Chapter 140

The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The siege of the Miao people by the southern major sects has made considerable progress.

Since Li Miao left, several major sects each called their people back and arrived at the Miao frontier.

At first, they didn't want to do it for real.

After all, they didn't die. And revenge, for individuals, might be sincere. But for a force or an organization, without a certain benefit, doing it often doesn't have much motivation.

But, the Miao people didn't care about that, seeing a bunch of Han people blocking the door, and they had calculated them before, so they were both panicked and afraid.

The two sides didn't speak the same language and had grudges, so there was no basis for setting a path before fighting. So as soon as they met, several people died.

Seeing blood, and without a channel for communication, the matter couldn't be controlled. It intensified, and by now, they were fighting with real fire.

Beggar Sect Leader Lao Qifeng also told everyone about the Tai'an City matter, deleting the part about Li Miao. If they really destroyed the witchcraft inheritance, it could also be that they heard about the Tai'an City matter and were indignant, eliminating harm for the people.

Now, fame, profit, and grudges were all there.

So several major sects began to kill.

Against such opponents living in the mountains and forests, the army is often powerless. Choosing a team of elite soldiers, letting them get used to climbing mountains and wading water, is the most suitable for dealing with such opponents.

And these martial arts major sects, the disciples in the sect have martial arts, and they are used to sleeping in the open when walking in the Jianghu on weekdays. It can be said that they are the most suitable for dealing with the Miao people.

Some major sects have some dealings with the Miao people on weekdays, collecting some mountain goods and herbs from the Miao villages. They also sent messages to the Miao villages they were familiar with, saying that they were just looking for the twelve branches of the Miao people, and only wanted the culprits, and had no hostility toward other Miao people.

Some Miao villages received the news and saw that the opposite side was not the imperial court's people, so they stopped blocking them desperately.

But in a few days, several major sects attacked the village of the twelve branches of the Miao people. They didn't rush to make a move for a while, and set up camp by themselves.

Right now, several heads are gathered together to discuss the follow-up.

"Everyone, should we fight this village or not?"

Lao Qifeng said.

"Sigh... I'm also hesitating about this matter. This is a hornet's nest, if we don't kill it at once, and leave a seedling, we will be stung by it in the future."

"But, we're already here, we can't just leave like this."

The Cao Gang also shook their heads.

"Chicken ribs, chicken ribs. Tasteless to eat, a pity to discard."

The Emei Sect Leader also agreed.

They didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and they actually attacked in front of the village of the twelve branches. According to their previous thoughts, the imperial court had failed several times, so they just made a show, got a reputation and left.

Who knew that without the Miao people's obstruction, they rushed in and were unstoppable.

An old man sat by the tent, holding a sword and closing his eyes to rest, who was the top expert of the Emei Sect. The Gu beasts released by the Miao people in the middle were all solved by him.

Now, everyone is a bit numb.

Fight, afraid of not killing cleanly, leaving a few witches, staring at them and casting Gu, then they will suffer.

Don't fight... we're already here.

"The relationship between the Miao people and the twelve branches of the Miao people is not as tight as we thought before. Seeing that we are not the imperial court's people, they really didn't work hard and let us in."

Lao Qifeng said.

The Emei Sect Leader sneered.

"Who likes to have an ancestor sitting on their head? The Miao King has been dead for hundreds of years, and the Miao people now don't know how many generations have passed, and don't even know what the Miao King is called. If it weren't for fear that the imperial court's army would destroy them, the Miao people wouldn't care about them, and these twelve branches should have died out long ago."

Lao Qifeng waved his hand: "Is there still no one coming out to talk?"

"No." The Cao Gang leader spread his hands.

"I sent several batches of disciples to take turns shouting in the Miao language, and there is still no news so far."

"Tsk!"

Lao Qifeng rubbed his chin, feeling it was a bit difficult, and secretly thought.

"Hasn't Lord Li arrived yet? Don't tell me he really wants us to carry this matter?"

"Witchcraft and Gu, without official people present, it's trouble for us to touch it."

He was thinking this way, but heard footsteps outside the camp tent.

"Please come this way. All the sect leaders are here."

A Beggar Sect disciple lifted the door curtain.

Lao Qifeng looked up suddenly, and saw Li Miao walking in.

"Yo, everyone is here?"

"Have you eaten?"

Li Miao asked with a smile.

But everyone present stood up, showing horror.

Because Li Miao's attire at this time was very different from when they last met.

A black tight suit, copper sunflower belt, soap-patterned boots. Wearing a black bear fur cloak, wearing a pair of dark black gloves with gold thread, faintly glowing with scarlet.

The characteristic of Tiancan silk is that it fades a bit, and it will only fade gradually over time, and it can't be washed off. Li Miao killed too many people in the past few days, so the gloves gradually became black and red.

Not to mention these... the key is that Li Miao hung a waist token on his waist.

The waist token of the Embroidered Uniform Guard thousand-household.

"This, this, Hero Li, you..."

The Cao Gang leader pointed at the waist token, and couldn't speak clearly.

"Oh, this."

Li Miao realized suddenly, and shook the waist token.

"I forgot to bring it before, I just turned it out of my luggage a few days ago, so I brought it."

"Didn't scare everyone, did I?"

Several people shook their heads one after another.

"No, no."

"Where are the words... Hero Li plays in the Jianghu, we can know you, it is also an honor."

Li Miao smiled.

This is still the news that Bu Lei is dead and cannot be made public. Otherwise, he would take out the Commander's waist token, and these people would be trembling and almost leaving.

"After parting last time, I didn't expect you to do things so neatly, and you have already arrived at the bottom of the village of the twelve branches."

Li Miao walked to the main seat and sat down by himself.

"What is the chapter now?"

Several people exchanged glances secretly, their thoughts racing, but they were helpless for a while.

What can they do?

Even if they were used as guns by the imperial court, they had already fought here. The grudges were formed, and the things were done, so it's better to honestly cooperate with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and they can ask for some benefits from the official side in the future.

Several sect leaders were smart people, and understood the pros and cons in an instant.

Without a trace of hesitation, the Emei Sect Leader made a choice that was entirely instinctive.

"Sir, look!"

He pulled out a map, squeezed the Cao Gang leader away with his butt, and walked to Li Miao's table to spread it out.

"Here, here, is the entrance to the village. We sent people to explore, there are great witches guarding with Gu beasts, only top experts can break through."

"Here, is the place where they take water, we have sent people to guard the upstream, and we can cut off their water source at any time. Just don't know if there is a well in the village."

"Here, we sent the corpses of the moving mountain disciples back, and invited a few grave robbers to explore everywhere, only here is a secret passage. If the village is broken, they will definitely retreat from here."

The remaining sect leaders also reacted, cursing the Emei Sect Leader for being shameless while squeezing over together.

"Sir, I have a few disciples here who know the Miao language and know some of their situations!"

"Sir, I have some mechanisms of the Divine Machine Sect here, most suitable for attacking the city!"

"Sir..."
