What a lucky world!

Chapter 182 The murderer, Zhang Mu!

This time when Zhang Mu went to Bihu Water Village, he did not bring Xuan Ji with him.

If the identity of the guardian beast of Buddhism is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it may not be a good thing.

As for Ye Hanzhou...

At this moment, he was looking for monsters in Qianyuan Mountain to kill and level up. Besides, he was the hidden combat force of the village, so no one called him.

Of course, as the young leader, Zhang Mu couldn't travel alone.

So Han Wanli, who had just recovered from his injuries, selected twenty minions as guards and followed Zhang Mu on the road.

……

"This Bihu Water Village controls the only waterway among the many martial villages in Taiping County. Many smuggled goods cannot be loaded or unloaded at the official docks, so they go through them."

"Just by living on the water, we can make a lot of money every year!"

Zhang Mu listened and asked, "Such a good way to make money, no one is interested in it?"

"How come no one is interested in it?" Han Wanli laughed. "This Bihu Water Village is a popular place in the eyes of many people."

"It's just that the Bihu Water Village itself is quite powerful. After all, they are rich, so the minions are well trained."

"Secondly, the Biyue Lake is a natural barrier with a network of waterways. If we storm it, the losses will be unpredictable."

"Plus, each of us has trade routes that require waterways. Rather than letting it fall into the hands of others, it's better to maintain the status quo."

Zhang Mu nodded slightly when he heard this.

It seems that, perhaps for some reason, the Bihu Water Village is close to the Qianyuan Mountain Village, but in terms of fundamental interests, the Bihu Water Village should pursue absolute neutrality.

On the other hand, Bihu Water Village is not only unwilling to join the alliance proposed by Shuangyue Mountain, but is also the most unwilling to see the increase in Shuangyue Mountain's power.

After all, if Frost Moon Mountain could ignore the checks and balances of other forces and directly crush the Bihu Water Village, then this neutrality would be a joke.

With this thought in his mind, Zhang Mu probably understood the bottom line of Bihu Water Village.

Afterwards, Zhang Mu asked Han Wanli for some details about the Bihu Water Fort, and his impression of this water fort became clearer and clearer.

……

The lake is clear and transparent like a mirror.

Thirteenth Lady Fang Zhixuan stood by the lake, looking at the busy fleet at the dock, lost in thought.

At this time, a woman about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a plain jacket and a fiery red cloak, came riding a horse. When she was several feet in front of Fang Zhixuan, she suddenly pulled the reins, dismounted, and walked towards Fang Zhixuan.

"Sister Xuan'er, there's a letter from Qianyuan Village!" The girl spoke in a clear voice, and smiled as she took out a sealed note and handed it to Fang Zhixuan.

If it was a private letter, Fang Zhixuan would naturally have other channels. Now that the letter came out of the water village, it must be a reply about the water village's monster removal.

"You girl are so impetuous. You must find a strong husband who can control you in the future!" Fang Zhixuan first looked at the girl lovingly before taking the letter.

The girl pouted and said, "As warriors, we should be free and unrestrained. If my husband ever tries to control me in the future, I'll divorce him!"

Fang Zhixuan ignored the little girl's arrogant words, opened the letter and took a look, a smile appeared on her face again.

"Hmm? Sister Xuan'er, is there any good news?" Seeing this, the girl hurriedly put her arm around Fang Zhixuan's arm and asked in a soft voice.

Fang Zhixuan smiled and replied, "It's not a happy event."

"The village replied that the one coming to Bihu Water Village this time is our young leader!"

"Young Village Chief?" The girl thought for a moment, "Is he the adopted son of the old Village Chief Lin?"

Fang Zhixuan nodded: "That's him!"

"This time, he came to visit the Bihu Wuzhai as the young leader!"

The girl was stunned at first, then she reacted and her eyes widened: "This young village chief... has been decided?"

"Of course it's settled!" Fang Zhixuan raised her hand and pinched the girl's cheek. "In terms of age, he is only one year older than you."

"You can take a look at it this time. If you like it, how about coming back to Qianyuan Wuzhai with me?"

The girl raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said, "Then I want to see what kind of hero your young leader is."

"I have high standards!" "Then don't be dazzled by the sight!" Fang Zhixuan smiled and said, "Let's go and tell your master."

……

After two days of travel, Zhang Mu and his party entered Huzhou Prefecture, Taiping County.

There are two martial arts forts in Huzhou Prefecture. One is Yanping Wuzhai stationed on Yanping Mountain, and the other is Zhang Mu’s destination - Bihu Water Fort.

"Young leader, in another sixty miles we will reach the ferry crossing of Bihu Water Village. There should be someone there to pick us up," said Han Wanli.

Zhang Mu nodded, and suddenly saw a tea stall not far away, so he said, "Let's go to the tea stall in front and let the brothers have some hot tea and rest for a while before setting off."

Han Wanli nodded and called out to the men behind him. Drinking a cup of hot tea on such a cold day was naturally refreshing, so everyone sped up their horses.

Everyone rushed to the tea stall and had just ordered a few pots of tea when two people, one old and one young, walked in from outside the stall.

The old and young couple glanced at the tea stall, their eyes fell on Zhang Mu, and they walked towards Zhang Mu.

Seeing the person coming, Han Wanli subconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist. The other minions also felt something was wrong, and they put down their teacups one by one, ready to attack.

"Know him?" Zhang Mu asked.

Han Wanli nodded: "The third in command of Yanping Wuzhai, Li Chengwu!"

Li Chengwu sat down directly opposite Zhang Mu, glanced at Han Wanli, and said with a smile, "Old Han, it's been a while... I heard that someone tricked you in Sucheng. Is your injury healed?"

After saying this, he looked at Zhang Mu again and cupped his hands, "I don't know when this little brother came to Qianyuan Mountain. I haven't had the chance to meet him yet."

"I am Li Chengwu from Yanping Wuzhai!"

Zhang Mu looked at Li Chengwu, then turned his head and said to Han Wanli, "I remember that Yanping Wuzhai is the dog of Shuangyue Wuzhai?"

Han Wanli laughed heartily: "Young Master, you remember it well. This Yanping Martial Village is just a dog following behind Shuangyue Martial Village!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the twenty minions present all burst into laughter.

Li Chengwu did not get angry, but looked at Zhang Mu in surprise: "Are you the young leader of Qianyuan Wuzhai?"

Zhang Mu also had a bad face. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. He said coldly: "If you have something to say, say it. If you have to fart, fart quickly!"

The young man standing next to Li Chengwu was about to get angry, but Li Chengwu stopped him. Li Chengwu smiled and said, "This... Young Chief, our chief said that Yanping Wuzhai and Bihu Shuizhai both belong to Huzhou Prefecture and are like brothers."

"We will certainly help Bihu Water Village with the little water monster."

"I won't bother the heroes from other prefectures with that."

"Let's go back!"

Zhang Mu picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened, took a sip, and then said, "What if I don't want to?"

Li Chengwu shook his head: "Then I can only be impolite."

After saying this, Li Chengwu's aura suddenly changed, and his vital energy suddenly burst out.

Zhang Mu frowned slightly: "Have you always been so brave?"

Li Chengwu: "What did you say?"

Zhang Mu sighed, "He's in the middle stage of the Nourishing Fluid Realm... His aura is unstable, so he must have just been promoted..."

No wonder Li Chengwu was so arrogant. After all, after Zhang Mu mastered the divine charm, he could already seal his own aura. And the one who seemed to have the highest cultivation level among those present was Han Wanli.

It is only when the meridians are opened that they are complete.

but!

After Zhang Mu finished speaking, Han Wanli only saw a flash of cold light and seemed to hear a strange syllable in his ears.

The next moment, a streak of blood appeared on Li Chengwu's throat, and his expression was still as arrogant as before. On the other hand, Han Wanli only felt the long sword at Zhang Mu's waist shake a few times.

"Report back!" Zhang Mu looked at the young man who still had a smug look on his face, "Just say that your Third Master is dead."

"The murderer is the young leader of Qianyuan Martial Village, Zhang Mu!"
