Chapter 148 It’s just a coincidence, fly for a while (please vote for more)
After hearing this, the man smiled and did not comment.

The charming woman giggled twice, but she had already kept the matter firmly in her heart.

As someone who has been hanging out in the land of cosmetics for many years, she knows it best: this man's silence and noncommittal are just implicit expressions.

If she forgets about this matter, she will have to endure hardships in the future.

Considering that Deputy Envoy Xu appears to be honest but is actually vicious, he might hold a grudge against her for the rest of his life for this incident.

If you're not careful, she'll be buried in a hole.

As they were talking, the three of them had already walked away from the iron cage.

The girl had no idea that her future and fate had been determined by a few words from someone outside the cage, and she breathed a sigh of relief when these three people left.

……

If Wu Youxin were to come back to life, he would definitely be able to recognize that the man who was followed by a pair of impressive men and women with obvious fawning intentions was the Right Deputy Envoy Xu Hao, who had appeared briefly in Anleji that day.

Among the group of people who appeared in Anleji that day, there were the left and right envoys at the top, and the left deputy envoy Lin Feiyu who had a good "friendship" with the master of Anleji. The right deputy envoy Xu Hao was the one with the lowest presence among them.

From his appearance in Anleji to his departure, there was no impressive performance.

This time, he was invited here, naturally because of the batch of "gifts" sent by Wanpingji.

Although, considering the size of Wuyou Palace, this "gift" is not that valuable.

However, because it was completely beyond the plan of Wuyou Palace, it was equivalent to an unexpected additional profit.

The emotional value this brings is greater than the expected greater gains.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Deputy Envoy Xu rushed to check it out as soon as possible.

——The food from Yueluyuan and the medicinal herbs produced in the southern forest of Chiwu Mountain are the "food" of Wuyou Palace this time.

The actual work in terms of medicinal materials was assigned to the Left Deputy Envoy Lin Feiyu, who was responsible for coordinating the various forces inside and outside the gang.

Finally, the Anleji medicinal materials convoy disappeared and a large piece was lost.

In order to ensure that the income of Wuyou Palace would not be affected, Lin Feiyu asked his left and right envoys to directly put pressure on Anleji.

The mission was completed without any major problems.

The right deputy envoy Xu Hao was responsible for the actual work regarding food, coordinating forces within and outside the gang to get the job done.

The reason why the second request for grain was made, which left no room for maneuver, was because Deputy Envoy Xu You wanted to earn a better performance than Deputy Envoy Lin Zuo.

Not only did he have to complete the extra task assigned to him by the palace this time, he also had to complete the annual grain collection work to the highest standards as in previous years.

Since he had such a unique skill of digging bricks out of the ground and he didn't have the ability to produce so much food himself, he could only ask for it from the rice shops in the markets in Chaoyueluyuan.

Rice shops everywhere held the same thought, "If I don't make some money with Wuyou Palace, I'll be losing money. How can I let myself lose money at this critical juncture?"

Facing the pressure from Wuyou Palace, he would never sacrifice himself.

Then the pressure can only be passed down from various markets.

In the end, Lifang, which was at the forefront of grain production, took on everything.

Why not go to the nomadic settlements to collect?
Because everyone knows what a mess nomad settlement is.

I was thankful to be able to fill my stomach. I wanted to get extra food from them, unless I could reverse what I excreted back to the state it was in before I entered my mouth.

What's more, the nomadic settlements are scattered and dispersed, like moles hiding in every corner.

If you focus on them, the meager profits you get can't even cover the time and manpower costs invested.

There are people who do business that will cost them their lives, but no one does business that will lose them money.

If the vagrants in those settlements knew about this situation, perhaps for the first time they would feel fortunate that they were not residents of the neighborhood.

——As long as I turn myself into stinky dog shit that people would feel disgusted when they step on it, it can be considered an effective form of self-protection.

Just as the Right Deputy Envoy Xu Hao, accompanied by a man and a woman behind him, took a quick look at the quality of the "gifts" sent by Wanpingji, a series of "cooing" sounds suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Deputy Envoy Xu's expression changed, and he said to the two people behind him:

"That's it. I don't need you to accompany me here. Go and do your own things."

The man said, "I can go alone."

As he spoke, he looked at the charming woman next to him and said, "Hui Niang, it's rare for the Right Deputy Envoy to come here, you must entertain him well."

Hui Niang gave him a charming look, smiled, and took the arm of Deputy Envoy Xu and walked in another direction.

The man came to the empty yard alone, put a finger to his lips and made a strange long cry.

Soon, in the darkness of the night, a gray and white pigeon flew into the yard and circled above his head.

This pigeon has a pair of very spiritual eyes.

It stared at the man for two seconds and made a "cooing" sound from its mouth.

Finally, the dove landed on the man's outstretched right hand.

There was a small cylinder tied to the pigeon's right leg. The man unplugged the cylinder and poured out a paper roll the size of a little finger.

He put the paper roll in his arms and re-secured the cylinder tied to the pigeon's right leg.

He raised his right hand and saw the pigeon cooing twice, then gently kicked on his right hand and flew back into the sky.

Soon, the pigeon disappeared into the night without looking back.

Seeing the pigeon flying away, the man turned and walked towards the study, wanting to see what was recorded in the scroll.

But just as he was about to reach the door of the study, a few more "cooing" sounds came from the night sky.

An inexperienced person might think that this was the pigeon that had just left and returned.

But the man had already distinguished from the sound that it was another pigeon.

After a while, with a strange long whistle coming out of the man's mouth, a gray and black dove flew out from the night sky and landed on his outstretched right hand.

The man got another paper roll from the cylinder tied to the pigeon's left leg.

About half an hour later, four more pigeons came to visit.

In the study, the man sat at the desk, unfolded all six paper rolls and placed them in a row in front of him.

His eyes swept back and forth across the six scrolls of paper, and his expression became extremely solemn.

He looked in a certain direction in the distance, gritted his teeth, and finally took all six rolls of paper in his hands and rushed out of the study.

When he came to a house, he could clearly hear occasional giggles and gasps, as well as rhythmic creaking sounds from inside.

The man who heard the sound hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and knocked on the door.

The room suddenly became quiet for a moment.

Then, the voice of Deputy Envoy Xu You was heard from inside the house.

"Who?!"

One can clearly hear the anger and dissatisfaction contained in this brief greeting.

The man standing outside the door subconsciously bent down, as if apologizing for his recklessness, but said:

"Right Deputy Envoy, I think there is something you need to know immediately."

The room was quiet for a moment.

The door creaked open, and Deputy Envoy Xu, who was only wearing a coat casually, stood inside the door expressionlessly and said to the man:

"I hope it's something really important!"

The man bent down again and handed all six scrolls to Deputy Envoy Xu with both hands.

Deputy Envoy Xu You's eyes swept over the six unfolded paper scrolls in his hand.

At the beginning, I was a little careless.

But soon, his expression became solemn.

Because there wasn't much light at the door, he turned and walked into the house.

After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said to the man standing at the door: "Come in too."

The man followed him into the house.

When the two men came and sat down at a round table, the enchanting woman, with some residual charm on her face, walked over holding an oil lamp.

She placed the oil lamp on the table and sat down on the other side of Deputy Envoy Xu You, her eyes fixed on the six pieces of paper spread out in a row on the table.

The six pieces of paper actually all contain the same thing.

That is, a Xuanyou cavalry of astonishing size passed by them.

Some of the incidents were witnessed by Wuyou Palace's spies themselves, while others were indirectly collected and confirmed through various channels by Wuyou Palace's spies stationed in various markets.

——The spies of Wuyou Palace are spread across all the markets in Yuanzhou.

Some are in obvious places, such as the Dingxingtang stronghold in Kangleji.

Even if there is no in-depth cooperation with the local market, there is a tacit understanding between them.

Some are in the dark, which basically falls under the responsibility of the Sifang Hall of Wuyou Palace.

The peddlers who walk the streets are one of these categories, but there are many more than just this category.

In the absence of particularly important information, these spies scattered across the country will only pass on the collected information at a relatively fixed pace and along fixed channels.

However, if some important or frontline personnel judge that there is abnormal information based on their own experience, they will report the information immediately and share the information with surrounding bases.

And these six scrolls come from such information sharing.

They come from different locations.

The nearest stronghold was less than a hundred miles away from Wanpingji where they were.

But the farthest place is six or seven hundred miles away from Wanpingji!
They all record the same thing.

A large-scale Xuanyou cavalry passed by the market where their base was located.

Deputy Envoy Xu glanced at the six pieces of paper one by one and asked the man next to him, "What do you think about this?"

The man said in a deep voice:
“I think that today a group of over a hundred Xuanyou cavalrymen are coming from Chiwu Mountain.

The distance between us now is probably within a hundred miles at the shortest, and no more than two hundred miles at the farthest."

Deputy Envoy Xu asked, "What's the reason?"

“This trajectory is so clear, you see this first piece of information was transmitted from Chang’anji in the fifth set of Chiwushan Shandong.

The remaining five pieces of information are located at different distances from us, but they are generally located on the line from Chang'anji to our vicinity."

"There is also a very interesting piece of evidence. Our people witnessed the Xuanyou cavalry passing by in the two market outposts closest to this route.

The news coming from several outposts farther away from this route were all obtained from other channels, and they confirmed that the incident had indeed occurred.

Because of this, although they are closer to us, the transmission of information is much slower than that of other places."

"If we take into account the time it takes the Xuanyou cavalry to pass through these strongholds, we can basically confirm it.

This is the Xuanyou cavalry that set out from Chiwu Mountain this morning, passed through Chang'anji, and headed all the way to our area."

At this point, the man reminded:

"Right Deputy Envoy, we must take this matter seriously.

In my opinion, we must immediately mobilize all the forces we can.

Confirm where this Xuanyou cavalry is now, how many people are there, how strong they are, and what their purpose is here?
We must figure this out as soon as possible!"

Deputy Envoy Xu nodded slightly and said:
"We should indeed take this matter seriously, but I do have some ideas about the situation of this Xuanyou cavalry."

The man was surprised and looked up at him.

Deputy Envoy Xu's eyes were fixed on the first piece of paper on the table, which was the information note from Chang'an Ji.

Said softly:
"If my guess is correct, this Xuanyou cavalry set out from Kangleji this morning, then entered the territory of Chang'anji, turned east, and headed straight towards where we are."

The man asked in confusion: "How did you confirm this?"

“Because this first piece of news came from Chang’anji, and it clearly stated that it passed far outside Chang’anji, rather than starting from Chang’anji.

There are only two possibilities for this Xuanyou cavalry to appear outside Chang'anji. One is that they came from the west, the "South Fourth Ji", and the other is that they came from several other "East Fifth Ji" places in the northeast.

The second point can be basically ruled out. First, we have spies in other parts of the East Five. If the Xuanyou cavalry passed by, we would not be unaware of it.

Another thing is that the purpose of this Xuanyou cavalry is to enter Yueluyuan in the east.

If it was somewhere else in "Dongwuji" before passing Chang'anji, there was no need to go south to Chang'anji and then turn east.

You can just go straight east, why go around in such a circle?

So I concluded that this Xuanyou cavalry must have set out from Kangleji, located west of Chang'anji.

Because there is only wilderness between Kangle Market and Chang'an Market, there is no other market.

The best way to enter Yueluyuan from Kangleji in the east is to pass near Changanji.

At this point, Deputy Envoy Xu asked:

"Did you know that our base in Kangleji was maliciously destroyed several months ago?"

The man thought for a moment and nodded gently: "I've heard of it, but it's been a few months, haven't we re-placed our spies there?"

Deputy Envoy Xu shook his head and said:
"The great master Fan Qi has always been somewhat resistant to us, and the location of Kangleji is very remote, so it's not worth investing too much effort in it.

You are not unaware of how many affairs the palace has been involved in during this period... Now it seems that this was an oversight."

At this point, Deputy Envoy Xu showed a relaxed smile on his face and said:

"I have guessed the origin of this Xuanyou cavalry... Come to think of it, it has something to do with us."

"Ah? It's related to us?" The man showed a look of surprise on his face.

"To acquire the medicinal materials in the villages and towns in the southern part of Chiwu Mountain, we need to use millions of taels of silver.

The palace wanted these medicinal herbs but didn't want to pay the money, so it sought cooperation with the Wu family of Anleji, which had a strong foundation.

Almost all the cash was paid by the Wu family.

As for our part, it consists of some mansions and shops in Yuanjing City, two hundred Xuanyou horses brought from the north, a Xuanyou pill recipe, a complete set of Xuanyou armor forging technology, and various assistance that Deputy Envoy Lin Zuo and others can provide in this operation."

"After receiving this batch of Xuanyou horses, the Wu family immediately contacted various parties, looking for a master craftsman to forge Xuanyou iron armor, selecting elite soldiers, and armed the batch of Xuanyou horses into Xuanyou Iron Cavalry as quickly as possible.

This Xuanyou Iron Cavalry was handed directly to Wu Youxin. Since taking over this Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, Wu Youxin felt like he had obtained a big toy and wanted to take it with him wherever he went.

A few days ago, I saw the news coming from Chiwu Mountain.

It is said that Wu Youxin is leading the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry and a logistics convoy, leaving Anleji, passing "Dongwuji", and going to the vicinity of Kangleji to look for bad luck in several families.

Judging from the time, he should have finished the work at Kangleji."

Hearing this, the man nodded slightly, and understood Wu Youxin's intention of holding a "big toy" with amazing lethality and being eager to play around with it, or even looking for a strong enemy to fight with.

But he was still dissatisfied:

"There are so many markets around Chiwu Mountain, aren't they enough for him to mess around with? Why did he go to Yueluyuan?"

Having said that, some dissatisfaction hidden deep in my heart also came out.

"Right Deputy Envoy, are we being too accommodating to the Wu family in Anleji?"

From the perspective of the Wu family in Anleji.

Because of the joint intimidation of the left and right envoys of Wuyou Palace, the murder that occurred outside Baiyuanji, from the losses of personnel to medicinal materials, were all borne by the Wu family alone.

Wuyou Palace suffered no losses at all, and its tyranny and brutality were fully demonstrated.

But at this moment, from the man's perspective.

But I feel that Wuyou Palace actually gave a lot of things to the Wu family and finally fulfilled its promise.

A large number of finished medicines were really left in the hands of the Wu family. This was already a manifestation of Wuyou Palace being too accommodating to the Wu family.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Envoy Xu shook his head and said:

“The situation around Chiwu Mountain is different from Yueluyuan.

The neighborhoods and markets there are far from being as easy to control as the markets in Yueluyuan.

If Anleji hadn't been there to hold the fore this time, and if Yueluyuan had ended up like him, with their stronghold destroyed, it would most likely not be Kangleji's place!

Although Anle Market has gained a lot of benefits this time, it has also offended all the surrounding markets, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

As they talked, the two brought the topic back to the original topic, wondering what Wu Youxin was doing with his "big toy" running to Yueluyuan this time.

Just when the two of them were confused, the charming woman who had been listening on the side without interrupting suddenly spoke:

"Do you know why Wanpingji was able to easily find nearly a hundred good talents from Fengzefang?"

Deputy Envoy Xu, who had just heard the news and came over to inspect the "gift", naturally did not know the deeper secrets.

The man sitting on the other side of him said thoughtfully:
"Didn't Qin Hexuan say that it was because of the cooperation of that little pervert from the Liang family?"

The enchanting woman said:
"With the cooperation of that little pervert, at most it would just make it easier for Wanpingji to capture people and transport them out of Fengzefang.

But on weekdays, these families keep their children hidden very carefully.

They don't expose themselves voluntarily, so it's hard for people inside the neighborhood to notice them, let alone those outside.

But this time, Fengzefang exposed hundreds of people at once. Don’t you think this is unusual?”

Deputy Envoy Xu You seemed to be thinking about something. The man nodded slightly, looked at the charming woman, and asked, "Do you know the reason?" The charming woman said:
“I just know that the little pervert boasted to Die Lan.

He said that if he hadn’t discovered it early, these people would never have fallen into our hands, but would have been taken to the Lifang of Chiwu Mountain.”

Deputy Envoy Xu You had a thoughtful look in his eyes. He knew that in order to ensure that there were enough outstanding cultivators in the neighborhoods, the villages and towns surrounding Chiwu Mountain had a tradition of visiting relatives in Yueluyuan.

"...So, these people were originally prepared by Fengzefang for the "visiting relatives" in the Lifang over at Chiwu Mountain?

The places that are connected to Fengzefang are most likely some of the family squares near Kangleji.

Wu Youxin also got this news when he dealt with those families. Did he also set his sights on this batch of good seedlings? "

Deputy Envoy Xu You pondered and spoke out his thoughts.

The man added:
"Wu Youxin is very likely still thinking of kidnapping someone if things don't go well."

The people in Fengzefang exposed their children in preparation for marriage with the people in Chiwushanlifang.

Now the real leader of the neighborhood didn't come, but a villain who was famous for running a casino came and wanted to take their children away. Naturally, they would not agree.

In this way, there is an explanation for why Wu Youxin came in person with a large group of Xuanyou cavalry.

The three of them sat together and pieced together a "story" that was barely plausible based on the fragmentary clues they each knew.

The three of them also came to a conclusion.

"So, the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry led by Wu Youxin is very likely in Fengzefang now!"

The three people who drew the correct conclusion from the wrong process all felt like a thorn in their backs.

Because Fengzefang is too close to Wanpingji.

For the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, a distance of thirty miles can basically be accomplished with just one charge.

This is a force that can directly threaten their safety!
The man suddenly remembered something and his expression turned grim.

Deputy Envoy Xu had already noticed the change in his expression and asked hurriedly, "What have you thought of now?"

The man hurriedly said, "Yan Sirou and Ke Hongyin are probably in Fengzefang right now!"

Deputy Envoy Xu You widened his eyes, thinking that if something happened to Envoy Xi Zuo's beloved disciple in the territory he was responsible for, he would most likely be targeted by this woman.

He couldn't help but said with a tingling scalp:

"What are they doing there? Did you arrange for them to go there?"

Upon hearing this, the man quickly waved his hand and said:

"How can we arrange anything for them? Their actions are never under our control.

I just know that they are with Qin Hexuan's son Qin Lang today.

And Qin Lang's itinerary today is to go to Fengzefang to collect grain, and they are likely to go with him!"

Deputy Envoy Xu You had an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart, as if "all kinds of messy things just happened to come together".

He comforted himself in his heart that although Wu Youxin was a little ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, he would not do anything excessive to Xi Zuoshi's beloved disciple.

Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.

Just then, a "cooing" sound was heard outside the house again.

The three people sitting in the house, making mental deductions based on a bunch of fragmentary information, all had an inexplicable feeling of uncertainty in their hearts.

They were afraid that this "cuckoo" would bring some news that would shatter the optimism in their hearts.

However, blessing in disguise, disaster is inevitable, the man could only get up, open the door and walk out.

Soon, he walked into the house again with a small roll of paper.

Looking at the two people in the room who were looking at him with attention, he sat down next to Deputy Envoy Xu You again and unfolded the paper scroll bit by bit under the bright light.

The paper scroll hadn't been fully unfolded yet, and he saw a few special marks on it and said casually:
"Well, this is the news that has been relayed twice and spread urgently to all surrounding bases.

Every time this happens, it means an extremely serious incident has occurred, causing all surrounding strongholds to increase their attention and vigilance.

This time, I don’t know exactly…”

Having said this, the man suddenly fell silent.

Beside them, Deputy Envoy Xu You and the charming woman, who also saw the contents of the note clearly, also held their breath.

Because this news, which was urgently spread to them after being forwarded twice, originated from Anleji.

……

[It is suspected that Wu Youxin and the entire Xuanyou Iron Cavalry were destroyed in Yixian Gorge. Wu Yi is on the verge of complete madness.

It is suspected that Wu Youxin's actions against several villages around Kangleji were a premeditated trap specifically targeting the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

It is suspected that Santongji, Qingyuanji and Kangleji were all involved in the incident, which was most likely a counterattack and retaliation against Anleji's forced purchase of medicinal materials.

It is suspected that the murder against the Anleji convoy that occurred outside Baiyuanji was also committed by these markets.

Regardless of the truth, this is a major event that will completely change the current situation in the southern section of Chiwu Mountain. After receiving this message, Miyano must pay close attention! 】

……

Although the information on the note, except for the last reminder, all began with "suspected", none of the three questioned the authenticity of the content.

According to the rules of Wuyou Palace, unless there is solid evidence, words such as "suspected" or "said" must be used to confirm the facts and it cannot be completely confirmed.

And every piece of news on this note is so important.

Given the caution of those strongholds, they would hardly spread the information urgently unless they were more than 99% sure.

No one would joke about such a thing.

After seeing the information on the note, the same thought emerged in the minds of the three people.

“Since Wu Youxin’s Xuanyou Iron Cavalry has been completely annihilated in Yixian Gorge.

So, who are the Xuanyou cavalry that came from Kangleji and is most likely in Fengzefang now?
What is their purpose in coming here this time?
What is your attitude towards Wuyou Palace?"

"How are Yan Sirou and Ke Hongyin, who are most likely in Fengzefang now?"

They thought about these questions, but did not dare to think about them too deeply.

After a period of silence, Deputy Envoy Xu finally spoke up to break the silence.

"In Wanpingji, how much force can we mobilize now?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, while the man was still thinking about how to answer, he asked again, "Can you resist the charge of more than a hundred Xuanyou Iron Cavalry?"

The man who was about to introduce the available power in Wanpingji closed his mouth and shook his head, saying, "No."

Deputy Envoy Xu nodded and started to make arrangements immediately.

"Now, send a message to the surrounding markets and inform them of our situation as soon as possible. Those who are nearby, have them immediately mobilize personnel to support us. Those who are far away, have them stay on high alert and keep an eye on any changes here."

As he spoke, he stood up and said to the enchanting woman:
"Go and gather all the available manpower in Wanpingji."

While making the arrangements, he was already striding towards the door.

The two quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Deputy Envoy Xu You said: "I will go find Qin Hexuan!"

He has figured it out. Compared to Wuyou Palace, this sudden incident actually poses a greater threat to Wanpingji and Qin Hexuan.

You must know that whether it was the second collection of grain from the surrounding neighborhoods, or the internal and external collusion to abduct the children of nearly a hundred families in the neighborhoods, these were all operations directly instructed by Qin Hexuan of Wanpingji.

Just as he walked out of the gate of the mansion, he saw a group of people rushing towards him in the distance.

The person in the lead was Qin Hexuan, the master of Wanpingji and also the president of the Rice Bank.

Behind him, there were two masters in the Marrow Refining Realm. This was all the combat power of the Marrow Refining Realm that Wan Pingji could show off.

Such strength is not considered weak among the many markets in Yueluyuan.

From this we can also see how big the gap in strength is compared to the markets around Chiwu Mountain.

In Qin Hexuan's hand, he was holding a young man who was tall but not very old.

At this moment, the eyes of the young man, who was frightened pale, were filled with fear.

"Grand Master!"

Deputy Envoy Xu greeted them and then asked, "What are you doing?"

When Qin Hexuan saw Xu Hao, it was like seeing his own father, and a smile immediately broke out on his originally anxious face.

He took the young man in his hand and hurried forward a few steps to the right deputy envoy Xu, and said in a tone that was obviously flattering:

“It’s great that you’re here too!

I have something very important to report to you!"

Glancing at the young man in Qin Hexuan's hand, Deputy Envoy Xu You, who already had some guesses in his mind, said in a deep voice:
"you say!"

……

same night.

Deep in the foothills of Chiwu Mountain, nearly a thousand miles away from Wanpingji.

A figure was running fast in the undulating, rugged and steep mountains and forests.

This figure entered the remnant of Chiwu Mountain from the north end, crossed the mountains and forests, and rushed at high speed towards the south of the remnant of Chiwu Mountain. It was like a meteor falling from the sky, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

No matter what obstacles stood in his way, they could not stop his determination to head south.

In less than three hours, the figure who was dressed in gorgeous clothes before entering the mountain appeared at the edge of the southernmost remnant in tattered clothes and disheveled hair.

The figure looked up at the sky, then looked left and right to determine his position, and then moved quickly toward the east along the southern edge of the remaining range of Chiwu Mountain.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yixianxia appeared in his sight.

Since entering the First Line Gorge, the figure that was originally rushing through the mountains and forests suddenly slowed down.

The straight-line distance of the gorge was only a dozen miles, but he spent more than an hour here.

He walked slowly from the west side of Yixian Gorge to the east side of Yixian Gorge.

Then we climbed up to the high cliff formed by the remaining branches of Chiwu Mountain, walking from the east side to the west side.

Then it came to the top of the barren hills, sometimes jumping onto the ridge and sometimes jumping into the ravine.

His eyes swept over the rocky slopes that had fresh marks that could not be concealed.

It lingered on the rock surfaces, which still bore arrow holes, knife marks, and sword scars, even though the best efforts had been made to cover them up.

These simple traces, which have become messy and unsystematic due to too many modifications, have become the most powerful evidence of a cruel "hunting scene" under his rich experience.

And the prey in the trap -

Just thinking about it, a heart-wrenching pain and gnashing of teeth, a rage that wants to completely tear the world apart fills my heart.

It made him eager to destroy and burn!

Ever since this figure entered Yixian Gorge, the Gorge had been dead silent for nearly an hour. Suddenly, a long roar that shook the whole area was heard.

This long howl, which contained so many emotions, lasted for a long time.

While the remaining sound was still lingering and stirring in the winding canyon of Yixian Gorge, the figure had already shot out like lightning and rushed towards the wilderness on the west side of Yixian Gorge.

Heading westwards from Yixianxia, more than a hundred miles away, you will find Kangleji and Bajiafang.

More than an hour passed, and the figure that came out of Yixian Gorge was approaching the wilderness outside Kangleji.

He looked sinisterly in the direction of Kang Le Ji for a few times, but did not continue to go towards Kang Le Ji.

Instead, it quickly flew towards a neighborhood that was far away from Kangleji and in a more remote location.

But the next moment, a sword light suddenly cut through the night sky and shot towards the direction he was rushing towards.

The figure, sensing danger, immediately stopped and dodged, avoiding the attack of the sword light.

"Who?!"

The figure has turned around and looked in the direction where the sword light came from, with strong murderous intent and vigilance in his eyes.

And just in front of his eyes, a figure holding a long sword appeared in the night.

Under his gaze full of murderous intent and vigilance, the figure holding the long sword at an angle was not affected at all. He walked closer with brisk steps and finally stopped about twenty or thirty steps away from him.

"Brother Wu, please stop!" Fan Qi said.

This figure crossed Chiwu Mountain, wandered in Yixian Gorge for more than an hour, and then ran all the way from Yixian Gorge to here.

Naturally, it was Wu Yi, who lost his beloved son and suddenly felt as if the world had collapsed. He was the master of Anleji and Baiyuanji.

The figure holding the sword at an angle to stop him from invading the neighborhood was naturally Fan Qi, the master of Kangleji and the guardian of this land.

Wu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Fan Qi, how dare you appear in front of me?"

Fan Qi smiled bitterly and said:
"Brother Wu, please accept my condolences regarding your son's matter.

However, whether you believe it or not, I have to say that this matter has nothing to do with me!

I am a victim of this incident just like you!"

What did Wu Yi think of these words?
Is it an excuse?

No, it's a playful sarcasm!

Now, the fate of Wu Youxin and his group is still kept secret.

Unless you are the most direct participant in this incident, no one knows what exactly happened.

But now Fan Qi, who kept saying that it had nothing to do with him, asked him to accept his condolences as his first words.

And he was waiting here at the right time, waiting for him to appear and take action to stop his next move.

This was clearly meant to dampen his arrogance and tell him, "Everything here is under my control."

Facing Fan Qi's expression, Wu Yi didn't say another word.

At this moment, every extra word he said only revealed his inherent fatigue and weakness.

So, he rushed directly towards Fan Qi.

In response to his actions, Fan Qi stood there without any reaction.

There wasn't even any defensive action.

The next moment, his instinctive sense of crisis made him dodge and change direction again.

And just as he dodged and changed direction, a rapidly spinning spear with a red tassel behind it broke through the night sky and passed by his original position.

Because of Wu Yi's timely dodge, the spear failed to hit the real target, and the figure holding the red tasseled spear put away the spear in time and stopped.

There was only a violent force "blowing" away from the front of the spear, and wherever it passed, it was like an invisible iron plow passing by.

A deep furrow was plowed in the wilderness, and the soil flew to both ends until a deep furrow twenty or thirty steps long was plowed out, and then the energy dissipated silently and shattered.

Wu Yi dodged in time and saw this scene, and couldn't help but his eyelids twitching.

He had realized that in just a short while, he had almost been successfully ambushed in such a vicious way twice in a row.

Of course, the opponent is strong enough and vicious enough.

But there is a more important reason, that is, there is something wrong with his own mentality.

After narrowly escaping the brink of crisis twice in succession, his mind, which had been almost completely overwhelmed by anger, finally regained some clarity.

Zhu Yi failed in his first attack and wanted to continue, but Fan Qi raised his hand to stop him.

He had no choice but to stand aside with his gun, watching Wu Yi's every move with a vigilant look on his face.

Fan Qi said:

"Brother Wu, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor.

If you want to seek revenge, you should go find the real enemy. Don't compete with me. There is no point in that.

I stopped you tonight just because I didn’t want you to use my Kang Le Ji as a target for your hatred, that’s all.”

Wu Yi stood there, not moving, but his knife-like eyes scraped back and forth between Fan Qi and Zhu Yi.

Suddenly, without any warning, his figure projected towards the distant wilderness.

Soon, it completely disappeared into the night.

And until he completely disappeared, he didn't leave a single harsh word.

Zhu Yi looked at the direction where Wu Yi disappeared and said worriedly:

“They say a biting dog doesn’t bark. This time, Wu Yi completely hates you.

I think we should unite and kill him!"

Fan Qi, who was also looking at the direction where Wu Yi disappeared, heard this and said unhappily:
"You're addicted to playing with guns, but you can also be addicted to being used as a gun?!"

……

One or two hours before the conflict outside Kangle Market, at the end of the Hai hour and the beginning of the Zi hour (around 11pm)
In front of the hillside a few miles away from Fengzefang, Geng Xuan had already ridden back on Xuanyou's horse. He glanced behind him and gently squeezed the horse's belly, "Gee!"

It was late at night, and a group of Xuanyou horsemen were galloping towards Wanpingji.
