Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

With the addition of Bai Shicheng, Meng Zhao's team has grown stronger again and its ability to deal with crises has been enhanced.

The speed towards Sendai Peak was also greatly improved, and we successfully reached our destination at noon on the second day.

Xiantai Peak is a peak in the outer periphery of Yunwu Mountain. It is shaped like a round platform, towering into the sky, and is surrounded by hazy cotton-like clouds. It looks like a fairyland, so it is called Xiantai Peak.

This place is also marked on the map drawn by the Cao family. About twenty miles to the south is the Five Poison Miasma Land, which the Cao family considers to be the most dangerous place. Poisons are everywhere, and the miasma and clouds are entangled together, making it extremely vicious.

According to legend, there are even more poisonous and dangerous things inside. Even if you accidentally step into it, you may not be able to escape death.

Compared with the dangers of the Five Poisonous Plagues, Xiantai Peak is worthy of the name of Xiantai. Not only are there few ferocious beasts, but the climate on the peak is also abnormal. Frost and snow do not fall. The pines and cypresses are green all year round, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is no different from midsummer. .

This is also the reason why the Meng family and the others feel more relaxed and happy after entering Xiantai Peak.

The front feet are still icy and snowy, while the back feet are as warm as spring. The chill of winter and the vitality of spring. In the hearts of people who have been traveling for days and are very tired mentally and physically, they naturally prefer the latter.

That's not all. Everyone also discovered that wild animals such as hares, pheasants, and sika deer were multiplying in groups on this mountain peak, and they looked very plump.

In fact, the most abundant animals in Yunwu Mountain are wild beasts, and ferocious beasts are just creatures at the top of the food chain.

Cao Zhan even hunted many wild beasts with a big bow in his hand, peeled off the skins and bones, and lit a fire to barbecue. He planned to improve the lunch meal, which made the group look forward to it. Although the dry food was full, it could not satisfy the taste.

As the backbone of the team and the temporary decision-maker, Meng Zhao decided on the location of the base camp and arranged for the Meng family warriors to check around for any traces of others and leave a Meng family mark to guide Meng Hongdao and his party who were coming later.

These tedious matters are not simple, but Meng Zhao arranged them in an orderly manner without any omissions.

On the way, a warrior of the Meng family accidentally discovered a peach forest, which had already grown huge peaches. They were plump and juicy, making people salivate. In addition to game, they also added an extra dessert after the meal.

It was not until about Shenshi that Meng Zhaocai finally reunited with Meng Hongdao and his party.

The people who rushed to Xiantai Peak were mainly Meng Hongdao, including many of the seven great innates. There were also six more Meng family warriors who had not had time to break out with Meng Zhao before. In short, there was no outsider.

This once again convinced Meng Zhao that his previous speculation was correct. Meng Hongdao took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the Fire Dragon Cave and the Zhao family in order to swallow the dragon eggs for himself.

On a grassy slope, at the end is a row of towering trees, with bright flowers of various colors dazzling on both sides.

At this time, the temperature in Xiantai Peak was unusually hot. Meng Hongdao took off the white cotton robe he was wearing, hung it by his hand, and walked forward with a soothing look on his face.

Beside him, only Meng Hongdao and Meng Chuan followed behind him, without any other guards to disturb him.

It was obvious that this was a small gathering that only belonged to the direct bloodline of the Meng family.

Others, even Wang Tianlei and senior executives like Yang Jiu, are not qualified to get involved.

"Zhao'er, you did a good job. You brought many people from our house over, which is very good.

But what happened to Baishi City? Why is he here? "

Meng Hongdao's mood did not change because of Bai Shicheng. After all, he was weak and suffered from internal injuries, so he could not make any waves, but he had to ask for more information.

Any negligence may cause the Meng family's plan to be in vain, so they have to be cautious.

Meng Zhao followed Meng Hongdao step by step, holding the junior ceremony, with a calm face and calm steps. After hearing the words, he said respectfully,

"Back to Third Uncle, during the battle with the six-winged frost centipede, Qin Tao, the seventh son of Juluhou, died in the chaos.

As Qin Tao's bodyguard, Bai Shicheng couldn't return to Juluhou Mansion to give an account. In desperation, he was recruited by his nephew. In the future, he would serve as an innate sacrifice for his nephew and protect his safety. He could be trusted. "

Meng Chuan already knew about this and had nothing to show for it, but this was the first time Meng Hongdao heard about it, especially about Qin Tao's death. Reality,

"Qin Tao is dead, but is it true?"

Meng Zhao knew what Meng Hongdao was worried about, so he nodded and said,

"It's true. The body was inspected and destroyed by my nephew himself, so there's no way it's fake.

Bai Shicheng also sincerely surrendered. His nephew had promised him to rescue his wife and daughter. This was a prerequisite for his loyalty. "

Meng Hongdao's eyes were much softer, but his expression was still not much relaxed, and he continued to walk forward.

"Zhao'er, I know that you have always wanted to recruit innate masters to replace Lu Zhong in the second house. In fact, your uncle and I have selected a few people with good abilities, martial arts and loyalty, and we are just waiting for you to choose. Now you want Baishi City, But it may not be as good as the one we picked for you!”

"You have to know that Bai Shicheng has a good reputation with Julu. He also worked in the Hou Mansion for a long time. As soon as Qin Tao died, he didn't want to take responsibility and fled. No matter how capable these people are, we can't trust them easily. Reuse it, otherwise it will bite you sooner or later.”

Meng Zhao knew that one thing that could easily be criticized in Bai Shicheng was that he had been a guard for the Qin family for such a long time, but after the incident, he turned his back on the Qin family. It cannot be said that the seller was seeking glory, but his thoughts were definitely impure.

No family or force likes such subordinates. If they are not loyal enough, no matter how powerful they are, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, it will be in vain.

But Meng Zhao also has his own set of perceptions,

"Third uncle, I am very grateful for your and uncle's concern, but I believe that Bai Shicheng will never let me down.

If he surrenders, without the protection of our Meng family, he will be hunted down by the Julu Marquis. He will recognize the reality and know what to do and what not to do.

Furthermore, if he rescues his wife and daughter, he can not only be kind to him, but also control them.

As long as he has those two people in hand, he is not afraid of having second thoughts in Baishi City.

In addition, the nephew believes that he is not Qin Tao. "

There is another point that Meng Zhao did not say clearly. If he uses the innate warriors recommended by Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao, he will have a time bomb next to him.

No one knows whether this person is loyal to Meng Zhao or Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao.

This is something Meng Zhao cannot tolerate.

Therefore, even if there is no Baishi City, Meng Zhao will not allow an uncontrolled strong man to be around him in a short period of time. He has too many secrets.

In comparison, Bai Shicheng may indeed be lacking in loyalty, but equally, he is less loyal to Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao. This is a relative measurement relationship.

Therefore, Meng Zhao would rather work hard to win over and recruit people than use people recommended by Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao.

This is an instinctive self-preservation mentality, and he did it deliberately.

As the second-in-command of the Meng family, Meng Hongdao had an extraordinary mind and was vaguely aware of this. He smiled and nodded, which was regarded as acknowledging Meng Zhao's words.
