C101 Fear Lingered in His Heart

In that battle just now, Du Qi and the others had used all their strength to break out of the encirclement. Everyone felt exhausted, and there were even some who suffered internal and external injuries to varying degrees. Fortunately, no one fell. They turned two coils in a row and saw that there were no more enemies chasing after them. All of them could not help but release their breath. They either sat or lied down in a small patch of grass on the side of the road, gasping for breath. Everyone looked at each other, and they recalled the danger they were in when they broke out of the encirclement. They still felt a lingering fear in their hearts, and they were extremely terrified.

Du Qi saw that everyone's breathing was gradually stabilizing. He estimated that everyone had recovered some of their strength. He couldn't help but ask, "How far is it from Maple Forest Mountain Manor?"

Chiang Jianguo said, "There are still more than ten miles to go. After crossing the small mountain in front of us, we will arrive at the corner of the mountain."

Du Qi said, "It's getting late. We should go to Maple Forest Mountain Manor while it's busy."

Everyone saw that he spoke in a relaxed manner and could not help but feel relieved. They all stood up and walked towards Maple Forest Mountain Manor. A few people shouted as they walked, "Let's go home, let's go home!"

Everyone jumped over the hill and turned around the hill. Chiang Jingzhi pointed to a stone pavilion two or three miles ahead and said, "That stone pavilion is called 'Village Gazing Pavilion'. It is a place that must be passed by to enter and exit my house."

Chiang Jianguo suddenly felt something and said, "Although I have only been away from home for a few days, I also feel that being close to home makes me feel even more afraid. I am really a little afraid to continue walking forward."

Chiang Jingzhi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Going to the village pavilion is equivalent to coming home. Who do we need to be afraid of?"

Qin Xin also smiled and said, "Who knows, there might be an ambush coming soon, or the Maple Forest Mountain Manor has already fallen into the hands of the enemy. They will dig a trap and wait for us to jump in."

Du Qi said, "Don't worry everyone. I am sure everything is normal. Don't listen to Xin's nonsense."

Although they were not worried that the Maple Forest Mountain Manor would fall into the enemy's hands, they also thought that Qin Xin's words made sense. They could not help but look at each other in shock. How could they listen to Du Qi's words? But they could not stop moving forward. They could only bite the bullet and slowly move forward.

Seeing that the village pavilion was in sight, there was not a single person on the road apart from them. Qin Xin said, "Strange. According to that sick devil Yuchi Chaofeng, this place should be full of people. Why is there no one here?"

Chiang Jianguo said worriedly, "Yes, at least Yuchi Chaofeng and the Tan family's four heroes should be nearby. Why are they not here? Could it be that they have really entered the manor?"

While they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of flowing water. When they looked up, the village pavilion was already in front of them. Du Qi said, "It is useless to think too much. Why not go and ask the people in the pavilion?"

Everyone carefully walked all the way and did not discover any unusual situation. Only when they saw the three manor servent who were guarding the pavilion as usual did they realize that everything was normal and began to feel relieved.

When they arrived in front of the village pavilion, Du Qi and the others discovered that there was still a ravine between them and the village pavilion. "The rumbling sound of flowing water came from the ravine. Chiang Jianguo introduced, "This river is called the Calm River. The water flow is rapid and it is hundreds of feet below the road. It is a few feet deep, but no one knows how deep it is. No matter whether it is human or animal, as long as it falls into it... It will immediately sink to the bottom of the river and never appear again. The narrowest part of the river is nearly two hundred feet wide. Both sides are cliffs. No matter how high one's Light-body Technique is, they would not dare to try flying. "

Everyone looked down and saw that the river water rolled up snow white waves. They roared and ran away, stirring up a fishy smell and sending it into everyone's nose with the wind.

Seeing the rapid flow of water, everyone suddenly felt dizzy. Their hearts suddenly tightened and a trace of coldness appeared for no reason. It rose up from the back of their LV tail and then a shiver. They were all shocked to the extreme.

This Village Gazing Pavilion was a gate at the outermost part of Maple Forest Mountain Manor. manor servent had been guarding it day and night. These guards could not enter the manor even during the break. They all lived in the stone house in front of the cliff behind the pavilion. The leaders of the manor took turns to be the leaders.

The current leader was Chiang Jianguo's Third Uncle, Jiang Jinggu. He had to report Chiang Jingzhi, Chiang Jianguo, and the others to return to the manor. The people from the Camel Horse Gang protected each other and hurried out of the stone house to welcome them. He ordered manor servent to put down the suspension bridge and let them enter the pavilion. He warmly invited them to sit beside a stone table among the four stone tables in the pavilion to rest.

After the small talk was over, Chiang Jianguo asked, "Third Uncle, are there any outsiders entering the manor these two days?"

Jiang Jingyong said, "Not to mention outsiders entering the manor, even outsiders who pass by rarely see one." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel surprised. Could it be that what they saw and heard at the fork in the road were all daydreams?

While everyone was in shock, they suddenly heard the sound of drums and music in the manor. Chiang Jianguo came over and said, "Young Master Du, Miss Qin, and all the elders, someone from the manor has come to welcome us. Please enter the manor and rest for a night, how about it?"

Qin Xin was the first to jump up and say, "Okay. I was thinking of going to the manor to have some fun."

Jin Dachuan and the others did not want to make the decision on their own. They all looked at Du Qi. The reason why Du Qi accepted this business back then was to make some money at the same time. More importantly, he felt that it was fun because of the excitement. Now that the business was done, he should leave, but he felt that today's matter at the fork of the mountain was confusing and confusing. It was as if there was something strange and even more profound about the divinity of the Calm River. After receiving Chiang Jianguo's invitation, he saw Qin Xin's excited look. He decided to enter the village to take a look, so he said, "Sorry to bother you like this!"

Chiang Jianguo said happily, "No need to be polite, Young Master Du. The welcoming person has arrived. Everyone, please get up."

Everyone had just gotten up when a man rushed out of the manor like a whirlwind. The leader of the group came in front of everyone and greeted, "I am Jiang Jie. I am here on the orders of the Manor Lord to welcome all of you. Please follow me into the manor!"

Everyone followed behind Jiang Jie and walked into the manor. The path they passed through could only allow a horse carriage to pass by. The mountain walls on both sides were as sharp as knives. Looking up, one could only see a ray of light. There were actually five doors within a mile, and each door was guarded by more than ten people. Preparations ready. If it wasn't for the fact that the people guarding let them pass, the rolling wooden arena stones, bows, arrows and other defensive tools would have been useless. Even if there were thousands of troops, it would still be difficult to attack for a moment.

After passing through the innermost tall and sturdy gate, everyone stepped into the manor. They saw that both sides of the main road were packed with people welcoming them. Although everyone was fighting to see, however, they were neatly arranged on both sides of the road, appearing to be in an orderly manner without any disorder. There were even dozens of children dancing flowers in their hands, and they kept shouting happily, "Welcome, welcome, welcome!..." Many adults also followed the children and shouted. Then, some people clapped their hands and started to drum and gong. Instantly, the heated atmosphere became extremely hot, and it made it clear that the host was very hospitable and respected Du Qi and the others.

All along the way, everyone was tainted by this blazing atmosphere to the point of being filled with joy and happiness, and they suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction and complacency. They couldn't help but feel excited, and their blood boiled as if they were going to melt in this ocean of joy.
