Under the arrangement of King Mihuan, Qi Lang and Ao Wu withdrew from a dark passage at the side gate of the palace before dawn. As King Mihuan said, he has not completely lost control of the situation, and he has a number of loyal right-hand men by his side, and as long as his health allows, with his strategy, it is very likely that things will continue to develop in the direction of the Mingyu Kingdom.

However, Qi Lang's situation is the opposite. He was caught in a complicated situation, and almost every one of his previous assumptions was ruthlessly overturned—the truth about the death of the dustless old man, the open and secret battle between the Mingyu Kingdom and the Dongyi tribe, and an unpredictable battle of masters...... He was glad that he did not accept King Mihuan's invitation at that time, but kept the right to choose. Leaving room means that he is likely to emerge from the chaos rather than sink deeper into a potential crisis.

Perhaps, staying out of the matter is the best choice, because this is a mess that Qi Lang can't deal with! There is no way for him to sort out any thread from it, let alone dismantle the various forces that are entangled in it. Qi Lang began to feel that he really shouldn't have left Jira in the base on this westward trip, if that smart red-haired boy was present, at least he could find a reliable staff officer to analyze the overall situation, instead of being like now, all the analysis, all the decisions, had to rely on himself to support it.

Qi Lang must admit that he was a little overwhelmed.

However, the trouble had not yet reached its peak, and when Qi Lang and Ao Wu quietly returned to the Huifu Tavern around nine o'clock in the morning to meet Mr. Fang Chuan again, a new trouble arose.

Gulf is missing!

After a long day of restless waiting, the pockmarked face finally couldn't bear it anymore. After some disguise, he ran out early in the morning, it is said that he went to the palace to inquire about the news, to see if there are any corpses that need to be claimed, in his opinion, the situation on Qi Lang's side is not optimistic, just those thousands of meters of rock climbing action is enough to play fatal, scared that the two brothers with weak legs If they encounter any more guard masters, it is estimated that they will be cut off in two moves.

As a result, more than three hours passed, and the two corpses were already sitting in the guest room, while the corpse collector had not heard from him. Just as the ominous premonition was gradually pulling up the hearts of Qi Lang and Owu, Shukin flew back. She didn't bring back any note, it was just a message, which Leo translated to Owu, who then relayed the simple message to Qi Lang: Gulf has made a major discovery!

Qi Lang and Ao Wu hurriedly greeted Boss Fang Chuan, followed Xiujin, and set off immediately.

Bypassing the bustling streets and alleys, skillfully avoiding the guards of the city gates, the two of them walked out of Yunyang City and walked all the way north for about ten miles, probably because the road signs reserved by Gulf were not clear, and Schuekin repeatedly circled the path next to the birch forest, and finally determined that her fateful companion was hiding in the forest. During this short journey, they walked for most of the day, and seeing that the sky had already darkened, Qi Lang now only hoped that it was not too late.

Sure enough, about two or three kilometers deep in the forest, an extremely hidden forest path was placed in front of me. There were some fresh horseshoe prints on the soft mud ground, and there were many of them, and perhaps there was an army hiding here. This time Gulf finally didn't say anything big, which can be called a major discovery, after all, this is located in the rear, it should be a blind spot for the Ranger defense, when the Tiger Cavalry launches a feint attack in the south of the city, this army will directly threaten the safety of Yunyang City - this is a nail that must be pulled out in advance!

Just a short distance ahead, a spire-like wooden building looms out among the thick treetops. It can be seen that the invading enemy still put a lot of thought into building this base, after all, it is difficult to carve out a large area of flat land due to the thick trees here, and in this case, it is also a simple and reasonable way to exchange the living space for the sky. The minaret covers an area of about 400 square meters, with a height of more than 10 meters, which is exactly the same as the top of the tall birch tree, standing on the top of the lookout, you can not only observe the surrounding situation, but also be difficult to be detected by the enemy in the distance.

Shukin flew silently, straight to the birch tree on the east side of the minaret, and then Gurf's strangely painted face peeked out of the foliage. He had a hairscarf on his head, his face should have been coated with a layer of yellow wax, and the sides of his nose should have been glued with pigskin or something, and if you didn't look closely, he could barely be called an ugly Oriental. The disguise was supposed to have been learned from Joanna, and it had almost zero effect other than to bolster the pretender.

"Come up. Gulf said silently with an exaggerated mouth.

Three seconds later, Qi Lang and Ou Wu were already in the canopy. "What did you find?" Qi Lang asked in a low voice, "You really dare to stand on such a high branch." ”

"It's already the limit. Gulf squeezed his eyes, and the camouflage on the wing of his nose was almost squeezed off by him, "But that can only be blamed on my bad luck, who let that ghostly guy let me bump into me, and I am a very responsible person, I will never let him go." ”

Qi Lang smiled, agreeing with the boast of the good brother: "How many people are there? Are there many masters? Is it possible for the three of us to clean up this place at once?"

"I've been staring at it for a long time, and there are five of them. According to my guess, those four retinues are warriors at the level of martial artists, and the leaders should be slightly more powerful, but they are just high-level martial artists. Gulf rolled his eyes, "If you plan to start, I'll suffer a loss, the four dishes, you and Ou Wu will deal with two, and I'll take the lead." ”

Owu snorted next to him, "That's a woman, right?"

"Yes, what can I do?" Gulf snorted, "I'm always better than you against women, Wooden Head!"

"Don't make a noise just yet. Qi Lang hurriedly stopped the dispute, lowered his voice and said, "I think you must have noticed that this three-story tower is enough to hold two or three hundred soldiers, and if they only come with five people, they must not be carrying out any military operations, so there is no need for us to kill them, it is better to disclose the information about this stronghold, and let Yunyang City pay enough attention." And now that these people are here, there must be some kind of conspiracy brewing, and if we can find out, it will be more meaningful. ”

"I agree. Gulf preemptively agreed with Owu, as if that would also show his superiority in intelligence, "I have never liked to attack women, especially if they are beautiful. ”

"Really?" Qi Lang followed Gulf's finger and looked over. Gulf chose the right position to observe the house directly south of the top floor, and the one standing inside, who could only see the back for the time being, was a tall woman with blonde hair and a shawl.

It was already dark, but the kerosene lamps in the house were quite bright, and the eaves at the top of the spire were large enough to prevent the light from spreading into the distance, so she didn't care about lighting a few more lights, which would have the effect of driving away wild beasts on the one hand, and making the big house warmer on all sides.

At this moment, an attendant had been standing respectfully in front of the woman, as if reporting something. But it's a little farther away and you can't hear it clearly. Qi Lang saw that there was no one to defend him, so he quietly climbed forward five or six meters along the branch next to him, and finally, the conversation of the barbarian ghost came intermittently.

“...... This plan is good...... If that's the case, Dongyi's side should have a better chance of winning...... But are you sure the Man in the Iron Mask is likely to participate?" the woman's voice had a cold feel to it. She seemed to be talking about the master matchup that King Mihuan had just revealed, and strangely, she seemed pleased with Dongyi's inference that the odds were greater.

It seemed that this female spy did have important secrets hidden in her, and those secrets were what Qi Lang urgently needed to know, so he got closer.

"Yes, Frost has been transferred. The retinue's reply came clearly, "He is a huge threat, when the eighteen Dou Venerable level masters besieged him, he was still injured seven times in a row, but fortunately King Billy used a trick, otherwise we would not have been able to turn him into a prisoner and successfully control him." ”

The woman seemed dissatisfied with hearing Billy's name, and she snorted, "If you really can't be sure, find a way to deal with him in advance." It's a pity that Abscion doesn't bother to take part in this confrontation, otherwise we'd just kill him all together!, but I've noticed that Gil has some eagerness, and that's enough. ”

Hearing this, Qi Lang's heart jumped violently: Jill? That's him, Jill McCain Billy! Could it be that Billy the Whale's Mouth would be bored enough to participate in this game of master duels in person? This is really amazing news!

So the woman in front of you, could it be her?

"However, I fear that Badge ...... there," the attendant was still carefully expressing his opinion.

"There is no such possibility. But the woman interrupted her subordinate's analysis with unusually firmness, "The beasts have gotten what they want, and will thank me." And I've already said hello, there's no way they're going to come over and catch the muddy waters. Stand down, I'm going to rest. ”

The attendant bowed: "Good night, Princess Jenny." ”
