"Okay, let's set off now." Brother Wu said as he took the reins of the horse.
Brother Six also got on his horse, while Mo Jiuye was responsible for guarding Mr. Simeng in the carriage to prevent accidents.
As soon as the carriage started, Xiaobai stood on the top of the carriage and made a grunting sound.
Only then did Mo Jiuye remember that while she was busy interrogating Mr. Simeng, she actually forgot about Xiaobai.
He opened the window of the carriage and let Xiaobai fly in.
Xiaobai stood obediently on his shoulder and kept showing off his power towards Mr. Simeng who was like a dead dog.
While Mo Jiuye laughed, he fed it some food, and then while Mr. Simeng was sleeping, he wrote a letter of safety and tied it to Xiaobai's leg.
The letter was written to He Zhiran, and the general content was to tell him that everything was going well, that he had successfully captured Mr. Simeng, and that he had taken him to the West.
After Xiaobai had eaten and drank enough, he flew to Xiling Village with Mo Jiuye's autographed letter.
The three brothers had a smooth journey. In order to reach the Western Territory as soon as possible, they kept on going as long as they still had some energy left.
At such a speed, they finally reached the Western Territory eleven days later.
After all, it is a city where the border gate is located. The guards at the city gate will be relatively strict, and a few officers and soldiers will check the people coming and going.
Today, Mr. Simeng is extremely weak. If he hadn't died, the brothers wouldn't even want to give him a bite of food.
However, with such a scarred person in the carriage, he would definitely not be able to pass the interrogation in front of the city gate, and might even cause a lot of trouble.
Sixth Brother asked worriedly: "Ninth Brother, what should I do?"
Mo Jiuye looked at the people queuing up to enter the city.
"Let's line up first, and I'll go to the front to take care of things."
Everyone knows that money can make the world go round, but Mo Jiuye doesn't believe that those officers and soldiers don't like money.
Taking advantage of the time when the carriages were queuing up, Mo Jiuye quickly came to the officers and soldiers, with a very anxious look on his face.
When the officers and soldiers saw a man running towards them, they thought he was going to forcefully break through the city gate, so they quickly raised their weapons to stop him.
"What are you doing? If you want to go into the city, just queue up."
Mo Jiuye didn't care about the silver, as long as he could enter the city smoothly.
So, while the officers and soldiers were asking, he took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into their hands.
Then he pointed to the carriage at the back of the queue and said, "My family is seriously ill and I am in a hurry to go to the city to see a doctor. Do you think you can be accommodating?"
The moment the officers and soldiers got the money, they were already elated.
Judging from the size of the ingots, it can be determined that there are as many as five taels, which is his five months' military pay.
The officers and soldiers immediately changed their faces, and their attitude could be said to be a 180-degree turn.
"It's important to see a doctor, don't delay."
After saying that, he quickly dispersed the people blocking the passage in front of the door to one side, making way for the carriage to pass.
The carriage entered the city smoothly and headed straight to the hillock that Mr. Simeng mentioned.
Although there are few people there, Dashun's army is stationed nearby.
There must be someone in the army who recognizes their brothers, and they must be careful not to reveal their identity.
Therefore, the brothers decided to find a place farther away from the military camp to go up the mountain.
Of course, there must be one person left to guard Mr. Simeng. If the location he mentioned is wrong, the brothers can continue to interrogate him.
Although Mo Jiuye knew something about Gu magic, he only knew some principles and was not very clear about the details.
Especially for puppet Gu, it is impossible to figure out how to control time.
Mr. Simeng, that old guy is very cunning and can't tell the truth at all.
Logically speaking, when Mo Jiuye and others entered the Western Territory, they should first search for the whereabouts of Third Brother and others to see if they found any clues.
But considering the control time of the puppet Gu mother Gu, Mo Jiuye didn't dare to be careless at all.
It has been half a month since they captured Mr. Simeng, and took away all his gu insects, and even took out the natal gu from his body.
In other words, Mr. Simeng has not given orders to the puppet Gu's carrier for at least half a month. He is worried that if time goes by, his father and brother will starve to death due to lack of mobility.
Therefore, he decided not to look for the third brother for the time being, but to search for the whereabouts of his father, eldest brother, and second brother according to the location mentioned by Mr. Simeng.
As long as he successfully found someone, he could follow his wife's method to remove the puppet poison from their bodies. Saving his life was the most important thing.
In the end, the brothers discussed and decided that the fifth brother was more careful and stayed at the foot of the mountain to look after Mr. Simeng, while Mo Jiuye and the sixth brother went up to the sixth hill of Xiaoqiu Mountain.
Mo Jiuye looked at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon time.
Although Xiaoqiu Mountain is composed of various small hills, if you want to reach the sixth hill, you must climb the first five.
From a distance, the hills are not that big, but if you walk, they are still very far away.
Fortunately, Mo Jiuye and Sixth Brother were both highly skilled in martial arts. The two brothers used light kung fu all the way and crossed five hills in almost an hour.
As soon as the sixth hill comes into view, it feels really different from the others.
On the other hills, there is some distance between the trees, so it does not block the view very much when looking from a distance.
However, the sixth hill is quite different. At first glance, the entire hilltop is covered in lush green. Not only can no road be seen, but even the nearby ground is covered with a thick layer of moss.
The birds that come and go will choose to take a detour when they get here, which shows how dangerous this hill is.
Judging from experience, this is the place where snakes, insects, rats and ants are most infested. Once people walk in, they really don’t know what dangers they will encounter.
Brother Six took out the dagger from his body and held it in his palm.
"Ninth brother, I'm going to open the way ahead." He planned to cut through all the obstacles and carve out a path.
Mo Jiuye knew in his heart that under such circumstances, this was the only way to do it.
So, he also took out the dagger and held it in his palm. However, he did not act immediately. Instead, he took out a packet of realgar powder from his arms and sprinkled it on himself and Sixth Brother.
Only in this way can we effectively avoid the invasion of snakes, insects and other poisons after entering the jungle.
It's important to save your father and brother, but if you can't guarantee your own safety, how can you save others?
After looking at each other firmly, the two brothers headed towards the jungle step by step.
The two of them cooperated very well, one on the left and the other on the right, cutting away the thorns blocking the way, while also keeping alert at all times, paying attention to snakes and insects that might appear under their feet.
Fortunately, Mo Jiuye sprinkled realgar powder on the two of them. The poisonous snakes they encountered along the way automatically moved away after smelling the smell.
Because of this, the brothers entered the sixth hill smoothly in the early stages.
Even the few poisonous snakes that were not afraid of the taste of realgar were killed by the brothers with quick eyes and hands.
