One hundred and ninetieth chapters strange people
If Hou Jie knew some military tactics, he would know that Pingyang was completely nonsense. The Funiu Mountains stretched for thousands of miles and sent 20,000 troops deep into it to surround the most steepest mountain. It would require countless manpower and material resources, which is not cost-effective and impossible to achieve.
However, Hou Jie is a rough man in the world. He is in his forties and can only write a few words of cultural level. He has never been exposed to military tactics and military affairs, so he knows how to consume military. He just knows that Pingyang has a prominent status and has a very easy position to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses. He doesn't doubt anything, and he is weighing the gains and losses in his heart.
There has always been no shortage of good players who can fight in the world. As long as people with a little fame have two tricks, they lack strange people with various strengths. For example, disguise, light skills, poisoning, etc., who have special abilities in a certain aspect.
Hou Jie was gifted and his arms grew apart like a monkey when he was born. Because he grew different from ordinary people, he was ridiculed by others since childhood. For this reason, his mother moved to the rarely visited mountains and brought him up alone.
A group of wild monkeys live in the forest where Hou Jie lives. His childhood playmate was the monkeys, who jumped like monkeys, so that his bones, which were originally different from ordinary people, were invisibly affected. At a young age, he had a hunchback like a monkey, his hands and feet were long, but his body was a little short because of the hunchback. He was only 1.65 meters tall, but his one arm was 1.2 meters long, and his arms were slightly bent, and his arms touched the ground.
Hou Jie lives in the mountains and is accompanied by monkeys, and he is like a man and ape. He has learned the unique skills of climbing in the mountains and forests. He climbs mountains and wading in the waters, climbs trees and climbs walls like walking on flat ground. When he was twenty years old, he met a strange man in the world and thus embarked on the road to the world.
Generally speaking, martial arts practitioners need to lay a solid foundation since childhood, and after years of hard work, they can achieve success and be superior. At the age of twenty, the bones are fixed and shaped. However, because Hou Jie grew up in the jungle, he invisibly brought training into life, and unknowingly developed an outstanding light body skill. When learning the upper-level light body step skills, he may succeed in just three years. There are almost no trees that he cannot climb, cliffs that he cannot climb, let alone sneak into other people's mansions. Such low-difficulty things are as easy as eating and drinking water. They have also gained the reputation of the soaring monkey.
Hou Jie attracted Situ Shuai because of his special skills. He needed a master like Hou Jie who could sneak into any place to investigate information and inquire about information and even poison at any time. He also used extraordinary means to "invite" Hou Jie's mother to the nest of the Funiu Mountain Assassination Camp. Hou Jie had depended on his mother since childhood, and had to obey Situ Shu's orders and serve him against his will.
Hou Jie is quite upright and is unwilling to serve Situ Shu. He launched an investigation into the assassination camp once he had no mission and used his own ability to cross mountains and ridges. He opened up a secret territory leading to the assassination camp, intending to find an opportunity to rescue his mother.
Because it is of great importance. Hou Jie dared not act without permission. Situ Shu was cunning and fierce, so he noticed a little problem, and his mother might be in danger of life.
But he didn't want Luo Shixin to see through all his thoughts.
Hou Jie's eyes passed by Luo Shixin, Pingyang, and returned to Luo Shixin. A little hope was ignited in his eyes. Since his skill was completed, he had traveled around the world and had never noticed his hiding figure, let alone captured him alive. The most dangerous time was that Situ Shang led twenty people to ambush him and test his ability. In Situ Shang's words, "Even a simple encirclement cannot escape, it is also a false reputation, and he does not need a waste." That time, he had a mindless ambushes, which was considered dangerous, but he finally escaped. However, what awaited him was his mother's capture, and he had to compromise and become Situ Shang's pawn.
However, Luo Shixin discovered his existence without any intention and joined forces with Pingyang, making him a prisoner at the bottom of the rank without any ability to fight back.
"Okay! I'll do you."
Hou Jie gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. Based on the strength shown by Luo Shixin, "I believe you can save my mother."
Luo Shixin responded without hesitation: "I, Luo Shixin, never let down the trust of those who believe in me."
************
The Funiu Mountains are located in the heart of the Central Plains, stretching for more than 800 miles, with a huge scale, and the mountain is extremely high and majestic, like a lie-in-the-north, so they are called Funiu Mountain. Funiu Mountain has three main peaks, namely Jijiaojian, Jade Emperor Ting, and Laojun Mountain. The assassination camp hides in Laojun Mountain.
Luo Shixin, as soon as Pingyang decided to take action, he immediately ordered people to gather the guests lurking around Pingyang.
It was only midnight that a hundred good men had gathered in the valley. They were dressed casually, but each of them had outstanding strength, which surprised Luo Shixin.
Pingyang said complacently: "My disciple, looking at Chang'an, is not an exaggeration to call him the first." It turns out that Pingyang used step control for the guests sitting down, and positioned the guests as if they were stairs. The higher the status, the better the monthly salary and benefits, and so on. Every two months, Pingyang will organize a competition to eliminate old people and replenish fresh blood. The one hundred people ordered to come this time are the top 100 people among the visitors. They are all elites selected through no false competitions and are very strong.
Seeing that he had added hundreds of new forces out of thin air, Hou Jie also increased his confidence a lot.
He took people up the mountain from the rarely visited path overnight. The group was a good player. He could not help but climb the mountain. The speed of climbing was extremely fast. Only Hou Jie was a little powerless. Pingyang's arrow shot through his calf. Although it did not hurt his bones, it was impossible to recover in the short term. After forcing a while, he was sweating profusely and his body was unable to maintain balance.
Luo Shixin carried Hou Jie behind his back and smiled and said, "So quickly!" He was born with divine power, and carrying a living person with a hundred pounds of pounds to climb the mountain would not cause him much trouble.
Seeing that Luo Shixin was carrying it on his back without any hesitation, Hou Jie also felt a little moved in his eyes.
In fact, he was thinking too much. Luo Shixin's personality would not easily trust someone, but just wanted to act earlier to make Pei Qingyi less dangerous in the distance. As for Hou Jie, he did not think that the other party had the strength to pose a threat to him, even if it was behind him.
It is not difficult to climb Funiu Mountain, but it is difficult to even leave Luo Shixin as he climbs Laojun Mountain.
The path they are now walking through the foul water between the dense forests and the road is narrow and only one person can pass through.
What Hou Jie refers to is not a road at all, but a path of animal walking by tigers and leopards, with thorns and extremely steepness.
Luo Shixin opened the way with a Tang sword in his hand, splitting all kinds of hurtful thorns, and said while rushing to the road: "It's a good thing that you can find such a way."
Hou Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Funiu Mountain has always been a tourist destination for scholars and poets in the peaceful and prosperous era. It has been famous for hundreds of years in the Central Plains. Any trail has been discovered long ago. The assassination camp has secret sentries on the necessary roads to the camp, and there are escape routes on the mountain, which is difficult to break the front. Only the animal paths that tigers and leopards step through the mountain are extremely secret and no one knows."
After walking for a day and night, the group came to a cliff. Hou Jie pointed to the cliff that was nearly thirty meters high and said, "Just climb to the top of this cliff, you will be behind the assassination camp."
Looking at the towering cliff, Luo Shixin said in disbelief: "How to climb this!" The cliff in front of him was almost straight, with almost no place to settle down. There were one or two tenacious pine trees halfway up the mountain.
Hou Jie smiled and said, "Since you are brought here, there is a way to let you go up." He came to the far right of the cliff, and took out more than ten thin short sticks about two fingers from the thorn bushes on the right. He fumbled on the mountain wall for a while and inserted the short stick in. He turned his head and said, "I know that this cliff is not something that ordinary people can't get up, so he spent two years secretly carving out a path that went straight to the top of the mountain. He originally planned to be able to climb down from above one day with his mother on his back, but he didn't expect it to be used at this time."
Luo Shixin looked upwards along the short stick hole, and barely found a few small holes with his eyesight. If he hadn't known the intention of these small holes, he would have no idea that there would be a way of heaven here. Looking at the straight mountain wall and the ladder with wooden sticks on it. No matter how hard it is to do this, Luo Shixin had to sigh at the difficulty of doing all this. His eyes looked at Hou Jie with a little admiration: This guy is such a strange man, I wonder if he can use it for me.
Even when Luo Shixin saw more than a hundred disciples in Pingyang, he had no intention of recruiting them, but Hou Jie made him think of this. He had no shortage of subordinates who could fight, but what he lacked was a person like Hou Jie. You can imagine how much convenience could he achieve in the military if a monkey like Hou Jie was inquiring about information and finding a path.
"We'll kill you on the eve of dawn, and have a good rest now!" Luo Shixin gave the order, called Pingyang aside, and whispered: "When you go up, can your highness share some good hands to protect Hou Jie's mother?"
Pingyang nodded and said, "I understand that Hou Jie is a very filial person and should not be a bad person. He also has unique skills and his martial arts are not very good, but this unique skill is probably not comparable to that of Qingyi, and it is worthy of being won over." She also had the idea of winning over Hou Jie, but seeing that Luo Shixin also had this idea, he did not argue.
Dawn is the most relaxed, most sleepy and deadly time for human beings.
It is impossible to climb the cliff, but with the skills of Luo Shixin, Pingyang and his disciples, it is not difficult to climb the 30-meter-high cliff.
The group went up to the top of the mountain, and Luo Shixin whispered: "Where is your mother? Where is the other leader's house? We divided our troops into two groups, one by one, one by one, and then set fire to create chaos, and the other side captured the thief and the king."
Hou Jie was even more moved and pointed out the place to go very carefully.
