Chapter 61: Kill First, Then Save

Three days before the Five Mountains Alliance meeting.

Li Miao had a pretty good time these few days.

The working state he had always been pursuing, "you just need to be here," finally allowed him to experience it.

The meals were all freshly made by the Taishan Sect's small kitchen, he could order whatever he wanted to eat, regardless of the time.

The private residence arranged by Zuo Lishan was also quiet, and no one dared to disturb him.

Other errands were handled by Liu Baiyun and Gao Ling.

One was the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect, and the other was an Elder of the Taishan Sect; both were old Jianghu people, and they knew the minds and needs of the people on the mountain at this time.

The two had experience, status, and Li Miao's support. In the situation where Zuo Lishan didn't dare to show his face, they had been pushing things forward in an orderly manner these few days.

At this time, only the Hengshan, Hengshan, and Songshan sect forces remained on the Taishan Sect, as well as a few local small and medium forces that relied on the Taishan Sect to make a living. The others were scared away by the two.

Only waiting for the Five Mountains Alliance meeting in three days, and then dealing with the remaining people together, this errand would be finished.

A rocking chair was placed in the courtyard, and Li Miao lay half-reclined on it, with some seasonal fruits and tea snacks on the table beside him.

*Creak—creak—*

Li Miao hugged his chest with both hands, one leg tucked under him, and one leg hanging on the ground, rocking back and forth.

"The three points of Xiaoluo, Nuhui, and Jianliao of the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, the true energy is walking too fast." Li Miao said lazily with his eyes closed.

Mei Qinghe, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground beside him, subconsciously went to adjust the operation of true energy.

Li Miao had basically been guiding Mei Qinghe to switch her internal energy technique these few days, and it was basically completed at this time.

It was just that the internal energy technique modified by the Plum Blossom Thief before was too radical, leaving some hidden injuries on the meridians, which required Li Miao to make some fine adjustments to the details of Mei Qinghe's weekly operation, and only after nourishing it like this could it gradually improve.

Suddenly, Li Miao opened his eyes and frowned: "Little Si?"

Without seeing any movement, Li Miao disappeared in front of Mei Qinghe in a flash.

At this time, a hundred meters away from the courtyard, Gao Ling was holding Li Xiaosi's hand, galloping toward them with light-body technique.

Suddenly, her eyes blurred, and Li Miao stood in front of the two.

Gao Ling let go of her hand and shouted at Li Miao: "My lord."

When Li Xiaosi saw Li Miao, she suddenly burst into tears: "Grandfather!"

Li Xiaosi herself couldn't do martial arts, and her bones were not much stronger than ordinary people's. At this time, after being bumped on the horse for several days, plus the worry about her lover's accident and the injury suffered by the backlash of the Love Gu, she was already at the end of her rope.

At this time, seeing Li Miao, it was like a daughter who had been wronged outside seeing her father, and her breath relaxed, and her eyes went dark, her feet went soft, and she fell forward.

Li Miao flashed forward, hugged Li Xiaosi in his arms, one hand around her waist, and one hand on her back, slowly passing true energy.

"Alright, alright. I'm here." Li Miao comforted her softly, turned to Gao Ling and said.

"Elder Gao, call all our people over."

Having said that, he turned and walked into the courtyard with Li Xiaosi.

Li Xiaosi lost her mind for a while, and after being passed true energy by Li Miao, she gradually woke up and immediately cried to Li Miao: "Brother Hai is in trouble!"

In a few words, she told what happened in the past few days: Wang Hai went to investigate the Ming Sect Right Envoy, leaving herself in Jinan Prefecture. Shuntian Prefecture sent a eunuch, she came to report the news, the Love Gu was damaged on the way, knowing that Wang Hai had an accident, she came for help.

Love Gu was the thing that the Qipu clan prepared to refine for Squire Wu. It was divided into mother and child Gu, usually a token of love given by a Miao woman practicing witchcraft to her lover.

This thing had three functions: first, a man who received the child Gu could never have intercourse with other women in this life, otherwise he would definitely die of poison immediately.

Second, the mother and child Gu had a connection in the dark, and they could know each other's position through this.

Third, no matter how far away, if the child Gu is damaged, the mother Gu will definitely react.

Judging from the situation of the mother Gu on Li Xiaosi's side, Wang Hai was already seriously injured and in danger.

Li Miao frowned as soon as he heard Li Xiaosi finish speaking.

At this time, the Huashan disciples and Liu Baiyun had received Gao Ling's report and gathered in this courtyard one after another.

Li Miao reached out to Li Xiaosi: "Don't panic, give me the mother Gu."

Li Xiaosi raised her hand under her nose, and a centipede the length of a little finger crawled out of her nose. After coming out, its head raised high, pointing in one direction.

Li Miao took the Gu worm and pointed at Li Xiaosi's neck.

Li Xiaosi fell softly into Li Miao's arms.

"Sect Leader Liu."

Li Miao looked up and called Liu Baiyun, and put Li Xiaosi into her arms: "Take her, all of you leave the mountain immediately, bring luggage and dry food, and find a quiet place at the foot of the mountain to hide."

"Before the Five Mountains Alliance meeting, don't have any contact with anyone, don't let others know your location."

"Set off now."

Liu Baiyun saw Li Miao, who was usually light and breezy and didn't put anything in his eyes, frowning and speaking, knowing that the situation was not good, so she nodded and said yes, and turned to order the disciples to pack their luggage.

Mei Qinghe hadn't spoken to Wang Hai a few times, but she had a good impression of the innocent and lively Li Xiaosi along the way, and the two had long called each other sisters.

At this time, she was already completely convinced by Li Miao, and worried that Wang Hai would have an accident and Li Xiaosi would be sad, so she took the initiative to step forward and say to Li Miao: "My lord, are you going to save Brother Wang?"

"Do you need me to go with you?"

Li Miao waved his hand: "No, I don't ride a horse, I use light-body technique to rush. Your true energy is insufficient, you can't keep up with me."

"You take good care of Little Si, I will definitely be back before the Five Mountains Alliance meeting."

Li Miao looked toward the main hall of the Taishan Sect.

"However, before leaving, I have to settle the matter here."

With Wang Hai's martial arts, to be able to hurt him to such a point, it must be a famous expert in the Ming Sect.

Not a Flag Leader, it's a Protector, or the Left and Right Envoys.

The errand of the Five Mountains Sword Sects had been dragged until now, mainly because one was to release news and scare away those who were not deeply connected with the Taishan Sect, so as not to do things too much and cause dissatisfaction with the Imperial Court in the Jianghu.

Second, it was to openly reveal the Taishan Sect's collusion with the Ming Sect at the Five Mountains Alliance meeting, so as not to give others an excuse to blame the Imperial Court.

Third, it was actually waiting for Zuo Lishan to ask the Ming Sect for help.

At this moment, Shuntian Prefecture sent a eunuch, obviously wanting to grab the credit. And Wang Hai had also fought a battle with the Ming Sect high-level.

These three reasons were not very important at this time.

But Li Miao knew that he couldn't leave the Taishan Sect here and just go to save Wang Hai.

No matter how unbearable Zuo Lishan looked in front of him, he was a real peak expert at this time. If Li Miao left, no one could control him.

A madman who practiced evil arts lost his restraint, and if he colluded with the Ming Sect again, he didn't know what would happen.

Drawing a bow from both sides is often the beginning of losing one and missing the other.

Kill Zuo Lishan first, then save Wang Hai.

After a while, Liu Baiyun's group had packed their luggage and walked down the mountain.

Li Miao made up his mind, immediately used his light-body technique, and galloped toward the main hall of the Taishan Sect.
