"What? How did the eldest brother know that his brother was poisoned?" Yang Ding was shocked. Wasn't he and Wenjun the only ones who knew that he was poisoned? How did his eldest brother find out?

Yang Yan shushed and whispered: "Second brother, since we have left the capital, I won't hide it from you. My siblings and I already know about the poison in your body, and so do you, second brother.

How could this kind of thing be hidden from the people around me? The reason why my siblings didn’t let me tell them was because I didn’t want my second brother to worry. Now that you and I have left the capital, we won’t be able to go back in a short time, so I will tell you this.

Speak out."

Yang Ding sighed softly and said: "I knew I couldn't hide it from Yue Ya for long, but I didn't expect that Yue Ya would know it already. Brother, speaking of this poison attack, it's really strange."

"Oh? How strange?" Yang Yan asked.

Yang Dingdao: "I remember that every time the poison poisoned me before, I felt as if I had suffered a serious internal injury. Especially on the second day, I would feel weak and have no energy. But today, I feel full of strength, and I can even

I can’t even feel the injuries I suffered yesterday. Brother, do you think this is strange?”

Yang Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Second brother, did you really not meet anyone yesterday?"

Yang Ding shook his head and said: "Even if I encounter it, I don't remember it. And who has the ability to cure my internal injuries in one day?"

Yang Yan said: "There are many strange people and strange things in the world, but there are not many who are so sneaky after saving people. Could it be Miss Xiao---?"

"Impossible! It can't be my second sister. My eldest brother should know where my second sister is now. It's impossible for my second sister to appear here after thousands of miles away, and the capital is a forbidden place for my second sister.

!" Yang Ding had no doubts about Xiao Weiyin's determination to become a monk, so he immediately denied Xiao Weiyin's decision.

"Hey, brother, is this ---?" The two of them were talking and walking. Yang Ding felt that this place was very familiar, so he asked.

"This should be the boundary of Hejian Mansion! My second brother entered the capital from here last year. How could you forget?"

Yang Ding patted his head and said: "Why do you think it looks so familiar? Brother, let's set up camp early today. Brother, go somewhere with your brother!"

"What? Dinghong, are you leaving?" When Peng Shi heard that Yang Ding had come to ask for leave, he immediately remembered what happened the day before yesterday, so he kept shaking his head to prevent Yang Ding from leaving.

Yang Ding smiled and said: "Master Peng, there is no need to be nervous. My elder brother is following you this time, and I am going here to ensure our safety in the future."

"Guarantee the safety of the journey ahead? What do you mean by Ding Hong?" Peng Shi asked.

Yang Ding said: "Lord Peng, please forgive me for letting me go. I might not be able to make it back tonight. I will definitely make it back tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

"In this case, you should be more careful if you are a redhead!" Peng Shi said.

"Thank you, Master Peng!"

Yang Ding and Yang Yan resigned from the imperial envoy camp, and Yang Ding identified the direction so that Yang Yan could go all the way east.

When it was getting dark, Yang Ding took Yang Yan to a strange-shaped hill. Yang Yan looked at the mountain and asked, "Second brother, where is this?"

Yang Ding said: "Brother, this is called Mopan Mountain. When my second sister and I came to the capital, we subdued a group of bandits here. The leader of the bandits was called Ding Bao.

He is also a well-known man. Since we are short of manpower when we go south this time, we might as well put Ding Bao in peace for the time being."

"What? Bandits? It's impossible. How could the second brother be so reckless? As the saying goes, it's easy to change a country's nature but hard to change. How did the second brother know that these bandits weren't pretending to surrender at that time?" Yang Yan said.

Yang Ding said: "The worries of the eldest brother are also the worries of the brothers, but it is better to obey the authority in urgent matters and take some risks than not being able to reach Dengzhou Mansion!"

"Having said that, I still think this is too risky. The reason why we suffered a big loss the night before was because our firearms got damp. Now the weather has improved, and there is less rain in the north in spring. By then we will

Let’s take a detour to the Hejian government office to ask for some gunpowder. With the people and equipment I brought this time, I can make enough for a hundred!”

Yang Ding smiled and said: "Having said that, it is not a bad thing to have more people. Let's recruit Ding Bao and other bandits earlier so that we can train them earlier. Brother, the court seems to be calm now, but in fact it is turbulent. It's time for brother to

I’ve cultivated some confidants of my own.”

Yang Yan thought for a moment and finally nodded: "This time I will follow my second brother!"

Not long after, the two came to Mopan Mountain. Yang Ding looked at the familiar village gate and couldn't help but think of the last time he and Xiao Weiyin climbed up to Mopan Mountain. At that time, Xiao Weiyin was still a beautiful bride, and he was probably too.

The first man to see Xiao Weiyin's true appearance, but now he and Xiao Weiyin are far apart. Maybe they miss each other, but Xiao Weiyin leaves her with more and more question marks.

As soon as Yang Ding and Yang Yan reached the top of the mountain, they heard the sound of martial arts training coming from the village. Yang Ding glanced at Yang Yan in surprise and said, "Last time my second sister and I came, they

I haven’t had this habit yet, so why am I practicing it now? Brother, please help me and let us sneak in and see what this Ding Bao is doing."

Although Yang Yan's martial arts cannot be compared with Xiao Weiyin and Tang Luoluo, he can be regarded as a master of the younger generation in the world. In addition, Yang Yan has been fighting in the army for many years, so he has a domineering killing power.

Because of the spirit of cutting, it is very easy for Yang Yan and Yang Ding to have free access to this small Mopan Mountain.

Yang Ding and Yang Yan hid in a hidden corner of the village and observed for a moment. Sure enough, they saw Ding Bao and his brothers practicing martial arts. Because Ding Bao learned Shaolin boxing, his brothers also practiced Shaolin boxing.

After finishing practicing the boxing technique, Ding Bao picked up a long stick from the weapon rack and started practicing again.

Yang Yan only glanced at it and said "Hey". Yang Ding looked at Yang Yan curiously and asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Yang Yan said: "Second brother, this is our reed stick from Wudang Mountain! Although this set of stick techniques is not considered superior in Wudang Mountain, it is simple and practical and is most conducive to marching and fighting. Therefore, not everyone can learn it casually.

You said before that Ding Bao is a Shaolin layman, how can he know our Wudang Kung Fu?"

Yang Ding said: "Brother feels strange when eldest brother says this. I'll ask him later."

After Ding Bao and his brothers finished practicing a set of Wudang reed sticks, Yang Yan whispered: "Second brother, this Ding Bao's stick skills are quite authentic. It doesn't look like he learned them secretly."

Yang Ding nodded, then emerged from his hiding place and shouted to Ding Bao: "Master Ding, do you still recognize me?"

Ding Bao didn't expect that someone was spying on them practicing martial arts from behind.

As soon as Yang Ding finished speaking, dozens of wooden sticks were aimed at them. Ding Bao squinted his eyes and said in surprise: "But Mr. Yang?"

Yang Ding smiled and said: "The leader of Ding Village has good eyesight, it is Yang Ding!"

Ding Bao threw the long stick in his hand to the ground and said with a surprised smile: "Master Yang, are you here for Ding?"

Yang Dingdao: "Exactly, Master Ding, this is my long-lost cousin, Mr. Yang Yanyang, who is currently the commander of the Shenji Camp Central Army. I wonder if what Master Ding said last year still counts?"

Ding Bao was overjoyed and immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Ding has been waiting for Mr. Yang on Mopan Mountain. What Ding said is certainly true!"

Yang Ding then asked: "Ding Bao, how did you learn the Wudang reed stick?"

Ding Bao was stunned and said: "Of course Miss Xiao taught me personally, why don't you know this?"

Xiao Weiyin! Yang Ding and Yang Yan were shocked at the same time. Xiao Weiyin was on Mopan Mountain?

Yang Ding was overjoyed and said: "So the second sister is here, Ding Bao, take me to see the second sister quickly!"

Ding Bao said: "Sir, Miss Xiao has left!"

"What? Gone?" Yang Ding felt that his heart was rising and falling, as if he was dreaming.

"Ding Bao, tell me about Miss Xiao quickly, you will make my second brother anxious!" Yang Yan suddenly laughed.

"Yes, Commander Yang, Master Yang, Miss Xiao came here probably more than half a month ago, and with Miss Xiao, there was also a Taoist priest with immortal style. Miss Xiao said after she came to our Mopan Mountain,

My martial arts skills were too poor to be useful in the future, so I settled down on our Mopan Mountain. Miss Xiao first taught me the kung fu skills that I knew before, and the set of Wudang reed sticks was actually made by Miss Xiao from the immortal Taoist master.

The immortal immortal passed it down to me." Ding Bao explained.

"Then when did Miss Xiao leave?" Yang Yan asked.

"Yesterday! Yesterday, Miss Xiao and the Taoist Priest with Immortal Style left Mopan Mountain!"

Yang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Yang Ding said very disappointedly: "My second sister and I are only one day away from meeting each other. What a pity, what a pity!"

"Didn't Master Yang come with Miss Xiao?" Ding Bao asked.

Yang Ding shook his head and asked Yang Yan: "Brother, do you know the Taoist priest with the immortal style?"

Yang Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know him, but from Ding Bao's description, that Taoist priest is at least a master-level figure!"

Junior uncle level? Speaking of seniority, Yang Ding ignored Yang Yan. If he guessed correctly, Xiao Weiyin should be the disciple of the old god, and his cheap eldest brother should be Xiao Weiyin's junior.

, no wonder when Yang Dingyi talked about Xiao Weiyin, Yang Yan seemed to be evasive in his words. It seemed that the seniority between the three of them was indeed messed up.

"Master Yang, I wonder what position Master Yang holds now? When Master Yang goes to Mopan Mountain this time, does he want Ding Bao to join the army under Yang's command or to look after Master Yang's home?" Ding Bao asked.

Yang Dingdao: "I am now the fifth-rank Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, but now I have been appointed as the deputy imperial envoy. I will follow the imperial envoy Peng Shi to go south to Dengzhou Mansion to investigate the plague. Ding Bao,

If you are not afraid of the plague, then follow me to Dengzhou capital!"
