Hearing Yandian Guo's call, Gu and Xiao jumped up and saw Yandian Guo squatting in the snow from a distance, as if they had discovered a new clue.
Before the two people who arrived could speak, Yandian Guo raised his head and asked, "Brother Mu, you said we are looking for two people, a young man and a young lady, yes or no."
After receiving a positive reply from the young man, Yandianguo pointed to the ground and said, "It seems that time has passed not long ago. Although these footprints were deliberately covered up, they cannot escape my eyes. As long as you look carefully, you can find them." , there are about three people with footprints, the girl is light and has shallow footprints, the other two have deeper footprints, they should be men, it seems that the person Brother Mu is looking for is among them."
The young man frowned and stared, but could not see any footprints left behind. However, he knew that Yandianguo was one of the Mohists who was good at tracking. Without going into further details, he asked: "Brother Chi Xin said that besides Mr. Yun, There is one more person."
Yandianguo said firmly: "Yes, based on my many years of tracking experience, I can't be wrong. In addition to the young man and the girl that Brother Mu is looking for, there is at least one man accompanying him."
The young man's eyes moved slightly: "It seems that this person is the one who took Young Master Yun and Mo Sicheng away from the Beacon Tower...Brother Chi Xin, can you tell how long they have been gone?"
Taking a closer look at the thickness of the snow on the footprints on the ground, Yanteng Guo thought for a moment, raised his head and replied, "About two or three hours."
Following the faint footprints, the young man held the armor scales in his hand and said, "Brother Chixin, now that we have found the footprints, can we stop looking for the clues left by Miss Mo?"
Yantou Guo affirmed: "Yes."
"Then let's set off immediately, please help Brother Chixin lead the way..."
Before the word "road" came out of the boy's mouth, he only heard a faint roar coming from the mountain. Although the roar was still immature, the moment it came, the young man was startled and looked sideways at Jiang Ningxue beside him, with those cold eyes. Zhong was also surprised. After looking at each other for a moment, the two of them spoke in unison.
"Liger!"
Yes, although this roar was childish, it was indeed unforgettable for Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue.
"He Ji!" Gu Xiao almost blurted out the moment he heard the roar of the liger cub. Gu Xiao immediately thought of He Zhidao's son who escaped from the mountains behind Hejiabao with the liger cub.
"Why is He Ji here? Could it be that he is the one who kidnapped Mr. Yun and Miss Mo?" The young man murmured to himself.
Jiang Ningxue seemed to have noticed the doubts in the young man's heart, and said, "If we catch up, we will understand. If it is really He Ji, wouldn't it be just right to capture him and take back the liger cub for Miss Feng?"
Awakened by Jiang Ningxue's words, the young man said, "That's right, brother Chixin, please lead the way. We'll set off now."
Yantou Guo nodded and stood up, and the three of them used Qing Kung Fu to the north one after another and continued to chase. The roar of the liger cub gradually spread further and further away.
This roar reached a secret place in the forest, and reached the ears of two people who were sitting cross-legged. The young man sitting cross-legged in front of them was dressed in snow clothes. The fine beads of sweat on his face had already condensed into ice, and there were still dried beads on the corners of his lips. There are bloodstains, and the two long-bearded men behind him are removing the true energy from their palms and withdrawing their internal strength.
It seems that the palm of the young cook in the army really caused the young man in snow clothes to suffer a lot. Fortunately, there are experts accompanying him to help him heal his wounds with his strong internal strength, otherwise he may not be able to see the morning light today.
Hearing this faint roar, he opened his eyes suddenly. The fatigue in his eyes swept away, and he said to the old man with two long beards behind him: "Thank you very much, Elder Xu. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have killed Gao Deng." .”
The old man dispersed the technique, stroked his beard and said, "Young master, you are serious. Xu has been appreciated by the sect master and the young master, so he should do his best."
"Our people..." The fatigue dissipated and turned ruthless. Thinking that he was being teased, Mr. Xueyi seemed to be unwilling to accept it. Thinking of the dozens of experts he had brought, he asked with hatred. road.
Seeing the old man shaking his head slightly, he knew the fate of the master in the sect. His eyes narrowed slightly and he continued to speak: "We need to inform our father as soon as possible that Gao Deng has betrayed us. Let our father be careful about his brother. Let's go back first..."
Not to mention the defeat of Wei Xie and the dozens of masters in the sect, he followed the young sect leader northward and accomplished nothing. If he returned just like that, wouldn't he make other elders in the sect laugh at him?
After thinking about quitting, Xu Mo thought about Xiao Jiujiu. His mind moved slightly, he made up his mind and said, "Young Master, Xu has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Only then did Xu Mo save his life. How could Wang Heng not listen? However, at this time, his heart was already in a state of confusion. He hurriedly said: "Elder Xu has been kind to me in saving my life. Is there anything I shouldn't say, but it doesn't matter. "
Xu Mo saw Wang Heng's masterless look and naturally knew the young man's state of mind at this moment. He thought for a moment, suppressed the desire in his eyes, and persuaded: "The young master is going north this time, not to mention bringing so many people from the sect with him." You are good, and Wei Xie and I are with you. If we go back like this, not only will we disappoint the sect master, but also what will the other sword-guarding elders in the sect think of the young sect master."
Xu Mo's words hit the weak spot that worried Wang Heng the most. He left the Golden Knife Sect with his people in a mighty manner. If he just escaped back to the gate like this, it would be as Xu Mo said, and everyone in the Golden Knife Sect would look down upon him. , how to convince the public in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, weighed one and two, stood up quickly, cupped his fists and bowed to Xu Mo: "Please teach me, Elder Xu."
Seeing that his words had impressed the young sect leader, Xu Mo secretly rejoiced. His words to persuade Wang Heng just now were not only related to Wang Heng, but also to himself. When he saw Wang Heng clasping his fists in salute, he pretended to be worried on his face. , quickly stood up to avoid Wang Heng and saluted, and at the same time took action to support Wang Heng's arm.
"Young master, no. Since the master has ordered Xu to help the young master achieve his goal, I will naturally do my best."
Seeing Xu Mo dodge, Wang Heng just said that it was Xu Mo who was unwilling to help. He was anxious and worshiped again: "Elder Xu has come to our Golden Sword Sect to help my father create this kind of foundation. He can be regarded as the elder of our Golden Sword Sect." , is also my elder, Wang Heng, how could Elder Xu be willing to watch Wang Heng escape back to the door like a lost dog, and be ridiculed by his disciples?"
Xu Mo held Wang Heng's arm, with a flash of pride in his eyes, but a look of hesitation on his face. He glanced at Mr. Xueyi's expectant eyes from the corner of his eye, and knew that whatever he said now would be heard by him, so he immediately sighed heavily, He asked tentatively: "Is it possible, Master, that you want to continue?"
Hearing a hint of relief from Xu Mo's tone, Wang Heng was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Wang Heng wants to complete what his father asked, and he also asked the elders to help me. When he comes back, I will recommend Elder Xu in front of his father." Sit as the leader of Zhuque Pavilion."
Hearing this, Xu Mo suppressed the joy in his heart, his face straightened, and he said, "Okay, since the young sect leader has such great ambitions, then Xu Mo will be shattered into pieces, and he will help the young master succeed."
When Wang Heng saw Xu Mo agreeing, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, with the help of Elder Xu, we can definitely make it happen."
Xu Mo asked: "Young master, since you want to continue to act, what is the next step?"
With Xu Mo by his side, Wang Heng made up his mind and said to himself: "I had originally thought of using Gao Deng's straw bag as a cover to invade Mo County, find Yang Huchen, and seize the picture from him. , and then wiped out Mo Jun's mouth, without knowing it, when will he go to investigate He Ji's whereabouts and send him out of Yanbei, the matter will be settled... But now, Elder Wei is dead, and Yang Huchen is also I don’t know my whereabouts..."
Having said this, Wang Heng turned his gaze to Xu Mo with a pleading look: "I am in confusion at the moment. From Elder Xu's perspective, I don't know what to do next."
Xu Mo seemed to have a plan in mind, he thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "As the young sect leader said, Gao Deng has defected. The first thing is to inform the sect leader first and take precautions, and then try to find the whereabouts of the picture. , as for what season the young master said..."
Wang Heng heard Xu Mo's unhurried tone, saw his hesitation, and said eagerly: "Elder Xu, it's okay to just say it."
"In the raid on the garrison, Yanbei lost all its manpower. Don't you forget, Young Master, that we still have those men in Yanbei City in our hands."
Hearing this, Wang Heng's eyes lit up. That's right, he almost forgot that those members of the Golden Blade Sect disguised as Jin's Rangers were still lurking in Yanbei City. Although several Tao brothers were killed this time, Most of the men were still alive, so they immediately said, "What Elder Xu said is true. It's just that if Gao Deng comes here, the whole army will come to search. How are we going to escape?"
Xu Mo lightly twirled his beard and continued: "The Yanbei Mountains are so mountainous that, not to mention the mere patrolling troops, even if the Yanbei Qi Yun Army were all out, it would be difficult to reach the sky to find you and me. Besides, there is an old man by the young master's side.
, Young Master, what else do you have to worry about? They only thought that we would go south, but they never expected that we would go north in the opposite direction. "
Wang Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Elder Xu's plan is so quick...it's just..."
Of course Xu Mo knew what Wang Heng was hesitating about, and immediately said: "He Ji is going to leave the customs, and naturally he has to enter Yanbei City. We just need to arrive first and wait for He Ji to arrive. As for that picture, we have the manpower. It’s never too late to try to find him.”
Wang Heng nodded, and now he could only act according to Xu Mo's method. Thinking of his father's worries, he couldn't help but ask: "Then Yi deposed..."
"Don't worry, Young Master, let's go to Yanbei first and send people to find out his whereabouts. I will naturally leave the rest to me." Xu Mo said respectfully.
"Okay, since the elders have already made plans, let's set off and rush to Yanbei City."
——
He Ji escaped from the space where the masked man exerted his inner strength and seemed to be condensing. He lay on the ground and gasped. Unexpectedly, the man was actually a master in the realm of knowing the heaven. After a while, he calmed down a little. He looked at the masked man in front of him and slowly He spoke slowly: "You said you wanted to help me, how could I believe you?"
The masked man's palm moved slightly, and the knife in his hand that seemed to be the King of Hell's death disappeared out of thin air. He looked at He Ji who was lying on the ground panting, but did not speak. He looked sideways at He Ji, who had exhausted all his energy in his sword realm and fell into a deep sleep. The liger slowly walked away, reached out and grabbed the back of the liger's neck, gently lifted it, and looked at it carefully.
Seeing the masked man approaching the liger, He Ji was worried. He wanted to get up to protect him, but he didn't expect that he couldn't use any strength. He watched him mention the liger and couldn't help but become more anxious, not to mention the liger cub. It was his father who sacrificed his life for it. Just now, when he fought against the masked man, the liger actually protected him...
Humans are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless? After getting along with each other these days, especially after feeding the ligers with their own internal strength, the man and the beast struggled to go north. Invisibly, He Ji had already regarded the liger cubs as pets. Now I don’t know how to treat the masked person, so I am naturally anxious.
Although he knew he was outmatched, He Ji still stood up tremblingly, trying to use his strength to attack again. However, he saw the masked man slightly flicking his hand holding the liger, and a ball of snow-white came straight towards him.
Subconsciously taking action, He Ji felt that his hand was heavy. He looked down and saw that the liger cub in his arms was safe and sound. He was lying in his arms and sleeping soundly. He quickly looked up and saw the sharp eyes of the masked man, and in his heart He thought to himself: "He has no desire to covet ligers, so why should he help me? Is it because he has an old relationship with his father? No, I have never heard my father mention this person..."
He Ji was thinking hard and couldn't figure it out, but he was the masked man. His eyes moved slightly, past He Ji, and looked straight at the young man and woman behind him, until they landed on Qi Tao's face, the smile on his eyes and mouth reappeared...
