Under the city gate, Du Kuangfeng and Ji Ran each rode a tall horse, waiting for the orders to pass on the horse's back.

The late autumn night was quiet and cold, and both of them changed into thick clothes.

"Do you have to go to Tianji Palace with me tonight?" Du Qiangfeng asked, "It's the same if you leave tomorrow."

"Since they are all the same, then let's go earlier," Ji Ran's back was straight, with his expression still serious, "I don't like to drag things around."

Du Fufeng laughed.

Young man, energetic.

A clean and neat "release" came from the city gate. The officers and soldiers below moved, and everyone worked together to lift the huge bolt on the side door, leaving a gap enough for Du Kuangfeng and Ji Ran to ride through.

The two left the city, and soon galloped on the official road under the night sky.

Ji Ran silently thought about what he wanted to do this trip - the villages and towns outside Luoyang City were mainly concentrated in the Daizongshan area north of the city, and the Dali Temple Ping Yao Office had limited manpower. If this carpet-style investigation work was to be carried out at the same time, the cooperation of Sitiantai and Tianji Palace would be indispensable.

What's more, these two places have a huge influence among the mountain people in this area. If they can leverage their power, they will have twice the result with half the effort.

The letter sent to Sitiantai was sent out in the afternoon, but he still needed to go there himself for such a thing.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the horse's hooves on the ground bring a wave of dust. The two of them headed north in silence, quickly leaving the mountains, forests, plants and trees on both sides behind.

However, after passing a corner, Du Canfeng and Ji Ran almost pulled the horse at the same time.

Amid the dense grass in front of us, a cry of a child came.

The two looked at each other.

Where do children come from in this wilderness?

Ji Ran drew his sword on the back of the horse and dismounted with Du Kuangfeng. The two of them followed the sound and finally found the source of the crying.

——He is really a fat boy.

The child looks about four or five years old. He is wearing only a bellyband in the cold weather and is trembling while crying.

Seeing Ji Ran's fierce and fierce look, the child looked like he was about to chop people with a sword, so scared that he forgot to cry on the spot and raised his hand to protect his head in a daze.

Du Kuangfeng pulled Ji Ran away, stepped forward and picked up the child and coaxed him for a few words, then untied his cloak and put it on the child.

"Whose baby are you?" Du Qianfeng asked, "Why did you come out in the middle of the night?"

The child was still shocked. Although he couldn't tell why he was in this place, he clearly stated his name and parents' names, which mountain, which town, and which room his family lived in... He even made it clear that several piles of firewood were placed in the backyard.

Ji Ran was still a little doubtful about the child's identity. Seeing that Du Kuangfeng seemed to think there was nothing wrong, he also put away his sword, "What do the Tianshi Master plan to do? The child's home and our direction are opposite. You can't take him to Tianji Palace with you."

"It's easy to deal with," Du Qianfeng stuffed the child into Ji Ran's arms. "Isn't there an inn on the way I just arrived? You can send the child to the inn first and ask the people there to help send him home."

"Me?" Ji Ran held the baby in both hands. As soon as the child arrived in Ji Ran's hand, he started kicking his legs wildly, making him furious. "Hey--it was obviously the child you picked up, why don't you go there yourself?"

"I'm so old that I can't run." Du Huanfeng supported his waist with both hands, "Young people should respect the elderly and love the young. Go and go, I'll rest here, go and go back quickly."

Ji Ran said coldly, wrapped the corner of Du Kuanfeng's cloak in front of him, and hugged the child on the horse. The station was not far from here, and it was only a cup of tea to fight back and forth.

——You can’t just leave your children in the wilderness and ignore them. If you leave them until tomorrow morning, you might be taken away by a wild wolf.

"You're the one who has done it! Just blow the cool breeze here!" He shouted fiercely at Du Xuanfeng, leaving under the moonlight.

Du Xuanfeng watched Ji Ran leave. When he saw his back gradually getting smaller and melting into the night, Du Xuanfeng immediately turned over and whipped the horse in the opposite direction.

There is something that I have followed myself since I left the city.

This feeling is so vague that Du Xuanfeng can't determine where the stalker who was walking all the way is now.

Until he saw this child, Du Shuofeng suddenly realized that the other party was about to take action.

really.

A few wisps of unclear lines were mixed into the oncoming wind. Du Kuangfeng calmly jumped from the horse's back. The horse racing forward suddenly spasmed and fell to the ground at a strange angle, breaking his neck in the tumbling state.

Du Canfeng was not in a fight at all. After instantly realizing the other party's position, he ran away.

What exactly is keeping up with me?

Is it a monster?

But I don't feel the evil spirit...

He walked as fast as he could, faster than when he was riding a horse.

Du Canfeng would double his speed every ten steps. He originally wanted to detect the opponent's limit little by little - however, until he approached his fastest speed, the unshelterable tail still followed behind him.

After Du Canfeng's speed had not changed for a long time, the other party's speed suddenly increased.

This moment of approaching shocked Du Xuanfeng. The instinct of fighting had already reacted before he realized that danger had come-

A loud bang came from the wilderness.

The moment he fought, Du Huanfeng was shocked and numb. He took more than ten steps in succession, and finally stood firm.

Under the moonlight, he finally saw the opponent clearly.

This is a thin, tall and strong man. He stood barefoot on the ground, holding a wide and thick steel knife in his hand, but the face was hidden in the shadow of the hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a moment.

"Good skills, really good skills," exclaimed the man wearing a hat. "I have never seen such speed and strength in anyone."

Du Xuanfeng stared at the man in front of him. This person's hands and feet were very clean, so it would be better to say that his whole body was very clean, with only a little between his forehead, emitting a faint demonic aura.

The other party held a knife in his right hand and slowly took off his hat with his left hand. Under the cold and bright moonlight, the horns on Jiaguheng's forehead shone brightly.

Although the opponent's demonic aura was weak, Du Kuangfeng could not see the opponent's true cultivation level for a while, he had already realized that the person standing in front of him had unfathomable strength.

A premonition of death fell in Du Kuangfeng's heart for the first time - perhaps only monks like him could realize the difference between themselves and the other party's strength at the first glance when they saw Jia Gu Heng.

Although it is a bit unacceptable, standing in front of such an opponent...

Du Huanfeng frowned.

Tonight... I probably have no chance of survival.

He leaned forward slightly, ready to deal with the opponent's attack at any time.

"...You kidnapped the children on the roadside just now?"

"Yes." Jia Guheng nodded calmly.

Du Huanfeng was silent for a moment - he originally thought that the other party wanted to pull Ji Ran away and let him be alone before taking action, but now it seems that with this person's strength, there is no need for this.

"Why do you do this?" Du Xuanfeng asked.

"It's nothing, I just threw a copper plate to see if I could kill the person who was with you."

"Throw a copper plate?"
