Chapter Six: The Mountain Villa of Escorting

  What is called a farm, in fact, does not look like a manor at all, and even compared to some large courtyards in Jin Yang, it is not inferior.

  It's just that this manor is located in the suburbs and wilderness, and most of the surrounding areas are also wasteland. This may be the only place similar to a farm.

  Ling Luo Yu's carriage had just arrived at the entrance of the farm when several people came out to greet them.

  The first was a bald old man, wearing a very ordinary green shirt. Although neither his appearance nor his clothes were impressive, no matter how Mu Yi and the others looked at him, this bald old man did not look like a farmer.

  On either side of the bald old man stood two men in their thirties, dressed entirely in black, with somber expressions on their faces, and they didn't look like people who were there to welcome guests.

  The carriage stopped, Ling Xiaoyu smiled slightly and walked out, followed closely by Chen Kongmu and others.

  With a light flip of his hand, Ling Luoye produced an ancient token and gently stroked the floral pattern on it before slowly handing it over to the bald old man.

  "Not bad, it's indeed a Tongxian Token!" The bald old man took a brief glance at the token and directly put it into his bosom.

  "In the Liyuan Sea, several of you have been rushing along the way, and you must be tired too. I don't know if you are ready to have a meal first or rest first?" The bald old man asked with a fist in his hand.

  "Uncle Li doesn't have to go to such trouble, just casually prepare some wine and dishes to entertain us and that's enough!" Ling Luoyu said with a gentle smile.

  "Gentlemen, you've come from afar as guests, how could I be rude? Please follow me first, the wine and dishes will be ready soon!" Li Huihai smiled casually and led the way into the farmhouse.

  Ling Luo Yu followed closely behind, Mu Yi Han Xiang and others were full of doubts in their hearts, but at this moment they had no choice but to shoot, and could only smile wryly as they followed closely behind Ling Luo Yu.

  The living room in the farmhouse was very large, and there were many guest rooms. After hastily having dinner, several people went to the West Wing under Li Yuanghai's arrangement.

  The guest rooms in the west wing are numerous, five people occupied five rooms, but still appear unusually empty.

  After a day of rushing around, Chen Kong was already very tired. He hastily closed the door and was just about to go to bed when there was a sudden knock at the door.

  "Brother Mu? Is that you?" Dragging his tired body, Chen Kong opened the door, and a figure flashed in, it was indeed Mu Yi.

  "Brother Chen, have you noticed that something is unusual within this farm?" Mu Yi softly closed the door and lowered his voice to say.

  He nodded slightly and Chen Kong said in a low voice, "Not bad, indeed it seems that something is not quite right. Every single person inside doesn't seem like an ordinary farmer!"

  Mo Yi smiled wryly and said, "That's right. From my observation, no one in this room is simple. Brother Chen, among us, your eyesight should be the strongest, don't you know what that Ling Luo Yu took out of his token? I think there must be something fishy about that token!"

  Chen Kong shook his head and said, "Brother Mu must know that Ling Luoye is skilled in illusion techniques. If he doesn't want you to see the true face of the token, it's really hard for you to see its true appearance!"

  Mo Yi nodded and said: "That's also true, I don't know what Ling Luoyu's intention is in bringing us few people to this place."

  Chen Kong smiled and said, "Even if he has some plan, we don't necessarily have to lose to him. With Guizao, Qian Shou, Zhui Feng, and Du Hua joining forces, there aren't many people in the Jianghu who can beat us."

  Mu Yi sighed and said: "I used to think so too. Ah! I don't know if Brother Chen has noticed something?"

  Chen Kong was taken aback for a moment and said, "What's wrong with you? Brother Mu, did you suffer a setback from Ling Luoye at the edge of that desolate forest?"

  Mu Yi smiled wryly and nodded, saying: "I don't know if Brother Chen knows about the Lianyan Lianmo Array? In that desolate forest, I was trapped by him in that array."

  Chen Kong was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "We were just near you that day, how come we didn't feel anything unusual at all?"

  Mu Yi let out a soft sigh and said, "Brother Chen just mentioned it too, Ling Luo Yu is skilled in illusions. He doesn't want us to see things that we can't see, so what you saw was just an illusion created by him. As for the ferocity of the Lian Hua Lian Mo array, I'm sure you're aware of it. If Ling Luo Yu hadn't let me out voluntarily, I wouldn't have been able to escape. In my opinion, since we gathered at Yan Yu Lou, everything we've done has been under Ling Luo Yu's control, he's been leading us by the nose!"

  Chen Kong nodded and said, "I have the same feeling. I feel that Ling Luoyu is deliberately guiding us to come here. I even suspect that the mysterious person who hired us to come here may be related to Ling Luoyu!"

  Mo Yi sank into thought for a moment, then said: "But what is he trying to do? Is he intentionally targeting us? But there's no need to go that far. Or does he need our help with something? Since we're all hitmen, as long as he pays us, we can get the job done, so why bother plotting against us?"

  Chen Kong took a deep breath and said, "As for why he did this, I really can't understand, but one thing is certain, we were indeed outsmarted by Ling Luo Yu. To think that the four of us, renowned killers roaming the jianghu for so long, would be outwitted by a young whippersnapper like him... if word gets out, our reputation will be utterly ruined."

  Mu Yi said in a low voice: "Brother Chen means..."

  Chen Kong nodded and said in a low voice: "Not bad, now it's up to you, Brother Mu!"

  Mo Yi looked around cautiously and said, "Brother Chen's intention is to ask me to make a sneak attack on him, but that Ling Luo Yu is very mysterious, what if I don't succeed with one strike?"

  Chen let out a sigh and said, "If we can't take him down with one strike, then we'll have to put in some effort and make another move. If we still can't subdue him, perhaps the four great assassins of the Jianghu - Guizao, Qian Shou, Zhuifeng, and Du Hua - will have to be eliminated."

  Mu Yi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Although my knife is powerful enough, I still think the best way to deal with Ling Luoye is to poison him. Qin Ling'er should be easier to handle than me!"

  Chen Kong shook his head and said, "If Ling Luoyu really wants to guard against someone, she should suspect Qin Linger, because Qin Linger's poison poses the greatest threat to him. It seems that she has the best opportunity, perhaps she is already under Ling Luoyu's surveillance!"

  "Now that you've noticed, I won't hide it from you either!" The voice suddenly rang out, the slightly ajar door slowly creaked open, and Ling Luoyu calmly walked in with a tranquil expression.
