"I've met Hall Master Jiao!" Xue Yun winked at Bai Xiao and others and quickly stepped forward, bowing and saluting.
"I've met Hall Master Jiao!" Bai Xiao and the others quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Compared to Bai Xiao, the others were obviously a little nervous when they lowered their heads.
Xue Yun said before that under normal circumstances, there are only thirty guards here, one of whom is a deacon-level guard.
But now Hall Master Jiao suddenly appeared, and it seemed that there were more than thirty people here, at least sixty or seventy.
This suddenly completely disrupted their plans.
"Hmph! Did you see Du Mu and the others on your way back?" Hall Master Jiao looked at everyone casually and asked Xue Yun.
"Deacon Du? No! Have they also gone out to perform tasks?" Xue Yun asked with a confused look on his face.
"It shouldn't be! They just left in the morning. Logically speaking, they should have just left Changqiu City by now!" Hall Master Jiao also looked confused at this time.
"This is normal. Maybe he left through other gates when we first entered the city," Xue Yun said.
"Impossible! Do you know what mission he took?" Hall Master Jiao denied.
"What mission?"
"Similar to you, if we arrest Cheng Yu, how could he leave through other city gates?" Hall Master Jiao said.
"The same mission as us? Haven't we already accepted the mission?" Xue Yun said.
"You? Do you know how long it has been? Have you completed your mission now? Did you kill Cheng Yu or capture him alive?" Hall Master Jiao asked disdainfully.
Obviously, he didn't believe that Xue Yun could complete the task at all.
"I..." Xue Yun was speechless. He really couldn't answer this.
However, if he knew that Cheng Yu was by his side, what would his expression be like?
Of course, now there is a bigger trouble.
The appearance of Hall Master Jiao disrupted their plans. He didn't know what Cheng Yu planned to do now, so he was anxious.
"Hmph! The foreign king already knew that you couldn't catch Cheng Yu, so he sent Du Mu and others to support you, but you ran back first. What on earth is going on?" Hall Master Jiao continued.
"Hall Master Jiao, you can't blame us. This Cheng Yu is really too powerful. Even Deacon Song has lost his life because of this. We can only come back for help!" At this time, Bai Xiao stood up and replied.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash, how can Cheng Yu still have three heads and six arms? Now that he's back, follow me to see Elder Leng!" Hall Master Jiao said.
"This..." Xue Yun was shocked. If he went to see Elder Leng now, wouldn't it be even more chaotic?
"Is there any problem?" Hall Master Jiao said with a cold face.
"We have been traveling all the way, and it seems inappropriate to go see Elder Leng like this. I want to go back and wash up first, and it would be more appropriate to change my clothes and see Elder Leng again!" Xue Yun's mind changed and he said.
"Elder Leng is very concerned about Cheng Yu's matter. Now that he is back, go see him as soon as possible and explain the situation clearly. Why are there so many false politenesses!" Hall Master Jiao said.
"Hall Master Jiao, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not!" Just when Xue Yun was in a dilemma about how to refuse, Bai Xiao spoke again.
"What's the matter?" Hall Master Jiao looked at Bai Xiao and frowned.
He especially disliked people who didn't understand dignity. When he was talking to the deacon, it was a young disciple's turn to speak.
However, he also wants to hear what the other party has to say first. If it's not something important, it's not too late to get angry!
"I didn't think about it before, but when I heard Hall Master Jiao just say that Deacon Du also led the mission out, it reminded me of a strange thing we encountered on the road when we came back." Bai Xiao said.
"What's weird? Come on, tell me!" Hall Master Jiao obviously didn't like seeing this disciple playing tricks.
"It's like this. Not more than a few hundred miles east of Changqiu City, we saw several corpses! If they were just ordinary corpses, it would be fine. But the problem is, these corpses are from our outer dynasty. And we found these identity tokens on them." Bai Xiao said and took out a few tokens.
"This...is this our eagle token?" Hall Master Jiao was shocked when he saw that there was an eagle on the token.
The eagle pattern represents that the person's identity belongs to the foreign king's lineage.
Although Xue Yun was not his, but belonged to another hall master, Feng Lin, they were all directly affiliated to the Waiwang clan, so their identity tokens were all eagle tokens.
Now the token that Bai Xiao took out was the Eagle token, which showed that the corpses they encountered were from their department.
"Exactly. We were still very surprised before and didn't know why they died there. But now I heard Hall Master Jiao say that Deacon Du led people out, I wonder if these corpses are theirs?" Bai Xiao said.
"This...should be impossible. If something happened to them, they should have come back long ago. But now that you have all come back and you haven't seen them, it shouldn't be them!" Hall Master Jiao thought. Want to say.
"But they all hold eagle cards. I just don't know if anyone else among us has left Waichao during this period?" Bai Xiao said.
"No, except for you two groups, no one from the hawks has left in the past few months. Of course, we don't have any here, but we don't know about the other side!" At this time, the guard deacon Gao Feng stood up and said.
"There shouldn't be. We really haven't sent anyone else during this time!" Thinking of this, Hall Master Jiao became more and more convinced that these corpses might be related to Du Mu and the others.
"Oh! By the way, now that I heard what everyone said, I remembered that this thing does seem to belong to Deacon Du!" Just when Hall Master Jiao was hesitant to say goodbye, Xue Yun looked at Bai Xiao and suddenly realized Come here and quickly take out a bunch of tassels.
"This is..." Hall Master Jiao's eyes tightened even more when he saw this thing.
This string of tassels is not an ordinary string of tassels. There is an earthy yellow crystal stone on it, which is obviously used to enhance the power of the magic weapon.
"Hallmaster Jiao, does this look like the thing on Deacon Du's pair of big hammers?" Xue Yun asked.
"That's right, this is the tassel on the crescent hammer, which can increase the power of the magic weapon by 10%. I didn't expect that this thing would be picked up by you. Could it be that something happened to him?" Hall Master Jiao's expression changed.
"Hall Master Jiao, I think if this thing really belongs to Deacon Du, then they are very likely to have been attacked.
But we searched, and although we found a lot of corpses, we didn't find Deacon Du and the others. We only found a bunch of tassels like this, which shows that their lives may not be in danger.
It's just that they were attacked but didn't come back, which also means that they may be in trouble. So if we rush over at this time, we may still be able to find them or save them! "Bai Xiao said.
"Yes, that makes sense! Then I will report to Elder Leng now, and I will take some people to see the situation!" Hall Master Jiao nodded, feeling that what Bai Xiao said was quite reasonable.
"Hall Master Jiao, we are just going to check the situation now. It is not appropriate to bring too many people. What's more, Deacon Du and the others may be in critical condition now, and every moment is important to them. If we wait until we call people together, I'm afraid Du Archdeacon and the others missed the best rescue opportunity!" Bai Xiao quickly explained.
"That's true, but I only brought thirty people with me now. Isn't that too few people? More than a thousand of them were attacked, which shows that there are quite a few of them." Hall Master Jiao frowned.
"What does this matter? We still have more than a hundred people here!" Bai Xiao said.
"You? Aren't you going to see Elder Leng?" Hall Master Jiao said.
"You can do anything to see Elder Leng, but Deacon Du and the others may not be able to hold on for long. Besides, if we don't go, how will Hall Master Jiao find a place?" Bai Xiao said.
"That's fine! With more than a hundred of you, it should be enough. Xue Yun, do you have any objections?" Hall Master Jiao looked at Xue Yun and said.
Now he has a good impression of Bai Xiao, and even appreciates him a little.
At least he is much better than this Xue Yun. You have to pay close attention to him in the future. Maybe you can arrange this person under you in the future.
"Hall Master Jiao said, I don't have any objections. I will take people to follow Hall Master Jiao right now." Xue Yun somewhat guessed what Cheng Yu wanted to do.
Now that he has spoken, he will definitely follow Cheng Yu's lead. As long as everything is done as he says, it will definitely be what Cheng Yu wants.
"Very good! If we really rescue Du Mu and the others this time, then I will ask Hall Master Feng to take credit for you. Even if you don't catch Cheng Yu, I can still ask Elder Leng for mercy on your behalf." Hall Master Jiao felt much more comfortable when he saw that Xue Yun had taken the initiative this time.
To be honest, if Xue Yun and the others are willing to go, it is indeed the best.
Not only did it save him time, but if there was an accident and they died, it would not be his people, but Feng Lin's people. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
"Thank you, Hall Master Jiao!" Xue Yun suddenly showed great joy on his face!
"Palace Master Jiao, do I need to report this matter to the superiors?" Seeing them leaving, Gao Feng quickly followed and asked.
"No need for the moment. If we haven't come back in three days, then you can report to the superiors and bring people to support!" Hall Master Jiao thought for a while and said.
This is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds, not just for Xue Yun and the others.
If something really happened to Du Mu and the others, and when he rescues them, Elder Leng will definitely record him with a meritorious deed, and even becoming the main hall master is not impossible.
So how could he give up such a good thing to others!
Go and check the situation yourself first, unless you really have no choice.
However, he didn't feel that there was really nothing he could do. He is the deputy hall leader of Baiyang Waichao, and his strength is profound, which is not comparable to ordinary people.
For an archdeacon like Du Mu, even ten of them would be no problem. Just because the enemy can hurt Du Mu doesn't mean he can be compared with him!
