Chapter 397 Why not do something good by using a knife to kill someone?
Hui Sanniang, who was ready to die, and Daji, who was forced to land, were still lying on the ground with their teeth bared. They looked up and watched Sang Zhixia being held by Xu Yu, and she landed safely and lightly but extremely steadily.
The two people who fell down had envy written all over their faces.
Hui Sanniang rubbed her waist and took a deep breath, then she mustered up her courage and said bitterly, "Look, after all, I should find a reliable man."
"It's different when she goes out with her man."
"Brother Meng, don't you agree?"
After hearing the joke, Xu Yu remained calm and his breathing was not even irregular.
However, Sang Zhixia couldn't hold it anymore. She calmly pulled Xu Yu's hand away and turned her head away pretending to be calm.
Meng Pei stood up expressionlessly, his words filled with silent vigilance: "What are you looking at me for?"
"Don't look at me."
Hui Sanniang felt very aggrieved: "I..."
"Hey, Sanniang, just give up on that idea."
Daji, clutching his chest, still congratulated himself on his narrow escape, saying sourly, "Brother Meng already has someone close to him, why are you rushing to join in the fun?"
"But speaking of which, Brother Meng, if you weren't the king of Mount Qingcheng, how did you get caught here?"
"I heard that you and Big Beard were having quite a blast in Qingcheng Mountain, weren't they?"
Meng Pei felt a headache when he heard the words Qingcheng Mountain. When he was about to tell them to shut up, he saw Cheng Qi running towards him with a happy face.
Meng Pei narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
Cheng Qi turned his back to Xu Yu and whispered, "Young Master, our people have arrived."
After landing, Cheng Qi searched the bottom of the cliff as usual and found the contact mark there.
The presence of this mark proves that the information Xu Yu left behind when he lurked on the mountain was not in vain.
The people who were previously trapped and searching on Guanye Road have followed the marks and have found Huwei Mountain, but they have not yet found the way to go up the mountain. However, the people who came to rescue are nearby.
Now that our people have arrived, the next things will be much easier.
Xu Yu breathed a sigh of relief calmly: "Let's retreat now."
"Send a message to Cheng Yi and the others, telling them not to delay here and not to leave any traces that might arouse suspicion. Retreat to Ancheng immediately."
The various bizarre legends of Huwei Mountain, the gunpowder of unknown origin, and even the revenge for the kidnappers this time can be discussed later, but we have to leave now.
Xu Yu said this with a hint of mockery in his eyes. He said sarcastically, "Besides, these people may not live long enough to see me settle the score."
With a killing god as huge as Old Qi in front and a mountain of gunpowder behind, maybe after today, Huwei Mountain will become another illusory legend in Shu.
Why not do something good by using a knife to kill someone?
Xu Yu bent his fingers and whistled three times in succession, and the secret guards who had come here responded with whistles.
The three short and one long whistles stopped, and I looked around but couldn't see any human figure, as if what I had just heard was an illusion.
Hui Sanniang and Daji, who were originally chattering, dared not speak anymore and instantly turned into silent quails with their necks shrank.
Meng Pei looked around with a complicated expression in his eyes. He pretended not to notice anything and said calmly, "Let's go. I'll lead the way."
At the bottom of the cliff, there are dense forests, rocks and weeds taller than people everywhere, making it difficult to tell the direction.
But Meng Pei walked in front as if he had been here countless times, without any hesitation.
Sang Zhixia followed him through the weeds that threatened to drown her. She hooked her finger with Xu Yu's and whispered the question she hadn't had time to ask the whole time: "Did you find what you wanted?"
Xu Yu cut aside the weeds that blocked his path, tucked Sang Zhixia's hand into the hem of his clothes to hide it, and said in a voice only Sang Zhixia could hear, "I just grabbed some randomly and didn't look closely, but it should be useful."
Old Mrs. Qi didn't say anything, nor did she give Xu Yu another chance to explain it in detail.
Running out of the secret room while being chased and hacked, Xu Yu only had time to hurriedly stuff the things he found into his arms. He didn't even know what he had taken with him.
However, as long as Hu Wei's crime of colluding with officials such as Bai Chengren to commit evil is confirmed, the officials in Shu who colluded will be found out after a simple investigation.
Even if this incident fails to pin the crime of collusion between officials and bandits on the prince, it can still increase the charges against Bai Chengren and others and kill most of the prince's followers in Shu.
It's not a wasted effort.
Sang Zhixia felt relieved after hearing this. Seeing Xu Yu's frown, she felt a little puzzled. "We've found it, what are you still worried about?"
Xu Yu paused without elaborating, and gently stroked Sang Zhixia's wrist as if to comfort her.
"I thought of some untrue rumors, but I'm not sure whether they are true or not."
"Don't worry, just go back and ask and you'll know."
Sang Zhixia didn't think of who he was going to ask for a moment, and thinking that it was inconvenient to talk, he didn't say anything more.
Following Meng Pei's guidance, the group walked for about half an hour and successfully arrived at the edge of the official road.
The secret guards who received the news had already prepared horses here, as well as some simple dry food and water.
Xu Yu peeled off the cold, hard crust of the pancake and handed the relatively soft core to Sang Zhixia: "Zhizhi, I can't find anything better for now, so just have a couple of bites of this to fill your stomach."
"You sit down and rest for a while, we will set off back to Ancheng in a moment."
I don’t feel tired when I’m mentally tense, but once I get to a safe place, the fatigue that has been suppressed for a long time begins to overwhelm me.
Sang Zhixia confirmed that the bleeding wound on Xu Yu's arm showed no signs of worsening, and took a piece of the pancake weakly with a gloomy expression.
"The mountain collapsed. Hu Wei and the others should be on their way back after hearing the news."
"If we go back now, will we run into them?"
Xu Yu held the opened water bag to Sang Zhixia's lips, motioning her to take a sip. He raised his hand to wipe the water stains from her mouth and sneered, "It would be better if we ran into him. We can send him to hell sooner rather than later."
Even if there had not been Old Qi's great revenge, Xu Yu would not have allowed Hu Wei to live.
Every culprit who planned to kidnap Sang Zhixia and wanted to harm her must die.
As Xu Yu spoke, he glanced at the side with an ambiguous look. Hui Sanniang shuddered sensitively and immediately pressed Meng Pei, who was confused, to the ground.
Sang Zhixia didn't notice this detail and muttered, "Forget it. Elder Qi helped me after all."
"The old man is so angry that his eyes are bleeding. If you really get there first, he won't be able to rest in peace even after he dies."
If he was intercepted and could not kill his enemy, Qi Lao's next target would most likely become Xu Yu.
There is really no need to cause such unnecessary trouble.
Xu Yu smiled noncommittally and said nothing. Just when he was about to ask his men to set off immediately, he suddenly heard the dull sound of horse hooves hitting the ground not far away.
The fatigue in Sang Zhixia's eyes instantly disappeared, and she subconsciously looked up at Xu Yu: "Not one of us?"
