"General, the roads have been searched, but no suspicious people have been found. Cai Tian's subordinates Hong Shan returned.

Cai Tian frowned, he only had a one-sided relationship with Rong Que, and he was very vague about Rong Que's appearance, and at the same time, Rong Que could maintain extremely calm in front of him, which showed that this person was good at disguise.

"Arrest everyone first, and interrogate them one by one in detail. Cai Tian is worried that his subordinates will not be able to see through Rong Que's disguise, it is better to take it step by step, this is a matter of life and death for the entire Cai family, and it should not be sloppy.

"Yes. After Hong Shan received the order, he led his troops to arrest people.

Cai Tian rode a horse and walked in the avenue, carefully surveying the surrounding environment, there are too many trails on both sides of the avenue, and the roads are connected, if you want to enter the mountains and forests to search, you need a large number of people and horses, the problem is here, this is located in the jurisdiction of the Northwest Army, large-scale mobilization of troops and horses to search the mountains must alarm the Northwest Army, once the division road is traced, the trouble will be greater.

"You wretched, but you are clever, hiding in the mountain and forest paths, thinking that I can't help you?" The fierce face showed a murderous aura, and after a moment it relaxed again, as if a good solution had been found in his heart.

The gurgling stream water, the clear stream is tactful, the smell of the body is washed away several times in the cool water, and a clean clothes are changed, and then a pit is dug to put the clothes with blood stains on the sleeves in it, think for a moment, take out the refreshment and use the rock weed grass from the baggage, take out a trace and hide it in the soil pit, and finally fill the pit with loess, find hay in the nearby grass and spread it on the top, forming a "cover", covering people's ears and eyes.

After disposing of the bloody clothes, Rong Que quickly left, dragging the fergonia grass in his hand all the way, until the next location, it was a small hill, much higher than the surrounding terrain, standing on the hill, you can see farther, you can see the tops of many trees below, but because the jungle leaves are luxuriant, and the leaves have become an obstacle to the line of sight, it is not easy to see the lonely path hovering under the trees, it is already evening, although Rong Que is sleepy, but he does not dare to rest, and now he is still in danger, and he hurriedly disposes of the mariter grass and hurries on the road again.

There are too many dangers in the jungle at night, most of the insects, snakes, ants and beasts come out to forage, Rong Que wants to find a hiding place before the sky is completely dark, and the general cave is the most ideal, but this is really hard to find. After a hard search, and failed to find the cave, helpless to pick up dry grass and firewood on the spot to make a fire, the animals and insects in the jungle are extremely afraid of the bright bonfire at night, most of them dare not approach, but lighting a fire overnight will also bring greater danger to themselves, that is, in the dark jungle, the light of the fire is extremely easy to expose the whereabouts, if the other party takes advantage of the night into the mountain to search, it can be found several miles away.

After simply sorting out his thoughts, Rong Que found a place where the terrain was sunken, moved more than a dozen large and small stones around, piled up the simple stove with stones in the shape of an arch, and then covered the branches and green leaves on the top, which greatly covered the brightness of the bonfire at night.

Rong Que curled up vigilantly near the stove, one of the temperature plummeted at night, his clothes were thin, the night wind of the jungle was as cold as ice, burrowing into his clothes, bringing the coldness of the flesh, which could only be slowed down by getting close to the fire, and the second was that the dark jungle was full of black, and in the darkness there might be a footless insect spitting snake letters, and perhaps a wolf grinning with baring teeth, which made people's hearts palpitate and chill, and people had the nature to drive light, and naturally approached the warm and bright fire.

The night was safe, resting in the daze, recovering a little bit of spirit, the east is white, the sun is rising, looking at the extinguished bonfire, in vain a little trouble, when the other party finds here, will find the abandoned bonfire wreckage, you can roughly guess their own walking route, if they change the route again, I don't know what year and month to get to Tengyun City, for a while upset.

I had no choice but to simply cover up the traces of the fire with withered grass, but this must be of no avail, the other party is a person who is marching and fighting, how can he not even see through the simplest cover-up.

Continue to hurry, turn around and look back from time to time, walk for a long time, but never find anything strange behind him, the other party is like giving up the pursuit of himself, thinking about it very frightened, the heart of the cold wind, maybe the other party is not giving up, but he did not find that the other party has gradually approached him.

Fear of the unknown, never knowing where the other party will suddenly appear, this is the biggest psychological pressure.

Looking around blankly, the shadow of the bow and the snake, the grass and trees are all soldiers, it seems that there are people lurking in each corner, panicked for a while, hurriedly fled, desperately running in the jungle, like a prey targeted by an eagle, fleeing in fear, and feeling that his escape was futile and useless.

Running until exhausted, he sat on the ground against a branch, sweating profusely and panting.

"No, they definitely haven't come yet. "Trying to calm your emotions and start realizing that fear is the worst enemy.

"The jungle is huge, the trails are chaotic, and they definitely don't know my path so quickly. "Try your best to clear your mind, clear thinking can make the most correct plan, and you can live at most.

"But why didn't they make any movement, and they definitely didn't dare to let me go to Tengyun City with the token. "Thinking has entered a dead loop, and contradictory speculations have disguised the situation.

On top of the hills

Five ordinary men came here, between their eyebrows there was a murderous atmosphere, presumably a group of murderous people, led by Cai Tian's subordinate Hong Shan, they are the five brothers of the Hong family, in the early years in the rivers and lakes is a famous tracking and assassination gang, the traitors are innumerable, extremely vicious, heinous crimes, and then arrested by the official uniform, sentenced to the punishment of five horses and corpses, before the execution was rescued by Cai Tian, and then has been Cai Tian's head of the horse, for his life, do some unsightly "dirty work".

"Big brother, the fragrance of rock orchid here is very strong. The second Hongchuan twitched the tip of his nose a few times and said.

"Search around here to see if there are any clues. Hong Shan said.

The five of them dispersed, looking for clues.

Half an hour later

"There are traces of digging up here. It was the voice of the third child, and the rest of the people gathered when they heard it.

"Dig it up and see. Hong Shan said.

The third elder sword was inserted into the soil, and the newly covered soil was removed, and gradually, a dilapidated porcelain altar was revealed.

"Open it and take a look. Hong Shan said suspiciously, and then added, "Beware of hidden weapons or poisonous gas." ”

The third child was bold and directly opened the lid of the porcelain altar, and in an instant a pungent smell came to his nose, followed by earthy smoke.

"It's poison gas. The second man with the tip of his nose shouted loudly.

This shout startled the second child, and reflexively threw the porcelain altar away and quickly covered his mouth and nose, as did the other four.

Yellow smoke filled the air, surging out from the cracked porcelain altar, quickly dispersed with the wind, the pungent smell alarmed the surrounding animals, and the five people also slowly retreated, staring vigilantly at the motionless porcelain altar.

A moment later, it was Hong Shan who tentatively let go of the hand covering his mouth and nose, and found that although the yellow smoke had a pungent smell, it was not poisonous.

"It's realgar, put your hands down. Hong Shan carefully looked around the surrounding environment, chickens and dogs jumped, warblers jumped and flew, and the movement was really not small.

"What is that kid doing with a jar of this?" asked the third child puzzled.

"Second child, can you smell him?" Hong Shan frowned and asked the second child.

"Along the way, the smell of vetiver covered the smell of people, and even the smell of vetiver was cut off here, and now there is yellow smoke all around, and there is no smell of people. The second child shook his head helplessly.

Hong Shan frowned, all this is too abnormal, he always feels wrong in his heart, so he carefully recalls and sorts out what happened today, he led the five brothers of the Hong family into the jungle, and found a dirt pit on the side of a stream, the pit was covered with dry branches and dry grass, which was very well concealed, but he could not be deceived with many years of investigation experience, he dug the dirt pit, and there was a piece of clothing inside, and there was blood stains on the clothes, which was the clothes of the person he met on the avenue yesterday. There is a faint scent of rock orchid on the clothes, which covers the smell of the person, but it doesn't hurt, which means that the person being chased has the rock grass on his body, and it is easy to do it if there is a smell. The second child's nose is naturally sensitive, and he can trace it all the way according to the scent of vetiver, and then walked for half a day, and when he came here, there was what had just happened.

Looking around, the hills are raised, like a stage in the jungle, standing tall, even from a distance, you can see the general situation here, why the other party chose to bury an altar in such a place.

Endure the pungent smell of realgar, squat down and pour out all the things in the jar, there are several plants that have been burned but not burned out, as well as realgar stone, it should be that the air in the jar is insufficient, the fire is extinguished, so it is not burned out.

A flash of light flashed through his mind, and Hong Shan understood all this.

"We were exposed. Hong Shan stood on top of the hill and looked at the dense jungle below, he was sure that Rong Que was watching him from some corner in the distance.

※※※

"Poof... Poof...", the cacophony suddenly sounded from afar, and Rong Que looked up into the distance, and thick yellow smoke rose on the small hill.

"Huh... Ha... Ha. Turning sadness into joy, patting his chest with confidence, the speculation of falling into a dead end has an answer, "They came, but slower than expected." ”

Through the gap between the leaves, I carefully looked at the vicinity of the small hill, it was quiet and peaceful, only on the small hill were insects and beasts roaring in fright, and pigeons and birds flew away from their nests in panic.

If the other party searches the mountains on a large scale, it will definitely alarm the birds and beasts of the entire jungle, and the quiet and peaceful nature of most of the jungles shows that the other party did not take the next step of searching the mountains, and only sent a small number of people into the mountains. The abnormality on the hill shows that someone on the other side has found it and can find a porcelain altar that is extremely hidden, which also proves that the other party is not shallow in the way of entering the mountain, and has rich experience, it is very likely that he is an old hunter who is familiar with this jungle, and it may also be a person who specializes in tracking assassination, no matter which one may be extremely unfavorable to Rong Que, these two kinds of people have extremely outstanding tracking ability in the jungle, fast speed, and can always find the traces left by themselves from the clues, no one can really erase all their traces, Rong Que is no exception。

Rong Que first set his mind, although the situation is not optimistic, but at least he knows where the other party is now, the distance between the two parties is not short, and the other party will definitely lose his clues, which also buys himself a lot of time.

The other party had a master enter the mountain, and there was no magic plan for a while, so Rong Que started to go on the road again after resting for a quarter of an hour.

On top of the hills

"Big brother, what's exposed. The fifth child asked suspiciously.

"We underestimated him, it was all his trap. The fourth child, who has always been resourceful, also saw through Rong Que's plan.

"Hmm. Hong Shan nodded.

"What the hell is going on. The third child asked.

His clothes were stained with blood, and the smell was more obvious, so he chose to wash off the smell of blood on his body in the stream, and buried the bloody clothes, he was very thoughtful, considering whether someone would track him according to the residual smell on his clothes if he was discovered, so he put vetiver on his clothes, and covered his smell with vetiver, and then he wanted to make his smell disappear at the same time as the smell of vetiver, so he designed the bureau here. Hong Shan said.

"The location is to choose here is to kill two birds with one stone, he put the vetiver grass and realgar stone into the porcelain altar together, and bury the porcelain altar and hide it, ordinary passers-by can not find it, only people who come to him will deliberately search and find this porcelain altar, once the porcelain altar is opened, the smell of realgar is pungent and thick, will cover up all other smells, this is one of them. The fourth added.

"The second is that realgar can be used as medicine, but birds and animals are extremely sensitive to it, and the porcelain altar will alarm the surrounding things as soon as it is opened, and the terrain here is raised, even if he is far away, he can find the anomalies here, and our position will be exposed. Hong Shan's eyes closed slightly, he had never been tricked like this, and his heart burst out with evil thoughts, and he silently made up his mind to break Rong Que's corpse into ten thousand pieces.

"Big brother, what should I do. "The third child has extraordinary martial arts and is simple-minded, and he can't figure out the reason for this.

It doesn't matter, all this also shows that he is timid, and it also exposes his strength. "The wind in the mountains is light, and he is not without gains.

"What do you mean, can't the eldest brother be easy to understand?" said the third brother dissatisfiedly.

"If he succeeds lightly, he will gallop away, and distance himself from me, without much trouble doing this, which he just uses to buy time for himself. Hong Shan smiled faintly, he was the king of the jungle.

"Jumping clown, what other tricks do you have next?" Hong Shan looked into the distance with contempt.
