Chapter 539 Traces in the Rain

The forest was deep, and the two of them went hand in hand, talking nonsense, and gradually reached the edge of the forest.

There is a road not too wide by the forest. The country of wind is different from other countries. So-called official roads are rarely built. Most of them are mountain roads that have been walked out for many years. There is no rule to talk about, and they are curved and embedded in the lush forest.

When Han Mo thought of something, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Pei... Do you know how to prepare poison?"

Hongxiu didn't know why Han Mo mentioned Pei Yinghou at this time, but since she asked, she replied: "Master Xue has been in one place for more than ten years. Although he didn't know if he had learned how to develop drugs,... One place belongs to the Interior Department, the Silver and Money Department, the Equipment Department, the Training Department, and the Pharmacy Department are all under the Internal Affairs Department. Pei served as the Chief of One place for nearly ten years and has been in charge of the Four Divisions, among which the Pharmacy Department is also under his jurisdiction. I think he should know a lot about the medicine. The formula of each medicine in Xihua Hall needs a stub in a Pharmacy Department... As long as you look at it more, you should be able to master the preparation of many kinds of medicines!"

Han Mo nodded slightly, thinking.

Don’t look at the flower hall one is not responsible for the actions, but only for logistics affairs. But in fact, this place is the most important, and the roots of other places are also built in one place.

If there is no one, the other places will be empty shells and cannot supply fresh blood.

It is precisely because of this that a position in charge must be unusual, and those who can hold this position must be not ordinary people. Pei Yinghou was gentle and respectful in front of Han Mo, but Han Mo knew that Pei Yinghou was very knowledgeable and capable in his hands.

"Master Pei has been in the West Flower Hall for more than ten years... Then do you know what he did before entering the West Flower Hall?" Han Mo asked.

Hongxiu frowned slightly, but replied: "Master Pei is a scholar. As far as I know, when he was in the capital exam, he was highly praised by the late emperor. He even went to the palace to work as a close servant in the imperial study room for two years... Later, he arrived at the Xihua Hall and served as a clerk in a silver and money department from the beginning. After two years, he was promoted to the chief officer of the same place by his adoptive father...!"

Han Mo was stunned for a moment and said strangely: "Master Pei... did he come out of the palace?"

Hongxiu nodded, but said nothing.

"The attendant near the imperial study room... is by the emperor's side, so there is a great future!" Han Mo frowned slightly: "How could he come to our West Flower Hall... A scholar is willing to come to our Flower Hall, which is interesting!"

Hongxiu looked indifferent and suddenly frowned, "Sir... there is a sound of horse hooves!"

Han Mo was only concerned about talking to Hongxiu. He listened to Hongxiu's reminder and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard a sound of horse hooves coming from the west, and he couldn't help but secretly praised Hongxiu's alertness.

"I won't go to the forest road for the time being!" Han Mo whispered in a low voice: "It seems that the voice is coming here, so we won't leave the forest first..."

Hongxiu nodded, turned over and got off the horse, pulled the horse behind the big tree, and from top to bottom, you could see the narrow path below the slope. Han Mo also got off the horse and stood beside Hongxiu.

At this time, the sky was dark and the rain was slightly weaker. They stood quietly behind the big tree in the lush forest. If they did not enter the forest, they would never find their existence.

The sound of horse hooves gradually became clear, and it was indeed coming here. Han Mo's eyesight was amazing. Although the sky was dark, he could still vaguely see that several fast horses were flying from west to east in the forest path not far away.

As the horse approached, Han Mo could see clearly that the group of people were all wearing straw raincoats, but not wearing hats. They were wearing white turbans on their heads, horses were like dragons, people were like tigers, and waists were also wearing scimitars unique to the country of wind, galloping like thunder and lightning.

The leader had superb horsemanship and agile body. He had a short distance from everyone behind him. When Han Mo saw the leader, he immediately frowned, with a slight surprise in his eyes.

This group of wind knights rushed past the forest road like lightning. When they passed by Han Mo and the others, no one noticed that there was still someone watching them in the forest.

"Why... it's him?" Han Mo frowned and couldn't help but mutter to himself as the group of knights rushed over.

Hongxiu glanced at Han Mo. Han Mo's inexplicable words made her a little confused.

After waiting for a while, no other horse team followed behind him. The two of them came out of the forest. Han Mo looked at the direction where the group of knights were leaving, his brows were very tight, and his face was full of strangeness.

He didn't speak, and Hongxiu didn't speak, just followed him quietly.

Han Mo led the horse and looked at the horse's hoof prints extending in the muddy forest road. After a moment of silence, he finally turned over the horse and said in a deep voice: "Follow them and see what's going on!"

Hongxiu also turned over and said, as Han Mo's subordinate, she would do whatever Han Mo told her, so she would naturally not ask why she wanted to keep up with that group of people. If she was a cautious person, she would be afraid that Han Mo would not cause too much trouble. However, in Hongxiu's opinion, there was nothing that was impossible in the world. Since she wanted to keep up, she would just keep up.

Moreover, there are horseshoe marks left by the group of people in the forest road, which are clearly visible and there is no need for tracking techniques.

Han Mo shook the reins of the horse and urged the horse to move forward, and Hongxiu immediately followed.

The forest roads in Fengguo are winding and winding, and there are many forks. In other words, the roads in Fengguo are not regular, and there are no main branch roads. After walking for a moment, several forks will separate. Fortunately, this area does not belong to the settlement area, and it is dusk again, and it is hard to find people, so the horse hoof marks left by the group of knights are very clear. It was very smooth to follow the horse hoof marks.

After walking for about twenty miles, Han Mo slowed down his horse and watched the horse trails on the road leading straight into the valley.

The country of Feng is full of mountains and lush forests, and there are small valleys in the Grand Canyon. It is not surprising that such a small valley is as numerous as cows in Feng country.

"Sir, they have entered the valley..." Hongxiu whispered: "I don't know if they are just passing through this valley or stopping in the valley. If they stop in the valley, we will enter rashly and easily be discovered by them... whether they will go and investigate!"

Han Mo waved his hand, "No, they didn't leave, they were in the valley!"

Hongxiu frowned slightly, but she didn't know why Han Mo was so sure.

"I heard the neighing sound of horses in the valley!" Han Mo smiled faintly, "It should be their horses... They should be resting in the valley!"

Hongxiu frowned and said, "The horse's neighing?"

Han Mo smiled and nodded. He had practiced the "Qi Jing". His facial features were much better than ordinary people. The horses neighed in the valley were very weak, and it was blowing at this time. From west to east, the sound of the valley was not as good as the wind, which was difficult for ordinary people to hear. Even if Han Mo had extremely keen hearing, he could only hear a very unclear movement. Although Hongxiu was calm and calm, there was a gap in listening skills compared to Han Mo, so he could not hear the horses neighing in the valley.

"Our horses can't get in!" Han Mo turned over and got off the horse and handed the reins to Hongxiu. "You go back a few miles and find a secret place to tie the horse into the forest. I'll wait for you here!"

Hongxiu took over the reins of the horse, without saying much, turned his head, rode on the horse, and took Han Mo's horse away.

Han Mo originally wanted to enter the valley alone, but in this way, it is very likely that Hongxiu would have the illusion that she would avoid her in everything. Naturally, it was not a good thing for the relationship between the two, so he decided to let Hongxiu enter the valley together.

After all, Hongxiu has extraordinary skills. If she is by her side, if she really encounters trouble, it will also have a powerful help.

Not long after, Hongxiu returned. The sky became darker and Han Mo didn't say much. He went straight into the valley. Hongxiu had already pulled out the dagger in his hand and followed Han Mo closely.

There was a stream in the valley, with gurgling streams and weeds in the valley. The waist-high weeds show that it is indeed rare to visit. A muddy path interspersed in the grass and extended into the depths of the valley. Han Mo could see clearly that there were horse hoof marks of the group of knights left on the trail. He did not walk from the trail, but stuck it into the walls of the valley, and his body was hidden in the lush grass, looking into the depths of the valley.

Less than a moment, the neighing sound of horses coming from the valley became clear. Hongxiu finally heard the neighing sound of horses. He glanced at Han Mo, obviously surprised why Han Mo could hear the neighing sound of horses outside the valley.

The valley is narrow, with high mountain walls on both sides, and dense forests on it. The sky is dark and the valley is quiet. The mountain walls on both sides give people an inexplicable sense of oppression, and the entire valley is even more gloomy.

After walking for a while, he saw a shadow moving not far ahead. The two of them hid their bodies in the grass and slowly approached the past. Both of them were martial arts practitioners, with a strong sense of alertness. Walking in the lush grass and being cautious, it was extremely difficult to detect.

As we approached, we saw that the shadows were all horses. Nearly ten horses were gathering in the valley, all of whom were leisurely chewing on the lush grass, from time to time, tilting their heads and neighing twice.

"Cave!" Hongxiu whispered.

Han Mo looked up and saw that there was a cave that was indented on the left side of the mountain wall. It was more than one person high and two meters wide. It was pitch black inside, just like the mouth of a giant beast in the wilderness, quite terrifying.

Han Mo stopped and no longer moved forward. He just squinted his eyes and looked at the cave quietly. He knew in his heart that if he guessed correctly, the group of knights would now live in the cave.

Those knights were all very heroic, but why did they live in this narrow valley and in such a terrifying cave?
