Niu Mang Mountain is the only mountain in Yunzhan Province with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters.

At the same time, it is also the northern boundary of Yunzhan Mansion, and after passing Niu Mang Mountain, it can be regarded as walking out of Yunzhan Mansion.

What Xiao Qin and the others would not have thought of was that in just two or three days, Huang Kang took the first step and had already come to the vicinity of Niu Mang Mountain.

At this moment, Huang Kang's heart was extremely entangled, he had almost traveled to the entire Yunzhan Mansion in the past few days, but he had never been able to find the traces of the old Feng Tou and his wife.

Even the clues have not been found, and the old Feng Tou couple seems to have suddenly evaporated from the world, and they can't be found.

Huang Kang couldn't understand that the old Feng Tou couple were obviously two ordinary people in terms of cultivation, how could ordinary people run faster than him.

Looking at the vast Niu Mang Mountain in front of him, Huang Kang felt extremely depressed.

This time, it was not enough for everyone to dissuade him, so he made up his mind that he would tie the murderer to Xiao Qin no matter what.

Otherwise, he will lose face as a third-grade grandmaster, and the most important thing is that he can't live with Xiao Qin.

What others don't know is that Xiao Qin once asked him privately about how to treat Lao Feng Tou and his wife, and the implication was to let Huang Kang help him take a closer look at whether there was a problem with the two.

Xiao Qin had obviously pointed it out, but he only glanced at it a few times, and then patted his chest and made a guarantee.

It was this guarantee that killed Xiao Chai.

If, if he could have taken Xiao Qin's reminder to heart, he could have quickly rushed to other post stations with his own skills, or found the local county and inquired about the situation of the Baihe Duan Post Station.

All you need to do is run more and open your mouth more to avoid tragedy.

Can......

If Xiao Qin hadn't reminded him at the beginning, Huang Kang wouldn't have felt so guilty after the matter had come to this point.

From beginning to end, it was his own wrong judgment that misled Xiao Qin's decision-making, causing Xiao Qin to lose a close person again.

If that night, Lao Fengtou's target was not Xiao Chai, but Xiao Qin......

Huang Kang didn't dare to think deeply.

If Xiao Qin died, it would become a big joke for him to live.

If the opponent he encounters is Qian Youkun, a desperate village like Liu Xiu, he can't hold Xiao Qin desperately, Huang Kang also asked himself to do his best, and he had a clear conscience.

But the opponent I met this time was just an old couple who had no cultivation and could easily be solved by any adult male.

If Xiao Qin dies in this kind of hands, what is Huang Kang doing while he is still alive, he will be able to kill himself directly.

Moreover, Emperor Qin explained to him very clearly at the beginning, if the situation is irreparable, Xiao Qin and him must choose one of the two, then Xiao Qin will live and Huang Kang will die.

Dying for Xiao Qin was also a loyal to Emperor Qin.

Huang Kang made a poisonous oath for this, and would rather die than live up to the emperor's grace, if Xiao Qin loses, he Huang Kang will be reincarnated as a pig and sheep in the next life, and will be slaughtered by others.

Fortunately, it was really fortunate that it was only the servants around Xiao Qin who died, not Xiao Qin himself.

But even so, after Huang Kang knew about it, he had no shame to accept the emperor's favor.

Even if Xiao Qin, who can be guaranteed in the future, is safe and the final task is successfully completed, one day, he will go to Emperor Qin to explain all this, and accept the death penalty himself.

Because Xiao Qin is still alive, it is not that he is protected by Huang Kang, but that Xiao Qin is lucky.

At first, during the fire at the post station, and later during the plague in Cuo County, in the face of the host Taoist people and Zhu Si in the same realm, Huang Kang never really worried about Xiao Qin's life and death.

He is confident that even if the situation is extremely bad, he will be willing to cut his body, and he will definitely be able to protect Qin Zhouquan.

Along the way so far, only this time really scared Huang Kang, every time he thinks of the scene that may have happened that night, the chill is bone-chilling, as if he is in an endless ice cave.

found the old Feng Tou and his wife, and captured them alive with his own hands and threw them in front of Xiao Qin.

This is the only thing Huang Kang can think of, which is not only to restore the last dignity of the dignified third-grade grandmaster, but also to face Xiao Qin in the future.

However, it has been three days since the incident, and the old Feng Tou couple has not seen anyone alive or dead, as if the world has evaporated.

Huang Kang really didn't know what to do.

He didn't even have the courage to return to the team, let alone what kind of expression he should make when Xiao Qin asked.

It's so painful......

Huang Kang's exhaustion, in fact, in the eyes of today's Xiao Qin, is not worth mentioning at all.

Revenge must be avenged, but it is clearly not the immediate priority.

Xiao Qin knew very well that even if Huang Kang chased him out, he would definitely return in vain in the end.

The reason is very simple, the other party has set such a perfect trap, how can he not prepare in advance when retreating?

The old Feng Tou couple knew Xiao Chai's true identity, but how could they not know Huang Kang's identity?

It must have been the time of the plan, and Huang Kang of the Third Rank Grandmaster had already been fully calculated, including the fact that Huang Kang might pursue the two of them afterwards.

Moreover, Lao Feng Tou and Xiao Qin said very clearly that day, he was collecting money from people to eliminate disasters for others, which fully proved that there was someone behind Lao Feng Tou and his wife, and that person was the mastermind behind the overall plan.

And the old Feng Tou couple is just one of the chess pieces.

The two of them may not have cultivated, but that doesn't mean that there are no masters to take them over.

Maybe they had been quietly taken out of the territory of Yunzhan Mansion that night.

The world is so big, trying to find its traces is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The reason why he didn't stop Huang Kang from chasing him out was because Xiao Qin understood Huang Kang and could fully understand his mood at that time.

Even if Huang Kang chases him out and will only return in vain, he should still be fulfilled and let him do something for this.

Between men, especially between true brothers, it is possible to empathize with each other often.

Put yourself in the other person's position and perspective, consider the problem, and understand his hardships and difficulties.

You don't have to explain too much, support him silently, the good things are the icing on the cake, and the bad things are always at the bottom.

A thousand words, nothing more than one sentence - buddy, you just go forward boldly, don't look back.

Xiao Qin was not worried at all that Huang Kang would choose not to return to the team because he couldn't figure it out or couldn't face it.

It's impossible.

If he thinks clearly, if he doesn't understand, he has to come back.

And it won't be long.

The weather is getting colder and colder, especially in inland plain cities like Yunzhan Prefecture, where strong winds always come very suddenly and strangely.

Looking around, I couldn't find where the wind was coming from.

I just feel that the sky is full of whistling wind.

Due to this strange gust of wind, the team had to temporarily change direction and take shelter in a nearby village.
