Wu Jie felt that there was an ambush in the peaceful Dragon Gate Pass, while Li Zexuan felt that there were Turks hiding in the forests around Dragon Gate Pass. Neither of them had any evidence, nor were they absolutely certain, they were just relying on their intuition!
Intuition!
The intuition of an expert was a very vague feeling, but many experts believed in this vague intuition. This was because they had escaped from death countless times and relied on this intuition! What's more, at Li Zexuan and Wu Jie's current level of cultivation, they often had a kind of vague premonition of danger. Although it couldn't be called foresight, it could only be said that their sense of danger was far sharper than ordinary people's!
On the other side, Lantian County, Strange Interest Pavilion's new workshop.
"Have you found Little Yu 'er?"
In the Datang Daily's editorial department, Ma Zhou asked a middle-aged scholar with an ugly expression.
He didn't feel anything when he didn't see Li Yu at noon, but after not seeing her for an entire afternoon, he had a bad premonition. Thus, he quickly mobilized the entire editorial department to search for Li Yu.
"Steward Ma, we've searched the entire workshop, but we haven't found Miss Li Yu. We've also searched Plum Village and Han Village, but we haven't found her."
The middle-aged scholar was an editor in the editorial department, and he had a bitter expression as he spoke.
Li Yu had a lively personality and was very popular in the editorial department. Her sudden disappearance had raised the morale of the entire editorial department. Everyone had been searching for her the entire afternoon, but after searching the entire workshop, Han Village, and Plum Village, they still couldn't find any trace of Li Yu. The middle-aged scholar was also feeling very uncomfortable.
"How is this possible? Since Little Yu 'er came to Chang' an last year, she hasn't been to many places. Where could she have gone now? Search! Continue searching! "
Ma Zhou's face was gloomy as he punched the bookshelf beside him and said in a deep voice.
Not to mention that Li Yu was brought into the Datang Daily editorial department by Li Zexuan, just by interacting with Li Yu for a year, Ma Zhou had already regarded Li Yu as his own little sister. Now that Li Yu had suddenly disappeared, he was the most anxious.
"Old Ma! Old Ma! Uncle Niu from Plum Village said he saw Li Yu at noon! "
At this moment, Song Xiaosi's panting voice came from outside the door. Then, Song Xiaosi ran in, panting heavily.
Ma Zhou was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked excitedly, "Little Four, what did you say? Did someone from the Han Village see Li Yu? Where did you see it? "
Huff huff ~!
Song Xiaosi took two deep breaths and replied, "Master Ma, Uncle Niu said that when he came back from Chang 'an at noon, he saw Miss Li Yu riding a horse and galloping on the cement road. She seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn't know where she was going!"
"What?! Li Yu left? "
Ma Zhou was shocked. Then, a look of worry flashed across his face. After a while, he sighed and said, "Where can this child go by herself?"
The middle-aged scholar from earlier couldn't help but comfort him. "Steward Ma, Li Yu was able to come to Chang 'an from Yuezhou alone. This means that she is very experienced. You don't have to worry too much. No matter where she goes, she will be fine!"
Ma Zhou waved his hand and said, "Alright! Everyone, you can leave now. Thank you for your hard work today! I will go back to the academy and see if I can find any clues! "
"Alright! We will take our leave now! "
Everyone in the room cupped their fists and said.
"Mm!"
Ma Zhou nodded, and everyone dispersed. After a while, Ma Zhou also left the room with his hands behind his back and walked towards the door of the workshop.
…
"What? Li Yu left Lantian County alone on a horse? When did this happen? "
Yun Shan, Yanhuang College.
After hearing Ma Zhou's words, Mo Huai was slightly surprised.
The more Ma Zhou thought about it in the workshop, the more he felt that something was wrong. Li Yu had no relatives or friends, so there was no reason for her to go on a journey alone. Thinking back to the afternoon, he seemed to have heard Mo Huai mention that Li Yu had come to Yun Shan, he went back to the academy to ask Mo Huai about it.
"At noon, a villager from the Han Family Village saw Li Yu galloping on a horse on the cement road from Yun Shan to Chang 'an! Mr. Mo, I heard you say that Li Yu came to the academy. What did she come for? "
Ma Zhou replied and then asked hurriedly.
Mo Huai frowned for a moment before muttering, "Li Yu claimed that Wu Jie recognized the jade bracelet on her wrist and likely knew the whereabouts of her parents, so she wanted to go north with the Imperial Court's army, but General Qin refused, so she left!"
Ma Zhou was shocked. "Mr. Mo, you mean that Li Yu pleaded with General Qin but failed, so she went north alone to find Wu Jie?"
Mo Huai nodded, then shook his head. "Not entirely! Miss Li Yu is smart and courageous. She should know that she can't find Wu Jie in the sea of people by herself. This old man thinks that she went north to find Yamachō and wanted to rely on the Yamachō's power to find Wu Jie! "
"How does she know where Yamachō is now?"
Ma Zhou was puzzled.
Mo Huai thought for a moment and guessed, "Maybe she got the news from Qing Que!"
The two fell into silence.
After some time, Mo Huai suddenly said, "Mr. Ma, do you think that Li Yu's parents have something to do with the Turks?"
Ma Zhou was shocked when he heard this. He widened his eyes and said, "Impossible! I heard Little Yu 'er talk about her background. Her parents are definitely Han people! "
Although all the signs showed that Li Yu's parents had something to do with the Turks, Ma Zhou didn't dare to think in that direction. If that was the case, he couldn't imagine how painful Li Yu would be!
When Mo Huai heard this, he wanted to say something but hesitated. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Mr. Ma, don't forget! During the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains was in chaos, and millions of Han people chose to join the Turks! Based on Miss Li Yu's age, she was born at a time when the world's heroes were rising! "
With Mo Huai unraveling the final layer of 'packaging', Ma Zhou could no longer retort and fell silent. According to Li Yu's story, she had been born in a time of great chaos. These countless' coincidences' forced Ma Zhou to believe that Li Yu's parents were related to the Turks, but he had no choice but to do so!
At this moment, Ma Zhou couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Yu. If the truth was true, then Li Yu must have suffered a lot!
…
"Imperial Teacher, other than a few wisps of smoke near Longmen Pass, there isn't any other smoke. It seems like there really isn't an ambush here!"
Night fell. At the foot of a hill in front of Longmen Pass, a warrior whispered to Wu Jie.
Although they had rested for a while while Wu Jie was observing the situation, they weren't feeling well because they were hungry! Originally, they had thought that after passing through the Dragon Gate, they would be able to "borrow" some food from the villagers, but who would have thought that Wu Jie would suddenly go crazy and refuse to come out, causing everyone to be both tired and hungry!
"… Since that's the case, let's prepare to pass!"
Although the ominous premonition in Wu Jie's heart hadn't weakened in the slightest, he also knew that hiding here wasn't a solution. If they delayed any longer, they really wouldn't be able to leave the Great Tang, so a vicious light flashed in his eyes as he sternly ordered.
Even if there was an ambush, Wu Jie was confident that he could break out of the encirclement and escape Longmen Pass! This was the confidence he had in his own strength!
On Cloud Mountain, three Grandmasters and two thousand Imperial Guards couldn't do anything to him, so Wu Jie didn't believe that he would be defeated in a small Longmen Pass!
"Yes! Imperial Teacher! "
The three Martial Artists responded excitedly, then mounted their horses one after another, adjusting the direction of their horses. At this time, Wu Jie also jumped on his horse, and the four of them lined up in a row, intending to use brute force to rush out of the Dragon Gate!
Because at this time, no matter what reason they had, the soldiers guarding the pass wouldn't let them out, so they wisely chose to break out of the pass!
"Charge!"
Seeing that everyone was ready, Wu Jie roared and took the lead, spurring his horse forward and gripping his mace, he charged towards Dragon Gate Pass!
"Charge!"
Seeing this, the other three Martial Artists quickly followed suit, raising their weapons and following Wu Jie's lead, charged forward!
"Dong dong dong ~!"
The rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly exploded on the official road, and the soldiers guarding Longmen Pass soon heard the abnormal movement here. They secretly sent someone to report to Li Zexuan, then shouted in a "panic", "Who is it? This is the Dragon Gate Pass. Get off your horses quickly! "
But the four people on the opposite side didn't seem to hear their warning, and continued to rush toward them!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "
Seeing that their warning was useless, the guards at Longmen Pass began to shout at the top of their lungs.
Suddenly, more than twenty soldiers with Mo Swords rushed out from the turrets on both sides and stood in a row in front of Longmen Pass.
Seeing this, the three Turkic warriors couldn't help but think proudly, "There are only twenty Tang soldiers, how could there be an ambush? Imperial Teacher is too suspicious today, isn't he? "
Not only did they think so, but Wu Jie also thought so. Seeing that there were only twenty Tang soldiers lined up in front of Longmen Pass, he couldn't help but wonder if he was too nervous and thought there was an ambush!
But at this moment, it was useless to think about it. The most important thing now was to get rid of all the Tang soldiers in front of them and rush out of Longmen Pass as soon as possible!
Therefore, Wu Jie clenched the mace in his hand. He wanted to use this blood-stained mace to break a big hole in the fragile defense line of the Tang soldiers!
