Jia Ping replied again: "I think the Grand Master should have planned this, otherwise there would be no need to hold Sun Linghe and his son hostage."

Okay, he just refused to reveal the truth, Li Feibai sneered in his heart.

At the same time, he also concluded that the real master behind Taiping Dao must be very important.

But then he thought, the most important thing at the moment was not to let Jia Ping doubt his identity, so Li Feibai said instead:

"Actually, even if the sergeant didn't speak, I knew their purpose."

"Oh? Master Zuo knows?" Jia Ping was a little surprised.

"They were ordered to scare away the hunters in the mountains, not just to prevent people from going up the mountain. What is their purpose? Has Protector Jia ever thought about preventing the hunters from going up the mountain?" Li Feibai asked rhetorically.

"They are soldiers of the national defense? And they don't let the hunters go up the mountain?" Jia Ping thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.

Seeing this, Li Feibai pointed to the road at his feet and reminded again: "This road is the mountain road leading to Zhu State, and now, the gate of Yiyang City is closed."

His eyes moved left and right, and after a moment, Jia Ping finally realized what he was doing.

"I see."

"Keep your voice down."

Jia Ping was a little excited and his voice became louder.

"Tell me about it." Li Feibai asked softly.

"The soldiers of the Wei Kingdom want to sneak into the Zhu Kingdom through this mountain road, so that they can cooperate with each other inside and outside."

"Of course!" Li Feibai started to admire, and then added: "The gates of Yiyang are closed. It's just an illusion created by Wei Guo to confuse Zhu Guo. They want Zhu Guo to think that all the soldiers defending the city are huddled in the city.

, In fact, they have already sneaked into the Zhu Kingdom quietly in batches. The soldiers of the Wei Kingdom are playing tricks here to prevent the hunters in the mountains from discovering this secret."

Jia Ping narrowed his eyes and whispered to himself: "In the past two months, I don't know how many of them have sneaked into Zhu Country."

There was worry on his face.

"It would be great if we knew the identities of these sergeants who sneaked into Zhu State." Jia Ping continued to mutter to himself, completely forgetting himself.

"Huh?" Li Feibai stared at him pretending to be suspicious: "Jia Protector, why are you always so concerned about the war between the two countries? Isn't it good to let them fight, and let us just sit back and reap the rewards?"

In fact, the reason why Li Feibai didn't let the sergeant speak was because he was afraid that he would reveal the identity of the sergeants who had sneaked into Zhu State. If Jia Ping found out and then informed the Zhu State court, the people of both sides would suffer.

What he wants to do now is to wish the country and his party to eradicate the Taiping Road, so that they can retreat in the face of difficulties and eliminate the war invisible.

With a smile, Jia Ping argued forcefully: "After all, he is from the Zhu country, so naturally his heart goes to the Zhu country."

Then, he seemed to realize something was wrong and immediately looked at Li Feibai with suspicion.

"Master Zuo, I remember that you were straightforward before, but you were not so delicate in your thoughts?"

Feeling tight in his heart, Li Feibai secretly thought that it was not good. He only focused on testing the other party, but forgot to play Zuo Yongsheng at all times.

With Zuo Yongsheng's ability, it is impossible to guess these many details.

Smiling slightly, Li Feibai replied calmly: "If you had been lurking around King Qi for many years, and then still under Nangong Ding, and there were Bai Feili and Zhao Qiancheng watching you all the time, you would have become thoughtful.

of."

Although this explanation was far-fetched, Jia Ping didn't think too much about it at this time.

All he was thinking about was how to find out the identities of the soldiers who had sneaked into the country of Zhu one by one.

Fortunately, Zuo Yongsheng didn't know the true relationship between Taiping Dao and Zhu Guo's court. Otherwise, the actions of silencing the national defense sergeant just now would definitely make Jia Ping more suspicious.

Zou Zhongben was walking at the front. He slowed down and got closer to Li Feibai. Jia Ping also shut up at the right moment and stopped asking any more questions.

"Brother Mazi, where did your cultivation come from?"

The person Zou Zhong was looking for turned out to be Zhao Qiancheng.

After being startled, Zhao Qiancheng replied casually: "When I was young, I had the opportunity to learn from an expert."

"Expert? I think this expert must have reached the realm of cultivation to be able to guide a disciple like you." Zou Zhong's eyes were full of envy.

Although he had only seen the tip of the iceberg of Zhao Qiancheng's strength, he already admired him very much.

Zhao Qiancheng just nodded and did not answer.

Jia Ping is on the side, and the more he talks, the easier it is to reveal his secrets.

Zou Zhong seems to be very curious, and he has lived in the mountains for a long time, so he is quite curious about foreign affairs. Along the way, he either pulled Li Feibai to ask about business methods, or pulled Zhao Qiancheng to ask about martial arts.

Although the journey was difficult, the time did not pass slowly.

Everyone was already at the highest point of the mountain. Fortunately, as they headed south, the mountain did not rise or fall any more. They walked faster and faster as if they were walking on flat ground.

On the ninth day, we came to a mountain stream.

Different from the slow streams they encountered before, the water flow in this stream was somewhat turbulent, and it was obvious that there was a large height difference between the water source and the outlet.

"Gentlemen, across this stream is the border of Zhu Kingdom."

Zou Zhong stopped and pointed to the other side of the stream.

"Finally we're here."

Guo Dagui let out a sigh of relief.

Nine days of running around in the mountains made this wealthy old man a little haggard.

"But the current is very fast and we don't have a boat to cross. How can we get there?" Jia Ping frowned and spoke.

"This..." Zou Zhong was still so enthusiastic. He glanced at the big trees around him and said, "You have more people and more strength. Just cut down a few big trees and make them into bamboo rafts. Crossing the river will be a breeze."

Everyone nodded.

"Brother Zou, I'm sorry to help you." Li Feibai cupped his hands and clasped his fists.

Guo Dagui was also very grateful to Zou Zhong. He took out another thousand-tael silver note from his arms and handed it to him.

"Brother, without you, we don't know when we will be able to return. This is a small reward, don't dislike it."

"No, no, no." Zou Zhong waved his hand quickly: "Master Guo has already given one hundred taels, which is enough. I will never accept this money."

"Take it." Guo Dagui forced it into his hand.

"Master Guo." Zou Zhong said solemnly: "You have helped Zoujia Village get rid of the 'Mountain God', and we can go up to the mountains to hunt for a living. This is already a great kindness. I can never accept this money again. Please ask Master Guo."

Forgive me."

"Since Brother Zou is so righteous, Master Guo, let's not embarrass him any more." Li Feibai stood up and spoke.

After hearing what he said, Guo Dagui had no choice but to put away the banknote and stop insisting.

Seeing this, Zou Zhong just showed his face and said: "When you get to the other side, walk all the way to the southwest and you will reach the border of Zhu Kingdom. Masters, please take your leave."

At this time, the muscular man next to Guo Dagui suddenly said: "Without the mountain god, aren't you afraid that some fox fairy will appear again?"

Zou Zhong, who had just turned to leave, immediately stopped, raised his hands and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
