"What did Senior Brother Yi say? How could I let you die?" Mu Jingyu complained with a straight face: "As long as you notice something is wrong, you can find a reason to run away immediately. You don't have to think about whether you can stay with him, because I'm delivering information."
Mu Jingyu's sincerity moved Yi Hong again. When he was with Han Yao, when had he treated her sincerely? It's just a show-off to achieve one's own goals. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been asked to pretend to be Han Yao and lure Mu Jingyu and the others away at the critical moment.
While talking, Yi Hong had already taken Shi Jiang's appearance and disguised himself as him. Then he imitated Shi Jiang's usual behavior and took a few steps back and forth, which attracted Mu Jingyu's continuous praise.
"Senior Brother Yi is really like you! If I hadn't known about Shi Jiang's death, I would have thought you were the real Shi Jiang."
"It does look similar." Bi Yun took a few steps back, observed it carefully, and said in agreement.
Yi Hong replied: "I have been with them since I was a child, and I know a lot about Shi Jiang. Otherwise, I wouldn't have learned to be like him so quickly."
"Okay, let's get this place in order quickly to avoid being discovered." Mu Jingyu took matters into his own hands, found a relatively flat place in the woods, dug out several deep pits, and then dug a With the help of others, Shi Jiang and more than ten followers were buried in it. Finally, it was covered with loose soil, and after tidying up, there was no abnormality at all.
However, the remaining ten or so horses really gave them a hard time. Let's just bury them according to the law. Not only are they huge, but they will also kill them innocently. Mu Yu is shocked and can't bear it. But if they were allowed to leave, once they were discovered by people from the Shi family, the whereabouts of the three of them would inevitably be exposed.
While Mu Jingyu was looking worried at the horses gathered together, Yi Hong had already climbed onto the horse Shi Jiang was riding: "Junior brother Mu, Princess Biyun, there are still more than a thousand miles from here to Netherworld Ghost State. These horses are for us to drive for the whole journey. When we get there, I will let them go, and then find an excuse to say that my men have gone elsewhere, so that no one will be suspicious."
Mu Jingyu's eyes lit up, Yi Hong's method was indeed feasible. He quickly greeted Bi Yun, jumped on the horse, and then galloped with Yi Hong and disappeared into the night.
Regardless of the Shi family's weak strength, the dozen or so horses sitting down are all extraordinary. Apparently he was specially selected in order to let Shi Jiang rush back to Han Yao quickly. You really can travel thousands of miles a day without stopping.
In just one day and night, by ten o'clock in the evening the next day, the three of them had arrived at the place where the two states met. The guards here were indeed much tighter. Fortunately, Yi Hong, disguised as Shi Jiang, cleared the way and passed smoothly.
After arriving at a safe place, Mu Jingyu raised his head and looked around, then pointed to the south and said: "Brother Yi, Bi Yun and I are going over there. You have to deal with Han Yao alone, but you must pay attention to safety. If anything happens, If you can do it, stay. If you can't do it, leave as soon as possible. Don't force yourself."
Yi Hong said gratefully: "Don't worry, I will handle it carefully."
On the way here, they not only successfully passed many checkpoints, but also learned the whereabouts of Han Wenyuan and his son. So after entering the Netherworld Ghost State, they agreed that the three of them would split up. Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun went to meet Qin Yunchuan and others, and Yi Hong sneaked into Han Yao's side.
"Take care!" After getting along with each other for this period of time, Bi Yun felt that Yi Hong truly surrendered, and her attitude towards him changed a lot.
"Thank you Princess Biyun." Yi Hong spurred his horse and whipped his horse, turned around and prepared to continue walking north. Suddenly he remembered something and turned around and asked, "Junior Brother Mu, how should I contact you in the future?"
Mu Jingyu slapped his head and said with a smile: "I almost forgot about this." Then he quickly made a hand seal with his hands, indicating to Yi Hong to remember it in his heart, and at the same time warned: "In the future, if you see someone, secretly sneak up on you Forming this handprint means that he is the person I sent. If you have anything to say, just tell him."
Mu Jingyu didn't think of this handprint temporarily, but found a more secretive one from the secret codes used by Tianji Pavilion to communicate.
Yi Hong followed the instructions once and remembered it firmly in his mind. Finally, he waved his hand and disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun without turning his head.
After following Han Yao for many years, he didn't learn much else, but he had a good understanding of the caution a subordinate should have. Knowing that Mu Jingyu didn't want him to know where he was going, he stayed still for the time being.
Seeing that Yi Hong's figure had completely disappeared, Mu Jingyu said: "Yun'er, let's go too, don't keep Brother Qin and the others waiting impatiently."
"Yes." Bi Yun turned around and asked, "Jingyu, tell me... is Yi Hong sincerely surrendering, or is he just pretending to win our trust? Will he betray you if he returns to Han Yao again?" "
Although Bi Yun gradually trusted Yi Hong, she was still a little hesitant after Yi Hong actually left.
"Don't doubt people, don't doubt people. I trust Yi Hong." Mu Jingyu seemed to be giving Bi Yun confidence, but in fact he was also giving himself confidence.
Even though they have reached the boundary of Netherworld Ghost State, the guards here are still tight. Fortunately, the two of them found many tokens from Shi Jiang's followers, and Yi Hong arranged their identities for them in advance, so they did not attract attention and successfully arrived at the Quyang Mountains that they had passed through after escaping from the Netherworld Ghost State. Then we followed the mountain to find Kirigakure Poison Lake.
There are not many places they know about in the entire Netherworld Ghost State. Not only Qin Yunchuan and several people have been here, but Mu Jingyu also knows the specific place. That's why Qin Yunchuan told Mu Jingyu to meet here in his letter.
After turning over and dismounting, Mu Jingyu whipped up his whip and drove the two horses towards a deserted place, and then pulled Bi Yun into the foggy swamp.
However, it is not only filled with poisonous gas, but also has a wide range. Mu Jingyu just knew that Qin Yunchuan and others were hiding there, but the specific location was not clear.
As time passed, Mu Jingyu felt that poisonous gas had invaded his body, and he gradually felt dizzy. He turned to look at Bi Yun and found that her face was red from suppressing it for a long time. It was obvious that he couldn't hold on any longer, but when he saw that he didn't make a sound, he tried not to speak.
Seeing this situation, how could Mu Jingyu dare to delay. Bi Yun didn't know the power of Kirigakure Poison, but he had a deep understanding of it.
After quickly leaving the poisonous swamp, Mu Jingyu settled Bi Yun, then returned to it again, and found the reeds hidden in it according to the method Tingna told him.
Just after pulling out a few plants, I suddenly heard footsteps nearby. Mu Jingyu was overjoyed. He was about to check to see if the people were Qin Yunchuan and the others, but he quickly stopped. I thought to myself, what if it’s not them? If he showed up rashly, wouldn't he reveal his identity?
Thinking of this, Mu Jingyu found a nearby place to hide and carefully observed who came here.
As the sound of sparse footsteps came closer and closer, a young man's figure stepped among them. He first looked at the surrounding reeds, and then pulled up the nearest ones.
"Brother Qin, it is indeed Brother Qin!" Mu Jingyu recognized it at a glance. The young man in front of him was Qin Yunchuan, whom he had not seen for a long time. He jumped out of his hiding place excitedly.
"Brother Qin!" Mu Jingyu rushed over excitedly, but Qin Yunchuan, who was concentrating on collecting herbs, was startled. How could he have thought that there was someone hidden inside?
There was no time to distinguish Mu Jingyu's voice, the fairy sword Mingkong still held it in his hand on guard. When he saw Lai Mu Jingyu's face clearly, he frowned for a moment, and then he stepped forward with a happy face.
"Hahaha, Jingyu, it's you!" The two brothers, who had not seen each other for a long time, hugged each other tightly and patted each other on the back, unable to hide their brotherly love.
"So, it's going well in Jade Kun Palace. I heard that the Jiuli tribe and Bei Ping Wang returned without success and did not grab Chi You's magic axe. They even made a wedding dress for your kid to get it. It's over." Qin Yunchuan lowered his head and glanced at the Chi You Demon Ax hanging on Mu Jingyu's waist, and punched him incidentally.
"That's right, little brother, I have a deep blessing. How can I just talk about it?" Mu Jingyu proudly took off Chi You's magic ax and handed it to Qin Yunchuan.
The latter took it in his hand unceremoniously, weighed it casually, and gave it back to Mu Jingyu: "Tell me quickly, what kind of luck did you have to be able to make an ancient god like Chi You's Demonic Ax surrender?" , and allowed Headmaster Qinglian and others not to investigate?"
"This, but it's a long story." Mu Jingyu was just about to pull Qin Yunchuan to talk in detail, but he noticed the reed in his hand and stamped his feet in annoyance: "Oh, I saw you patronizing me. I was so happy that I almost forgot about the real thing."
"Business?"
Seeing Qin Yunchuan's puzzled eyes, Mu Jingyu quickly pulled out a few reeds and said: "Just now, Yun'er and I went to the foggy poisonous swamp to look for you. But because she couldn't bear the poisonous gas inside, now I'm resting outside. No, I happened to meet you when I was looking for reeds here."
"Is Bi Yun here too? Then what are you waiting for? Let's go find her quickly." Upon hearing this, Qin Yunchuan pulled Mu Jingyu out of the reed swamp, and then under his guidance, he found the place where Bi Yun was resting.
"Jingyu, you have found Brother Qin." After seeing the two people from a distance, Bi Yun hurriedly stood up to greet them. However, she was invaded by poisonous gas in the foggy swamp, and after barely standing up, she could no longer hold on.
"Bi Yun, sit down quickly and let me help you take a look." Qin Yunchuan took three steps at a time and helped Bi Yun sit on the ground. Then he stretched out two fingers and pressed on her wrist, and finally said reassuringly: "Your body is fine. You will be fine after taking the elixir I prepared."
Speaking of which, Qin Yunchuan and the others had stayed in the Misty Poisonous Swamp for several days and were well aware of its toxicity. After his treatment, it didn't take long for Bi Yun to recover as before.
"How are you feeling?" Mu Jingyu asked, looking at Bi Yun's increasingly rosy face.
"Yeah. It's almost healed." Bi Yun stood up and felt much better.
Qin Yunchuan looked at the setting sun and said, "It's getting late. Once it's night, the patrolling members of the Jiuli tribe will pass by here. Follow me and hide inside."
Along the way, Mu Jingyu listened to Qin Yunchuan's general description of the situation here. It turns out that the vigilance in Netherworld Ghost State is not weaker than that in Xihan Yuanzhou. Every two hours, a group of Jiuli tribe members will patrol by here.
During this period of time, Qin Yunchuan and the others had been hiding in the foggy swamp to avoid their whereabouts being exposed. Mu Jingyu also briefly explained what happened in Yukun Palace.
After the two of them finished speaking, they arrived at the reed marsh where Zhou Yan and Su Yingying were hiding.
After passing through the poisonous fog in front of me, the surroundings suddenly became clear. I saw that the place where the reeds were originally had been cleared away long ago. A few people built several simple huts out of plucked reeds, and lit a bonfire in the middle to provide lighting and dispel the severe cold.
And the reason why Qin Yunchuan went elsewhere to pull reeds was precisely because of this.
At this moment, several people who were gathering around the campfire to roast dry food all turned their heads back when they heard the sound.
"Yunchuan, you're finally back. If it's a little later, the delicious food made by Brother Yu will be ready, and you won't be able to eat anything." Zhou Yan smiled with a bit of teasing after seeing Qin Yunchuan.
"Hahaha, Senior Sister Zhou, if you don't leave food for Brother Qin, aren't you afraid that he will sacrifice you to the Five Internal Organs Temple?" Mu Jingyu followed Qin Yunchuan closely, emerged from the mist, and joked.
"Mu Jingyu!" Zhou Yan exclaimed, then his pretty face fell into disarray, and he raised his fist and shouted, "Okay, as soon as you came here, you started to laugh at senior sister, be careful to get beaten."
Bi Yun pinched Mu Jingyu's arm secretly, and then said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, don't be angry, I have already taught him a lesson for you."
