On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the leader of the Black Shadow Gang let out a sharp scream, and then another group of black-clad men appeared from a distance and quickly joined the battle.

"They have reinforcements!" Jiang Yanwan's face tightened, "What should we do? We have limited manpower."

"Don't be afraid. Although they have reinforcements, they may not all be theirs." Senior Shi smiled slightly, his eyes firm.

Suddenly, on a hill not far away, there was the sound of fierce horse hooves, and vaguely a group of reinforcements could be seen rushing towards them, with the leader waving a blue flag.

"It's friendly troops! Friendly troops have arrived!" The villagers cheered and their morale doubled.

"It turns out to be the Brotherhood Alliance!" Li Changkong was surprised and couldn't help but sigh, "Thank goodness the senior made the right arrangements."

"I'm just making preparations for a rainy day, just in case." Senior Shi nodded with a smile.

With the joining of friendly forces, the enemy gradually retreated, and was finally defeated by the combined attack of everyone.

"We've finally escaped danger this time." Lu Wenjin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with relief.

After the battle, the village returned to peace. The villagers comforted each other and expressed their gratitude to Elder Shi and Li Changkong.

"If you need anything in the future, just let us know and we will definitely help you." The leader of the friendly army patted his chest and promised.

"Thank you all for your help. We will always remember this friendship in our hearts." Jiang Yanwan said gratefully.

Elder Shi looked at the setting sun and said softly, "Today is just a small test. The challenges in the future will only be greater."

Li Changkong nodded and looked at his companions: "No matter what, we must work together to overcome the difficulties."

"That's right," Lu Wenjin took over the conversation, then looked at Senior Shi and asked, "Senior, what should we do next?"

Senior Shi narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said softly: "As for the Black Shadow Gang, we still need to find their mastermind...Tomorrow, we may need to go to a place."

"Oh? What place is it?" Jiang Yanwan asked curiously.

Senior Shi smiled mysteriously: "That place may hold the answers to all this."

"Senior, are you saying that we are going to that place tomorrow?" Li Changkong's eyes flashed with inquiry.

Senior Shi nodded slightly, "Yes, that is a place few people are willing to set foot in, but I believe the answer is hidden there."

The villagers gathered in twos and threes. Although they had just experienced a fierce battle, their curiosity still prompted them to pay attention to the conversation between the few people. "Did you hear it? Elder Shi seems to know something important." An elderly villager whispered to the people around him.

"How can ordinary people like us get involved? But with Senior Shi and the others around, we will always be safe." Another person comforted, his eyes revealing anticipation for the unknown.

"But why would the secret of the Black Shadow Gang be hidden in that place?" Lu Wenjin looked at Mr. Shi, puzzled.

Jiang Yanwan thought for a moment and then interrupted, "Maybe it's because there's some hidden connection between that place and the Black Shadow Gang?"

Senior Shi smiled mysteriously, "Just treat it as such. But the actual situation is probably more complicated than we imagined."

At this moment, a villager came running over with a look of astonishment on his face. "Well... well, there is a caravan coming from outside the mountain, and they said they have important news for you!"

"A caravan coming from outside the mountain? How do they know about our situation?" Li Changkong frowned.

Senior Shi stroked his beard, his eyes deep: "Let's go and take a look."

Several people followed the villagers to the entrance of the village, where they saw a group of vendors unloading goods from an old horse-drawn carriage. The leader was a middle-aged man with a dusty face, but it was hard to hide his knowledgeable demeanor.

"You are the heroes that the legends have been telling about, right? I am Mr. Li, and I am honored to meet you." The middle-aged man clasped his fists and saluted, speaking respectfully.

Li Changkong nodded, but he didn't dare to take it lightly: "I wonder what brings you here from afar, Boss Li? "

Boss Li looked around and lowered his voice: "This is an urgent matter. We have brought important intelligence from outside the mountain - a gang is planning to ambush this place."

"What!" Jiang Yanwan was shocked, and other villagers also looked uneasy.

Senior Shi frowned slightly: "Tell me about it in detail."

Boss Li said solemnly, "While we were on the way to trade, we accidentally learned that a few days ago a group of people were organizing to launch a surprise attack here. They were extremely cautious and did not want to let the news leak out, but after our secret investigation, we were able to intercept their action plan."

"In that case, the Black Shadow Gang is not the only enemy." Lu Wenjin analyzed in a deep voice.

"That's right, there is a bigger mastermind behind this force." Boss Li nodded, "That's why I rushed here in a hurry, hoping to give you some help."

"Thank you very much for your timely notification." Li Changkong expressed his gratitude to Boss Li.

"Boss Li, have you ever heard of a place that may be related to this turmoil?" Senior Shi suddenly asked.

Boss Li thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Senior, are you referring to the 'Misty Valley'?"

"Misty Valley?" Jiang Yanwan repeated in a low voice.

"It's right here." Boss Li lowered his voice, "It is rumored that this is where the hidden forces of the underworld gather. If someone wants to gather a large force, they will have to go there."

"It seems we have no choice." Elder Shi nodded, "We must go to Misty Valley to find out what's going on."

"But if that's the case, the risk is huge," Lu Wenjin said worriedly.

"Although the risk is great, it is the only way." Senior Shi said firmly, then looked at everyone, "But you need to be fully prepared."

"We are willing to fight alongside you." Jiang Yanwan nodded without hesitation.

Li Changkong clenched his fists and silently agreed: "No matter what, we must unite as one."

"In that case, let's pack our bags and set off tomorrow morning." Senior Shi said calmly, but added meaningfully, "I hope everyone can hold on to the end."

The villagers listened from the sidelines. Although they could not participate, they also sent blessings and encouragement. "You must return safely!"

As the starry night deepened, several passers-by stood at the entrance of the village, watching the patriots getting ready to go, and felt a surge of excitement in their hearts.

At dawn the next day, as the sun just jumped out of the clouds, the expedition team was ready to go. A solemn and tense feeling filled the village. Jiang Yanwan packed her luggage and smiled at the villagers behind her: "Don't worry, we will return triumphantly."

"Good luck to you!" an elderly villager waved his hand.

Another young man shouted with excitement: "When you come back victorious, we will celebrate together!"

Elder Shi rode on his horse and walked side by side with the others. His tone was gentle but firm: "Let's go, our destination is Misty Valley."

As the order was given, the team slowly left the village and headed towards an unknown adventure. The wild grass on the roadside swayed gently, as if seeing off the warriors who were about to embark on the journey.

"Let's not think too much about it. As long as we work together along the way, we will always find a way to deal with it." Li Changkong rode his horse and looked at Lu Wenjin beside him, his eyes filled with unyielding faith.

"Yes, we will definitely overcome the difficulties." Lu Wenjin responded, with a smile gradually rising at the corner of his mouth.

"Senior, why are you so sure that the Misty Valley hides a secret?" Jiang Yanwan couldn't help but ask again.
