The mountains were rugged and difficult to travel, especially with horses. It was a struggle and we found a valley to hide.
The traveling state suddenly turned into an emergency hiding state, naturally because of the perceived danger.
The sudden interception made Niu Youdao aware of an unprecedented danger. This danger was beyond his expectation and completely unexpected. Without a clue, he really did not dare to go any further!
If you don’t figure this out, you won’t know where the danger comes from or why you were targeted. You are too passive!
The troops settled down, and everyone looked at Niu Youdao from time to time, who seemed to be worried.
Niu Youdao Chujian stood by the stream, raising his head and looking at the bright moon above the valley.
Yuan Fang came closer, "Master Dao, are we going to hide here?"
Niu Youdao was indifferent and waited for a while before saying, "Take 50,000 yuan to supply Black Peony."
"..." Yuanfang was speechless. If he had known better, he would not have come over to talk to her.
However, Black Peony heard the sound and came over, "Master Tao, no need!"
Niu Youdao said nothing, still thinking.
Yuanfang took out 50,000 yuan, gave it to Black Peony, and stayed away.
Looking at the golden ticket in his hand, Black Mudan saw that Niu Youdao was thinking about something, so he didn't bother him. He also roughly understood Niu Youdao's character, so since he gave it to him, he took it.
There was a burst of thumping sound, mixed with the chirping of birds, and Niu Youdao was so startled that he came to his senses and turned around suddenly.
"There is a cave here."
Duan Hu, who was investigating in the valley, flashed back and found a natural cave. He walked in and took a look, but as a result, he disturbed the birds that lived in the cave for the night.
A few people walked over and took a look, and it turned out that it was indeed a cave. To be precise, it was an opening created by a split in the mountain. It was not very big, with an oblique triangular entrance and a depth of two to three feet.
After walking into the cave and taking a look, Niu You said: "Bring me a map."
Duan Hu took out the map from the package he was carrying. There was no table here. Wu Sanliang on the side took his hand, and the two pulled apart. The map was opened in front of Niu Youdao, and Yuedie clung to it.
Lighting on the rocks above.
Niu Youdao Chujian stood in front of the map, his eyes followed the path he came from, and finally landed on Duyun Mountain.
Who wants to kill him? His enemies are currently only those people. Generally speaking, those people of the Song family, and then the Yan Kingdom court involved after killing Song Long. Apart from these two groups of people, he really can't think of anyone right now.
Who would come to Zhao to kill him?
And this precise interception proved that he was being targeted and his route was precisely locked.
Who targeted him? How did they target him? If he couldn't figure out how he was targeted, he might fall into someone else's net at any time, and he wouldn't dare to trespass even a single step!
At present, what he knows is that the three sects of Liuxian Sect, Fuyun Sect and Lingxiu Mountain are chasing him. The other one who most likely knows his approximate route is Duyun Mountain.
Judging from the situation and reaction of contacting Yun Huan, Du Yunshan should be able to rule it out. It is unlikely that Du Yunshan knew that he would visit before. If he had received the news that he wanted to do evil things to him, he would not have let him go.
It's easy to keep him, let alone what happens later.
Therefore, Hou Qingtian's words are credible. Duyunshan only received the news of the interception after he left.
People from the three sects can also be eliminated. If the three sects can accurately grasp his specific route, they can directly take a shortcut and intercept and kill him personally, without having to borrow Du Yunshan's help.
In this case, a third party accurately grasped his whereabouts.
There are only two possibilities for this third party to find Duyunshan. Either there are no men on hand who can kill him, or there is a distance problem and the men who can kill him cannot arrive in time.
It is also certain that the third party cannot contact the killers of the three factions of Liuxian Sect, otherwise there is no need to find Duyunshan.
So how did the third party accurately grasp his route?
You have to discover him first, and then follow up and make arrangements.
He directly eliminated the possibility of being targeted within the Star Reaching City area. The reason for the exclusion was that, like the three factions, it was difficult to grasp his precise whereabouts.
Then the person who was targeted may have been targeted only after he left the Gobi grassland and entered the official road.
The prerequisite for targeting him is to know him. He is a little strange. Does anyone know him here? In Zhao country, neither he knows nor many people know him, let alone bumping into him in such a remote area.
, the probability of meeting is really too low, and the situation of meeting Chen Guishuo in Jinzhou will not happen again, right? The reason for staying in the Immortal Sect is because he has his portrait. Could it be that someone along the way also has his portrait?
?
"Did you notice any abnormalities along the way? Think carefully and don't let go of any abnormalities."
Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and gestured widely back and forth on the route here. His own thoughts were actually focused on the inns along the way. There were not many passers-by in this remote place, so the most common place with people was
Stations along the way.
Several people thought about it for a while but had no response, and couldn't think of anything unusual.
Black Mudan asked: "Master Tao, when you went to Duyun Mountain to visit Yun Huan, does it count that you were intercepted and killed before?"
Niu Youdao: "It doesn't count!"
Black Peony: "Then there was nothing unusual along the way. After we left Star Reaching City and entered the official road, except for these two things, we basically didn't stop all the way. We only changed horses at the inn."
"Please help me mark the location of the horse-changing post station on the map, as well as Yunhuan's old nest, Yunxiao Cave Mansion, and the location where we were intercepted at Sandao Bend. Please mark them as accurately as possible." Niu Youdao gave an order, and turned around to face him again.
Yuanfang said: "Take out the charcoal pencil."
Yuanfang took the charcoal pencil with him along the way. He took out the charcoal pencil and gave it to Black Peony.
Black Mudan discussed with Duan Hu and others and confirmed the location of the post station next to the official road. It was not difficult to remember that the post station was quite large and a hub. It was near a fork in the road and was easily located. As for Yun
The location of Huan Lao Chao is on a main peak of Duyun Mountain. Just find the main peak and circle it to locate it. The location where the three turns are cut off is at a certain bend, so it is easier to find.
"Master Dao, you're done." Black Peony turned around and said.
Niu Youdao took away the charcoal from her hand and looked at the map carefully. If we say it is standard, this map is really not standard. But compared to the ancient abstract map he knew in his previous life, it is really too standard. I guess
It is related to the help of monks everywhere, which brings convenience in surveying and mapping.
He drew the scabbard on the map and calculated the distance from one place to another. He then used a charcoal pen to mark the scale on the scabbard, and then measured the marked Duyun Mountain and Sanshan using this ratio.
Check the position of the road curve and verify the accuracy of the scale.
A series of inexplicable actions made several people look at each other in confusion, completely confused and wondering what he was doing.
Niu Youdao, who put down his scabbard, stood in front of the map, stared at the map and asked: "Where do you think the intermediary who contacted Duyun Mountain for my killer will be?"
Black Peony smiled bitterly: "How is it possible to know this?"
Niu Youdao's eyes were fixed on Chizhou Fucheng, and he said slowly: "You two cast spells to tighten the map."
Duan Hu and Wu Sanliang did as they were told.
Niu Youdao Hengjian was in Chizhou Fucheng and Yunxiao Cave. According to the distance shown on the scale, divided by the known approximate flight speed of the Golden Wing, he got the approximate time. He wrote a number next to the map with charcoal. How many people
Incomprehensible numbers.
Niu Youdao pointed at Chizhou Fucheng. The charcoal pen held in his fingertips was slowly floated away by the magic power, and he pointed at the location of Yunxiao Cave. The spinning magic power brought the charcoal pen with it and drew a mark on the map with a swish sound.
A circle with Chizhou Fucheng as the center.
After adsorbing the charcoal pen in hand, Shen Mo calculated the time from leaving the inn to leaving Duyun Mountain. He subtracted the time just calculated and multiplied it by the approximate flying speed of the golden wings to calculate the approximate distance. He once again placed the scabbard horizontally on the red
The capital city was used as the starting point, and the distance point just obtained was marked in any direction.
Then he pointed at Chizhou Fucheng as the center again, floated the charcoal to the previous point, and drew a circle with a swish of rotation.
Niu Youdao grabbed the charcoal and looked at the location of the inn. He found that the circle he had just drawn had already framed the inn, which was different from his guess.
But this is not important. It would be strange if there were no errors. Among them are the time difference between message transfer and sending, as well as timing errors, plus the inaccuracy of the map.
What he wants is just a rough verification, not precision.
He then drew circles one after another, constantly holding the scabbard to measure the circles, and writing down some strange numbers that few people could understand.
After doing this for a while, Chu Jian stood in front of him and stared at the map and said: "There was something wrong with the station where we changed horses before. It should have been discovered there."
Several people looked at each other.
Then Niu Youdao said slowly: "The message should have been sent out about a stick of incense time after we left the inn. After the message arrived in Chizhou Fucheng, it stayed for about half an hour, and then the intermediary sent it to Du Yun
Shan. If I guess correctly, the person who bought my life and the intermediary are both in Chizhou City."
When he said this, several people were speechless. It was as if he had seen this kind of thing with his own eyes.
Black Mudan tried to ask: "Master Tao, I think you seemed to have aimed at Chizhou Fucheng from the beginning."
Niu Youdao: "Chizhou Fucheng was just a hypothesis at the beginning. The business of buying and selling human lives, if you can do it, you won't be able to do it if you can't control the buyers and sellers. And being able to contact people at any time to help buyers solve problems is also
It cannot be done by one person, it must be an organization. I don’t know how big this organization is, but the first-level center should not be in a small place near Duyun Mountain. The location should have certain geographical radiation advantages.
Combined with the approximate distance that can be generated by the time of message transmission, I took a rough look and found that Chizhou is very suspicious, so I used it to verify the hypothesis. The final calculation result is relatively reasonable in terms of time and distance, so the hypothesis of Chizhou is established."
