Chapter 212: Departure to Jingjiang
Ye Xiaoxiao took off the sheepskin pouch from the horse, cleaned the wound with water, and tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes, and carefully bandaged him, with concern in his eyes.
Yu Zhong looked at her, and his heart was turbulent. On the one hand, there is the reverence of the flower girl for the hero, and on the other hand, there is a young man with strong blood.
is so smart, how can Yu Zhong not know what Ye Xiaoxiao is thinking in his heart. If there was no love, how could he fly to save her regardless of his own danger.
It's just that at this moment, there are still many questions in his heart.
Intuition told him that there were many secrets in Ye Xiaoxiao's body. Only when these secrets were answered did he dare to truly open his heart to this girl.
Seeing Yu Zhong looking at him in a daze, Ye Xiaoxiao's face turned red and asked, "Brother Yu, what do you want?"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's not early, let's go back early. Yu Zhong hurriedly replied.
The remnant sun is slanting yellow and red, and the mood is different.
Following. Under the leadership of Pu Huan, the dart team left Yongzhou and embarked on the road to Jingjiang Mansion. At the other end of this rugged mountain road, what awaits them, everyone's hearts are beating drums.
Although he rested in Yongzhou for three days, Baili Shuke has not been idle, he has given full play to his expertise and collected news everywhere. Not to mention, it really let him know a lot of things.
While the team was resting on the way, he approached Yu Zhong and whispered.
"Boss, I'm here to tell you something. Bai Li Yu looked around, confirmed that there was no one from the Pu family around, and told Yu Zhong everything he had heard in the past few days.
At this time, Jingjiang Mansion was already the center of a whirlpool. The rumors on the rivers and lakes are becoming more and more evil, and now it has been said that Xuanyuan Zi killed Pu Yan Liwei, the head of the Pu family, in the first step in order to avenge the destruction of the sect, and then personally came to the door to destroy the Pu family.
And the Demon Sect Secret Treasure and the Demon Skill Secret Book are Xuanyuanzi's battle posts against the heroes of the whole world, if anyone can defeat Xuanyuanzi, the two treasures of the Demon Sect will belong to him.
The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit.
There is nothing groundless in the world, so all the large and small sects on the rivers and lakes have sent their own representatives to gather in the Pu family in Jingjiang Mansion. First, it is to find out the truth of the matter, and secondly, it cannot be ruled out that there are many people who are really interested in the treasure of the Demon Sect.
"I think this time, including us, all the decent people in martial arts have been tricked by Xuanyuanzi. Yu Zhong has been constantly thinking about the causes and consequences of this matter, and there are too many places that are not logical.
"Could it be that these two Demon Cult treasures are really hidden in our car, do we need to look for anything that looks like a map or a cheatbook?" Bai Li said.
"If there really is, the Manichaeans would have found it a long time ago, and they are still waiting for you and me to find it. Yu replied.
"It's also ......," Bai Liyu felt a little silly.
"But if it's not with us, then why do you want to go to the extra mile and let us escort the goods to Jingjiang Mansion?" Yu Zhong asked rhetorically.
"Is it to build momentum and spread rumors?" Bai Liyu guessed.
"No, no, there are so many other ways to do this, so why bother to find us. Yu Zhong shook his head and replied.
At this, he was suddenly stunned, because he realized that everything he had thought before was wrong. The last time the two of them discussed this trip with Ye Xiaoxiao, they came to the conclusion that the two great treasures of the Demon Sect should have nothing to do with this cargo, they were just being used.
Not to mention that there have been so many twists and turns along the way, in Yongzhou, I saw Pu Huan and Mu Shiyou meet each other, and the two conspired to seize the goods. All these clues that prove that the two great treasures of the Demon Cult may really be in the cargo, and there may be something else.
It can be seen from Pu Huan's attitude that the Pu family is very jealous of this batch of goods, and the reason why Xuanyuan Zi wants to hand over the goods to them is probably to deliver this batch of goods.
With Xuanyuanzi's long-lying salary and careful style, it is impossible for him to do meaningless things. He would entrust the goods to the dart board, and there must be some reason why he had to do so.
Yu Zhong boldly guessed that every piece of this batch of goods was probably very important, and Xuanyuan Zi needed them to send a lot of goods to the Pu family.
And it may be that only the dart bureau that seems to have nothing to do with the Demon Sect will deliver this goods, so as to achieve the purpose that Xuanyuan Zi expected.
But what is the secret of this goods, and what is the purpose of Xuanyuanzi, he still can't figure it out.
Baili Shu listened to Yu Zhong's analysis, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said with palpitations: "Boss, if it is really according to what you said, this batch of goods is so important, I will really lose my dart, and Xuanyuan will not eat me alive." ”
"Look at your guts, if I were Xuanyuanzi, I would definitely make preparations with both hands, think about it, are there any strange people or things happening along the way?" Yu Zhong asked.
After this reminder, Baili Zhen really remembered a person.
"Yes, yes, that time happened to be the time when you and Miss Ye were away, and there was an eyebrowless monster who had been following the dart team, and he also had a fight with the four ghosts of Hengnan during the period. Bai Li said.
After listening to the story of the eyebrowless monster, Yu Zhong frowned and thought. He had heard his second uncle Yu Huang mention the names of the four ghosts in Hengnan, and these four extremely vicious people were by no means ordinary people. How can someone who can easily get rid of them have no name in the rivers and lakes.
But for this eyebrowless monster in Baili Shu's mouth, Yu Zhong really has no impression.
"Could he have been sent by Xuanyuanzi? I don't think he seems to have any ill will towards us, but rather something like he was protecting the dart cart, and after the Xiaozhou dart cart was hijacked, he suddenly disappeared. Bai Li said.
"I can't rule out this possibility, but the identity of this person is a mystery, and if we see him again, we still have to take more precautions. Yu replied.
"What are you talking about, it's so lively!" Ye Xiaoxiao walked over and interrupted the conversation between the two of them, she was here to inform the two of them that the team had finished resting and was ready to go on the road.
"We were discussing how to eat, drink and have fun in Jingjiang Mansion and relax. Ha ha. Baili said nonchalantly, he didn't plan to tell Ye Xiaoxiao the content of their conversation.
Although Yu Zhong did not say that the content of the conversation between the two of them needed to be kept secret, his habit was that if he didn't say what he could say, he would treat it as if he couldn't say it.
At this time, Pu Huan walked over and said to everyone: "Everyone, we are about to enter a dense forest area in front, there are many poisonous insects in the dense forest in the south, everyone still has to do a good job of protection." ”
"Hehe, fortunately, I was prepared when I left Yongzhou. Bai Li said.
Everyone hurriedly smeared the protective oil all over their bodies and entered the dense forest.
Not long after entering the dense forest, everyone heard a rapid bird call. It turned out to be the fairy eight-colored thrush that Baili Yu brought all the way from Xiangzhou, and it was constantly flapping its wings in the cage, as if it was very anxious.
"What's the matter with my little baby?" Bai Li said strangely, this fairy eight-colored thrush has been very quiet all the way, except for the morning when he is more excited to wake up and eat, he rarely calls on weekdays.
"There may be miasma, everyone be careful!" Yu Zhong suddenly became alert, looked around, and saw a white mist in the depths of the dense forest around him, floating in the direction of everyone.
"It's impossible, it's afternoon at this time, and the yang energy is in full bloom, how can there be miasma!" Pu Huan is also very strange, he has been walking this road all year round, and he has never encountered a miasma at this hour. But as a native of the south, he also knew what the fairy eight-colored thrush meant by warning.
Seeing that everyone was about to be surrounded by miasma, they were losing ground. Yu Zhong suddenly shouted loudly: "Baili, release the fairy eight-colored thrush!"
Baili Yu knew that Yu Zhong must have his reason, and he was not ambiguous, so he immediately opened the cage and released the fairy eight-colored thrush.
I saw that the fairy eight-colored thrush had to get out of its cage, fluttered its wings and flew quickly in one direction.
"Everyone, follow the fairy eight-colored thrush!" Yu Zhong hurriedly shouted, and Zhao Yebai let out a hiss, and immediately followed.
Everyone hurriedly followed, running wildly all the way, and before the miasma was encircled, they rushed out of a gap and escaped.
"Whew, it's so dangerous, boss, how did you come up with the idea of using the fairy eight-colored thrush to lead the way. Bai Li Shu wiped his sweat and asked.
"Animals have the instinct to survive, and I think that since the fairy eight-colored thrush has the ability to distinguish miasma, it naturally knows how to escape from the miasma, but I am only gambling......" Yu replied.
"Oh my God, what if you lose the bet!" Bai Liyu was startled.
"Haha, it looks like my gambling luck is pretty good. Yu Zhong said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a wise man under the command of the head of the hundred miles, even a person like me who has lived in the south all the year round would be ashamed of himself, if it weren't for the little brother's wit today, I'm afraid we would all be buried in this dense forest. Pu Huan also brought his subordinates over and thanked him repeatedly.
"Butler Pu is serious, but there will be miasma in this afternoon, which is really abnormal, and we should be careful on the road after this. Yu Zhong said.
"What the little brother said is very true, what he said is very ......" Pu Huanlian claimed that it was, but he already had a plan in his heart.
In fact, how could he not know that there was something strange about this miasma, whether it was the direction of the miasma or the time, it was obviously artificial. And those who know how to use these to ambush the dart team don't think about it except for Master Mu.
Pu Huan only hated this Mu Shiyou at the moment for being too nonsense, and almost lost his life, so he was angry, and he couldn't wait to catch this bastard immediately.
At this moment, Master Mu was still proud in the depths of the dense forest, thinking that he had succeeded, and was preparing to wait for the miasma to dissipate, so that he could pick up the ready-made. Who knew that Yu Zhong and the others would take the fairy eight-colored thrush with them, and they had already escaped.
