"What are your niece looking at?"
In a mountain forest, a team of people were making firewood in the forest.
Li Xian took the water bag handed by Wei Mei, raised his head and drank it, and asked the pretty girl in Hongchang standing by the river opposite with curiosity.
Xie Lingjiang stood by the water, turned his head and looked at him, as if he was a little dazzled.
She is tall, with black hair and waist, and her fiery red dress is floating. The sky and night behind her are approaching, and the sunset is bright,
Some are beautiful.
This mountain is rarely visited by people. Since leaving Longcheng County, Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian and his group have been away for two days and one night, sleeping in the open.
Li Guer asked Cai Shou to go to the carriage to get a bunch of bags, and took out a few small secret bags with the fragrance of medicine from it, waved his hand, and let Cai Shou distribute it.
It is prepared in advance to avoid mosquitoes in the wild.
After hearing Li Xian's words, she lowered her eyes slightly, tied a sack around her waist, and said softly:
"If Ouyang Lianghan is here, we will also recommend that we leave first. Every day we wait will have a little more risk.
"Although Master Yuan has calculated for us that this route is safe and safe, this is not a reason for us to relax and carelessly. Besides, if Master Yuan calculates it wrong, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations."
Everyone was a little quiet.
"I know."
Xie Lingjiang turned his head, turned his back to the brilliant sunset, and the bright white silk hand held the sword and walked back to the fire.
Her pretty face turned against the light, and she couldn't see clearly.
Only the voice is heard is elegant and quiet:
"Aunt Zhen and the others didn't see the elder brother, and they were a little uneasy when they left. I don't know where Aunt Zhen and the others were. The road back to Nanlong was a bit far. Fortunately, Thirteen Niang and the others were accompanied."
Li Xian and others and Zhen Shuyuan and other women separated in Huaiye Lane. One continued to sneak back to Beijing, and the other temporarily returned to their hometown in Nanlong.
However, the two groups of people had been waiting in Longcheng County for a day before Ouyang Rong was reluctant to part with him.
"Don't worry, your senior brother is not a reckless person."
Li Juer lowered her eyes and stared at the beating flames, and her lips bent:
"Besides, that girl named Rong Zhen won't hurt him."
Xie Lingjiang said "yes".
By the fire, Li Xian, Li Dalang and others looked at each other, and they all heard that she was absent-minded.
This is the case in this era. The journey is very long, the carriage is very slow, and the risk of walking far is very high. Sometimes, after a farewell,
Maybe it's just for many years, just like an old musician, who has been away from his hometown for many years, and when he thinks about going back, his hair is already gray.
The same is true for husband and wife lovers, many of them are separated from life and death.
Li Xian's family left Jiangzhou where they lived for many years and returned to Luoyang far north. I don't know when it would be when they would return to Jiangzhou again.
Perhaps influenced by Xie Lingjiang, a faint sense of misty melancholy that had not yet come to the future was faintly permeated between Li Xian's family.
However, the people in a daze beside the fire showed different behaviors.
Li Xian and Li Dalang both looked towards Jiangzhou with some nostalgia.
Wei Mei sat upright on the embroidered bench brought by Shunbo, silently looking north to the capital of Shendu.
Li Guer took out a small blue book and browsed it in the fire, which was a little relaxed and light.
Caishou next to him, while grilling fish, took a sneak peek at the book. The book seemed to be about Luoyang scenery. The little maid with a bun face was curious and asked her lady a few whispers from time to time.
Although she was a maid from the Su Mansion, she was loyal and reliable, like Li Guer, Cai Shou had never witnessed the style of Luoyang. Before the resumption of the title of Li Xian, she always thought that she would stay in Longcheng County for the rest of her life. Cai Shou's biological father and mother were the same as Shunbo, and were the guards and maids of Li Xian and his wife, but she had never mentioned the past of Su Mansion to her.
Steps came from beside him.
It was Lu Ya, who returned with some dry firewood.
Xie Lingjiang turned his head and glanced at the small compass he was holding:
"What is this? Why do you see you keep fiddling with me?"
Li Guer spoke:
"It was their contact method for the Taoist priests of the Three Pure Ones. Master Lu was contacting his Senior Brother Zhang, Longhu Mountain. There were two compasses. Before they separated, Master Lu left one for his Senior Brother Zhang."
Lu Ya nodded and said a little embarrassedly:
"This pair of compass was left by the master, divided into Gan Pan and Kun Pan, which can sense each other. Only those from our Three Qing Dao Sects understood it. From the day before yesterday, the compass began to be heard. It was Senior Brother Zhang who was looking for us.
"I asked the prince and the little princess in the afternoon. Both of them agreed to call Senior Brother Zhang. Senior Brother Zhang is a direct descendant of Longhu Mountain, and it is still very reliable."
Xie Lingjiang pursed her lips and said nothing.
at night.
Xie Lingjiang and Lu Ya took turns vigiling.
Li Xian and his family sleep well.
In the second half of the night, Xie Lingjiang finished the vigil and handed it over to Lu Ya.
However, Lu Ya kept fiddling with the compass, turning his head to look at Ye Se from time to time, and he had a paralyzed face and didn't know what he was thinking.
Xie Lingjiang didn't return to the carriage, but closed his eyes and leaned against the tree.
At one moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, as if she was awakened from a dream.
"What's wrong, thank you fellow Taoist?"
Lu Ya put down the compass and asked in confusion.
Xie Lingjiang looked around and found Li Guer was also next to him.
Li Wujiu seemed to be getting up at night, wrapped in a blanket and shawl, chatting with Lu Ya by the bonfire.
Li Guer looked over curiously.
I found that Xie Lingjiang was still confused on his little face, and his lips were whispering softly:
"The elder brother is calling me, he has come here, why don't we--"
At this moment, Lu Ya next to him looked happy:
"Senior Brother Zhang is here."
As soon as the words fell, some movement came from the darkness not far away. Xie Lingjiang turned around and found that a young man was walking in the darkness.
The young man was covered in dust and was holding a small compass in his hand.
"Senior Brother Zhang!"
Lu Ya breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could meet him, Zhang Shixiu had already walked up with a serious face. The first sentence surprised the two women:
"Junior Brother Lu, where is the prince? Are the White Tiger Guards behind guarding the prince? Why are they always following behind? It seems something is wrong."
The three of them were shocked.
Li Guer immediately went to wake up Li Xian and others.
Soon, the morning tranquility of the camp was broken.
Li Xian asked, "Did they find out Master Zhang?"
"No, looking at something wrong with murderous aura, I have bypassed them, they are many people,
There is no one else who can travel quickly.”
Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But I dare not relax.
After hearing Lu Ya describe the appearance of the two leaders of the White Tiger Guards, Xie Lingjiang took a deep breath:
"It's Lee Congshan and Miaozhen. It's true that something is wrong with them. They are always chasing us."
Wei Mei said angrily: "That bitch!"
Li Xian was a little sad, looking back:
"Do you just want to die like this? You are both cousins, why are you here? Why are you here?"
Li Dalang's face muscles trembled, and he took a step forward, and his voice was sonorous: "The more you stop it, the more you show that we are, it is a great threat to their Wei family's capture of the position of the imperial heir, and it also confirms Tanlang's judgment more!"
Xie Lingjiang asked Zhang Shixiu again. When she learned that the two were far apart, she looked around:
"It's less than a hundred miles apart, don't wait for the morning. Let's leave immediately. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time."
Lu Ya suddenly asked:
"We have to figure out how they chased after us first? How did we know our route."
The atmosphere was instantly silent.
From just now, Li Juer, the quietest one, has opened his mouth:
"Two possibilities, one is to track down the breath and other means. Among them, there are experts who can follow clues to find people.
"There is another type of information that is reported by the insider."
As soon as this statement was spoken, especially the latter sentence, it suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Lu Ya glanced at Caishou, Shunbai and other old servants.
Xie Lingjiang looked at Zhang Shixiu in a sideways eyes.
The dull atmosphere was first broken by Li Dalang. His face was surprisingly serious and he set his tone in one sentence:
"It is impossible for an insider to have an insider. Let's not mess up the morale of the army. Now we should think about how to run away instead of internal friction. If Tan Lang is here, he will definitely be disappointed when he sees us like this."
Li Xian also forced a smile and stood up to ease the atmosphere:
"Dalang is right, everyone comes together, I will not doubt it."
Wei Mei frowned and asked, "Then, where should we go next?"
Li Guer looked at the surrounding fires and spoke coldly:
"As usual, we can go on the Raozhou route. Since we can catch up here, we will change the route rashly, which will make them notice their own exposure. Why not use the tricks and pretend not to know? It will also make it easier for us to move out of the escape space silently.
"But we have to hurry up and wait until we reach Shaoyang, the main city of Raozhou, and we can't stop. Let's go, pack up first, set off immediately, put out the fire as usual, don't do it deliberately, we should take all our luggage with us, and we will discuss it on the way."
"good!"
Everyone agreed.
Wei Mei took Shunbo, Caishou and others to pack up and prepare for a trip.
Li Guer suddenly turned around and asked the girl Hongshang again:
"Sister Xie, you said before, Ouyang Lianghan has been found?"
Xie Lingjiang, who was still there, pursed her red lips, and shook her head gently for a while:
"We can't wait for this situation now. We have to hurry up immediately. It's okay. The elder brother can touch the skirt knife, at least it proves that his side is fine, which is a good thing."
Xie Lingjiang said to Li Guer, who was gently lit up his head:
"The first possible thing you said is that if you really have this kind of ability to look for the air, it is that the purple air is master, and we can't escape it. Perhaps the aura of some things on our body was locked by Li Congshan, Miaozhen and the others. They served as the escort of the royal palace for so long, and they should be very familiar with us, and they may have set marks on their daily lives."
Li Guer looked at the carriage luggage and clothes on everyone's body driven out of the royal palace, thinking:
"Master Lu, Master Zhang, Sister Xie, please follow me."
"stop."
In the morning, at a fork in the deep mountains and forests, a young man in white robe raised his hand and clenched his fists, his voice hoarse.
The young general in white robe was led by a cold-faced middle-aged female official next to him, and about three hundred white-armored soldiers were followed behind him.
Hearing the voice of the leading young general, the three hundred white tiger guards instantly stopped their horses and stopped in place, like statues,
Attract several curious birds to land on several shoulders.
Three hundred essence armor, cold and silent, and strict discipline.
Li Congshan turned over and got off the horse, squatted on the ground, twisted the soil, lowered his head and sniffed it.
Miaozhen rode on the horse, looked down at Li Congshan, and asked coldly:
"Which side?"
The latter clapped his hands and pointed to the front right.
"This one on the right."
Li Congshan turned over and continued his journey with Miaozhen.
About half an hour later, they stopped a little by a river and checked the embers of a bonfire.
Not long after this bonfire was extinguished, some waste was scattered around:
In addition to food residues, there are two small tips for herbs and a small blue seal book.
The former seems to be deworming, while the latter seems to be left behind by a knowledgeable young lady.
This type of waste is surrounded by the abandoned bonfires that Li Congshan and others have found several times.
Every time there are a few scattered.
Everyone didn't pay attention.
Li Congshan picked up the soil at a footprint beside the bonfire, put it in front of his nose, and sniffed it, and suddenly spoke:
"I walked in the middle of the night and still led us a hundred miles ahead of us, about half a day."
Miaozhen asked keenly:
"Why do you feel that since you passed by Raozhou, they have been traveling much faster, and the distance between us and them has not been much reduced.
"They did not stay in Raozhou City. Judging from the ashes of the bonfires near the nearest, they stayed and rested for a while,
He left in the middle of the night, did he find us?"
Li Congshan didn't answer, his eyes drooped:
"Chasing again, discarding the heavy sensation, and running lightly."
Li and Miao and the other two started marching with the Three Hundred White Tiger Guards. After walking for a long time, at one moment, the white-robed young general suddenly stopped his horse and pointed to a path on the roadside on the right:
"There is a smell there."
Sanbaijia immediately surrounded him.
When I got closer, I saw a desolate area, and there was no trace of people.
Miaozhen frowned and said:
"Where are people? They can't get through this river, so why are they here? Could it be that they left separately?"
The young man in white robe walked over and squatted down, picked up some dust on the ground, sniffed it, and ordered with a cold face:
"Go back the same way and continue the road ahead."
The soldiers set off again. About an hour later, Li Congshan, who was walking on the right road, turned his head again and made gestures.
Everyone turned into a detour again, followed the traces and came to a stream at the foot of the mountain.
Li Congshan squatted down, picked up a piece of clothing beside the stream, and smelled it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Miaozhen was a little impatient:
"Where are people? Why do you keep taking a detour?"
Li Congshan did not hurry or slow down, and turned around and said:
"The main road heading south still smells, but there is also a fork here. Some of them have stopped here. "Did they go separately? Where did this person go?"
"There should be many people, if we calculate the food next to the abandoned bonfire that we find every time."
Miaozhen turned cold and said, "So they found us? Is this a trick to arrange things to delay our time?"
Li Congshan looked around and refused to comment.
He suddenly turned around and led his troops onto the main road and continued to go south.
In the evening, the Three Hundred White Tiger Guards finally arrived at a long-lost inn before dark.
On the map, this inn is called Qingya Post, which belongs to Hanyang County and is not far from Hanyang County.
The Xunyang Wang family is very likely to rest at this inn and even spend the night.
But before Li Congshan could get close, a fire rose into the sky from afar.
The fire was burning for unknown amounts, but there were a group of postmen and travelers outside, anxiously extinguishing the fire, which was useless.
Strangely, the fire was still green and the fire was extremely fierce.
Miaozhen glanced at Li Congshan's calm face:
"The smell is broken?"
Li Congshan shook his head:
"No, this fire is weird and has no thick smoke, but the smell has become much lighter."
"Where is the smell pointing?"
Li Congshan pointed to Hanyang County.
Miaozhen looked at the Youlu Fire coldly.
Four words to speak lightly from your mouth:
"A little trick to carving insects."
Li Congshanmo seemed to be hesitant and thought.
He suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture.
The three hundred white tiger guards immediately moved.
Under the leadership of Li Congshan and Miaozhen, they circled around the inn that was blazing fire. After confirming that there were no survivors, they rushed to the main road and headed straight for Hanyang County.
In the distance, on a lush tree, there was a hidden and isolated Taoist priest figure.
Zhang Shixiu stood quietly, watching the dust raised by the White Tiger Guards from afar.
In fact, since he left Raozhou a few days ago, he has been following Li, Miao and the other two and the Three Hundred White Tiger Guards.
Silently observe the choices of Li Congshan and others.
Every time, when Li Congshan leads his team to the foolish location set up by His Highness the Little Princess in advance, Zhang Shixiu will silently record the corresponding place, and then touch the compass to pass on the information back.
Because the "missible things" discarded by His Highness the Little Princess cast a wide net in many seconds.
Li Congshan only found a part of the company, and there were also many missing seconds.
This is not a waste of arrangement, the little princess wants this result.
Which debris will be found and which debris are not.
Clearly divided.
The Orange Times Xiumu丨Retrieve it from Hanyang County and hand it over to Miss Xie. The duty assigned to him by His Highness the Princess has been fulfilled.
The young Taoist priest quietly jumped down the lush tree and prepared to chase after Master Jia and His Highness Jia.
He suddenly remembered what the little princess said after finishing the arrangement that night, and chuckled at them.
"No matter how calm and sophisticated the tracker is, when he encounters more than three consecutive precise misleading, he will also have self-doubt——Well, just have fun with him."
Ju Shixiu breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment he understood why Zushitang was betting so much.
He let the beauty walk forward a few steps, Gao was so angry that he had noticed something.
Turning his head suddenly.
Zhang Shixiu suddenly saw a young general in white robe walking out of the dark woods behind him, followed by a cold middle-aged female official.
The young general Ren Pang Fu's armor was curved and raised on both sides of the orange and silver tiger-faced mouth. At first glance, he looked like a funny smile, but now he looked extremely weird and perverted:
"I'm so brave to catch you, I'm following you all the way."
His index finger pointed at the compass in Zhang Shixiu's hand:
"I forgot to say that the smell of the Taoist priest was so tired of smelling it in Jiafuya."
Chapter completed!
