The speed of the horses was already relatively fast, and there were six people sitting on the ox cart, so in less than two quarters of an hour, the second brother's team caught up with Situ Junfeng and their ox cart and followed far behind.

"Second brother, it should be the ox cart, but it's so far away that I can't see the people on it clearly. Second brother, what should we do, do we want to catch up and intercept it? ”

Hiding on the hill, Xiao Qi looked at the ox cart on the mountain road below and asked the second brother.

"Don't worry, let's take the path and go to the front, hide in the dark and look at the people in the car, if it is indeed the third prince, then arrange for someone to follow all the way, and then send someone back to summon the news, let the eldest brother and them all come over."

The second brother retracted his gaze from looking at the ox cart, waved his hand to a few people around him, and immediately picked up his horse and ran forward.

After running for about a quarter of an hour, several people came to a corner of a mountain, tied the horses to the back of a tree on the hill and placed them, and the second brother took Xiao Qi to a tree with dense foliage halfway up the mountain to hide.

After a while, there was a sound on the mountain road, and the second brother who was hiding among the branches and leaves raised his eyes to see that it was the ox cart, and hurriedly patted Xiao Qi on the side.

"You kid is sharp-eyed, take a closer look, are there any three princes."

"It's really the Three Princes, the one sitting in the middle of the ox cart, wearing a gray linen dress and plastered on his face, isn't that the Three Princes! Next to him, dressed in black, is not the personal guard of the third prince, Yunmo. ”

Xiao Qi took a closer look, and suddenly found Situ Junfeng and Yunmo, who were surrounded in the middle and dressed up as ordinary rough men.

"Haha, sure enough, it's the third prince and Yunmo, Xiao Qi has made a great contribution from here, after this task is completed, the second brother will definitely give you credit when he goes back! Quick, send someone back to deliver a letter to the eldest brother, and let's follow all the way like this, waiting for the eldest brother to come and meet. ”

The second brother also saw Situ Junfeng and Yunmo's faces clearly, and patted the stingy shoulder happily at the moment. Seeing the ox cart go away, the second brother pulled Xiao Qi down from under the tree and went straight to the horses.

After arranging for one person to go back to deliver the letter, several people continued to fall far behind the ox cart, tracking all the way and leaving contact marks all the way, waiting for the arrival of the eldest brother and others.

"Young Master, where do we go now? Go forward and enter the territory of Qingyun County, the left is the road to Xiajiang Town, and the right leads to Fuyun Town. ”

The ox cart stopped at a three-way intersection, Yunmo looked around and asked Situ Junfeng.

"Qingyun County is Pei Guangyuan's place, and the manpower must have been arranged a long time ago, and it must be strictly investigated all the way."

Situ Junfeng looked at the intersection and thought for a while, then raised his hand and pointed to the fork in the road on the right.

"Let's go to Fuyun Town, there is still some distance from Qingyun County, and it is close to the Luoyun Mountain Range, let's be careful to avoid the investigation, and hide in the Luoyun Mountain Range for a while.

When it is confirmed that Duan Zhengming's villa is unmonitored, let's go into the villa again, so as not to cause trouble to Duan Zhengming's family. ”

After saying that, Situ Junfeng looked at the people who were driving the ox cart again.

"A few of you, after you arrive at the Luoyun Mountain Range, you can disperse and return to the Duan family, I estimate that the people who chased from the capital must know me and Yunmo, but they don't know you. As long as you are not with us, there will be no danger. ”

"Young Master, this is not good, we are ordered to protect your safety, how can we leave you alone, Young Master!"

As soon as he heard Situ Junfeng's words, Duan Nian hurriedly shook his head, looking disapproving.

"Duan Nian, don't worry, we won't be in danger. Besides, there are many people and big targets, if there are only two people, Yunmo and me, we will hide in Luoyun Mountain, and no one will be able to find us at all. ”

Smiling at Duan Nian, Situ Junfeng patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, Uncle Duan, aren't you worried about my strength. And I have already sent a message to Ji Gang, and Ji Gang will come over to join us soon, and I will protect the young master with Ji Gang when the time comes, no problem. ”

Yunmo understood that Situ Junfeng didn't want Duan Nian and the others to take risks with them, so he also smiled at Duan Nian. Besides, Yunmo does think that fewer people and smaller targets are indeed safer.

"Okay, then listen to the young master. After entering Fuyun Town, we will disperse and return to Duan Mansion, these materials should be enough for you to use for more than half a month. It is estimated that after half a month, the government should not pursue it again. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Duan Nian nodded and agreed to Situ Junfeng's proposal. Then he pulled the reins and drove the ox cart towards Fuyun Town.

"Second brother, they went to Fuyun Town. Shall we follow along, or shall we wait here for the big brother to come over? ”

Xiao Qi, who was far behind, saw the ox cart turn to the intersection leading to Fuyun Town, and asked the second brother.

"Of course, I followed, but the road was narrow, and it was all straight and not easy to hide. Let's wait here for a quarter of an hour before we go in, and then we will follow from a distance, and when we enter Fuyun Town and find out where they live, we will just wait for the arrival of the eldest brother. ”

The second brother looked around, found an old tree root and made it, stretched and leaned against the trunk.

"You leave a mark nearby, second brother, I'll rest for a while, and call me in a quarter of an hour."

"Okay, second brother, you rest, I'll leave the marking."

Xiao Qi smiled, took out a knife and carved a mark on the branch.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Qi woke up the second brother, and several people got on their horses and walked slowly towards Fuyun Town.

"Young Master, we have already entered Fuyun Town, will we let Uncle Duan and them leave now?"

Yunmo didn't know that he and the others had been followed, and after entering Fuyun Town, he asked Duan Nian to drive the ox cart to the side of the alley.

"Yes, the target of the ox cart is too big, don't throw it here, everyone hurry up and change clothes. After a while, we will be separated, and you will all walk separately, so as not to be discovered.

Bring a message to Duan Zhengming on my behalf, don't move like a mountain, let him not panic no matter what wind he hears recently, and wait for me to go back to him. Leave! ”

Quickly changing their clothes, Situ Junfeng and Yunmo took their baggage and quickly disappeared into the alley.

"Let's go!"

Duan Nian waved his hand to the few people who had changed their clothes, and the few people immediately dispersed and walked away in different directions.

"Second brother, the traces of the wheels have entered the alley over there."

After entering Fuyun Town, Xiao Qi took a closer look at the ground and found the traces of the oxcart that had gradually blurred.

Situ Junfeng's ox cart traveled all the way down the mountain road, and the wheels were stained with a lot of mud. After entering Fuyun Town, the roads in the town are paved with bluestone slabs, so the traces of the wheels gradually decrease.

"Keep up, don't let them run away from the trail."

The second brother led the horse towards the alley, but as soon as he walked far, he saw an ox cart parked there. An old cow was leisurely eating the grass in the corner, but there was no human figure in sight.

"Damn, they ran away! Hurry up and scatter to find it! ”

Unexpectedly, after chasing all the way, in the end, it was this kind of result, the second brother flicked his whip angrily and shouted at Xiao Qi and the others.

The crowd did not dare to slack off, and immediately scattered and searched everywhere.
