31. Approach

The city of Jiguan is backed by a cliff. Although it is not on the top of the mountain, it is not far apart.

The mountains are mostly dense forests and thorns, and there is nowhere to go except for the secret paths that their family knows.

Especially now that summer is coming, the grass is densely planted and the eyes are green, just like being in a sea of ​​trees, and it is hard to find the direction.

However, this is nothing to the Mo family disciples who grew up in the city of the government.

They were very familiar with everything in this circle, and all the hidden paths, including the place where the traps were set up, the place where poisonous insects and snakes were located in the dense forest, the appearance of tigers and beasts, etc., were all kept in mind.

In this lush dense forest, there will also be some nightclubs left by the Mo family, mostly simple wooden houses, for those Mo family disciples who have changed their duties and cannot return to the government city temporarily.

At this time, late at night.

It was drizzling, it was a little drizzling, and it was pitch black everywhere, and there was no starlight.

In the small wooden house, five or six Mohist disciples surrounded a bonfire with rabbit meat roasted on it.

The wooden house is a bit dilapidated, and there are still water dripping in some places, but it is barely enough to shelter from wind and rain.

"No one has been here for a long time." Someone said.

"Not it, it's all leaking."

"Yeah, here is so far from the General Hospital, you can't usually come here."

"These salts are hard, and I don't know if they can still be used." Someone used a wooden stick to stick the caking salt and some water, intending to apply it to the roasted rabbit meat.

"You know how to eat." Several people next to you said with a smile.

"It seems that the rain can't stop tonight, so we have to spend some time here."

"You said there will be no wolf here, right?"

"Seeing your courage, the wolf is here just the time to eat."

"What nonsense?"

"Hey, who do you have wine?"

The few people were talking and laughing, not caring, because they used to have not been sleeping outside in the night patrol. In this dense forest, night is not suitable for rushing, because the darkness will confuse people's eyes. Even if they remember where the traps of the mechanism are, they will inevitably be careless.

Moreover, they are too familiar with their homes. Even though they are sleeping outside overnight, they don’t think so.

"Have you discovered it? Master Fang and the others seem to be very nervous recently."

"They have a lot of things to do every day and think about."

"Maybe it was because of the war with the Later Zhou Dynasty. The court asked us to help us and get on the progress and so on."

"I don't think so. Haven't you heard people say now that the war between the two countries seems to be a little closer to us."

"So what, so what?"

"That's right, with Yan State here, what are we afraid of?"

"These things are not something we should worry about, we are thinking about anything."

The fire was blown by the wind that penetrated into the fire, and the fire was extinguished. The people in the room were either joking or worried. The sound of rain outside crackled against the branches and leaves, and the voices were intermittent.

In the dark night, there was only this hazy little fire.

Whoosh!

A different sound appeared in the sound of rain, which was a crossbow arrow piercing through the air and making a scream.

The original chat and laughter in the wooden house suddenly became quiet, and then someone drew his sword, but the next moment the bowstrings rang, like a thunderbolt on a rainy night.

After a few short screams, the sound of falling to the ground started and everything came to an abrupt end.

The rain was still falling. After a while, dark shadows appeared around the wooden house, and someone kicked open the door of the wooden house.

There were many arrows inserted into the room, and the bodies of six Mo family disciples were all killed by arrows. Blood was spreading, and the fire was scattered, as if it was about to be destroyed.

Someone quickly fumbled on the corpse and took out the waist cards and patrol warrants on these people.

"Sir, I am from the Mo family."

"Barbecue on a rainy night is comfortable." Someone bent over, tore a piece of rabbit meat, chewed it, and then vomited, a little disappointed, "The heat is good, but the smell is a little light."

Under the light and dark fire, the light and shadow intertwined. The man was dressed in a skillful manner, dark red on the black background, and vaguely saw the python pattern lifelike and ferocious, as if he was about to jump out.

...

The rain lasted for two days.

Although the rain stopped, the sky did not clear up and was still dark.

At this time, dark clouds were covered with lightning and lightning hidden in it, which was pressed down, just like the city of the mechanism at this time.

In the bronze hall of the Mo family, several figures sat at the long table where the matter was being discussed.

"The person who went out before the rain has been two days, and there is no news." The thief said in a deep voice.

"Have you sent someone out to find it?" Fang Duan asked.

"Sent." Jiang Gou frowned, "Even they have no news."

"Where is the carrier pigeon?"

"Same."

"Is there any long smoke warning?"

"No."

Fang Duan listened and looked at Yue Qianzhong, who was sitting next to him, and they all had a clear idea in each other's eyes.

Two years have passed, and because of more or less exclusion and avoidance of suspicion, Yue Qianzhong looked much more depressed, but the sharpness in his eyes has never diminished when it comes to the survival of the Mo family.

At this moment, he spoke, "Does anyone else know about this?"

"Their family has come to find me." said the Tuo Shuai.

Everyone couldn't help but remain silent.

Jiang Gou hesitated for a moment and said, "The contact with the outside world has also been cut off."

What he and the TuoShip are now responsible for is the information in the city of the agency, which naturally includes the current patrol and guard position.

"The enemy is approaching." Fang Ban raised his hand and signaled that everyone did not have to speak.

"No need to send people out anymore." He said bluntly: "You can't even tell the warning, it should be their move."

They refer to the Later Zhou Dynasty and Yan State.

Although the Mohist family had a city of government, they still arranged hidden spies around to be responsible for the warning, but now there was no news, and there was no news for those who went out. This was to isolate them from the outside and unable to communicate with each other to convey the message.

This city of machinery has now become an isolated city.

"Tell others." Fang Cang said.

Master Mu's lips trembled, "What did you say?"

Fang Duan looked at this old friend. He knew that the other party had always wanted to go to Yan State. He had to leave with Ou Xingxing two years ago, but because he had been in poor health and had a long journey, he was unable to avoid the trouble of rushing and driving. So he stayed.

However, the other party had no intention of looking at the affairs of the government city. Fang didn't know this. At this time, he felt uncomfortable when he saw the other party's hidden worry and fear in his expression.

Yue Qianzhong took over the conversation and said directly: "This time, the Mo family may have reached the point of life and death, which is even more serious than that in the past. Let everyone prepare early if they inform you."

“What about?”

The person who spoke was very young, but he sat at the top of the left. His face looked a little pale, and his expression was a little playful.

"Mohen." The thief looked over.

"Originally, because of the faces of you, the Mohist family was filled with people's hearts."

Mo Hen smiled and said sarcastically, "The storm is coming. If you say it from the beginning, everyone will be nervous and will find a solution together. But now that things are coming, I am so anxious that I will tell them, is it too late? If this string is broken, the Mo family will be in chaos."

Yue Qianzhong frowned. He was not good at such scheming things, and after hearing this, he also felt that it made sense.

Seeing this, Fang Bian knew that his old friend had no idea again.

"If you don't directly explain it at this time, you will be completely distracted when the crisis really appears in front of you. If you didn't inform me before, you were too many considerations and I still have hope. Now it seems that I am indeed not considering it carefully and losing the opportunity to deal with it."

Fang Duan took a deep breath, "Try to comfort everyone, so that everyone can be prepared."

"If there is someone..." The thief hesitated.

"Then let them go." Fang Dian sighed.
