Wu Keji and Yue Feng sat on the ice, holding the fishing line in their hands. They casually lifted the bait up and down and shook it a few times. When there was no response from the underwater fishing line, he put his arms down again.

At this time, Wu Keji glanced casually and immediately pushed Yue Feng who was sitting next to him.

“Xiaofeng, be careful, there are people coming over the ridge!”

Hearing the call, Yue Feng looked around and saw a mountaineering group of people and horses in the distance, and his brows frowned slightly.

“Five people and two horses! These people are most likely coming to the Holy Maiden Lake to look for toads!” Yue Feng said in a low voice.

“We definitely won’t be gathering herbs this season! You’re right, it should be the same purpose as ours!
Your friend, is he offering a reward for finding the Moon-gazing Frog?” Wu Keji asked.

“Yes, there is indeed a reward! It seems to be ten thousand yuan!” Yue Feng nodded.

“Let’s stop fishing for now and go back to inform everyone! Those who come here in this remote area are not good people. If they are not familiar with us, we must be careful!”

“go!”

After a few words, the father and son reached a consensus, roughly rolled up the fishing gear, then got up and returned to the cellar.

The temperature in the cellar was at least 20 degrees Celsius. Xiao Tao, Xiao Wu and two other soldiers were sitting by the fire and chatting lazily.

Wu Keji: “Stop playing around, load up your bullets, someone’s coming!”

“Someone’s here? What’s going on, sir?”

When Xiao Tao heard the call, he stretched out his arm and grabbed the 56 and a half in his hand. Instead of being nervous, he felt a little excited.

Yue Feng continued, “Five people and two horses came down from the ridge. They were wrapped up so tightly that we couldn’t see their faces. Uncle Wu and I analyzed it and found that they must have accepted the reward and came to find the Moon-gazing Frog!

When they get down the ridge, we will go meet them and see what they are like. Then everyone should be smart!”

Hearing this, Xiao Tao’s eyes widened: “Fuck! Has anyone else also heard that Fairy Lake is here?
What’s the point of that? We have already occupied the field, can we give it to them who come later?”

Xiao Tao’s words are rough but his point is that no matter whether you go into the mountains to hunt or collect herbs, strangers generally won’t deliberately get involved in the same place.

Everything on the mountain is ownerless, so it’s a first come first served basis.

If something is being eyed by someone, those who come later who want to participate will either take the initiative to propose cooperation and everyone will distribute the profits according to the rules.

If the first ones disagree, then the later ones can only withdraw, otherwise friction will easily arise due to interests.

Swords and guns have no eyes, and no one is invulnerable. Once it comes to the point of tearing each other’s faces apart, no one will benefit, and most of the time both sides will suffer.

Yue Feng glanced at Xiao Tao and was about to speak up to reprimand his brother, but Uncle Wu nodded and spoke first: “Xiao Tao’s words make sense, but how to operate requires careful methods and techniques!
When I lead a team into the mountains, I always use courtesy before force.

If they know what’s best for them, we can just live in peace and go back to where we came from. But if they dare to show their teeth, I won’t tolerate it no matter who it is!

If we can’t come to an agreement and the fight really starts, you kids, don’t be soft-hearted, or it will hurt everyone!”

“Okay, sir, whatever you say, I’ll do it!

Wang Chao, Ma Liang, are you two brothers okay?

If you are not prepared, you can tell us in advance, so as not to fail at the critical moment! ” Seeing that Uncle Wu had expressed his opinion, Yue Feng also expressed his opinion immediately.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Wu Yue Feng knew that at the critical moment, no matter whether it was a fight or a gunfight, nothing would go wrong.

But it’s hard to say for sure about the two soldiers Yue Feng, this kind of thing must be considered in advance.

However, Wang Chao and Ma Liang’s reactions were much stronger than Yue Feng expected.

The two brothers looked at each other and said in unison: “Before we came here, Young Master Wang said that we should follow the captain’s orders. We will do whatever you say!
We obeyed the captain’s orders in everything, including shooting at the enemy!”

After hearing what Wang Chao and Ma Liang said, Yue Feng and Wu Keji felt much more relaxed.

In this kind of head-on conflict deep in the mountains, if there are two soldiers with rich practical experience in the team, the combat effectiveness will definitely be much higher.

“Okay! Now that you guys said that, I know what to do! Everyone, grab your weapons and go out and wait at the bottom of the ridge!”

At Uncle Wu’s call, everyone immediately stood up, put on their clothes, checked their guns, and then filed out of the cellar.

After coming out of the cellar, Yue Feng habitually glanced towards the distant ridge. The later troops were still halfway up the ridge and had not come down yet.

According to the normal walking speed down the ridge, it is enough for Yue Feng’s team to prepare.

Wu Keji also looked up, then led everyone to rush in the direction where the other party was going down the mountain.

When they walked about 700 to 800 meters, Wu Keji pointed to a ditch nearby that was out of sight and said, “Xiao Wang and Xiao Ma, who of you has better shooting skills? Go hide in the ditch over here!”

The two brothers looked at each other, and Wang Chao said, “We both have similar shooting skills, so why don’t I go? I’m smaller, so I can hide better!”

Wu Keji nodded and said in a very calm tone: “Okay, then you go and hide.

If you can’t talk to each other and the other party shows signs of being aggressive, if he dares to use a gun, then you just shoot directly, and if anything goes wrong, Young Master Wang will take care of it for you!”

“it is good!”

Hearing this, Wang Chao nodded, left the team with his gun on his back, took a detour, and quietly returned to the side of the ditch.

The rest of the people followed Uncle Wu and Yue Feng, striding towards the direction the newcomers must have passed.

After waiting in the open air for about ten minutes, the hunting team came down from the ridge, leading their horses, and came towards us.

The other side also discovered the five people that Yue Feng had exposed.

Standing about thirty or forty meters away, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Wu Keji took a step forward and was the first to ask about the other party’s background.

“You have come from afar, thank you for your hard work! Where did you get this from? The place has a nest, are you here to chase roe deer or pigs? Or are you passing by to collect herbs?”

Although Uncle Wu was thin, when he stood in front of him, he naturally exuded the fierce aura unique to an old mountain dweller.

Master Xi understood the ways in which the old generation drove the mountain people into the mountains. He signaled Qiao Muzhou not to speak, took a step forward, and threw a punch.

“Brother Xi Guoyong, I don’t hunt pigs or deer, I come to Saint Maiden Lake to find something! Which mountain is this expert from?”

Hearing the three words “Xi Guoyong”, Uncle Wu felt a little relieved.

“Is your grandfather called Xi Wanchuan? I am Wu Keji from the Songyuan Gang!!”

Uncle Wu introduced himself, and the other party was shocked when he heard the name.

“Master Wu, Xi Wanchuan is indeed my father! What are you doing in this freezing weather?”

Since both sides have heard of each other’s names and can talk to each other, it is naturally much easier to communicate than when they are completely strangers. Wu Keji’s gang is not only famous in Tiecheng, but also in the surrounding areas of Songyuan. People in the circle have to give him some face.

Wu Keji said in a deep voice: “I was asked by someone to come to Saint Lake to find something. If you have the same purpose, then go back!
The rules for entering the mountains are first come first served, you are late!”

Hearing this, Master Xi looked bitter.

He couldn’t afford to offend the thin old man in front of him, as he was a master of the same generation as his father.

When Master Xi followed his father to make a living in the mountains, Uncle Wu had already become a well-known figure in the area.

There are many requirements for the ginseng collection business, but the threshold is not high. To be able to gain a prominent reputation among many competitors and stand firm for decades, there must be corresponding means behind it.

“Third Master, we are late. The old man on the opposite side is also here to look for Toad. According to the rules, unless the other party agrees to join the gang, we have to give way!”

Master Xi said to Qiao Muzhou, who was wrapped tightly in a fox fur hat.

In fact, Qiao Muzhou knew the rules here, but he had spent so much effort to climb up the mountain and come to the Holy Maiden Lake, he couldn’t just send him away with a few words.

So, after hearing Master Xi’s explanation, Qiao Muzhou did not respond, as if he did not hear Master Xi’s words.

Wang Yufei, who was traveling with them, had been following Qiao Saner for some years, and he could immediately understand what the other party meant by a move or reaction.

So, the next second, Wang Yufei walked up to Master Xi.

“This Holy Maiden Lake is the territory of the Communist Party. Why can you come here but we can’t?
We are the people of Qiao Muzhou, the Third Master Qiao. If you give us face, please make way for us and let us do our best!”

When Yue Feng, who had been silent all this time, heard Wang Yufei mention Qiao Muzhou, he also took a step forward.

“Master, Qiao Muzhou had previously set a trap for me because of the tiger incident!”

Yue Feng lowered his voice and whispered softly beside Wu Keji.

Wu Keji nodded slightly after listening.

“What if you don’t give me face?”

As soon as the words came out, the situation became tense. Although people on both sides did not grab their weapons immediately, they were on edge.

Seeing that his name did not intimidate the crowd, Qiao Muzhou knew that he had run into a tough guy, and immediately stepped forward from behind Master Xi.

“Hello, Master Wu. Qiao Saner greets you! This matter is very important to me. If you have any requests, please let us know so that we can discuss it!”

“We can’t discuss it! Not to mention you coming, even your father Qiao Chuxiong would lose face if he came!

Now turn around and go back, everything is fine. If you want to try my methods, don’t blame me for bullying the weak and showing no mercy to the younger generation!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yufei next to him immediately stopped and was about to pick up the gun without hesitation, but Master Xi quickly grabbed him.

“Third Master, we are late for this matter. We are not in the right! Master Wu has also come out. Let’s go back!”

This was the first time in the past ten years that Qiao Muzhou had been humiliated in public like this.

But Master Xi’s skills and qualifications are there, and he has reminded himself again and again that if he turns against him rashly, he will most likely suffer a loss.

“Then I will leave! Xiaofei, let’s go! We will come visit you again when we have the chance!!”

Qiao Muzhou’s face turned pale and he turned around and left.

Even after Qiao Muzhou’s hunting team walked several hundred meters away, Yue Feng and his men still stood there without moving.

Wu Keji is like a green pine tree, with his back straight.

Everyone watched Qiao Muzhou’s group return to the ridge, and Wu Keji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Go back first, this is going to be hard to deal with today!”

“Uncle, Qiao Muzhou is not the kind of person who would keep silent after suffering a loss. This grandson probably has a backup plan!” Yue Feng reminded in a low voice.

“Well, his father is not a funny guy either! He is a bad guy! Didn’t he recognize you just now?”

Wu Keji looked at Yue Feng with concern and asked.

Yue Feng shook his head: “I don’t think he recognized them! Everyone was wearing hats and wrapped up tightly, and the distance was at least thirty meters away. It was difficult to see their faces with just a pair of eyes!”

“That’s fine! Go back first, Xiao Ma, and follow them quietly for a while. Find out where they are settling before dark, and then come back and tell me!” Wu Keji ordered.

“Okay, Master Wu!”

Ma Liang responded, but did not follow back. Instead, he was a little slow, chose another area with a blind spot, and followed quietly.

On the other side, Qiao Muzhou, who had walked a mile away, asked Master Xi curiously, “Master Xi, where did this Master Wu come from? Why haven’t I heard of his name?”

Master Xi had a look of relief at having escaped death: “Third Master, Wu Keji, nicknamed the Living Map, also known as the Living King of Hell, is a well-known gang leader!

Among the older generation who have been running in the mountains for many years, how many have not heard of his name!

His territory is not just the three acres of land in Tiecheng, the entire Songyuan is his territory!
He has at least a hundred brothers under him, and if you include peripheral personnel, the number could be more than several hundred!
He has already given us face just now. No matter if it was directed at my dad or your father, he held back.

If it had been twenty years ago, we would have all been buried in the mountains today just because Xiao Fei dared to show his teeth and pull out his gun in provocation! “

Hearing this, Wang Yufei was not happy. He spat and said indignantly: “Fuck, why is he so awesome?

Doesn’t Wu Keji also have a head on two shoulders?

I just don’t believe it. There are five of them and five of us. We meet on a narrow road. We all have guns. Can they bury us in the mountains?”

Master Xi gave Wang Yufei a meaningful look and said, “How do you know there are only five of them?
When we come down from the ridgeline, people will be able to see us in advance from at least a few kilometers away, and they will be waiting for us there. Are you sure that if a fight breaks out, there won’t be people hiding in the ditches and gullies nearby?
The content of the commission I accepted from Master San is to take you up the mountain safely, and then bring you back safely. There is no clause in the commission that mentions a fight with Wu Keji!
Now that we are safe, I will just talk it out.

If you still want to save face, or test the opponent’s firepower, then I don’t want the remaining balance. Let’s say goodbye. Whatever happens on the mountain later has nothing to do with me!”

Hearing Master Xi’s serious and solemn words, Qiao Muzhou’s idea of ​​sending people down the mountain to get back at the enemy and then coming back to take back the throne was immediately extinguished.

After all, Qiao Muzhou is not a mountain runner who makes a living by wandering in the mountains.

He was just a wealthy man whose family had some power, some money, and who liked hunting.

It is not an exaggeration to describe him as Ye Gong who loves dragons.

If he is allowed to bully the weak, that’s fine, but if he meets a tough guy, he won’t be able to handle the situation with the cards in his hand.

“Hey! Don’t say anything, let’s go down the mountain first, and make plans after we meet up with the people in the camp below!” (End of this chapter)
