Chapter 340: Find another way out
No matter how dense the web is, there are loopholes, let alone a web compiled in a hurry.
When Rien heard Xu Jie's analysis, he immediately became depressed, and returned to the camp, where he lay on the couch and pondered all night, carefully tracing the father and daughter from his dream of Elder Shui, and then rescuing Goryeo from under the mouth of the leopard, and going out of the customs to search for the whereabouts of Elder Shui's father and daughter.

There are too many loopholes in this, and there is no indication or evidence to prove that Elder Shui's father and daughter escaped from Yanmen Pass and hid in Yanbei, this is just their own preconception, thinking that Elder Shui's father and daughter persecuted Goryeo together with King Mu and Chief Huo, so they thought that the four of them fled to Yanbei together.
Now King Mu has indeed fled back to Yanbei and hid in the ancient tomb of King Yan, but Chief Huo and Elder Shui, father and daughter, have completely disappeared.
On the second day, Li En sent Xu Jie away, and then gathered all the disciples of the Xiuzhen sect and lined up to inspect it.
As the men waited anxiously for the review to end, Ryan looked at the familiar faces and tried to pick out someone reliable and clever to complete a classified mission.
After inspecting the late Xiuzhen sect, Rien returned to the camp with a sad face, and when Yuxiao saw him returning, she asked, "Seeing that you are worried and worried, but you are worried about the whereabouts of Elder Shui's father and daughter?" ā
Zhao Anbang and Wu Huading and Qi Sanxi also followed in and asked, "Why is the alliance leader worried?" Say it and we'll figure it out! ā
Ryan said: "This matter is not easy to solve, I may really be blinded by appearances!" ā
Another day later, when the snow fell again, Rien took Yuxiao and Ah Bi to bid farewell to the two elders of the Xiuzhen faction, and then went to Yanmen Pass.
They not only met General Qu Duan in Yanmen Pass, but also met Tong Caixia of the Cultivation Sect.
Tong Caixia was still a little embarrassed when she saw Lien, but Lien said regardless of her previous suspicions: "I am very grateful to the Tong Fire Envoy for being able to lead the Cultivation Enlightenment Sect from Yumen Pass back to Yanmen Pass to support, I am far less familiar with Elder Water than the Fire Envoy, what kind of person is this Elder Shui?" ā
Tong Caixia said: "For Elder Shui, it is inconvenient for his subordinates to comment arbitrarily!" ā
Rien nodded in response and said, "I can understand, then ask the Child Fire Envoy to convene fellow cultivators, I want to review it!" ā
With the sound of war drums on the tower of Yanmen Pass, all the disciples of the Cultivation Sect gathered in line in the pass, and Lien walked in front of them one by one, these were also familiar faces.
Although the Cultivation Sect lost eight elites such as Feng Chendong and Xiao Jie, their strength was still undiminished, and they stood in the cold wind against the heavy snow, accepting the review of the alliance leader, their eyes full of expectation.
After dark, Rien stayed in Quduan's room, so he asked him for advice: "We went out of the customs this trip to hunt down the father and daughter of the rebellious Elder Shui of the martial arts, but there is no trace of them at the moment, which is embarrassing, and we can't stay outside the customs all the time, otherwise it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the imperial court!" ā
Qu Duan said: "The alliance leader is young and promising, but people are not sages, there will always be mistakes, will Elder Shui's father and daughter no longer be in Yanbei?" ā
Rien nodded and said, "It is very likely that a few days ago, Xu Jie, the original servant of the Alliance Lord's Mansion, came to Yanbei to visit me, and his inference is that Elder Shui's father and daughter may have entered the grassland or headed west to the Flame Mountain, and the former is more likely." I'm at a loss now. ā
There was a world map hanging in Quduan's room, and he pointed to the location of Yanmen Pass with a wooden stick, and then pointed out the location of Yanbei and the grassland, and analyzed: "From the geographical point of view, if Elder Shui's father and daughter are fleeing to the Flame Mountain, they will have to pass through Tongguan and go out of Dunhuang, and Dunhuang has two Xiongguan passes in Yangguan and Yumen Pass, the road is far away, and the environment along the way is bad, and the people in the Western Regions are more wary of the people from the Central Plains. ā
Rien said: "If his father and daughter really fled to the Flaming Mountain, it will be difficult to hunt down!" ā
Qu Duan said affirmatively: "The possibility of Elder Shui's father and daughter escaping to the Flame Mountain is indeed very small, and the possibility of escaping to the grassland is very high!" ā
"King Mu is a Liao, Chief Huo is a Jurchen, and Elder Shui's escape to the grassland will not be a dead end like Yanbei." Ryan analyzed: "But we don't know how to go to the grassland to find out the news now? ā
Qu Duan said: "Actually, the alliance leader can also use the bitter meat meter to lure the snake out of the hole!" ā
"Bitter meat trick to lure the snake out of the hole?" Ryan asked, "I hope the general will give you detailed instructions!" ā
Qu Duan shook his head and said: "It's not that the last general is unwilling to give advice to the alliance leader, it's just that the last general, as a person in the court, can't interfere in the affairs of your rivers and lakes, otherwise it will cause suspicion from the saints, and even more dissatisfaction with the people in the rivers and lakes!" ā
Li En had to give up again, he was also tossing and turning in the room, and said goodbye to Qu Duan early the next morning, and then ordered Tong Caixia to continue to lead the Xiuwu sect to guard the Yanmen Pass, and strictly check the people who entered and exited the pass, and he took Yuxiao and A Bi to return to Luoyang in a hurry.
After returning to the alliance leader's mansion, Yu Zhenghua was very happy to see him come back, and Li En gave him a piece of ancient jade that he picked up in the ancient tomb of King Yan as a gift, and when he learned about the situation in the ancient tomb, Yu Zhenghua said: "Will Elder Shui's father and daughter have fled to the grassland as Senior Xu said?" ā
Li En nodded and responded: "It's very likely, but the grassland is already the border of the Liao Kingdom, and it is inconvenient for me to continue to send people to investigate!" ā
Yu Zhenghua said: "Since it is inconvenient for us to send people from the martial arts to investigate, then we can send people from the rivers and lakes to track down the whereabouts of Elder Shui's father and daughter!" ā
"Not a martial arts person? Who is it? Ryan asked.
Yu Zhenghua replied: "Businessmen, people in officialdom, and doctors can do it!" ā
As soon as he heard the doctor, Rien immediately understood, and asked, "Divine Doctor Xue, we can let Divine Doctor Xue go to the grassland to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of Elder Shui's father and daughter in the name of picking medicinal herbs." ā
Yu Zhenghua shook his head and said, "Doctor Xue has an unusual relationship with you, so you can't send him!" ā
In addition to Doctor Xue, there is also a long-haired snow monster Tashi Dawa from Tibet, but Tashi Dawa has stayed in Cangshan.
Rien went to visit Luoyang City alone and asked him for advice.
He said: "The rivers and lakes are deceitful, and the intrigue is no less than the officialdom, according to the old man's opinion, the alliance leader can eat bitter meat to hide people's eyes and ears, the grassland and Liaoxi and Changbai Mountain are rich in life-saving ginseng, the alliance leader can pretend to seriously injure Tong Caixia of the Xiuwu faction and force away the Xiuwu faction." In this way, the Cultivators could flee into the grassland, and in the name of Tong Caixia looking for ginseng to heal their wounds, they could find out the whereabouts of Elder Shui in the grassland. ā
"It's also called luring the snake out of the hole!" "It's a great idea, but how do you implement it?" Rien realized. ā
Around the charcoal fire, he said: "This requires you to discuss with your friends, and the old man can only point you here!" (To be continued.) )
