The army marched, and the scouts went first.

Although there are only five hundred elites, it is not a large army, but Qi Yoyo does not dare to be negligent in the slightest, not to mention that it is known that there is very likely to hide the Big Tooth Army in this hundred barren mountains, if you rashly march and crash into the ambush circle of the Big Tooth Army, the consequences will be unimaginable, although Qi Yo Yo is eager to save his brother, but he does not dare to disregard the lives of five hundred soldiers, so this way is to follow the essence of the march, send scouts to explore the way, and the large army will follow up in the rear in an orderly manner.

It was noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, everyone had been running in this group of mountains for more than three hours in a row, the mountain road was difficult to walk, even if they were the elite of the army, they were a little unbearable, everyone's face showed a tired look, Qi Yoyo saw it in his eyes, and had to give an order to rest.

Zhang Xiaopaw sat down against a big tree, put away his subtle mood, closed his eyes, and rested his head on the trunk. He has been driving in a subtle state of mind all the way, and he has been driving it when he came out of the cave, which consumed a lot of energy and energy, so that he was mentally tired and his head felt slightly dizzy.

"Thank you. Qi Yoyo walked over, sat down next to Zhang Xiaopu, handed Zhang Xiaopaw a tortilla, and said, "Eat something." ”

It was she who asked Zhang Xiaopu to open the subtle mood all the way, and wanted to use Zhang Xiaopaw's subtle mood to find clues. Based on the information given by Zhao Quan, she deduced that the traces left by Qi Changkong after fleeing into Baihuang Mountain must have been erased, otherwise, with the power of the City Lord's Mansion, even if Baihuang Mountain was very large, it was impossible to find no trace of Qi Changkong and his party in four days.

And even if the erased traces are perfectly concealed, and no flaws can be seen with the naked eye, but under the illumination of the subtle state of mind, there is nothing to hide, which is why Qi Yoyo asked Zhang Xiaopaw for assistance.

It's a pity that after half a day, Zhang Xiaopaw didn't have any unexpected discoveries.

"It's just a pity that it didn't help. Thank you. Zhang Xiaopaw opened his eyes and responded, his tone could not hide his disappointment, and at the same time took the tortilla handed to him by Qi Yoyo and thanked him.

"Don't worry, it's the fox that will show its tail sooner or later. Qi Yoyo comforted, holding a tortilla in his left hand and eating it in small bites, holding a Tai'a sword in his right hand, writing and drawing on the ground in front of the two with the tip of the scabbard.

Zhang Xiaopaw ate the corn tortilla and looked at it curiously, as the outline of the painting on the ground gradually appeared, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and then he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What did you draw the topographic map of this Hundred Barren Mountains?"

"Yes. Qi Yoyo nodded and said, the movements in his hands kept moving, sketching and drawing, looking at Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes, it felt like a trick, a simple line will outline the shape of a mountain vividly, all the lines are combined, and the terrain of the entire Baihuang Mountain is presented in front of you.

"Awesome!" Zhang Xiaopaw sincerely admired.

"That's what I've been doing since I was a child, it's not great, practice makes perfect. Qi Yoyo said modestly, saying that she drew a horizontal line in the northeast direction of Baihuang Mountain, and said: "This is the area that my second brother is responsible for patrolling, they fled into Baihuang Mountain after being ambushed by the Big Tooth Army, although I don't know where they fled into Baihuang Mountain specifically, but the general direction should be in this area." ”

She drew an arc on the northeastern edge of Baihuang Mountain.

"Hmm. Zhang nodded in agreement.

"If you were ambushed by the Big Tooth Army, seriously wounded, and defeated with the remnants of your army, in which direction would you flee after escaping into the Hundred Desolate Mountains?" Qi Yoyo asked.

Zhang Xiaopu frowned lightly and groaned slightly, then pointed at it with a bone knife, and said: "Naturally, you are fleeing in the direction of Yancheng, the closer you are to Yancheng, the greater the hope of escaping." ”

Qi Yoyo nodded and said, "But the Big Tooth Army will definitely not let you run to Yancheng, they will try their best to intercept it, and then the two of you will chase and fight in this hundred barren mountains." ”

Qi Yoyo said as he drew lightly on the map with the tip of the scabbard, drawing possible lines one after another, and drawing more than ten lines in a row.

At first, Zhang Xiaopu didn't understand what Qi Yoyo was doing with these meaningless suspicious routes, until he suddenly found that all the routes finally pointed to the northwest direction of Baihuang Mountain, and then thought that this morning's travel route was going straight to the northwest of Baihuang Mountain, could it be that Qi Yoyo only listened to the little bit of intelligence information that Zhao Quan said, and directly deduced Qi Changkong's whereabouts? If this is the case, then this woman is too terrible!

Zhang Xiaopaw had a shocked expression on his face, and looked at Qi Yoyo with the same eyes as a monster. An idea suddenly popped up in his mind, if he and Qi Yoyo each led a team of soldiers and horses, arranged troops, and attacked and duel, he might be abused by Qi Yoyo.

Qi Yoyo knew what Zhang Xiaopu was shocking, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Don't look at me with such eyes, I'm not as powerful as you think." In fact, all the inferences I made were based on a piece of information, that is, my second brother fled to the Baihuang Mountain for four days without any news. Four days is enough time to search Baihuang Mountain from east to west and south to north, but I still haven't found my second brother. Then it is obvious that they are most likely no longer in this desolate mountain. In all directions of the Hundred Desolate Mountains, only the Bad Water Swamp in the northwest is a place that is inhabited. ”

"What would you do without this key message?" asked Zhang Xiaopaw curiously.

Qi Yoyo spread his hands and said, "Then you can only search step by step, but I will give priority to searching these locations." ”

She drew a few circles on the map and said, "If you can't find a single useful clue in these locations, then go straight to the Badwater Swamp." ”

"These locations?" Zhang Xiaopu stared at the several locations of Qi Yoyo's circle on the map, and couldn't help frowning and thinking, why did Qi Yoyo attach so much importance to these locations?

Qi Yoyo ate the last bite of the tortilla, did not disturb Zhang Xiaopaw's thinking, but got up and walked towards Zhao Quan. When she came back after explaining the matter to Zhao Quan, she saw that Zhang Xiaopaw was still frowning deeply and pondering, and couldn't help but snort and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Not at all. Zhang Xiaopaw pinched his frowning eyebrows and shook his head, feeling a little uncomfortable, Qi Yoyo had already marked the location, but he still couldn't see the special places of these positions, and he couldn't help but feel that he was too far away from Qi Yoyo.

"Then don't think about it yet, get some rest, and we'll leave in a quarter of an hour. Wow, water. Qi Yoyo smiled and handed the water bag to Zhang Xiaopaw.

"Thank you. Zhang Xiaopaw took the water bag, raised his head and took a sip, his eyes couldn't help but light up, the water entrance was cold, it was very relieving the heat, and blurted out: "Heatstroke pills." ”

This reminded him of being in the Black Forest with Qi Rong'er, when Qi Rong'er also put a heat-relieving pill in a water bag to quench his thirst.

"Hmm. Qi Yoyo smiled and nodded.

"Reminds me of a friend, and I wonder if she's okay?" Thinking of the killing and acquaintance with Qi Rong'er, Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time couldn't help but worry about her, and I don't know if she returned to Baiyun City safely, and whether she continued to be embarrassed by the eldest lady of the Qin family and Su Mou?

Liujia Village is gone, Zhang Xiaopaw has only a handful of friends in this world, and Qi Rong'er is one of them.

"Female friends?" Qi Yoyo asked with interest.

"Hmm. Zhang Xiaopaw nodded, not feeling embarrassed, because the friendship between him and Qi Rong'er was life and death, and there was no need to hide it.

"She must be beautiful, gentle and lovely. Qi Yo said.

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said: "Her name is Qi Rong'er, she is a vicious-mouthed, ruthless, and vicious little woman. ”

"How can anyone describe their good friend like that. Qi Yoyo rolled her eyes and said, but she knew that Zhang Xiaopu could describe this friend like this, which showed that the relationship between them was really very good.

"We had the opportunity to get to know each other. Qi Yo said.

"Yes. Zhang Xiaopaw said.

A quarter of an hour later, the team set off again, and the scouts were already one step ahead.

Turning over a mountain, Zhang Xiaopaw looked into the northwest direction, and his eyebrows suddenly felt cold and painful, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and then his vision was blood-red, as if the heavens, the earth, and the mountains were stained red with blood, and at the same time, his heart beat violently, and an extremely bad feeling rose in his heart.

Zhang Xiaopaw was startled by this sudden scene, but he blinked his eyes vigorously and looked forward, the scorching sun was in the sky, the sky was blue and the ground was yellow, the mountains were withered, and everything was as normal as ever.

"Is it a hallucination?" Zhang Xiaopao said suspiciously, but the still pounding heart and the bad feeling rising in his heart told him that it didn't seem like a hallucination.

"What's wrong?, have you found anything?" Qi Yoyo noticed Zhang Xiaopaw's abnormality, and asked closely.

"For some reason, I suddenly had heart palpitations and felt as if there was danger ahead. Zhang Xiaopaw didn't hide it, but he didn't say what he saw with his eyes, because Qi Yoyo wouldn't believe it when he said it, but he might think that he was hallucinating, so he didn't take his words to heart.

Qi Yoyo frowned slightly, if it was someone else, she might not take it to heart, but Zhang Xiaopaw was in a subtle state of mind, and her perception was far better than that of ordinary people, so she didn't dare to be careless, and said in a solemn tone: "I'll remind everyone to be careful." ”

......

Wan Qiuqing's woman's hair and temples were neatly coiled on her head, without a trace of messy hair, wearing a red background and white flower wide-sleeved short coat on the upper body, and a black and blue ankle-covering skirt on the bottom, Shi Shiran walked out of the reeds. The gestures are full of temperament, and the charm of a mature woman is full of smiles.

Although she held a short sword with a blue and white scabbard in her hand, she could not feel the sharpness at all, but she looked like a noble lady from a noble family, holding a gorgeous sword for decoration, to attend a banquet in high society.

However, Fang Wei stared at Wan Qiuqing who was approaching Shi Shiran, and he didn't have the heart to appreciate her noble temperament and feminine charm at all, as Wan Qiuqing approached step by step, his expression became more and more solemn, and he asked, "Who are you?"

"Mother!" Qi Changkong's unexpected surprise call gave Fang a different answer.

"Are you the city lord Qi Wuwei who exposed his wife Wan Qiuqing?" Fang Wei asked in surprise, how could he not be surprised, the information about Wan Qiuqing clearly said "ordinary woman", but where is this woman in front of him is an ordinary woman, obviously a super master who can't even see through cultivation.

"It's the slave family. Wan Qiuqing replied with a smile, and said, "The maze over there is good, it has trapped me for a day, it's very powerful." ”

"You-you entered the Heaven and Earth Upside-Down Hanging Array, and came out of it again?!" Fang Wei exclaimed, his eyes wide and his expression of shock.

"Heaven and Earth Hanging Upside Down Great Array? Wan Qiu Qingdao, "Is there a formation map, do you mind borrowing the slave family to study for two days?"

"Mind! mind very much!" Fang Wei bit the sentence and said, wondering if there was something wrong with Wan Qiuqing's brain circuit, otherwise how could he ask such an idiot's question.

"Stingy!" Wan Qiuqing said displeased.

"-" Fang is different.

"Haha, mother, why are you here?" Qi Changkong happily crooked his nose, and even crawled up to meet him, while looking around, but he didn't see anyone else's figure, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, where is his old man?"

"Don't look for it, just my mother is alone. "Wanqiu Qingdao.

"Ah?!" Qi Changkong's mouth opened wide enough to stuff a fist, and then he said anxiously: "Mother, what are you here to make a fuss? It's too dangerous here, go home quickly." ”
