It took a whole night for Yu Xun to search the entire dock fort very carefully and meticulously, but there was no trace of any outsiders staying at all.

Strangely, where are the lords and servants of the whole Dock Fort at this moment? And what about the spirit doves at home?

The Yu family has a total of more than a dozen spirit pigeons used for communication, and they have also disappeared very cleanly at this moment!

This apparently too calm appearance always makes people feel that behind it, there is a very high possibility that there is an extremely terrible truth! But what could this terrible truth be?

Since it is difficult to solve the mystery on his own, he can only find a way to ask for help from others! As soon as his mind was opened, Yu Xun immediately remembered a person......

This person who is likely to help him is his father's best friend: the master of the Cinderella Island Mirage Palace in the East China Sea - the master of Wei Shiwei Palace.

As soon as Yu Xun thought of an idea, he immediately returned to his bedroom - before dawn, he lay on the bed and his clothes, and recuperated a little.

Early the next morning, Yu Xun brought some coils, and set out a large plate of particularly attractive dog food for the dog. Then, while the "Jindudu" was eating deliciously, he crept out......

Yu Xun returned from the secret passage to the place where he had been tied to his mount yesterday, and he rode on horseback, raised his whip and galloped wildly—straight to the Fengli Ferry!

At this time, he hurriedly bluffed and went straight to the Fengli Ferry, which was a Grand Canal ferry port located forty-five or six miles southeast of Shangluo City.

Because if you go north as usual and go to the Fengling ferry on the edge of the Yellow River, there will be no boat to take at this time. But why? In this cold winter, the Yellow River has already been frozen in this section of the river!

It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry, as soon as Yu Xun arrived at the ferry, he happened to run into a passenger boat that was about to set sail.

He hurriedly deposited his horses, and then rushed to the boat and asked the captain for a single cabin. The passenger ship, called the Jiaolong, was ten feet long - the structure of the ship's double-deck cabins indicates that it was a standard passenger ship used in the area to go to sea.

Due to Yu Xun's timely joining, the ship was just full at this time.

With the order of the elated boat boss, all the sailors pulled their sails with all their might! Because it was a tailwind at this time, the "Jiaolong" really rode the wind and waves and split the waves on the wide river surface like a dragon swimming in the water!

......

After careful calculation, it has been about nine days since Yu Xun left Juyanzhou City alone. So, what happened in Juyanzhou in the days since he left?

In the early morning of the day Yu Xun left the city of Juyanzhou, the envoy of Juyanzhou, Hongmou and his guards, were struggling to march on the mountain road leading to the southeast foot of Helan Mountain......

At the end of that mountain road, stands the new city of Tunbing, which was completed just a year ago, - Deer Hunting City.

At this moment, Wu Tang, the guard of Deer Hunting City, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the city, was still asleep in the warm quilt unconsciously.

In stark contrast to the main general, it is the performance of the two lieutenants -

Wu Wei, the battalion officer of the Left Guard, is Wu Tang's distant nephew, and he is guarding the tower at the main gate of Hunting Deer City at this time. Wu Yingguan stood tall with his hand on the hilt of his sword, energetically observing the movement outside the city.

Wu Jing, the commander of the right guard battalion, is Wu Wei's cousin. At this time, he was leading a patrol detachment, difficult to march on the mountain road in the north of the city covered with thick snow......

The mountain road patrolled by Wu Jing is located on the ridge of the mountain and has a wide field of vision -- it is convenient to observe the enemy situation in the north! For this reason, this has always been the only way for the two lieutenants to take turns to lead the team to patrol every day.

Wu Wei, who was on duty at the head of the city at this time, suddenly noticed that a small group of cavalry suddenly appeared-they quickly turned out from the mouth of the valley in the south, and the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves on the ground was getting closer and closer!

Seeing this situation, the vigilant Wu Wei immediately opened his eyes wide and closely watched the movements of this biao man. After seeing the face of the leader clearly, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him: "Go and tell General Wu Tang quickly!"

Then, Wu Wei straightened his clothes and armor a little, and hurriedly ran down the city tower to greet this group of uninvited guests.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw Wu Wei, the deputy general who was already waiting there.

"Where is Wu Tang?" asked as soon as he opened his mouth, and without waiting for Wu Wei to reply, he shook the reins and drove his horse straight through the city gate. The ten guards behind him followed closely behind.

Only Li Shuzhou reined in the reins of his horse slightly, and he heard Wu Wei say hesitantly: "Report to the commander! General Wu Tang occasionally felt a cold, and he should still be resting in bed at this moment......

Of course, this is just a makeshift excuse made up by Wu Wei, a young man who is good at adaptation, and it is obvious that he intends to cover up his mistakes for his superiors......

However, is his seemingly improvised, really—just a cover for his superiors?
