Chapter 1086: Ambush
The day after Dan Xuan and the Fire Jiao King left the procession, on a narrow path, the Fire Jiao King looked at the somewhat rugged mountain road ahead, and wondered, "Childe, are we going wrong, Miss Fluttershy, they must not have taken this road, you don't even have a horse mark on the road that has just rained!"
Dan Xuan grabbed the reins, looked at the map in his hand silently for a long time, and slowly shook his head and said: "There are indeed two roads marked on the map, although this path is rugged, but it is a short road, it is estimated that Captain Meng and they led the team to take the main road, not here!"
The Fire Jiao King nodded suddenly, and just wanted to speak, but suddenly found that there was something wrong with Dan Xuan's expression, as if he sensed something. The Fire Jiao King was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Childe, is there something wrong?"
Dan Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop his words, his eyes narrowed, as if he was listening to some subtle sound, and after a while, Dan Xuan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "There is a large group of people approaching here, and there are Sage masters in the team!"
"Sage, are you here to arrest the two of us? The Holy Tower knows about our escape from the Fire Cave?" At the mention of the Holy Tower, the Fire Jiao King was inevitably a little nervous.
Dan Xuan pondered for a moment, slowly shook his head and said, "Not necessarily! It may be for other purposes, let the horses go first, let's find a place to hide!"
With the thinking of the Fire Jiao King, he naturally couldn't think of what the other purpose Dan Xuan said was, but according to Dan Xuan's instructions, he turned over and dismounted, and then slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and the horse galloped forward.
Dan Xuan and the Fire Jiao King quickly hid on a high hillside, and one man and one beast completely lost their breath, quietly waiting for the arrival of the large group of people.
About a quarter of an hour later, a team of fast riders approached quickly, led by an old man with white beard and green eyes, who had the feeling of a Dao bone fairy wind.
At the front of the line, the old man suddenly raised his hand to stop the rapid progress of the team, and the team stopped.
Beside the white-bearded old man, a middle-aged man who looked to be over forty years old cautiously glanced at the silent white-bearded old man, and asked aloud, "Deputy Sect Master, is there any problem?"
The old man known as the sect master looked down at the horse marks left by Dan Xuan and King Jiao below, but there was some confusion in his eyes.
Seeing that the old man didn't answer, the middle-aged man followed his gaze and also looked at the horse's hoof marks on the road ahead that were originally neat but suddenly became messy, thought for a moment, and said, "Deputy Sect Master, do you think that these two people who have been walking in front of us are scout informants of the Bronze Alliance?"
This time, the old man known as the sect master nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This horse's hooves are obviously a little chaotic here, these two people seem to have sped up their speed, Ben Sheng is wondering, have these two people already discovered our followers behind, and ran to report to the people of the Bronze Alliance!"
However, when the middle-aged man heard this, he shook his head nonchalantly and said, "Deputy Sect Master, you must have been too worried! In the team of the Bronze Alliance, the person who reported to us was surnamed Ao! If anything happened, he would definitely notify us, since there was no news now, it meant that everything was in the plan!" As long as we travel along this path, the speed should not be too fast, keep up with their speed in the Qufeng Valley, they will definitely flee to the Qufeng Valley, when the time comes, the two sides will attack, with our strength, even if we can't wipe them all out, it doesn't hurt to leave a half alive, as long as we intercept the things they transported this time, we will be considered to have completed the task!"
The white-bearded old man nodded approvingly, looked around, and suddenly stared at a hillside in the distance, his eyes narrowing suddenly.
The middle-aged man saw that something seemed wrong with the white-bearded old man, so he asked again, "Deputy Sect Master, is there something wrong?"
Hiding behind the hillside, under the old man's gaze, Dan Xuan and the Fire Jiao King's hearts jumped, and they were a little unsure whether this old guy had really discovered their traces, so they couldn't help but collect their breath deeper.
Only then did the white-bearded old man retract his gaze, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he shook his head and said: "It's okay, it may be that I have been a little suspicious recently, and the people who can hide under the old man's nose and not escape any breath, except for the sect master, his old man, is also a few seniors in the Holy Tower! The old man has been a little suspicious along the way!"
The middle-aged man smiled flatteringly when he heard this, and patted his horse and said: "Look at what you always said, you are the deputy sect master of my Qingzong Hall, and your strength is close to the blue sky, this kind of strength, how holy can you not escape the slightest breath under your old nose, I'm afraid even the sect master and his old man can't do it, Fei Lao, you are really careful!"
When the words fell, the middle-aged man laughed twice.
The middle-aged man's sycophant made this famous Deputy Sect Master Fei in the dignified Black Domain extremely useful, and he felt comfortable, and he also laughed wildly when he looked at the middle-aged man.
Continue to march until the team has walked far away, and on the hillside, Dan Xuan and the Fire Jiao King dare to show their figures. The Fire Jiao King looked at the distant direction of the rugged path and said in a humble voice: "Childe, it turns out that these people are people who are preparing to deal with the Bronze Alliance, let's follow, won't we be able to find the people of the Bronze Alliance?"
Dan Xuan had a black line on his face, in fact, what the Fire Jiao King said was not wrong, but if Dan Xuan expected it to be good, the people of the so-called Bronze Alliance that these people were going to deal with should be the hundred-person team led by Meng Han!
Dan Xuan knew in his heart that Meng Han's group was definitely not a simple businessman, and it was obviously unreasonable to have a sage master in that caravan, but what Dan Xuan didn't know was that the people of the Bronze Alliance were secretly transporting something hidden. Also, since the operation is so secretive, why is his whereabouts exposed, there must be a betrayer in the team, but who this betrayer is, Dan Xuan can't say clearly.
"Childe, what should we do now?" asked the Fire Jiao King.
Dan Xuan carefully checked the map in his hand, calculated the route, and coupled with the sporadic information revealed in the conversation between the middle-aged man and the white-bearded old man, Dan Xuan had roughly guessed the other party's plan.
After thinking about it, Dan Xuan already had a strategy in his heart, since these people were from the Black Domain Qingzong, then Dan Xuan categorically couldn't show his true face, how to save the people of the Bronze Alliance without revealing his identity was indeed a question worth thinking about.
On the vast continent, in the ranks of people who were completely unaware of the danger, everyone was still talking and laughing relaxedly.
The only person in the team who is in a bad mood is Fluttershy, who rides a white horse and follows listlessly.
