One hundred and thirty-seven miles north of Zhentian Pass, with dense forests and high mountains. A mountain stream gurgles. A few purple flowers sway in the breeze, which has its own charm. If you ignore the embarrassing and tragic battlefield here.

It has been a day and eight hours since time passed, and the eight corpses left on the scene have been swallowed up by wild beasts. Groups of black flies are hovering, and the smell of rottenness can be smelled hundreds of meters away.

"Report to General Duan, we were chasing the target here. Just when we were about to successfully capture the target, we were suddenly attacked by unknown attacks. The enemy was very powerful and the attack was fast and fierce. Although Captain Dong ordered to retreat immediately, we still suffered heavy casualties. From the beginning to the end, we did not find out who the enemy was. We were only attacked by dozens of savages on the way to retreat, and then five brothers were plundered."

At this time, someone reported that it must be the previous survivor.

"Search around the battlefield immediately and don't let go of any clues!" The deputy general said in a deep voice, and then bowed his hand to the Taoist priest and said respectfully: "I would like to ask Master Qu to help me."

"Hmph, don't search for clues. Judging from the scale of this battlefield, I'm afraid that there will be cultivators taking action. Then that's it, General Duan, take your people back. The next thing is no longer something you can participate in. And the five missing brothers under General Duan should not have any extravagant ideas. Those savages are probably not real savages, but puppets controlled by demons. Time has passed so long. Even if you forcefully try to find them at any cost, you will be powerless to make a comeback. At that time, if you lose your manpower again, it will be more than worth the loss."

The young Taoist priest still had a cold face, but he was very polite.

When Deputy General Duan heard the three-character cultivator's expression, he also changed. He obviously heard about it and was very clear about the gap between them. So although he was dissatisfied, he still waved his hand and said frankly.

"So, then the mission will end here and everyone will return to the camp!"

But after this order, Zuo Mian suddenly became anxious and rushed forward and knelt down and shouted:

"General Duan, I am brave enough to search for the missing brothers at all costs. I am willing to bear all the consequences of the price!"

"Random! Move left, you are a joke about the general order of this general? Get back, otherwise you will be engaged in military law!" The deputy general immediately sank his face, and the military order is like a mountain, and he cannot tolerate any disobedience.

Zuo Qian knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and the veins of his right hand holding the knife burst out.

But a second later, he bowed silently and retreated.

"Go back to the camp!" The deputy general snorted coldly and was about to activate the war horse. At this moment, Mu Shaoan, who had been standing on the edge, suddenly asked the Taoist priest in a low voice: "Master, do you need a guide? I am familiar with this place. The bandit camp in Daheishan is nearby. I heard that there are a few very powerful masters in Daheishan recently. A few days ago, the escorts from the Changfeng Escort Agency were robbed. You know, the Changfeng Escort Agency has 70 or 80 squadrons, all of whom are very powerful in martial arts, and there are also privately hidden standard crossbows. Oh, that squad shot, and the arrows flew together, like dark clouds. That formation, squad!"

Although Mu Shaoan spoke very little, he was vivid and had a nose and eyes, which seemed to be the case.

Although the Taoist Master Qu still looked disdainful at the beginning, he looked at the bandit camp in Daheishan, but he still looked very disdainful.

When he heard that there were a few more masters in the bandits in Daheishan, his eyes narrowed again. But before he could show any disdain, Mu Shaoan revealed that the seventy or eighty escort players of the Company Changfeng Escort Agency were destroyed, and this disdain could not be expressed immediately.

When Mu Shaoan talked about the Changfeng Escort Agency, he still hid a standard crossbow, but was still robbed by the bandits of Daheishan Mountain, even the deputy general was not calm.

That's right.

So what about a cultivator? Although this master of Qu Taoism is handsome and confident, he is probably a newborn calf. If he meets a cultivator of the same realm, he may be able to capture it successfully.

But if this hostile cultivator has hundreds of bandits around him, if these hundreds of bandits still have hundreds of standard crossbows, under the arrows, especially when other cultivators are commanded, even if they are as proud as a master of songs, they have to kneel down and sing to conquer.

"This matter can be true!"

Before the Taoist Master Qu asked anything, the deputy general roared like a lion. He was actually very dissatisfied with such a return without success, but Taoist Master Qu was a master sent by the ninth prince. He was a mere deputy general, how could he dare to do it?

But if the situation allows, he is willing to prove the value of his martial arts master.

"It should be - Jiu became true!"

Mu Shaoan touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly.

"What does it mean to become the real? True is true, false is false. I said, have you ever seen the bandits of Daheishan destroyed the Changfeng Escort Agency in person? And I have heard of the Changfeng Escort Agency, why did I not get this news in Zhentianguan, but you know in advance?" The deputy general did not give Master Qu a chance to speak, and he gave up the responsibility in advance as soon as he asked. At that time, Master Qu had no idea even if he was in trouble!

"Uh, this-"

Mu Shaoan touched his nose again. He thought this move was so handsome. He had no choice but to do anything about it.

When Deputy General Duan and Taoist Master Na Qu both frowned, he pretended to be helpless and said: "Report to the general and Taoist Master, in fact, I didn't see this with my own eyes. I just saw some clues and clips, so I guessed that I didn't dare to say 10% of them, I only dare to say that nine of them are true!"

"You are arrogant. You said you didn't see each other in person, but you dare to say that you are the one who is truly a 3-year-old child?"

Deputy General Duan was furious again, and even the Taoist Master Qu frowned again, probably only one centimeter away from leaving.

Mu Shaoan bowed again and said solemnly: "In fact, the robbery of the Changfeng Escort Agency should have happened between Yin and Mao at the early morning three days ago. The place should be on a commercial road between 30 and 50 miles behind us. As for why I didn't see you personally, I can see you as a treasure, and things are actually simple."

"Three days ago, I was a hunter in the mountains. Before dawn, I set out to Hengtang Town, 65 miles away from here to sell mountain goods. However, I happened to encounter heroes from Daheishan on the way to do business, just 15 miles back from us. At that time, a large escort agency passed by. Actually, I didn't know the Changfeng Escort Agency, but I remembered the flag at a glance. When I was in Zhentianguan, I could easily find out that it belonged to the Changfeng Escort Agency."

"At that time, the Changfeng Escort Agency was not robbed by the bandits of Daheishan. In fact, they seemed to have agreed. The Changfeng Escort Agency used some price to exchange for the bandits of Daheishan. It would be great if the matter ended. But later, when my companions and I were about to continue to follow the commercial road to Hengtang Town, about 25 miles downstream, I saw chaotic ruts, horse struggling hoof prints, and some extremely powerful crossbow arrows densely shot. Of course, these crossbow arrows had been pulled away by people at that time, and only chaotic footprints were left on the ground, and even the more conspicuous blood was buried. So I infer that the sixty or seventy people in the Changfeng Escort Agency were all finished. The other party was a master, and after killing and robbing people, they would burn the corpse and destroy the traces!"

"So it's easy to guess at this point. The things protected by Changfeng Escort Agency this time must be very important, or they were targeted by some powerful figure. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to do such a thing, because the bandits who block the road are usually very trustworthy. So I can tell from this that there must be a few very powerful figures in the bandit camp in Daheishan, and they are also very cunning. First, they pretended to let go, causing the tramplers of Changfeng Escort Agency to relax their guards. As a result, in a blink of an eye, they set up a new ambush downstream. After several rows of dense crossbows, the robbers were successfully successful!"

"At that time, the people led by Commander Dong's servant were not yet arrived at the scene. They happened to arrive there at the same time as us. I judged through the birds that were startled on the mountain that there were ambushing people here. Those people were so cruel that I didn't want to be silenced, so I wanted to escape. Unexpectedly, I made a mistake and was chased by Commander Dong. Finally, I joined Zhentian Pass and became the captain of the guard team. This is probably the case. As for deeper things, I don't know whether Commander Dong's ambush was related to this matter, but this should be a good clue. It is only for reference by General Duan and Chief Qu."

After Mu Shaoan finished speaking, the Taoist Master Qu still had a cold face, but the eyes of the deputy general were dripping around, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Deputy General Duan turned around and asked, "Is this true?"

What I asked was the soldiers who had accompanied Dong Fan before.

"Reporting to the general, I can't judge other things, but this is true about us. We tracked the target and crossed mountains and rivers. We suddenly lost the target's trace on that trade road. At this moment, four hunters on the trade road discovered the trace in advance and wanted to escape. So Dong Xiaowei made a quick decision and shot one person on the spot. Later, he realized that this was a mistake. Dong Xiaowei himself also highly recognized Wu Laosan's methods. He was indeed very sensitive in some aspects."

"Is that true?"

At this time, the deputy general exchanged glances with the Taoist Master Qu. The Taoist Master Qu was young and energetic. The water he splashed out just now did not want to be slapped in the face, let alone said that he was afraid. But this matter has become more complicated and he can't handle it alone, so the face and steps must be protected and provided by the Taoist Master in the future.
