Back at the inn, Sun Ze muttered, "The Tang Pavilion Lord is the same as the master, he is disrespectful to the old!"

Hao Jun echoed: "This is to clean up us in a different way, and he said that he won't fix us, isn't this bad?"

Ling Yi smiled and said, "Actually, it's not all bad, the Tang Pavilion Lord is testing our strength and guts!"

"Whatever, it's us who suffer in the end!" said Hao Jun, who was lying on the bed.

Ling Yi carried the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Don't think too much, let's discuss when you will set off, right?"

Sun Ze took over: "According to our speculation, the next time to transport Shenyin will be on the fifteenth, do you say we should go directly or find a helper?"

Ah Hai listened to Sun Ze's words and complained: "It's useless to know the time, our strength is not good, and we are just cannon fodder when we go up, why don't we find a helper?"

Ling Yi shook his head and said: "It's easy to expose intelligence if you find a helper, if we are not careful, we will be sold, let's investigate it ourselves, if it really doesn't work, we just can't see it, so it's a little safer!"

Hao Jun also nodded and agreed: "I know that the more people you have, the more dangerous it is!"

After discussing for a while, it was finally decided that Ling Yi, Sun Ze, and Hao Jun would go to investigate, and the time was temporarily set to set off on the 13th, so that they could observe the layout in advance. On May 12, Ling Yi was still asleep, and he was picked up from bed by Sun Ze and Hao Jun with a noisy sound, and came to the table, only to find that there was a bowl of longevity noodles on the table.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!!"

Ling Yi was very moved, the three brothers still remembered their birthdays, but they didn't know what their birthdays were!

After happily eating longevity noodles, Hao Jun led Ling Yi to Wuge to inquire about the news, but he didn't find any useful news until the evening.

At noon on 13 May, without telling anyone, the three men left the inn one after another and headed for the border, this time without going to the border guards to file a record, everything was done in secret.

It took a whole day, and the three of them finally walked to the Valley of the Dead Wood, and after a careful investigation, they found that there were a lot of fresh traces here, and it seemed that there were still many gangs waiting in the mountains and forests to find out the information!

Without stopping, touching the moonlight, the three of them headed towards Dakong Mountain, and finally arrived at Dakong Mountain at midnight.

Climbing up the steep mountain, Ling Yi and the three of them found a hidden location to hide.

On the 14th, when it was dawning, Ling Yi went down to the bottom of the mountain again, and carefully observed the surrounding environment for a while, the trees were still tall and dense, but there was no trace of a fight.

turned back to the cliff and told the two brothers about the problems they found, they also felt strange, but according to the reasoning, there should be nothing wrong, so what is the problem?

Sun Ze finally suggested: "We don't have to run around, this surrounding area must have been explored by many gangs, if there is really a problem, it would have been discovered a long time ago, since there is a great possibility here, it is better for us to wait here and see, not necessarily our guess is correct!"

The day was good, there were no anomalous incidents during the period, and it was soon the fifteenth.

On this day, the three of them increased their attention, and they would observe carefully no matter what direction there was an abnormality, but they did not find the situation during the day, until a group of people appeared in the evening, a total of more than twenty people, there were three great martial artists, the strongest reached the strength of the three-grade great martial artists, and the others were all high-level martial artists, and this team can be described as extraordinary.

They didn't shy away from it, they directly set up camp in the open space below the mountain, judging from their clothing, these people should be members of a gang in Jingzhou, because the distance was too far, Ling Yi and the three didn't hear their conversation.

However, judging from their vigilance, this group should be preparing to ambush here.

After exchanging glances, Ling Yi and the three of them understood that this group of people should have come here to wait after calculating the time and place of the crime, and they were preparing to wait for the rabbit.

After dark, the three of Ling Yi raised their energy to the highest level, always paying attention to the people below the mountain. The moonlight sprinkled with white flowers, and from the cliff you could just observe every move below.

At that moment, another group of people appeared, also gang members, who hid in the woods not far away, and did not have a face-to-face with the group that came first, it seems that they want to come to a praying mantis cicada catcher yellow finch behind!

Time passed slowly, as if it stood still, only the chirping of insects and birds was heard, and everything else melted into darkness.

As soon as the time passed, I found that something was wrong, it was a windless night, but a cold wind blew, afraid of being poisoned like the last time in Yongmao and the warehouse, Ling Yi and Sun Ze plugged the anti-poison nasal congestion.

After a quarter of an hour, nothing had changed, no poison, and no one had arrived.

The people down the hill began to get a little agitated, probably without the desire to continue waiting.

At this moment, eighteen people suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, and even the three Ling Yi who were observing on the mountain did not find out when these people appeared.

Eighteen people were dressed uniquely, as if they were ethnic minorities, but they were not ethnic minorities in the Dongsheng Empire, judging from their skin color, they should be from the Baise Kingdom.

When Ling Yi and the three of them saw these eighteen people appear, their attention was highly concentrated in an instant, because these eighteen people were all the strength of the Nine Rank Martial Artists!

It's terrifying, so many strong people appear at the same time, I don't know if they have a backhand.

The two groups of people under the mountain found these eighteen people respectively, and the first group of gang members directly surrounded these people, and seeing that their strength was good, they did not rush forward.

Listening to them ask a few words from a distance with his mouth open, Ling Yi didn't understand, the person who asked was in Baise language, and after asking for a long time, the people on this side of the Baise Kingdom just didn't answer.

There was no communication, and the critical moment appeared here again, in line with the principle of preferring to kill mistakes and not letting go, those three great martial artists led their subordinates to kill!

Strange things happened, I saw eighteen people swapping positions with each other, the footwork was weird, watching from a distance for a while, as if there were twice as many people, the confrontation began, the three great martial artists were okay, and the other martial artists were mostly attacking and emptying during the attack, and they couldn't attack the enemy at all.

The footwork of the eighteen people is getting more and more weird, and there has been a phantom, and it didn't take more than half an hour for all the three great martial artists' subordinates to be killed, and only three people are still struggling to support, depending on the situation, it is also the end of the crossbow.

The Sanpin Great Martial Master shouted: "Friends over there, don't you make a move?"

I saw that the people who were ambushed on the side also made a move, but the effect was not high, but there were not a few people left for a while.

The three of Ling Yi, who were observing from the mountain, couldn't see it at all, so if they encountered this group of enemies, they were not sure that they would be able to retreat, it seemed that the exploration team in front of them died at the hands of these people, but they used some method to cover up the traces of the fight.

The battle at the foot of the mountain stopped for a while, Ling Yi glanced at the two elder brothers, and the three of them touched the cliff from the other side one after another.

Recalling the situation just now, Ling Yi felt that his hair was erected, and his few people were definitely not the opponents of that group, after thinking for a while, Ling Yi said: "Judging from the current situation, what we guessed is correct, but we have no ability to stop it, let's go back and report today's situation to the Tang Pavilion Lord first, let him figure out his own way!"

Moving quietly, the three of them walked to the border of Jingzhou, specifically looking for a remote place to walk, and it took half an hour to finally reach the border line.

Discerning the direction, they were just about to return to the city, only to hear another noise in front of them, and the three of them quickly hid.

After a while, a pair of horses came this way, a total of ten horses, twenty people. The strength is all above the martial master, and there are two great martial artists.

Seeing the situation of this group of people, Ling Yi was sure that this was the smuggled and smuggled Shen Yin.

The caravan did not move quickly, but it was orderly and vigilant, and it was impossible for them to come forward to investigate.

Watching the horse gang go away, Ling Yi gave Sun Ze and Hao Jun a look, and the other two quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Ling Yi gradually touched the caravan, at a distance of ten zhang, suddenly killed, rushed to the caraside, the giant hammer waved, smashed to the ground, suddenly loud noises and vibrations startled all the horses, all of a sudden neighing sound, the horses stepped on the panicked footwork, restless, two horses have broken free.

"Who is it?" Two loud shouts came, Ling Yi knew that it was the great martial artist who made the move, and he didn't care about anything else, so he turned around and ran, and the great martial artist chased after him.

The two great martial artists chased out a few feet away, and there was a strange noise in the horse gang team, only to hear a loud noise, a big tree fell to the horses, and the horses that were finally pacified were frightened again, and they all scattered and fled.

The great martial artist who was chasing Ling Yi had no time to chase after him, so he reflexively went to chase the horses.

Ling Yi took the opportunity to flee away, and Sun Ze, who cut down the giant tree, also took advantage of the chaos to flee, but there was no trace of Hao Jun.

After running for three miles with all his might, Ling Yi stopped and hid in a tree to observe if there were any pursuers.

After observing for a while, I heard a sound of footsteps from the west, and when I looked around, it turned out that Hao Jun had chased after me.

I saw Hao Jun panting, and said to Ling Yi: "Ran away with me, what about the eldest brother?"

"I'm here!" I saw Sun Ze also catching up.

Ling Yi asked Hao Jun: "Second brother, did you succeed?"

Hao Jun straightened up his waist and said, "If I make a move, I can't say it!"

After speaking, Hao Jun took out half of the seal from the storage bag in his arms, which happened to have the seal of the royal mine on it.

"Yes, yes, so that we have enough evidence for the Tang Pavilion Master, you won't be found if you take this seal, right?" Sun Ze asked Hao Jun.

Hao Jun smiled confidently: "They won't find it, this is what I picked up from the horses that fell from the hook on the tree, and many of them have been scratched, I don't know if they are lost." ”

Ling Yi also said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you find it or not, after this time, there should be no more smuggling and smuggling of Shen Yin for a long time, it depends on whether the Tang Pavilion Master has the ability to find out who is behind the scenes!"

The three of them were afraid that there would be pursuers, so they fled with all their might, and within three hours they ran back to Lushan City.

For the first time, the three of them ran directly to the Wu Pavilion, and they only went downstairs to the Wu Pavilion, Tang Shiyu was already waiting for a few people downstairs, and without talking too much, Tang Shiyu directly led the three of them to the sixth floor.

Looking at the tired Lingyi and the three, Tang Shiyu gave each of them a cup of tea, and the three of them drank it in one gulp, and Tang Shiyu added another cup.

Tang Shiyu looked at a few people and asked, "Is the investigation clear?"

Sun Ze nodded and replied: "The investigation is clear, it is someone who smuggled and smuggled Shen Yin to the Baise Kingdom." ”

Next, Hao Jun handed over the seal and told him everything he had found.

Tang Shiyu frowned after hearing this, and asked, "Did you really see those eighteen people using martial arts with each other?"

Ling Yi nodded, his eyesight was the best among the three, he could see the most clearly, but he couldn't see the flaws, and replied to Tang Shiyu: "It is the martial art of eighteen people, but there is a cooperation in a single step, and although the attack martial arts are the same, it is not like one that can be fused." ”

Tang Shiyu pondered for a while and said: "According to what you say, these people must be the royal warriors of the Baise Kingdom, because the Baise royal family has a set of steps that cooperate with each other called the Traceless Footwork, and if they are well coordinated, they can make people hallucinate. ”

Ling Yi was not surprised after hearing this, he had just seen the strength of this kind of footwork, and it was indeed not to be underestimated.

Tang Shiyu threw Sun Ze a token and said, "This is a reward for you with 10,000 points and 5,000 taels of gold, you will exchange it yourself later, you will keep this task secret for the time being!"

Sun Ze took the token and promised with a beautiful guarantee: "Tang Pavilion Master, don't worry, we don't want to be killed, even if you say that the solution is over, we won't say it, there are still remnants of people, and we won't suffer?"

When Tang Shiyu heard the assurances of a few people, he didn't pay attention to a few people, and sent a few people back with a wave of his hand.

After resting in Lushan City for two more days, Ling Yi gathered members and prepared to return to Cloud City.

On the way back, Ling Yi didn't take the task, everyone walked so easily, and it was tiring and hot after a day of walking, Ah Hai complained there: "Brother, you will pass by the post station in a while, you can buy a few horses, I don't feel it when I followed the caravan a few days ago, and now it's too hot to walk alone, I'm about to suffer from heat stroke!"

Ling Yi looked at the sweaty crowd, and then remembered that the gang now doesn't even have a means of transportation, not to mention luxury carriages, it always has to ensure that each person has a horse.

So he said: "The next post station is not far from here, and when the time comes, each person will pick a horse, and Wu Hai will pay for it!"
