However, it was no wonder that the other party did not recognize him.
That day, he and his father had disguised themselves in order to conceal their true identities.
Moreover, they had exchanged blows in the dark of the night. As long as he did not expose himself, it would be difficult for the other party to recognize him.
If the other party knew that he had already exposed his true identity in front of him at first glance, who knew what he would think?
Huo Xiao looked at them coldly with a hint of mockery in his eyes as he lied.
The talkative man was forced into a corner by the knife. He had already begged for mercy, but the other party did not respond at all.
Just as both parties were in a stalemate, the man behind Huo Xiao suddenly asked, "Who are you people?"
The talkative man immediately replied in a loud voice, "We — we three brothers are really not bad people! We were just passing by on a business trip, but who knew that we would be captured and sent to the thirteenth gate for no reason? "
"Grandfathers, please be magnanimous and let us three brothers go."
Huo Xiao could tell that the person who replied did not know martial arts.
In other words, the other party was either their companion or a shield that these people had captured from somewhere.
He signaled to the deputy behind him with his eyes.
The other party immediately understood and said, "Nonsense! Not to mention the fact that all the people locked up in the thirteenth gate are traitors, even if you entered by mistake, the thirteenth gate is filled with traps. How did you escape? "
These words made the real bandit feel slightly more at ease.
He was certain that these people were definitely not from the aristocratic families that he needed to be wary of.
A look of calculation flashed across the injured bandit's lowered eyes.
Based on their current strength, it would be very difficult for them to completely shake off their pursuers and escape safely.
Therefore, he might as well take the opportunity to recuperate and look for a few fast horses with his companions.
As for these people in front of him …
The bandit licked his lips and revealed a sinister sneer.
There were too many unknown small clans among the aboriginals that had suddenly disappeared.
When he sneaked in and coordinated with his brothers outside, he would kill all of these hindrances and replace them!
He purposely coughed twice before raising his head in fear and saying, "If you don't believe us, you can tie us up first and then verify our identities."
Huo Xiao thought to himself, Ha, good timing!
He vaguely glanced at his deputy, and the latter immediately shouted for his companions to swarm forward and tie up the three of them.
"Let's bring him back first and ask the Clan Head before we deal with him!"
Apart from the talkative man, the other two also secretly communicated with their eyes.
However, they thought that they were hidden, but they didn't expect that Huo Xiao's attention never left them.
Huo Xiao's face darkened after he left.
It seemed that these people were also hiding many secrets.
After locking him up, Huo Xiao personally informed everyone about the news.
Lin Mengya felt that it was a little magical when she heard that they had not even fought with each other.
"You caught him just like that? Didn't you say that their methods are very tough and their martial arts are not low? "
No! What happened to the bandits?
Why did he have to stoop so low?
However, Huo Xiao said disdainfully, "They probably had the idea of pretending to be weak, so they didn't resist."
Unfortunately, he was too smart for his own good.
Lin Mengya nodded.
Although Huo Xiao said it casually, she still felt a little uneasy.
According to the information brought back by Huo Xiao and Uncle Huo, those bandits were definitely cruel and merciless.
If it weren't for their high martial arts skills and the strength of their horses, it would not have been so easy for them to win.
But even if they were injured, those people would still have the strength to fight.
Unless they did it on purpose!
But why?
She frowned slightly, still puzzled.
"By the way, I found another two bodies in the grass. I feel that the two of them are the real people who entered the thirteenth pass by mistake. "Huo Xiao threw out another clue.
The reason why he was able to quickly confirm that the other party was lying had something to do with the two bodies he saw.
He had secretly checked and found that both of them were killed with one blow, and there were no traces of martial arts training on their bodies.
In other words, the identity that the bandits had disguised might be these two bodies!
Huo Xiao could not help but grind his teeth at the thought of this.
It was impossible for a fierce wolf to become a harmless rabbit.
The reason why he brought them back was to beat them at their own game.
In this regard, Lin Mengya, Aunt Fang, and Uncle Huo could understand.
But if the three of them were separated and interrogated individually, the bandits would immediately realize that their identities had been exposed.
At that time, wouldn't they be alerting the enemy?
For this reason, Lin Mengya came up with a good idea.
"Let's ask them what their fake identities are first. Then we can send someone to pretend to be here to confirm it. Don't worry that the fish won't take the bait!"
She had many capable people under her command.
Moreover, they should have been locked up in the thirteenth pass for a period of time.
If what the three of them said was false, then they would definitely give themselves away when they tested them.
If they were real, then they could also take the opportunity to spy on the information in the thirteenth pass.
Huo Xiao immediately went to do this.
Lin Mengya wanted to follow him, but she was delayed by Long Tianhao's letter.
"Did His Highness say when he will come back?"
She opened the letter neatly and asked.
The person who delivered the letter was also from the Dark Blade, but it was not Blade One who followed Long Tianhao all year round. Instead, it was Blade Six who was more lively and straightforward.
"In reply to Madam's question, His Highness said that he will be delayed for a few days. Please don't worry, Madam. He will take care of himself and come back to reunite with you as soon as possible."
Lin Mengya was relieved and looked at the letter in her hand.
In fact, over the years, they had been apart more than together.
Except for the year when they were at sea, Long Tianhao often wrote to her.
But most of the time, she didn't reply.
It was not because she was indifferent, but because she didn't want to have too many worries when her husband was away.
This time, Long Tianhao's letter to her was still mostly greeting her.
After a man had a daughter, he was different.
Not only was he more considerate and considerate, but even his tone had unconsciously become softer.
Even though they were an old couple, Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel her face twitch.
She secretly cursed that this guy was getting more and more indecent!
If these words were read by his subordinates, how could she be a person in the future?
At the end of the letter, Long Tianhao summarized three things in the most concise language.
First, there was news about her teacher, Baili Rui.
Previously, Baili Rui disappeared on his own, and then he asked someone to send news. After that, there was no news about him.
But this time, Long Tianhao only found some clues after he personally went to investigate.
It turned out that Baili Rui had been taken away by a group of mysterious people.
They didn't belong to any ancient family, nor did they belong to the Elders.
And coincidentally, the last clue happened to be at the valley leading to the thirteenth pass.
Therefore, Yu suspected that Baili Rui might have been taken away by the people in the thirteenth pass.
But what was their purpose? So what if they knew where Baili Rui was? They were still at a loss.
Second, there was news about the treasure of the ancient family.
She knew that Yu had his own special way of getting information.
But when he mentioned the treasure of the ancient family, she couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
But no matter where this thing came from, if it could really save her child, she would try her best to borrow it.
Yu's message was that this thing would be brought to the clan meeting by the Elders.
Long Tianhao's original plan was to go all out and steal this thing along the way.
But just when they were about to make their move, they found that someone was faster than them.
They didn't know where those people came from, but they were all skilled in martial arts and had a tacit understanding with each other.
But before they could get close to the treasure, they were beaten back by a very tall and strong master.
Strangely, that person didn't kill them, but warned them that even if they stole the treasure of the ancient family, it would be useless.
Although those people didn't give up, they couldn't do anything to the master guarding the treasure, so they could only retreat for the time being.
For this reason, Long Tianhao had to be more cautious and lay low.
The last thing was about the Gong family.
Long Tianhao only wrote about this matter in a very difficult and obscure way.
There was even a code hidden in the sentences that only they could understand.
In summary, there was only one sentence: "The old house of the Gong family has been found."
Lin Mengya's heart sank when she saw this sentence.
There were too many secrets hidden in the Gong family. The reason why Yu was so careful was that he might have found some clues, but he couldn't tell her openly.
For Yu to be so afraid, the secret involved was definitely not small.
For a moment, she couldn't help worrying about her man.
Except for the safety of Long Tianhao and the children, she didn't care about anything else.
After thinking about it, she suppressed the urge to reply to Yu.
No way!
Maybe he was surrounded by danger now.
If she didn't reply, it meant that everything was fine here.
Therefore, she had to be patient for the time being.
After thinking about it, she let Blade Six go, but told him to take care of Long Tianhao and so on.
Blade Six was fast, and he returned to Long Tianhao in one night.
At this time, they were temporarily resting in an abandoned house.
"Master, Madam asked you to take good care of yourself. Everything is fine on her side, please don't worry, Master."
Blade Six stood outside the door.
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Tianhao's slightly tired voice came from inside.
"Well, I got it. Go and have a rest."
"Yes."
In this large abandoned yard, in addition to Long Tianhao and a dozen of his men, there was another group of people, shivering in an empty room.
At this moment, two of them were leaning against the window, quietly peeping at the situation outside.
