I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 148 Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa [Major Revision]

"what?"

Why is it so lively outside?

Zuo Rong, heavily pregnant, was practicing martial arts in Zuo Jing's courtyard when she suddenly heard a commotion in front of the mountain. Having lived in Laoshan for almost a year, she was already familiar with the place. Now, her curiosity piqued, she dragged Zuo Jing out to see what was happening.

Climb high and look far.

At a glance, a group of people were seen coming up the mountain from the bottom, just like when they went up the mountain at the beginning of the year. The underground righteous men were escorting a group of men and women, young and old.

"ah!"

"A new person has arrived!"

Zuo Rong was pleasantly surprised.

Since they went up the mountain on the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one has come to Laoshan.

It's hard to believe that even though it's almost the end of the year and the Lunar New Year is just two days away, another batch of new people have arrived.

"It doesn't seem like many people, maybe five or seven hundred."

"But that's still quite a lot!"

The entire Laoshan area has a proper 'resident' population, including children, of just over four thousand.

Another five or seven hundred came in, that's quite a lot.

"Xiao Jing!"

"go!"

"Let's go see where they're from. Maybe some of them are from Shangyang or Xiayang!"

Zuo Rong was very proactive.

Sakyo smiled.

He certainly knew where these people came from, and even knew who they were.

But everyone else is just there for show.

Of those who went up the mountain this time, there were only two people who were relevant to Zuo Jing and Zuo Rong—

"father?!"

"mother?!!!"

……

In Laoshan, the Zuo family managed to have a limited family reunion before the end of the year.

On this side of Kuangshan.

In Xiayang City, Yao Shu and the others were filled with gloom and despair.

Sakyo hehe.

Yao Shu didn't laugh.

years later.

This day.

Yao Shu's face was extremely grim: "They haven't returned yet?"

beside her.

Junior sister Sun Ru smiled bitterly: "No news at all."

Which one is it now?

Wen Xiao, Xi Ya, Chu Baizhao, Xing Fei, Zhu Zhi, Yin Fang, Tong Jianghua, Guo Yuan, Liu Xinlan.

Back and forth.

Yao Shu has already sent out nine fellow disciples, all of whom are 12th-level experts.

among them--

Wen Xiao tracks down the first Peiyuan Fruit.

Xi Ya and Chu Baizhao successively tracked down the second and third Peiyuan Fruits.

And then.

The three of them disappeared without a trace.

Yao Shu immediately sensed something was wrong and sent out six more people in pairs—Xing Fei, Zhu Zhi, Yin Fang, Tong Jianghua, Guo Yuan, and Liu Xinlan—to search along the trail of the secret fragrance left by Wen Xiao and the others.

result.

The six people went for half a month, and like them, they never returned.

Yao Shu had a bad feeling; the odds were against her.

Moreover, she was certain that it was most likely related to the underground society.

She just couldn't understand it—

How was it discovered underground?

"How can it be!"

She was confident that the 'Secret Fragrance' and the 'Fragrance Skill' were foolproof. Wen Xiao and the others were all 12th-level experts. They wouldn't dare say they were invincible in this world, but if they wanted to leave, no one could stop them.

Even if the underground society discovers them, how exactly did they arrange things and keep them there?
Can't figure it out.

Yao Shu couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

She originally didn't want to break ties with the underground society, but now she had no choice.

Yao Shu coldly said, "Bring Cheng Yaojin up here!"

Soon.

Cheng Yaojin has arrived.

When Zuo Jing possessed the assassin and saw that Yao Shu looked unwell, he was immediately in high spirits—haha!

Yao Shu is so stupid!

At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, we made a series of impressive moves, but the results were 0-5.

wrong.

It should be 0-9.

'Not a single one of my assassins has died.'

However, they captured nine of Yao Shu's top fighters alive.

This battle was too easy.

Zuo Jingdu hadn't expected such a result. He had originally planned to use the three level-twelve cultivation fruits that Yao Shu had tampered with to lure and capture three of her experts, and that would be the end of it.

But who would have thought.

Yao Shu used the "Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa" trick on him, not only sending Wen Xiao and the other two away, but also sending six experts to pursue them along the way. They were discovered by the assassins and spies that Zuo Jing had placed on those three routes.

then.

They made advance arrangements, repeated their old tricks, and caught them all in one fell swoop.

When Zuo Jing took down the next six people, he knew that Yao Shu would probably be restless.

as predicted.

Today, it has arrived.

……

General Cheng!

"Do you want to live or die?"

Yao Shu sat at the head of the table, leaning slightly forward to deliberately create a sense of oppression.

Unfortunately, Zuo Jing wasn't buying it.

He countered Yao Shu's question: "Does City Lord Yao want Wen Xiao and the others to die or live?"

Bang!
Yao Shu slammed her hand on the table, her pretty face turning icy with anger: "It really was you!"

Zuo Jing just smiled and didn't say anything.

Sit and watch Yao Shu's performance.

They didn't give them any screen time at all.

call!
call!
Yao Shu took a few deep breaths, her full chest heaving violently, clearly quite angry.

in fact.

Zuo Jing knew that Yao Shu's anger was not necessarily about the whereabouts and safety of Wen Xiao and the others. What angered her more was that she had appeared too foolish in this confrontation with the underground society, and had been manipulated and crushed from beginning to end.

The frustration stemming from her intellectual shortcomings was the main reason for her anger and embarrassment.

Yao Shu tried to adjust her mindset and questioned Zuo Jing: "What about the promised cooperation! Is this the underground society's so-called win-win cooperation?!"

Zuo Jing was speechless: "Have you no shame?"

He shook his head: "We agreed that if we were to cooperate, we would cooperate, and neither of us would pry into the other's secrets. But what happened? You turned around and started asking me about the alliance's top secrets, and you even tried to bribe me with the Peiyuan Fruit. You not only bribed me, but also dozens of my subordinates."

Zuo Jing pointed at Yao Shu and said bluntly, "Yao Shu! You're not being honest!"

Don't be angry!
Don't be angry!
Anger causes illness, and no one can take your place!
Yao Shu silently recited the mantra to calm herself and avoid responding to Zuo Jing's remarks. However, when she came to her senses, she noticed something strange in Zuo Jing's words: "You have never had any contact with the outside world, so how do you know about this?!"

She sent Wen Xiao and others to track down the Peiyuan Fruit, including dispatching Liu Xinlan and others to search for Wen Xiao and his group. This "Cheng Yaojin" should not have known about this.

How did he find out?
And are you absolutely certain that Wen Xiao is there?

Guess?

still--

'A mole?!'

Yao Shu was more inclined to believe that he was guessing, after all, her high regard for Wen Xiao was obvious to all. If she sent someone to track him, there was a high probability that Wen Xiao was involved. 'Cheng Yaojin' was only guessing Wen Xiao, so the probability of him guessing correctly was extremely high.

Uh-huh!

It must be a guess!

but--

"Wen Xiao, Xi Ya, Chu Baizhao, Xing Fei, Zhu Zhi, Yin Fang, Tong Jianghua, Guo Yuan, Liu Xinlan."

"Right?"

"Is it those nine of them?"

Zuo Jing deliberately messed with Yao Shu's mentality.

Yao Shu was utterly astonished: "How did you know?"

Zuo Jing laughed: "What else could it be? Of course, it's that there's a traitor among you!"

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Yao Shu absolutely refused to believe that her beloved junior sisters, whom she had personally brought down from the Upper Realm and Fushan City, would betray her, and even less did she believe that they would collude with lowly forces from the Lower Realm.

It must be through some other channel!
Correct!
definitely is!

"Don't you believe it?"

"That's fine."

"It won't delay our subsequent negotiations, will it?"

Zuo Jing planted a small seed in Yao Shu's heart, then ignored it and smiled, "Now, we have nine prisoners in our hands. What are you going to offer in exchange?"
