Chapter Seventy-Three: Why Didn't the Alliance Leader Make a Move?
"Miss Qin, what is a mirage?" While looking around for someone, Meng Tang asked Qin Ganglie, "Do these mirages also make people hallucinate like the miasma common in the mountains and forests?"
Bai Yu was surprised: "What did the sect master say? Hallucinations?"
"No, no," Qin Ganglie hurriedly said, "Legend has it that there is a water dragon named 'Mirage' in the East China Sea, which is good at swallowing clouds and mist to make people disorient, but no one has ever seen a real water dragon, but there is a kind of long insect in southern Xinjiang that will spit and turn into mist in the morning. Because it is like the legendary mirage, the world often calls this mist mirage, and the mirage disappears at sunrise, and it can also disappear when it encounters wormwood."
As she spoke, the fog in the vicinity had been dispersed by her with mugwort leaves, and the surrounding mountains, rocks and trees could be seen clearly.
"The worm you're talking about, is this the thing?"
The sword in Meng Tang's hand pointed at the corpse of a man in black, and a bulge under the man's black clothes was still trembling slightly.
Until a triangular snake head was revealed, the sword flashed, and several long snakes with black bodies were knocked out by the sword qi and crashed into the tree.
"yes, that's it!"
As soon as Qin Ganglie's words fell, he saw that Sect Master Meng was raising his sword again, and the black snakes hidden under the surrounding grass and trees had also been cut off by him.
Looking at those black snakes whose bodies were broken into several pieces but still writhing and trembling, the face of the Rank Moon Sect Master turned pale.
He quickly turned and walked in the other direction: "It's important to find someone!"
He followed the body of the man in black on the ground all the way back to the broken carriage, but still found nothing.
Bai Yu was a little anxious, and shouted everywhere: "Alliance leader! Where are you, Alliance Master?"
But no matter how he called people, the only thing that responded to him was the silence of the emptiness around him.
"The Wind Songyue is also gone," Qin Ganglie said, "Sect Master, they won't encounter any danger, right?"
"No, these men in black are no match for them."
"Then how can Sect Master Meng ensure that there are no martial arts masters among these people?" Bai Yu said again: "You shouldn't be separated from the alliance leader, how can you put him in danger alone!"
"Am I putting him in danger?" Meng Tang squinted his eyes slightly at him, as if asking: "The dignified martial arts alliance leader, known as the number one in the world, doesn't he even have the ability to protect himself like this?"
"Of course the Alliance Leader can protect himself! But have you forgotten your son? If only the alliance leader can get out, but what if there is a burden around him?"
Bai Yu was angry, he couldn't find the alliance leader at the moment, he Meng Linxiao still said cool words, he couldn't wait to take a sip of this Meng sect master.
Meng Tang gave him a cold look, and then looked into the depths of the woods.
There was a rustling sound in the forest, and two white-clothed figures rushed out, it was Yin Feng and Song Yue.
The two of them were overjoyed: "Sect Master!"
"Have you seen my family leader?" Bai Yu hurriedly greeted him, and couldn't wait to say, "And the young master of your family!"
The two of them were shocked when they heard this: "The Lord of the Shen Alliance and the Young Master are gone?"
Meng Tang nodded: "What did you two find in the forest?"
Yin Feng shook his head: "We chased the black-clothed man with the iron rope straight into the fog, and we had already dispersed, and we didn't meet again until the fog dissipated, but we didn't see the Shen Alliance Lord and the Young Master either."
Song Yue was a little worried: "Sect Master, aren't these people coming for the Young Master just like in Fenghou City?"
"Their skills and kung fu are not the same," Meng Tang said, and used his sword to cut through the cloth towel covering one of them, "Look, it seems to be from the Western Regions."
Under the cloth towel was a face that somewhat resembled a Hu man, and Yin Feng Songyue also hurried to check on the others, and actually found a few Hu Ren faces.
Not only that, but these people also have strange patterns tattooed on their arms, which look like people and Buddhas, which is very weird.
"Great Mercy Palace?" Bai Yu was surprised: "These people are from the Great Compassion Palace? Do they know that the alliance is going to crusade against the Demon Palace and wants to intercept and kill the alliance leader halfway?"
"Obviously not," Meng Tang said coldly, "How can they not know who they are going to face, just ask this Jianghu, who
Can a person be Shen Yulong's opponent?"
Bai Yu can't wait to stomp his feet now, the number one in the world is Shen Yulong, what does it have to do with her Shen Yuning!
If it was because Meng Tang misunderstood that the alliance leader's martial arts were too high and delayed the opportunity to save people, then it would be too late to say anything.
"Sect Master Meng......
"If I'm not mistaken, they should have only come to capture Shen Yulong, not to kill him." Sect Master Meng kicked the iron rope on the ground on his toes, and then looked sideways at Bai Yu: "Since they have already obtained the 'Legacy of the First Emperor', why do they still want to arrest the Lord of the Shen League? Could it be that they can't understand this "Last Emperor's Testament" either?"
Bai Yu was stunned by his questioning gaze, and hurriedly avoided the eyes that were as heavy as ink: "How do I know! Right now, I just want to know where the Alliance Leader has gone!"
With that, he ran two more steps and looked around.
Meng Tang looked at Bai Yu's figure and fell into deep thought, obviously he was a few killers who did not enter the stream, and he was not Shen Yulong's opponent at all, could he be in such a hurry?
"Sect Master," Yin Feng glanced at Bai Yu and said in a low voice, "Could it be that Shen Yulong took away the young master......
"How is that possible!" Without waiting for Meng Tang to answer Qin Ganglie, he said, "If Brother Shen wants to take away the young master, there are many opportunities along the way! On the contrary, I now have some doubts about whether Brother Shen is in some trouble, when we were ambushed just now, although Brother Shen is holding the young master, he is not without a chance to make a move, if he makes a move, who are these opponents?"
After speaking, he looked at Meng Linxiao a little unnaturally: "Sect Master, why do you keep looking at me?"
The latter shook his head: "I'm thinking, although Miss Qin is not very smart, she is meticulous in looking at people."
Qin Ganglie's face flushed, and he smiled implicitly, "Thank you for the praise of the sect master."
Yin Feng and Song Yue looked at each other silently: Is this really a compliment?
"Let's find someone first," Meng Tang said, "Don't let go of any details!"
"Yes!"
Several people scattered, looking for people along the imprints around the carriage, and now the sun was bright, and the forest was completely devoid of fog, and they could see everything clearly, but they didn't see Shen Yulong and Meng Chen'an.
Bai Yu was anxious and worried, and shouted loudly with his hands around his mouth but did not get a response, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Sect Master! There are so many footprints here!" Qin Ganglie shouted on a small road: "Come here!"
When everyone arrived, they saw that the forest path was covered with dozens of sets of footprints due to the rain and soft soil two days ago.
Meng Tang only felt that the green tendons on his forehead jumped slightly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Sect Master, look, the little woman not only looks at people in detail, but also looks at everything very carefully!" Qin Ganglie smiled and said, "If you want to find anything in the future, just leave it to the little girl, and you will definitely be able to find it!"
Meng Tang didn't respond to her, but said to his subordinates, "Keep looking for it along the footprints!"
"Yes!" The wind and the moon echoed the sound and followed the footprints straight to the mountains and forests.
Bai Yu was about to follow, but his shoulder was held down by Meng Linxiao, and he wanted to break free, but his palm was as heavy as iron and stone.
"Sect Master Meng?" Bai Yu gritted his teeth and looked at him, squeezing out a dry smile: "You, what are you doing?"
"I should ask you this."
"Me? Of course, I want to find the Alliance Leader as soon as possible! Isn't the sect master worried about his son at all?"
"I'm worried about my son because of him, but you're worried that Lord Shen will be a little too late, right?"
"What the sect master said, if you and Xiao Baozi are lost at this moment, won't you be worried about Yin Feng Songyue? Don't say that the wind is singing to the moon, I'm afraid Miss Qin will worry about you if you can't eat or sleep, isn't it, Miss Qin?"
After saying that, he smiled at Qin Ganglie, and Qin Ganglie nodded shyly: "Yes...... Indeed......
"What's wrong with Shen Yulong?" Meng Tang no longer circled with him, and asked directly, "Fang just encountered danger in the fog, why didn't he make a move?"
"Why did the Alliance Leader make a move?" Bai Yu was surprised and asked, "No one knows who those black-clothed people are coming for, if they are coming for you, Sect Master Meng, if they are among these people
And your uncle and brother, if the alliance leader accidentally injures someone again, what if that?"
"Sophistry!"
"Why should I quibble!" Bai Yu was angry and wanted to break free again, but I don't know what was going on with his kung fu, so he couldn't break free for half a point.
Meng Tang still looked at him, as if waiting for him to explain, but Bai Yu sank his face, and his eyes revealed a little helplessness: "Sect Master Meng, if you don't let go......
"Sect Master!" Yin Feng and Song Yue returned from the same way: "Sect Master, we just met a woodcutter and learned that there is a gang of bandits in this mountain! On weekdays, they often block the road and rob them, and the past merchants are also miserable. He also said that this gang of thieves did not even let go of those old and weak women and children, and if they saw the children, they would be taken directly into the cottage to become little thieves!"
"Poof!" Qin Ganglie couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "What do you mean? You won't want to say that Brother Shen and the young master were kidnapped by that gang of bandits, right? Don't be funny, even if Brother Shen won't make a move easily, he is also the leader of the martial arts alliance! How can they be taken captive by a gang of bandits, what a joke!"
After that, she covered her mouth and smiled very reservedly, until there was silence around her, and she realized a little hindsight at the serious gaze of everyone above.
"No, it's not...... Brother Shen, was he really taken away by the bandits?"
Bai Yu took advantage of Meng Tang's unpreparedness and quickly escaped from him, grabbed Yin Feng and said, "Quick! Where's the bandits? Take me there!"
Yin Feng was a little uncertain: "I didn't say that Lord Shen was ...... by the bandits."
"Whether it's true or not, this is also a clue, Sect Master Meng, don't you say?"
Bai Yu looked at Meng Tang eagerly, and when he saw that his face was cold and he didn't say a word, he was even more anxious: "Sect Master Meng! I don't believe that your son is not in a hurry at all if he loses you! Although it was lost with my family's alliance leader, you believe me, if the alliance leader encounters any trouble, your son will not be able to get better!"
"Where's the bandit?" Meng Tang asked coldly, "Are these footprints really from that group of bandits?"
"My subordinates are not sure," Yin Feng said, "But the woodcutter also said that because of that gang of bandits who often committed unrighteous things, the Shaoyang faction encircled and suppressed them many times, and their hiding places were also changed and changed, and now no one knows where they are in the stockade."
Bai Yu stomped his feet angrily: "Alliance leader, alliance leader! My subordinates have already told you that this is dangerous! Dangerous! Very dangerous! Who would have thought that you would encounter few opponents on the rivers and lakes, and you would end up being captured by a gang of bandits!"
Meng Tang frowned at him impatiently, "How can you be so sure that your clan leader was kidnapped by bandits?"
Bai Yu's heart was weak: "I...... I guess, the alliance leader can't think this gang of bandits is cute and want to visit their village, right?"
After saying that, he himself was silent first, this kind of thing, the alliance leader really did it......
