Qin Yining had heard of Miaojiang's Gu techniques, but he had never seen them before. Now that he heard Liao Zhibing's words, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You can sense his movements?"
"Yes. If he was close, I wouldn't be able to sense him clearly. But if he was too far away, I would naturally be able to sense him."
Qin Yining trusted Lu Heng in his heart. After going through so many trials and tribulations together, Qin Yining had already seen through Lu Heng's character. He was an ally that was absolutely trustworthy.
"Maybe he just has something to do?" Qin Yining couldn't help but think of an excuse for Lu Heng.
Liao Zhibing said, "Alliance Leader, I can sense that he is heading towards the southeast at a very fast speed."
He could even sense the direction? No wonder it was called the Tracking Gu!
Qin Yining couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Cao Yuqing hesitated and said, "Southeast, isn't that the direction of Da Zhou's border? Could it be that Second Master Lu decided to return to Da Zhou because he was too nervous after being chased by the troops these past few days and his life was hanging by a thread? "
"It would be fine if he simply wanted to return to Da Zhou, but I'm afraid he will betray us." Liao Zhibing said in a deep voice, "If he exposes our location to the pursuers and allows them to surround and attack us to divert the attention of the pursuers and make it easier for him to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty, then our situation will be really dangerous."
Qin Yining heard this and his frown deepened.
"I still don't believe that Second Master Lu would betray us. But it is indeed suspicious that he is leaving like this. "Qin Yining looked at Liao Zhibing," Can the Tracking Gu you mentioned track his location? How far away will it be before it can no longer sense him? "
Liao Zhibing said, "The closer the distance, the clearer the location of the mother Gu and the child Gu. If it is far away, it can only sense the general direction. As for the distance, "Liao Zhibing smiled confidently," It won't be a problem to cross half of Da Zhou. "
Qin Yining couldn't help but praise, "That's a really good ability."
After pondering for a moment, he said, "How about this, let's not make this matter public for now. Let's call the two brothers from the Zhao Family. We'll go to his tent to take a look. After confirming that he's really gone, we'll chase after him and take a look."
Liao Zhibing nodded. "That's good too."
Qin Yining quickly dressed neatly. He wore a thick cotton-padded jacket and a cotton-padded hat. Half of his face was buried in the scarf. Then, he, Cao Yuqing and the three people from the Green Sky Alliance walked through the camp with a natural expression and went to Lu Heng's tent on the other side.
Just as he reached the tent and was about to lift the curtain, he saw a head poke out from the tent next door.
Uncle Arhan asked, "Why are you here?"
In order to avoid the pursuers, everyone was very alert. Uncle Arhan, Harbala, and Chaganbara stayed in a small tent. The three of them took turns to keep watch. Uncle Arhan had just woken up from his nap when he heard footsteps.
Qin Yining made a shushing gesture with her lips.
They were talking at the door, but there was no response from Lu Heng's tent. It was clear that he was really gone.
Qin Yining opened the tent. It was empty. Not only Lu Heng, but his bodyguards Fei Lian and Fei Ying were also gone. The most important thing was that their bags were also gone!
Liao Zhibing lowered his voice and said, "He really escaped."
Uncle Arhan had already dressed properly. He crossed his arms and poked his head into the tent to take a look. His expression also changed. "Where is he? Where did the Patriarch go? "
Qin Yining frowned and asked, "You didn't hear any movement next door?"
"No, although I took a nap just now, I was very alert the whole time. I could even hear someone snoring, but I really didn't hear any movement."
This proved that Lu Heng didn't have a physical collision when he left. Otherwise, the people next door would definitely have heard it.
Liao Zhibing said, "Someone must have quietly left while everyone was resting. These days, we have been pursued by the soldiers. Second Master Lu probably wants to go back to Da Zhou. "
Qin Yining shook his head and said very seriously, "I don't believe he would do that. Before we have conclusive evidence to prove that he escaped, I ask Mr. Liao not to say that, so as to avoid creating a bad impression in front of the clansmen. Moreover, our current situation is really not optimistic. Even if Second Master Lu really went back to his home, it is understandable. Whether he stays or goes, he has the freedom to make his own decisions. "
Liao Zhibing's lips moved, but in the end, he didn't continue to argue with Qin Yining. He only said, "Then what do we do now? According to the Alliance Master, it is his freedom to leave. We can just ignore it. "
Qin Yining looked deeply at Liao Zhibing. His eyes were full of majesty and disapproval. He looked at Liao Zhibing until Liao Zhibing lowered his head. Qin Yining said, "No matter what reason he left, we should chase after him and ask him clearly. Even if he wants to return to his home country, with his personality, he won't leave without saying goodbye. We have to make sure he is safe first. "
Uncle Arhan said, "What the Princess says makes sense. All of our clansmen treat the Princess and Second Master Lu as our tribe leaders. At this time, please give us the orders. We will do whatever you want us to do. "
Uncle Arhan's expression was fervent and his eyes were sincere. Qin Yining was very touched. "Uncle Arhan, what I mean is that we should not alert the clansmen of this matter first. My brothers can sense Second Master Lu's direction. We will chase after him and see the situation first. As for the camp, why don't we leave the two brothers, Harbala and Chaganbala, to lead the team?
Qin Yining also had her reasons for making this decision. If she didn't bring the clansmen of the Minuo Tribe, and if she was suspected of escaping, then the loss would outweigh the gain. She had been with the people of the Minuo Tribe for so long, and she admired the sincerity, enthusiasm, and strength of this tribe. Even if there came a day when she really wanted to leave, she definitely wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. She didn't have such thoughts, so naturally she wanted to avoid any misunderstandings.
Uncle Arhan didn't think too much about it. He only said, "Then I will call two more brothers who are trustworthy and keep their mouths shut. We will quietly ride out and say that we are going to scout the way, and let Harbala and his brother stay behind to manage the camp. We will just hurry back as soon as possible. "
"Uncle is right. Let's do as you say." Qin Yining smiled and nodded in agreement.
Uncle Arhan went to make the arrangements and called two more Minuo clansmen. Qin Yining, Cao Yuqing, and the three people from the Qingtian Alliance also came together. Each of them rode a horse and chased in the direction Liao Zhibing had told them.

When Lu Heng opened his eyes in a daze, he found himself being carried on someone's shoulder like a huge burden. The bones in the person's shoulder made his stomach hurt. When he stood up while running, the angle of his head almost made him throw up.
"You …" Lu Heng coughed twice and suddenly woke up. "Feilian, Feiying! Where are you taking me?! "
"Second Master, you are awake." Feilian, who was carrying him, was panting. His heavy breaths caused a cloud of white mist to appear in front of him.
Feiying, who had been carrying Lu Heng for a while, finally recovered and said, "Second Master, don't panic. We are just taking you home. What's so good about you staying with those barbarians? Isn't it better to go home and be a master? "
Lu Heng shook his heavy head and forced himself to stay awake. He gritted his teeth and reprimanded, "You drugged my water?"
"Second Master, don't be angry. We are doing this for your own good. Look at the life you are living now. You are living like a refugee. You are living a good life at home, eating good food and drinking good wine. When you go out, there is a group of people behind you. Now you are being chased like a grandson. We are doing this for your own good. "
Lu Heng gritted his teeth. His muddled mind was actually able to analyze the current situation and the origin of these two people in an instant.
"Are you following my Second Uncle now?"
Feiying and Feilian's expressions froze. After a while, Feiying said, "Second Master, don't say that. No matter who we follow, aren't we still part of the Lu Family? Following you or Second Master is also for the Lu Family."
"For the Lu Family." Lu Heng's chest tightened and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He trusted them so much. During this period of time, he wholeheartedly treated them as his own brothers. He originally thought that under such a harsh environment, they were still able to go through so much trouble to find him. They were really loyal and valued relationships. Who would have thought that they were only taking him away and handing him over to Second Uncle!
That's right, the position of Patriarch of the Lu Family now belonged to Second Uncle. Feilian and Feiying, in the eyes of outsiders, were loyal to the eldest branch. If they wanted to continue living in the Lu Family, they would have to show their sincerity. Otherwise, why would Master trust them not to betray him?
If he handed him over to Second Uncle, Second Uncle would be able to push all the crimes against the Lu Family onto him. With him as the scapegoat, Second Uncle would be able to sit in the Patriarch's position openly. He would even be able to form a good relationship with Your Majesty and become a direct descendant of Your Majesty.
What a good plan!
Unfortunately, he was swayed by his emotions and trusted the wrong person!
At this time, Lu Heng really regretted trusting them so much!
Now, he had been quietly taken away. In order not to alarm the clansmen, these two didn't even dare to take a horse with them and relied on walking.
If Qin Yining and the clansmen thought that he was afraid of the pursuers and ran for his life, what should he do?
He, Lu Heng, had never been a person who was afraid of death. Feiying and Feilian were betraying their old master for their own selfish reasons. They had even trampled on his reputation and credibility!
Lu Heng was being carried head first. He was both angry and anxious. For a moment, he saw stars and found it difficult to breathe. He used all his strength to pound on Feilian's back. Feiying, who was standing to the side, saw that Lu Heng's expression was not right and hurriedly said, "Quick, let Second Master down to catch his breath first. Don't suffocate him to death. When the time comes, we brothers won't be able to report back. "
