Not long after, Meng Zhao took Zhu Guangxi and Cao Zhan out and rushed towards the direction from which the young disciple of Fire Dragon Cave came.
Normally, it would be easier to ride a black-scaled horse, but at this time, it was snowing heavily, the wind was howling, the ground was slippery, and even the horse had a difficult time traveling and could not tell the direction.
On the contrary, it was not as convenient as a warrior using Qinggong and Shenfa, so the three of them only walked on two feet.
However, Cao Zhan, who is the worst in martial arts among the three, is also an acquired skill. He practices the Great Sage Splitting the Sky Technique, which is a divine skill between gods and humans. His body movements are naturally extremely fast, and his Qi pulse is extremely long. He is three minutes faster than galloping on a horse.
.
Even though he went out in such bad weather, Cao Zhan did not feel resentful at all, but was very grateful to Meng Zhao for trusting and valuing him.
After all, even Han Pu and Lu Le were not taken along, but he was taken along. This kind of magnanimity is not something ordinary people can have, and it also shows his sincere trust. How can it not be touching?
What Meng Zhao used was the divine dragon's various transformations deduced from the Sky Mirror. When running long distances, it is fast and has long endurance, and its body is covered with a dragon-shaped air film to offset the impact of cold wind and snow.
It makes him look extremely leisurely and comfortable, as if he is playing among flowers.
Cao Zhan's footwork is like a mountain ape leaping and galloping. Between the rise and fall, there is a distance of seven feet. He is so agile and agile that he looks like a ghost among the vast mountain snow.
Zhu Guangxi's movement technique has no special features, he just steps forward, but it stirs up layers of aura and white waves under his feet, bursting out with amazing explosive power, urging him forward. If he does not deliberately slow down, compared to Meng Zhao and Cao Zhan,
Only fast, not slow.
At the beginning, some pedestrians could be seen along the road, leading convoys of mules and horses, going back and forth on the official road. Later, when they turned into a small road, there were basically no people around, and only Meng Zhao and the three of them were walking alone.
Moreover, the three of them could detect some traces left behind along the road, follow the path and correct their position.
These were all left behind deliberately by the Fire Dragon Cave disciple to guide the way, which shows that this person is also very thoughtful.
However, due to the heavy wind and snow, no matter how many traces and footsteps there were, they were quickly drowned by the vast white snow.
What the three of them saw was countless snow elves flying in the air, and the white snow that could not be distinguished from the southeast to the northwest. If it were not for the towering and overlapping cloud and mist mountains in the distance as a barrier, I would be afraid that
I can’t even tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
Fortunately, Meng Zhao was taking Cao Zhan with him this time. This person has been clearing the way around the foot of Yunwu Mountain since he was a child. Even if he lost the traces on the side of the road, he could still follow his memory and description and chase towards the mouth where the doorman of the Fire Dragon Cave was ambushed.
.
When we came to Shanlin Niaokou, because of a fierce battle, the snow-covered Shanlin on the west side fell down a lot. This was caused by the strength of the inner family and sharp weapons such as swords, which destroyed the nearby snow layer.
The sweep was ineffective, and outside the forest, there were dozens of broken stones of different shapes distributed in a fan shape.
Cao Zhan held a sharp and heavy sword, jumped lightly, landed in front of the forest, and investigated, and then came back with a heavy face to report.
"Sir, the situation is not very good. It seems that the group of people who were ambushed were so panicked that they scattered and fled in three directions. One was back to the county town, the other was towards the front of Yunwu Mountain, and the third was heading towards Yunwu Mountain.
How can we pursue it along the depths of the forest?"
Meng Zhao didn't know how Cao Zhan used it to figure out that Tang Ling'er and his party split into two groups and fled, because he was not good at tracking, but he trusted Cao Zhan and knew that he must be somewhat sure before making such a confirmation. After thinking for a moment, I couldn't make up my mind.
According to what the Fire Dragon Cave disciple said, there were a total of six of them on this trip. The three people Meng Zhao was familiar with were Shi Siming, Zheng Kexie, and Tang Linger. There were quite a few of them, even excluding the one who came to him for help.
There are five left.
It was impossible for him to analyze and guess who was fleeing with whom and where they were fleeing with limited information.
He is not a god, and there are times when he has no scruples.
That's all for the others, but Tang Ling'er had to be rescued, otherwise the Fire Dragon True Lord would get angry and cause trouble in the Fire Dragon Cave, and he, the person being asked for help, would definitely not be pleased.
Because a person who has lost a loved one and lost his mind will not be able to follow rules and principles.
However, Meng Zhao did not hesitate for too long before he assigned,
"Three people, each in one direction, chase separately. Remember, ignore the others. Just save a girl. She is a few years younger than me. She is beautiful and a bit fierce. She is the niece of the contemporary Fire Dragon Lord.
Our only relative, if anything happens to her, we can’t bear it.”
Only then did Cao Zhan realize why Meng Zhao took such a risk to come to the rescue. Fang Zheng looked a little surprised and hesitant.
Zhu Guangxi also stared at him, quite moved. Although the Fire Dragon True Lord was not a powerful master, he was the leader of one of the thirteen families, and his sect's influence spanned many states, ranging from Tianting to Wulin.
It's vast, and it's even been canonized by the imperial court as a true king. This is not easy to get rid of.
At the same time, Zhu Guangxi looked at Meng Zhao strangely.
His contact with Meng Zhao was not long, it could even be said to be very short, but he knew a lot about Meng Zhao.
I always feel that the motive of this guy coming to the rescue is not so pure. After all, Meng Zhao is extremely brave and has a tiger in his chest. He is a dragon among men. He is by no means a timid person, and he will not put himself in danger just because he is afraid of True Lord Fire Dragon.
In dangerous places.
On the contrary, he felt that Meng Zhao was very capable of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. He rushed over to save Tang Linger, and his intention of clinging to the dragon and the phoenix was probably more serious. He could not say that he could see through this kind of thinking at a glance, but he also had some experience.
I think back then, when he was still on duty in the Jade Capital Dragon Court, he was considered to be a high-ranking official. Many young eunuchs showed their favor to him, and they used various methods in various ways.
It is not uncommon for people to consider themselves godfathers, and there are also many people who want to marry their older sisters, younger sisters, or even mothers to him as a couple.
Yes, although eunuchs are not humane, they still have a human heart that can be empty and lonely. Therefore, they often have private meals with palace maids to relieve their loneliness. Zhu Guangxi used to raise six women inside and outside the palace.
The beauties all have about twenty adopted sons at the same time.
Unfortunately, sadly, as he escaped from the palace, he was listed as a wanted criminal in Tianxing Hall. Women and adopted sons were implicated and killed one after another, and now he is the only one left.
Precisely because he had rich experience of being pleased by others, Zhu Guangxi deduced that Meng Zhao had the tendency to use this matter to manage his relationship with the Fire Dragon Cave. Whether it could succeed or not, with this idea, he was at least half successful.
Moreover, Zhu Guangxi believes that this boy Meng Zhao is handsome, well-groomed, and has an extraordinary temperament, which is enough to attract the love of little girls. In addition, regardless of his background, his own talents are also extraordinary. How can he be the niece of True Lord Fire Dragon?
, how could a mere little girl escape the clutches of this cunning person?
Recalling that the Meng family has always had a tradition of marriage, such as Meng Jizu and the Confucian family, Meng Hongdao and Paektu Mountain, then Meng Zhao and Huolongdong are not impossible.
To sum up, Zhu Guangxi, the eunuch, felt that he had figured out Meng Zhao's true intention of this trip, and also understood that for him, rescuing Tang Linger was an extremely important step.
Deep down in his heart, Zhu Guangxi agrees and appreciates this kind of mentality. It is not shameful to eat soft food based on his ability.
And if Meng Zhao can really succeed, it will only be good for him, not bad. After all, the relationship between the two is not bad now, just for the sake of it,
"Don't worry, if you really meet that girl, I will help you save her."
