Pei Yun is not someone who will sit and wait for death.
If Xiao Cheng wanted to kill him, he would definitely fight back. Moreover, there was no hatred between him and Xiao Cheng. But if the other party wanted to do this to him, Pei Yun would definitely not tolerate it.
After following Lu Jingxuan's advice, the marching team stopped and rested on the spot, actually letting Yan Kan release the eagle to explore around.
At the same time, Pei Yun asked Leng Qingqiu to go out for some investigation. With her skills as a first-class master and her past as a killer, she was very experienced in anti-tracking.
In a dense forest, two men in black were hiding in a bush. They were the Black Feather Guards who were left behind to monitor Pei Yun and his group.
They have received a message from the palace asking the border troops to set up an ambush, so they need to know the movements and locations of Pei Yun and others so that the border troops can set up an ambush.
Otherwise, if the border troops set up an ambush in the west, and Pei Yun and others went to the east, wouldn't that be a joke?
When it comes to tracking, the two are professionals and won't get too close. They just need to hang at the back and be able to see the team's position.
“They stopped.”
"It should be a break."
"We've only been walking for a short time and we're already resting. I wonder how long it will take to get to the border town."
"Be patient and wait. If this is done well, it will be a great achievement."
As the tall man in black spoke, he took out a piece of cold, hard steamed bun from his arms and started to eat it. Since Pei Yun and the others were resting, they didn't need to keep a close eye on them and could just fill their stomachs first.
Another shorter man in black also took out a cake and ate it while looking in the direction of Pei Yun and others.
Just as the two were chewing their dry food, the tall man in black suddenly fixed his eyes and whispered, "Someone is coming!"
The short man in black quickly stuffed the cake in his hand back into his arms, raised his head vigilantly, and looked in the direction of his companion's gaze.
I saw a slender figure moving back and forth among the shadows of the trees in the distance like a ghost, at an extremely fast speed but silently.
"It's the female guard beside Pei Yun."
The tall man in black lowered his voice and his expression changed slightly.
Although they had never seen Leng Qingqiu's skills, they had heard that during the celebration banquet held in the palace, this woman had fought with the guards of the Xie family and won in the end. Although she had used a hidden weapon to launch a sneak attack, it also showed that this woman was a second-rate master.
Both of them were third-rate, so they didn't dare to be careless at all.
"You left the team alone and searched everywhere. Do you think someone is following you?"
"What should we do? Retreat?" the short man in black whispered.
"Don't move." The tall man in black held the other man's shoulder. "Our place is very secretive. If we retreat, the other party will definitely notice."
The short man in black said, "She is heading in our direction. If we don't move, we will be discovered sooner or later."
"I have a plan."
The tall man in black slowly picked up a piece of mud from the ground, exerted his strength and shot it away, making a sound.
Leng Qingqiu rushed over instantly.
"Walk!"
The two men in black left quickly. Although they were only third-rate warriors, they were very good at martial arts and left silently without alarming Leng Qingqiu.
At this time Leng Qingqiu had already arrived at the place where the sound came from. Seeing that it was a piece of mud, he frowned. It seemed that someone was indeed following them.
It's quite cunning. He must have seen her, so he used this method of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
She searched the area carefully but found no clues, so she had to return.
The two men in black breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Leng Qingqiu did not chase them.
"It seems that Pei Yun has become suspicious. We have to be careful." said the tall man in black.
The short man in black nodded and said, "Let's retreat a little further and keep our distance. With so many people on the road, there will definitely be traces along the way. When we get to the border, we can get closer."
The two men quickly cleaned up their traces and quietly retreated into the jungle further away.
On the other side, Leng Qingqiu returned, feeling somewhat ashamed, "Master, someone did follow us, but I didn't find them."
Lu Jingxuan said: "The Black Feather Guards are well-trained. Some are good at fighting, some are good at sneak attacks, and some are good at tracking. It is normal that we can't find them. Now it depends on whether the eagle can find them."
Pei Yun thought for a moment and said, "If the enemy is in the jungle, with trees blocking the view, it may be difficult for the eagle to find him. Let's move on and find an open place to rest and see if we can lure him out."
Everyone nodded. Yankan blew a whistle to call the eagle back. After everyone had rested, they set off again.
A day later, everyone came to an open area and stopped to rest again.
Lu Jingxuan said: "My lord, since the other party knows that we are suspicious, I am afraid they will not show up so easily. They can easily judge which direction we went based on our traces."
"You have a point. If they want to check for traces, they will definitely come here. So, you and Qingqiu stay here to hide, and I will lead the others to move forward. If they come to check for traces, we will capture them."
Lu Jingxuan smiled and said, "My Lord, I think alike."
But Pei Yun held a strange object in his hand and handed it to him. "This is a telescope. Take it. It will help you better track him."
After teaching Lu Jingxuan how to use it, Lu Jingxuan was shocked. This... isn't this the clairvoyance in mythology?
I originally thought that the clairvoyance was something that grew on the body, but I didn’t expect that I could take it off and give it to others to use. It really broadened my horizons.
Leng Qingqiu said calmly: "I can stay alone."
Pei Yun shook his head. "It's safer to have two people. No one knows how many people there are on the other side. I don't want to see you in danger."
Hearing Pei Yun's words, Leng Qingqiu felt warm in her heart and said nothing more. Pei Yun also gave her a telescope.
