Chapter 154: Attacking Cities and Pulling Strongholds
The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The southern major sects' siege of the Miao people had made considerable progress.
Since Li Miao left, several major sects had called for manpower from their own sects and arrived in the Miao territory.
At first, they didn't want to be serious.
After all, they didn't die. And revenge is something that may be sincere for individuals. But for a force, an organization, without a certain benefit, there is often not much motivation to do it.
But, the Miao people didn't care about that, seeing a pile of Han people blocking the door, and they had calculated them before, both panicked and afraid.
The two sides didn't speak the same language, and had grudges, and there was no basis for drawing a path before fighting. So as soon as they met, several people died.
Seeing blood, and having no channel for communication, things couldn't be controlled. It intensified, and by now, it was already a real fire.
Gai Gang leader Lao Qifeng also told everyone about the Tai'an City matter, after deleting the part about Li Miao. If they really destroyed the inheritance of witchcraft, it could also be that they heard about the Tai'an City matter and were indignant, and eliminated harm for the people.
Now, fame, profit, and grudges were all there.
So several major sects began to kill.
Dealing with opponents living in the mountains and forests, the army is often powerless. Choosing a team of elite soldiers, letting them get used to traveling over mountains and 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 on weekdays, which can be said to be the most suitable for dealing with the Miao people.
Some major sects had some dealings with the Miao people on weekdays, collecting some mountain goods and herbs from the Miao villages. They also sent messages to the villages they were familiar with, saying that they were only 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, seeing that the opposite side was not the Imperial Court's people, and no longer tried their best to block.
In just a few days, several major sects had attacked the villages of the twelve branches of the Miao people. They were not in a hurry to do it, and set up camp by themselves.
Right now, several masters were gathered together to discuss the follow-up.
"Everyone, should we fight this village or not?"
Lao Qifeng said.
"Sigh... I am also hesitating about this matter. This is a hornet's nest, if you can't kill it at once, leave a seed, and you will be stung in the future."
"But, we are here, we can't just leave."
Cao Gang also shook his head.
"Chicken ribs, chicken ribs. Tasteless to eat, a pity to discard."
Emei Sect leader also agreed.
They didn't expect things to go so smoothly, actually letting them attack the village of the twelve branches. According to their previous thoughts, the Imperial Court had besieged several times without results, they just made a show, got a reputation and left.
Who knew that without the Miao people's obstruction, they rushed for a while, and it was like a broken bamboo.
An old man sat by the tent, holding a sword and closing his eyes to rest, he was a 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 witch people, staring at them to cast Gu, then they will suffer.
Don't fight... we are here.
"The relationship between the Miao people and the twelve branches of the Miao people is not as close as we thought before. Seeing that we are not the Imperial Court's people, they actually didn't work hard, letting us in."
Lao Qifeng said.
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 current Miao people 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: "Has no one come out to talk yet?"
"No." Cao Gang leader spread his hands.
"I sent several batches of disciples to take turns shouting in Miao language, and there is still no news."
"Tsk!"
Lao Qifeng rubbed his chin, just feeling it was a bit difficult to handle, and secretly said in his heart.
"Hasn't Lord Li arrived yet? Don't tell me he really wants us to carry this matter?"
"Witchcraft, without official people present, we are also troublesome if we touch it."
He was thinking this way, but heard footsteps outside the tent.
"Please come this way. All sect leaders are here."
A Gai Gang disciple lifted the curtain.
Lao Qifeng looked up suddenly, and saw Li Miao stepping in.
"Yo, everyone is here?"
"Have you eaten?"
Li Miao asked with a smile.
Everyone present stood up, revealing a look of horror.
Because Li Miao's attire at this time was very different from the last time they met.
A black tight suit, copper sunflower belt, soap-patterned boots. Wearing a black bear skin cloak, wearing a pair of black gloves with gold silk, faintly glowing with scarlet.
The characteristic of sky silk is that it is a bit dyed, and it will only gradually fade 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.
Embroidered Uniform Guard Battalion Commander waist token.
"This, this, Hero Li, you..."
Cao Gang leader pointed at the waist token, and couldn't speak clearly.
"Oh, this."
Li Miao realized, picked up the waist token and shook it.
"Forgot to bring it before, just turned it out of the 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 the master, it is also an honor."
Li Miao smiled.
This is still the news that Bu Lei is dead cannot be made public. Otherwise, he took out the Suppression Office waist token, I am afraid that these people would be trembling and want to leave.
"After parting last time, I didn't expect everyone to do things so neatly, and have already arrived at the bottom of the twelve branches."
Li Miao walked to the main seat and sat down.
"What is the charter now?"
Several people looked at each other secretly, their minds turned, but they were helpless for a while.
What can they do?
Even if they were used as guns by the Imperial Court, they have already fought here now. The grudge has been formed, and things have been done, it is better to honestly cooperate with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and you can get some benefits from the official side in the future.
Several sect leaders are smart people, and they understood the pros and cons in an instant.
Without a trace of hesitation, Emei Sect leader made a choice that was completely instinctive.
"Master, look!"
He pulled out a map, squeezed Cao Gang leader with his butt, and walked to Li Miao's table and 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. It's just that I don't know if there is a well in the village."
"Here, we sent the corpses of the Banshan disciples back, and invited several tomb 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, while secretly scolding Emei Sect leader for being shameless, they squeezed over together.
"Master, I have several disciples who know Miao language, and know some of their situations!"
"Master, I have some mechanisms of the Divine Machine Sect here, most suitable for attacking the city!"
"Master..."
