Before he could finish his last word, he ran away without a trace.
"Why are you running so fast? Did you eat too much and your pants are wet?!" Lin Guodong behind him was very angry.
"General, do you need to leave a few people to wait for the major general?" asked a subordinate.
After all, they all knew that although Major General Lin looked careless, he was actually very sensible. He was probably just going out to relieve himself, but he must have discovered some new clues.
"Huh!" Lin Guodong sneered.
It goes without saying that these young men who are not very experienced in the world have wrong ideas.
It didn't look like his eldest son had discovered any new clues; it was obvious that he was worried. Xiaoyao wanted to go and take a look.
I was too lazy to expose that kid's tricks, so I pretended to be angry and said:
"What are you waiting for? Who is that little brat? He needs help even when he's peeing?! Just go ahead, he'll come when he's done."
…
At the same time, in the dense forest less than ten miles away from Xuan Ling and her team.
In front of the silent army of tens of thousands, a group of Xianyuan followers in fluttering white robes were galloping on horseback.
One of the men with fluttering sleeves was moving in a very strange way, controlling his body from rising and falling with the horse while shaking something that looked like a copper bell to a certain rhythm.
The bronze bell did not make a pleasant sound like an ordinary bell, but rather a strange sound that seemed to scratch one's eardrums.
However, the sound is very small and it is difficult for most people to detect it. If you get close to it, you will just feel a little uncomfortable in your ears.
If you observe more carefully, you will find that the rhythm of the nearly 10,000 soldiers behind him is surprisingly harmonious with the sound of the bell.
It's as if he was being controlled by someone!
A little further ahead, a young man with an air of nobility was sitting in a carriage that was decorated to look like an immortal.
The man looked absent-minded, and after pushing away the fruit that the maid passed to his mouth, he opened the curtain and looked out. He asked unhappily:
"Where are we? The master ordered us to reach Nanyang County at the beginning of the evening hour, but now the moon is at its highest point in the sky, how come we haven't even crossed the border yet?!"
"Yu'er, don't worry." A beautiful woman beside him came forward immediately and tried to help him straighten his messy collar with pity.
As soon as she reached out her hand, the man shrugged it off. The beautiful woman then remembered something and awkwardly withdrew her hand. She quickly changed her name,
"Young Master, we have just passed through Cangling County, an important town in the southern border of Beichen State, and are about to enter the territory of Nanqi State. It should take a few hours for us to reach Nanyang County."
"Some time ago, I don't know what Wang Sirou did when she went crazy. She ruined our good deeds everywhere. She plotted against the Northwest Border Army that we took away, causing us to be attacked from all sides, and she also sent people to hunt us down everywhere."
The beautiful woman's tone became resentful when she mentioned Wang Sirou, and even her soul-stirring eyes were a little more harsh.
Upon closer inspection, wasn't she the concubine of Prince Kang, Shen Yuren, who had been causing trouble in Yunzhong County not long ago? !
"Fortunately, our lord was wise and had quietly given hallucinogens to He Huaiyuan's troops. We used magic to control them and helped them resist for a while, and only then did we manage to escape from Southern Qi."
"Unfortunately, after several tough battles, there are only a few Southern Qi soldiers left for us to use. While we were fleeing in panic, we received an order from our master to come to Beichen to take away the group of private soldiers of the Queen Mother who had been drugged."
"After several twists and turns, a lot of time has naturally been wasted. If the master knew, he would surely be understanding and wait a moment."
Shen Yu seemed to be comforted after hearing her words, and his expression eased a little.
"Well, I heard that the master has been preparing for this for a long time. In order to make the plan foolproof, he also devised a plan in advance to lure the master behind the Sheng family to another place. Although the rest of the Sheng family are brave, they are no match for those aliens."
"The master had no intention of letting us participate in the attack on Nanyang County. He had other purposes for us to bring this group of Queen Mother's private army with him. In this case, it really won't be a big deal if we arrive later."
The young master of the Xianyuan Sect glanced sideways at the tens of thousands of troops behind him and couldn't help but sneer.
"Haha... Queen Mother Beichen is really very shrewd. She has been cooperating with us for many years and has always been very calculating. She cannot tolerate any loss. Little did she know that all the free gifts that fell from the sky were actually secretly marked with a price."
"Do you really think you are so easy to deceive, that after listening to her empty promises, you will work hard to make beauty medicine for her and give her private army secret herbs for cleansing the bones and marrow regardless of the price?"
"If the master didn't want to use her to control the various forces in the Beichen court, who would have the ability to deal with such an old hag who is calculating all the time? This time, they took so many people away without anyone noticing, the old hag must be mad, right?"
"But this is just the beginning. Before long, when the old hag is poisoned to the bone and just lets us do whatever we want, she will know what it means to be with a tiger."
At this point, everyone around couldn't help but chuckle.
Looking closely, these people were dressed very similarly to the several Flower Palace masters and elders who had appeared before. They were all high-ranking figures in the Xianyuan Sect.
The Plum Blossom Palace Master, who had narrowly escaped the disaster in Jin County, immediately answered the call.
"And the Sheng family! Young Master, don't forget that they ruined everything before and were one of the main culprits that caused us to flee everywhere! We will never let them go this time!"
"Hmph! Don't worry." Shen Yu was also filled with anger when he mentioned the Sheng family.
"They have ruined the master's plans time and again, so how could the master let them off easily? It is said that this time the master is in the Evil Dragon Swamp, preparing a great gift for the master behind the Sheng family. He can't even protect himself now, let alone take care of the Sheng family."
"Even if the Sheng family escapes the aliens' siege, they will probably be seriously injured. If we rush over now, we can deal with them all at once!"
He couldn't help but smile happily when he said this. Then he waved impatiently at the man holding the bell.
"Tell those people behind to hurry up. The Sheng family has hurt us so badly. If we get to Nanyang County earlier, we might even see them being hunted down like wolves."
The Xianyuan believers around had suffered a lot from the Sheng family before. After hearing this, they couldn't help but speak more excitedly.
The man holding the copper bell had a look of pain on his face, but he held his breath and increased the rhythm of shaking the silver bell, leading the puppets behind him who had been drugged to gallop desperately.
But at this moment, a ghostly figure suddenly fell from the top of a tree about dozens of feet away.
The Xianyuan believer who was at the front was startled and hurriedly pulled the rope tight. However, Shen Yu carefully looked at the cloaked man in front of him and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Miko? You're not dead?"
"Okay, the two bodies found by the King of Jingnan's hidden guards turned out to be fake. You actually ran away with your sister!"
In fact, in Xiaoyao's memory, the man in black who assisted King Jingnan in giving Xiaonan the medicine and thus controlled her was a member of the Xianyuan sect.
It was just that in order to hide his identity, the other party used some special means to erase her related memories. When Sheng Nanxi asked her at the beginning, she couldn't answer clearly.
Afterwards, Xiaoyao decided to follow Sheng Nanxi, so Gu Yuancheng had someone forge evidence of the two sisters' fake deaths.
Now seeing the person who was originally dead reappear out of nowhere, Shen Yu was so shocked that he forgot that Xiaoyao, who had no relevant memories, should not recognize him.
As if he suddenly figured something out, he said sarcastically:
"Why? You heard someone promise that you could cure Xiaonan's poison, so you foolishly betrayed your master. Now you find that no one can cure your master's poison, so you come back anxiously?"
"But if this traitor leaks information again, she won't be treated as well as before. Catch her and take her back to teach her a lesson!"
As soon as the voice fell, several Xianyuan followers immediately swooped up and stabbed at the girl in the bamboo hat with their swords!
