"Sect Master Xu doesn't have to worry, just go and do something urgent. Just keep in mind that you must get that person back. "When he was in a dilemma, Tuoba Longyang opened his mouth to relieve the siege.
Xu Bing no longer hesitated after hearing this, and when he left the hall, he opened his mouth to instruct the steward, and then walked straight to the main entrance quickly.
When they reached the main entrance, all but one of the guards were dozing. Seeing that the sect master had arrived in person, the sober guards hurriedly woke up the others and opened their mouths to confess in a panic.
"Not long ago, did you see anyone going out from here?" Xu Bing didn't have time to blame a few people for being lazy, and asked eagerly after interrupting the accusation.
"Half an hour ago, a young man departed from here. We checked his carry-on luggage and found no belongings. Hearing the inquiry, someone in the guard responded.
"Do you still remember your appearance?" Xu Bing asked after listening.
"I don't remember exactly, but I remember a little delicate. Another guard replied.
"By the way, this person has a wolf dog next to him, which is very powerful. After responding, the guard remembered a detail and hurriedly said it.
After Xu Bing listened, he turned his head to look to the side. Mu Lao nodded knowingly in confirmation.
"Where did you go?"
"Northwest direction. ”
When Xu Bingjin was talking to the guards, the steward who had just been ordered to leave would bring people back. In addition to bringing people, there were also a few sturdy horses.
"Get on the horse and chase after it. ”
Xu Bingjin saw the steward, took the horse and quickly ordered. Braving the night, the group hurried to the northwest.
When chasing all the way, Xu Bing was making plans in his heart.
The guard said that the man had left half an hour ago, and that he had already walked more than ten miles according to the footsteps of ordinary people. But that person is not an ordinary person, if he uses magic, it is also ordinary for dozens of miles.
Therefore, if you can't find it when you chase it out for more than ten miles, what should you do next? Do you change your direction, or do you continue to move along the northwest?
After repeated struggles, he could only make a rough decision. Even if you can't find the person more than ten miles away, you have to keep going. If you really can't find it, it is the fortune that there is no help from this person in your life.
Urging the horse to gallop, the march is fast. After a stick of incense, it has been more than ten miles away. Xu Bing didn't see anyone in front of him, and although he was prepared in his heart, he still felt discouraged.
The discouragement didn't last long before it took a turnaround.
A few miles further, by the moonlight, he saw two figures in front of him, one large and one small.
"The Taoist chief stayed. ”
When he saw the figure, he shouted while urging the horse to hurry.
Before Xu Bingjin could speak, Sima Wenzhi had already noticed that someone was chasing after him on horseback. When he heard the shouting, he realized that these people were coming for him, and then he stopped and turned around.
Seeing this, Xu Bing stopped more than a dozen steps away. He turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Sima Wenzhi on foot.
"Where are you going?" When he approached, he didn't say hello and asked directly.
"There is no fixed place to live, and there is no fixed place to walk. Sima asked and replied coldly.
"This, this..."Xu Bingjin heard his tone, and embarrassment appeared on his face. Then he hid his embarrassment and opened his mouth to persuade.
"Since the Taoist chief doesn't know where to go, why don't you go to Xu's Dock Fort and be supported by Xu?"
"Xu's wide door has a high threshold, easy to get out and not easy to enter. Sima asked, and his response was still cold.
After going back, Xu sent someone to remove the threshold, and after that, the sect did not stop the Taoist chief. Xu Bing understood and persuaded again.
"If a gentleman doesn't stand a dangerous wall, the Xu family's disaster is not far away, and I don't want to wade into this troubled water. Sima asked him to excuse himself again and tell the truth in his heart.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Bingjin to see how he reacted.
To his surprise, Xu Bing listened carefully, and there was no surprise on his face. Not only did he not see anything abnormal, but Xu Bingjin's subsequent words were also unexpected.
"Dao Chief, do you know that I have sent someone to Fengzhi?"
"Feng Zhi?" Sima asked rhetorically.
"When the Taoist first came, he handed over Feng Zhi's handwritten book to the guards, and later Mu Lao took you into the fort to settle down. Xu Bing explained.
"I don't know, what does it have to do with me?" Sima asked.
"It has a lot to do with the Taoist chief. Xu Bing had already prepared his speech, and he would reply immediately after he responded.
"Before the Taoist came, Feng Zhi still had a handwritten letter, which was sent to the fort by others. There are many things in detail, most of which are related to the Taoist. And repeatedly told the general not to meet after the Taoist Anton, and to send someone to him to visit him later. ”
"Really?" Sima asked, not convinced.
"Really. The man he sent had just returned, and he came with me to pursue the Taoist. While Xu Bing responded, he beckoned the servant to step forward.
If you can't believe, you must be convinced. Sima didn't shy away from asking, waiting for the man to approach, and then stretched out his hand to check his pulse.
The essence is empty, the qi is disordered, this person has indeed had a long-distance trip before, not caused by more than ten miles of riding.
"What did Master Xu say?" he asked back after the investigation. When he spoke, his tone was no longer cold.
"Fang Yu Xu's family and Luoyang's Xu family are one, Feng Zhi begged the Taoist to lend a hand again to save the Xu family's own sect. Xu Bingjin's face was overjoyed when he saw his inquiry, and his response became more and more earnest.
"Don't get too close to Tuoba Longyang anymore. Sima Wenzhi heard the pleading, and after thinking about it, he was relieved.
"When the mission is gone, there will be no more to do with them. Xu Bing made a promise.
"There is no need to cut it in two, just have a degree of intimacy. Sima asked him to see that he would be wrong, so he opened his mouth to correct it.
"That's very good. After Xu Bing listened, his heart was settled.
Sima Wenzhi changed his mind, and it didn't take long for the group to begin to return to Xu's Dock Fort.
When we returned, there were not enough horses.
Xu Bing insisted that Sima Wenzhi sit on the horse, and he personally held the reins, and refused to accept the horses sent by others one by one.
Fortunately, the journey was not too far, and after an hour, the group returned to the fort.
Xu Bingjin had already instructed the steward before leaving, and after he left, he would settle Tuoba Longyang and his party first. Therefore, when he returned, the castle was quiet, and there was no noise from before.
But soon after, the silence in the fort was broken. There are many servants who are in a hurry, holding a dry living allowance in their hands.
In order to show his sincerity, Xu Bing couldn't wait for the dawn, so he ordered Sima Wen's residence to be moved to the main courtyard from the side overnight.
After some tossing, it was already midnight when I settled down again.
The new room is much larger than before, Xu Bing is very careful, and he also prepares a small bed in the house. Langya was a little tired after running around for a long time, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep after running into the small bed.
Sima Wenzhi kept lying on the bed with his eyes open, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something. After Xu Bingjin personally retrieved him, he placed him in the main courtyard with great significance.
The main courtyard is full of Xu clan relatives, once there is a crisis, Sima Wenzhi is nearby, and he can quickly come to the rescue.
"Soft-hearted, misguided, and set up a dangerous wall. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
