"Then what should we do?" King Julu frowned.
"Leave people at the places that have been searched. If there's any movement, shoot an arrow to warn us. Don't let everyone leave after every search." Wu An thought for a moment and said.
"Alright, let's do that." King Julu nodded.
In another valley, Zhong Shan looked at Lu Jianli and said, "Have you prepared enough rations this time?"
"Yes, we've been storing some every day. Together with what we prepared in the past, we won't have to cook for a long time." Lu Jianli said.
"That's good. The adults can eat some rations. As for the children, you can heat them up if you have vital energy," Zhong Shan said.
"Yes." Lu Jianli replied.
Lu Jianli went back to inform his people, while Zhong Shan slowly walked back to the sedan chair.
"Mister, mister is really a god." Ah Da said with great admiration.
That's right, this was an impenetrable dragnet with no blind spots. Yet, Zhong Shan still managed to bring his men through the gaps of the dragnet. They didn't even come into contact with the net.
"Get ready to set off. Head west." Zhong Shan smiled.
"Yes!" Ah Da and Ah Er shouted excitedly.
Zhong Shan walked back to the sedan chair and entered the interior to continue drinking tea with Princess Qian You.
Princess Qian You stared at Zhong Shan with wide eyes. Her eyes flashed with surprise as she said, "Mister, how do you know so clearly? You can even guess the arrangement of the royal soldiers of Julu and when and where they'll go? "
"It's just luck." Zhong Shan shook his head and said.
Luck? Princess Qian You looked at Zhong Shan speechlessly. In the past, Princess Qian You could roughly guess what Zhong Shan did. But now that Zhong Shan brought people and left, Princess Qian You couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. She didn't understand.
In King Julu's tent.
King Julu listened to the report of the general kneeling on the ground.
"You're saying that they don't cook anymore and are eating dry rations? And the people you sent were still foolishly standing guard there until five days later, when they started a fire to cook again eight hundred thousand li away. Only then was a small soldier discovered? "King Julu looked at the general in front of him and asked with a conflicted expression.
"Yes," the soldier replied.
"Zhong Shan and the rest brought dozens of mortals with them. Mortals, I don't blame you if you can't beat them, but you can't even see them? Only when they broke through the heavy encirclement and walked to the edge of the encirclement did you realize that they had started a fire? "King Julu said angrily.
"Your Highness, we've already done our best. If we had double the manpower, we would definitely be able to find Princess Qian You's group," said the general.
"Alright, I'll transfer another four million troops over. Don't tell me you can't see anyone again," King Julu said angrily.
"Yes, this general will definitely find Princess Qian You this time." The general immediately swore.
"Scram," said King Ju Lu.
The general immediately got up and retreated all the way out of the tent.
Seeing the general retreat, King Julu was once again infuriated. Four million troops had captured a few mortals, but they had escaped right under their noses. They hadn't even seen a single one of them.
"Ahhh!"
The furious King Julu waved his hand and the tea set on the table flew away. Wu An opened his mouth, but didn't dare to interrupt.
"Mister, it's the eight million troops chasing us now. King Julu must have gone mad with anger, "said Ah Da excitedly.
These days, Ah Da trusted Zhong Shan very much. There was nothing he couldn't solve.
However, Zhong Shan's brows were tightly knitted. He looked east, south, west, and north. He looked in all directions, but his brows didn't relax. That was because the red luan and pink lotus between his eyebrows had always been blue. Previously, he had provoked King Julu's killing intent and offered a reward of one million high grade spirit stones for the army to kill him. This time, he didn't return to normal as soon as he saw a safe route. This meant that he was surrounded on all sides and had nowhere to run.
After taking a deep breath, Zhong Shan suddenly closed his eyes and pondered for a while.
Seeing that Zhong Shan was deep in thought, everyone waited patiently.
Suddenly, Zhong Shan opened his eyes. He stared at Ah Er and said, "We're in danger with eight million troops this time. Ah Er, you'll lure the pursuers away this time. "
"Mister, me?" Ah Er was puzzled.
"Yes, go to the mountain two hundred thousand kilometers northeast. Show yourself to the army and let them see you. Then, keep flying north. For three days, you have to let them see you every day." Zhong Shan stared at Ah Er and said.
"Uh, then how do I find Mister when I return?" Ah Er frowned.
"Find? It's hard to find. When the time comes, do as you see fit. If you can find us, it's best. If not, go directly to the Great Light Imperial Dynasty's Spirit Sealing City and wait for us. We'll definitely arrive in half a year at the latest. At that time, we'll contact you according to the method I told you before, "Zhong Shan said confidently.
"Yes," Ah Da replied and then left.
"Mister," Ah Da looked at Zhong Shan worriedly.
"Rest for the night. We'll set off tomorrow. Have Lu Jian start a fire and cook. Prepare some rations, "Zhong Shan said.
"Uh, yes," Ah Da replied with a strange expression.
"Mister," Princess Qian You looked at Zhong Shan after Zhong Shan finished instructing her.
"Uh?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"These past few days, I've been thinking about how Mister knew about the Great Yu Empire's army's arrangement and search. We have an army of eight million soldiers, and they can't even detect us when we pass through them. I once thought that Mister might be observing the stars at night, but some of Mister's decisions are made during the day. Qianyou doesn't understand, so I would like to ask Mister to enlighten me." Qianyou's beautiful eyes stared at Zhong Shan like a curious child.
Zhong Shan looked at Princess Qian You and smiled. "Princess, would you believe me if I said that I guessed?"
Guessed? Princess Qian You was speechless. "Alright. Since Mister doesn't want to talk about it, I won't ask."
"Many thanks, Princess. Zhong Shan only has this much ability. If I tell you everything, I won't have any food to eat in the future," Zhong Shan said with a bitter smile.
"Pfft ~ ~" Princess Qian You laughed for the first time.
"Mister won't have any food to eat? I don't think Mister won't have any food to eat either, "Princess Qian You said with a smile.
King Julu's tent.
"Your Highness, we found him. Our people saw Ah Er. I've already sent people to search for him," one of the generals in front of King Julu said excitedly.
"Good. I'm not afraid of him being strong. I'm just afraid that he won't appear. Chase after him," King Julu said excitedly.
For three consecutive days, King Julu was in a state of excitement. Good news came one after another every day. Ah Er had been found.
If it was in the past, King Julu wouldn't even be bothered to look at such 'good news'. Was it worth being so excited to see someone who hadn't been caught? However, eight million soldiers couldn't even see a shadow of their opponent for a long time. Anyone would feel aggrieved. Seeing a shadow was naturally a good news, a great news!
However, three days later, something depressing happened again. Ah Er was gone again.
The eight million soldiers searched frantically. It wasn't until close to half a month later that King Julu realized that he had been tricked again.
Ah Er left, leaving Ah Da to ride on the cloud.
Their journey was smooth and they didn't meet anyone.
The outside world was searching vigorously. Birds and beasts were jumping about in the forest, and the soldiers were in full swing. However, to Lu Jianli and the others, everything was terrifyingly quiet. During this time, Zhong Shan led the way, and they didn't meet a single person. It was as if everyone in the Great Yu Empire had died along the way.
Looking at the deathly silence in the forest, Lu Jianli was at a loss!
Lu Jianli was also extremely suspicious of the news that he had forced the soldier to give him. Was the Great Yu Empire's army really searching for them? Why couldn't they see a single person? Their group had been traveling east and west, and they had even gone back. Sometimes, they would rest for a day and night in some places, but they didn't meet a single soldier.
"Sir, it won't be long before we reach the Great Guang Empire. We have been flying for close to a month and a half, "Ah Da said excitedly.
Ah Er hadn't returned, but it didn't matter. As long as they reached the Great Guang Empire's territory, they should be safe. At least the Great Guang Empire wouldn't chase them endlessly like King Julu.
"Ah Da, we are in trouble again. This time, we need you to lure away the pursuers. They are closing in again." Zhong Shan shook his head.
"Oh? I'll go? Then what about you? "Ah Da asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. We are not far from the Great Guang Empire. You said that there is a Wolf Valley not far ahead. I will use elixirs to hire the Wolf Tribe for help. For this distance, Lu Jianli and the other Xiantian experts from your family can carry the sedan chair," Zhong Shan said.
Ah Da frowned. He was bewildered and turned to look at Princess Qian You.
"Go, Ah Da. Although I am still weak, I should be fine being carried in the sedan chair. Moreover, it has been a month and a half, and I have regained my True Yuan. Do as Sir says. With Sir, we will definitely reach the Spirit Sealing City, "Princess Qian You said.
"Yes." Ah Da nodded.
Then, Zhong Shan explained how to lure the pursuers away, and Ah Da left quickly.
After Ah Da left, the worry of the pursuers was resolved again. Zhong Shan found Lu Jianli.
"Lu Jianli, find four Xiantian experts from your family to be in charge of carrying the sedan chair," Zhong Shan said.
"Those two seniors left? Are we going to walk west? "Lu Jianli was surprised.
"Don't worry about it. I will take care of everything," Zhong Shan said.
"Yes," Lu Jianli replied.
