The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 160

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled without hesitation.

"Then thank you very much, Master Jia."

The men who had been waiting there couldn't hold back any longer, and when they heard the middle-aged man relent, they cheered.

"Thank you, Master Jia."

"Master Jia is truly righteous!"

"Master Jia is a good man. He even thinks of us. He's much better than that damned Sima Da."

"It's time to let Master Jia lead us. Master Jia is the one everyone wants!"

Hearing these words, Mr. Mo chuckled and then said, "There's still a lot of food and drink that hasn't been moved over yet. We're a bit short-handed. Everyone, come with me to help move it. It's just ahead."

"okay!"

Immediately, everyone followed Mr. Mo to leave and move things, leaving only Liu Qin and a few others to guard the place.

Liu Qin looked serious and focused, scanning the surroundings. When he estimated that the time was up, he suddenly looked in one direction, opened his eyes wide, and shouted.

"who!"

His loud shouts attracted the attention of the others, who all looked around.

"What happened?"

Liu Qin's gaze sharpened as she pointed in a certain direction. "There's movement over there, follow me!"

After saying that, he rushed over.

The others were surprised and uncertain, and quickly ran over.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Ning appeared and began climbing the mountain, disappearing shortly afterward.

Chapter 227 is at least much better than Ning Yanwang.

After a while, Liu Qin and the others came back, one of them complaining a bit.

"Young Master Liu, why are you making such a fuss? There's nothing there."

"Blame me, blame me."

Liu Qin chuckled and looked up.

Jiang Ning climbed all the way up and finally reached the top of the back mountain of the North Peak.

The surroundings were dark and silent, as if no one was watching, but as Jiang Ning approached, a loud shout suddenly came from ahead.

"Death!"

Before the person arrived, the sound came first, accompanied by a handful of lime powder being sprinkled over.

Jiang Ning recognized the voice, waved his hand, used his internal force to disperse the lime powder, and shouted at the same time.

"Sixth Senior Brother, it's me, Jiang Ning."

Lu Dayou, who was about to continue sprinkling lime powder, stopped when he heard this familiar voice.

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning?"

"Ah."

Jiang Ning replied.

Lu Dayou moved a little closer and realized that it really was Jiang Ning, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Junior brother, you're finally back! Why were you gone for so long? Master was so worried about you. If you hadn't come back, Master would have gone down the mountain himself."

As Lu Dayou spoke, several figures appeared, all of them second-generation disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

"It took some time."

Upon hearing Lu Dayou's words, Jiang Ning offered an explanation, then asked, "Where is Master?"

Lu Dayou said, "Let's rest in the pavilion over at Jin Suo Guan."

"I have urgent business with my master, so I'll take my leave now."

After learning Yue Buqun's location, Jiang Ning prepared to leave.

"it is good."

Seeing how urgent Jiang Ning's situation was, did Lu Da ask any further questions?

Jiang Ning traveled all the way to Jin Suo Pass, encountering many disciples of the Five Mountains Alliance along the way. After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with them, he continued on his way to Jin Suo Pass. Upon arrival, he found Yue Buqun standing on a high platform, gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

"Master."

Jiang Ning stepped forward and whispered.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Yue Buqun paused and turned around abruptly.

"Ning'er."

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun was overjoyed.

"When did you come back?"

"Just a short time ago."

Jiang Ning replied, and then asked about Ning Zhongze and the others.

"Where are Master's wife, Uncle Dingyi, and Uncle Tianmen?"

"Your master's wife and two nuns, Dingyi and Dingjing, have gone back to rest. Daoist Tianmen and your Uncle Feng are guarding the Thousand-Foot Cottage."

Yue Buqun replied, then looked Jiang Ning up and down. Finding no injuries, he was relieved and asked, "Why did it take you so long to come down the mountain this time? Did you see anyone from the Songshan Sect?"

"No."

Jiang Ning shook his head and then recounted what had happened to him at the foot of the mountain.

When Yue Buqun heard that Qingcheng Mountain had also come to help, he wasn't surprised. When he heard that Emei Sect had sent people to support them, he was slightly surprised but still pleased. However, when he heard that Master Mo had infiltrated the enemy's command post, Yue Buqun was stunned.

"You mean Mr. Mo is now the commander of that group down the mountain?"

Yue Buqun was speechless.

No wonder the troops below haven't attacked all these days, not even with a feint.

"Ah."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Yue Buqun was at a loss for words.

"By the way, Master, this is the gold medal awarded to me by the imperial court."

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered something and took the plaque out of his pocket.

"Court?"

Upon hearing those two words, Yue Buqun subconsciously frowned, then paused for a moment when he took the sign and saw the words on it.

"The Great Hero of Guanzhong?"

Why would the imperial court issue you this plaque?

Jiang Ning said, "Last time I killed Tian Boguang, the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture, out of gratitude, petitioned the court to reward me, which is why this plaque was issued."

Upon hearing these words, Yue Buqun frowned and remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Ning felt a little uneasy.

After a while.

"Since that's the case, then you can keep it."

Yue Buqun returned the gold medal to Jiang Ning.

"Don't worry about getting entangled with the imperial court, this is just an ordinary gold medal."

People in the martial arts world resent the imperial court, and those who work for the court are called lackeys and lackeys. Just like Liu Zhengfeng, who was granted official positions and titles, even if there hadn't been that incident before, and Liu Zhengfeng had successfully retired, he would still be despised.

However, Jiang Ning's situation is different from Liu Zhengfeng's. He was awarded a gold medal and title by the imperial court for killing Tian Boguang. It was essentially a recognition of his good deeds by the imperial court, and it had no other significance or impact.

Yue Buqun thought to himself.

Thinking about it this way, this gold medal isn't so hard to accept.

This is a good reputation, at least much better than Ning Yanwang.

The heroes of Guanzhong, listen to them, how upright they are.

Seeing that Yue Buqun showed no displeasure, Jiang Ning accepted the gold medal.

After digesting the news brought by Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun asked, "What is your current plan?"

Jiang Ning first explained the information that Mr. Mo had gathered, and then said...

“The people down the mountain are short of food. They probably won’t last long. They’ll either have to leave or go to the nearby city to get food.”

"Xi'an Prefecture is closest to Mount Hua. If they need to make purchases, they will most likely go to Xi'an Prefecture. At that time, we will cooperate with Mr. Mo to have him send some people to Xi'an Prefecture to buy grain. We will then set up an ambush on the only road from Mount Hua to Xi'an Prefecture and wipe them out."

This is only the first step. The second step is for Jiang Ning to take away the enemy's bows and arrows. The third step is to continue setting up ambushes and cooperate with Master Mo to gradually whittle down the twenty-odd first-rate people and the rest of the second-rate people. Although the next group of people are numerous, they are basically no longer a threat. At that time, the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Emei and Qingcheng sects outside will then surround and kill them.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's plan, Yue Buqun was somewhat tempted.

Although this plan is bold, with Mr. Mo's cooperation, it is not without the possibility of success.

"it is good!"

Yue Buqun agreed.

"Just do as you say."

Simply waiting is not a solution, but we need to find a way to take the initiative, and now is an opportunity.

"I'll go and discuss it with Daoist Tianmen and the others right away."

After saying that, Yue Buqun was about to leave, but Jiang Ning stopped him.

"Master, should we tell Uncle Tianmen and the others about the Emei Sect's affairs first?"

Jiang Ning hadn't told Master Mo about the internal affairs of the Emei Sect before, as he didn't know what the Emei Sect was thinking, so he didn't say anything first. But now that they were going to start planning and cooperating, the Emei Sect would definitely show up.

"Um……"

Yue Buqun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not say it yet. When we go down the mountain, we'll meet the people from the Emei Sect and see what they think. We can talk about it then."

"it is good."

Jiang Ning nodded, and Yue Buqun immediately went to Thousand-Foot Cottage. About half an hour later, Yue Buqun and Feng Buping came over.

"Master, please grant me the title of Martial Uncle."

Jiang Ning bowed to the two men.

“I have already told Master Tianmen about what happened and your plan. He is still guarding the Thousand-Foot Cliff. He will tell your master’s wife and Master Dingyi after they wake up. Let’s not delay, let’s go now.”

Yue Buqun has now become decisive and efficient.

Logically, in this situation, all the experts on the mountain should go down to help to increase the chances of victory. However, in order to prevent any accidents, it is necessary to leave some experts to guard the mountain. Yue Buqun plans that it will be enough for him, Feng Buping, and Jiang Ning to go down the mountain, while Tianmen Daoren and others will continue to guard Mount Hua to prevent any accidents from happening.

"it is good."

Jiang Ning nodded, and the three of them then headed towards the back of the mountain.

Chapter 228 If even the worst student is this amazing, the other four must be taking off!

"Master, Uncle-Master, Junior Brother, what brings you here?"

Lu Dayou and the other disciples, who were guarding the back mountain, were surprised to see the three of them arrive and wondered what had happened.

"It's nothing. Your uncle, junior brother, and I will go down the mountain. You all continue to guard here and don't let your guard down."

Yue Buqun said one sentence and then went down the mountain.

Two hours have passed since they set off from Jiangning, and there is only one hour left before Chenshi (7-9 AM) as Master Mo mentioned. They don't have much time left.
