Chapter 319 - Return to Mo County
Mo Ti, who woke up, only remembered that he was repelled and stunned by the other party's move, and hurriedly looked up, only to see that the masked man was turning his back to him at the moment, and secretly said in his heart, this is a good opportunity, secretly lucked enough internal strength, and was about to get up, but was gently pressed by the outstretched hand on the side.
Looking sideways, I saw that Yun Gongzi had woken up at some point, and he was pressing himself at the moment, shaking his head gently, signaling himself not to act rashly, Mo Ti didn't want to give up this rare opportunity to shoot easily, and handed over the doubtful looks, but what he got was still Yun Gongzi's negative eyes, so he had to give up, and when he dispersed the true qi condensed in the dantian, he heard the masked man who turned his back to him open his mouth first.
Mo Ti only then understood why Yun Gongzi stopped himself from doing it, the masked man had already found that the two of them had woken up, and he made a rash move, in exchange for nothing more than being repelled by the other party again, thinking of this, he hurriedly handed Yun Gongzi a grateful look.
Qi Tao, who woke up, already knew in his heart that the masked man had no murderous intentions towards the two of them, he knew his identity, but he didn't know what he was going to do with himself, and now Qi Tao no longer wanted to get out, but wanted to go with these two people to find out what the masked man was going to do.
As he was hesitating to test his words again, the masked man, who turned his back to him, continued: "You heard what I said."
Qi Tao's eyes moved slightly, and after a while, he responded, "Not bad."
"I have used my internal strength to help you get rid of the wind and cold on your body, and as for this girl, she is a person who practices martial arts, so there is no big problem." After speaking, the masked man ignored the two people behind him and looked at each other, no longer speaking, just staring at the sunset, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qi Tao was about to continue to speak, but he saw that the masked man had raised his hand to stop, and looked back at the two of them.
After entering the forest, a pair of eagle eyes first looked at the brocade-clothed boy and the girl in brown and red armor sitting in the snow, and saw that the two of them were still as they were before leaving, with a look of vigilance, and the anxiety of rushing back all the way finally disappeared slightly.
No longer caring about these two people, He Ji immediately spoke: "Senior, I have prepared the things, the carriage is outside the forest, we can leave at any time."
Hearing this, the masked man withdrew his gaze from the setting sun and said lightly: "Okay, you look at these two people, I'll come when I go."
He Ji's eyes were neutral and alert: "Senior, this is..."
Seeing this, the masked man smiled coldly, his cuffs trembled slightly, and dozens of brown and red armor scales had fallen into the snow on the ground: "If there is someone who is good at tracking, he will definitely follow the footprints, not to mention, there are so many clues, I will clean up one or two."
Looking at the armor scales scattered on the ground, He Ji was shocked, and only then did he react, no wonder they were in a hurry last night, and these two people took the opportunity to stop from time to time... It was a deception, and once these armor fragments were discovered, their whereabouts would be exposed.
In a fit of rage, Eagle Eyes was fierce and immediately wanted to teach the two of them a lesson, but was stopped by the masked man: "Don't worry, I have left a misleading clue to lead them away... These two people, for you and me, are the talisman of the north of the wild goose, if there is a difference between the two of them..."
Awakened by the words of the masked man, He Ji was already seven or eight points wary of it at this time, and immediately said: "Thank you seniors, otherwise you will be kept in the dark by these two little beasts, and you will listen to your predecessors in the next matter of going out of Yanbei."
The masked man's eyes moved slightly, a subtle smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you are optimistic about these two people, and I will clean up the traces of the future tense."
——
Seeing that the sun had set, the three of them fell in the forest, temporarily stopping their figures, this day and night in a hurry, the young man still held on, but the internal injuries of the Jiang girl who accompanied him had not healed, although the cigarette bag and pot in front of him were still looking for marks in the snow, and his gradually sluggish figure could also be seen from his fatigue.
Seeing this situation, the young man secretly said in his heart, if he chased him like this, even if he caught up with Yun Gongzi and the others, if he encountered a tricky enemy, wouldn't it affect Miss Jiang and the others.
I was about to open my mouth to let the cigarette pouch pot in front of him wait for a while, but when I saw that the cigarette pouch pot in front of me had stopped its figure, he opened his mouth first: "Brother Mu wait a moment."
Hurriedly standing still, Gu Xiao frowned when he saw the cigarette pouch pot, and asked, "Brother Qixin, you."
What's going on?"
I saw the cigarette pouch pot shaking his head again and again, scanning around in the snow, and muttering, "Strange to say, the footprints that can be found before are as good as those that can be found now, it seems... In short, it's getting more and more wrong."
Gu Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Brother Qixin, what do you mean by this?"
The cigarette pouch pot was patient, pointed to a few shallow footprints in the snow, and asked the young man, "Brother Mu, look, is there any difference between these footprints and what we found before?"
Looking at the footprints in the snow, he squinted, looked left and right, and found nothing abnormal, frowning and replied, "The footprints of the three people are no different."
The cigarette pouch still shook his head, and replied to the young man, "Brother Mu doesn't know the tracking technique, so he can't see the difference, and it's normal... Didn't Brother Mu say before that the two people who were taken away were not masters, and they were just ordinary first glimpses, and they were not even the first glimpse of the martial arts realm, and the footprints found earlier also confirmed what Brother Mu said, but you look at it at this time..."
After the cigarette bag pot this point, the boy found the difference between the footprints in the snow and the previous ones, the footprints of the three people found before, different shades, this time to look again, although the number of footprints is worthy of the number of three people, but the depth of the footprints is the same, if it is not close to the careful observation, only blindly rely on light skills to pursue the hasty look, there is no difference at all.
Without thinking too much, he knew that this was deliberately done by someone, and the young man couldn't help but exclaim, "It's not good, we've been tricked."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly got up and guarded the surroundings, and after a while, he heard that there was only the winter wind in the forest, and there was no ambush, so he put his mind at ease, frowned and pondered, this deliberately left footprints to lead the three of them to pursue it here, could it be that He Ji found out.
Jiang Ningxue saw the young man's thoughtful appearance, and her mouth was still cold, but she was full of concern: "One person is short, and three people are long."
Gu Xiao frowned and nodded, expressing the doubts in his heart: "We have lost the traces of Yun Gongzi and the others, and since the other party wants to cover up his whereabouts, he will definitely not leave any more clues. It can be inferred from the roar of the lion and tiger beast that it is likely that He Ji, who kidnapped Yun Gongzi and the others, was He Ji, who escaped from the mountains behind He Jiabao, but why he wanted to kidnap Yun Gongzi and the others, I really can't figure it out, and what is even more incomprehensible is where he will go if he kidnaps the two of them."
The young man said the doubts in his heart, and the two of them also fell into deep thought, the cigarette pouch pot took out the cigarette stick on his waist and took two sips, he and Jiang Ningxue came all the way to find the young man, but Jiang Ningxue was cold, and the two did not talk much along the way, let alone know everything that happened in Hejiabao, and only learned about the changes in Hejiabao from the rumors in the rivers and lakes.
Exhaled the smoke and said tentatively, "Could it be that he has a grudge against that son?"
When Gu Xiao heard this, he shook his head slightly, He Ji and Yun Gongzi, one is in the rivers and lakes, the other lives in the temple, and two people who can't be beaten by eight poles, how can there be hatred.
Jiang Ningxue thought for a while and said, "I have never been able to figure it out, what is the way, at the cost of my own life, I want to take away the Lion Tiger Beast from the hands of the Wind Maiden, is it just because this strange beast is a legendary immortal mount, and the Burial Northern Immortal is just a legendary character after all, we have never seen it, and it is only from the mouth of the mist fairy that we know his legend."
The words of the two lingered in Gu Xiao's mind, and they were in a mess, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, tried his best to calm down, and sorted out the fragments of these clues in his mind, hoping to find clues from them and connect these things together.
After everything that happened in Hejiabao was in his mind several times, the lion and tiger beast, the people of the He family, and the legends of the immortals, he suddenly remembered that in the mountains behind Fengjiabao, after being stunned and woke up by the intersection of Tang Jiu and the half-step grandmaster's He Dao, He Kui, who was possessed by the remnant soul, had told him about the secret collusion between He Jiabao and the Golden Daomen.
Jindaomen first secretly manipulated Liuzhuang, let Liu Piaopiao fake his death to intercept General Wan, and then colluded with He Zhidao and his son to capture the lion and tiger beast, and then went to this Yanbei to pretend to be a ranger of Jin, robbed the people, attacked the patrol army, and even attacked General Yang, wanting to seize the defense map...
After all the connections, the young man suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "He Zhidao is dead, since He Jiabao and the Golden Daomen are secretly colluding, why doesn't He Ji go south, but take the lion and tiger beast to appear in the ten counties of Yanbei, whether it is to intercept and kill General Wan before, or to seize the defense map, only the ultimate beneficiary is the person who directs all this..."
muttered a few words, suddenly enlightened, He Ji looked north and fled
, The ten counties of Yanbei are already the northernmost part of Qiyun, and then to the north...
Thinking of this, the young man muttered to himself, "Yanbei City, Northern Jin Dynasty... All this makes sense, he wants to leave Yanbei City, Yun Gongzi is naturally the best candidate, with Yun Gongzi's 'Qincha talisman, he can send him out of Yanbei safely."
Looking at the footprints of the three of them in the snow, his starry eyes flickered and said, "Since he has captured Yun Gongzi and Miss Mo, he has no time to do this trick of seducing away again. He has accomplices!"
When Gu Xiao was sure that He Ji still had accomplices, he had no time to think about whether it was the two bandit leaders of the Golden Daomen or the masked man who wanted to take Yun Gongzi's life, but with only the light skills of the three of them, it was almost impossible to chase him to Yanbei.
The mountain road in Yanbei is difficult to travel, and the three of them are not familiar with the terrain of Yanbei, so it is better to return to Mojun, thinking that Brother Yan has already transferred the patrol army to, with his help, prepare horses and dry food, and then rush to Yanbei, it is the best way to save people.
Since He Ji wanted to use Yun Gongzi as a hostage, he naturally would not hurt Yun Gongzi's life, and besides, the people in the mountains and General Yang were still waiting for him, and with the patrol army entering Mo County, he would be able to protect them thoroughly.
Turning around, he deduced his aptitude and calculated in his heart, saying that with Jiang Ningxue and the cigarette bag pot, the two of them also felt that it was so good, the time was urgent, and the three of them agreed on a moment, and then they used light skills to reflexively go to Mojun.
——
More than 4,000 patrol guards, finally at dusk, entered Mo County, looking at the Mo County in front of him like a dead city, Gao Deng's eyes revealed a trace of unbearable, but when he thought of the secret letter, he sighed slightly, and then ordered: "Pass my generals, after entering the city, leave a thousand horsemen to garrison to make food, and the rest of the departments will go up the mountain to find people."
"Order!" All the generals received the order, each led the army and horses of the headquarters, lit torches, and went away according to the order.
Looking at Xu An, who was pale on his side, knowing that this upright man endured the pain and followed and insisted all the way, he ordered the soldiers to go to the county guard department to clean up, and led more than 100 horsemen into the division to rest.
After entering the department, it was reported that the military medical officer would treat the soldiers and Xu An who had fought with the dead soldiers of the Golden Daomen before, until everyone was well treated, and the medical officer was clear that there was no major problem, so he sent everyone back, leaving only more than ten cronies to guard the hall.
After taking the medicine, Xu An's face turned slightly, and he looked at General Gao, who was grinning in pain as the medical officer dismantled and bandaged his shoulder, and finally couldn't help but want to ask, but he hesitated when the words came to his mouth.
"What's the matter, Lao Xu, mother-in-law and mother are not your character, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." Gordon endured the pain in his shoulder, looked at Xu An under the hall, and saw that he didn't vomit and was unhappy, so he couldn't help but ask.
