Greetings Hall Master Jiao Xue Yun signaled Bai Xiao and the others with his eyes as he quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Greetings Hall Master Jiao Bai Xiao and the others also quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Compared to Bai Xiao, the others were obviously nervous when they lowered their heads.
Previously, Xue Yun had said that under normal circumstances, there would only be 30 guards here and one of them was a deacon level guard general.
But now, Hall Master Jiao had suddenly appeared. Moreover, there seemed to be more than 30 people here, at least 60 to 70 people.
This had completely disrupted their plans.
Hmph! Did you see Du Mu and the others on the way back? Hall Master Jiao casually sized up everyone and asked Xue Yun.
Deacon Du? No. Did they also go out to carry out a mission? Xue Yun said with a puzzled face.
It shouldn't be. They just left this morning. Logically speaking, they should have just left Changqiu City Hall Master Jiao also had a puzzled face.
This is also very normal. Perhaps when we just entered the city, he had already left from another gate. Xue Yun said.
"Impossible! Do you know what mission he accepted? Hall Master Jiao denied.
What mission?
The same as you, to capture Cheng Yu. How could he have left from another gate? Hall Master Jiao said.
The same mission as us? Didn't we already accept the mission? Xue Yun said.
You? Do you know how long it has been? Then have you completed the mission? Did you kill Cheng Yu or capture him alive? Hall Master Jiao asked disdainfully.
Obviously, he didn't believe that Xue Yun could complete the mission.
I... Xue Yun was speechless. He really couldn't answer this question.
However, if he knew that Cheng Yu was by his side, what kind of expression would he have?
Of course, there was a bigger problem now.
Hall Master Jiao's appearance had disrupted their plans. He didn't know what Cheng Yu was planning to do, so he was anxious.
Hmph! The king already knew that you couldn't capture Cheng Yu, so he sent Du Mu and the others to support you. In the end, you came back first. What exactly is going on? Hall Master Jiao continued.
Hall Master Jiao, you can't blame us. This Cheng Yu is too powerful. Because of this, even Deacon Song lost his life. We can only come back to ask for help. At this time, Bai Xiao stood out and replied.
"Humph! A bunch of trash. Did that Cheng Yu have three heads and six arms? Since you're back, follow me to see Elder Leng! "Hall Master Jiao said.
"This …" Xue Yun was shocked. Wouldn't it be even more chaotic if he went to see Elder Leng now?
"Is there a problem?" Hall Master Jiao asked with a cold expression.
Xue Yun thought for a moment and said, "We've rushed all the way here and are covered in dust. It doesn't seem appropriate for us to meet Elder Leng like this. I want to go back to wash up and change my clothes before meeting Elder Leng!"
"Elder Leng is very concerned about Cheng Yu's matter. Since you are back, you should go and see him as soon as possible to explain the situation clearly. Why are you being so polite?" Hall Master Jiao said.
"Hall Master Jiao, there's something I don't know if I should tell you or not!" Just as Xue Yun was in a dilemma, Bai Xiao spoke up once more.
"What is it?" Hall Master Jiao frowned as he looked at Bai Xiao.
He especially disliked people who didn't know how to respect their seniors. When he was talking with the deacon, how could it be a disciple's turn to speak?
However, he also wanted to listen to what Bai Xiao had to say first. If it wasn't something important, it wouldn't be too late to get angry
"I didn't think of it before, but when I heard Hall Master Jiao mentioned that Great Deacon Du had also received a mission, it reminded me of a strange thing we encountered on our way back." Bai Xiao said.
"What strange thing? Quickly say it! "Hall Master Jiao obviously didn't like to see this disciple deliberately mystifying things.
"It's like this. Not more than a few hundred miles east of Changqiu City, we saw a few corpses. If it was just ordinary corpses, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the problem is, these corpses were people from our foreign dynasty. Furthermore, we found these identity tokens on them. "Bai Xiao said as he took out a few tokens.
"This … this is our eagle token?" When he saw the eagle pattern on the token, Hall Master Jiao was immediately shocked.
The eagle pattern represented the identity of this person. He belonged to the foreign king's faction.
Although Xue Yun wasn't his subordinate and belonged to another hall master, Feng Lin, they all belonged to the foreign king's faction. Therefore, their identity tokens were all eagle tokens.
Now that Bai Xiao took out the eagle token, it meant that the corpses they had encountered belonged to their faction.
"That's right. We were wondering why they would die there. But now that Hall Master Jiao said that Great Deacon Du had led people out, I wonder if these corpses are their people? "Bai Xiao said.
"This … shouldn't be possible. If something really happened to them, they would have returned long ago. But now that you all have returned, and you haven't seen them, it shouldn't be them! "Hall Master Jiao said after thinking for a moment.
"But they all have eagle tokens. I wonder if anyone else has left the foreign dynasty during this period?" Bai Xiao said.
"No. Apart from your two groups, no one from the Eagle Faction has left the foreign dynasty in the past few months. Of course, we don't have anyone here, but I don't know about the other side! "Guard Deacon Gao Feng said.
"I don't think so. We really haven't sent anyone else!" Thinking of this, Hall Master Jiao became more and more convinced that these corpses might be related to Du Mu and the others.
"Oh! By the way, after hearing what everyone said, I remember that this thing seems to be Great Deacon Du's! " Just as Hall Master Jiao was hesitating, Xue Yun looked at Bai Xiao and suddenly realized something. He quickly took out a string of tassels.
"This is …" Seeing this thing, Hall Master Jiao's eyes narrowed.
This was not an ordinary string of tassels. There was a yellow crystal on it, which was obviously used to increase the power of magic weapons.
"Hall Master Jiao, doesn't this look like the thing on Great Deacon Du's big hammers?" Xue Yun asked.
"Yes, this is the tassel on the Crescent Moon Hammers. It can increase the power of magic weapons by 10%. I didn't expect you to find this thing. Did something really happen to him?" Hall Master Jiao's expression changed.
"Hall Master Jiao, I think if this thing really belongs to Great Deacon Du, then they are very likely to be attacked.
However, although we found a lot of corpses, we didn't find Great Deacon Du and the others. We only found this string of tassels, which shows that they may not be in danger.
But they were attacked and didn't come back, which also shows that they may be in trouble. So if we rush over at this time, we may be able to find them or save them! "Bai Xiao said.
"Well, it makes sense! Then I will go and report to Elder Leng now. I will take some people to check the situation! "Hall Master Jiao nodded and felt that what Bai Xiao said was very reasonable.
"Hall Master Jiao, we are just going to check the situation now. It is not appropriate to bring too many people. What's more, Great Deacon Du and the others may be in a critical situation now. Every moment is very important to them. If we wait until we gather people, I am afraid that Great Deacon Du will miss the best opportunity to rescue them! "Bai Xiao hurriedly explained.
"That's true. But I have only brought 30 people now. Isn't this too few? More than a thousand of them were attacked. It can be seen that they have a lot of people. "Hall Master Jiao frowned.
"What does it matter? We still have more than a hundred people here! "Bai Xiao said.
"You? Aren't you going to see Elder Leng? "Hall Master Jiao said.
"Seeing Elder Leng is fine, but Great Deacon Du and the others may not be able to hold on for long. Besides, if we don't go, how will Hall Master Jiao find the place? "Bai Xiao said.
"That's good too! With more than a hundred of you, it should be enough. Xue Yun, do you have any objections? "Hall Master Jiao looked at Xue Yun and said.
Now, he had a good impression of Bai Xiao and even admired him a little.
At least he was much stronger than Xue Yun. In the future, he would have to pay attention to him. Maybe in the future, he could arrange for this person to be under him.
"Since Hall Master Jiao has spoken, how could I have any objections? I will bring my men and follow Hall Master Jiao now." Xue Yun somewhat guessed what Cheng Yu wanted to do.
Since he had spoken, he would definitely follow Cheng Yu. As long as everything was done according to what he said, it would definitely be what Cheng Yu wanted.
"Very good! If this time, we can really save Du Mu and the others, then I will ask Hall Master Feng for merit. Even if you are unable to capture Cheng Yu, I can also help you plead with Elder Leng. "When Hall Master Jiao saw that Xue Yun was also so obedient, he felt a lot more comfortable.
To be honest, it was for the best that Xue Yun and the others were willing to go.
Not only did it save him a lot of time, but if an accident were to happen and they died, it wouldn't be his men but Feng Lin's men. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
"Thank you, Hall Master Jiao!" Xue Yun's face immediately revealed joy.
"Hall Master Jiao, then do I need to report this matter to the higher-ups?" When he saw they were about to leave, Gao Feng quickly followed and asked.
"Temporarily not. If we still haven't returned after three days, then you can report to the higher-ups and bring people over to support us!" Hall Master Jiao thought for a moment and said.
This was a good opportunity to render meritorious service.
If Du Mu and the others were to really be in trouble and he was able to save them, Elder Leng would definitely record it down for him. Even becoming the main hall master was not impossible.
Therefore, how could he give such a good opportunity to others?
He had to go and take a look at the situation first, unless he really had no other way.
However, he didn't feel that he really had no other way. He was the White Sun Palace's Vice Hall Master. His strength was very profound. It wasn't something that ordinary people could compare to.
