Chapter 73 Xieling Gate (for Yuanshushan and the jade
Bai Yu frowned in a line and said with his back: "There is no trace of anyone in Meiling and Yulin Peak, but he met a woodcutter in the mountain east of Yulin Peak, saying that just dawn this morning, a team of people came down from behind Yulin Peak and went southeast.
"Our people looked in the direction he pointed, and they found horse hoof marks on a section of the road. The hoof marks went south and went up the official road, mixed with other horse hoofs, and could not tell them any more."
Yan Zhuo narrowed his eyes, "There is no trace? Did the horse's hoof print suddenly appear?"
"That's right." Bai Yu nodded, "so it's very strange."
Yan Zhuan was a little more confident and breathed a sigh of relief, "The way to sweep the road is really the Xiling Gate."
"Xiling Gate?" Bai Yi couldn't understand.
Yan Zhuo explained in his mind: "Xilingmen is one of the four major sects specially designed for tomb robbers, and the way to sweep the road is their favorite trick to use.
"They have tools specially tied behind the horse to remove hoof prints, which look like rakes and brooms. They hide their whereabouts. A section of hoof prints appears. They deliberately set up a maze to make people think they are going south, but it is very likely that they are still walking on the mountain road. The real direction should be forked on the section where hoof prints appear."
Bai Yi did not hide his admiration, and Sister Yu knew everything!
It was the first time Bai Yu heard about this sect. After hearing this, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "Fortunately I drew a map, look at the terrain."
The three of them sat down at the stone table next to the patio. Bai Yu spread the map and placed it on the stone table, lit a place and said, "The hoof prints were found here."
He swept the picture and locked a area to Yan Zhuo, "If you guess, people should have gone east to the mountain. This mountain belongs to the Daqi Mountains. The deep mountains are the most steep. And there are countless unknown green forest bandits near the most dangerous Pomen Mountain. Will the tomb robbers live in such a place?"
I think the tomb robbers are going to take action, so they should go to Haicheng County.
"I've heard of it here!" Bai Yi stood up on the stone table with his long sword. "In Daqi Mountain, there is a copycat, which is full of righteous men and heroes who claim to rob the rich and help the poor, and specialize in robbing the goods of passers-by merchants to the south of Haicheng."
"Daqi Mountain?" Yan Zhuo stood up suddenly with a bright look, "If there were really bandits there, it would be someone from the Xiling Gate, that's right!
"The people of the Xiling Gate often like to gather and live together. They have to rob the tombs and rob the money without to rob them. The green forest is just a cover for them to hide their identity!"
When Bai Yu heard her say this, he naturally became confused and immediately stood up and wanted to put away the map, "Since that's the case, I'll take some people up the mountain to take a look."
Bai Yi waved his long sword and received it into the sheath, "Brother Yu takes me with you! Let's go and suppress these thieves who sell dog meat with sheep!"
"Wait!" Yan Zhuo stopped the two of them, "This matter cannot be hard. And it needs to be confirmed again. There are also rumors about theft. The rules of the Xiling Sect are strict and it is very secret to the outside world. We just rushed in like this to seek back the property and seek justice, but we are afraid we will suffer a loss.
"I think the leaders are very outstanding in being able to occupy the mountain and gather people to revolt for the king. Besides, just looking at the Baijia Village next to the Daqi Mountain, it shows that those thieves are not just robbing their families."
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that what Yan Zhuo said made sense, "This is indeed, Baijia Village has never been robbed by bandits.
"One year, Zhuxi River suffered a mountain torrent, destroying more than ten rooms and flooding dozens of fields. A disaster relief official came to Haicheng. It is said that he swallowed up the disaster money. Before leaving, he also took a fancy to the new wife of the Silang family of Qiao's family and insisted on snatching them away. Later, he was chopped off his head at night. It was said that it was done by people from Daqi Mountain."
"So." Yan Zhuo made his inference, "If this matter is to seek things, it is probably the solemn action of some people in this sect! It is just because the people of the Xieling Sect are happy to act arrogantly, and they stole the tomb and left arrogantly. The restoration of the robbery hole afterwards is not like their style, which only means that the tomb robbers do not want to be discovered."
Bai Yu looked at her in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Judging from what she said, she had already made a decision.
Yan Zhuo did have plans, but he needed to be a real person from the Xiling Sect. She said to Bai Yu: "I need to confirm whether it is the Xiling Sect. Please help me find someone to leave a sheep head near the parcel and see what they react."
He said to the two of them again: "This matter is not urgent. As long as I can be sure that it is from the Xiling Sect, I will have a way to avenge the Bai family!"
When Bai Yu went out, Yan Zhuo secretly pulled his sleeve and pointed to the backyard. Bai Yu understood.
After a while, Bai Yi went to Bai Sanlang's courtyard. Yan Zhuo followed the route of the night of his marriage to the back wall. Bai Yu was indeed waiting there.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yu's heartbeats a little fast. He looked behind Yan Zhuo. It was her first time to take the initiative to look for him.
"I can't say much now." Yan Zhuo ran a little gasping, his voice was low, "Prepare a bamboo raft for me, and two more oily wind lamps, I'm going to go to the cave today."
"When?" Bai Yu frowned.
"Tonight!" Yan Zhuo had already thought about it, "I rode my horse to the foot of the mountain for half an hour, and the bamboo raft was coming downstream soon. When I was about to reach the waterfall, I stopped and dived over."
"Then why are you back?" Bai Yu took a breath. This little lady was simply afraid of it.
Yan Zhuo had no choice, "Let's talk about it then, if the other party is really a Xiling Gate, as long as there is this thing, it will be easier."
Bai Yu was not very comfortable and frowned, "Since everyone is on the same boat, why do you have to take risks alone?"
Yan Zhuo was a little embarrassed. She didn't dare let others know the secret of the jade mine for the time being, unless she had a way to mine it.
However, Bai Yu helped her everywhere, and she was very loyal to her friends, so she still wanted to hide it from him, and for no reason she was a little sorry for her.
She could guess that Bai Yu would not answer that what she was going to do was probably related to her life experience and secrets.
Before she could speak, Bai Yu said in a deep voice: "I'll go with you. If you are not relieved, I'll let the guards be at the bridge. I'll send you there alone and pick you up. I'll go find you when you're ready."
Yan Zhuo hesitated for a moment and entered the cave at night. I think Bai Yu would not find anything.
Besides, this man is good at it, and with him, he can be faster on the road.
She smiled and nodded, "Come with me, but you have to listen to me. Also, I need some bait."
"Fishing?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows. The girl was not polite to call him.
But seeing that she agreed, a trace of anger disappeared immediately.
Yan Zhuo pursed his lips and smiled and kept it aside, "You will know then. Soak the ground dragon dry in boiling water for two taels, one tael of croquette, one tael of millet, half a pound of wild star anise, and three taels of wine lees. Add two taels of sugar while cooking. Remember?"
Bai Yu recited it silently, remembered it all, and nodded.
Yan Zhuo patted his shoulder like a child, "I have a good memory! If I forget to ask me again."
After saying that, he ran away with his waist.
