After hearing Qing'e's news, Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, feeling that it was necessary to temporarily avoid the ambush of the Black Tiger Lord and change his route back to Guobei County.
After all, he only has more than twenty guards, and he also brings his father with him. It is obviously unwise to fight those monsters at this moment.
Immediately, he waved and said: "Let's change the route and take the trail back to Guobei County."
"Young Master, this trail is rugged, and there are countless mountains and forests on the trail. If there are tigers and wolves lurking, it is more likely to set up an ambush on the trail. If we change the route, wouldn't we be in danger of another sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and...
.." Tieshan said; "And we can't believe this vixen. After all, the younger one broke her legs. Maybe she will come back with revenge and deliberately lead us to a small road."
Qing'e immediately said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. I just want to help the young master and have no intention of harming anyone."
Tieshan was not afraid of her at this moment and scolded: "You keep saying that you are a concubine. The eldest young master has not made you a concubine yet. Now you have asked me to do it. The lecturers say that vixens are harmful to others."
Fairies know how to confuse people and cause other people's families to be destroyed."
"That's a bad vixen, but this concubine is a good vixen." Qing'e defended.
Tieshan said: "A fox is a fox, there is nothing wrong with it. Okay, eldest young master, I think it's better not to change the route and just take the official road. Even if you encounter tigers and wolves, what if you meet a tiger or wolf? I'm afraid of waiting for more than 20 men."
A few tigers and wolves are not enough."
Qing'e hurriedly said: "Young Master, you must not continue walking forward. There are not just a few tigers and wolves in front of you, but dozens of wolves and more than ten tigers. Among them is the Black Mountain Lord, who is a great monster that has been around for thousands of years. Young Master,
Don’t act recklessly, it’s better to change the route as soon as possible and leave via a small road, before Montenegro doesn’t know about it yet, if it’s too late, it will be too late.”
"My son, don't be fooled by the vixen. She definitely wants to harm our Li family. Don't listen to her. Listen to Tieshan. We will follow the official path, not the small path." Li Dafu followed after hearing the argument between the two.
shouted.
Li Xiuyuan frowned at this moment, looked at Qing'e, and then at Tieshan.
I started to hesitate a little.
Is this green fox really here to repay a favor, or is it here to harm myself?
"Young master saved your life by helping me, but my concubine will not harm you. There is indeed a Montenegro Monarch lying in wait in the woods ahead. He will come out and attack you as soon as Master and others arrive."
Qing'e stared at Li Xiuyuan with tears in her eyes, fearing that Li Xiuyuan and others would not believe it and take the wrong path.
Li Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at the official road in the distance.
Calm, so calm that it's a little scary.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure flashing in the shadow of the trees next to him. It didn't look like a living person, but more like a ghost.
There is actually a ghost hiding in the shadow of the trees in broad daylight. This ghost looks unusual.
"Um?"
Without thinking, Li Xiuyuan suddenly took off the golden goose bow from Qianliju's body, raised the bow and shot.
"Wha~!"
The arrow flew out, passed through the shadow of the tree, and nailed a black shadow to the trunk of the tree.
The black figure struggled, showing a look of pain, and he could vaguely see a man with a lifeless face.
"That's a ghost, sent by Lord Montenegro. This ghost is trying to find out when you guys will arrive." Qing Hu said in surprise.
Li Xiuyuan's face immediately hardened and he shouted: "Change the route and take the small road back to Guobei County."
"Young Master, but..." Tieshan wanted to persuade him again.
Li Xiuyuan immediately said coldly: "No, but, I said change the route, didn't you hear it?"
"Yes, young master." Tieshan immediately stopped trying to persuade him and answered with his hands raised.
Li Dafu said: "My son, I really can't trust that vixen. Our Li family even slept with her before and she almost died..."
"Father, don't worry. Children have their own sense of proportion." After finishing speaking, Li Xiuyuan added: "Hurry up and don't stop all the way. We will return to Guobei County as quickly as possible."
"Yes." Everyone responded.
Li Xiuyuan said nothing at this moment. He immediately pulled the reins and sped up, walking toward a path leading into the forest.
The crowd followed closely behind, driving their horses on the road without stopping.
Fortunately, this time everyone was traveling in light vehicles and did not bring anything with them. The ninety thousand taels of silver that he brought were left in the village. He only brought a few personal belongings and a piece of jade.
This thing doesn't bother everyone.
Moreover, among them all, except for his father, Li Dafu, who cannot ride a horse, they are all good horseback riders.
As a result, the speed is much faster than when we came here before.
Following the trail, although there were many trees and rugged roads, we did not encounter any dangers along the way, which reassured everyone who was worried at first.
However, after driving for more than two hours, at dusk, there was a rustling sound in the nearby forest.
A smelly wind shuttled through the mountains and forests, following Li Xiuyuan and others.
The green fox standing on the horse's head twitched its ears and said hurriedly: "Oh no, the demons under Lord Montenegro are here, and they discovered our whereabouts."
"Already seen it."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed, and he saw many innocent souls wandering in the mountains and forests. The shadows in the forest were shaking, and they were like ghosts, baring their teeth and claws, which was really scary.
It's just that no matter how fast you go or how fast you go, you can't escape the pursuit of these evil spirits.
It is said that a ghost can travel a hundred miles in a night, and if it encounters wind, it can go even faster.
It is almost impossible for mortals to catch up.
It's not that it can't reach this speed, there are also fast horses that can travel hundreds of miles in a day, but if a ghost walks through the mountains and forests and flies straight all the way, while a human has to follow a curved road, it is naturally impossible to keep up.
"簌猌~!"
The vegetation in the nearby mountains and forests swayed, a strange wind blew, and there were faint rustling sounds that sounded like humans but not humans, like insects but not insects.
It's like someone is whispering.
"Noisy ears." Li Xiuyuan pulled off the jade belt around his waist.
There is no need to block this aura. The Black Tiger Lord has already come to the door, and there is no way to hide.
There is no blockage anymore, as his breath spreads out.
Taoism is ineffective within three feet, ghosts and gods are not close within ten feet, and some little ghosts beyond ten feet can also be affected. As for how much, it depends on the little ghost's Taoism.
This is a range measured by Li Xiuyuan's own master.
As his breath spread out, the vegetation in the forest suddenly rustled, and then the strange wind stopped and the whispers disappeared.
It was as if everything between heaven and earth had become clear.
"Sir, those scoundrels have left." Qing'e said with some joy.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. Our whereabouts have been detected by the Black Tiger Lord. I guess the Black Tiger Lord will not give up. Otherwise, he would not have sent ghosts to follow us along the way."
Even if the ghost is not following you, it will still peek from a distance.
It's just that I don't know about this peek.
But that doesn't mean it's safe.
"Tieshan, how long does it take to reach Guobei County?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Tieshan said: "We will be there in about half an hour. After walking this path, you can turn to the main road of Guobei County. You will definitely be able to return to the county before dark. Young master, don't worry too much.
, now there is only this little road left, I believe no wild beasts will attack us anymore, this is a road that people often walk near the village, there are no wild beasts..."
But before he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a sound of howling wind beside his ears, as if a strong wind suddenly blew.
But no one felt the wind blowing.
At this moment, a dark cloud in the sky was blown by the strong wind, like a roaring tiger, shrouding the place.
"The wind has picked up? The sky is getting dark. Is it going to rain?" A guard looked up at the sky.
"Sir, it's not good, it's Lord Montenegro who's here." Qing'e said in panic.
Li Xiuyuan squinted his eyes and looked up at the dark clouds blowing in the sky.
There was a strong wind all around, and the grass and trees were rolled back.
But it is not affected when you are around yourself.
This situation obviously does not happen naturally, but there are monsters who are casting spells, magical powers, and making wind and rain.
Only the wind and rain caused by the spell could not affect Li Xiuyuan.
