During this period, the two of them chose to walk, and their pace became noticeably slower. However, their efforts paid off, and they unexpectedly discovered a rather steep and narrow path.

The path twists and turns, extending close to the steep mountain wall. If you can successfully cross the towering mountain in front of you, you will be close to the highly anticipated big man.

On this day, a violent wind suddenly arose, howling and sweeping in. The fierce wind, like a sharp blade, scraped mercilessly against Gu Changmu and Yue Yue's cheeks, causing bursts of stinging pain. But even such inclement weather could not shake their steadfast determination to move forward.

Fortunately, they had made preparations in advance and wrapped their heads tightly with thick cloth to protect them from the invasion of wind and sand.

And along the way, Gu Changmu always walked in front, bravely acting as a pioneer, while not forgetting to shield Yue Yue behind him from the flying sand.

After a difficult journey, the two finally made it down the mountain. They looked extremely miserable, covered in dust and grass, with ragged clothes and haggard faces.

It was already midnight, everything was quiet and pitch black all around. After a short rest, Gu Changmu decided to go ahead alone to find out the situation.

You know, this big shot is the focus of many people's attention.

As long as they can successfully deliver that crucial document to him personally, they will be able to help him regroup and make a comeback.

By then, those who have tried every means to prevent his return will probably no longer dare to use insidious and cunning tricks behind his back.

On a quiet night, the whole village was immersed in a deep sleep, without any noise of people.

Only the guard dogs in the villagers' homes would occasionally let out a few low barks, as if warning their owners to pay attention to whether there were any burly uninvited guests lurking outside the courtyard wall.

Over the years, Gu Changmu was always active after nightfall. His long experience of nocturnal activities had made him very familiar with the dark environment.

In this mission, he moved quickly and swiftly through the night as usual, and soon arrived near the residence of the important man.

However, with his keen observation skills and intuition accumulated over the years, he almost instantly noticed something strange - around this seemingly peaceful area, there were no less than three forces hiding and lurking in the dark!

Moreover, judging from the reactions of all parties, these three groups are obviously highly vigilant of each other and are obviously not from the same group.

This situation undoubtedly brought an unexpected turning point to the subsequent action plan.

Gu Changmu did not act rashly, but carefully lurked in a hidden corner nearby, quietly observing the development of the situation.

After about half an hour, when no other suspicious persons appeared, he slowly stood up and quietly left the scene.

After all, there is an important person who is anxiously waiting for him to bring back news, and that is Yue Yue who is still staying in the mountain.

When he thought of her being alone in the mountains and facing many potential dangers, Gu Changmu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of worry and uneasiness in his heart.

So he quickened his pace and rushed to the agreed location eagerly, hoping to reassure Yue Yue as soon as possible.

When he dragged his exhausted body slowly to the top of the mountain, he saw Yue Yue's petite figure still standing quietly there, as motionless as a sculpture.

The biting cold wind whistled past, ruffling the hair on her forehead, but she seemed unaware of it. She just stared intently at the road back in the distance, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and anticipation.

Seeing this scene, his heart suddenly clenched, and an indescribable feeling of pity surged in his heart. He quickly walked to Yue Yue and said in a slightly trembling voice: "It's so cold, why are you waiting for me here?"

Yue Yue gently raised her hand, straightened her wind-blown hair, and smiled faintly, saying, "I found a cave and roasted a fire inside for a while. I felt much warmer. But I still couldn't let you go, so I decided to come down here and wait for you to come back."

Hearing this, the heavy burden on his heart finally settled down, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If Yue Yue had been left standing outside waiting for an extended period in such freezing weather, the consequences would have been disastrous. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel warmed by Yue Yue's thoughtfulness and concern.

Then, Yue Yue turned around and led the way, while he followed closely in her footsteps. After walking side by side for several hundred meters, they finally arrived at the cave that Yue Yue had discovered.

Although the cave was small, it was more than enough to accommodate the two of them. The ground inside was slightly damp, and the walls were covered with moss and water droplets. However, a bonfire in the center radiated warmth, illuminating the entire cave in a brilliant red glow.

After entering the cave, they found a relatively dry place to sit down and rest for a while.

After a moment, Gu Changmu calmed down and began to tell Yue Yue about the important information he had discovered during this trip.

His face was solemn, and he lowered his voice as he spoke, "Tonight, while I was secretly observing that important figure's residence, I discovered that quite a few people were quietly surrounding it. Furthermore, these people didn't seem to be from the same group. According to my initial assessment, there are at least three different groups."

Having said that, he paused, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Yue Yue frowned tightly, her beautiful crescent-shaped brows, and thought to herself: "It seems that this matter is really tricky!" You know, they have been traveling non-stop for several days, and now they are all shrouded in fatigue.
