After a grand ceremony, the motorcade slowly left Xianlai City amid the cheers and gazes of everyone.
Compared with previous years, the scale of the worship service this time was much larger. In addition to three more carriages, there were also about fifty escorts and buddies in green clothes accompanying them.
People with better memories can find that there are five more strangers in different costumes in this year's worship convoy, each riding a horse to patrol the surroundings.
Ten miles away from Xianlai City, Sun Huo and Mr. Bai were walking leisurely on the pipeline. However, Mr. Bai also had a horse underneath him, while Sun Huo was trekking on foot.
The reason why such a situation occurred is not that Xianlai City was negligent in preparation or treated Sun Huo differently, but that Sun Huo himself did not want it.
After confirming that Sun Huo really knew the mountains, forests and wilderness, Xiao Feng thought of arranging for him and another person to set off early so that he could explore the way forward for the enshrined convoy and avoid risks in advance.
Faced with Sun Huo's rejection, Xiao Feng was very puzzled. On the one hand, the existence of the horses was to help the seven of them conserve their physical strength in order to deal with emergencies; on the other hand, they could also maintain sufficient mobility. It can be seen from this that the immortal
Laicheng attaches great importance to this matter and makes full efforts.
In desperation, Sun Huo had no choice but to ask Xiao Feng to help him and take off the long cloth bag on his back. Such an inexplicable request made Xiao Feng even more confused.
Considering that he would have to complete the escort mission with his companions, he still reached out his right hand doubtfully, grabbed one side of the cloth bag, and tried to lift it from the slot on Sun Huo's back.
Unexpectedly, when he grabbed it, the cloth bag didn't move at all. He let go of his hand in confusion, and Xiao Feng looked at it carefully again and found that there was no mechanism design on the card slot, which meant that Sun Huo was not looking for his own happiness.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Feng once again grabbed one side of the cloth bag with one hand. Five points of strength... eight points of strength... The veins on his palms began to bulge one by one, but the bag still showed no sign of moving.<
/p>
Xiao Feng was a little anxious, and he didn't care much at the moment, and put his other hand on the cloth bag. He used 100% of his strength to lift it suddenly, and this time the cloth bag finally started to move, and he slowly pulled it out diagonally.
.
After barely raising it three inches, Xiao Feng felt that his chest was full of breath and he couldn't help but loosen his hands suddenly.
The cloth bag fell back to its original position silently. He only saw that the back of the person in front of him did not shake at all, as if it was not affected by the drop of the cloth bag at all.
"Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Sun Huo turned around, put a hand on Xiao Feng's shoulder, and asked with concern.
Breathing out a heavy breath, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother, you really hide your secrets. I'm really ashamed to call you big brother."
"How can it not be possible? You are older than me and must have more knowledge than me. It is appropriate to call you big brother." Sun Huo smiled, and his words were still condescending.
After chatting for a few more words like this, Sun Huo took the map from Xiao Feng and went to find Mr. Bai and set off together.
This time Sun Huo shows off his skills, it is not a forced move, it is just a matter of time. After all, Xiao Feng, as the leader of the task, knows some situations, and he can also fight for the right to take the initiative in the follow-up road.
Since they are not far away from Xianlai City now, no one will plot evil so quickly, so it is relatively easy for the two of them to walk on the road.
Sun Huo seemed to be looking around casually, but secretly he was thinking about how he could leave alone for a while.
Sun Huo was not surprised by Xianlai City's previous request to take medicine. Although he did not know what kind of relationship other people had with Xianlai City, he himself was actually "picked up" from the street by Xiao Feng. A stranger with unknown origins like himself was invited to join such an important escort mission without any further investigation or testing. No normal person would do such a stupid thing.
If you dare to use outsiders so boldly, you can only have some sanctions. Poison is the best choice that Sun Huo can think of, and it is unavoidable in an honest way.
Although he had used all the preparations before, Sun Huo was not completely sure whether it would succeed or not, and he had to confirm it as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Sun Huo turned to look at the old man aside, "Mr. Bai, someone seems to be snooping in the woods over there. I'll go over and take a look."
Hearing Sun Huo speak, the white-haired old man looked doubtfully in the direction Sun Huo pointed. There was indeed a small forest there, but no one was seen coming or going.
Before he could ask what was going on, Sun Huo had already rushed out towards the woods.
Looking at Sun Huo's retreating figure, the old man frowned, but stopped where he was and did not follow.
Sensing that the old man behind him did not follow him, Sun Huo breathed a sigh of relief, and his steps became more hurried.
After running about a hundred feet away, Sun Huo stopped when he sensed that there were no living creatures around him.
He raised his hand and slapped his abdomen hard, and then thrust the two fingers of his right hand together into his throat.
With a "wow" sound, Sun Huo knelt down and spat out a strange little thing along with a big mouthful of sour water.
Not caring to wipe the saliva from his mouth, Sun Huo quickly picked up the foreign object on the ground, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
It looks like a small sac, with one end slightly pointed and protruding, but the other end is sealed tightly with twisted metal.
Seeing that there was no sign of damage to the bag, Sun Huo's eyes burned brightly, he pinched it with four fingers and pulled it hard. The black pill he had seen before suddenly fell out of it.
Sun Huo took it with quick eyes and hands, and carefully opened his palms. When he saw that the surface of the pill was still dry and moisture-free, his nervous heart was completely relieved.
He went out for a run that day just to find a few dried fish bubbles so that he could make such a gadget.
Stack several fish bubbles, use wax to fix the shape of the outer layer, support the opening with a copper ring, and then seal it with a wax block.
During the previous meeting, when he saw that he needed to take poison to prove his innocence as expected, Sun Huo took action first.
He bit the sealing wax block to expose the capsule and took the pill. Then he chewed and squeezed the copper ring piece to seal the opening and swallowed it into his belly.
Sun Huo was not completely sure about such a move, because the final chewing seal might not be completely sealed, or he might accidentally bite it open. In that case, he would still be poisoned.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Xian Laicheng took out pills instead of poisonous wine; the bag he prepared was also spit out without any damage, so he finally had no worries.
Looking at the pills in his hand, Sun Huo was about to throw them away, but then he thought about it and took out a small bottle and put it away.
After cleaning up the traces on the ground, Sun Huo hurried back towards the way he came.
