When Moti woke up, he only remembered that he was knocked back and stunned by the opponent's move. He quickly looked up and saw that the masked man was facing away from him at the moment. He thought to himself that this was a good opportunity to secretly use his internal strength. , was about to get up, but was gently pressed down by a hand stretched out from the side.
Looking sideways, he saw that Mr. Yun had woken up at some point. He was holding himself down and shaking his head gently, indicating that he should not act rashly. Mo Ti did not want to give up this rare opportunity to take action easily, so he gave him a confused look, but he got Mr. Yun's eyes were still filled with denial, so he had no choice but to give up. Just as he was dissipating the energy condensed in his dantian, he heard the masked man with his back to him speak first. .
Only then did Mo Ti understand why Mr. Yun had stopped him from taking action. The masked man had long since discovered that the two of them had woken up, so he took action rashly, only to be repelled by the opponent again. Thinking of this, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Mr. Yun. Eyes.
When Qi Tao woke up, he already knew in his heart that the masked man had no murderous intention towards the two of them. He knew his identity, but he didn't know what he wanted to use him to do. Now Qi Tao no longer thought about escaping, but instead I want to go with these two people and find out what this masked man is going to do.
Just when he was hesitating whether to test her with words again, the masked man with his back to the two of them continued to speak: "You heard what I just said."
Qi Tao's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment, he responded: "Not bad."
"I have used my inner strength to help you get rid of the wind and cold on your body. As for this girl, she is a martial arts practitioner, so there is no serious problem." After saying this, the masked man ignored the two people behind him and looked at each other, and said no more. I just stared at the sunset, wondering what I was thinking.
Qi Tao was about to continue speaking, but he saw that the masked man had raised his hand to stop, and looked back behind the two of them. After a while, there was a sound in the forest, and a figure had penetrated into the forest where several people were living.
The man came with one arm and a wooden box on his back. His messy clothes had long been replaced by clean robes. After entering the forest, his eagle eyes first looked at the young man in brocade and the girl in brown armor sitting in the snow. The person is still the same as before he left, with a look of caution, and the anxiety of rushing back has finally subsided a little.
No longer worrying about these two people, He Ji immediately spoke: "Senior, I have prepared everything. The carriage is outside the forest. We can leave at any time."
Hearing this, the masked man looked away from the setting sun and said calmly: "Okay, just keep an eye on these two people. I'll be back as soon as I can."
He Ji's eyes suddenly became alert: "Senior, this is..."
Seeing this, the masked man smiled coldly, his sleeves trembling slightly, and dozens of brown-red armor scales fell on the ground in the snow: "If there are people who are good at tracking, they will definitely follow the tracks, not to mention, there are There are many clues, let me sort them out."
Looking at the armor scales scattered on the ground, He Ji was shocked and realized. No wonder the two of them took the opportunity to stop on their way last night... It turned out to be malingering. Once these armor fragments were discovered, their whereabouts would be traced. Will be exposed.
In anger, Yingmu suddenly became ruthless, and immediately wanted to teach the two of them a lesson, but was stopped by the masked man: "Don't worry, I have left misleading clues to lead them away... These two people, for You and I are the talismans of De Yanbei. If anything goes wrong between the two of us..."
Awakened by the masked man's words, He Ji's wariness had gone away, and he immediately said: "Thank you, senior, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark by these two little beasts, and what happened next in Yanbei" , all listen to the seniors."
The masked man's single eye moved slightly, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, just keep an eye on these two people. I'll clean up the traces of the future tense."

Seeing that the sun had set, the three of them fell into the forest and stopped for a while. They had been traveling all day and night. The young man could still hold on, but Miss Jiang who was accompanying him had not recovered from her internal injuries. Although she was still looking for the pipe and pot in front of her, There are marks in the snow, but his fatigue can also be seen from his gradually sluggish figure.
Seeing this situation, the young man thought to himself that if he continued chasing like this, even if he caught Mr. Yun and Mr. Yun, if he encountered a difficult enemy, wouldn't it affect Ms. Jiang and Mr. Jiang?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to let the pot in front of him wait for a moment, he saw that the pot in front of him had stopped, so he spoke first: "Brother Mu, wait a moment."
After standing up quickly, Gu Xiao saw the cigarette pot frowning and asked, "Brother Chixin, what are you doing?"
What's going on here. "
I saw Yantou Guo shaking his head again and again, looking around in the snow, and murmuring: "It's strange, the footprints I could find before, and what I can find now, seem... in short, something is getting more and more wrong."
Gu Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Brother Chixin, what do you mean by this?"
Yandianguo couldn't bear it, pointed to a few shallow footprints in the snow, and asked the young man, "Brother Mu, let's see if these footprints are any different from the ones we found before."
Looking at the footprints in the snow, he squinted his eyes and looked around, but found nothing unusual. He frowned and replied, "There is no difference between the three footprints."
But Yantou Guo still shook his head and answered for the young man: "Brother Mu doesn't know the tracking technique, so it's normal to not see the difference...Brother Mu said before that the two people who were kidnapped were not experts, nor were they ordinary people. The first glimpse, not even the first glimpse of the martial arts realm, the footprints discovered previously also confirm what Brother Mu said, but if you look at it now..."
After Yandaiguo's suggestion, the young man discovered the difference between the footprints in the snow and the previous ones. The footprints of three people found previously were of different shades. Looking at it this time, although the number of footprints matched the number of three people, However, the depth of the footprints is the same. If you don't look closely and look closely, you can't see any difference at all if you just follow it with Qinggong.
Without thinking too much, he knew that someone had done this deliberately. The young man couldn't help but shout softly: "No, we fell into a trap."
After saying that, he hurriedly stood up and alerted his surroundings. After a while, he heard that there was only the shuoshuo winter wind in the forest, and there was no ambush. Then he felt relieved and frowned in thought. Could it be that he deliberately left footprints to lead the three of them to pursue this place? He Ji found out.
Seeing the young man's hard thinking, Jiang Ningxue spoke in a cold voice, but with concern: "One person is trying to gauge his shortcomings, and three others are trying to gauge his strengths."
Gu Xiao frowned and nodded, expressing his doubts: "We have lost the trace of Mr. Yun and Mr. Yun. Since the other party wants to cover up their whereabouts, they will definitely not leave any more clues. Judging from the roar of the liger before, Mr. Yun and Mr. Yun were kidnapped. It is probably He Ji who escaped from the mountains behind Hejiabao, but I really can’t figure out why he kidnapped Mr. Yun and Mr. Yun. What’s even more unfathomable is where he would go if he kidnapped them both. place."
The young man expressed his doubts, and the two of them were also deep in thought. He took out the pipe from his waist and took a few puffs. He and Jiang Ningxue came looking for the young man, but Jiang Ningxue had a cold temperament. They didn't talk much, and they didn't know anything about what happened in Hejiabao. They only learned about the changes in Hejiabao from rumors in the world.
Exhaling the smoke, he said tentatively: "Could it be that he has a grudge against that young master?"
When Gu Xiao heard this, he shook his head slightly. He Ji and Mr. Yun, one was in the world and the other was in the temple. How could two people who couldn't fight each other have a grudge?
Jiang Ningxue thought for a while and said, "I still can't figure out why I would take away the liger from Miss Feng at the cost of my own life. Is it just because this strange beast is the legendary immortal mount?" After all, Immortal Burial North is just a legendary figure, none of us have ever met him, and we only know his legend from the mouth of Immortal Mist."
The words of the two people lingered in Gu Xiao's mind and became a mess. He breathed a sigh of relief and tried his best to calm down. He sorted out the fragments of these clues in his mind, hoping to find some clues that could connect these things together.
After going through everything that happened in Hejiabao several times in his mind, including ligers, people from the He family, and legends of immortals, he suddenly remembered that he was killed by Tang Jiu and Master Banbu's He Zhidao in the mountains behind Fengjiabao. After waking up after being stunned by the cross move, He Kui, who was possessed by the remnant soul, once told him about the secret collusion between Hejiabao and the Golden Blade Sect.
The Jindaomen first secretly manipulated Liuzhuang and asked Liu Piaopiao to fake his death to intercept and kill General Wan. Then he colluded with He Zhidao and his son to capture the ligers. Then they went to Yanbei to pretend to be Jin's rangers, robbed the people and attacked the patrols. The army even attacked General Yang, trying to seize the defense map...
After connecting all the things before and after, a flash of light suddenly flashed in the young man's mind: "He Zhidao is dead. Since Hejiabao and Jindaomen secretly colluded, why didn't He Ji go south, but wanted to bring the liger to Yanyan?" In the North Ten Counties, whether it was intercepting General Wan or seizing the defense map, only the ultimate beneficiary is the person who instigated all this..."
After muttering a few words, suddenly enlightened, He Ji looked north and ran away.
, the ten counties of Yanbei are already the northernmost of Qiyun, and further north...
Thinking of this, the young man murmured to himself: "Yanbei City, Northern Jin Dynasty... This all makes sense. If he wants to leave Yanbei City, Mr. Yun is naturally the best candidate. With Mr. Yun as the 'imperial envoy's amulet' , we can send him out of Yanbei safely."
Looking at the footprints that led the three of them away in the snow, his starry eyes flickered and said: "Since he has captured Mr. Yun and Miss Mo, he has no time to separate and use this trick to lure them away. There are others who can create a suspicious formation in the snow. This person...he also has accomplices!"
When Gu Xiao was sure that He Ji still had accomplices, he had no time to think about whether it was the two bandit leaders from the Golden Blade Gate or the masked man who wanted to take Mr. Yun's life. However, with only the light skills of the three of them, he wanted to chase him to Yanbei. Hardly possible.
The road to Yanbei Mountain is difficult to travel. The three of us are not familiar with the terrain of Yanbei. It is better to return to Mo County. I think Brother Yan has already mobilized the patrol troops to arrive. With his help, prepare dry food for the horses and rush to Yanbei. People make the best decisions.
Since He Ji wanted to use Mr. Yun as a hostage to escape from seclusion, he would naturally not harm Mr. Yun's life. Moreover, the people hiding in the mountains and General Yang were still waiting for him. With the patrol troops entering Mo County, they could be protected.
Turning around, he summed up what he had just concluded and calculated in his mind, saying that he and Jiang Ningxue shared the pipe and pot. The two of them felt that this was very good. Time was pressing, so the three of them made an agreement and used Qinggong to turn around and head towards Mo County.
——
More than four thousand patrol troops finally entered Mojun at dusk. Looking at Mojun, which was like a dead city in front of him, there was a hint of unbearable in Gordon's eyes. But then he thought of the secret letter, sighed slightly, and then The order was given: "Tell me, my general, that after entering the city, I will leave a thousand cavalry to guard and make food, while the rest of the troops will go up the mountain to look for people."
"I got the order!" The generals took the order, each led their own troops and horses, lit torches, and left in accordance with the order.
Looking at the pale Xu An beside him, knowing that this upright man endured the pain and followed him all the way, he ordered the soldiers to go to the county guard's office to tidy up, and led more than a hundred riders into the office to rest.
After entering the army, the medical officer who accompanied the army was sent to treat Xu An, the soldiers who had fought fiercely with the Jindaomen soldiers before, until everyone was given medicine and the medical officer said that there was no serious problem, and then they were sent back. Of all the people, only a dozen of his followers were left guarding the hall.
After applying the medicine, Xu An's expression turned slightly. He looked at General Gao, who was grinning in pain as the medical officer removed the fine cloth from his shoulder. He finally couldn't help but wanted to ask a question, but he hesitated when he spoke.
"What's the matter, Lao Xu, my mother-in-law and mother are not your type. It's okay to speak up if you have anything to say." Gao Deng endured the pain in his shoulder and looked at Xu An in the hall. Seeing that he didn't express his displeasure, he couldn't help but ask.
