After the old man repeatedly reminded Gu Yuan to be careful, he turned around and left alone.
Gu Yuan stayed alone behind the towering tree, carefully observing the big black dot in front of him. According to the old man, that was Qingliang Mountain.
Qingliang Mountain was located about two or three miles away from Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan hid behind a towering tree, so it was impossible for Qingliang to discover him, but Gu Yuan could observe the situation there carefully.
The Qingliang Mountain in the distance is not very high. It is surrounded by trees and is a place with green mountains and clear waters. Gu Yuan sighed that these horse thieves really know how to enjoy themselves. They chose a really good environment. It is indeed suitable for living. The surrounding trees are lush and the situation is complicated. For them, it is more suitable for guerrilla warfare and escape when encountering problems.
Gu Yuan sighed that this bandit leader was really smart. However, this was the case, and Gu Yuan was not worried at all. Before coming here, the old man had told Gu Yuan many secret paths around Qingshan. Gu Yuan already knew those paths very well, so Gu Yuan planned to sneak in alone and wait for the opportunity to act.
After a moment's thought, Gu Yuan pulled out his Thousand Machine Mask and covered his face with it. Then, he transformed into another form, a form that resembled the bandit leader. The bandits had already been killed by Gu Yuan, and Gu Yuan, disguising himself as the bandit leader, should be able to slip through. If possible, Gu Yuan planned to use the bandit leader's appearance to infiltrate the mountains and see if he could seize the opportunity to execute the bandit leader.
Gu Yuan prepared his aura, including his body shape and demeanor, and then headed towards Qingliang Mountain.
However, Gu Yuan was still very careful, because he currently didn't know which cave in Qingliang Mountain belonged to them. Based on this, Gu Yuan had to act carefully and not act rashly until he was sure to find their hiding place.
Gu Yuan's movements continued between the trees, shuttling back and forth among them.
The closer he got to Qingliang Mountain, the more Gu Yuan realized that the situation in Shandong was really complicated.
The mountain roads here are very complicated and crisscrossed. According to Gu Yuan's tradition, one must leave hidden marks here to prevent oneself from getting lost. If one gets lost in the mountains, it will be a big problem. Once one encounters any situation in the mountains, if one is trapped in the mountains, then there is only death to be seen.
It must be said that Gu Yuan was quite cautious. This was his character. Therefore, whenever he passed a certain distance in the mountains, he would leave extremely obscure marks on trees or wood. He had to ensure that these marks could be noticed by himself, but also ensure that the marks left by the sudden appearance of bandits or other people would not be discovered.
After pinching off half of the leaves of a bush, Gu Yuan looked at the special mark he left behind and nodded with satisfaction, then continued walking forward.
After entering Qingliang Mountain, Gu Yuan wandered around for about half an hour. When he was about to explore deeper, he discovered something new.
Gu Yuan squatted on a towering tree, using the lush leaves to shield her body. Beneath the trunk, a man was squatting, unbuttoning his clothes.
There was a sound of water, and the man shook his body, uttered a comfortable groan, and then carefully put on his clothes.
Gu Yuan sneered as he looked at the man below, then pounced down from the tree. The man was completely unaware and fainted, never to regain consciousness.
Gu Yuan looked at the man, who had a machete on his back. Otherwise, you'd have nothing better to do than to go to this deep mountain to relieve yourself. Only the people living around here could do that.
Gu Yuan became extremely alert. Since this person could come here to relieve himself, it meant that his residence should be not far from here, which meant that the horse thieves' lair might be nearby.
Gu Yuan looked around and made sure that there was no one else around before he felt relieved. He dragged the unconscious horse thief to a more secluded place and then splashed water on his face.
Cover his mouth to make sure he doesn't make any sound.
The bandit who had answered slowly regained consciousness, his eyes filled with fear. He subconsciously tried to shout, but found his mouth completely sealed. He could not utter a single word.
Gu Yuan looked at him with murderous eyes.
"Don't scream or move, or I'll sew your mouth shut, gouge out your eyes, and throw you into the mountains to feed the dogs."
The man who woke up hurriedly closed his mouth and shook his head vigorously, telling Gu Yuan that he would not shout or move.
Seeing how obedient the man was, the employee nodded and said with satisfaction, "Now I'm telling you to open your mouth. You'd better behave yourself, or I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death."
The man nodded vigorously again before he let go of his mouth and put a knife to his neck.
He saw the man and said, "I'm asking you a question, so give me an honest answer. I hope you tell me the truth, or you'll be in great pain. I'll have your tendons ripped out, and you'll be left to feed the dogs in this deep mountain."
Then Gu Yuan looked at the man and asked, "Are you a horse thief living in these mountains?"
The man hesitated, then shook his head.
Gu Yuan sneered and inserted the knife in his hand directly into the man's thigh, then pulled it out fiercely. Gu Yuan pinched the man's mouth hard with his hand so that he could not make any sound. The man wanted to shout out in pain, but found that he could not make any sound at all.
Gu Yuan sneered and said, "It seems that you didn't take my words to heart at all. Do you think I really can't do it, or do you think you can withstand my methods?"
The man shook his head vigorously, then nodded.
She gestured frantically at Gu Yuan, who asked, "What's the matter? Do you admit that you are a horse thief in this mountain?"
The man nodded vigorously again.
Gu Yuan continued, "Okay, since you are a horse thief, then tell me which cave in Qingliang Mountain your headquarters is in. Tell me honestly."
The man rolled his eyes and asked Gu Yuan to open his mouth. Gu Yuan reminded him, "Remember this. If you make any noise or lie again, you will die miserably."
The man nodded vigorously to show that he understood.
