Zhang Jinglin and the others determined that Ren Xiaosu was fine from the number three on the ground. If someone could kidnap Ren Xiaosu so easily, it would have to be Ren Xiaosu's own will.
Actually, they did not need to worry about Ren Xiaosu anymore. Out of a humanitarian spirit, they should worry about the warlocks in the Sorcerer Nation instead.
After all, Ren Xiaosu's nickname of the Stronghold Destroyer was not just for show. To be precise, it was actually a summary of his past.
Big Bluff had already started notifying the intelligence personnel in the Sorcerer Nation. If they discovered any unusual situations, such as whose Sorcerer Tower or castle had collapsed, they were to rush over and meet up with the Young Marshal to see if the Young Marshal needed any help with intelligence.
Zhang Jinglin kept a very low profile when he returned to Fortress 178, but most of the high-ranking commanders knew about his itinerary. Everyone was a little puzzled. Didn't the commander say he would take two months to accompany the Young Marshal around the outpost? Why was he back so soon?
Moreover, where was the Young Marshal? Why didn't the Young Marshal come back?
Where was the Young Marshal who had been with the commander just a while ago?!
However, no one explained anything to them. Zhang Jinglin, Wang Fengyuan, Big Bluff, and the others who knew the inside story all kept it a secret.
When the high-ranking commanders saw them behaving like this, they knew it was probably a top secret again. It was better not to ask about something they were not supposed to know.
Big Bluff returned to Stronghold 144 straight away. But before he could even get back to his residence, he saw Yang Xiaojin standing at the intersection.
Yang Xiaojin asked calmly, "You were doing fine in Stronghold 144, so why did you suddenly head over to Fortress 178?"
Big Bluff laughed it off and said, "I'm in charge of intelligence work in the field, so there's bound to be something to report."
"Didn't Mr. Zhang also go to the outpost with Ren Xiaosu? Who do you report to at Fortress 178?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
"Wang Fengyuan, of course. He's one rank higher than me, and I'm his subordinate." Big Bluff explained, "Miss Xiaojin, don't overthink it. The Young Marshal only went to the outpost on foot. He'll be fine."
It was not that the Great Hoodwinker wanted to hide it from Yang Xiaojin, but he was worried Yang Xiaojin would impulsively go to the Warlock Nation. If she did not find Ren Xiaosu and encountered a warlock instead, that would not be good.
After all, even though Yang Xiaojin was a supernatural being, strictly speaking, she was still a sniper who needed the protection of her teammates. If she rashly went to the Sorcerer Nation, it would indeed be very dangerous.
Just as Big Bluff was about to say something, Yang Xiaojin suddenly took a step forward and pinched the pulse of Big Bluff's wrist with two fingers. Then she stared into Big Bluff's eyes. "Did you encounter a spy?"
"Did you encounter danger?"
"A strange creature?"
"A warlock?"
"A sneak attack by a supernatural being from the Wang Clan?"
"Yeah, it looks like it was a warlock."
Yang Xiaojin did not wait for Big Bluff to answer her series of questions. She used Big Bluff's pulse rate to verify her judgment!
Big Bluff was dumbfounded by the question. He did not expect Miss Xiaojin to have such a unique skill up her sleeve!
Wasn't she a little too versatile?
Big Bluff said with a wry smile, "Miss Xiaojin is too amazing."
Yang Xiaojin smiled. "I was just bluffing you. What can you judge from a pulse?"
With that, Yang Xiaojin turned around and left.
Big Bluff was stunned. He thought to himself that he had fooled a lot of people over the years, but it was really rare for him to be fooled by someone else. It was no wonder the Young Marshal was captured by the other party.
As he watched Yang Xiaojin leave, Big Bluff anxiously called for the intelligence personnel. "Keep an eye on Miss Xiaojin's movements. If anything happens to her, the Young Marshal will probably poke a hole in the sky!"
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin did not return home. Instead, she went straight to the black market outside the stronghold. On the way there, she even gave Zhou Yingxue a call.
When she arrived at the black market, Zhou Yingxue was already obediently waiting at the entrance.
"Um … Madam, do you want to go in for a walk?" Zhou Yingxue asked weakly.
"I'm not shopping anymore. Come with me," Yang Xiaojin said.
"Go?" Zhou Yingxue asked curiously, "Where to?"
"Something might have happened to your master. Come with me to a place outside of Fortress 178." Yang Xiaojin turned around and left.
Zhou Yingxue hurriedly followed. "Master? What happened to him? "
"It has to do with the wizards." Yang Xiaojin said, "First of all, Ren Xiaosu is definitely fine now. Otherwise, Big Bluff wouldn't have returned to Stronghold 144 so easily."
"Since Master is fine, what are we going to do?" Zhou Yingxue asked curiously.
"Just because he's fine now doesn't mean he'll be fine in the future." Yang Xiaojin said calmly, "Why? You don't want to go?"
Zhou Yingxue lowered her head and said submissively, "I'm willing, I'm willing …."
After Yang Xiaojin left the black market with her maidservant, the intelligence staff in the black market immediately passed the news to Big Bluff.
Big Bluff gave a wry smile. It looked like he did not manage to scare Yang Xiaojin.
However, Miss Xiaojin did not seem to be a rash person. She had actually sought help first.
With Zhou Yingxue by her side, there shouldn't be any problems.
Others might think that Zhou Yingxue was only ranked on the supernatural list because of the Eight Great Guardian Deities. But as the Young Marshal's confidant, Big Bluff knew that Zhou Yingxue was already a legendary supernatural being who could destroy an entire city.
Legendary was probably the collective term everyone used for those supernatural beings who could take on 10,000 enemies alone.
Big Bluff thought to himself, 'Now that even Miss Xiaojin and Zhou Yingxue might be entering the Warlock Nation, could it be that the Young Marshal's Plan to Promote the Northwest 3.0 is to destroy the Warlock organizations?!'
Why did Fortress 178 exist? Logically speaking, it was to prevent the Warlock organizations from plundering the population of the Middle East.
Why did they want to promote the Northwest? Logically speaking, it was also to prepare for the future war, and the target of the war was the Warlock organizations.
In that case, destroying the Warlock organizations would also be considered as promoting the Northwest.
Well, this was very much in line with the Young Marshal's logic!
…
At this moment, Magus was leading Ren Xiaosu, Liu Ting, and Li Chenggong, the two Sheepmen, all the way west.
However, Ren Xiaosu realized that Magus Magus was very cautious in his movements. Even though he had already left the range of the sentry posts, he still chose to travel at night and would often change his route.
The further they went to the Northwest, the stronger the sandstorm. Sometimes, it would only take a few minutes for the violent sandstorm to cover up everyone's footprints.
"Hey, the warlock in front, don't hurry on with such a big sandstorm." Ren Xiaosu used his shackled hands to pull up the scarf covering his mouth and nose to prevent the sandstorm from getting into his mouth. "Hurry up and get those two sheep men to set up the tents. We'll talk after we rest for the night!"
Magus Magus was expressionless. At some point, he was wondering when he would be able to reform this young man from the Middle East!
