Chapter 74: People Playing Chess



Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "I was born to be useful. Boy, even if it's a pile of dog shit, it has its uses. Don't be discouraged."

"God has gifted me, and I shall use it for good." That's a true saying! But why can't he be happy? Is he a piece of shit?

"Sir, the military situation is urgent and we cannot delay. Please..." Before Ren Gang could finish his words, Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Kid, some things aren't as simple as you think. This isn't something you, a mere soldier, should worry about. They're playing chess! You're just insignificant pieces, so don't get too involved."

After Zhang Sanfeng finished speaking, he walked to the big rock. It didn't seem like he used much strength, but just a light push. The big rock moved away from its original position, leaving a big hole in its place.

Ren Gang was still pondering what he had said. Playing chess? He was a chess piece? What did that mean?

Huh? When did this huge hole appear here? Isn't this right under the wall of the pass? Where does such a huge hole lead to? Damn it! I'm the commander of this place.

"Go down!" Zhang Sanfeng said to Ren Gang.

"Where does this cave lead to?" Ren Gang asked.

"Will you know everything if you go there?" Zhang Sanfeng smiled and pushed him down.

Then a scream was heard from the bottom of the cave.

Ren Gang stood up, holding his butt. The entrance to the cave was just big enough for one person to walk through.

Zhang Sanfeng picked up a torch from the ground and lit it with a fire starter.

"Here, just take this torch and move forward. It will be quick." Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile.

"Hurry?" Ren Gang looked suspicious after taking the torch.

The two walked into the cave, one in front and one behind.

After walking for about five or six minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the cave. The entrance was also blocked by a huge rock. Ren Gang tried to push it, but it didn't move at all.

"This piece is iron ore, which is heavier than ordinary stones." After Zhang Sanfeng said this, he squeezed to the front and almost squeezed Ren Gang into a stick.

As expected, a master is a master! Zhang Sanfeng pushed the boulder away without any effort at all.

"Old man, what kind of martial arts are these?" Ren Gang looked a little jealous. There is no one in the army who is not good at martial arts.

Zhang Sanfeng asked with a smile, "Do you want to learn?"

Ren Gang nodded quickly. Yes! I want to learn.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and shook his head, saying, "I won't teach you."

"Won't teach me?" "Why are you asking if I won't teach you?" "Why are you laughing if I won't teach you?" Ren Gang thought he was going to teach him. But the fat old man's answer almost gave him a backache.

Zhang Sanfeng was the first to come out of the cave, and Ren Gang followed closely behind.

"This means, we have left Jingmen Pass?" Ren Gang widened his eyes. He never expected that there would be a tunnel at such an important pass?

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and asked, "You'd never guess it, would you? This place is leaking like a sieve. What's the point of guarding it?"

Ren Gang nodded bewilderedly. Yeah! Why defend it? The Northern Barbarian Army attacked without much effort.

He couldn't help but think of what the man holding the soft sword said, that people like them were like sheep, just food in the eyes of wild beasts.

"Let's go! Follow me around." Zhang Sanfeng said and left.

"Oh!" Ren Gang now has nowhere to go. The old man said he is a chess piece, so who is the person playing chess?

He couldn't figure it out, this old man must know something, then he followed him, wanting to see what the plan was.

After a night's rest, Lin Feng and his group continued on their journey.

Xiao Hei was energetic and tireless, and he moved very quickly. Just before noon, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.

Lin Feng looked at the mountain and asked Han Shan, "Uncle, is this the crater?"

This mountain is very strange. It is an arc-shaped mountain with a height of several hundred meters. The mountain is bare with few trees and even rare weeds. There are rock fragments everywhere.

There was a gentle slope in front of them, about fifty or sixty meters long. There was a gap on the gentle slope, and there were many tire tracks here. It seemed that this was a place where people came and went, and it was not so desolate.

"That should be it. The disciples in the sect said that after entering this gap, there is the entrance to a large cave. The cave is full of water, and there are large ships responsible for ferrying people across. There are also many defensive stone forts in the cave, so it is not easy for outsiders to enter." Han Shan introduced.

In fact, he had only heard about it and was not very clear about the specific situation.

Lin Feng nodded. If it was just as Han Shan said, then this place was a good place. In such a chaotic time, having a place to settle down was a blessing.

"Let's go! Xiao Hei." Lin Feng said to Xiao Hei.

"Moo!" Xiao Hei pulled the frame up the gentle slope without any effort.

After a while, everyone came to the gap in the mountain. From the outside, there was nothing much, no road signs or place names, and no signs of artificial excavation.

“Crash!”

As soon as I walked into the gap, I saw a large cave. The sound of flowing water could be heard from the cave, and a slight cool breeze blew out of the cave.

"Who are you?"

A voice shouted loudly, but I could only hear the sound but not see the person.

Others couldn't see it, but Han Shan and Lin Feng had already seen it. Han Shan could see it because he had good ears and eyes. By listening to the sounds and determining the location, ordinary people could not escape.

Lin Feng could also see that it was more because of the transformation of his body by the spiritual spring water, which gave him more outstanding abilities than ordinary people.

The person who was shouting was above the cave, where a stone path was carved out. The path led to a disguised small stone cave, and he was hiding inside.

"Brother, we are here to seek refuge." Lin Feng clasped his fists and said in his direction.

"Seeking refuge? You are not welcome here." The man responded rudely.

Han Shan asked, "Someone from my sect has been here before, and we got here with his guidance."

"People from a sect? What sect are you from?" the man asked loudly.

Han Shan said loudly: "We are from the Qingjian Sect, and this is my warrior order."

"Oh? Qingjian Sect?"

A big man stuck his head out and looked at the warrior order in Han Shan's hand.

"Because of the war outside the mountain, the road has been blocked. Please leave here and make a living elsewhere!" The big man did not give Han Shan face, but his tone was more polite. It was obvious that the Qingjian Sect was still the top one in the world.

Han Shan put away his warrior order and said coldly, "My disciples once bought a courtyard in the name of the Qingjian Sect, so I can also be considered a property owner in the town. I want to go home, why are you stopping me?"

The man looked embarrassed after hearing this and clasped his fists towards Han Shan and said, "My dear, it's not that I'm not letting you in, but the owner of this place has changed."

"Who is in charge now?" Han Shan asked.
