The strongest ruler of the heavens

Chapter 468 Tracking
The black-faced man wearing a felt hat saw the middle-aged man entering the woods, so he didn't follow directly, but went around to the other side and entered cautiously.

The trees in front of him were gloomy, and the figures were vague. He looked far, and suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, his eyes went dark, and he suddenly lost consciousness.

Lin Xi dropped the stone in her hand and gestured to Meng Qi.

Meng Qi understood, went around and picked up his vest, walked back to the spot, threw it in front of the middle-aged man, and said calmly, "Walk carefully."

Although the oasis is cooler than the desert and has plenty of water vapor, it is not as comfortable as the spring in March in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The middle-aged man was originally a little hot, but at this time his vest was covered with dense cold sweat, and a chill rose from his heart. I don't know if I'm being followed!
"Yes, I'm too careless." He replied shortly.

When Lin Xi and the three met him, they all dressed up differently, with black cloth covering their heads and black robes covering their bodies, a typical Shake look, and they also covered their faces with face scarves.

"What news did you inquire about?" Meng Qi was playing with a few pieces of silver in his hands, and the middle-aged man couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he watched.

He gathered himself together, and said in an orderly manner: "I have inquired everywhere, and there was indeed a little master in gray robes who passed by nearly ten days ago. , was also remembered, he inquired about the route of the natural disaster and went to Checixia.”

Meng Qi nodded lightly: "Is there any other news?"

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Yes, but I think it's too fake, and I'm afraid it will stain the ears of the two nobles."

"But it's okay to say." Lin Xi's eyes flashed.

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "Some people say that the little gray-robed master was crying and making a scene in the street. He pestered people for money when he saw them, and finally returned to Congling in the east."

Meng Qi glanced at Lin Xi thoughtfully, seeing that he didn't speak, he threw the broken silver to the middle-aged man: "Be careful when you go back."

The middle-aged man looked at the silver light, and said a little excitedly: "The young ones know, the young ones know."

Looking at the back of him leaving, Gu Changqing said suspiciously: "The following news is too fake, unlike the Zhenhui you described. If the horse bandit deliberately confuses the public, he should make up a decent lie."

Meng Qi smiled and said, "You have to see through it at a glance that it's a lie, so as to meet their intentions."

"What intention?" Gu Changqing was a little puzzled.

Lin Xi said with a half-smile, "Since there are such clumsy lies, there are probably also news that conform to Zhenhui's image and behavior, but intentionally mislead at key points."

You know, there are quite a few horse bandits who want to fight against Ze Luoju!

"You mean, the previous news may also be false?" Gu Changqing suddenly said.

Lin Xi nodded and said nothing.

Gu Changqing looked at him, pondered for a while and said, "Then should we look for the horse bandit leader who spread the false news? If he and Ze Luoju are enemies, he will definitely be willing to help us and provide us with correct information. .”

Lin Xi smiled and waved her hands: "Don't be in a hurry, maybe their hostility towards Ze Luoju is also a disguise?"

I have experienced a lot of this kind of scheming, and I also like people behind the scenes.

"What?" Gu Changqing was shocked.

He looked at Lin Xi's eyes again, and found that the one-word quick sword, in addition to its profound strength, also had a lot of twists and turns.

As for himself, he is simply stupid and inexperienced.

"Then what should we do?" he asked sincerely.

Lin Xi pointed to the unconscious black-faced man on the ground: "Isn't there still him?"

As he spoke, he took out the folding fan at his waist and slapped the black-faced man awake.

The black-faced man slowly opened his eyes, in a daze, until he saw three masked black-clothed shackles above him, and then he woke up, startled and frightened: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to ask you what you plan to do? Tell me! Why are you following us in such a sneaky way?" Meng Qi shouted sharply when he saw this.

"I, I didn't, I just went into the woods for convenience."

The black-faced man panicked and replied: "Three heroes, please forgive me, I don't know anything."

"It seems that if you don't suffer, you won't be honest." Lin Xi said, turning her head to look at Meng Qi: "It's your turn."

Meng Qi nodded, moved his right foot to his finger, and stepped on it lightly, making the black-faced man's hair stand on end.

"Don't, don't, don't push hard."

"I never say that I am a cruel person, but I am not a cruel person." Meng Qi threatened.

The black-faced man stared at him for a while, then sighed and said, "Man, if I tell the truth, will you not kill me?"

"Of course, I'm a good person." Meng Qi said with a smile, making Lin Xi and Gu Changqing look at each other, dumbfounded.

The black-faced man took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "I'm a subordinate of the big man, and I'm here to inquire about news in this oasis. This time, under the order of the big man, I'm waiting in the oasis to inquire about the whereabouts of the young monk and the old monk."

"Big guy?" Meng Qi didn't know much about these bandits.

Gu Changqing introduced at the right time: "The big man was intoxicated, and he didn't know what he had done. He fled from the Central Plains to Hanhai, and pulled up a team of horse bandits. He called himself a big man. He is very powerful, and it is said that he has opened six orifices."

Meng Qi nodded, and continued to ask: "So, Checixia is the fake news you released on purpose? To lure us into an ambush?"

"It's not fake news either. The little monk did go to Checixia, but I let the innkeeper and the information sellers hide something." The black-faced man answered honestly.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xi asked.

The black-faced man's expression distorted for a moment: "Conceal the fact that the valley near Checixia is a big camp, so that if someone asks about the whereabouts of the little monk, they will fall into the trap."

"What about the little monk?" Meng Qi asked without changing his tone.

The black-faced man said in a low voice: "I was caught by the big gang, and I'm waiting to give it to Boss Zeluo as bait."

"Answer very honestly. I will spare your life." Meng Qi kicked the black-faced man on the head suddenly with his right foot, causing him to faint again.

After being in a coma for a while, the black-faced man woke up slowly, and found that there was no one in the woods, his face changed a few times, he got up quickly, and returned to the market town.

At this time, three figures suddenly appeared in the woods, they were Lin Xi, Meng Qi and Gu Changqing.

"Why don't you go to Checixia to rescue Zhenhui?" Gu Changqing was very puzzled why he had to wait there, saving people is like putting out a fire!
Lin Xi smiled and said to him: "We can't believe what other people say. No matter what the information is, we must verify it."

"How to verify, find the horse bandit on the other side?" Gu Changqing asked doubtfully.

Lin Xi pointed to the dark-faced man who looked around and looked back while walking: "He is the best candidate!"

Gu Changqing nodded, without further entanglement,

At this moment, Meng Qi walked out of the woods suddenly and followed directly.

Seeing Meng Qi strutting around, Gu Changqing became anxious for a while, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Hey, you will be discovered if you follow me like this!"

Lin Xi waved his hand: "It's okay, the little monk is not as simple as you seem, let's just wait."
