were many different opinions, and Wei Mingxuan stood up and said, "I have a way to avoid the wolves."
He did not explain more, but just said: "Everyone, whether to stay here and be killed by the barbarians and their lackeys, or to go to the mountains and fight for a way out, it's your choice!"
After just a moment's hesitation, the refugees made their choice.
“Go up the mountain!”
"Even if we don't die if we stay here, we will be enslaved by them. It's better to go up the mountain and fight for a chance of survival!"
