"Let's take a break!"
"Now?" Hibiscus looked at the sky, then looked at Niu Youdao. It was only the middle of the afternoon, and they were going to take a break now?
It was impossible for them to hide for the entire trip. The return journey was very far, and it would take a lot of time. Furthermore, they had to be prepared for any unexpected situations. They were already on their way back.
"I keep feeling that something is wrong. Let's send someone to check the surroundings first." Niu Youdao gave a reason.
As soon as he said that, the group of people became vigilant. For a person with sharp judgment, there must be a trigger if he felt that something was wrong. Naturally, it was better to be cautious. There was nothing wrong with being cautious.
They immediately did as Niu Youdao said and sent a group of people to check the surroundings.
Niu Youdao himself also went to check the surroundings.
After searching for a while, Niu Youdao groped his way to the edge of a canyon. The canyon in front of him was the place where he had escaped from the pursuit of the various countries.
After observing the surroundings for a while, Niu Youdao dived into the torrent again, fumbling around in the torrent to do something new.
He had no choice. When he changed into the Misty Pavilion's attire to escape from the pursuit, someone saw him appear.
Logically speaking, the various countries would not keep their eyes on the Misty Pavilion's people. However, he had to be careful. If something really happened, he would never admit that he had impersonated the Misty Pavilion's people. Without evidence, unless he was forced to do so, no one could do anything to him.
But the problem was, once they started investigating, he had to give an explanation. Since you did not impersonate the Misty Pavilion's people, how did you escape? Don't tell me you don't even know how you escaped?
He lured the group of people to take this route so that he could come back and do something. He wanted to prepare an explanation just in case.
This was also the reason why he asked the group to stop and rest in the vicinity.
That day, the people who searched around did not find anything strange. However, the sky had already turned dark, so they could only stay for the night.
The next day, the group set off again.
After nearly two months of return journey, they finally arrived at a place not far from the exit of the ancient forest.
For ordinary people, the exit wasn't that close. It was still a full day's journey away.
Yi Xing had been in hiding for too long. For the sake of safety, he had cut off contact with the other parties. He knew nothing about the situation of the other parties and did not dare to get too close.
"What should we do? There was still half a month before the opening of the exit. Someone should have already arrived at the ancient forest to set up an ambush. That area was likely to be controlled by someone. Once someone went there, they might be discovered. It was not advisable to send someone to investigate the situation. Are you sure we can get through this last hurdle? " Fu Hua, who was standing at the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Now, how to leave had become a big problem.
But what could he do? He had already done what he had to do, and he had already offended those he should have offended. He had no choice but to face them.
Niu Youdao: "Even if we can't, we have to! Since it's not appropriate to send someone over to scout out the situation, let them send someone over to report the situation. "
Hibiscus: "What do you mean? Tongue scratching? "
Niu Youdao told her directly, "I have people in all the forces, and I have a way to contact them."
You have people in all the forces? Hibiscus and the others looked at each other.
Niu Youdao did not explain further. "Big Sister, Brother Lang, pick some people and come with me."
At this point, there was nothing to be particular about. Hibiscus and Lang Jingkong listened to him and each picked a few dozen experts.
Niu Youdao also brought Wu Zhaoxing and the other two along. He also asked Situ Yao to pick some people to accompany them.
Safety first. He did not like to fight and kill. Fighting and killing were risky, and it was better to bring more people with him. If they encountered any fighting and killing, it was better to let others do it.
Yi Xing and the others spread out their spies to scout ahead. They carefully pushed their way to the periphery of the ancient forest. Niu Youdao found a hill and asked his men to prepare firewood.
Yi Xing did as he was told, but Lang Jingkong could not help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Niu Youdao: "Setting fire to the mountain!" Without waiting for the other party to ask, he pointed to the sky and said, "I have an appointment with my men. When the smoke rises at noon, they will come and find me."
Lang Jingkong and the others immediately understood. The ancient forest was too big. They were afraid that they would not be able to see the smoke from afar, so they had to make the fire bigger. When they saw the smoke, the relevant forces would naturally send people to investigate. At that time, Niu Youdao's men would take the opportunity to come and find them …
It would be hard for the fire to not get bigger if dozens of people set fire to a large area at the same time. The forest in this area might not be able to survive, but for a large group of people, who would care about this?
When the fire started, Niu Youdao waved his hand, and the group quickly retreated to the tallest hill a few miles away.
When they reached the hill, Niu Youdao left a mark for his men to look for and continued to retreat …
"There's a fire!"
On the canopy of the ancient forest, the people who were on guard noticed something amiss. With a call, many people flew up to the canopy to take a look.
Looking at the rising smoke in the distance, Ji Yude looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Send some people to see what's going on. Be careful!" Someone shouted from below.
Ji Yude immediately came down in a flash and volunteered to join the people who were going to investigate.
He followed the group and flew out of the ancient forest and arrived at the blazing mountain fire zone. As the people looked around, he looked around and locked on to the tallest hill in the area.
When he reached the tallest hill, he found the road sign and looked around. After confirming that no one was following him, he immediately followed the road sign.
He flew and landed in a hidden valley. He saw the destination sign, but no one was following him. Ji Yude looked around.
Niu Youdao, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the opposite hill. After confirming that it was safe and no one was following him, he dashed out and met up with Ji Yude.
There was no need to be courteous. Niu Youdao directly asked about the situation.
He didn't know if he didn't ask, but after he asked, he found out that the development of the situation had deviated from the direction he had predicted after he escaped by pretending to be someone from the Misty Pavilion. The forces did not chase after the people of Yan, Wei and Qi, nor did they start fighting.
In other words, his plan of letting those people kill each other did not succeed.
As such, things were really troublesome. Facing a large number of people blocking the exit, it was almost impossible for them to break through the blockade. Most importantly, he did not escape alone. He had to bring a large number of spiritual seeds with him!
Ji Yude was not the only one who arrived. Another five people arrived.
Fu Hua, who was secretly leading people to guard the surroundings, looked over and muttered to herself, "This guy really has people planted in the various factions. Various factions? I wonder if I have them. "
Ji Yude and the others looked at each other. They did not know of each other's existence. Now that they saw each other, they could roughly guess that they were all of the same status.
They did not hesitate to expose each other. They also realized that at this critical moment, Niu Youdao could not care so much anymore.
Looking at the six people in front of him, Niu Youdao's heart was not heavy, but he was a little silent.
He knew that some people were not on this side and did not see the signal he sent, and some people might never appear again.
After listening to everyone, he knew that the State of Zhao had been destroyed by the joint forces of Jin, Han and Song. The people planted in the State of Zhao by Waning Moon Pavilion had probably suffered as well.
A wisp of a cold smile appeared on the corners of Niu Youdao's mouth when he found out from them that someone had informed him in secret and accused him of colluding with the three neutral sects, and he even grunted coldly. "I've already shown mercy, yet you want to court death. Then don't blame me!"
He knew who did it the moment he heard it. It could not be anyone other than Yan Baoru!
If Xu Huo had followed his plan, the situation would not have developed like this.
He did not have the Bitter Pill, and he had not even seen what the Bitter Pill looked like. He just used a trick to scare Yan Baoru.
Although he used the so-called Bitter Pill to frighten her, he knew from the beginning that Yan Baoru might not be reliable.
The reason was very simple. Yan Baoru had not tasted the real pain of the Bitter Pill.
That woman had her own pride. Once she woke up from her gaffe, if she had not been tortured by the Bitter Pill and was not really afraid of it, she might not be willing to yield to him forever.
But at that time, after he re-evaluated the situation, he still had a glimmer of hope that the legendary Bitter Pill could frighten this woman. He still hoped that he could recruit such an expert for his own use.
So he still gave Yan Baoru a chance. As long as Yan Baoru was obedient, the rest of the things would naturally be done by others. Yan Baoru would not be in any danger, and when she went out, she would naturally come to him for the antidote of the Bitter Pill.
Now it seemed that the hope of subduing this woman was shattered. This woman was still unwilling to give up and jumped out!
The few of them did not know who he was talking about, but they were all sensible and knew the rules. They would not ask what they should not ask.
Someone brought up the main topic. "With the current situation, under the joint blockade of those clans, I am afraid that even the people from Yan, Wei, and Qi Kingdoms will not be able to smoothly pass through. If you want to pass with the first place, I am afraid the chances are not big!"
Niu Youdao said disdainfully, "Joint blockade? A group of people with their own ulterior motives will not be able to stop me from leaving! When you go back, immediately take action and secretly sow discord. I want those three clans to kill each other! "
"This …" The few of them looked at each other. Ji Yude said in a low voice, "It is too obvious to sow discord, and we will be easily exposed!"
Niu Youdao said, "Pay attention to the method! I am not asking you to sow discord directly, but to indirectly create the atmosphere! The three clans of Jin, Han, and Song are not of the same mind. They are like dry firewood piled together, and a single spark can ignite them! The atmosphere created is to let the Jin Kingdom feel that the Han and Song Kingdoms only want to protect themselves and do not want to cooperate with them to obtain any ranking. On the other hand, the Han and Song Kingdoms should feel that the Jin Kingdom is trying to snatch their rewards after so long without any results. The few of you have already met. You can cooperate with each other in your respective camps and let the fire burn! "
