Chapter 132: The Mysterious Old Man on the Treehouse

Fang Xiaoyu was completely out of touch with Mu You.

Inexplicably killed out of the army, inexplicably went to the capital, inexplicably killed people on the street, inexplicably wronged the prince for embezzling military salaries, and then inexplicably gave Li Lu such a map, with four big characters written on the back in such a secret way "My name is King Yun".

It does seem to be as Zhou Cheng said, like a prince's title, but the scope is inevitably too wide. What's more, the four words 'my name Yunwang' don't seem to be telling something, but they inexplicably read a little momentum from these four words.

"My name is Yun Wang ......" Fang Xiaoyu was puzzled by this. Although Qian Chuanzi has solved the mystery behind the map, it is obvious that he has no clue about these four words.

Fang Xiaoyu was not so disappointed. At least it's a leap forward from when it started.

Although the meaning of these four words is not yet understood, they are at least a clue. As long as you follow this clue, there will always be a day when the clouds break and the sun rises.

"The ten of you will stay here, don't be separated, cooperate with each other to hunt down the ambushes in the surrounding area of the Great Zhou, as long as you are not greedy for merit, I dare not say that there is no loss, but at least it will not be too bad. Don't go any deeper, I always feel that something is not normal. I'll go in and see for myself, and you'll go and meet the others while you clear the ambushes. Fang Xiaoyu looked at the boundless depths of the forest, and always felt that there was some very important secret hidden there. If not, why would Princess An always carry such a piece of jade with poor jade quality?

Her father is a general in the northwest, and among the generals, there are only a few out of millions of people who can become generals, but they can't even buy a piece of high-quality jade jade? To carry such shabby things to his only daughter is unusual no matter how you think about it.

But this jade pendant has something to do with Mu You again.

She believed that Mu You would not leave Li Lu a useless piece of paper for no reason. What's more, the map is a little crooked, as if it was drawn quickly in a hurry, and there are some messy folds on the map, like traces of being scratched and then flattened at random. So she guessed that Mu You probably drew the map in a very anxious situation, and then maybe there was an accident, so he hid the map at random and didn't fold it carefully. It's a messy roll. Wait until it's safe to do so before re-compacting it.

However, this qiē is just her own speculation, and she can't do it accurately, if she wants to know the truth, she may have to go back to Beijing to meet this Mu You. There will be some unexpected gains.

"Boss, it's too dangerous for you to go in on your own. But since the boss has decided, there must be no problem. The leader goes all the way. Zhou Cheng's expression changed so much. He can be called a master of face changing.

"!" Fang Xiaoyu kicked Zhou Cheng's buttocks, kicked him out of the way, and then left him with only a big white eye, and then walked towards the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom deep in the forest.

Fang Xiaoyu struggled to recall the directions of the routes he saw on the top of the dead wood, and then slowly overlapped them against the staggered lines on the map.

Accidentally stained with a few drops of blood on her body, Fang Xiaoyu frowned, she was ambushed by many Great Zhou ambushes along the way, but she solved them casually.

Killing people inevitably gets bloody, but Xu is a little pampered in this life, and he has become a little hypocritical. A few drops of blood on his body felt uncomfortable tight. But being in a place like this, it's unavoidable. Those situations where killing people are like dancing and not dripping blood will probably only appear in novels.

There are a lot of intersecting and staggered paths on the map, and Fang Xiaoyu is a little difficult about which direction to go. For her, she didn't know what lay ahead, but she had just gotten her way all the way here with the information she had obtained by chance, and it was impossible to say that she was not nervous without a hint of tension in her heart.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she stared at the blackened drop of blood on the map. Comparing the hollowed-out map in the jade pendant, she actually discovered the similarities between the overlapping friendships on the two maps.

Because the jade quality is not good, it is inevitable that there will be some flaws. When she first got the jade pendant, she thought it was just a flaw and didn't pay too much attention to it. But it was just a flash of inspiration. She suddenly remembered that the obvious flaw on a certain line in the jade pendant map was exactly the same as the location of the blood dot on the map of Muyou.

Is this a coincidence?

One or two can be explained by coincidence, but when so many coincidences come together, it is no longer as simple as coincidence.

Fang Xiaoyu followed the route in her memory and found the fork in the road where the blood spots and flaws were. Without thinking, I chose this path to move forward.

It took about an hour or so for her to see what she wanted to see in the direction of the blemish and the blood.

A treehouse.

The tree is not very tall, about the height of two or three people, and it is inconspicuous among the many towering trees.

The trunk of the tree is very thick, and the branches are the thickness of the trunk of ordinary small trees, and there is a small wooden house built on the tree, which is very delicately designed, and it is perfectly inlaid at the boundary between the trunk and the branches, as if it has grown naturally, and there is no incongruity at all.

This tree is called a rubber poplar, and it is a very sharp and sturdy plant, usually it takes at least a few decades for a rubber poplar to grow, although the trees are generally shorter, but it is difficult to cut down. If you use an ordinary axe to cut it, I am afraid that the axe will be cut off, and the tree will only be imprinted with a shallow mark.

In this forest, where war breaks out every year, who would go to the trouble of building a treehouse in such a place? Aren't you afraid of encountering soldiers and getting into unnecessary trouble?

Fang Xiaoyu lurked quietly where he could see the treehouse, and did not act rashly. This day has been running back and forth, and even she feels a little tired.

It was getting dark, and there were too many variables in the night battle. The Great Zhou people are good at jungle warfare, and they must have practiced night warfare, once the two sides meet, the enemy is outnumbered, which is really not a wise move. In that case, it is better to find a place to rest and wait until tomorrow when it is dawn to make plans.

Fang Xiaoyu found a big tree with thick branches and towering into the sky, and quietly climbed to the top of the tree, hiding the whole person in the dense leaves. The tree has a good view of the direction of the treehouse, which is also convenient for him to monitor the treehouse.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Fang Xiaoyu leaned on the branch of the tree to comb through the information she had gathered these days.

She felt it faintly. The truth hidden in front of her is likely to involve a shocking conspiracy. But she vaguely hoped that this so-called earth-shattering conspiracy was just her own overthinking. If that's true, it's too much trouble......

Fang Xiaoyu thought about it and fell asleep.

She didn't sleep soundly this night. She always kept dreaming at night, dreaming about some details of her previous life that she didn't care about, and she was in a cold sweat when she woke up.

When she woke up, it was still dark, there were no lights in the treehouse, and the doors and windows were tightly closed. It seems to be uninhabited.

Fang Xiaoyu waited until the sky was bright and the sun was rising, and then he saw an old man tremblingly open the door of the tree house, and then opened the window to ventilate, and then sat on a chaise longue on the tree to bask in the sun.

The old man looked about fifty or sixty years old, not too old, but a little hunched back made him look old.

Fang Xiaoyu's face was a little heavy. Even if he was far away, he could still judge from the old man's pace, and this old man's martial arts were by no means idle.

If you have to say something specific, for example, Zhou Cheng's original level is one. Then his current level is ten, and Fang Xiaoyu's level is about two hundred, so this old man is also nearly seventy or eighty.

It sounds like a lot of Fang Xiaoyu, but don't forget that Fang Xiaoyu is an alternative in this world. She has the memory of the martial arts cheats of other martial arts worlds that are more high-end, and it is not a system at all with this world of low-level martial arts.

It's about the level of Fang Xiaoyu, which is definitely one of the top people in this world. And it is such a person, but he ran into such a dangerous forest to bask in the sun, which is inevitably too idle.

If Dacheng has such a strong martial artist at the same level as this person, then it must be the 'shadow' in the palace who has been following the emperor since ancient times.

The previous emperor was poisoned by forgetting worries, and there was a master in the palace who helped the emperor suppress the poison with internal force. I'm afraid that person is the one who has been following the emperor all along.

Such people have gone to the palace to work as secret guards, but this old man is basking in the sun in the forest?

And this forest belongs to the half of the Great Zhou, and the fact that he can live here safely is enough to prove that he is a member of the Great Zhou. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Great Zhou soldiers, who often trained in the forest, to let any hidden dangers hide here.

So. Who is this person? What is the purpose of his life here?

Does he have anything to do with the Great Zhou royal family?

Fang Xiaoyu felt that there was no point in waiting. She didn't know anything about the other party, and it would be a waste of time to continue to observe them like this.

Fang Xiaoyu decided to meet this old man. Listen to some information from him.

With her martial arts, even if the other party has bad intentions, I'm afraid few people can keep her. It's just that there is a chance that it will startle the snake.

However, there is no better way for her to do it now, and it is worth trying.

Fang Xiaoyu jumped down from the tree. Head in the direction of the treehouse.

She didn't walk fast because she didn't want the old man to notice her hurry.

It was just as soon as he got close to the tree house that the old man found Fang Xiaoyu's cunzài. Fang Xiaoyu was not hidden, standing squarely under the tree house, the mask on his face against the sun, looking a little mysterious.

"You're finally here." The old man spoke lightly. The person was obviously above the treehouse, but the voice reached her ears very clearly, and the voice sounded slow and soft, and it was not hoarse as it was shouting.

He knew I was coming? Or is he waiting for someone else, mistaking me for that person?

Fang Xiaoyu's mind turned countless possibilities, but there was no surprise on his face, and he didn't speak, because if he said too much, there must be too many mistakes.

"Take a look at the token." The old man didn't seem to care about Fang Xiao's non-opening. He also noticed that Fang Xiaoyu's kung fu was not too bad.

Token?

Fang Xiaoyu sighed in his heart, and said in his heart that this old man should have known that someone was coming here. That's who he's waiting for. But the person who came was her, so the other party misunderstood that she was the one he was waiting for.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that the place near this treehouse has been arranged in a formation. Although the formation is not too advanced, it can also block the path of ordinary people. Unless someone who knows the formation and someone who knows the way to break the formation, it will be difficult to come here and discover this treehouse.

And although she is not proficient in formation, she also knows a little bit about it. And because the formation is not advanced and not too difficult, she only struggled slightly to crack it, and finally succeeded in entering.

Token...... What is a token? How do you get by?

"What? You came without a token? Or ......" The old man glanced at Fang Xiaoyu, with a hint of vague killing intent in his slightly squinted eyes.

Fang Xiaoyu took out a jade pendant from his arms. The jade pendant is of poor quality, and there is a hollowed-out map carved on it.

The old man glanced at the jade pendant, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he resumed his normal words: "Secret words." ”

And code words?

Fang Xiaoyu was almost crazy. Why are these people so troublesome? Now that the problem of the token has not been solved, why did it come out with a code again? Hell knows what your house is!

Fang Xiaoyu paid attention to the old man's face, thinking in his heart, when he saw this jade pendant just now, the different color under his eyes did not escape her eyes. In other words, the old man knew this jade pendant.

He didn't make a fuss, which may mean that this jade pendant is closely related to the token, and it is likely that she accidentally touched this token but made her blind.

Wrongs and rights are not asided. Just pretend it's right. In other words, the token is this jade pendant or that map...... If so, is it ...... so-called code language?

Fang Xiaoyu's heart was pounding. She decided to give it a try. If it's wrong, it's a big deal to fight, it's not difficult to kill the other party, and it's not difficult for her to escape, even so, why be afraid?

"My name...... King Yun ......" Fang Xiaoyu tried his best not to tremble the four words he said. She was still a little nervous.

If you don't know anything, you come to the other party's territory to investigate, and luck is also a very important part of this kind of thing.

The old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, although the time was very short, Fang Xiaoyu captured it very well.

It gave him some confidence. Maybe all of her guesses were right.

"Come on." The old man still spoke lightly. And Fang Xiaoyu didn't show any expression, and with a lift of his toes, he flew in front of the old man on the tree house. (To be continued.) )
