Chapter 69: Tailgating

Gu Tianying and the others rode four cars and walked on the road leading to Lake City, if they wanted to go to the Water Lotus Valley, they needed to pass by the three major cities of Lake, Tu and Dry, and after these three cities, they could only reach the periphery of the Water Lotus Valley by a day and night to the southeast.

"Senior Zhou, there is no branch of my Cangyun hunting maid in Lake City, and I am not very familiar with the city lord, it is inconvenient for us to enter the city, so it is better to choose a road from here and detour to it." Several people came to a three-way crossing, and Cangbie Mountain immediately said to Zhou Boyi, Gu Tianying and Wan's identities are special, and among the three southeastern cities, there are not many acquaintances in Cangbei Mountain, and it is inevitable that it will be dangerous to enter the city. So a few people made up their minds before they set off, and it took a little more time to choose a trail to bypass the three cities.

"Okay, where do these two trails lead to each other?" Zhou Boyi asked, three forks in front of him, the spacious avenue that went straight forward led to Lake City, there was a small road on the left and right, there were still some people in a hurry on the right road, but the road on the left was sparsely populated, and I didn't know where it led.

"On the right side of this there are a few small villages, which can be bypassed in less than two days without hurry, and where you can rest and eat on every stretch of the road. However, there are a lot of people in several villages, and most of them are hawkers who go to Lake City and border cities to do business, and they should have seen wanted notices, and it is not very convenient to have many people, which is the only disadvantage. Cangbeishan explained in detail.

"And where does the path on the left lead? I don't think there's even a pedestrian. Zhou Boyi turned his head and asked.

Cangbeishan looked at the trail on the left and said, "This trail on the left leads to a hill in the north of Lake City, called Mt. Biyun. At the beginning, there was a kind of hare abundant in the mountains, and the meat was very delicious, and many hunters went to the mountains in groups to hunt, and this trail was paved by the hunters. Later, because of uncontrolled hunting, the hares on the mountain were slowly wiped out by the hunters, and no one walked this road. Choosing this trail requires crossing Mount Hiiyi to get around Lake City, and there are no villages along the way, so it's a minimum of three days' journey, but it's very safe. Except for the occasional hunter who tries his luck on Mt. Bii, there are almost no pedestrians. ”

"Is there a way through the mountains? Can it be a carriage? Zhou Boyi asked again.

Cangbeishan thought about it and said: "Many of the hunters who came here to hunt hares were south of Hucheng, and most of these people came in groups, and they could catch hundreds of hares in one trip, so they all used carts to transport each other, so there are roads to go next to the mountain, and the carriages should be able to pass." ”

Zhou Boyi thought about it and made up his mind, "Let's focus on safety on this trip, let's take the left path, fortunately, there are a lot of us, we can take turns to keep vigil at night, and there is a carriage, Mrs. Gu and Ziling can rest on the car temporarily." It's only three days, and the patience is over. ”

"Then let's decide like this, I can't say that we can happen to meet a few hares on Biyi Mountain, and when the time comes, we will make a fire and roast it, which can be regarded as a rare delicacy now." Cangbeishan and Zhou Boyi laughed and talked and turned to the left path, followed by Chu Evillai and Mu Tian guarding the carriage.

The trail to Hiiyiyama is not narrow, but it is overgrown with weeds, and a few colorful wildflowers bloom from time to time in the grass, blooming uninhibitedly in the breeze, adding a touch of brightness to the desolate scene. Cang Ziling lifted the curtain and talked with Wan Shi while enjoying the scenery. From time to time, he quarreled with Gu Tianying next to him, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious. The group did not look like they were fleeing, but rather like they were going out on an outing.

Although the trail is deserted, the road is not narrow, and many sections of the road are long straights, without too many turns, and the paving people have a strong purpose, which is to take the nearest straightest route to Mt. Hiiyi.

There are two advantages of fewer road curves, one is that it is not easy to get lost due to fewer detours, and the other is that you can see far away at a glance, and what situation can be found in time. At this time, Cangbei Mountain found something unusual, and rode behind everyone.

"Senior Zhou, there is someone behind us who is following us." Originally, it is normal for someone to follow behind, and the road is not your home, where people like to go, the same passerby naturally has a difference between before and after, and it cannot be said that people are following with bad intentions. It's just that Gu Tianying and Wan's are in the carriage, Cangbei Mountain can't pay more attention, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it's always good to walk the rivers and lakes to thank you for precautions.

"This man has been following us from the avenue." Zhou Bo said without looking back, he is an old man in Qingzhou, and when it comes to tracking and anti-tracking, he is an ancestor. From the time he returned to Long Town, Zhou Boyi had noticed this person, but he never spoke. "Although this road is rarely walked, it is only 'very few', and this person walks with us, and it does not necessarily mean that he must have ulterior motives. However, it's always good to take precautions, you lead the way in the front, and I'll go to the back and admonish. ”

As soon as Zhou Bo finished speaking, he pulled the reins slightly and sat down on the horse, and after waiting for the carriage behind to follow, he reminded Gu Tianying and the others to pay more attention, and instructed Cang Ziling to put down the curtain of the carriage, and then rode the horse to follow the carriage, and rushed forward without hurry.

Just after Zhou Boyi and the others walked for another half a moment, the person who followed behind suddenly whipped forward and rushed forward, very fast. Zhou Boyi, Chu Xilai and the others listened to the sound of horses' hooves galloping from behind, all of them had a straight face, and quietly operated their internal forces to prepare, although there was only one person on the other side, but they all understood the truth of the tiger fighting the rabbit. And if the other party really dares to take the initiative to attack Zhou Boyi and these tigers, then he must not be a rabbit.

Naturally, the speed of the carriage could not match the footsteps of the horses behind, and after a while, the rear rode alone to catch up. However, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, the other party did not mean to slow down and intercept. Just when everyone was tense and ready to deal with all the changes, the people who followed behind surpassed everyone with the sound of the howling wind, galloped forward, and ran away with a smoke.

Seeing that the people behind him had gone far beyond him, the big guys were relieved.

"It's just a fellow traveler, can we not be so surprised in the future." Mu Tian said dissatisfiedly, he was really nervous.

"Look at your cowardice, just your courage and you still want to break into the rivers and lakes, shame is not shame." Chu Xianlai glanced at Mu Tian with disdain, and pouted and mocked.

"Who's afraid, I call it pre-war excitement, you know? I wish those bastards would chase after me, and I'll show you a hand when the time comes. Mu Tian replied.

"What is Lu, you just run faster."

When the two were arguing, Cangbeishan rode his horse to the side of everyone, grinned and said with a relaxed smile: "It seems that I am too careful." ”

Zhou Bo's face did not relax, he looked at the person who walked away and frowned and said, "I don't think so." ”

"What's wrong, Master?" Chu Xie came to ask, and when everyone heard Zhou Boyi's words, they all raised their hearts again.

"Before, Beishan said that the person who chose this way to hurry was at most a hunter, but that person was dressed as an ordinary merchant, and he was a good person, he was a martial arts practitioner, and when he passed by me, I glanced at him, and this person's eyes contained murderous aura, and he must have killed people, and there are not a few."

After listening to Zhou Boyi's words, Cangbeishan nodded and said: "What Senior Zhou said is good, but I don't think this person has the intention of following us, I think maybe he committed a life lawsuit, and he is also a person who escaped, and we coincide with our thoughts, and we are ready to bypass Lake City from this road." ”

"Now this explanation is the most reasonable, we have something important to do, as long as others don't trouble us, whether he has killed people or set fires, we have to go our separate ways for the time being, and don't make any extraneous branches." Zhou Boyi and Cangbeishan are both righteous people, and if they saw wanted criminals in the imperial court in the past, they would help more. But now that their identities are different, they can't do anything willful, so as not to leak Gu Tianying and Wan's family.

Cang Beishan and the others all nodded yes, Zhou Boyi turned his head and looked behind him, for some reason there was always a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen. Zhou Bo stabilized his mind and eliminated distracting thoughts, turned around and said, "I don't think we can stay here for a long time, we have to speed up." The group escorted the carriage and quickly headed towards Mt. Hiiyi.

At the same time, outside a small forest directly south of Huilong Town, nearly 100 people surrounded a team of more than a dozen people, and among the encircled people, many of them were already wounded and stained with blood, apparently having just experienced a fight. Among the dozen or so people, there was a middle-aged man wearing a blue silk hat and a cyan embroidered robe, he was holding a sword with a cold light, staring at the person opposite with a gloomy face, and he was full of murderous aura, but within the man's powerful aura, there was a trace of instability, and it was obvious that he had also suffered some injuries in the fight.

If Zhou Boyi and the others could see this scene at this time, they would definitely be shocked, because these people were none other than the thirteen Cangyun hunters who were separated from them in Huilong Town, and the new deputy sect master of Qingmen, Qingyunguang.
