Chapter 408: Proposed Expansion (1)

The three of them finished their meal and went to look for the leaders of the Red Cloud Mountain to express their intention to leave.

In the hall of the stronghold, the six leaders of Red Cloud Mountain gathered and sat down. The three of them sat in the guest seats.

Guo Haishen cupped his hands at Yu Feng before speaking,

"Chief Yu, we brothers have stayed here for many days and have disturbed you. We feel very guilty. Chief Yu, you allowed us brothers to hide here to avoid trouble. It's really a righteous act. Now that the limelight has passed, it's time for us to bid farewell and leave the mountain."

Yu Feng exclaimed and hurriedly stood up,

"Why do you say that, brothers? If a hero is in trouble, we will naturally help. Don't say such polite words. In my opinion, the three of you should just stay here. Why should you leave the mountain together? Could it be that you look down on our small stronghold?"

He was extremely envious of Chen Feng and Guo Haishen's martial arts. In the past few months, he had invited them to join him several times, but they had been rejected by Zhou Jing. Now that he heard that they were leaving, he immediately became anxious.

Hearing this, Zhou Jing cupped his fists and said seriously,

"What are you talking about, Head Yu? We will naturally remember the protection of Red Cloud Mountain. It's just that I want to see the experts of the world. I want to travel the north and south and become famous through martial arts. That's why I'm not willing to stay in one place for the time being. I hope you can understand, Stronghold Head."

After Yu Feng heard this, he looked helpless,

"Sigh, everyone has their own ambitions. Brother Chen, you're both so heroic and respectable It's just that I'm really regretful that you don't want to stay in my Red Cloud Mountain."

The other leaders also tried to persuade him to stay. Zhou Jing rejected all of them politely. After repeating this a few times, everyone knew that Zhou Jing had made up his mind, so they could only stop talking.

Li Chun sighed to himself in pity.

If these two Green Forest experts joined, Red Cloud Mountain would definitely be able to grow stronger in the Lu River area.

According to the ordinary rules of the Green Forest, when Zhou Jing and the others went up the mountain to seek refuge, since the village was willing to take them in and provide them with good food and drinks for a few months, the other party should have tactfully joined them. Only then would everyone be happy.

However, Chen Feng and Guo Haishen were not ordinary people. They were famous in the Green Forest.

This was especially true for Chen Feng. His bravery was unprecedented. In the past few months, his name had spread throughout the country. At this point, who did not know of such a fierce person in the Green Forest?

If they did not want to stay, the Red Cloud Mountain would not stop them. Not only would they form a good relationship, but they would also be able to leave a generous and righteous name in the underworld.

Seeing their disappointed expressions, Zhou Jing blinked and suddenly had an idea,

"The three of us are not ungrateful people. We should naturally repay you. There's an opportunity now."

Hearing his words, Yu Feng, Li Chun, and the other leaders were slightly stunned. Then, they pricked up their ears curiously, not knowing what Chen Feng was planning.

Zhou Jing paused for a bit before continuing,

"In the past few months on the mountain, Brother Li Chun has mentioned the situation around Red Cloud Mountain. There are two famous strongholds nearby. One is Tiger Head Mountain, and the other is Yellow Pond Mountain I heard that Chief Yu has mentioned his plans to strengthen his foundation more than once. Then we'll take down these two strongholds on behalf of Red Cloud Mountain before bidding farewell and leaving."

Although they could leave directly, it would not be good if word got out that Red Cloud Mountain was willing to take them in at the risk of being targeted by the Imperial Court.

Zhou Jing knew Yu Feng's core intention of inviting them to join him time and time again, so he simply took the initiative to suggest helping Red Cloud Mountain expand as an outsider as a form of repayment.

This Apostle #004, Chen Feng, needed to make a name for himself. He could take the opportunity to do something in the name of repayment. Not only would he increase his reputation, but he would also make the people of the Green Forest praise his loyalty.

In any case, he planned to achieve the milestone of being the number one in the world. After leaving the mountain, he still had to look for experts everywhere. The other mountain strongholds were his goal to begin with.

Coincidentally, these two strongholds were the closest to each other, so he might as well take this opportunity to test his skills, killing two birds with one stone.

Because he had no plans to cause trouble in the short term, Zhou Jing did not want to stay in Lu River forever. Therefore, he did not mind doing a favor and helping Red Cloud Mountain expand If he could succeed, although the expansion would belong to them, the reputation of sweeping through the strongholds would belong to him.

At the same time, he could also obtain some Information State Particles.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, even Guo Haishen and Fang Zhen.

There were 24 provinces in the world, and the Lu River was located in the south. At the moment, the outlaw problem in this area was not serious, and there were no famous Green Forest powerhouses.

There were 2,000 to 3,000 people on Red Cloud Mountain, and the scale was only considered average. The main reason was that there were many experts on the mountain, so no one looked down on them in the south.

As for Tiger Head Mountain and Yellow Pond Mountain, there were nearly 10,000 people on both mountains, and their combatants were several times that of Red Cloud Mountain. They were the true strongholds in the Lu River area. Even in the north, where there were the most outlaws, this scale was not bad.

Yu Feng had the ambition of a tiger that was entrenched in the Lu River. It was not the first time he had coveted the people of these two strongholds, but he knew his limits and did not dare to take action.

Hearing Zhou Jing's boast, he initially thought that it was a joke.

"Brother Chen, don't spout nonsense. Any one of these two mountain strongholds is stronger than my Red Cloud Mountain. My place only has seven to eight hundred soldiers. Tiger Head Mountain and Yellow Pond Mountain can easily gather three to four thousand people. The difference is huge, so how can we defeat them? Even with the help of three good men, it will be difficult to take them down I appreciate Brother Chen's kindness, but I don't dare to take such a risk and rashly raise my troops."

Yu Feng disagreed with Zhou Jing and shook his head.

Although he valued the martial arts of the three of them, the difference in manpower was there. He did not think that the help of the three of them could bridge this gap.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing waved his hand and replied in a nonchalant tone.
