Tian Mang was telling about the recent changes in the court. Suddenly someone came and saw Gu Shengchao was present. He said nothing and just pointed at the tent of Yan Yifan, the owner of Baixian Village.
"Brother Gu, later." Tian Mang said, got up and ran over with others.
Gu Shengchao noticed that there were many people outside the camp, and they seemed to be worried about something.
After a long time, Tian Mang returned tiredly.
He sat on the straw mat, beat his legs, and whispered: "Brother Gu is not an outsider. I will tell you the truth. The prince we protect, Yang Jimin, was poisoned at some point. He has been overworked these past few days and has been feeling unwell. We are also telling the truth." You can only use your true energy to temporarily delay the disease."
"As a dignified prince and a former prince, can't you hire a good doctor for diagnosis and treatment?" Gu Shengchao didn't know the specific situation of Xileng Kingdom.
Tian Mang sighed: "Although Yang Jimin was demoted from the crown prince to a commoner, after all, the power behind him still exists. There are too many people who want him to die, and the black hands behind it are hard to detect. It is said that we have experienced many disasters before we took over to protect him. Assassination is too difficult."
Gu Shengchao thought of Baili Huan and said casually: "My sworn brother is a master of detoxification. It's a pity that in the Dawu Dynasty, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of nearby people."
Tian Mang said in surprise: "Well, according to our people's reports, someone made a special trip to invite a miracle doctor from the Dawu Dynasty. He is on the way here. He couldn't be your adopted brother!"
Gu Shengchao chuckled and said, "It would be such a coincidence if that's the case."
"I hope it's him!" Gu Shengchao lay down. He was thinking about Brother Yi, and he didn't know how far the relationship between Baili Huan and Xiang Hongji had developed.
The team protected the deposed prince Yang Jimin and moved forward cautiously. Even if it took more time to detour, there would never be any conflict with the court, ensuring concealment and safety on the march.
Tian Mang was familiar with the terrain. Under his leadership, he gradually moved away from the control of the imperial court and got closer and closer to Phoenix Castle.
After bypassing the last town in Xileng Kingdom, Gu Shengchao followed Yan Yifan and continued to protect Yang Jimin's march, while Tian Mang led some people to go back and forth between the town and the team to provide daily supplies.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, these seven things are indispensable when opening the door.
For a team of hundreds of people, basic needs such as food, drink, and diarrhea every day are a lot of consumption. The further away from the town, the more important supplies become.
That evening, when the team was stationed, Tian Mang also led the team back to the station.
While everyone was busy unloading the goods, one person suddenly exclaimed: "Xiao San, where has Xiao San gone?"
"I even chatted with him a few words when we left the city. He must be in the motorcade. Did he hide in a car and fall asleep?" Someone came over and said disapprovingly.
"Xiao San, Xiao San." Someone shouted loudly, but no one responded.
Tian Mang also felt strange: "I definitely didn't abandon him. I saw him on the way back."
After all the goods were unloaded and every car was rummaged through, there was no trace of the mistress.
Everyone searched separately, but there was no trace of him in the entire camp. It was as if a large living person had disappeared out of thin air.
In the evening, Tian Mang summoned everyone who was transporting goods this time and asked everyone to tell the place where they last saw Xiao San.
Everyone said something to each other, and based on everyone's information, the place where Xiaosan was last seen was about ten miles away from the camp.
The driver said: "The mistress told me to wait for the next car. He said he had discussed it with the people in the next car and planned to have a few drinks in the evening, so he got out of my car."
The people in the latter car also admitted that they left town to have some loose drinks and did have plans to drink.
However, they did not see Xiao San and thought he had returned to the camp long ago.
Because the distance between vehicles on the road is relatively close, it is convenient for each other to protect and take care of each other. Only when they are about to return to the camp, everyone relaxes and gallops back as fast as possible.
As a result, the distance between vehicles increases, and it is impossible to ensure that everyone is within sight.
"I'm going to look for you. Don't get lost and never come back. It's not safe when wild beasts roam around at night." Tian Mangxing
Urgent, get up and walk out.
Gu Shengchao followed up and said, "I'll accompany you. My mount has good stamina and can run long distances."
The rest of the people wanted to follow, but Tian Mang stopped him: "It's dark and I can't see the road clearly. I've already lost one of them. We must not make any more mistakes. It's enough to have Brother Gu accompanying us."
The two of them rode out of the camp and searched along the way they came.
In the vast dusk, there was no trace of anyone anywhere. After searching for a long time, I found nothing.
The ancient sage's super perception was astonishing, but even so, except for the two of them, no one's aura could be found.
A big living person just disappeared without any reason.
When the two returned to their station, they were both unhappy.
Fortunately, the next few days went relatively smoothly and we successfully found Phoenix Castle.
Gu Shengchao has Sima Xicheng's spiritual consciousness in his mind. He is very familiar with every plant and tree here, but he cannot tell others.
He first came to the deep pit where he met Sima Xicheng.
The magic vines inside had long since withered and turned into dust and blended into the soil.
That terrifying big-headed monster will never exist again.
Tian Mang and others saw the stone tablet standing on the martial arts field in the center of the castle. The text on it recorded that the magic vines caused people to hallucinate. He immediately led a group of people to set fire to the magic vines and weeds inside and outside the castle to avoid falling into the image again. In the same hallucination.
Strangely enough, since Sima Xicheng's death, the number of magic vines has decreased sharply. There are withered branches everywhere, and it is difficult to see living magic vines.
Therefore, it was particularly easy to burn, and there were blazing fires everywhere inside and outside Phoenix Fort.
While everyone was busy, a miserable cry came from a relatively well-preserved house in the castle:
"Ghost, ghost!"
Gu Shengchao was nearby. He jumped over and encountered a person running towards him in panic.
"Brother, where is the ghost?" Gu Shengchao stopped him and asked.
The man turned pale with fright, pointed to an open house at the back and trembled: "Over there, mistress, ghost."
From his incoherent words, Gu Shengchao vaguely felt that it was related to the mistress who disappeared last time.
At this time, people who came after hearing the news crowded in the alley.
Gu Shengchao waved his hand: "Let's go and take a look."
It's not that he's afraid, but that with many people witnessing it, he can avoid a lot of unknown troubles.
After all, he was a new member, and he was not from the West Cold Country, so it was easy for others to misunderstand him.
Approaching the open door, although there was only a simple small bed made of wooden boards, it was clean and tidy, and it was obviously occupied.
There was a person lying on the ground, his skin exposed through his robe was all pale, and his eyes were wide open as if he had seen something terrifying.
There was a wound in his throat, and the flesh was turned outwards. It was evident that something had bitten it open and sucked out the blood.
"It's a vampire, there really is a ghost."
"This is a forbidden place. We shouldn't be here. Why don't we leave."
Everyone was talking and talking, and they all looked frightened.
Whenever there was the slightest movement, I would look over in fear, fearing that something terrible would suddenly appear.
