Chapter Seventy-Four: The Yellow Sky Reappears
Qin Wu and Ma Dong walked all the way, not taking the main road on the way, only taking various remote paths in the forest, until they crossed the mountain road for about an hour like this, and after confirming that no one was following them, they finally dared to stop and rest.

"General Ma, do you think we are going to turn around first now?" Qin Wu asked.
Ma Dong thought for a while and said, "You can't directly turn the longitudinal level now. ”
"Oh, why?"
"Although there is an absolutely trustworthy Tiger Ben Army in Hezong Pass, I am afraid that they will secretly plot and beat us up, and I am afraid that it will only cause more chaos when the time comes, and it will play into their hands. ”
"What's the plan?"
"How come General Xiang Hui is also a titled general, an important minister of the imperial court, and died in the palace for no reason, what do you think they will do? Tell the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army that there has never been such a person as Xiang Hui? Or admit that they killed General Xiang Hui themselves?"
Qin Wu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, if they really claim to the world that General Xiang Hui was executed because of the mutiny, they will not be believed at all, General Xiang Hui's loyalty is obvious to all, so their best way is to plant all the blame on our heads......"
Ma Dong added: "Especially if you really appear, your identity is unknown for the time being, and your strength has also reached the concentrating level......
Qin Wu smiled bitterly: "I see...... If I killed General Xiang Hui, it was the easiest to accept by uninformed people, and it was also the most reasonable. ”
Ma Dong lowered his head in shame and said, "I'm sorry, I hurt you......"
Qin Wu waved his hand and said: "No, this is my willingness, even if General Ma doesn't say it, I will go to save General Xiang Hui, I have long been against this kind of corrupt government, so General Ma doesn't need to blame himself, not to mention that if I hadn't arrived late, I'm afraid I would have died there." ”
But after finishing speaking, Qin Wu suddenly fell into deep thought, and said in a low voice while thinking, "...... No, if I hadn't arrived late, maybe I would have been able to break through with General Xiang Hui, so that he wouldn't have died......"
The more the two talked, the more sad they became, Ma Dong wanted to comfort Qin Wu, but he didn't know where to speak, not only sad for Xiang Hui, but also sad for his own future, and now in front of them, there was only a bumpy road full of thorns......
Ma Dong said with a firm look in his eyes: "The important thing now is that we have to find a way to live, and we can't let them succeed in their tricks, don't worry, if they find out your identity and frame you, I will definitely come forward to clarify for you, the brothers of the Tiger Benjun may not know much about you, but they will definitely believe my words." ”
"Hmm. Qin Wu nodded, as long as Ma Dong is there, then he will not end up with a stigma, the government Qin Wu is not afraid, but Xiang Hui entrusted the Tiger Army to himself, if he is attacked by the people of the Tiger Army, then there is suffering.
"Speaking of which, General Ma, how are your injuries?" Qin Wu asked, remembering that Ma Dong's arm had been cut off from a large piece of flesh.
Ma Dong looked at the arm that was simply bandaged, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the poison has been discharged, and the blood has been stopped by me with internal force, I remember that there is a small town not far ahead, and we will go there to buy some herbs to prevent the wound from becoming inflamed." ”
"Yes, there is a town in such a remote place. ”
In terms of familiarity with the region, Qin Wu is far inferior to Ma Dong.
Ma Dong explained: "It is said that it is a town, but in fact, it is just a group dwelling place built by some hunters in the mountains, although there is not much circulation of goods, but there will definitely be no shortage of herbs and food. ”
The two of them rested for a while, and then continued on their way, heading in the direction of the town that Ma Dong had mentioned.
After a while, they arrived at that town, like this kind of remote place they are not afraid of exposing anything, casually found a family, gave some money, and it can be regarded as a residence, and the people here are basically relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and there are a lot of herbs at home, when they saw Ma Dong's injury, the hunter was also very enthusiastic to take out the herbs and put them on him.
"Thank you, how much should I give these herbs?" asked Ma Dong politely.
The hunter grinned and said: "It's okay, I usually pick it when I go into the mountains to hunt, and I don't sell it for money anyway, and the money you gave me when I lived in my house is enough for me to sell a few wild boars, so I'm embarrassed to charge you again." ”
Ma Dong said "oh" and said, "Then thank you." ”
Although it seemed to him that this matter was one yard and the same, since everyone else had said so, he was not polite.
Orion smiled and said, "You can rest, and I will go and slaughter the stupid roe deer I just caught, and make a pot of delicious food for the two of you in the evening." ”
While Orion was bandaging Ma Dong, Qin Wu scooped a bowl of clean water and sat outside the house not knowing what to think.
"What should I do after returning to Hezong Pass......" Qin Wu said distressedly.
He has no experience in leading troops, let alone brought anyone, he was fine alone before, he could do whatever he wanted, but now facing such a big stall, Qin Wu felt embarrassed.
However, since he promised Xiang Hui, no matter how difficult it was, he had to find a way to do it, and Qin Wu himself did not want to see a group of loyal soldiers like the Tiger Ben Army being suppressed by the government.
Sand, sand, sand......
Just when Qin Wu was troubled, he suddenly heard a burst of slow footsteps behind him, the footsteps were light but steady, and they were definitely not the footsteps of a rough man in the mountains!
"Who!" Qin Wu immediately turned back vigilantly.
But when he saw who it was, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and let down his vigilance, this was not the Han chasing soldiers, but his master of the Heaven Chasing Sect - Huang Tian.
"Master!" Qin Wu stood up and said respectfully.
Huang Tian smiled and nodded, without saying a word, he walked straight to another small wooden bench beside Qin Wu, and sat down casually, without a shelf at all, not caring at all that his robe fell on the dirt.
Seeing that Qin Wu was still standing, Huang Tian directly pointed to the bench and said to Qin Wu: "What are you doing standing, sit." ”
Qin Wu nodded and sat down, he had a lot of questions in his heart now, but he didn't know where to ask for a while.
Huang Tian smiled and said, "Do you want to know, why am I here?"
"Yes. Qin Wu replied.
Huang Tian stroked his not very long beard and smiled: "In fact, I have been following you since you and I separated. ”
Qin Wu was shocked in his heart, the master had actually followed him all the time, from the Heaven Chasing Sect to the capital, even if it was a few days away on horseback.
Huang Tian continued: "Including what you did in the palace, I also saw it all. ”
"But there are so many masters in the palace, how are you ...... Master?"
Qin Wu wanted to ask Huang Tian how he hadn't been discovered, but before he finished speaking, he directly swallowed the following words, those people in the palace were masters for themselves, but for Huang Tian, they could be regarded as masters?
