Chapter 117: The Fox Immortal

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  Just one more monthly ticket and I'll be back to fourth place, just one! Is there any? Is there any?!

  I remember this strange bird appeared once at the foot of the mountain, could it be that it has been following us all along...

  How is this possible?

  Wang Yun nodded his head, wanting to shake off this absurd idea, and said in a low voice: "Chen You, kill it with a flying knife."

  Compared to others' tall and majestic stature, Chen You was undoubtedly much thinner and smaller, with a thin and pointed face, a pair of eyes that were not large but shone with a sharp light. He had practiced flying knives since childhood and could shoot accurately at a hundred paces. At this moment, hearing his big brother's order, he immediately responded, his hand touched, and a six-inch handle-less flying knife suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand. He smiled and said: "Big brother, look at my skills. This bird is so fat, it's just right to shoot it down and roast it with wine."

  Hiss!

  It seemed to hear Chen You's mockery, and the strange bird suddenly opened its mouth and let out a loud angry cry. Its cold eyes were fixed on Chen You in an instant.

  Huh?...

  Chen You faintly felt that the bird was somewhat strange, and without thinking, he swiftly threw a flying knife, its cold blade flashing like lightning, directly at the strange bird's neck.

  Hehehe!

  Suddenly a burst of eerie laughter like human voices came from the beak of the strange bird, and then it flapped its wings and rose into the sky, dodging Chen You's flying knife, and disappeared with a flutter into the forest above.

  Chen You's face suddenly looked very unsightly.

  Wang Yun stared at the place where the strange bird disappeared, his brow furrowed, and he couldn't shake off some lingering doubts.

  "Big brother, this bird..."

  Wang Yun interrupted Chen You's next words: "It's just a bird, don't mind it, let's go back to the Jianguan Cave first and wait."

  With a wave of his hand, everyone followed him in a line and climbed up the mountain.

  On the road, someone asked Wang Yun: "Big brother, why does Li Da Guan want us to take action in this matter? And also brought people up the mountain to settle?"

  Wang Yun said calmly, "The employer pays the money, we do the job, as for other situations, you don't need to ask too much." Although he was a martial artist by birth, he had some skill in handling people. After many years of tempering, he had also tempered out a set of skills for dealing with subordinates, knowing what to say and what not to say.

  Li Yifeng, as a Suzhou tycoon, has a good reputation and connections with the Flowing Horse Eighteen Bandits. This in itself is a serious crime that cannot be exposed to light - of course, this was not their first time doing business together, they had previously collaborated multiple times, and had even cut off chicken heads and burned yellow paper together.

  It sounds incredible, but in fact it's just a matter of taking what you need. With Li Yifeng, Wang Yun can get a lot of money and inside information; while using Wang Yun, Li Yifeng can do many things that he cannot do in person.

  For example, this case: Abducting Lu Xiuyue.

  That night, after Lu Xi was taken away midway, Li Da Guan Ren still had a lingering feeling. At the time, he was only restrained by Huang Fu's face and couldn't make a move, so he could only send someone to follow up and investigate.

  This investigation couldn't be more unexpected, and Li Yifeng finally discovered that Lu Xiyue was a descendant of the Lu family - in the past, Li Yifeng had used his father's trust to sabotage Lu's business with sinister plots, causing him to fail miserably. Then, he used various means to swallow up the other party's property, directly leading to Lu Xiyue's parents dying in regret.

  How can such a great hatred be revenged?

  Looking back on the cause and effect, Li Yifeng could even determine that Lu Xishuang was likely to come and assassinate him on the boat that night. It's simply "cutting grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows again".

  After investigating Lu Xiuyue's identity and background, Li Da Guanren was like a thorn in his back. Finally, he came up with a plan and offered a generous reward to the eighteen bandits to take action. They ambushed Lu Xiuyue halfway and took him to a desolate mountain ridge where they imprisoned him. Then, Li went to have some fun with him before leaving him for the eighteen bandits to deal with.

  Falling into the hands of those eighteen evil men, Lu Xi Yue would rather die than be humiliated. At that time, she might even wish for death with all her heart.

  He asked the eighteen bandits to take action, Li Yifeng mainly because he was worried about Huangfu's external affairs, fearing that Huangfu would come forward to help Lu Xiyue pursue justice and investigate himself. With the existence of the eighteen bandits, he could completely clear his suspicions.

  After walking for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Wang Yun and his bandits arrived at a huge rock cave called "Jiguan Cave", which was not hidden but rather remote, located on top of a large mountain, where basically no one came normally, so it became a temporary stronghold for the mountain bandits.

  Entering the cave, the mountain bandits put Lu Xi aside, removed the hemp bag, and the girl still had her eyes tightly closed, unconscious.

  A group of men ignored her and went aside to start a fire.

  Wang Yun ordered the four Han men to go outside and patrol, and called Chen You to come forward, instructing him in a low voice. Chen You understood, secretly grasping two flying knives in his hand, and walked out of Jiguan Cave, patrolling along the edge.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, while searching with his eyes, a bright shadow appeared on top of a pine tree to his right.

  "This time, if I don't take you down with one slash, all my training in heavenly flying knives would have been for nothing!"

  Chen Youping was proud of his flying knife skills and gave himself the nickname "Heavenly Flying Knife", which made him feel mighty.

  He crept closer a few steps without making a move, when the strange bird suddenly turned its head and spoke in human language: "You shameless little thief, sneaking up on me!"

  This shout was extremely sudden and eerie. Chen You was frightened, his mind in a state of great disorder, to the point where he couldn't even stand steadily, let alone throw flying knives. His hands trembled as he pointed: "Monster! There's a monster!" Although he was a mountain bandit, accustomed to robbery and plunder, with a bold and daring nature, when he suddenly heard a bird speaking human language in a clear and melodious voice, for the time being, he was still frightened out of his wits.

  He turned back and rushed into the cave.

  Upon hearing his cries for help, Wang Yun and others rushed out immediately.

  "There's a monster! There's a monster!"

  Wang Yun's face sank, and he seized Chen Yu by the chest, shouting: "Chen Yu, have you gone mad? What are you yelling about?"

  Chen You's face turned pale with fright, and he began to speak incoherently.

  After listening, Wang Yun furrowed his brow: "Are you sure that bird can talk?"

  Chen You nodded and said, "Alright."

  Wang Yun suddenly burst out laughing: "Chen You, Chen You, you claim to be the invincible Flying Knife Hand, but even a bird is afraid of you. It's not strange for birds to talk, don't parrots and mynah birds learn to mimic human speech? This bird may look a bit unusual, maybe it's some special breed, but learning to speak human language isn't that extraordinary."

  He said that, Chen You suddenly reacted and his face turned slightly red.

  Wang Yun said, "We have been roaming the deep mountains and forests for a long time, and we have seen countless things. What kind of monster have we ever seen? How can there be monsters in this world? I don't believe it at all. Hmph, this bird speaks human language, it must have some origin. Let's go out and capture it alive."

  ”

  Having said that, one person took the lead and walked out with his head held high; a group of subordinates followed closely behind. However, after searching around, they couldn't see any trace of the strange bird again, probably it had flown away early.

  Wang Yun didn't mind, and ordered someone to go outside and hunt down a large wild boar. He used a knife to split open its belly, cleaned it up, and then roasted it over an open flame.

  They are experienced and have various seasonings such as oil and salt by their side, after a while, a fragrant roasted wild boar is almost done.

  At this time, Wang Yun walked over to Lu Xi Yue's side and saw that the girl still had her eyes tightly closed. He coldly laughed and said: "Lu girl, don't pretend anymore, playing this trick in front of me is useless. I've known for a long time that you're already awake and trying to eavesdrop on our conversation. But let me tell you the truth, your life won't make it to see tomorrow's sun, so even if you eavesdrop more, it's all useless."

  He finished speaking, and the girl's eyelids slowly opened, but there was no sign of panic, instead filled with an unexpected calmness.

  Wang Yun looked as if he hadn't seen anything, took a piece of wild boar meat and placed it on the stone beside him, his face expressionless, saying: "If you feel hungry, then eat."

  Lu Xi took a bite of the meat without saying a word, and then devoured it in big mouthfuls.

  Wang Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration - he had plundered, ravaged and trampled many women before, but never seen one as calm and composed as Lu Xiuyue.

  Unfortunately, this is the person Li Yifeng specifically wants, otherwise it would be good to stay and become a village lady.

  "Someone will definitely come to save me."

  After devouring a large piece of meat, Lu Xiyo raised his head, as if muttering to himself, but his tone was extremely firm.

  Wang Yun smiled calmly, having heard such self-consoling words many times before, only to have the final result prove to be an illusion, deceiving himself.

  He returned alone to the other side and had a big feast with his men, the meat was good and the wine was fragrant. While eating and drinking, several men gathered together to play rock-paper-scissors for fun.

  Suddenly, the secluded cave was filled with loud noises, as if they were not afraid of being heard - originally, they were not afraid. The desolate mountains and wild ridges were already over ten miles away from the nearest official road, where would anyone be able to track them down? As for the efficiency of the government's handling of cases, Wang Yun and others knew it best. Just investigating the scene, taking statements, and other procedures would take at least three to five days to complete. By the time they finished going through the motions, they would have long since disappeared.

  As for Lu Xi Yue, it was either abandoning the corpse in the wilderness or burying it on the spot.

  The sky was near dusk, a piece of sunset reflected obliquely and fell to the ground, reflecting a few remaining glows.

  Suddenly, one of the rays of light dimmed, and a long shadow emerged on the ground.

  "Who?"

  Wang Yun reacted the fastest, letting out a loud shout, and the long knife at his waist was already grasped in his hand.

  With this drink, all the noisy voices seemed to be cut off by a sharp knife, and they stopped abruptly. Everyone inside looked up at the entrance, just seeing a beautiful girl with a slender figure walking in slowly. She was only 15 or 16 years old, with a delicate face, charming eyes, and a beauty that was not inferior to Lu Xiangxiao. However, between her eyebrows and eyes, a hint of natural cunning was revealed.

  "Who are you?"

  Wang Yun's heart skipped a beat - this woman appeared silently and unnoticed, and the two brothers on guard outside were completely unaware, absolutely not normal.

  The girl stretched out her hand and twisted a long lock of hair hanging in front of her chest, with a sweet smile: "Can't you all see that I'm a woman?"

  Her smile is sweet and pure, almost flawless, just like a fairy who accidentally stepped into the mortal world.

  Fox spirit.
