Chapter 539: Traces in the Rain
The forest was very deep, and the two of them went hand in hand, talking from time to time, and gradually walked to the edge of the forest.
There is a road that is not too wide on the edge of the forest, and unlike other countries, the so-called official roads are rarely built, and most of them are mountain roads that have been walked out for many years, and there are no rules to talk about, and they are tortuously embedded in the dense forest.
Han Mo thought of something and couldn't help asking, "Master Pei...... Do you know how to make poisons? ”
Red Sleeves didn't know why Han Mo mentioned Pei Yinghou at this time, but since she asked, she replied: "Director Xue has been in one place for more than ten years, although I don't know if he has learned how to develop medicines, but ...... One belongs to the Internal Affairs Department, and the Silver and Money Division, the Equipment Division, the Training Division, and the Pharmacy Division are all subordinate to the Internal Affairs Division. Director Pei has served as a director for nearly ten years, and is in charge of the four divisions, of which the pharmacy department is also under his jurisdiction, I think he should also know a lot about pharmacy... The recipe of each potion in the West Flower Hall must be kept in one pharmacy department...... As long as Director Pei takes a closer look, he should be able to master the preparation of many kinds of medicines."
Han Mo nodded slightly, thoughtful.
The Flower Hall is not responsible for operations, but only for logistics, but in fact, this place is the most important, and the roots of other places are also rooted in one place.
If there is no one, the others are just empty shells, unable to supply fresh blood.
Because of this, the position of a principal must be unusual, and the person who can hold this position must not be an ordinary person, Pei Yinghou is gentle and respectful in front of Han Mo, but Han Mo knows that in Pei Yinghou's belly, he is very knowledgeable, and he is also very capable...
"Director Pei has been in the West Flower Hall for more than ten years...... Then do you know what he did before he entered the West Flower Hall? Han Mo asked.
Red Sleeves frowned slightly, but still replied: "Master Pei is a scholar." As far as I know, when he was in Beijing, he won the appreciation of the first emperor, and even entered the palace and worked as a close attendant in the imperial study for two years...... Later, he went to the West Flower Hall, and at the beginning he served as the secretary of a silver and money department, and after two years, he was promoted by his father-in-law to the head of a place......"
Han Mo was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Master Pei...... Came out of the palace? ”
Redsleeves nodded, but didn't say anything.
"The Imperial Study...... Being by the emperor's side, that is a great future" Han Mo frowned slightly: "Why did you come to our West Flower Hall...... A scholar is also willing to come to our flower hall, which is interesting."
Red Sleeves looked indifferent, and suddenly frowned, "My lord...... There was the sound of horses' hooves."
Han Mo only cared about talking to Red Sleeves, listening to Red Sleeves' reminders, listening quietly, and sure enough, he heard a faint sound of horses' hooves coming from the west, and couldn't help but secretly praise Red Sleeves' alertness...
"Don't go to the forest road for the time being" Han Mo said in a low voice: "The voice seems to be coming this way, let's not get out of the forest first......"
Red Sleeves nodded, turned over and dismounted, pulled the horse behind the big tree, from top to bottom, you could see the narrow path under the slope, Han Mo also got off the horse, standing beside Red Sleeves.
At this time, the sky was dark, and the rain was a little weaker, and the two of them stood quietly behind the big trees in the thick forest, and if they did not enter the forest, they would never find their existence...
The sound of horses' hooves gradually became clearer, and sure enough, it was coming this way, Han Mo's eyesight was amazing, although the sky was dark, but he could vaguely see that in the forest road not far away, several fast horses were galloping from west to east.
As the fast horse approached, Han Mo could see it clearly, this group of people were all wearing robes, but they were not wearing hats, and they were all wearing white turbans on their heads.
The leader is superb in horsemanship, and his body is also vigorous, and he opened a short distance from the people behind him, Han Mo saw the leader of the person, and immediately frowned, with a slight surprise in his eyes...
This group of Wind Nation knights sped through the forest road like lightning, and when they passed by Han Mo and the others, no one noticed that there were still people in the forest watching them.
"How...... It's him? When the group of knights galloped over, Han Mo frowned and couldn't help muttering to himself.
Red Sleeves glanced at Han Mo, Han Mo's inexplicable words made her a little confused.
After waiting for a while, there were no other horse teams coming behind, and the two of them came out of the forest, Han Mo looked at the direction where the group of knights had gone, his brows furrowed very tightly, and his face was full of strange colors.
He didn't speak, and Redsleeves didn't speak, just quietly following him.
Han Mo led the horse, looked at the horse's hoof prints stretching away in the muddy forest road, was silent for a moment, and finally turned over to the horse, and said in a deep voice: "Follow them and see what is going on."
Red Sleeves also turned over and got on the horse, as Han Mo's subordinate, what Han Mo commanded, she did what she did, naturally she wouldn't ask why she wanted to keep up with that group of people... If he is a cautious person, he is afraid that he will have to remind Han Mo not to cause more trouble, but in the eyes of Red Sleeves, there is nothing that cannot be done in this world, since he wants to keep up, then he will keep up.
Moreover, there are horseshoe prints left by that group of people in the forest road, which can be clearly seen, and there is no need for tracking skills.
Han Mo shook the reins of the horse and urged the horse forward, and the red sleeves immediately followed.
In other words, the road in the country of wind is not regular, not to mention the main branch road, only a moment, there are several forks in the road, fortunately this area does not belong to the settlement area, and it is dusk, and it is difficult to find people, so the horseshoe prints left by that group of knights are very clear, and follow the horseshoe prints all the way, but it is also very smooth.
After walking for more than 20 miles, he arrived at a canyon, the situation on both sides was lush with trees, and in the middle was a narrow valley road.
The mountains of the Wind Country are undulating, the forests are like clouds, and there are large canyons and small valleys everywhere, which is not surprising, such a small valley is also as many as cattle hair in the Wind Country.
"My lord, they have entered the valley......" Red Sleeves said in a low voice, "I don't know if they just passed through this valley, or if they stopped in the valley, we would easily be discovered by them if we rushed in...... Why don't you go and find out?"
Han Mo waved his hand, "No, they didn't leave, they were in the valley."
Red Sleeves frowned slightly, but she didn't know why Han Mo was so sure...
"I heard the neighing of horses in the valley," Han Mo smiled faintly, "It should be their horses...... They should be resting in the valley."
Redsleeves frowned and said, "Horse neighing? ”
Han Mo smiled and bowed his head, he had practiced the "Qi Sutra", the feeling of his facial features was much better than ordinary people, the neighing of horses in the valley was very weak, and at this time it was a west wind, from west to east, the sound of the valley was not coming from the wind, and it was even more difficult for ordinary people to hear, even if Han Mo had extremely keen hearing, he only faintly heard a trace of movement that was very unclear, although the red sleeves were calm and composed, but compared with Han Mo in terms of hearing, after all, there was a gap, so he couldn't hear the neighing of the horses in the valley...
"Our horses can't go in" Han Mo turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to Red Sleeves, "You go back a few miles, find a secret place, tie the horse into the forest, I'll wait for you here"
Red Sleeves took the reins of the horse, didn't say much, turned the horse's head, rode on the horse, and led Han Mo's horse away.
Han Mo originally wanted to enter the valley alone, but in this way, it was very likely that Red Sleeves would have the illusion that he had to avoid her in everything, which was naturally not a good thing for the relationship between the two, so he decided to let Red Sleeves enter the valley together.
After all, the red sleeves are extraordinary, with her by her side, if you really encounter trouble, then there is also a powerful help...
Not long after, Red Sleeves returned, at this time the sky was getting darker and darker, Han Mo didn't say much, and went straight into the valley, Red Sleeves had already pulled out a dagger in his hand, and followed closely behind Han Mo.
There is actually a small stream in the valley, the stream is murmuring, and the valley is also overgrown with weeds, waist-high weeds show that this place is indeed inaccessible, a muddy path is interspersed in the grass, extending to the depths of the valley, Han Mo can see clearly, there are horseshoe prints of that group of knights on the trail, and he does not go up the trail at the moment, but sticks it to the mountain wall of the valley, and his body is hidden in the grass, looking into the depths of the valley.
After walking for a while, the neighing of horses coming from the valley became clear, and Red Sleeves finally heard the neighing of horses at this time, and glanced at Han Mo, who was obviously surprised why Han Mo could hear the neighing of horses outside the valley.
The valley is narrow, on both sides are high mountain walls, and on top of it are dense woods, the sky is dark, the valley is quiet, the mountain walls on both sides bring people an inexplicable sense of oppression, and the whole valley is full of gloomy atmosphere.
After walking for a while, he saw a shadow moving not far ahead, and the two of them hid their bodies in the grass, slowly approaching the past, both of them were martial arts practitioners, extremely alert, walking in the thick grass, cautious, it was extremely difficult to be detected.
As he got closer, he saw that the shadows were all horses, and nearly ten horses were gathered in one part of the valley, all leisurely munching on the grass, and from time to time they raised their heads and neighed twice.
"Cave," Red Sleeves whispered.
Han Mo looked up, and sure enough, on the mountain wall on the left, there was a cave recessed, more than one person high, two meters wide, and it was pitch black inside, just like the big mouth of a giant beast in the wilderness, which was quite terrifying.
Han Mo stopped, and did not continue to move forward, just squinted his eyes, quietly looking at the cave, he knew in his heart that if his guess was correct, that group of knights was now inhabiting the cave.
Those knights were very valiant, but why did they inhabit this narrow valley, why did they inhabit such a terrible cave?
