Chapter 198: Hidden Dangers
Zhang Ying's concerns were not in Bai Xiao's consideration at all.
Of course, he didn't care if the immortal tree was exposed, but just as he was about to answer truthfully, he saw another person flying quickly in the huge sand boat.
The man was about forty or fifty years old, slightly fat, and was not dressed in white, but in purple-black armor, which stood out in the white-clothed convoy.
It was a suit of armor that was almost identical to that worn by General Gao Yan, except for a slight difference in the ornamentation on his chest. This person has a banner engraved on his chest, which is much milder than the broken blade ornament on Gao Yan's chest.
Compared with the deputy general Wu Tai, this person's temperament is obviously much rounder, with two short eyebrows and eyes squinted together, making that fat face look naΓ―ve.
"Hello Bai Xiao, I am Mo Wei, the military advisor of the Yushan Army, as you can see, I am here to pay tribute to the general. β
Bai Xiao asked, "So many people?"
The environment of the Black Swamp is so treacherous that for most people, it is to the point of death. Even a field expert like Gao Yan, as well as Bai Xiao, a snow-capped mountain hunter with great achievements, looked quite embarrassed when he first entered the swamp, one was infected by spores, and the other simply got lost, if it weren't for the follow-up live broadcast that attracted a master of the salient realm, it would be difficult for the two to survive in the swamp for a long time.
Now it is impossible for the Yushan army to have such convenient conditions.
Mo Wei said: "The black swamp dragons have no leader, and all the beasts mourn together, these days will be relatively safe, although it is only a few days, but it is relatively safe." β
Bai Xiao was stunned when he heard this, because he suddenly thought of the murmur of the swamp that he vaguely heard when the sand beast died, and when he and Zhang Ying left the swamp later, they also felt that the surrounding environment was no longer so sinister. All this seems to confirm Mo Wei's statement.
But why did he know so clearly?
Mo Wei smiled slightly, but there was a bit of bitterness in his smile.
"Actually, I'm a Ph.D. who specializes in swamps, but this time the general insisted on not letting me follow. β
Bai Xiao also had nothing to say when he heard this, Gao Yan was really a person who carried out his personal style to the end until he died. However, before he could ask in detail, Mo Wei turned his head and said, "Wu Tai, time is limited, let's start again as soon as possible." β
Then he arched his hand to Bai Xiao: "I'm sorry, when we come back, let's meet again in Yushan City, the Yushan army is very grateful to you for helping the general realize his dream." β
After speaking, Mo Wei paused, and said: "Of course, there is also a little noise, after all, an army of tens of thousands of people will always have all kinds of ideas, but I believe it is not a problem for you, in short, let's see you in Yushan City!"
After Mo Wei led the convoy to leave, Bai Xiao took Zhang Ying back on the road.
Zhang Ying only felt the aftermath of the catastrophe.
If it weren't for those Yushan soldiers who took the initiative to deviate from the topic and hurriedly went to the swamp to pay tribute to Gao Yan, once they studied her identity in detail, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
After He Yu's death, Zhang Ying has been thinking about what will happen to her budding newcomer without guidance, and the more she thinks about it, the more frightened she becomes.
Because no matter how you think about it, it won't end well.
People who hold the secret of the organization's resurrection, but don't know how to keep the secret, but their strength is not so earth-shattering, and they have no irreplaceable value, it is obviously better to be silenced.
Fortunately, Bai Xiao did not rush to kill her, but took her all the way to Yushan City.
Zhang Ying can only pray now that she is indeed useful.
After dying once, she really didn't want to experience death again, especially after realizing that the blessing of Ye Luo's roots was not omnipotent, her fear of death increased day by day!
After separating from the fleet, Bai Xiao hurried faster! Even far better than the sand boats or horse-drawn carriages commonly used by the people of the border county, all the way from the swamp at the southern end of the border county to the central Yushan City, and the usual journey of at least a few days was completed by him in half a day.
Zhang Ying was almost tired and out of breath all the way, it is true that she has a golden spike-level demon path cultivation, but her strength is mostly used for corrosion and concealment, rather than being used to rush
If she could have Bai Xiao's footsteps, after the failure of the Red Mountain Academy's operation that day, she would not have been blocked by the people of the Secret Agent Bureau to grow mushrooms in the mountains.
But even if she took out the spirit of the disintegration of the Heavenly Demon, she could only grit her teeth and follow closely to the end at this time.
When she saw the arrogant figure of Yushan City standing on the Gobi in the distance, she almost cried with joy.
It's finally here! Rest, food, bath!
On the other side, Bai Xiao, who had been running wildly for most of the day, did not show any fatigue, and even the injuries he suffered in the swamp were recovered in this half-day march, and when he approached the foot of Yushan City, he suddenly wrinkled his nose.
"The Smell of Riots"
And at this moment, in the Blur Domain, a long-lost voice was suddenly heard.
"Senior Brother Bai Xiao?"
Bai Xiao put the center of gravity of his consciousness on the Blur Domain, and sure enough, he saw that Zuo Qingsui and Gao Yan were there.
However, the original poem and Qingyue didn't know where to go, and they disappeared.
Zuo Qingsui said worriedly: "Senior brother, are you coming to Yushan City? Be careful, there is chaos here." β
Gao Yuan said: "I also suggest that senior brother, you don't rush into the city first, the incident happened too coincidentally, I'm afraid that there is some conspiracy against you." β
Bai Xiao asked, "What the hell is going on?" Zuo Qingsui, you can tell me. β
Gao Yuan was moved in his heart, and my senior brother really remembered that my ability to summarize and make statements was not as good as Qingsui, so he didn't let me make a statement reluctantly.
Zuo Qingsui was indeed well organized, and after a deep sigh, he said: "Senior Brother Gao Yuan and I have been in the Yushan military camp for the past few days, and I heard that the sand beast commotion has become more and more intense, and many routes have been forced to close, so the two of us have not returned to Hongshan City. β
Bai Xiao nodded, this was indeed the issue he was most concerned about. Compared with the safety of Yushan City, it is more worth caring about the safety of the same door. At this time, I heard that they were still in the barracks of the Yushan Army, and they were barely at ease.
Although returning to the academy as soon as possible was the way to go, since many shipping routes had been interrupted, there was no need to risk a forced march.
As for the reason for the sand beast riot, it is not difficult to deduce that the next mother queen of the sand beast community was copied by the people of the Immortal Tree, and it is strange that they are not chaotic.
After that, Zuo Qingsui said: "Half a day ago, a rich man's villa at the foot of Yu Mountain was attacked, and three people died in the village, which were Gao Heng, Gao Yu and Gao Yu of the Gao family in Brilliant Valley. The Gao family was furious when they heard the news, and they had sent a number of demon masters to ask for the guilt. And it just so happened that the demon knights of the Yushan Army went to the Black Swamp en masse to pay tribute to General Gao Yan, so the city is now in chaos. β
After a pause, Zuo Qingsui said again: "Senior brother, the timing of this matter is too coincidental and too strange, why did those three people suddenly come to Yushan City? And why were they killed by someone under the nose of Yushan Army? It seems that someone is deliberately involving many people and many forces to brew a big storm. Therefore, senior brother, you happened to be not at the scene at the time of the incident, so if you can not wade into troubled waters, don't come. β
Bai Xiao heard this, but was silent.
Zuo Qingsui was indeed concise and to the point, and outlined the key points in a few paragraphs.
Gao Heng, Gao Yu, and Gao Yu, these three people were obviously killed and killed, and Changshengshu was indeed ruthless and decisive in doing things, leaving no flaws. Just as he was about to use those few people as a breakthrough, the clue was immediately interrupted.
Naturally, it is difficult to carry out the investigation, and the only evidence related to them related to the immortal tree is a dead leaf in He Yu's hand, and the waste man Zhang Ying next to him who is at his disposal.
The dead leaves have been destroyed, and Zhang Ying can be regarded as a tainted witness at most, and this evidence obviously cannot convict several corpses, so the death of Gao Heng and the other three people, in the eyes of everyone, is that the Gao family, which belongs to the Brilliant Valley, has been seriously provoked.
At this time, it is difficult to carry out any investigation.
Otherwise, it will only appear to be pouring dirty water on the dead.
The key is that the young master of the Gao family is still dead, and his identity is very important, if it is a marginal person like Gao Yuan, things are easy to say. In many of the books that Bai Xiao has read, once some big families may be involved in risks, they will directly push an unlucky person out to shoulder all the blame and die.
But when the core figure is implicated, then everyone in the entire family has to work hard to prove their innocence.
Under such a storm, Bai Xiao is a lonely person, and it is indeed not suitable to be involved.
Thinking about this, Bai Xiao couldn't help but feel a little proud of his progress, if no one explained to him before, he would never have imagined this layer himself.
But just because you figure it out doesn't mean you can sit idly by.
He didn't think he could really get out of the world.
After all, Zuo Qingsui and Gao Yuan are still in Yushan City.
It was Gao Heng who died half a day ago, so half a day later, could it be Zuo Qingsui and Gao Yuan?
