Chapter 411 How bold a person is, how productive the land is

I had just climbed a few steps when the translator grabbed my feet and said, "Don't climb so fast. What if you attract the enemy when you get out? Wait a moment and climb out one by one."

When I got here and didn't find any enemies, they came one after another. What were you doing when you were so far away from me just now?

But I couldn't show it too obviously, so I lowered my head and said, "Okay, then I'll crawl slower."

Soon someone caught up with me, and I had to climb up slowly.

This well is more than 20 meters deep. Even if I climb halfway, it will still be more than 10 meters. If I climb slower, I can buy more time for Zhao Zhenyuan.

But I finally finished climbing the more than ten-meter-long well. When I poked my head out of the well, I saw myself in a yard.

The yard is not big, but it is built in a unique way.

There are pavilions, rockery, pavilions and many trees in the yard. It is winter now, and everything is covered in silver. If spring comes, the snow melts, the trees sprout, and the yard is full of green and vitality. How poetic and picturesque it would be.

I was still looking around when the person under my feet pushed me and said a lot of gibberish. I didn't need to translate, he was definitely urging me to get out quickly.

I quickly climbed up the well, then reached out and pulled the person below me up.

I wasn't trying to please them, and I was too unfamiliar with this place to have any idea where I was, so I pulled them up and showed them the way.

Soon, Zhou Wu and his guards all climbed out of the well.

Zhou Wu glanced at the pitch-black surroundings, and suddenly heard screams and hisses coming from afar. He paused, and his already dark face became as dark as if ink was dripping out.

I also heard the roar of killing coming from afar, and deliberately said, "General Zhou, listen, is that roar coming from the stable? I didn't lie to you, did I? I said that Zhao Zhenyuan found the passage over there and sent people to kill him."

The translator slapped me on the forehead and said, "Stop talking nonsense and quickly find a way for General Zhou to retreat."

I said "Oh" and quickly climbed over the wall, lying on it and looking around. It turned out that our courtyard was in a relatively remote place in the front yard of the Martial Arts Academy. The courtyard was so big and there were many houses around it. I guessed that this should be the courtyard building, otherwise no one else would be qualified to own such a big courtyard.

It's just that it's vacation now, and the dean should have gone back to his home, so no one lives in this yard.

I saw that the stable was ablaze with fire and there were constant sounds of fighting. It must be that some rebels escaped through that passage and were stopped.

But where are Zhao Zhenyuan’s people?

Where should I take Zhou Wu so that he can meet Zhao Zhenyuan's people?

I was lost in thought when the translator called me from the foot of the courtyard wall, "What are you still daydreaming about? Come down and lead the way."

At this moment, I suddenly remembered that when I just walked into the front yard of the Martial Arts Academy tonight, I saw the patrol soldiers coming out of a house. That house should be the base where Zhao Zhenyuan and his men stayed!

But the people in that room should have been guarded, so Zhang Jing's cloud-piercing arrow failed to summon them out.

In that case, I'll take Zhou Wu and the others to see what's going on.

Thinking of this, I quickly escaped from the city wall and said, "I know where the back door is. There is no one guarding it, so we can escape from it. We can pretend to be the Dayu army and walk through it with confidence. However, General Zhou does not speak the Dayu language. If we encounter the Dayu army asking questions, General Zhou and his men must not speak. I will handle everything."

The translator translated my words to Zhou Wu word for word. After listening to it, although Zhou Wu's face turned a little dark, he still nodded to show that he agreed.

So I divided Zhou Wu and his guards into two rows, with Zhou Wu in the middle of the team and the translator following behind me. Even Zhou Wu thought this arrangement was good, so no one suspected me anymore.

We brought torches when we came out of the secret room, so I sneaked into the house and found two lanterns, lit them, gave one to the translator, and took one for myself, and walked out of the yard with a swagger.

After leaving the yard, I walked straight towards Zhao Zhenyuan's base without stopping.

Although everything was pitch black in the middle of the night, there were voices in that room. They were faint and fragmentary, coming from far away. Although I couldn't hear them clearly, they were like a navigation system that could successfully lead me there.

Our group walked extremely quietly. The translator and I didn't speak, and the people behind us were even more afraid to speak, for fear that if they spoke, someone would hear us and expose our true identity.

I acted too calm and the translator once doubted me, but the situation was critical now. He and Zhou Wu were unfamiliar with everything here, so they could only try their best and pin their hopes of leaving on me.

The translator clearly remembered that when they first came to the Martial Arts Academy from Xihe Country, before they even had time to sit down, they heard that people from Dayu Country were coming to kill them. They were so scared that they were immediately led into a secret room, where they have been hiding until now. They have been living in fear for the past few days, unable to sleep or eat, fearing that they would lose their heads if they were not careful. Now they are full of resentment, thinking that if they get out, they will find trouble with that person as soon as possible!

This way, the suspicion towards me was somewhat alleviated.

I walked with this team in a swagger, but the patrolmen, seeing us, walked around us from a distance and did not come forward to cause trouble for us.

The translator beside me was amazed and whispered to me, "Brother, I didn't expect your idea to be feasible."

I snorted and boasted, "Don't look down on my young age. I've done a lot of stealing, kidnapping, and robbing. I don't have any special skills, but I'm very brave. Have you ever heard that the bolder a person is, the more fertile the land will be?"

The translator thought for a moment and said honestly, "Please forgive my ignorance. I have never heard of it."

I said with disdain, "I knew you hadn't heard of it. You act like a country bumpkin. What I mean is that as long as you are bold enough, the world is yours."

My twisted logic actually made the translator stunned. After a long while, he said, "I didn't expect that you have such lofty ideals and vision. I really admire you."

I waved my hand and said, "You're too polite. I'm just a small soldier now. It's a bit ostentatious to talk about my ideals. The most important thing right now is to escape and not be caught by Zhao Zhenyuan's men."

The translator said quickly, "Yes, yes, you are right, little brother. Hey, I am not afraid to tell you, we just arrived in Dayu Country and were taken to that secret room and locked up for several days. We have not seen the sun for a day, and we have only eaten dry food and drank snow water, which makes us feel very depressed. As long as you lead us out of danger, when we return to Xihe Country, our general will definitely reward you handsomely."
