Gu West Wind handed the dagger, token, and some bottles to Monkey and accelerated to the front of the bandit squad. He chose an empty place and squatted on the ground, pretending to cry..

The bandit squad found Gu West Wind crying in the patrol process and surrounded him cautiously..

" That child, what are you doing? Why are you crying in this forest?" A man who looked like a leader among the bandits walked forward and asked in an unfriendly tone..

Gu Xifeng raised his head and looked at the bandits who had gathered around him. He did not reply and cried even harder..

"Stop crying, it's annoying. Why are men crying? They're asking you a question.

"The leader's face was impatient and his brows were furrowed..

Gu West Wind looked timidly at this fierce man. He no longer cried, but sobbed non-stop..

"If you don't speak, I'm going to make a move..

The man raised his hand as if to hit Gu Xifeng..

" Uncle, don't hit me. I live at the foot of the mountain and went hunting with my father. Then I got separated from him for fun. Uncle, I want to go home!" Gu Xifeng cried again..

"Don't cry anymore. You don't look like a man. I'll help you find your father..

The man is still impatient, but his tone has eased a lot..

"Thank you, Uncle..

Seeing this, Gu Xifeng stopped crying and obediently walked around with the bandits..

"I guessed correctly. These people aren't real bandits. Why would bandits meddle in such matters? Even if they didn't kill the children, they would still leave them alone. However, the more so, the more complicated these people are..

Gu Xifeng thought to himself..

In a bush not far away, Monkey quietly watched Gu Xifeng's performance and chuckled..

After searching for about two hours, the bandit man's face became more and more gloomy as time passed..

Even if you were separated from your family, you should have found him after so long. Don't tell me your father left you and went down the mountain..

"The horse thief man looked at Gu Xifeng and said fiercely..

"Captain, this kid is lying to us, right?.

"I feel suspicious, where did the lost child come from in the mountains?".

"Not a spy, I'm afraid..

"How can there be such a small spy? I don't know if he's weaned.".

The bandits started discussing, and the man called Captain also had a headache. He gently stroked his forehead..

"Never mind.

The bandit captain whispered, as if he had made up his mind, and grabbed Gu Xifeng..

Gu Xifeng mobilized some of his power and reached out to stop the captain's hand before retreating..

"Good boy, there's indeed a problem. You're still a practitioner..

"Gu Xifeng's performance made the captain feel good. If it was really a lost child, he didn't know what to do, but if it was a suspicious guy, it would be much easier to deal with.".

The captain did not take out his sword and attacked Gu Xifeng barehanded. Gu Xifeng only displayed the strength of the initial stage of the entry-level, and the captain who faced the strength of the late stage of the entry-level was quickly captured..

The victory won the loud cheers of the bandits. A strong bandit tied Gu Xifeng up, and the bandits escorted him to the depths of the top mountain..

Monkey fell far behind the team, and the horse thieves were not noticed..

There used to be a group of bandits with hundreds of people on Tuopu Mountain. Now, the stronghold originally belonging to that group of bandits had changed owners. The unlucky bandits had also been slaughtered and buried in the forest behind the stronghold..

This group of bandits were unlucky, but their deaths weren't in vain. They often burned, killed, and plundered. Almost everyone had blood on their hands..

The current owner of the stronghold was the gang of bandits who captured seven members of the Seven Kills Camp. There were countless open and hidden sentries around the stronghold, making it extremely difficult to infiltrate. Even if they launched an army attack, no armored soldiers with more than a thousand people would be able to gain any benefits here..

Although this group of people did not wear armor and dressed the same as ordinary people in the green forest, it could be seen from the fortifications and individual qualities that these people must have come from the ranks and were quite elite in the army..

The team escorting Gu Xifeng entered the stronghold smoothly. The sentry posts on the road did not say anything and let them go one after another..

Gu Xifeng discovered that there were many temporary tents in the courtyard of the stronghold. It seemed that the number of people disguised as bandits was definitely not small. There should be at least five to six hundred people in the formation..

The team led Gu Xifeng straight to the main hall of the stronghold. At this moment, there were a few people in the main hall who were respectfully reporting something to the people at the top. When they saw the team bringing strangers in, they immediately stopped talking..

The person sitting at the top was about thirty years old. He was not tall and strong, but he was very handsome. His bearded face was hard to hide. His face was angular, his nose was straight, his lips were thin, and his eyes were bright..

His clothes and iron hair crown on his head couldn't hide his dignified temperament, but the silver hair occasionally appeared to be a little old..

The weapon placed beside the man attracted Gu West Wind's attention. It was a pair of weapons, and even if they were placed flat, one could tell that they were extremely extraordinary..

Two pieces of information emerged in Gu Xifeng's mind.

"Eight-edged Silver Flood Dragon Hammer, forged from nameless metal. It is a short-handled double-hammer. The handle is one foot long. The hammer head is octagonal in shape. It has a dragon pattern carved on it. Each hammer weighs 80 jin. When waved, it carries a dragon roar. Legend has it that the dragon power is infused into it. The owner is Wu Beiwang..

"Wu Beiwang, the former deputy commander of the Huben Army of Jin 'an Dynasty, the son of Wu Huaiqing, the martial arts master of Jin' an, joined the army at the age of 18 and fought north with Chu Youshe, Duke of Anguo. He made great achievements. At the age of 26, he was promoted to the deputy commander of the Huben Army. He was strict in military management and polite to the wise. He was deeply loved by his peers in the army. He had excellent martial arts talent and became a master before he was 30..

"After the change of Jin 'an, Chu Youshe had not yet returned to the Huben Army. Wu Beiwang led his trusted men to leave. No one in the Huben Army dared to stop him. From then on, he disappeared.".

"What do you mean by that?" he asked."I don't know.".

：.

"Reporting to the commander, we discovered this child when we were patrolling the mountains. He has martial arts and is plotting evil. I suspect that he is a spy of some side. I specially captured him and brought him back to the commander to see.".

"Oh, to be a spy at such a young age is interesting..

Wu Beiwang looked at Gu Xifeng with interest..

"Boy, who sent you? Tell me.

He spoke calmly, but there was a sense of oppression that made people unable to tell the truth..

"Well, Uncle Commander, mine is just an ordinary person who lives at the foot of the mountain. It's just that my father is a hunter. He taught me to strengthen my body since I was young, so I know some martial arts..

"Uncle, I really lost my father hunting in the mountains. Please let me go back.".

"Gu Xifeng's performance was somewhat timid, but he still said his own situation" truthfully "and Wu Beiwang..

" Commander, this kid is full of lies. We listened to him earlier and wandered around the forest for two hours, but we didn't see his father. Even if he really got lost, how could his father not look for him nearby?" The squad leader who led Gu Xifeng up the mountain was a little anxious and hurriedly exposed Gu Xifeng's rumors to Wu Beiwang..

" Oh? This guy isn't bad. Even if I used a trace of grandmaster pressure, I still couldn't make him tell the truth. Not bad, not bad!" Wu Beiwang said in succession. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and a flood dragon phantom appeared behind him. Gu Xifeng only felt a powerful pressure coming over, suppressing him until he couldn't breathe..

Wu Bei's expression changed when he saw that Gu Xifeng could still stand up. He stood up and slapped Gu Xifeng's face. Gu Xifeng felt a strong killing intent and did not dare to delay. He quickly retreated.

Seeing that Gu Xifeng had dodged his attack, Wu Beiwang did not attack Gu Xifeng. Instead, he retreated and sat back in his seat..

Gu West Wind looked at Wu Beiwang cautiously, not daring to act rashly..

"You're not a three-legged cat anymore. Put away your excuses. Now you can tell me why you came..

"Wu Beiwang's mouth rose, and there was an expression on his face as I expected, and his tone was very relaxed..

" I refuse!" Gu Xifeng did not give in. His tone was firm and he was wary of everyone around him..

"I bullied you too much. How about this? I'll order three of my subordinates to fight you. If you win, I won't kill you. How about that?.

Gu Xifeng's stubbornness seemed to arouse Wu Beiwang's interest again, and he looked at Gu Xifeng with provocation..

" Do I have a choice?" Gu Xifeng spread his hands and smiled bitterly..

"Funny, this kid is interesting..

"The captain who brought Gu West Wind came forward and saluted Wu Beiwang.".

"You should try it with him first. Don't underestimate the enemy. This kid should be hiding quite deeply.".

Xu Daye still did not draw his sword, but rushed towards Gu Xifeng. Gu Xifeng easily dodged, and when Xu Daye was about to rush over, he even raised his foot and gently kicked him on the butt. Xu Daye staggered and fell to the ground..

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter. Xu Daye quickly stood up, his face flushed red. He actually pulled out his saber and slashed at Gu Xifeng obliquely..

Gu Xifeng did not panic. He bent down to dodge the blade. When Xu Daye's saber slashed downward, he raised his elbow and bumped it. Xu Daye felt pain in his wrist and the saber was knocked away. Then Xu Daye felt a heavy impact on his chest and was sent flying backward..

Gu Xifeng retracted his right foot and caught Xu Daye's sword..

" Thank you!" He bowed to Xu Daye, who was standing up in a sorry state, and said calmly..

"Nice and clean..

Wu Beiwang clapped his hands at Gu Xifeng, and the meaning of praise was not like falsehood..

He glanced at Xu Daye and frowned..

" Xu Daye, it's fine if the other party draws your saber empty-handed, but you can't even hold your saber. How are you going to fight and kill the enemy in the future? You'll be punished for waving your saber 10,000 times. Set off immediately!" Xu Daye admitted his punishment!" Xu Daye was beaten so badly that he couldn't fight back when he fought with a ten-year-old child. Naturally, he was upset. When he heard that Wu Beiwang's punishment was exactly what he wanted, he did not even take his saber back from Gu Xifeng's hand. He willingly accepted the punishment and vented his anger..

" Xue Jiuchang! You're up for the next round!"" I accept your orders!" A burly man in the hall walked forward and cupped his hands in salute to Wu Beiwang. His voice was muffled. It was obvious that he was a fierce general..

*.

He gently threw Xu Daye's sword aside as if he were throwing out a piece of garbage..

Xue Jiuchang's face was full of anger, and his face was trembling with anger..

" Kid, are you looking down on Dao or me?!" Gu Xifeng was a little confused when he saw his furious opponent. He did not know how to answer..

"Kid, a weapon is a warrior's second life. You can't just throw it away. Give me a reason, or I'll tear you into pieces..

Xue Jiuchang was originally a loud voice, and under the support of anger, his voice rose a few points, shaking Gu West Wind's ears a little painful..

Gu Xifeng scratched his head helplessly and awkwardly." The reason is simple. I wouldn't know how to use it even if I gave it to you…"
