Before the city gate was opened, there were already a lot of people waiting outside the city, and there were those outside the city who did not catch up with the city last night and were locked up and waited outside, and the city was ready to go out of the city early in the morning to do business, so as soon as the city gate was opened, more people began to come and go.

When Ma Xiaotian and the others arrived at the city gate, the city gate had been open for a while, and the people who went out of the city were also waiting to leave the city in an orderly manner. Ma Xiaotian had slowed down his horse before approaching the crowd, took out his token, and when he reached the soldiers defending the city, he didn't dismount, but just held his token in his hand to show them.

The guards guarding the city knew the general's token, and they didn't dare to stop it, so they pulled the crowd of people lining up in and out of the city on both sides, and made way out, Ma Xiaotian took Zhuo Songbai to pass quickly, thinking about the road outside the city and running all the way.

The people queuing in and out of the city only knew that it must be someone from the government who had just passed, but it was unknown who it was, but at this moment in a dark corner of the city gate against the wall, a beggar in rags and squatting at the foot of the wall, his dress and sitting position made people not notice his existence, and he kept his head down, as if he was sleeping, but when he heard Ma Xiaotian's hooves just now, no one noticed his gaze, and when he saw Ma Xiaotian take out the token, his eyes were burning, with a calculating chuckle on his lips.

After Ma Xiaotian and Zhuo Songbai rode away on horseback, the beggar stood up from the ground, although he was in shabby clothes, but his body was strong, but he deliberately bent his back and walked to a crowded place, and then followed the crowd out of the city, followed the people out of the city, and quietly went out of the city.

The beggar kept his back bent and staggered forward, and most of the people who went out of the city walked on the main road, but this beggar was walking while observing the movements of the people around him, and when he came to a place where there was no one in front and behind, he suddenly straightened his back, and quickly disappeared into the woods by the roadside. Soon there was a rustle in the woods, and the beggar disappeared without a trace, and no one noticed his presence and disappearance at all.

In the dense forest outside Youzhou City, a group of people have set up camp in the dense forest. Their whereabouts are secretive, and no one finds out when they entered the woods? How long has it been here? They stay in one place for a day or two, then they will leave the place and change camps. Don't clean up the traces of the previous camp, so that people can't see the traces of people's activities here. Therefore, even the hunters who went into the mountains to hunt did not find that there was such a group of people in the forest.

The people in the camp were busy packing their bags and preparing to change to a new camp. The muscular beggar ran swiftly from one end of the woods, according to his mark. The people in the camp had already heard the abnormal movement of the jungle, and a sturdy man in black immediately put down his bag and quickly went up to a tall tree beside him, he was athletic, and jumped to the branch of six or seven meters high in three or two clicks, his eyes were as cold as a falcon to the branch as the origin, first the position where the sound was made, and then turned to the position to investigate, when he saw the sturdy beggar, he bowed his head and signaled to the accomplice under the tree, and made a gesture, and the accomplice under the tree relaxed from his vigilance.

Knowing that the person who came was their own, the others under the tree continued to pack their unfinished bags. After a while, the beggar approached the camp, and the man in black in the tree saw that there was nothing unusual around him, and then he jumped down from the tree. At a height of six or seven meters, his body jumped down like a leaf, landing very lightly, and there was no sound on the ground, he had already landed.

The beggar entered the camp, and the others were busy with their own things as if they didn't see him, and the beggar looked around the camp, and found that the person he was looking for was sitting on the campfire in the middle of the camp, as if he was meditating, and sat cross-legged quietly by the extinguished bonfire in black clothes and black veils, and the beggar walked straight towards the man, kneeling on one leg respectfully, covering his chest with his right hand, and said respectfully: "County Lord, according to the information sent back by the lone wolf, his subordinates entered the city last night and found Ma Xiaotian's mansion, After observing all night, he found that there were indeed three more female dependents in his family, and Ma Xiaotian deliberately rushed back to his house last night to stay overnight, and left the city and returned to the camp as soon as the city gate was opened this morning. ”

The beggar knelt there waiting for the county lord's orders, and when he saw that the county lord did not answer him for a long time, he said to the county lord with a sense of humor: "My subordinates retire." ”

The beggar got up, and like the rest of his companions, packed his bags and prepared to leave the camp.

The person who was called the county lord didn't let go of his crossed legs until everyone had cleaned up, slowly stood up, looked around, and gave orders: "Today we will bring the camp closer to Youzhou City, set up camp in the forest outside the city, and send people to continue to keep an eye on Ma Xiaotian's private house in the city, and find a way to find out the relationship between the three female dependents and Ma Xiaotian." ”

"Yes" Everyone received the order, and lowered their voices in response to the leader, but the voice was not loud, because this would not alarm the nearby birds, this group of soldiers were all well-trained warriors, and naturally knew how to hide themselves safely in this jungle from being discovered.

Xu Qingfeng got up early in the morning and heard that Ma Xiaotian had come back with Zhuo Songbai last night, and the two of them went back as soon as the city gate was opened in the morning, so he was embarrassed to continue to stay here for a long time, and drove back after breakfast. Before going out of the city, he didn't forget to go around the pharmacy he frequented, bought some missing medicinal materials, and bought some jelly beans to go back, Xiao Mozhu was alone in the camp again, he had to buy something to go back and coax the child.

The old man drove the carriage alone, and returned to the camp in such a graceful manner, and it was only at noon that the carriage wandered to the place.

Tang Haitang only knew that Ma Xiaotian came back with Zhuo Songbai in the morning, Qian Yingying said that Zhuo Songbai couldn't stay for breakfast in the morning, so he was dragged back to the barracks by Ma Xiaotian, Qian Yingying also muttered that Ma Xiaotian came back and forth, it was really without a trace, so that her senior brother followed to eat melons, and she didn't eat a good meal even if she ate soil, why did she go back in a hurry?

Tang Haitang listened to her complaints, just laughed and said nothing, and thought in his heart: Did he rush back for himself?

Thinking of the two intimate contacts between the two yesterday morning and evening, Tang Haitang's face couldn't help but turn red again.
