The journey from the East China Sea to Mount Hua required ten days to travel day and night on horseback and a month to travel on foot. By this time, a month had passed since the two months with Lu Mingjie, and Ye Jianhan had purchased six horses from a group of horsemen.
The secret map had already been destroyed by the monkey, and Ye Mo Han had already decided to join hands and kill Lu Ming. When they were almost at the foot of Mount Hua, Monkey Shadowless was scared and wanted to leave first. Having been with Ye Mo Han for so many days, he at least had some sense of friendship. Before the monkey left, Ye Shuang Han asked him to wash his hands in gold, away from the world. Monkey Shadowless quickly agreed.
”Do you really think he'd wash his hands in a golden bowl?” Ye Wen Han asked as he watched the monkey disappear into the distance.
”It is easy to change one's nature, but hard to change one's nature.” ”Ye Wen said coldly.” However, as long as he is far away from the martial arts world, he can still protect himself. ”
”Then you're saying that you're supporting him in stealing the hard work of ordinary people?” Liang Rufeng said with a smile.
”Ordinary people's hard work and money can't enter his eyes. People like him like that like extraordinary things.” ”Ye Mo said with a cold smile.” But how many ordinary people have you seen have extraordinary things? Those who have treasures are either merchants, nobles, or the martial arts world's people. Monkeys can live a long life without provoking the martial arts world's people. ”
”You're right. No matter how good his Qing Gong is, he might not be able to escape every time.” It was as if he had a finger in his hand.
The two of them smiled at each other and urged their horses to move slowly. At this time, they were very close to Mount Hua, and Ye Wen was not in a hurry to get there. Right now, he really wanted to have a good meal and a good night's sleep. He wanted to rest up and go see Lu Mingjie.
Only an energetic person would be able to successfully accomplish such a task.
At this time, the distance from Jade Springs Courtyard at the foot of the mountain of Hua was less than two hundred miles, and there were three towns in the middle of it. The territory of the Hua Shan Sect had been governed by Lin Moyu and Zhang Yiming for many years. They could be considered to have made a fortune for the people. Everyone loved and respected the people of the Hua Mountain Sect. Ever since it was spread that Ye Mo Han had killed Zhang Yiming, the local people had long since hated Ye Mo Han to the bones. However, they were just ordinary people and had never seen Ye Mo Han before. Even if they had, they didn't dare to say anything. In front of strong people, most people would swallow their anger. Therefore, all they could do was to express their anger during the idle chat after lunch in order to remember the head they respected.
The two of them urged their horses on. They arrived at the first town in the evening, and Ye Mo Han gave three of the five remaining horses to the owner of an inn as lodging and money for drinks. The owner of the inn was a rather loyal person. He gave Ye Mo Han ten taels of silver after leaving the two guests' inn and their food and wine. This inn was the place where food was served. Behind it was a courtyard and the guest rooms were all built around the guest rooms. Ye Han and the good wind of the room next to each other, the two of them had a grand evening to drink, after the drink went back to their own room to rest.
Late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin. The Crow Magpie did not fly south. Beside the inn, a few crows were cawing at the inn from a dead tree that was surrounded by three people. Since ancient times, crows had always been unknown, were they hinting at something?
Outside the door of the inn stood thirty people. These thirty people all held weapons, swords, spears, and nearly all of them were different. The two people leading the group were a tall and sturdy man wearing a mask with strange patterns on his face. Under the moonlight, the mask looked even more ferocious and terrifying. The other one was a middle-aged woman who wore a charming smile on her face.
The masked man was Wu Yi Sect's head, Xie Feipeng. The woman was naturally the Third Aunt Liu who had led Ye Mo Han into the Drunken Moon Restaurant.
”Are you done?” Xie Feipeng asked Third Aunt Liu.
”Don't worry, no matter how big the commotion, no one will know.” ”Haha …” Third Aunt Liu laughed. The people within a mile of here will never hear anything. They have all been killed by the Black Cloaked Sect's best assassins. ”
Xie Feipeng acknowledged and urged Third Aunt Liu, ”You must not be careless. Ye Jianhan and Ruofeng are not easy to deal with. If they work together, it will be unthinkable.”
”Two fists are no match for four hands, we have thirty-four people now, plus the ambush in two towns, there are a total of one hundred and twenty people, the rest are rushing here to support us, no matter how strong Ye Mo Han and Liang Rufeng are, we can only die here tonight.” Third Aunt Liu's words caused one's teeth to go cold.
”Ye Mo Han ah Ye Mo Han, I let you kill a good man like the wind, you actually became friends with him, it really disappoints me.” Xie Feipeng sighed, appearing extremely regretful. However, it was evident that he was unable to suppress the joy in his heart.
”Rest assured, neither of them will survive the night.” Third Aunt Liu promised Xie Feipeng.
