Xiao Jianli and the others walked northwest along the foothills of Xiaoxinganling Mountains. Chen Ziang followed them for more than ten miles and roughly saw their route clearly, so he used Qinggong to rush back to Laohei Mountain, summoned Jiao Huiqing and others to follow them.

Xiao Jianli and others' footsteps continued for dozens of miles without stopping. But the sky gradually became dark, and Chen Zi'ang and the others set up tents in the forest and prepared to spend the night.

Zhou Meier asked: "What are we following Sister Jingru for?" Chen Ziang said: "If I guess correctly, they are going to meet the person behind the scenes. Maybe, we can find the whereabouts of Huaiyi."

Zhou Meier nodded and said, "Who is behind the scenes to instigate the internal affairs of the Clan Alliance?" Jiao Huiqing scolded: "It's probably the second boss Xu Jingzhen!"

This unintentional remark suddenly reminded Chen Ziang that yes, Xu Jingzhen is Xu Jingye’s younger brother. Xu Jingye was once one of the founders of the Zongmenghui. Xu Jingzhen’s influence on the Zongmenghui will definitely not be small. Could it be that again?

Is Xu Jingzhen behind the scenes? These many incidents, from the Dongting Lake pirates, to the Guazhou martial arts competition, the Yazhou rebellion, the secrets of Yinshan, and the kidnapping of ministers in Luoyang City, etc., are all just Xu Jingzhen's conspiracy?

Chen Ziang shook his head. He was convinced that Xu Jingzhen must have accomplices. He could not organize and promote such a huge and elaborate plan by himself.

After the four of them had dinner, they started practicing again. Everyone felt that the intensity of the energy they absorbed was much weaker than when they were on Laohei Mountain last night. Jiao Huiqing said: "It's weird, the closer I get to Laohei Mountain along the way, the more effective the practice is."

The better. As soon as we leave Laoheishan, luck becomes difficult."

Pei Ting also said: "I feel the same way." Zhou Meier also nodded. Chen Ziang murmured: "Is there really a mysterious supernatural power on Laohei Mountain?" He suddenly patted his head and said: "What if there really is a supernatural power on Laohei Mountain?"

Power, maybe this is the secret marked on the third map!"

Zhou Meier was the first to wake up and said: "Brother, it's very possible." Chen Ziang stood up excitedly and walked on the sidewalk with his hands behind his hands: "But why is this a secret? Don't the locals know it?"

"By the way, perhaps only those who practice martial arts are the easiest to detect the existence of these supernatural powers. And the inner view skill is a skill in which the human body absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, so we are most obviously aware of the strangeness of Laohei Mountain!" Chen Ziang slowly understood.

Following his own train of thought, everyone nodded frequently after listening.

It just so happened that the four of them were practicing the Internal Scenery Kung Fu and felt the same way. Chen Ziang broke through it and they suddenly realized it. Zhou Meier clapped her hands and said, "Congratulations, brother, for cracking another secret!"

Chen Ziang calmed down his excitement and said: "This is just a preliminary guess." Jiao Huiqing raised his thumb and said: "But it's almost the same!"

Pei Ting said angrily: "Look at how smart Mr. Chen is, it's not like you have a wooden head." Jiao Huiqing said with a bitter face: "It's not like I'm under your control and have no freedom."

Pei Ting pretended to be angry and said: "Don't you still want to be a general?" Jiao Huiqing waved his hand and said: "How dare you think of changing from a slave to a general..."

Chen Zi'ang and Zhou Mei'er watched them bickering and listened quietly, laughing unconsciously.

The four of them woke up early the next day and continued to follow Jingru's footprints. They had left Laohei Mountain for about a hundred miles, but suddenly found more footprints appearing on the foothills.

Chen Ziang thought for a moment and said, "Let's check this side first." The four of them just hid in the woods and moved forward quietly, when they heard the voices of the Khitan people talking, and a group of more than ten Khitan soldiers walked over in a swaggering manner.

"This is the territory of the Bohai Governor's Mansion. How come there are so many Khitan people?" Chen Ziang asked. Jiao Huiqing said: "When we came, we saw thousands of Khitan soldiers behind the hillside in front. These dozen

, it’s really trivial.”

Chen Ziang understood that maybe this was the Songmo Governor's Mansion recruiting a large number of soldiers and then letting them hide here. It was true that as the grandfather and grandson he met last time said, Li Jinzhong hid them all in the mountains, where the Songmo Governor's Mansion was.

However, there was no abnormality in the military strength on the side.

It seems that Li Jinzhong really wanted to conceal his massive conscription. Why should he conceal it? This would further aggravate the court's uneasiness, and was also the true purpose of the court sending Huaiyi and him here this time.

The four of them followed the group of Khitans for a while. Pei Ting, with sharp eyes, pointed to the distance and whispered: "Look, there is a cave over there with an iron door." Everyone quickly got down and hid themselves.

But he saw a man in black holding a machete jumping out of the woods. He looked around for a long time, and after making sure that no one was there, he quietly approached the cave.

Zhou Meier whispered: "It's Ye Qilang! Why is he alone? Isn't he with Suspicion?" Chen Ziang and the others didn't know that Huaiyi had been captured by the second owner, but he picked up Huaiyi's rosary in the snow, which was enough.

It shows that Huaiyi may have had an accident.

Jiao Huiqing was about to jump out and call Ye Qilang, but was stopped by Chen Ziang, who signaled him to see what Ye Qilang was doing here.

The four of them watched Ye Qilang approach the cave. In front of the cave, there were several Khitan soldiers sitting on the snow drinking. Chen Ziang did not expect that someone had already seen the four of them not far away.

Xu Jingzhen said: "Chen Ziang discovered that a large number of Khitan soldiers were stationed in Xiaoxing'an Mountains. This matter can no longer be concealed." Boss Hei said: "What should we do?"

Xu Jingzhen said: "Hurry up and implement the second plan, send someone to call..." Boss Hei nodded, turned around and ordered the invisible man in black next to him to return to the camp. Boss Hei returned to Xu Jingzhen and said: "Second boss's house

, if we let them escape in this way, it would be unfair, and we would still be in danger."

"There is no way. It is not yet time to raise troops. We must protect the plan of the Songmo Governor's Mansion and prevent the court from being alerted prematurely." Xu Jingzhen murmured: "Did Li Chang find the treasure there?! This guy is so slow in doing things.

....”

***

Ye Qilang was holding a scimitar, a knife as curved as a crescent moon. When he was still more than ten feet away from the entrance of the cave, he suddenly ejected like a rabbit!

The scimitar drew two arcs in his hand. Before the drinking Khitan soldiers could stand up, the scimitar had already cut their throats! A burst of hot blood shot out, but the five drinking men instantly turned into corpses.

fell to the ground.
