Chapter 517 I feel sorry for his little wife.
Everyone was shocked!
Is that really the case?
So everyone gathered around. Those most familiar with Meigu Mountain were probably the herb gatherers from Zhucheng villages and towns.
But there are no herb gatherers here.
The group looked at each other, realizing the clues couldn't be too far off, and with limited time, it must be within the area designated by the royal family.
"Open the fan and take a look," Gu Qingyue reminded her from the side.
After a series of clanging sounds of swords and knives being thrown, there was a rustling sound of folding fans being opened.
Gu Qingyue looked around speechlessly. She could study it by opening just a few fans. Did so many people really need to open their fans?
After a heated discussion, everyone finally turned their attention to Mu Yun Chu and Gu Qing Yue.
They didn't see it.
Gu Qingyue looked at them, who all seemed like idiots, and felt a little like laughing, but she had to keep it in check.
Mu Yun Chu had just opened the fan and glanced at it a few times when she deduced that the next clue was in Jiuchong Ridge.
That place happened to be the point where sunlight intersected, the geographical dividing line between Lingnan and Lingxi. Qin Fang also added the distribution area of the five-step snake, so the location was quickly determined.
Everyone forgot that the Qin family also had a very profitable medicinal herb business, and had many opportunities to deal with herb farmers.
Among the locations that simultaneously meet the two conditions of 'Five Steps Yin and Yang' and are within the designated area, only Jiuchong Ridge is the only one.
After the two confirmed the location, they looked up and saw that everyone was still arguing fiercely, so they waited in silence.
“At Jiuchong Ridge!” Gu Qingyue exclaimed.
With a 'buzz------' sound, the crowd gathered around again.
"At Jiuchong Ridge? That place isn't far; it only takes half a day to get there. Could it be here?"
Wan Qingwei asked.
Gu Qingyue gestured for him to ask Mu Yun Chu.
Mu Yun Chu nodded again, expressionless.
So, without even taking a break, everyone immediately started clamoring to set off.
Qin Fang stopped them.
"Let's rest for two hours first. Since it's not far, wouldn't it be better to set off when we're well-rested?"
He was very perceptive. When everyone said it was time to set off, Mu Yun Chu immediately frowned and glanced worriedly at Princess Li beside him. Clearly, he felt sorry for his little wife.
Ha ha!
As a friend, he had to step forward and say a few words.
Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, everyone instinctively looked at Mu Yun Chu, who nodded.
Gu Qingyue really couldn't hold back anymore.
In fact, Mu Yun Chu's current identity is the owner of Plum Blossom Manor, Young Master Rong.
He engaged in robbery and plunder, as well as helping the poor. He had a little bit of influence, but absolutely no official power. For some reason, the people of the Huben and Hacha tribes now regard him as their leader, which is quite strange.
The reason is actually quite simple: most of these tribes admired Young Master Rong because of his formidable strength.
In particular, the skill he displayed today during his fight against that young master who spoke rudely to Wan Jinyou.
If there is anyone present who is powerful enough to subdue everyone, it is only Young Master Rong.
In this world, the strong rule!
Along the way, many young men looked at Mu Yun Chu with burning eyes and great respect.
Especially Wan Jinyou, and Nian Chengqiao with squinty eyes.
The two would occasionally steal glances at Mu Yun Chu's back, and certain thoughts began to secretly sprout, such as wanting to become his disciples.
Mu Yun Chu and Gu Qing Yue were naturally unaware of the young man's thoughts.
After resting for another two hours, the group finally set off.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the group extinguished their torches and continued their arduous journey.
It was difficult not because the road was hard to travel, but because we encountered many wild beasts.
They encountered badgers, wolves, and even a black bear, which wasn't very big but was very strong, causing quite a bit of chaos for everyone.
They all suspected that someone had deliberately released it from the deep mountains. Although the areas selected for the previous Heavenly Sacrifice were all different and fraught with danger, such a large wild beast had never appeared before.
Fortunately, there were many people, and they were all highly skilled in martial arts, so taking down a bear was no problem for them.
As dawn approached, the group finally arrived at the foot of Jiuchongling Mountain.
As the name suggests, Jiuchongling is a mountain with nine peaks. The highest peak is called the main peak of Jiuchongling, and that's where everyone is going.
The morning breeze was very refreshing, and the rising sun was just peeking out between the mountain peaks, its red glow shining brightly. Bathed in the morning light, everyone looked to be in good spirits, despite having traveled for most of the night.
"Watch out!" Gu Qingyue was turning to talk to Mu Yun Chu when Wan Qingwei, who was walking at the very back, suddenly called out urgently.
The next instant, a hail of arrows flew over like meteors, bathed in the morning sunlight, with a startlingly sharp edge.
The peaceful and relaxed atmosphere just moments before instantly turned tense and hostile.
"Be on guard!" Gu Qingyue shouted, casually taking out her triangular military dagger.
It's a bit longer than a dagger, so it's more than capable of blocking arrows.
Everyone drew their longswords and scimitars, and with a clang, all the incoming arrows were knocked down. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Clearly, someone was hiding at the crossroads everyone had to pass through, looking down from the high slope on the other side and shooting arrows down. How cunning! But the location was very well chosen.
Everyone ran forward while blocking the arrows. They had just run out of the range of the continuous rain of arrows, and before they could even catch their breath, Nian Chengqiao, who was running at the front, suddenly lost his footing and fell downwards.
There are traps!
"Niancheng Bridge!" Another Tiger Clan boy running behind him hurriedly reached out to grab it, but grasped at empty air.
As Nian Chengqiao fell, he tried to grab the edge of the trap, but unexpectedly, the soil next to the trap loosened, and he fell in after only a moment.
"Ah-----" He looked at the gleaming arrow below the trap and could almost foresee how horribly and miserably he would die!
But in the next instant, his shoulder was gripped tightly.
He barely stopped falling; at that moment, his feet were less than two inches from the arrow below the trap, a truly perilous situation.
Nian Chengqiao let out a long sigh of relief. A moment later, he was lifted up and sat on the ground, panting heavily like a terrified dog.
"How are you? Feeling better?"
Nian Chenghe squatted down beside him, looking at his cousin with an indescribable expression.
"Thank you so much, cousin! I was so scared!" Nian Chengqiao patted his chest, where his heart was still pounding.
"You should thank someone else, not me!" Nian Chenghe said with a strange expression.
"Oh, who saved me?" Nian Chengqiao stood up, supporting himself on the arm of the boy next to him.
“It’s Wan Jinyou,” Nian Chenghe continued, “He just dislocated his arm while saving you.”
Although the boy was not old, he was tall and slender, about the same size as an adult, so his weight was naturally not light.
Nianchengqiao: A bolt from the blue!
How could it be that annoying, arrogant hypocrite who saved him?!
