Chapter 42 Tracking
The black-faced man wearing a felt hat saw the middle-aged man entering the woods, and did not follow him directly, but went around to the other side and carefully entered.
The trees in front of him were lush and silhouettes. He looked at him with a sudden pain in the back of his head, his eyes turned black, and he suddenly lost consciousness.
Meng Qi carried his vest and clothes, walked back to the place, threw it to the middle-aged man, and said calmly: "Be careful when walking."
Although the oasis is cooler than the desert and abundant water vapor, it is not as comfortable as the spring in the heart of the Central Plains. The middle-aged man was originally a little hot, but at this time his vest was covered with dense cold sweat on his forehead. A chill rose from his heart and was tracked! He was tracked by someone but he didn't know!
"Yes, it's too careless." He replied with a rapid breathing.
Meng Qi and Gu Changqing dressed up in other ways when they met him, with a black cloth covering his head, a black robe covering his body, a typical Shake appearance, and a facial scarf covering his face.
"What news did you hear?" Meng Qi was playing with a few pieces of silver in his hand, which made the middle-aged man swallow.
He calmed down and said clearly: "The little one has inquired in the inn, in the restaurant and everywhere. Nearly ten days ago, a gray-robed little master passed by. He lost all his money and begged for alms everywhere. Although he was stupid, he was handsome, honest, and had a lot of gains. He was also remembered. He inquired about the route of the natural disaster and headed to Chelixia."
From this oasis to "Bomi", according to the water source, there are seven or eight routes, and Chelixia is the only way to pass through two of them.
Meng Qi nodded gently, the image and reckless style of describing did indeed match the junior brother: "Is there any other news?"
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Yes, yes, but I think it's too fake, and I'm afraid of tainting the ears of the two noble people."
"But it's okay to say it." Meng Qi's heart moved.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Someone said that the little master of Gray Robe cried and made a fuss on the street, and he pestered him for money when he saw someone, and finally returned to the east of Pamir Mountain. Well, there is no other news."
Meng Qi threw the broken silver at him thoughtfully: "Be careful when you go back."
The middle-aged man looked at the light of silver and money and said excitedly: "The little one knows, the little one knows."
Looking at his left back, Gu Changqing said in confusion: "The news behind is too fake. It is not like the true wisdom you described. If Ma Bing deliberately confuses the public, he should make up a decent lie."
Meng Qi smiled and said, "You have to see through it at first glance that it is a lie to meet their intentions."
"What's the intention?" Gu Changqing was a little puzzled.
Meng Qi smiled and said, "Since there are such clumsy lies, there are probably news that they are deliberately misleading at key points in line with Zhenhui's image. Although Ze Luoju is the leader of the horse bandit and dominates the vast sea, he only commands 30% of the horse bandits, and there are more than one horse bandit leader who is known as him."
There are also many horse bandits who want to go against Zeluoju!
"You mean, the previous news may also be fake?" Gu Changqing suddenly said, "It makes sense. I said there shouldn't be such a clumsy lie. This is obviously the intentional way for Ze Luoju and his rival to remind us that there are more than one or two such people in the vast sea."
He seemed to have opened up his conversation: "For example, the Golden Roof Oasis where my Gujia Castle is located has no power at all, because it belongs to the 'Ice and Snow Sword' and is poisonous..."
"Ice and Snow Mad Sword" is another powerful horse bandit leader in the Hanhai. He is also a first-class expert in the outdoor realm and is incompatible with Zeluoju. It is rumored that behind him was the "Shura Temple" among the nine evil paths, and Meng Nan, the number one master in the Western Regions who condensed the "big Asura body".
In the body, Luo is the transliteration name of the Western Regions, and Anguo is the Central Plains name of the Western Regions.
As he spoke, Gu Changqing's voice gradually became lower because he was revealing his own shortcomings. Gu Family Fort, which has always regarded himself as the righteous, actually wanted to hide from a leader of a horse bandit. Perhaps it was true that he missed the glorious history of the ancestors of the Gu family who traveled across the vast sea, were chivalrous and righteous, and killed the horse bandits, and he did not consciously rely on this.
Meng Qi nodded and said nothing, protecting Gu Changqing's face.
Gu Changqing suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed: "Meng Qi, am I ridiculous? He said he was a hero, but the family had to rely on the leader of the bandit. If your enemy was not Ze Luoju and his gang, but he was a poisonous person, I am afraid, I would not have the courage and courage to help him. I am afraid, I am afraid of implicating my family..."
"If you 'do the chivalrous and righteousness' regardless of your family, I may look down on you and cannot even maintain the survival of your own family. What are you talking about?" Meng Qi comforted Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing looked at Meng Qi's eyes and saw that his eyes were sincere, he felt relieved: "So should we find the leader of the bandit who had spread the false news? He and Zeluoju are enemies, so he will definitely be willing to help us and provide us with the correct information."
Meng Qi waved his hand: "Don't worry, maybe his hostility towards Ze Luoju is also disguised?"
I have seen a lot of this kind of trick, and I am not careless than before. Now I have rich experience in the martial arts world.
"What?" After Gu Changqing was shocked, he thought about it carefully. This is indeed the truth. He should not underestimate the cleverness of the bandit!
His eyes when he looked at Meng Qi changed, Master Zhending was afraid that he would be circling in his heart, and he was very sensitive to conspiracy!
Compared to him, he is simply stupid and shallow in experience.
"Then what should we do?" he asked sincerely.
Meng Qi pointed to the black-faced man who was unconscious on the ground: "Isn't he still there?"
As he said that, he kicked the black-faced man awake.
The black-faced man slowly opened his eyes, confused, and had not yet understood his situation. It was not until he saw the two black-clothed sandals above that he woke up and said in shock and fear: "What do you want to do?"
"I want to ask what you are planning to do? Say! Why are you following us sneakily?" Meng Qi shouted loudly, trying to be the "gangster boss".
"I, I don't, I just go into the woods." The black-faced man replied in panic, "Two heroes, spare me, I don't know anything."
Meng Qi moved his right foot to his finger and gently stepped on it, making the black-faced man creepy: "No, don't, don't force it."
"I never say that I am a cruel person, but I am not a human being when I am cruel." Meng Qi said "threateningly".
The black-faced man looked at him firmly and sighed, "Hero, if I honestly explain, wouldn't I kill me?"
"Of course, I'm a good person." Meng Qi sent himself a good person card, which made Gu Changqing laugh and cry.
The black-faced man took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "I am the subordinate of the big archer. I specifically investigate the news and convey the situation of the caravan in this oasis. This time, the big archer ordered and waited for the people who were inquiring about the whereabouts of the little monk and the old monk in the oasis. This was how I followed him just now."
"Big mail?" Meng Qi didn't know much about these bandit numbers.
Gu Changqing introduced: "The big guy was intoxicated and didn't know what he had done. He fled from the Central Plains to the Hanhai and formed a team of horse bandits, calling himself the "big guy". He is very strong and is said to have opened six orifices, and there are many capable people under his command. Not only are there five or six masters who are good at it, but also the military advisor "Smile Fox" Yu Lin who is good at planning."
"They are used to operating in this area, but they have never thought that they have secretly applied to Zeluoju."
Meng Qi nodded and continued to ask, "So, Chelixia is a fake news you deliberately released? To lead us into an ambush?"
"It's not fake news. The little monk did go to Chelixia, but I asked the inn owner and the guys selling information to hide something." The black-faced man answered honestly.
"What's the matter?" Gu Changqing asked.
The black-faced man's expression was distorted: "Conceal the fact that the valley near Chelixia is a large camp. In this way, if someone asks about the whereabouts of the young monk, he will fall into the trap."
"Where is that little monk?" Meng Qi asked in a constant tone.
The black-faced man whispered: "I was arrested by the big box and waited to give it to Boss Zeluo as bait."
"The answer is honest, I will spare your life." Meng Qi kicked the black-faced man in the head with his right foot, causing him to faint again.
After a coma for a while, the black-faced man woke up slowly and found that there was no one in the woods. His face changed a few times, and he quickly got up and returned to the market town.
At this time, two figures suddenly appeared in the woods, which were Meng Qi and Gu Changqing.
"Why don't you go to Chelixia to save Zhenhui?" Gu Changqing was very puzzled why he had to wait on the spot. Saving people is like putting out a fire!
Meng Qi smiled and said to him: "We can't believe whatever others say. No matter what information we have, we have to verify it."
"How to verify? Find the horse bandits on the other side?" Gu Changqing asked in confusion.
Meng Qi pointed to the black-faced man who was looking around and looking back while walking - he was preventing him from being followed: "'look for' him, otherwise why would you think I wouldn't kill him?"
Isn’t it because you are a monk? Gu Changqing muttered in his heart.
Meng Qi walked out of the woods with his hands behind his back and said, "Changqing, you are waiting here."
They are already familiar with each other and no longer need to be called Gu Gongzi Gu Gongzi.
"Hey, you will be discovered by following this way!" Gu Changqing has never seen anyone who follows him swaying. As long as the other party turns around, he can see him!
Meng Qi's clothes did not change, but he took off his black face towel to avoid attracting the attention of passers-by. He carried his hands on his back and walked slightly behind the black-faced man, without any intention of avoiding him.
The black-faced man habitually kept looking back, but his eyes always passed through Meng Qi and turned into the distance, as if there was no one there!
Seeing Meng Qi swaying behind the black-faced man, the black-faced man turned around and ignored him. Even though the sun was high and bright and brilliant, Gu Changqing also felt a kind of sinister chill.
What's going on?
