Early the next morning, Li Qiang and the others got up and began their respective tasks according to the previous day's assignment.

Li Qiang led the team, and Xu Mo and the three followed behind, heading towards the mountain.

Fortunately, the road to the mountain, because the local villagers often walk, there is a small road that can be passed, so you don't know where to start at all.

Li Qiang had trained how to track and avoid enemies in the jungle, and Wang Hao and the others obviously did not have this kind of person who could cover their whereabouts, so with Li Qiang's help, they quickly found the traces of Wang Hao and others.

"It looks like there should be seven or eight of them, and all of them adult males." Li Qiang stood up from the ground and said with a slight frown.

"In which direction did they go?"

No wonder Xu Mo asked this question, Li Qiang and the others followed the path towards the mountain, and after walking for less than half an hour, they found that they had reached the end.

Although there are some pedestrian tracks further inside, it is clear that not most people choose to go into the dense forest, so there is no road.

Li Qiang didn't answer Xu Mo's question, and continued to walk around, and after a careful look, he gave the answer.

"They're going to split up when they get here."

As soon as they heard this, Xu Mo and the others immediately gritted their teeth with hatred, feeling that Wang Hao was really treacherous.

However, Li Qiang continued, "Although the soldiers are divided into two ways, I still judge that Wang Hao is going that way. ”

As he spoke, Li Qiang pointed in a direction.

Xu Mo and the others glanced at each other, and they all felt that they didn't know what to say.

Then, they followed behind Li Qiang and continued to chase in the direction where Wang Hao had fled.

After tracking for nearly two hours, Li Qiang and the place they walked was becoming more and more remote.

Xu Mo and the others couldn't tell if someone had been here at all, but Li Qiang seemed to know that Wang Hao and they were passing by here, except for sometimes stopping to check, most of the time they kept walking.

The mountain road is very difficult to walk, and after two hours, Li Qiang's face does not change and his heart does not beat, but Xu Mo and the others are all a little out of breath.

But no one complained, they all followed closely behind Li Qiang, without saying a word!

Finally, Li Qiang, who was walking in the front, spoke, "Everyone, wait!" ”

"What's wrong?"

Xu Mo asked in a low voice, thinking that he had finally caught up with Wang Hao and the others.

However, when they came to Li Qiang's side, they found that things were not so simple.

In front of them, a river seven or eight meters wide stretched across the forest, blocking the way.

"Did they cross the river?" Xu Mo looked around, and then asked in a low voice.

Li Qiang shook his head, "I don't know, I'll cross the river to see the situation." ”

Afterwards, Li Qiang didn't say hello to Xu Mo and the others, took off his shirt and pants directly, jumped into the river, and quickly swam to the other side.

Fortunately, the river in this area is not turbulent, but Li Qiang didn't spend much effort, so he went to the other side of the river and began to take a closer look along the riverbank.

Xu Mo and the others watched Li Qiang walk back and forth on the other side by the river, and carefully looked for something on the ground.

In the end, Li Qiang "poofed", jumped into the river again, and swam back.

"How?"

Xu Mo and the others looked at Li Qiang with concern and asked.

Li Qiang shook his head, "They didn't cross the river. ”

"Didn't cross the river? Could it be that a few people can still go missing? Someone muttered strangely.

Li Qiang smiled helplessly, "It's definitely impossible to go missing, but their whereabouts may correspond to my worst guess." ”

"What speculation?"

"They prepared a boat here and left by boat through the river." Li Qiang said with a slight frown.

As soon as they heard this, Xu Mo and the others suddenly felt a pain in their livers.

If Wang Hao and the others really left by boat, they wanted to catch up with him, and it was really a dream.

"Don't think about it so much, let me see if they are going upstream, or if they are going directly downstream from the current."

After Li Qiang finished speaking, he went upstream first.

After a short time, Li Qiang and the others returned to their original places, but it had been determined that Wang Hao and the others could only go downstream.

Because the upstream is a small waterfall with a drop of more than 10 meters, it is absolutely impossible to get on the boat.

"Brother Li, did they really leave by boat?" Xu Mo looked at Li Qiang and asked, with a tangled look on his face.

After all, whoever chases after them all the way, and finally finds that the target actually has a means of transportation, and he and others can only chase with their legs, they can't help but be discouraged.

Li Qiang shook his head, and he didn't dare to give Xu Mo a positive answer right now.

"It's just a guess on my part, but it's not clear if they actually used the boat."

After a pause, Li Qiang continued, "So, let's look downstream, maybe we will find something." ”

After listening to Li Qiang's words, Xu Mo and the others all nodded, and now there is indeed only this way.

So, the group followed the river and looked downstream.

This search is more than two hours, and most of the people are already a little unable to walk, after all, they have basically not rested much from morning to now.

Although Li Qiang didn't have any big problems, in order to take care of his companions, he still let everyone get together and take a good rest.

"Brother Li, do you still want to look for it?"

Someone asked Li Qiang.

Li Qiang nodded, "Of course, no one has found it, so why not look for it?" ”

"But ......"

The man stopped talking, looked at the others, and still didn't say anything.

Li Qiang naturally understood what he meant, and he didn't hide it, so he explained directly, "I said at the beginning that Wang Hao is likely to go down the river in a boat, and theoretically speaking, it is impossible for us to catch up." ”

Hearing this, Xu Mo couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Then Brother Li, why do you continue to chase after you?" ”

Li Qiang smiled and continued, "Haven't you ever considered such a question? Why did Wang Hao build a so-called ancestral hall in this remote place? ”

These words made Xu Mo and the others silent, it was not that they didn't think about it, but they subconsciously ignored this matter, after all, their goal was to find Wang Hao.

Li Qiang didn't wait for them to answer, and continued, "We have checked the ancestral hall, and there are no secret doors or hidden places, but the rooms in that ancestral hall are very gorgeously decorated, and there are many of them, which is not normal in itself. ”

Xu Mo and the others looked at Li Qiang and knew that Li Qiang must have had some guess in his heart, so he raised this question.

"So I've been thinking, since the ancestral hall has no secrets, will the purpose of building this ancestral hall be to hide people's eyes and ears and specifically to receive someone?"

This idea was not a random thought by Li Qiang, but a conclusion based on his previous experience in performing many tasks.

Because many of the missions he did at the beginning, including themselves, would have something like a safe house.

Although the ancestral hall does not look like a safe house, it can be a different kind of ah, for example, someone is trading here, so in order not to attract the attention of the relevant departments, so a special ancestral hall was built to hide people's eyes and ears.

And the biggest problem is that since Wang Hao and the others have prepared a boat, why don't they leave the ancestral hall and continue to stay there until they know that Li Qiang and they are coming, and then they leave by boat.

Therefore, Wang Hao was in the ancestral hall at that time, there must have been something going on, and that ancestral hall would definitely not be a simple ancestral hall.

From this, Li Qiang came to a deference that even if Wang Hao and the others left by boat, they would not be too far away from the ancestral hall.

Maybe they'll go around the river and come back to square one!

This is why Li Qiang will chase after him!

After listening to this analysis, Xu Mo and the others immediately looked at Li Qiang with admiration, everyone knows these things, but only Li Qiang can analyze them so thoroughly.

Li Qiang faced the admiring gaze of everyone, smiled, and did not continue, and only after everyone had rested did he continue on the road.

This time, there was a clear goal, everyone was full of energy, and no one showed an expression that could not stand it.

After walking along the river for more than an hour, the river became wider and wider, and finally it almost became a river channel dozens or hundreds of meters wide.

At this moment, Li Qiang waved his hand, motioned for everyone to hide in the grass, and looked ahead with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"What's the matter, Brother Li, have you found Wang Hao?" Xu Mo and the others followed behind, but Li Qiang blocked their view, and they didn't notice what was going on in front of them for the time being.

"See for yourselves."

Li Qiang said, getting out of the way.

Xu Mo and the others came to the front position, looked carefully, and finally looked at Li Qiang with a puzzled expression, they didn't see anything useful from the front.

Li Qiang secretly smiled bitterly, forgetting that these people had not undergone special training, and their eyesight could not see so far from him.

So he took everyone a little further forward, and finally let everyone see what Li Qiang saw just now.

As far as the eye can see, a simple pier has been built against the edge of the river.

At this time, there were several cargo ships of not small tonnage parked on the wharf.

Vaguely, you could see that there were people unloading or loading something from the cargo ships on them.

Behind the pier, in the gap blocked by the trees, you can clearly see the houses lined up one after another.

"Got to the city?"

Someone muttered to himself in confusion.

"Are you stupid? Where does this look like a city? Xu Mo couldn't help but reply to the man.

"Brother Li, what's the situation?"

Everyone subconsciously already thinks that Li Qiang is omnipotent, so when they encounter a problem that they don't understand, they look at Li Qiang for the first time.

Li Qiang squinted his eyes slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I see."

Li Qiang's self-talk couldn't help but make everyone scratch their heads.
