The next day, before dawn, I heard the thieves outside making a commotion again.

The two men who were hiding in the big room washed their faces in this room, wiped them with the hand towels in the house, and quietly left the place and went outside, finding a suitable place to hide. Listening only to the sound of people outside the courtyard wall shouting and neighing, it seems that Wei Xingyin is really preparing to leave and rush to the main village of Dongshangou.

At this time, his subordinates had pawned all the things they needed, and Wei Xingyin came out of his residence lazily, and saw Chang Ping waiting for him with a dozen or so minions, so he asked,

"Did you send a letter to my grandson?"

"It's already been sent out with pigeons, so you can rest assured."

Chang Ping nodded and said respectfully.

Wei Xingyin took the reins of the horse from him with great satisfaction, jumped on the horse's back, and said,

"Then let's go."

"Yes!"

Chang Ping and the other minions also followed, jumped on their horses, and together urged the horses to gallop towards a mountain.

As soon as they left, Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu, who had long been hiding on the side of the road, secretly followed. Fortunately, both of them were very brisk, and at this time, the sky was just showing light, and under the cover of tall grass and trees, it was not easy for them to find out.

In this way, they turned into the mountain, and the sky began to brighten, and if they chased after them from behind, the possibility of being detected naturally increased, and the two simply jumped to the mountain beside the road, observed and followed from top to bottom.

Originally, it was still very smooth, but a small stream appeared in front of them, and Wei Xingyin and his group followed the stream and turned into a valley, and then disappeared.

It's really-

Zong Jiyuan cursed secretly in his heart, and when he swept down the mountain and rushed to the front of the valley, he had already lost the trace of those thieves.

At this time, Wang Yu also caught up from behind, and said with a slight breath,

"Oh my God, Ji Yuan, you're really fast enough."

"Stop talking this nonsense,"

Zong Jiyuan said a little angrily,

"Don't look for it, where the hell have they gone! has been tracked to this point, and it will not be wronged to let them run away. ”

"Don't worry, there are so many people and horses, there will always be some traces."

Seeing that she was really anxious, Wang Yu's expression became serious, but she was still trying her best to comfort the other party.

The two of them separated and searched separately, but just now Wei Xingyin and they seemed to have walked through the stream, and it was not easy to find the horseshoe prints left behind. Looking at the surrounding mountains, water, and trees, but there was no obvious road to go, Zong Jiyuan was really a little crying and laughing.

Just when he was already a little deflated, Wang Yu suddenly found something and shouted,

"Ji Yuan, come and see here!"

"What did you find?"

As he walked over, Zong Jiyuan asked.

Wang Yu pointed to the stream and road in front of him with the sheathed knife in his hand,

"You see, there's like there's a little stream of water here."

"Really."

Although this means that there is another way out here, but looking up and following the direction of this small stream, he can't find anything abnormal in front of him, Zong Jiyuan thought for a while,

"Let's go over and have a look."

"Okay,"

Wang Yu nodded, and also affirmed Zong Jiyuan's idea just now,

"Since this water can be distributed elsewhere, it means that there is a place where it flows."

"yes......"

Zong Jiyuan pondered what he said, and followed Wang Yu tentatively forward, but the two of them did not walk too far, so they had to stop again, because this time there was really no way out.

There were mountains all around, and there was really no place where the horses could pass through it except the small valley where they had come.

Wang Yu's brows also furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he came to the water just now and looked at it, and suddenly said,

"Ji Yuan, there seems to be a cave here, so windy......"

Zong Jiyuan didn't have the heart to answer at this time, he came to the vicinity a few steps and looked at the place he said, but there was a hole, but it would be possible to accommodate a person, and he would have to barely get into it to get through, and it was impossible to allow horses to enter from here.

Probably seeing the thoughts in her heart, Wang Yu glanced at Zong Jiyuan and said,

"You have the right to wait here, I'll go in and see if there will be any mechanism or something."

"Brother Wang Yu...... Be careful. ”

Zong Jiyuan instructed with some concern.

Wang Yu was about to bend down so that he could enter the cave, but after listening to her words, he turned back and smiled,

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Watching him cautiously drill through the narrow hole, Zong Jiyuan's mood was very uneasy-

If you just look at the time of contact with this person, he not only helped himself and the county government a lot, but also taught himself a lot of experience from the side, and the past things make people feel that he is really a friend worth associating......

I was thinking about my thoughts, when suddenly the stone wall in front of me shook and sank inward, and then moved to the side, reminding people of the entrance to the dungeon in Fengming Villa.

When this stone door was opened, of course she was greeted by Wang Yu's smiling face.

"Grandmaster, please come in."

"You've really found it."

Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The two of them entered this hidden passage together, Wang Yu turned around and pressed on the stone wall, saying,

"It's better to restore it, and it's better not to let those thieves know that this place has been discovered."

"Brother Wang Yu is really thoughtful......"

Zong Jiyuan sighed lightly, looked at him again, and gestured,

"Let's go, we must find that Pingliang Village, their old nest."

It is said to be a passage, but it is only less than 100 meters away, and the front is on the other side of the mountain. Walking along the road, they came to a wide road very smoothly, and suddenly, the horseshoe prints that had just been imprinted on the ground, as well as the footprints of people, had clearly told the two of them that Wei Xingyin and his group passed through here.

The rest of the road was much easier, although it was necessary to guard against whether there would be any sentry spies scattered by the thieves in the east ravine, but it was much easier to find the footprints than before, and it was not yet noon, and the two of them found a village in the distance.

Counting, this should be the place where those thieves are entrenched, that is, the place called "Pingliang Village", but in this environment, why is there such a village, which looks very ordinary, and is not big or small.

"What's going on?"

Zong Jiyuan, who was hiding in the grass on the side of the road, said as if talking to himself and as if asking,

"Who would want to live in a place like that? It's so weird......"
