What a lucky world!

Chapter 158: Our mother’s conspiracy, what’s wrong with the child copying…

Hearing Zhang Mu's question, Wei Wuyou frowned and thought for a moment.

"We don't know the number of soldiers in the Frost Moon Martial Village, but judging by their size, they should have more than us. We estimate there are around 800 soldiers..."

There is a basic understanding here that once you enter the Qi Condensation Realm, you can become a warrior, and only those who have reached the third level of Qi Condensation or above can be called combat soldiers.

Speaking of which, the escorts in Yuanwei Escort Agency were originally divided according to the specifications of combat soldiers.

Zhang Mu nodded and said, "The difference between us is not that big. If we talk about defense, we even have the advantage."

It has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, not to mention the Wuzhai rooted in Qianyuan Mountain, so the defense is naturally impeccable.

Wei Wuyou agreed with Zhang Mu's assessment and continued, "When it comes to the strength of the Yangye Realm, our Qianyuan Martial Village is undoubtedly number one among the many martial villages in Taiping County!"

"The village chief has reached the perfect state of the Yangye realm."

"Brother Xuanxiu is in the late stage of Yangye Realm."

"The old man and Shisanniang are in the middle stage of Yangye Realm."

"Now there are you and Ye Hanzhou in the village, both of you are in the early stage of Yangye Realm."

"On the other hand, according to the latest intelligence, Frost Moon Martial Village only has four people in the Yangye Realm, known as the Frost Moon Four Evils."

"Tigers at the foot of the mountain, pythons in the forest, cranes in the clouds, dragons in the waves,"

"They are all in the middle stage of the Yangye Realm."

"Although Sha Tonghai, the former leader of Shuangyue Village, had also reached the Perfection of the Yangye Realm, he was no match for the village leader."

"But now Sha Tonghai has attached himself to a noble, gained benefits, and advanced to the Gathering Gallantry Realm!"

Having said this, Wei Wuyou paused for a moment before continuing, "But according to my judgment, Sha Tonghai's Judan realm is on an unorthodox path, and his combat power may not be that strong. He should be about equal to the village chief."

After hearing Wei Wuyou's words, Zhang Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wei Wuyou said that his father could cross levels and fight against Sha Tonghai at the perfect level of Yangye Realm, so he naturally believed it.

But after experiencing the events at Fenglin Villa, Zhang Mu knew one more thing—

The state of gathering courage can break the courage in a battle!
He didn't know if Sha Tonghai had the courage to do so. He estimated that he didn't, but what if?
That would be like using your dad as a pawn!

They can't afford to gamble.

"Is it likely that Dad will advance to the Gallbladder Gathering Realm?" Zhang Mu suddenly asked. "Dad has been in seclusion. He has already reached the Perfection of the Nourishing Fluid Realm. He should be striving for the Gallbladder Gathering Realm, right?"

Speaking of which, this time when Zhang Mu returned to the mountain, he had not seen his father. According to Wei Wuyou, his father was in seclusion.

But after Zhang Mu finished speaking, he saw that Wei Wuyou and Shisan Niang both had strange expressions on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Mu asked.

"Well... the village chief is in seclusion not to break through to the Judan realm, but to recuperate!" Wei Wuyou said softly.

"Recovering from injury?" Zhang Mu's expression changed, and he stood up suddenly. "Dad is injured? When did it happen? Who injured him? Is it serious?"

"Brother Mu, don't be anxious. Listen to me..." Shisan Niang quickly pulled Zhang Mu and motioned him to sit down before saying, "No one hurt him. It's an old injury. He has to go into seclusion every year to recuperate."

Hearing what Shisanniang said, Zhang Mu finally felt relieved. He just wondered, "What old injury? Can't it be cured?"

"This matter... you can ask the village chief yourself when you have the chance..." Wei Wuyou played Tai Chi, avoiding Zhang Mu's question and continued, "But what is certain is that due to his injuries, he has no hope of reaching the Gallbladder Condensation Realm."

Zhang Mu looked at Shisan Niang, who nodded, agreeing with Wei Wuyou's statement.

Zhang Mu pondered for a moment, then said to Wei Wuyou, "Master Wei, the fundamental conflict between Frost Moon Mountain and us is actually the Green Forest Stronghold Alliance. There's no life-and-death feud, right?"

"Not counting the personal grudges between the village chief and Sha Tongtian, it's indeed because of that so-called mountain stronghold alliance." Wei Wuyou nodded, "But as I said before, this so-called alliance is simply a force he assembled for the people behind the scenes, acting as a vanguard."

"I think it's great!" Zhang Mu suddenly laughed.

Wei Wuyou looked at Zhang Mu, sighed softly, and shook his head: "I know what you are thinking!"

"Are you trying to take over the so-called alliance authority by taking advantage of others' strength?" "That won't work!"

"Sha Tonghai is no fool. He naturally has countless ways to sow discord within the alliance, or to cultivate agents. In short, he will determine a series of rules that are most beneficial to them."

"We can find allies, but—"

"You have to know that people's hearts are hidden behind their stomachs!"

"Only by clearly opposing them can we win the trust and support of other copycats. If we feign flattery, even if we know it's a ploy, other copycats might not see it that way, and we might end up making things worse."

"Besides, only the name and the tool cannot be shared with others!"

"Once we join this alliance, our luck will inevitably merge, and it will be difficult for us to escape."

Wei Wuyou said a lot of things in one breath, trying to make Zhang Mu give up this dangerous idea.

"Master Wei, you're overthinking it." Zhang Mu shook his head. "I haven't considered agreeing to Shuangyue Mountain's proposal to join some ridiculous alliance!"

"Then what did you mean when you said it was fine just now?" Wei Wuyou asked puzzledly.

"I mean, the idea of establishing an alliance is a good one." Zhang Mu raised his eyebrows.

Wei Wuyou was even more puzzled. Shisanniang said in a gentle voice, "Brother Mu, what exactly are you thinking? Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us and we can discuss it together."

Zhang Mu heard this and stopped holding back. He said, "My idea is very simple. Sha Tonghai wants to establish the Green Forest Alliance, so we can do the same..."

Create a small group!

Basic survival rules for adults!
"They're afraid of being eaten by Frost Moon Mountain, but aren't they afraid of being eaten by Qianyuan Mountain?" Wei Wuyou said, "Isn't this just taking sides?"

"No, no, no, this alliance is not that alliance." Zhang Mu waved his hand. "Frost Moon Mountain really wants to eat them. Just like what Master Wei said just now, once they join, even their luck will be integrated!"

"But we don't form that kind of alliance!"

"For example, if we gather three or four cottages and do business together, we can call it the Bianshui Alliance."

"Get five or six more mountain strongholds together to eliminate some monsters in the deep mountains and hold a monster-killing convention."

"We can also bring in some of the other bandits, conduct more martial arts exchanges, and organize some joint resistance exercises..."

"Everyone maintains their independence, but there are always some things we can collaborate on in depth!"

“We don’t have to form an alliance, but we can do certain things together.”

"In this process, we will improve the strength and luck of the village..."

After hearing Zhang Mu's plan, Wei Wuyou and Shisan Niang were stunned for a moment, and then their faces looked strange.

Still... can we still do this?
In fact, Zhang Mu's idea was purely copied from others.

It’s okay for us to make some money together, right?

He has resources, and I lack raw materials. We are mainly doing an internal resource exchange. Isn't that illegal?

You see, I have no military alliance, and I'm not targeting you...

But, as we unite, we suddenly realize that we can live comfortably without you...

This idea is an open conspiracy with no solution!
"I think it's feasible!" Wei Wuyou nodded after some thought, "But the specific method still needs to be carefully planned..."

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Wei." After Zhang Mu came up with the idea, he began to pass on the blame, "After all, I'm not familiar with the situation in each village..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuyou sighed to Shisan Niang, "The old one threw a lot of things at me, and now the young one is throwing a lot of things at me too. My life is so miserable..."

Shisanniang said with a smile: "Brother Mu has come up with a solution, which has been a great help. You old man should not be ungrateful..."

Wei Wuyou was about to say something else when there was a knock on the door.

Following Zhang Mu's call for help, a soldier from the stronghold walked into the room, saluted the three men, and without waiting for any questions, said directly, "Military Advisor, Third Master, Young Master, something's happened..."
